Yao Yiyi paused her hand and looked at him with some confusion.
"Going abroad? Why?" she asked puzzled.
The smile on Xu Chengxun's face became even more bitter.
"Her mother had an accident. She went there two months ago. Before she went, I held her hand and asked her not to be with me. I was also there at the time. I don't know why things came to this point. It was obviously hard for us. We were just together." Xu Chengxun covered his face with his hands and said in a low voice.
Yao Yiyi thought of thousands of outcomes, but they definitely did not include the outcome of Li's mother going away. It was obviously not good before, so why did she go so suddenly? Moreover, Li Zhenzhen and Xu Chengxun's last wish before her death may not be possible in this life.
"Chengxun, wasn't Mrs. Li fine before? Why did she go so suddenly?" Yao Yiyi said with some difficulty.
"She had been bitten by a dog before. Although she had received injections, toxins still remained in her body, so she suddenly became ill and passed away like this. At that time, I accompanied Zhenzhen to visit the two elders abroad. Unexpectedly, it was me and Zhenzhen. After Jane's last reunion, she asked me to come back to China, and then she stayed abroad by herself. I also tried to find her, but she and Uncle Li had moved, and I don't know where she is now." Xu Chengxun I wiped my face and regained my composure when the waiter brought the food.
Yao Yiyi did not expect such a result. If Li's mother hit her with something and she did not condone Ou Qingheng's revenge on Li's mother, she might not be where she is today.
Mother Li's sudden death made her a simple executioner.
She thought that with Xu Chengxun's mediation, even if she and Li Zhenzhen could not resolve their differences, at least their relationship would not be incompatible.
Now, she and Li Zhenzhen might be enemies.
"Chengxun, I'm sorry for causing you to become like this, but I just can't figure it out. Even if Mrs. Li leaves, why doesn't she entrust Zhenzhen to you?" Yao Yiyi said doubtfully.
Even if Mother Li suddenly fell ill, no mother would not want her daughter to be happy when she was dying. Besides, Mother Li only had one daughter, Li Zhenzhen, so there was no way she could just watch her daughter suffer.
Xu Chengxun's face became even more bitter.
Li's mother's last wish has always been something that bothers him. He thought that the Li family would be the most happy to see his marriage with Li Zhenzhen. Unexpectedly, Li Zhenzhen took him out of the country to meet his elders, who were not as welcoming as he imagined. He even said in front of him that he was not worthy of Li Zhenzhen and that he had missed the best time to take care of Li Zhenzhen.
If he didn't show up when Li Zhenzhen was in the most difficult time, then he was not qualified to be with Li Zhenzhen.
And Li's mother's illness directly sentenced him to death.
"Come, let's eat. It's rare for you to come back from abroad. We won't talk about these depressing things anymore." Xu Chengxun shook his head and changed the subject pretending to be light.
Yao Yiyi took the chopsticks and picked out a dish to eat. After tasting it, her appetite was quite good.
She thoughtfully served Xu Chengxun some food and asked him to eat more.
After finishing the meal, the two left the Korean restaurant. Ou Qingheng put his hands in his pockets and asked, "Do you mind going to the bar with me?"
Yao Yiyi agreed, and then called Yao Ting to tell her that she was going to a bar with Xu Chengxun and asked her to pick her up around eleven o'clock in the evening.
"Let's go."
The two of them arrived at a bar called "Night". They went in together, ordered a lot of wine in front of the counter, and sat in the corner.
Maybe it was because it was still early, but there weren't many people in the bar, so it wasn't very noisy.
When the waiter brought the wine, Xu Chengxun opened the lid, handed Yao Yiyi a bottle of beer, and said, "Here, let's have a drink as two frustrated people in love."
Yao Yiyi took the beer and smiled bitterly. It felt like the whole world knew about her divorce from Ou Qingheng.
Within a year, she seemed to have become a pitiable creature in everyone's eyes, and was abandoned by Ou Qingheng for no apparent reason.
She bumped into Xu Chengxun, then raised her head and took a big sip of beer.
"I heard that Mr. Ou forgot about you and got together with Zhang Zhiling. Is this true?" Xu Chengxun also took a big sip of beer and brought up the old things again.
Yao Yiyi shook her finger at him several times, "Chengxun, you are very unkind. This matter is not a secret in the circle at all, and Chengxun didn't forget about me, but put me and Zhang Zhiling's identities have been reversed. In his heart, Zhang Zhiling is the woman he loves, and I am probably the messy woman. God loves to joke with us. You and Zhenzhen, Qingheng and I, because of various We separated for the same reason. After that, I went abroad, partly to make myself stronger, and partly to escape reality. I still don’t believe that Qingheng has really forgotten every bit of the relationship between me and him. , but that’s the reality, he really forgot and caught me off guard.”
Xu Chengxun took another long gulp of wine.
"Yiyi, for this reason, we should not get drunk or go home today." Xu Chengxun said.
Yao Yiyi shook her head.
"I've been running away for a year, and I don't want to run away anymore. I don't need to drink to enjoy myself, and I don't need to get drunk. Besides, we are past the age of drinking to drown our sorrows. If you really can't let go of Zhenzhen, go and get her." Chase him back, just like me. As long as Qingheng is still here, one day I will be able to remind him of everything. I don’t believe that my fate with him will be so shallow. We still have a long way to go. Don’t be discouraged.”
Xu Chengxun lowered his head and laughed muffledly.
"Yiyi, I loved you, but when Aunt Li went there, I actually complained about you. I was thinking that if you had been merciful and told Mr. Ou not to be so cruel to her, would today's ending be the same? Changed? But after thinking about it, I know that I really can't blame you. This ending was actually caused by me. If I hadn't been stubborn, maybe my children would be able to do so." Xu Chengxun drank again He took a sip of wine and said very calmly.
Yao Yiyi was suddenly amused by his words.
"It's funny. In fact, I think it's quite funny." Xu Chengxun also laughed, but his smile looked bitter. "I think I'm quite a failure. Neither of the two women I fell in love with were the same." I have achieved results, tell me, am I born with a weak emotional connection?"
"If you want to talk about failure, I am quite a failure. I and Qingheng were separated and reunited. This time he simply forgot that I was his lover. I can't even keep my lover, so I can only I'm borrowing wine from you to drown my sorrows. Come on, have a drink. Tomorrow is a new beginning and there will always be new hope." Yao Yiyi raised her cup and the two of them clinked it.
Yao Yiyi and Xu Chengxun were enjoying themselves while drinking, but upstairs there was a woman wearing sunglasses looking at Xu Chengxun.
"Zhenzhen, you see, the man you are obsessed with is drinking with your enemy and love rival, and they are having a lot of fun watching them talking and drinking. You can tell who the woman he is obsessed with is. Do you still want a man like this?" A man hugged Li Zhenzhen from behind, kissed her neck, and said encouragingly.
And through the light, you can see clearly that this man is none other than June, who has been running away for a year.
Li Zhenzhen avoided his intimacy, impatience flashed in her eyes.
"Get your dirty mouth off and don't touch me." She said disgustedly.
There was a hint of viciousness in June's eyes, and he bit her neck as if to punish her.
Li Zhenzhen felt pain and turned her head to stare at him angrily.
"You crazy dog, have you had enough trouble?"
June raised her hand and held her chin, looking at her eyes that looked particularly scary under the flickering lights.
"Zhenzhen, the man you can't forget is now drinking with your enemy. Moreover, I heard that Yao Yiyi was abandoned by Ou Qingheng. The chance of them getting together is much greater. If you can swallow this breath, I will I have nothing to say, but thinking about your mother’s tragic death, tut tut.” June twisted her neck a few times and said.
Li Zhenzhen's expression was ferocious, glaring at Yao Yiyi and Xu Chengxun who were drinking happily.
Yao Yiyi caused her mother to die tragically, and now she is shamelessly seducing her man. New grudges are added to old grudges, and her hatred for Yao Yiyi is growing day by day.
She squinted her eyes and felt something in her mind.
Yao Yiyi drank until almost eleven o'clock when she received a call from Yao Ting, saying that Xu Chen had already gone to pick her up and would be there in a few minutes, and asked her to go out and wait for him.
"Chengxun, let's go. It's enough for us to drink for two or three hours. If we drink any more, we won't be able to go to work tomorrow. A small drink will make you happy, but a big drink is not necessary. Our situation is not so bad that we have to borrow alcohol. Giving up drinking is something only those who can't stand failure and escaping reality do when they are in a state of sorrow. None of us are Xiaoqiang who can't be defeated." Yao Yiyi said playfully, raising the wine bottle in her hand.
Xu Chengxun put down the bottle, stood up, raised his hand and patted her head. "Yiyi, I found that it's good to let go of my attachment to you and become a close friend with you. At least I can tell you things I don't want to say to others."
Yao Yiyi chuckled. She never thought that one day she and Xu Chengxun would be able to chat so calmly.
Xu Chengxun went to pay, and then the two left the bar side by side.
"Yiyi, how about I take you back?"
"No, Xu Chen came to pick me up. Tingting and I are living at his place now. As you know, Tingting and I are no longer wanted, so we can only stay overnight."
"If you don't have a place to live, I have an unoccupied apartment in Jingfeng Garden in the city. Someone cleans it regularly. You just need to bring your bags and move in."
"I was just kidding you."
The two were chatting, and then they saw a car driving towards them. Yao Yiyi thought it was Xu Chen coming to pick her up, so she didn't take precautions. Unexpectedly, the car suddenly accelerated when it was about to drive in front of her. The speed increased. Yao Yiyi looked at the speed of the car flying towards her. Her pupils could not help but widen. The car accident that almost killed her a few years ago kept flashing in her mind. For a moment, she could only stand there stupidly. In the same place, my feet and hands were so weak that I didn't know how to react.
"Be careful." After Xu Chengxun was surprised, he quickly pulled Yao Yiyi and hid on the other side.
The car hit no one once, but turned around and hit again. Xu Chengxun took Yao Yiyi and hid in the bar in embarrassment. The people in the car might have quickly changed cars when they saw that no one could be hit. Ran away.
"Yiyi, are you okay?" Xu Chengxun asked worriedly.
Yao Yiyi shook her head, a little shocked.
Xu Chen ran in from outside, pulled her in front of him and looked at her from head to toe. He felt relieved when he saw that there were no injuries on her body.
"Yiyi, I just saw a car about to hit you. It really scared me to death. I originally wanted to catch up with you, but I was worried that something might happen to you. Don't scare me like this again, otherwise I will go crazy. Yes." Xu Chen said with concern.
Yao Yiyi was a little embarrassed at his eager concern, and withdrew her hand without any trace, smiling: "Xu Chen, I'm fine, don't worry, thanks to Chengxun, otherwise I might really be killed by a car today. It’s a collision, but I’m so blessed and blessed.”
Xu Chen just looked at her deeply and sighed helplessly.
"Master Xu, thank you for saving Yiyi. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If you ever need Xu Chen in the future, just ask. I will never shirk it." Xu Chen looked at Xu Chengxun and said very seriously.
Xu Chengxun looked at Xu Chen with interest. He didn't know in what capacity Xu Chen came to say such things to him, but thinking that Yao Yiyi stayed at his place when he returned to China, he could conclude that these two people Their status is extraordinary. Even if they are not lovers, their friendship is more than that of friends. Otherwise, Yao Yiyi would not have no objection.
It seems that a lot of things have happened this year, otherwise Yao Yiyi would not have allowed Xu Chen to stay by her side.
"Yiyi, you guys..." Xu Chengxun's eyes wandered between the two of them.
"We are the best family." Yao Yiyi cut off his words and said.
Xu Chen's eyes darkened after hearing this.
Xu Chengxun seemed to have expected something, and he didn't ask any more questions.
"Go back, it's getting late." Xu Chengxun said.
Yao Yiyi nodded.
After saying goodbye to Xu Chengxun, Yao Yiyi and Xu Chen got into the car.
"Xu Chen, please come and pick me up." Yao Yiyi fastened her seat belt and said politely.
Xu Chen glanced sideways at her, a light flashed deep in his eyes, and he felt faintly uncomfortable.
"Yiyi, you also said that we are family. Saying thank you to relatives is a bit strange. As long as it is your business, I will come over no matter how busy I am." Xu Chen said with deep meaning.
Yao Yiyi just smiled.
"I'm sleepy. Let's take a nap. Please wake me up when we get there." She closed her eyes, originally wanting to avoid Xu Chen's intense gaze, but she felt like she really fell asleep. .
When the car drove into the community, Xu Chen slowly parked the car, then unbuckled his seat belt and looked closely at Yao Yiyi. He saw a faint dark circle under her eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Yiyi, the boss is nice, but he has forgotten you. You can look at me. I swear I will be better to you and make you happy for the rest of your life." Xu Chen said in a low voice.
Yao Yiyi just wrinkled her little nose.
He couldn't put it down and pinched her little nose, then boldly leaned forward and kissed her cheek. When he wanted to taste the fragrance on her lips, Yao Yiyi's eyelashes twitched and she slowly opened her eyes. Looking at each other, Xu Chen could even see clearly the confusion in Yao Yiyi's eyes for a moment.
Yao Yiyi woke up quickly and subconsciously stepped back. Xu Chen's eyes dimmed subconsciously when he saw how much her body moved.
Yao Yiyi also knew that her actions hurt people, so she could only change the topic, "We're home, let's go down, I don't know if An An has slept, I haven't seen him all day, I really miss him. "After saying that, she unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car quickly. Looking at her hurried back, she looked like she was running away.
Xu Chen's expression darkened, he sighed lowly, and finally got out of the car together.
The two of them took the elevator up in silence.
"Tingting, are you sleeping peacefully? I'll go up and see him. You and Xu Chen have nothing to do, so go to sleep." After entering the room, Yao Yiyi said to Yao Ting and hurried upstairs.
"Yiyi almost got hit by someone in the bar." Xu Chen pursed his lips and said instead of answering. He felt that the crash was intentional.
"What? What did you say? How could she have a car accident when she's so good? No, I'm going to ask her what's going on. She had a car accident just a few days after she came back. It's obvious at first glance that someone can't tolerate her coming back. , you can guess who this person is without asking." Yao Ting was about to go upstairs angrily, but Xu Chen stopped her.
Xu Chen shook his head at her.
"I've memorized the license plate number of that car. I just need to look it up and I'll know who it belongs to. This person bumped into someone so blatantly in a place like a bar. It seems like she really hates Yiyi to the core for daring to hurt Yiyi. I won't even let her go." Xu Chen narrowed his eyes and said fiercely.
Yao Ting thought for a while and said, "Then check it out quickly. I want to see who has eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard."
Xu Chen asked someone to check a license plate number. Within half an hour, news came from there that the car was bought by a foreign man named June, and he had just bought it.
"It's this stinky man again. Yiyi has some grudge against him. He has to target Yiyi everywhere and even thinks about killing her. He'd better pray that I don't meet him, otherwise I'll just tear her down. It broke his bones and cramped his tendons." Yao Ting said through gritted teeth.
Yao Yiyi avoided them all. These mad dogs bit people when they saw them. They really treated people like soft persimmons that were easy to handle.
"I always thought he had fled back to his country, but I didn't expect he was still in the country. Now, I have a way to find him out and punish him twenty times." Xu Chen held the phone tightly. , said angrily.
"Xu Chen, I support you on this point. Let's show them that even without the blessing of the Ou family, we will not be powerless and let others trample and bully us at will." Yao Ting patted him. shoulder, said.
Xu Chen nodded, his expression becoming very determined.
He spent the whole night mobilizing the contacts he could mobilize to find June. Even though he was just a bodyguard, he had accumulated a lot of contacts over the years. Big bosses in the business circle had to sell him some thin noodles. In addition, Ou Qingheng There is no restriction on his bodyguards having their own private property outside, so he has several companies of his own in other places. It can be said that although his money is not as much as Ou Qingheng's, it is still quite a lot, enough to take Yao Qingheng's money. Yiyi is under his wings.
He called for several hours, and the people there promised him that they would set up a dragnet to find June, but it was unclear whether he could find June. After all, June was not an ordinary person, but one of the heirs of the Adderton family. First, the power behind him cannot be underestimated.
Xu Chen said that as long as they can find it, the reward will be inevitable.
Money can make everything go round, not to mention people, who will work even harder to find someone.
But June is like a fox, very cunning. His company in this city was left to others to take care of. No matter what problems arose in the company's accounts, he never came forward, but there was a dedicated person to solve it perfectly. , that team with strong professional knowledge also left Xu Chen helpless about his company for a while.
Xu Chen was a little irritable. Not catching June became a thorn in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Yao Ting patted his shoulder and consoled him: "Xu Chen, take it easy and take your time. If June could be solved so easily, he wouldn't be allowed to wander around the country for so long. Don't forget his There is also the Adderton family behind him, otherwise he would have been dealt with by now."
June is a foreign businessman that the government attaches great importance to. If something happens to him domestically, his country will also intervene in the investigation, which may cause an international dispute. This may sound like an exaggeration, but in Edton Under the pressure of the family, it may actually develop into this result, so many things are difficult to talk about, so it is best to be careful.
"If his company can be accused of smuggling and drug trafficking, he will naturally be sent out of the country." Yao Ting took the idea into consideration and blurted out the bad idea.
Xu Chen nodded in agreement, and then started to ask people to do it.
Yao Yiyi didn't know what these two people were planning. She was just keenly aware of Ou Qingheng's change in attitude towards her, and he seemed to be colder than before.
Take today, someone from their company came to Ou Group to discuss a project. Although Ou Qingheng still discussed things in a business-like manner, his attitude towards her was obviously very cold, and he didn't even look at her.
Yao Yiyi felt faintly uncomfortable, but during the business discussion, she had no choice but to suppress her discomfort and talk.
After talking about the matter, Ou Qingheng stood up and left, and Yao Yiyi followed quickly.
"Mr. Ou, please wait a moment." Yao Yiyi said.
Ou Qingheng stopped and looked at her coldly.
"Director Yao, we have finished talking about business matters. If it is personal matters, I don't think I have anything to say to you." Ou Qingheng snorted coldly, "But if you are short of men, I can introduce you to several male."
Yao Yiyi's expression changed drastically and she looked at Ou Qingheng complicatedly.
"Mr. Ou, I think I didn't do anything to make you misunderstand." She said reluctantly.
"You know it best, don't you?" After saying that, Ou Qingheng turned around and left.
Yao Yiyi's face turned pale and she looked at his leaving back with hurt. What she just said was not an illusion. Ou Qingheng just hated her more and more. It could even be said that she was disgusted. However, she was fine yesterday. Did something happen during this period? What's something she doesn't know? She couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Zhiling had done something to him again
She was vaguely worried that her return to China seemed to aggravate Zhang Zhiling's fear, so she secretly attacked Ou Qingheng.
