In fact, there is anything particularly urgent, but she sent a text message to Xi Zi'an in advance, asking the other party to call her when the point comes, so as to create a space for the two of them to be alone.

Finally escaping from that awkward atmosphere, Xi Xun went downstairs and took a few deep breaths of air, sorry, Qiaoqiao, I really can't stay in that kind of place, but it's okay, I hope you will like the "birthday gift" I prepared for you! ”

After Xi Xun left, the situation fell into an impasse again, Chen Xinyao didn't even know where to put her hand appropriately, and the person opposite kept staring at her, but didn't speak.

"That, I'm really sorry today, it's Xun'er who is too noisy, I'm really sorry for delaying your time." Chen Xinyao apologized to Zhong Ming and took the lead in breaking this peace.

"Hmm." Zhong Ming replied coldly, and did not show much reaction, but it made Chen Xinyao a little at a loss, and she didn't know how to answer.

As if seeing Chen Xinyao's discomfort, Zhong Ming looked away, he shifted his gaze to the cake on the table, and said, "I picked it casually, and the boss said that girls like this." ”

"Huh?" Chen Xinyao immediately followed the other party's line of sight, and arrived at the strawberry cake on the table, a little crying and laughing, the little girl the boss pointed out was afraid that she was a child, but it was already a luxury for the other party to buy a cake for herself, and she had no reason to dislike it.

"Thanks, I like it a lot, or eat a piece?" Chen Xinyao picked up the plastic knife and was about to cut a small piece on it, but she didn't see Zhong Ming frowning slightly.

Handing the cake to the other party with both hands, Zhong Ming hesitated for a few seconds, and saw that the other party's eyes were a little more expectant, so he took it and took a bite under the other party's gaze.

"It should taste good, right?" Although it is strawberry-flavored, the cake that Zhong Ming bought by himself is also everyone's work, and the price is expensive, so the taste is naturally not bad.

"Well, it's okay." Zhong Ming has never eaten cream, but since today is more special, he had to endure a few bites.

"Next time, when you buy a cake, you can buy the Black Forest or ice cream flavor, which is less greasy to eat!" Chen Xinyao forgot everything for a while, and talked about the cake with Zhong Ming without any sense of distance.

Seeing that Zhong Ming was stunned for a moment, listening to himself silently, Chen Xinyao suddenly felt that she was a little out of shape, and then she reacted, they have no future.

"Well, I mean the next time you're buying a cake for someone else!" Chen Xinyao deliberately emphasized it again, for fear that Zhong Ming would misunderstand what she meant.

"There won't be a next time." Zhong Ming didn't seem to give the other party a face-saving reply, and he didn't look like he couldn't chat at all, which really made Chen Xinyao angry and helpless.

Xu finally realized that his words were a little inappropriate, so Zhong Ming took the initiative to ask: "Did you go to the cemetery today?" ”

"Well, today is my father's death day, and it's also my birthday, so I rarely celebrate birthdays." Under Zhong Ming's gaze, Chen Xinyao continued to explain, "However, Xun'er, you know, she is my best friend, and in her eyes, her birthday is a very beautiful day, so she intends to help me celebrate, and I have become accustomed to her making noise for so many years." ”

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up." In fact, he went to the cemetery today, and after receiving a call from Xu Bo, saying that today was the day of the Gu family's accident, he rushed to the cemetery immediately.

It's just that when he arrived, it was already raining heavily, and he saw Chu Hefeng holding an umbrella for her in the rain from a distance, he wanted to go forward, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he simply gave up, came back early, and was drenched in the rain.

Fortunately, as soon as he arrived at home to change his clothes, Xi Zi'an called him, saying that Xi Xunren was missing and could not be found anywhere, so he asked him to help find it.

Since Xi Zi'an was still talking about business abroad at this time, and he was not in China, he strongly asked Zhong Ming to help him go to Chen Xinyao's apartment!

In the past, Xi Zi'an didn't dare to support Zhong Ming like this, he had always only been instructed, but Xi Xun cried and asked him to help him, he couldn't resist the girl's fierce request at all, so he had to compromise and agree hard.

I didn't expect Zhong Ming to speak so well today, and he didn't ask for extra words, so he easily agreed, it was too smooth to make Xi Zi'an feel a little scared, worried that Zhong Ming would fight back in a few days, and it would not be as simple as taking off a layer of skin at that time.

Chen Xinyao was even more surprised than the person concerned when she heard the other party say this, if she remembered correctly, this should be the first time the other party apologized to him.

"It's okay, this is a fact, there's nothing to avoid, I want to open it." Chen Xinyao pretended to be strong and didn't want to show the slightest weakness in front of the other party.

The more this is the case, the more inexplicable discomfort Zhong Ming's heart is, although he has always disliked the woman in front of him, but every time he sees the other party's sad appearance, he can't help but feel a little distressed and inexplicably irritable.

"Well, things are in the past, and the future is all that matters." Zhong Mingyun said such a sentence lightly, as if it was not him, Chen Xinyao suddenly felt that the person in front of her seemed to be a little different from the Zhong Ming she knew.

The rain outside the window finally became much lighter, and even slowly stopped, Zhong Ming got up and looked out the window, and inadvertently asked: "I heard that your father committed suicide due to the bankruptcy of the group, but why are you still unwilling to let go in the court?" ”

Zhong Ming didn't want to embarrass Chen Xinyao, he asked this, half out of curiosity, half out of a little bit to help the other party investigate the truth, he never liked to owe anyone.

If one day Chen Xinyao really said when she signed the agreement, she would not ask for a penny from him, then it would be okay for him to investigate the truth of the year for her and wash away the grievances of the Gu family.

"At that time, Gu's business has been going uphill, the financial statements are surplus every year, there is no such thing as bankruptcy, I always believe that things were not so simple back then, my father has been in business for many years, so he will not be so stupid, he will empty his own company for a so-called immigration!"

"You mean, the bankruptcy was due to a financial dispute?" Zhong Ming asked the weight of Chen Xinyao's words.

"Well, so to speak, someone is secretly manipulating and slandering my father for immigrating abroad, setting up Gu's company assets in China, causing the capital chain of those shareholders to break, everyone does not believe in our innocence, and even the bank's reputation has been affected by this, my father is desperate, and in desperation, he has embarked on the road of no return!"

When Chen Xinyao said this, her eyes were shining, and she had a little more firm forbearance, she must investigate the truth of the truth and clarify the facts for the Gu family.

"Are you still looking into what happened back then?" Zhong Ming listened to Chen Xinyao's various expressions, and could feel that the other party had never given up investigating this truth, so why had he not seen the other party take action since he came back?

Could it be that the other party is trying to hide something, and what is she trying to do? Who is the initial target?

"Well, it's been so long, and a lot of clues are hard to find, so some things can only wait and see." Chen Xinyao has always hidden something from Zhong Ming.

"Do you really think so?" Zhong Ming saw the flicker in Chen Xinyao's eyes, and immediately guessed the other party's thoughts, I am afraid that many things are not as simple as they seem.

Although he was still young, he was kidnapped today, the day of the Gu family's accident, and as for the specific memory, he couldn't remember it because of an accident.

Later, I was sent abroad by my grandfather for treatment, and I can remember a lot of memories, but the memory of that day was lost and I couldn't get it back.

The doctor said that it may be because the events of the day caused him a psychological shadow, causing his brain cells to selectively forget.

It's just that when I think about it today, it's really a coincidence, many things happened on the same day, looking at the whole city, I'm afraid there are not many people who can set off such a big storm.

A series of questions did not let Zhong Ming ask, he remained silent in a low voice, looking at the drizzle transformed outside the window, and fell into deep thought.
