Before the meal, Qi Yan found an excuse to sneak out, and happened to see Li Lan washing vegetables in the pool alone.

Sneaking over, he whispered, "Hey, let me ask you, that Uncle Yan is Xuanxuan's relative, right?" Does he know you and your sister? ”

Li Lan nodded, "I've seen it before, because my sister lives in Sister Xuanxuan's house almost every time she comes to Thailand on a business trip, so it's not strange to know each other, right?" Yan Bo is really a very cheerful elder, and he has no sense of distance from us children at all. I heard that he used to do business in Malaysia, Laos and Myanmar for decades, and he is a Southeast Asian expert. ”

Qi Yan glanced in the direction of the living room and asked, "What about the girl who came with her?" Xuanxuan said that it was her cousin, and the way you looked at others just now was a little wrong. ”

At the mention of this, Li Lan stopped washing vegetables in her hand, and said with some hesitation, "Actually, I'm not very sure, she has an aura on her body that is very similar to yours, but not as strong as you." ”

"What do you mean by breath?" Qi Yan hurriedly asked.

"That's ......" Li Lan scratched her head and was about to answer, when Li Ruoke suddenly appeared behind them and knocked them with a celery in his hand, "Why are you still talking?" Hurry up, there are a lot of people eating today... Really, you boys have to keep an eye on it, Qi Yan, you have nothing to do, right? Come, help me deal with the shrimp and eat Tom Yum soup tonight. ”

Without waiting for Qi Yan to resist, she was directly pulled away, Li Ruoke's strength was extremely strong, and Qi Yan couldn't resist her.

After entering the kitchen, Qi Yan couldn't help but ask casually, "Why are you strange today?" ”

Li Ruoke smiled, "You're strange, let me tell you, today this Yan Bo and Xuanxuan's cousin are going to live here, tomorrow we won't be busy with business, let's go to the scenic spots in Bangkok with Xuanxuan." ”

Qi Yan looked at her deeply, and then shook his head slightly, "Lao Li, I admit that you are very good at lying, but sometimes you can't stand scrutiny, why did you bring me to Thailand this time?" ”

Li Ruoke's action of chopping vegetables paused, and he turned his head suspiciously, "What, why?" Didn't you say it, take you to familiarize yourself with the channels and environment of purchases, it's just a business. ”

Qi Yan pursed his lips, then stopped looking at her, and began to peel the shrimp shell with his head down on the side, "Hehe... Lao Li, no matter what you hide from me, I just want to say ...... I'm not stupid, we've been working together for a while, and I think you know that. Even though I don't seem to be paying much attention to anything, it doesn't mean that I don't think about it and dig deeper. ”

"What? Do you think I'm going to sell you? The more Li Ruoke listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he still tried his best to hide it, so as not to make himself appear to have something on his mind.

Qi Yan waved his hand, "I don't want to question you about anything, because I think you are a good person and have no ill will towards me." Because when I was at Yang Han's house, it was you who rescued me, so I chose to believe you, to be honest, there are not many people who can be truly believed by me. ”

The topic became more and more solemn, Li Ruoke put down the work in his hand and stared at him suspiciously, "I think you are young, why do you seem to be very vigilant about something?" ”

Qi Yan also looked up at her, "Speaking of this, I want to ask you, no matter how much you feel fateful, but you, the boss, are too hasty with me as an employee, right?" Didn't you even ask about my resume and family situation? ”

"Ahem..."Li Ruoke cleared her throat and turned her head away embarrassedly, "I'm not a regular big company, why do you ask so carefully......" When she said this, she actually felt very powerless.

Qi Yan was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said, "You and Xiaolan are orphans, right?" Actually, I'm very similar to you, I also lost my loved ones when I was a child. ”

Li Ruoke was stunned, this was the first time she had heard Qi Yan take the initiative to talk about herself.

"When I was in junior high school...... My mom died, but it wasn't an accident, it was an illness that my dad and I didn't expect... Esophageal cancer. Do you know what kind of pain people suffer from this disease in later life? …… Even swallowing saliva can hurt to death. Qi Yan recounted to him seriously.

"I'm not the same as Xiaolan's kind of obedient child, I've been naughty since I was a child, I don't study well, and I love to fight with people, my dad is very busy with work, and my mother is in charge of everything at home. But she never hit me, even... Even the rebuke seemed so weak, and she was kind to almost everyone, rarely angry. ”

"Most importantly, my mother was influenced by my grandparents, who were a devout Buddhist from a young age. In my childhood impression, there was a ceramic statue of Guanyin at home, and my mother paid tribute on time every morning and evening, and the incense burner was full for a long time. ”

"I think that a kind and pious person like my mother, not to mention being rich and rich, should be rewarded, and she has always taught me that. But the truth is...... She finally endured in the ward full of the smell of disinfectant for nearly half a year, and her condition worsened day after day, and finally ended her life under the torture of cancer pain. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Yan wiped his hands, lit another cigarette and began to smoke.

Whenever he was nervous, bored and depressed, his craving for cigarettes would increase a lot.

"Don't mind, I learned this bad habit of hurting my body at that time" Qi Yan shook the cigarette case in his hand, and then raised his head high, as if trying to suppress the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, "It was also from that time...... I was completely disappointed with the gods that people believed in.

It doesn't matter if there is a god or Buddha in the sky, it has nothing to do with me, even if I go to the temple occasionally, I just accompany my friends for sightseeing, out of respect and etiquette, I just pretend to be a pretend, and I didn't expect that one day I would sell something like a Buddha card.

I'd rather believe in a ghost than believe in those so-called gods! What do you think? Think I'm thinking too much, right? But I'm such a stubborn person, I can't help it...... I'll admit that I'm short-sighted and can't let go. ”

"I don't trust people or things easily because I'm afraid of being disappointed... In fact, people like me should belong to a soft egg who is strong on the outside and fragile on the inside, right? ”

Li Ruoke listened to it for a long time, because he was also a person who lost his relatives since childhood, even if he had different thoughts later, he didn't comment more.

Eventually, it was not easy to come up with a comforting word: "Buddha... Buddhism cultivates the afterlife, and I think my aunt's next life will definitely be compensated enough. ”

Qi Yan took a deep breath and asked with a smile, "Really?" ”

"It's hard for me to say if it's true or not, but we have to look forward to it... Isn't it? ”

Qi Yan extinguished the cigarette butt and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'm actually most annoyed by this solemn and bitter atmosphere,... It's really annoying to be honest with each other or something, let's continue to prepare dinner...... Tsk, what kind of shrimp did Xiaolan buy? So much mud! ”
