regardless of costs

Chapter 23 Why 1
Chapter 22 Why 1
"Why do you do these things for me? Is it because I gave birth to Xiaoyao for you? Are you compensating me?" Su Xiaomu asked suddenly, as if...she had asked similar questions back then, Asked why he was nice to her, she didn't get an answer at that time, and they broke up quickly.And when she was threatening him to get married, she never considered that they would be so ambiguously entangled, so the showdown was much earlier than she expected, but it didn't matter anymore.

Jing Yan pursed his lips, stroked the mouse with his fingers and clicked lightly, turned off the video and walked slowly to her side.Perhaps it was because she had just taken a bath, and the rich fragrance wafted past the tip of her nose as soon as she approached her nose. This homey appearance without makeup was inexplicably attractive.His eyes could not help but soften, he lowered his head to stare at her, and asked without answering: "Then I also want to ask you, Su Xiaomu, why have you been avoiding me recently?"

He seldom called her name so directly, and the deep voice made her startled.

After going around a circle, the question still came back to her. She was restless, but he was still calm and calm. In an instant, the winner was drawn, and the one who fell in love first was the loser.She was a little disappointed, and laughed at herself for a moment just now... looking forward to it.

She loved him, so she gave birth to a son for him, and she still loves him until now, so she relied on him to get married—is this what he wanted to confirm from the beginning to the end?
"Jing Yan, I am no longer a ten-year-old girl. This kind of guessing game is not suitable for me, let alone you." Su Xiaomu stood up. At this time, her face was calm, and her loose home clothes revealed Her protruding collarbone made the already thin person look thinner, but her eyes were firm and strong.

Jing Yan still sat there without answering, slightly raised his chin and looked at her, silent for a long time.

He remembered that when he was a child, his father was often not at home, and his mother was always with him. She never forced him to complain about his father's bad words, and she only thought of his father's good things until she died.But his character gradually became indifferent, even since then, he never called that person his father.Apart from his mother, Su Xiaomu was the stupidest woman he had ever seen. Not only did she raise her son so well, she never hated him.Perhaps because of this, he always involuntarily wants to care about her and be good to her, but he is afraid that he will sink again. He is very resistant to this uncertain feeling.

Uncomfortable being looked at by him, Su Xiaomu turned his eyes away and heard his own voice saying: "Let's make a deal, Xiaoyao's custody belongs to you, and I don't want to dispute it." For her life, she voluntarily gave up the custody of her son?
After hearing her words, Jing Yan narrowed his eyes, and his expression became serious: "What's the end? We haven't really started yet..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the automatic answering machine in the study.

Wang Hao's voice came through the air, and his tone was very urgent: "Boss, it's not good, something serious happened, you should go back to the company quickly. Because of the integration of resources and layoffs after the merger, the employees of the company over there organized demonstrations and protests, and even Some people sneaked to the top floor of the company and threatened to commit suicide, and now the media has surrounded the headquarters..."

Jing Yan stood up abruptly, and his black eyes sparkled with unfathomable light: "Who told me today that there are no follow-up problems? What about crisis public relations?"

Wang Hao over there has been unable to get through to the boss's phone, and he wanted to try his luck before calling his home, but he didn't expect to get a response so quickly, so he was taken aback for a moment before he hurriedly said: "Boss, they are already in a meeting to study the most appropriate countermeasures. "

Jing Yan knocked on the table, and ordered in a cold voice: "I'll be right back. You first help me contact the editor-in-chief of the daily. Those who control the scene should be careful not to have a direct conflict with the media, and immediately send a commissioner to deal with the aftermath. Also, you Go tell them to send me your resignation letter if you don't find a way to fix this right away!"

This was the first time Su Xiaomu saw Jing Yan angry. Although his expression didn't change, his face was tense, his fingers were slightly clenched against the table, and his body naturally leaned forward, which was his habit of thinking.

Because of the seriousness of the situation, they quickly ended their conversation. Jing Yan casually picked up the coat on the shelf and walked out. When he was almost at the door, he remembered that Su Xiaomu was still there, so he turned around and said to her: "Our business... wait for me to come back Let's talk again."

When his back disappeared outside the door, Su Xiaomu put away all his precautions, with a shy smile in his eyes, and seemed to be able to take a breath. The death sentence should have been executed immediately, but now the sentence was suddenly changed to a suspended death sentence. The tense mood was like A broken string can never be connected again.She didn't know if she would have the courage to face him like today next time.She had already laid out all the cards in front of him, but he said that they hadn't really started yet, so when he came back, it should be over.That's fine, if she doesn't make it clear, she will definitely drive herself crazy.

Jing Yan didn't come back that day, and the news only roughly reported the whole story.Then they quickly issued a series of resettlement plans, and also announced the debt details of the acquired company, how much money they will inject for asset restructuring and development direction, and some media even listed their company's major mergers and acquisitions over the years. Many companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy have been revived, and the company has also counted the amount of materials donated to the society over the years. All these good news not only preserved its reputation, but also the market analysis was optimistic, and this matter gradually subsided.

But Jing Yan still didn't come back, Su Xiaomu couldn't help but feel a little worried, tried to call him a few times, but Wang Hao answered the phone, and every time he prevaricated her saying that he was still busy, I don't know if he was really not free or didn't want to care about her.Xiao Yao also asked her father's whereabouts a few times, but she had to make up an excuse of a business trip to get past it.

The matter was resolved, and Su Xiaomu knew that nothing could trouble him, but she always felt uneasy in her heart, and couldn't sleep at night. Later, she laughed at herself, why the relationship between the two had become so stiff, she still couldn't help but care his?

A few days later, Manager Ma from the bridal shop called and said that her wedding dress had been flown back to China, and she wanted to invite her to the bridal shop to try it on.She thought it was silly to try on the wedding dress by herself, so she called Xia Xiaoran to accompany her after thinking about it.The girl Xiao Ran met in a cafe and studied music at C University. She is not only beautiful but also sincere. The two of them got along surprisingly well and became friends over time.She has no brothers and sisters, and she doesn't have many friends. The two best friends in the past, one went abroad and the other married to Shanghai. They each have their own lives and are difficult to meet.So she attaches great importance to the friendship with Xiaoran and treats her as her own sister.

Sometimes she can still find her own shadow from her body, she is obviously very fragile, but she has to be strong.

In the bridal shop.

After all, Xia Xiaoran was young, and she couldn't hide her surprise at Su Xiaomu in her eyes. She thought she was married a long time ago, after all, her son was already that old.

Su Xiaomu looked calm, and calmed down the annoyance of her slip of the tongue with a relaxed tone: "It's okay, this is not something shady, anyway, it's just that I had a child out of wedlock and now the child's father came to the door and we are going to get married "Anyway, the marriage formalities have been done, maybe it's time to go through the divorce formalities soon...

Xia Xiaoran was stunned for a long time before saying softly, "Xiao Mu, you are so courageous!"

In fact, Su Xiaomu also felt that no one was more courageous than her, and persisted for a whole ten years, just for a hopeless love.

The wedding dress was even more gorgeous and charming than she had imagined. The round pearl tone, the fluffy and wrinkled skirt was long and dragged to the floor, and it was covered with shiny pearls. It was so beautiful that people couldn't help but hold their breath. With a wedding dress, a woman should get married once in her life, just to wear it.

Su Xiaomu was in a good mood today, with a smile on her face all the time, but before she tried it on, this good mood was ruined by life, just because a few unexpected guests came.

Listening to their conversation in the fitting room should be someone Xiao Ran knew, she shouldn't have interfered, but their words became more and more ugly, and their tone was so arrogant, how could a girl with such a thin skin Xiao Ran stand it Their sarcasm?Although she is not very clear about the grievances between them, Xiao Ran is her friend, and she has no reason not to help.

She changed her wedding dress swiftly and came out, and immediately exploded: "I hope you can speak more politely!"

The other party couldn't hold back, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" Su Xiaomu smiled coldly, and turned to look at Manager Ma, "Manager Ma, tell her who I am!"

Manager Ma made the introduction in a dilemma, and the other party's face immediately changed.

Su Xiaomu breathed a sigh of relief secretly. After all, this was the first time she used the name 'Mrs. It is effective, it seems that Jing Yan's influence in the capital is deeper and wider than she thought.

This farce ended with the arrival of a person. She guessed that such a refined and cold man should be the one Xiao Ran loved.

Perhaps in this world, there are really too many people who cannot be loved.

Later, the two of them went to the bar to get drunk. Su Xiaomu didn't hold a lot of alcohol. Looking at Xiao Ran's appearance, she knew that she was not as good as herself. She was afraid that something might happen. Yan's name, she took Xiao Ran there, at least it was safer.

Xia Xiaoran was in a bad mood. While drinking, she told Su Xiaomu her story intermittently. After hearing this, Su Xiaomu also felt bad. In addition, a lot of things happened to her recently, and Jing Yan had no news for a few days, so The two women hid in the box and drank until the sky was dark, drinking like crazy.

What Su Xiaomu didn't expect was that Jing Yan went home that night, the light in the living room was on, Xiao Yao fell asleep on the sofa, and his aunt stayed by his side the whole time.

He was startled, and couldn't help but look at his aunt, who said to him in a low voice, "Sir, my wife hasn't come back yet, why is Xiaoyao unwilling to go back to the room to sleep, and said to wait for my wife to come back to sleep." This child is probably worried. mother?

He pursed his lips tightly, walked over and wanted to carry his son back to the room, Xiaoyao woke up as soon as he moved, rubbed his eyes, saw that it was his father, and hugged him tightly coquettishly: "Dad? You are finally back?"

Finally... After thinking about it, he had indeed not been home for many days.He frowned more and more, hugged his son more firmly, and asked softly: "Well, what time is it? Why don't you go back to your room to sleep? It's easy to catch cold when you sleep on the sofa at night."

Xiao Yao hugged his neck, bit her lips and said, "I don't want to sleep, my mother hasn't come back yet, I'm worried about her."

His eyes froze, and he was about to call to find someone when he received a call from his subordinates, saying that Su Xiaomu and a friend were drinking in the bar of his clubhouse, and seemed to be drunk.

He told his aunt to take Xiaoyao to sleep, but he rushed there in a hurry, and met a person, Lin Jin.When they entered the private room, Su Xiaomu and Xia Xiaoran were already very drunk, and there were many empty bottles on the table. One can imagine how much these two women drank.

As soon as he got close to Su Xiao Mu Jingyan, he smelled alcohol all over her body. Remembering that the doctor said that she should not touch alcohol at all, his eyes became colder. He picked her up and walked out without saying a word, not caring whether the other two were what's the matter.

Although Su Xiaomu was drunk, she did not lose consciousness. She grabbed Jing Yan's clothes tightly, pointed at his face with one hand, and said drunkenly: "You...how could it be you?" She giggled again, " You came just in time, come, let's have another drink!"

Jing Yan restrained himself from getting angry, and impatiently circled her restless hand: "Try moving around again!"

She immediately shrank her neck, not daring to speak anymore.

When he got outside the door, he carefully carried her into the car, and then he sat in the car. He turned on the voice system and told the driver: "Drive." Then he turned it off casually.

Looking down at Su Xiaomu, she was curled up and leaning against the window, she seemed to be asleep, her long hair that was usually tied up was disheveled, her face was red like a poor abandoned child, he looked coldly He put his coat on her body, thought for a while, and then gently pulled her down to let her pillow on his lap.

Outside the window, the night is getting darker.
