Take out your phone and turn on the flashlight to enter the corridor.

A screen of missed calls from Chang Lan startled her.

It was only now that Chen Xiaowei found out that it was already past nine o'clock.

Hurry up the stairs.

When I saw the door of my house wide open and the lights in the house came out, I realized that the situation was not good.

Chen Xiaowei's heart was very flustered.

The brain was racing, thinking about what excuse to use to prevaricate later.

When I walked to the door, I saw Chang Lan carrying a stool and sitting at the entrance with a gloomy face.

Chen Xiaowei went in and whispered Mom.

Chang Lan didn't respond.

I changed my shoes as usual and put what I was holding aside.

Standing obediently in front of her, waiting for a reprimand.

At this point, she had already thought of a countermeasure.

Chang Lan stared at Chen Xiaowei's face and asked unhappily, "What did you do at night?" How many calls have I made to you, why don't you answer?"

"I, I'm watching a movie, I don't see my phone when it's silent."

Chen Xiaowei said the words that had been prepared a long time ago.

I thought it would be leaky, and I said in advance that I was outside with Tang Yi.

Presumably, Chang Lan would not suspect anything.

However, Chang Lan didn't seem to believe it, and asked angrily, "Is it? Didn't you even think to look at your phone when you came out of the cinema?"

Sharp eyes stared at Chen Xiaowei.

There was inquiry, suspicion, and anger in his eyes.

Chen Xiaowei is too familiar with this feeling, since she was a child, every time she saw Chang Lan's eyes, she immediately told the truth.

But now, she doesn't want to compromise.

The joy of driving outside has all dissipated.

Chen Xiaowei lowered her eyes, thinking about what other reasons she could find to be easily believable.

Chang Lan asked again: "Since you are watching a movie, tell me, in which movie theater and what is the name of the movie you watch?"

As she spoke, she took out her phone.

Chen Xiaowei knew that she was searching for movies to be released in Yongzhou tonight and news from movie theaters.

A lie that came to mind on the fly.

She didn't prepare the content of the lie at all, and the information mentioned by Chang Lan didn't inquire in advance.

Chen Xiaowei bit her lip and couldn't speak, standing there at a loss.

Chang Lan snorted and looked up at her, "Why don't you say it?"

"I ......"

From her expression, Chang Lan already knew.

put down the phone and said earnestly, "Xiaowei, you are a good boy who never lies, and you always go home on time and never let *** worry."

After a pause, he frowned slightly, "Why do you still learn to lie now?" How did it come to this?"

"Mom, I'm ......."

Chen Xiaowei wanted to explain a few words.

But when I opened my mouth, I found that she couldn't say anything at all.

She felt as if there was a mountain pressing her breathless, which made her very depressed.

Looking at Chang Lan's eyes, she couldn't lie.

After a moment of silence, Chang Lan suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Tell me honestly, what are you doing tonight!"

The sudden move frightened Chen Xiaowei's body.

Ready to explain to her, "I, I'm ...... tonight"

'Click.

The bathroom door in the living room opened, and Chen Gaoming came out in his pajamas.

He had just been inside and heard movement outside.

The atmosphere in the living room is depressing, and the picture of the confrontation between the mother and daughter shows what is happening at a glance.

Chen Gaoming walked over and pulled Chen Xiaowei.

"At night, when the child comes back, let her wash and rest, what is this?"

Chang Lan glared at him, "I educate the child, don't

Speak!"

"Is there anyone like you? How old is she, and do you still treat her like a three-year-old?"

Chen Xiaowei saw Chen Gaoming quietly gesturing to her.

Taking a step back, he heard Chang Lan's rebuttal.

"No matter how old she is, she is my child, I should be educated, do you know that she has learned to lie, and she will be able to get it in the future?"

"You ......"

The two of you quarrel with me every word.

Chen Xiaowei, who was originally planning to leave, stopped when she heard Chang Lan's words.

She only felt unusually irritable in her heart.

I couldn't help but shout anymore, "Stop arguing!"

There was an instant of silence, and the two of them looked at her at the same time.

"Xiaowei ......"

She looked at Chang Lan, "I really didn't watch a movie with Tang Yi tonight, I went to dinner with Brother Yannan, and then the conversation was not pleasant, and I didn't want to come back to accept your questioning in a bad mood, so I went to find Tang Tang."

After saying this in one breath, Chen Xiaowei exhaled a long breath.

"Mom." There were tears in her eyes, "Do you know that for so many years, I have to be asked by you every time I am outside, report all the time, and go home on time, I am very depressed and tired? Can you just take a moment to stop worrying about my business and let me have my own space?"

The words fell.

No matter what their expressions were, they went back to the room if they had anything to say.

There was a thud, and the door slammed shut.

Chen Xiaowei leaned against the door, locked up and sat slowly on the ground.

No movement was heard outside the house.

She didn't know what Chang Lan and Chen Gaoming's expressions and psychology were, but the words just now were something she had suppressed in her heart for a long time.

The moment he said it, it was easier than ever.

At the same time, she was worried and worried.

It was the first time in her 25 years of life that she had spoken to her parents in this tone.

For her, it's also a way to rebel.

After a moment of quiet sitting, I went to the bathroom.

Midnight.

A faint light suddenly lit up in the dark room, it was the mobile phone at the bedside.

On the screen: Luo Cheng.

Afternoon.

Chen Xiaowei went out to run errands, and went to the dry cleaner by the way to get yesterday's coat back.

Stand at the intersection and stop the taxi to go to Lisheng Group.

Half an hour later.

Chen Xiaowei stood at the door of the 16th floor, waiting for the call at the front desk to end.

"Ms. Chen." A cold male voice rang out.

The man was the same secretary I saw in the restaurant last night.

Chen Xiaowei handed over the handbag, "Hello, I'm here to return the clothes."

"Mr. Wang is in the office, please come with me."

The man didn't answer, and went straight inside.

She had to keep up.

I just learned from the front desk that Wang Sichen is the boss of Lisheng Group.

It is also Party A who is discussing cooperation with Chen Xiaowei's company, Ruiyu Capital.

Then I came to the door of the office.

The man knocked on the door and said softly, "Boss, Ms. Chen has arrived."

A voice came from inside, "Hmm."

Afterwards, Wang Sichen said, "You go back first, and I will let people transfer the money to your account as soon as possible."

The office door opens.

Luo Cheng was holding a cigarette and looked like a hanger, and was surprised to see Chen Xiaowei outside.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

He looked at the secretary on the side, "Is there a lighter?"

The secretary took a lighter out of his pocket and gave it to him.

A crisp sound lit the cigarette in his mouth.

Chen Xiaowei looked at him blankly and didn't say anything.

Luo Cheng glanced back at the office, put the lighter in his pocket, "Let's go."

Such a familiar look, it seems to be a frequent visitor here.

Chen Xiaowei was puzzled.

Lisheng Group is a serious large company, what is Luo Cheng doing here?
