Chapter 64: "Are You Still a Friend?" 】
Yang Wei didn't answer me directly, but walked gently past me, walked to the kitchen door to open the refrigerator, took out a bottle of beer, and looked at me: "Do you want to drink?" ”
This posture, that is called a calm! It was as if I was a guest in her own home.
I took the beer wordlessly, and Yang Weicai smiled: "Why do you see my expression as if you have seen a ghost...... Am I that scary? ”
I smiled wryly: "Shouldn't I be surprised that you appeared in my house out of thin air?" I pondered for a moment, looked at the clock again, and suddenly said, "What about my two friends at home?" Don't you ......?"
"Hey!" Yang smiled: "Don't think nonsense...... I'm not a kidnapper! ”
Then she slowly walked up to me, pulled me to sit down on the sofa, picked up the beer bottle in my hand and took a sip of it herself, and sighed: "Actually, I just came to see you and talk to you, it's nothing." ”
"What you call 'nothing'...... Is it to sneak into my house? I couldn't help but taunt her.
Yang Weishen did not change at all: "Yes, I'm just coming in to drink something and rest." Anyway, there's no one at home, do you want me to stand downstairs and wait? ”
"Oh my God." I smiled bitterly and touched my nose: "If I didn't know you, I would almost think that you were one of those brutes on an island country, and say that aggression is entering the ......"
After making sure that Yang Wei was indeed not malicious, I softened my tone a little and looked at this woman: "I remember the last time we met, you said that we might not meet again, right?" ”
Yang Wei was silent for a while, her eyes were a little melancholy, and she picked up the beer and took a big sip, and then she let out a long breath: "The world is impermanent...... Things are always going to change. She smiled, then shook her head and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about lightheartedness...... I'm here to do something...... Now that the matter is almost done, I suddenly feel a little ...... in my heart Well, it's a little unpleasant, and I'd love to find a friend for a drink and a chat. ”
Then she stared at me with her upside-down eyes, and lightly opened her lips: "We are friends...... Right? ”
I don't know why, staring at her eyes, I suddenly felt a little dry...... I can't help but think back to that night, at the bottom of the hillside, the two of us hugged each other, she held my head, and the two of us looked at the cold stars together...... And at this moment, Yang Wei's eyes were brighter than the cold stars that night!
Subconsciously picked up the beer bottle on the table, took a big sip, and only after drinking it did he react, this beer bottle was drunk by Yang Wei...... I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and then looked at Yang Wei, her delicate cheeks were a little flushed, and she was looking at me with a strange gaze.
"Well, we're friends." I sighed. Then I cautiously said, "But next time you come to me, don't use this method to enter my house." There is a thing in the world called a mobile phone! There's also something called a doorbell! ok? ”
Yang pursed his lips and smiled, and then suddenly sighed again.
I whispered, "Why aren't you happy?" ”
"Well, this time, things in China are not going well." Yang Wei said lightly, but she didn't seem to want to talk about it more, and then smiled: "It's you, I didn't expect your life to be good...... Are the two girls in your family your girlfriends? ”
"Of course not......," I muttered, but I replied honestly, "One of them is my girlfriend, and the other is ...... It's a friend of mine who lives here. ”
I caught that when I said the word "girlfriend", a strange look flashed in Yang Wei's eyes, but then she covered it up well.
"Actually, I saw you a little bit ago." I said cautiously.
"Well, it's at that charity auction, right?" Yang Wei grinned: "I saw you too." ”
"Oh?"
"Hmm." Yang smiled a little strangely: "I promise that when I saw you, you didn't know it yourself...... I was already watching you secretly when you walked into the women's restroom with that beautiful female executive at the casino. ”
I immediately blushed a little, but Yang Wei took a sip of beer and said with a faint smile: "You have been in the bathroom for more than half an hour...... Then a man and a woman entered...... her eyes glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, and teased: "I really don't know, when did you like this tone too?" Or has the country opened up to such a point? ”
I was speechless and was about to explain, but Yang Wei waved his hand: "Okay, I don't want to interfere in your private affairs...... Hehe, just thought it was funny because you don't look like the kind of ...... who likes to do things in the women's restroom."
I coughed vigorously and said, "Of course I'm not!" What happened that day...... Just a coincidence, an accident. ”
Yang Wei didn't seem to have any intention of dwelling on this topic, so she immediately changed the topic, and this time her tone was less ridiculous: "By the way, I didn't expect it...... You left Ye Huan, and finally walked into this circle. ”
"What?"
"I mean that Miss Fang Nan." Yang Wei's tone was a little deep: "Chen Yang, you may not know the background behind Fang Nan...... But getting too close to her may not be a good thing for you...... I'm serious. This circle is too complicated, and the water is too deep, I'm afraid it's not for you. She shrugged her shoulders: "Of course, this is just a kind suggestion as a friend, you don't have to worry about it." ”
"Yang Wei ......" I sighed: "Actually, I have one thing that I want to ask you...... But I think it's a bit disrespectful to you to say that......"
"You want to ask me about Ye Huan?" She smiled.
"Yes!" I sat up straight and looked her in the eye: "There was an attack that night, and then Brother Huan's business plan was canceled, and Brother Huan was in a very difficult situation...... These things...... You ......"
She immediately interrupted me and said directly, "Are you trying to ask me, are these the yīn schemes I made up in the first place?" The smile on her face was a little mocking, a little gloomy.
I don't know why, instinctively, when I saw the expression on her face, I immediately regretted it, and even felt a little ashamed because I doubted her!
"Chen Yang ......" Yang Wei hesitated: "What I want to say to you is ...... In this world, many things are very complicated...... It's not that simple! Maybe in your circle of life, things are all simple, either black or white, right or wrong...... But the world I live in is completely different! ”
"But I need an explanation." I stared at her and didn't budge: "I don't want myself to doubt you...... Because if I doubt you, I can't keep you as a friend! ”
In Yang Wei's eyes, at that moment, a trace of excitement actually flashed, but she once again hid it well - this woman's ability to control and hide her emotions is simply amazing!
"Well......" she thought for a moment, and then said in a slow but very sincere tone, "Well, I can tell you a little bit...... But just from the position of a 'friend'! ”
Then she slowly stood up and walked to the window, with her back to me, as if looking at the lights outside the window: "That time Ye Huan and our family's business was far more complicated than you imagined, a lot...... You know, the organization behind Ye Huan is very large, Ye Huan himself is just an agent on the table, and such an agent, in his organization, is not only Ye Huan. Internally, it is said that their organization is not united. Although our family has always run casinos in the United States, we don't care about the cooperation of some background forces...... But considering that the organization behind Ye Huan is currently very unstable, I firmly oppose that business cooperation. In my opinion, money needs to be earned, but I don't want to involve my family in the organizational struggle behind Ye Huan. We don't have to get involved in this kind of thing. So I was adamantly against it, but unfortunately, in my family, I don't have too many supporters, and most of them are attracted by the huge benefits that may be obtained. As for the risks...... Not too many people can face it squarely. And they've always wanted to get along with China, which is an opportunity for us to expand our business in East Asia. ”
Then her tone became a little lighter: "I can admit to you that during my time in China, the opposition forces behind Ye Huan's organization had contact with me...... The people I came into contact with, you already know...... It's Zhou Jing! ”
I stood up and stared at Yang Wei with both eyes!
Yang Wei glanced back at me, her eyes were a little helpless, and a little pleading, and said softly: "Don't worry, listen to me, is it okay?" ”
Sighing, she continued: "Zhou Jing said that he wants to cooperate with me, and I can't tell you the specific details of the cooperation...... It's a family business secret, and I have no right to tell you...... But what I can tell you is that I rejected him! She stared into my eyes and said, "Frankly speaking, I am not such a noble person, in our circle, the emphasis is on deceit, and the reason why I refuse him is not because I am willing to cooperate with Ye Huan...... It's that I can see that he just wants to use us as a means to attack Ye Huan, and as me, even if I want to destroy the business with Ye Huan, I also want to find a way through other channels...... I'll be simple......" she said very seriously.
"From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to work with this organization, I don't want to have any contact with this organization...... Whether it is Ye Huan's side or Zhou Jing's side...... Neither of them, I don't want to work with them! ”
My face softened a little.
Then Yang Wei said slowly: "Chen Yang, I am now your friend of mine...... I don't have many friends, very few, and you're one of them. So I don't want to lie to you...... Before that night, I had already noticed that someone was trying to do something to me! ”
"Oh?" My eyes changed slightly, staring at Yang Wei.
"Don't stare at me like that." Yang Wei's tone was a little unhappy: "I did sense that someone wanted to do something to me...... But Zhou Jing, they also underestimate me too much! Who am I, Yang Wei? Hum...... If our family can stand tall in a place like Las Vegas, this little scene, will I put it in my eyes? She sighed that night...... "Actually, before that night, I noticed in China that someone was spying on me. Those people are not Ye Huan's subordinates, because Ye Huan would not make such a surveillance move against me, so I am sure that someone wants to do something to me...... That night in the casino, I deliberately left my bodyguards behind and drove out alone, just to give them a chance to do it! ”
I didn't speak, just looked at Yang Wei with an expressionless face.
Yang smiled, her smile was a little helpless, a little complicated and deep, and turned to look into my eyes: "However, I didn't expect you to be downstairs...... As for me letting you get in the car, it was actually a complete accident, a small accident. I don't deny that at first I had a little intention of taking advantage of you. At least you are Ye Huan's subordinate, I can make Ye Huan believe that I was attacked by others. ”
"Go on." I said lightly.
"You know what happened next." Yang smiled and said, "However, I have no intention of harming you...... You know what? That night, I was surrounded by three of my henchmen, all of whom were top-notch, and I wasn't afraid of being attacked. The only thing I didn't expect was ...... You would have been so desperate to save me. And you were seriously injured. ”
I suddenly sneered and said angrily, "Ha! Ha ha!! Turns out I'm a fool!! Even if I hadn't dragged you down the hill that day, you wouldn't have been fine, would you? There wouldn't be any danger, would it?! It's me, stupid enough to drag you down the hill, thinking I'm saving you! ”
Yang Wei had some apologies in her eyes, and said softly: "I really didn't mean to mock you, in fact, I am still very grateful to you in my heart." ”
"Thanks......" I said "hey" and shook my head.
Yang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Whether you believe it or not...... That's the way it is...... As for Ye Huan's later loss of power in his organization, these consequences were not what I expected...... And ......"
Her tone suddenly changed, and a hint of indifference flashed in her eyes: "And, even if I knew in advance that there would be such a result, I would still do it!" I have to think about my family's interests! Ye Huan has nothing to do with me, I don't have to make any sacrifices for him! ”
I'm speechless......
I felt like I had nothing to say.
Even, I don't think I have the slightest reason to blame Yang Wei!
Was she wrong?
No!
From her standpoint, everything she does is for the benefit of her own family. There is no despicable or shameless statement about her methods. At best, it can only be regarded as a calculation. As for whether Brother Huan will have anything to lose because of this...... To be honest, from Yang Wei's standpoint, she doesn't have to think about these at all.
I didn't speak, but Yang Wei continued: "After the incident, my family reacted immediately...... As a representative of my family, I was attacked in the country, and I had long been aware that someone was spying on me, and I had been prepared for a long time, and they wanted to yīn me, hmph, wouldn't I yīn them? I prepared some things early and had some evidence, and those evidences made the family believe that it was the opposition forces in the organization behind Ye Huan who attacked me...... Under such circumstances, the family is finally willing to seriously consider whether this business cooperation is safe. In the end, the decision was made to make fun of the business cooperation! ”
She sighed: "As for Ye Huan...... I didn't think about harming him. I didn't work with Zhou Jing...... If I cooperate with Zhou Jing, then I tell you, Ye Huan's fate will definitely be ten times worse than now, a hundred times! ”
I was silent for a long time before I sighed and was expressionless: "Okay, I admit that what you said is the truth, and it makes sense...... You didn't target Brother Huan, and you didn't mean to harm him...... But the fact is that Brother Huan is losing power now, but it's because of you! I'm not wrong, right? ”
Yang Wei sneered, her tone was a little angry: "Chen Yang! Can you please not be so naïve? In our circle, it's either you die or I live! We can only try to keep the interests of our own side! As for others...... Who cares? In this incident, Ye Huan's loss of power is not to blame others, I said, I have nothing to do with him, I have no friendship! I don't have to think about it for his benefit! There is no need to sacrifice my own family interests for his benefit! Then her tone became a little colder: "Don't say that I didn't mean to hurt him...... That's the situation where I don't need to do it at all! If it is necessary, I must harm Ye Huan...... For the sake of my family, I will not hesitate to do so! ”
I was speechless again.
Intellectually, I know that what Yang Wei said is not wrong at all! Absolutely!!
But emotionally, Brother Huan is my eldest brother, my eldest brother, my boss, and even like my father!
Am I likely to be indifferent?
After thinking for a while, I said with difficulty: "But...... You could have avoided a sneak attack, but you let it happen on purpose! ”
"I'm for the family." Yang Wei was very calm, and then she whispered: "Chen Yang...... That night, the night we both went down the hillside, all the other things I said were not false! I'm also true now when you're my friend! Otherwise, I wouldn't have to talk to you about that today. ”
"Okay." I sighed and looked at Yang Wei: "You took advantage of me, I'm not angry." It's true...... I don't have to worry about these things with you...... But, Yang Wei, you should know what position Brother Huan has in my heart! ”
"I know." Yang sighed slightly.
I struggled in my heart, but I still gritted my teeth and said, "So, I don't know if I can continue to treat you as a friend now." ”
Yang Wei's eyes darkened suddenly, I looked at her, and slowly shook my head: "You know what? Actually, I was very suspicious of you later in the hospital...... It all happened so coincidentally! Although I don't know much about yīn tricks, I do understand one thing...... Whoever is the ultimate beneficiary will be the most suspicious! I looked her in the eye: "But I don't want to doubt you...... Even every time I think about these things, I force myself to keep thinking about them! I don't want to doubt you, Yang Wei! ”
"I said, I didn't mean to target Ye Huan." Yang sighed slightly.
"I understand." I nodded: "In your position, you are doing the right thing." ”
We looked at each other in silence for a while, the atmosphere was a little solemn, and neither of us spoke.
Yang Wei walked over, picked up the beer on the table, craned her neck, and poured all the wine in the bottle in one go, she drank it a little too fast, so that she choked a little, gasped for a few breaths, and had a faint red cháo on her face, and then seemed to smile.
"Chen Yang, so now, are we still friends?" Her eyes were so bright that I didn't dare to look at them......
Then, she put down the bottle, but she didn't want to listen to my answer at all, and strode to the door, before going out, she suddenly turned around, as if smiling: "By the way, your girlfriend and the other girl are out shopping now, and my men follow them, and they will be back in about twenty minutes." I made sure they weren't at home before I dared to come up to you. ”
I opened my lips as if I wanted to say something, but unfortunately I didn't.
Yang Wei noticed my expression, and she sighed: "Chen Yang, take care...... You're a strange person, you're hot-blooded, you're impulsive, you're very righteous...... Even a little simple, these are the things I envy about you, because in my position, I will never be able to do what you are. ”
Her eyes were full of bitterness: "...... Maybe...... When I have time, I'll come to you for drinks and talk. She looked me in the eye: "I don't have many friends, you will always be one of them!" As for what you think of me...... I don't care! ”
After saying that, she left without looking back.
I looked at the empty doorway, but there was always something in my heart that was tangled back and forth......
There seemed to be something blocked in my heart, a knot that I couldn't untie was tormenting me.
I sat down slowly, looking at the empty beer bottle on the table, a little dazed.
Yang Wei came and went suddenly, she was like a mysterious phantom, back and forth, but only such an empty beer bottle was left......
On the bottle, there seemed to be a faint trace of her lip gloss, and I stared at it with some distraction, but I thought about her words repeatedly......
We...... Still is...... Friends?
