That night I went back to my little nest and tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep all night. I always felt depressed in my heart, and I didn't dare to think about anything, because when I thought about it, I felt as if the weight of the whole world was pressed on my chest, and I couldn't move at all.

As soon as it dawned the next day, I couldn't wait to get up and take a taxi to the company.

The guard who had just woken up saw that he had just opened the door, so I strode in, a little stunned, and kept looking at the watch on my wrist. I nodded at him and said hello, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned back to me early.

When I got to the floor of our department, I was just about to push open the office door when I heard a faint noise. I followed the sound and looked, and there was a faint light in Duan Muqing's office.

He didn't return overnight? Sitting until dawn again?

Thinking of this, my heart ached unexpectedly.

I hammered my chest hard, thinking that this heart was really damned, so I was hurt to pieces, and I didn't know whether I was alive or dead, and I began to feel sorry for that person.

As he thought so, he heard a few vague quarrels coming from there.

There is a woman's voice!

There was a lot of noise, and it felt as if the door was opening all at once, and the sound became clear.

"Stop, where are you going?" It was the girl's voice from last night.

I didn't know what was wrong when I heard footsteps coming towards me, so I hurriedly took out my key to open the office door like a thief, and I slammed in and closed the door softly.

The footsteps paused slightly as they approached our office, and then strode away. After that, there was a series of footsteps rushing to catch up, accompanied by a few words of coquettishness that wanted to cry without tears, "You wait for me!" Do you really think I wouldn't dare? I tell you, if you continue to do this to me, I will do anything! ”

It wasn't until the elevator door clanged and closed with a clatter, that my breath, which I had been holding tightly, was relieved.

A man stood alone in the dark, smirking to himself.

What do I have to hide? I'm not who he is anymore!

I have to say that this work is really a good medicine to escape emotional confusion, when I put myself into those project piles, what Duan Muqing, mysterious women, what are they doing at the moment, etc., there is no data at all that bothers me more.

When I pulled out again, the sky outside the window was pitch black again. I smiled in a trance, if it wasn't for a few things on the table in front of me, I really thought it was when I just came in the morning!

I took a general look at those things, and there was a snack, probably because a colleague couldn't see it, and I didn't even move my ass when I worked hard all day, for fear that I would be hungry and kindly put it on my table.

Unfortunately, I was so involved that I didn't even say thank you.

There were also some documents waiting for me to sign, I looked through them one by one, picked up the pen and signed.

Then, it was the salary list of our department for this month, and I opened it to look at mine, and the string of numbers made me smile with satisfaction.

This job is really far more reliable than that of men, at least your hard work and dedication will not be disappointed!

After leaving the company, I was about to stop the car and go home, when the phone rang.

When I arrived at the jewelry store, the door was halfway closed, but the lights were still bright. I stood at the door, quietly listening to Mrs. Yan's bitter prayers to the clerks.

I think the reason why she chose to come to our store at this time with that bracelet was just to avoid me. After all, if we meet again at this time, it is still such an embarrassing situation, where should she put her old face?

Let her beg someone who has never seen it right in the past, but is above her at the moment, she is so sad that she wants to die!

But she still didn't expect that the clerk would inform me as soon as possible after stabilizing her.

I looked her up and down, and the original exquisite gorgeous clothes and beautiful clothes were only left in the street stall at the moment. And I used to spend an hour every day to carefully comb my hair, which was tied back so casually, white and black, messy and scattered. And the face that has been injected with too many beauty needles, because there is no support from those expensive cosmetics, completely stepped down, the whole face is like a soft and collapsed dough, and the facial features are crowded together, which makes people look a little scared.

The most embarrassing thing for me is the hands, it turns out that she is the most precious of her own hands, a little damp water to scream and quickly touch the handkerchief, and immediately apply the imported hand cream that she has shown off in front of me more than once. What now? The cracked wrinkles on the hands are rough and ugly, and the cracks of the black nails are filled with unknown dirt.

Thinking of what she did to me in the past, and seeing her appearance now, my heart should have been hearty. But somehow, I couldn't relax at all.

"Please, you can discount it at half price, this chain was bought at three times the price before, I don't talk about this three times the price now, I only need half of the original price, you see, I have preserved this object excellently!"

"But madam, I'm really sorry, our things here, unless it's a quality problem, are generally not returned."

"You should have pity on my old woman, I beg you, my old man is still lying on the hospital bed waiting for me to buy medicine to cure the disease, I will take it to other places to exchange money, those guys are illiterate, the money given is too low, I can't bear it." Girl, you have pity on me, give me a refund, I only need half the price! ”

The clerk looked embarrassed, "Madam, we also sympathize with your plight, but the things in this store cannot be returned without the receipts purchased before, please don't embarrass us anymore, we are closing." ”

The clerk was right, there is no receipt, and it cannot be returned. And that document, which was taken by Lin Xuan'er that day to find fault, was regarded as one of the evidence by the police and has been searched. How could she get it?

Seeing that the clerks were about to close the door and leave, she hurriedly grabbed the hands of the people and begged bitterly again.

At this time, one of the clerks saw me coming and hurriedly bowed slightly to me, "Mr. Lu, you are finally here." Then he said to the old lady Yan in front of him, "Our Mr. Lu is here, otherwise, you should tell her the situation yourself, and she can call the shots in this matter." ”

Hearing the man say this, I felt her back stiffen visibly, and I saw her holding the necklace in one hand, squeezing it tightly with the other, as if it had gone through a painful entanglement, and then turned around bluntly.

I nodded to the clerks and motioned for them to come over and help clean the door.

After only me and Old Lady Yan were left, she finally raised her head in a low voice. Her whole face was so swollen that I couldn't see what her eyes were, but I could feel that she was no longer as arrogant and angry as before.

That's why I'm willing to be alone and talk to her.

Seeing that I didn't speak, she paused, and finally said cautiously, "You, you can return this to me for the sake of Lei and Lei'er." ”

I glanced at her lightly, turned my head to the side of the rest area, and said calmly, "Sit down and talk." ”

Sitting down, she seemed more and more cramped and uneasy, "Can you retreat, just give me a clear answer, don't look at my jokes like this, these days, I have been a joke of many people, and I am tired." ”

I shook my head, "You're thinking too much, I'm going to make fun of you, and I won't even let you sit." With that, I motioned for the clerk to pour a glass of water and give it to her.

She was flattered and picked it up, and was just about to drink it, when she looked at me suspiciously.

I smiled angrily, "What, are you afraid that I will be poisoned?" ”

Hearing me say this, she pouted in embarrassment, "To be honest, I'd rather die now, but I'm quiet when I'm dead." It's really more uncomfortable to live in such a humble way than to die. ”

Hearing her thoughtful words, a trace of coldness flashed in my heart, "So, this world is round, didn't you once look down on the most humble people?" Now, I have finally tried the taste of humble life! ”

She gave me a twinkling look, "You still hate me!" ”

I smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I really hated it before!" Hate beyond words! I also fantasize that one day I will become strong enough for you to regret! I regret that I was kicked out of the Yan family so much, and I regret that I looked down on me so much! ”

She bowed her head timidly,

I continued, "But now, I don't hate you!" Because it's not worth it! Whether you're doing well or not, it doesn't matter to me. ”

She raised her head unexpectedly, "Little Ninety-Nine... Awakened? ”

I glanced at her sharply, and she trembled slightly, "I heard what Lei'er said." The night he went to turn himself in, he told me everything. I feel like I'm in a dream these days, Lei'er is in prison, the old man is sick, and then Meimei is in a mental hospital, I ......"

As she spoke, she unconsciously began to cry, "I really don't know how long I can last!" ”

It was the first time I saw her actually crying. There were real tears flowing from the corners of her narrow eyes, and it was no longer clear whether she was happy or sad on her distorted face, but she felt that the twitching shoulders and the suppressed cry made her whole person look so desolate.

She would never have dreamed that her old age would be so depressed.
