If I still remember you in the next life

Chapter 4 Ten thousand diamonds are not as good as a sincere heart

VOL.8
As soon as I got back to Shanghai, my phone rang non-stop.

First, Yan Xiaonan sent dozens of text messages in a row, asking why I didn’t turn on the phone, why my family in Hong Kong couldn’t find me, and where did Zheng Kaiwen die... I didn’t have the energy to explain to her, Just simply replied that I am back in Shanghai.

Then came the phone call from Mom and Dad.

When I left Shanghai for Hong Kong, my parents went to the countryside.Although I also told them that I went to Hong Kong for business, my mother will always be my mother.Who is my mother?Tang Sanzang is the chief disciple of Tathagata Buddhism.If she doesn't ask clearly about everything, she won't let it go.

So my ex-boyfriends and male friends kept everything from her except Jiang Yang.But at this time, facing hundreds of killing orders, I can only go home obediently.

"What's the matter with you and Jiang Yang! How did you hear Yan Xiaonan say that he went abroad? You ran to Hong Kong without saying a word. You didn't go on a trip, and you didn't make it clear to your family. You left for more than a year. It's all nonsense about business trips. Honestly speaking, what's going on? Is there something else you're hiding from the family? How many things are you trying to hide from us..."

My mother was chanting mantras while filling the soup, so I could only bury my head in my meal and give my father a life-saving wink from time to time.

Dad has always adopted a no-things policy with me, so if there is a fire on my body, he will not use a fire hydrant to save me.

"mom--!"

I can only stop her, otherwise it is estimated that the third aunt downstairs will start the broadcast again.My parents still live in a Shikumen house, and the sound insulation has never been good.When I was young, whose child failed the exam, whose child fell in love and broke up early, and the seven aunts and eight aunts upstairs and downstairs were well-informed.

This is also the reason why I insisted on buying a house and moving out, because my parents insisted on not moving out, so I had to move alone, so I moved into Yan Xiaonan's shared apartment.Parents insisted that the apartment building is not lively, and the neighbors have lived in it for most of their lives and have never known each other, so it is not as lively as the alley.

But now I am really afraid of this excitement.

"Oh, now that you're older and your wings are hardened, you think your mother is too wordy, so you can't even ask me a single question..."

"That's not what I meant. I went to Hong Kong for work." I pounded the bottom of the bowl with my chopsticks, feeling so wronged. Thinking of the result of my hard work this year, I felt so wronged that I wanted to cry.It turns out that sometimes, work can't give you the right return.

All in vain.

At this time, a large piece of sweet and sour pork ribs suddenly appeared in the bowl. I looked up and saw my father gave me another dish with chopsticks, and then said unhurriedly: "If there is anything to do, let's talk about it after dinner. It's rare for the children to come back for a meal." meal."

As expected, my mother stopped talking, but immediately sighed again: "Luo Xin, it's not that mother wants to talk about you. But you are not young anymore, you are almost thirty, and a woman is 30 years old. If you want to get married by then It’s hard to be good. You don’t have to choose from thousands of choices, and your own conditions may not be very good. What will you do when you miss the good time? Parents are old, who will take care of you in the future, and you have such a stubborn temper. Don't even think about it, who will take care of you when you get sick in the future, don't you want to be alone for the rest of your life..."

I put my head down on the rice, but the grains of rice were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't eat them no matter what.

I know that my mother is telling the truth. Although she recites scriptures from the age of 25 to the present, it has no effect on me at all.It's not that I don't understand this truth, but it's impossible for me to just find someone and get married.It's not that I don't want to get married, it's that Jiang Yang doesn't want to marry me.

How can I say it?

"Don't think mom is wordy, you are 30 years old, and your job is still so unstable. You don't even have a good partner..."

"Mom," I suddenly raised my head and said, "Why are these ribs so salty?"

"Is it salty? A little, maybe too much soy sauce..."

Mom immediately turned her attention to the sweet and sour pork ribs.

This trick has been tried and tested, and my mother's mind is so simple that she can only focus on one thing, so the issue of ribs and my marriage can only be paralleled in her mind, regardless of high or low.

Dad looked at me and smiled. I succeeded and stuck out my tongue at him.

At this time, the third aunt's voice suddenly came from downstairs: "Mom, someone is looking for your daughter."

Mom's attention suddenly shifted from the sweet and sour pork ribs, she rushed to the door and looked downstairs, and responded, "Why?"

"I know." The third aunt walked up the narrow stairs slowly knitting a sweater, and said in a low voice: "It's a man, he looks good, he looks like he always has money, and he drives here. Isn't it Your daughter's boyfriend?"

"How could it be?" I know that although my mother said so, I don't know how much I hope it is.

"I'll go down and have a look." I took the opportunity and ran downstairs quickly to find out what happened, and when I rushed to the entrance of the alley, I saw a black Audi parked there.

A person leaned against the door, sparks flickering in his hand.

Zheng Kaiwen.

The aunts at the entrance of the alley seemed to see Chow Yun-fat, and they couldn't restrain their inner excitement, pointing fingers at Zheng Kaiwen.

Seeing me running out, an enthusiastic aunt immediately said, "Ninny, is he your boyfriend?"

"No." I firmly denied. "It's my boss."

"Oh..." There was a sigh of relief from the aunts.

Zheng Kaiwen saw me coming, took out the ashtray and extinguished the cigarette, smiled at me and said, "I heard that you have returned to Shanghai..."

I grabbed him and quickly walked out of the alley.

"Let's go outside and talk."

Zheng Kaiwen nodded to the driver, signaling him to drive away first.As expected, it was Akun who drove the car. This guy is really an extremely loyal follower.

"Why are you looking for me?"

I finally got to the main road, out of the surveillance range of my seven aunts and my eight aunts, and then I dared to speak loudly.But I didn't notice that my tone was so unpleasant and unfriendly, which seemed to startle Zheng Kaiwen.

"It's nothing." He deliberately acted calmly, and said, "I just heard that you are back, and I just came to Shanghai to do some business, so I stopped by to see you."

"By the way?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at him.

By the way, he can know where my parents live, which is too convenient.

"Yan Xiaonan looked for me, and she asked me what happened to you. She yelled at me viciously, and then told me that if she didn't find you and saw that you were safe, she would definitely hack me to death with a knife. I was really scared. So I found your place in Shanghai." He smiled and said it so casually.

God knows how hard it is to find this kind of Shikumen house, not to mention that I have never registered my old house.

He kept going, and I could only follow him.For a moment, it seemed to be back when I was in Central again. I followed him. At that time, I thought that I would follow this person for the rest of my life, forever... But now, history has proved that it was just an absurd vow made by myself and myself, just like All vows are the same.

He doesn't know, never will know.

Just as Jiang Yang would never know how much I hoped to be with him forever.

In fact, some things have passed, so they should pass, erase it, erase it like chalk writing.

"What's wrong with you?" Zheng Kaiwen suddenly turned and looked at me.

Only then did I realize that I had already shed tears without knowing it.

"It's okay." I wiped my tears vigorously. I was so disappointed that I let him see me crying.

He asked me softly, "Did I cause you trouble?"

I shook my head, and we continued walking, and after a while, I said, "How are things going with you?"

"It's almost done. Everything that needs to be settled has been settled. I thought I would go to you after everything is done. I didn't expect that when I returned to Hong Kong, you had already left. The landlady said you left in a hurry. It was Cage who I called and I found out that you have returned to Shanghai."

"It's fine." I said casually.

"How are you? Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No need." I stopped, looked at him and smiled, and said, "It's really no need, Shanghai is where I grew up, but it's the place where you need anything, you can ask me for help."

He nodded with a smile and we continued walking in silence.

I look at him from time to time, his sharp-edged face, his straight nose, and the corners of his mouth that seem to be smiling but not smiling.A sudden burst of sadness in my heart, I thought of what he had said to me.

"Liang Luoxin," he suddenly looked at me and said, "If I ask you to stay, will you stay by my side?"

"what?"

He smiled, turned his head and walked forward before I could answer.

What does that sentence mean?I didn't have time to think, so I could only walk quickly to follow.Before we knew it, we had reached the bank of the Huangpu River. He stopped and said to me, "Anyway, if you need help, just ask. I will stay in Shanghai for a while."

I nodded, only to realize that Akun's car had been following us.He walked over, opened the car door, looked at me and said, "I'll take you home."

"No, I want to walk by myself, anyway, it's not very far here."

I raised my hand to hold down my hair that was blown by the wind, and he suddenly looked at me, lost for a second.

"The wind along the Huangpu River is also very strong, so be careful of catching a cold." He smiled, lowered his head and got into the car.

Yes, the wind along the Huangpu River is also very strong, so be careful not to catch a cold.

I said silently in my heart, watched the Audi car turn around and go away, and finally turned my face away, no longer looking at him.

VOL.9
When I started looking for a job again, it was Yan Xiaonan who gave me great encouragement.

She's the only guy who doesn't ask me what the hell is going on, but just stands by my side and supports me.Although sometimes it is noisy, but when I need to be quiet, she always comforts me just right.If she was a man, I would love her.

"Understood, I will pretend to be a lady."

I stood in front of the mirror and carefully combed the bangs on my forehead.

Yan Xiaonan arranged my clothes behind me, as if she was dressing up for a bride.

"This is the 17th interview, Liang Luoxin, you must work hard!" She made an Ultraman pose behind me.

"It will work," I said to myself.

However, after 16 failures, my confidence was low.It's like after 100 blind dates, it is really difficult to continue with the belief that 101 times will succeed.

I didn't expect that it is so difficult to find a job now, and I can fully experience the coming of the economic crisis at this time.When I went to the interview, facing a lot of young and beautiful juniors and juniors, an old "old woman" like me really didn't have any advantage at all.In terms of salary, before I could speak, it was decided that it must be much higher than that of fresh graduates, so "go back and wait for news" became the most common "decline" I heard.

"Liang Luoxin." The reception lady called my name, I immediately stood up, carefully adjusted the folds of the skirt, and was led into the director's office.

As soon as I entered the door, I was immediately dumbfounded.

That person was sitting far away across the conference table, looking down at a stack of resumes in his hand.The back view is so similar... I was in a trance and I went back to that summer afternoon four years ago, Jiang Yang sat at the long table in the library and read a pile of books. The golden color of the place is beautiful.

I called his name and he looked up and smiled at me.

But now that person turned his face, what I saw was not a familiar smile, but a completely unfamiliar face.This man is perfect, so perfect that it is like a carefully crafted work of art.The watch on his wrist gleamed. If he wasn't the only one in the room, I would have thought he was not an interviewer but a watch model.

"Miss Liang." He saw me not moving, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit."

I must have lost my head, everyone looks like Jiang Yang now.I immediately sat down, gaffe, gaffe.I slapped myself secretly in my heart.

"I looked at your resume. You used to be in the market, but..." He carefully flipped through my resume, as if he was flipping through my life.I was too nervous to speak, not only because it was a rare job opportunity for me, but also because of his tone of voice.

"You seem to have done budgeting and engineering as well?" He looked up at me.

"Yes……"

But I didn't say that on my resume, I didn't write about the things I had worked in Huanyu.That experience, I just want to hide it.How did he know?

"You have a bachelor's degree in marketing management and a master's degree in economics. You should have strong abilities in this area. I believe you will not let me down. Are you willing to work at EMK?"

I froze.Damn it, why did he hire me so easily, or that he wanted to hire all those people outside, so I wasn't missing one.

"Tomorrow if possible." He stood up, straightened his suit, stretched out his hand and said to me, "My name is Du Zeshan, and I am the CEO of this company. You can call me RIMEN. If you have anything to do in the future, report to me directly." That's fine, I'll let my assistant arrange the work for you first."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Du..." I looked at him incredulously: "You hired me?"

"Why, don't you want to?" He asked me back: "Or, do you think the salary conditions you offered are too low."

"no……"

"So you can't go to work tomorrow?"

"No, of course I can."

"Good then, welcome to EMK."

Well, my new company is now EMK, and my new boss is Du Zeshan.

But how and why all this happened, I do not understand at all.On the first day of work, Du Zeshan showed me all the departments and work processes. Simply put, this is a large group that is not inferior to Huanyu International in terms of size and strength.

And Du Zeshan is the executive president of the East China region of this company. With such a big name, why would you hire someone like me who "has no appearance, no figure, and no style"?
What kind of medicine is sold in his gourd?

The smoother things went, the more I felt a sense of crisis.

"Recently, the company plans to invest in a project in Shanghai. You should be familiar with it." Sitting in the car, Du Zeshan looked down at the computer and said to me, "So, I hope you can help me."

"Me?" I looked at him strangely: "What can I do?"

"A lot." He closed the computer and looked at me.

"I'm afraid I can't do well."

In fact, I have a principle in my work: it's not my job, and I basically don't want to take care of it.Zheng Kaiwen told me that he was an assistant, but in fact he was just a handyman, so he had to do everything.I don't intend to be fooled again.Du Zeshan smiled and said, "If you can't do things, I won't hire you either. I won't spend money to keep a useless person by my side."

I thought for a while and asked, "What project is Mr. Du talking about?"

"It'll be there soon." He stopped talking, and I couldn't ask.

The car was stuck quietly on the expressway, and I felt a little uneasy, and a hint of ominous premonition welled up in my heart.

Du Zeshan is a very individual person, he rarely appears in the office.However, as soon as it appears, it can immediately make drastic decisions and deployments.Regular meetings never last longer than fifteen minutes, and he can solve problems encountered by people in all departments in an orderly manner.

Although I only followed him for a week, I was impressed by this man's superior IQ and his decisive actions.

Therefore, I couldn't help but suspect that he hired me with ulterior motives.

It's just that I still don't understand, what value am I to him?
"Here we are." As soon as the car stopped, he opened the door and took me out of the car.

I stood there, dumbfounded immediately.

This is a dilapidated piece of land, overgrown with weeds, but even if I am blind, I can recognize it. This is the piece of land that Zheng Kaiwen desperately wants to get—the No. [-] Bund Land.

"I know that you have done it in Huanyu before, and Zheng Kaiwen is also very interested in this land. Although they have decided to withdraw the bid now, I know the hard work he has spent on this land, including the people he once hired, and the land he used. Deployment, I know all about it. So I said a long time ago that you will definitely be able to help me."

"You invited me here just for this project?"

"You don't know that the government has invested a lot of money in this land. This is a big piece of fat, and any businessman would want to take a bite. I don't know why Zheng Kaiwen suddenly gave up. But since he let go I have no reason not to."

He walked to the center of the ruins, stood on a high place, looked up at the sky and said, "You don't know what this project means to me." His back was thin and clear against the blue sky. I was in a daze again, feeling that this person was so familiar.

He looked back at me, but I couldn't see his expression clearly, I was just confused by the outline, so similar figures and outlines.

"Miss Liang, instead of letting your hard work this year go to waste, you'd better do something for me. What do you think?"

I looked at him, my mind was in turmoil.

If I work for him, does it mean that I will betray Zheng Kaiwen.Although he has given up on this project, I don't have the heart if I reveal his past plans and efforts.

"I don't need you to tell me all about his plan. I hired you, not to make you a traitor." He seemed to see through my thoughts, and continued: "You are more familiar with this project, so it will be easier to do it. You don't have to worry, I won't let you do anything that's wrong with your former boss."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked back to me and said, "Betrayal happened once, and there must be a second time."

What kind of person, what kind of intestines are growing in the stomach!I glared at him.

"Let's go." He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Now that you know what your job is, you know exactly what to do. Tomorrow I will take you to a new department and meet new colleagues. "

"Wait a minute." I suddenly called out to him.

"Ok?"

"Do I still have a chance to consider it?"

Du Zeshan looked at me suspiciously: "You still need to think about it?"

"Yes, I need to think about it."

To work with such a treacherous and cunning person, it is impossible not to have a long-term mind.Although Yan Xiaonan often said that I was a bit of a "two", the "two" princess was still a princess after all, and having seen the world, of course there were times when I was not "two".

Du Zeshan bowed his head and thought for a while, then said: "Alright, you should think carefully. I am different from Zheng Kaiwen. I am a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs. I will not be friends with my subordinates. The strictness of work It's not something that ordinary people can bear. Moreover, once the people around me lose their value to me, I will get rid of them immediately."

I was taken aback when he said it so bluntly.

"Think carefully." After he finished speaking, he turned and got into the car.

Oh my God, now I am really a prince meeting a "second" princess.

what should I do?
Facing Du Zeshan, first of all, it must not be Cinderella's dream, otherwise it will become a little white rabbit eaten by a big bad wolf.The second is even less likely to want to take advantage of him.Third, you have to be careful not to be betrayed by him at any time. Fourth... There must be a fourth, I just can't think of it now, I have to go back and think about it, think about it.

I sat in a taxi and looked at the neon lights all over the street.At this moment, the phone rang suddenly.

A number I didn't recognize, I hesitated for a while, and when I answered it, it was A Kun's voice.

"Miss Liang, can I trouble you with something?"

"Huh? Uh... what?"

Akun had never been so polite to me before, and I was really flattered all of a sudden.

"Please go to Room 1607 of JM Hotel."

"Now?" I looked at my watch, it was almost midnight.

"Now, immediately." Akun said anxiously: "Mr. Zheng is there alone, if you see that he is fine, you can go back."

"What do you mean?" I was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "He hasn't returned to Hong Kong yet?"

"We just arrived in Shanghai yesterday."

"So where are you now?"

"I'm going to do something important, please, Miss Liang, I don't know anyone else in Shanghai except you."

"What? What's wrong with Zheng Kaiwen... Hey..."

The phone had already been hung up, and I felt uneasy, and found that the driver was staring at me suspiciously, so I had no choice but to say, "Please, go to JM Hotel."

VOL.10
I rang the doorbell for room 1607 and there was no answer.

I hesitated at the door, what exactly did Akun's words mean... Do I want to go in?

I have nothing to do with Zheng Kaiwen.

My current boss is against Zheng Kaiwen, if I meet him again, what will Du Zeshan think?Du Zeshan made it clear that he was a suspicious and vicious character.If he was so unlucky to be a gangster, he would definitely kill me and quarter my body.Even if he wasn't, I would definitely lose my job because of Zheng Kaiwen.

I thought so, and walked back slowly.

but……

As I got farther and farther away from room 1607, my heart beat faster and faster and became more and more restless.

I finally rushed downstairs to the front desk and asked the front desk clerk to open the door for me.After all my affirmative requests, the manager on duty finally agreed to open the door with me. Are they still afraid of my robbery?
The door lock clicked, and the manager on duty opened the door first and went in.

But I rushed faster than him.

Zheng Kaiwen was indeed in the room.He was lying on his back on the bed, still wearing a suit and tie, and his shoes were still on, with one hand resting on his forehead, his cheeks were burning red, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

The jug on the bedside table was empty, the cup was overturned, and there was not a drop of water.

This guy was so ill and confused that Akun actually left him and ran away alone.

"Miss, do you want to call an ambulance?" Seeing this scene, the manager on duty asked very attentively.

He just stopped me as a robber.

"No, I'll do it myself." After the manager on duty left, I hurriedly settled Zheng Kaiwen, untied his tie, my neck was covered with sweat, and my shirt was sticking to my body wetly. The towel wiped him roughly.I got an ice pack and applied it to his forehead, then took the room card from the bedside table.

He was half awake in a daze, opened his eyes and glanced at me, called out "Luo Xin" in a daze, then turned his head and fell asleep again.

My heart was tangled for a while.No matter how much he usually calls the wind and rain, it is unexpected that there is not even a caretaker around him when he is so sick.People say that high places are too cold, how high can he stand?Even ended up so alone and lonely.No wonder I felt so lonely and cold when I saw his back on Binjiang Avenue that time.

He was still calling my name in a low voice, but I had already turned my head and walked out of the room.

Back home, I cooked a pot of porridge in a hurry.

Yan Xiaonan was woken up by me, looked at me sleepily and said, "It's the middle of the night, what do you cook for? If you're hungry, just order takeaway."

"The takeaway is off work early." I rummaged through the cabinet, but couldn't find any antipyretics. "Xiaonan, where's the cold medicine?"

"I'm done eating."

"Finish?" The medicine jar. "You take medicine for food!"

"If you can't sleep, just take some. It's safer than sleeping pills anyway." Yan Xiaonan fell back to sleep in a daze.I hurried downstairs to buy medicine and returned to the hotel.Zheng Kaiwen is still asleep. It seems that since I left, he hasn't even changed his sleeping position, and there is no sign of waking up at all.

If I hadn't shown up, would this person have just died of illness here?

Then tomorrow morning's headline must be Zheng Kaiwen's big black and white profile picture, and even the news of the US invasion of Iraq has to be sidelined.

I probed his forehead, it wasn't so hot anymore, but when I put my hand into his neck, it was still sweating profusely.I put down the thermos, fed him a fever-reducing medicine, and then sat quietly by the bed and waited for him to wake up.

What to say.

He's actually really nice, nice to me, nice...

I looked at him quietly, his eyelashes were long and dense, his eyebrows were protruding, but he was always frowning slightly.How many things does this person have in his heart? Why does he always frown deeply when he falls asleep.I really want to get an iron to flatten it.I gently smoothed the fine lines between his brows with my fingers.

Thinking of the second time we met at that time, he also had a fever like this, and went out to discuss business in a daze of illness, and in the end I was kidnapped by Oolong... This person, he never took his body seriously.

"Is making money really that important?" I asked in a low voice.

He didn't answer.

After changing the ice pack twice, the fever subsided, and Zheng Kaiwen turned over and changed his sleeping position.I was lying on the side of the bed, looking at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, I don't know how long it took, and finally fell asleep.

I woke up to the constant vibration of the phone on the bedside table.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that Zheng Kaiwen seemed to be waking up in a daze.I hurriedly grabbed the phone and ran to the living room to listen, but it was Akun. His first words were: "Mr. Zheng, are you okay?"

I paused: "It's me."

He was also taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Miss Liang, is Mr. Zheng okay?"

"He had a fever, but seems to be fine now."

I looked into the room with my head, Zheng Kaiwen was raising his hand to grab the ice pack on his forehead.

"He seems to be waking up, when are you coming?"

"I'm in Hong Kong, and I'll be flying over right away."

"What!" I was fuming, "Your boss was so sick that he passed out. You actually left him and went back to Hong Kong alone. Fortunately, you are still his confidant. I think you have betrayed your heart."

A Kun didn't wait for me to finish speaking, so he hung up the phone directly.

I threw away my phone angrily, and when I walked back to the bedroom, Zheng Kaiwen looked at me with wide-open eyes.

"Why are you here?" he asked me.

"Akun called me and asked me to come over." I went to the table and poured out the porridge in the thermos, and said, "You are so sick that you are unconscious, no one can see it."

"It was just a little cold at first, maybe because of acclimatization, it became like this." He threw away the ice pack and touched his forehead.

"You have been to Shanghai several times, and you still feel uncomfortable?" This lie is really clumsy.

I handed the porridge to him, he took a sip, and suddenly said, "Why is there scallop porridge?"

"I'm at home..." In order not to let him think that I did this for him, I deliberately smiled and said, "Yan Xiaonan cooked it. I think there are many, so I brought some over."

He lowered his head and drank the porridge in silence, then asked slowly, "Have I slept for a long time?"

"Probably more than a day."

"You've been here all the time?"

"No... I went home once." I slowly tightened the lid of the thermos, "I should go."

Yeah, I have to go.

I shouldn't have stayed here in the first place, and now I'm about to cross the line. I can't let myself take another step, so how can I turn back.

I went to the chair and took the coat and put it on, and inadvertently reached out and wiped it on my neck, and I was suddenly dumbfounded.

What about the necklace?
I lowered my head to search under the table, under the chair, in the living room, on the sofa, on the coffee table, in the toilet... Zheng Kaiwen saw my abnormal behavior and asked me curiously: "What are you looking for?"

"My necklace is gone." I was sweating profusely.

He was very calm and said, "When did you find out that it was missing?"

"I was still wearing it when I went out yesterday morning." I rummaged through my bag, only to find that my phone ran out of battery.I don't care about it now, I emptied the contents of the bag and searched again, but I didn't see it.

"Where have you been?"

I tried to remember: "I... went to the company yesterday, then came here, and went home once, I don't know when I disappeared."

"I'll accompany you to look for it." He said, got dressed, took the car keys on the table and went out.

"Hello." I hastily pulled him back, "You're still sick."

He turned around and smiled at me, shook his head and said, "It's completely fine."

I looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

"Really." He took my hand behind his back and walked out, saying, "I'll drive you to find it, so it can be faster."

My heart started beating wildly again.I seemed to tell him: Zheng Kaiwen, don't be so nice to me!Otherwise I will think that you are in love with me, otherwise I will be inseparable from you, otherwise I will really lose my head, desperate for you, just like I did to Jiang Yang back then, regardless of everyone’s opposition and want to be together , In the end, he was abandoned by him.

He drove the car, we arrived at home all the way, Yan Xiaonan was no longer at home, maybe he went out to take some outdoor photos at night.Not at home, so I went to the company again.In the middle of the night, the security guard also kindly accompanied me to search for it, but there was still nothing.No more, really no more... I actually squatted on the ground and started crying...

Zheng Kaiwen also squatted down with me, slowly wiped away my tears, and said, "Is there any place I haven't looked for?"

I shook my head slowly, then suddenly remembered and said, "I went to the construction site once yesterday."

He stood up without hesitation and said, "Let's go then."

"But, it's very late now. And it's not guaranteed to be found if it falls on the construction site. There are all weeds and bricks...Mr. Zheng, no need."

Although I yelled all the way, I was dragged out of the building by him and sent to the car.

"How do you know if you don't look for it?"

He fastened the seat belt for me, started the car and headed towards the Bund.

Although it was very dark, it was as bright as day because of the spotlights hanging at the four corners of the construction site.

As soon as I saw rocks and weeds everywhere, I was discouraged.Zheng Kaiwen took off his coat as soon as he got out of the car and got into the rubble pile on the construction site.

"Do you remember walking around somewhere?" he asked me.

I came back to my senses, looked around, pointed to the place where I was standing during the day yesterday, and said, "Here, I was standing here."

He came over and squatted there and looked around carefully. I saw him bending over and patiently searching among the broken stones, and I felt a pang in my heart.Back then, Jiang Yang did the same, looking for contact lenses for me in the reeds.In the end, he even scratched his hand. Because of this, he submitted his graduation project late and was scolded by his tutor.

I don't know how long it took until a line of hot tears flowed down my cheeks before I felt that my body had been blown cold and hard by the night wind.But Zheng Kaiwen was still squatting in the pile of rocks, looking for every stitch carefully like an embroidering girl.

I wiped away my tears, strode over, grabbed him and said, "I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it anymore."

At that moment, his hands were cold, but his body was hot.

"Wait a minute, we'll find it soon." He refused to leave, and stubbornly searched for a diamond necklace the size of a soybean among the ruins all over the floor.

"I won't look for it, I said I won't look for it!" I raised my voice, pulled him hard and said, "I said I won't look for it anymore!"

"Wait a minute..." He stood up suddenly, his eyes focused on a place one step away.Suddenly bent down, straightened up quickly, waved a little bit of light in his hand to me, and said, "I found it!"

I looked at the necklace he handed over, and my eyes became hot.

"Isn't it this one?"

"No...yes, it's this one." I put the necklace in my pocket, grabbed him and said, "Let's go back."

He smiled, I don't know why he was happy, his expensive suit had already been scratched by rocks, the collar of his shirt was stained with sweat, and his face was even more colorful.

Everything on him is more expensive than my necklace.

But that necklace is my priceless treasure, only I understand, only I understand this.

I saw that his hand holding the steering wheel was densely packed with tiny wounds. I couldn't help but turn my eyes red. I hurriedly turned away and asked, "Why did you help me find the necklace?"

He smiled slightly and said, "Didn't I cry when I couldn't find you? I think it must be something very important to you."

"It's very important." I said, "Because it was a gift from my ex-boyfriend."

"So, it's important." He drove the car carelessly.

I looked out the window and said, "But I said I don't need to look for it, why do you still look for it?"

He tried his best to smile at me and said, "It's a very precious thing. Aren't you very anxious when you find that it's missing?"

"That...that's because I got used to the belt, and suddenly found it gone, I'm not used to it." I slowly touched my neck: "But in fact, if you don't wear it, you don't wear it. It doesn't matter."

He didn't speak, looked out the window and slowly turned the steering wheel.

Holding the necklace, I slowly put it into the pocket of my backpack and zipped it up.If I could, I'd really like something to be dusted off and never opened again.

"You go back first, I can do it myself." Back in the hotel room, he urged me to take my bag and leave quickly.

But I couldn't move, looking at the wound on his hand, I couldn't help but say: "The wound on your hand, let me clean and bandage it for you."

"It's okay, I'll just wash it myself." He wiped his hands with a tissue and said slowly, "You are working for Du Zeshan now. He is a very suspicious person. He sees you together with me all day and night. He will definitely be suspicious. You'd better think about how to explain it to him."

I froze.

I work for Du Zeshan, how would he know?
Seeing my eyes full of question marks, I smiled and said: "This world is not big, and many things can be done without long legs. What's more, I have fought against that guy for so many years... He poached my people, I How can I not know at all. Many things have no legs, but they can also run.”

"It's gone like wildfire." I reluctantly raised my head to glance at him, but still asked worriedly, "Are you all right? Then I'm leaving."

He nodded and walked me all the way out of the room.

I walked slowly and bumped into A Kun who had just come out of the elevator.

When he saw me, he was very surprised but seemed very grateful, "Miss Liang, have you been here all this time?"

"Yeah." I didn't know what to say to him, after thinking about it, I just said, "I'm leaving now."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

He thanked me very much and even pressed the elevator for me.I leaned against the cold elevator wall and finally let out a long breath.

This time, it's really over.

I am already his opponent's subordinate, and we have become an antagonistic relationship.I have no reason, nor can I expect anything more from him.

As soon as I walked downstairs of the hotel, I suddenly heard someone calling me from behind, and when I turned around, I saw A Kun rushing out like flying.I don't know why, but he has already grabbed me, sweating on his forehead, panting, and said anxiously like a firefighter: "Miss Liang, Mr. Zheng has fainted."
