Chapter 4: Remember to call me when you cry
This night.
Xiang Wan didn't sleep very well, and he couldn't sleep until six o'clock in the morning.
Outside the window, the sky was already slowly brightening, and only the last layer of the veil of night remained, and soon it would be completely bright.
She got up and walked to the window to pull the curtains all open, only to realize that she didn't know when the floor-to-ceiling windows in her room had been fitted with a 'protective net', perhaps after her mother fell from here...... Although it is a remedy.
Through the unsightly protective net, she saw the hazy glimmer of light in the courtyard downstairs, and she also saw the man who was almost hidden in the glimmer.
The man was wearing a light gray lounge suit, sitting alone on a wicker chair with his back to the evening, sitting casually, his slender legs folded together, and the cigarette between his fingers was clearly extinguished in the morning breeze, as if he was enjoying the tranquility before dawn.
Inadvertently, looking up tiredly, the man saw the plain white little face behind the window on the second floor.
The moment they looked at each other, Xiang Wan felt embarrassed that she was discovered, and her bare feet took a small step back, but she quickly calmed down, and she told herself in her heart that this was her home, and she didn't need to be weak!
At this time, the light has gradually brightened, and the outline of the man is clearly outlined, he is like a god born at dawn, sacred, dazzling, and solemn to be inviolable.
The two looked at each other in the twilight, and time seemed to have stood still for a moment.
There are many attractive things in the world, but most of them are dangerous.
The next moment, the Zuo Xingyun in Xiang Wan's eyes turned into a highly poisonous plant that would lure people to death, with an extremely beautiful appearance, which would bewitch people's hearts and make people willing to contribute their lives as their nutrients......
She didn't flinch when she was caught 'peeping', but at this time, she couldn't continue to stand here, and she always felt like something terrible would happen if she looked at him for a second longer.
She decisively closed the curtains, as if nothing had happened, touched 'Nian Nian' who was sleeping soundly on the edge of the bed, and went downstairs.
Uncle Yuan, the old housekeeper of the Xiang family, was not replaced, and was directing the servants to clean up in the hall on the first floor at this time, and his meticulous appearance was the same as when he did things for the Xiang family in the past, but now the master has changed.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Wan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and even felt betrayed......
She is inclined to think that a person who has been working in her family for decades will continue to work seamlessly for the people who killed the former owner after the owner was killed, if Zuo Xingyun left Zhang's mother so that someone could take care of her, then Uncle Yuan's stay obviously has no suitable reason, but is more like being bought early on......
She even thought evilly, did Uncle Yuan also participate in her father's death ......?
"Miss."
Uncle Yuan's voice interrupted Xiang Wan's thoughts.
Xiang Wan's mind was a little confused, her lips moved, and the accusation could not be spoken.
As shrewd as Uncle Yuan, looking at his face, he has eaten this bowl of rice for decades, how could he not see what Xiang Wan was thinking: "Miss, I know that I probably shouldn't be here again, I should be dismissed and replaced like the people who used to work with the Xiang family...... But I'm almost fifty years old, and I still have a family, and I have to live, and they have to live.
If I had left here, I might not have a good job again. You may not understand what it means to provide for your family now, but you will understand it in the future. I can assure you that I was not involved in the cause of my lord's death. ”
Being seen through so easily, seeing the calmness in Uncle Yuan's eyes, Xiang Wan felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry ......"
Suddenly, the figure walking into the hall interrupted the conversation between the two.
Uncle Yuan greeted respectfully: "Second master." ”
"Hmm."
The man responded lightly, his gaze seemed to inadvertently pass over Xiang Wan's face, and then he walked straight to the staircase.
Xiang Wanleng ignored Zuo Xingyun with a cold face, and said to Uncle Yuan: "Uncle Yuan, please arrange for someone to send me to school later, the college entrance examination is almost over, I don't want to drop the chain." ”
There have been such a big change in the family, the family wealth has been taken away, and she has only one way out: going to school.
She didn't know when she would be homeless, her mother was still in the hospital, and she had to plan for her future, and it was completely wrong to be sad and negative at this time.
Uncle Yuan looked at Zuo Xingyun with some embarrassment.
Seeing that Uncle Yuan couldn't be the master, Xiang Wan was displeased, and fired at the man: "What? You're only ten years older than me, what the hell is a father's heart? Although you have called my dad brother and brother for a few years, and I have also suffered a loss to call you a little uncle for a few years, but that is in the past, don't be so disproportionate? ”
“?” Zuo Xingyun, who had just stepped up the steps, stopped, turned his face sideways and raised a cold eyebrow slightly: "I haven't said anything yet." ’
Xiang Wan: "......"
The strange atmosphere only lasted for two seconds, and Zuo Xingyun explained to Uncle Yuan: "If she wants to go, go and give her my phone number later." ”
At the end, he looked at Xiang Wan again and said lightly: "When you can't help crying, remember to call me." ”
