Xiaoqi:

I'm going on a business trip to L City for a week, and I'm waiting for me to come back at home.

- Lou Jin

Originally, Lou Jin wanted to leave directly, but when the time came, someone naturally told the little woman the news of his business trip. But this was the first time the two of them were separated, although it was short, but he still didn't want the little woman to know his exact news from other people's mouths.

The original anger in Zhong Qi's heart was half dissipated because of this simple small note, and she finally understood why someone tossed her so hard last night.

This is also the first time that she really feels the emotion of parting. Before her parents disappeared quietly, although she was sad in her heart, she didn't feel particularly deeply. When her brother left the Zhong family, because she always believed that her father would not be serious, her feelings at that time were not very obvious.

But this time is different, she really feels the feelings of someone who is reluctant to leave. So as a result, the already bad mood became even more uncomfortable.

"What, if you leave without saying a word, you will leave a note." He sat down on the edge of the bed with a note in his hand, lowered his eyebrows and whispered.

I was a little disappointed for a while, and suddenly remembered that I hadn't packed someone's bags. This time, my heart became even more sad.

When people go out, they still have their wives to see them off or something, and this silent one in her family left by herself.

sighed in frustration, feeling that he had not done his job well.

After Lou Jin settled down, he felt that the little woman should wake up, so he dialed the phone and called.

When Zhong Qizheng was sad, he looked at the phone of a certain initiator, and suddenly picked up the phone angrily and said, "Why didn't you tell me when you were on a business trip, why did you leave by yourself?" ”

Lou Jin thought about the tone of the little woman's various ways to answer the phone, but when he listened to the reluctance on the phone that he didn't notice, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't hide it, and he said softly: "I decided temporarily, and I haven't had time to tell you yet." ”

"And when are you coming back?" Zhong Qi knew when he would come back, but wanted to confirm it again.

"Maybe it will take a week." Lou Jin planned his time, thinking that he should be able to finish it in five days, for the sake of insurance, and also to prevent the little woman from having too many expectations, he still said seven days.

"Huh?" Some disappointed voices sounded, and suddenly I felt that no matter what I did, I couldn't lift my spirits.

"Will you wait for me at home?" Lou Jin listened to the obvious disappointed tone and asked soothingly.

"Oh." Zhong Qi didn't answer whether it was good or not, but sighed.

Listening to this obviously reluctant voice, Lou Jin chuckled lightly and began to change the topic and say something else.

The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone, Zhong Qi frowned and looked at the black screen in his hand, thinking tangledly, a week shouldn't be long...

Before I could think about it, a voice of protest came from my stomach.

Touching his stomach, he decided to go downstairs to forage for food.

The old housekeeper had been paying attention to the movement upstairs, and when he heard Zhong Qi opening the door, he immediately appeared at the staircase and waited.

When Zhong Qi saw the old housekeeper, he temporarily threw Lou Jin aside, quickly went downstairs and grabbed the old housekeeper's hand and asked, "What are you doing delicious today?" ”

"What does the young lady want to eat? I'm going to let them do it. The old housekeeper looked at Zhong Qi, who was in good spirits at this time, and said.

"I want to eat boiled fish, and I want to eat Mao Xuewang." I don't know why, she wants to eat something spicy to satisfy her appetite.

Usually, the chef takes care of Lou Jin's taste, and the meals he cooks tend to be lighter. It's not that he can't eat spicy, it's just that he prefers light things than spicy.

This time Lou Jin was not at home, Zhong Qi felt that he could indulge himself.

"Okay, let's go and let the chef do it." When the old housekeeper heard enough, he immediately smiled and satisfied Zhong Qi.

Because of the food, Zhong Qi temporarily left the emotions of separation behind. It's not that she forgot, but she wants herself not to think about it deliberately.

While waiting, Zhong Qi began to scroll through Weibo, in short, to let himself have something to do. looked at the so-and-so star who appeared on Weibo and clarified it again, and then all kinds of speculations. Zhong Qi only felt bored, no matter what way it was, it was undoubtedly a kind of hot existence.

I glanced at it boringly, and began to look at my favorite cute pet bloggers. Looking at the stupid appearance of the dog above, he hooked his lips and laughed out loud.

When the food she asked for was served, she immediately put away her mobile phone and concentrated on eating the food in front of her. A bite of white rice with a bite of food, although spicy, but spicy is very enjoyable.

Because Zhong Qi was the only one to eat, the chef didn't cook much, just made half a fish and a big bowl of Mao Xuewang, just enough for Zhong Qi to eat.

After eating satisfied, I only felt that I was finally alive now.

Zhong Qi, who was full of food and drink, sat on the sofa and prepared to watch TV for a while, at this time she was quite bored, and she didn't want to play with her mobile phone, so she simply watched if there were any good TV series.

As soon as he turned on the TV, the old housekeeper stood in front of Zhong Qi with a document.

Zhong Qi raised his head and looked at the old butler suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.

"Young lady, this is what the young master ordered to be handed over to you." The old butler handed over the document in his hand and said.

Zhong Qi took it in a daze, not knowing which one Lou Jin was playing.

As soon as I opened the document, I saw a newspaper with an obvious headline in the middle, which read: Take you to expose the secret of the collapse of the Zhong Group.

When I saw this line of words, my hand trembled uncontrollably. These days, she has been holding these things to the bottom of her heart, not wanting to see or hear them. It seems that this is the only way to deceive yourself and hide yourself and be out of touch with this matter forever.

After just one glance, he closed the file suddenly, closed his eyes and sat on the sofa to ease his emotions.

The old butler always waited aside, watching Zhong Qi's reaction and not saying anything.

"What did he say?" Zhong Qi, who had recovered after a long time, asked out loud, but his eyes were still closed and he didn't want to open them.

Like the old housekeeper who had known that she would ask this question for a long time, he said without hurrying: "The young master said that he was afraid that you would be sad before, so he chose to hide many things. But now he feels that there are some things that he should tell you so that he will not be taken advantage of by those who have a heart. ”

When Zhong Qi heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a mocking smile. I don't know if I'm laughing at the person who is talking, or if I'm laughing at myself.

After the old butler finished speaking, he silently left the living room, and let the servants who were waiting on the side leave with him. After all, some things have to be thought out by yourself, and no matter how much others say, it is not your own meaning after all.

Zhong Qi's mind was very entangled, and he didn't know whether he should open this document or not. Ever since Lou Jin had said those words to her that day, she had been running away from these things.

She knew that it must be a different document than her brother's answer, and it might also clearly tell her that what she had been doing was wrong.

With his eyes closed, hesitating all the time. She is actually afraid, afraid that she will not be able to accept the so-called truth, and that she will be used like a fool all along.

After secretly struggling for a while, she felt that she should still look through it and know the truth of the matter. She can't be blinded anymore and keep doing the wrong thing.

After deciding, I didn't hesitate anymore and just opened the document and read it.

It is written that the collapse of the Zhong Group, which originally seemed to be facilitated by the Knowles Group, but the real situation may be that Knowles is the salvation of the Zhong Group.

When the Zhong family was desperate, because he was unwilling to give his years of hard work to others in vain. Therefore, Zhong's family chose to hand over this company to the person he was comfortable with, that is, Lou Jin. Of course, at the same time, there is also the pearl in his hand - Zhong Qi, which he holds in his belief.

Seeing this, Zhong Qi finally understood why Lou Jin would directly take her away with such a tough attitude and let her marry him. It turned out that this was really what her father meant, but she didn't believe it at the time.

Then looking down, the whole report is just another way to curry favor with Lou Jin, and the above descriptions are all praising Lou Jin's willingness to take over this mess.

Zhong Qi finally knew a little bit of the truth about the matter, but she couldn't be happy anyway. If one is true, it means that the other person is lying. But until now, she didn't know if any of the lies her brother told were true.

Some decadent ones spread out on the sofa, and suddenly felt so tired of being a man. I have to think about so many things every day, as if there are always things that I can't do, and I can't be idle. And when I am free, I will think about everything and think that I am tired.

The old butler left the drawing-room, but did not return to his own room. Instead, on the premise of not disturbing Zhong Qi, he observed her reaction. After the observation, a phone call was made.

Lou Jin, who was preparing for a meeting, looked at the call reminder and was a little hesitant whether he should answer the phone. At the beginning, he explained to the old housekeeper that no matter what Xiaoqi's reaction was after seeing the document, he had to report it to him and let him know.

The hesitation was only a matter of a moment, and he immediately picked up the phone.

"Hey, young master, the young lady just finished reading it, and now her mood hasn't eased up. When the young lady opened it just now, she immediately closed it, and sat on the sofa and rested for a long time before she took the initiative to open it again and continue to read. Without waiting for Lou Jin to ask, the old housekeeper told Lou Jin directly about Zhong Qi's series of reactions just now, just like Douzi.

Lou Jin An listened quietly, the little woman's reaction was already the best reaction he could expect, and although he was worried about these, he still calmly ordered: "You continue to observe." ”
