Chapter 72 You Just Take One Step

brother boa
This title is no different from the memories that appeared in my mind when I held this jade pendant.

Could these be memories from my childhood?
If you are that little girl, and the person who took the little girl away is the master.

So, shouldn't the master know about those things that may be forgotten by me?

"Lanlan, Lanlan, what's wrong with you?"

Si Hongcai looked at her pale face, with cold sweat on her forehead, and her complexion was painful, as if she had fallen into some kind of abyss from which she could not escape.

His gaze turned to the jade pendant she was holding tightly in her hand: Could it be that there is something weird about this thing?
But my father and I have both touched it before and found nothing unusual.

"Lan Lan, I'll take you to the hospital!" Si Hongcai said anxiously.

I was too tired to think about it.

The voices rang in his ears from time to time, and Si Lan regained consciousness from unknown memories and contemplation.

She looked at Yupei and was silent for nearly half a minute, then asked: "I heard that I am from the Si family when I was four years old, where did you find me?"

"We'll talk about this later." Si Hongcai said, "There was something wrong with you just now, I'll take you to the hospital first."

Si Lan: "I'm fine."

She pulled a wet tissue and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Please tell me what happened."

Seeing her persistence, Si Hongcai said helplessly:

"Actually, I don't know the details. It was my father who brought you back, and he said that he will raise you as my own daughter in the future. As for the other things, he didn't disclose."

Si Lan: "Since I'm not the biological son of the Si family, why did you give me so many shares?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Si Hongcai did not intend to hide anything, and told everything he knew——

At that time, the Si family was facing the crisis of bankruptcy, and there was nowhere to ask for help. When he was disheartened, a man took the initiative to find his boss, Zhengde.

He said that he could bring the Si family back to life, but he needed the Si family to help him raise a child, and he could not reveal the identity of the child, otherwise it would lead to death.

After much deliberation, Si Zhengde agreed to the deal, and brought the child that the man called, that is, Si Lan, back home.

The man didn't break his promise. In half a year, he not only saved the Si family who was on the verge of bankruptcy, but also made the Si family a top-notch wealthy family in C city.

Si Zhengde was shocked by this astonishing speed of development, and he didn't dare to neglect Si Lan.

So after some consideration, 30.00% of the company controlled by the chairman was divided into Si Lan's name, so as to provide her with basic protection in case of any accidents in the future.

After telling the general situation, Si Hong looked at Si Lan guiltily:

"At the beginning, I knew that Tianwei and the others had opinions on you, so I didn't dare to show my kindness to you, for fear that they would think I was partial. I didn't expect that it was my indifference that hurt you."

Si Lan didn't take his guilt and repentance seriously.

She stood up and said, "I have achieved my purpose of coming here today, so I will leave first."

He took a few steps, stopped, and half turned around: "I don't want the company's shares, and I will have no relationship with the Si family in the future."

Leaving words, people have left.

The man's request was that the Si family would support her, and he would bring the Si family back to life. This was a deal.

And the past is right and wrong, and it is not clear who owes whom, so let it be.

From now on, well water will not violate river water.

If someone doesn't know what is good or bad, they will never be soft.

Without the confinement of identity, it will be much more convenient to clean up, and the feeling of guilt in my heart will no longer be there.

Back in the car, Li Xuyao ​​saw that her expression was not right, and immediately frowned: "What's wrong? Are you being bullied?"

Si Lan shook his head: "No."

Leaning on the seat wearily, he said, "Go back."

Li Xuyao ​​straightened his lips, and said in a low voice:

"You have just been discharged from the hospital, and your body is still weak. If you are tired, you can lean on and sleep for a while. I will call you when you arrive."

"Okay." Si Lan responded in a low voice.

Afterwards, soothing music was played in the car.

Ten minutes later, Li Xuyao ​​saw that the woman beside him had fallen asleep.

The weather was still hot, and the air conditioner was turned on in the car. Worried that she might catch a cold, she leaned the car aside, covered her with a coat, and then started the car again.

On the way home, he glanced sideways at her from time to time.

I've seen her call her brother softly after drinking;
I've seen her pull herself to call A Yao after drinking;

I have seen her cold appearance in daily life;
seen her wounded;

I've seen her fierce and bloody
But I've never seen her look so tired.

What happened in Si's house?

My heart is full of doubts, and no one can give an answer.

The car stopped outside the seventh building of Chengyuan, seeing the person beside him sleeping soundly, he couldn't bear to wake him up.

Just leaning back on the seat, staring at her sideways.

When she was asleep, she looked like a well-behaved pet.

The hand involuntarily wanted to reach out, and finally stayed in mid-air for a moment, then retracted.

On a summer night, the starry sky is shining, the breeze is blowing, and the flowers and trees are rustling.

Si Lan opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the sky full of stars, which was absolutely beautiful.

For a moment, she didn't know where she was, and her cold eyes were filled with mist.

This is where?

After a few seconds of delay, he turned his head and saw a sleeping face with perfect facial features.

Li Xuyao.
His thoughts came back, and he realized that they were in the car.

After coming out of Si's house, I wanted to lean on for a while, but I didn't expect to lean on until it was dark.

Perhaps the night scene tonight is beautiful enough to make people forget their worries; perhaps it is because they have slept and calmed down; perhaps it is the handsome face of the person beside them that calms the restlessness in the heart.

Always, no matter what the reason is, my heart at this moment is extremely peaceful.

She looked at the person beside her in a daze, and couldn't help sighing: This man is really good-looking.

Over the years, he has been to many places at home and abroad, but he has never met such a good-looking person.

Li Xuyao ​​was in a light sleep, and when he was stared at by such a pair of burning eyes, he seemed to feel something, and opened his eyes suddenly.

A pair of cold peach blossom eyes met the cold phoenix pupils.

Si Lan wasn't as shy as being caught, she said calmly, "Are you awake?"

Li Xuyao ​​was stunned for a moment, put away the stern look in his eyes, and turned gentle and affectionate:

"How long have you been awake? Why didn't you call me?"

"Then why didn't you call me?" Si Lan asked back.

Li Xuyao ​​replied subconsciously: "Seeing that you are a bit tired, I want you to sleep a little longer."

Si Lan bent his lips: "Same reason."

Li Xuyao ​​smiled.

He moved his body twice and said, "Go back and eat."

"En." Si Lan responded and opened the car door.

Seeing that the man didn't move, she asked, "Aren't you going to get out of the car?"

Li Xuyao ​​looked at her suspiciously: "Huh?"

"Is anyone in your family cooking?" Si Lan asked.

Li Xuyao ​​was stunned for two seconds, and replied truthfully: "I'll find out when I go back and have a look."

Si Lan: "Come to my house to eat."

Li Xuyao ​​immediately agreed: "Okay."

He opened the car door neatly.

The two walked in side by side, under the starry sky, the moonlight was bright, stretching the figure infinitely.

"Miss, you are finally back." Wu Ma said excitedly when she saw someone.

Si Lan was puzzled: "What's the matter? What happened?"

Wu Ma: "Master Fu said that you have already completed the discharge procedures, but you have not arrived home. I am worried. I have called you many times, but no one answered."

Only then did Si Lan take out the phone, and when she saw the red missed call, she pursed her lips slightly: "Sorry, I turned the volume down."

In order to avoid external worries, she adjusted it casually before going to bed.

"It's good that people are fine." Mama Wu still had something to say, but seeing that there were outsiders, she asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Si Lan: "Not yet, Mama Wu, just get us something to eat."

"Okay." Wu Ma looked at Li Xuyao, "Does this gentleman have any dishes that should not be eaten?"

Li Xuyao: "No, just follow your lady's taste."

Wu Ma: "Then you wait for a while, it will be ready soon."

After explaining a few words, he walked to the kitchen.

With nothing to do, Si Lan asked, "Would you like to take a look at the backyard?"

"Yes." Li Xuyao ​​said.

Si Lan led him to the backyard.

The backyard has a large area. In addition to an outdoor swimming pool, there is also a large garden.

The two sat down on the deck chairs by the pool.

There is a small table apart, all looking at the starry sky.

The wind is blowing, the ink hair is floating freely, enjoying a peaceful life.

"I heard what Holly Jane said to you that day." Li Xuyao ​​suddenly said.

Si Lan kept his posture and said calmly, "I know, I saw you coming and I saw you go."

"."

This surprised Li Xuyao ​​for a while before he realized it.

I am really smart all my life, and I am confused for a while.

"Did you see it from the window?"

Si Lan: "Yes."

"So what you said." Li Xuyao ​​said uncertainly.

Si Lan: "That's all true."

She turned her head and looked over:

"Li Xuyao, I am not a little white rabbit who only hides behind people and is protected by others. There is no family strong enough behind me to help you, but if you want to do something, I can have myself way to help you."

Li Xuyao ​​was silent for a while, then asked softly, "Is it because of what she said?"

"Yes, but not all of them." Si Lan withdrew his gaze, looked towards the sky, and murmured, "Over the years, I have encountered many things, and I will subconsciously avoid them when dealing with feelings.

"The previous refusal was due to Xiaobao's safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, I flinched and didn't dare to take that step forward."

"Actually, it doesn't matter." Li Xuyao ​​said, "As long as you have me in your heart, this is more important than anything else. You only need to take one step, and I will walk towards you for the rest of the way."

His voice was very soft and weak, and it even quickly disappeared with the breeze blowing, but it still left an imprint on Si Lan's heart.

Not long after, Mama Wu came out and asked the two of them to have dinner.

After eating, we walked in the back garden for a while.

Because I ate late tonight, I couldn't sleep well, so I digested my food.

Si Lan mentioned it, so Li Xuyao ​​naturally couldn't refuse.

It was already eleven o'clock when he returned home.

Hearing the noise, Holly Jane greeted her with a smiling face: "Are you back?"

Li Xuyao's face darkened immediately: "Why are you here?"

Thinking of something, he shouted: "Li Xingyan, get out!"

"He's not here," said Holly Jane. "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

"No need." Li Xuyao ​​said coldly, "Whoever asked you to come, let someone take you away!"

"Xu Yao." Holly Zhen called him, the smile on her face remained undiminished, and her eyes were covered with tears, "Do you have to be so heartless?

"I promised you that I would never go to Miss Si again, nor would I become an obstacle between you. But why can't you keep your eyes on me? Even if it's not love, friendship is fine."

"I just want to get closer to you." She paused for a moment, "I didn't have any malice towards Miss Si, when I went to her, I told the truth, and I didn't make up anything malicious.

"I just want her to understand your situation and just want to help you."

Li Xuyao ​​didn't turn around, just remained silent for a few seconds, and said:
"You told me about that in time. I am very grateful. I owe you a favor. I can do one thing for you within the scope of my acceptance."

At the end of the sentence, he went upstairs.

Looking at the disappearing figure, Holly Jane froze and did not move.

To be able to come here, she got it by making a deal with Li Xingyan with that matter.

Full of joy, I wanted to make dinner for him, but I saw his car waiting outside Qidong, and they got out of the car together when it was dark.

Saw them sitting by the pool talking together, saw them walking in the back garden together after dinner.

And the meals prepared at home range from hot to cold.

She originally thought that Li Xuyao ​​would never really like any woman in his life, and her identity was the most suitable for him.

However, who would have imagined that such a day would come?

He walked towards the dining room with heavy steps, and dumped everything on the table into the trash can.

The whole afternoon's hard work was thrown away as garbage, and my heart seemed to be pierced, bloody, and painful.
-
After taking a shower, Si Lan's hair was blown until it was half dry, and she sat on the bed, holding the jade pendant brought back from the Si's house and watching.

Except for other memories that flooded into my mind when I touched this thing for the first time, there was no abnormality at other times.

Recalling that memory, she fell into deep thought.

The pictures in memory don't seem to be in modern times, but they don't seem to be in ancient times either.

Did the bloody scene in the back have been wiped out?

Is there a secret hidden in this piece of jade?

Si Hongcai said that the person who handed himself over to the Si family had warned that revealing his identity would lead to death.

What is my identity?
Will the master be the one who knows all the facts?
Mysteries came one after another, like falling into a foggy forest.

It's not living in ancient times. In this country ruled by law, what kind of identity will lead to murder?
The narration she heard from Si Hongcai, coupled with her own strangeness, made her even more suspicious of what was hidden behind this jade pendant.

It seems that the shooting should be completed as soon as possible, and then go back to Europe to ask the master in person.
