Looking at Jiang Yan's playful and angry appearance in front of her, Lorraine's smile became brighter and brighter. Perhaps because Jiang Yan unconditionally helped him solve a lot of troubles, Lorraine couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart whenever she saw Jiang Yan. On this lonely and lonely winter night, the reunion of the two people seems so romantic.

After a few casual words, the two of them began to eat spicy shabu and drink canned beer. The stall owner of the spicy shabu is also happy to do the business of the two in front of him, and the amount of fish ball skewers and beef ball skewers sold at this time is usually all night.

The two of you say a word, although they haven't seen each other for a long time, they don't have the slightest life.

"Sister Yan, look at the posture you hung up the phone just now, what's wrong? Quarreled with your family? Lorraine took a sip of her beer, "Seriously, Sister Yan, it's a very happy thing to be able to see your parents every day...... Scatter your mind for a while, and I'll send you back. ”

Jiang Yan obviously didn't drink very well, two cans of beer were in her stomach, her pretty little face had already floated a touch of red, sadness and helplessness were revealed from between her beautiful eyebrows, and she sighed deeply: "I don't want to quarrel with my family either...... But, alas, in short, I can't accept that Liu Hao, and my parents are too arbitrary about my emotional affairs. ”

Liu Hao?

Lorraine blinked and thought about it, recalling the guy he met when he was eating with Jiang Yan in a small restaurant, probably the arrogant guy who pretended to be forced to Mount Everest. It seems that the family conditions are good, but the character is too poor, so it is no wonder that Jiang Yan's picky view of mate selection is completely unacceptable to him.

Lorraine shrugged: "That's right, Sister Yan, you're twenty-four or five years old this year, right?" After all, it's a girl's home, and it's inevitable that the family will worry about you. Besides, Sister Yan, who doesn't know the name of your cold police flower, it's basically a high level of difficulty that is difficult to get close to with different surnames. If you're like other normal girls, if you can have a boyfriend by your side, the family will naturally not take it upon themselves to go on a blind date for you. ”

"Hehe, little one, do you think I'm old?" Jiang Yan's words were a little sour, but a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, flickering, "Alas, it's light...... None of you men can be trusted. How can I casually entrust my life to an unreliable man? ”

"Not necessarily, don't generalize." Lorraine patted her chest with a smile, "Am I not just a peerless good man?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Jiang Yan quickly pursed her lips, and the appearance of Qin Wanshu, Song Meiyuan and Lan Lan instantly appeared in her mind, and she glanced at Lorraine: "Just you?" Pull it down! Now that I'm young, I have a lot of beauties around me, and I don't know how much I will spend it in the future, a big carrot, even if I have been single all my life, I will not find a boyfriend who is so insecure as you. ”

Lorraine shouted, "Wronged." ”

Jiang Yan snorted and said, "I didn't wronged you, aren't your two aunts big beauties?" You are not related by blood, I see that the two of them look at you differently, and that Lan Lan's student sister is probably also interesting to you. You, your style of acting is too different, and you are merciful everywhere. As she spoke, Jiang Yan smacked her red and tender lips, squinted her slightly cold eyes and said with a smile: "However, you little guy, as a younger brother, it is more suitable." At least I usually take it out, it's more flattering. Although...... You've got a bad stomach. ”

"Who's got a bad stomach?" Lorraine did not admit it at all, pouting and retorting.

Jiang Yan glanced at him and pulled the topic away: "By the way, little guy, what's wrong with you today?" What about blowing the wind on the street of the night market in the middle of the night? It's been under construction here for a while, I don't believe that as the eldest young master of the Luo's Group, you don't know that there is no entertainment place here, what are you crazy about, sitting on this small cart stall and setting up melancholy? Isn't there your Aunt Qin to accompany you? How? People are looking for a new love, don't want you anymore? Thinking of the slightly lonely back of Lorraine when she just came here, Jiang Yan said coldly, as if she was deliberately stimulating Lorraine, but there was a faint hint of expectation, as if she was expecting, what Aunt Qin was really "looking for a new love".

was picked up by Jiang Yan's words, and Lorraine's sorrowful farewell was hooked out again, and her expression suddenly became a little lonely: "She also went to Yanjing, and in the future, I will really be alone." ”

When Jiang Yan heard this, she felt a little happy in her heart. But thinking of Lorraine's family background, it is rare for his parents to go back to Zhengzhou City once, just like now, they are about to enter the New Year, but Lorraine is alone. In fact, sometimes think about it, a high school student who has just turned eighteen years old, every day he lives alone, goes to school alone, sleeps alone, and at home, he doesn't even have a person to talk to. That's pitiful.

However, with Jiang Yan's understanding of Lorraine, he is a very strong person, and he always looks cynical on the surface every day, but after getting along many times, he found that in fact, Lorraine has been dealing with all kinds of things, some for relatives, some for friends, and some even for a trace of kindness. As for himself, it seems that he has always held an attitude of indifference. This kind of person is generally very tired. It's hard to imagine that a young guy has such an admirable sense of life.

Perhaps it was precisely because she gradually discovered this trait in Lorraine that Jiang Yan's affection for the little guy became deeper and deeper.

"Then your parents, will they come back for the Chinese New Year?" Jiang Yan looked at Lorraine, who suddenly became a little melancholy in front of her, and felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, and asked softly.

Lorraine smiled: "They said they would come back, but I also know very well that the New Year is a great opportunity for market consolidation, and if you miss this opportunity, you may be caught up by others, or even left behind by your opponents in the competition." From the bottom of my heart, I miss them, but I don't want them to delay Yanjing's business because of me. ”

"So...... What are you going to do? ”

Lorraine's eyes were slightly distracted, and the light bulbs on the cart stall emitted a faint yellow light, erasing a trace of loneliness in Lorraine's eyes. Finally, he took a sip of beer, wiped the corners of his mouth, and exhaled a white mist: "Of course, I'll wait for them to come back." As a parent, let them see me, so that they can feel at ease. If you can't spend the Chinese New Year with me, or if I go to Yanjing alone, there is no other use than to make them worry and blame themselves. ”

"Wouldn't that affect Yanjing's business?"

Lorraine suddenly laughed, I don't know if it's an illusion, at this moment, Jiang Yan felt that the little guy in front of her had become a man who had gone through vicissitudes in an instant, and there was a faint trace of indifference and a temperament that seemed to see through the red dust: "Business? When a person lives, it is a love word. And not material. In today's world, everyone is running non-stop for a living, and no one stops to reflect on their own lives. Unknown came to the world, unknown for some red, green and green tickets to run around all his life, and then, unknown and innocent died. A lot of people live too mediocre. In fact, many times, it is the material that controls us, not the material society. Although, the value of material is created by us human beings. Life does not bring, death does not take away, as the only emotional animal in the world, human beings, no matter what matter, regardless of feelings, it is really not as good as the walking dead. ”

Maybe it was the sultry moonlight, coupled with the fact that he was a human being in two lives, and the deep sense of loneliness in Lorraine's heart made him say his attitude towards life for the first time. When ordinary people hear this, they will definitely disdain and say, "What is it?" Pretending. "But if you chew it slowly, you will realize something more or less.

At this time, Jiang Yan was a little distracted, looking at Lorraine's thoughtful and calm appearance, she seemed to notice that Lorraine in front of her was a little unfamiliar. In a trance, she was touched by Lorraine's slightly pessimistic and indifferent remarks......

For a long time, neither of them spoke, silently drinking beer.

Finally, Lorraine broke the silence with a smile first: "However, I will help Luo's Group to gain a firm foothold in Yanjing." I decided, go to Yenching to study at university, my parents have raised me for so many years, I have to repay me well. ”

"Hmm...... Come on. Jiang Yan was stunned, her mouth was poor, she nodded seriously, and said these two words.

"That's right, Sister Yan." The melancholy on Lorraine's previous face was swept away, replaced by a smile as usual, "Recently, our Zhengzhou Municipal Bureau has continued to crack down on those Fengyue project venues and gambling establishments?" ”

Lorraine's thinking jumped a little, Jiang Yan didn't react for a while, and paused a little before returning to the state of a capable female police officer, and thought for a while: "Well, it's still going on." And now that the New Year is approaching, there are more and more people who gather to gamble, and those who have drunk and have nowhere to vent, generally arrange those disgusting Fengyue projects. Therefore, the supervision of these places is still being further strengthened. …… It's just that many places can't be moved. Where some big people support their backs, no one dares to monitor it...... These unspoken rules, Lorraine, you should understand. ”

Jiang Yan's expression was a little tired at this time, obviously a little tired of this kind of routine boring work, and she couldn't cure these phenomena at all, she was just making fun of those small places that were not weathered, and they were all for the citizens to see.

After a pause, Jiang Yan seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned to Lorraine and said, "By the way, I heard that your Luo Group is currently the second largest shareholder of Caesar Palace. Tell me honestly, on the part of the Rockwell Group, has it injected money into those color departments? ”

Lorraine smiled, thinking that the topic was coming, and waved his hand: "Of course not." Let me tell you quietly that the matter of Luo's Group becoming the second largest shareholder of Caesars Palace was planned by me. ”

"What?" Jiang Yan was stunned with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said in some surprise.
