The CEO cheated on his wife

At night, the Lan Family Villa.

Yan Chu was invited here for the third time, but every time he came here, his mood became heavier and different.

Lan Shimo was sitting on the sofa in the study, shaking the ice cubes in the wine glass with one hand, and reading the documents with the other.

His side face is both feminine and pale, and under the rendering of the crystal lamp, it looks a little strange.

Seeing Yan Chu coming in, he asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Think clearly." Yan Chu sat down without any haste, looked at Lan Shimo, and said calmly: "This time, it was indeed my negligence, I took it lightly, I should have done it the moment you appeared Prepare vigilantly. In this way, my parents will not be used by you to buy that piece of land that cannot be constructed."

Everyone in the business world is aware of the Lan family's recent large-scale purchase of land in the capital.The Lan family has some backgrounds, some contacts, and government-government connections. It is not difficult to make a big splash in the real estate industry.

Soon, rumors spread that Lan Shimo had obtained several pieces of land with excellent locations from the government.

One of the pieces of land, Lan Shimo used some means to secretly negotiate with Yan Chu's parents, signed a contract, and bought it at a high price of nine figures.

It was originally a business that was sure to make money without losing money, but when Yan Chu's parents contacted the contractor and paid the down payment for construction on the land, the government suddenly changed their minds.

The land was not taken back, but Yan Chu's parents were not allowed to build on the land, saying that the policy and policy had changed, and they were not allowed to build!

As for when this policy will be changed back, there is no certainty, maybe a few months, maybe a few years, or maybe longer.

Anyway, this land can only be abandoned!

Yan Chu's parents invested such a large amount of money, and it was all in vain overnight, and the two elders almost had a heart attack.They also tried their best to get involved, but it was useless!

Looking for Lan Shimo, in the end, he said: What does it matter to him?

If the land is sold to you, it’s yours, and he doesn’t care if you can use it or not!

Although Yan Chu's parents were greedy and confused for a while, they were not fools.Lan Shimo bought so many lands, but none of them had any accidents, so why did only theirs have an accident?

Isn't this a well-planned game, waiting for them to jump into the fire pit? !

But, even if he knew he was framed by Lan Shimo, so what?

Although the Yan family can be regarded as a big businessman in the capital, how can it compare to the Lan family, one of the three big chaebols?

Needless to say, they had no choice but to endure this bad breath, swallow it, and hold it until they died!

But now, the Yan family is not facing the problem of whether they can swallow this bad breath, but the problem of going bankrupt soon!

In this gamble, Yan Chu's parents borrowed a lot of money from the bank and put all the company's liquidity on it. In the end, they lost a lot!

Now, nothing saves them except money!

Lan Shimo took a sip of ice wine, looked at Yan Chu, and smiled: "Is this what you want to think clearly? You should understand that this is not the answer I want."

"What answer do you want? Do you want me to sell Qin's internal information to you? Or do you want me to betray Qin Lan? But I can't do both. First of all, I can't get Qin's internal information. Secondly, Qin Lan is my wife, and I can't do it yet, to the point where I have to sell my wife to survive."

Even in the current situation, Yan Chu is still Yan Chu, he is seldom anxious or angry.

He gave people the feeling that he would always be like this, gentle as jade and personable.

He has his own pride, always has.

But these, in Lan Shimo's eyes, are superfluous, the last thing a businessman needs is such arrogance.

"I thought you didn't love Qin Lan." After shaking the wine glass and hearing the sound of ice cubes colliding, Lan Shimo felt very refreshed.

Yan Chu does not deny this, but——

"I don't love her, but it doesn't mean that I can betray her despicably. I don't like this feeling."

Some people's principles cannot be changed. Asking him to change is like asking him to die.

Therefore, Qiao Xi said before that Yan Chu is not suitable to be a businessman.

Yan Chu also felt that he was not suitable, but it turned out that he was really not suitable.

However, he had to wallow in this deceitful shopping mall, and he also had to do some things against his will, put on a hypocritical face, and flatter him.

"Young Master Yan, it's not good to be too lofty, you will kill yourself." Lan Shimo said with a wanton smile, telling the truth.

He didn't think that Yan Chu's high-mindedness could last long.In this world, there is nothing more terrifying than being penniless and in debt.

He believed that soon Yan Chu would admit defeat and bow his head.For his parents, he had to bow down.

"Or, you can think about begging me. If you kneel down and beg me, I might be able to temporarily give up revenge on Qin Lan and let you go." Lan Shimo deliberately made a condition that sounded quite attractive.

He couldn't wait to see Yan Chu bow his head one day, because Yan Chu's character was a little like Bai Xiaofan's, with the same arrogance and arrogance.

This kind of person is so dazzling by nature, even the gloomy him wants to destroy it!

Yan Chu laughed, and laughed out loud, very lightly, as if mocking Lan Shimo's disability.

"If you really wanted to let me go, you wouldn't do so many things to persecute us. You first gave the bank the wind, and then put pressure on the creditors. Now, everyone who comes to you is You want to collect debts from us. You have no intention of letting me go, you want to force me to death, or let me force Qin Lan to death. "

After being pointed out face to face, Lan Shimo had a face of disapproval for the small actions he had done in private, and in the business talk business——

"Don't make me sound like a heinous villain. This is the rule of the mall. You lost money and owed debts, and the company's capital turnover is not working. Who is to blame? I can only say that your parents are too short-sighted. gone."

He added: "However, you really impress me. I thought you were just a young man who knew nothing but only knew how to eat, drink, have fun and enjoy life. But, I didn't expect that you are quite capable. You can still stand up, keep this matter hidden, and not leak much information. Not bad!"

Lan Shimo added another glass of wine, and asked knowingly: "But how long can you last? Do you have a solution to this problem?"

He knew that Yan Chu had no solution, otherwise, there would be no need to delay this matter!

"Taught." Yan Chu said lightly.Hand, unconsciously caressing a bracelet on his left hand.

The red bracelet was given to him by Qiao Xi in his birth year.After that, they broke up.

Touching the bracelet, Yan Chuning's brows seemed to relax a little, and he said, "I believe that there will always be a solution to the problem."

Immediately, Lan Shimo narrowed his eyes, and his pale face turned cold, he didn't like the feeling of being underestimated!

"Is it because you are too optimistic and underestimate me, Lan Shimo?"

"We'll just wait and see."

Yan Chu picked up the glass of iced wine on the table, drank it in one gulp, then nodded to Lan Shimo, and left.

After Yan Chu left, Lan Shimo broke the crystal wine glass with one hand, and said viciously, "I don't believe you can turn over!"

***

Yan family mansion.

It was another quarrel every day and night. Ever since the accident happened on that land, apart from quarreling, Yan Chu's parents have been shirking each other's responsibilities.

The wall is falling and everyone is pushing, and the precarious wall is only supported by illusions. Perhaps, they also think that their good days are coming to an end.

Outside the study door, Yan Chu was about to open the door and go in, but he heard abusive voices from inside, it was his parents——

"At the beginning, if you hadn't easily listened to Lan Shimo's instigation, how could I have agreed with you to sign the contract! When you heard that you could cooperate with the Lan family, you were overwhelmed with pride. You don't have to think about it, how could others see it? You deserve a small business like yours. Now you have been played by someone, and you have lost all your money!"

"Noisy, noisy, you will only be noisy! I told you to go to Qin Lan's natal house and walk around a lot. Did you go? What did her parents say, promise to lend us money?"

"Her two parents are really good people. I'll say it anyway. They are only willing to borrow a small amount like a few million, tens of millions? Don't even think about it. Besides, they seem to have heard some rumors recently. I'm afraid, They want to know that our family is dying, and want Qin Lan to divorce our family Chuer!"

"This group of people are scumbags who write about profits and forget righteousness. They cling to you when you are prosperous, and they all rush to kick you away when you are in trouble! I want to survive this test, and I will never let it go. These people who hit me hard today!"

The sound of glass breaking was accompanied by the rough voice of Yan Chu's father, and then the crying of Yan Chu's mother.

Chaos, chaos, mess!

For a moment, Yan Chu really wanted to escape from everything in this family!

"Let me tell you, if you really go bankrupt, I won't suffer with you, I... I will take Chu'er to remarry at that time!"

"You bitch!"

Finally, Yan Chu opened the door and went in, just in time to see his father slap his mother across the face, and then, his mother fell to the ground, the back of her hand was pierced with broken glass, crying and screaming in pain.

Yan Chu looked at it numbly, and said numbly: "Sometimes, I really can't believe that you are my parents."

"Chu'er..."

"How much money is left, let's say it once, so that I can figure it out in my heart." Yan Chu said expressionlessly.

Yan Chu's father thought about it for a while, but he didn't dare to say the number, but said: "Chu'er...you can go to Qiao Xi and try it out. The number of our shortfall is not something you can settle alone. You see, Qiao Xi is married so well, it is rumored that Bai Xiaofan loves her, you...you go to her and talk to her about money, she will definitely help you!"

Yan Chu's face turned cold, and he, who was not easy to get angry, clenched his fists: "Isn't it enough to sell my happiness in life? Now, do you even want to exchange my dignity for money?"

As soon as Qiao Xi was mentioned, Yan Chu's mother seemed to have seen the dawn, she didn't care about the pain on her face, and quickly joined in her persuasion: "No...Chu'er. Just help parents this time, we really have nowhere to go this time Yes. As long as you let us get through this difficulty, your parents will listen to you for everything in the future. You can do whatever you want, and you can like whoever you like, and your parents will not restrain you. "

Who is Qiao Xi?

Qiao Xi is Bai Xiaofan's wife!Bai Xiaofan's treasure!

If she agrees to help them, it means that Bai Xiaofan will help them!

"I won't ask Xiaoxi to borrow money, but I have a way to help you pay off the money."

Yan Chu looked at the two haggard and aged middle-aged people in front of him, not as if he was looking at his own parents, but as if he was looking at two strangers, and his heart was chilling.

"What... how?"

"You don't need to worry about it, but... this method can only be used once, and I can only help you once. From now on, please control your greed and don't get involved with Lan Shimo again. From now on, I I won't care about you anymore, you can live as you want, don't drag me into it!"

Yan Chu didn't want to stay in this place, this mansion, this study room any longer, he turned around and left without looking at his parents again.

Now, the only support of Yan Chu's mother is her son. When she saw Yan Chu's hateful eyes, she panicked inexplicably.

She felt that Yan Chu would never come back again!

She grabbed Yan Chu's hand and asked him crying: "Chu'er...you, where are you going..."

Yan Chu didn't move, and didn't shake off his hand, his handsome face was indifferent: "I want to go back to my own home, this is not my home."

"Chu'er, I know...I know that you hate us and hate us for breaking up you and Qiao Xi back then. Just forgive us for once. At that time...at that time, your father and I were also confused for a while, thinking about what to do for you. Hello, I never thought you would be so unhappy."

Yan Chu pulled his lips, smiled, forgive, forgive, forgive again!

They always said these two words the most. They obviously didn't really think that they had done something wrong, but they kept asking him to forgive.

"Mom, do you know? What you ruined is not one of my happiness, but my whole life. Perhaps, I was born to pay you back."

After finishing speaking, Yan Chu couldn't control it anymore, and broke away Yan Chu's mother's hand inch by inch, and then left without looking back.

***

When Yan Chu returned to his home again, it was already very late, past three o'clock in the morning.

He lives with Qin Lan, not with his parents.Although the two of them are called husband and wife, they are usually busy with their own affairs.

When he goes home, he doesn't see her often.The same goes for her, sometimes, even once or twice a month.

Everyone's relationship between husband and wife is actually very weak.

Therefore, Yan Chu sometimes thought, if he could be meaner, he would betray Qin Lan to Lan Shimo.

It's a pity that he still lacks the fire, and he is still close.But just this little bit is enough to make his head burn!

After entering the gate of the house, Yan Chu did not expect to see Qin Lan as soon as he reached the hall.She was sitting on the small bar, taking a sip of wine.

As if waiting for his door.

Putting down his glass heavily, Qin Lan glanced at him and asked, "You've been coming back late recently."

Yan Chu had nothing to say, and said indifferently, "Is there something wrong?"

Qin Lan asked him instead: "I should ask you this question. What happened to you recently? I heard that your family seems to have failed in their investment and lost a lot of money?"

"You are very well informed." A sternness flashed across Yan Chu's face, but it quickly disappeared, still warm and indifferent: "Are you asking me these words, or did your parents ask you to ask me?"

"Me." Qin Lan said, but added: "And my parents."

"Then I have nothing to say."

Yan Chu was very tired and didn't want to spend any more time dealing with Qin Lan.He pulled the tie off his neck and took a breath.Then, go to the room, open the closet, and find a change of clothes.

Behind him, hugged by a soft body, Qin Lan sniffed the smell of his body, and then said in satisfaction: "Very good, only the smell of wine."

Yan Chu let go of Qin Lan's hand holding her, and asked indifferently, "Otherwise, what else would it smell like?"

"I'm looking for a woman's taste, but you don't have it, and I can trust you. You are not the kind of man who likes to play with women outside."

As she spoke, Qin Lan slowly stood on tiptoe, and her red lips full of allure moved closer to Yan Chu's mouth.But at the moment when they were about to kiss each other, he turned his head away and avoided——

"I'm not in the mood."

***

When he went to work the next day, Bai Xiaofan really wore the pin that Qiao Xi gave him.

As for the suit that Fang Lanqiu gave him, he didn't wear it, probably the young master completely forgot about it.

Therefore, before going out, Fang Lanqiu looked at Bai Xiaofan a few more times, and then laughed and patted Qiao Xi on the shoulder, saying that she has really good eyesight, and that this pin is very beautifully chosen.

After hearing this, Bai Xiaofan was already in a good mood, and suddenly became even better. He held Qiao Xi's hand and walked with the wind, feeling extremely proud!

Qiao Xi is not surprised, this pin is not particularly expensive, is it really so beautiful?

However, she saw that Bai Xiaofan seemed to really like it, and suddenly felt that the more than 1000 silver was worth spending.

Fang Lanqiu also came to the company with them. She came back from the United States this time, and she was supposed to be transferred to Bai Xiaofan's company to assist him.

Therefore, he took office directly, externally as the general manager of the marketing department, internally as Bai Xiaofan's left hand, and internally as Zhang Yi's right hand.

The so-called, the new official took office three fires, Fang Lanqiu undoubtedly had five fires on his head.Because, she is beside Bai Xiaofan, the second woman who can get close to him.

Qiao Xi was the first one, and later, she became the president's wife.

As for this Fang Lanqiu, everyone in the company is suspicious of her identity.

I heard that Fang Lanqiu is an elite in the top management of the group headquarters.

I also heard that Fang Lanqiu and Bai Xiaofan lived together in the United States for a year.

It was also heard that Fang Lanqiu was personally hand-picked by the chairman of the group, her status was highly valued, and everyone had to call her "Sister Qiu".

Ever since the case of Qiao Xi's counterattack, now, the senior executives in the company dare not underestimate the woman beside Bai Xiaofan.

Because these women may become a blockbuster anytime and anywhere, maybe Fang Lanqiu will become Bai Xiaofan's new love tomorrow.

Anyway, with such a passionate, mature and charming woman by his side, which man can resist stealing?

It's strange if you don't steal!

However, having said that, Fang Lanqiu is not a woman with empty skins. She is very smart and intelligent. She is straightforward, forthright, capable, and has excellent communication skills. It is hard for people not to like her.

On the first day of taking office, he gave both kindness and strength, first setting out mission goals for his department's subordinates, and then listing generous rewards for those who achieved the goals.After get off work, they were not asked to work overtime. They directly invited the whole company to a banquet and went to the bar to have fun.

This unconstrained but powerful way of getting along made Fang Lanqiu soon become one with colleagues from all over the company.

Even Qiao Xi, who arrived long before her, was even more reassuring. Everyone warmly and convincedly called her Miss Qiu.

Sometimes, Qiao Xi really admired Fang Lanqiu. She had been in the company for a long time, but she couldn't get to know her colleagues well. Except for Shang Jing, she didn't make any real friends.

Although on the surface, everyone treated her kindly, but Qiao Xi knew that in their hearts they didn't really admire her.He even thought that she had no strength, but was lucky enough to rely on Bai Xiaofan.

Before, Qiao Xi deliberately didn't care about how others looked at her.

but!

Ever since Fang Lanqiu came, Qiao Xi felt more and more powerless.

The way her colleagues looked at her became more and more strange. There was a thorn in the strangeness, and it was a little sharp. There was a feeling of waiting to watch a show, which made her unable to ignore it.

Like now-

It is said that the company's women's restroom is the best place for women to gossip. Before, Qiao Xi didn't believe it, but now, she believes it.

Because at this moment, she is sitting in the single room of the toilet, sitting on the gleaming toilet seat, playing with her mobile phone with her head down, listening to gossip...

Several female colleagues outside the door were chattering and taunting the heroine, and that heroine was her.

It's a pity that she, who is a rare heroine, is a character that people hate.

"How long do you think Qiao Xi can be proud? I don't think her marriage with the CEO will last long, and she will score points sooner or later!"

"I think so too. If I were the CEO, I'd choose Miss Qiu. Choose Qiao Xi? Tch, that's blind! Look at her, she wears long-sleeved clothes all year round. I've never seen her show off before." Arm, as if you are so precious, old-fashioned!"

Qiao Xi looked down at her long dress. The long sleeves of tulle just covered the terrifying scar on her arm.

She doesn't show it because she can't.If you reveal it, I'm afraid it will scare them away.

"Yeah, I wonder if she is autistic. Now, how can anyone have such long hair like her? Do I think of myself as an ancient person, or what? Every time I see her With long hair, I get goosebumps all over my body.”

With Qiao Xi's slender fingers, she curled her waist-length hair absent-mindedly, complaining to Bai Xiaofan in her heart.

It's all his fault, he didn't let her curl her hair, and she didn't let her cut it, look, now she's being made a joke of!

"Hehe, anyway, such a woman can't handle a man. I think, since Sister Qiu came, the president and her have gotten very close. If Sister Qiu becomes the wife of the president, I will be convinced. She has a lot of experience, she has a good demeanor, but she is a little older, but now sister and brother love is popular, she and the president's aura match well, what a good couple!"

"Don't tell me, we've heard that Sister Qiu lived with the CEO for a whole year before, maybe they already had that. Now, the old relationship is probably rekindled."

"Let's just wait and watch the show, and make a bet, the position of the hostess will be replaced soon!"

Qiao Xi looked up at the colorful lights, and suddenly felt that her stomach hurts, and she really needed a cup of hot tea to soothe her nerves.

She was thinking, should she open the door and go out?After going out, look coldly at their panicked reactions?Then, slap them?Then, let them pack up and leave?

Heh, if someone tells her right and wrong behind her back, she will let that person go.It is estimated that everyone in the company has to leave, because few like her.

Qiao Xi suddenly felt very sad. Is this the isolation in the workplace?

In fact, there was no one to blame but herself, who didn't understand anything and couldn't get along well.

He deserves to be cast aside!They deserve to be isolated!

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Xi closed her eyes, and decided to let this matter go quietly, not wanting to embarrass anyone, let them finish talking, talk enough, and then go out after they leave.

But at this time, the phone rang, and the sweet and sad ringtone was He Jie's "The More You Hurt, the More You Love".

Immediately, the singing echoed through the entire bathroom, and it was Bai Xiaofan who called!

To be honest, Qiao Xi was really going to annoy him to death, so she decisively hung up his call!

Then, slowly pushing open the toilet door, what she saw was——

Those few female colleagues who were noisy just now fell silent in an instant, their faces turned from red to white and then blue, and they were still trembling. It could be seen that they were suffering from suffocation.

Qiao Xi thought, in the future, she will add another crime in their minds, a disgusting heroine, and a bad woman who hides in a corner and eavesdrops.

Those female colleagues trembled and wanted to explain, but Qiao Xi looked at them as if she would faint from fear at any time.He just waved his hand and stopped them from talking.

But in the end, Qiao Xi's action made them even more uneasy, thinking that she was putting on airs as the president's wife!

Qiao Xi didn't understand what they were thinking, she thought, before she cultivated to become a spirit, she didn't understand these for a while.

So, she washed her hands calmly, took out the tissue and wiped her hands calmly, and then said calmly: "The reason why I wear long-sleeved clothes every day is because of my body. My hair is because he doesn't allow it." I cut it. As for Fang Lanqiu...she used to be my husband's tutor, so they are just a teacher-student relationship."

The few female colleagues were completely silent, and kept their heads low, not daring to breathe, and looked submissive.

Qiao Xi didn't say anything more. She had explained it and finished it. She couldn't control whether they believed it or not.

So, I threw the tissue ball into the trash can and walked out of the bathroom.Conveniently, he took out his mobile phone and called Bai Xiaofan back.

Otherwise, wait a minute, he will come directly to the design department to find her.

As soon as the call was connected, Bai Xiaofan asked, "Why did you hang up on my call just now?"

The tone was heavy, but it didn't mean to accuse, but... Anxious?

"I was in the bathroom just now." Qiao Xi answered honestly, and also heard a gossip of "personal experience".

Qiao Xi seemed to hear Bai Xiaofan snorted, she could probably imagine what he looked like in the office now.

He has a handsome face, coolly holding the phone, but there is a spirit of vigor flying between his brows, his eyes should be dark and bright.

"Let's go have lunch together later."

"No... I, I have an appointment with Ah Jing." Qiao Xi subconsciously rejected Bai Xiaofan.

She lied, she didn't make an appointment, she just didn't want to see Bai Xiaofan for the time being.At least, she won't go to see him until she gets off work today.

He is the big president, he can sit back and relax.But she can't, she is just an ordinary woman, she has to face the public opinion and pressure from her colleagues.

Bai Xiaofan on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help complaining: "You go to eat with that woman every day, are you gay?"

Qiao Xi blinked, and wanted to answer him: aren't you gay?Why don't you go have dinner with Zhang Yi?

Of course, she just thought about it and didn't dare to say it.

After all, he finally coaxed and comforted Young Master Bai, and promised again and again that he would have dinner with him tomorrow, then the call and conversation would end.

Back in the office, Qiao Xi made himself a cup of hot tea, then opened the drawer, took out the stomach medicine, and swallowed it dryly.

Recently, has she been a little stressed and often suffers from stomach pains?

***

lunch time.

Qiao Xi didn't have much appetite, so she planned to find a random place and settle a few bites.

But on the way, she met Yan Chu.She didn't know, was he passing by by coincidence, or... waiting for her on purpose?

Because this neighborhood is not the way he would go to work.

The question in Qiao Xi's heart, the next moment, Yan Chu answered for her: "I came here on a special trip to see you, can we talk about it? Just treat it as being with me."

Yan Chu is here, waiting for Qiao Xi for many days.Because Bai Xiaofan is always by her side, so he can't get in, get in, and can't get in.

Qiao Xi thought that she should refuse, but she had never seen such a Yanchu, such a lonely Yanchu, and she couldn't bear to refuse.

So, just once, just accompany him once, for the last time.

"it is good."

In an instant, Yan Chu's face was full of smiles, and Qiao Xi's long-lost smile appeared on his handsome face, like a spring breeze.

She said it was to accompany Yan Chu, but Qiao Xi felt that they were going back to the past.The road he walked with his back, the road he led her, and the road he walked with her.

Ten years, so long and so far, how many roads they have traveled together, how could they finish and go back in a short time?

The school has changed, but the nearby snack shop is still there.

The fountain in the garden is no longer there, it has been filled, as if a child was drowned before.

Even the tree on which they used to engrave two hearts connected to each other has withered, leaving only a thin trunk.

Only then did I realize that the ten years that belonged to them have really passed away, everything is different, and nothing can go back, including them.

Yan Chu touched the two mottled and blurred hearts on the old tree, and said, "It turns out that not only we have changed, but these things have also changed. I thought we would have so many memories left behind, But looking back now, it’s all gone.”

This feeling of passing away with time and youth is not pleasant.

Qiao Xi also felt a little sad. The good memories of the past have now become so blurred.Reluctant, but powerless.

They can only do this, they can only go here, this is the end of their fate.

Qiao Xi forced a smile and said, "So, we can only move forward, we can't look back, and we can't look at these things anymore. The past is gone, so let's let it go."

Just keep going, you're right!

Yan Chu asked her suddenly: "Xiaoxi, are you happy now?"

Qiao Xi doesn't know if she will be happy, at least for now, she hasn't reached happiness yet.In the future, she doesn't know if she can reach it.

Because, she used to think that the only person who could give her happiness was Yan Chu.

But now, there is nothing clear about it, so who should she turn to for her happiness?

"You will always be happy." That was all she could answer.

Yan Chu shook his head, worried about her: "You are still like this, always in a passive position, never willing to take the initiative. So, how do you catch happiness, how do you catch him?"

he?who?Bai Xiaofan?

Qiao Xi was at a loss: "I..."

Seeing Qiao Xi's flustered appearance, Yan Chu smiled with his lips curled up, a shallow smile as gentle as jade.

He gently stroked Qiao Xi's small face, it was the kind of gentleman's touch, without evil thoughts.

How long has it been since I saw her like this?How long has it been since you touched her cheek?

A long time, a long time, he felt like a century.

"I didn't see the so-called happiness on your face. If you were happy before, you would never show such a confused look. You are like this now, as if you can't find your way home. "

Qiao Xi felt a little relieved when Yan Chu said what was on her mind. At least, she no longer had to pretend that she was happy in front of him.

She's really been a little out of control recently.Obviously, she and Bai Xiaofan neither quarreled nor had a cold war, nor did they have any problems.

But she just... felt that she was superfluous in that family. Compared to Fang Lanqiu, she was really superfluous!

Yan Chu slowly withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes, and covered his gaze: "If you really feel unbearable and unhappy, I hope you can boldly do what you want, and take the initiative to fight for what you want. Don’t look for various reasons and restrain yourself. This world is big, with more than one billion people, there is always someone who is right for you.”

Qiao Xi tilted her head and smiled: "I thought...you would say, if you feel unhappy, I'll come to you, that's it."

Yan Chu said sadly: "No, I won't say anything like this again. You are right, we should all move forward, and we can't look back. So, I know, I can't afford you now. Happiness, no matter how many useless promises you make, they are all empty. But... I'm sorry, Xiao Xi."

Only he knew how painful the heart in his chest was, so painful that it was about to bleed!

"Don't say sorry, I don't like to hear your sorry."

Yes, every time she hears him say sorry, she has the urge to cry...

Yan Chu nodded, understood.Anyway, he knew very well in his heart that he had no time to say sorry for the second time.

One last time, one last day, one last time with her.

"This is the last time I come to you. I will never bother you again. Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you must protect yourself and be strong."

Qiao Xi knew that the broken red line and broken marriage between her and Yan Chu could no longer be connected.

It's time to break, completely break.

However, when she heard that he was really going to break off contact with her completely, she still felt a burst of pain, reluctance, and some indescribable feelings.

She couldn't help asking him: "You... Where are you going?"

Yan Chu shook his head, didn't say anything, just leaned over, hugged Qiao Xi lightly, and then kissed her on the forehead.

If there are two words that seem to be nothing, escape from his mouth: "Goodbye."

He left, let go of her hand, took back the tenderness he had given her, broke off the memories of the past, and left.

The warm sunshine shone on Yan Chuqi's body. For some reason, Qiao Xi always felt uneasy and anxious. She looked at Yan Chu who was drifting away, and couldn't help but call out his name loudly. ——

"Yanchu!!"

Don't know why she stopped him, but she just wanted to... wanted to call his name.

In the past, Yan Chu would definitely stop when he heard it, then turn around and walk towards her with a smile.

But this time, he didn't stop and walked so decisively, just like when he broke up with her back then.

It seemed that he was serious, and really wanted to break up with her completely, never see each other again, and never see each other again.

Gentle and unfeeling, he always performed so perfectly.

It seems that she is the only one who is in pain all the time, that's okay, just break it up, there's nothing to be reluctant about, I've said it all, don't miss the past anymore.

Yan Chu is gone, and so is Qiao Xi. They will never come to that place, the place where their two hearts were engraved.

Then, Yan Chu died.

To our eternal youth!

***

When Qiao Xi received the news of Yan Chu's death, it was the next day not long after.She is holding a large pile of documents, preparing for the next important meeting.

The new car is finally coming out, publicity planning and supply in various places are very important links, and nothing can go wrong.

For these two plans, Qiao Xi was in charge of the planning, and Fang Lanqiu was in charge of the supply.

Under Fang Lanqiu's halo, Qiao Xi was under a lot of pressure, so she had been doing her homework before, so that she wouldn't be nervous and say the wrong thing after the meeting.

However, just as Qiao Xi was about to open the door to enter the meeting room, the phone rang, and she forgot to turn it to silent again.

But she didn't expect that the phone call was actually from Qin Lan. She said that Yan Chu died in a car accident.

Qiao Xi only thought of her as a prank, but this prank was too vicious!

However, Qin Lan didn't play any tricks or lie, Yan Chu really had a car accident.Her hysterical voice seemed to be on the verge of collapse, causing Qiao Xi's heart to sink suddenly, and she didn't know whether to believe her words or not.

really?It must be fake!

Yesterday... She just met Yan Chu yesterday. She is such a great living person, how could she die as soon as she said she would die? It must be a lie, Qin Lan must be trying to play with her again!

She doesn't believe it!She doesn't believe it!

Qin Lan said that Yan Chu didn't go home all day yesterday, and then at five o'clock this morning, he received a call from the hospital, and then, and then...

She said that Yan Chu was dead, really dead, he had lost too much blood and couldn't be saved.

She questioned Qiao Xi loudly, asking her if Yan Chu had looked for her yesterday.Did she say something to Yan Chu to make him... make him bad at driving!

However, Qiao Xi couldn't hear anything, her ears were ringing very badly, she only heard that Yan Chu was dead, these four words kept lingering and repeating in her mind.

The phone slipped from Qiao Xi's hand inch by inch, and then fell to the ground.Beside her, many colleagues passed by, but no one picked it up for her, and no one noticed that something was wrong with her.

They all lowered their heads and entered the meeting room, preparing for this very important meeting, for fear that there would be any mistakes.

Until Shang Jing came and saw Qiao Xi who was like a log: "Xiao Xi, why don't you go in. Go in quickly, it's almost time, don't dawdle!"

"If I leave now, what will happen?" Qiao Xi murmured, her red eyes had already lost focus.

Shang Jing thumped her, and said angrily: "Are you looking for death? Do you know how long the whole company has been preparing for this meeting? Don't worry, just do it according to your usual thinking, and nothing will happen."

Qiao Xi tightly hugged the document in her hand, and suddenly felt very cold, very cold: "Yeah...it will be fine...how could it be...how could it be..."

This time, Shang Jing really noticed that something was wrong with Qiao Xi, and when she touched her, she realized: "What's wrong with you? Why are you shaking all the time? Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, after today, you'll be fine." .”

Qiao Xi nodded, desperately nodding, and opened her eyes wide open, for fear that tears would burst out in the blink of an eye.

She stiffly picked up the mobile phone on the ground. The mobile phone Bai Xiaofan gave her was of good quality, it was not broken or broken, it was still brand new and beautiful.

Next, Qiao Xi and Shang Jing entered the meeting room. She saw Bai Xiaofan and Fang Lanqiu who was next to him. The meeting started.

They are all adults, and they are not allowed to shirk all their responsibilities because of some things.

Therefore, Qiao Xi could only hold on, hold on, no matter whether Yan Chu's story was true or not, she could only hold on until the end of this meeting.

To be honest, after the whole meeting, Qiao Xi didn't know what he said at all. The operation of the brain and the operation of the heart seemed to be separated from each other, two opposite sides.

But, she is no longer nervous, there is nothing to be nervous about, she just wants to end this meeting quickly, hurry up, hurry up!

Therefore, throughout the meeting, Qiao Xi basically kept a cold face, holding on with a hard breath.

But in the end, it went smoothly, even so smoothly that some people didn't expect it.

I thought that Qiao Xi would definitely be embarrassing, but she didn't. On the contrary, she was very calm, and the fast word order and explanation gave her a little momentum.

By the time the meeting ended, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.Although it was not too early, it was really not easy for the meeting that was originally expected to last all night to be shortened by so many hours.

Who should get the credit for this time, in fact, they all know very well.

Fang Lanqiu was very generous and organized a celebration dinner for her colleagues, and she treated them to guests.

However, Qiao Xi couldn't do it anymore, many voices were intertwined in her ears, it was very noisy, she leaned on the wall, almost wanting to scream.

She wanted to leave here, she had to leave here, she wanted to go to Yan Chu, she wanted to see Qin Lan, she wanted to reveal to her face that the incident was fake, fake!

However, Qiao Xi couldn't make it to the door of the conference room. Everyone was so happy that no one seemed to notice her who was almost dying.

I don't know who bumped into her, her feet trembled so much that she couldn't stand still, and she was about to fall to the ground, but someone pulled her arm.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

Bai Xiaofan hugged the weak Qiao Xi and kept asking her.

From the very beginning of the meeting, he sensed that something was wrong with her. Her people were talking about plans here, but her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if her soul was out of her body, and she wasn't here at all!

Qiao Xi held Bai Xiaofan's hand tightly as if she was drowning, as if only in this way could she catch her breath.She opened her small mouth and moved it, as if she had said a word, but she also seemed to have said nothing.

The voice was pitifully low, completely covered and drowned out by the carnival crowd in the conference room.

Bai Xiaofan became impatient and impatient, so he yelled at the people in the conference room, "Don't make noise!!"

Like a roar of a lion, it was very majestic and loud. In an instant, everyone was silent, and they all looked at Bai Xiaofan without knowing why.

I don't know what provoked him at all!

However, everyone saw that Bai Xiaofan and Qiao Xi hugged each other at some point.

One handsome face couldn't hide his nervousness, while the other was weak as if he had been severely hit.

Although everyone didn't know what happened, they were still quite surprised.They all thought that Fang Lanqiu would be able to succeed in taking the position, but now it turns out that Bai Xiaofan still loves Qiao Xi very much.

Qiao Xi lay on Bai Xiaofan's shoulders, tears couldn't hold back anymore, and the tears rolled down her face, flowing onto Bai Xiaofan's neck and the collar of her white shirt.

It's wet!

She said intermittently: "Qin Lan... Called and called me this morning... She said... She said that Yan Chu died..."

"Dead?" Bai Xiaofan frowned suddenly, then turned his gaze to Zhang Yi.

I saw that Zhang Yi silently nodded, indicating that it was indeed true.He had received this news as early as four o'clock in the afternoon, but he didn't want to affect the progress of the meeting, so he suppressed it and didn't say anything.

No one knew why Yan Chu's death happened so suddenly that people were completely caught off guard.

But sometimes, the accident itself is so sudden that it cannot be explained, and it has to be admitted.

Yan Chu died in a car accident at three o'clock in the morning, because it was an accidental traffic accident.Yan's family received a good amount of compensation, and Yan Chu's life insurance.

It is said that the compensation amount of this insurance is as high as eight figures, and the beneficiaries are his parents.

Yan Chu's parents bought this insurance for him as soon as he was born. Because he was the only child, he was in pain everywhere, and he didn't hesitate to pay 100 million in insurance money every year.

Unexpectedly, it ended up like this.

What's more, after Yan Chu's death, the high insurance compensation he received would allow his parents to go through this life-and-death crisis.

Irony?

***

Yan Chu's funeral was held three days later, and it happened to be cloudy and raining that day.

Qiao Xi went, and Bai Xiaofan also went, but he was going with her, so he was worried about her.

At the funeral, Qiao Xi saw Yan Chu's mother who had fainted from crying, Qin Lan who hadn't reacted, and Lan Shimo who was meaningful.

Different people, different looks, but they all showed the fact that Yan Chu was dead.

Qiao Xi didn't believe it, she just didn't want to believe it, but when she really saw Yan Chu's tombstone, she seemed to hear the sound of her heart breaking.

This man who has been with her for ten years is really gone. In this world, there will be no more words...

Qiao Xi was wondering if it was all her fault. If she had kept Yan Chu and didn't let him go that day, would he not have died?

In the past, Qiao Xi thought that Yan Chu's death was equivalent to the end of the world.

But now, she discovered that there is no end to the world, the earth is still spinning, time is still passing, and life still has to go on——

It's just that she often has nightmares recently, and after waking up from the nightmares, she can't fall asleep anymore.

The same goes for tonight.

After she woke up in the middle of the night, she couldn't fall asleep anyway, left Bai Xiaofan's warm embrace, slowly got up and went to the window.The moonlight came through the gaps in the curtains and reflected on her body, as if the whole body was transparent, and it melted when touched.

After standing for a while, Qiao Xi opened the curtains and looked at the blue night sky, which was very beautifully decorated with stars.Maybe she couldn't see clearly enough, but she slowly climbed up to the balcony, opened the window, and stretched out half of her body.

In fact, Bai Xiaofan had already woken up when Qiao Xi got up, and had been secretly watching her every move. At this moment, his heart shuddered!

The second floor is not too high, but with Qiao Xi's frame, jumping down would definitely be too much!

Bai Xiaofan quickly jumped out of bed, hugged Qiao Xi from behind, and couldn't help but hug her back from the window sill.Then, he locked her tightly in his arms and said angrily, "Are you crazy? Sitting like that is dangerous!"

Qiao Xi was taken aback by his yelling, she seemed unable to react, she opened her reddish eyes as if she was about to cry.

Bai Xiaofan immediately regretted it. Knowing that his words were a bit serious, he quickly hugged her, resisted the voice, and coaxed: "Don't cry, anyway, I will do whatever you want, but don't do dangerous things!"

Only then did Qiao Xi understand: "No, it's not that I can't think about it... I just feel bored and want to open the window and look at the stars outside."

Bai Xiaofan still had lingering fears: "Then what are you doing climbing so high, tomorrow I'll have someone put a guardrail on the window."

"Don't." Qiao Xi placed her hand on her heart, frowned, and said quietly, "I just feel bored here."

Bai Xiaofan stroked Qiao Xi's temple hair: "Shall we go down for a walk?"

Qiao Xi nodded, she didn't care, anyway, she couldn't sleep, she felt that she would have insomnia for a long, long time.

Bai Xiaofan took out the coat from the closet, put it on Qiao Xi, wrapped her tightly, and carried her downstairs, sat on the steps in front of the villa, looking up at the sky.

It seems that I haven't seen the night sky for many years. The moon seems to have been washed, revealing half of its round face. The skin is crystal clear and glows faintly. The crystal stone on the ground makes people feel luxurious.

But at this moment, the little woman in her arms looked sideways, her eyes were extremely bright.

My heart seems to have been stabbed.

Bai Xiaofan turned Qiao Xi's face around, and saw that there was a lot of moisture in her eyes, as if tears could fall in the blink of an eye.

"Why are you crying? I'm still here."

"Did I cry?"

The next moment, tear petals swirled in the eyes a few times and slipped down instantly.

Finally, Qiao Xi couldn't hold it anymore, lying in Bai Xiaofan's arms, clutching her heart, choked up and said, "It hurts, Bai Xiaofan...I hurt."
