Chapter 17: Reinvention

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the people in the dessert shop were gradually decreasing.

It's the weekend, and business is exceptionally good today. Until now, the two remaining brownies in the glass case have also been taken out in early autumn and neatly packaged.

"Sister, I'm going to deliver takeaways. When I get back, we'll go home! ”

Chu Qiu carried the delicate packaging bag, pushed open the door of the store, and said back to Chu Xia.

A crisp wind chime sounded, and in the blink of an eye, there was only one person left in the store.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do at the moment, the early summer is just the right time to count the turnover.

Counting the fingers, it has been a month since the summer and autumn dessert shop opened, and the performance is quite impressive.

A busy life, full and stable.

It was as if a ray of light enveloped her and completely separated her from the past.

The mobile phone rang, and the three words "Zhang Sihan" came into view, and there was some hesitation in early summer.

The last negotiation failed, Zhang Sihan was very disappointed in her, and gave her a month's long vacation, so that she could relax.

Somewhat reluctantly, I picked it up anyway.

"Boss." She was respectful.

In early summer, have you adjusted your mentality? ”

"Boss, I'm sorry, I ......" Chuxia wanted to tell Zhang Sihan that he was ready to resign and stay in Kyoto in the future.

"It's okay, the company has already done what happened last time," Zhang Sihan interrupted Chu Xia, serious and could not refuse, "The organization has decided to give you the opportunity to make up for your merits and hand over the work of contact to you, Comrade Chu Xia, do you have confidence?" ”

And Chu Xia, who was still a little hesitant, finally strengthened her determination when she heard that she would be responsible for the contact work in the future.

"Boss, I've decided to resign."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, Zhang Sihan's roar had already penetrated out, and Chu Xia frowned and took the phone a little away.

At this time, the wind chimes rang, and it was crisp and dingdong.

When I looked up in early summer, a little Lori had already stepped on the afterglow of the sunset and walked over bouncing.

He was only about three or four years old, wearing a princess dress, shoulder-length hair with a small bow hairpin, holding a teddy bear, and his big eyes flickering, like a delicate doll.

Zhang Sihan's angry voice on the phone continued, the empty dessert shop, the little Lori, stood in front of the empty glass case, and seemed a little disappointed.

"Kid, it's closed." In early summer, there is always a kind feeling for the little girl, so I specially softened my voice and patiently explained to her.

"Auntie, is there not a single cake?" Little Lori's voice is milky and milky.

"No ......" Chu Xia suddenly thought that in early autumn today, in order to celebrate the opening of the store for a month, he actually made a delicate mousse cake and put it in the back kitchen.

In the little Lori's weeping eyes, she paused her voice and said with a smile: "Although there is no more, but Auntie can magic, Auntie can conjure."

"Really?" Little Lori's eyes instantly became bright, and she looked at her with a face full of dependence and trust.

"Yes, but you have to tell Auntie your name, so Auntie can conjure it up with a spell."

The more I look at little Lori in early summer, the more cute I feel, and there is a sense of kindness.

The kid ...... It's probably that big, right?

I don't know what she looks like, will she be more like herself?

I was a little distracted in early summer, but at this moment I heard the little Lori in front of me, saying her name clearly.

"My name is Fang Nuan Nuan, Fang Nuan Nuan is Fang Nuan Nuan, Nuan is Fang Nuan Nuan's Nuan."

Fang Nuan Nuan ......

The wind chimes rang again, and with a ding-dong sound, a man walked in.

"Fang Nuannuan, you're running around again."

With a deep voice, an inexplicable familiar feeling, I looked up in early summer, and in the twilight, I saw the faces of the people who came.

Cold and solemn, deep and introverted, a pair of dark eyes reveal cold colors, but they glow with a soft luster when looking at the little girl.

Fang Jingyan!

"Dad, you're walking so slowly!" Fang Nuannuan stretched out her little arm towards Fang Jingyan, and Fang Jingyan skillfully picked her up.

And the face of early summer can no longer be described as difficult.

This man and his wife cheated on her surrogacy, ruined her reputation, and made her father angry and died of a heart attack!

And a month ago, she was scolded by her boss for a mistake in his work.

New hatred and old hatred, but in his arms, he is holding the daughter she conceived in October!

It was a little stiff in early summer.

"Are you...... Miss Chen? Fang Jingyan still had an impression of the early summer when she had been absent-minded during that negotiation, so her tone could not be called cold.

But Chu Xia said coldly: "Yes." ”

"Auntie, where's the cake?" Fang Nuannuan nestled in his father's arms, urging towards early summer.

In the early summer, her eyes looked at Fang Nuannuan with some complicated eyes, she was sad and soft, but her tone became more and more gentle.

"Auntie, I'll get it for you." After speaking, he took the cake out of the back kitchen and packed it carefully.

"How much?" Fang Jingyan took out his wallet with one hand and pulled out a red banknote.

In the early summer, his face turned cold, and he pointed to the QR code next to him and said, "Sorry, our store does not accept cash." ”

Fang Jingyan paused, frowned, he usually hardly used this kind of quick payment, in his opinion, what could not be solved by swiping a card and cash?

If there is, then add some extra money.

He then drew two red bills.

In early summer, he inexplicably remembered his wife, Tian Bai holding a wad of banknotes and looking high in front of her. It seems that in their eyes, there is nothing that money can't solve.

Before he could pull it out, he stopped it impatiently.

"Since Mr. Fang doesn't have it, he doesn't have to pay for this cake."

After speaking, I was afraid that Fang Jingyan would think about it again, "Your daughter is very cute." ”

Fang Jingyan was slightly stunned, and when she wanted to speak again, Chu Xia had already lowered her head and started to tidy up the cabinets.

He thanked Fang Nuannuan and motioned for Fang Nuannuan to pick up the cake bag, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"What's your name?" Fang Jingyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if she remembered something.

Last name: Chen......

"Chen Nan." In early summer, he didn't raise his head or hesitate, but the hand that wiped the window was trembling slightly.

"Goodbye, Auntie!" Fang Nuan was satisfied and lay on her father's shoulder, waving goodbye to her excitedly

In early summer, my heart was sour and I almost burst into tears.

"Goodbye Nuan."

Fang Jingyan was strange about Chu Xia's attitude towards him, except for the last time they negotiated, the two had no other intersection, but he had a vague sense of familiarity, but she was full of coldness and a little bored with him, gentle and kind to Nuan Nuan.

Could it be that my daughter is too cute?

Is Chen Nan......

And the store slowly squatted on the ground in early summer, and at this moment the sun had completely set, and the autumn night was cold and bleak, as if it had returned to the past.

It was also an autumn night that year, she was lonely and desperate, and the man was wearing a bathrobe and sitting on the edge of the bed wantonly.

A look of indifference, with a slight mockery.

"You're so short of money?"

She was humble and lowly, and for that money, she had no choice.

"As you wish. Chen Chuxia. ”
