"Huh? Have you really figured it out? She ......"

"It's not early, I'll hang up first."

Before Gu Xuan finished speaking, Zhou Tingyu had already hung up the phone.

After sitting steadily at the computer desk, he got up and went back to his bedroom.

Wide bed. , the quilt bulged up a negligible hill bag, and the corners of Zhou Tingyu's mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile, and he reached out and pressed out the lamp.

……

As usual, when Cheng Xiaoran opened her eyes, she was the only one left in the house, the only difference was that there was a post-it note on the bedside table.

"I'm going on a business trip today, so you don't have to wait for me."

Cheng Xiaoran pursed her lips and opened the mobile phone album with a sad face.

She has already obtained the information, but should she send it to Cheng Tianchong?

Zhou Tingyu is so good to her, is it a betrayal to do it herself?

Sensibility and reason fought against each other, Cheng Xiaoran felt that her brain hurt as if it was about to explode, and in the end, she edited the photo into a text message and sent it.

"Sent successfully."

The four big characters jumped on the screen, and Cheng Xiaoran's eyes were hurting.

"Didi."

There was a reply quickly, and Cheng Xiaoran hurriedly opened it to check.

"Very good, when the Cheng family officially wins this case, I will give you what you want."

Do you have to wait for the case to be over?

Cheng Xiaoran lowered her head weakly, as if she had been emptied.

Since Zhou Tingyu didn't come back at night, she didn't have the heart to go out to buy vegetables, so she lay in the apartment for a day, and when it was close to evening, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Cheng Xiaoran opened the door: "Secretary Li? What are you doing here? ”

"Miss Cheng, the hospital just called and said that your mother's condition may not be very good."

Mom?

Cheng Xiaoran's heart tightened, "What? Can I go and see her? ”

Since her mother was transferred to another hospital by Zhou Tingyu, she has never visited.

"Of course, I'll drive Miss Cheng over."

"Then it's going to trouble Secretary Li."

Half an hour later, in the VIP ward of the downtown hospital.

Cheng Xiaoran held her mother's emaciated hand, and tears rolled down irrepressibly, "Doctor, what's wrong with my mother?" ”

"Miss Cheng, your mother's past cases and examination results cannot be transferred, the treatment has been greatly affected, she had a brief shock this morning, if it continues like this, I am afraid it will be ......"

"Doctor, I beg you to keep my mother alive, please."

The doctor reassured: "Miss Cheng, don't get excited, we will definitely do our best to treat your mother, she has now woken up, although she can't respond, she can hear what you said." ”

Cheng Xiaoran wiped the tears on her face, "I know, thank you, doctor." ”

"You're welcome, then I'll go out first."

Secretary Li was very discerning and knew that Cheng Xiaoran must have something to say to her mother, so she followed the doctor out of the ward without saying a word.

The evening glow spilled on the bedside through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant water, Cheng Xiaoran buried her face in her mother's palm and sobbed softly.

"Mom, don't be afraid, I will be able to get the information from the Cheng family soon, and I will be fine."

"When these things are over, I will leave H City with you, and we will find a small city and live a peaceful life, and we will no longer have to look at other people's eyes."

"Mom, I really miss you."

“……”

Cheng Xiaoran stayed alone in the ward for an hour, and when she came out, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and Secretary Li intimately handed over a tissue.

"Thank you."

"Miss Cheng, you're welcome, you shouldn't have dinner yet, right? I'll accompany you to eat a little. ”

Cheng Xiaoran shook her head, "I'm sorry, I don't have much appetite." ”

"Let's eat a little, so that I can explain to Mr. Zhou."

"Okay."

How did she forget that she can't do whatever she wants in her words and deeds now, Secretary Li said that she was taking care of her, but in fact, wasn't she spying?

After driving around the neighborhood, Cheng Xiaoran chose a Chinese restaurant at random.

"Miss Cheng, the grade of this restaurant is not very good, why don't you go to the front and take a look?"

"Just eat well, don't pay so much attention." Those Western foods with knives and forks are not as real as a bowl of beef noodles.

The two entered the restaurant together, and it is strange to say, the appearance of this store is not very good, and the interior decoration is actually very stylish, maybe the place is a little remote, and there are not many people who eat.

Cheng Xiaoran picked the corner seat and sat down, called the waiter, and ordered a few home-cooked dishes casually, "Secretary Li, I don't know your tastes and hobbies, if you don't like these, you can order another one." ”

Secretary Li smiled quietly, she was like a perfect machine, and her words and deeds would never be wrong and wrong.

"I can do it all."

"Hmm."

After waiting for a while, the food was on the table, Cheng Xiaoran picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, when he saw a familiar figure walking in from the door, and he was followed by an elegant and attractive woman.

Cheng Xiaoran's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened, and her body lowered reflexively, Secretary Li was confused, and just about to ask what was wrong, he was pulled down together.

"Shhhh

Secretary Li obediently didn't ask much.

Not far away, the woman chuckled and sat on the stool, her eyes reluctant to leave the man opposite for a second, "Brother Yu, I really didn't expect to leave for so long, and this place hasn't changed at all." ”

The man's eyes were cold, "What the hell are you looking for me?" ”

"Brother Yu, we haven't seen each other for two years, don't you miss me at all?" The woman has tears in her eyes, she is already beautiful, such a pear blossom with rain, not to mention men, women are distressed when they see it.

"Lu Qing, we're done."

"I know, but Brother Yu, I can't help what happened at the beginning, can't you really forgive me once?"

Zhou Tingyu looked away coldly, not showing her the slightest affection, "No." ”

It's obviously very ungraceful words, but when they come out of Zhou Tingyu's mouth, it will only make people feel cold.

Lu Qing's face turned pale, and her beautiful eyes dimmed instantly, "Brother Yu, I heard that there are other women around you, what do you ...... her Is it sincere? ”

"It's none of your business."

"For the sake of our past friendship, just tell me, that woman named Cheng Xiaoran is just your love in the end. People, or future marriage partners? ”

Zhou Tingyu's last patience has run out, "I have no plans to get married, not now, and not in the future." ”

Lu Qing burst into tears and laughed, "So she's just an inconsequential person, right?" ”

She knew that no one could compare her status in Zhou Tingyu's mind.

"Alright, I'm busy, let's go first."

"Wait!" Lu Qing stood up and threw herself into the man's broad embrace with a shy face, "Brother Yu, I haven't thought about you all the time in the past two years, as long as you are not married, I will never give up, and one day we will go back to the past." ”

Her hug came too suddenly, Zhou Tingyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately took two steps back, and her sword eyebrows twisted fiercely, "Lu Qing, we can't do it anymore!" ”

Lu Qing understood the truth of being too late, and she didn't continue to correct. entangled, but subtly changed the topic, "It seems that this meal will have to wait until later, Brother Yu, I am just going home, can you give me a ride along the way?" ”

"Not available." Dropping the cold two words, Zhou Tingyu left the restaurant with a cold air, Lu Qing didn't stay long, made up a lipstick and walked out.

Silence returned to the restaurant, as if everything had just been an illusion.

The two people in the corner straightened up, and for a long time, neither of them spoke first.

From their position, they couldn't actually hear what Lu Qing and Zhou Tingyu said, but their body movements were clear.

"Ahem, Miss Cheng, the food is going to be cold, let's continue eating."

Cheng Xiaoran glanced up at her and said with a smile: "Secretary Li doesn't have to worry about me, he just hid, but he didn't want that young lady to misunderstand." ”

"Misunderstanding?"

"yes, it looks like their relationship should be very close, I'm just a lover. People, it's too embarrassing to appear at this time. ”

Secretary Li opened her mouth, and wanted to say that there were no women around Mr. Zhou except you, but when she thought that this was the boss's private matter, she still swallowed it back.

"Miss Cheng, Mr. Zhou is very good to you."

"I know." It is precisely because Zhou Tingyu is very good to her that she is so good that she is almost beyond a love. People should do it, that's why she gave birth to some ideas that she shouldn't have.

But just now, reality slapped her hard.

She was sober.

"Let's eat, try this fish-flavored shredded pork, I just took a bite, and it tastes very good."

"Hmm."

In order to show that she was really fine, Cheng Xiaoran ate two full bowls of rice, and swept away a few dishes, Secretary Li knew that she was pretending to be forced, and she didn't poke it, so she dutifully sent people back to the apartment.

"Miss Cheng, rest early, I'll go back first."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

The door was slammed shut, and only darkness and silence were left around, the smile on the corner of Cheng Xiaoran's mouth gradually converged, and she sat on the sofa like a walking corpse.

Didn't that man leave a note in the morning saying he was going on a business trip?

It turns out that his business trip is all about dating other women.

But what does all this have to do with her? Zhou Tingyu as a lover. People, already doing a good job, couldn't be better.

Forget it, when the auction of this land is over, it is impossible for her to be left behind.

It's good to end it like that.

……

Zhou Tingyu did not return to the apartment for three days.

In the past three days, there was not a single text message or phone call, Cheng Xiaoran made her position clear, and she did not feel disappointed or sad, on the contrary, she even felt a trace of ease and joy.

As long as it continues like this, she can cut off this affection and strangle everything in the cradle.

"Now I will broadcast the latest news for you, Lu Qing, a little flower in the film and television industry, has gone abroad for two years to study and finally returned, let's see what works she is about to bring."

On TV, the woman in the limited-edition dress smiled dignified and generous, "Hello everyone, I'm Lu Qing." ”
