let me look at you

Chapter 70 When the Angel Passes by

Ju Nian appeared in this form, how could Cai Jian not be frightened, she couldn't figure out Xie Ju Nian's terrible motive, looking at Han Shu's appearance, she could also guess the terrible consequences that this motive might lead to, not to mention the fact that it involved Entered Tang industry.

It's winter, and it gets dark early.Han Shu drove Cai Jian's car around the left bank twice, finally found a parking space, and quickly backed into it.

"It's strange. Usually, the parking space is not so tight. What day is it today? Could it be that everyone is driving to congratulate your son?" Han Shu muttered as he turned off the engine.

Cai Jian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, didn't forget to straighten his hair in a neat bun before getting out of the car to make sure that his clothes and appearance were in order, then he opened the car door with a smile and said, "Han Shu, you are so confused. Still confused, what day is today, isn't it the foreign festival that you young people love to come out and get together?"

Only then did Han Shu see the festively decorated Christmas tree, Christmas hut and lanterns at the left bank gate, and he suddenly realized that tonight was Christmas Eve.No wonder Cai Jian laughed at him, he was really confused.

Han Shu loves to be lively, and he especially likes festivals. Whether it’s Chinese festivals, foreign festivals, new calendar festivals or lunar festivals, he doesn’t care about meat and vegetables, and accepts everything according to the order. Anyway, any festival can be an excellent opportunity for him to call on friends. He knows how to play, he is very popular, and his friends are willing to hang out with him.At this time in previous years, as the backbone of the party, he had already planned how to arrange the first, second, and third shows in the evening.I don't know what happened this year, but in the end it was Cai Jian who reminded him of the existence of this festival.

Maybe it's because he's been so busy these days, maybe it's because his former partners have already lived together in pairs and each other, maybe it's because he finally got tired of playing one day, maybe it's because the surrounding environment has changed, maybe , the person who changes is himself.

In short, on Christmas Eve this year, Han Shu stood with his godmother under the flickering lights on the left bank, and felt a sense of emptiness and loneliness out of thin air.He thought, in fact, in the West, Christmas is a day for family reunion, who is he going to reunite with?Parents are close relatives, of course the door is open and waiting for him, but he is afraid of the old man's overly concerned nagging.He is not young anymore, he should have his own life, he has a lot of friends, but they are all passers-by.He is a circle with a gap in it. In the past, he used excitement and games to block it. After those things dispersed, the wind came in coldly.

"Let's go." Cai Jian urged him, "Aye and the others have been here for quite a while."

Han Shu said shyly, "No matter how anxious you are, you can't hug your grandson right away."

The two walked to the entrance of the western restaurant on the second floor, and the respectful and polite waiter bowed and said, "Merry Christmas." Cai Jian was about to step into the hall, but Han Shu grabbed her with a smile.

"Godmother, take a deep breath."

Cai Jian was surprised: "Why, what are you doing?"

Han Shu said narrowly, "Aren't you nervous? Are you afraid that your stepson will find you an ugly wife?"

Cai Jian was angry and funny, "Nonsense, no matter how ugly a daughter-in-law is, she still has to see her in-laws. Besides, our family is no worse than you, so why should you find an ugly one?"

Having said that, Cai Jian stopped and really took a deep breath.Han Shu was right, she was a little nervous, if it was her own son, she might not be so nervous.

"It doesn't matter how you look, as long as you are nice, simple, and have a clean family background." Cai Jian said.

Han Shu laughed, "You are as low as my parents."

There were quite a few people sitting in the dimly lit western restaurant, and on the bar counter, the violinist performed mesmerizingly.Cai Jian looked around for a moment, and someone in the corner stood up and waved at them.

The waiter led them to the table, and Cai Jian introduced the two young people with a smile.

"Aye, this is Han Shu. I told you, my godson... Han Shu, this is me... This is Tang Ye."

Tang Ye smiled and stretched out his hand to Han Shu, "Auntie doesn't even need an introduction. We met each other, but it was on a business occasion. Prosecutor Han, I don't know if you still remember."

Thinking of the case of the Construction Bureau, Han Shu knew that maybe he had met face-to-face when he went to the Tangye unit to investigate. At that time, he met a lot of people and things were complicated, so he didn't care much about the young people who were about his age in front of him. Impressed, he smiled back and shook Tang Ye's hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you. But we don't talk about business today, we only talk about Fengyue, ha ha."

Cai Jian made a gesture to hit Han Shu, and said to Tang Ye, "This kid is used to being poor with me, and he doesn't speak properly."

"The ones who are not restrained are their own people." Tang Ye said.

While speaking, Cai Jian looked around. Of course, she did not forget the main purpose of today's visit, but apart from her and Han Shu, only Tang Ye was alone in the seat, and the heroine didn't know where to go.

"Aye, why are you alone?" After sitting down, she asked tentatively.

Tang Ye said: "Oh, she sat for a while, just went to the bathroom, and came back immediately."

Only then did Cai Jian feel relieved. Before his death, what her husband could not forget was the lifelong event of the only seedling of the Tang family. No wonder she was so worried.

"By the way, your aunt said, the girl's surname is Xie, right?"

Tang Ye nodded, but Han Shu's eyelids couldn't help twitching when he heard the word thank you, and he laughed secretly in his heart that he was neurotic, so he was like an enemy.At this time, Cai Jian, who had finished greeting each other with his stepson and stopped to drink water after talking for a few words, began to bring up the topic of Han Shu.She reprimanded half-truthfully: "Han Shu, Han Shu, look, you are all of the same age, and Tang Ye, who is determined to be celibate, has a place to go. As for you, you still can't get up or down. You should You won’t learn those messy popular things now, what are they called, oh, Brokeback Mountain.”

Cai Jian was also joking, Han Shu cooperated with taking a mouthful of hot water and laughed, but Tang Ye secretly stiffened his back.

Han Shu is the best at observing words and expressions. How could he not know Cai Jian's caring and alienated attitude towards this adult stepson, so he hurriedly jokingly cheered up the atmosphere before the heroine appeared.

"Godmother, you just don't open the pot and carry the pot, but talk about my sad things. It is said that lovers are like clothes, and friends are like brothers and sisters. Pity me for becoming a naked Avalokitesvara not long ago."

As soon as these words came out, Cai Jian and the slightly restrained Tang Ye were successfully amused, and everyone relaxed a little.At this moment, a girl's figure came over from the bathroom behind the bar.

Han Shu and Cai Jian were sitting with their backs to her, but Tang Ye saw it early, so he stood up and waited.

The woman approached in a hurry, apologizing in a moaning voice, "Sorry, sorry, I've waited so long."

"What does it matter, you didn't mean it." Tang Ye smiled kindly.He lightly held her arm and was about to introduce her.Han Shu, who didn't face them directly, heard the voice, but turned around early with some doubts.

He stood up quite slowly and hesitantly, as if he needed to confirm the authenticity of the scene in front of him.The horror on her face was so clear that he could only helplessly turn to look at Cai Jian beside him. At this moment, Han Shu too needed someone to urge him to wake up.Wake up, Han Shu, it's dawn.

Cai Jian was also at a loss, but her loss was not because of the nice girl next to her stepson, but because of Han Shu's childlike panic and the momentary weird atmosphere.She didn't recognize Ju Nian immediately. After all, 11 years had passed. Ju Nian and her only met each other a few times back then, and her original memory was blurred. Moreover, a growing girl, in so many years, Inevitably some changes.

Cai Jian is a woman who is used to seeing big scenes. She intuitively felt a little strangeness, and this strangeness was undoubtedly brought about by this slightly familiar young woman who just appeared.She frowned, tilted her head slightly, and recalled who she was, whether she had seen her before, why Han Shu's face suddenly became so ugly, she was Aye's girlfriend, by the way, her surname was Xie...

The floodgates of memories were blown open by the past, the girl who held a new set of pants and sneered "I know, you're afraid I'll sue him" with a little insight, the particularly slender shadow on the dock , finally slowly reunited with the woman in front of her who had lost her awkward smile and had an indifferent expression.

Cai Jian's heart was shaken, as if a fuze had ignited and exploded all his thoughts, he pointed at Ju Nian with shaking fingers, and before he could speak, he was interrupted by a sudden burst of angina pectoris in his panic.

On the other side, Tang Ye, who didn't know what was going on inside, felt his lightly supported body take a step back. He silently steadied her, and was about to say, "Auntie, this is my girlfriend..." But he happened to catch up with Cai Jian pressing her Slumping back to the chair with his chest in his chest, he quickly let go of Ju Nian and stepped forward to have a look.

Han Shu was closer to Cai Jian. He knew that his godmother's coronary heart disease was a long-standing problem. Go over and give her a bite.At this moment, Cai Jian, who was covered in cold sweat and pale face, leaned on the back of the chair, but slowly passed the breath, his chest rose and fell sharply, and stopped Han Shu's hand delivering the medicine.

She has lived to this age, and as a woman with a successful career, she has experienced many ups and downs. She is not an old woman who is blinded by troubles in TV dramas, but this woman who reappeared after many years not only connects her most important things The two juniors also evoked one of the darkest episodes of her memory in her life.

In all fairness, Prosecutor Cai Yilin is not a vicious woman. On the contrary, she has come to this day step by step with her own ability. She has handled countless cases in her hands. She can feel her conscience and say that she is worthy of her duties and Cap badge on the head.But that was the only time... the Goddess of Justice she had sworn to when she was young held a scale in one hand and a sword in the other, but she was blindfolded, because justice must be judged with the heart. 11 years ago, Cai Jian opened his eyes to an innocent girl.That time she saw her godson Han Shu, so the balance tilted.In just one thought, there is no crime, and even girls who are among the victims are jailed.

Over the years, Cai Jian has not entirely taken that matter lightly.Her original intention was not to let Ju Nian go to jail, but she was afraid that if she went all out to sue, even if she failed, Han Shu would be charged as a rapist in the eyes of others at a young age.Back then, her biggest crime was overconfidence, overestimating her skills, thinking that as long as the hotel owner testified in court, Han Shu would get away, and Ju Nian would not fall into that whirlpool.She thought, everything can be compensated, she can think of a way to give the girl a sum of money at that time, or if Han Shu likes her so much, he can make the raw rice into cooked rice, so it's not impossible to make the girl happy.In the end, no one thought that the praying mantis stalked the cicada, the oriole was behind, and the beloved Chen family made her suffer a dumb loss, leading to the ending that no one could bear to look back on.

Xie Ju Nian was released from prison, hating her in her heart, Cai Jian was acceptable, she admitted that it was her fault.When Ju Nian was still in prison, she asked to visit the prison more than once, and planned to give her a certain amount of financial compensation, but Ju Nian never gave her any chance. Now, Ju Nian appeared in this form, how could Cai Jian She couldn't fathom Xie Ju Nian's terrible motive, but looking at Han Shu's appearance, she could guess the terrible consequences that this motive might lead to, not to mention Tang Ye was involved.

Tang Ye squatted beside his stepmother, with a worried expression on his face. No matter how dull he was, he could see the astonishing undercurrents of this meeting. He asked cautiously, "You...know each other?"

Cai Jian's breathing gradually calmed down, she signaled that she was fine, and waved away the waiter who came to inquire.But in the face of Tang Ye's doubts, she couldn't evade them, but she couldn't explain them either. She didn't know where to start.

Ju Nian stood there like an emotionless marble statue, Han Shu didn't say a word, his eyes were glued to her body, Tang Ye stood up and spread his hands helplessly, "Can someone tell What happened to me?"

Cai Jian remained silent with a pale face, Han Shu seemed not to have heard what he said.

After a while, a thin voice broke the deadlock.

"Yeah, we met. It happened many years ago. Prosecutor Cai, no, Prosecutor Cai did me a favor back then. No one thought that the world is so small." Ju Nian smiled at Tang Ye .

Tang Ye may not believe it, he is not a fool, he saw the embarrassment of his stepmother after hearing the words, but so what if he doesn't believe it, this is the only answer that the few parties involved can give him.He chose to listen and wait and see.

"That's it, that's really fate. Ju Nian, she is my aunt. After my father passed away, my aunt cared about me very much. You also know Han Shu, right?"

Han Shu still didn't speak, and seemed to laugh out loud.Ju Nian's body was stiff and he didn't move.

Tang Ye slowly opened the chair for Ju Nian, "Sit first."

Ju Nian carefully sat on the edge of the chair, as if waking up from a dream.

"Prosecutor Han, won't you sit down?" Tang Ye asked Han Shu with a smile.

Cai Jian who came back to his senses sighed, and gently tugged Han Shu's sleeve under the table.She couldn't be more pragmatic, since everyone is working together to maintain that thin layer of camouflage, why should she be in a hurry to tear it apart.She just wanted to figure out how Xie Ju Nian found Tang Ye, how deep Tang Ye's affection for her was, and whether the truth behind it would hurt Tang Ye and Han Shu.

Han Shu ignored him at first, Ju Nian avoided making eye contact with him, lowered his head, and slowly twisted the napkin in front of his seat.Run out the door?He refuses.So he convinced himself to sit down.She is also a part of this absurd drama, so he wants to stay.

Tang Ye smoothed things over, "A friend of mine who has lived in France for many years told me that if the conversation at a party suddenly stops, it is proof that an angel has passed by." After speaking, he smiled again, "This place It is run by my friend, she recommended to me that the French cuisine here is good, and the chef specially invited from Lyon, we can try it.”

As he said that, he signaled the waiter to bring the menu, and Cai Jian put his hand on Han Shu's knee. She was afraid that Han Shu's temper would come up, and she didn't know what he would do.Han Shu recalled how many years ago, those hands held him down like this, he couldn't tell whether those hands were warm or cold, and his godmother pulled him out of the quagmire. Still pushed in forever.
