As soon as Chen Om went out, Old Man Bai walked in out of nowhere, he came to Bai Muling on crutches, looked at Bai Muling with a stunned expression, shook his head and sighed.

"It's just a man, look at what you've become when you've lost your soul. You should have done this a long time ago, or our father and daughter are the closest, and people with foreign surnames are not credible after all! There are no fathers and sons in the mall! Chen Om, that kid, you have to be on guard. Bai's, after all, it's something that your father left you. ”

"Yes, Dad."

Old Man Bai nodded with satisfaction, and walked to the door of the conference room on crutches, as if he remembered something.

"That reporter, if nothing else, is already at the airport, and you find someone to stop him. People, after all, you have to keep your mouth tighter. ”

Bai Muling couldn't help but tremble as he looked at Old Man Bai's figure disappearing at the door.

As my father said, there are no fathers and sons in the mall, only winners and losers.

She looked at the string of numbers that flipped out of her phone, hesitated for a moment, and pressed the screen off.

In the café diagonally opposite the Bai Group, Xiang Hai leisurely drank coffee. The scene of Chen Wei being taken away by the police was his sugar, he couldn't hold back for a while, and drank cup after cup of bitter coffee, until his stomach was a little supportive.

At this time, the quiet and elegant woman was already sitting opposite him, and the two looked at each other wordlessly, and suddenly they both smiled.

Bai Muling reached out and shook hands with Xiang Hai.

"Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome." Xiang Hai smiled, "Thank you for your willingness to help me deal with the incident more than 20 years ago." ”

"It's just profit-driven. Besides, more than 20 years ago, I did some indecent things to him and his wife, and I am also a bad person. If you want to bring me down, it's possible. ”

Xiang Hai smiled gently, and there was a hint of coldness between his eyebrows. He took a sip of his coffee and said, "He said in his last words, if I see you, let me apologize to you on his behalf." He didn't mean it all started, but he did some harm to you, and he's sorry. So some of your revenge on him has given him a comfort in conscience. So, we'll never be rivals. ”

Bai Muling didn't speak.

Xiang Hai said, "He said thank you, so that he experienced a trace of life in the years when he didn't know whether to live or die." ”

"It's over, we don't need to meet again in the future, thank you for helping me. Oh, by the way, remember to guard against your son, he's not a thief. He was no less than his father. I have here some of the things that he can't see that I will give you, so that you can use them as a counterbalance, and of course on the condition that he do not disturb my life. Also, the Chen family will not sit idly by and watch Chen Wei go to prison, you still have a battle to fight. Have a great day, Miss Bai. ”

Xiang Hai nodded gracefully to Bai Muling. He walked out of the café, stood in the sunshine and stretched, stopped a car, and walked away without hesitation.

It was only at this time that the tears that Bai Muling had been enduring welled up. For the first time in her life, she couldn't care about other people's eyes, lying on the coffee table and crying, she cried that she had lied to herself over the years, and she also cried that she was scolded by herself for being gay and shameless

of the man's tragic past.

She actually wanted to thank the young man, thank him for giving him a chance to repent, thank him for helping her family business tide over the crisis, and even thank him for giving her son a check.

She cried for a long time, and when the tears were over, she took out her mobile phone, pressed the screen, and clicked delete directly on the string of numbers.

At this moment, Bai Mu was inspired to be extremely relaxed, she wiped away her tears in everyone's eyes, and walked out of the door to stand in the sun, she was still Bai Mu Ling.

Xu Jiang looked at Xiang Hai, who was constantly busy, holding the mobile phone in his hand and hesitating for a long time, but still said, "Hey, it's so ruthless, Xiao Jiang is still waiting for you to invite you to dinner, and you just left?" ”

Xiang Hai took out an envelope from his bag and threw it over.

Xu Jiang stretched out his hand to catch it, touched the thickness, and sighed twice, "Take money to buy?" Is that the kind of person the girl is? ”

Xiang Hai put the baseball cap on his head, and the movement of packing things in his hands was fast, completely ignoring Xu Jiang, who was staring at him for a long time in his room. Xu Jiang was really impatient, and asked him in wonder, "Let's leave now?" ”

"Hmm."

"And what about your suitor? It's really good to release other pigeons like this? ”

"Shut up!" A pillow was thrown at him, Xu Jiangli reached out to catch it, and smiled.

"Oh, they all say that women are blushing, although you are a man, you are also a disaster. Thankfully, we have a fetish. ”

Xiang Hai walked out of the door of the movie theater and ran directly to the bus stop. I waited three buses for the bus I was going to take. He couldn't wait to get on it. When he got off the bus and got into the minivan, he thought that he could actually let Xu Jiang deliver it directly.

But it doesn't matter, the pickup truck will pull him into the village.

The pickup truck drove quickly, and the half-open glass windows sometimes revealed the cheerful laughter of the two chatting. In the gap of the cold field, Xiang Hai looked at the big sun outside the glass in a daze.

Because it was close to the village, there were already intermittent catkins floating over, shining silver and white in the sun, like small dandelions, although beautiful, but people were distressed.

He didn't deliberately call Lin Yilan to explain, and secretly rejoiced with the thought he couldn't understand. I just want to see her as soon as I get out of the car, and the sunflower in front of my house.

The truck driver seemed to understand what he was thinking, and the truck was driving a little faster than before. Ten minutes later, he finally stopped at the door of the house, paid the driver, and got out of the car without hesitation with a small bag.

He had only been away for a few days, and when he saw the wooden fence again, it was as if he had been out of the house for a long time, and even the dirt under his feet was soft and unfamiliar.

The locks on the fence were only lightly hung, and the roses on the feet had grown a large section, and the cosmos on both sides of the road had grown three layers of leaves, and they were too dark green and shiny.

Xiang Hai smiled at the rustling sunflowers from afar, these small flowers had grown to the height of his shoulders, and a small cluster of green leaf-wrapped buds hugged in the interlaced cross leaves, looking petite and cute and vibrant.

To the sea

Graciously leaned over and reached out to touch the leaves with fine thorns.

"Are you alright?"

He probably thought he was doing a little stupid, scratched his head, tightened the small satchel in his hand, and ran straight into the house. The door was locked, which was expected, but he was also a little disappointed.

He pulled the key out of his bag and opened the door, frowning at the slight smell of the room.

Xiang Hai was angry and funny, and patted his head. He wanted to come back, but he forgot to tell Lin Yilan on the phone that he would go out to travel and relax. People went out to travel, but he forgot about this stubble.

He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the other party's number, and was surprised to hear the female voice of the shutdown prompt. Maybe her phone is out of battery.

Xiang Hai thought so and went back to his room. The moment he opened the door, he originally thought it would be a layer of dust, but he didn't expect everything to be the same, but it was clean, but it was not ventilated for a long time, and it was a little stuffy. He opened the window to ventilate and looked around, the feeling of finally settling down made him feel new and cherished.

He drank a belly full of coffee at noon and didn't even eat. He clutched his hungry stomach and went to the refrigerator, but immediately cried with a sad face. He had expected that there would be a lot of food that he could eat when it was hot, but all he could see was sliced bread in the refrigerator.

He didn't give up and immediately didn't call Lin Yilan's mobile phone again, and the female voice that was still mechanical told him ruthlessly that the other party had turned off the phone.

Xiang Hai resigned himself to carrying a bag of sliced bread and went to the kitchen to boil water.

After eating three bags of sliced bread, I felt that my stomach was full, and my whole mood improved. He glanced at his phone with a green screen, and the ruthless mechanical female voice seemed to ring in his ears again. He snorted in feign senselessness, threw his phone on the bed, and took his clothes to take the shower.

While the sound of water in the bathroom sounded, the oars of the rowing boat on the other side did not make a single sound of water.

It is very comfortable to take a boat ride on a green waterway.

The sound of the water is not loud, and occasionally a variety of unknown species of birds and dragonflies touch the water, leaving a string of pleasant birdsong to send to the guests who come from afar. Compared to the mysterious and elegant bamboo forest, this is undoubtedly a quieter place.

The boat has a deep draft and a high water line, Lin Yilan reached out and scooped up a handful of lake water and lifted it into the air, seeing that the water masses were all kinds of irregular water masses and fell back to the water, he felt happy in his heart at the same time, and he was unconsciously addicted.

She was splashing water on this side, and suddenly she heard the water rise again.

Lin Yilan turned back to Li Heng and smiled as she splashed water.

Although the two of them didn't have any extra words, the atmosphere was not awkward.

The boatman's boat was steadfast, and after turning a corner, he entered the lotus bush ahead.

In the study.

Xiang Hai took out the file from the bookshelf, unsealed the thread, pulled out the contents and threw them into the trash, picked up the documents on the table and put them in the file bag with their backs to them, and wrapped the seals.

He looked at the most ordinary file bag on the market, bent down and took out the key from under the table leg, and opened the drawer.

The position of the diary and pen inside is different from what I am used to. With a slight hesitation, he took out his pen and wrote the words "scratch paper" on it, and put the file bag back in its place.

On the desk were the two notebooks.

He opened the brown notebook first, and he saw that at the end of the note, the short hair he had used as a mark was still there. Closing the notebook, he scooped up his diary and opened it from the front, and the short hair that was caught in the inner page of the last diary was gone.

He pursed his lips without seeing the joy or sorrow, turned to the reverse side of the diary, and reopened it.

At the end of the diary, the short hair was still there.

Only then did his expression loosen slightly.

The brown notebook slumped silently in Xiang Hai's hand, and he took it, staring at the short hair, a little in a state of self-doubt.

He couldn't figure out how he was feeling right now, whether he wanted to see this hair, or if he didn't want to?

Xiang Hai's throat moved, and he didn't know how many times he swallowed this despair alive, and his eyes fell on the last line of the diary.

"Xiang Hai, I entrust such an important matter to you, if it is her father's enemy, I don't blame you for not being punished. It's just that you must tell her that her father is an upright man, and those stains can't erase his love for oil painting, for our mother and daughter. ”

"Whew-"

Xiang Hai closed the notebook.
