"Mom, we saw Aunt Lu when we set off firecrackers just now." As soon as Jiang Zuoyi entered the door with his two children, Ye Zi yelled at me.

"Mom saw it all upstairs. Did Ye Zi and Xiao Ling invite Aunt Lu to set off firecrackers with you? ”

I drove the two imps into the bathroom, tsk, the smell of gunpowder.

"No, my godfather said, don't let me always play with Aunt Lu." Jiang Ling handed the towel that wiped his hands to Ye Zi, grabbed the apple on the table and nibbled on it.

I paused, and went out to look at Jiang Zuoyi, who was changing clothes. Lower your voice, I said what do you mean.

"Nothing. Children are too easy to trust others, so it's better to be a little more vigilant. ”

"Are you overthinking? Isn't it clear what Zhao Xin said last time? She has regrets and guilt for her children, so she shows her love for children beyond ordinary people. It's also reasonable—"

"Reasonable fart, your son is gone, come and like my family? What's the difference between me and going to rob someone else's wife when I fall out of love.

People who have been traumatized in their hearts are really prone to extremism, whether they are friends or foes, but just a thought. You Shu Lan is also an executioner who has dyed a few lives, don't be able to see anything. ”

Jiang Zuoyi is messing around, but the truth makes me speechless.

I said forget it, anyway, no one can guess who is Zhaoxin. As long as I can be trusted at work, I don't need to keep my face hot to have a personal relationship with her.

However, during the Chinese New Year, she didn't go home to see her relatives, and it was too bleak to go shopping and exercising alone.

Later, I thought about it, because I felt that even if I invited Lu Zhaoxin to come over and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with us, she might not be willing. Either you can send her a plate after ordering dumplings.

I slept in the afternoon and woke up to see Jiang Zuoyi crying while chopping onions in the kitchen.

I said I'll go to the company, you chop slowly, and I'll help you when I come back in the evening.

"It's still cold on such a cold day, what are you doing in the company?"

I whispered, "I forgot the New Year's red envelope for the two little ghosts in my office drawer." It's just a few steps, and I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

I can trust Jiang Zuoyi's cooking skills, and I can trust my own destructive power. You know, as a woman who has never been able to get a dumpling out of the pot completely in her life. Every time, I use the quick-frozen dumplings in the supermarket to fool Ye Jinliang-

Ye Jinliang......

At the age of thirty, he Chinese New Year's Eve be alone, how ..... he survive?

I left the man I had promised to accompany with my life in a lonely despair.

When I walked into the company building, I happened to bump into Du Chenfeng who was going out.

"Shu Lan, why are you here? I'm still wondering if I'm going to tell you today, or if I'll wait until the new year turns—"

I said I heard Zhao Xin say that you are working overtime here, and it is hard work. How so? Did you find out anything?

"Come up with me, I'm locked in the safe."

Du Chenfeng took me into the financial room and asked the cashier who was packing up to open the box.

"What is this?" I glanced at a bill that Du Chenfeng showed me.

"A bill of exchange for 3.8 million?" I looked at it in my hand and I said what's going on? Our company will never accept corporate bills, which company issued it? Turnaround endorsements are longer than over-the-knee socks!

"This ticket is fake." Du Chenfeng said: "I have asked someone to verify the guarantee, and the expiration date in Japan was at the end of last year, but it was forcibly revised to February. Among them, it was endorsed twice and could not be discounted. So stay in the account, and before the annual review is admitted, no one will find out that it has been stolen. ”

I said what you mean is that Song Jia got a fake corporate bill. And the real one may have been secretly stamped with the company's seal by her, and then endorsed it for herself to withdraw?

"The rest of the matter is the work of the police, and I can only say that from me, the money order is indeed fake."

I said you should quickly call up the accounts and show me, I want to know who made this money order.

Du Chenfeng told me that it was a lump sum payment, and according to strict laws and regulations, this operation is generally not allowed.

"So what do you mean, the regulatory department is not effective, allowing Song Jia to take advantage of the loophole?"

Du Chenfeng nodded and suggested that I call the police to deal with it after the year.

I said I know, it's best to explain this matter to Ye Jinliang.

More than 3 million is not a small amount, who gave the right to accept such a large amount of corporate bills in the first place?

"Shu Lan, do you want to talk to me about something?"

I didn't expect Ye Jinliang to be in the company, but I thought about it again, too, otherwise where would he go.

deliberately did not adjust the atmosphere to the sad urge, and I had a businesslike face. Said that the project money signed with Tengwei Company half a year ago was agreed by them to use the enterprise? Is it a six-month billing period, or is it paid by a third-party subsidiary?

"Now Chen Feng has found out that this bill of exchange is fake at all, and it was stolen and taken away."

"This is what I agree," Ye Jinliang replied, "At that time, I went to the prison to discuss with my father. This money was the original ...... How to say it. After the blasting accident, the company paid tens of millions of compensation. A lot of the items in hand are eaten and released.

Tengwei company also has a number of projects under construction in our hands, but they have not urged the work to fight back, mainly because the boss He Wei has some friendship with our father, and he can't bear to fall into the ground.

The project continues to this day, and people suddenly proposed to transfer it with an endorsed corporate bill, and we are really embarrassed to refute it. ”

I still have some impressions of what Ye Jinliang said. After all, in the past few years of tight performance, former customers and suppliers have been eager to avoid it, let alone collect bills of exchange, and no matter how difficult it is, they don't even have to collect white slips.

Everyone understands financial risks, but sometimes you have to get lucky.

What's more, the current situation shows that there are people who are guarding and stealing, and they can't blame the ticketing company and the bona fide endorser.

I said I'd better call the police. I think that Song Jia is also a veteran of the company, you and my dad have trusted her for so many years, why did you suddenly do this kind of thing!

3.8 million, a lot less, but a lot more...... It's not worth the risk, is it?

I can't figure it out.

Later, Ye Jinliang said that he would call the executives of the legal department to discuss the matter. What does he mean...... Is he going to stay in the company and work overtime?

It's almost six o'clock, this is the time when the lights of thousands of homes are lit on Chinese New Year's Eve, our poor Mr. Ye, will he spend his first lonely Chinese New Year's Eve cold and miserable?

I didn't say anything, just turned to Du Chenfeng beside me and asked him how he spent the winter night.

"I'll go to the hospital to accompany Winter Night, and she'll be on duty tonight."

I said, it's too hard to be a doctor. Why don't Jiang Zuoyi and I send you some dumplings.

"No, the hospital also has logistical benefits. Winter nights are on duty in the first half of the night, mainly because the emergency room is understaffed. Every time it comes to the New Year, I am most afraid of some accidents or something. According to the news, just this morning, there were more than a dozen children injured by firecrackers. After Du Chenfeng finished speaking, he said goodbye to me and Ye Jin and left.

"Shu Lan," Ye Jinliang called me.

I said yes, I'm gone. Ye Zi is still waiting for me, originally to get the New Year's bag for the child, but I didn't expect to meet Chenfeng and say something at work.

"Don't take it too seriously," I persuaded Ye Jinliang: "I am the director of the company, Song Jia is guarding the matter of self-theft, I will find a way to recover it." If you really can't slow down, you might as well go out for a vacation during the Chinese New Year. Don't always deliberately push yourself so hard with overtime. ”

"Shu Lan, you ...... Is it a concern for a friend? ”

I hung my head and said I always wanted you well.

"You wait for me." Leave me at the desk, Ye Jin went and returned.

"This is for the leaves." He brought over a paper bag, red and festive packaging, so much so that I thought it was firecrackers again.

"It's the Little Red Riding Hood cloak she used to be clamoring for."

I said that Ye Zi likes it, but Xiaoxiao may not like it. Moreover, this is the size for children under three years old, and the leaves have grown quite taller.

"Ye Jinliang, the child has grown up. In just a few months, she has grown up with me, and she is no longer the little girl who will cry without her parents to accompany her.

Without the accompaniment of fairy tales, she can also fall asleep obediently. She has friends, hobbies, and even judgments of her own....."

"Really...... I forgot. Ye Jinliang's hand hung in the air awkwardly, and he hesitated for a long time before putting it down.

But I stepped forward and grabbed it in my hand, saying give it to me. Even if it's a souvenir.

At least let your child know that you're still thinking about her...... Girls, I don't love too much.

"The New Year's bag is inside." Ye Jinliang said: "The Jiang family's child also has it, I don't like Jiang Zuoyi, but his son is good to Yezi, I can see it." ”

"Oh, I thank you for Zero." I smiled and said that Xiao Ling would only save up his pocket money to buy gifts for the leaves anyway.

"Really?" Ye Jinliang's expression paused for a moment, I knew what he had thought. So I replied, just like you did to me when you were a child.

My calm tone was undoubtedly cruel. It's like telling him all the time - Ye Jinliang, I remember everything, but I can't be with you.

"Then you, remember to tell the boy. If you really like our leaves, you will ...... in the future No matter what happens, believe in her, protect her, and support her.

Don't use extreme love as an excuse to restrain her, and don't use extreme means as weapons to hurt her.

Because the meeting at the age of three or five seems child's play, but if you can't hold hands, you can really hold hands for a lifetime......

Sometimes, it's just a little bit of it. ”

It's just almost, Ye Jinliang, we're almost going to be able to live a lifetime, right? It's a pity that that's not true, how can you talk and laugh at the nature of friends without minding if you love with your heart?

I said I'm leaving, don't stay up. The body matters.

Before I went home, I bought Jiang Ling a deformed dinosaur egg at a convenience store.

Because I have to explain to Jiang Zuoyi why I brought a gift to Ye Zi after a turn. So to speak, I bought it specifically for my two children.

It's a pity that the chair didn't sit hot as soon as I entered the door, and the dead man came to my ear: "Who did you secretly go out to see?" ”

I felt empty for a while, and said no, and met Du Chenfeng in the company. By the way, I was about to tell you, he found out that the next corporate bill in our accounts was forged, and this Song Jia is too bold.

"Don't change the subject, there are invoices in the paper bag!"

I said hehe, hehehe, this damn Ye Jinliang, after buying a gift and keeping the price tag, is it going to be reimbursed!

"Mom, let's go pour some vinegar! Uncle Jiang wants to eat! Ye Zi said while stuffing the dumplings into his mouth, puffing out his cheeks.

"Hey, that's not what jealousy meant." Jiang Ling poked the leaves with the tips of chopsticks.

The daughter muttered in a low voice, clearly meaning that.

It was the first time I saw Jiang Zuoyi so embarrassed, got up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen again" and fled.

I gave each of the two little ghosts a chestnut burst, saying that you should give me enough time, don't always bully my man.

"I should tell you this, Aunt Shu." Jiang Lingyi was looking at me tightly: "Whether you want to choose Ye Zi's father or my godfather, you must always make up your own mind." ”

I said, didn't I choose them all! Otherwise, who do you think is accompanying you to eat dumplings today?

"Then you can just say it generously! Who gave the gift, what is there to hide? There's no ghost in your heart, what are you afraid of. In addition, did you deduct the New Year's money given by my father? "The leaves jumped, and the smell of pork and onions sprayed me in the face: don't think I'm stupid with leaves, I'm stupid too."

I was so angry that my teeth itched, I was afraid of making Jiang Zuoyi unhappy, so I didn't mention the money. It's a pity that the leaves are easy to deceive, but not easy to deceive, I guess as soon as I enter the door, I smell the smell of corruption on my body...

I took out the red envelope, a copy of my Ye Jinliang. I said don't spend it indiscriminately, my mother will help you save it, and you will keep it for college in the future!

"Aunt Shu, you're out! What age are there still people saving up to go to college? With that, Jiang Ling ran back to the house and took out an envelope: "This is the New Year's money that my godfather gave me and Yezi." ”

I looked at a list in Xiao Ling's hand in surprise, what kind of New Year's money is this, this is an education credit fund.

What the heck? Jiang Zuoyi bought all the education credit from primary school to undergraduate for his two children, and the cost could go all the way to a private high-end school.

I said put it away, don't lose it.

Leaving the two children at the table to eat dumplings, I came to the kitchen.

Jiang Zuoyi was stirring in the pot with a colander in one hand, and the other hand was still habitually in his pocket, as if he was ready to pull out a gun at any time.

I'm wondering, is he giving a shot to see which dumpling is not well-behaved!

Walking over and gently hugging his waist, I said that the man who cooks is the most attractive.

"Get out—" he scolded me.

"Are you really angry?" I stabbed him in the waist, and he kicked me like a donkey. I said that you are so careful: "Ye Jinliang gave things just to satisfy his own peace of mind, and he accepted it as charity."

The kids don't really care, what are you doing so seriously. ”

Compared with your previous style of shooting and crashing if you feel uncomfortable, the sense of picture is a bit out of harmony.

"Andy? Ye Jinliang is now working overtime in the company alone, you go to the parking lot to do it—"

Jiang Zuoyi touched his mobile phone, and I was scared more than the dumplings in the pot: "What are you doing!" Pretend to be ruthless! ”

Jiang Zuoyi stared at the group of dumplings in the pot that had been raped and their clothes were torn, and suddenly turned his head to me and asked, "Shu Lan, do you think... Back to love, before hurting, maybe Ye Jinliang is more suitable for treating children well than me? ”

"What do you mean?" I said.

"I don't mean anything else, I just think... Whether it is a small zero or a leaf, as long as it is treated gently and cared for with care in early childhood, it is perfect.

But they will grow up day by day, and they will begin to form an independent outlook on life and right and wrong. And the responsibility of parents will no longer be simply to meet the needs of food and clothing. ”

I hugged Jiang Zuoyi's waist, stroked his loose belt, pulled the spoon and slowly stirred the dumpling soup in the pot.

"You're already good, really. Your past is just a joke of times and origins...

I see the education fund you bought for Leaves and Little Zero..."

Jiang Zuoyi said that he hadn't studied much, and he didn't know what else to do for his child's future.

"After all, parents can't shelter them for the rest of their lives, in case one day they can't do it..."

Jiang Zuoyi always turned his back to me, and his words were diffused little by little with the steaming heat in the pot, and his heart was wet when he listened.

"Isn't it okay to talk about something auspicious for the New Year?" I pinched the handle of the spoon and walked around at will, while burying my face deep in his broad back: "In the future, we will do things steadfastly, make money with peace of mind, and don't care about the previous love and hatred."

Jiang Zuoyi, you also promised me that you won't hurt me again, right? ”

"Yes." His breath was a little rapid, and he snorted in his nose.

"But Shu Lan, I promised not to hurt you. The premise also requires you to have a strong heart... Don't be easily harmed.

Also, are you going to serve dumplings or what? Can you let me go first? Rub it again to bring out the sauce. ”

As soon as I let go, I poked my head out from behind him only to find that the colander was lying aggrievedly by the stove at the moment.

Then I pinched... What is it?

The long handle, just the right feel, I thought he was disgusted with stainless steel frozen hands, wrapped a layer of denim on it.

I turned to run away, but he grabbed me.

With a click, the kitchen door was locked, and it pressed me directly to the stove!

"What are you doing! Can you be in heat anytime, anywhere! "I struggled.

"You provoked it." Jiang Zuoyi pinched my neck, as if he was guillotine, and divided me by two and wrapped me as a dumpling.

I wanted to cry without tears, but he said it doesn't matter if you are loud, there are firecrackers outside.

I begged him to hurry up, Ye Zi is now two people, and he eats a lot of food, maybe he will come in again later.

"Then let her take a good look at who is qualified to press her mother to be her father."

"Jiang Zuoyi, you are perverted..."

is clearly jealous and venting his anger, and he pretends to have a self-sacrificing tall face in front of him. I cursed as I lay on the stove.

This shameless!

It's not a short time, mainly because he has already handed in his homework once during the day, and it's been even longer.

I was hungry when he finished quickly, and I had a momentary urge to drink some dumpling soup while he was finishing.

I'm afraid he can break my neck with his hand!

After coming out, Ye Zi asked Mom, why are you messy every time you stay with Uncle Jiang?

"Because my mother was disobedient, I was taught a lesson." Jiang Zuoyi gave Ye Zi another bowl of soup and coaxed the little girl to shut up.

I went into the house and called my dad, and the Chinese New Year was over, and the prison release period had been extended.

I said that I would go to see him in the third year of junior high school, and just tell me what I want to eat and what I want.

When I call my dad, I usually avoid Jiang Zuoyi, because I know that many times the front of love is compromise and the back is tolerance.

It's unlikely that he'll ever want to sit at the same table with my father for dinner in his life, and it's hard enough for him to love me.

When I finished the phone call and went back to the living room, I was shocked.

The door was open, and Jiang Zuoyi turned his back to me, as if he was talking to someone.

"Zhaoxin?"

I really didn't expect Lu Zhaoxin to come over, and I saw that she was still carrying something in her hand. I wonder if I'm going to spend another expense to give something to my two little ghosts, right? It is said that reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, thinking about the last time Jiang Zuoyi said such unkind words to her, I was embarrassed.

"Sorry to bother you, I also bought a set of dolls for Leaf when I bought toys for Little Zero last time. The two online stores did not send goods at the same time, and this one arrived. ”

"Manager Lu bothered, come in and sit." Originally, I was a little worried that Jiang Zuoyi would be vigilant and not listen to what he said. Before I could speak, he took the initiative to let people in.

"Just now, Mr. Shu was still talking to you, saying that he was going to deliver you dumplings."

"No, I'll ...... Take a look at the leaves. She deliberately said the leaves, without mentioning Xiao Ling, I guess she still has some ideas.

Ye Zi is my daughter, and the relationship between women is relatively soft. Besides, I was asking her to take care of the leaves before.

I said don't be polite, I pulled Lu Zhaoxin to the table while Jiang Zuoyi went to the kitchen, and I said don't have an acquaintance with that man. Xiao Ling has no parents since he was a child, and he has followed him since the full moon.

You also know what Jiang Zuoyi's guy used to do, right, it's hard to love and be more nervous than others.

I drove my two kids into the house to watch cartoons, so I could talk boldly.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhaoxin was bolder than me, and when there was no one around, he actually asked: "Mr. Jiang's adopted son, could it be him-"

I was directly embarrassed, casually put on a helpless smile, and didn't want to explain more.

To be honest, I don't feel wronged at all when he is a father to Yezi! Nonsense, the reason why Ye Zi came to this world is not because of these two sluts.

And I will be Jiang Ling's stepmother...... To be honest, a woman wouldn't be too happy with this.

Although the boy is likable, he has a pedigree on him.

I said don't talk about this, eat dumplings, eat quickly. In fact, the one on the plate was already cold, just in time for Jiang Zuoyi to come out, and served another steaming steam.

"Manager Lu, won't you go home for the New Year?"

Jiang Zuoyi politely made me a little unaccustomed.

"Oh, my parents are abroad. They are divorced and have their own families, so ...... Mr. Jiang, Mr. Shu, in fact, I am here to ask for sin today. ”

"Please?"

I was surprised, I said Zhaoxin, what's wrong with you, what's wrong?

"Xu Qian's matter is my responsibility." As soon as Lu Zhaoxin said this, I immediately put my chopsticks away.

Xu Qian has always been reluctant to cooperate with us, anyway, she will be executed after the year, and she confessed that she did it herself.

Now Lu Zhaoxin suddenly ran out to sing with me!

"I met this Aunt Xu when I was in the community gym, and sometimes I stayed late and there were fewer people, so I talked to her a few more words.

She said she had also lost her husband and children, possibly ...... Let's take pity on the same disease.

That day, I helped you go to see the kindergarten, and overheard two internal teachers saying that they were going to recruit temporary workers. ”

Lu Zhaoxin kept her head down, and I couldn't see her expression clearly.

"It's almost the New Year, and Aunt Xu said that she has no relatives and no reason, so she might as well do more work...... So I just said it casually. Who knows-"

I wasn't calm on the spot, I said Lu Zhaoxin, that's Xu Qian! Mo Jianlin's wife! You didn't recognize it?!

"I really didn't recognize ......"

"You were also there when Mo Jianlin jumped off the building, and her wife rushed up and beat me, and you were still helping me wipe my blood at that time!" I really, I don't know if to be angry with her or angry with her. Although Ye Zi was in danger, he lost my mother's life!

"I'm sorry, I only saw his wife on the day of the accident, when Xu Qian was more than seven months pregnant and very swollen. Now they're all skinny ......."

Hearing Lu Zhaoxin say this, I can also understand. For more than three months, I don't think Xu Qian has lived a life like a person. When I found her, I barely recognized her.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, Manager Lu shouldn't blame himself." Jiang Zuoyi pushed the dumplings over and watched her take a bite gently.

I say in my heart that today's Jiang Zuoyi ...... Why does it seem a little strange?

But at this moment, I saw Lu Zhaoxin suddenly throw down her chopsticks, holding her throat with both hands, and her expression was very painful!

"Zhaoxin, what's wrong with you!" I was terrified.
