Just in the middle of dinner, all the lights suddenly went out, and the whole room was shrouded in darkness.
"What's going on?" Even with the cover of darkness, anyone could tell that Jiang Cheng's tone was unkind.
Tong Xingtao's voice came from the darkness, "Maybe... there's a power outage..."
Jiang Cheng looked out the window. There were bright lights outside, and it didn't look like there was a power outage at all.
"By the way, because I was busy with the funeral some time ago, I didn't pay the electricity bill..." Tong Xingtao's voice became softer, and he also realized that he was derelict in this matter.
"XXX's!" Jiang Cheng finally couldn't help but yelled, pushed the chair away and walked out.
Chu Xueying felt extremely complicated inside as she listened to the chaos at the dinner table. With the dim light outside, she could distinguish Jiang Cheng's figure and chased after him.
Jiang Cheng had just walked outside the door when he heard a low cry from behind him. Kankan turned around and suddenly found himself knocked to the ground by something. When he touched the other person's cold palm, he realized that it was Chu Xueying who had fallen on him. Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng began to worry, and the irritability in his heart became less irritated. He immediately asked softly: "It's so dark, you were not careful. Did it hurt from the fall?"
Hearing that Jiang Cheng's voice became much more normal, and feeling the warmth of his palms, Chu Xueying felt relieved and replied softly: "I'm fine. It's just that... are you okay?"
Jiang Cheng thought that Chu Xueying had seen through her thoughts, and couldn't help but feel hot on his face. Fortunately, it was in the dark at this time, so he didn't have to worry about being seen by the other party. Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm fine, I'm sorry..."
"I know what you're thinking."
When Jiang Cheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little awkward when speaking, "Zhi...what do you know?"
Instead of the expected angry reproach, Jiang Cheng felt Chu Xueying lean her head in his arms and heard the other party's soft voice in his ears.
"I know you are worried about me. You are so angry because you are afraid that my amnesia cannot be cured. You have always cared about me so much. I only hate myself for why I still can't remember everything about you."
Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his image in Chu Xueying's mind would be so kind, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed. Not knowing what to say for a moment, Jiang Cheng just helped Chu Xueying up in the dark, and the two of them walked to the door with careful steps.
The street lights are bright, illuminating the lovers cuddling together, freeing each other's eyes from the darkness and looking at each other's faces.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Chu Xueying comforted Jiang Cheng, her voice as gentle as a dream, "I will definitely remember it, for you..."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but trembled when he heard this. Chu Xueying felt the other party's reaction and asked worriedly: "What's wrong? You don't look good. Are you sick?"
"It's nothing." Jiang Cheng avoided the other party's gaze and whispered, "Maybe it's too cold outside. Let's go in."
When he walked into the house again, it was no longer as dark as before. Fortunately, Tong Xingtao found a few candles and finally lit up the room. Chu Xueying said optimistically: "Look, there is light again."
Jiang Cheng nodded reluctantly, but his mood didn't get much better.
After eating the rest of dinner, Jiang Cheng sent the weak Chu Xueying back to the bedroom, while he wandered in the hallway. He looked at the mobile phone in his hand, which showed a series of missed calls, more than ten of them all from "Guan Peng", and the light from the screen illuminated his face in uncertainty.
Finally, Jiang Cheng sighed, raised his finger and pressed it on the screen.
"Jiang Cheng?" The other party seemed surprised that the call was connected.
"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Guan." Jiang Cheng replied in a low voice.
"It's really hard to get in touch with you!" Guan Peng's voice was rich and he sounded like he was in his forties or fifties.
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, made an apologetic expression, and said, "I'm really sorry. There were too many things going on here, and I didn't notice the phone call for a while. Did you call me? Do you have anything to do?"
Guan Peng smiled and said, "I don't know about you, but you probably think you are related to a rich girl and don't bother to contact me, the editor-in-chief of a small magazine."
"What's the matter? You're too worried." Jiang Cheng smiled awkwardly.
"I have read your resignation letter," Guan Peng said. "You don't have to think about it to know what you are thinking. You are free to answer my call so late. It seems that you are having a good time in Yilin City."
Jiang Cheng thought to himself, what was this old guy planning to do after seeing the resignation letter and still making so many phone calls. After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng was not ready to break up with the other party yet, so he still asked politely: "You were joking. By the way, you called, did you have something to do?"
"By the way, it's time to get down to business." Guan Peng seemed to have remembered the purpose of the call at this moment, and Jiang Cheng couldn't help but curse a few more times.
"You are in Yilin City now, right?" Guan Peng asked again, seeming to confirm something.
Jiang Cheng had no choice but to answer yes.
"Great." Guan Peng said in a much happier tone: "I have a job here. I wonder if you are still interested?"
"Work?" Jiang Cheng thought about his current predicament and really needed an income. However, he also knew that Guan Peng was an old fox, and this job might not be an easy job, so he hesitated for a while.
Seemingly seeing through Jiang Cheng's doubts, Guan Peng said: "Don't worry, although you no longer work for us, we will never treat you badly in terms of fees. We are all our own people. I will give you this job How about five thousand?”
This number would have been ignored a few days ago, and Jiang Cheng's arrogant and arrogant character would have ignored it, but this time it was different. After all, unless the safe is opened, Chu Yan's property will remain in the mirror and can only be seen but not touched. And judging from Chu Xueying's physical condition, there may not be any results for a while. Five thousand yuan is enough for him to survive for a while.
Guan Peng was afraid that Jiang Cheng would find it too little, so he added, "Five thousand yuan is a lot, and this is just the first payment. When the work is completed, I will give you... ten thousand yuan, how about it?"
Now Jiang Cheng really couldn't sit still, and immediately asked: "What kind of job is it?"
"This job is simple!" Guan Peng heard Jiang Cheng's heartbeat and said with a smile: "It's just a very simple job. I need you to find someone."
"Looking for someone?" Although Jiang Cheng didn't understand what the other party meant, he still listened patiently.
Chu Xueying lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Although she was weak, she spent the whole day in bed, and when it was time to sleep, she suffered from insomnia. She wanted to go find Jiang Cheng, but when she got outside the door, she heard the other party talking on the phone, with words such as "resignation", "work" and "expenses" being used from time to time. Chu Xueying thought that during the period when she was sick, Jiang Cheng took care of everything. Although she has lost her memory, she also knows that medical treatment is expensive. I am afraid that Jiangcheng is already very strapped now.
