Although the place she was going to go and the people she was going to meet gave her a headache, she still breathed a long sigh of relief as soon as the car drove out of the gate of Hefu. In less than a week, she already had the illusion that she was in prison, and she could come out to breathe now, and she couldn't ask for it.

He Chong turned his head and smiled understandingly, and said with a slight teasing: "It's suffocated, I told you that moving in together is not as simple as you imagined, it's only been a few days, look at you have lost weight." ”

She shrugged and turned her neck, and finally reached forward with a long hand and pulled her strings, smelling an aura called "freedom".

"Just get used to it, don't worry. Actually, it's easy to say anything else, but I'm not allowed to go out to work, and I can't accept it. ”

"In their eyes, working is to make money, and our family already has a lot of money, so we don't need you to work anymore."

"If a person doesn't find something to do, he eats and drinks at home all day long, and sooner or later he will collapse."

"Who's to say it's not, but you'd better stop thinking about it for now, and talk about it later."

"I know, that's the only way to go."

He Chong stretched out a hand and pinched her left cheek, and said apologetically: "It's hard for you, my parents have been in a bad temper recently, don't take it to heart if you say something you don't like, I apologize to you for them." ”

"Don't worry, I won't take it to heart."

"Which of the two do you think is more difficult to get along with?"

"Your father is busy from morning to night, even at home, he stays in the study, and only takes pictures during meals, so he doesn't have much opportunity to get in touch. He has such a face for everyone, so he is probably more serious by nature. As for the aunt......"

She timidly watched He Chong's attitude, and He Chong was engrossed in driving, smiling, without the slightest suspicion.

"I can't say how I feel, every time I see her, I'm very nervous and a little scared."

"Actually, she used to be quite kind, but my dad broke her heart, and now she has become a little prickly. She is also carrying a gun when she talks to me now, you can ignore her, and if there is anything excessive, tell me, and I will find her a theory. ”

"That's not good, I'm just talking about it privately, won't you make it difficult for me to go to her."

"Yes, then you go in and out of your left ear."

"By the way, what is she busy with every day, sometimes later than her uncle comes back."

She founded a charitable foundation, and when she was not busy, she would play golf with friends or swim at home, or go to the mountains with her master to meditate. Rather than being busy, I think she has a lot of schedules, not as boring as my dad. ”

"That's ......"

Hearing that Xin Mu is keen on charity, she was a little surprised, which is a little far from her private impression.

"Mom is actually smarter than Dad, and the family's business in the early years relied on her assistance, otherwise my dad wouldn't have been able to create Aogu. Later, she took a back seat, and she relied on charity to help Agu establish a good business image, so I said that no matter how bad the two of them were, it was only the surface, and they were inseparable from each other. ”

"Do they have any other investments besides opening a company and doing business?" Chiba cautiously probed, and unnaturally pulled the seat belt due to his weak heart.

He Chong shook his head and said: "My dad is a businessman, and all the investments under his name are for money to make money, so how can he have time to do anything else." As for my mom, I don't know, she seems to be doing something other than the Foundation, but she never mentions it to us. ”

"And how do you know she's doing something else?"

"I once overheard her telling my dad what she wanted to fund."

If it was Chiba driving at the moment, she should unconsciously step on the brakes.

"What research project?" She pretended to be calm, but her heart was beating fast.

He Chong touched her head like a pet.

"Medicine? Agriculture? Nanometre? Eco-friendly materials? He pouted and said he didn't know anything, and at the same time he wasn't interested, "I said that I overheard it by accident, and it is not surprising that I heard it wrong." Anyway, after that time, they never talked to me and my sister in front of each other, so I guess it's either yellow or nothing like that. ”

When he turned his eyes to Chiba again, she was already lying on the car window in a daze.

He moved his Adam's apple up and down, and asked, "Are you thinking about how to deal with it later?" I also have a headache. ”

He was under the same pressure as she was for the person he was going to see next.

"Hey." She sighed sullenly, her mind hooked on another tricky matter.

Song Yingchen sent an invitation to her and He Chong, and told her to attend at the same time, which couldn't help but put a heavy burden on their backs. She has never diminished her love for Song Yingchen, and while she feels guilty for He Chong, she also deeply feels hurt him. How should she explain, and how should she make a gesture of letting go, so that everything settles?

It's very hard. Just by seeing those elk-like eyes, the most tender and true part of the heart will be awakened. But by this time, she had completely put this part of her mind to sleep, and focused on revenge. She was afraid, afraid of being captured by Song Yingchen, afraid that her immoral behavior would be seen through by him, and afraid that her previous efforts would be wasted......

He Chong too. On the one hand, he was very proud, wanting to show off his love in front of Song Yingchen, but on the other hand, he was a little worried, afraid that Chiba would be robbed. He knew very well that he lost to Song Yingchen in terms of emotional weight, but his character of not admitting defeat and good face did not allow him to refuse the other party's invitation, so he had to go to the appointment.

The meeting place was about a restaurant on Lushan, and Song Yingchen specially chose the most expensive private room in the store-Yunting. This is a glass house, located on a boulder, and being in it is like being held up among the clouds, which is very interesting.

But none of the three of them had the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and sat around the huge dining table in the shape of "Pin", without saying a word.

The waiter presented red wine, He Chong covered the mouth of the glass, and said to Song Yingchen, "I came by car." ”

Song Yingchen looked a little distracted, and when he heard him say this, he quickly got up and took the wine bottle from the waiter's hand, and forcibly snatched his wine glass.

"No wine, no joy, our brothers haven't sat together for a long time, and we are not allowed to make excuses."

After saying that, he poured the first half cup for He Chong, and picked up Chiba's cup again.

Chiba didn't refuse, but he didn't dare to look him in the eyes, just stood up slightly politely.

Song Yingchen put down the wine glass, pressed her shoulder, and smiled as if it was far from near and not close.

"Still stand up, is it necessary to be so polite, you knew me earlier than you knew him."

Hearing such words, she was very distressed. All the light and all the heat in her life were willing to radiate towards Song Yingchen, but at this moment, she could only build a cold barrier to isolate it. The only thing you can do is to scold yourself over and over again in your heart, scold yourself for being despicable and shameless, scold yourself for repaying your grievances with virtue, and scold yourself for being evil.

"Thank you." She said vaguely.

Song Yingchen gave the waiter a look, and the other party retreated.

"Come on, let's touch one." He raised his glass.

He Chong Qianye looked at each other, and then picked up the cup. Both of them just took a sip, but Song Yingchen drank all the wine in the cup, and after putting the wine glass back on the table, the polite smile on his face finally solidified and turned into another gloomy cloud.

"I heard...... Are you together? He asked, his voice sounding bitter.

Chiba lowered her head, chills all over her body.

He Chong was stunned at first, then drank all the wine, poured it for him again, and then poured it for himself.

"Yingchen, you and my brother, you will bless me, right?"

He smiled bitterly, raised his glass but only shook it, and clinked glasses with He Chong without cooperation.

"Blessings, blessings, blessings, blessings are the least cost-effective gifts, aren't they?" He slanted at He Chong, his eyes suspiciously hostile.

"But blessings are the most valuable, especially your blessings." He Chong looked at him clearly, hoping to resolve the indescribable embarrassment between them with sincere eyes.

Song Yingchen smiled and said nothing, staring blankly at the desktop.

"Chiba lives in my house now, thank you for taking care of her for me before." He Chong said again, and put his hand on Chiba's shoulder.

"We all live together...... Are you planning to get married? Song Yingchen asked, looking at Chiba.

She stared at him with a red face, confused.

"It's almost soon, my parents like her very much, and besides, the two must be going to get married, and I want to ask you to be my best man then." He Chong raised his head, and a strange thought took over his thoughts. Not satisfied with his faded victory, he suddenly felt like it was time to smash another punch at his opponent – the ultimate move to cement the victory, albeit unbearable.

"Are you afraid of long nights and dreams?" Unexpectedly, Song Yingchen asked unscrupulously.

"What do you mean?" He Chong was immediately alert.

"I invited you here today to fulfill the agreement of fair competition between you and me, and I want to ask Chiba personally if he likes you more or me."

He Chong propped his hands on the table, and his body was in a defensive and offensive posture.

"You!"

Chiba pressed his hand and quickly got up.

"Song Yingchen, you were drunk in a hurry with that glass of wine just now, you were drunk." She pretended to be serious and said, feeling He Chong's pulse beating strongly in her palm, "The food here looks delicious, I'm hungry, let's move the chopsticks." ”

Song Yingchen picked up the chopsticks and pestled them on the table, picked up a pinch of beans and Miao Lianxin and put it into his mouth, chewing and saying, "Eat, talk while eating...... Hey, this lotus heart is so bitter, just like me. ”

He Chong still wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw Chiba shaking his head at him pitifully, he endured it.

Song Yingchen was eating the vegetables by himself, his eyes suddenly turned red, and for a long time, he said aggrievedly.

"Brother Chong, I'm not here to find fault, I just want to find out the truth. I wonder why I lost because of that shameless photo and that message that wasn't from me? ”

He Chong couldn't sit still, he did play tricks on this matter, and he didn't tell Chiba the truth. But he could not admit it at this moment, because honesty would take away what he had.

In a sense, both he and Chiba have a very hidden shame, which stems from the disarming of their own selfish desires, and they can't help themselves.

"Did you break up with that person again? Song Yingchen, you are good anywhere, but you are emotionally indecisive and ape-like. If you don't like people, don't do those things that make people misunderstand, ambiguity will not only hurt others, but also delay yourself. ”

He began to teach Song Yingchen a lesson before Chiba became suspicious.

"Chiba, you answer me, why?" Song Yingchen ignored his words, and only looked at Chiba with resentment, two tears rolling in his eyes, "I don't want to explain Mina's matter, but please believe that I only have you in my heart." ”

"Don't do that, you've drunk too much." Chiba couldn't hold back any longer, turned her head and secretly wiped her tears.

"Song Yingchen!" He Chong slapped the table angrily, and the cup was also shaken, making a piercing clang.

"Let me finish!" Song Yingchen was also angry.

"You bastard!"

"Who the hell is a bastard and says that it is fair? It's still not a competition between men and men! ”

One sentence made He Chong, who felt ashamed in his heart, speechless.

"Chiba, one heart can't fit two people, you must only love one between me and He Chong. Tell me, why is he not me? ”

He Chong scolded: "Ridiculous, why do you think I'm inferior to you!" She likes whoever she is free, not like a beggar who asks for it. Song Yingchen, if you are very drunk, I will send you home, don't be drunk here. ”

Chiba finally stood up.

"He Chong, let me answer him."

She couldn't escape, and she didn't want to run again. I didn't want to hurt He Chong or Song Yingchen, but this was destined to be an unrealistic fantasy. As a result, the only option is to damage both.

She confessed that she had committed an immoral sin, and secretly swore in her heart that she would atone for the two of them after avenging the blood and revenge, even if she did not hesitate to pay with her own life.

"Song Yingchen, thank you for liking me, I feel relieved and frightened for this. He Chong has always said that you are ambiguous, but it may be that I am ambiguous, and I have done a lot of things that have led to today's situation, and I deeply regret it. We are good friends, you have helped me a lot, and I will never forget these things in my heart. But please stop liking me, it's just a waste of your time. I decided to be with He Chong because we were born and died together, and he was very tolerant of me. You probably know my past, you should know that I am an insecure person who needs someone to protect, I think he is the guardian saint given to me by God, I need him, he needs me. ”

Listening to these words, Song Yingchen fell from the stool, He Chong saw this and hurriedly helped him up, but he was like a puddle of mud and could no longer straighten his body.

"He Chong, you also listen, I am not as good as you think, I am not only inferior but also selfish, because I have a lot of dark pasts. My life is a helpless one. But I don't want to compromise, or even want to make changes, but my personal ability is very small, so I can only pin my hopes on you. If you can listen to these words in your heart, you can regret it, and you will cut me off with it, and I will never say anything. But no matter what, I hope you treat Song Yingchen well, treat your friends well, you are good brothers, but I made a-for-tat confrontation, it is my fault, I am sorry for you. ”

Hearing these words, He Chong suddenly felt a sharp knife pierce his heart. Chiba's self-evaluation just now can't be applied to him, between friendship and love, he chose a method that is extremely inconsistent with the image of integrity and majesty, and he even feels that the word despicable is not enough to describe his behavior......

But when you get to this point, you can't go back.

What's more, he didn't understand the true meaning behind Chiba's words at all.
