On the day Tang Yunmei returned to China, Shi Rao was busy shooting magazine covers in the studio, and when she got home at night, Xie's house was already in chaos.
"Did your sister call you?"
"My sister? Isn't she at work?"
She looked blankly at the anxious mother, put the bag on the sofa and asked:
"What happened to my sister?"
"Her mother came back, the two of them met, and then she disappeared."
"???" Shi Rao was stunned and asked sharply, "How could you let her meet alone!"
Xie Youqing, who was sitting on the sofa, rubbed his forehead helplessly, and sighed haggardly.
"I didn't know she went to see her mother."
"Have you visited my sister's house? It's her apartment outside."
"I've been there, but there's no one there, and no one answers the phone, and the Tang family doesn't know where she has gone."
"Ci'ao!"
After listening to her mother's words, she really couldn't control her emotions, and she swears in front of the whole family.
"What about her mother? Doesn't she know?"
Everyone shook their heads, looking so clueless that she wanted to curse again.
"What the hell were they talking about?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she patted her forehead tiredly, "Why do you ask this, you won't know, what should I do now?"
These years, no matter where Xie Yu is, she maintains a sense of mystery that is difficult for people around her to understand. Everyone doesn't know what she likes, what friends she has, or even where she goes when she is in a bad mood.
"Her mobile phone is turned off, her credit card has no consumption records, and the car is still parked in the garage..."
Hearing this, Shi Rao felt as if she had grasped something, she hastily interrupted her mother's words.
"Wait, you said her car is parked in the garage, which garage? The garage of her apartment?"
Shi Lan, who hadn't gotten to the point, nodded blankly, "The car is in her apartment."
"So...after she met her mother, she went home?"
"right."
Seeing the few people who hadn't turned around yet, Shi Rao stomped her feet anxiously, "Then why are you still standing there? Check the surveillance, she is a spoiled young lady, do you expect her to travel in a green way? Check her With whom did you go?"
"??!"
Her words dealt a critical blow to those who had no clue, the flame of hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes, and Xie Youqing stood up suddenly.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of it, hurry up and find a property over there, their community is monitored."
So, only five minutes after arriving home, Shi Rao, who hadn't sat down to drink a glass of water, went out with her family to look for clues.
Although she never wanted outsiders to know about her relationship with the Xie family, she couldn't control that much at this time.
A few members of the family gathered around the property to adjust the surveillance. A man with a shopping bag came out of the elevator and went straight to Xie Yu's apartment around five o'clock in the afternoon. Not long after, the two of them came out together again.
Even though the camera didn't capture the man's face, Shi Rao had already guessed the other's identity by watching the two of them's movements, and tugged at his father's sleeve.
"Dad, go back. I know where my sister has gone. Don't worry, she's fine."
"Where did she go?"
Facing her father's impatient eyes, she scratched her head with the corners of her mouth. She didn't know what to say about that man, so she had to explain vaguely.
"I've seen that person before. He's a friend of my sister's. My sister must have called him. I guess Xie Yu wanted to find a place to hide for two days. Let's not force her. Maybe in two days she'll be there." came back."
The deepest hurt often comes from the closest relatives. When Tang Yunmei left, Xie Yu was almost closed to herself. She was forced to run away from home within 24 hours after she came back.
Sometimes, she really doesn't understand these mothers, what does a child mean to them? Is it just the product of a carnal pleasure
Thinking of this, Shi Rao realized that he couldn't look directly at his parents for the time being, so he said after coming out of the security room.
"Mom and Dad, I won't go home now, I'll go find Qiu Cheng."
"Um???"
Fearing that her family members would think wildly, she now made up a reason.
"I, I have something to tell him. He should be in the company at this time. Go back first. Be careful on the road. I will go back at noon tomorrow."
"I'll take you there, you didn't drive here."
She pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll take your ride there."
After getting in the car, she sent Qiu Cheng a text message:
[Wait for me at the company, I have something to do with you. If I go and you are not here, I will interrupt your dog legs tonight!]
Qiu Cheng, who drove the car out of the parking lot in order to save his dog legs, turned his head helplessly to look at the surrounding road conditions, reversed the car and got out of the car with his cell phone and coat.
[Have you got a meal yet? Do you want me to call for takeaway and wait for you?]
Shi Rao, who didn't feel hungry at first, saw this sentence and his stomach growled, attracting the mother's attention, she twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a smile.
"It's okay, I'll go eat in a while."
"Don't abuse yourself all the time, eat when it's time to eat."
"I know, don't worry. My sister is probably going to stay outside for three to five days, so give her more time."
After dealing with her mother for a few words, she lowered her head and sent Qiu Cheng a message.
[Can it be called a barbecue? I want to eat barbecue.]
[able!]
Even if he couldn't get a barbecue takeaway, he could still drive to buy one for her. It was rare that the little princess was willing to eat at night, so she took the initiative to come to his company and prepared everything she wanted.
[Let's have more seafood, I want to eat seafood.]
[I'm waiting for you.]
Shi Rao put away her phone, leaned against the car window and closed her eyes to rest. She was a little curious about what the mother and daughter talked about today, which could force Xie Yu to rely on her ex-boyfriend.
However, does this prove from the side that to Xie Yu, that man is a different existence from others, and the only shoulder she is willing to lean on at this time is the man she has only known for a few months.
What is the charm of this man? You don't really want to be my brother-in-law, do you
Shi Rao, who was thinking wildly, closed her eyes, not daring to tell the few people around her what was on her mind, lest they jump out of the car first, but she had a hunch that Xie Yu's matter... would not end so easily.
It was almost ten o'clock when she arrived downstairs at Qiu Cheng's company, and she didn't know what she was stubborn about, but she didn't want to go back to Xie's house.
"Be careful on the way, I'll go up first, he's waiting for me."
The people in the car waved to her, and the window glass slowly went up. After the car drove away, she just picked up the bag on her shoulder and walked in. When she reached the hall, she saw a vague figure.
"How did you get down?"
"I'm afraid you will get lost."
After meeting, Qiu Cheng graciously hooked her waist, and saw that the makeup on her face was different from usual.
"Are you busy with work today?"
"Well, after shooting the cover of a magazine for a whole day, it took me a long time to remove my makeup at night."
"I can do this little thing for you."
He could see that Shi Rao's exhaustion was not only due to work, but he didn't want to force her mouth open, and when she wanted to speak, he would be a good listener.
Arriving at the office, as soon as Shi Rao opened the door, he smelled a faint fragrance of green onions, "What did you order?"
"Seafood barbecue, I ordered some of them."
While talking, Qiu Cheng took her bag and hung it on the shelf, seeing that she was going to lift the bag directly, he hurriedly grabbed her.
"Wipe your hands first, why do you live more and more?"
Shi Rao looked eagerly at the barbecue on the table, obediently put his hands in front of him, and waited for him to wipe his fingers with a wet towel before gearing up for the barbecue.
"Wow, you bought so much, can we finish eating?"
Hearing this, he curled his lips and took the things out of the bag and placed them in front of her in boxes one by one.
"I believe in the strength of both of us."
"Then I won't be polite, let's eat the shrimp first, hey, there are gloves, then why are you forcing me to wipe my hands?"
"..."
Did I force you? Didn't I take the initiative to wipe your hands for you!
Shi Rao grabbed the head of the shrimp, peeled off the shell and brought the meat to his mouth, "I'll give you the first one."
Qiu Cheng hooked his thin lips, and opened his mouth to bite off the shrimp meat from the tail, "Sure enough, the ones peeled by my wife are different, and they taste better than the ones peeled by myself."
"Stop here, you're not married yet, don't take advantage of me."
The two sat around a desk, happily eating barbecue under the lamp, the fly in the ointment was that there were only drinks but no alcohol, Shi Rao didn't dare to drink carbonated drinks, so Qiu Cheng poured her a glass of warm water.
"I wanted to talk about it after eating, but I really couldn't hold back. I don't know who to say these words to except you."
Qiu Cheng, who was half full, couldn't help but sighed in his heart when he heard this: If you take the initiative to say it, I'm going to take the initiative to ask in a while. It's really driving people crazy.
"Tell me, what happened today."
"It's not me, it's Xie Yu. Her mother came back today, and the mother and daughter met and chatted for a while, but I don't know what to talk about."
"I just know that she doesn't want to see anyone now, and she must be so sad to death."
"She... closed herself again?"
It wasn't that he had a crow's mouth, it was Xie Yu's medical history that forced him to think this way.
"That's not true. She must be very sad. She turned off her phone and ran away from home, which worried my parents. I accompanied them to adjust the surveillance just now, and found that Xie Yu and his boyfriend had left."
"Boyfriend? Didn't they break up?"
Shi Rao curled her lips innocently, "How do I know, maybe it's because the relationship is broken. The emotional matter is different from other things. If there is no way to say it, it will be broken."
"Then what are you worried about? Since she took the initiative to go with him, it means that nothing serious will happen. She just wants to avoid us."
Hearing this, Shi Rao turned around and sighed with regret, "I know what she's thinking, but I just have a lump in my heart. You said... If you don't like children, why do you want to give birth to them? Let the children suffer, and you can't bear it." suffer too."
Knowing that this topic was not just about Xie Yu's problem, Qiu Cheng took off the disposable gloves and looked at her seriously.
"If you really can't let go, find a chance to talk to her."
"No, I don't talk to her about why she abandoned me back then. My self-esteem forbids me to do such a thing, and neither does grandma's spirit in heaven."
Looking at the woman whose eyes were red and still trying to be brave, he raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, patted her on the back and said.
"Cry out when you feel uncomfortable. In front of me, you don't have to hold on."
Before he could speak, he felt a wetness coming from his right shoulder. Shi Rao buried his head on his shoulder and sobbed softly with his eyes closed. This forbearance made him feel like a knife was twisting his heart.
