The fast pace that is a little rusty, the ringing of the phone that has been heard for a long time, the staff who have not been seen for a long time, the schedule that has not had a second of free time......

Yes, she's back.

At noon, she was eating at the restaurant with Chu Mingrui, and while she was hurriedly swallowing her food, she looked at a report at a glance.

Chu Mingrui said, "Don't look at it, let's eat." ”

She didn't look up: "I'm eating." ”

After a while, he asked, "I don't understand, the company is doing well, why is the debt ratio to the bank so high?" ”

"It's not a very high interest rate." Chu Mingrui said, "It just so happens that people can't see our reality and reality." ”

Fang Xiao buried his head and continued, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "Xu Chenrui, that person is very powerful, you will mortgage your equity, be careful of him playing tricks." ”

Chu Mingrui asked: "In your opinion, which people in the Xu family need to be guarded against?" ”

Fang Xiao put down the report and said, "The side tribe factions are not worried, they can't hold the power, and they can't speak on the board of directors. What to worry about is Xu Chenrui and Xu Shen, but although Xu Anxiao is a girl, she should not be underestimated, Xu Jinheng was the most fond of his baby daughter back then, and the other is Wang Wanqing, although she is a woman, Xu Jinheng trusted her very much back then, and she grabbed a lot of real power in her hands. ”

Chu Mingrui said: "Xu Anxiao is not afraid, she has actually given up the equity of the Xu family and went abroad early, Xu Chenrui is the eldest son, and he is also the current ruler of the Xu family, and he is a big trouble, Xu Shen is Xu Jinheng's favorite one, giving him the most real power, and he is also a headache, as for Wang Wanqing, this woman is not easy to deal with, the most scheming, it is really not easy to deal with her." ”

He looked at Fang Xiao hesitantly: "What good way do you have?" ”

Fang Xiao said: "For a while, there is no good way. ”

Chu Mingrui smiled: "Let's eat first." The two gossiped again, but Chu Mingrui remembered something, "Oh, by the way, the president will have a treat in the evening, you remember to go home early from work and change your clothes." ”

Fang Xiao nodded, and after eating, the two went upstairs and went back to their respective offices.

Fang Xiao was extremely busy because he had just taken over, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, he hurriedly went home to change his evening dress and accompanied Chu Mingrui to the president's house for a banquet.

The chairman obviously had a deep friendship with Chu Mingrui, and he was also familiar with Fang Xiao, which was often common in the social field in the past, so he jokingly asked, "Mingrui, how did you dig into the corner of the Xu family?" ”

Chu Mingrui just laughed, just as the dance music started, the president invited Fang Xiao.

The two danced and laughed, and the chairman was a person who liked to joke very much, so he complimented Fang Xiao very much, and said, "If I am twenty years younger, I must compete with Mingrui." Mrs. Chu, in fact, if you don't think I'm old now, I'm willing to compete. ”

Fang Xiao was used to this kind of scene, and his answer was also very playful, and the two laughed, attracting the attention of everyone on the dance floor.

After dancing with the president, Chu Mingrui finally took over her, it happened to be a slow dance, Fang Xiao said: "It just so happened that the tango just now made me dizzy." ”

Chu Mingrui said: "This is the first time we dance. ”

Fang Xiao laughed silently, because his head was indeed a little dizzy, he leaned on his shoulder, and the two of them slowly finished the song.

Chu Mingrui saw that her face was not very good, and asked, "Are you hungry?" I'll get you something to eat, okay? ”

Fang Xiao also felt that he was hungry, so he nodded, Chu Mingrui went to the dining table, but Fang Xiao stopped him and asked, "Do you know what I want to eat?" ”

Chu Mingrui smiled and raised the plate: "Fruit salad, and double rum black ice cream, right?" ”

Fang Xiao couldn't help but smile, Chu Mingrui took the food and came back to her, seeing that she was eating with relish, he went to get another glass of fruit wine for her, Fang Xiao said, "Thank you." ”

Chu Mingrui pointed at her with his finger, she suddenly remembered his words when she was in France, and couldn't help but laugh, other people were dancing or talking, even if someone saw the situation of the two, they also felt that the newlyweds should be so intimate and didn't pay much attention to it.

After Fang Xiao finished eating, Chu Mingrui chatted with her acquaintances, and she went to put down the plate by herself.

Because she had just drunk a glass of fruit wine, her stomach was a little uncomfortable, so she walked to the fountain.

Behind the fountain pool, there are several very large hibiscus, and a white swing is hidden in it, and the light outside is blocked by the hibiscus flowers, and no trace can leak in, only the moonlight in one place is like silver.

Fang Xiao felt that it was particularly interesting, so she sat on the swing, and as soon as she sat down, someone pushed it behind her, and the swing immediately swung forward high, she was startled, and only smiled: "Don't make trouble." ”

I thought it was Chu Mingrui, but when the swing went back, she saw the person standing on the side, it was Xu Shen.

The smile on her face froze suddenly.

She hadn't seen him since the day in the hospital, and now she saw him standing there, the moonlight hazy, and his whole being enveloped in a faint shade of darkness.

The inertia of the swing was still swinging forward and backward, and he was leaning and bouncing in her sight.

In her mind, there was only a gray shadow, where it fell with the swing.

"Mrs. Chu." He spoke, his tone so calm that he couldn't hear anything, "Long time no see." ”

Fang Xiao only felt that his palms were wet with coldness, as if there was a small insect drilling there, maybe he was sweating, maybe he was holding the swing rope too tightly.

I only heard him say: "You didn't notify your old friend of your wedding with Mr. Chu, so it was rude that you couldn't go to congratulate you."

Fang Xiao heard him say politely, so he was also very polite: "Where." ”

Xu Shen finally walked out of the shadow of the flower, the moonlight shone on his face, his eyebrows were not very clear, but his eyes were still sharp, he said: "I just saw it, I almost couldn't recognize it." Radiant, in the end, newcomers. ”

Fang Xiao involuntarily clenched the swing rope and said lightly, "Of course." A woman's life is to marry a good husband, otherwise, she may lose her life. ”

He nodded, "Very good, finally to the point." Do you think Yiyi's death was done by someone? ”

Fang Xiao raised his face: "I don't dare to think nonsense, but she caught the handle of someone who is invisible to others, so she was killed." Mr. Xu, in any case, she is your wife, and I did not expect that human nature would be so despicable. ”

Xu Shen took a step forward and grabbed the swing rope: "Fang Xiao, there must be evidence when you speak!" ”

Fang Xiao said: "Yes, everything must have evidence, so I also talked about it just now, and I don't dare to say nonsense." ”

Xu Shen's temper was already bad, so he grabbed her wrist at once, almost dragging her off the swing: "Fang Xiao! Let me tell you, I Xu Shen has not gone so far as to murder his wife and father-in-law! ”

Fang Xiao neither struggled nor made noise, but only said quietly: "Yes or no, you know it." Even if you don't know it, what about your family? For the sake of that general record, they will definitely do whatever it takes, as a member of this family, you really don't know anything? ”

Xu Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, do you have to condemn me today?" ”

Fang Xiao looked at him, the moon was shuttling through the clouds, so the moonlight flickered brightly and darkly, and the reflection on his face was also flickering and dim, and she couldn't see what was in his eyes clearly.

She suddenly smiled: "Mr. Xu, what crime can I convict you?" I'm not a judge, and I'm not God, and as for whether you're guilty or not—the sky is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and there will be retribution when the time comes. Now you'd better let me go at once, or let my husband see it, and I'm afraid he'll misunderstand." ”

"Your sir?" Xu Shen sneered, his tone was full of sarcasm and ridicule, "You really found a good person to entrust for life, do you know who he is?" ”

"Of course I do." Fang Xiao replied lightly, "He is your half-brother. ”

Xu Shen sneered: "He told you?" But how much do you know about him? Yes, he's my half-brother, but the whole family will never let this bastard go! He's rich, isn't he? Do you know where all that money comes from? I tell you, every penny of his money was squeezed by the most unsightly means. And my father was driven to death by him! He threatened his father with a hostile takeover, and his father was so angry that he collapsed in the conference room with a cerebral hemorrhage, he even had this kind of poison to his own father, how much affection do you expect him to treat you? ”

Fang Xiao also smiled coldly: "Ugly? Is what Xu does to see people? The Dayingshan tunnel collapsed, seven workers died, and forty-six were injured, why? Because the well-known engineering company in Xu's affiliated enterprises was greedy for small profits, it changed the design structure of the bracket without authorization. Afterwards, you have passed the buck completely. You have blood on your hands, what right do you have to blame others? ”

Xu Shen said: "People are in the mall, you can't help yourself, you were also a member of the company in the past, are you innocent?" ”

Fang Xiaodao: "I am indeed not innocent, so I have today's retribution." But I just want you to understand that no one in this world is cleaner than anyone else, and you have no position to blame my husband at all. ”

Xu Shen was so angry that the muscles on his face twisted slightly, almost word by word: "Okay!" Good! I'm waiting, waiting to see what good end your good husband will give you! ”

He threw her away with all his might, turned and strode away, and disappeared into the darkness.

Fang Xiao was pushed by him and staggered, holding on to the swing frame to stand firmly.

The moonlight was still as good as before, and a layer of silver frost was plated on the flowers, branches, and leaves of Fuso.

The sound of music and laughter in the garden came one after another, but Fang Xiao felt as if he was alone here, whether it was people making trouble or laughing outside, it seemed to be another world. In the conversation just now, she and Xu Shen completely broke up, and when they meet again from now on, I am afraid that even today's false politeness will be gone, and the words he said made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Yes, she didn't know who Rong Haizheng was, but he saved her, he showed her a way in a desperate situation, he let her come back to life, just to get revenge - the bitterness in her heart surged even more, as if she had just drunk a cup of strong black coffee, and it was bitter until her internal organs, so bitter that her eyes were hot for a while, she hoped that this was really a deserted wilderness, and she cried out loud like that, and her heart was also happy, but there were people outside the flower wall, and she had to endure it as hard as she could, Fortunately, she is used to patience, and she can endure it no matter how difficult it is.
