Shen Jiannian was like a frightened rabbit, bounced up from Fu Jichen's arms in a panic, his feet fell to the ground and he was numb for a while, and he almost fell.

Fu Jichen helped her on the back: "It's useless." ”

The man's voice was hoarse with a faint smile.

Shen Jianian didn't pay attention to what he said, lowered his head to sort out his clothes and hair, and his face was as hot as a soldering iron. This burning heat spreads all the way to the base of the ears and neck.

After she calmed down a little, Fu Jichen cleared his throat and said "enter".

Zhu Yilan, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, pushed open the door with one hand, came in with a folder in his arms, and saw Shen Jianian looking stunned for a moment inside, and quickly returned to normal.

"I'll go out first." Shen Jiannian felt that his whole body was about to burn, and he finished speaking a little quickly, and without waiting for Fu Jichen to respond, he walked out.

"Wait."

Shen Jiannian was stopped as soon as he walked to the office door, paused, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and looked back at him. She's already coaxed him like that, what else does he want?!

Fu Jichen picked up the bag she had dropped and shook it in his hand: "Don't want the bag?" ”

Shen Jianian was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had misunderstood him, he bit his lower lip in a slight embarrassment, walked back to get the bag, and listened to his gentle admonition: "Pay attention to safety." ”

Shen Jianian nodded indiscriminately and went out.

As soon as she walked out of the office building, she received a call from Bai Changxia: "Are you off work?" Do you need me to pick you up? She also wanted to see where Shen Jianian worked.

"Just got off work, ready to go to you." Shen Jianian said, "Let's see you at the hotel." ”

The time to get together at noon was too short, and many words were too late to be clear, and after an afternoon of struggle, Shen Jianian was mentally ready to confess everything.

There was a bit of a traffic jam on the road, and at six o'clock, I arrived at the Mandeli Hotel.

Bai Changxia didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, and woke up and slept in the room until dusk and sunset. Hearing a knock on the door, she got up from her bed and went barefoot.

Looking out from the cat's eye, confirming that the person outside the door was Shen Jianian, Bai Changxia opened the door.

Shen Jianian held the meal packed from the restaurant in both hands and shook it in front of her eyes: "Let's have dinner in the room." ”

"It just so happens that I don't want to go out." Bai Changxia helped her carry a bag.

She took a shower in the afternoon, wearing a home dress brought from home, a complete set of light gray cotton and linen suits, plain face, and her long hair was pulled up casually with shark clips, messy and lazy.

The two sat opposite each other in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and the dishes were placed on the round table in the middle.

In winter, it gets dark early, and the city is lit up at night outside the window.

Shen Jianian bought two coconuts as a drink, the shell had already opened a hole the size of a fist, plugged in the straw and handed one to Bai Changxia.

"Where do you work? What to do? Bai Changxia took a sip of sweet coconut water and looked at Shen Jianian, who was busy arranging the dishes and chopsticks opposite.

Both of them graduated from the conservatory, one specializing in cello and the other in violin, and it was difficult to find jobs in other fields outside of campus.

Bai Changxia asked whatever Shen Jianian answered: "I am currently working as an assistant to the president of Dongke." ”

Bai Changxia was a little surprised: "Can you handle it?" ”

Shen Jianian took a bite of garlic chops and said with a smile: "I am slowly learning, and I am much better than I was in a hurry at the beginning." ”

When Bai Changxia heard this, he was sad: "Jia Nian ......"

She didn't know how to comfort Shen Jianian in order to make him feel better. The originally smooth life suddenly encountered such a big change, and no matter how many words there were, it seemed pale and powerless in the face of reality.

In the past, she and Shen Jianian were the twin sisters of the Beicheng Conservatory of Music, one was cold and ruthless, the other was innocent and lively, and walking side by side in the school often caused a sensation.

Shen Jianian is the innocent and lively one.

She is really a little princess, and when she laughs, she has stars in her eyes, which makes people want to hold all the good things in front of her, just to coax her to smile more. But this Shen Jianian in front of him, even his smile is restrained and broken, and he is not really happy.

Bai Changxia felt uncomfortable when she saw it, and she couldn't bear to ask many questions again, for fear of revealing the scars that she had finally healed.

After the two finished eating quietly, Shen Jianian splashed a few drops of oil on his clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower first.

When she came out wrapped in a bathrobe, Bai Changxia had already cleaned up the leftover meals for the two of them on the table and turned on the ventilation system in the room.

Bai Changxia tied the handle of the garbage bag, took it out and threw it away, and when he came back, he saw Shen Jianian sitting on the edge of the bed holding his mobile phone and sending messages, bowing his head slightly, the crossed neckline of the bathrobe was slightly larger, revealing a piece of pale skin, and a few red marks on it were obvious.

"Jia Nian, you ......" Bai Changxia wanted to speak and stopped.

She hadn't talked about her boyfriend, but she could tell that the marks near her chest were different from ordinary scratches, and they should be kiss marks.

After Shen Jianian finished sending a message to Fu Jichen, he raised his head and looked at her suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

Bai Changxia hadn't figured out how to ask.

Shen Jiannian followed her gaze, looked down, hurriedly covered her chest with her hands, and then tightened the collar of her bathrobe, staring at the carpet next to the bed with a dazed expression, a little embarrassed.

"Did you break up with Pei Che?" Bai Changxia asked in a roundabout way.

Shen Jianian looked at her: "Do you know why my family collapsed overnight?" ”

Bai Changxia shook his head. After the Shen family's accident, she saw some reports on the news, but did not specify the specific reasons, and only used the words "improper management" to summarize everything.

Her family background is average, and no matter how much she inquires, she can't reach the circle where the Shen family is located, so she never knows the inside story.

"It was someone from the Pei family who set a trap for my father." Shen Jianian sat on the bed with his knees crossed, staring at one place in a trance, "My dad came out of trust in his friend, after the matter was revealed, he was in a hurry and caused a heart attack, and he was sent to the hospital and could not be rescued, and he grabbed my mother's hand tightly when he lost his breath." My mom couldn't stand the stimulation, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she was like my dad before he died, which was a kind of torture for her, and finally chose to go with him. ”

When Bai Changxia heard this for the first time, he raised his hand to cover his trembling lips, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Shen Jianian turned his face away, quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers, raised his neck and inhaled deeply: "Xia Xia, you say, how can I continue to be with him through such hatred." ”

Bai Changxia leaned over and hugged her, his palm caressing her back and forth, silently comforting.

She thought that Shen Jianian didn't let Pei Che know her whereabouts, because she felt that the identities of the two were very different now, and they were not worthy of him, and she didn't expect that there was such a secret in it.

"Does Pei Che know?" After a long time, Bai Changxia asked such a sentence.

Shen Jianian did not answer.

The love that she has known since childhood is not fake, the Pei Che Guangfeng Jiyue she knows is the same as his name, clean and clear. Before the Pei family did all this, they should have kept Pei Che, who was abroad, very good.

Even so, it cannot be denied the fact that he is a member of the Pei family.

The two girls were lying on the big bed, as close as if they had lived in the same dormitory before.

Shen Jianian pondered again and again, and told Bai Changxia about what happened after coming to Yicheng, including breaking with his relatives and making a deal with Fu Jichen.

Hearing the back, Bai Changxia sat up in shock: "Jia Nian, you are confused!" How can you make this kind of transaction with the people of the Fu family! ”

Shen Jianian had expected that she would react greatly, she calmly looked up at the ceiling, and said, "There is no turning back from the bow, I have already made such a choice." ”

Bai Changxia got off the bed, picked up the satchel on the chair, took out a bank card from the mezzanine, took Shen Jianian's hand, and slapped the card in her palm: "You take it." There are two million in this, which is all my savings, anyway, I have my parents to support me, and I can't use this money for the time being, you take it first, and if it's not enough, I'll find a way, you immediately terminate the transaction with Fu Jichen. ”

is also in Beicheng, although I have not dealt with those wealthy families, just hearsay is scary enough.

Shen Jianian's move is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.

"The people of the Fu family are all high-minded, they eat people and don't spit out bones, he covets you to be young and beautiful, and he may not fulfill his promise to offend the entire Pei family for you." Bai Changxia frowned, and said earnestly, "Jia Nian, you have to stay away from that kind of person. ”

Shen Jianian pushed the card back: "I'm not short of money." ”

She didn't lie, the money she asked for back from Hu Yuzhi was enough for her to leave Fu Jichen for the rest of her life, not to mention that he promised to help her get back the Lingyue Group, and she would run her family's business well in the future.

"You won't even listen to me?" Bai Changxia refused to take back the card, knelt on the bed, stared at Shen Jiannian's eyes and persuaded hard, "You are still so young, there is no need to sacrifice yourself." ”

"Xia Xia, I have no other way." Shen Jianian closed his eyes and swallowed in his throat, "I want the Pei family to pay for what they did, and I want to take back my parents' hard work." ”

She couldn't do it alone, and asking Fu Jichen for help was the result of her careful consideration.

Bai Changxia was suddenly speechless.

She sympathized with Shen Jianian's plight and was worried that she would fall into a situation from which she would never recover, but she could not control her thoughts and live her life for her.

After being quiet for a while, Bai Changxia asked weakly, "Is he good to you?" I mean Fu Jichen. ”

"It's good." Shen Jianian explained her, and he was also comforting himself, "He is good-looking, although his temperament is a little cold, but he will not lose his temper for no reason, he has no bad habits, and I don't lose anything with him." ”

Bai Changxia lay down, turned over and turned his back to her, his teeth clenched his index finger to prevent himself from choking, and his tears slipped silently, wetting the pillow.

Shen Jianian has really changed, she can actually say such things calmly.

How can you not lose money when you are committed to others?

She could have had a brilliant life, studied in music, and in the future stood on the stage to play the cello and become a cellist praised by everyone......

"Xia Xia, everyone has their own way to go, you can't help me, no one can help me." Shen Jianian looked at her slightly swaying shoulders and comforted her, "I'm very happy that you can come to see me, really." ”

Bai Changxia tried to disguise, but she still found out that she secretly shed tears, turned over and glared at her with red eyes: "Annoying, you don't want my money, and you don't want to listen to what I say." ”

Shen Jianian: "But you are still my best friend." ”

Bai Changxia said a few words of "annoying" one after another, and also said that all the tears in his life were dried yesterday and today.

Shen Jianian said that this is the best, and there will be no more tears in the future.

Bai Changxia scolded her for being a fool and had a bad life, and came to comfort her.

After going to the bathroom to wash his face, Bai Changxia returned to the bed, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and prepared to play a song to divert his attention.

As soon as I opened the music software, a news message from a browser popped up in the notification bar at the top of the screen.

[Pei Che, the only son of the Pei family in Beicheng, returned to China in a low-key manner, I don't know if it is related to the Pei Group's recent heavy losses. 】
