Yao Zhiyue left the living room, wanting to leave space for their grandchildren to be alone.

A mid-air voice came a little sharply, "Hungry, aren't you?" The dish will be fried immediately. ”

Looking at a middle-aged and long-faced woman who was busy in the kitchen, Yao Zhiyue guessed that it should be A'e. She hid the sadness on her face, smiled and walked towards the kitchen, and said politely, "Do you need my help?" ”

A'e was not polite, slapped the side of her face a few times with her palm, and said bluntly: "Okay, help me wash these two plates, and use them to serve the dishes when I turn around." ”

Yao Zhiyue answered and turned on the faucet of the sink. Ah E poured a few spoonfuls of peanut oil into the pot, poured a plate of shredded carrots and diced shiitake mushrooms into the pot, and scared Yao Zhiyue with a bang.

A'e didn't care about the hot oil droplets splashed on the back of her hand, stir-fried neatly, and said bluntly: "You are the young master's girlfriend, right?" ”

Yao Zhiyue shook her head and explained, "No, I'm not. ”

A'e glanced at Yao Zhiyue with a meaningful smile, and said with a big grin: "What are you embarrassed to admit, there are so many girls who have a long queue and want to be his girlfriend." ”

Yao Zhiyue couldn't cry or laugh, but felt that the more she explained, the more she would be misunderstood, so she simply kept her mouth shut and didn't speak.

A'e only took Yao Zhiyue as a default, looked in the direction of the living room, lowered her voice, and looked confident, "You can't hide it from me." Do you know when the last time the young master brought a girl from the city back? ”

Yao Zhiyue wiped the dishes clean, looked up into A'e's eyes, and suddenly a curiosity rose in her heart, and asked with a smile, "When?" ”

"I think it was five years ago. That girl Peugeot is quite Peugeot, but she is too proud, and her eyes can grow on the door of her head, unlike you, who is beautiful and very easy to get along with. ”

Yao Zhiyue was dizzy after being praised twice, and forgot for a moment what she wanted to gossip about.

A'e finished the dishes one after another, and Yao Zhiyue brought them to the dining table in the living room one by one. Chen Yiming followed behind Old Man Song and slowly walked to the dining table.

Old Man Song looked at the table full of delicious food, and said to Ah E, who was standing aside, "Call Ah Cheng over to eat together." ”

A'e hurriedly refused: "No need, it's rare for the young master to come back once, so we won't mix blindly." Come on, come on, how about you taste it? ”

Old Man Song sat down, and Chen Yiming and Yao Zhiyue sat down together. Ah E served the rice for them and left.

Old Man Song began to drink liquor after eating a few bites of food, and from time to time he gave Chen Yiming and Yao Zhiyue vegetables, urging them to eat quickly, with a satisfied smile on his face.

After a full meal, Chen Yiming and Yao Zhiyue chatted with Mr. Song, and the TV in the living room was playing spy movies, just like many ordinary afternoons.

Seeing that Yao Zhiyue was explaining the content on TV to Old Man Song, Chen Yiming's eyebrows stretched, his cold eyes turned soft, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of warm light.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had such a relaxed and dull day, as if time had slowed down, and he could sit on the hillside with nothing to do and watch the sunrise in the east and sunset in the west.

The ceiling fan in the living room made a rhythmic sound, dissipating the heat a little bit, and the old man Song lay in the rattan chair, unconsciously falling asleep.

At this time, the sun is setting, and the afterglow is soft and warm. Chen Yiming got up and stood up, walked to the door of the living room, and said lightly: "Go out for a walk?" ”

Yao Zhiyue was slightly flustered, and then followed Chen Yiming out of the yard and wandered all the way to a secluded grove.

Yao Zhiyue watched the afterglow of the setting sun pull her and Chen Yiming's shadows brightly, because she was much smaller than Chen Yiming, and when the shadows overlapped from time to time, it seemed like she was resting her head on his shoulder.

She suddenly felt a little in a trance, she followed Chen Yiming here thousands of miles away, and now the two of them are stealing a lot of light, it is really difficult not to let people think about their relationship in that direction.

Chen Yiming put his hands in his pockets, and his casual business shoes stepped on the grass, making a rustling sound of rubbing, making the surroundings more and more silent and empty.

"My mom never mentioned it to me, I just know that her energy has gradually shifted to public welfare, especially in the children's welfare home."

Chen Yiming's bright and deep voice pulled Yao Zhiyue's thoughts back, and she said thoughtfully: "This is probably a knot in Ms. Song's heart. ”

The two walked to a small lake at the end of the woods, Chen Yiming bent down and picked up a stone and threw it towards the lake, but saw that the stone was like a jumping rabbit, and after jumping three times in a row, it sank to the bottom of the lake, and the lake was faint with layers of ripples.

Yao Zhiyue thought it was funny, and also picked up a stone to learn from Chen Yiming and threw it on the surface of the lake, but only sank to the bottom of the lake with a plop.

Chen Yiming explained and demonstrated, "Use your wrist to exert force." ”

Yao Zhiyue tried several times before succeeding, her cheeks were flushed with excitement, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her nose.

"All that woman did was get revenge on my mom."

Hearing Chen Yiming's depressed voice, Yao Zhiyue restrained the smile on her face. When Old Man Song said what happened more than ten years ago, she had already speculated based on the available information.

Lin Qiyao came prepared, and she began to plan very early. She even changed her name, cut off everything in the past, and destroyed the traces of the past, which caught Song Minjing off guard.

Yao Zhiyue looked back at Chen Yiming, frowned slightly, and said the confusion that had existed in her heart for a long time, "Does the chairman know the origin of Kang Rou?" ”

"At least I didn't know before, and even she didn't know before my mother entrusted you."

They watched the sun set, and the deep orange light was pure and unadulterated, like a fine topaz.

Yao Zhiyue plucked up her courage and said in a thin voice: "Lin Qiyao's means of revenge are not bright, but there is no suspicion of murder at all, even if she has this motive." To put it bluntly, this is a personal vendetta, and the law cannot judge who is right and who is wrong. ”

Yao Zhiyue turned her head to look at Chen Yiming and asked worriedly, "Do you want to be like her, a tooth for a tooth?" ”

Chen Yiming put his hands in his pockets, didn't seem to hear Yao Zhiyue's words clearly, and said to himself: "Do you believe that someone will commit suicide because of guilt?" Especially, after the object of guilt killed her without any scruples, will you still feel guilty? ”

Yao Zhiyue put herself into such a situation, her heart fluctuated slightly, and she blurted out: "No, at least I feel even, and even feel relieved." ”

Chen Yiming glanced at Yao Zhiyue deeply, and his gaze seemed to penetrate her body and drift into the distance. Suddenly, his feather-like eyes instantly condensed into a beam of sharp edges, and said in a deep voice: "Will force my mother into this situation, do you think she is just a victim to fight back?" ”

Chen Yiming turned around and strode back in the original direction. Yao Zhiyue came to her senses and quickly kept up with him.

The next day, Chen Yiming and Yao Zhiyue returned to Xincheng. When he walked out of the airport, Chen Yiming casually stopped a taxi. The two sat in the car with their eyes closed.

The car stopped at the intersection of the Jinrui villa area. Chen Yiming and Yao Zhiyue got out of the car and walked side by side towards the villa.

The summer days are so long that at six or seven o'clock in the evening it is still bright. Suddenly, Chen Yiming stopped abruptly, and a faint stunned appeared between his eyebrows.

Yao Zhiyue also stopped with Chen Yiming and followed his gaze, but saw a fashionable young girl standing in front of the steel deconstruction gate of the villa.

The pure white tight-fitting dress perfectly set off her beautiful body curves, wearing a pair of dazzling silver open-toe stiletto heels on her feet, a thick curly hair hanging down her waist, and a pearl bright diamond handbag, standing there elegantly and nobly.

Her brilliance overshadowed the scenery around her. Yao Zhiyue praised in her heart - it's amazing, like coming out of a TV series.

Chen Yiming took another step forward and didn't say until he walked in front of the girl: "You, when did you return to China?" ”

Yao Zhiyue was stunned in her heart, obviously feeling the rare softness in Chen Yiming's tone, and couldn't help but fall her gaze back in front of the girl, with irrepressible curiosity about her.

"Today." After a pause, I only heard her say softly: "As soon as I heard about my aunt, I will come back as soon as I finish my work in New York." ”

The girl looked at Chen Yiming's eyes with a gentle charm, her voice was crisp and sweet, and she spoke very slowly, which seemed particularly emotional.

Chen Yiming shifted his gaze, and seemed to notice Yao Zhiyue, who was standing aside, reverted to his previous cold posture, and introduced her: "Zhang Ruoyi." Then he shifted his gaze to Zhang Ruoyi's face and said simply: "Yao Zhiyue." ”

Zhang Ruoyi's gaze reluctantly shifted from Chen Yiming to Yao Zhiyue, and she stretched out her hand elegantly, and her soft voice was as pleasant as a shallow singing, "It's a pleasure to meet for the first time." ”

Yao Zhiyue was a little flattered, and hurriedly shook Zhang Ruoyi's hand, "Ah, I'm also very happy." ”

Zhang Ruoyi once again set his eyes on Chen Yiming, the corners of his mouth rose, and there was a charming charm flowing between Gu Pan, and said softly: "Don't you invite me in for a cup of coffee?" ”

Chen Yiming opened the door, gentlemanly asked the lady to go first, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said gently: "I don't have your favorite cappuccino here." ”

Zhang Ruoyi walked beside Chen Yiming elegantly and chuckled, "I've changed my taste now." ”

Yao Zhiyue took a few steps behind, looking at the pair of handsome men and women like Yushu Qionghua in front of her, she was very curious, the two of them had known each other for a long time, but it seemed that there was a boundary between them, and no one wanted to touch them.

This kind of ambiguity circulating in the air made Yao Zhiyue feel very pure, and it was hard to imagine that these two adults had the throbbing of teenagers. As a girl, she clearly read her feelings from Zhang Ruoyi's eyebrows and demeanor.

When she came to the living room, Yao Zhiyue said hello and walked straight to her room, and Zhang Ruoyi's sweet and gentle voice came from her ears, "It's been five or six years, and nothing has changed here." ”

Yao Zhiyue's heart chuckled, and she suddenly remembered that A'e had told her that Chen Yiming had brought his girlfriend five years ago, and she suddenly realized.
