Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven

The next morning, everything was as usual. Mom and Dad were sitting at the dining table having breakfast. When Qian Duoduo sat down, my mother was talking to his wife about morning exercises. When she saw the new big golden retriever downstairs, she didn’t turn her head when she sat down. , just pushed the plate of pan-fried buns at her side toward her, "here, go to work after eating." Mother and daughter for many years, fully understood what mother meant, Qian Duoduo immediately raised his chopsticks to respond, and added, "It's really beautiful, I saw it yesterday morning, it's so skinny, I saw Uncle Wu downstairs pulled it Can’t stop, Mom, don’t you think so?”

The atmosphere at the dining table was good, Dad Qian smiled happily, and then passed the vinegar dish to his daughter, "Duo Duo, are you busy today?" "There's a meeting in the morning, but don't worry, it won't start until ten o'clock." Qian Duoduo dipped in vinegar, took a bite of fried rice and answered. After finishing the family breakfast happily, Qian Duoduo went to work on time. When she got in the car, she saw her parents standing on the terrace watching her leave. She raised her head and waved with a smile. Sometimes someone who loves you breaks your heart, but luckily she understands that a family is always a family.

But after getting in the car, she still sighed, and after thinking about it, she took out her phone and called the lady from the real estate company to inquire about the progress. Although it was angry words, what my mother said was not unreasonable.There is nothing wrong with the family being attached to each other, but she is not a child after all, and it is not that she is unable to afford her own life. She has been living with her parents like this, and even she herself feels that there is a problem. The lady from the real estate company had an impression of her, and she answered in a sweet voice, "Ah, it's Ms. Qian, the building has been renovated and is about to inform you that it's ready to move in. Just come and go through the formalities when you're free.

This was the best news she had heard in the past two days, and Qian Duoduo agreed very readily this time.Small Footprint Parent-child Forum After working all morning, Qian Duoduo answered and connected two calls during lunch time. Ye Mingshen's was the first to ask her when she would leave work. She was thinking about this matter, and immediately answered the time after looking at the calendar.The second call was from Xu Fei, who could be heard eating, and there was the sound of crosses rising and falling in the background. "Where to eat?" Qian Duoduo asked first. "At the restaurant, talk to someone about something."

"Call me to talk about things, won't the people who eat with you throw a fork at you?" Hearing his voice was very happy, she smiled. "Fortunately, I'm fast." He also smiled, and his voice lowered softly when talking to her, "Duo Duo, I'll fly to Shenzhen in the afternoon and go to the Hotan headquarters once." so suddenly?Didn't hear him mention it yesterday, Qian Duoduo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, be careful on the road, call me when you arrive." "Okay." He agreed. I wanted to say something, but suddenly I heard another voice from the other end, "Kenny, sorry for keeping you waiting."

That voice is very familiar - Keiko. He was very elusive about this young lady, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but frown after passing that sentence in his ear, and wanted to ask more questions, but he opened his mouth and swallowed it back, and then followed him in the most ordinary voice do not. They're not teenage couples anymore, they don't even have this trust, so what kind of relationship is there! After the company was busy until eight o'clock, Qian Duoduo drove to Ye Mingshen's school by himself. In fact, this place was not far from the company and Xu Fei's apartment. She often passed by, but never walked in.

People on the street were in a hurry. Although it was dark, there were still many people striding forward with computer bags on their backs. When the light was red, mopeds and bicycles lined up, occupying the driveway. Everyone stared at the red light with a numb expression. But as soon as the car turns into the campus, it seems to be in another world. The driveway is not wide, and the trees on both sides are densely shaded. Bicycles pass by the car slowly. The young couple walking by holding hands has a sweet look on their faces. After such a scene, the speed of the car slowed down unknowingly, and Gu Pan looked sad.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the graduate school, it was just in time for get out of class to end. Many people came out, Ye Mingshen was among them. Seeing her, he smiled from a distance, and he was still eye-catching in the crowd and the night. "k Qian Duoduo looked at it and couldn't help but sighed. Such a talent is willing to sign a cooperation agreement with her, which is really a big face, but she doesn't want it, so no wonder she is so heartless and reckless. My mother was full of resentment. Ye Mingshen is a gentleman, and used to make an appointment to pick her up early, but now the relationship between the two has changed, and her motive for agreeing to attend the party with him today is not pure, so Qian Duoduo insisted on driving over to meet him on the phone. Meet.

"Hi, long time no see." She got out of the car and spoke to him. , "Long time no see." Ye Mingshen smiled slightly. "Where's your car?" "Park in the school parking lot. That place is very close to here. You can just walk there. There must be a lot of people driving there tonight, so I won't take up the parking space." "I see." Qian Duoduo nodded, "Then you get in the car, I'll drive." "Let me come, in case you don't know me." He opened the door of the passenger seat for her, and Qian Duoduo didn't refuse, and simply got in.

After starting, he said, "Duo Duo, how are you doing recently? I heard from my uncle and aunt that you have been promoted to director, but I haven't congratulated you yet." "Thank you." Qian Duoduo simply answered two words. She has a straightforward personality and can't hide things in her heart. At this moment, she couldn't help asking, "Mingshen, did you talk to her about me?" "Who? Oh, you said Qingqing, it was Da Li who happened to meet her, and we started talking about it." Just after class, some students were walking in the driveway. He looked at the front of the car and answered with a smile on his face. .

"Oh, so that's how it is." She also remembered the man with the loud voice, who looked very enthusiastic, so it's not surprising that he did such a thing. The car has already turned out of the back gate of the campus during the conversation. The street is not long, and when you drive to the end, there is a quiet neighborhood, and Xu Fei's apartment is also there. i When he turned the direction, his goal was clear and his movements were steady. Qian Duoduo still wanted to talk, but the road in front of him became more and more familiar, so he couldn't help asking, "Where is her home?" "Here, I say it's very close." He replied with a smile, and then turned the car into the gate of the community on the right. "Here?" Qian Duoduo's voice was surprised. This neighborhood is not big, and the two high-rise buildings are shoulder to shoulder. It is very quiet inside. It is exactly where Xu Fei's apartment is located. The car stopped in front of the barrier, and the security guard came over and lowered his head to ask. Ye Mingshen pressed the window to answer, and then pointed forward. The security guard was looking down, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Qian Duoduo, and then looked back and forth between the two of them with a surprised expression. The person who was even more surprised was Qian Duoduo. There were too many accidents in the past two days. Now she has been numb from the constant shock, and she can't find any reaction. Qingqing's apartment and Xu Fei's apartment are not in the same building, and the floor is higher, the top floor.The lights in the elevator were bright, Qian Duoduo stood silently in the corner, looking up, he only saw his own expression on the mirror door, his eyes were full of contradictions. Are you going?Or turn around and leave now?The fuzzy image similar to her in the photo, the glimpse of the Hong Kong hotel lobby, the chaos in front of the subway station, and the same car I saw here last night, all of them were slowly connected after Ye Mingshen moved into the community Get together, just wait for the moment when you push the door, the answer will be revealed. And this answer, she really wants to know, does she really need to know? That's Yiyi's life, Niu Zhensheng's life, and the so-called Qingqing's life, so what does it have to do with her? No close friend can make any small decision on behalf of others. The more she knows about this matter, the more meaningless it becomes. So what if she knows it?Knowing what else can she do? ! Suddenly feeling ridiculous, Qian Duoduo frowned and took a step back. Ye Mingshen's voice suddenly came from next to his ear, "Duoduo, are you okay?" He stood right behind her, and although he was talking to her, his eyes were still focused on the numbers displayed in the elevator. "Mingshen, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. Can I not go? I'm so sorry." After deciding, Qian Duoduo said, with his fingers already on the side button, and he planned to press the down button directly when the elevator arrived. It was too late, the elevator went straight up, quickly and smoothly, without any pauses, and Qian Duoduo finished his sentence. With a clear "ding", the mirror door in front of him slid open smoothly to both sides, and there was a man and a man outside the door. The woman was standing at the door of the elevator and was speaking. She looked at her at the same time, with several eyes interlaced and different expressions. "Qingqing, Steve?" Ye Mingshen was the first to speak after getting out of the elevator, with surprise in his voice. The woman who was called had her hair curled up and was wearing a dress. Although it was not cold at night, she was still wearing a wide silk shawl, which made her look even more beautiful. It was Qian Duoduo who saw her appearing with Niu Zhensheng several times. that girl. This is the first time that Qian Duoduo has faced this girl who is three points similar in appearance to her. The girl is obviously young, with smooth eyes and exquisite makeup when she smiles. Looking closely, she feels that she is not particularly similar to herself. place, it feels far away. The most normal reaction among the four was Qingqing, who looked at Ye Mingshen and smiled, and quickly replied, "Mingshen, do you know my husband? What a coincidence, this is Duoduo, right? I heard Da Li mentioned you, welcome, this is me Sir, Niu Zhensheng." "Your husband?" Qian Duoduo couldn't pretend anymore that there were two living people in front of him, so he asked directly, and then gave Niu Zhensheng a straight look. Qingqing's hand was still in Niu Zhensheng's arm, and she smiled sweetly. And Qian Duoduo suddenly felt confused when he saw it, as if he saw Yiyi standing in front of him with the same posture and the same man, and said to her with a smile, "Duodu, come and get acquainted, this is my husband." At that time, she was moved by envy, but she didn't expect the word to be so cheap and ridiculous, so she couldn't laugh. It was completely unexpected that these two people would appear after the elevator door opened, especially Qian Duoduo, with piercing eyes, almost saw two holes in him.Niu Zhensheng, who is over forty years old and has been rolling in the business field for many years, did not dare to make eye contact with her at this moment. It was a completely instinctive reaction. He then stepped back, drew his hand and put it behind him. He did not expect this action at all. It's trying to cover up. "Mingshen, I'm sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable, I have to take a step first." Not wanting to look at the couple again, Qian Duoduo's voice was cold, the elevator was still on the top floor, she stretched out her hand and pressed the door open button, and stepped in with one step. "Duo Duo, wait a moment." Ye Mingshen didn't hold back, and watched the elevator door close in front of him. She felt something was stuck in her throat and her breathing was difficult. Qian Duoduo almost ran out of the building. There were footsteps behind her. She strode towards the parking lot without turning her head when she spoke, "Mingshen, You and I know Steve and Yiyi, as for what we saw just now, I don’t want to say another word, you should know what their relationship is.” "Miss Qian, please stay." The voice behind him was not Ye Mingshen's. Qian Duoduo stood still and turned around, only seeing Niu Zhensheng. Not wanting to say another word to this man, Qian Duoduo turned back and continued walking forward, the footsteps quickened, he stood in front of the car one step ahead of her, and raised his hand to block the car door she was about to open. "Mr. Niu, please respect yourself." Qian Duoduo frowned. "Duo Duo, that was a misunderstanding." His voice was a little hurried. "Misunderstanding?" Thinking it was funny, she sneered, "How old is Miss Qingqing? You can't even admit your husband is wrong, right?" "I..." He was stunned for a moment, unable to speak. Too lazy to pay any attention, Qian Duoduo went to pull the door again, but his hand was fastened on the top of the door. She couldn't pull it even after trying hard once, and the stale air surged up. She simply slammed the door shut and turned her head to look directly at him. he. "Duoduo, listen to my explanation, I'm already working on solving this troublesome matter, where is Yiyi..." The cheating husband asked his wife's friend to hide the truth on the grounds that he was working on this troublesome matter—— trouble!When they don’t see the light, they call it the blessing of Qiren, but after seeing the light, it becomes a troublesome thing, it’s ridiculous, Qian Duoduo finally laughed out loud this time, “Mr. Niu, don’t worry, I won’t interfere with others You don't need to explain to me about the family affairs, if you want to explain, please go home." After hearing this sentence, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of the hand that was clasping the car door. It was cold and windy at night, and he was actually sweating, so he had time to wipe it off. "Thank you, Duoduo, I also know you won't." The street lights in the neighborhood were dimly lit, his forehead was covered with sweat and a layer of oily shine, he suddenly felt sick, Qian Duoduo didn't want to stay any longer, so he simply said goodbye, got into the car directly, and stepped on the accelerator vigorously. ? Niu Zhensheng didn't move, and stood there watching her leave. She couldn't help but look in the rearview mirror, where he was with slumped shoulders, incredibly old. Isn't this man just over forty?Why did you become so old all of a sudden!Unable to figure it out, and too lazy to think about it, Qian Duoduo forced himself to focus on the front. The lights of the car had already been turned on, and when she glanced over, two figures suddenly appeared in front of the car, and they were about to collide with them. Desperate, she slammed on the brakes, her heart beating so hard that it almost fell out of her throat. After calming down and looking ahead, there was indeed a man and a woman standing in front of the car, wearing professional attire. The moment he was startled by the sound of brakes, the man moved quickly, pulling his female partner behind him, his eyes were straight She turned to look at her, the headlights were bright, illuminating the faces of the two people clearly, she blinked in disbelief, and then opened the two familiar faces - Xu Fei and Yamada Keiko. It was past nine o'clock, and there were no people walking around in the community. The driveway was open in front of it, facing the landscape fountain at the gate. At this time, the water column splashed down, and a faint mist filled the air. The reflection of the lamp and the water is pleasant, but she feels that everything in front of her has changed color in a daze, and she can't tell whether it is an illusion or not. Why him and her? Shouldn't he be in Shenzhen?Why did he appear in front of his apartment building with her at this time! She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't want to think about it. She felt that something had collapsed out of thin air, making her whole body stiff. Qian Duoduo's toes were still on the brakes, but her body had no command. She didn't know how to react next. Someone knocked on the car window, lightly at first, then hard, and called her name urgently, "Dodo, Dodo? Are you okay?" She was still in a daze, looked sideways for a few seconds before she realized, and groped her fingers to push the door. Ye Mingshen stood outside the door with a worried expression on her face. At this time, before she could fully open the door, she lowered her head to check whether she was alright. lossless. But the other person moved faster than him. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled Qian Duoduo out, grabbed her shoulders and looked up and down, and heaved a sigh of relief, before uttering a sentence, "Duoduo, what are you doing?" This embrace was familiar, but she suddenly resisted, she didn't want to get close, she struggled to retreat, another hand stretched out, Ye Mingshen held her with one hand and grabbed Xu Fei's wrist with the other, and said, "Sir, you... " "Let go, we know each other." Recognizing the man's appearance, Xu Fei frowned, and his hands on Qian Duoduo's shoulders remained motionless. l The scene was embarrassing, Qian Duoduo couldn't retreat, and was dizzy for a while, and finally couldn't help but yelled at the man in front of him, "Kenny, let me go and talk!" Keiko also came over, "Dona, why is it you? Kenny, we..." Xu Fei frowned, and he didn't turn his head when he spoke, he just replied, "Keiko, please get in the car first, thank you." Then he continued to ask Qian Duoduo, "Duo Duo? Let me ask you something." After hearing this answer, Keiko was taken aback. She was born rich and noble, and she had never been neglected so much before, but after taking another look at the scene of the three people in front of her, she took a step back and chose to remain silent, then turned around and walked out. The company's driver was waiting at the door, and was surprised when he saw her coming out alone, "Miss Huizi? Where's Mr. Xu? Didn't you mean to pick him up and go to the airport together?" "He has something to do, let's wait a little longer." She replied after sitting in the car, thought for a while, reached out and pushed down the window, and let out a long breath. After listening to Xu Fei's words, Ye Mingshen turned his attention to Qian Duoduo again. It was windy at night, and the water from the fountain splashed everywhere, and some of it was brought to her face by the wind. Can I have a few words with Kenny alone, thank you." He was silent, and someone came out of the building again, and when he looked around, he was a little flustered, and his shawl fell to the ground. He hesitated when he saw them, and stopped not far away. It was Qingqing. Niu Zhensheng had already disappeared without a trace. She looked at Ye Mingshen and Qian Duoduo with a look of bewilderment.Ye Mingshen nodded to Qian Duoduo, then walked there, patted Qingqing and bowed his head to talk, then led her back, and soon entered the building again. Quiet around him, feeling that the day was extremely chaotic, Qian Duoduo lowered his eyes. "Duoduo, why did you come here suddenly?" he said. "Can't I come? Why are you still here? When did Shanghai change its name to Shenzhen." She asked without answering. "Flight change, don't change the topic, okay?" "Does Keiko need to inform you of the flight change? You don't want to change the subject." "Dodo, what are you thinking?" "What are you thinking!" It was quiet at night, and the sound of brakes just now had drawn the security guards out of the community, and they were even more puzzled when they saw their appearance. Distraught, but rationality told her that there was no need to entertain the public here, so Qian Duoduo stepped back again, pinching her right wrist with her left hand, forcing herself to calm down. Suddenly there was an urgent meeting to attend in the afternoon, and the secretary was temporarily asked to change the flight. He was busy until the evening before returning home to pick up the luggage. When she was ready, she opened the door and saw Keiko standing in front of her, smiling and saying that the driver was already waiting outside the door. I didn't expect that she would suddenly appear at the door of his apartment. Although the reason was high-sounding, it always caused misunderstanding, especially Duoduo. When he was going downstairs, he was thinking how to talk to Keiko about how to get along with Keiko. Before he could say anything, a car drove up quickly and braked sharply in front of them, with a high-pitched voice. His first reaction was to step forward to question him, but he didn't expect to see Qian Duoduo in the driver's seat. Just as he was thinking about her, she suddenly appeared in this way, and there was an even more unexpected situation, someone ran to the car before him, with an eager expression and intimate words. He had an impression of this man. He met Qian Duoduo by chance at the movie theater and saw him off at the airport. He and Qian Duoduo were always very close, but that was before he was with her. Duoduo never mentioned it, nor did he ask.He didn't expect to see them together again in front of his house, his body reacted faster than he thought, and he instinctively wanted to catch her and ask her clearly. Someone beside him walked over hesitantly, and interjected in a low voice, "Mr. Xu, the plane...") It was the driver, Lao Meng, who waited outside for a long time, but the time was really wrong, and finally came in to remind him timidly. Qian Duoduo's mind was entangled, and his wrists were stinging from his fingernails. They had only been together for a few months, and they had never had an argument. This was the first time they were relatively silent. She already understood the situation, but the scene was already frozen, and she didn't know how to get off the stage. She finally said, "It's important to catch the plane, you go first." The driver was still waiting by the side, time was tight, and there was no way to procrastinate any longer. After a few seconds of silence, Xu Fei nodded silently, and walked out. Just leave like this?Don't even say goodbye?Qian Duoduo stood there stunned, his head swollen, and he felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to call him to stop him, but he refused to make a sound. The driver had already walked out, but his feet were heavy, he took two steps and then turned back, the water was glistening by the fountain, her shoulders were slumped in such light, her silhouette was petite and pitiful. It was uncomfortable at first, but suddenly his heart softened, he didn't want to leave her like this, and felt that his behavior before was really naive, so he turned around and walked back again. "What are you doing?" The footsteps stopped in front of him, but Qian Duoduo looked to the side. Alas, he is not big, but has such a big temper. Forget it, I’m not the only one on the mountain, I’m on the mountain when I’m here, Xu Fei stretched out his hands, hugged her first and then spoke, “Okay, I’m sorry.” Unexpectedly, he would say that. Qian Duoduo's originally tense nerves suddenly lost direction, her nose was sore, and she finally lowered her forehead and whispered against his shoulder, "It's okay, I'll explain to you later." "Okay." Without time to say more, he hugged her again, "Go home early and drive carefully." I think he looks like my father when he said this, with his cheek buried in his shoulder, Qian Duoduo said in a muffled voice, "Don't do that, Master Meng will see No matter what time she still can't forget the pornographic news, Xu Fei couldn't help laughing in a low voice, "Understood, I will call you when I arrive, don't refuse to answer, or I will kill you right away." "It's already midnight, am I still sleeping or not?" Miraculously, his messy mood suddenly dissipated in his laughter, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Qian Duoduo, who had been troubled all night, couldn't hold back his laughter. "Sleep? You still owe me an explanation, dare to sleep?" I knew it would be too late, but I just hugged her and didn't want to let go. I suddenly turned back into a child, and I just wanted to hold on to my most precious thing for 24 hours. . "Okay, okay, let's go." The two adult men and women quarreled and laughed for a while. If this continues, others will think that they have neurological problems. Qian Duoduo stretched out his hand to push him, and after thinking about it, he added, "Be careful on the road. I'll wait for your call." It was indeed too late, Xu Fei finally let go of his hand and turned around, only took two steps and then suddenly turned around, looked at her and smiled. "What are you doing again?" Qian Duoduo still stood where she was, and couldn't help looking at her when she was watching her off. At this moment, he turned her head and looked straight at her. She was a little embarrassed, and her face flushed a little when she spoke. He still smiled, and said three words softly, "Don't worry." The tip of her nose was suddenly filled with a sour taste. She restrained her emotions and nodded and smiled, before replying the same three words to him. "Do not worry." The driver, Lao Meng, has returned to the driver's seat. He has worked in UVL for many years. Of course, Xu Fei and Qian Duoduo are very familiar with each other, but they always know what to say and what not to say in this job. Keiko in the seat said hello, then consciously remained silent, and began to lower her head while steering the steering wheel, thinking that it would be safer to fly to the airport by that road. The windows of the car were still open, there were few pedestrians near the residential area, and it was very quiet in the car. Suddenly there was a low laughter from the back seat. Keep your head down. Suddenly I heard a question in my ear, "Is there still time?" Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Xu Fei striding towards him, Lao Meng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied, "It should be fine, don't worry, Ms. Yamada." She was also looking in that direction, and the corner of her mouth curled up when she spoke, "Really? That's good." Qian Duoduo suffered from insomnia that night, with so many things in his mind, he just wanted to talk to someone.In the past, she always called Yiyi when encountering such situations, but this time she couldn't even think about the word Yiyi, so she had to wait for Xu Fei's plane to land. Counting the time to dial the phone, the phone answered the phone as soon as it rang, Xu Fei smiled, "Duo Duo, I just got off the plane, didn't I tell you to wait for me to call?" "I can't sleep, I have something on my mind." He was thinking about the situation just now on the plane, and now his voice became serious, "What happened? Tell me." What happened?Qian Duoduo opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start.This matter sounds complicated and entangled, but she is not qualified to make rash comments. After thinking for a long time, she finally said the simplest few words, and finally sighed. She said it simply, but after contacting the cause and effect, Xu Fei also understood a little bit, thinking that he might have seen the girl whose facial features resembled Qian Duoduo before, so he couldn't help sighing, "Duoduo, don't think so If there are more, it will be very hard.” "I know." Clutching the phone and turning over on the bed, Qian Duoduo said in a low voice, "I just think I'm ridiculous, I just happened to see it, and ran away by myself, now I'm making a mess." "It's normal to care about friends." He replied in a low voice, and then laughed again, "Do you want to listen to a joke?" again?Qian Duoduo kept his eyes fixed, then the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed, and he asked in a low voice, "No more, it's cold." "Okay, then you go to bed early." He liked her smiling voice, and was finally relieved. He smiled, paused for a second, and lowered his voice, "Duo, I love you." The airport was noisy, and midnight was filled with all kinds of noises, but his voice in the microphone seemed to be right next to her, and the disturbing background merged with the silence around her, which was a wonderful feeling.It's not the first time I've heard these three words, but I still feel shocked. The corner of my mouth smiles, and I suddenly feel desolate after laughing. To love someone, to think of her happy, to think hard, to worry about her.In this way, Niu Zhensheng also loved Yiyi a long time ago, right?But it was the same person who turned around lightly after a few years and stood beside another woman. What changed everything?marriage? "A lot?" There was no answer, nor did he hear the sound of hanging up the line, so Xu Fei asked questions on the other end. "Kenny." Conflicted in his heart, Qian Duoduo's voice was a little strange. ( what to do?She is afraid of the future, but even more afraid of missing the present. "Huh?" He replied as he walked.It was time to leave the gate, but Keiko had already walked forward, she was very silent all the way, but here she stopped and looked back at him. Qian Duoduo's voice sounded again, very soft but very clear, "Thank you, I love you too." Before she had time to answer, she had already hung up, and the mechanical beeping kept going. "Kenny?" He suddenly stood still, feeling strange, Keiko called out again, and then froze. He was almost at the exit, only tens of steps away, not far away, but he turned a deaf ear to her call, and still stood alone, with a smile slowly appearing on his face, sparkling among the bustling crowd. The distance was only dozens of steps, not far away, but she suddenly had the illusion that the smile came from another world, infinitely far away, a place that she could not reach even with all her strength. The day after Xu Fei left Shanghai, the first domestic monopoly law came into effect. UVL has entered the domestic market for more than ten years. Although the market share has not reached the monopoly standard, it has always been strong in marketing channels, and has just announced the overall acquisition plan for the domestic brand Hotan.Immediately became the target of public criticism. The company's legal department's phone rings constantly all day long, and even the marketing department is affected. Many project plans that have been drawn up have been withdrawn for re-discussion. Qian Duoduo has only been in office for more than a month, and the internal situation is still not completely stable. Attacking inside and outside, I feel that I have been battered all day long. The news that M&C intends to participate in the bid for acquisition has not yet been confirmed, and the acquisition of Hotan has been obstructed by other similar domestic enterprises and some government departments. And Xu Feifei went to Hong Kong after Shenzhen, and then flew to London with Kairos to negotiate with the board of directors. Before he knew it, half a month had passed. It made her feel sour. It's been a long time since she missed a man like this. She misses his smell, misses his company, and misses the feeling of his being around. Catch the nearest plane and fly to him. If you can't control yourself like this, how will you go in the future?When he woke up, Qian Duoduo scolded himself, and then forced himself to close his eyes in the dark. Things in the company made her exhausted, and it was not an option to go home in the middle of the night every day. After working overtime for a week, Qian Duoduo decided to move into her apartment as soon as possible. She bought a hotel-style service apartment, which has been renovated, and even the furniture has been thoughtfully prepared for the residents. She spent a weekend tidying it up a bit, and brought her parents over for a visit the next day, and then went to a nearby restaurant Had a meal together. Of course, Mom and Dad couldn't accept it at first, and Ms. Qian was even more straightforward. After sitting in the box, she started to read her before the food was served, "Duo Duo, do you think Mom is nagging? Don't want to go home?" "No." Qian Duoduo complained, "It's close to the company, so I live overtime. You can't sleep well when you come home too late. Don't move my room at home, I still have to sleep." "Duoduo, when did you buy this house? Why didn't you discuss it with us, is the money enough?" Qian's father was more practical, and he had already started to take out his passbook while talking. His daughter said in the morning that he would take them to see the house, and he had prepared it at that time. He thought he was going to see the apartment that Duoduo was planning to buy, but he didn't expect that everything was ready when he arrived, and he was stunned until now when he remembered the apartment in his pocket. Zhang Zhezi. "That's right, you don't discuss such a big matter with your family. You are older and you have a lot of ideas. What else can your parents do to you? Why do you just live outside without saying a word?" Mom didn't get angry this time, and finished her sentence He sighed. Quickly holding down Dad's hand to take out the passbook, Qian Duoduo turned to look at Mom again, "Dad, Mom, I don't mean to leave you, I just, just..." "Okay, we understand." Dad patted his wife on the shoulder, not wanting his daughter to be so embarrassing, "I'm getting older, I always need a little space for myself, it's not that I can't see my daughter anymore, isn't she going to come back to sleep, Don't be nervous, your daughter is so capable, you should be happy." Qian Duoduo nodded vigorously, then hugged her mother's other arm to act like a baby, Qian's mother was attacked by two sides, and she couldn't hold it anymore. After she sighed, she stretched out her finger to poke her daughter's forehead, "Sooner or later, you will be mad at me, let's get married sooner. I won't care about you anymore when you get married, and you don't like me worrying about me." no?again? Qian Duoduo and Qian's father lowered their heads tacitly at the same time, burying their heads in the job bowl in front of them and began to work hard. Qian's mother finally started her long talk. Seeing the two of them being angry and funny, she opened her mouth and finally stopped talking. , Sighed and started to drink soup. At noon the next day, Qian Duoduo finally called Yiyi, and it took a long time to answer the call. At noon, there was music in the background there, as if in a special space. Yiyi's speech was slightly intermittent. It is the psychological effect of Qian Duoduo, which always feels a little weird. After leaving MMK that day, Yiyi never contacted her again, and she didn't know what to say to Yiyi, so Qian Duoduo made up her mind when she called this number, but now when she heard Yiyi's voice, she It was difficult to pronounce words again, but Yiyi answered quickly. "A new apartment?" There was a rustling voice from the other end, as if she got up and started to walk, and then the background quieted down, "Okay, I just wanted to talk to you, when is it convenient? Tonight?" "Steve isn't here?" Qian Duoduo blurted out. Yiyi asked without answering, "Do you want me to come?" Qian Duoduo sighed inwardly, then looked at the calendar and nodded: "Okay, see you tonight." I thought about having a good talk with Yiyi tonight, but Qian Duoduo was in a hurry and still had to work until seven o'clock before he could get away. When she entered the building, she hurried to the door, reaching into her bag for the phone to call Yiyi, when suddenly a headlight flashed behind her, she almost jumped up in fright, Qian Duoduo turned her head sharply. There was a familiar big black car parked behind her, Yiyi pushed the door down from the passenger seat, looked at her and smiled The car didn't stop, and as soon as Yiyi got off the car, it drove out of the gate. Qian Duoduo had bad eyesight, and just glanced at it in a hurry. At this time, he looked at the direction where the car disappeared and said, "Hey, your house Has the driver changed?" "Okay, don't worry about it, show me the new house quickly." Yiyi didn't answer, she dragged her into the building. Qian Duoduo called the food delivery service, and the table was neatly arranged after entering the room. While taking off her shoes, she lamented the convenience of modern life. Yiyi had already sat down on a pile of pillows on the ground before her, and sighed, "It's so comfortable , Duoduo, I am so envious." "It's fine for others to say this, you don't come here. My small house is not as big as your garage, right? Envy yourself." Qian Duoduo came over to pull her, shook his head with a smile. "You like it? Then let's change." Yiyi couldn't get up, but dragged her down instead. "It's so refreshing to tell jokes." In fact, he didn't have much appetite, so Qian Duoduo took the opportunity to sit down. When they were young, the two of them nestled in the small bedroom, each hugging a pillow and chatting all day. Later, as they got older, they gradually moved to restaurants and restaurants. In the coffee shop, she suddenly revisited the past and felt very emotional. She pulled the pillow to make herself more comfortable, and replied with a smile. "Really, I'm not joking." Yiyi suddenly looked over at her face, a well-maintained lotus face, after so many years, it seems that the years have not left a trace on it, but at this moment, in those beautiful eyes, With extremely complicated emotions criss-crossing, Qian Duoduo was stunned. "Don't you want it?" Yiyi smiled, turned her head and stopped looking at her, "That's right, if I were you, I definitely don't want such a life full of holes." L Waking up suddenly, Qian Duoduo looked at Yiyi with wide eyes and said nothing. "Duo Duo, Niu Zhensheng talked to me, just this morning." Yiyi still didn't look back, she hugged the pillow tightly in her hands, her fingers sank into the soft fabric one by one with force. 么好了，钱多多沉默良久，最后轻轻把手放在她的肩膀上低声开口，“没事的。” 依依回头的时候牵动嘴角，好像想笑，但是很不成功，“多多，我真该谢谢你，如果不是你，我看他一辈子都不会把这件事说出来。” 钱多多叹气，“他不了解我，其实我不会说，我只会劝你小心财产转移，未雨绸缪。” 依依一笑落泪，回头抓住她的手。 事情的经过和钱多多的预想的并不相同，就在今天清早，牛振声在卧室里与依依对坐而谈，他所谓的坦白最开始并没有对依依造成太大的冲击，她甚至不觉得吃惊，听得非常平静。 夫妻之间有一种微妙的透视力，对方的心是否已有杂念，只要坦白地问问自己的感觉便知道，用不着任何人的提醒。 所以当牛振声有些艰难地说出对不起那三个字的时候，她竟觉得他可怜。 其实可以理解，就算是一个天仙，不眨眼地看了那么多年，也会腻，更何况是一个女人？ 但他接下来说的话，让她整个跌入冰窑里，他说，“对不起，依依，你让我说完，你也知道这些年我多想要个孩子，我没想过要离婚再娶，今时今日我也不可能和你离婚，但是我真的想要一个孩子，她怀孕了，可能是我的，我就是想让她生下来。” “那以后呢？”一瞬间浑身冷得发抖，话都说不清，她咬着舌尖让自己别再抖了，一直到满嘴血腥味，终于吐出一句话来。 “我想过了，她还是个小姑娘，不会想跟我们抢孩子的。等她生下来以后我就给她一笔钱送她国外定居，那孩子就当我们收养的，你，我还有孩子，以后我们的家就完整了，你说好不好？” 他说的理所当然，但她眼前模糊，熟悉的面孔在面前扭曲变形。这是牛振声吗？她认识了十多年的男人，她的丈夫，是他吗？怎么她不认识了？ 他还在那里滔滔不绝，她沉默地立起来往外走，他追上来，她在楼梯末端立定脚步回望了一他一眼，面无表情，然后伸手将转角处的水晶花瓶扫到了地上。 那花瓶沉重，盛满了水，还插着大捧百合，这时整个地跌碎在大理石的阶梯上，水花四溅，花瓣凋零，千百片尖锐的水晶棱角折射出冰冷的光，和她的眼神一样。 被那巨大的响声震住，牛振声猛地收住脚步。 隔着四处横流的水和一地碎片，对面就是他的小妻子，他爱的女人，他在她身上用了最大的热情，等她长大，给她婚姻，供她奢华生活，他至今都不觉得自己的爱已经消失，他仍觉得她是当年的那个小女孩，愿意照顾她一生一世。 但他老了，真的想要一个孩子，认识青青是在生意场上，他那时已经半醉，对她说的第一句话是“你长得有点像我太太的好朋友。”原以为只是酒后一场荒唐，没想到一个月后，她对他说自己有了。 他只想等孩子出生，确定是自己的之后便收养下来，但是钱多多的出现让他措手不及。思前想后，与其让第三个人告诉依依，还不如自己说了，没想到她现在用看陌生人的眼神看自己，眼底甚至还有厌恶和抗拒，突然感觉颓败，再不想解释，牛振声转身便往外走。 看着他的背影消失在大门外，然后是车子发动和离开的声音，她独自立在原地，感觉自己身边一切的华丽背景全是一片废墟。 再不想在这个地方多待一秒钟，她抓起车钥匙就往外走，张阿姨追出来的时候，她已经用力踩下油门，转眼就把那熟悉的大宅远远抛到脑后。 一路疾驰到那栋大厦，笔直冲到那个她仅仅到过一次的顶层办公室，也许是她的表情太可怕，一路上居然没有人阻拦，敲门的时候里面应声而开，他正在与人谈话，许是已经接到通报，表情并不诧异，只是让办公室里目瞪口呆的其他人出去，然后带头她离开。 耳边只有自己丈夫离去前最后的声音：“她怀孕了，我就是想让她生下来，生下来，生下来……” 感觉自己快要爆炸，她想的并不是接下来该做些什么，她只想抓住任何一个可以伤害他的理由。这么多年来，她与寂寞同行，坚持自己的选择，扮演好自己的角色，她甚至不期待自己的丈夫会永远像最初那样爱着自己，她要的只是能够维持现在的生活，衣食无忧地过下去，过下去，就已经心满意足。没想到一步一步，不知不觉，一转眼之间，这条路已经走到山穷水尽！ 最好的酒店，最好的房间，一进房就被他用力拥抱，记忆中的蜜糖香铺天盖地。而她用力回应，主动撕扯他的衣服，一直到他意乱情迷地叫着她的名字，俯下身来，最后亲吻到的是她疯狂涌出的泪水。 她哭了，在决心要报复自己丈夫的最后一秒钟，在心心念念等待了她多年的男人的身体下，在她自以为这辈子唯一近似爱过的男人怀里，嚎啕大哭，心碎的样子好像一个知道自己永远都不能再回家的小女孩。 一切动作终止在她的哭声里，无以为继，后来他们在宽大无边的床上静静躺了许久，她不说话，他也不催促，最后结束这一切的就是钱多多的来电。 “依依，你还好吗？”看着自己最好的朋友在面前沉默垂泪，钱多多一脸担忧。 想忘记，不想重复那一切，有些话，有些事情，适合烂在心底，掩盖起来，就连自己都再不想起。 她用双手合住脸轻轻摇头：“多多，我就是想哭一下，哭一下就好了。” 这一夜她们俩谁都没有去动桌上的食物，时间过得点滴漫长，依依的手机铃声响了又响，她无动于衷，钱多多也不敢去接，最后响起来的是她自己的电话，迟疑了一下她最后拿起来接听，妈妈的声音很奇怪：“多多啊，刚才依依家的司机打电话来啊，说联系不到依依，又问我你在哪里？” “啊？他不是知道地方？”钱多多一愣，转眼看到依依已经走到阳台上，吓了一跳，她匆匆搁下电话跟过去，顺着依依的眼光低头，正看到牛振声从车里下来，仰着头朝上。 钱多多买的公寓在第九层，隔着这么远的距离，牛振声显得很渺小，不知道他看到了什么，就是那样立着不动弹。 依依也不动，钱多多不知道说什么才好，半响突然听到她问自己：“多多，我要下去吗？” 这叫她怎么回答？钱多多沉默了几秒钟。 依依并没有看她，仍是直直盯着楼下的那一点，眼眶突然被泪水笼罩，声音颤抖，“你说，我怎么下去？” 被吓到了，钱多多一把抓住她的手，“依依，别乱来。” 她不回答，楼下的那一点开始移动，迈步往楼里走，而依依终于收回目光望向她，慢慢用手背去擦眼泪，孩子气的动作，好像回到了小时候。 擦完她又一笑，脸上表情奇迹般地恢复了镇定，抽出被钱多多抓住的另一只手，自己往大门走去。 她已经走到门边，路过沙发的时候还不忘记提起自己的包，手放在门把手上回头一笑，“谢谢，多多，我知道该怎么办。” 想问她“那你要怎么？”来不及说话，门已经被她打开，依依走出去的时候背影绝然，电梯门开了，灯光苍白一片，照得依依好像雪雕一样，想冲过去拉住她，又不知道拉住她自己又能做什么，钱多多立在门口全身僵硬，眼睁睁地看着电梯门缓缓合上，数字跳动，一路往下去了。 第一次被那红色跳动的数字刺痛眼睛，钱多多退步进屋里，站不住，她一转身又跑到阳台上。 九楼，夜色沉沉，她视线模糊，但仍是看到依依，正与牛振声一同走出大楼，上车的时候牛振声去拉门，她定了定身子，终于一低头坐了进去。 从未像这一刻那样感觉无力，仿佛有一桶凉水从头浇了下来，钱多多牙关打战，怎么都动不了，眼睁睁看着那黑色的大车消失在小区门外，她最后双肩颓然一落，慢慢闭上了眼睛。
