Chapter 146: No See, No Other

Back in Kuanzhai Hutong, knowing that she had come back from class early, she was sitting on a chair idly looking at the notes she took in class, and she looked very seriously, and Bai He didn't notice when she walked into the house.

"Class ends so early today?" Bai He saw her and said casually.

"Huh?" Zhi looked up, "Miss, you're back." Thirsty or not? I'm going to pour you a glass of water. ”

Bai He waved his hand and said no, and let her continue to be busy with her. She sat down at the table and took out a few pieces of paper that she had secretly stuffed into her handbag and spread them out on the table to flatten them.

Curious, he craned his neck to look at it, walked over and asked what it was?

Bai He didn't say anything, just arranged a few pieces of paper, she raised her eyes and looked at it, and asked her to help see what the content was different.

She looked at it in a daze, and after seeing the content clearly, she was stunned, "Miss......"

"Don't ask, take a good look." Bai He patted her gently.

Zhi pursed her lips and looked at it seriously, but she couldn't see anything, and there was no difference in the content.

"Miss, I can't see it." Zhizhi shook his head and said.

Bai He sighed and muttered to himself, "I can't see it either." ”

On each piece of paper, everyone's confession is similar, nothing more than what 'I' was doing at the time, what happened suddenly, what kind of argument I had with the other person, and what 'I' was doing when I finally caught fire.

It's about the same thing, except that 'I' am not the same person.

And most of what these people said can match the scene at that time, so Bai He is even more suspicious, is it the wrong direction she is looking for, or is the third aunt's memory wrong?

Can't find clues in the old files, so what should she do next?

Bai He twisted his eyebrows and pondered, and then went to find the third aunt? But she has made it clear that she will not tell Bai He who the other party is, she wants to bring the truth into the coffin, and if Bai He asks again, she probably won't get anything useful. In fact, the psychology of the third aunt is not difficult to understand, since the fire, the Bai family is like a small wooden boat floating on the sea, but if there is a little wind and waves, it will sway, it may capsize at any time, if Bai He knows that it was any one of the Bai family who set the fire, she will definitely not let go of that person, then the Bai family's boat will first disintegrate from the inside.

For those who are a little older, especially those who have lived through turbulent times, home is everything, and home is more important than their net worth and life. The third aunt is this kind of person, no matter how good her relationship with Bai He's mother Lin Zhuyin is, she can't let the family break up for Lin Zhuyin. After all, Lin Zhuyin is dead, and no matter how much she pursues the past, she can't be brought back to life, so it's better to leave it at that. The dead can't come back, and the living still have to live a good life.

The third aunt can think so, but Bai He can't.

As long as she thought that the real murderer would be someone from the Bai family, she was so angry that she wanted to go crazy!

No matter who that person is, he has lived a comfortable life with peace of mind in the past few years, not only Bai He is working hard to make money to support him, but also Zhu Dongfeng has put a black cauldron on his back.

From the past to the present, Bai He has always hated this, someone killed her mother, but she can still stand in front of her without changing her face and watch her sleepless at night because of the loss of her mother, heartbroken.

For this reason, Bai He must also find out the real culprit.

However, it is not easy to find the real culprit, especially since more than three years have passed since this incident, and nothing can be seen from the old files, so it can be said that Bai He was stumped in the first step.

She frowned and shook the few pieces of paper, thinking that it would not be possible to rely on her own to find estimates, it was best to find those debt collectors back then, maybe they could say something different.

However, those debt collectors back then, as Li Yan said, fled after the incident, and if they wanted to find them, they were looking for a needle in a haystack.

It is estimated that it is still a little possible for Zhu Dongfeng to come forward, after all, those are all people who have a relationship with him.

Can......

Bai He lay on the table with a headache, knowing what she thought was uncomfortable.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm in a bad mood, just lie down for a while. Leave me alone. ”

Zhi looked at the top of Bai He's head, sighed, and said, "Then I'm going to make dinner, I bought a few small yellow croakers to fry them." "After that, I went to pack the fish.

Bai He lay on the table for more than half an hour and finally made up his mind, and called Zhu Dongfeng later and asked him to meet tomorrow. Although Bai He has always wanted to explain things to him after the truth is revealed, it is obvious that Bai He's ability is not enough, she needs help, and she thought about it again, the taste of carrying the black pot is not comfortable, she should let Zhu Dongfeng know as soon as possible that her mother's death is not directly related to him.

However, thinking about it this way, to put it into action requires a little psychological construction for Bai He.

During the meal, she was absent-minded throughout the whole process, eating without a bite, rehearsing herself in advance, thinking about what to say when she called him later, how to naturally ask him to meet, and if he said that he could say something on the phone, how to refuse indifferently.

In the past, Bai He didn't have to think about these things at all, but now it doesn't work, so much has happened between the two of them, and a lot of things have to be said carefully.

Bai He's frowning and eating made Zhili fall into self-doubt, because she felt that the crispy fried yellow croaker and hot and sour shredded potatoes she made were delicious, and the winter melon and shrimp soup was also delicious, even if it was not as good as a professional cook, it would not make Bai He's expression so painful.

She bit her chopsticks and looked at them for a while, then hesitated and said, "Miss, don't you like to eat small yellow croaker?" She remembered that when she was in the Bai family, there were often steamed small yellow croakers on the table, the small yellow croaker was tender and tender, and the white lotus loved to eat it. Has the taste changed? Or do you only like steaming and not frying?

Of course not.

"I'm just thinking about things." Bai He smiled, took a small yellow croaker and put it in the bowl.

Zhi nodded, and said with a smile I remember that Miss likes to eat small yellow croaker.

Bai He took a bite of the crispy fishtail, looked at her twice, and asked, "Got it, let me ask you a question." ”

"Hmm." Knowing that he bit the head of the fish in response, his eyes blinked.

"If you misunderstand that someone did something they didn't actually do, what would you do if you knew the truth?"

Knowing this, he immediately replied, "Apologize." ”

"Except for apologizing?" Zhu Dongfeng doesn't like to hear others apologize to him.

"Hmm......" thought about it, and said that it depends on what the misunderstanding is, and it depends on what kind of relationship I have with him.

Bai He said: "It's a big, big misunderstanding, you have a very, very close relationship with him, and you broke up because of this misunderstanding, and you don't get along with each other anymore." ”

Zhi nodded, and muttered to himself: "It's so serious...... That apology may not be useful. ”

"Really?" Bai He thought so, she said so many ruthless and mean words to Zhu Dongfeng to sarcastically mock him, and asked him again and again not to bother herself again, how could she erase everything with just three words 'I'm sorry'? But what can she say without apologizing?

"It's useless to apologize, but it's not okay not to apologize." Knowing that this was a difficult question to answer, she could only say, "In addition to apologizing, I may do something else to make amends, right?" ”

Bai He asked, "Do something else?" What the? ”

Zhi said sincerely: "Make him a cow and a horse." ”

“…… What if he is rich and there is no shortage of cattle and horses for him? "Even if Bai He goes to make cattle and horses for Zhu Dongfeng, he is not as professional as those servants in his mansion.

"That ......" was speechless, and after a while, he said: "That's really troublesome." ”

Bai He, who was originally annoyed, was amused by her strange tone, and when she saw her laughing, she laughed too, and said: "Miss, don't think too much, I wish Mr. Zhu likes Miss so much, no matter what the misunderstanding is, I will definitely forgive Miss." ”

Bai He looked at her and said with a smile: "Ghost spirit spirit! ”

Not long after dinner, Bai He glanced at the time and picked up the phone to call Zhu Mansion.

She was a little nervous, her palms were covered with a layer of sweat, so she took a handkerchief to her, and cheered her on the side, which made her nervous and funny.

The call was answered by Zhu Xing, who asked who it was, and asked twice.

Bai He was stuck for several seconds before he said the words "I am Bai He".

Zhu Xing knew when he heard her voice, and was silent for a long time very subtly, and asked, "Are you looking for Mr.?" ”

“…… yes, is he busy? Bai He could tell that Zhu Xing was not very happy.

"What are you looking for him? Maybe I can help you convey that. ”

Bai He subconsciously shook his head, "No, I wish I could tell him myself." ”

Zhu Xing's voice was lowered, and his tone was cold: "Sir's mood has improved recently, if you don't have anything very important, I hope the call can end here." ”

"No, I have something very important." Bai He said firmly.

Zhu Xing was silent again, and after a while, Bai He suddenly heard Zhu Dongfeng's voice coming from a little farther away: "Who called?" ”

“…… Sir, it's Miss Bai. "Please net

There was another long silence, Bai He's fingers unconsciously wrapped around the telephone line, her heart beat extremely fast, and the voice of wishing the east wind suddenly sounded in her ears.

"White lotus?"

“…… It's me. Bai He replied softly.

Zhu Dongfeng's tone sounded the same as in the past, "Looking for me?" ”

"I ......" Bai He hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to ask if you have time tomorrow? I'd like to meet you. ”

"Meet?" Zhu Dongfeng was a little surprised, but he didn't ask the reason, and directly agreed: "Yes, I'm free at any time." There was a laugh in his voice.

Bai He whispered: "Then tomorrow at one o'clock in the afternoon, at the Ruby Western Restaurant." ”

"Okay, see you soon."

Bai He was stunned, bit his lip and said, "See you and leave." ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhu Dongfeng smiled, Zhu Xing looked at him from the side and said, "Sir, are you going to see Miss Bai tomorrow?" You've got it all scheduled for tomorrow. ”

"It's just a meal with Wen Zhaolun, just push it back." I wish Dongfeng didn't care.

"So, okay?" Anan was a little hesitant, Wen Zhaolun had been trying to find Zhu Dongfeng to sit down and have a good chat some time ago, Zhu Dongfeng had been busy and didn't give him a chance, and he had already pushed him three times, Wen Zhaolun already felt that he was not very happy to have no face, and he would push it again after agreeing to it for the fourth time, I am afraid that Wen Zhaolun will not forgive.

"It's nothing good, just say that I have something to do temporarily." Zhu Dongfeng hooked half of the corners of his mouth, "He did everything possible to avoid me before, but I didn't say anything." Now it's his turn, what can he do to me even if I deliberately don't go? If he doesn't give me face, I will suffer, and if I don't give him face, of course he will have to bear it. That's fair. ”

Anan thought about it, "Then I'll inform him tomorrow at noon." ”

"Don't be so early, half an hour early, let him relax a little more."

“…… Yes sir. ”

After telling him, Zhu Dongfeng went upstairs in a good mood, but Zhu Xing began to sigh again.

Anan stared at her suspiciously, and Zhu Xing sat at the top of the stairs with empty eyes: "Mr. is going to see the surnamed Bai tomorrow, and they are going to reconcile." ”

“…… How do you know? Can you predict the future? ”

"I can feel it!" Zhu Xing said that Bai He's tone of voice was completely different from before, and she must have thought of her husband and came to make peace!

Anan nodded suspiciously, "Isn't that great?" ”

Zhu Xing looked at him in surprise, "Where's the good?" Did she think Mr. was something? If you want it, if you don't want it, don't want it! Why is she? What is she? ”

"Be quiet!" Anan looked upstairs and said, "The reason why you think so is because you don't know what happened. ”

"Can I understand? You won't tell me! But no matter what happened, in short, she broke up with her husband, so she shouldn't bother him again. ”

Anan said, "But I think Mr. would be happy to be disturbed by Miss Bai. ”

Zhu Xing glared at him fiercely.

"Okay, it's Mr.'s own business, don't worry about him anymore, what Mr. says we can do, this is our job."

Of course, Zhu Xing knew what she had to do, but she just felt uncomfortable.

If Bai He could follow Zhu Dongfeng and be with him all the time, Zhu Xing would admit her even if he was sad, but Bai He couldn't, how many things did she toss, how much unnecessary trouble she added to Zhu Dongfeng, and after the breakup, she quickly found a man again, and she also made trouble and needed Zhu Dongfeng to save her. Such a woman who is good for nothing but good-looking, Zhu Xing really can't accept her.

"Ugh." But what's the use of Zhu Xingjie not accepting it, she is not Zhu Dongfeng.

"Is it true that there is no room for other women in the eyes of the gentleman?"

Anan said you go and ask sir.

Zhu Xing rolled his eyes at him.

"It's best if there is any emergency tomorrow, so that Mr. and the surname Bai can't meet!"

“…… Emergencies usually don't come well, so you might as well hope for something good. Anan said helplessly.

"Cut." Zhu Xing ignored him and looked forward to it very sincerely.

Because I was going to meet with Zhu Dongfeng the next day, Bai He didn't sleep well at night, I got up early to see that she didn't have much energy, and I made her a bowl of wine-stuffed balls to eat, and after eating, Bai He felt warm and warm on his body, especially sleepy, and wanted to sleep.

Knowing that, let her go to sleep again, and tell her to wake up at noon. She just didn't have to go to class today.

Bai He originally wanted to go to the country in the morning to have a look, after all, she hadn't passed for a few days, but this bowl of wine-stuffed balls really couldn't open her eyes, so she gave up the idea of going out, went upstairs and went to sleep again, so don't forget to call her.

I knew how I might forget, I kept staring at the alarm clock, and when it was almost twelve o'clock, I went to call Bai He up and help her get dressed.

Bai He's spirit was much better this time, and she was not so nervous, so she asked her if she wanted to pad her stomach before going, anyway, there was still time.

Bai He shook his head and said let's eat it there.

"Then miss, bring an umbrella, I'm looking at the south and it's overcast."

After dressing up, Bai He looked in the mirror again, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him from head to toe, he went out with his handbag.

I found that I forgot to take the umbrella, chased it out, and the rickshaw ran away early.

When she arrived at the Ruby Western Restaurant, there were still ten minutes before the scheduled time, Bai He didn't see the familiar car at the door, she went in and found a place where she could see the clock hanging on the wall and sat down, and ordered a cup of coffee first.

I don't know if it's psychological factors or other reasons, Bai He felt that the hands of the clock were moving very slowly, and she looked up after a long time, and only three minutes had passed.

Just waited so tormentedly, and when the hands stopped at the "1", Bai He turned her head to look at the door, and through the glass she only saw the wide road, and the road was full of traffic.

"Waiter." Bai He raised his hand and asked, "May I ask if the clock in your restaurant is on time?" ”

The waiter smiled and said, "Hello Miss, our clocks are accurate." ”

"Oh good, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Bai He smiled reluctantly, turned her head and glanced at the door again, she retracted her gaze and looked at the coffee, remembering what Zhu Dongfeng said in person, "See you and leave".

Is he making fun of himself by saying that?

But his tone at the time sounded clearly serious.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon that the two had made an appointment, why didn't he show up?

Bai He pursed her lips tightly, she thought that maybe Zhu Dongfeng was delayed for a while, or he was late, he was a person who didn't like to wait for people but liked to make people wait, maybe he should wait patiently for a while, Zhu Dongfeng should be there soon.

Just comforted himself, Bai He waited, waited, waited, waited.

At half past one, I wish the east wind did not come; At two o'clock, I wish the east wind did not come; At half past two, I wish the east wind did not come, and at three o'clock, I wish the east wind did not come......

Bai He waited until nine o'clock in the evening, waiting for one downpour after another, and her coffee was changed cup after cup, and Zhu Dongfeng still didn't come.

"I'm sorry miss, our restaurant is closing." The waiter apologized and brought a small cake as an apology gift.

"It doesn't matter. Thank you. Bai He settled the bill and walked out of the Ruby Western Restaurant with a small cake.

The pouring rain turned into a dripping light rain at this time, and Bai He looked up at the dark and rich sky, and raised his feet and walked into the rain.

The rickshaw could not be stopped on a rainy day, so Bai He had to walk back with small leather shoes on stilettos, and slowly the rain became heavier and heavier, and soon Bai He couldn't hear anything in his ears, only the harsh sound of rain falling.

She was soaked from head to toe, her feet hurt and her legs hurt, her face hurt from the rain, and her eyes hurt.

knew that he greeted her with an umbrella, and looked at her like this, and he was distressed.
