Two days ago, when Luo Xinyi suddenly received an invitation call from Zhou Yunlan, he was also very surprised.

Zhou Yunlan set the meeting place in a café near the commercial street, the boss is a quiet person, and he is also the master of the money, the consumption here is high, there are few customers, and the people who are here are all people who talk about big business.

As soon as she entered the door, Luo Xinyi saw Zhou Yunlan sitting in the corner, she raised her head and smiled politely at her.

Luo Xinyi ordered a cup of black coffee.

Zhou Yunlan said: "I heard Qiao Shen say that you haven't been in good health recently, so don't drink too much." ”

Luo Xinyi was as good as a stream, and changed a pot of tea.

Zhou Yunlan's attitude she couldn't figure out, this woman who had been in the mall for decades was too deep. Practiced that set of hidden needles to the extreme, you know that she has another purpose for asking you, but you can't see where her flaws are.

Zhou Yunlan asked her, "Are you feeling better?" ”

This question is like a greeting between old friends, and it is a heartwarming greeting when placed on others. However, it is obviously not suitable for the two of them. Since Qiao Hao's death, the two have not met in private. Even if they meet in public, they are at most nodding friends, and it is not as close as the two juniors.

Luo Xinyi saw the move, and said, "It's okay, I'm sorry for you." ”

was almost polite, and Zhou Yunlan finally got down to business, "Have you received the invitation to the centennial celebration of the third middle school?" ”

Hearing that it was the school anniversary, Luo Xinyi put down the stone in her heart, she said "um", and took a sip of tea rose tea with peace of mind.

The centennial celebration of No. 3 Middle School is a major event, and the school has sent invitation letters to all the top successful people in the past, and people like Zhou Yunlan and Luo Xinyi must not be missed.

Zhou Yunlan smiled and asked, "Are you going?" ”

Luo Xinyi had already set the itinerary, she said: "Lao Zhu donated a teaching building, so it stands to reason that I have to go there." ”

Luo Xinyi asked again: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhou Yunlan said regretfully: "I really couldn't spare time that day, so I could only let Xiao Wang run." If Qiao Hao is still here......"

Speaking of sad things, she waved her hand and nodded to stop, and flexibly changed the topic, "Speaking of him, guess who I met two days ago." ”

Luo Xinyi, who didn't want to guess at all, still asked cooperatively: "Who?" ”

"Lu Wei's daughter." For fear that Luo Xinyi wouldn't remember, Zhou Yunlan deliberately reminded, "It's the arsonist you testified against back then, do you remember?" ”

The expression of surprise lasted on Luo Xinyi's face for at least half a minute, "He still has a daughter?" ”

"The little girl has a pretty stubborn temper." Zhou Yunlan took a sip of tea and made it up seriously, "A few days ago, in order to see me, I squatted at the door of my company for more than half a month. ”

Luo Xinyi couldn't hold back and asked, "Then have you seen it?" ”

"See."

"What did she say to you?" Luo Xinyi was not shocked on the surface, but his heart had already turned over the river and the sea.

"She didn't believe her dad was an arsonist." After Zhou Yunlan took in all of Luo Xinyi's subtle expressions, he suddenly smiled, "She also said that she went to the Public Security Bureau to check the file." ”

The file had long since been lost, and she couldn't have found out anything. As soon as Luo Xinyi put his mind at ease, he heard Zhou Yunlan say again: "The Public Security Bureau said that because of personnel changes, all the original files were lost. Speaking of which, the loss of criminal files is not a trivial matter, and if it is really investigated, the problem will be big. ”

Luo Xinyi pursed her lips and agreed, "This is the disadvantage of the Public Security Bureau, it has been so many years, and it is not easy to track it down." ”

Zhou Yunlan nodded in agreement, "So I haven't told her yet, you are a witness to Lu Wei." ”

These words made Luo Xinyi completely relieved, and the smile on her face became much more natural, she pulled the corners of her lips and began to gossip, "What's the girl's name?" ”

"What's Lu called......" Zhou Yunlan paused, frowned and said, "I'm not too interested, so I didn't ask in detail." The little girl was sharp-tongued, and she said that her father had saved five people at that time, and it was impossible to set it on fire. ”

Zhou Yunlan's deliberately prolonged voice made the string that Luo Xinyi had just loosened tighten again, and immediately smiled: "How old is the child at that time?" Can you remember? ”

"I think so too, her mother protected her so well that she didn't even know that her father had undergone psychotherapy back then." Zhou Yunlan casually mentioned these things, just like the attitude of a girlfriend chatting about afternoon tea, and even smiled indifferently, "She also said that you were rescued by her father, do you think I can believe it?" ”

I can't tell whether this is mostly a joke or a temptation. Luo Xinyi quickly had an answer in her heart, when Lu Wei rescued her, the fire brigade and reporters had not yet arrived at the scene, and the mobile phone network was not as developed as it is now.

She touched her neck and said, "It's okay, I escaped with Xuelan." ”

At this point in the conversation, Zhou Yunlan almost had a result in his heart.

"I believe that the Public Security Bureau is following the normal investigation procedures, and as long as someone does not commit perjury, it is impossible to make a mistake." Zhou Yunlan immediately chuckled, and said in a self-denying manner, "With your friendship with Qiao Hao, how can you commit perjury?" ”

Luo Xinyi's smiling face is like wearing a fake human skin mask, the most terrifying thing is that this mask has followed her for decades, and now it has grown with skin and flesh, and it can't be torn off.

Zhou Yunlan took out a photo from his briefcase and handed it over, "I found it when I went back to Haolan Residence two days ago, and I put it there to touch the scene, so it's better for you to keep it." ”

Haolan Ju is a dowry gift given by Qiao Hao when he marries Zhou Yunlan and enters the door, and it is also the love nest of the two after marriage. Outsiders say that Mr. Qiao loves his beautiful wife very much, but only Zhou Yunlan knows that the "Lan" of Haolan Ju, the three points of water on the side, was originally surnamed "Luo".

This is a group photo, Zhou Yunlan and Luo Xinyi are wearing blue and white school uniforms, standing at the gate of the eye-catching No. 3 Middle School. The two girls were holding hands in good feelings, and in the background, a young man in a white shirt happened to pass by. The teenager wore the most popular black half-rimmed glasses of the year, and was looking up at the ginkgo biloba falling from the school gate. This looks very similar to the two poems describing Cui Zongzhi in Du Fu's "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking".

That was the person she loved Zhou Yunlan when she was young, and when she was gone, he still died in the sea to save Luo Xinyi's life.

Time has passed, and it is no longer worth it.

After Zhou Yunlan left, Luo Xinyi was left to sit alone in the corner, the soothing light music flowing slowly in the café, and the air was as thick as a pulp. She clutched the picture tightly, and when she relaxed, it was like a puddle of soft mud.

When he was young, Zhou Yunlan was angular, daring to love and hate. Over the years, she has worn away the sharp edges and corners, leaving only a sleek surface. She said a lot of things, and it didn't sound like a single word was important, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that every word she said was a temptation.

Luo Xinyi had palpitations, and on the way to the hospital, he logged in to an email address that he hadn't logged in for many years, and sent an anonymous email out.

In the afternoon, she went to do a re-examination according to Zhu Xingci's arrangement, and was waiting for the results to be obtained, when she received a temporary notice from Zhou Muyi, "Auntie, there are two more examination results that will not be available until tomorrow." If you are free, you will arrange for someone to pick up the CT scan room on the first floor at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow. If you don't have time, I'll pick it up for you and take it to my colleague. ”

Luo Xinyi nodded, worried about Zhou Yunlan's matter, so she didn't take it to heart, and when she got out of the hospital, she sent a message to Zhu Xingci: [Listen to your words and go to the hospital for a review, will you go back tonight? ] 】

Luo Xinyi's family education is strict, and this has not changed because of Zhu Xing's resignation to adulthood.

Zhu Xingci took the time to reply with three words: [In the field. 】

Luo Xinyi only thought that her daughter had a flight mission, and did not continue to ask, anyway, the relationship between mother and daughter has always been weak, and they are used to each other.

At this end, Fu Xuelan drank too much, and the meatball was sandwiched several times without being put in her mouth, and in the end, Lao Yang couldn't stand it, so she threw the meatball into the trash can before giving up.

Lao Yang gave Fu Xuelan a bowl of soup and persuaded her: "You drink less, your stomach is not good." ”

"I'm happy!" Fu Xuelan patted Zhu Xingci on the shoulder, "What did your mother tell you?" ”

Zhu Xingci saw encouragement from Qiao Shen's eyes, so he began to make up stories randomly, "My mother said...... She still likes Uncle Joe. ”

"Whew!" Fu Xuelan smashed her chopsticks, "She likes a fart!" If she had followed Qiao Hao in the first place, she wouldn't have had Su Minghuai's! ”

"Su Minghuai?" The name went around Qiao Shen's mouth, "What does this have to do with Su Minghuai?" ”

Shocked that she had missed her mouth, Fu Xuelan refused to say anything anymore, her head sank, and she slammed on the dining table with a muffled voice, shouting: "Lao Yang, I drank too much and am going to die, help me go to bed to rest!" ”
