No. 23 Road is on the main street, a café.

This café occupies the most prominent position at the T-junction of the entire street, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows are large enough for customers to enjoy the outside world.

In one of the seats in a row near the street sat a woman in a white shirt and black trousers, her chestnut hair dyed golden through the glass. Bathed in the sun, I don't know if she reflects the sun or the sun shines on her.

She flipped through the latest fashion magazines in her hand, occasionally took a sip of the black coffee in hand, and occasionally raised her eyes to look out the window at the bustling crowd.

The door to the café seemed to be opened again, and the sound of approaching footsteps made the woman put down the magazine in her hand.

"Long time no see." The woman brushed the hair from her ears, raised her head and smiled brightly.

The person who came was expressionless, dressed casually and plainly, and wore a black hat on his head so that people could not see his face clearly, but from the faintly revealed half of his face, it can be seen that his skin is dark and rough, and he should be a man who has experienced the vicissitudes of weather, about forty years old.

He sat opposite, and when the waiter greeted him, he casually pointed to a cup of coffee and hurriedly sent her away, and then he looked at the woman opposite and asked, "Miss Tian, what are you doing with me?" ”

Tian Yiwan smiled and said softly: "It's all so bad, okay, Mr. Jiang, I just want to help you finish what you didn't finish six years ago." ”

"I don't understand what you're saying?"

"I've been hiding for so many years, and I'm giving you a chance now." Tian Yi picked up the bitter black coffee and tasted it with a smile.

Jiang Yang's expression was a little unnatural, he hurriedly picked up the coffee in front of him and drank it to hide his nervousness, as soon as he drank it in his mouth, he was choked and almost vomited, the hot coffee brought not only burning, but also refreshing bitterness.

Tian Yi saw Jiang Yang's embarrassed face, reached out and put a piece of sugar cube into his coffee, and said indifferently: "Sometimes it's good to add some ingredients and change it." ”

Jiang Yang stretched out his hand again to pick up the cup, and there was a large scar left by the burning on the tiger's mouth in his right hand, and the eye-catching scar extended to the depths of the cuff that were invisible. He continued to take a long sip, and indeed a different taste came from before.

Jiang Yang was quiet and said, "Miss Tian, I'm doing well now, and I don't plan to change anything." ”

"Okay? Is it okay to go out early and return late every day to drive the bus and earn a little rent? Tian Yi took out a business card and pushed it in front of Jiang Yang, "You can choose to add some ingredients by yourself and live a better life." ”

Jiang Yang looked at the small rectangular card in front of him, which was printed with the logo of Tian's enterprise, and the six big characters "Sales Assistant Jiang Yang" were written on the bottom line. He knew in his heart what he was going to change by accepting the business card, but he also knew better what he was going to lose.

The pros and cons of the two need to be weighed.

Looking at Jiang Yang, who was hesitant in front of him, Tian Yi knew that it was good to finish speaking.

She stood up and glanced out the window, put on sunglasses and said to Jiang Yang, "Come to me when you think clearly." ”

The doors of the café opened and closed, and the sound of high heels gradually drowned out in the crowd.

Tian Yi already had a direction in her heart to walk in the crowd of people coming and going, she looked at the familiar back with a smile on her face, and walked towards the person.

"Long time no see." Tian Yi stepped forward and said.

Shang Xiaoyu was lowering his head to collect the paint, when he saw a pair of nude high heels in his sight, and then there was a beautiful voice ringing in his ears. Raising his eyes, he was indeed the expected person.

She smiled politely and said, "Hello, Miss Tian." ”

"Don't be so outside, not a few years older than you, just call me Tian Yi." Tian Yi took off his sunglasses and put his eyes on the pile of painting tools in front of Shang Xiaoyu, and said, "I saw you painting from afar just now, and I wanted to come over to see your paintings, but I didn't expect you to call it a day." ”

Shang Xiaoyu's heart was full of joy, fortunately, she had finished the painting with her hands quickly, and it had been put away, otherwise if she was seen by Tian Yi on the spot, she wouldn't know how to explain to Su Yize.

"It's okay, you'll see it when you have the chance." Shang Xiaoyu replied.

Tian Yi nodded, pointed to the eye-catching store opposite, and said, "My bridal shop will open soon, remember to come and enjoy your face when the time comes." ”

"It's an honor." Shang Xiaoyu said.

Tian Yi looked at his watch, patted his head and took Shang Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Anyway, you're done painting, why don't we go have lunch, I know a newly opened barbecue restaurant, it's super delicious." ”

Although it was an invitation, Tian Yi was already ready to start helping to clean up his things, and between Shang Xiaoyu and her, Tian Yi's mobile phone accidentally fell out, and some lines fell on the screen, Shang Xiaoyu apologized repeatedly, and was also pulled by Tian Yi to eat in this invitation that could not be refused, and Shang Xiaoyu also stated that he would treat her as a reparation and invite her to dinner.

In Shang Xiaoyu's impression, Tian Yi has always been an elegant and generous woman, her dress is fresh and beautiful, but her gestures reveal a little queenly temperament.

is such a goddess-level woman, Shang Xiaoyu never imagined that she would pull herself to eat barbecue, she also thought that the daughter of their high society would only eat steak, cooking and the like.

"What's the matter, do I look so out of place?" Tian Yi also seemed to have guessed the little Jiujiu in her heart in Shang Xiaoyu's surprised eyes.

Shang Xiaoyu shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's down-to-earth." ”

"I'm not a god, what kind of earthly spirit. I used to go to barbecues with my friends, street stalls, etc. After ordering, Tian Yi handed the menu back to the waiter, "By the way, I heard that you just graduated this year, why?" ”

"Oh, I had a car accident in my junior year of high school, and I was in the hospital for more than a year and delayed my studies." Shang Xiaoyu said casually.

Tian Yi showed an apologetic look on his face, and apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry for touching your sadness." ”

"It's bad luck at best, there's nothing to be sad about."

"Did the perpetrator be found?" Tian Yi asked with concern.

Shang Xiaoyu just wanted to blurt out, but after stopping his thoughts in time, he said, "No, I should be dead." ”

Hearing Shang Xiaoyu's answer, Tian Yi frowned, obviously not expecting her to have such a reaction. She took a sip of juice, paused and said tentatively, "Does Meng Xuan know?" ”

"Yes."

A succession of delicacies were served on the table one after another, and the two of them were suddenly diverted from ending the topic of the past just now.

Girls always have endless topics to talk about when they get together, if Tian Yi hadn't been called away by the company, I'm afraid that the two of them could have a lunch to the point of eating dinner together.

When she came out of the barbecue restaurant, a low-key white sports car was already parked at the door, Shang Xiaoyu didn't recognize the brand, but she knew that it was the driver who had just called Tian Yi who drove to pick her up.

"Don't you really need me to send you?" Tian Yi asked again.

Shang Xiaoyu hugged the paintings and drawing boards he had wrapped, shook his head again and again, and said, "I really don't need to, I still have to ride my car back." "She can't let her mount be here all day.

The party repeatedly refused Tian Yi and couldn't say anything, so he said goodbye to Shang Xiaoyu and got into the car.

Tian Yi sat in the car and saw Shang Xiaoyu, who was far behind from a distance, waved goodbye to her and turned to leave, she removed the smile on her face, and picked up the documents that the assistant on the side had already prepared.

After being quiet in the car for a long time, a cold voice sounded, saying, "Keep an eye on Jiang Yang, you have to keep an eye on his every move." There is also Shang Xiaoyu...... I can't let her ruin my plans. ”

"Yes, Mr. Tian."

The phone vibrate, Tian Yi watched Meng Xuan's name dance on the screen, she hooked her lips with a smile so that her tone sounded gentle and unchanged, she said, "Why did you remember to call me?" ”

After a few words, Tian Yi hung up the phone and said coldly: "Go check the Mercedes-Benz SLK six years ago and give me the news as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Mr. Tian." The driver answered again.

As the car drifted away, Tian Yi rolled down the window and looked at the busy world outside, and she swept everyone who came and went with disdain.

In this world, a tacit understanding that everyone coincides with is called a mask. I don't know when it began, everyone put a mask on their faces, and behind the hypocrisy was their own shady true face.

Three poles on the sun.

"Assistant Xue, my painting for Mr. Su has been painted, I don't know when it will be convenient to send it over?" Shang Xiaoyu admired his new work while calling Su Yize's assistant Xue Fang.

Xue Fang on the other end of the phone looked at the man sitting in the boss's chair opposite, the man nodded slightly, Xue Fang understood what he meant, and said, "It's okay today." ”

"Okay, I'll be there later." Shang Xiaoyu said.

"Boss, Miss Shang will send the painting over today." Xue Fang reported respectfully to Su Yize.

Su Yize took off his gold-rimmed glasses, the eyes behind the lenses were bright but deep and bottomless, as if he was in the fog under the moonlit night.

He said: "Tian Yi's bridal shop is about to open, what has she been busy with these days? ”

Xue Fang took out an envelope from his arms, then poured out three photos and handed them to Su Yize, and waited for Su Yize to take them before he spoke: "This was taken yesterday, Miss Tian and this person met and talked in a café for about fifteen minutes. ”

Although Su Yize still looked the same at this moment, Xue Fang obviously noticed the frown on his face when he saw these photos, as well as his cold eyes.

"It's already been checked, and it will be found out right away." Xue Fang hurriedly reported.

Su Yize took out the glasses cloth and began to wipe the gold-rimmed glasses, and said gently, "Be quick." Shang Xiaoyu should be coming soon, and you will know what to do in a while. ”

"Understood." Xue Fangfang straightened up, and then exited Su Yize's office.

With the closing of the mahogany door, the huge office fell into silence in an instant, Su Yize opened the drawer and was about to put the glasses cloth in his hand back into the drawer, but when he opened the drawer, he saw a corner of green, and he pulled out this small green notebook along the corner.

He flipped it open, and what greeted him was a blank space.

I don't know if this object, which looks a little old, evokes Su Yize's memories of the past, he stared at it for a long time and put it back in place expressionlessly, and then casually threw the glasses cloth into the trash can.

After about twenty minutes, Xue Fang waited downstairs in the AM company for Shang Xiaoyu, who was holding a big guy. Xue Fang greeted him and took over Shang Xiaoyu's painting with great discernment, and Shang Xiaoyu naturally handed it over to him politely.

"Then I'll go first?" The mission was successfully completed, and it was indeed time to go back the way it came.

Xue Fang stopped her and said, "Go up, the boss still wants to catch up with Miss Shang." ”

Up?

Shang Xiaoyu didn't know what old things he and Su Yize had to talk about, and the only thing he could think of was probably her and Meng Xuan's affairs. He is Meng Xuan's elder brother, so it shouldn't be unusual for him to know about the two of them.

It's also a family member of the mother-in-law, and it's important to build a good relationship.

Thinking of this, Shang Xiaoyu entered Su Yize's office with a spring on his face, and greeted him politely as soon as he saw him.

Su Yize thought about it and calculated the time when she came, the tea brewed was lukewarm and just right, Shang Xiaoyu felt refreshed when she tasted it.

"I heard about you and Meng Xuan, but I didn't expect to see each other for a long time, and we will be a family when we meet again." Su Yize said with a smile.

"Mr. Su is polite, it's a little early." Shang Xiaoyu was a little shy when she was said, and she obviously felt that her face was a little hot.

Seeing her blushing, Su Yize's smile deepened, and he quipped: "Even if it's early, you can shout so much, just follow Meng Xuan to call me brother." Xiao Yu? ”

The person on the other side obviously gave her enough face and took the initiative to win over the relationship between them, so Shang Xiaoyu naturally didn't want to twist and pinch anymore, and after taking a sip of tea, he symbolically called Su Yize.

However, when Shang Xiaoyu really shouted and was recognized by Meng Xuan's brother, she had an indescribable weirdness in her heart, which was different from the feeling Su Yize brought her before.

Maybe it's because their relationship has changed.

The tea was almost drunk, and the sky was about the same, Shang Xiaoyu got up to say goodbye, Su Yize didn't leave her much, and still asked Xue Fang to send her away as always.

"Miss Shang, I'll drive you." Xue Fang said.

"No need, I'll just take the bus, that's how I came, it's very convenient, don't bother." Shang Xiaoyu took out his bus card and waved at him and walked briskly towards the stop sign, looking like he was afraid that Xue Fang would put her on the bus in the next second.

Before Xue Fang could say more, he saw Shang Xiaoyu get on a bus that had just arrived. After getting into the car, Shang Xiaoyu was still waving at him at the window, and Xue Fang also waved at her formulaically.

The next second, he suddenly ran towards the bus.
