Qian Yan

Chapter 148 Race against time
She stood up silently, took out a bag of quick-frozen dumplings from the refrigerator and cooked them, warmed him a glass of milk with two fruits, and said to him, "Let's eat something first."

Cheng Jialu sat at the dining table, drank half a cup of warm milk slowly, looked at Weiran who was cooking dumplings for himself in the kitchen, and felt the blood on his body begin to flow warmly again.

This is the back that he is very familiar with.How many nights he had subconsciously raised his head between experiments to look for this figure from behind.

Sometimes, when the work at hand came to an end, he would quietly walk behind her and hug her gently from behind.

At that time, he liked to bury his face in her hair and feel the fresh and warm breath.Her hair seemed to be very soft, which made him feel that his heart was softer.

At that time, he thought in his heart, this world is really beautiful, because the most beautiful person is in his arms.

But now, looking at the back figure in front of him who is busy for himself, he thought, maybe Weiran didn't really feel unfeeling towards him.

Because of the renewed hope in his heart, he got up and walked to the kitchen door, leaning on the door frame to look at her.

Unran turned his head and looked back at her in the steaming heat.

He said softly, "Actually, I rushed back from New York and just wanted to say a word to you."

Yan Weiran slightly raised his eyebrows, beckoning him inquiringly.

"I know, because a lot of things have happened between us, we may never go back to the past." He stared fixedly at her peaceful side under the light, breathing stagnantly, but since he insisted on saying, "But whatever Whether you care or not, I belong to you for the rest of my life, and it will never change."

The water in the pot was steaming, Yan Weiran looked at him through the mist in front of his eyes, his whole body seemed to be slightly wet.The mist also seemed to have evaporated into his eyes, making his eyes look hazy.

For the first time in her life, she gave Cheng Jialu the admiration, joy, infatuation, and even willing to sacrifice all her feelings for it.But overnight, all expectations were dashed.She could only choose to bury Cheng Jialu in a place she didn't want to touch, because she couldn't think about it, and every time she thought about it, it hurt her heart.

That day in Guangzhou, I said that I will be a passerby from now on.And in Guangzhou, she owns Wei Zexi in the elevator, illuminated by the neon lights outside the window.

At that time Wei Zexi said to her, all in all, every time you need it, the person by your side must be me.

She already has a love that doesn't have to worry about doubts and fears, and a heart that doesn't have to worry about gains and losses.

After experiencing such deep hurt, there was such a frank, cheerful and enthusiastic person who appeared in front of her, like the rising sun, sweeping away all the haze of her past,
So she didn't avoid Cheng Jialu's dark gaze, she looked directly at him, calmly, sadly but earnestly said: "I know you haven't changed, Jialu, but it's a pity that I have changed."

Cheng Jialu didn't expect her to say her change of heart so frankly, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

"It was I who overthrew my previous dream and didn't want to live a stable life under your protection. What's the use of having a strong backing? I still couldn't keep my teacher, and I still had to leave New York with nothing. Jialu , I hate to pin all my hopes on you, so when Fang Aili sneaked in, when your family opposed us, and when you couldn't protect me, I lost the whole world, and I would rather die."

She said, seeing the soup in the pot boiled again, and the dumplings floating in the boiling water, she reached out and turned off the fire.

She put the dumplings on the table and gave Cheng Jialu a tired but determined smile.

"I now know that since I am a piece of catkins, don't think about which gust of wind can carry me straight to the sky. The only path I should choose is to take root in the mud and grow stronger day by day. Only then can we ignore the existence of wind and rain, and can prop up our own sky."

Until I have enough strength to let those who persecuted her get what they deserve.Get a solid barrier for what you want to protect.

"So Jialu, take your heart back, because I have chosen another person as my partner. He is very good, the most suitable person in this world for me."

Cheng Jialu looked at her motionless, the expression on her face was indifferent, but it struck him more than her words.

Because she really doesn't care about him anymore.

Not only did she not love him, but she even let go of her hatred.

As if struggling to die, he asked, "Is it Zexi?"

She avoided his eyes and said softly, "Maybe."

Cheng Jialu's voice trembled slightly: "He... has never surpassed me in any way since he was a child."

Yan Weiran smiled and said softly, "But, he made me feel at ease."

The plane landed in Shanghai.As soon as he got out of the cabin door, the cool breeze hit, and Wei Zexi was in a good mood.

Shanghai is better, he must escape from the cold and humid place like London as soon as possible.

He rolled up his sleeves, turned on his phone to send a message to Yan Weiran, and then saw that the time was [-]:[-] in the morning, and he hesitated——

After all, Weiran, who often has work at night, may only have taken a nap for two or three hours at this time.

The driver who came to pick him up helped him carry his luggage and asked, "Mr. Wei going home?"

"Well..." He looked at the gray sky outside and said, "Why don't you go to Wutong Street first."

The driver tried his best to suppress the surprised expression: "Okay."

Just after leaving the airport, Wei's father had already called.After pressing the answer button, Wei Zexi put the phone ten centimeters away from his ear.

Sure enough, even if it wasn't played outside, the roar echoed in the car, which made the driver's hands tremble and even the chassis jumped.

"Where? Come back!"

Wei Zexi signaled the driver to drive well with his usual expression, and innocently asked over there, "Dad, didn't I leave a note for you? I'm back home."

"What are you doing back home? Don't you know how important tomorrow is?"

Facing his father's fury, Wei Zexi said sincerely: "Don't, Dad, I think your job is too high-level, and I'm a little bit powerless, so I'd better start with small things and train myself a little bit— —Didn’t you dump me to be the vice president of Huanyu at the beginning? Next, I want to start a project by myself and be the master controller. If I do well, you can gradually hand over the burden to me, okay? "

Father Wei was so angry that he was gasping for breath. When he thought of his son so irresponsibly leaving his dream career behind and running away, he felt that he must have been drinking too much when he was just married and had intermittent seizures. Retarded children.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Wei Zexi asked tentatively, "Then, Dad, let's say this first?"

But a question came from my ear: "What project?"

"what?"

"Let me ask you, you are in a hurry to go back to China, what project do you want to do?"

"Oh, that... I invested some pocket money to start a business."

It's a pity that his father is not someone who can fool around casually, so he asked sharply: "Which industry? Is it feasible? What's the prospect? You have the technology and connections, so you dare to start this project?"

Wei Zexihan was about to come down, so he could only say vaguely: "Women's money is the best, and the fashion industry is huge profits, so I found someone who is very reliable in the industry, and with the help of my time in Huanyu to build The network of people who have grown up is ready to start a company."

Father Wei, an old fox, pondered for a while and asked, "You want to recruit that makeup artist to make a makeup brand?"

Wei Zexi really broke into a sweat!He stayed there for two or three seconds before asking, "Dad... how do you know?"

"Nonsense! The whole world is spreading rumors about your scandal, so my father wouldn't know about it?"

Wei Zexi quickly went through the people around him, thinking about who would be his father's undercover agent.

Father Wei was like a roundworm in his stomach: "Don't think about it, it was your Uncle Liu who told me!"

Uncle Liu is the chairman and boss of Huanyu. He never expected that a person of his status would report to his father. Wei Zexi could only cover his face in pain and didn't want to say anything more.

Wei's father said disdainfully: "That kind of thing can earn only a few dollars, so just invest some money in coaxing women."

Wei Zexi was a little unconvinced: "But our product is really good, and I am optimistic that it will become one of the cross-generational products in the cosmetics industry!"

"It's fine if you're happy, it's rare that you actually take the initiative to find something to do." Father Wei thought for a while, and then asked, "How are you doing now? R&D, supply chain, management, design... With your little experience, it's difficult up?"

"Don't worry, I found a very reliable team." Wei Zexi said the team members, and Wei's father snorted again: "Overqualified, a make-up is worth so much? Doing micro-business is also doing it. Your posture is not good. Want to grab L'Oreal's market?"

"Anyway, our technology, connections, and business foundation are all very strong, plus we have money, so it's impossible not to be successful. Dad, just wait and see!"

"Stop talking nonsense, get the hell out of here! I will never change the scheduled itinerary. If I don't see you before [-]pm London time, don't show up in front of me for the rest of your life!"

After hanging up the phone, Wei Zexi counted the time he could stay in the country, and immediately had the urge to cry.In order to seize the time to see Unran, he immediately drove the driver out of the car,
"Okay, I'll drive it myself, you can take a taxi back and I'll reimburse you."

"Okay." The driver got off the bus on the streets of Shanghai after six o'clock in the morning, and watched him drive away, with tears streaming down his face--at this time, if I can get a taxi, I will give Mr. Wei your surname!
