When will the fog clear

Chapter 50 The Weight of Love (4)
"No, no, you are looking for Mr. Chen, right?" Lu Yi quickly realized, and said without giving her time to refute, "Mr. Chen is on a business trip, and he should be on the plane by this time."

"Why in such a hurry?"

Lu Yi thought about it carefully, and then said carefully, "Something happened to the company, and Mr. Chen must deal with it himself."

Lin Miao's heart beat fast: "Is it serious?"

"Probably." Lu Yi also felt a headache, and briefly told Lin Miao that a technology that their company was developing had been leaked, and all subsequent work could not be carried out.

Lin Miao hung up the phone absently, unable to do anything else all day.

Staring at the phone screen, in the evening, the phone rang suddenly, an unknown call, but she picked it up immediately.

"It's me." It was still a familiar line.

Lin Miao didn't speak.

Chen Jizhen was never reconciled to being left out: "I heard from Lu Yi that you are in a hurry to find me?"

This Lu Yi can really "talk".Lin Miao let out a "huh".

Chen Jiti was a little helpless, someone behind him kept urging him, but he was still waiting patiently.

"Miaomiao?"

Lin Miao had already closed her eyes so that she could hear it more clearly. His voice was so close that it seemed to be right next to her.

"You always leave me wondering what to do," she said.

He smiled slightly on the phone: "I should have said that, right?"

"I saw that painting."

"That's all you want to tell me?"

"No, I..."

"I have something to deal with right now. Let's talk about it when I come back. I just happen to have something to tell you." Chen Jizhen hung up the line hastily after saying this.

Instead, Lin Miao breathed a sigh of relief, that's fine.

The music for the first season of Lin Miao and Eric's advertising cooperation project was approved, and the preparations for the second season were in full swing, but she suddenly found that even being busy couldn't bring her back from her flying thoughts. It was all because of Chen Jiti, maybe it was the kiss that was fermenting later, or maybe it was because the painting deviated from her cognition.Lin Miao's self-conceived peace of mind turned out to be an illusion on the waves. It was a temporary safe haven she set up for herself, which was both ridiculous and sad.

She was not indifferent to what Chen Jizhen had done, she throbbed, struggled and felt uncomfortable, and finally chose to escape.She has always known that Chen Jizhen and Gu Huai are different people, and the relationship between her and him is more turbulent, more complicated and makes her more afraid.

Back then when Gu Huai gave up on her, all she did was cut off all the ties between them, and then planned to never communicate with each other, but this didn't work for Chen Jizhen. He knew she would hate him, but he still went his own way. .

She has avoided these years because she doesn't know how to face him, right?After all, her heart has been scarred by deception and betrayal.

In the evening, Lin Miao bathed her daughter. The older the child became, the more tempered he became. He kept playing in the water and refused to take a good bath. Lin Miao was afraid that her daughter would catch a cold. When she said something to her, she pointed at herself and pouted to express her dissatisfaction. This is something that has never happened before, and it seems very impolite.

In a fit of anger, Lin Miao stared at her and said a few words to her. She cried out, slapped herself away and clamored to find her father. Soon his heart softened again, and the sweetheart coaxed non-stop, so to speak, the little girl finally calmed down.Under the pressure, Lin Miao rubbed her swollen eyebrows. Early education is not an easy task, and it cannot be accomplished overnight. In the past, in Switzerland, my daughter was still young, and Ann could help her with ideas. When I come back here, I can only rely on myself up.She suddenly thought of Chen Jizhen. Although Hengheng was clingy to her, she listened to him even more.

Parents and parents, since Nuwa created human beings, men and women are doomed to be inseparable.

Little girl Chen Yingheng was not as deep as the adults thought. After she cried, her troubles disappeared, and she started to make troubles around again. Who said girls are cute?
Lin Miao saw her running to pick up her bookcase, and tiptoed her buttocks to take down the things she deliberately put on high, so she was anxious and angry: "Hengheng, don't touch mother's things, come here quickly!" , Didn’t you say you want to watch cartoons?”

However, Hengheng had already pulled a corner of a book, and when Xiaopang pulled his hand, everything on it fell down like a domino effect.

Lin Miao just put down the remote control and ran, and hurriedly pulled her daughter to watch it again and again, muttering: "I told you to stop making trouble, you are not obedient!" Annoyed her for making trouble, but she was even more afraid that she would be hit.

Heng Heng giggled, pointed to the ground and shouted, "Father!"

"Your father is on a business trip!" Lin Miao said angrily.

"Father, mother, what about me?" Heng Heng still insisted on looking in a certain direction and said.

Only then did Lin Miao follow her small black eyes to look at a small notebook lying among the messy things on the floor. The inside pages were flipped open, and it was a photo of Lin Miao and Chen Jizhen, which was not very big. , but the red background is very conspicuous, it is actually their marriage certificate.

Lin Miao's eyes froze, Hengheng didn't know why, so she wanted to reach out to grab it, but was stopped by Lin Miao, picked it up first and put it away, and now she didn't want to clean it up, so she rushed back to the room to sleep with her.After finally waiting for the child to fall asleep, Lin Miao didn't feel sleepy at all.I bent down and tidied up the spilled things little by little, leaving only a marriage certificate.She and Chen Jitang each had a copy, which was put together at the beginning, and then some messy things happened, she wanted to divorce, but Chen Jizhen didn't want to, and took his copy away.She brought a lot of things back to China, and for a moment she forgot that they were among the piles of books.

Touching the small cover, Lin Miao returned to that time in a daze. Her father and Chen Jizhen talked about something, and soon agreed to their marriage, and then they went to register.At that time, she still thought that this photo made her foolish, but Chen Jizhen kept saying it was beautiful, and it was only then that she remembered that they didn't seem to have any serious photos taken together.This seems to be the only one and the most official one.In the photo, Chen Jizhen still didn't smile much, but his eyebrows and eyes looked very gentle.

Lin Miao closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time.Suddenly, the cell phone rang suddenly in the night, forcing her to open her eyes.Usually, a call at such a late hour is an urgent matter.There was no number displayed, so Lin Miao picked it up after being startled.The other party didn't speak for a while, and only heard a slight breathing sound, which could make people judge that someone was there. At first, she thought it was some kind of harassing call, and if she wanted to hang up, the other party opened her mouth.

"I thought you were asleep." She should never forget this voice.

Lin Miao took a breath, subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the wall clock, pointing to one o'clock in the morning, it turned out that it was already so late, she gave a soft "hmm".They were silent for a few more seconds.

"I'm at a party."

"Have you been drinking?" She did hear the uproar.

He smiled: "I want to drink some, I'm happy."

"Why are you happy? Everything is settled?" Lin Miao remembered what Lu Yi said about why he was on a business trip.

"That's it."

Lin Miao didn't know much about his business, and couldn't say anything on the phone, so she said, "Then take care of your health and rest early."

"I've committed a heinous crime...don't you even want to talk to me for a while now?" Chen Jizhen's tone was flat.

He has always been strong, but Lin Miao can still hear his dissatisfaction and grievance from this sentence.Just like Hengheng just now, the father and daughter are exactly the same.Maybe it was because she felt that her concern seemed perfunctory.

Lin Miao was so choked that she paused and said, "No."

"Lin Miao, I have never regretted anything, because I never gave myself a chance to regret it." He changed the subject, making Lin Miao confused.

"What do you want to say?"

"You'll know soon, it's late, go to bed." He hung up the phone again.

In another night sky separated by jet lag, a lively wedding party is being held.

Chen Jizhen was holding a mobile phone in one hand and an empty goblet in the other, with a lonely expression that didn't fit in with the liveliness of the environment. The groom was his classmate, so he happened to know that he was here on a business trip, so he sent him an email.

He took a sip of the wine, which should have been mellow, but now it could only taste bitter.He didn't know why he made this call. He thought she wouldn't answer it with this point.The fact is that she took it.He knew that there was no way to undo a lot of things after he had said them, but he swallowed them when they reached his lips. It was really not his character to procrastinate, but he still did that.

The liveliness in front of him was a bit ironic to him. He had chosen many wedding venues, imagined what kind of wedding he should hold, and what she would look like as a bride, but unfortunately none of these things came true.After all these years of fetters, I got a result that no one was satisfied with.

The only consolation is Hengheng, he doesn't regret having this child.There is a decision that should have been made a few years ago, and it is his selfishness that has been procrastinating until now.

Lin Miao kept thinking about Chen Jizhen's inexplicable phone call, but couldn't think of a reason.It's not easy to ask Lu Yi when he will come back, just keep hanging in his heart.

Two days passed like this.

However, Lu Yi called her first and asked her to meet, his tone seemed to be urgent.Lin Miao happened to be in the studio, so he asked him to go downstairs. Lu Yi didn't care about anything else, so he invited her into the car and explained to her while letting the driver drive.

It turned out that he was in a hurry to ask for a letter of authorization from Chen Jiting. Chen Jiting originally planned to come back last night so that there would be no delay, but he temporarily changed his itinerary and only boarded the plane today.

"Then I can't get his authorization." Lin Miao still couldn't understand.

Lu Yi said: "Mr. Chen has not answered the phone, I sent him a message, and he just got back to me before boarding the plane." By the time he came back, the statute of limitations had passed.He showed Lin Miao the content of the text message conversation.

Chen Jizhen wrote in the first article: I signed a copy originally and put it in the safe. You can ask Hengheng's mother to bring it to you.

The second article reads: Don't bother her, just forget it if you can't catch up.

Looking at the time interval, it is only 1 minute before and after.

Lu Yi said that this power of attorney seems to be related to a big business game. If Chen Jizhen hadn't gone on a business trip temporarily for the technical leak and changed his itinerary, there would have been no such problem.

But in order not to "trouble" her, Chen Jiti didn't seem to care about success or failure.

After Lin Miao read the text message, she didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart.

"Must I get it today?"

"Yes, after I get the power of attorney, I have to fly to Beijing immediately on behalf of Mr. Chen." Lu Yi told her concisely.

Lin Miao thought about Chen Jizhen's safe. It should be the one in his apartment. If Lu Yi was in the company, he wouldn't be looking for her.Then she belatedly discovered that Chen Jizhen didn't seem to hide anything about his privacy and his property. She knew his computer password, bank password, safe password, etc... Even all his movable and immovable properties were married. At the beginning of the registration, the lawyer compiled a list for her, as if she was not afraid of her knowing.

She once joked: "Aren't you afraid that I will remove all your wealth?"

Without even looking at her, he said, "It's up to you, just leave yourself alone."

At the time, I thought it was sweet, but later I thought that it was meaningless to move away his property even if I kept it. He would not suffer at all.But thinking about that sweetness now makes her eyes sore, how difficult it is to be separated from a person who knows all the secrets of each other.

"Let me try it." Lin Miao said.

For this matter, Lin Miao once again stepped into Chen Jizhen's apartment, feeling as if he had passed away.This place holds so many memories.

Lin Miao could find the place with her eyes closed, and the house number and password were not changed. Everything here is the same as in memory.

Although she knew the password of Chen Jizhen's safe, she had never opened it. She only knew that the safe was in Chen Jizhen's study, but things that were too valuable were generally not kept at home. According to Chen Jizhen, the safe was for storing some documents.

Lin Miao only entered the study room once. At that time, the relationship between her and Chen Jizhen was still tense, and it was not very good. She broke in once by accident, and was kicked out by him without seeing anything, and never went in again. , even if their relationship got better later, they still never set foot there. His study and her piano room are two separate worlds.Perhaps at that time she never thought of blending into his world and knowing everything about him.After moving to Basel, it was even less necessary.

Just now she couldn't help taking a look, the piano room was still there, the piano that came from climbing the mountains and wading through the water was still there, it was still spotless to the touch, someone should have taken care of it regularly.

Lin Miao stood at the door of the study, hesitating for a long time.Lu Yi was a little anxious. He knew that there was some discord between the husband and wife, but it was not worth giving up the case that he had been working on for so long. Even at the risk of being scolded, he still found Lin Miao.

"You..." Lu Yi was about to say something.

Lin Miao had already unscrewed the door.Lu Yi waited outside the door knowingly, watching her walk in.

This study room is larger than the piano room, and the corner walls are covered with books that can touch the top, but this is not the place that attracts Lin Miao. She found an exquisite shelf next to the bookcase, giving people the feeling of It was added later, which is very eye-catching.

It's all music CDs.Chen Jizhen said that he doesn't understand music, but what are these.

Soon Lin Miao knew that she was extremely familiar with every disc and every piece of music, which she had learned, loved and played.

Looking at such a small corner, there was no need to ask her heart, tears flowed from her already sore eyes.This is not the deadliest.Among a pile of discs, there is also a small sketchbook with fluffy corners and an old title page, obviously used frequently.She couldn't help opening it to read it. Even though she had a faint premonition because of those albums, she was still shocked by the pages of her own sketches. She is also all different.

She didn't know any of this.Just like when he told himself that he wanted her, she suddenly caught her off guard.

Lin Miao's palms ached from the loose-leaf buttons of the sketchbook.

She sniffed, and squatted in front of the shelf for a while, but couldn't recover, and she didn't even feel that her legs were numb.Surprisingly, Lu Yi didn't urge her any more.

She was there, silent, and then silent, even if she was crying, she was just shedding tears, without any sound.

Such a long time.The safe was behind the desk. After Lin Miao calmed down, she opened the small box from memory.The secret has not been changed.When she opened it, she seemed to open her own heart.

Sure enough, there were some paper documents in it. Because of the lack of light, Lin Miao simply took them out, and then went to find the authorization letter that Lu Yi wanted.Unexpectedly, the first document she opened was a document related to her—the divorce agreement.

Those big characters made Lin Miao's hands tremble, and the pieces of paper scattered all over the floor.

Didn't he always disagree with the divorce?Why did you accept this thing?However, before Lin Miao had time to think, she heard Lu Yi knocking on the door, very urgently, and then opened it and rushed in without waiting for her to open the door, which scared Lin Miao who was still in a daze.

"What's wrong? I haven't found the file you want yet." Lin Miao had just cried, her voice choked up, and she spoke extremely fast to cover it up.

Lu Yi's complexion was not good. She thought he had been waiting for a long time, but he said, "That's not important! Now calm down first, and then listen to me."

Lin Miao was still in a daze, what else was she not calm about?I've seen the divorce papers.

But later I realized that these were far from enough.

Lin Miao waited for Lu Yi to speak, but he still refused to speak again, as if he couldn't bear it, his brows knit into a peak, in a dilemma.

"Hey, you...you'd better watch it yourself." He unlocked the phone he was holding tightly and handed it to Lin Miao.

Lin Miao took a look and found that it was a piece of news.

It's just that the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became. After seeing the words plane, malfunction, and hovering, she couldn't get rid of it.

Lin Miao raised her eyes and looked at Lu Yi: "What is this?" As soon as the words came out, she felt that the voice didn't belong to her.

Lu Yi would not show her irrelevant news.
