my old life

Chapter 2264 A Different Kind of Reunion

Mr. Da has already left, and Fo Qianxiao is still sitting there looking at the sea, as if he is out of place with this beach dinner.

The quiet night is spreading silently, and the beach party is full of singing and dancing. This is a world where the rich enjoy themselves.

There is no frown under the colorful lights, no complaints about life in the world of feasting and feasting, and there is no exhaustion and rush of life in the long and wafting music.

I used to hope that I could become strong, that I could enter the upper class, that I could live a prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing...

When this moment is really in front of you, it is so boring, because at this moment, there are no friends to toast with, and no simple and plain feelings to accompany you.

I never expected to have a big relationship, I never expected to have a group of friends around me, and no one ever asked me what I wanted...

Looking at everything in front of me, I fell into deep thought, who am I living for in this life?What exactly do I want?
Is it an endless responsibility?Or endless revenge?
Looking at the back of Buddha Qianxiao, I really wanted to go up and say hello, but after much deliberation, I decided to forget it. Sometimes not meeting is the best choice.

"Hawkeye, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time!" Jennifer suddenly appeared, and I raised my eyelids to take a look.

"I want to be alone."

"You don't like this party?"

"Maybe I was tired last night."

"Mike asked you to come over for a drink, and he wants to introduce you to some friends."

"Forget it, I'm not familiar with the place here, and it's useless to know... Is there any gambling tonight?"

I took the initiative to change the subject. Before I came here, no one said there was a gamble, but judging by the current situation, it must be a gamble.

"Of course, otherwise you thought we were here to drink?" Jennifer said it as a matter of course, and instantly confirmed my guess.

"I'm not feeling well, can you give me a room to rest for a while?"

"Okay, you come with me."

I stood up and patted the sand on the ground, and glanced at the back of the person gazing at the sea from a distance. I really don't know what made her become the character she is now.

In the past, in my impression, Fo Qianxiao was a carefree and informal person, and she was also a fiery and lively person...

At this moment, I feel that she is a bit like Sixteen. If she has too many burdens, she will easily become silent and dare not easily integrate into this world.

I bowed my head and followed Jennifer away quickly. At this moment, I felt like a thief whose tail had been stepped on, and I felt a little inexplicably weak in my heart.

Mike was chatting with a few people, and I caught sight of the guy in the white suit, he stood out so much in the crowd!

At the same time, Mike also saw me, and he immediately waved to me and motioned to me. At this moment, I could only squeeze out a smile and walked over.

"Hawkeye is here and I'll introduce you. This is Mr. Big. He is doing business in your country." Mike introduced enthusiastically, and I knew he had good intentions.

This gentleman looks to be in his 30s, with sharp eyes and a vicissitudes of face, he looks like a well-to-do social person, and there is an obvious burn on the back of his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Big." I politely reached out to shake hands, but Mr. Big smiled and nodded and didn't extend my hand. I retracted my hand in embarrassment.

His action invisibly showed his contempt for me. He didn't pay attention to people of my age at all, so he judged that he was not a panacea character.

"I'm sorry that I rarely shake hands with people, young man, don't take it to heart!" Mr. Da took the initiative to explain, but these words were clearly trying to find a way for Mike.

Mike, as the introducer, must give face. Mr. Da's explanation is not for me, and I know this in my heart.

"Mike, you talk, I'll go back and have a rest first."

"Are you feeling well?" Mike looked at me with concern, and I knew he was concerned about whether I could participate in the gambling game tonight.

"It's nothing, it may be that the sea breeze blows too much, go back and cultivate your spirit."

"OK." Mike turned his head and motioned for Jennifer to lead the way, and I turned and left.

At this moment, I saw Buddha Qianxiao, she went straight to the side of Mr. Da, and at the same time her eyes fell on me.

I am under the gaze of Buddha Qianxiao, but she has no expression on her face and no reaction, as if she doesn't know me anymore.

There was no word or conflict when we met each other, but I felt my face was ugly. I don't know if it was because of the contempt just now or because of jealousy.

As the saying goes, jealousy makes people ugly, and nothing is more embarrassing than being ignored. Maybe this is the attitude of Buddha Qianxiao towards me now.

"What's wrong with you, Hawkeye? You look very bad, are you really okay?" Jennifer turned her head and asked, and I lowered my head and waved my hands.

"I'm really fine, just take a break." I signaled Jennifer to leave quickly, and I don't want to stay here for a second at the moment.

"Okay, you go to Mr. Frank's reception room to rest for a while, and I'll call you in the evening."

"Is there a separate room?"

"You can rest by yourself, when everyone is at the beach, no one will bother you."

"Thank you."

Soon Jennifer took me into the villa of the manor. The structure of the seaside villa is all wood. The taupe-brown wood can't tell what kind of wood it is, but I feel that my face must be the same color.

Entering the villa, I met a person head-on. She was easily recognizable in a golden dinner dress. She was the daughter of Mr. Frank.

"Hi, Miss Binny." Jennifer greeted her proactively, and I nodded my head as a greeting.

"Where are you going?"

"lounge."

"Do you need help?"

"No, no, just take a break."

I took a close look at Miss Binny. She is a very characteristic mixed race, but she looks more oriental.

If it was in the past, I would be happy to say hello to a beautiful woman, but now I am not in any mood, and my whole heart feels like I have knocked over a five-flavored bottle.

When I entered the lounge, I took out a cigarette and lit it. After Jennifer left, I locked the door and turned off the light. The whole lounge was plunged into darkness.

At this moment, I was finally able to breathe a long sigh of relief, and the suppressed emotions disappeared.

I like to breathe in the dark night, I am used to let the darkness surround myself, only this moment can make me truly calm down.

Suddenly the doorknob was turned twice. Could it be that Jennifer just left and forgot to tell her something?
"What's wrong?" I turned on the light and opened the door, and I froze in place for a moment, because the person standing at the door turned out to be Buddha Qianxiao!

The four eyes met me in a daze, I never thought that she would come here, and I also never thought that she would come to the lounge, I don't know if this is a coincidence...

She looked at me blankly, and I quickly moved sideways to get out of the door. After all, this lounge is a public place.

"Xiong Sanming, why are you here?" Fo Qianxiao's tone was cold and without a hint of warmth when he spoke, which made people feel hairy.

"You got it wrong, my name is Hawkeye." After I finished speaking, I turned my head and left, for some reason I didn't want to face her.

"Stop! Even if you turn into ashes, I will recognize you. Why don't you say hello when we meet?" Fo Qianxiao stretched out her hand to block my way, and there was still a clearly visible scar on her arm!

For a moment, this scar stimulated my heart, because this scar was left for me, and the guilt swallowed me in an instant...

"Cough, hello."

"It's just as perfunctory as before."

For a while, I felt that I was not so embarrassed. She didn't show any hostility towards me, and I didn't need to be timid.

"You are the same as before."

"Are you blind?"

"I……"

Buddha Qianxiao's words almost choked me to death. I never thought that meeting each other would be like this, let alone that I would be so embarrassed.

I lowered my head and took out a cigarette and lit it. Fo Qianxiao entered the lounge and locked the door behind her. It seemed that she wanted to talk to me.

"Why are you here?"

"As expected, it's the same as you, here to gamble." I straightforwardly stated my purpose of coming, maybe we will meet in the gambling game soon.

"Grandpa taught you all the skills, we are also friends, are you interested in coming back to do things?"

What Fo Qianxiao said was completely beyond my expectation, her indifference was not pretended, she had changed from the bottom of her heart!

Even though her tone was very gentle when she invited me, even if her attitude was very polite when she invited me, I can feel the change!
This kind of politeness can only be seen when facing strangers. At this moment, they have become strangers to each other, but this may not be a bad thing.

"I didn't do anything for anyone before, and it's the same now." I politely rejected her, bowed my head and took a deep drag on my cigarette.

"Xiong Sanming, I'm very grateful that you didn't have the idea of ​​doing business with the Buddhist family. This is beyond my expectations."

"It's a matter of course, nothing unexpected."

"What surprised me even more was that you didn't kill me. I always wanted to ask you, didn't you want my life?"

"Are these still important?" I asked back. As for the past, there is no need to mention it.

"You're wearing Issey Miyake?" Fo Qianxiao's face suddenly changed, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"That's right, Issey Miyake."

I know this is a misunderstanding, but I can't explain it now, because it will only get darker and darker!

"Aren't you working for Mike the Thief? It was Jennifer, the white ghost, who brought you here just now, right?"

"Oh? You know Mike too?"

"I didn't expect you to mix with them, but everyone has their own ambitions and it's not forced."

Fo Qianxiao's words made me confused, but I didn't ask further, the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward at the moment.

"Meeting here is just a coincidence. You didn't kill me last time, so forget it this time... I will definitely not let you go when I meet you again in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Buddha Qianxiao stood up and left, but there was something different in her determination, as if things were not too bad.

Looking at the back of her leaving, I feel that she has really changed, becoming mature and cold, like a hedgehog with thorns all over her body...
