Next Chapter

At half past seven in the morning, Cheng Yi got up. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

After washing up, I went out and saw my roommate Chen Xiaoyue sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking in a trance.

Cheng Yi was surprised: "Why are you still at home and don't go to work?" Pointing to the wall clock on the wall, he reminded her, "It's seven-forty." ”

Chen Xiaoyue didn't seem to hear it, and was still stunned.

Cheng Yi frowned, walked over and put his hand on her shoulder, Chen Xiaoyue suddenly had a thrill and slammed her hand off.

Crack, crisp sound.

A patch of red immediately appeared on the back of Cheng Yi's white hand.

This sound woke up Chen Xiaoyue, she suddenly looked at Cheng Yi and asked, "Xiaoyi, you called me, what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Yi withdrew his hand and reminded her again: "You're almost late." ”

Chen Xiaoyue turned her head and shouted, "Wow, really! It's over, I'm going to be lateβ€”" She got up in a hurry, and as she walked, her left foot mixed with her right, and she threw herself forward, "Ah! ”

Instead of falling, she fell into an embrace with the smell of cold incense. Cheng Yi helped her, Chen Xiaoyue smiled embarrassedly, hugged her and rushed to the room.

Cheng Yi was behind her, his eyes moving slightly. Looking down at his fingers, there was a little purple powder on his fingertips, which was very shallow, which was stained from Chen Xiaoyue's body.

When he was just helping people, Cheng Yi noticed that Chen Xiaoyue's body temperature was frighteningly low.

There is no air conditioning in the living room, and the climate in May is not so cold that even the clothes are damp and cold.

The wall clock on the wall turns five times in minutes.

Chen Xiaoyue ran out with a wet face, Cheng Yi handed her a tissue, Chen Xiaoyue asked while wiping, "Why are you so early today?" ”

Cheng Yi's last job was a bar bartender, she just quit her job three days ago, Chen Xiaoyue has known her for 3 years, and this is the 15th time she has changed jobs. In almost every job, Cheng Yi has been doing it for less than three months.

"Today the 10th."

"Oh." Chen Xiaoyue showed a trace of sympathy, and said to her earnestly: "If you have to endure hardship, you will become a master, and you are one step away from being a master." ”

Cheng Yi was expressionless, and pointed to the wall on the left: "You still have 10 minutes." ”

"Wow!" Chen Xiaoyue glanced at the wall clock, as if she had to run away when she saw a ghost, "Ah, Xiaoyi, hurry up, I need your drag racing skills today!" ”

The wiped paper towel was casually thrown on the coffee table in the living room, and Cheng Yi picked it up and threw it into the trash can on the side.

The trash can seemed to move an inch, Cheng Yi squinted his eyes, and came again.

Chen Xiaoyue shouted outside: "Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi!" ”

"Here we are." Cheng Yi pretended not to see anything, got up and went out.

When the door was closed, her hand deliberately paused, and in the empty living room, the trash can moved itself to the right and then leaned forward, poured, and spilled crumbs and tissues on the floor.

was patted on the shoulder, it was Chen Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyi, what are you doing?" ”

Cheng Yi locked the door, "It's nothing, let's go, don't be really late." ”

"Oh, hee-hee, Xiaoyi, I'm looking at you today."

"yes, I know."

On the road, the fifteen-minute journey was compressed to eight minutes by Cheng Yi, Chen Xiaoyue happily got off the car and waved goodbye: "Thank you, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye."

Chen Xiaoyue's back looked cheerful and excited. She has been in this state for the past half month, and she is getting happier day by day. This is a good thing, much better than the tragic situation of her falling out of love half a month ago.

The white fingers on the steering wheel tapped, and Cheng Yi felt the need to talk to Chen Xiaoyue about the extra thing at home.

It's good to be happy, but it's not good to indulge in it and hurt your body.

Cheng Yi reversed handsomely, turned around, and the white Audi drew a neat semicircle and drove forward smoothly.

***

It took an hour and twenty minutes to get from the rented community to the Cheng family's mansion, and it took Cheng Yi fifty-five minutes to reach the door.

In front of the gate of Cheng's house, the old-fashioned iron fence is horizontal in front of the car.

Cheng Yi pressed the horn, and the doorman came out to see who it was, so he opened the door unhurriedly.

Parking to a secluded corner, Cheng Yi got out of the car and handed the key to the Cheng family maid who had been waiting on the side for a long time. The maid would drive the car out and park in the shade in front of the gate, then sit in the car and wait for her to come out.

It's always the rule.

Cheng Yi walked towards the hall without squinting, passing by the small garden, he caught a glimpse of an orange-red patch on a green twig. It was the pomegranate flower, the flower god of May, the favorite flower of Mrs. Cheng's family.

It is also the flower species that Cheng Yi's mother hates the most.

The layout of the hall is open and bright, and the ground is as smooth as a mirror, just like the Cheng family's high-profile and low-key style.

The Cheng family was a famous family in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and then suffered some hardships due to political turmoil, but fortunately, the descendants of the rich family were angry, and now the world is really divided into yin and yang, and the yang world has established an alliance headed by ghost collectors and other soul killers, and the Cheng family has not lost the confidence of the big family, and it has a bit of prestige in the alliance.

Cheng Yi sat on the sofa, waiting for the person to come.

Two minutes later, a thin old man came out of the side of the hall and saw Cheng Yi bending slightly to show respect: "Fourth Miss." ”

"Steward Xu." Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows, why did he come.

Steward Xu seemed to guess the question in her heart, and bent down and said, "The eldest young master is in a meeting." ”

The meeting was held early in the morning, heh, her eldest brother is really dedicated.

"Big brother is really hard." Cheng Yi praised casually, his apricot eyes rolled slightly, "That ......"

Steward Xu smiled: "Fourth Miss hasn't eaten so early, why don't I ask someone to prepare some delicious side dishes, and Miss Fourth will wait while eating?" ”

Cheng Yi sneered in his heart, what does Cheng Jiale want to do, to embarrass her?

The Cheng family has given her less insults over the years? What kind of person is she, how can she not survive.

"No, just give me a glass of water."

Steward Xu bowed: "Okay, Fourth Miss, wait a minute." ”

"Hmm."

It is estimated that it will be noon, and Cheng Yi regrets that he didn't eat something in the morning and came back.

On the 10th, the day of withdrawing money once a month, she came early in the hope that she could end it early, and she didn't want to stay for a second.

But every time she couldn't get her wish, Cheng Jiale would always find a way to delay her reaching out for money.

How long will he delay this time......

There was a vibration in the bag, Cheng Yi took out his mobile phone and saw Chen Xiaoyue's number, raised his eyebrows, and connected.

"Hey."

It was a little noisy, and a female voice shouted urgently: "Hey, you are Chen Xiaoyue's family, right?" Come on, Xiaoyue, she's fainted! ”

Faint. Cheng Yi's fingers tightened, and he immediately got up and went out, "What happened, how could she faint?" ”

"I didn't know it, but suddenly I collapsed, and my face was as white as a ghost...... Oops, we called an ambulance, you hurry to the hospital! ”

"Okay, tell me the location of the hospital."

"Yes......"

Steward Xu came in with a tray, and when he saw Cheng Yi walking out, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Fourth Miss......"

"I'm in a hurry, Cheng Jia...... Big brother, tell him, I'll come back later. ”

The tall figure walked briskly across the stone road, out of the iron fence gate, and roared away after getting into the car.
