There is no longer the arrogant and willful energy of Wei Lan in the past.

There is no longer the gentleness of Wei Lan's positive sunshine later.

She became less and less like her, or rather, became the third her.

For a moment, Yan Yi felt that she had done something wrong.

This girl should be as bright as a sunflower, but he is not her sun.

He was wrong to keep her around.

Under the strong pressure, Yan Yi tried to arouse a smile, "Do you know Hong Kong Island?" The one that is often shown on TV. ”

Wei Lan bowed her head slightly, not knowing why, "Huh?" "Yes.

Yan Yi hugged her, his tone as slow as the horse's steps, "You like beautiful clothes, delicious food, there are all there, it is very prosperous there, at least it is more prosperous than Haishi." ”

Wei Lan was silent, and had already guessed the meaning of Yanyi's words: "You are going to Hong Kong Island." ”

"And you." Yan Yi said softly.

The two of them were silent for a moment, and then he asked again, "Would you like to come with me?" ”

He had always been accustomed to Yanyi's strength, but he suddenly softened, but Wei Lan was not used to it.

But in her heart, it doesn't matter if she wants it or not.

He would always take her with him.

In that case, what are you going to do with all these words?

Wei Lan lowered her eyes, hid the emotions in her eyes, and whispered: "Let's stay a few more days, I like the sea." ”

I've always heard that you can dig up small crabs in the sand by the sea, step on the waves on the beach, and pick up beautiful shells.

But in the past four years, she has always looked at the sea from afar, and never really approached once.

If you just leave, you always feel ......

It's a pity.

Yan Yi replied in a low voice, and didn't speak again, but his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he didn't relax for a long time.

*

There were not only the three of them in the racecourse, but also more than a dozen foreigners who worked with Yanyi.

In the middle of the night, foreigners held a bonfire party, singing and dancing together, which was very lively, but Wei Lan always felt that he was out of place with those people, so he did not participate.

The foreigners were greedy and suspicious, and although they recognized Yanyi's ability to allow him to take a slice of the business, there were always other constraints.

For example, such occasions and activities are indispensable for Yanyi.

Wei Lan didn't plan to participate, so Yanyi sent her and Cuicui to the villa area outside the racecourse to rest in advance.

Pulling the white cashmere shawl on Wei Lan's shoulders tight, Yan Yi carefully advised: "The horse farm is no better than at home, and it is windy at night, so don't move around at will." ”

Wei Lan bowed his head slightly, although he smiled, his face was very cold, "I know, let's go." ”

Night gradually fell, the wall lamps in the villa were dim, although behind Wei Lan, people still felt as if she was in the dark, her face was faint, vague, and very unreal.

Yan Yi sank his eyebrows, and looked at Wei Lan for a long time, so long that he seemed to be about to carve Wei Lan into his eyes and heart, and when Wei Lan was about to hold back his smile, he nodded and looked away, and said "Okay" twice.

The voice was soft, like a compromise.

Compromise?

The word that suddenly popped up in his mind, Wei Lan was stunned, and felt inexplicable.

Seeing Yanyi walk out of the field of vision, the smile on Wei Lan's face gradually faded, tears flashed in her eyes, she blinked to hold back the water, sighed lightly and smiled helplessly.

It's not that she can't feel the change in Yanyi.

It is precisely because I can feel it that I have mixed feelings in my heart.

Too late.

It was too late.

She can also follow in the footsteps of Yan Yi and want to be a good Mrs. Yan, but the result is not satisfactory.

There is nothing left except a devastated heart and a shell that has lost its memory of the world.

That's probably the way it is between them in this life.

It couldn't be better, it couldn't be better.

*

Yan Yi had something in his heart, the excitement at the bonfire banquet seemed to have nothing to do with him, he stood on the periphery of the crowd with a wine glass, a sip of wine and a mouthful of cigarettes, the cigarette butts on the side of the riding boots were dense, and he didn't know how much wine he drank.

His brows furrowed and his eyes were red, and he didn't seem to care, and immediately refilled the empty glass, and finally blew directly on the bottle.

Something, from the start, was wrong.

Yanyi's joy probably only existed in the short moment after learning that Wei Lan had lost his memory at the beginning.

Later, he faked that Wei Lan had died, evading Wei Xueliang's search, and Yanyi was under unprecedented pressure.

One was afraid of losing, and the other couldn't bear to see Wei Xueliang show a sad look of bereavement, but in the end, he did everything under the pressure of his body and conscience.

This is probably a heinous evil, so God is going to punish him now

It makes Wei Lan unhappy and makes him sad.

The bonfire feast lasted until midnight, when the moon hung high in the sky.

Yanyi walked back with crooked steps, thinking to himself: instead of watching the flowers wither in front of his eyes, he should return to the sun.

But it's easy to think about it, but it's hard to put it into action.

Heartache......

How can you give it.

How can you give ......

*

Wei Lan rarely showed interest in anything anymore, and after dinner, he sat in the living room for a while and then went back to his room and lay down.

After tossing and turning for two or three hours, I was vaguely sleepy and suddenly woke up by the sound of retching outside the door.

She rolled over and sat up, "Yanyi? Are you back? ”

The moonlight was shining outside the window, and there was no response except retching.

Wei Lan waited quietly for a while, lifted the thin quilt and walked out.

The door of the villa is wooden, and it is full of European-style rococo carvings, which has a retro feeling, and even the "creak" sound made by opening the door seems to be contaminated with a trace of ancient atmosphere.

The almost rigorous, meticulous man was now half-lying on the steps, a large puddle of vomit at his side, his eyes scarlet and slightly narrowed, as if he had never known him.

He came back with a smell of alcohol.

Wei Lan frowned slightly, her lips squirmed slightly, "Yanyi ......"

"Why don't you wear shoes?" After another burst of retching, Yan Yi slowly raised her head, and what caught her eye was a pair of white and small feet, looking up along the feet, were well-proportioned calves, and a pale white dress that almost allowed into the moonlight.

It's not just long skirts...... And there are people too.

Yan Yi staggered to his feet, bowed down and picked Wei Lan up by the waist, staggered into the room, staggered back to the room, and then gently put her back on the bed.

Knowing that Wei Lan didn't like to be close to him, Yan Yi rarely approached her bedside.

Today is the exception.

Wei Lan sat on the edge of the bed, Yan Yi sat under the bed, and her sharply shaved head rested on her lap.

The moonlight outside the window is bright, and the house is quiet, like a dream.

"Wei Lan ......"

"Huh?" Wei Lan lowered her head and pursed her lips to stare at him.

"Why aren't you smiling?"

"It's been a long time since you've laughed."

"Laugh at one, right? I want to see you laugh. ”

Wei Lan was silent, but the corners of her mouth were hooked.

I can see the arc, but the smile is not as good as the bottom of my eyes.

"No...... Wrong. Yan Yi looked at the bright moon outside the window with a blank gaze, and shook his head in denial without turning his head to look at the face that was almost imprinted in his mind from beginning to end.

"You should laugh like a finch and walk like a butterfly...... When you are unhappy, you can kick Xiaoyan hard. ”

Yan Yi closed his eyes and recalled his memories with a word.

recalled that Wei Lan went to the countryside a few years ago to dislike him, because he didn't like his proximity, and scratched and scratched the picture of him.

Although she was sad, she was alive at that time.

"Is that who I used to be?" Wei Lan asked softly.

"Aren't you going?" Yan Yi did not answer the rhetorical question, with a heavy nasal voice.

This strong, cold man.

Unexpectedly...... Crying?

Wei Lan was slightly stunned.

She couldn't figure out why.

Don't you go?

Where to go?

Can she go?

Where to go?

Yan Yi was not drunk and lost his mind, and said something with the strength of alcohol to relieve his sadness and stress, he turned sideways, knelt down on one knee and brushed Wei Lan's feet away from the dust, and held her feet back to the bed.

"It's late...... Close your eyes and get a good night's sleep and wake up tomorrow...... There will be a good mood. ”

Hope.

He stood beside the bed against the moonlight, Wei Lan couldn't see his face clearly, and naturally he wouldn't see a tear in his long narrow eyes after his long gaze.

Yan Yi didn't stay long, pulled the thin quilt and covered Wei Lan, and then turned around and walked to the living room.

Wei Lan propped up her upper body slightly, looked at his blurred back in the dark, and asked the same question she had asked:

"Before me, did you love someone else?"

Yan Yi's footsteps paused slightly, and for a moment, his dull voice came into Wei Lan's ears: "Loved." ”

Wei Lan in the past, and Wei Lan now.

Even if it's the same body, it's two different people.

So, before her, he loved others.

Zeng Yanyi didn't dare or refused to admit it, but when he thought of what was about to happen, he was suddenly relieved.

Wei Lan's mist filled his eyes, and the next moment, he evoked a faint, clear and helpless smile.

Really.

As she expected, she really, from beginning to end, through and through, was a shadow.

Someone else's shadow.

There's nothing to be sad about, there's no need to be sad, I've thought of it a long time ago.

Wei Lan smiled and wept, trying to stabilize her voice, "Good night, see you tomorrow." ”

The door "snapped" shut, Wei Lan turned sideways to the inside of the bed, bit her lower lip, big tears rolled down, and the pillow was soaked one after another.

Mental stress after amnesia, unfair treatment, loss of children......

Now even the only person who is related to her and willing to protect her is because he treats her as a substitute for others, so he will make those thoughtful actions......

The world is far darker and crueler than she imagined, and it has never been fair and friendly to her.

*

"So, he's in your private horse farm right now?"

“Yes， Mr. Gu……”

The door of the foreign store was closed, all the merchants had already left, and the long wooden table in the lobby was sitting at one end of the room, and at the other end, four foreigners with hooked noses were sitting facing each other.

The foreigners didn't care why Gu Chao was so anxious to find Yanyi, they just wanted to seek greater benefits through this matter.

confided in the clues of Yanyi, and the foreigners exchanged words, and finally sent a representative to negotiate the conditions with Gu Chao: "Mr. GU, we......"

"In your country, I respect you and speak English." Gu Chao's deep eyes narrowed slightly, and his index finger nodded at the table, "Now, this is Huaguo, please also follow the customs of the locals and speak Chinese." ”

Most of Gu Chao's current business is exported, and the sales channel is foreigners, almost monopolizing half of the sales channels of its peers.

Although these foreigners coveted the high amount of money Gu Chao earned, they were also dissatisfied with Gu Chao's move to make money in the hands of foreigners.

The foreigners tried to persuade Gu Chao to open factories in China extensively, and the audience was aimed at the Chinese.

In other words, they want to make money from the Chinese.

In the past two years, Gu Chao has been to many places, such as the United Kingdom, France, and Hong Kong Island......

He has also seen many foreigners.

There are good ones, there are bad ones, and there are even more greedy ones.

Of course, there are more bad and greedy ones.

But if you want to say that the most insatiable, it is still these few in front of you.

Gu Chao knew everything about the thoughts of these foreigners, so he didn't speak politely.

The four foreigners' light-colored pupils shrank suddenly, revealing expressions as if they had eaten flies.

But in the end, they suppressed their anger and tried to stay calm and reasonable, "Okay, Gu Xiansen, hissing lion...... (Okay, Mr. Gu, here's the thing...... ）”

The broken Chinese made people's ears hurt to hear, and Gu Chao didn't really want to listen to them babble about a bunch of conditions, so he waved his hand impatiently, "You tell Boss Xie about this, Haishi is here, he is responsible." ”

With that, I got up and walked to the second floor.

Before stepping on the stairs, Gu Chao suddenly smiled sideways, "No matter what the result is, in order to show sincerity, a banquet will be held at the Hon Hai Road Hotel in three days to invite everyone." ”

"Be sure to come, and remember to bring your own dance partner."

After such twists and turns, not only did the conditions not be negotiated, but they were also pushed around.

No matter how dull the foreigners are, they gradually react at this time to the possibility of being played.

was about to have a seizure, but when he heard that Gu Chao held a banquet, he probably felt that there was still a chance, and a few foreigners actually became kind again.

Seeing off the foreigners, it was already after seven o'clock at night.

Xie Jinghong entered the room, and You Lan was standing at the table pouring tea for Gu Chao.

Seeing Xie Jinghong coming in, Youlan's eyes lit up, and she shouted "Little Brother Xie" with a smile.

Xie Jinghong bowed his head slightly, took the tea poured by Youlan for himself, pulled out the back of the chair and sat down.

Xie Jinghong looked at Gu Chao, who was looking out the window, and asked suspiciously: "It has been determined that the person is in the racecourse, isn't it good to go directly?" Wait three more days, the night will be long and the dream will be more ......"

Gu Chao was awakened by his voice, turned his head and glanced at Xie Jinghong, and lowered his eyes for a while, "The scope of the racecourse is too large, there are too many foreigners, and there are many uncertain factors. ”

In fact, Gu Chao was also thinking about this issue just now.

He wanted to find Wei Lan, but he didn't just find it.

He wants her to be safe, to be intact to her.

Taking a sip of tea, Gu Chao said lightly: "Only by introducing him to our territory can we ensure her safety to the greatest extent." ”

Only then did Xie Jinghong understand the true intention of this banquet.

*

The foreigners attached great importance to this banquet, and Yan Yi, who was also a member of the Shang Alliance, was clearly informed and asked that he must be present at this banquet in person.

In fact, in the hearts of foreigners, they all feel that Yanyi has some important significance to the Gu Dynasty, or negotiate conditions to let Yanyi go more appropriately.

When the Chinese themselves deal with themselves, there will always be a lot less twists and turns.

The foreigner's boss spoke, but Yan Yi didn't know that this was a trap waiting for him to be caught, and he didn't have any suspicions, and of course he wouldn't think about refusing.

And the banquet needs a dance partner, and Yan Yi decided on the candidate in his heart without thinking too much.

Forget it, you guys beat me to death, I thought this chapter could meet, but the word count overflowed again (cry, cry, cry, cry)

(End of chapter)
