Chicago, Gold Coast Building, 23rd floor, VIP bathroom, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Xiangnon carefully inspected the space of more than 100 square meters, as she wished, she was the only one here.

Exhaled deeply into the bust, damn it, this dress on her was going to make her breathless.

After half past two, Zhao Xiangnong needed to go to two appointments, and in order to save time, she set both dates here, one on the twenty-third floor and one on the twenty-seventh floor, which was more of a negotiation than an appointment.

She negotiated with her father's lover and her fiancé's girlfriend.

Zhao Xiangnong didn't have much time or patience with the two women's mothers-in-law, so she needed this dress to give the other party a dismount so as to solve the problem at one time.

Padded shoulders, corseted waist, skirt just over the knee, black, the only embellishment is the red belt around the waist, Zhao Xiangnon learned crisis public relations, one of the major elements of crisis public relations handling is the first impression.

The combination of black and red will achieve an aggressive effect.

Straightening her waist, Zhao Xiangnong looked at her face in the mirror, she had just celebrated her twenty-fourth birthday a week ago.

The year of ten was a turning point in Zhao Xiangnong's life, she still remembers that in that summer, in the black coal mine, she was carrying briquettes in her hand, she secretly hid from her mother to work in the coal mine, and she could get a penny for moving three briquettes.

In the summer dusk, the honorable man appeared in front of her and called her "Xiao Nong".

That's her father, Zhao Yanting.

Since that day, Zhao has changed from Li Xiangnon to Zhao Xiangnon, and she and her mother, who has been sick, came to the United States, from a child laborer in a coal mine to the sole heir to a billionaire.

Zhao Xiangnong had a childhood of scarcity, which belonged to her childhood and received very little nutritional supplements, all, her development came later than that of girls of the same age, when other girls developed slim, her body began to rise, and when other girls said goodbye to baby fat and freckles, she ......

Twenty-four-year-old Zhao Xiangnon has an apple face, coupled with the baby fat that has been relying on her for a long time, Kashiwahara always says that he always has the urge to bite on her face, and he also said that when he bites, he will definitely hear a crisp "jump".

Many people will say that the young lady of the Zhao family is like the morning breeze in the countryside and the fresh matcha ice cream in the summer.

Is that really the case? Is that really the case?

Hooking the corners of his mouth, Zhao Xiangnong smiled.

The hand gently touched the face in the mirror that was likened to a breeze matcha ice cream, yes, her face is indeed easy to confuse people's eyes, looking sweet and fresh, unworldly.

And only she knew that under such an ignorant skin was a rotten soul.

Zhao Xiangnong was stunned for a long time in the mirror, and waited until the mobile phone message reminder put aside before he came back to his senses and took out the lipstick from his handbag.

Wearing a thick lipstick, Zhao Xiangnon is still not very satisfied, her face looks too tender, her face is matched with the dress on her body, and her red lips look like a yellow-haired girl who stole her mother's beautiful clothes.

Add another layer of color to the lips, accentuate the eyeshadow, and replace the diamond earrings with pearl earrings.

Well, it looks better that way! At least as long as her eyes don't bend downwards and the corners of her mouth don't go up, she still looks like that.

Fifteen minutes to go.

For the next fifteen minutes, she needs to practice how to communicate with her two negotiators, such as the tone of her expressions.

The higher the status of people in this world, the more afraid they will be of telling the truth, and the things about smashing people with checks in the movie are all nonsense.

Zhao Xiangnon practiced his expression and mouth shape in front of the mirror, what he needed to say to the one on the twenty-third floor, and what he needed to say to the one on the twenty-seventh floor.

Something happened in the last five minutes of those fifteen minutes.

There was a mobile phone ringing in the last compartment of the VIP bathroom, even if the mobile phone was set to vibrate, even if the owner of the mobile phone chose to turn off the mobile phone just rang, Zhao Xiangnon still heard it.

In other words, there was another person in the bathroom, which meant that that person had heard all her muttering for half an hour, including her outburst!

"Whoever you are, come out for me right away!" Standing outside the door, Zhao Xiangnong said coldly to the people in the door.

A minute later, Zhao Xiangnong still didn't wait for any response.

With his hand stretched out, Zhao Xiangnong tried to push the door open.

The door slowly opened with the touch of her hand.

After a long time, Zhao Xiangnon remembered that style of painting.

The door depicted with golden dahlias slowly opened.

Almost, at that moment, Zhao Xiangnong thought that he had fallen into some ancient period: the Garden of Eden, the apple tree, the thousand-year-old daylight, the gorgeous apples, the winged dragon, and the colorful bird.

Many, many colors mingle on the walls of that boxy space, a restroom that addresses a certain aspect of human needs.

The man who has been to the 23rd floor of the Golden Mansion greets his friends like this: Be sure to go to the VIP restroom.

Now, Zhao Xiangnon knows that it would be a great loss if he came to the twenty-third floor and did not come to the bathroom, and Zhao Xiangnong knew at a glance that it was from the hand of the mural master in this boxy space.

And that person, the young man with a huge body and hands behind his back seems to be the only character embedded in the painting, if it weren't for the ringtone of the mobile phone just now, if it wasn't for the man smiling at her, then Zhao Xiangnong would have thought that the man standing under the apple tree was the person in the painting.

If the Arabian horse is used to describe Kashiwahara embroidery, then the man in front of him is an elk in the Garden of Eden.

She looked at him, he looked at her, and none of them spoke.

After a few seconds, Zhao Xiangnong's eyes stopped on the man's sneakers, and she roughly guessed why the man appeared in this women's bathroom.

Even if a man is dressed decently, his sneakers still reveal some aspects of his attributes, and shoes worn under a man's feet usually appear in department stores on the annual Black Friday for two pairs of ten dollars.

Her dad is a department store magnate.

"Come out!" Zhao Xiangnon shook the mobile phone in his hand and said.

The man moved one step earlier, and Zhao Xiangnon turned around and the man followed her.

Back at the previous place, Zhao Xiangnong was face to face with the man, and the man in front of him was about the same age as her, and he was also black hair and yellow skin like her.

Men have very beautiful eyes, and Zhao Xiangnong is sure that among the 100 million people, he will not be able to find such beautiful eyes, which are pitch black, just like the eyes of animals in the forest.

With beautiful eyes and delicate outlines, Zhao Xiangnong thought in her heart that this was a face that would make girls crazy.

"Hold your hand out." Zhao Shannon said to the man.

The man is of tall stature, and she must keep her head up when talking to him.

After a moment's hesitation, the man slowly stretched out his hand, which had been pinned behind his back.

Really!

Zhao Xiangnon has heard some things, some people will change into decent dresses and try to sneak into some pies, cocktail parties, weddings, and then secretly take the expensive red wine, and they will take the stolen red wine to the red wine market to sell.

Zhao Xiangnong knew that someone was holding a wedding on the twenty-fourth floor, and she also knew that someone had infiltrated the wedding scene and stole the red wine that the bride's father had treasured for a long time.

It is said that the bottle of red wine was a wedding gift that the bride's father wanted to give to his daughter.

Therefore, the man in front of him was a thief stealing red wine, and Zhao Xiangnong picked up his mobile phone in front of the man.

The fair-skinned, slender hand snatched her phone.

"I didn't mean to snatch your phone." The man held the mobile phone and said, very nice and standard Chinese pronunciation.

Bastard! I took it in my hand and said it wasn't a robbery.

The man with his mobile phone in one hand and red wine in the other spoke quickly and urgently: "It's not what you imagined, I don't want to be like this at all, please give me a minute to explain, the bride on the twenty-fourth floor has dated me a few times, it was a very cute girl, because of cuteness, I would like to spend a little time with her to see it. Two movies, or spending a little time in the park, but she seemed to misunderstand, she asked me to marry me, I told her that I didn't mean that to her, and then, she seemed to be sad, last week she told me that she was getting married, and she offered to let me go to her wedding, so I borrowed a dress from my friend and came to the wedding, and then, she suddenly asked me to take her out of here, and her words frightened me, and I told her that it was impossible. ”

So......" The man lifted the collar of the gown.

Zhao Xiangnon saw that the white shirt under the man's gift had red wine marks.

The man said helplessly: "She splashed me with red wine and it became like this, what made me feel a headache was that this dress was borrowed by my friend from his friend." ”

In a more embarrassed tone, the man continued: "All the money from my part-time job this month was used to buy wheels, so I don't have the money to buy a new dress to compensate my friend's friend, so I took this when I left the wedding scene!" ”

The man shook the red wine in his hand: "At that time, I was thinking, maybe I can use it to change into a dress, and then it will be like this...... do you understand when I say this?" ”

Zhao Xiangnon nodded!

"So, you're not going to call the police?" The man asked again.

"Yes, you've already explained, so I'm not going to call the police." Zhao Xiangnon and he said.

The man handed the phone into Zhao Xiangnon's hand.

What a deceitful person, who listened to her muttering and swear words clearly in the past half an hour, this person is going to be unlucky today!

This time, Zhao Shannon did not let the man succeed in snatching her mobile phone, she called the manager of the restaurant.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't call the police?" The man looked depressed.

"You're asking a stupid question!" Zhao Xiangnong put her phone in her handbag and glanced at her watch, damn it, this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared made her delay for dozens of minutes.

"Just now, I really believe you won't call the police."

Another simple-minded stunned young man! Zhao Xiangnong is sure that the person in front of her belongs to a character who will never intersect with her, so there is no need for her to pretend with him.

So, she looked at him with contempt, and then she just had to wait for the restaurant manager to come in and take the person away, and she didn't want to take the time to talk to him.

It's just that the man seems to have something to say.

Slowly, the man pointed to her eyes: "Your eyes tell me that you are a sincere person, you are not a person who will lie." ”

Suddenly, Zhao Xiangnon seemed to have received a heavy blow.

Once, once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there was a man who said exactly the same thing to this man.

Following the fingertips pointed at her, Zhao Xiangnong clearly saw the man's eyes.

Innocence, as if, not stained with dust!

In a long, long time ago, such a trait appeared in another person.

In this world, you are not the only one who has secrets, and many people understand that 80% of the unspeakable secrets belong to the gray area.

Zhao Xiangnon also has an ulterior secret in her heart, that secret always swallows her heart in the middle of the night, gradually, Zhao Xiangnong understands, the best way to put aside a secret full of negative energy is to choose to ignore it, choose to look at it coldly when it has the upper hand.

Ignorance - numbness - forgetting.

Zhao Xiangnon has always thought that she has done a good job, at least, she has rarely dreamed of that person's face in the past few years.

It's just that at this moment, this red wine thief who appeared inexplicably suddenly revealed her ugly scars in the past.

"Your eyes tell me that you are a sincere person, and you are not a person who will lie." Slowly, the man pointed his finger at her.

Zhao Xiangnon turned his face away and chose to ignore it.

At this moment, the knock on the door outside the bathroom also sounded cooperatively, Zhao Xiangnong walked to the door, and as soon as his hand touched the doorknob, such a sentence sounded behind him.

"Just now, I accidentally turned on my phone to record."

Zhao Xiangnon frowned and turned around.

The man turned on his phone.

Coincidentally, the mobile phone recorded all her swearing, and most importantly, she also scolded her immediate boss, the special commissioner who had just been authorized by the UN Secretary-General to come to Chicago, and a week ago, Zhao Shannon had just won the favor of the special commissioner's assistant with her so-called healthy image and just the right conversation, and became a member of her public relations team.

Opening the door, Zhao Xiangnong smiled at the manager waiting outside, with an embarrassed expression, as if she had made a fuss.

After the men left, the man went to great lengths to say that he didn't want to leave any criminal record at the police station, and he explained: "The phone recording is really unintentional, and I can guarantee that no third person will know about it, but only if the police don't trouble me." ”

"Get out!" Zhao Xiangnong spit out coldly.

The man nodded, took a few steps and stopped, and said, "I've seen you before, and I know who you are." ”

Many people in the city of Chicago have seen her, many people know who she is, and even occasionally when she and her friends have something to do, the heir of the Zhao family will be the first person to be excluded from the incident, and they will automatically explain for her: "Zhao Xiangnon looks so cute, she will definitely not do such a thing, she is just implicated by her friends." ”

Indeed, as those people say, she rarely does things out of the ordinary, most of the time her friends do things out of the ordinary, and more often she is the one who watches the excitement, and she also likes to watch the excitement.

Facing the man's face, Zhao Xiangnong suddenly felt very impatient, his eyes patrolled up and down his body, and finally, he stayed on his buttocks.

Well, a man's face and figure are very suitable for jeans commercials.

squeezed out a sweet smile at the man Zhao Xiangnon: "You said that you know me and know who I am?" ”

Within a few steps, Zhao Xiangnon was very close to the man, and her handprint was on the man's buttocks, and she raised her eyebrows: "I said, the thief who stole red wine, maybe, you want to make a little extra money?" ”

"What do you mean?" The man's pretty eyes were marked with a question mark.

The smile on the corner of her mouth continued to spread, and the hand imprinted on the man's buttocks moved downward, and her friends all picked it this way. teasing the boy, she wanted to try it when she looked for it, stood on tiptoe, and blew in the man's ear: "Do you understand anything now?" Well? If you want, I can guarantee that you won't have to work part-time outside for at least a year. ”

There was a thought in Zhao Xiangnong's heart, if there was no thought, it was forming faintly, occasionally blown away by the wind, and occasionally it could be very crazy.

"Pretty young man, do you understand what I mean?" She curled her eyebrows, her tone flirtatious.

The man didn't move, just looked at her lightly.

Zhao Xiangnon suddenly felt bored, put down his hand, the man walked away, Zhao Xiangnong returned to the mirror, put lipstick on his lips to adjust his expression, just made such a fuss, her state seemed to be gone.

Zhao Xiangnon put on lipstick while looking through the mirror at the back of the man leaving, the man did not open the door directly but turned his head to look at her, she and his gaze touched in the mirror.

The man hesitated, pointed to her high heels, and said, "If I were you, I would have the people from the twenty-seventh and twenty-third floors called together, so that it would save time and give an example." ”

The man's words made Zhao Xiangnong's lipstick crooked to his chin.

In the afternoon, at three o'clock, Zhao Xiangnon sat in the southeast window of the restaurant private room on the 23rd floor of the Gold Coast Building, and two women sat opposite her.

Both women are Oriental women, her father and her fiancé both like Oriental girls, her father has always liked Oriental girls, and her fiancé seems to have only started to like Oriental girls in recent years, and he used to prefer golden cats.

A more accurate description of the two women in front of you is a woman and a girl.

The woman has a foreign name called Jessica, Zhao Yanting's lover, and the girl has a name that fits her characteristics very well, called Xia Xiaochun.

A few minutes ago, Zhao Xiangnon accepted the construction of the thief who stole red wine and called the two women together to "give an example".

"My mom isn't available!" Zhao Xiangnon looked at a watch before saying this, and the meaning was very clear, Mrs. Zhao didn't have time to greet you and I also took the time to come here.

As he spoke, Zhao Xiangnong took out a check from his handbag and pushed it in front of Jessica: "A month ago, I also met another woman here, I gave her the same amount, and she said thank you to me when she left. ”

Jessica didn't look at the number of checks, and looked at Zhao Xiangnong with a lightly makeup face: "I have made it very clear on the phone." ”

Zhao Xiangnong nodded: "Are you referring to pregnancy?" ”

"Yes, exactly two months as of yesterday, here's a doctor's certificate." Jessica said as she reached for her bag.

"No, no, I believe." Zhao Xiangnon stopped her with a gesture.

Pressing the cup on the check on the table, Zhao Xiangnon looked at Jessica lightly, and said lightly: "Jessica, you should inquire in detail before you make that call, my father made a will a long time ago, I am his only heir, and he has a special statement on that will, no one, including himself, has the right to modify the will, do you understand when I say this?" ”

"I'm not going to take the kid." Jessica will also speak in a faint voice.

"You seem to have misunderstood, we didn't mean to ask you to take the child." Zhao Xiangnong looked at his watch again: "You can give birth to a child, if you take the child, we can pay you and the child enough living expenses every month, but the premise is that you will not marry for the rest of your life, we also act in accordance with the law, once you marry, we can stop providing you with any living expenses according to the legal basis." ”

Jessica had always been very plain, and there was a hint of affection on her face.

Zhao Shannon tapped his finger on the check: "Jessica, you are now faced with two choices, one is to do what I said just now, and the other is to leave here with this check, and we should treat it as if nothing happened." ”

A few minutes later, Jessica walked away with the check, and of course, she didn't say thank you to her.

Solved one, there is another.

Sitting on the right hand opposite Zhao Xiangnong is Xia Xiaochun, the girlfriend of Bai Yuan Xiu.

Squinting her eyes, Zhao Xiangnong looked at the girl in front of her, Xia Xiaochun's face was hung with noodles in clear soup, she was about the same age as her, but she was younger than her, and the cartoon T-shirt with patterns made her look more like a big life.

A few months ago, Zhao Xiangnon also sent a girl like this to ask her to think about when all this mess began.

Twenty-one years old? Or twenty-two?

That summer, her mother, who was always sick, said to her, "Nong, mommy doesn't know what to do?" Mom doesn't seem to have that energy anymore. ”

She hugged her mother and said, "Mom, don't worry, leave it all to me." ”

So, from that time on, every few months she began to receive calls from her mother to her mobile phone.

As for Kashiwahara embroidery, Kashiwahara embroidery......

Fingers pressed her temples, and the girl in front of her should be more troublesome than Jessica, because Xia Xiaochun was not a smart girl at first glance.

In a world that belongs to some people, the one who drills the horns of the bull is more difficult to deal with than the smart one.

"Xia Xiaochun, right?"

Xia Xiaochun nodded.

"Do you think the woman was pregnant?" Zhao Xiangnon asked.

"You shouldn't have subjected a mother to that kind of insult." Xia Xiaochun said.

It's really stupid, Zhao Xiangnong has a feeling that he wants to laugh: "Xia Xiaochun, I think you yourself know very well that your IQ is not on the same level as the woman just now, right?" ”

Xia Xiaochun didn't speak.

"Illegal abortion is strictly prohibited in the United States, and a person who strangled his own flesh and blood with his own hands will be condemned by public opinion here, and Jessica just got a green card, what do you think are the chances of pregnancy in her?"

"No matter what, I don't think a woman will ......"

"Do you think a woman wouldn't joke about her children?" At this time, Zhao Xiangnong laughed: "Come on, my dear, do you really think you're pregnant?" The reason why she forged that pregnancy certificate was just to get me to add a zero or two zeros to the check I wrote, and even if she did, if she wanted to make a long-term investment, she would try to sneak out the child after hearing about my father's will. ”

Then, Zhao Xiangnong saw that Xia Xiaochun's mouth was open all the time.

"Why, I think I'm different from what you imagined, so now that you're thinking about such a question in your heart, do you need to apologize to me, maybe you should have a showdown with me directly!"

Xia Xiaochun closed her mouth and said, "I...... It's ...... today."

"Did he kiss you?" Zhao Xiangnong asked suddenly.

Xia Xiaochun quickly avoided her eyes, and a faint flush was stained on her fair cheeks.

I really kissed it.,Kashiwahara embroidery really kissed the girl in front of me.。

The clear glass is printed with the blue sky of Chicago, so bright that Zhao Xiangnon can only squint his eyes a little smaller, and squint a little smaller so that he will not be pierced by those overwhelming lights.

Today, it is a week since she became the fiancée of Kashiwahara embroidery.

Today, she asked the girl named Xia Xiaochun such a question as the fiancée of Kashiwahara embroidery.

"Did you go to bed?"

At certain moments, Zhao Xiangnong will have a certain disgust for his cloakroom, which is always the same color, pure white, light blue, light purple, emerald green......

Zhao Xiangnon has her own exclusive fashion designer, image designer, these are all brought to her by Zhao Yanting Tong guò his secretary, her father is paranoid in a certain way, he wants her daughter to be a pure beauty, simple, fresh.

When she was a child, Zhao Xiangnong didn't understand or understand, but gradually as she grew up, she understood little by little with the information she read from her mother's eyes.

There's nothing wrong with being a pure beauty, at least, her appearance keeps her away from all kinds of weird black pots.

In the face of children born with golden keys in their mouths, people's requirements are demanding: wearing fur once will cause someone from the Society for the Protection of Animals to come to the door, someone will call to complain at a music conference, talking loudly to your pet will be considered animal cruelty, driving a high-displacement car will be approached by environmentalists, donating money will be said to be a show, and so on......

Touching her face in the mirror, this face helped her a lot, not long ago she was rated as the most wanted celebrity in a poll launched by a website.

Zhao Xiangnong slowly changed out of the red and black dress.

A pure white mid-sleeved high-necked dress was worn over her, and the red and black gown was set aside, believing that a servant would take it from her as soon as she left the room, and that the servant would take it to the garment donation center the next day, for the man did not like his daughter to dress like that.

Coming out of the room, a dry face, straight black medium and long hair all pulled back, milky white flat shoes stepped on the golden corridor carpet, and the expressionless face that passed by the corner began to slow down and get up, and when the lights of the restaurant fell on her face, Zhao Xiangnong raised the corners of her mouth.

With the raised corners of her mouth, the corners of her eyes bent down, and the skirt swayed with her footsteps in an orderly manner, she came to her father and mother, Cheng Liang's dinner lid printed her face very brightly.

The hand hung in front of him and said in a sweet voice: "Daddy, Mommy." ”

Zhao Yanting began to laugh, and like her, he also had a pair of eyes that would bend down when he smiled.

Constrained to the end of the thirty-five minutes of dinner, the man was talking to his daughter all the time, and the hostess on one side was nothing.

In the end, the man's voice was full of doting: "Xiao Nong, I'll come to Dad's study later."

"Stupid!" With a gentle sneer, Zhao Xiangnon straightened his posture: "Before you, I also said that the girls who really love Bai Yuanxiu came to me, they all look like you, they don't have much life experience, they have clear eyes, they are dressed plainly, and of course they can also make delicious meals." ”

"What do you mean?" She asked.

Zhao Xiangnong smiled bitterly: "Don't you understand?" Xia Xiaochun, there must be a zero before the identical one, two, and three, and that zero is the original, the most immortal, do you understand? ”

This afternoon, her words made Xia Xiaochun flee in panic, and the girl who fell into the whirlpool of love was still a dead duck even if she felt something.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't use lies like that to make me look down on you even more."
