"What's wrong?" Shen Mi couldn't help but ask.

Jason glanced at her, and then pulled Xi Lie aside.

I don't know what the two said, Xi Lie patted her on the shoulder and gestured to leave.

"You go and help her carry her things." Xi Lie commanded, and he had already strode straight to the garage.

"What's wrong? Tell me! Shen Mi asked anxiously.

"It's just that the prisoner is in a bad mood and suddenly wants to die for some reason. Don't worry about it, sister-in-law, we'll take care of it and come back. Jason helped her put her things down and sped away.

She had just seen that prisoner, and he seemed to have such a good mental quality, how could he suddenly seek death and life?

Back in the empty house, she cooked herself a bowl of noodles, and after eating, she lay down on the bed in a daze.

fell asleep, Xi Lie didn't return all night, and only sent her a text message saying that it was okay, don't read it.

Early the next morning, she received a call from Duan Li, asking her to go to the company.

After a brief packing of things, she hugged the computer and went to Dingyou.

As soon as she arrived outside the office, she was vigorously dragged into a safe passage to the side.

Seeing clearly, it was Jossizhe.

"What do you want to do?" Shen Mi asked, his tone was not good.

"It seems that after you put me in the bureau, you have a good life." Josie Zhe hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered.

Shen Mi rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"It seems that you are doing quite well, I heard that the children are all older, is it not appropriate to talk to me?"

Josie's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he slowly lifted a document from his hand.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Mi, your work is now under my control."

She frowned, raised her eyes and stared at him with a look of disdain, "Originally, I thought you just couldn't let go of your old feelings, but now it seems that you are simply a scumbag." ”

"So what, you don't have a choice, you didn't have it before, and you don't have it now." Josie Zhe said, smirking smugly, shaking the information in his hand like a victor.

"I'm afraid you're thinking too much, I'm not the same person I used to be." Shen Mi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I won't draw anymore, don't say anything about the contract or not, liquidated damages, I will pay for it!" ”

After speaking, she glanced at him and turned to leave.

"Run for what? Scared? Josie relentlessly grabbed her thin arm and asked rhetorically.

"It's just too lazy to be in the company of a scumbag like you, let me tell you, if you don't realize it again, don't blame me for being unkind!"

"Yo, why don't you want to be polite?" Josie laughed strangely, and pushed her with a big palm, and she was unsteady on her feet, and took a few steps back, and her back hit the wall, and she felt a faint pain.

Before she could react, his tall body leaned in and pinned her in front of the wall.

"Looks like you haven't had a long memory after what happened last time!" Shen Mi was a little annoyed and glared at him fiercely.

"I didn't do anything last time, but I was wronged!"

As he finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, smirking down to her face.

"Get out of here!" Shen Mi scolded, holding the computer and about to smash him, but unexpectedly he clamped his wrist, where was her opponent, she was actually controlled by him for a while, and she couldn't move.

"What are you doing?"

A deep voice rang out, and Josie quickly let go of her and turned away.

Shen Mi glanced at the person who came, it was actually Li Meng who met at dinner last time!

Glancing at Josie Zhe fiercely, she strode out.

"Thank you." She breathed a sigh of relief and said politely to Li Meng.

"This person harassing you? I saw him pull you over, and I waited a long time before I couldn't help but go in and find you. Li Meng lifted his glasses and said worriedly.

"It's just a scumbag, anyway, thank you for helping me." Shen Mi smiled gratefully.

The two chatted a few times, and she learned that Li Mengzheng came to recommend her manuscript to the editor-in-chief, and it has been tepid and uncomfortable all these years.

With that, the two found a nearby chair and sat down, and began to admire Li Meng's paintings.

Shen Mi took a look and suddenly found that this girl who looked weak on the outside, but her work was so heavy and dark.

People say that works can peek into people's hearts.

She was very curious about what kind of person this Li Meng was now.

"Did the style of painting make you feel uncomfortable?" Li Meng smiled, "It's normal to feel uncomfortable, many people don't like it, they think it's too dark." ”

"Well, I just thought, you can try to be cheerful." Shen Mi blinked and said sincerely.

Her painting story is very heavy, and the painting style is also very dark, but it doesn't affect her plot is a good plot, but maybe the audience will be relatively small, which is unacceptable.

"That's how I grew up when I was a kid, and I tried to be cheerful, but ......," she said, she shook her head helplessly, "so I envy you, there is positive energy in your works, which can make people happy." ”

Shen Mi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Everyone has their own unspeakable pain, and she has it, so she doesn't want to ask, and she doesn't want to stand on the high ground to judge or enlighten.

"Let's go, go to the editor-in-chief." She patted Li Meng on the shoulder, helped her organize her things, and then went to Duan Li's office.

Duan Li was busy reading the manuscript.

"Coming? Writer Shen, didn't Editor-in-Chief Qiao tell you that your manuscript has been attributed to him? Seeing Shen Mi, Duan Li blinked in confusion.

"I see, so I'd like to tell you I'm not going to paint anymore. You have prepared the compensation for breach of contract, and then we will talk about it. Shen Mi nodded and said straight to the point.

"Well, how do you ......?" Duan Li was confused by her, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

"I think a good editor is one of the factors that can make an author successful, but I don't have much trust in the ability of editor-in-chief Joe."

Duan Li frowned unhappily when he heard this, "You must know that he is my proud protégé, and his strength is good." ”

"I know, but I'm stronger than him, why should I have someone who is not as capable as me to be my editor?" Shen Mi said aggressively, regardless of Duan Li's expression, "Either you continue to be my editor, or forget it." ”

Duan Li sighed when he heard this, "I've also been too busy recently, and it just so happens that Editor-in-Chief Qiao is very interested in your manuscript and takes the initiative to take responsibility, so ...... Don't be angry, I'm going to come back. ”

The problem was solved, Shen Mi finally felt comfortable in his heart, nodded, and patted Li Meng, who was stunned on the side, "I'll go first, come on." ”

Li Mengmu nodded, and then slowly took out the manuscript from his bag.

When she came out of the company, she was always worried about Xi Lie's affairs, and called Jason, only to learn that they were in the hospital, and the prisoner had just been rescued and had not woken up yet.

asked for the specific location, and she hurried over.

There were many black-clothed people guarding the ward, surrounding the aisle, Shen Mi cautiously entered, and Xi Lie was in front of the bed with a straight face.

"Xi Lie." She whispered and quickly moved to him.

Xi Lie turned around and glanced at Jason with gloomy eyes, "Are you a spy now?" ”

Jason laughed dryly, "I called my sister-in-law because she was worried." ”

Shen Mi glanced at the person on the hospital bed, his forehead was wrapped in gauze, and there were faint blood stains and scars between his throat, which looked a little scary.

"What's going on?" She muttered.

"Last night, he suddenly went crazy and hurt himself, hit the wall a few times, and then poked his major artery with the chopsticks he was eating, but fortunately he was found in time," Jason sighed and shook his head.

"Until now, I took the mobile phone he used to get out of prison and sent a group text message, but I couldn't contact any of them, I wanted people to take this opportunity to see this person, but I didn't even have a figure, and I really didn't have a boring life in this life."

Shen Mi shook his head speechlessly, "Are you hungry, I'll go buy something to eat." ”

"Alright, we're ready to go home. It's just guarded. Xi Lie said, patting her head with his big hand, and tiredly took her into his arms.

The three of them went home in silence all the way, and because of Xi Lie's reprimand, Jason also shut up and didn't tell her anything.

When she got home, she drove Xi Lie to rest, and Jason sat in the living room, staring at the phone screen in a daze.

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Mi has never been a person with a lot of problems, but there have been too many things recently, and she can't figure it out in a fog, which is very uncomfortable.

"Looking at the surveillance, I always feel that someone will take this opportunity to meet the prisoner." Jason was talking, and asked Shen Mi to help him make a cup of strong tea.

"You can send someone to keep an eye on it!" She was puzzled.

"We also deliberately gave some space for others to take advantage of the opportunity, a lot of people are staring in the dark, in fact, there are only two people in the room staring."

Jason patiently explained, and then she understood what he meant, nodded understandingly, and said no more.

As the minutes ticked by, Jason yawned one yawn after another, his eyes red and he couldn't stand it.

"Sister-in-law, you help me stare for a while, and I'll squint for ten minutes."

Shen Mi nodded, took his mobile phone, and found that the surveillance camera was placed in what looked like a bedside table, and it was still in high definition, and the sound of the instruments in the ward could be heard.

Jason hugged a pillow, collapsed on the couch and fell asleep.

Stalking is undoubtedly boring and boring, and she didn't sleep for long after staring, and she was sleepy.

Just as she was drowsy, a thin figure suddenly appeared on the screen!

I can vaguely see that it's a girl.

I saw that she had spoken a few words to the guard, and took out something to show them, and then slowly moved to the bedside.

It was only when she got closer to Shen Mi that she saw her appearance clearly.

The hair was long like withered grass, and behind the thick lenses were a pair of blank eyes.

It's actually Li Meng, who has only seen two sides!

She was speechless as if she had been hit by five thunderbolts.

Zhao Zihao clearly said that this man has a daughter, but it is clearly not this name!

I saw Li Mengpestle at the head of the bed for a long time, without saying a word, and there was no sad expression on his face.

More often than not, it is apathy.

"I'll see you for the last time, and it has nothing to do with me if you die from now on, and I won't ask for your money, I'm dirty."

An indifferent female voice sounded, and Jason sat up from the couch, "What person?!" ”

Shen Mi quickly made a quiet gesture at him, staring at the surveillance screen carefully.

It seems that Li Meng is his daughter, and there is nothing wrong with it! The money he took was going to be given to Li Meng, but he never thought that Li Meng didn't appreciate it at all.

During the whole process, Li Meng only said one sentence, and then got up silently, leaving a lonely back in the picture.

Shen Mi suddenly could understand why there was always darkness and pain in her picture, her father who was a murderer since she was a child, and her life must have been very bad.

"Sister-in-law, why didn't you wake me up?" Jason asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Okay, you can go back to sleep, it's nothing important anyway." Shen Mi sighed and fell into deep contemplation.

After a long time, no one appeared except for Li Meng.

Soon after, the hospital called and said that the patient had woken up and was ready to be sent back to the detention center after his condition stabilized.

The two didn't go over again, and they didn't find anything for two days, and Luo Yanbei's situation was not very good, it seemed that all the coincidences pointed to Luo Yanbei, the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, there is no substantial evidence.

"By the way, my mother asked me to tell you that the Song family will hold a banquet to celebrate the golden wedding of the two old men in two days, and you must have time to pass."

At night, lying on the bed, Shen Mi suddenly remembered this stubble and admonished.

"I see."

"I heard that you have ignored Adjutant Song for the past two days, why?" In the dark night, Shen Mi blinked and asked casually.

"For my own reasons, of course." Xi Lie sighed, "How come you even know all this?" How did you buy Jason? ”

"It was Song Shuwen who said it herself, and I thought I told you something that you ignored her. Could it be that I was born with the attribute of carrying the pot? ”

She shook her head and muttered helplessly.

"Ignore it." Xi Lie said coldly.

"Then if you have anything to say, just make it clear to her yourself, if you are a girl, don't let people be wronged."

Shen Mi said and turned over and got into his arms, "I don't have to carry some black pots." ”

"I'll tell you when I'm done." Xi Lie stroked her soft hair and kissed her on the forehead.

The two chatted for a while, and Shen Mi became sleepy, turned over, and had a good night's sleep.

The days have been quiet in the past two days, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Song family's banquet.

Xi Lie really filled his time arrangement, and specially set aside this day to accompany the elders of the Xi family to the Song family.

Although the Song family held a banquet, in fact, the people who came were all people who were close, so there were not many.

When the Xi family came, Song Jingxuan looked very happy, and quickly beckoned them to sit at home for a while.

Shen Mi came to Song Shuwen's house for the first time.

The huge villa bungalows, the chic courtyard, the moment full of white tables and chairs, and an arch decorated with flowers, there is a band playing cheerful music not far away, quite like an outdoor wedding scene.

Today's weather is also very good, the autumn is crisp, and the courtyard is filled with the aroma of wine and the sweetness of cakes, mixed with a little fragrance of the earth.

"Uncle, aunt, grandpa, please take a seat, and our party will start in a moment." Song Shuwen was wearing a white dress, looking graceful and noble, with a pure but cold atmosphere.

Seeing Xi Lie, her eyes flashed, she closed her mouth awkwardly, and did not greet him.

Shen Mi shook his head helplessly and pulled Xi Lie outside to wander around.

For nothing else, she was very interested in the delicious food on the kitchen table outside.

Song Shuwen and Mrs. Song greeted the guests outside, Shen Mi's eyes were dripping, admiring the exquisite desserts, and the sun made her a little lazy.

After a while, I saw an elongated business car parked at the door, and two men got out of it, one old and one young, both wearing black suits, looking very powerful.

The young man was still holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand and walked straight towards Song Shuwen.

Song Shuwen smiled, took the flower, and then greeted the man.

Shen Mi also watched it for a long time before she reacted, this man was the blind date of Song Shuwen, whom she had met once.

"Do you know that man?" She couldn't help but tug at Xi Lie's sleeve and asked.

Xi Lie glanced at it, "I don't know. ”

"That person is Adjutant Song's blind date, I met it once." She muttered, looking at them incessantly.

I saw that the man looked polite, bowed his eyebrows in front of the elders, was very polite, plus he was tall and long-legged, white-skinned and beautiful, standing with Song Shuwen's big beauty, visually it looked really a pair of golden boys and girls who were particularly eye-catching.

Mrs. Song smiled and groaned, and seemed to appreciate this man very much.

"Let's go inside." Xi Lie patted her head and found that she was staring at others too much, and couldn't help but speak.

Not long after the two entered, Song Shuwen led the man over and took the lead in front of the Xi family.

The man actually bowed respectfully, greeted them one by one, and specially greeted Chen Man, calling "Aunt Man." ”

Shen Mi realized it later, and then remembered that this man seemed to have been introduced by Chen Man, so he should be someone he knew.

"It's so good, our Wenwen is a good girl, Siyuan, you have to treat others well! Otherwise, Aunt Man would be angry. Chen Man said with a smile, and Song Shuwen laughed on the side.

"Yes, Aunt Man." The man smiled, glanced at Song Shuwen without a trace, with a gentle smile on his face, and looked really gentle.

Shen Mi didn't join in the fun.

She didn't forget what Song Shuwen was doing on the day she was tied up, and why did this man leave her and run away.

No one can believe in this terrible world.

After a while, a lot of guests came, and the time was close to noon, and the two protagonists, the two old couples of the Song family, dressed up and appeared.

I saw that Old Man Song was in good spirits, and exchanged a few words with Xi Chongjin before going upstairs to invite his wife to appear.

Looking at the old lady in a white wedding dress, Shen Mi's eyes were straight.

Although the years have left a lot of marks on her old man's face, she wears a wedding dress, with silver hair, but her beautiful eyes are still clear, and she looks very beautiful, as if she can see the shadow of her youth from her body.

"It's so pretty." Shen Mi couldn't help but sigh.

Xi Lie's eyes flashed, and he sighed faintly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't let you wear a wedding dress, let's find time to shoot a set."

Shen Mi didn't know why his brain circuit suddenly turned to herself, and shook her head speechlessly, "I don't mean anything else, I just think the old lady is so good-looking, golden wedding, so amazing." ”

"We will too." Xi Lie said, holding her hand tightly.

Because it was the golden wedding of the two old people, they ingeniously wanted them to walk the red carpet of the wedding again, the two old men were as happy as children, and the old lady still had the slightest shyness on her face.

The guests moved outside, sat on the chairs that had been set up a long time ago, and Shen Mi looked around, only to find that although the Song family was very famous, there didn't seem to be many people.

At this moment, it seems that there are two generations of single transmission, Song Jingxuan and Song Shuwen, there are no brothers and sisters, and they look extremely thin.

At this time, Song Shuwen helped the old lady, stepped on melodious music, walked slowly through the arch amid the cheers of everyone and scattered flowers, and stood on the platform on the side.

"Thank you for coming to our Golden Wedding Banquet for Mr. and Mrs. Song! After 50 years of supporting each other, the two elders are still in love with each other, and they are really envious of others。。。。。。 ”

As the host spoke, he began to introduce the deeds of the two old men when they were young, and the bits and pieces of affection, the audience was all moved, and for a while, the scene was rendered warm and moving.

"Dad, you see how much Jing Xuan cares, you should have been so lively back then, isn't it good for so many people to witness it?" Xi Yingjie said, smiling at Xi Chongjin, who had a burning light in his eyes.

"Yes, time flies so fast, Old Song is almost eighty, and Jing Xuan is also old."

Xi Chongjin sighed with emotion, "When I see him, I think of my handsomeness, if it's still there, it is estimated that the two of them are still very good brothers!" ”

Xi Yingjie's expression froze.

"Dad, such a good day, let's not think about this."

Shen Mi on the side had already pricked up his ears and listened to all of this.

Song Jingxuan is a good brother of the second uncle, and this is the first time she has heard of it.

When she was stunned, cheers rang out all around, and when she looked up, she saw that the old man Song was holding the old lady Song's face and kissing it at the instigation of everyone, and the old woman was so ashamed that she gently punched him on the arm.

She heard Xi Lie's long-lost chuckle.

I can't see that he, an iron man, has an inexplicable soft part, which is strange and exciting.

"Looks like you're really envious." Shen Mi blinked and muttered in his ear.

"Well, I'm thinking about what you're like when you're eighty." He nodded and said leisurely.

"Cut." Shen Mi rolled his eyes speechlessly, "What's there to think, didn't you say that I will be bald after the age of forty?" ”

"That is to say, bald Shen Mi." Xi Lie lowered his eyes and smiled, but felt that the tip of his nose was a little sour.

Snorting and taking a deep breath, he tilted his head and rubbed his swollen eyes.

......

If he was eighty years old and still had her by his side, even if he was bald, he would be so happy that he would laugh out a row of teeth.

Considering the energy of the two old men, the master of ceremonies made a fuss for a while, then gave up, and it was Song Jingxuan's turn to go up to give a speech, and after a polite word, everyone began to move to the restaurant for lunch.

The dining room in Song Shuwen's house is really big, and at this moment there is a huge long table full of exquisite dishes, which makes people's appetites move.

During the banquet, Song Jingxuan held a wine glass and toasted everyone back and forth, Song Shuwen helped pour wine on the side, and helped block a few glasses from time to time.

The man named Gu Siyuan replaced her with great insight, and was about to follow Song Jingxuan to toast, but was stopped by her.

Shen Mi was eating delicious food, but she felt that the tip of her nose was hot, Xi Lie quickly handed over a tissue, and then helped her to the bathroom.

"It's weird, I haven't taken any tonic recently, why do I still have nosebleeds?" Shen Mi hung her head and asked Xi Lie to pat her neck with cold water.

He saw it in his eyes and hurt in his heart.

A heart was tugged at and ached.

"It's going to be fine." He muttered.

"Isn't it just a nosebleed, looking at you like this, you still think I have some terminal illness." Shen Mi glanced at him and found that his expression was a little ugly, and couldn't help muttering.

"Thank you very much for coming today, but we haven't reached that point yet, Mr. Gu."

The two were talking, and Song Shuwen's low voice came from outside.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Gu Siyuan replied politely.

"I'm sorry to say I'm sorry, I'm really not ready to start accepting a man again, if you mind, we're ......"

"I know that liking someone is not so easy to change, I am still young and can afford to wait." Gu Siyuan said, making the atmosphere of the two in the bathroom a little awkward.

"Thanks, I still don't like such a burden." Song Shuwen pondered for a moment and said apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I'm too impatient." The man blindly apologized, and Shen Mi seemed to be able to hear Song Shuwen's helpless sigh.

"If you think about it and explain why you drugged me in my wine that day and then left me alone, I will think about whether you are worth believing as a person." Song Shuwen's words changed, and his tone was suddenly cold.

Shen Mi was shocked when he heard this, and almost subconsciously held his breath and listened to the sound outside.

"I said, I really didn't know about the medicine that day, it might be my friend's prank, as for why I left you, something did happen at the time, and I didn't expect you to get drunk with a drink, and I couldn't get through when I called you later......," Gu Siyuan explained unhurriedly.

"So, is there any evidence, call logs or something?" Song Shuwen asked indomitively.

"I have to answer many phone calls every day, and the call log is also cleaned every day, you can not accept me as a person, but I have no reason to do that to you." Gu Siyuan seemed to be angry, and his tone instantly became cold.

It was quiet outside for a while, and suddenly Song Shuwen's laughter came.

"I'm sorry, I'm probably drunk, don't mind."

A sound of footsteps was far away, Shen Mi couldn't come back to his senses, and glanced at Xi Lie, who was frowning and didn't say a word.

It sounds like Song Shuwen was really wronged by her.

It's just that the man's explanation is too pale.

I didn't know how to eat for lunch, Song Shuwen hadn't shown up since just now because he had drunk a lot of wine, Song Jingxuan was also drunk and sent off guests from all walks of life, and Mrs. Song on the side was good-natured and mixed his arm.

After the meal, the driver sent several elders back to the old house, and Shen Mi followed Xi Lie home.

Xi Lie changed into his formal clothes, patted her on the shoulder, and paced to the study, thinking that he should have something to do, so she didn't bother.

Snuggled up on the couch, she was contemplating today's manuscript.

There was a vibration sound, and she touched it and found that it was not her phone.

After looking for a long time, he took out his mobile phone in the pocket of Xi Lie's coat on the side, and wanted to send it to him, but when it became clear that it was Xi Yingyue, he picked it up by himself.

Before she could say hello, Xi Yingyue's voice hurriedly came.

"Lie'er, you hurriedly coaxed your niece and daughter-in-law, I don't know who directly blew up the photos of your niece and daughter-in-law to the media, I have eaten a meal, and it has been spread all over the world! Come on! ”

Shen Mi was stunned when he heard this.

Silently hung up the phone, then took out his mobile phone and opened the website that often swiped gossip messages.

"It seems that an indecent photo of a certain lady is leaking out! The scale is staggering! ”

"According to the whistleblower, the protagonist of the indecent photo is a wealthy lady!"

......

Clicking on the photo, her breathing stagnated, and her blood instantly coagulated.

Although she was heavily coded, her face was not exposed, and the key parts were also marked with imaginary garbled codes, but in that unsightly flesh-colored photo, she saw at a glance the white dress she was wearing that day, as well as the necklace that Xi Lie gave her.

It was shining in the light with a desperate sheen.

peace of mind says:

to this day. After a lot, in just one month, it seems that the eighteen layers of hell have switched back and forth.

Wen is indeed a lot more confused with his mood, and after chatting with friends today, he became a lot more cheerful.

Thank you to the friends who are still supporting me, I feel sorry for you, and I will work hard to make myself feel better in the future.

The first, the second, I don't know how long I'll write later.

As long as you are here, I will always work hard at the beginning.

Thanksgiving. (It's true that I felt a little tearful today.) ）
