The man remained against the wall, staring silently at the girl standing on the steps of the doorway.

When he learned from Qi Zhou's mouth that Xia Li had a marriage contract, he had to admit that a trace of unhappiness flashed in his heart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come out of the private room and stood at the door of the bathroom trying to block people and ask if it was true.

But when he really appeared at this time, Xie Yin suddenly realized that he seemed to be too impulsive.

At the same time, the usually calm man was also surprised by this impulse.

He lived for 28 years, and during those 28 years such impulses were few and far between, and when you think about it, they were almost zero.

In the first half of his life, he lived only in a reluctant way, and then he finally sat in this position, no matter what kind of things he encountered, no matter what decisions he made, he would consider again and again, and consider everywhere.

Calm and cold-blooded, it seems to have carried through his whole person.

But now, he will feel unhappy because of the simple word "marriage contract".

So he lit a cigarette, frowned against the wall, and looked up slightly at the warm yellow light on the ceiling of the hallway.

"Mr. Xie?"

Seeing that the man was distracted, Xia Li spoke cautiously.

Xie Yin retracted his thoughts just now.

After a few seconds, he suddenly straightened up and walked in front of Xia Li.

"Mr. Xie, I ....."

Xia Li saw Xie Yin looking at him without saying a word, and subconsciously raised his slightly cool hand and touched his cheek.

She blinked, "Is there something on my face?" ”

Xie Yin stopped when he was still one step away from her:

"Nope. Let's go back to the private room. ”

When the two returned to the private room, Qi Zhou, who was already drunk, had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Xie Yin helplessly glanced at Qizhou who was snoring on the sofa, and finally could only call the driver to "move" him back to the car.

"Mr. Xie, I'll just take a taxi back by myself."

Qizhou has been "moved" into the car by the driver.

Xia Li and Xie Yin stood in front of the black Rolls-Royce.

The evening breeze of the summer night mixed with the slightest coolness blew the girl's loose hair into a mess.

Xie Yin took out the car keys from his suit pocket, and his voice was faint:

"I'll send you."

"Naqizhou he ......"

As he spoke, Xie Yin had already opened the co-pilot's door gentlemanly and glanced at the Maybach that had slowly driven out not far away:

"He doesn't share a car with us."

Xia Li sighed, and then got into the car.

Along the way, Xia Li always felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little strange, and she could clearly feel that the man who was driving next to her seemed to be not in a very good mood.

It seems that since she came out of the bathroom, she felt that the aura on Xie Yin's body was a degree lower than before.

Xia Li wondered in his heart whether to care about it.

After all, everyone is ......

Friend......

In order to show his concern for his friend, Xia Li whispered:

"Mr. Xie, are you in a bad mood?"

The traffic light at the intersection ahead jumped red, and Xie Yin stopped the car and looked sideways at the girl sitting in the passenger seat.

The warm yellow light that came through the window faintly illuminated the girl's cheeks sunken in the saddle.

Even though the car was dim, Xie Yin could still clearly see the girl's gently blinking eyelashes.

Xia Li raised her eyes to meet the man's bottomless eyes, and after a while, she heard a voice overflow from the man's throat:

"Huh?"

Xia Li turned his head to look ahead and coughed lightly:

"I—I'll ask."

She reminded out loud with some confidence: "It's green light......"

Xie Yin retracted his gaze and started the car, and the atmosphere in the car once again returned to its previous quietness.

When he arrived downstairs, Xia Li thanked Xie Yin.

Just turned around to open the door, but heard a slight "click" sound in the car.

The doors were locked.

Xia Li turned her head suspiciously to look at Xie Yin, who was looking at her with one hand on the steering wheel.

"Mr. Xie?"

Looking at him, Xia Li was a little confused.

The girl's bewildered voice sounded in the quiet carriage:

"Is there anything else Mr. Xie has to do?"

The soft voice came into the man's ears, and Xie Yin's eyes sank a little.

The man's Adam's apple in the faint darkness rolled up and down twice, and the words he wanted to ask came to his lips but he couldn't say it.

The man didn't say anything for a long time, she couldn't see the man's expression half-hidden in the dark, and she didn't notice the man's action of wanting to speak and stopping.

Xia Li tilted his head in confusion:

"Mr. Xie?"

Xie Yin came back to his senses, and the hand on the steering wheel was uncomfortably pressed to his lips and coughed lightly:

"It's okay, I just want to remind you not to forget tomorrow night's banquet."

Xia Li hooked his lips and smiled: "I won't forget it." ”

"Okay," Xie Yin unlocked the car door, and there was a faint smile in his deep eyes, "That-"

"Good night."

Xia Li pushed the car door:

"Good night."

When Xia Li returned home, the living room was as quiet as ever.

Xia Youming and Su Jing were still out on a business trip and didn't come back.

Xia Li changed the shoes on his feet, and went straight back to the room in the dark without even turning on the light in the living room.

When she came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she received a call from Su Jing.

"Li Li, you must take care of yourself when your parents are not at home recently."

"Got it, Mom." Xia Li held his mobile phone in one hand and wiped his wet hair with a towel in the other.

"By the way, Li Li," Su Jing on the other end of the phone suddenly sighed, and even lowered her tone a little, "The Qi family called me today." ”

Xia Li's hand that was wiping his hair suddenly stopped, and he had a bad premonition in his heart for some reason.

Su Jing's voice came from the phone:

The Qi family said that Qi Du insisted on canceling the marriage contract. Li Li, Mom thinks these things don't have to be forced. Otherwise, the last two will be embarrassed. ”

"But Mom...... That company ......"

"Your father and I will find a way to deal with the company's affairs," Su Jing softened her tone, "Qi Du wants to cancel the marriage contract, even if he is forced to marry you, your life will not be happy in the future." ”

Xia Li sat quietly on the bed and did not make a sound.

The strings in my brain were torn off because of the phrase "cancel the engagement", and all thoughts went blank at this moment.

"Mom and dad both think that the marriage contract should be settled like this."

苏菁 says:

"Mom and Dad don't want to sell their daughters to maintain the company's growth, and your happiness and happiness are the most important thing compared to the company."

Xia Li always knew that in the hearts of Su Jing and Xia Youming, she would always be the one who was put first.

But because of this, she wanted to do something to repay them.

"Li Li, listen to your parents, don't force it."

Don't force yourself, and don't force yourself.

Su Jing was worried that Xia Li would be sad, and comforted softly:

"You know, maybe everything is arranged for the best."

After ending the call with Su Jing, Xia Li sat on the edge of the bed for a long time.

The brain is like a rusty part, unable to turn.

Thinking of the conversation he overheard in the toilet before, Xia Li vaguely guessed in his heart whether the reason why Qi Du canceled the marriage contract was because of that girl.

After a long time, Xia Li went into the bathroom with her half-dried hair.

Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, Xia Li sighed.

Now that the marriage contract with the Qi family has been canceled, it seems that it is much more difficult for the Xia family to turn over than imagined.

She picked up the hair dryer hanging on the wall and pressed the hot air with her fingertips.

The cacophony of a hair dryer sounded in her ears, and the hot wind blew through her ears.

She looked at herself in the mirror blowing her hair.

Will there really be the best arrangement.....

-

When Xie Yin returned to Tingyuan, Qizhou had been arranged by the housekeeper to sleep in the guest bedroom.

The moonlight shone through the window on the man sitting at his desk.

The lights weren't turned on in the quiet study.

In the darkness, the only light was the moonlight outside the window.

The man sat down at his desk.

He held the watch in his hand and held it half-up in the air, his fingertips gently rubbing the slightly cool strap, and the bottom of his eyes was an incomprehensible emotion.

This action was stalemate for a long time.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door of the study that Xie Yin casually put the watch on the desk.

"Boss."

Ji Cheng opened the door of the study, but saw that it was dark inside.

The man's cold voice rang out in the quiet study: "Come in, turn on the light." ”

Ji Cheng answered, turned on the switch at the door and walked in.

"Boss," he said, walking over to the desk and placing the papers in his hand on the desk in front of the man, "here are the materials you asked me to investigate." ”

Although Ji Cheng didn't know why his boss suddenly wanted to investigate the Xia family and the Qi family, as a qualified worker, he only needed to listen to his boss and complete the work.

As for the rest, it's not for him, a worker, to take care of it.

Xie Yin picked up the document, and his voice was cold:

"Have you checked the marriage contract between the Xia family and the Qi family?"

At that time, on the way out of the private room to block people, Xie Yin sent a message to Ji Cheng.

He asked Ji Cheng to thoroughly investigate everything in the Xia family and the Qi family over the years, including the so-called marriage contract between the two families.

Ji Cheng, who was standing at the desk, nodded:

"Checked, it was originally set by the old man Qi on his deathbed for the daughter of the Xia family and the little son of the Qi family. After hearing that the Xia family's capital chain was broken, he pinned his hopes on the marriage with the Qi family. ”

Ji Cheng looked at his boss's expression and continued:

"However, I heard rumors from the outside world that the little boy of the Qi family seemed to be very reluctant, and he released the other party's pigeon when he received the certificate."

"Recently, I heard that the little son of the Qi family is in a relationship with an Internet celebrity, and the latest news I found just now is that the little son of the Qi family insists on canceling the marriage contract."

Xie Yin, who had not spoken, looked at Ji Cheng from the document in his hand and asked lightly:

"Annulment?"

"Well, I just don't know what the Xia family said, but I estimate that if the Xia family doesn't have the help of the Qi family, it will be difficult to turn over again."

Xie Yin closed the document in his hand and put it on the desk.

He picked up the cigarette case next to him and pulled out a slender cigarette, and tapped the cigarette butt twice between his fingertips.

"You don't need to be in the same family."

Ji Cheng, who has always been smart, suddenly couldn't understand the meaning of his boss's words.

The man's deep voice fell, and the man passed the cigarette to his mouth and lit the end of the cigarette with the metal cigarette lighter in his hand.

The man's expression was blurred in the smoke and squinted his extremely indifferent black eyes:

"It's not just the Qi family who can turn the Xia family over."

He can too.
