In the torrential rain in the dark night, his white and slender hands came with a large black umbrella that could protect him from the wind and rain.

The black umbrella blocked the raindrops overhead, and Shi Jia looked at Xu Zhiheng's face in front of him through his wet eyelashes.

Even in the thick of the night, she could see what this face looked like, and she had even figured out his bones, and she could draw his outline with her eyes closed.

She wanted to speak, but her throat was dry and her mind went blank.

Xu Zhiheng stood side by side beside her, holding an umbrella with one hand and putting the other in his trouser pocket, his tall body blocking the wind blowing from the north for Shi Jia.

The two men stood like this, neither of them moving, neither of them speaking.

In the car not far away, Lu Jinyou's eyes filled with tears, his hands grabbed the steering wheel, and his nails were deeply pinched into his palms-

The torrential rains in the south come and go as fast as they come.

Xu Zhiheng silently put away the umbrella and shook off the rain on the umbrella, and Qin Dongmin, the co-pilot, hurriedly took the umbrella, and he noticed that half of the boss's clothes were already wet.

Xu Zhiheng ignored Qin Dongmin and strode into the car.

Seeing the car go away, the unsheltered wind instantly wrapped Shi Jia.

She learned that the wind was cold.

Xu Zhiheng's sudden charity care made her feel scared-

The ride-hailing car finally arrived within a few minutes after the rain stopped, and Shi Jia returned home at nearly eleven o'clock, washed up and went to sleep.

The next day, I got up a little dizzy, my ankle was swollen a little less than yesterday, she went to the company after sending Shi'an to school, and received a strange call in the morning.

"Jiajia, I'm Jinyou." On the phone, Lu Jinyou whispered, "Can I ask you to meet?" ”

"I have work today, and I can't keep busy."

"Then I'll go to your company to find you?"

Shi Jia frowned, knowing that Lu Jinyou came prepared this time, she had nowhere to hide, "No need, I'll come to you." ”

——

In a Cantonese restaurant near Beijiang Park, Shi Jia and Lu Jinyou sat opposite each other.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered a few of the store's signature dishes, can you try them?" Lu Jin greeted with a smile.

There are several Cantonese dishes with local characteristics on the table, and Lu Jinyou has always been meticulous in her work, and sometimes it even makes people feel that she is too concerned about the feelings of others and wronged herself.

"You came here from Shanghai, I should do my best to be a landlord." Shi Jia said.

Lu Jinyou raised her hand to tuck the hair hanging down her cheeks behind her ears, and her long, straight black hair made her look as beautiful as a recognized goddess on campus.

"Do we have anything to say about each other? If you really want to calculate it, our family owes you and Uncle Shi a lot, if it wasn't for the accident back then, maybe-"

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Shi Jia interrupted Lu Jinyou with a smile, she didn't want to mention the past anymore.

Lu Jinyou was like a frightened deer, her watery eyes were full of self-blame, and she quickly adjusted herself and said with a smile: "Nothing special." Last time, I said I was going to ask you for dinner, but I didn't have time because the time was full. I'm going back to Shanghai with Brother Zhiheng this afternoon, and I don't know when I will be able to come to Qingyuan next time, so I want to come and see you before leaving. By the way, I apologize to Brother Zhiheng for the incident the day before yesterday, he was too impulsive. ”

Shi Jia frowned and stared at Lu Jinyou, looking at her like a stranger.

Lu Jinyou continued: "I believe there must be a misunderstanding in this. Before coming to Qingyuan, I tried my best to explain to Brother Zhiheng, but you also know that Brother Zhiheng has always been sensitive to your past, and I can't persuade him. ”

said that he was aggrieved.

Shi Jia was not short of patience, but in the face of the old friend in front of her, she was inexplicably irritable, "We will deal with the matter between me and Xu Zhiheng, you don't have to get involved to affect your relationship." ”

"I came to you today to hide from Brother Zhiheng, the two of you are good friends from childhood to adulthood, although your identities are different now, but the past love is still there, I don't want to see you two like enemies."

"You should know in your heart that there are some things you can't do."

Lu Jin's eyes suddenly turned red, "I admit it, I really can't ease the relationship between you." You and Brother Zhiheng are both victims, and they are both unwilling. But I'm really- I'm really sad to see you guys like this, during this time I always thought that maybe I should try a little harder, and persuade Brother Zhiheng not to mind the past anymore, so that he can fulfill you and the father of the child. Even if you have done something sorry for him, we have been good friends for many years after all, as long as we each let go of our pride, we can leave behind the old mustard and go back to the beginning. ”

Lu Jin choked up, crying and complaining, which was even more distressing.

It's just that these are like dense needles poking her heart in Shi Jia's ears.

She smiled, bit her dry lips, suddenly smiled again, and then looked at Lu Jinyou, "Jinyou, you and I are not the memory of three-year-old children, love and hate are common feelings of enemies, you want to whitewash the peace, but the truth is that we can't go back." If you really care about our past relationship, please don't come to me again, and I won't appear in front of you. ”

"You're still complaining about my dad, are you?"

Shi Jia's smile froze, she was not a generous person, and she didn't want to distort her true thoughts in her heart, so she replied to Lu Jinyou coldly: "You're right, I will never forgive your father." ”

"Jiajia, I'm sorry-" Lu Jinyou's eyes were hazy with tears, "I apologize to you for my father, he really didn't deliberately push your father downstairs back then, he just couldn't get angry that Uncle Xu wanted to fire him from the company, and it took too much wine to make a mistake that caused your father to fall into a vegetative state." ”

"Say no more!" Shi Jia stood up on the table and calmly accepted Lu Jinyou's apology, "If you don't have anything else, let's say goodbye." ”

She turned around and walked away, walking with a slight limp due to a foot injury.

Lu Jin hurriedly stood up and called her, choked up, "Jiajia, you have to take care of yourself and your children!" I must live happily with that person! ”

Shi Jia paused and limped out of the restaurant.

Lu Jinyou returned to the hotel in a good mood, pushed open the door and saw a figure standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, and was startled, and was very happy to see that it was Xu Zhiheng.

"Brother Zhiheng, how do you know that I live here?" Lu Jinyou ran to the side of the bed, with her hands behind her back, her expression innocent like a child.

Xu Zhiheng looked down at the road outside the hotel, and his eyes fell on one of the trees, "Why don't you tell me when you come to Qingyuan?" ”

"I don't want to disturb your work, I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble."

Xu Zhiheng looked at it for a long time before retracting his gaze, raised his hand to sort out the cuffs on his wrist, "I asked Dongmin to buy you a ticket from Baiyun Airport to Shanghai in the afternoon, pack your things and go back." ”

Lu Jinyou's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Will you go back with me?" ”

"There's still work to be done here, so I'll go back when I'm done."

"Okay then, I'll go back to Shanghai and wait for you first." Lu Jinyou glanced at Xu Zhiheng cautiously, knowing that he was cold and didn't like people who talked a lot, but he still mustered up the courage to speak, "Brother Zhiheng, I just went to see Jiajia." ”

Xu Zhiheng's action of arranging his cuffs froze for half a second, and he turned his eyes to look at Lu Jinyou, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, "What are you looking for her to do?" ”

"Reminisce, apologize, send blessings!"

Lu Jin's words are concise and to the point, but Xu Zhiheng can understand the meaning of these words.

Lu Jinyou continued to share, "I haven't seen Jiajia for more than five years, and we talked a lot about the past when we met this time, although there were some unpleasant things in the middle, but we all let go of a lot after chatting just now. I also know that it may not be possible for Jia Jia to let go of her hatred for my father completely, but I will try my best to get her forgiveness. Fortunately, she is very happy now, with a man who loves her and loves her, and a cute and smart son, otherwise I don't know how to face her in my life. ”

Xu Zhiheng began to tidy up the other cuff with a cold expression, his brows were pressed very low, and his voice was low, "You don't need to tell me in detail about what you talked about." ”

"But—we talked about you, too."

Xu Zhiheng raised his eyes and condensed Lu Jinyou.

"Jiajia hopes I can persuade you not to mind the past again." Lu Jin pursed his lips, his bright eyes staring at Xu Zhiheng's expression, "Brother Zhiheng, are you still blaming Jiajia?" ”

Xu Zhiheng looked back at Lu Jinyou, who lowered his head by his cold and sharp gaze.

He closed one eye slightly, his eyes were calm, and he opened his mouth with a smile, "I don't hold grudges." ”

Lu Jinyou felt a pain in his heart.

I heard Xu Zhiheng say: "But I am jealous of Shijia." ”

Lu Jin hurriedly raised her eyes, and met Xu Zhiheng's cold gaze, she hurriedly said, "Shouldn't I go to her?" I-I just want the three of us to stop hating each other-"

Xu Zhiheng said coldly: "The debt between you and her and the debt between her and me cannot be measured on the same scale from beginning to end. Don't be a peacemaker, there are some things you can't do alone. ”

Lu Jinyou was frightened by Xu Zhiheng, this was the first time he spoke to himself in such a heavy tone, "Brother Zhiheng, did I do something wrong?" If you think I'm doing something wrong, you tell me that I won't do it again next time. ”

"You're a smart man, you know what I'm trying to say without me having to figure it out. If you don't understand, I can say it one last time. Xu Zhiheng stared at Lu Jinyou's nervous face with clear eyes, "None of you have the right to interfere in my affairs with Shi Jia, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Xu Zhiheng sorted out the cuffs and checked that the folded size on both sides was exactly the same, before turning around and walking towards the door, he paused for two seconds when he opened the door, and then looked back slightly and reminded Lu Jinyou: "Also, don't be in front of my father." ”

After he finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Lu Jin standing stiffly in place.

has been by Xu Zhiheng's side for so many years, Lu Jinyou knows that he is not a tactful person, and there is no gentleness in his personality. But his last words still hurt her like she had never felt before.

Why would two people say the same thing to themselves?

In the eyes of these two people, they are so incompetent?

Thinking of the scene he saw in the rain last night, Lu Jinyou felt even more aggrieved in his heart.
