Chapter 81
Lu Zhengnan didn't leave until early in the morning, and he didn't come back that day, because after standing in the middle of the night, the injury to his right foot became severe, and he had to go to the hospital again.
Chen Ze came to see him, looked at Lu Zhengnan's swollen feet, and asked in surprise: "What's the matter, did you kick the iron plate?"
Thinking of the embarrassing encounter the night before, he couldn't help but smile wryly: "Almost."
Chen Ze was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "Oh, you were beaten by Ye Chuxiao, right?"
Lu Zhengnan became angry from embarrassment: "I want you to take care of it!"
Chen Ze laughed even more wildly, and finally stopped, with a serious look on his face: "Tomorrow, her lawsuit will be judged."
"En." Lu Zhengnan lit the cigarette and took a deep breath.
"Actually, I really want to release water." Chen Ze propped his hands on the railing, his eyes deep: "But the customer is God, and this principle cannot be lost."
Lu Zhengnan gave another "um" and didn't say much.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Chen Zeli got up, and before leaving, he teased: "Actually, I still hope you marry Ye Chuxiao, after all, she is probably the only one in this world who can treat you so badly. "
Lu Zhengnan flew directly to a medicine bottle, but Chen Ze dodged it and quickly slipped out the door.
Leaving Lu Zhengnan sitting alone, he remembered Ye Chuxiao's tears last night...
The next day, the court officially opened.Although the situation has improved, Ye Chuxiao is still nervous, because the result of this time will determine Mi Lier's fate.
When she walked into the hall, she and Chen Ze passed by. He smiled at her and shook his fist, mouthing "Come on".
She ignored him, and knew that once he actually went to court, he would still be merciless, but she didn't blame him in her heart. In these days, although she was still emotionally conflicted, she also understood that apart from professional duties, He has no ill will towards himself.
And Qi Zhen arrived very late, almost one minute before the trial, and came in in a hurry. When he stood on the plaintiff's seat, he glanced at Ye Chuxiao, and she also looked directly at him, without any concession in her eyes.
The judge announced the start, and the lawyers of both sides began to argue fiercely. Chen Ze still presented the same reasons as before, plus one of unemployment, while Lawyer Sun got an important weight - the real estate of Yunshui Pavilion.
The villas there are sky-high prices, even if Ye Chuxiao doesn't work all his life, it's enough to live comfortably.Ye Chuxiao's shortcomings in the fight for custody rights no longer exist.
The situation began to tilt obviously, but Qi Zhen suddenly asked to speak, and the judge allowed it. He stared at Ye Chuxiao and paused every word: "Where did the house come from in such a short period of time?"
Ye Chuxiao's hands clenched the corners of the wooden platform, and she smiled slightly: "It's a gift from my ex-boyfriend."
A ruthless look suddenly flashed across Qi Zhen's eyes, but he didn't speak again...
Ye Chuxiao won.
The court ruled that Mi Lier should be brought up by Ye Chuxiao, Qi Zhen has visitation rights, and will pay monthly support until Mi Lier becomes an adult.
When Ye Chuxiaoping breathed heavily and listened to the verdict, she was so happy that she laughed and cried, but couldn't say a word.
Qi Zhen also didn't say a word, and left with a gloomy expression. Chen Ze caught up with him, and before he could open his mouth, he smiled coldly: "You are also involved in this matter, right? The secret is really tight enough, just wait until the next day." The court caught me off guard."
Chen Ze didn't refute or apologize, but just said lightly: "If she hurts her heart, will you really be happy?"
Qi Zhen's footsteps were slightly sluggish, and then he sped up suddenly, got into the car and left in the dust...
Half an hour later, he appeared in Lu Zhengnan's ward.
Lu Zhengnan was not surprised that Qi Zhen came to look for him, he leaned against the head of the bed calmly, waiting for him to speak.
"Don't you remember what I said at the beginning?" Qi Zhen's mouth curled up: "Or do you think I can say it, but can't?"
"I know you can do it." Lu Zhengnan's eyes were like a silent lake, but he seemed to be trying his best to suppress the undercurrent: "But I can't just watch, she has nothing to fight against you."
"Love is as deep as the sea." Qi Zhen clapped his hands twice, and sat down on the opposite sofa, with a cold look in his eyes: "But between the old man and her, you can choose one, and if you care about love, you have to give up Yi, you can think about it."
"Third brother," Lu Zhengnan was silent for a while, and then called out the title that he hadn't called out for a long time: "Our Lu family is sorry for you. I will pay for this debt. Can you let the old man and Chu Xiao go?"
Qi Zhen's eyes loosened for a moment, but soon, a cruel smile appeared on his lips: "Repay? Do you think it's so easy to pay back? What Lu Zhan owes me is two lives."
He has already called the old man by his name, and his hatred has reached its peak: "A while ago, I really thought about giving up. As long as Chu Xiao and the child come back to me, as long as I have a home again, I want to let go, too. I want to be free, but it's you, I can't be free!"
"I have already separated from Chu Xiao." Lu Zhengnan half closed his eyes, and sighed deeply: "You are right, I really shouldn't have provoked her just to get revenge on you, but now, what you and I did back then Yes, what's the difference? She is the last person who should not be involved in this grievance, let's let her live a peaceful life in the future, shall we? "
"Don't pretend to be noble!" Qi Zhen stretched out his hand and knocked down the plate on the coffee table, and immediately, the fruit rolled to the ground: "If you have experienced my experience in your life, you can't pretend to be noble!"
A nurse heard the noise coming in, and Qi Zhen immediately left angrily.
After leaving the inpatient building, he stood in the cold wind to light a cigarette, but he didn't know whether it was because of the strong wind or the trembling of his fingertips, so he couldn't light it anyway. Finally, he threw the cigarette case on the ground, crushed it hard with his feet, and gritted his teeth. It was too tight, and blue veins appeared on the side of the neck.
The only glimmer of hope left was also shattered.
Even though he knew that he was cruel, he still tried his best to grab the rice grains, and wanted Ye Chuxiao to return to him. Even if she hated him, he was willing to spend his whole life slowly softening her.
He has been alone for too long, and he also wants his family and warm company.
He is the one who really has nothing.
All the strength in his body seemed to be lost in the cold wind, and he sat on the steps like this, with a dull and hopeless expression, as if he was a person who was abandoned by the whole world...
At this time, Shen Ya was excitedly pulling Ye Chuxiao to visit Yunshui Pavilion: "Tsk, a mansion is a mansion, Young Master Lu is really generous."
Ye Chuxiao didn't speak.
"Actually..." Shen Ya turned her head, her voice was soft and hesitant: "I think Young Master Lu is still helping you, otherwise why did he rush to transfer the house to you before this court session."
Ye Chuxiao's heart trembled, it's not like she didn't have such a thought, but... "Then why did he have to break up with me?"
If you really treat her well all the time, why do you have to separate from her?
Shen Ya couldn't answer this question either, she sighed wordlessly.
No longer interested in visiting, Shen Ya accompanied Ye Chuxiao downstairs, the two of them nestled on the sofa, staring at the desolate trees outside the floor-to-ceiling windows in a daze.
In the evening, when Ye Chuxiao was cooking, the doorbell rang suddenly. Shen Ya went to open the door, and when she saw someone coming, her face turned cold: "What are you doing here?"
Chen Ze giggled and shook the wine in his hand: "Don't be so fierce, beauty, I'm here to help Chu Xiao celebrate."
"Bah." Shen Ya didn't appreciate it: "You have lost the lawsuit, so you should hug your client and cry, who wants to celebrate with you."
Seeing that Shen Ya was having a difficult time, Chen Ze stretched his neck to reach in, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Chu Xiao, Chu Xiao, I brought a gift."
Shen Ya was so angry that she scolded him again, there was a commotion at the door, Ye Chuxiao was speechless, so she had to call Shen Ya to let him in.
She sent a message, but Shen Ya had to let it go, and Chen Ze entered the room triumphantly, and rushed towards the dishes as soon as he saw the dishes on the table: "Oh, it's so fragrant, Chu Xiao, you are so virtuous."
"Stop flattering." Shen Ya glared at him viciously: "You stinky men, you all talk nicely, and you play with people when you turn your back."
Chen Ze's eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't make any excuses, he just smiled.
During the meal, Shen Ya still treated Chen Ze coldly, but Ye Chuxiao didn't show too much repulsion, but she didn't say much.
After dinner, it was getting late, Shen Ya wanted to leave, but she was afraid that Chen Ze would not leave, so she had to stay and spend time with him.
It wasn't until nearly ten o'clock that Chen Ze stood up, but instead of leaving, he called Ye Chuxiao: "Let's talk alone, just a few words."
Ye Chuxiao also expected that he would not come to the door without incident, nodded, and went to the study with him. Although Shen Ya was worried, she couldn't eavesdrop, so she had to stay in the living room and wait.
"Chu Xiao," Chen Ze seemed to hesitate for a long time before opening his mouth: "Actually, there are some things that I shouldn't say, so just treat it as my meddling."
She looked at him quietly without interruption.
"Whether it's Mr. Qi or Mr. Lu, although they both hurt you, they themselves...maybe no worse than you." Chen Ze sighed: "They probably have their own difficulties."
"Then tell me, what are their difficulties?" Ye Chuxiao asked suddenly.
Chen Ze was at a loss for words.
"Can't you say yes?" Ye Chuxiao said, "Do you know what I hate the most? I hate myself for being kept in the dark. I am involved in everything, but everything is hidden from me. If you have anything to say, just say it clearly, I will understand what I can understand, I will understand what I can understand, what is this now, do you think I am blind or a fool?"
Chen Ze opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't make a sound. Ye Chuxiao's dark eyes seemed to be able to look into the depths of his heart. He shook his head and smiled, then turned and went out...
It took another half a minute for Chen Ze to come out, and after saying goodbye briefly, he left without even saying a polite word about giving Shen Ya a ride.
Although Shen Ya didn't care about taking his car, she was really afraid of walking the winding mountain road alone at such a late hour, and she was so angry that she complained.Ye Chuxiao advised her to stay here tonight and go to work directly tomorrow morning. She had no choice but to call home and report to her parents.
At night, the two of them lay on the bed and chatted like they did when they were in school.Shen Ya asked what Chen Ze just said, Ye Chuxiao looked at the ceiling in the darkness, and sighed softly: "Help Qi Zhen and Lu Zhengnan explain."
"How do you explain it?" Shen Ya stood up and asked.
"I have a reason to say it." A faint wry smile appeared on Ye Chuxiao's lips: "But I didn't make it clear, it's always like this, they are all like this."
Shen Ya was also silent. After a while, she lay back on the pillow and patted Ye Chuxiao lightly: "It's okay, Mi Lier and I are with you."
"Well, Yaya, you're so kind." Ye Chuxiao hugged her arm with a smile, closed her eyes and muttered in a low voice, "It will get better."
Everything will get better slowly, and the pain will fade after a long time...
The following days were very quiet, Lu Zhengnan did not appear again, Qi Zhen did not appeal, and even Chen Ze disappeared.The lawsuit was completely over, and Ye Chuxiao began to focus on looking for a job again.
But it was still not going well. She became more and more anxious every day, and even began to think that if she really couldn't be a designer, she could just find another job to make ends meet. He didn't dare to let go of every opportunity, and in the end he leaned tiredly on the chair, rubbing his forehead and worrying.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a new email displayed on the page. She was overjoyed and opened it quickly, but it was from Monica.
Since the end of that training, they have not had much contact with each other except occasional mutual greetings during festivals, but today's email reads:
I'm going on a business trip to the ancient city tomorrow, so I'll get together if I'm free.
Thereafter, the time and place of meeting are also attached.
Monica still wanted to see her when she came here, Ye Chuxiao was very happy, and immediately replied to the email, saying that she would definitely go.
A few minutes later, Monica came in another email, just two simple words - "OK".
Her style is like this, seemingly indifferent, but actually has warmth inside.Ye Chuxiao smiled, feeling much better, and turned off the phone to sleep.
The next day, Ye Chuxiao left as promised, but unfortunately encountered a traffic jam when she was about to arrive. Seeing that the time had passed, she couldn't care less, so she got out of the car and ran all the way.
When she entered the lobby of the hotel, she was out of breath. Just as she was about to ask the waiter which direction the cafe was in, she saw Monica surrounded by people coming out from the other end of the corridor, and the person walking beside her was none other than Tang Xixi.
Where there is Tang Xiqian, there must be her own right and wrong, not to mention that she had such old grudges in the training class back then, of course she will take the opportunity to avenge her now.
Ye Chuxiao's mood dimmed a bit, and she suddenly didn't want to go any further, but just when she was about to turn around and leave, Monica saw her, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then she raised her hand to greet her: "Chu Xiao, here you are."
Ye Chuxiao was startled, but walked over with a smile, and Monica immediately introduced to the people next to her: "Mr. Fang, this is my student, Ye Chuxiao."
Not only Ye Chuxiao herself, Tang Qianqian and the others around her were all stunned in amazement for an instant.
As we all know, no matter how others try to make connections, Monica never says who is her student.
Tang Qianqian was so jealous that her face was blue, but she still approached the conversation with a stiff smile: "Mr. Monica, you are biased, aren't we also your students?"
But Monica didn't give her half face, and didn't answer the phone at all.
Tang Qianqian got even more bored, and secretly gave Ye Chuxiao a hard look.
Seeing that Monica treated Ye Chuxiao so kindly, Mr. Fang naturally became more polite to her. When he entered the private room and took a seat, he specially arranged Ye Chuxiao on the right side of Monica, facing him.
From the conversation during the dinner, Ye Chuxiao knew that Monica came to the ancient city this time to design another hotel owned by Mr. Fang. Listening to their talk, thinking of her current situation, she couldn't help feeling envious and sentimental.
But at this moment, Monica suddenly mentioned her: "Chu Xiao has her own unique style in the design of the hotel, can Mr. Fang let her participate?"
As soon as this remark was made, the other people on the table were silent. Tang Qianqian's eyes almost burst into flames with hatred, but she didn't dare to flare up, so she had to lower her head and tear the tassel on the napkin vigorously.
At that moment, Ye Chuxiao almost didn't know how to react, and stared at Monica in a daze.
Monica didn't seem to see it, and asked Mr. Fang again: "Do you agree with this suggestion?"
She is a well-known expert, and she recommended her repeatedly so grandly, Mr. Fang couldn't refuse, and nodded with a smile: "Of course, your student, I have nothing to worry about."
The matter was settled here, Monica toasted Mr. Fang, turned around, and touched Ye Chuxiao again without saying a word.
With red eyes, Ye Chuxiao raised her head and drank the glass of wine.
When the banquet ended, Monica said goodbye to the others, but left Ye Chuxiao behind.
"Have you had a hard time?" She asked softly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Ye Chuxiao's nose was sore, she held back her tears, and shook her head: "It's okay."
"Tang Xixi told me everything about you." Monica patted her on the shoulder: "But in my opinion, that's not your stain, it's just a precious place. A girl can go through such a difficult time alone. The road is not easy."
"Teacher..." Ye Chuxiao choked up and couldn't speak.
Monica smiled warmly: "This project, you have to do it well, don't lose my face, you are the first student I really admit."
"I will." Ye Chuxiao nodded sharply.
"If you don't, you will come." Monica held her hand tightly: "The worst has been experienced, and the rest is good luck."
From that day on, Ye Chuxiao was extremely busy. Although Monica treated her well in private, she was extremely strict at work, and she was not allowed to make any mistakes in details.And Ye Chuxiao originally had Yuqiang's stronger personality, so he would rather work a hundred times harder to keep up with her rhythm.The two people worked together in such a way that they collided with many sparks of inspiration, and the design plan they made made everyone amazed.
Mr. Fang, who had some doubts about Ye Chuxiao's ability, no longer dared to underestimate her. Instead, he often praised her as a rising star in some public places. Coupled with the status of Monica's disciple, her name became more and more known .
Tang Qianqian really gritted her silver teeth with hatred, but there was nothing she could do.
Ye Chuxiao herself doesn't care much about these external evaluations, she just concentrates on the project, and often stays up late, just sleeps on the sofa in the studio, wakes up and continues to work.
In the end, even Monica couldn't see her eyes anymore, and she was driven home to rest, so she took a day off and returned to Yunshui Pavilion.
After taking a bath, changing clothes, cleaning the house, she was lying on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep because her nerves were tense for too long, so she had to get up again, and sat by the window with her knees hugged, watching the white snow scene outside .
The Chinese New Year is almost here, and since the beginning of summer this year, life has been like a roller coaster, and it may be completely turned upside down at any time, but fortunately, it has finally survived.She sighed, raised her hand, and wanted to write on the misty glass.
But the fingertips stopped for a long time, but in the end only a dot fell, like a full stop.
A full stop symbolizes the end.
This entanglement finally came to an end.
Maybe everyone needs a new start, and then keep going, no one should look back.
That's probably the best ending.
After staying for an hour, she packed up her things and went back to the studio.
"Hey, you are young and don't know how to cherish yourself, what should you do if your body is exhausted?" Monica blamed.
Ye Chuxiao stuck out his tongue mischievously: "Teacher, I'm going back, I miss you so much that I can't sleep, just let me stay with you."
Monica laughed: "Okay, stop talking nice things to coax me, if you say you are on vacation today, you must take a vacation, let's just go out for a stroll together and relax."
"Okay." Ye Chuxiao happily agreed, and followed her out.
Monica likes to travel, but she has been busy since arriving in the ancient city, so she didn’t have time to go sightseeing. After all, Ye Chuxiao has lived here for many years, so she is a good tour guide. He took her to see the famous twin towers and ancient palaces, and led her to walk around the streets Alley to eat snacks.
When they came out of the Folk Street, the two of them were too full to walk, and sat on the stone chairs in the square, joking with each other.
Suddenly, Ye Chuxiao's eyes froze. She saw that the person walking out of the white BMW in the parking lot below the steps was Lu Zhengnan, and the door on the other side was also opened at the same time. The beautiful legs of the boots, and then the whole person appeared in the field of vision, slim and charming.
They walked into the mall side by side, their backs matched each other perfectly...
Monica also noticed the focus of Ye Chuxiao's eyes, and asked softly, "Is that man..."
"Yes." Ye Chuxiao understood her meaning, nodded slightly, and turned her eyes away: "But...it's all over."
Monica looked at her in silence for a moment and then said, "After this project is finished, what are your plans?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Ye Chuxiao replied.
"Why don't you just go back to Guangzhou with me and be my assistant. We cooperate very well." Ye Chuxiao was stunned by Monica's words. This is a very surprising opportunity. Being Monica's deputy means that in the future, The industry will surely have a smooth road.And she understood that the reason why Monica suggested this was because she was considerate of the injuries she suffered in this city, and wanted to help her change her environment and start over.
"Thank you, teacher." With warmth in Ye Chuxiao's eyes, he got up and took her arm: "Let's go."
Monica didn't say any more, patted the back of her hand lightly, and left with her...

Lu Zhengnan didn't leave until early in the morning, and he didn't come back that day, because after standing in the middle of the night, the injury to his right foot became severe, and he had to go to the hospital again.

Chen Ze opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't make a sound. Ye Chuxiao's dark eyes seemed to be able to look into the depths of his heart. He shook his head and smiled, then turned and went out...
It took another half a minute for Chen Ze to come out, and after saying goodbye briefly, he left without even saying a polite word about giving Shen Ya a ride.
Although Shen Ya didn't care about taking his car, she was really afraid of walking the winding mountain road alone at such a late hour, and she was so angry that she complained.Ye Chuxiao advised her to stay here tonight and go to work directly tomorrow morning. She had no choice but to call home and report to her parents.
At night, the two of them lay on the bed and chatted like they did when they were in school.Shen Ya asked what Chen Ze just said, Ye Chuxiao looked at the ceiling in the darkness, and sighed softly: "Help Qi Zhen and Lu Zhengnan explain."
"How do you explain it?" Shen Ya stood up and asked.
"I have a reason to say it." A faint wry smile appeared on Ye Chuxiao's lips: "But I didn't make it clear, it's always like this, they are all like this."
Shen Ya was also silent. After a while, she lay back on the pillow and patted Ye Chuxiao lightly: "It's okay, Mi Lier and I are with you."
"Well, Yaya, you're so kind." Ye Chuxiao hugged her arm with a smile, closed her eyes and muttered in a low voice, "It will get better."
Everything will get better slowly, and the pain will fade after a long time...
The following days were very quiet, Lu Zhengnan did not appear again, Qi Zhen did not appeal, and even Chen Ze disappeared.The lawsuit was completely over, and Ye Chuxiao began to focus on looking for a job again.
But it was still not going well. She became more and more anxious every day, and even began to think that if she really couldn't be a designer, she could just find another job to make ends meet. He didn't dare to let go of every opportunity, and in the end he leaned tiredly on the chair, rubbing his forehead and worrying.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a new email displayed on the page. She was overjoyed and opened it quickly, but it was from Monica.
Since the end of that training, they have not had much contact with each other except occasional mutual greetings during festivals, but today's email reads:
I'm going on a business trip to the ancient city tomorrow, so I'll get together if I'm free.
Thereafter, the time and place of meeting are also attached.
Monica still wanted to see her when she came here, Ye Chuxiao was very happy, and immediately replied to the email, saying that she would definitely go.
A few minutes later, Monica came in another email, just two simple words - "OK".
Her style is like this, seemingly indifferent, but actually has warmth inside.Ye Chuxiao smiled, feeling much better, and turned off the phone to sleep.
The next day, Ye Chuxiao left as promised, but unfortunately encountered a traffic jam when she was about to arrive. Seeing that the time had passed, she couldn't care less, so she got out of the car and ran all the way.
When she entered the lobby of the hotel, she was out of breath. Just as she was about to ask the waiter which direction the cafe was in, she saw Monica surrounded by people coming out from the other end of the corridor, and the person walking beside her was none other than Tang Xixi.
Where there is Tang Xiqian, there must be her own right and wrong, not to mention that she had such old grudges in the training class back then, of course she will take the opportunity to avenge her now.
Ye Chuxiao's mood dimmed a bit, and she suddenly didn't want to go any further, but just when she was about to turn around and leave, Monica saw her, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then she raised her hand to greet her: "Chu Xiao, here you are."
Ye Chuxiao was startled, but walked over with a smile, and Monica immediately introduced to the people next to her: "Mr. Fang, this is my student, Ye Chuxiao."
Not only Ye Chuxiao herself, Tang Qianqian and the others around her were all stunned in amazement for an instant.
As we all know, no matter how others try to make connections, Monica never says who is her student.
Tang Qianqian was so jealous that her face was blue, but she still approached the conversation with a stiff smile: "Mr. Monica, you are biased, aren't we also your students?"
But Monica didn't give her half face, and didn't answer the phone at all.
Tang Qianqian got even more bored, and secretly gave Ye Chuxiao a hard look.
Seeing that Monica treated Ye Chuxiao so kindly, Mr. Fang naturally became more polite to her. When he entered the private room and took a seat, he specially arranged Ye Chuxiao on the right side of Monica, facing him.
From the conversation during the dinner, Ye Chuxiao knew that Monica came to the ancient city this time to design another hotel owned by Mr. Fang. Listening to their talk, thinking of her current situation, she couldn't help feeling envious and sentimental.
But at this moment, Monica suddenly mentioned her: "Chu Xiao has her own unique style in the design of the hotel, can Mr. Fang let her participate?"
As soon as this remark was made, the other people on the table were silent. Tang Qianqian's eyes almost burst into flames with hatred, but she didn't dare to flare up, so she had to lower her head and tear the tassel on the napkin vigorously.
At that moment, Ye Chuxiao almost didn't know how to react, and stared at Monica in a daze.
Monica didn't seem to see it, and asked Mr. Fang again: "Do you agree with this suggestion?"
She is a well-known expert, and she recommended her repeatedly so grandly, Mr. Fang couldn't refuse, and nodded with a smile: "Of course, your student, I have nothing to worry about."
The matter was settled here, Monica toasted Mr. Fang, turned around, and touched Ye Chuxiao again without saying a word.
With red eyes, Ye Chuxiao raised her head and drank the glass of wine.
When the banquet ended, Monica said goodbye to the others, but left Ye Chuxiao behind.
"Have you had a hard time?" She asked softly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Ye Chuxiao's nose was sore, she held back her tears, and shook her head: "It's okay."
"Tang Xixi told me everything about you." Monica patted her on the shoulder: "But in my opinion, that's not your stain, it's just a precious place. A girl can go through such a difficult time alone. The road is not easy."
"Teacher..." Ye Chuxiao choked up and couldn't speak.
Monica smiled warmly: "This project, you have to do it well, don't lose my face, you are the first student I really admit."
"I will." Ye Chuxiao nodded sharply.
"If you don't, you will come." Monica held her hand tightly: "The worst has been experienced, and the rest is good luck."
From that day on, Ye Chuxiao was extremely busy. Although Monica treated her well in private, she was extremely strict at work, and she was not allowed to make any mistakes in details.And Ye Chuxiao originally had Yuqiang's stronger personality, so he would rather work a hundred times harder to keep up with her rhythm.The two people worked together in such a way that they collided with many sparks of inspiration, and the design plan they made made everyone amazed.
Mr. Fang, who had some doubts about Ye Chuxiao's ability, no longer dared to underestimate her. Instead, he often praised her as a rising star in some public places. Coupled with the status of Monica's disciple, her name became more and more known .
Tang Qianqian really gritted her silver teeth with hatred, but there was nothing she could do.
Ye Chuxiao herself doesn't care much about these external evaluations, she just concentrates on the project, and often stays up late, just sleeps on the sofa in the studio, wakes up and continues to work.
In the end, even Monica couldn't see her eyes anymore, and she was driven home to rest, so she took a day off and returned to Yunshui Pavilion.
After taking a bath, changing clothes, cleaning the house, she was lying on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep because her nerves were tense for too long, so she had to get up again, and sat by the window with her knees hugged, watching the white snow scene outside .
The Chinese New Year is almost here, and since the beginning of summer this year, life has been like a roller coaster, and it may be completely turned upside down at any time, but fortunately, it has finally survived.She sighed, raised her hand, and wanted to write on the misty glass.
But the fingertips stopped for a long time, but in the end only a dot fell, like a full stop.
A full stop symbolizes the end.
This entanglement finally came to an end.
Maybe everyone needs a new start, and then keep going, no one should look back.
That's probably the best ending.
After staying for an hour, she packed up her things and went back to the studio.
"Hey, you are young and don't know how to cherish yourself, what should you do if your body is exhausted?" Monica blamed.
Ye Chuxiao stuck out his tongue mischievously: "Teacher, I'm going back, I miss you so much that I can't sleep, just let me stay with you."
Monica laughed: "Okay, stop talking nice things to coax me, if you say you are on vacation today, you must take a vacation, let's just go out for a stroll together and relax."
"Okay." Ye Chuxiao happily agreed, and followed her out.
Monica likes to travel, but she has been busy since arriving in the ancient city, so she didn’t have time to go sightseeing. After all, Ye Chuxiao has lived here for many years, so she is a good tour guide. He took her to see the famous twin towers and ancient palaces, and led her to walk around the streets Alley to eat snacks.
When they came out of the Folk Street, the two of them were too full to walk, and sat on the stone chairs in the square, joking with each other.
Suddenly, Ye Chuxiao's eyes froze. She saw that the person walking out of the white BMW in the parking lot below the steps was Lu Zhengnan, and the door on the other side was also opened at the same time. The beautiful legs of the boots, and then the whole person appeared in the field of vision, slim and charming.
They walked into the mall side by side, their backs matched each other perfectly...
Monica also noticed the focus of Ye Chuxiao's eyes, and asked softly, "Is that man..."
"Yes." Ye Chuxiao understood her meaning, nodded slightly, and turned her eyes away: "But...it's all over."
Monica looked at her in silence for a moment and then said, "After this project is finished, what are your plans?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Ye Chuxiao replied.
"Why don't you just go back to Guangzhou with me and be my assistant. We cooperate very well." Ye Chuxiao was stunned by Monica's words. This is a very surprising opportunity. Being Monica's deputy means that in the future, The industry will surely have a smooth road.And she understood that the reason why Monica suggested this was because she was considerate of the injuries she suffered in this city, and wanted to help her change her environment and start over.
"Thank you, teacher." With warmth in Ye Chuxiao's eyes, he got up and took her arm: "Let's go."
Monica didn't say any more, patted the back of her hand lightly, and left with her...
