After Jingxiao finished washing up and went out, Tang Duyi didn't think much about it.

One is because she is really still a little sleepy, and the other is because she has no habit of eating breakfast.

As she lay on the bed, she remembered the image of last night.

It seems that everything is so unreal, so much has happened in the past two days.

She was full of worries because of her father's affairs, and she was also shocked that Jing Xiao concealed her identity, but why did the relationship between them get closer last night?

Thinking of this, Tang Duyi actually felt that his whole body was hot, especially his cheeks, which were very hot.

In fact, looking back now, she felt that she was coaxed by Jing Xiao, and he simply said a few words, a few looks, and a few kisses, and made her completely fall.

Just as she was in a trance, the bedroom door was opened again, and Jing Xiao walked in.

"Aunt Man has made breakfast, are you going out to eat, or will I bring it in for you?" He asked, walking towards the bed, his tone full of pampering and pampering.

Tang Duyi glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "What did you eat this morning?" ”

"Do you have anything you'd like to eat? I can ask Aunt Man to do it for you. Jing Xiao stood still beside the bed, looked at her with lowered eyes, and asked.

Originally, Tang Duyi's words meant that he didn't want to eat breakfast, after all, he said that he was hungry before, but it was just an excuse to urge him to get up.

But she didn't think about it, but he asked seriously, which made her a little unsure of how to answer for a while.

They just looked at each other, neither of them spoke first, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.

After a while, Tang Duyi was a little embarrassed, looked away, and deliberately diverted the topic: "If grandma comes over in the afternoon, do you want to live here tonight?" ”

"I don't know about this, but you can wait for her to come, and you can ask her yourself." Jing Xiao followed her words, and the doting in her eyes did not decrease by half a point.

His words made Tang Duyi slightly stunned, and he muttered in some embarrassment, "I don't want it." ”

She just said casually, why is this guy still serious?

"Okay, do you want to get up and eat?" Jing Xiao didn't tease her anymore, but led the topic back.

She shook her head without thinking, obviously not wanting to leave the bed yet.

"Then you can sleep for a while, and when you are hungry, you will ask Aunt Man to make it for you." Jing Xiao chuckled, and while explaining, he reached out to help her tuck the quilt corner, "I'll go out and come back before lunch, you can send me a message or call if you have something." ”

Because before, Tang Duyi once sent him a message when he was working, and his attitude and tone were not very good, so every time after that, he would deliberately say this.

"Okay." Tang Duyi nodded obediently, and then saw him leaning over and landing a kiss on his forehead.

At this moment, a warm current suddenly surged in her heart, and her brain slowly emptied, as if this kind of married life was much better than two people living together.

When Jing Xiao went downstairs, Shi Qian was already waiting for him.

As soon as he got in the car, he received a message from Zhou Chengyan.

[Brother, this time my uncle won't be real, right? ] Are we going back to the pre-liberation period again? 】

When he got up this morning, he had already found that many of the company's cooperation projects had gone wrong.

He thought that his father's words last night were just words, but now it seems that he is really going to do it.

Originally, Jing Xiao didn't plan to go to the company, but now the situation is a bit urgent, and he has no choice but to tell Tang Duyi that he will go back before lunch.

He didn't reply to the message, but dialed the phone directly.

The phone rang and was answered after two rings, and then Zhou Chengyan's noisy voice came.

"Brother, did you make your uncle so angry last night? He's dealing with you again, are you father and son? ”

"Are you at the company?" Jing Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to his nonsense, and asked bluntly.

"Me? I'm in the company, are you coming over now? Zhou Chengfang on the other side of the phone paused, and said, "Do you need me to do anything?" ”

"You might have to pack up and go on a business trip." He replied briefly, less like a discussion and more like a command.

"I just came back, why do I have to leave again?" Zhou Chengyan complained a little dissatisfied, but quickly changed his tone and discussed, "Brother, it's going to be the New Year, why don't you go to someone else?" ”

"Then you will try to come back before the New Year." Jing Xiao said indifferently, and then hung up the phone, not giving him the slightest chance to bargain.

From nine o'clock in the morning until more than eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Jing Xiao almost never left the conference room.

The atmosphere in the room was very dreary, and everyone was cautious, for fear that they would say the wrong thing.

Although this time the incident is the same as many years ago, today's Jingxiao is no longer what it was back then.

At twelve o'clock at noon, Yajiang North Garden.

When Tang Duyi woke up again, it was rare for the sun to shine outside the window.

The sun poured in through the gauze curtain and shone on her arms, a little warm.

She stared out the window for a moment, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed to wash.

When she finished cleaning up and opened the door and went out, she heard laughter in the living room from a distance, as if Grandma Jing was here and was talking to Jing Xiao at the moment.

After seeing her come out, the two stopped talking.

Old Madam Jing was full of smiles, and took the lead in greeting: "Gardenia, come here, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

Tang Duyi smiled sweetly and called obediently, "Grandma." ”

"Gardenia, grandma came over today because she wants to explain something to you." As she spoke, Mrs. Jing beckoned to her and motioned for her to sit beside her.

Hearing this, she and Jing Xiao glanced at each other, and then did not refuse, obediently walked over, and sat down beside her according to the words.

Jing Xiao looked at her, with doting and gentleness in his eyes, which was completely different from the cold and terrifying appearance in the company conference room not long ago.

"Are you hungry? It's time to eat right away. He asked softly.

"Not hungry." As soon as the words fell, her hand was held by Mrs. Jing on the side.

The old man's face was slightly gloomy, and he said seriously: "Gardenia, Ah Xiao and I didn't mean to lie to you. ”

"Grandma, I already know, I'm not angry." She hurriedly explained, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

She knew that the Jing family didn't mean to lie to her, but they just had concerns, and everyone had a last resort.

Seeing that her grandmother's expression seemed to be a little unconvinced, she glanced at Jing Xiao and wanted him to help her prove it.

However, this guy raised his eyebrows slightly, approached her side, and whispered: "I have already explained it to grandma, but she doesn't believe it, and she has to make it clear to you in person to feel at ease." ”

As soon as she heard this, Tang Duyi looked at a loss, but before she could speak, Mrs. Jing on the side spoke again.

"Gardenia, your grandmother and I can be said to be good friends who grew up together, although we each had a family later and we were both busy, but the relationship between me and her has never changed."

When mentioning her grandmother's affairs, Tang Duyi still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she listened quietly, as if she wanted to paint the scene of the year in her mind through those few words.

Mrs. Jing told her a lot about the past, and she didn't finish until lunch.

At the dinner table, Jing Xiao has always been very considerate of serving food for her, and occasionally will say a few words to echo, and for a while, the atmosphere on the table is particularly warm.

It seems that only in that short meal time can Jing Xiao temporarily forget about the company's affairs and relax his tense nerves.

After eating, Tang Duyi and Mrs. Jing sat on the sofa and drank tea, and did not leave until about three o'clock in the afternoon.

Jing Xiao was with them, and it wasn't until he sent his grandmother away that he went into the study to get busy.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, he received a call from Shi Qian.

"Hey......" his deep voice sounded, looking a little impatient, and even a faint anger.

Shi Qian listened to his slightly displeased voice, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and hurriedly reported the matter, "Master Jing, Tang Hong died in the hospital. ”

"Dead?" He muttered, as if he didn't quite believe it.

How can someone who was fine yesterday die today? And didn't the doctor already say that he was out of danger of life, why would he still die?

"The exact cause is unknown, but the death has been confirmed." Shi Qian's voice was still very calm, without the slightest wave.

Jing Xiao leaned back in his chair, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He took out his cigarette case and pulled out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, slowly exhaling a wisp of white smoke.

It took a long time to reply that I knew.

Shi Qian responded, and then said: "Jing Ye, I found a person who had a good relationship with Tang Hong before, and it can be confirmed that Tang Hong did get something for him, but when we went to look for it, that person was already missing. ”

"Keep checking, I must know what Tang Hong gave him." Jing Xiao explained, feeling a little irritable, and then said, "You let people stare at Qian Lin, since we can find that person, then he must be able to too." ”

Tang Hong's death was unexpected, as soon as he died, many things fell into an impasse, and if you want to break the situation, you have to find the key.

"Understood, I'll arrange for someone to find it as soon as possible." Shi Qian responded respectfully, hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Master Jing, do you think Tang Hong's death was an accident?" ”

"I don't know, this is something that the police should investigate." He replied lightly, obviously unwilling to say more, let alone speculate too much.

Hearing this, Shi Qian also shut up with interest.

After hanging up the phone, Jing Xiao looked in the direction of the door and didn't get up for a long time.

Although he knew that Tang Hong's death could not be hidden, it was just that he didn't know how to tell Tang Duyi, after all, the person who died was her father after all.

After a few moments, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand, got up and walked out of the study.

When he went out, Tang Duyi had just walked from the living room to the bedroom, her expression was a little flustered, it was obvious that she should have received a call and knew the news of Tang Hong's death.

"You got it?" He stopped and asked with a worried expression.
