I stared at the phone for a while before I connected to Yu Xin's call. I asked her, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Yu Xin on the other end of the phone groaned for a while, and then said to me: "Brother Jiangqiao, I want to borrow some money from you, can you come out to meet me?" ”

I looked at my watch, it was eight o'clock in the evening, it was not too late, besides, I had known Yu Xin for so long, and I hadn't mentioned money to me, so I answered, and then said to her: "I'm with Xiao Ai now, or let's go to you together, let's have a meal and drink some wine." ”

"You're alone, okay? …… I didn't really want to see her. ”

Yu Xin's words made me feel a lot in my heart. After all, she and Xiao Ai were also the best girlfriends in college, but now they have to consider whether they want to meet even once. But I can also understand Yu Xin, because her current pain and unhappiness are all because she has Xiao Ai as an old enemy in her life.

After thinking about it for a moment, I replied, "Okay, you name a place, and I'll go look for you now." ”

"It's the Stone Forest Tea House on Tulip Road."

"Hmm."

After ending the call with Yu Xin, I said to Gu Lin again: "A friend has something to do with me, I have to go over now...... By the way, I'll make an appointment with you tomorrow, and Wu Huahuo will meet together. ”

Gu Lin nodded: "Well, I was also about to talk to you about this...... There is a problem here, even if we can expose all the suspects of the year, but there is still a problem of evidence collection, if there is no hard evidence to prove that the fire in the piano store was done by them, there is still no way to use the weapon of law to punish them. ”

"Well, so I want to meet with you to talk about this, for me, what I want is a fair result, not just the truth, but there has to be a bigger opportunity!"

……

Leaving the hospital, I drove Xiao Ai towards Tulip Road. On the way, she said to me: "Jiangqiao, should we take the time to go to Shanghai to see Yang Qu in the past two days?" Yesterday, she gave me a message, saying that a company that made milk tea asked her to sign an endorsement contract, and she asked us to bring a lawyer to help her check it. ”

"She's not that good, can she take the endorsement contract?"

Xiao Ai smiled and replied: "That's why let's go over to help her check it, but it's not impossible, after all, her appearance is passable, I think she has the temperament of a milk tea beauty!" ”

"Come on, just her unreliable appearance! …… Unless there is such a milk tea, it is called unreliable, or it is the merchant's brain! ”

Xiao Ai looked at me, her face became serious, and she said, "You also have to understand her desire to be independent...... This time, she plans to solve the cost of studying in the United States by her own ability. You also know that this is a lot of money, so we will try to support it if we can. ”

I looked at Xiao Ai and replied for a while: "It's not that I'm praising you, your sister-in-law is really becoming more and more competent!" ”

"No way, my mother is not here, of course I, as a sister-in-law, have to worry about her." After a slight pause, Xiao Ai asked me again, "By the way, Jiang Qiao...... You have time to call Mom more, I shouldn't remind you of this...... Now I want to remind you, it only proves that your son is not competent enough. ”

"Yes, yes...... I will keep in mind what my wife says. ”

After I finished speaking, I kept looking at Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai glanced back at me and asked with some dissatisfaction, "Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?" ”

"Is it weird?"

"It's weird!"

I laughed, "Think about it, what you were four years ago, and what you are now." ”

Xiao Ai thought about it very obediently, and then she couldn't help laughing, she replied: "At that time, I was an arrogant flower fairy, in addition to loving beauty, I also loved to go to bars, and I played tricks on you fool...... Now......" she said, turning her head to look at me, and said, "Do you always have to recognize your responsibilities as you grow up?" ”

I sighed: "I never thought you had a girl's heart, you are actually a very smart girl, and you can do many things freely." ”

"You're hurting me, aren't you?"

"No, it's a compliment from the bottom of my heart."

Xiao Ai smiled, obviously in a good mood, because I hadn't seen her smile so comfortably for a long time, so I wanted to protect her even more, so that she and the family we had just formed would no longer be harmed.

Just when I wanted to change the topic, she chased after me and asked, "What do you say about Yang Qu, do you want to bring a lawyer to Shanghai to give her counsel and staff." ”

I thought for a moment and replied, "I've been very busy these two days, why don't you go over and bring someone from the legal department of your Jinding Real Estate." ”

"Okay, then I'll go tomorrow...... If this matter is talked about, then we have to think of a way to help her without hurting her self-esteem. ”

I shook my head: "I don't agree with this, what a girl like her lacks most is frustration, and when appropriate, let her see the good of this society as soon as possible, and save her from always talking about the pursuit of art." ”

"I think you're insinuating ......"

I looked at Xiao Ai and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I really haven't paid attention, in fact, you and Yang Qu are quite similar in nature, and art is like commonplace in your eyes...... But don't you think it's tasteless in your mouth? ”

"You go away, okay?"

Her angry look made me want to laugh, and this kind of trivial chat between us is really rare, which makes us more like a young couple living a married life. I know we're getting into the groove.

The car soon drove to Tulip Road, and I sent Xiao Ai to the downstairs of Huashen International, where we lived, and then said to her: "A friend just asked me out for a few drinks, you go back and rest for a while, you are tired enough in the past few days." ”

Xiao Ai asked vigilantly, "What friend?" ”

"A friend who is a wedding company wants to talk to me about the next quarter."

"Well, don't drink too much, come back early."

I answered, and watched her enter the building. Actually, I told such a lie, firstly, to respect Yu Xin's request; Second, every time I meet Yu Xin, I will inevitably talk about Zhao Mu. Whether it is Xiao Ai or me, Zhao Mu is too sensitive, so not letting Xiao Ai know is also out of a kind of protection.

……

When I drove the car to the "Stone Forest Teahouse", Yu Xin's BMW Z4 was already parked downstairs, and she was sitting on the second floor of the teahouse waiting for me.

In the window, she looked very bad. She's actually quite pitiful, because few people care about her emotions...... For a girl like her, it is already very rare to be able to ignore the material conditions and follow Zhao Mu without hesitation before he succeeds...... So it is conceivable how hard Zhao Mu's behavior hit her.

I went upstairs and sat down across from her, and I asked her with heartfelt concern, "How's it going?" ”

"I've been working in an performing arts group, it's not good, it's not bad, it's just that I feel like life is a lot less passionate."

I nodded, and then, after a moment of silence, asked her again, "What did you just say on the phone that you wanted to borrow money from me?" ”

Yu Xin looked up at me, and only replied after a while: "I took a bar before, borrowed 8o yuan from a loan shark, and now the creditor is urging me to repay the debt, but the bar has not returned to its original value, and the pressure is quite high." ”

"Borrow usury! It's not like your style at all. ”

Yu Xin smiled a little depressedly, and she said, "If it was before, of course I wouldn't have to borrow any loan sharks...... Because there are a lot of rich friends around me. However, since I left the circle, I don't have the ability to make money like before, and my reputation and image have been poor, so people are reluctant to lend me money...... I think I'm ridiculous, I really don't know why I'm the way I am...... Everyone says I have high EQ, hehe, but where is my EQ? …… Forced by loan sharks like a rat crossing the street! ”

I saw Yu Xin's sourness in my eyes, but I understood everything she didn't understand...... Today, most of her work is due to Zhao Mu.

After a sigh, I asked her, "Why do you want to use loan sharks as a bar?" It's a really risky thing. ”

She looked at me and replied, "The bar was opened by a friend of mine, and I used to go there a lot, and I knew that it was a profitable bar, and my friend really had to transfer it because he was going to a foreign exhibition." Of course, I don't want to miss out on this kind of investment that will definitely make money...... However, this loan shark is really scary, and the money made by the bar now is barely enough to pay off the interest. ”

I answered, but I didn't say whether I wanted to lend her 8o yuan to repay the loan shark.

After Yu Xin was silent for a while, she said with a smile full of self-deprecation: "Actually, I have another idea for buying this bar...... Zhao Mu has done so many bad things, if one day he has nothing, he must have a foundation to maintain his life...... Brother Jiangqiao, I'm not afraid that you will say that I am stupid, I just want to wait for him to fall down one day and return to me...... I want him to know that only I, Yu Xin, am the only one in this world who treats him sincerely. ”

"Actually, you can have a better choice......"

Yu Xin interrupted me and replied, "Maybe Zhao Mu and I are the same kind of people...... The more you can't get it, the more you want to stay by your side......" This time, she paused for a long time before she said again: "Maybe it's because I owe him too much in my previous life...... I'm really disappointed in him, but I still can't control myself and want him to go on the right path! ”
