But when he thought about this girl doing such a thing right after graduating from school, Shen Yimo felt indescribably depressed.
"How long do you mean?" Yu Xiao didn't understand the question and asked back.
Shen Yimo looked at her coldly and said nothing more.
He didn't say anything, and Yu Xiao was too lazy to explain this kind of question. He could think whatever he wanted, because this kind of question had nothing to do with her anyway.
Yu Xiao had a question that she couldn't figure out. Shen Yimo was the president of Shen Group. Why did he care so much about her, a secretary who had just started working for a few days? Just because she looked like the girl named Mingyao? This was a bit unreasonable!
But even though she had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to ask Shen Yimo, because she didn't know what was wrong with him today. Since this morning, his handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of dust and gloomy.
Oh, what an unpredictable man!
But what does this have to do with her
The car entered Uncle Ming's villa, Yu Xiao got out of the car and walked into the villa alone. As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Uncle Ming hurriedly coming down from upstairs, and when he saw Yu Xiao, he immediately greeted him kindly.
"Xiao girl is here? How are you today? Are you feeling better?"
"Much better, thank you Uncle Ming!" Yu Xiao smiled at Uncle Ming. Although she had not met Uncle Ming many times, she always had a sense of déjà vu. She even wondered if there was Uncle Ming's shadow in her forgotten fifteen years of memory.
But this thought only flashed through his mind. After all, even if she really had lost her memory, if they really knew each other, Uncle Ming would not have failed to recognize her.
"Did you rest well last night?" Uncle Ming took her to the sofa in the living room and sat down, his eyes fixed on the injured part of her face.
"Well, it's good!" Yu Xiao smiled.
While the two were talking, Shen Yimo had already walked in, but today he just said hello to Uncle Ming and went upstairs directly. It seemed that he was really Uncle Ming's relative, and he could be so unscrupulous in other people's homes.
Yu Xiao felt that she was already 22 years old, and it was embarrassing for her to ask Uncle Ming for help to apply the ointment. But as soon as she proposed it, Uncle Ming refused.
"Do you dislike Uncle Ming?" Uncle Ming frowned, took out the homemade potion, and stubbornly helped Yu Xiao apply it on his face.
Yu Xiao looked at Uncle Ming's expression, stuck out her tongue and stopped insisting. She remembered what Shen Yimo said: "When he first saw you, he treated you as his daughter."
I remembered Shen Yimo said that the girl named Mingyao was in another world...
Suddenly, I felt a pity for Uncle Ming in front of me. No one could understand the pain that a man in his 50s or 60s felt when he suddenly lost his daughter. Just like she had lost 15 years of memory, no one could empathize with her except sympathy.
"Uncle Ming, what's that about the president saying last time that you used to live in the mountains for many years?" Yu Xiao was making small talk, thinking back to what Shen Yimo had said before and was a little confused.
"Oh, he's right! I don't really like crowds. My ancestors left me a tea garden, and I used to live in it, so I could handle any bruises or swellings myself." Uncle Ming put away the potion, looked at Yu Xiao and sighed, "This guy, when he didn't like crowds before, there were people coming and going in this house. But when you want the crowds, no one gives you the chance."
"Uncle Ming, where is Auntie? Why haven't I seen her these few times I've come here?" I've been here two or three times, and apart from seeing a servant, the only person I've seen is Uncle Ming. I haven't seen anyone else in this villa.
"She has been dead for many years." Uncle Ming looked out the window. In his yellowing eyes, there was infinite nostalgia and regret for the past.
“Oh…” When Yu Xiao heard Uncle Ming’s words, he didn’t know what to say to comfort Uncle Ming.
"Come and have lunch with Uncle Ming here at noon today! I have already made an appointment with Yi Mo. He is on the third floor. You can go up and see him!" After Uncle Ming said this, he got up and went back to his room with the potion.
Yu Xiao looked at Uncle Ming's back, then at the empty living room, and went upstairs. As she walked up step by step, she wondered what kind of relationship Shen Yimo had with Uncle Ming? Judging from the tacit understanding between the two, it seemed that Shen Yimo had once been a member of this place. According to what Uncle Ming said, Yu Xiao went up to the third floor, looked along the corridor, and found that the door of a room was open. Yu Xiao walked over slowly, poked her head in, and found that Shen Yimo was standing in front of the window with his arms folded, looking at the sky outside the window with a gloomy face.
Yu Xiao curled her lips. She thought it was better not to disturb the guy who was being cool here. But before she could turn around, Shen Yimo's voice rang out: "Come in!"
Yu Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still walked in. Looking around, he found that the room was decorated in a light pink color that girls like. On the walls of the room, there were photos of a girl. She had a pair of beautiful big eyes, and each photo was full of lively light, like eyes that could speak. On her face, you could see a smile as bright as the sun.
"She's so beautiful!" Yu Xiao stopped in front of one of the photos and couldn't help but sigh. The girl in the photo seemed to have a strong appeal. Even facing the photo, Yu Xiao could feel that her smile was like a flower blooming in this room.
"She is Yaoyao! Uncle Ming's daughter!" Shen Yimo stood beside her without her knowing when, and explained lightly, but there was a deep and unremovable sadness and nostalgia in his eyes.
"She is Mingyao?" Yu Xiao's heart trembled.
"Yes!"
"Where is she..." Yu Xiao thought of Shen Yimo's words and swallowed the rest of the words back.
"She was in a car accident half a year ago and could not be saved when she was sent to the hospital..." Shen Yimo gently stretched out his hand and slid it slowly across the cold photo. Then he turned around and looked at Yu Xiao beside him, his voice a little hoarse: "You have a pair of eyes exactly like hers! Today is her 7th birthday!"
Yu Xiao's heart trembled inexplicably, and she didn't even dare to look at Shen Yimo's eyes. No wonder Uncle Ming asked her to stay for dinner, it turned out that today was Mingyao's birthday!
"She is your girlfriend, right?" From his eyes, she could see his deep attachment to and reluctance for her.
They must have loved each other deeply in the past, right
"Yes! If she hadn't had a car accident half a year ago, she would be my wife today! We agreed to hold the wedding on her birthday, but God played a joke on us..." Although his eyes were filled with unconcealed sadness, Shen Yimo still smiled lovingly at Mingyao's photo: "Yaoyao, today is your birthday, you must be good!" After that, he looked at Yu Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, be Uncle Ming's daughter for a day today! Okay?"
Shen Yimo's words had already filled Yu Xiao's eyes with tears. Although she didn't know what kind of story there was between them, she thought it must be very touching, right? Looking at the girl with a bright smile in the photo, her heart was full of envy.
Being loved so deeply by a man is a kind of happiness even if you leave this world!
Yu Xiao nodded. Since he said so, what else could she say
Moreover, his words made her feel an indescribable feeling towards Uncle Ming. She didn't know what it was, but she felt that the feeling seemed to have taken root and sprouted in her heart for a long time... a long time...
Yu Xiao thought that even if she had a meal today, it would be very uncomfortable, but the reality was completely different from what she thought! When the three of them had lunch, Uncle Ming and Shen Yimo were chatting happily, with smiles on their faces, and they would laugh heartily when they talked about something happy. Yu Xiao sat opposite Shen Yimo and found for the first time that this man looked really good when he smiled, and he could touch a woman's heart more than ever before. If she hadn't gotten married and hadn't met Kang Shaonan, she would definitely go crazy for this man!
This lunch was a bit of a torment for Yu Xiao. She couldn't understand how two men of different ages could still laugh on Mingyao's birthday. And Mingyao was once a beloved relative and lover to them!
If it were her, she would cry uncontrollably on her beloved's birthday.
But Shen Yimo gave Yu Xiao another answer with his attitude.
To love her is to continue her smile...
On the way back from Uncle Ming's villa, Shen Yimo told Yu Xiao about the cocktail party the company was holding tonight and asked her to attend it.
"Boss, my face is ruined like this, can I ask for leave?" It would be too ugly to attend the cocktail party with this appearance.
"You are attending the cocktail party as a new employee, not going on a blind date! Every new employee must be present. Don't think you can get a pass from me just because of your relationship with Uncle Ming!" Shen Yimo glanced at her and directly rejected her proposal.
"I didn't want to get a pass from you! Besides, you were the one taking me to Uncle Ming's place, okay?" Feeling that this person was turning the tables, Yu Xiao complained unhappily.
"So what you mean is that you don't like going to Uncle Ming's place?" Yu Xiao's words made Shen Yimo frown.
"I did not mean that… "
"Not what you mean?"
"Forget it, you're the president, I can't argue with you!" Yu Xiao felt a little dizzy and stopped the subject in time.
"Do you have dresses?" Shen Yimo asked casually while driving.
"President, can I make a request to you?" Yu Xiao felt that as a married woman, it would be better for her to stay away from this man.
"Speak!"
"Can you please stop treating me like Mingyao?"
Shen Yimo smiled when he heard her words, and then he calmed down a little after a while: "Don't worry! I never thought of you as her!"
That woman's position cannot be replaced by just any woman!
Although Yu Xiao told Shen Yimo in advance not to treat her as Mingyao, Shen Yimo still stubbornly took her to buy a dress after get off work and took her to the company's cocktail party. (To be continued)
