Chapter 43: The Visitation
After Si Yu left, he opened a room in a hotel not far from Yi Qiyang's house and put his luggage, and then went downstairs to find a restaurant to eat. After Si Yu finished eating, he returned to the room.
Seeing that it was getting dark, he took out his pocket watch from his coat pocket and looked at the time, six o'clock. Si Yu went downstairs to the restaurant for dinner, and after preparing the meal, he went directly to Yi Qiyang's residence.
After finishing the meal, after the account, just about to get up, he felt a hand on his shoulder, Si Yu instinctively frowned, and saw a woman's face enter his sight, and a slightly hoarse woman's voice came from his ear: "Young master, is you alone?" ”
Si Yu moved to the side, feeling the hand slipping off his shoulder, Si Yu got up, didn't look at the woman, and was about to leave.
"Young Master." But the woman moved before him and blocked his way.
Si Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her indifferently. The woman in front of her looks like she is twenty-three or four, with curly hair and a good-looking hairstyle, a graceful body, and gorgeous clothes, but the bewitching makeup and charming eyes on her face make it easy for people to think that she is a Fengyue woman. And Si Yu has never had a good impression of this kind of woman.
"Young Master, this is your first time here, right?" The woman lit a cigarette, took a puff, and gently spit out the cigarette, her eyes were a little lazy, but she revealed a bit of charm, "Alone? ”
"Excuse me." Si Yu's tone was calm, although it felt a little indifferent, but it was also polite. After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the woman in front of him, and walked out the door from her.
At night in Nanjing, the wind was very cool, Si Yu buttoned up his coat, put his hands in his pockets, and strode towards Yi Qiyang's residence.
After walking a short distance, someone pulled his sleeve, and a slightly hoarse voice came from behind him: "Young master, if you want to leave, you have to listen to me, right?" ”
Si Yu looked at her for a few seconds, was silent for a moment, and slowly spoke: "You'd better think clearly." If it's all nonsense, be careful that I leave you speechless from the moment. ”
"Yo, the eldest young master of the Si family is even more ruthless than I imagined." The woman said, took a puff of cigarette, gently exhaled a puff of cigarette, raised her eyes to look at Si Yu, her phoenix eyes were smiling, but they were slightly deserted under the light.
"You know me?" Si Yu raised his vigilance, and couldn't help but look at the woman in front of him carefully, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
"Oh?" The corners of the woman's mouth raised slightly, and she seemed to chuckle, "I thought that Miss An should tell you." ”
"Miss An?" Si Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively. He guessed that it was Anjie, but he didn't say the name easily, because he was afraid that it wouldn't.
"Your partner." The woman said, leaning closer to Si Yu and whispering in his ear, "Anjie." The voice fell, and he took a small step back and distanced himself from Si Yu.
"She sent you?" Hearing that it was sent by Anjie, Si Yu relaxed his vigilance slightly, but his expression did not change, only as cold as always.
"Miss An asked me to pick you up here." The woman said, threw the unfinished cigarette to her feet, stepped on it with the soles of her high heels, and then took off her gloves and stretched out her hand to Si Yu, "Mo Mo, I have admired the name for a long time, Major General." ”
"Silently?" Si Yu was a little puzzled and said lightly, "Your name?" ”
She seemed to know Si Yu's doubts, so she explained: "The first Mo is Mo surnamed Mo, and the second ink is ink with ink." ”
"Oh." Si Yu suddenly, took out his hand from his pocket and shook Mo Mo's fingers, then withdrew it, looked at her carefully, and frowned slightly, "Your surname is Mo?" ”
"You're a local?" Si Yu asked again.
"That's right." Mo Mo replied with a light smile, his tone was very brisk.
Si Yu recalled the face of the girl who had just said goodbye during the day, so he asked, "Do you know the Mo family's compound?" ”
"That's my house." Mo Mo replied, seeing that Si Yu was thoughtful, he asked again, "How do you know?" What did Miss Ann tell you? ”
"It's not." Si Yu wanted to talk about meeting Mo Li on the train, but was interrupted by Mo Mo.
"Also, if Miss An tells you that my home is in the Mo family's compound, you should go directly to my house." Mo Mo Dao.
Si Yu only nodded lightly and did not speak.
"I heard that you will stay in Nanjing for five days, and Miss An specially instructed me to take good care of you for these five days." Mo Mo said, "But I didn't pick you up at the train station because I really had something to do this afternoon, please don't blame you." ”
"Why should I blame you?" Si Yu's tone was still indifferent.
"The Major General is so generous?" Mo Mo's tone was tinged with suspicion.
When Si Yu heard this, she was a little puzzled, it wasn't a big deal, Mo Moben also had her own business, why did she blame her. So he said: "Does Miss Mo think that I am a cautious person?" ”
Hearing Si Yu say this, Mo Mo was obviously startled, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "No, no, it's just that the major general is more peaceful than I imagined." ”
Si Yu was provoked by Mo Mo's words and chuckled, but he didn't say anything, he quickly smiled, glanced at the time, and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
"Wait." Mo Mo stopped Si Yu, who was about to leave, "You won't go to me tonight?" Miss Ann has specially asked me to take good care of you. ”
"Tomorrow." Si Yu glanced at her and said indifferently, "I have booked a hotel today." Seeing that Mo Mo's expression was a little embarrassed, he said, "Miss Mo, please go back, I will go to the house to find you tomorrow." ”
I don't know what Si Yu is doing, and Mo Mo is not easy to ask. However, when Si Yu said this, Mo Mo had no choice but to listen to him and nodded. Looking at Si Yu's striding away, Mo Mo suddenly stopped him, and when Si Yu turned around to look at her, Mo Mo said: "At any time, if you have orders, just look for me, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Miss An." ”
"Don't worry, it won't make it difficult for you." After speaking, Si Yu turned around and strode away, the tall figure was a little gloomy under the street lamp, for some reason, Mo Mo felt a little affectionate in his heart.
Si Yu's figure disappeared on the corner of the street, Mo Mo felt the fine snow flying, raised his head and watched the snowflakes slowly drift down, sighed lightly, and chuckled: "Miss An is really, her heart is big." ”
said that Si Yu came to Yi Qiyang's residence, and after reporting his name, the servants hurriedly welcomed him into the house.
"I don't know what happened when the eldest young master came all the way from Shanghai to Nanjing?" After Yi Qihui invited Si Yu to sit on the sofa, he personally poured a cup of tea for him. Although the relationship between Yi Qizhu and Si Yu is not as good as that between Yi Qizang and Si Yu, the last time they met was at Yi Qiwanxi's birthday banquet, but I always heard Yi Qizang say how good Si Yu was, and Yi Qizhu inevitably had some respect for Si Yu.
Si Yu gently brushed the thin snow off his shoulders, took the tea handed over by Yi Qixi, and said, "A smart person like Young Master Yi Qi, I don't know why I came, I'm afraid I'm joking. ”
Yi Qiyang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed a few times: "Forgive me for being really ignorant, not joking with the eldest young master, if you don't say it, I really don't know it." ”
"Then I'll get straight to the point." There were too many polite words that seemed cumbersome, and Si Yu didn't want to waste time, so he went straight to the point, "I learned that Wanxi was sick and recuperating from your illness, so I came to visit her." ”
"Wanxi?" Yi Qiyang frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at Si Yu, and said with a light smile, "I'm afraid you've made a mistake, Wanxi is not here." ”
"Oh?" Si Yu stared at Yi Qiyang's eyes, his gaze was sharp, so that people with weak hearts did not dare to look directly.
And Yi Qiyang is the person with a weak heart. Yi Qihui didn't dare to look directly into Si Yu's eyes, so he lowered his head and poured tea, but his expression and tone were still very calm: "Even if the third sister is sick, how can she come all the way from Shanghai to me to recuperate." ”
"But the news I got is indeed yours." Si Yu's tone was calm but indifferent, with a little suspicion and a little displeasure.
Hearing that Si Yu was a little displeased, Yi Qihui still didn't panic: "I don't know where you got the news?" As he spoke, he raised his smiling eyes and looked at Si Yu, and said, "Yiqi Mansion has three thousand gold and is sick, and he is not recuperating in this house, but he came to me, the eldest brother who is far away in Nanjing, to recuperate, it doesn't make sense, don't you think it's a little ridiculous?" ”
"I was also wondering why she came to Nanjing." Si Yu said, his expression darkened.
"You mean, the third sister is indeed here with me?" Yi Qihui asked.
Hearing this, Si Yu raised his eyes to look at Yi Qiyang, was silent for a second, then smiled lightly, and asked without answering, "Isn't it?" ”
Yi Qihui and Si Yu looked at each other for a few seconds, then lowered his head slightly and took a sip of tea, and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, my sister is indeed not with me." ”
Hearing this, Si Yu was obviously stunned for a moment, and was dumbfounded for a while. He knew that Yi Qi Wanxi must be here, but Yi Qi Yan's words obviously didn't want him to know that Yi Qi Wanxi was there. Si Yu knew that there would be nothing wrong with the information An Jie gave him, but he couldn't find a reason for Yi Qixi to deceive him, so he could only choose to believe that Yi Qiwanxi was not there.
"You came all the way from Shanghai, I don't know if there is a place to stay, if you don't dislike it, why don't you live in the cold house for a few days?" Yi Qiyang asked with a smile.
Yi Qihui said that Yi Qiwan was not with him, and invited himself to stay, thinking that he did not lie to himself. Although he still had doubts in his heart, Si Yu still shook his head: "No, I have a place to live here." ”
"Yes." Yi Qiyang said with a smile.
"It's not too early, so Si Yu won't bother." Si Yu said, getting up and preparing to leave.
"Won't you sit down for a while?" Yi Qihui got up and looked at Si Yu and asked.
"Nope." Si Yu said, "I'll go back." After speaking, he bowed and was about to leave.
Yi Qiyang didn't leave him behind, took an umbrella and followed Si Yu to send him out.
When he arrived at the gate, Si Yu turned back to Yi Qiyang and said, "Please stay." ”
Yi Qiyang handed the umbrella in his hand to Si Yu and said, "Go slowly." The snow is a bit heavy, so be careful of slippery roads. ”
Si Yu took the umbrella, thanked him, and left.
Yi Qihui looked at Si Yu's gradually blurred back in the snow, sighed lightly, and turned back to the house.
Yi Qihui walked down the stairs to the second floor, and walked to a brightly lit room, the door was wide open, so he walked directly in.
The large room, richly decorated and neatly laid, was empty. The curtains were lifted by the wind, and Yi Qiyang found that the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony were wide open. He started, walked gently to the balcony, opened the curtains, and saw the people sitting on the marble railing of the balcony, and couldn't help but panic.
