It's a pity I still love you

Chapter 11 The so-called unforgettable old love (1)
The next afternoon, Liu Nian received an unexpected call from Shao Qiren. He wanted to ask her out for a cup of coffee and ask her how she was doing.Although Liu Nian wondered how Shao Qiren would have such a free time as a high-ranking official in the city, after all, Shao Qiren was an elder, so she couldn't refuse, so she agreed.

The coffee shop that Shao Qiren chose was next to the municipal building, and his father would often come here to sit and sit in Fleeting Years before his accident happened.Seven years have brought a lot of changes to the city, but this coffee shop does not seem to have changed much, just like its name, Rest time, still time.

Two cups of cappuccino, familiar taste, gently turning the coffee spoon, Fleeting Nian asked: "Uncle, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing else. Nine years ago today, your father's crime happened. Hey, I feel uncomfortable when I think about it. I just have a little time today. I want to see if you need my help. Your father is gone. As an elder, I should take care of you more for him."

The elder's caring tone warmed Liu Nian's heart. She smiled and said, "Uncle Shao, don't worry about me. I'm fine now."

"That's good, that's good..."

For some reason, Liu Nian felt that Shao Qiren was hesitant to speak, so she couldn't help asking: "Uncle Shao, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Hey, it's not back then... Forget it, let's not talk about it."

The fleeting time feels even more strange, back then?What happened back then?This Shao Qiren spoke halfway, as if deliberately waiting for her to ask.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Shao Qiren seemed to hesitate for a moment, then he sighed and said, "It's not that I always felt that there was something strange about the incident back then. They all said that since Mayor Su had already gone, don't pursue too much about what happened back then, but I This... hey, I always feel uncomfortable, but to check, it has been so long, and there are no clues left. It stands to reason that Mayor Su should leave something behind, but you don't even know. I'm afraid I guessed wrong..." Shao Qiren said, shaking his head regretfully.

Shao Qiren never forgot his old feelings for his old boss, and wanted to investigate his old case. It stands to reason that Fleeting Time should be very moving, but for some reason, she felt that something was wrong.

During the two meetings, Shao Qiren emphasized what her father left behind, as if he had predicted what her father must have left behind, and what exactly it was...

"Uncle Shao, thank you for thinking about my father's case for so long, but it's been a long time, and I don't want to pursue anything more."

With another long sigh, Shao Qiren said: "Forget it, since you've already said that, then forget it, after all, now is more important than anything else."

Fleeting Nian nodded with a smile, but quickly went through the few remaining things related to his father in his mind.

What could it be?What could both Shao Qiren and Ran Zhimo care about so much?

A pen, a mobile phone, and two pieces of clothes that my father wore the most during his lifetime...not these, what else?

If the father really left something important, then I am afraid that she is the only person in the world who can find it. She must not let her father's painstaking efforts go to waste. She must know the case back then Where is the strangeness, Ran Zhimo...do you know the strangeness?

When she got home, Liu Nian quickly found the cell phone her father had left for her, and searched all the possible information on the cell phone at least three times, but she still couldn't find any information left by her father. It's the factory setting, and if it's any different than a new phone, it's the father's temporary phone number in the address book.She pressed the button, and a female mechanical voice came from the phone: "Sorry, your phone has been shut down."

Tears flowed down uncontrollably, even if the phone wasn't shut down, the call would never be connected again.She remembered the first and last time she used this cell phone to call her father seven years ago. She told him that she had found a safe place, but she was wrong, and that day became a farewell.

Holding the phone tightly in his hand, Liu Nian said to himself in his heart: If father really left something behind, he must spare no effort to find it out!

I went to work as usual, and went to the editor-in-chief, Sister Chen, to receive a task. I didn't expect that the task I received was to interview Cheng Ranming!

She looked at Sister Chen in surprise, and Sister Chen said nonchalantly, "Don't you know Cheng Ranming? Remember to ask more useful information!"

There was also a young girl who had just joined the company with her. She was fair and clean. When she learned that she could interview the young president of the Cheng family, her eyes shone brightly, but perhaps she had heard about Liu Nian and Cheng Ranming. Familiar news, after being excited, he couldn't help but lower his head when he looked at Fleeting Years, with a look of fear.

Liu Nian smiled at her and said nothing, the two went to Cheng's building together, explained to the front desk that they were reporters who had an appointment with Cheng Ranming, and someone came to lead them to the reception room, Cheng Ranming's The assistant said to them: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shao hasn't come back since he went out, so I have to trouble the two of you to wait."

Fleeting Nian was a little nervous because he was going to see him again after what he said to Cheng Ranming last time, but when he heard that he hadn't come back, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay."

In fact, that assistant recognized Fleeting Years. He always felt that this woman was very important to Mr. Shao, but Mr. Shao didn't mention her again in the past few days. He was a little uncertain and didn't dare to do anything rashly, so he had to Call and ask Cheng Ranming: "Mr. Shao, the reporters from "Morning News" have arrived. I have arranged for them to wait for you in the reception room, but..."

"what?"

"One of the reporters who came was Ms. Su." After saying this, he held his breath and carefully discerned the movement on the phone.

There was a few seconds of silence, followed by Cheng Ranming's usual voice: "I see." As if he didn't care.

The assistant couldn't figure out what his boss was thinking for a moment, but he still hadn't arrived after more than half an hour. He felt strange that the boss had never been late for so long.

Fleeting Nian in the reception room was also surprised. Although Cheng Ranming was a bit difficult to get along with, he was not a big player. How could he be so late today?Is it true that something happened to me, or did I know it was her and didn't want to see her?
"You said Cheng will never stop coming, right?" On the side, the little girl was a little frustrated after waiting.

"No." Fleeting Nian was very sure, "This is his company, he will come back no matter what, it's just a matter of whether we can interview him or not."

The little girl was a little surprised. She thought that Su Liunian knew Cheng Ranming, so there must be no problem with this interview, but after coming to the Cheng family, not only did she not see any special treatment for Su Liunian, but she could only resign herself to her fate. Waiting here, now I have some doubts about the veracity of the rumors.

"I heard...do you know Mr. Cheng?" Although she knew it was not good, but hesitated for a moment, the girl asked.

Hearing this, Liu Nian couldn't help laughing, "Do you think I know Mr. Cheng like this? If I knew Mr. Cheng, I would have told them to hurry up and find him back for me, and I can just wait like this with?"

"I think so... But why do they all say that you know Mr. Cheng?"

"Isn't it because of a misunderstanding when I went to interview the general manager of Qi's last time! I have a friend who is familiar with Mr. Cheng, and I will accompany my friend to find Mr. Cheng once in a while. Boss, he wanted to ask me about my friend, but the photographer who came with me mistakenly thought we were very familiar... If only I really knew Mr. Cheng very well, then I wouldn’t have to dream about running around every day It’s getting wind and sun, look how nice this building is!” Liu Nian pretended to be a philistine, and only described herself as an ordinary gold digger, nothing special, when the girl heard it, she thought it was true Well, with such a strong backing, who would want to work in a newspaper office?

"So it is like this!" The girl suddenly realized.

Just as he was talking, the door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open, Fleeting Years turned his head, nearly an hour late, Cheng Ranming finally arrived.

A well-tailored black suit further accentuated his outstanding temperament. Although he came back from the outside, he didn't feel a little dusty. The expression on his face didn't change at all when he saw Fleeting Years. He just said politely: "I'm sorry. , I kept you waiting for a long time." Although he said this, there was not much apology at all, and his tone was still indifferent as usual.

"Mr. Cheng is polite." Fleeting Years was also very polite.

The interview went smoothly, and the conversation between the two was extremely brief, as if they were competing in a competition.The entire interview process was completed very quickly, but within 15 minutes, the original half-hour interview was completed.The little girl who came with her never found a chance to interject, she was almost stunned by Cheng Ranming's occasional frowning movements, and it was not until Fleeting Years told her to pack up her things and leave that she came back to her senses in a daze.

At that time, Cheng Ranming was already walking towards the reception room, but he paused when he reached the door, Liu Nian was packing his things neatly with his back to the door, as if he didn't know anything about it, as if they really They are not familiar with each other, but such a scene makes people feel that there is something different between them.

Back at the newspaper office, just in time to get off work, I went to find Sister Chen to make a job. The little girl went out with other people in the agency, and chatted on the way. Unfamiliar things, other people showed surprised expressions in unison, and couldn't help asking: "Why? It was obviously Yi Xia who watched Mr. Cheng drag Su Liunian away last time!"

The little girl smiled triumphantly: "You don't know that! The last time Mr. Cheng took Su Liunian away he wanted to ask Su Liunian about her friend!"

After saying this, some of those who heard it suddenly realized, and some said with disdainful expressions: "I just said that Su Liunian, apart from being a bit taller, doesn't seem to be able to catch up with Mr. Cheng!" He just frowned and said nothing.

A few days later, we had a dinner in the club, and we went to an excellent hotel. The government paid for it, so we could have a meal for nothing. Few people in the club asked for leave, and we went together in Fleeting Years, not because of a high-priced meal. Dishes are the same wherever a person eats.

After entering the hotel, Fleeting Nian seemed a bit awkward among the group of people. Most of the others gathered to discuss things in twos and threes, but no one dared to greet Fleeting Nian. They always felt that this woman could make Sister Chen take special care of her because she had some background , but she has been in the club for such a long time, and everyone can't figure out her details. I heard that she has a special relationship with Mr. Cheng, and everyone thought they had found the key, but it didn't take long. Knowing that it was just a misunderstanding, it's strange to say, if other people had backing, they would probably have shown it off, but what Su Liunian did was no different from ordinary people, making people wonder if they guessed wrong.

After the president spoke, everyone started to get started. Since his father was the mayor, he often ate these dishes when he was a child. When he saw it now, it was inevitable that some sad memories would be drawn. He lost his appetite after two bites.A person came out of the meeting place. At this moment, most of the other people were eating happily and didn't notice her leaving. She was walking in the aisle, but she didn't expect to meet Cheng Ranyin!

Cheng Ranyin was also a little surprised, and then smiled gracefully: "Liu Nian, I really didn't expect to meet you here."

That's right, she is the downcast former mayor's daughter, and now she is just a small reporter, how can she have the money to squander here?
Liu Nian smiled reluctantly, as a greeting, turned around and was about to leave, but a hand was put on his shoulder: "Liu Nian, why rush to leave? If we have time, we might as well sit down and talk."

"I don't have time." The four words were so straightforward, and the most unceremonious refusal, Cheng Ranyin couldn't help but chuckled after hearing it: "These four words are really your style, if it weren't for these four words, I'm afraid I want to sigh that the power of destiny is really amazing!"

If it was in the past, Fleeting Nian would have responded bluntly after hearing her provocation at the first sentence. How could he not say anything like today and endure it silently?

"Is there anything else Miss Cheng can do?"

Fleeting Year's voice was chilling, but Cheng Ranyin was not affected by it at all, she still asked, "How about going to the coffee shop with me for a while?"

Just as Liu Nian was about to refuse, he heard a familiar voice from behind him: "Cheng Ranyin, what are you messing around with?"

One is someone she doesn't want to meet, and the other is someone she doesn't know how to face. One in front of the other, Fleeting Years is sandwiched between these two people, neither advancing nor retreating.But Cheng Ranyin frowned and said, "Cousin, did you rush over here as soon as you heard that Su Liunian and I met?"

Cheng Ranming raised his eyebrows slightly, as a tacit consent.
