The next day, it was Sunday.

Li Li called Fang Mu worriedly.

Fang Mu apologized hoarsely when he received the call: "I'm sorry, Lili." ”

"Can we meet?" Lili and Fang Mu made an appointment to meet in the afternoon at a café near her apartment.

After lunch at noon, Jia Dong sent Lili back to the apartment first.

Li Li invited Jia Dong to her house for the first time.

Small and cosy room. The floors are low and dimly lit.

The sofa and bed are next to each other. There are no bedside tables, and there is an old-fashioned chest of drawers against the wall. On it is placed a family photo of Lili.

Lili's parents looked like simple farmers. A young boy stands beside Lili.

"Who is this?" Jia Dong asked.

"My brother." Li Li said with a wry smile. "This is the first time you've cared about my family."

"You still have a brother? I thought you were an only child. Jia Dong touched his nose embarrassedly. He never cared where Lili came from or who was in the family. I never asked Lili about the situation at home.

"My brother's sons are both 2 years old." Lili mechanically introduced her family and origin, the man next to her had never tried to understand her, how could she still hope to marry him.

Lili's voice was a little sad. "When my brother got married, his parents sold all the cattle they had in order to scrape together the bride price. It costs a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law in the countryside. If you don't provide me with education and marry me off in the countryside, you can receive a bride price of more than 200,000 yuan, and my younger brother will have money for his marriage. ”

Seeing that Jiadong was listening seriously, Li Li continued: "My mother thinks that raising such a girl as me is a big loss, she spent a lot of money in college, and she hasn't married yet. I went to work, and my income was not enough for my own expenses in the capital. ”

"When I first came to Beijing, I shared a simple room with my classmates, and the kitchen was shared outside. It's cold in winter, so I wear a coat to stir-fry. That is, the smelly coat you like. In the last sentence, Lili had a hint of irony.

She wants to show her true colors to Jiadong, her inferiority, her cowardice. Jia Dong didn't know anything about it.

Jia Dong just treats her as a pet, or a pet that can be carried with him.

Jia Dong listened silently, looking at the family photo album that Li Li gave him. There are wheat fields, there is corn, and there are green vegetables. He also saw pigs. He remembered that when he was in California, he heard the owner of a Chinese restaurant say that the family would only kill pigs during the Chinese New Year.

When Jia Dong was focused, his eyes were extraordinarily deep, as if he had a strong deep affection.

And after saying all this, Li Li felt a sense of relief.

Then Jia Dong took her to that café.

After Jia Dong saw Li Li in, he didn't leave, he leaned against the car door and lit a cigarette.

Li Li entered the hall from outside the scorching summer sun, and felt that the light and shadow were wrong, and someone was standing at the door. She thought it was a waiter, so she looked up.

It's Fang Mu. Her whole body tensed, and her eyes were a little frightened.

Fang Mu saw her coming in from outside, came over to pick her up, and when he saw her expression, he paused.

The two walked to the window seat, and Li Li saw Jia Dong outside the window, and he leaned against the car.

Li Li was wearing an ivory white dress, and she looked very thin. Her eyes were red and swollen, but they were sharp.

The light in Fang Mu's eyes gradually faded, leaving only boundless desolation and silence.

Fang Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Lili, I am sincere to you. ”

"Just throw me on the side of the road?" Lili asked.

Fang Mu put his arm on the table, and then he buried his head in his hands.

"I drank too much that day. If you are found to be drunk driving, you will be detained. I was so distraught that I didn't consider your feelings, so I left you there alone. Fang Mu didn't dare to look up. You must be scared alone? ”

"You're not afraid of being detained for drunk driving, you're afraid of the police, are you?" Lili said tentatively.

"Well, I'm afraid that if I go in, I won't be able to get out." Fang Mu muttered.

"What the hell did you do, kill people and set fires?" Lili asked.

Fang Mu smiled bitterly: "My boss was arrested directly without going through shuanggui." The investigative team will find me soon. ”

"I'm sorry, Lili. By the time I met you, it had already happened. Fang Mu said weakly.

Lili didn't want to know more about what he did, she didn't want to know, she didn't dare to know.

"He must have broken the law, I know if he is covering up?" Lili was beating a drum in her heart. She couldn't care about being sad anymore.

"Don't say it, I don't want to know what happened to you." Li Li stopped Fang Mu.

Fang Mu understood Lili's worries: "I don't know the severity, and I don't know if there is a future. Lili, I am not qualified to do this to you, but I am sincere to you. ”

Fang Mu was in pain, and his expression was distorted.

Li Li's heart was bright and thorough, she stood up and said goodbye to Fang Mu: "Thank you for taking care of me during this time." You threw me on the road, so we both cleared. ”

Li Li walked out of the café without looking back and got into Jiadong's car.

Jia Dong sent her back to the apartment. The road is close, a few minutes away. They didn't say anything all the way.

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Jiadong asked after pulling the open door for Lili.

"I want to be quiet, thank you, Jiadong." Lili declined.

Jia Dong watched Lili go upstairs and then left.

Closing the door, Lili squatted weakly on the ground. She didn't feel sad, but a kind of relaxation for the rest of her life.

Fortunately, Fang Mu's condition was discovered in time, otherwise once he was arrested, would he have been reported as his mistress? Lili's head thought quickly.

Fortunately, she got out by herself, and she combed it carefully again.

"I won't have anything to do with him in the future. I didn't know anything about his work and never accepted his gifts. ”

This tension makes Lili no longer think about her children's private affairs. After everything was sorted out, Lili felt her ruthlessness.

She has no feelings for Fang Mu at all.

When Jiadong's father and brother were detained, she was also afraid. She made excuses for herself not to contact Jia Dong. During that time, she was still living in Jiadong's house, so she called him, and of course she was really afraid of Zhang Tingting.

If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world.

The next day, Lili went to work in a good time.

George was very dissatisfied with Lili some time ago, she worked from 9 to 5 all day, and as soon as her phone rang, her mind let go.

The performance review for the first half of the year is about to be conducted, and George plans to seize the opportunity to give Lili a dismissal.

Lili looked a little different today, greeted George very warmly, and took the initiative to ask if there was anything she wanted her to do.

Then communicate with the various districts about the situation of materials and understand the needs of the hospital.

He also took the initiative to make an appointment with George, saying that he wanted to report on the progress of the previous product promotion.

"Does she know about performance appraisals, and I'm trying to trouble her?" George thought to himself.
