let me look at you

Chapter 69 Tomorrow Night, Second Floor, Left Bank

Ju Nian wrung his hands, hesitating in his heart, but after all, he felt soft-hearted in front of a man like Tang Ye. He stood on the edge, but he was kind and always cared too much about other people's feelings. This was the same as the little monk. How similar.

After repaying Tang Ye's debt, Ju Nian felt a lot better.For some people, the feeling of being owed is far more unbearable than being owed, because the person who is owed can let go of himself and say: Forget it; while the person who owes others, as long as the guilt is still carried on his body for a day, he will be fine. Never get over that hurdle.

Pingfeng was discharged from the hospital, and asked Ju Nian several times, if there are any "good products" like the bag from last time, and if I get a few more, they can still sell for a good price.After hearing this, Ju Nian laughed it off.She also told Pingfeng again and again that even if it was for making money, don't be so rash in the future, they are all the same, there is no one to rely on, and if any disaster happens, no one can save the other.

During the lunch break and shift change, Ju Nian and a few shop assistants ate a simple box lunch in the lounge separated behind the store.There are mostly young girls in the fabric shop, and when they are free, they chatter endlessly, Ju Nian listens to their gossip with a smile, and flips through the morning newspaper of the day.The content of the local morning newspaper is notoriously trivial, taking up a lot of space, either a rooster laying an egg, or a lovelorn girl jumping into a river.After reading a social news article, a notice in the lower left corner of the page stopped her from turning the page down.

It's just a one-inch cube of tofu. If you don't pay attention, you can easily overlook it. If you look closely, there are only a few lines:

The joy of the full moon for the young master of the Zhou family——Dear relatives and friends: according to strict orders, I would like to set a date for the joy of the full moon for the little son on X, XX, XX.

It's a very common announcement. Ordinary people don't like this anymore. When their children are full moon, at most they send letters privately to inform relatives and friends to have dinner together. Most powerful families keep a low profile. On the contrary, some local people and businessmen still It's not surprising that this habit is kept. What really attracted Ju Nian to take a closer look was the owner's signature under the notice, which read: Zhou Ziyi, Chen Jiejie and his wife respectfully.

Chen Jiejie also heard a little about Chen Jiejie's marriage in the past few years.Although everyone was a classmate, Chen Jiejie did not come forward to invite Ju Nian to attend the wedding. Of course, Ju Nian couldn't attend either.Why bother, both of them knew very well that the appearance of the other party would not do any good except to reveal the old scars, so there was really no need to ask for trouble.

At that time, Ju Nian had already brought Feiming by her side. On the day she heard the news of the marriage, she looked at the child, although she was a little sentimental, but she could understand Chen Jiejie's search for another belonging.Although Ju Nian never really liked Chen Jiejie, she admits that she still can't let go of it completely, but who has to guard for whom, her own obsession is her own choice, and of course Chen Jiejie also has the freedom to choose to forget.Now, Chen Jiejie has become a mother "again". However, different from the secrecy and shame of 11 years ago, this time, she gave birth to a baby boy that is upright and celebrated with the whole family. Even in the eyes of everyone, she is the only one. of.

Ju Nian couldn't help but think, when Chen Jiejie desperately wanted to leave with Wu Yu, did he ever think that this day would come?This idea is ridiculous, the feelings of young men and women, no one thinks that it is a lifetime.Wu Yu may have been a detour in Chen Jiejie's life, it took a detour and returned to the starting point.Some people are destined to be the daughters of rich people, the daughters-in-law of rich people, and in the end, become the mothers of successful people again.Are princes and generals better than each other?
However, Ju Nian was not jealous, on the contrary, she was even a little relieved, and this relief also came from a small selfishness.Chen Jiejie found her world in another man, and now, having given birth to another child, she belongs to a completely different life, and the world of Ju Nian is even quieter.Perhaps no one except her remembers that a few years ago, a boy named Wu Yu once existed in this world.

As long as she remembers, that's enough.

Someone from the store opened the door and came in, shouting, "Sister Ju Nian, someone is looking for you."

Ju Nian responded, the meal was almost done, she put down the newspaper and walked out of the lounge.

"Who is looking for me?" She put on her uniform and asked the girl who called her just now.

The girl raised her chin slightly in a certain direction, "Here, over there."

Ju Nian looked along that trajectory, and could only see a figure with her back on the sofa where customers were resting, with a crisp shirt and dazzling white, and she couldn't help but panic.

The man seemed to realize that the person he was waiting for had come out, and he got up and turned around, but Ju Nian was even more surprised. It turned out that it was Tang Ye who hadn't seen him since the day he gave the sofa cover.

Ju Nian's heart was also relieved because of this, she was really afraid of Han Shu's entanglement, compared to the past entanglement, Han Shu's restrained and distanced look now made her more confused, as if the storm was about to come calm.

Of course, Tang Ye's reappearance was also unexpected in Ju Nian. She really couldn't think of anything else that could connect her with Tang Ye, so that he found the store.

Ju Nian took a few steps forward, avoiding crowded places, and Tang Ye also walked to her side.

"Hello."

Ju Nian was a little uncomfortable with his reserved manners, so he could only respond with a little embarrassment, "Uh, hello... Excuse me, come to me..."

Tang Ye answered irrelevantly, "Your set of sofa covers and pillows, I have been looking at them for a long time, they are indeed very beautiful... I came here today to see if you are here. You know, your address is on the invoice. This is your Work clothes left at my house that day."

Ju Nian took the orange vest silently. She wasn't the only uniform, and she didn't think Tang Ye would make a special trip for the unimportant vest, which he could throw into the trash can.She was already mentally prepared to go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing.

"By the way, I think I should apologize to you. My own emotions were very problematic that day. Don't take what you said in your heart."

"No, you are already very polite." Ju Nian is a slow person. She doesn't know the specific purpose of Tang Ye's visit, so she responds to all changes without change. The one who is more anxious must be the one who finishes Tai Chi first.

Sure enough, Tang Ye showed some embarrassing expressions, obviously what he was going to say next seemed a bit difficult to say to him.

"Miss Xie, it's like this. That day, in front of my aunt, you did me a favor. I am very grateful. But after the old man went back, he praised you in front of my aunt. Now, my aunt insists on... oh ..."

Ju Nian understood that the sequelae of the play she played with him came.

Seeing that Ju Nian was silent and had no intention of agreeing, Tang Ye also had a headache. He tried to ask: "If you are willing to spare some time, for example, if you delay your work for half a day, I can make up for it appropriately. As long as it's within my ability..."

Ju Nian pursed his lips and smiled, and he planned to give her money again, but he was so tactful.

"That's not the problem, Mr. Tang." Ju Nian said earnestly, "Even if I helped you this time, there will still be many next times. This deception will be exposed one day, and you can't keep it from you forever Besides..." She paused for a while, "Besides, I'm not a good choice to play your girlfriend." Ju Nian has self-knowledge, her background is not clean, and Tang Ye is a good family, she is afraid of being accidentally exposed , It made everyone look dull, which was a disservice.

Tang Ye nodded, "I know what you mean. How should I put it? My parents are gone. My aunt has never been married. She has been following my grandfather and father. Now it is me. As for my aunt, she is my father's second wife. My wife, that is, my stepmother. They are very concerned about my private affairs. This is good intentions. I don’t want these elders to worry about me. My aunt really likes you, so my aunt didn’t care about my rejection of her earlier. About the girl I introduced, I just ask to see you. Let’s have a meal together, and she will be relieved. Auntie is a stepmother after all. She has her job. Although she cares about me, she will not interfere with me too much As for my aunt, even if we explain to her that we broke up in the future, can we push this time back, at least not to let the old man think that we are too rash. That's why I decided to trouble you again, It's also the last time, I hope you can agree. It's just a dinner, it won't take up too much of your time."

Ju Nian wrung his hands, hesitating in his heart, but after all, he felt soft-hearted in front of a man like Tang Ye. He stood on the edge, but he was kind and always cared too much about other people's feelings. This was the same as the little monk. How similar.

Seeing that Tang Ye's self-esteem was about to make him retreat, Ju Nian nodded with determination, "Okay, I promise you, but this is the last time. When and where is dinner scheduled?"

Tang Ye heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.This was the first time Ju Nian saw him happy.

"I'll pick you up. Tomorrow night, on the second floor of the left bank."

In the office, Han Shu pulled out a piece of A4 paper that was jammed and deformed from the printer, cursed in a low voice, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it towards the wastebasket on one side.At a distance of about one meter, he missed the shot, and the ball of paper rubbed against the side of the basket and fell to the ground.Han Shu couldn't help shouting: "Damn it!"

This sentence is Zhu Xiaobei's catchphrase. Han Shu claims to be a civilized person, and has always criticized and despised this kind of words and deeds. Now he came to learn and use it. Fortunately, no one else heard him in his office.He thought, he was the worst, and all the trash bullied him.

Aggrieved, Han Shu walked over, picked up the ball of paper, put it back where it should be, clapped his hands, then got angry for no reason, and kicked on the wastebasket, "Look at you still perverted."

The plastic wastebasket was overturned, and the balls full of waste paper were scattered all over the floor.Only then did Han Shu sit back in his seat with satisfaction.Defeated the enemy, very happy!
At this time, the phone rang unknowingly.He reached for the receiver.

"Hello, Han Shu of the People's Procuratorate in the west of the city, who is it?" Troubled all the time, he didn't dare to neglect in front of outsiders when he was working.

A girl's laughter came from the other side of the phone, "Han Shu, are you so busy? Didn't you see that it's an internal line?"

It turned out to be the beauty director of the dean's office.

Han Shu coughed, "What are you doing?"

"I heard from Xiao Zhang and the others that you refused to ask you to play for a while, and ran away after work, not knowing where to go. Also, I used the perfume you recommended when I greeted you this morning. It didn't even smell it, didn't react at all, it doesn't look like you."

"Now you are at work, I think you are sick because of leisure." Han Shu said angrily.

He has always been very familiar with the young people in the courtyard, and he is also used to teasing.The other party sneered, "Han Shu, Han Shu, I heard that your girlfriend left you and went to another place, but what is this? Who are you? You are Mr. Han! I think I talked to you before I got married. Love, even though it’s only been a few days, when you broke up, you were like a big liberation, and you can’t wait to sing the Internationale. Let’s go, everyone will sing K after work, you want to come.”

"I'm not going." Han Shu's voice sounded lazy, "You don't have any pursuit in life? You only know how to sing karaoke, it's a waste of time, I won't tell you, I'm busy."

As soon as Attorney General Cai came out of the office, he saw her deputy director of the office holding the phone and smiled at her: "What's wrong with Han Shu, do you know what he just said to me?" Sing K, waste Time'." Director Xiao Zhao vividly imitated Han Shu's tone in front of Cai Jian, "Isn't he the God K of our procuratorate?"

Prosecutor Cai shook his head with a smile, but walked towards Han Shu's office.

When he entered Han Shu's office, Prosecutor Cai saw him lying on his back, picking up a lot of waste paper into the wastebasket one by one.

"Hey, look at how much our Section Chief Han loves to work." Chief Inspector Cai smiled and walked to the sofa beside him and sat down, waiting for Han Shu to finish picking up the last piece of paper, and sat down on his own desk unhappily forward.

Han Shu wryly smiled and fiddled with the file on the table, "Don't make fun of me. If it weren't for you, would I be able to do this? I shouldn't have taken Wang Guohua's case in the first place. Now it's all right. He just bungee jumps without a rope Go, leave this mess what do you say."

Prosecutor Cai also put away his smile, and said seriously: "You can do whatever you want with this matter!"

"Wang Guohua repeatedly emphasized his innocence in front of me, but he refused to give me any evidence to prove his innocence." Han Shu brushed his hair, quite distressed.

"You didn't just handle the case today. Which suspect doesn't say he is innocent. He couldn't bear the burden so he committed suicide. The case should be closed." Cai Jian said lightly.

Han Shu raised his head, "You mean, if he dies, he will be convicted of the crime, and everything will be borne by him?"

"Didn't he deserve what he deserved?"

"No, I always feel that something is wrong. I have checked Wang Guohua's personal savings records and consumption records. To be honest, he is a very frugal person. Apart from spending a lot of money on sending his son abroad, he has almost nothing. Major expenses, his son's grades are good, and he is not extravagant in Canada, and the procedures for going abroad don't cost that much money. But some time before his death, the accumulated deficits found by the Construction Bureau have exceeded the original 340 million. If he really took such a large sum of money, where would he hide it? So far, no whereabouts of the stolen money has been found... Wang Guohua is a very useless person. I won’t die by jumping off the building, but I still don’t know where the crux of the problem is, this matter must not be that simple..."

Cai Jian said with a smile: "You child, because of this incident recently, you have lost a lot of weight. Even your mother was so distressed that she asked me to ask my teacher for guilt. I thought something was wrong. Don't worry about the case, you just don't care. I am in a hurry to run to the city courtyard, and I also think that the godmother is taking good care of you here. Honestly, apart from business, there is nothing else, right?"

Han Shu turned his head away, "What can happen, you just love to worry about it."

"Han Shu, come to dinner with me tomorrow night, Xiao Zhao and the others, you don't want to sell your face, but your godmother's face?" Cai Jian didn't ask.

Han Shu waved his hands in disbelief, "Don't come to me for business and entertainment, and I'm not interested in private matters."

"He said it's okay, good boy, how come he looks like a little old man!"

Han Shu half-truthfully said: "Actually, you don't understand my heart. I suddenly feel that I'm just like this waste paper and garbage. If my father doesn't love me, I'm worthless."

Cai Jian let out a "bah", "Speak all unlucky nonsense. Seriously, go to dinner with me tomorrow night. It's neither official nor private. It's half public and half private. You have nothing to say."

"what's up?"

"I asked Ah Ye to have dinner."

"Who? Oh...your half-way son, what are you doing with me for dinner?" Han Shu immediately quit.

"Tsk, let me tell you what I'm saying. He recently had a girlfriend... That kid, Aye, is just like you. He's a big boy who doesn't want to settle down. He doesn't care about what I introduced to him, and he's fine now. , I heard that I found one and got along well, I have to see him sometime."

"Then I can't go, what's the point if I go?" Han Shu banged on the folder and joked, "What if your future daughter-in-law takes a fancy to me?"

"Don't be serious. It's not like you don't know about my relationship with Aye. It didn't come out of my stomach. The child is very polite, so polite that I feel unfamiliar, but his father told me so before he died... You go, anyway, I have to talk more alone." Cai Jian's face was gloomy, and Han Shu didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

"Also... on the other hand, Wang Guohua's case also involves him to some extent. I want you to meet him. I don't mean to ask you to meet him for personal gain... to meet each other, to have a meal and to get to know each other. They are young people. You'll find out..."

Han Shu understood that at this time, he should not have had private contact with Tang Ye, but this was also the good intention of the godmother.Poor parents all over the world, although Tang Ye was not born by Cai Jian.

Han Shu has always followed strict procedures in handling cases, not only because of ethical issues, but to be honest, he has had nothing to worry about since he was a child, and he doesn't lack anything, so there is no need to violate his conscience for a little profit.But Tang Ye has not been directly related to the case so far, let alone how his godmother treated Han Shu.He wasn't hard-hearted either, so he sighed, "Then I'll just make a light bulb. When and where?"

"I'll pick you up tomorrow night, on the second floor of the left bank."
