A check is as light as a feather, but in the hand, I feel so heavy, walking out of the cafeteria, facing the early summer sun, there is an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Sun Yiqing wanted to speak and stopped, which made me feel a little sorry, I didn't expect him to be so generous, and to bear a piece of affection, far heavier than to bear a huge amount of arrears, but I know that Sun Yiqing is sincere.

Fortunately, I finally got the funds that Gao Zijian needed.

Gao Zijian's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, and I heard him say: "Wife, you have worked hard recently, and when I am busy with this time, I will definitely accompany you to spend a good vacation." ”

I just smiled, and a lot of words were stuck in my throat. In fact, I know that Gao Zijian is used to spending big, he was able to find business opportunities in such a short period of time, or he himself is very capable, of course, it is also for me.

I keep his changes in my heart, and the rest, as long as I am the one who silently supports him behind his back, it will be fine. 、

Gao Zijian was so busy, for two days in a row, he didn't get home until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and at that time I had already met with Zhou for a while, got up to heat up, and then went to bed together.

On the third day, I asked the team leader to work overtime. Overtime pay is not high, at least to subsidize a little family. I got off work on time at nine o'clock, and as soon as I walked out of the hall, I saw Liu Shihan standing on the right side.

During this time, the pungency in my personality has also been worn out a lot, so when I saw Liu Shihan, I was relatively calm.

I have seen Liu Shihan a few times before, she rarely wears cold-colored clothes, today she looks a little different, wearing a dark blue sleeveless dress on her body, holding a Chanel handbag in her hand, cold with a kind of indifference, and her previous sweet image is incompatible.

Outside the hall was a thin layer of warm yellow light, falling on her snow-white face, there was an indescribable beauty of despair.

She also saw me, walked in front of me in three steps and two steps, her eyes were not kind, she looked at me and said, "Chen Xiaojia, do you have to rob me?" ”

The tip of her nose is a strong smell of alcohol, plus the heavy makeup on Liu Shihan's face, I guess where she is playing and drinking too much, so she will come here to find me, I don't want to argue, I said: "It's yours, no one can snatch it away." ”

Liu Shihan let out a soft snort with the tip of his nose, a sneer appeared on his face, and said, "Gao Zijian and I are going to get engaged at the end of the month, do you know?" ”

I nodded and didn't speak.

"Then do you know that Gao Zijian was supposed to accompany me to deal with those elders in the family tonight, but now? I was alone, and my face was disgraced! Liu Shihan was a little excited, and his high heels stepped on the floor tiles and made a crisp sound.

I don't know why, I always feel very tired in the past two days, glanced at Liu Shihan, and said, "It's late, I'll go back first, if you're alone, I suggest you go back early."

"Don't go!" Liu Shihan took two steps forward, blocked in front of me domineeringly, and said: "Li Shuyuan will not let you be with Gao Zijian, their Gao family needs our Liu family now, so I advise you to quit early, so that the damage will be reduced a little." ”

I raised my head and looked at Liu Shihan and said, "I know what you said, I won't make decisions on behalf of Gao Zijian, and I can't control his decisions, please get out of the way." ”

Liu Shihan was still blocking me, which aroused the anger in my body, I turned my face, avoided her, and walked straight forward, hearing Liu Shihan shouting: "Chen Xiaojia, Gao Zijian will not be with you!" I'll let him beg me! Beg me to be with him! ”

My stomach was uncomfortable for a while, and my head was a little dizzy, so I took a deep breath and avoided Liu Shihan.

I feel panicked, Liu Meiting's words have put me in a panic, Liu Shihan came over to play drunk again tonight, what are they planning? Are those words true or false?

Suddenly, my feet slipped and I ran straight down the stairs. A hand grabbed me tightly and pulled me hard, pulling me through.

I let out a long breath, raised my head, and saw Sun Yiqing's gentle face, and was just about to thank him, but the tumbling in my stomach became even more serious, and I pretended to be a face and retched quietly.

Sun Yiqing handed me a tissue, his hand gently wiped it twice on my mouth, I stepped back awkwardly, took the tissue, and hurriedly said it was okay.

"In the past two days, I have seen that you are sallow, are you ......" Sun Yiqing's deep voice reached my ears, and I stopped talking.

I turned my face suspiciously, smiled and said, "No, maybe it's too busy." ”

Sun Yiqing looked at me, swept his eyes up and down, and then turned his face to look at Liu Shihan's position, she was gone.

"Eight hours of normal work, you work overtime like this, it can't solve the problem, your body is important," Sun Yiqing looked at me, pointed to the fast food restaurant next door, and said, "Go eat something." ”

I was just about to shake my head, Sun Yiqing had already walked over, I reluctantly followed, and when I arrived at the store, I ate a little casually, but my appetite was not very full.

Five minutes later, I asked the waiter to pack a supper and prepare to go to see Gao Zijian on the other side.

Sun Yiqing sent me to the bottom of the overpass, and said with a smile: "I won't send you up, you have to pay attention to your body." ”

I nodded and ran straight to the elevator. As soon as he took two steps, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was a call from Gao Ziran.

The chicken soup and rice were placed on the left-hand side, and he picked up the phone and leaned to his ear, and asked, "Ziran, what's wrong?" ”

"Sister Xiaojia, where is my brother? Why can't my brother's phone get through? ”

Gao Ziran's voice told me that something big must have happened, and I hurriedly comforted her, saying, "I'm walking towards his office now, what's wrong?" ”

"Sister Xiaojia, my dad has an accident, my dad has an accident!" Gao Ziran's voice was at a loss, and it reached my ears, only to feel that the thing in my hand slipped and fell to the ground.

got off the elevator and hurriedly gave the phone to Gao Zijian, Gao Zijian and Gao Ziran said a few words, and the two colors became very embarrassed, and at the end, Gao Zijian said coldly: "I know." ”

It's not just Gao Zijian's father who has an accident, but even the third uncle who is far away in the capital has a problem, here, Li Shuyuan is still busy socializing with the Liu family, and over there, Gao Zijian's father and uncle were locked up overnight.

The officialdom is changing, where can we ordinary people understand, but when asked about the specific reason, it has not yet been revealed. The only thing I know is that the two people were very embarrassed when they were arrested, and I am afraid that the matter is very wide-ranging, and it is impossible to easily get it out with ordinary relationships.

After listening to Gao Zijian's narration, I have already realized the seriousness of the matter, on the same day, Gao Zijian's father was still in the army, and Gao Zijian's third uncle was arrested in Beijing at the same time.

I suddenly thought of what Liu Meiting said in the hospital, "The Gao family is going to lose", is it related to this?

Gao Zijian has been busy with the game for the past two or three days, it is already the start-up stage, he is exhausted alone, and now his relatives have this problem again, I am really worried that he can't stand it.

I wanted to comfort him, but Gao Zijian hid in the bathroom alone, and only walked out after twenty minutes.

His body smelled of smoke and his eyes were bloodshot red, and I stood up and walked in front of him, and as soon as I got closer, my stomach was churning again.

Hurriedly rushed to the bathroom, only to find four or five cigarette butts in the ashtray on the dresser, I knew that Gao Zijian must be more worried than me.

Walking out, I took Gao Zijian's hand and said, "Now is not the time to be angry, the family needs you." ”

Gao Zijian sighed and said, "The game has just started now, and if you stop for a day, you will lose countless losses. Besides, I'm ...... with them."

"I've seen it all," I pointed to the bathroom and said, "Auntie and Ziran need you, go back." ”

Gao Zijian looked at me and said, "Xiaojia, last time, my mother said such a heavy thing to humiliate you, aren't you angry?" ”

I glared at Gao Zijian and said, "How can you not be angry? But, she's your mom and she's my mom, so, go back. ”

Gao Zijian kissed me lightly on the forehead and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, send you back first." ”

This night, I had two nightmares, and when I woke up once in the early hours of the morning, I only felt panicked in my heart, and all in front of me were Gao Zijian's tired and bloodshot eyes. I woke up again at three o'clock, and dreamed that Liu Shihan was holding a knife and putting it on my neck, which made me shiver with cold.

Is the storm coming?

It wasn't until six o'clock in the morning that I felt sleepy, slept until the alarm clock rang, and then got up and went to the company. I called Gao Zijian on the way, but no one answered, and the uneasiness in my heart became even more serious.

When I was at work, I heard a colleague talk about rumors about the Gao family, and I was even more uneasy. I had no choice but to pull the durian to the bathroom and ask left and right, only to learn the seriousness of the problem.

Gao Zijian's third uncle once cracked a big case when he was sent under a certain city, and more than ten years later, the case was suddenly turned over and re-investigated, and it actually involved bribery, and the person in charge of the case was at a loss.

And Gao Zijian's father is involved, which has a great impact, and the worst possibility is to strip off the original position. Law Department. Divide.

Because the scope is too wide, Zheng Kai's father wants to intervene, but it is to no avail, and Li Shu's family is a businessman, and it is impossible to participate in these issues.

Durian said, "Prepare me for the worst." Durian and I were so close that it was not necessary for her to say those words to comfort me. Actually, I've been feeling in a trance these days, and sure enough, the problem I feared the most, came up.

Before getting off work, Gao Zijian's phone finally got through, and on the phone, his voice was hoarse, and I knew that he must have hit him hard.

He coughed lightly and said, "How are you now?" Have you eaten? ”

"Xiaojia, I'm tired."

"I know," I said, taking a soft breath, "I'm going to buy you something to eat, and I'm on the phone." ”

"Okay."

I want to calm down, I want to be strong, now when Gao Zijian needs me the most, I can't fall, I must not!

I made up my mind, went to a nearby mid-range hotel and packed a few dishes, all of which were light and refreshing, and ran directly to Gao Zijian's home.

When I arrived at the gate of the compound, I saw Gao Zijian smoking not far from the courtyard wall, and after seeing me, he stepped on the cigarette butt and walked straight towards me.

It's just that I haven't seen him all night, but Gao Zijian is even more embarrassed, his hair is a little oily, his whole face is full of tiredness, and the clothes on his body are wrinkled, where can he compare with the high-spirited Gao Zijian in his impression?

Before he was a step away, he hurriedly walked over, hugged me tightly, and said, "Wife, it's good to have you." ”

I glanced at the guard at the door, took a soft breath, and whispered, "Hurry up and let go, you want to be seen." ”

Gao Zijian let go of me, took the food in my hand with one hand, held my hand tightly with the other, and walked directly towards the compound.

It is still the gate of solemn prestige, but some things have changed.

The door opened, and the servant, who had stood at the door last time, came and opened it for us, glanced upstairs, and said, "Madame is still resting." ”

Gao Zijian nodded and pulled me to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The doorbell rang, and Gao Zijian and I poked our heads out of the kitchen at the same time, and we were shocked. It was none other than Liu Shihan!

She glanced at the room, and finally, her eyes fell on me and Gao Zijian, and her face suddenly changed.

I thought she would turn around and leave, but she actually stepped forward and walked towards us.

"Why are you here?" Liu Shihan looked at me, looked at Gao Zijian again, and said, "Gao Zijian, you know the current situation of the Gao family better than me, let her leave." ”

I turned my head a little puzzled, looked at Gao Zijian, and didn't quite understand what Liu Shihan meant.

Gao Zijian looked at me, put a hand on my shoulder, and said, "Liu Shihan, how the Gao family has nothing to do with you, it's you who should go, right?" ”

"You!" Liu Shihan stomped his feet angrily, pointed at Gao Zijian, and said, "Gao Zijian, you remember, this is what you said, don't regret it!" ”

Suddenly, I seemed to understand something, and chased after me directly, followed Liu Shihan to the courtyard, and hurriedly called out to her.

Liu Shihan turned his face to look at me, and said with a disdainful expression: "Chen Xiaojia, I said that I would let Gao Zijian beg to marry me, and I will definitely do it!" ”

"The thing...... Related to you? I boldly expressed my guess and asked Liu Shihan.

Liu Shihan was stunned for a moment, glanced behind me, and said: "I might as well tell you that someone is indeed secretly operating in the affairs of the Gao family, but this person is not me, but the only person who can help Gao Zijian now is me, Chen Xiaojia, if I were you, I would persuade Gao Zijian!" ”

I opened my mouth, and before I could finish speaking, Liu Shihan walked away.

Gao Zijian also came to me at this time, took my hand, and said with some annoyance: "Running so fast, don't even want me?" ”

I took a deep breath, raised my head to look at Gao Zijian, and asked seriously, "Zijian, are you hiding something from me?" ”

Gao Zijian's face was stunned, a gust of wind blew his cheeks, lifting the bangs on his forehead, and after two seconds, Gao Zijian shook his head and said, "What do you think?" If you don't have anything, come over and eat, be good! ”

No, Gao Ziran was not at home, my aunt was resting upstairs again, and Liu Shihan said some inexplicable things, all of which were mixed together, telling me that something must have happened.

Gao Zijian didn't want to say more, even if he didn't want to ask more, he followed him towards the house, and as soon as he stepped into the house, he heard an angry reprimand.

"What is she here for? Subkey, are you confused? ”

I looked up and saw that my aunt was standing on the stairs with messy hair, staring at me with a pair of eyes, where was the usual half of the dignified, and continued: "Shihan came over just now?" Did Shihan see her? What is she doing here? Let her go!! ”

I sniffed lightly, glanced at Gao Zijian, and said, "Auntie is not in a good mood, I'll go back first." ”

Gao Zijian glanced at his aunt, took my hand, and walked out.

Back and forth, it's really a joke. If it weren't for Auntie's actions, perhaps, I wouldn't have guessed what the problem was, but now, I'm clear.

I didn't let Gao Zijian send me, the Gao family needs him more now, took out his mobile phone, called Gao Ziran, the phone was connected, and I knew that she went to Beijing.

"Ziran, you tell Sister Xiaojia honestly, Liu family, did you promise you anything?" I asked directly, and I didn't hide it.

"Sister Xiaojia, who did you listen to?"

"I met Liu Shihan just now, and I want to confirm it with you."

"Sister Xiaojia, don't listen to that woman's nonsense, the Liu family can indeed help us, but my brother refused, my brother won't use his marriage with that woman to make a fuss, don't think about it, my brother only has you in his heart, I'm almost in Beijing now, see if I can find a friend to help, the matter is urgent, I'll call you later!"

I get it, I get it all.

Now is an extraordinary time, how can ordinary people be willing to wade into this troubled water, Auntie is so anxious to let Liu Shihan come over, it must be for Uncle Gao's business...... When you think about it this way, everything is obvious.

What to do? Aside from the Liu family, is there anyone else willing to help?

A figure suddenly flashed in his mind, by the way, Shi Lei is working in an institution, he may know what there is a way, he may be able to help Gao Zijian!

Thinking of this, I hurriedly flipped out the phone book and called Shi Lei.

On the phone, Shi Lei's voice was full of surprise, when he heard that I was going to see him, he immediately made an appointment with me, I hailed a car on the side of the road and ran straight over.

When I arrived at the moat, I saw the figure standing there from a distance, I hurriedly walked over, and it happened that Shi Lei turned his face to look at me, and said with a smile: "Xiaojia, have you thought about it?" ”

Only the street lamp next to the bridge emitted a halo, and I could see the surprise on Shi Lei's face clearly, but I was going to disappoint him, taking a breath, I raised my head and asked, "Shi Lei, I want to ask you for a favor, I don't know if you are willing or not." ”

"Your business is my business, say it."

Shi Lei's hand reached out to mine, I quietly put it behind me, looked at him, and said, "You know about the Gao family, right?" ”

Shi Lei's face changed instantly, he looked at it with some annoyance, and said, "It's so late, you called me just for Gao Zijian's kid?" Chen Xiaojia, Gao Zijian has nothing now, but I'm different, I have everything now, as long as you open your mouth, I can satisfy you. ”

I shook my head and said, "Not the problem. Shi Lei, Meiting is sincere to you, please don't let her down. As for the affairs of the Gao family, I know that you must be more well-informed inside, even if you are not for me, think about the four years of college, you can be regarded as brothers, right? Brotherhood, that's also there. Think about it again, when you entered the institution, it was also Gao Zijian's help, you can't watch him have an accident, right? ”

Shi Lei looked at me in a daze and said, "Chen Xiaojia, don't you feel anything about me?" In school, you will give me a chicken soup, you like to eat ice cream so much, you have to leave it to me, knowing that my shirt is torn, you ran to the pedestrian street to work for two days in a row and you didn't buy anything, I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it! I want to hear the truth, is there still me in your heart? ”

"Forget it, if you don't want to help, I'm not reluctant, I'll ......" I glanced at Shi Lei, stuck the unspoken words in my throat, and turned around to leave.

"Chen Xiaojia!" Shi Lei called me behind me and said, "You don't dare to answer my question, it means that you haven't forgotten me at all in your heart, why don't you want to admit it?" As long as you admit it, I can consider what you say. ”

I turned my face to look at Shi Lei, sighed softly, and said, "Shi Lei, no matter what, I still thank you." There's only so much I can say. ”

"Good!" Shi Lei's expression was a little distorted, he looked at me with a smile and said, "Okay, Chen Xiaojia, you have really changed!" You are so resolute, I am already convinced of your attitude, then, I will also tell you now, what is my attitude towards the affairs of the Gao family. ”

I looked at Shi Lei with some expectation, trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope.

He grinned, his dark eyes were suddenly full of murderous intent, and said, "Chen Xiaojia, I won't help Gao Zijian, not only will I not help him, but I also have to watch the Gao family, day by day, disappear from the city." Hahaha! ”

"You're crazy!" I looked at Shi Lei with disgust, trembling all over.

"I'm not crazy!" Shi Lei looked at me, the smile on his face was as hideous as a devil, and said, "I'm not crazy about Chen Xiaojia, because ...... The person who reported them, it's me! ”

I turned my face in disbelief, looked at Shi Lei in disbelief, and asked, "Why?" Why are you doing this? ”
