The place where Ye Jianbai was held was a temporary detention center in the suburbs, and because the final execution had not yet been carried out, it was not completely forbidden for the family members to visit them for a short time.

Ning Zhiyuan got out of the car, stood behind Ye Ci, reached out and patted her shoulder, telling her not to be afraid.

Ye Ci nodded and said thank you, opened the door and entered the meeting room, and sat down quietly in front of the huge glass dialogue window.

Ye Jianbai has been there at this time, I don't know how long he has been waiting.

Looking up at Ye Ci, he showed that he was extremely old and depressed, his glasses were half broken, and he asked, "How is your mother?"

Because of his question, Ye Ci felt an irresistible sourness rise in his heart, lowered his head and choked his throat, took a deep breath, and told him: "The operation is done, but I haven't recovered my consciousness yet, and in the future, I don't know if I will wake up." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head again, looked at his clenched hands, and asked softly, "Dad, Chen Miao is no longer there." Where did you put the money that the court said?"

Ye Jianbai lowered his eyes and didn't look at her, and after being silent for a long time, he asked her: "Why, the procuratorate also found you?" ”

Ye Ci shouted helplessly: "Dad, why are you still hiding it now." You can't escape your sins, and if you don't even tell where the last money goes, then all the things that our family and grandfather left to our mother will be gone. Our home is really going to be gone."

Ye Jianbai replied to her with a wry smile: "Isn't this fate?"

Ye Ci looked at her father, who was completely different from the past, tears welled up in her eyes, and she asked: "No, this is not fate, this is selfishness!" Dad, I don't know why you won't tell where the money is going. But I want to ask why you never thought about me and my mom in the first place. Even if you don't love your mother anymore, is your life in the past few decades fake? Were the days when you held me as a kid all fake? Although I know that I have not been coquettish like other children since I was a child, and I am short-lived, but I am also your daughter after all, what happened like this, have you thought about my future life? My mother is sick, my grandmother is sick, and if they take the house away, will I go to the street to beg? Dad, why don't you think about me and Mommy?"

Ye Jianbai sat in place, his eyes had already begun to drift, and he replied with a sigh: "Ye Ye, you are still young, and there are many sinister things in this society, which you never know." Dad did something wrong, but there's no way back for me. Because there are some things, once you step in, you can't go out innocently. There's no way around having things confiscated, but it's better to have no money, and you and your mother's lives are involved."

Ye Ci was stunned for a while, and then he seemed to be reminiscing about something, and asked slowly: "My life and my mother's life?" Dad, what are you talking about, I don't understand".

The police officer behind him had already walked up by this time and whispered a reminder that there was not much time left in the conversation.

Ye Jianbai raised his head, took a deep breath, and replied, "You don't need to understand. Come over tomorrow, I have some final things to tell you."

After saying that, he got up and walked into the house without looking back.

Ye Ci looked at Ye Jianbai's back as he turned away, his hands trembled slightly, and the doubts, indignation, and sourness in his heart were intertwined for a while.

She didn't understand the meaning of what Ye Jianbai said just now, but she felt that she seemed to understand something. It's like a dot that seems to be nothing, and if you grab it, you can lift the whole thing behind it. But you can't catch it, and you'll end up looking for it aimlessly.

The police officer outside the door had come in at some point, patting Ye Ci on the shoulder, signaling that her time was up, and the people outside were still waiting.

Ye Ci got up and thanked him, turned around and walked outside.

Ning Zhiyuan was originally looking at his mobile phone under the tree on the side, but when he saw Ye Ci coming out, he immediately trotted over and asked, "How is it?" ”

Ye Ci looked at him and shook his head, not knowing how to speak for a while.

When I looked up and saw a familiar figure walking by, I couldn't help but stop. I thought the man was familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.

Ning Zhiyuan saw her stop, and also glanced at her gaze, and then asked in a deep voice: "Isn't that Xiaoyun's girlfriend, what's her name, Li Xia?" Why is she here? ”

Ye Ci only remembered this woman at this time, sighed and walked to the car, and said, "Maybe there is something." Uncle Ning, please send me home, I want to go back to take a nap first, and report to the museum in the afternoon."

Ning Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, opened the car door and went in, turned around and asked, "Report today?" Do you want me to talk to your leader and postpone it for a few days? There's a lot going on at home after all."

Ye Ci shook his head and declined: "No need, thank you Uncle Ning." Although there are many things at home, if you think about it carefully, those are actually not things that I can control. The only thing I can do now is to work as hard as I can, and when I get paid, I won't be so passive, at least I can have some financial resources to support myself."

Ning Zhiyuan replied "eh", and opened his mouth to sue her, if there is anything, he will come to him, whether it is economic or other requirements, he will do his best to help her.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he looked in the rearview mirror and Ye Ci looked out the window without saying a word, and immediately swallowed the words back.

He knew that Ye Ci's temperament was the same as Yin Li's, and when he said these words at this time, she might not only not feel happy, but would also feel humiliated. After all, in the end, I'm just an outsider.

The date on which Ye Ci went to the museum to report was set a month ago.

At this moment, after she finished taking a nap, she had just locked the door from the house and came out, and when she looked up, she saw Yue Yun not far away.

Yue Yun drove Ning Zhiyuan's car, half leaning under the sycamore tree outside her yard. Looking down at the phone in his hand, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Some of the big girls passing by turned their heads and glanced at him occasionally, with a shallow girlish spring in their eyes.

Ye Ci walked up and asked, "Are you waiting for me?" ”

Yue Yun saw someone coming out at this time, and immediately nodded and replied: "Well, my grandfather went to the hospital, and my uncle was called back to Beiyi." Today I will send you there".

Ye Ci did not refuse, nodded and said thank you.

Got into the car and asked, "Why does your bus company often take your vacation without having to be deducted from your salary?" ”

Yue Yun glanced at her with some amusement and replied, "Me? Don't you always say I'm not serious? I'm actually a half-slipper, and I'm looking for a friend to replace my class, so don't you come to our company to report me."

Ye Ci listened to his words, and also smiled faintly, and replied to him: "How come, it's just that you often come over to help me like this, I always feel a little indebted."

These words were polite, but there was a little prickly scratching in Yue Yun's ears.

Of course, he hoped that he could become the person that Ye Ci would rely on. But he also knew that Ye Ci had a wall in his heart, and it was not easy for her to rely on herself in a down-to-earth manner and confidently instruct him to do this and that. At least not yet.

Moreover, Yue Yun has never really pursued girls, and Ye Ci is a nerd again, the two of them are together, like a cat and mouse, one can't speak, the other can't understand, and there is no interest at all.

Fortunately, Yue Yun is not an impatient person.

He pulled into the back door of the museum and parked in the open space in front of the restoration team building.

met Li Xia head-on, and opened his mouth to say hello.

Li Xia seemed to be a little surprised when she saw them, looked at the person in front of her and asked, "Yue Yun, why are you here?" ”

Yue Yun waved his hand and told her: "I sent Ye Ci over, she will report today."

Li Xia frowned slightly, looked at Ye Ci in front of her and asked, "Report?" Are you also from the repair team? ”

Ye Ci nodded, stretched out his hand and replied: "Yes, I am Ye Ci from the porcelain group, hello."

Li Xia stretched out her hand and opened her mouth to introduce a sentence, but she didn't see the softness of Yue Yun in her eyes, and replied lightly: "Hello, I am also a newcomer who joined this year, and there is no formal grouping yet, I am Li Xia."

As soon as the two finished introducing themselves, a pot-bellied man came out of the office building behind, looked at them and waved and shouted: "Hey Xiaoye Xiaoli, you came just in time, your team leader has arrived, come with me."

When Ye Ci heard this, he immediately walked towards the office building.

Li Xia didn't follow, but turned back to Yue Yun and said, "Let's have a meal together in the evening."

Yue Yun was watching Ye Ci enter the office building this time, and when he heard Li Xia's question, he shook his head and refused: "No, I changed shifts with others, and I have to go to work at night." By the way, how did you get to work at the museum? ”

Li Xia shrugged her shoulders and replied: "I am studying art myself, why can't I come to the museum."

Yue Yun didn't want to raise the bar with her, shook his head and smiled: "Okay, you can just do your own work." Come in, I'll wait here for her to come out."

Li Xia didn't move, looked at Yue Yun's back as she walked towards the car, and asked softly, "Yue Yun, do you like this girl?" ”

Yue Yun stopped abruptly, was silent for a while, and replied calmly: "Yes, I like her." Li Xia, in the group in the future, please help me take care of her more."

Li Xia looked at Yue Yun walking into the car in front of her, and laughed like this for a while.

She was abroad, and she had imagined the scene of Yue Yun breaking up with herself countless times. But she didn't expect that their reality was such a breakup, not to mention a breakup. It's like their relationship is just a love affair that isn't in love.

It's ridiculous, and it's worthless.

Raising her head and taking a deep breath, Li Xia packed up her feelings. Turning around and walking towards the office building, his fingers clenched tightly, like a pair of inseparable vines, burning with inexplicable anger.

She told herself that she would not give up, because she knew that Yue Yun had something for her that she couldn't let go.
