It was only then that I realized that of the three of us, I had the most dangerous job. Because no matter what, Cheng Siyan can't let Cheng Siyan know about this matter tonight. This is Guan Yunzhu's bottom line. She is so good to me, her bottom line is my bottom line, and I have to stick to it.

"It's nothing, it's about me and Shen Mo." I'm talking nonsense.

It is necessary not only to make Cheng Siyan feel credible, but also to make him stop asking.

"Haven't you and Shen Mo broken up yet? Why is it related again? Cheng Siyan frowned, "You didn't listen to what your mother said to you?" ”

I don't say anything, it's wrong to say anything now. I guess I didn't say anything, he could ask a little longer, so that the time could drag on a little longer.

"You are the daughter of the Cheng family, don't worry about getting married, since he proposed to break up, do you still want to take the initiative to get back together. Your brother told me about him. I think this time, Cheng Mo did a good job, a man with an unhappy childhood will not give you happiness in marriage, so ......" Cheng Siyan still has to say, I can't help it, and called my dad softly.

He immediately stopped and looked at me through the dim light outside, his eyes full of pity. Finally, he looked at me for a moment, reached out and gently stroked my loose hair behind my ear and said, "I'm a little more intense, but it's the truth." I remember that Shen Mo helped you, and I also gave him enough compensation, financially. ”

His words made me chuckle in my heart, a little nervous, but I pretended to be calm and asked, "When will the financial compensation be given?" ”

Cheng Siyan saw that my face turned pale, knowing that he had missed his mouth, and hesitated to say more.

I didn't back down, I looked at him aggressively.

In the end, Cheng Siyan sighed and said, "Two weeks later, when the case between you and that Qiao Ren was in full swing, I asked Cheng Mo to do this." At that time, I was afraid that you would think too much in your heart and drill the tip of the horns again, so I didn't tell you. I thought you could put this matter down, but I didn't expect ......" Speaking of this, he patted his head in annoyance and said, "Hey, it's all my fault." ”

Cheng Mo didn't say a word. My voice was slow, "What I want to know is, what's going on?" ”

I didn't expect that I would cover for Cheng Mo, but instead put myself in it and asked about things I didn't want to know, if it was possible, I would rather not know for the rest of my life, there would be a financial involvement between me and Shen Mo.

Thinking of this, I feel inexplicably sad.

From the very beginning, I was financially dependent on Shen Mo, funded by him, and arranged by him. Later, even if he became Cheng Zi, every stitch and thread on his body, food, clothing, housing and transportation all came from Shen Mo......

Thinking about it this way, he can think of money, and it really should be. Because at the beginning of me and him, all the financial was his.

Once the relationship between a woman and a man involves money, it is really no longer herself.

"Dad, how much money are you talking to him about, or what kind of business?" I smiled wryly and buried myself on the soft sofa, and asked a little afraid of the cold, "I want to know how much I am worth in his eyes." ”

My voice was very difficult, Cheng Siyan heard it.

"Cheng Zi, don't talk about this, it's not about how much you're worth, it's just that Dad wants to thank him for taking care of you over the years, and he specially gave a little thank you fee." Cheng Siyan avoided the important and refused to elaborate.

I don't believe that Shen Mo would receive the Cheng family's thank you fee for taking care of Cheng Zi, he is definitely not such a person. However, I feel that Cheng Siyan's character is impossible to talk nonsense about this matter. Then there must be something wrong in the middle, who is in the middle? Cheng Mo!

When I thought of the crux of the matter, I felt less uncomfortable.

Cheng Siyan looked at me silent for a while, as if he was slowly calming down again, and his expression was a little strange. However, he didn't say anything more about it, and started chatting with me.

When Guan Yunzhu and I are together, we can still talk about clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics without words, but with Cheng Siyan, we have nothing to say. All he could talk about was when I was a kid, and I didn't know anything about it, just a hmmmmmm

In the end, he sighed and said, "Hey, you've forgotten everything." ”

Thus ended the awkward conversation between us, and he stretched and said, "It's not early, go to sleep." ”

I looked at the time, successfully completed the task given to me by Guan Yunzhu Cheng Mo, and sent a message to Cheng Mo - Dad went downstairs.

Then I went back to my room.

It wasn't until the surroundings were quiet that I suddenly came back to my senses, Cheng Siyan just said so many things when I was a child, was he testing something?

A spirit, I sat up, and the more I thought about it, the more suspicious I felt, and I couldn't sleep anymore, so I walked around the room. I really can't wait to ask Cheng Mo now, what's going on.

But look at the time, it's really not early, listen to the silence outside, it's not good to knock on Cheng Mo's door in the middle of the night, I endured it.

finally endured this impulse, and thought of Shen Mo's matter again, and the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep. Staring at the mobile phone screen for a long time, Shen Mo's name was quiet, and he didn't even send a message.

I stayed up until two o'clock in the middle of the night, couldn't hold it anymore, rolled over and got out of bed to change clothes, packed up my things, and then carefully went downstairs with my bag.

I have to see Shen Mo, I have to ask what the hell is going on.

Just as I unscrewed the door of the house, a voice suddenly sounded behind me: "It's so late, where are you going?" ”

In the silence of the surrounding house, there was a sudden sound that frightened me almost to jump, and my heart pounded against my chest, and I couldn't help but cover it with my hand.

The person who spoke was Yu Youran, who appeared quietly behind me like a ghost.

"Scared me to death, didn't you sleep in the middle of the night?" I turned around and asked softly, in a bad tone.

"I rarely sleep at night, I see you going out like a thief, ask more, it's not as peaceful as you think outside the third watch in the middle of the night, where are you going, I'll send you." He said, his eyes shining in the light of recognition.

I suddenly thought of his relationship with Cheng Mo, and decided to agree with him to follow, and said in a deep voice: "I want to go to Shen Mo." ”

After saying that, I looked at him quietly.

"Okay." He didn't ask why, he turned around and picked up the key and said, "Let's go." ”

In the imperial capital at half past two in the morning, the road is as wide as an airstrip, and the key is that there are only a few cars, which is completely different from the daytime.

I expected to arrive at Shen Mo's house in forty minutes, but I didn't expect it to take only twenty minutes.

The car was parked in front of his house, and Yu Youran turned his head and asked me, "Do you want me to knock on the door?" ”

Suddenly, I lost the courage to ask questions and sat in the car without moving.

Yu Youran didn't say anything more, just quietly accompanied me. After a while, I sighed and asked, "I heard from my father that Shen Mo received money from the Cheng family." ”

Yu Youran raised his eyebrows and looked at me.

"I want to know if it's real or fake." I said again.

"You're asking me?" He asked rhetorically.

"Hmm." I turned to look at him, "I'm asking you, because I don't have the courage to ask anyone else." ”

"That's true." Yu Youran leaned back and said, "I came here in the middle of the night just to ask about this thing?" Is it okay to ask no on the phone? ”

I didn't listen to what he said, and my ears were full of the two words he said—really.

"Go back, thank you!" I pulled open the door and got out of the car, walked straight up the steps, and reached out to tap the door.

I know that Shen Mo's room is the back, and he can't hear him knocking at the door, but I just don't want to call, I just want to knock on the door.

The car turned on its headlights behind me, then started with a start-up sound, then turned around and walked away.

It was dark in the alley, but I didn't have the courage to continue banging on the door, and I sat down on the steps and burst into tears.

I know that I don't have the right to be angry with this, money is my weakness, and it always has been.

The night was completely dark, and I was surrounded by silence and darkness, and I sat down with my arms folded at the bottom of the steps, not really knowing where to go.

The door creaked open behind me, and a warm light poured out, and I saw a long shadow sitting on the steps, cast on the steps, and distorted, one by one, forming the silhouette of a seated person.

"What are you doing here? Cold or not? Shen Mo's voice.

Then he hurried out and put his hand on my shoulder, and I turned to see him.

Maybe it was because of the night, or it was stimulated by Cheng Siyan's words, at this moment, I could feel my vulnerability, and tears flowed down my face.

"Come in." He helped me up.

I didn't refuse, and followed him in obediently. I sat down on the couch with the hot tea he handed me in my hand, and my body slowly warmed up.

"What's wrong? If you don't rest in the middle of the night, what's the urgency of running over? Shen Mo asked me in the same voice as usual.

I looked up at him with handsome features in the light of the gun, and I couldn't say a word.

He was in front of me, he didn't change at all, his movements were gentle and careful, his tone was warm and slow, and the kind of heartfelt concern was in it, and he couldn't fake it. However, why did the kind of thing Cheng Siyan say?

"What's wrong? What's the urgency? He asked again.

"I just want to know if you broke up voluntarily or if someone forced you. Cheng Siyan said, you took the Cheng family's money, and said it was a thank you fee, did you accept it? Also, why don't you apologize to me seriously, since you want to get back together, why can't you show sincerity? I asked.

These words have been held in my heart for a long time, which is why I will be so smooth when I ask, and I don't even hit a stumble in the middle.

Shen Mo looked at me, his eyes were still soft, as if he had known that I would ask these questions, and sighed softly and almost inaudibly, and said, "Because I found that we are not suitable, you only have gratitude to me, no love; And I may feel that taking care of someone for a long time, some of them are reluctant, and it should not be love. You ask me why I don't show sincerity when I want to get back together? He smiled and paused for a moment before he said, "Because I'm afraid that after I move you, I won't be able to give you what you want." So, let's do it first! ”

My head buzzed, and I couldn't listen to anything.

He didn't deny everything I asked, and the answer I gave was not what I wanted, and there was only one thought in my head: it turned out that he really didn't love me!

I don't know what it feels like in my heart, is it the steadiness of the dust settled, or the ease of finally sitting down? I do not know.

"You will all just run away, can you face the problem squarely!" My voice was very small and cold, and my eyes stared at Shen Mo's eyes and asked.
