"Iris, I really didn't know something like this was going to happen! I had already returned the money to Mrs. He, and she also tore up the IOU in front of me, and I was going to pack up my things and leave He's house, but the police suddenly came and said that I had stolen things......"

"How could I steal...... Iris, I don't have it......"

"I didn't see the watch......"

"I know, Mom, I know," Zhu Yuan hugged her mother tightly, and then she was shocked to realize that her mother, who had always been healthy, was so thin and thin, and a sour feeling came to her heart, "I will find a way, believe me, believe me, okay?" ”

Zhu Yuan comforted Lin Lan for a long time before finally letting Lin Lan sleep at ease.

It's just that those words of comfort can relieve Lin Lan's anxiety, but they are useless to Zhu Yuan.

She knew that He Yu would not let her go easily.

Shi Mai looked at her worried appearance, and after thinking about it, she didn't come up with a name, so she could only scold and curse He Yu while sighing.

She was about to speak, when her phone rang, Shi Mai looked down, her eyebrows sank.

She said with a blank face, "What's the matter." ”

Cheng Mu's tone was a little unhappy, "In the middle of the night, Sister-in-law Zhang said that you went out in a hurry, I, as a husband, should be qualified to ask, right?" ”

Shi Maipi didn't smile, "Young Master Cheng is really strict with others and lenient with himself." ”

She glanced at Zhu Kite's expression and did not continue to talk to Cheng Muqiang.

"Something happened to the kite, I'm busy, don't bother me."

With that, she hung up.

Cheng Mu was stunned when he heard the busy sound coming from his mobile phone.

In the middle of the night, he dialed another number.

In the middle of the night, the man's voice was a little lazy, with the blur of night.

"What's wrong?"

"Jing Xing," Cheng Mu said, "that Miss Zhu of yours...... It seems that something has happened. ”

……

No, Cheng Mu's phone call reminded Shi Mai.

She asked Zhu Kite, "Can you get in touch...... Pool view line? He must have a way to do this. ”

Zhu Yuan looked at the night outside the window and did not speak.

As early as the first time, she had already thought of Chi Jingxing.

But for Heyu's matter, he made his attitude clear from the beginning.

- He won't care.

Besides, there was already a clear relationship between her and Chi Jingxing, what position did she have to ask for his help?

Zhu Kite turned his head and pulled out a smile.

"It's late, wheat, let's go to bed first."

It was late at night, and Zhu Yuan stood on the balcony, letting the late autumn wind blow wildly, but the coldness of her body was not comparable to the despair in her heart.

Finally, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.

It's a pity that the phone only rang twice and was hung up.

In the silent night, the cold busy sound was particularly harsh, and Zhu Yuan's hand holding the mobile phone trembled slightly, but he didn't have the courage to continue dialing the past.

Thousands of miles away in another country, Chi Jingxing was dressed in a white suit, and he was able to communicate with the woman in front of him in a foreign language with ease, his timbre was very good, fluent and authentic London accent was tactful and silky, and his voice was heartfelt.

In between conversations, his fingers hooked up the dark teacup and blew lightly.

The woman's delicate eyes fell on his knuckles, angular and full of male strength.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Chi Jingxing with a smile.

The mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrate, and Chi Jingxing lowered his eyes to see that there was only one word "wish" for the call.

He gave a faint glance and reached out his finger to squeeze the phone away.

The woman opposite had deep eyebrows, long blond hair shining in the sunlight, and her pupils were a beautiful pale blue, like amber at the bottom of the sea.

"You can answer the phone first, CHI." ）

Chi Jingxing hooked his lips very lightly, and only said one word.

“inconsequential.“

It doesn't matter, he said.

The golden woman smiled happily, "Mr. Chi is really a responsible working partner and hopes that we have a good cooperation." (Mr. Chi is really a responsible partner, I hope we have a good time working together.) ）

It was 5 p.m. when the working negotiations ended.

In China, it should be three o'clock in the morning.

Chi Jingxing sat in the car, looking at the exotic bright sky, and the peach-colored clouds stained half of the sky, like a huge rose blooming in mid-air.

With a faint expression, he picked up his phone and casually glanced at the missed call.

In the middle of the night, he tapped the word, and Zhu Yuan connected the phone almost instantly.

"There is little pool." She whispered.

Chi Jingxing pulled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, "You haven't slept so late, are you waiting for me?" ”

He said it playfully and presumptuously, and his tone was teasing.

With a crisp sound, he lit the lighter, took a puff of cigarette, and slowly spit it out.

Zhu Yuan heard his breathing and hesitated to speak.

"Pool less...... Can you ...... again? Do me a favor. ”

Ji Jingxing did not answer.

Zhu Yuan pursed her lips, intending to clarify the whole story with him, but she heard a cool voice on the other end.

"Miss Zhu's favor, I'm afraid I won't be able to help," he said in a light tone, "I'm not Miss Zhu's guardian, I'll clean up the aftermath for you one by one." ”

The breath that Zhu Yuan was holding in his heart dispersed in an instant.

She curled her lips self-deprecatingly.

I knew it was so.

She softly said "sorry" and hung up.

Listening to the busy sound on the other end, Chi Jingxing didn't rush to put down his phone.

The sunset was a little dazzling, he frowned slightly, and snuffed out the cigarette butt.

The voice of the kite is still in my ears, like a leaf falling in the wind, fluttering and falling.

It's so light, but it's so heavy.

He looked at the large blush in the sky, but remembered another unrelated picture.

——Zhu Kite sank at the bottom of the hot spring, his face pale.

As soon as the picture turned, she lay quietly on the big bed, her broken expression seemed to disappear in the next second, but her slender hands almost scratched the sheets, and she kept whimpering and struggling in her dreams.

In the end, she said she was wrong.

She said, help her.

Chi Jingxing closed his eyes, and the desperate voice of Zhu Kite was still in his ears.

"Help me, Chi Jingxing, help me."

At this moment, he finally admitted.

Just like the first time the gods had mercy on the world, he felt a little compassion for Zhu Yuan for the first time, which he didn't even realize himself.

In the middle of the night, he made a phone call to Qi Zheng, the legal counsel of the Chi Group.

"Lawyer Qi, something happened to the company's employees, you go to her house," Chi Jingxing spat out a puff of cigarette and said lightly, "Just do your best." ”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mingen glanced at him in the rearview mirror.

"Chi Shao, the contract here has been signed, if you don't have other arrangements, I'll buy a ticket and prepare to go back to China."

Chi Jingxing let out a faint "um", leaned back, closed his eyes and took a nap.

-

Early the next morning, Zhu Kite woke up in the smell of rice.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and saw Lin Lan's thin back standing at the dining table in the living room.

Zhu Kite's eyes were red almost subconsciously, and she quickly got out of bed and hugged her mother tightly from behind.

How many years...... How long had she not eaten her mother's cooking, and how many days and nights had she woken up with no soft smiling face, only cold gray walls and oppressive iron bars.

What used to feel like an ordinary daily life has become a luxury that she never dared to dream of over the years.

A knock at the door broke the silence, and Zhu Yuan got up and opened the door.

The person who came was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking a little older, and the charm of a mature man in his eye lines.

"Is it Ms. Zhu Kite?" He bowed slightly, "I am Zhengfang Law Firm, Qi Zheng, and I am also the special legal counsel of Chi's Group, I heard that the company's employees have encountered some troubles and have taken the liberty to disturb them, please forgive me." ”

Zhu Kite was stunned, and it took a while to react.

"Lawyer Qi, please."

Lin Lan poured Qi Zheng a cup of tea and stood next to Zhu Yuan, looking helpless.

Qi Zheng briefly understood the situation, took off his glasses, and said after a little thought, "Miss Zhu, with all due respect, there is clear physical evidence in this case, if the other servants of the He family insist that your mother entered the room to take it, and there is no surveillance, there is a high chance that your mother will lose the case, because we have no evidence at all to prove that the stolen goods have nothing to do with your mother." ”

Lin Lan sat down in despair.

She covered her face with her hands, "It's all my fault...... It's all my ......."

When Zhu Yuan saw her mother's appearance, she was so uncomfortable that she looked at Qi Zheng with strong spirits.

"Lawyer Qi, is the current solution either to lose money or let my mother go to jail?"

Qi Zheng pondered for a moment, "The premise of losing money is that the other party is willing to reconcile - if the other party is unwilling, no matter how much money you have, I am afraid that you will not be able to avoid prison." ”

Zhu Kite closed his eyes.

Reconcile with Heyu.

Her blood vendetta against him has not yet been avenged, but now, she must beg him for reconciliation for her mother's sake.

She knew all too well what it was like to be in prison, the powerlessness of being deprived of her freedom, the gray sky, and it seemed that the sun would never shine.

Zhu Kite's voice trembled.

"Thank you, Lawyer Qi, I ...... Will figure it out. ”

Qi Zheng looked at her expression, a little unbearable.

Seeing that Zhu Yuan and Lin Lan are not evildoers, judging from the known circumstances, they should have been calculated.

After thinking about it, he said, "Miss Zhu, if necessary, I can accompany you to negotiate terms with him." ”

Zhu Yuan smiled a little miserably.

"No," she whispered, "his conditions can only be negotiated with me." ”

Hearing this, Lin Lan was a little nervous.

"Iris, he doesn't want you to do anything, does he?"

Rao is no matter how dull Lin Lan is, after this incident, she can be regarded as realizing something.

He Yu is definitely not a simple and good lord, he suddenly offered to help the Zhu family, and now that he thinks about it, has he been calculating their family since that time?

Her daughter has always been reluctant for her to contact the He family, is it because she has long realized that He Yu is not a good person?

She hammered herself into her chest in frustration.

"What the hell have I done, I'm an old fool......"

Zhu Yuan grabbed her hand and soothed her emotions, her eyes were firm.

"Don't worry, Mom, he won't do anything to me."
