Chapter 90: Something Happened
"Xiao Yan, why did you remember to call me?"
Hua Yan leaned outward, looked at Su Xiaoran with a little scruples, and said softly.
Su Xiaoran couldn't hear Qiao Xiaoyan's voice, she could only guess what Qiao Xiaoyan said from Hua Yan's facial expressions. At first, Hua Yan's face was quite calm, Su Xiaoran thought it was just a small talk between good friends, but after a while, Hua Yan's expression immediately cooled down and became very ugly, and even Su Xiaoran, who had never seen him frown, began to see his thick black eyebrows twisted together.
Something big must have happened, right? Could it have anything to do with Chenxi?
"Okay, I got it." A few minutes later, Hua Yan finally hung up the phone. Before Su Xiaoran could speak, Qiqi pulled his throat and asked, "What did she tell you?" Look at the nervousness on your face! ”
"Nothing, let's continue." Hua Yan smiled lightly, and there was worry in his black eyes that could not be hidden.
"Huayan, is there something wrong with Melbourne?"
"If there is anything you can do, don't worry about it!" Hua Yan turned her head and asked the boss to serve a few dishes of barbecue, Qiqi looked at Hua Yan with white eyes while nibbling on chicken wings: "I said, tell us about Qiao Xiaoyan, why did you become good friends?" ”
"You mean Xiaoyan?" Hua Yan rolled her eyes, with a warm smile in her memory. "That has to start from a very young age, in fact, Xiaoyan and Chenxi they met earlier than me, I knew them when they were already in high school, you don't know, at that time Chenxi and Xiaoyan were transfer students who transferred back from abroad, Chenxi was handsome, and his academic performance was good, as soon as he came, he robbed the position of the grass in our school, overnight, many girls who had a crush on me turned to worship him, you don't know how big the shadow area in my heart was at that time."
Hua Yan took a big sip of wine as she spoke, and Su Xiaoran held her chin, very interested in their story.
"And what about later? How did you become good friends? "Qiqi has never been immune to gossip.
"Later......" Hua Yan's bright eyes looked at the night sky full of stars, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Later, of course, I was looking for Chenxi to fight alone, I challenged him, whoever takes the position of the first school grass in the final exam will belong to whom, but do you know how that guy from Chenxi answered?" He actually rejected my challenge in front of everyone, saying that he had no interest in the identity of the school grass, and that he could let me if I liked it. ”
"Huh." Su Xiaoran couldn't help laughing, this is very Chenxi, and only Chenxi can say such things.
"And then ...... My sister fell in love with Chenxi, and I didn't agree at first, after all, Chenxi used to make me very unhappy. I thought that a stinky temper like him would definitely not look down on my sister, but who knows, one day they are really together, and I saw that Chenxi was so good to Xiaomeng, so I didn't say anything. ”
Hua Yan lowered his head, every time he mentioned Xiaomeng, he looked like this, and so did Chenxi.
"That'...... What about Koiwa? She must have liked Chenxi at that time, right? Chenxi and Xiaomeng are together, is she okay? Su Xiaoran wanted to know the answer to this question the most, and it was also the most difficult question to ask.
Hua Yan's face regained her calm, and she said lightly: "Xiao Yan! She...... Seriously, she is really good to Chenxi, we can all see that she likes Chenxi very much, but she didn't say it herself, so we pretended to be stupid. In the two years that Chenxi and Xiaomeng have been together, Xiaoyan has never said a word of no, she is really a very rare girl. ”
I see.
Su Xiaoran felt that her face was hot, compared to Qiao Xiaoyan's waiting and silent dedication to Chenxi, what was her little emotion?
Qiqi suddenly slapped Su Xiaoran's head violently: "What do you think?" The person Chenxi likes is you, what's the use of being good? You have to like each other! ”
"Hehe, Xiaoran, you shouldn't mind, right?" Hua Yan was rarely serious, Su Xiaoran pursed her lips and smiled: "I just think Xiao Yan is really good to Chenxi." ”
"I can also be very good to you, don't think so much, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"
Hua Yan opened another bottle of wine, and under the bright moonlight, the three of them raised their glasses accordingly, sympathizing with each other.
It was already three o'clock when the show ended, Hua Yan was almost drunk, and called a substitute driver to go back, Qiqi followed Su Xiaoran into a taxi, and the two swayed all the way back, Su Xiaoran helped Qiqi upstairs with difficulty, and she also collapsed on the floor when she threw Qiqi on the sofa.
Drinking is a tiring job, especially if you have to take care of other people who are drunk.
Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye, Su Xiaoran has never felt that time flies so quickly, as if only in her sigh, Chenxi has been gone for a few days.
Midnight.
Did Chenxi sleep, or stayed up late to work overtime?
Su Xiaoran sat on the toilet, extremely conflicted in her heart, she wanted to hear Chenxi's voice, and she was afraid that she would disturb his rest.
There is a photo of her and Chenxi in the phone, this is the only one, in the photo, Chenxi is fair-skinned, still doesn't like to smile, but it is unusually good-looking.
Once, just once.
Sensibility is greater than rationality, Su Xiaoran took a deep breath and dialed Chenxi's phone.
About ten seconds later, Chenxi's lazy voice sounded, and a clear spring flowed through Su Xiaoran's heart, she opened her mouth, but she felt that her throat was blocked by something, and she couldn't speak.
"Still not sleeping so late?"
Chenxi should have just woken up from his sleep, Su Xiaoran's heart was pounding, and he could only say a single word with all his strength.
"Xiaoran."
"Huh?"
"I might ...... I can't go back for the time being. ”
Chen Xi's voice was mixed with a little helplessness, Su Xiaoran looked at the white light and said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you." ”
"Then let's do it first, shall we?"
Su Xiaoran didn't ask why, but hung up the phone by herself, and Chenxi's voice could only stay in her head.
So that's it, right?
yes, what if you don't? She couldn't ask him why, and she didn't want to ask too much about what he didn't want to say.
It was the sound of the water rushing, Su Xiaoran closed her eyes, and let the cool water flow down her cheeks and neck, Chen Xi said for the time being, when will it be the end, she doesn't know.
The next day, Su Xiaoran was woken up by Hua Yan's phone call.
Hua Yan first asked her if she had woken up, and with some hesitation in her words, Su Xiaoran jumped up from the bed and asked about Chenxi.
"Huayan, tell me honestly, did something happen on that phone call last night?"
"Xiaoran, why don't you come out, I have something very important to tell you."
Su Xiaoran dressed as fast as she could, then glanced at Qiqi sleeping on the sofa, she took a small blanket for Qiqi, and then closed the door softly and went out.
Hua Yan made an appointment at a morning tea shop, and when Su Xiaoran arrived, Hua Yan was already sitting there, with a rich morning tea on the table.
"What the hell is going on?" Before he sat down, Su Xiaoran asked eagerly.
"Xiaoran, there's a problem in Melbourne." Hua Yan's face was solemn, Su Xiaoran had never seen him so serious.
"What the hell is going on?!"
It turned out that Qiao Xiaoyan called Hua Yan last night to call for help, and several shareholders on the head office reversed their word, and they originally said that they would elect the new chairman according to the equity distribution, but they secretly diluted the equity, resulting in the stagnation of the company's business, the purpose of which is to prevent Chenxi or Qiao Jiang from covering the sky with one hand.
Hua Yan's father still has some connections in his hands, so Qiao Xiaoyan will make this call to Hua Yan.
"Xiaoran, Chenxi is really in big trouble this time, now he is facing more than just Qiao Jiang's persecution, but the movement of the shareholders of the entire company, if it is not handled well, then all his parents' previous efforts are likely to be in vain."
Hua Yan looked at Su Xiaoran, in stark contrast to the liveliness of the morning tea room, and they could hear each other's heavy breathing quietly.
"Huayan, do you have a way to save Chenxi?" Su Xiaoran kept rubbing her fingers, and Hua Yan sighed softly: "I'm here to tell you about this." I contacted Chenxi in the morning, and he wouldn't let me tell you, but I think you have the right to know the truth. Xiaoran, I may have to rush to Melbourne tomorrow, I can't watch Chenxi being squeezed. ”
"I'll go with you!"
"No, you stay here, and your going will only make Chenxi more chaotic. Besides, he won't let me tell you, so you need to keep quiet about this for the time being. Believe me, believe in Chenxi, we can handle everything. ”
Looking at Hua Yan's determined gaze, Su Xiaoran lowered her head, she didn't understand, but she could only pretend not to understand.
When Hua Yan left, Su Xiaoran didn't go to the airport to see him off, she stayed at home alone, read, sleep, and did anything she could, just not allowing herself to think cranky.
After a long day of waiting, Su Xiaoran waited for Hua Yan's call.
The moment she heard the phone ringing, Su Xiaoran was very excited, she didn't care why Chenxi didn't call her in person but Huayan, all she wanted was news from him.
Hua Yan said that his father personally came forward to suppress their momentum, and at present, the few shareholders who want to do things secretly have eased up, at least slightly repaired, and they will soon be able to return to China.
In order to make Su Xiaoran feel at ease, Hua Yan also secretly took a photo of Chenxi. In the photo, Chenxi is sitting in the conference room to speak, wearing a black suit, capable and mature.
Looking at Chenxi's handsome side face in the photo, Su Xiaoran couldn't help laughing: He will be fine after all, as long as he can return safely this time, she will definitely not ask about other things, Dingdang.
