Christina saw that I was stunned, so she pulled me hard: "What's the matter, seeing that the car is about to hit you, you are still stunned." ”

When I heard her tone, it seemed to be disgusted, but it was actually full of concern, and my heart was warm: "Well, it's nothing, it seems that I recognized the wrong person." ”

Christina tilted her face: "Who do you mistakenly recognize?" ”

I shook my head: "An old friend, who was the best confidant with me and February at school. But she has already gone to the United States, and she has become a relative there, and I am afraid that now the children will be gone. ”

Christina raised her eyebrows: "Eighty percent of you miss her, after all, you have grown up together since childhood, and such friendship is naturally hidden deep in your heart." ”

I shrugged, "Maybe, but I miss her, but I definitely don't want to see her here." Maybe years later, when the war is over, I will take the initiative to see her. ”

Christina patted me on the shoulder, as if to encourage me, but more like to cheer herself up: "Don't worry, the war will soon be over, and you will see each other again when it is over."

The agreed meeting place is the International Hotel, a skyscraper standing on the bustling Bund, so tall and solemn, as if it is incompatible with this era full of gunsmoke and hardship. The people who come and go here are either rich or expensive, so I straightened the hem of the cheongsam and patted my cheek to make myself look more radiant.

Christina and I found a secluded corner of the café and sat down. The two couches and the drapery on one side form a relatively confined space. Pedestrians come and go outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, which is not easy to be noticed, but can also observe the surrounding situation, and is close to the side door, if there is really something to do, it is easy to get out and leave.

Christina leaned back on the sofa with satisfaction: "Hmm, what a feng shui treasure. ”

I was vaguely worried: "It's so secluded here, won't she find us?" ”

Christina shook her head nonchalantly: "Then you underestimate her too much, if you can even stump her with this little thing, how can you call the wind and rain on the beach." ”

We were playing dumb riddles, but the waiter on the side was not surprised: "Two young ladies, this is a dessert list, a seasonal chestnut cake, and the most famous butterfly cake, all of which have just been baked in the morning in the pastry room, do you need one?" ”

Naturally, I had heard of the names of these desserts, so I said, "Just listen to you, and have two more cups of black tea." ”

Christina carefully flipped through the dessert list, seemingly fascinated by the array of delicacies. It's not surprising that she's been in training camp for so long and can sit in a café and enjoy dessert and coffee for the first time.

Christina pointed to the dessert list and said to the waiter, "Well, let's have a red velvet cake and a sandwich, and we have a friend who will be here later, so let's have a drink then." ”

The waiter, who looked very handsome, agreed, poured us two glasses of lemonade and left. I looked at his back as he left, and asked coldly: "You also told Cao Yu'an about today's incident, I didn't expect him to be so powerful, and he has his eyeliner everywhere." ”

Christina wasn't surprised at all: "Don't be humble in the future, obviously your eyes are terrible now." In fact, there is no need to hide this from you, the economic lifeline is the foundation of the country, President Cao will naturally do his best, and we must not sit idly by. Mr. Cao has a lot of contacts in Shanghai and is close to ministers from various countries. I think he will be able to come up with a way not only to thwart the Japanese conspiracy, but also to make the Japanese lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot. ”

I nervously observed the movement around me, and my voice was very low: "We don't know what the envoy of the upper peak looks like, and we don't know where he is now. Why are you so bold, and you are not afraid of being seen by her. ”

Christina shrugged: "Because my view from this position is unobstructed, you can't see, even everyone's small movements and careful thoughts can't escape my eyes." ”

I was a little helpless: "You are so confident, what else do I have to say." ”

After a while, the dessert and black tea we ordered came up. The dessert is placed on the double-tiered dessert table, which looks luxurious and high-end. In addition to black tea, there is no shortage of sugar and hot milk. I poured the milk into the black tea, took another sugar cube and put it in the teacup, stirred it slowly with a small silver spoon, and watched the colors blend little by little: "Today is really a blessing, I hope that the envoy can arrive a little later, so that we can also steal half a day of leisure." ”

I watched as Christina's expression slowly changed, and her eyes seemed to wander with what was in front of her. So he asked her curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Christina Nunu mouthed: "I saw a beautiful woman who captivated the city and the country, and the gentleman next to her, who seemed to be very familiar." These two people are really a wonderful pair, let alone me, everyone's eyes are rolling on the two of them. ”

I heard footsteps coming this way, my eyes changed from amazement to confusion, and I heard a soft voice behind me: "The two of us are late, and you won't wait for us to eat?" ”

As soon as I turned around and saw the man next to her, I was stunned for no reason. Eldest brother? I have been separated from him for a long time, we have no communication with each other, and I am always worried about his safety, but I did not expect him to appear in front of me again in such a way.

I was speechless, but my eldest brother had already given me a hug generously: "What's wrong?" Am I handsome again, how can you see that I can't say a word? ”

My mind turned a thousand times, but my mind was blank. I can't figure out who he is now, and what kind of identity should I face him? On the other side, Christina had already chatted happily with the woman who claimed to be Xinyu.

I naturally knew why they suddenly appeared, so I pretended to inadvertently hand Xin Yu the business card that Cao Wuxian handed me to me. Xinyu looked at the text on it, and the smile on her face seemed to be a lot kinder: "I didn't expect that after a few years, you have become a successful person." Okay, let's talk about what I can do for you. ”

Christina was not in a hurry, and really talked to everyone about the current economic situation. The eldest brother nodded in agreement, and at the same time said seriously, now there are several foreign banks in Shanghai, and the rest are also waiting, for fear that the concession will not be able to stop the footsteps of the Japanese, if they go late, maybe even the finances of the underground safe will fall into the hands of the Japanese.

Christina then straightened up and gathered us together to talk about the telegram she had intercepted. Such scenes are not uncommon in international hotels, and for some time now, the businessmen gathered here have been sharing the inside information they have heard.

Xinyu's smile froze at the corner of her mouth, and the eldest brother's face unexpectedly gloomy.
