Chu Le took out a cigarette case, raised his hand and knocked out one, and twisted it between his fingers, his movements were rusty, as if he was holding a pen instead of a cigarette.

glanced sideways at Qin Mengshi, and stopped talking. Then he turned his gaze to the lighter on the table, and paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "It was Huo Tianyu who told me." ”

Qin Mengshi remembered that Chu Le rarely smoked and basically didn't touch it at home. Eyes fell on the cigarette case, Qin Mengshi raised her hand and rubbed her temples twice, "I remember that you and Huo Tianyu are not very familiar, why did he tell you this?" ”

Chu Le nodded, "It's unfamiliar."

Chu Le reached out and picked up the lighter, lit the fire, brought it to his mouth, lit the cigarette, and looked at the cigarette butt sparkling, Chu Le took a slow breath, spit out a big smoke ring, and suddenly smiled, "Mengshi, you are so smart, how can you not understand the reason." He wants us to hide the Huo family's affairs from you, and he specially begged me not to let Chu Ran leak it. I believe that Huo Tianyu should have informed a lot of people, I don't know where you got the news, but it's a pity that Huo Tianyu worked hard. ”

Qin Mengshi's nails pinched deep into the palms of her hands, and she quietly gasped for a long time before she eased up, pressed the sofa and wanted to stand up, but when she got up, she felt that she had exerted a lot of strength, but her body didn't move. Snorting, Qin Mengshi hung her head and said in a muffled voice, "Brother, don't tell him." ”

Chu Le only took two puffs, then snuffed out most of the remaining cigarettes in the ashtray, frowning sideways, "What?" ”

Qin Mengshi tried to pull the corners of her mouth a few times, and finally tried to reach a satisfactory arc, as if she was really smiling, so she raised her head to look at Chu Le, "Brother," I originally thought it was good, but as soon as I spit out a word, my eyes swelled and sour, and I lowered my head again. After a long time, Qin Mengshi bit her lip and looked sideways at Chu Le, "Brother, don't tell Huo Tianyu that I know, please." ”

Mother Chu had been sitting on the opposite side of the sofa looking at Qin Mengshi and Chu Le, although they were all in a few words, Mother Chu knew what they were talking about. I have endured it all the time and did not interject. But at this time, seeing that Qin Mengshi's eyes were red, she finally couldn't help it anymore, stood up and squeezed Chu Le aside, grabbed Qin Mengshi's shoulder and stroked it gently, "Be good, don't be sad!" Stretched out his hand and pushed Chu Le, "Go and call Ran Ran down." ”

Raising her hand and wiping her face indiscriminately, Qin Mengshi grabbed Mother Chu's hand and shook her head, "It's okay, Aunt Meng, I'm fine." No need to call Ran Ran down, I'll go first, and I'll come back to see her when I have time. With that, Qin Mengshi was about to stand up.

Mother Chu stood up with Qin Mengshi, grabbed her hand and didn't let go, looking at Qin Mengshi's eyes full of pity, "Sit for a while, sit for a while, don't you love to eat yogurt made by your aunt?" Auntie is going to make you ...... now."

Qin Mengshi smiled bitterly, she knew Mother Chu's kindness, but she really didn't have that mood, "I really don't need it, Auntie." I'll be sure to trouble you if I come back another day. I've got something to do in a moment, so I'm really going to go. ”

"But," Chu's mother was not at ease, and wanted to continue to persuade, but without waiting for Qin Mengshi to speak again, Chu Le directly stood up and grabbed Chu's mother's arm, her tone was very light, but very firm, "Mom, I'll send Mengshi back." ”

Mother Chu looked back at Chu Le, sighed softly, and didn't insist any longer, but just grabbed Qin Mengshi's hand and said a few words uncomfortably before letting Chu Le send her out.

Chu Le started the car, and while driving in the direction of Qin Mengshi's house, he asked, "Send you home?" ”

Qin Mengshi hung her head and said hello softly.

Chu Le knew that Qin Mengshi felt uncomfortable, and anyone who encountered such a big thing at home would not feel good, but life had to go on.

Searching for unfamiliar words in his mind as much as possible, Chu Le wanted to comfort Qin Mengshi, but the man was more than capable of this aspect, racking his brains and thinking for a long time, he could only be reasonable, "Don't worry too much, although the storm this time is not small, but the Huo family can stand in City A for so long, and it is not so easy to be shaken." If the Chu family wants the Huo family to do it, the plan is foolproof, they can be twenty percent sure. If it is forced, the ending will definitely be a loss to the wife and a soldier. Although the company that suddenly appeared had a strong momentum, it was emerging after all, it was not that I didn't admit defeat, I really didn't believe that it would be more powerful than the Chu family. And you have to believe Huo Tianyu, he is not a person without ability. ”

What Chu Le said was the truth, Qin Mengshi knew, nodded, raised his head and looked ahead, the dusky streets were still full of traffic. It's a pity that with the same street scene, the mood of the people who see the scenery is very different.

"Brother Chu Le, when did the Huo clan encounter this whirlpool?"

Chu Le pondered for a while, and still answered Qin Mengshi's question truthfully, "It seems that the day before yesterday, from the very beginning, the other party made a lot of noise, and he was not afraid that everyone would know, but as if he was afraid that everyone would not know." ”

Day before yesterday? It should have started when Huo Tianyu received that call in the car!

In the past two days, he must have been very busy, and he was ...... yesterday Qin Mengshi closed her eyes heavily, and it took a long time before she slowly opened them.

As if carelessly, Qin Mengshi reached out and touched the bear pendant in front of the car, "This kind of business confrontation is mainly a matter of funds, right?" ”

Chu Le was stunned by Qin Mengshi's straightforward question, and then nodded, "It can be said that in the business field, money is really omnipotent." ”

Nodding, Qin Mengshi continued to look ahead, but stopped talking.

Seeing that Qin Mengshi didn't speak, Chu Le didn't bother her, and drove quietly all the time. It wasn't until there was only one traffic light away from Qin Mengshi's house that Chu Le took out his hand and rubbed the top of Qin Mengshi's hair, and asked gently: "Huo Tianyu must have been very busy in the past two days, and he didn't have time to go home." Do you want to call Ran Ran over to accompany you? We can also feel more relieved to have her. ”

Qin Mengshi smiled faintly at Chu Le gratefully, "No, there is still Mother Wu at home." Besides, I'm really fine, and I'm not going to mess with him at this juncture. ”

Chu Le didn't say anything right away, as if he was considering whether Qin Mengshi's words were credible. Stopping the car, Chu Le turned to look at Qin Mengshi sideways, and said firmly: "Huo's affairs, my parents and I are hiding it, I'm afraid that she will let you know for a while." Now that you know, we won't hide it, and I'll let her come over with you early tomorrow morning. ”

This time, Qin Mengshi didn't refute immediately, out of many considerations, she nodded lightly, "Thank you, Brother Chu Le." ”

"Thank you, I've always treated you as the same as Ran Ran, treating you as my own sister, and it's not right to worry about you." Saying that, Chu Le looked at Huo Tianyu's house through the car window, sighed and said: "I discussed with my father, if the Huo family is really difficult to pass by on their own this time, we will not stand idly by, as for the final result, we can only do our best and obey the fate of heaven." ”

Qin Mengshi was originally half-hanging her head and thinking wildly, but after hearing Chu Le's words, she first blinked in surprise, digested the meaning of Chu Le's words, and then raised her head suddenly, seeing that Chu Le had a serious face and no intention of joking. Qin Mengshi opened her mouth and spit out a complete sentence for a while, "Brother, are you serious?" ”

Chu Le glanced at Qin Mengshi funny and angry, "I only often lie to Ranran, look when I have lied to you!" ”

"Brother, Uncle Chu, Aunt Meng, and Ran Ran, thank you, really." Qin Mengshi stretched out her hand and clenched her fist against her forehead, wanting to laugh and cry, having been with the Chu family for so many years, Qin Mengshi knew very well what Chu Le's promise in the snow meant.

The Chu family will give the Huo family support, if he knows this news, can Huo Tianyu relax a little?

Chu Le stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Qin Mengshi's hair twice, "Why are you talking about this, aren't we a family!" Alright, go back and rest early. Don't think too much, it'll pass. ”

"It's going to get better, it's going to pass." Qin Mengshi also felt that this sentence had no meaning at all, as if it was a code word agreed upon by adults, you can not be sad when I say this. But hearing Chu Le say this at this time, Qin Mengshi really felt that this sentence seemed to have magic, maybe everything would really be fine.

Qin Mengshi turned her head and smiled at Chu Le, it was her most sincere smile tonight, "Okay, brother, you drive slower and be careful on the road." ”

Chu Le nodded, and watched Qin Mengshi get out of the car.

Qin Mengshi took two steps forward, suddenly turned around and ran to the front of the car again, lying on the half-open window of the co-pilot and said to Chu Le: "Brother, I understand your kindness, but don't force it, really." ”

"Silly girl, there are a lot of things to worry about." Chu Le scolded with a smile, waved his hand and asked Qin Mengshi to leave, "Let's go, don't delay me going home and sleeping." ”

Qin Mengshi also smiled, straightened up, and she also waved her hand at Chu Le, "Brother, you go first, I'll go home when I see you go." ”

Looking at the gate that was close at hand, Chu Le didn't insist anymore, there were only more than ten steps left and right, and he believed that nothing would go wrong. Nodding at Qin Mengshi, Chu Le turned around and left as soon as he hit the steering wheel.

Qin Mengshi had been standing on the side of the road looking at Chu Le's car, until the rear of the car was gone, and she was still standing there unconsciously, staring into the distance with her eyes focused and confused, not knowing what she was thinking.

The wind at night was blowing sparingly, the willow trees on both sides of the road rustled, and Qin Mengshi subconsciously shivered.

This summer is coming to an end.

Turning her head to look at the brightly lit home, Qin Mengshi lowered her head and sighed softly.

There was no Huo Tianyu in the cold room, and she didn't want to go back.

Turning around again, in the opposite direction to home, Qin Mengshi slowly took steps. She suddenly wanted to go to the Huo family to see Huo Tianyu, even if it was just a glance from a distance. She knew that she couldn't stand side by side with him now, all she could do was to accompany him silently.

Accompany it, even if it's silent, it's better than staying in the room and thinking nonsense.
