Chapter 2 Umbrellas
Xiao Chen took a step back and distanced herself from Jiang You, her tone was defensive, "It doesn't matter." ”
"Really?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's just curiosity," Jiang You picked up the cup on the table, turned around, and took the water from the water dispenser, his tone was gentle, not hurried or slow, "I thought you were Liang Hao's girlfriend, it seems that I guessed wrong." ”
Jiang You poured water into all four cups in turn.
Xiao Chen's body relaxed, "I saw this on Weibo, netizens please ...... me"
"Netizen? Are you a big V? Jiang You turned his head and glanced at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled, "Don't count, it's only tens of thousands of fans, by the way, have you donated?" ”
"Donate?"
"Donated to Liang's father and Liang's mother, they rushed over from the countryside of Xinlong, Liang Hao is their only son, how do you say they will live in the future," Xiao Chen sighed, her face was filled with sadness, "Finally, I have cultivated a high-achieving student, or the top student in their city's college entrance examination, and his ability is also strong, and he began to lead the project in the second year of work, and the result is ......" Xiao Chen shook her head, she took out her mobile phone, "I'll send you the link?" ”
"Okay." Jiang You took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
After Jiang You added Xiao Chen's WeChat friend, Xiao Chen sent him the link.
"Crowdfunding, legal aid ......" Jiang You clicked on the link, and he softly read out the key words of the page, "Want to file a lawsuit with the company?" ”
"Xiaoxiao Technology only agreed to pay six months' salary, which is enough for his parents' future life."
Jiang You closed the page.
"Hey......" Xiao Chen saw Jiang You open the kitchen door, walked out of the kitchen with a cup in one hand, and walked in front of Liang's father and Liang's mother.
Liang's father and Liang's mother took the cup he handed over and looked up at him.
Jiang You sat down in front of them, "In March, Liang Hao paid me three months' rent, and I have a month's deposit here," he took out an envelope from his pants pocket, and he stuffed the envelope into Liang's father's hand, "You guys live here with peace of mind, Xiao Zou in the next room, when I met him this morning, I told him to let him go to live in my other room." ”
"Haozi, Hao......" his lips trembled, "Haozi he, he won't kill himself......"
Liang's mother shed tears, "During the Chinese New Year, he promised me that he would bring a daughter-in-law back next year......"
Xiao Chen walked out with two other glasses of water, she put the water on the table, took out a pack of tissues from her bag, and pulled out a piece.
Liang's mother took the tissue, she wiped her tears, "He, he has a good temperament since he was a child, and he has never ......been angry with others."
"A few years ago, he knew that I was alone, and he invited me to eat dumplings," Jiang You stood up, "I have something to do in the store, go back first, the back of the envelope is my mobile phone number, if you have something, contact me." ”
"Good, good ......"
"By the way, have you seen an umbrella, dark blue, which I left here the last time I came."
Liang's father and Liang's mother glanced at each other, and they shook their heads.
"Can I go to the balcony and look for it?"
Father Liang nodded subconsciously.
"I'll just take a look, and if I can't find it, forget it," Jiang You said as he opened the door and walked into Liang Hao's room.
The room was simply furnished, with a bed, a computer desk, and a cupboard with two open suitcases on the floor.
On the computer desk is a black-and-white photo of Liang Hao, and behind the frame is an urn.
Jiang You stepped over a pile of debris on the ground and walked to the balcony.
The line of sight quickly swept over the balcony floor and the clothes pole.
He saw a strand of hair wrapped around a hanger.
"Did you find it?"
Jiang You turned around, and Xiao Chen stood at the door looking at him. There was something strange in the eyes.
"Found it." He walked to the left side of the balcony and pulled out a dark blue folding umbrella from underneath the trellis. Then, he pushed away a shirt hanging on the hanger in front of him, walked back to the balcony door, he looked down at Xiao Chen, and asked, "Something?" ”
Xiao Chen looked at the umbrella in his hand, "It's okay." ”
Jiang You walked past her, he walked out of the room, and nodded to Liang's father and Liang's mother, "Then I'll go first." ”
Jiang You walked out of the house.
The door slammed shut.
Xiao Chen also walked out of the room, her eyes falling on the envelope in Liang's father's hand.
"Xiao Jiang is also a good person...... "Liang's father looked at the mobile phone number behind the envelope, "Haozi has this incident, I don't know if it will affect his house rental in the future." ”
Jiang You walked downstairs.
The clouds briefly obscured the sun. A gust of wind blew, and the branches and leaves swayed and rustled.
Jiang You took out his mobile phone, and while he walked towards the gate of the community, he opened the ride-hailing app and called a car.
As she approached the gate of the community, a girl with long black hair and a shirt and skirt walked into the community.
The length of the skirt falls above the knees and falls on the calves with graceful lines.
The mobile phone rang, Jiang You retracted his gaze, he pressed the call button and put the phone to his ear.
"Okay, I'm almost at the gate of the community, yes, it's the east gate.
They passed by.
There seemed to be strands of long hair running over his shoulders.
The girl stopped, turned around, and focused on the dark blue folding umbrella that Jiang You was holding in his hand.
She saw a yellow taxi parked at the entrance of the compound.
Jiang You pulled the car door and sat in the back seat. After the door closed, the taxi drove ahead and quickly disappeared from the girl's view.
The girl clenched the wooden knife in her hand.
After more than twenty minutes, the taxi stopped at the entrance of Culture Street.
Jiang You paid on the app and got out of the car.
The streets are a bit deserted on weekdays.
Jiang You walked slowly, and the location of the worm house was at the corner of the street, with a separate yard. Stepping into the courtyard and walking forward for about ten meters, he took out the key and opened the gate.
"It's late to open today."
A lazy female voice came from behind Jiang You.
Jiang You turned around, and a woman wearing a gray V-neck dress with her hair loosely tied behind her head dangled into the courtyard.
She is Chen Nan, the proprietress of a coffee shop on Culture Street.
Seeing that it was her, a smile appeared on Jiang You's face, "Sister Nan, it's so beautiful today, the newly bought dress?" “
"What's the matter, I've been buying it for several years, and this style is becoming popular again this year, so I'll find it and wear it."
"I couldn't wear the clothes I bought last year, and I grew as much meat as I could on my stomach."
Chen Nan walked up to Jiang You, she looked him up and down, "It's time for you to work out, how thin you were when you first came." Today's little girls all like six-pack abs. ”
"Yes, yes, it's going to lose weight." Jiang You echoed.
Chen Nan turned her head sideways, and she fanned the wind with her hand, "It's so hot, I'll bring you a cup of iced latte?" ”
"Put a packet of candy, I'll get it later, and I'll go to the police station in the morning to make a record."
"What did you do?"
"What can I do, the employee who committed suicide by jumping off the building of Xiaoxiao Company is my tenant."
"The coder? I saw it forwarded in my circle of friends. ”
Jiang You nodded, "His parents rushed over from home, just such an only son, it's so pitiful." ”
"That's right. These Internet high-tech companies sound good, they are all capitalists, making hard-earned money, and my daughter will never let her marry a programmer in the future, it's too bitter. In the future, your house will not be easy to rent. ”
"What's not good to rent, reduce the price, in two or three years, who remembers?"
"That's right."
After chatting with Jiang You for a few words, Chen Nan left.
Jiang You walked into the store, he turned on the light and put the umbrella on the long table. He looked left and right, bent down, and pulled a plastic bag from the shelf. Walking back to the table, he opened the umbrella and pulled a trace of long black hair from the handle.
He put his hair in a plastic bag and sealed it. Then he put away his umbrella, walked to the counter, and threw his umbrella and hair into a drawer.
He sat down in a soft chair behind the counter, his back resting heavily on the back of his chair. He let out a long sigh of relief.
