A year later.

A little over a year and a month later, the last day of the year, to be exact.

This year's winter in Jiangcheng is particularly cold, and the cold seems to be able to invade the bone marrow and freeze the heart.

Seven o'clock in the evening, Li's Group.

In the president's office on the top floor, the lights are still on.

Mo Yuan stood at the door, wanting to knock but didn't dare.

It's been more than a year, and his wife Mu Shihuan hasn't been found, no one is alive, no body is dead, everyone knows in their hearts that to a large extent, Mu Shihuan will never be able to find it back.

I was also worried about whether the man inside would have a big change in personality, but I don't know whether to say that I was happy or more worried, he returned to normal the day after Mu Shihuan's accident, and was busy with work as before.

There is no worry about the drastic change of temperament.

If you have to say that there is any change, then he has fewer words, the whole person is silent, and he will never say a word unless necessary, in the past he was busy with the company, and now he is even more.

Every day between the company and Nanshan Villa, two o'clock and one line, go out early and return late, even refuse many parties in the circle, and what kind of drinking party and other activities, usually go on his behalf.

And the most important point is that he never took the initiative to mention Mu Shihuan's name again.

Thinking of this, Mo Yuan looked at the closed door with mixed feelings.

After struggling for a long time, he mustered up the courage to knock on the door and enter.

"Mr. Li."

The man behind the executive desk is still working.

Mo Yuan reminded: "Tomorrow is New Year's Day, you should go back early." ”

Li Jingyan didn't lift his eyelids, and his voice was deep: "You get off work, go back to accompany your girlfriend for New Year's Eve earlier, didn't you complain about working overtime some time ago and your girlfriend will run away?" ”

Mo Yuan: "......"

"No," he tried to explain, "I'm actually ......."

"Buzz—"

The man's cell phone rang.

Li Jingyan didn't look at it and connected directly: "Hey." ”

"Lao Li, it's me," Du Shao said with a smile on the other end of the phone, "Today is Xiangxiang's birthday, I saved up a bureau in Huadrunk, come and eat together, how long have we not drunk and eaten together?" Work is busy. ”

In fact, how long Mu Shihuan had an accident, they hadn't drunk and eaten together for a long time, and they had only met a few times, and every time he and Rong Xiuhan were afraid that he wouldn't want to have an accident.

Naturally, it's normal to look at him every time.

But the more this is the case, the more uneasy it is, but all of them know that they can't help it, his heart knot is Mu Shihuan, unless Mu Shihuan is still there.

Can......

Afraid that he would refuse as he had every time before, Du Shao said again: "Give my brother a face, this is the first birthday I spent with Liu Xiangxiang after I was together, I always have to take her to meet my good brother, not to mention that it is New Year's Day after twelve o'clock, and it will be lively on New Year's Eve together." ”

"By the way, I'm afraid you forgot," he reminded of something, "Today is also Li Yan's birthday, I invited her too, Li Yan...... She's alone, they're all friends, and we're going to spend her birthday with her, right? ”

Li Jingyan's signature action paused slightly.

Du Shao felt it, and smiled slightly: "Okay, I won't hide it from you, I also notified Tang Yu, but I don't know if he will come, but Lao Li...... We're brothers after all, we can't be so stiff all the time, can we? Of course, I didn't ask you to ......"

"Got it." Li Jingyan interrupted him indifferently.

Du Shao opened his mouth, unable to understand what he meant: "Then are you coming?" ”

"Say it again."

The busy sound of "beep beep" drilled into my ears.

"How is it, is Brother Li coming?" When Liu Xiangxiang saw that the call was over, he hurriedly stood up and asked softly.

Du Shao shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Liu Xiangxiang bit his lower lip: "Brother Li...... You won't still be working for the company, will you? ”

"Or else?" Du Shao sighed rarely, "What else does he have in his eyes now besides work?" Nothing...... Oh, and the cat left by Mu Shihuan at home. ”

Apart from these two, he could no longer think of anything else in Li Jingyan's eyes.

When Mu Shihuan had an accident, he thought that Li Jingyan would be depressed, but he didn't expect that it was just one night and he returned to normal, and after that, those who acquired the Meng family and became the second largest shareholder of the Mu family, and those with ulterior motives in the Li family were shocked, including Lin Jingshu, who no longer dared to act rashly.

How long did he take it?

It's only about half a month.

After that, he devoted himself to his work.

Du Shao thought silently, where is there no depression, but the depressed way has become work.

He was silent, and Liu Xiangxiang didn't feel good in his heart.

Mu Shihuan...... Can't really find it? After a while, she still asked.

Du Shao shook his head at her, and his voice was very deep: "If I could find it, I would have found it a long time ago." ”

After a pause, he pinched Liu Xiangxiang's face: "Don't talk about these unhappy things, today is your birthday, and it's New Year's Eve, you have to be happy, wait, I'll ask where the others are." ”

Liu Xiangxiang raised a sweet smile at him: "Okay." ”

……

Li Jingyan hung up the phone, and when he caught a glimpse that Mo Yuan hadn't left yet, he finally threw away the pen and closed the document he had just signed.

"Let's go." Standing up with a blank face, he said.

Mo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Okay."

After a short time, the two arrived at the parking lot, Mo Yuan said goodbye to him, and then got into his car.

Li Jingyan bent down and entered the Bentley.

"Mr. Li," Gao Yi in the driver's seat turned his head and asked, "Are you going back to Nanshan Villa?" ”

The same question is asked every day, and the answer is the same.

Li Jingyan didn't speak immediately.

The higher one has to be driven out.

The neon lights flickered on and off, the scenery outside the window kept receding, and half of Li Jingyan's face fell into the shadows, which made him more and more indifferent, as well as the lonely aura emanating from his body.

Staring out the window, suddenly, he said: "Go and get drunk." ”

Gao Yi thought that he had heard it wrong, but after reacting, he realized that it was true, and his heart suddenly felt bad, of course, the most was happy and excited.

"Yes." He replied in a deep voice, trying to restrain his emotions.

Li Jingyan didn't speak again, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but the fingers of his right hand unconsciously turned the ring on his left hand.

The car was extremely quiet, except for the sound of the two of them breathing and their heartbeats.

……

Half an hour later, the car stopped.

"Mr. Li, it's here." Reminder of the first year of high school.

Li Jingyan opened his eyes, and his eyes were extremely dark.

"Hmm." He pushed the door open and got out of the car.

He is a VIP customer who is drunk, even if he hasn't come for a year, the waiter here still remembers him, and when he sees him appear, he respectfully greets him, and after hearing Du Shao's name, he takes him inside.

"Jing Yan."

A familiar voice, a familiar face.

In the corridor, he and Mu Sinian met in a narrow way.

Mousse Nian motioned for the waiter to leave first.

The waiter saw that Li Jingyan had no objection, so he nodded.

On the quiet nine-song corridor, there were only the two of them for a while.

"Smoke?" With a cigarette between his fingers, Mu Sinian said with a smile, "I haven't smoked together for a long time, right?" ”

Li Jingyan put one hand in his trouser pocket, looking indifferent: "Something?" ”

Mu Sinian lowered his eyes and saw the ring on his hand.

He laughed, his voice was thin and cold, and he unabashedly mocked: "Everyone is dead, what ring do you still wear, does Shi Huan know that you are so affectionate?" ”

Li Jingyan's expression remained unchanged, as if there was not the slightest fluctuation, but his deep eyes became darker, like poured ink, so thick that he couldn't dissolve.

Smoke is slow.

Mu Sinian's smile also became empty: "You said, if Shi Huan didn't die a year ago, but was rescued, would she still be willing to stay by your side after she knew about you?" ”

The words are piercing.

The eyes are facing each other.

Li Jingyan pursed the corners of her lips and said casually: "I don't know if I want to, but there is no doubt that no matter what, she will not choose you, and you will not be able from beginning to end." ”

When the words fell, he raised his feet and was about to leave.

There was coldness in Mu Sinian's eyes.

"Jing Yan," he stopped him, stopped acting, and said coldly, "Nuan Nuan hasn't healed yet." ”

A year ago, on the third day after learning the news of Mu Shihuan's accident, he received Mu Nuan and was locked in the box on the top floor of Nanzhuang for three full days.

Until now, he still remembers her holding on to herself and saying over and over again that Li Jingyan must be responsible for her.

Charge......

Oh, Li Jingyan is indeed "responsible" for her.

A lawyer's letter warned that Han Ting was in charge of his reputation damage case and took Nuan Nuan to court, but Nuan Nuan insisted that Li Jingyan did have a relationship with her, almost in a state of madness.

At that time, he also felt that something was wrong, but at that time, the company was being bought shares, and Mu Hangyuan's henchmen in the company were also ready to move, and he threw himself on the company.

By the time he realized that things were out of control, it was too late, and finally he accepted the lawyer's advice, saying that Nuan Nuan was stimulated and her mental state was not good, and those rumors were not his intention.

And then ......

It was a decision he regretted to this day.

He didn't expect that Li Jingyan was waiting for him to step into this step, and after Nuan Nuan chose this "disease", she was forcibly sent to a psychiatric sanatorium for treatment, and that day happened to be the day when Mu Hangyuan "recovered" his consciousness and Li Jingyan became the second largest shareholder of Mu's......

For a month, Nuan Nuan stayed there for a month, and when she came out, she fell into the water the next day and had a high fever and lay on the hospital bed for a whole week.

After that, as a last resort, he sent her out of the country to recuperate.

Until now, he has not returned.

And Qiao Shuang, who is often with Nuan Nuan, the Qiao family behind her also lost projects one after another, and finally was forced to drive out of Qiao's house and cut off all financial resources.

Now he and the company ......

"Self-inflicted."

Except for indifference, the voice of other emotions overflowed from the man's thin lips.

Mu Sinian turned his back to him, and his expressionless face was extremely gloomy at the moment.

The air seemed to be stagnant.

When he flowed again, Li Jingyan was gone.

Mu Sinian was still standing in place, and at the end, he finally took a puff of cigarette, and he directly extinguished the cigarette butt with his fingertips.

"Huh." He sneered.

……

The box is close at hand.

Li Jingyan stood for a moment, and finally pushed the door open.
