"I'd like to meet you, downstairs from your company."

Yao Zhiyue hung up the phone, crossed her hands on her bag, her bloodshot eyes were a little empty, and she clearly looked at the pedestrians coming and going in front of her, but the focus was blurred.

After a while, Chen Yiming walked out of the office building, and the moment he saw Yao Zhiyue, a faint surprise appeared on his eyebrows. It seems that she hasn't seen her for more than ten days, how did she lose weight like this?

Chen Yiming walked over quietly, and Yao Zhiyue was still immersed in her world, not realizing that Chen Yiming was standing beside her at this time.

Chen Yiming glanced at Yao Zhiyue silently, in a state without makeup, he knew that he was in a hurry before going out. His face was pale and haggard, especially the apricot eyes, as if a beam of light had been stolen, not only blood-red and terrifying, but also no longer the luster of the past. And the face that was so thin that it seemed that only a pointed chin remained, showing tiredness.

Chen Yiming coughed, Yao Zhiyue was startled, and finally came back to her senses, glanced at Chen Yiming, there was no expression on his face, and he looked indifferent and cold.

Chen Yiming frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Where's Kangrou?"

Chen Yiming's eyebrows were slightly raised, a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his tone instantly became cold, "You came here to inquire about this matter that has nothing to do with you?" ”

Yao Zhiyue glanced at Chen Yiming, not shocked or angry, so calm that Chen Yiming seemed to feel like a different person. But she hesitated for a moment, then took out an old envelope from her bag and handed it to Chen Yiming, "Look at it." ”

Chen Yiming looked at Yao Zhiyue inquiringly, the curiosity in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he took the envelope and opened it. A few minutes later, he returned the things to Yao Zhiyue, his expression was solemn, and there was a trace of anger on his eyebrows, "Where did you get these things?" ”

Yao Zhiyue looked directly into Chen Yiming's eyes and replied lightly: "This is a letter from my father to my mother." ”

Looking at Yao Zhiyue's serious expression, the shock in Chen Yiming's eyes flashed, and his mind went blank for a moment, and then he quickly sorted out the information - how could it be so coincidental!

Yao Zhiyue looked directly at Chen Yiming's gaze, saw the subtle change in his expression, and blurted out in his heart: "Haven't you been thinking of a way to deal with that woman?" This is a huge breakthrough. ”

"This is just speculation, not enough physical evidence. And it's been more than ten years......"

Without waiting for Chen Yiming to finish speaking, Yao Zhiyue said with emotion: "Didn't we finally find Kang Rou's whereabouts through all kinds of speculations before?" You have a way, right? She used to be called Lin Qiyao, you know! ”

Chen Yiming's brows furrowed, and his hands in his pockets were clenched into fists, trying his best to restrain his impulse.

Yao Zhiyue looked at Chen Yiming's unmoved appearance, her heart suddenly sank, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, haven't you always longed to get justice for your mother?" ”

"That was before."

Yao Zhiyuexing's eyes widened, and she looked at Chen Yiming in disbelief, anger and helplessness tugged at her chest at the same time, and she roared, "What kind of ecstasy did you take that woman?" She is the third party who destroys your parents' marriage and family, and she is the murderer who killed your mother! You ......"

The sharp edge of Chen Yiming's eyes turned into cold ice, and the contour lines of his resolute face trembled slightly, and he abruptly interrupted Yao Zhiyue's words, "Stop!" Didn't you just want to borrow my hand to get rid of that woman? ”

Yao Zhiyue looked at Chen Yiming in a daze, her already bloodshot eyes became more and more red, and she said word by word: "We have a common enemy, so I came to find your alliance." After a pause, she calmed down and asked puzzledly, "Why did you let her go?" ”

Chen Yiming has regained his former calm, but his deep eyes are like the bottom of the sea, and it seems that the more turbulent the seabed, the more calm the sea level. I heard him quietly drop a sentence, "No comment." ”

Yao Zhiyue's anger was burning, his chest rose and fell violently, and he said angrily to Chen Yiming's back: "Even if I don't have you, I will have a way." ”

Yao Zhiyue left Chen Yiming's company and sat on the bus, as if all the strength of her body had been drained. Why was Chen Yiming suddenly indifferent?

From his perseverance in finding her, to obtaining news through various channels she could not have imagined, and even to fighting with his father, all this shows his determination not to give up until he achieves his goal. It's only been about ten days since she left Italy early, what happened in between?

Yao Zhiyue suddenly perked up, got off the bus quickly when the bus stopped at the platform, took out her mobile phone from her bag, opened the address book, and the first in line was Li Chenghao.

She hesitated for a while, took a deep breath and dialed Li Chenghao's mobile phone number. When hearing his familiar and unfamiliar voice, Yao Zhiyue felt a complicated feeling in her heart, and there was a faint resentment.

"Well, just arrived today." Yao Zhiyue glanced at the time on the screen of her mobile phone and said, "Can we meet during the lunch break?" Find a random restaurant near your office. ”

Yao Zhiyue hung up the phone and walked to the bus stop opposite to wait for the bus. Almost forty minutes later, she was already near the office building of Ruida Group, just in time for her commute.

Li Chenghao talked to Yao Zhiyue while walking out of the office building. When he saw Yao Zhiyue, he waved at her, and still smiled warmly and kindly at her.

Yao Zhiyue followed Li Chenghao into a restaurant and sat down by the window. After handing the menu to the waiter, the two looked at each other, and unconsciously felt a trace of embarrassment and restraint.

Yao Zhiyue felt a dull pain in her chest, and lowered her eyelids to avoid Li Chenghao's gaze. But seeing this, Li Chenghao was slightly stunned, and then asked gently: "Are you okay lately?" ”

Yao Zhiyue didn't know how to answer? Obviously, in this city, he is the person who makes her feel at ease the most. However, when facing him now, he has deep concerns. A sense of sadness instantly shattered Yao Zhiyue's heart, almost making her cry.

"It's okay." Yao Zhiyue replied simply, and when she mustered up the courage to raise her eyes to look at Li Chenghao again, she saw that he was also avoiding her gaze.

Yao Zhiyue remembered his affectionate confession when he was in Italy, but it seemed to be just a dream of Cinderella at midnight. She doesn't know if Li Chenghao forgot or regretted it?

Yao Zhiyue remembered her question, took a deep breath, and tried her best to make her voice appear calm and natural, "After I returned from Italy, how did Chen Yiming and them deal with Kang Rou's affairs?" ”

Li Chenghao glanced at Yao Zhiyue meaningfully, and replied gently: "The day after you left, Kang Rou returned to China with us. When I was at the airport, the chairman took Kang Rou away alone, and I don't know what to do with it. ”

Li Chenghao quietly paid attention to the change in Yao Zhiyue's expression, took a sip of water, and asked in a smooth voice, "What's wrong?" Isn't your cooperation with Yiming over? ”

Yao Zhiyue nodded, hesitated for a while, and briefly said that she went to Chen Yiming's company to find him in the morning, and of course ignored the fact that she persuaded Chen Yiming to join forces with her but failed.

"I'm just a little curious, didn't it take a lot of trouble for their father and son to find Kang Rou, why did they let her go so quickly?"

Li Chenghao's expression was obviously stunned, and he was puzzled: "Let her go?" ”

Yao Zhiyue realized that she had slipped out, concealed her faint panic, and explained: "I listened to what Chen Yiming said. ”

Li Chenghao thought thoughtfully, "According to my understanding of Yiming, if he wants to do something, unless there is a reason why he has to give up, the nine cows will not be able to pull it back." But having said that, Kang Rou leaked the trade secrets of Ruida Group, and the core interests of the chairman can be affected the most. ”

Yao Zhiyue was aware of the entanglement between Chen Yiming and Kang Rou, but it was inconvenient to explain it to Li Chenghao. She deduces from limited information in her mind.

Since the death of Song Minjing, the relationship between the father and son of the Chen family has fallen into a tense stalemate. And Kang Rou violated their common interests this time, and neither of them should let her go.

From the meaning of Kang Rou's words last time, I guessed that there should be a bundle of interests between her and Chen Songling, even if Chen Songling has the intention to protect Kang Rou at this level, but as Li Chenghao said, Chen Yiming will definitely not give Chen Songling this face.

However, why is Chen Yiming uncharacteristically indifferent this time? It is said that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and there must be something strange in the middle.

Seeing that Yao Zhiyue didn't speak, Li Chenghao smiled casually and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Yao Zhiyue came back to her senses, and when she saw Li Chenghao's gentle and peaceful handsome face, that indescribable uncomfortable feeling swept over again. She heard Song Lingling say that if it is two people who really love each other, Xiao Bei will be inseparable after reuniting, like two pieces of dog skin paste sticking together.

Her parables may not be elegant, but they are true. And now, there is only politeness left between her and Li Chenghao, and there is a clearly visible boundary between each other, and no one dares to cross half a step.

Yao Zhiyue doesn't know, will Li Chenghao be like her, sometimes cold in winter, sometimes clear in the sky? If she was attracted by his gentleness before, but now she is annoyed with his silence, so that she can't see through his thoughts.

Li Chenghao sneered, "Why are you looking at me like this, is there something on my face?" ”

Yao Zhiyue averted her gaze, suddenly felt tasteless, hesitated for a moment, her tone revealed a sense of exhaustion, and said softly: "Chenghao, I remember telling you when I was in Italy, when the matter is over, do I have something to tell you?" ”

In the end, she couldn't calm down to face the problem first, her temperament has never been the kind of sitting still, and it is wisest to have a long pain than a short pain.

Li Chenghao nodded slightly. Yao Zhiyue chuckled, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, no longer felt so restrained, and said, "I'm really happy to let you like it." It's just that the person you like may not be me, and the person who suits me is not you. ”

There was a clear trace of relief between Li Chenghao's eyebrows, "I understand what you mean." ”

Yao Zhiyue didn't have a trace of appetite for the food in front of her, she got up and stood up, and said briskly: "I suddenly remembered that there was something to do, so I left first." ”

Yao Zhiyue walked out of the hotel, and tears slipped down so uncontrollably. She sneered silently, it turned out that he was really just impulsive.

At that moment, Li Chenghao's image in her heart suddenly became shorter. Although she has no experience in love, she still likes to be honest and frank in her feelings, and the truth is really unpleasant, but it can make people sober.
