Chapter Seventy-Four: Flooding Water
Pei Yibai then sat down beside her.
The maid was busy preparing a set of tableware, Pei Yibai's hair and coat were wet after the rain, but he didn't care about it, took the dishes and chopsticks and ate it happily.
Liang Qian didn't leave, just sat there and watched him eat, sneering: "Which woman's bed did you go to last night, and now you have such a good appetite?" ”
Pei Yibai took the chopsticks in his hand, and just when Liang Qian thought that he was going to continue to pretend to move the chopsticks to eat as if nothing happened, he put the chopsticks down.
The servant finally couldn't hold back this time, so he suddenly bullied over, picked up the whole stack of newspapers and hugged them into his arms, and apologized vigorously: "It's my negligence, I'm ...... I forgot to sift through the newspaper before bringing it over. ”
Compared with the servant's eagerness, Pei Yibai was extremely calm, took a napkin and tried the corners of his mouth, his movements were slow and elegant, but his eyes were like knives, and he slashed at Liang Qian's body coldly and hard.
Pei Yibai smiled as if comforting the maid: "There's nothing to be sorry for." My wife, who keeps saying that she went to New Zealand to visit her grandmother, was she photographed traveling with other men in New York? ”
What he said was obviously comforting to the servant, but his eyes did not leave Liang Qian for a moment. Liang Qian was stared at by him, and he couldn't help frowning anymore.
At this moment, Liang Qian's heart was very anxious, but his face was too peaceful. Two years ago, Johnny Vale had introduced a consortium to the Liang family, but missed the opportunity because Zhou Mo was arrested at the airport.
coincided with a group of college classmates who invited her to New York to attend the annual party, and with the class reunion as a cover, even if this man found any clues, she could easily lie.
It's a pity that the original Liang's products have long been hidden by Lu Mingyuan one by one, and she now only has "Yayan" in hand, the brand value is low, and the prospects are not optimistic, so it is difficult to pull Zhuang Linrui's capital with this. She and Zhou Mo stayed in New York for two weeks, but they could only negotiate with Zhuang Linrui's chief operating officer, and they didn't even meet Zhuang Linrui.
Liang Qian cleaned up his mood and said to the innocent servant, "You go down first." ”
The maid obviously didn't want to get involved in the couple's dispute, nodded and immediately ran away, at this time, Pei Yibai had already folded his hands under his chin for a long time, and looked at her with a smile: "Why are you so worried?" It seems that you and Zhou Mo didn't have a good time in New York. ”
After working hard to travel between New Zealand and New York without making any progress, how can she not be worried? What can be used to hide the loss? She could only question in a stiff tone: "Are you looking for someone to follow me?" ”
"I'm so busy, how can I have time to take care of your private life? It was the editor-in-chief of that newspaper who had a little friendship with me and suppressed the news for me. ”
This man didn't seem to have discovered the true purpose of her and Zhou Mo's trip to New York, Liang Qian thought that he could breathe a sigh of relief, but for some reason, look
Seeing that he was in a good mood, she only felt that something was suddenly blocked in her throat, which made her whole body extremely depressed.
The photo in the newspaper flashed to my mind, and the two people ...... Look at each other and smile. Liang Qian was almost uneasy, and the guise of the class reunion that had been planned for a long time was left behind by her in an instant, but she had to be calm: "It seems that everyone is half a catty, and no one is qualified to blame anyone." ”
As soon as Liang Qian's voice fell, he couldn't wait to get up and leave: "I have to go back to the company to work, so I won't disturb your meal." ”
This time, Pei Yibai didn't stop her, and let her go all the way, almost in a blink of an eye, she went up to the center of the stairs. He looked at her expressionlessly, but at this moment he suddenly spoke: "Let's attend a friend's engagement in two days." ”
Liang Qian's footsteps slowed down, and he quickly recovered: "Doesn't Mr. Pei already have a ready-made female companion, and he still needs me to accompany him?" As she spoke, she had already gone up to the second floor, and from Pei Yibai's point of view, the woman was about to walk out of his sight, and then he added leisurely: "That's a mutual friend of you and me." ”
“……”
"Huo Liuyin."
Liang Qian's footsteps were steady.
How ironic should this scene be in the eyes of the man sitting at the table? So much so that he lowered his head and refused to look directly, and when he looked up again, she was missing from the corridor on the second floor.
Liang Qian entered the locker room to change clothes, planning to go back to work, and when he picked up a black suit hanging under the hanger, his movements stopped unconsciously. I couldn't help but hear a voice in my ears: I will attend a friend's engagement together in two days......
Huo Liuyin......
It seems that the people he knew in his previous life, and now when he thinks of this name, Liang Qian only feels that it is like a different world......
She was stunned in front of the hanger for an unknown amount of time, and Pei Yibai's voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Take the time to buy a dress for the engagement wedding." ”
Liang Qian suddenly regained his consciousness and stayed for two seconds, but finally didn't look back.
Pei Yibai glanced at the black, white and gray hanging on the hanger: "I almost forgot that you look other than wearing a professional suit." ”
Liang Qian turned a deaf ear, immediately took off his nightgown, and prepared to change his clothes: "I won't go." ”
Pei Yibai, who was completely ignored, did not see half of the loss, but leaned against the door, "Aren't you curious, what kind of woman did the man who fell in love with you so much marry in the end?" ”
Looking at her back, she seemed to be taking a deep breath, and sure enough, when she adjusted her breathing, she turned around and gave him a very polite smile: "Please go out, I want to change my clothes." ”
“……”
“……”
He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, unmoved.
Liang Qian sneered briefly, and didn't push him out, just turned his back, took off his nightdress directly, and changed into a shirt and a skirt.
Thin shoulders and neck, slender waist, slender legs......
Compared to two years ago
, This woman is a lot thinner, but every inch of her skin is quenched with the whiteness that he was familiar with. Pei Yibai leaned there, his movements unchanged, but his eyes dimmed several times.
At last she unzipped the side of her skirt with a "whoosh", turned her head and took a leather bag out of the glass case, and then walked towards the door, never looking at him again.
Only Pei Yibai leaned against the door, blocking her way.
Liang Qian had no choice but to hang his head, pull his hair by himself, and wait for him to give way. He didn't mean to get out of the way, but said lightly: "The opposite of love is not hate, but ignorance-Mrs. Pei, you have interpreted this sentence very well in the past two years." ”
Liang Qian couldn't help but laugh this time.
She raised her head leisurely and looked at the man in front of her with a smile, "Love? Don't disgust me with this word, I chose you just because you can help me defeat Liang Ziqing. It's just that in the end, I suffered the consequences of my own evil, and the family that you killed was ruined. Let's all ask ourselves, do you and I have the word 'love' in our hearts all the time? Liang Qian's fingers tapped at his chest, "It's just taking advantage of each other." ”
Liang Qian withdrew the hand that was pointing at his chest, forcibly rubbed his shoulder, and left.
At the moment when his shoulder collided, a slight pain quickly reached his heart along the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and Pei Yibai stood there, feeling a moment of heartbreaking.
And then little by little I regained my calm.
I don't know how long it took, there were footsteps looking upstairs, Pei Yibai was still standing there, with his back to the direction of the stairs, the footsteps stopped behind Pei Yibai, and then it sounded Secretary Li's voice: "Zhuang Linrui's special plane arrived in an hour and a half, Mr. Pei, it's time for us to leave." ”
Pei Yibai came back to his senses at this time, pinched his eyebrows, turned around and said expressionlessly, "Let's go." ”
After speaking, he followed Secretary Li towards the stairs.
Pei Yibai, who had already reached the halfway point, involuntarily stopped, looked back at the already empty dressing room, and familiar words gradually sounded in his ears:
From beginning to end, do you and I have the word 'love' in our hearts......
It's just taking advantage of each other......
Pei Yibai retracted his gaze and walked down the stairs, finally leaving the familiar voice behind him completely.
The heavy rain seems to be going to span the whole summer, and Liang Qian has not seen a clear blue sky for a week after returning to China, and the sky is dark and does not stop.
But she ushered in a ray of light in such a bad season.
I believe that this is by no means the dawn of her alone, otherwise Zhou Mo's voice would not have trembled so excitedly on the phone: "Mr. Zhuang is in China, and I have asked for his address." ”
Good luck fell from the sky, so that Liang Qian didn't dare to believe it: "You mean, Zhuang Linrui??" ”
"I'm at the hotel where he's staying right now, and he's only giving us thirty minutes, and you bring all the information."
Thirty minutes......
Now it's ...... 4 p.m.
For a while, there was only one left in Liang Qian's mind
Hovering around at this point in time, she pushed open her chair, crouched down, and pulled open the door at the bottom of her desk. All the materials she had brought with her on her last trip to New York were stored in this small safe in the gate. Time was pressing, so anxious that Liang Qian entered the wrong password twice, finally took out all the information, got up and carried his bag, and rushed out of the office directly.
Zhou Mo has sent the hotel address to her mobile phone. Liang Qian's mind was blank, he only knew that he had to gallop all the way, and only the sound of the windshield wipers in front of the windshield was left in his ears.
Originally, she took a shortcut just to get there faster, but when Liang Qian saw that the section of the downward road in front of the car had been completely flooded by heavy rain, she immediately tightened her heart and braked the car suddenly.
The sound of her thunderous heartbeat had long drowned out the sound of the windshield wipers, and Liang glanced at her watch, if she changed her route now, she would definitely not be able to reach her destination in 30 minutes.
The road was not flooded deeply, so she gritted her teeth, restarted the car, and drove directly into the downroad.
Seeing that she was about to drive to the middle of the road, and the water surface was only half submerged to the window at this time, Liang Qian estimated that the car should be able to pass the road smoothly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but change gears and accelerate.
That's when ......
"Hiss-" sound.
The car turned off automatically......
Liang Qian woke up in the hospital.
The last memory is still the moment when the water completely overflowed the carriage.
The last scene before fainting is frozen in the debris that blooms in the water when the car window is shattered by a sharp object.
