Sitting in the car, Lucy kept looking at me through the rearview mirror.

She peeped at me like this for a long time before saying, "Zero, don't scare me."

I leaned against the car window: "You just said this in the morning. Tell me something else."

"You have become very strange." She drove the car and stopped looking at me, but focused on the road ahead.

I didn't talk to me because I really had nothing to say.I looked out the window and saw the sign of a bar, so I called urgently: "Stop." Lucy was obviously stopped, and braked urgently, and the screeching sound of the brakes came in. The car just stopped, and I opened the door and got out of the car.

"Where are you going?" Lucy poked her head over and asked.

I had already walked a few steps, but at this moment, hearing her question, I turned around: "My wish tonight is to get myself drunk. How about helping me realize this wish?"

There is a bar sign on the street, we go in, go straight to the bar, order wine, and drink freely.

Here, the atmosphere is lively, alcohol, perfume, cigarettes, US dollars, new coins... all kinds of smells permeate each other, the music is industrial dance music, and the music is like a blunt knife cutting the fragile eardrum. people enjoy.

There are so many people on the dance floor that it is like mixing everyone into a pot of porridge.Among them are many foreigners, and even more locals.No matter men or women, they all have a bitch-like self-promotional expression on their faces.

I drink and watch them dance enchantingly.

Lucy is a child who can play, and disappears in the crowd of the dance floor at once.

I stayed quietly in the corner of the bar, drinking my wine.

I want a night of drunkenness and dreams, and then, starting tomorrow, I will cheer up and fight against my powerful enemy, and be a fool who has been defeated and defeated repeatedly.

****************************************************************
After drinking, I was really drunk. When I drank with people from the Construction Fund, I was only slightly drunk. At this moment, I was really drunk.

And when I was really drunk, I really cried.

I lay on the bar counter, crying, weeping silently, and then my nose was blocked, so I choked.

When Lucy came back, I cried in her arms.

Crying is a good way to vent, this is what my former psychiatrist told me.I was drunk, but I still remembered what the psychiatrist said.

I need to vent, I can't keep my sadness inside.Because I have to keep my heart healthy and strong.

Later, when I was tired from crying, I fell asleep in her arms.

In a daze, I heard Lucy calling me, and I looked up, but unfortunately, I couldn't even see Lucy's face clearly.

"Phone. Answer it?" She asked me.

I nodded heavily, and she handed me the phone.

I put my ear to the receiver, and there was a man's voice, calm and cold: "Call me, what's the matter?"

My mind is in chaos, what's the matter?I don't know what's going on, and I don't know who this man is.

As soon as the phone was lost, I went back to the bar. This time, I was sure that I didn't cry.

But Lucy couldn't see it, she thought I was crying again, and patted me on the back, "Don't cry, don't cry..."

so-called conspiracy

The consequence of the hangover is that I wake up after three days of work the next day, and I have a splitting headache.

When I wake up, my mind doesn't feel like my own.

I climbed out of bed dangerously, and inadvertently saw my appearance in the mirror.

Looking at the horrible face in the mirror, I lost my mind for a moment, and then I smelled the alcohol all over my body.Lucy should have sent me home last night, but I don't remember.

I took a shower, got out of the bathroom, checked the time, and went to work.

Change your clothes, put on makeup, take your bag, and leave.

At this time, I remembered that I should call Lucy.I touched the phone and was about to call Lucy when I saw the missed call notification on the screen.

A dozen missed calls.

Do you like it? They are all from Hu Qianyu.

And last night, I had a call record with Hu Qianyu, but I don't remember that I received a call from him last night.

Now I get annoyed when I see the name "Hu Qianyu", so I quickly cancel the record and take a taxi to the company.

The assistant room is still busy.The boss was away on vacation, but suffered a lot from the employees.Wang Shuwei went to the assistant's room to get the documents once, and after that, the special assistant to the president, like the president, quickly disappeared without a trace.

After a day of work, I sneaked in and checked the funds I had left on hand that I could freely mobilize.

The calculated figure made me feel very sad. In front of this figure, I can only rejoice that I did not touch the batch of European bonds.

Li Huize...

Now, Li Huize is my only hope.

I know that Hu Qianyu has always looked down on this young master Li, thinking that if he can persuade Mr. Li, he will be safe.Hopefully, he underestimated Li Huize's strength.

I never trust others, but this time, I have to be forced to trust Li Huize once.

************************************************** ********
Yao Qianmo came to pick me up after get off work in the evening.

When he called me, I was still holding the computer and watching today's international futures index.

I want to turn the tables now, and I'm all counting on the ups and downs of the futures index.

"How is it? Are you ready?" As soon as I picked up the phone, the other end said like this.

Hearing what he said, I just remembered that today is Lucy's engagement banquet.

Hearing this, I raised my wrist to check the time, only to realize that it was time to get off work.

Everyone around is busy, it seems that I have to work overtime again tonight.But fortunately, I was supposed to be on vacation today, and returning to the company is considered a voluntary help. Now, I don't have to work overtime, and I can leave with my bag.

I left my seat and walked towards the door of the assistant's room: "I have to go home and change my clothes."

There was a moment of silence over there, and then said: "I'm already downstairs in your company. I can send you back to change. After changing, we will go together again when the time comes."

Sure enough, when I went down to the lobby on the first floor of the company, I saw Yao Qianmo's car parked outside.

The low-key car is matched with a high-profile man like him.

He drove me home, and he didn't say much on the way, but when I got home, I asked him to wait in the living room, and he respectfully said, "This is quite messy."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the bedroom.

Indeed, in a hurry this morning, I took off my clothes and changed them all the time. The clothes scattered on the ground at the moment are all clothes that I have no time to clean up. Looking around, it is very messy.

I sigh silently.

This person's inexplicable concern always makes people feel ill-intentioned.

"Wait, I'll come out after I change my clothes."

Saying that, I didn't bother to talk to him anymore, I went straight into the bedroom, and the door was locked.

After changing her clothes, her hair was coiled up, revealing her neck, and her face makeup was still ok, so she didn't bother to put on any more. After filling up the color on her lips, she opened the door and went out.

Yao Qianmo got up from the sofa, looked me up and down for a moment, and smiled: "I have good vision."

I paused, then smiled, but the corners of my mouth were a little stiff: "This dress is really beautiful. Thank you."

I don't care whether his phrase "good eyesight" refers to the clothes or me, and I use this innocuous scene to reply to him.

When he heard what I said, there was a playful look in his eyes. I almost thought he was going to look me up and down again with his chin on his face, but he obediently looked away and said, "Let's go."

***************************
Lucy's engagement banquet was held together with Tony's birthday party at a hotel under Universal's name.

When Yao Qianmo and I arrived, the hall was already full of people in their clothes and temples.Tony is a typical Chinese. Although he has a foreign name, he does not worship foreigners at all in this marriage. The engagement banquet is a traditional Chinese style, with bright red colors everywhere.

I didn't stay long in the outfield, and went into the rest room to find Lucy after a while.

I knock on the door and enter the lounge.At this time, I found that the atmosphere in the rest room was not right.

Lucy and Tony sat on both sides of the couch, their expressions were not very good.

Seeing me, Tony glanced over and nodded towards me as if greeting me.

I also nodded to him, stopped talking, and walked straight to Lucy: "What's wrong?"

Lucy looked up at me, seemed to think for a while before returning: "My father is not coming."

I didn't know what to say, because I really didn't know how to comfort her, so I just stroked Lucy's shoulder silently.Suddenly thinking of Yao Qianmo, I said to Lucy: "But your brother is here."

I thought that Lucy would at least be happy when she heard the news, but in fact, she just forced a smile, and then turned her face again.

I can't help wondering, Lucy usually doesn't care how her father treats him, but this time, does she really expect that so-called father to come to her engagement?
The air pressure here is too depressing, I can only comfort Lucy a few words, and then I have to leave tactfully.

When I was walking towards the venue, I realized that my bag was left in the lounge, so I had no choice but to go back and look for it.

When I arrived at the door of the lounge, I just touched the doorknob with my hand, and was about to push the door in, but unexpectedly, at this moment, from the door which was still opened with a gap, I heard Tony rebuke in a low voice, suppressed: "If you Say a good word for him, we don't need to end this marriage..."

Then came Lucy's voice, eager and ashamed: "Tony, I was wrong, please forgive me? I'm sorry, I won't mention him again, please..."

I've never heard of Lucy begging anyone in such a humble manner, and she felt resentful, and was about to push the door in, but at this moment, a pair of hands stretched out diagonally, grasped the doorknob precisely, and restrained me door opening gesture.

I turned my head to look——

Yao Qianmo.
