Chapter 60: The Haze
"The day before yesterday, Lu Mingyuan came to visit him." A familiar female voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Liang Qian's words------
Liang Qianyu turned around and saw Liang Ning who was picking up the stairs.
The inexplicable vigilance that was originally blocked in Liang Qian's chest was instantly replaced by the absurdity after seeing Liang Ning standing in front of him.
"What does Lu Mingyuan's friend have to do with me? Do you want Zhou Mo to trick me? ”
Liang Qian said, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhou Mo on the side, but Zhou Mo just lowered his head silently. Seeing this situation, Liang Qian didn't even bother to laugh, how could she forget that this man has always revolved around Liang Ning, what else can she Liang Qian expect from him?
Now there is no need to say more, Liang Qian turned around and left, but her steps were lightly nailed to the spot by Liang Ning in the next moment------
"Didn't you notice that his eyebrows and eyes ......" Liang Ning raised his chin and nodded at the photo on the tombstone, "It looks like a person?" ”
“……”
"One...... Someone you and I know very well. ”
As soon as the taxi braked, Liang Qian stuffed the fare to the driver, and the next second he had grabbed the door, running all the way from outside the gate of Liang's house, through the vestibule garden, and straight into the house.
Aunt Liang finally stood firm, and when she saw Liang Qian, who had just left a few hours ago, she was surprised: "Why are you back again?" ”
Liang Qian waved his hand panting, and before he had time to answer, he directly bypassed Aunt Liang and ran towards the stairs. Soon she came to the study on the second floor, where the family who had gathered to listen to the will had gathered earlier, but the study was empty at the moment, Liang Qian found the safe placed under the desk with his memory, squatted there and was stunned by the combination lock, Liang Qian suddenly got up and ran to the door of the study, and shouted downstairs: "Aunt Liang!" Call my grandma over......"
As soon as the words fell, Liang Qian saw his grandmother who had already walked to the middle of the stairs. As soon as Mrs. Liang, who was full of exhaustion, looked up, she saw her granddaughter standing in the corridor on the second floor, with an eager face.
"Aunt Liang told me that you are back......" Old Madam Liang frowned suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
Liang Qian didn't have time to explain more, and asked directly: "What is the password of the safe?" ”
Mrs. Liang, who didn't get an answer, finally opened the safe for Liang Qian, watched Liang Qian hurriedly take out all the documents in the safe, and finally couldn't help asking, "What are you looking for?" ”
Liang Qian put the documents on the table one by one, looked down and flipped through them randomly, he didn't seem to be interested in the content of each document at all, and only focused on turning to the last page to check the last signature of the document, but after a while, Liang Qian didn't find what she was looking for.
There were already dozens of contracts scattered on the desk, Liang Qian didn't have the slightest intention of looking up, and while busy burying his head and continuing to rummage, he asked, "Grandma, have you ever heard of a person named Pei Mingjun?" ”
"Pei Mingjun?" Old Madam Liang frowned and shook her head, "I haven't heard of it." ”
The words "Pei Mingjun" engraved on the epitaph flashed in Liang Qian's mind, and he suddenly felt a headache, so much so that after a pause, he re-read the next document: "I remember that I seem to have seen this name here in my father's place...... Are all the original texts of Dad's documents stored in this safe? ”
"Why don't you go to the company's archives to check? There should be electronic copies. ”
"That was a long time ago, before the company implemented electronic records."
Mrs. Liang wanted to help, but she was powerless, "I have never interfered in the company's affairs,"
Mrs. Liang helped find two documents, but she didn't find the name of "Pei Mingjun", and then she suddenly came to her senses, put down the documents and said, "You might as well ask Secretary Liu, she has worked for your father for decades, and may be able to help you." ”
Secretary Liu?
Until he saw the last contract, Liang Qian still had nothing, so he had no choice but to give up.
Looking at the documents on the table, Liang Qian didn't even have the time to sigh, regrouped, and directly took out his mobile phone to find Secretary Liu's number.
Since Secretary Liu was dismissed by Liang Mingyi in advance, he only left Liang Qian a private number for contact, Liang Qian called, but was told by Secretary Liu's son that the old man went back to his hometown to visit relatives.
"And when will she be back?"
“……”
Secretary Liu's son's tone was obviously unkind, and he was even more silent at the moment, Liang Qian paused, and could only suppress his eagerness, and tried his best to change to a more gentle question: "Or...... Can you give me a number where I can reach your mom right away? ”
A sneer suddenly sounded, and then there was a mocking voice hidden in the saltiness: "My mother has served your Liang family all her life, but you said that you would be dismissed, and you didn't talk about it at all." Now you're so anxious to find her...... I'm sorry, but I don't want you to disturb her old man's life. ”
"I'm really sorry, but I really have something urgent to ...... right now"
The other party made a "snap" and directly put the phone down.
It was two days later that Secretary Liu's whereabouts were finally found.
In the past two days, Liang Qian still lives in the Liang family's mansion, and she has a resolute attitude: she wants to accompany her grandmother...... Pei Yibai no longer insisted on it.
And this day is also the day when Liang Mingyi was buried.
Liang Qian stood beside his grandmother, facing the guests' "festival mourning" sentence after sentence, Liang Qian didn't want to think about what kind of mood he was in. Walking in her mind, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Secretary Zhang's figure, was startled, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Secretary Zhang, and naturally saw Pei Yibai's figure.
After all, Liang Qian has not made their marriage public, as soon as Pei Yibai appeared, the other guests came to visit the chairman's family as the CEO of the company, and the employees of the funeral company also treated him as a guest, handed Pei Yibai a white chrysanthemum, and reminded Pei Yibai that when he was buried later, the guests needed to place the white chrysanthemum on the coffin in order.
Pei Yibai didn't explain, he walked straight to Liang Qian with a white chrysanthemum in his hand.
Pei Yibai bowed slightly to Mrs. Liang, but Mrs. Liang smiled apologetically: "Yibai, after all, you haven't held a wedding yet, considering the rules of our hometown, I didn't let you wear linen and filial piety." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Pei Yibai was very generous, Mrs. Liang was very satisfied with his performance, seeing Liang Qian staring straight at her husband, Mrs. Liang raised her eyes to look at the acquaintances who were signing at the entrance in the distance, and said, "I'll go over and talk." Leave and give the two young men space to be alone.
Liang Qian looked at Pei Yibai's eyebrows, and after a few seconds of distraction, she suddenly realized that her grandmother had gone away, and then she woke up, her mind was blank for a while, and she lowered her eyebrows to hide the past, and only asked him: "How is the situation of the company in the past two days?" ”
Pei Yibai shook his head.
"You haven't slept in the past few days, have you? The face has lost a circle. Pei Yibai raised his hand and stroked her cheek with pity.
Liang Qian looked at him and tried his best to keep a smile, even if he was already smiling very reluctantly. Until his eyes unexpectedly crossed Pei Yibai's shoulder, and saw Liang Ning, who was standing not far away and looking back at her-
"I heard Lu Mingyuan call and ask Pei Yibai to come and sweep the grave."
Lu Mingyuan asked Pei Yibai to come with him...... Grave.
Liang Qian's smile collapsed in an instant.
Fortunately, at this time, the two of them suddenly rang a phone ringtone, and while the corners of Liang Qian's mouth stiffened, he lowered his head with this ringtone, and secretly transitioned his expression under the cover of his hair, and then took out the mobile phone from his pocket.
Liang Qian pointed to his mobile phone, signaled that he wanted to answer the phone, and walked to Pei Yibai two steps away.
This is an unfamiliar number, Liang Qian picked it up: "Hey? ”
The other party called her with the usual title: "Second Miss." ”
Liang Qian slammed suddenly: "Secretary Liu? ”
Liang Qian woke up from his dream suddenly.
On the ceiling in front of him, there was a burst of moonlight that peeked through the cracks in the curtains.
This moonlight scorched the chill emitted by the snowmelt outdoors into the room that should have been warm, so that Liang Qian couldn't help but shiver before he could recover from the nightmare.
She sat up from the bed pressing her cramping temples, and before she could do anything else, a worried question came from her ear: "Didn't sleep well?" ”
Liang Qian's whole body stiffened, and after he recovered, he turned his head to look, only to see that Pei Yibai was also awake, and was leaning slightly against the head of the bed looking at her.
Pei Yibai is a person who has an extremely light sleep, and she only made such a small movement and woke him up.
Liang Qian smiled and shook his head as an answer, then pinched the quilt and fell asleep, and as soon as he lay back on the bed, Pei Yibai stretched out his arm and hugged her. Liang Qian couldn't raise his head for a while, so he could only lean on his chest with his eyes down, and listen to him, "What? Having a nightmare? ”
"It's not a nightmare," said no one in the dark room, unable to see a woman's lying face, "just thinking of the funeral during the day." ”
"No wonder ......" Pei Yibai said with a sigh, hugging her tighter.
"What's the wonder?"
"I woke up once before, and I saw that although you were asleep, you frowned from time to time." This man's voice was so gentle, like a competent opening teacher, who persuaded her, "After this time, everything will be fine." ”
Liang Qian finally couldn't help but look up at him.
This is a man who can make people feel like a storm at a glance, but at this moment he is quiet, soft, casual, and indisputable, but even so, he can always inadvertently exude heroism and deterrence from his eyebrows...... Liang Qian thought he had read him.
Liang Qian closed his eyes, wanted to end the conversation, wanted to fall asleep, and with a sleepy voice, he spread out leisurely in Liang Nuan's bedroom: "You don't understand ......"
Liang Qian turned around, very quiet, even his snort gradually eased, as if he was really asleep, but in fact, his eyes were still open, but his eyes were blank, and there was no emotion.
Pei Yibai looked at the woman's sideways back, subconsciously reached over, but stopped when his fingers were about to touch her shoulder, hesitated, withdrew his hand silently, and lay on his back like this, looking at the empty ceiling, keeping his eyes open until dawn.
The cold sun pierced the haze of the clouds, and at that moment, the sleepless night ended. Pei Yibai turned his head to look at the woman who had been sleeping on her side all night, and got up lightly.
A new day began again, Pei Yibai washed and changed clothes as usual, and in the cloakroom, the dressing mirror that had been broken before had already been replaced with a brand new mirror without any cracks.
Pei Yibai has long been accustomed to standing in front of the mirror and wearing a tie, while reminding himself in his heart: Pei Yibai, you don't love her...... Don't love ......
Don't love ......
