To be honest, I was not surprised at all when I received Xu Ran's call, really.

I had expected her to make such a call, but it was only a matter of time.

Xu Ran on the phone had a gentle attitude, just like before, as if he really didn't know what happened to me and Han Mo.

But that gentle voice made me feel cold all over, and I could almost imagine what kind of look Xu Ran had in his eyes when he spoke.

She said she wanted to talk to me, and there was no threat, and I knew she should be more than just talking to me.

I know that if Xu Ran wants to see me, he must see me.

But I don't want to see her, but I don't want to wait for her to use tricks on me, and in the end I can't escape the result of seeing her.

I finally said yes, just tomorrow, at the place where we last met.

I hung up the phone, and Zhao Miao just came out of the room, "Xu Ran's phone?" ”

I nodded, looked at her, and wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say.

She too, looking at me, her lips moving several times, but never spoke.

We all know that some things don't need to be said at all, and if you say too much, it becomes a cliché.

I rarely have insomnia, and occasionally I have nightmares, but only occasionally, and the most frequent time is when I first offended Han Mo.

But tonight I had insomnia, lying in bed with my eyes closed, unable to sleep at all.

I really can't sleep, as soon as I close my eyes, I was wondering if Xu Ran would give me a check again tomorrow. They are like this for rich people, and they like to humiliate people with checks.

They don't even have to say anything, they take out the check, write a number and a few zeros, sign it, and hand it to the person they want to humiliate, and the effect is often immediate.

It's not that money is really that powerful enough to hurt a person easily.

But for a person who has no money, even if it's just a thousand, a hundred, it's her self-esteem.

I have no money, I have nothing but a heart as hard as a stone.

Maybe Xu Ran won't give me a check, she just deceived me, and then found someone to repeat Wang Shilin's incident again.

People are always like this, full of anxiety about the unknown.

I spent the night thinking about it like this, until I saw the dawn and finally I couldn't continue to lie down like this, so I got up directly.

It wasn't much outside before it was bright, only a ray of morning light broke out, and even the moon could be seen.

I walked to the window and opened the curtains, only to find that it was snowing outside.

The first snow of the year in City A, I didn't expect it to fall today, as if it portended something not good.

At this point, even the vendors selling breakfast did not come out to move.

After entering December, the morning work time in City A has been postponed by more than half an hour, and most people have moved to more than eight o'clock, and the hawkers do not need to come out at six o'clock to prepare for their stalls.

At this time, the surroundings were quiet, as if the night had not yet passed.

I didn't know what to do, so I had to cook breakfast and porridge, which was the only thing that could kill time and the anxiety in my heart.

"Yaoyao?"

Zhao Miao stood at the door of the kitchen in her pajamas, looking at me without her eyes widening.

I looked at her and pursed her lips, a little sneering, "I'm a little hungry."

She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, then looked at me: "Fu Yao-"

I froze for a moment, and the spoon fell inside the pot.

Zhao Miao sighed, didn't say anything, leaned over and took a look: "What porridge?"

"Dried vegetable porridge."

"Sister."

The two of us were talking, Niuniu suddenly walked over, barefoot, with tears in her eyes, looking at Zhao Miao and screaming cautiously.

Zhao Miao and I were stunned for a moment, Zhao Miao picked her up, raised her hand and touched her eyes: "What's wrong?"

Niuniu didn't speak, I glanced at Zhao Miao and didn't speak.

In fact, both of us know that Niuniu was sent to someone else's house by her mother once, half a year ago, she fell asleep, and when she woke up, she found that she was gone.

The little girl didn't know if she knew that she had been abandoned, so she kept crying and crying for several days, and finally the master couldn't stand it anymore, so she took her back.

At this time, she can't sleep without Zhao Miao at all, she doesn't talk on weekdays, she watches cartoons alone on the sofa, or plays with the toys I bought with Zhao Miao.

Being interrupted by Niu Niu like this, I found that the things in my heart seemed to be forgotten all at once.

Niuniu likes to be clingy, Zhao Miao is working on the script, I don't have anything to do during the day, so I accompany her to play puzzles.

I don't know if children always have such skills, easy to make people laugh and relax, so I played with Niuniu all morning, and I didn't get ready to go out until I had lunch.

Zhao Miao stopped me before I went out, I just walked to the entrance, she stepped forward to help me sort out my scarf, and then patted me on the shoulder: "Yaoyao, you remember, it was you who smashed Han Mo with the wine bottle, not him who smashed you with the wine bottle."

I was stunned for a moment, and my eyes were a little wet.

But my makeup was so delicate that I couldn't cry, I couldn't wear makeup, I had to endure it and turn away.

The howling wind blew through the snow, and my whole body was cold.

But Zhao Miao was right, I smashed Han Mo at the beginning, not him.

So, I should be fearless, not trembling.

None of us can guess what will happen tomorrow, so do our best while we are alive.

I don't know what Xu Ran is going to do, but I know that I love Han Mo, so I can only let myself be fearless, as if I fearlessly smashed Han Mo's wine bottle for Zhao Miao.

This time, Xu Ran hadn't arrived when I arrived, because I arrived half an hour early, found a remote position and sat down, wanting to see if Xu Ran wanted to do something.

Xu Ran arrived five minutes before the appointed time, she asked the waiter, and then sat down at a table by herself.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, I didn't hide anymore, stood up from the corner seat, and walked up to her: "Miss Xu."

The more fragile you are on the inside, the stronger you will be on the outside.

I was expressionless when I said this, and before she could speak, I pulled out a chair and sat down across from her.

She looked at me and smiled, "Miss Fu, it's quite punctual."

Xu Ran said as he handed me the menu, but I didn't answer it, and ordered a latte directly to the waiter standing on the side.

She didn't seem to care about my behavior, smiled, and ordered a latte with me.

"I'm engaged to Han Mo."

Xu Ran was smiling when he said this, holding his hand on the glass containing lemon water, and the pink diamond on his ring finger was so big that it flashed my eyes a little.

I have one hand under the table and the other on top of the table.

Looking at the ring on Xu Ran's hand, I can't be indifferent to myself.

But in front of her, no matter how uncomfortable I was, I didn't want to embarrass myself.

The hand under him tightly grasped the strap of the bag, looked up at her, and smiled: "Congratulations."

Xu Ran naturally knew that I knew about her engagement to Han Mo, and she said it again, just to give me a disappointment first.

She lowered her head and touched the ring: "I wanted to invite you over that night, but Miss Fu's mobile phone seems to be turned off."

Invite me over?

Hehe, Xu Ran's heart is really big, and she is not afraid that I will smash her engagement ceremony.

The thorn in her words was obvious, the tone was shallow, but every word was saying my evasion.

I'm running away, but I don't want to admit it, it's probably every woman who can't help but want to maintain her little self-esteem when she faces her rival.

I'm no exception.

"Oh, that's a pity, I accompanied a friend back to the countryside, and my phone was out of battery, and I didn't notice it."

She looked down and smiled, as the waiter brought the latte that the two of us had ordered.

"Really?"

Xu Ran asked very lightly, and I looked up at the waiter and said thank you, pretending not to hear her at all.

Because I didn't have anything to do, my embarrassment was almost gone, and I didn't know what else I could do to make myself look decent other than such clumsy skills.

I lowered my head and stirred the coffee, no sugar added, just took a sip, it was a little bitter, but it made me sober up a little.

"Miss Xu, your time is precious, if there is anything, you should just say it, there is no need to beat around the bush with me."

I haven't fought Xu Ran once or twice, and her tricks are not hidden in front of me, but what she wants to do, I probably guessed.

All of a sudden, she sat here so calmly and "chatted" with me over coffee, and I knew that the content of the "chat" was not going to be much better.

She was sugaring her coffee, one by one, with a smile on her lips, and the pink diamonds on the engagement ring were particularly dazzling.

Halfway through, she looked up at me, "Isn't Miss Fu curious about Han Mo and I suddenly getting engaged?"

I smiled coolly: "Curious about what? You and Han Mo have been childhood sweethearts for so many years, and now they are engaged, what is there to be curious about? ”

She probably didn't expect me to be so direct, and her face was slightly stunned.

Without the cowardice and embarrassment she expected, I'm really sorry.

I had expected such a day, and I was just unwilling.

"What you said seems to be quite right, but Miss Fu, you may not know that something happened to the Han family. Since the change of office, several cousins and uncles of the Han family have been withdrawn, and the last time Han Mo went on a business trip to Germany to discuss cooperation, it was not negotiated. This year's batch of goods exported to a company in country R has a problem, and the Han family has only two choices, either to replace a new batch of goods, or to give up the market in country R, you know, now, quality is very important. But unfortunately, Han Mo just opened the market this year, and the delivery of the partner there has been less than three months, more than a billion goods, does Miss Fu know what the concept is? ”
