Quiet.
An awkward silence.
No one answered here, Wei Chen's voice continued: "What's wrong? It's not convenient to answer the phone now?"
Zhou Nan snapped back to his senses, his eyes were like X-rays, trying to see through Song Xuanhe's guilty conscience under his calm appearance, even Xiao Shenglin was a little puzzled, he had never heard that Song Xuanhe had a good relationship with Wei Chen, but Wei Chen With a familiar tone, they didn't look like they just met each other.
Song Xuanhe turned off the speaker without changing his face, put the phone to his ear, and said, "Mr. Wei, hello."
"Didn't you say your name last time?" Wei Chen laughed and asked, "Mr. Xiao is by your side, right?"
"No." Song Xuanhe met the two pairs of puzzled eyes, and smiled with his lips drawn, but his voice was a little cold: "It's just that we just met once, I didn't expect you to call me to invite me to dinner."
"Didn't I hit it off with you?" Wei Chen's voice was clean and hearty, but when he spoke again, there was a hint of disappointment: "I thought we were at least ordinary friends, but I didn't expect that I was being self-indulgent."
Song Xuanhe's smile remained unchanged, and he replied unmoved: "Since you have thought about it now, then I will not say more, goodbye."
"Hey, hey!" Wei Chen quickly raised his voice, and said quickly, "I'm looking for you to talk about business! I have a project that I want to recruit you into. It's a sure-fire deal. Let's talk about it over dinner. "
"Sorry." Song Xuanhe said, "I'm not very interested, goodbye."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Weichen to say more, Song Xuanhe hung up the phone directly.
Zhou Nan crossed his chest and stared at him with a cold look: "Tell me honestly, when did you have a secret relationship with that kid Wei Chen, and he even called you to have dinner, frankly lenient and resisting strictness, saying no If you know it, don't leave."
There was not much food left, and Song Xuanhe happened to still be able to eat, so he picked up his chopsticks again and said, "This dish is good, you should eat more, it's shameful to waste it."
Zhou Nan: ...
"I just heard you say that you only met Wei Chen once, did something happen?" Even if Xiao Shenglin had doubts, his voice was gentle and gentle: "Wei Chen has a relatively independent personality, except for the two friends who grew up together , I almost never heard of him taking the initiative to ask anyone out for dinner."
Song Xuanhe then put down his chopsticks, and replied, "Didn't you just say that Wei Chen hit someone, and he hit Xiao Yuanmu."
Zhou Nan's eyes widened: "Fuck, what a coincidence?"
Xiao Shenglin frowned, and said worriedly: "Xiao Yuanmu is okay."
"It's nothing, it's just flesh and blood injuries." Song Xuanhe said, "Wei Chen invited us to dinner to make amends, so he left a contact information."
"He makes amends?" Zhou Nan's eyes widened even wider than before, "Will Wei Chen make amends? You didn't know that when he was in high school, he used a brick to chop off the head of a school bully in his school. The school bully's family is not vegetarian either. They were making trouble, and it happened to be the time of the change of term, and the Wei family couldn't make a mistake, just like that, they were almost pinned down, and Wei Chen never apologized."
"The school bully may have caused trouble on his own." Song Xuanhe said lightly, "But he is solely responsible for bumping into someone, so naturally he has to make amends."
"I've grown up so much, I never heard that Wei Chen made amends to anyone, not to mention apologies, I've never heard of apologies, he is very proud." Zhou Nan clicked his tongue twice, and suddenly thought: "He can't be Have some intentions, otherwise why do you have nothing to do?"
Xiao Shenglin smiled when he heard the words, and asked: "What plan?"
"I like the beauty of Xiao Yuanmu from the second family of the Song Dynasty." Zhou Nan nodded affirmatively after finishing speaking, and said, "The more I think about it, the more I think that's the case. After all, your little boyfriend really doesn't look like that. You know, after Qian Qin's banquet is over, there are countless people who have inquired about him, and it doesn't seem strange to Wei Chen."
"Guess, keep guessing." Song Xuanhe just looked at him lazily, waiting for him to continue.
"It's not all possible." Zhou Nan muttered, but still changed the subject tactfully: "This weekend your cousin's company opened and held a reception. They should have called you too. Are you going or not?"
Song Xuanhe finished the last bite of his favorite dish, wiped his mouth and thought about it seriously, and said: "My roommate from college also had an opening reception on the weekend, he only called me last Friday, and the address is Baiyue Clubhouse. "
"That's a coincidence." Zhou Nan didn't know what to think of, and said with a smile: "Your cousin may not have thought that the partner he found is actually your college roommate. Do you think he will look if he knows, haha Ha ha ha ha… "
Song Xuanhe nodded. He only knew it was about the plot when he received the call before, so he agreed without saying anything, but he didn't expect that one of the big hosts at the reception was a cousin who was very difficult in his original memory.
Zhou Nan smiled for a while and asked, "Then are you going or not?"
"Go." Song Xuanhe said casually, "I promised my classmates, so I can't break my word."
Thinking of the way Song Xuanhe and Song Jiabao faced each other before, Zhou Nan couldn't help laughing again, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he didn't hide his gloating.
Xiao Shenglin sighed, and said: "Can you stop acting like you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, if Xuanhe and Song Jiabao fight again, the Song family will have another toss."
Song Xuanhe knew that Xiao Shenglin was reminding him in a disguised form, fearing that he would cause trouble in public on impulse, and Song Guochao would not give him a good face at that time, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will eat everything , just don’t suffer.”
After dinner, Zhou Nan was going to the bar, Xiao Shenglin also had an appointment, Song Xuanhe went home by himself.
As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted with an extremely tempting fragrance. Because of this smell, his stomach that had just been filled suddenly had room to fill food again. Song Xuanhe followed the smell and walked into the kitchen.
Xiao Yuanmu turned his head when he heard the voice, but he didn't show any expression when he saw him, and said indifferently: "I'm back."
After a few days of not hearing the greetings that I used to have every day, Song Xuanhe paused before casually answering: "I'm back."
Then he leaned over to the side of the pot, saw the fragrant and red shrimp tails in the pot, swallowed his saliva without any trace, and asked, "How long will it take for the lobster to be ready?"
Xiao Yuanmu was frying the prawns in the pot. Even when he was cooking, he stood up straight and his movements were very pleasing to the eye. He lowered his eyes when he heard Song Xuanhe's voice, and said after a few seconds: "Didn't you have dinner?"
"You can eat again after eating." Song Xuanhe stared at the pot without blinking, impatiently: "How long will it take to cook?"
"Now."
Xiao Yuanmu turned off the fire, put the shrimp tails into a bowl, took the bowl and went straight to the restaurant, leaving Song Xuanhe behind.
Song Xuanhe was not annoyed, and sat down behind him, looking eagerly at the shrimp tail in front of him, even though he was very greedy, he didn't do anything, but asked, "Can I eat it?"
"You didn't wash your hands." Xiao Yuanmu took off his apron and said calmly, "Go and wash your hands."
Song Xuanhe nodded, walked quickly to the kitchen to wash his hands, and came back, sitting opposite Xiao Yuanmu, the smell of shrimp tails filled the dining room, he sniffed quietly, looked up at Xiao Yuanmu: "Then I ate it." .”
"Let's eat."
After getting the approval letter, Song Xuanhe impatiently took a shrimp and put it into a bowl, then endured the heat to peel off the shell of the shrimp, rolled it in the soup, and finally put it into his mouth.
After carefully chewing, Song Xuan and Liang Jingjing's eyes were full of satisfaction, and the corner of Xiao Yuanmu's mouth on the opposite side unconsciously evoked a satisfied smile.
However, the smile was only for a moment, and Xiao Yuanmu's eyes quickly flashed suspicion. In his memory, Song Xuanhe never ate garlic, and would frown and lose his temper when he smelled a little garlic. He remembered eating out once , the waiter forgot to tell the chef about not adding garlic. After the dish was served, Song Xuanhe got very angry, and finally the waiter was fired directly.
However, not only did Song Xuanhe in front of him not show any aversion to the smell of garlic, but he was also satisfied when eating the shrimp tails, which was completely different from what he remembered.
Xiao Yuanmu lowered his eyes slightly. In his fused memory, Song Xuan and eating anything he made were in such a state of satisfaction and joy, and he didn't even realize that as long as he saw something he wanted to eat, his eyes would When it lights up instantly, even the voice when speaking will be much softer.
At least in normal times, Song Xuanhe would never add any coquettish tone words like "ah" to him.
It is precisely because of this other side that he is not even aware of, that he fell into a little bit of daily relationship before rebirth, and finally fell in love with Song Xuanhe.
"Is it tasty?"
Song Xuanhe raised his head, the corner of his mouth was covered with a little sauce, he swallowed what was in his mouth, wiped off the sauce from the corner of his mouth, and then answered: "It's delicious."
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes flickered, and he picked up a shrimp tail in his lowered eyes, put it in the bowl and slowly pushed it away, before he said lightly: "I remember you hated the smell of garlic before."
Song Xuanhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "When? Why don't I know?"
Xiao Yuanmu paused for a moment with his fingers pinching the shrimp meat, then raised his eyes and said, "Maybe I misremembered."
"It's your memory that's wrong."
Song Xuanhe picked up a shrimp tail again, without any change on the surface, but quickly called the system in his mind: [The original owner didn't eat garlic before?]
The system hesitated for a while, and said uncertainly: [No? It's not written in the book.]
Song Xuanhe: [Then why did Xiao Yuanmu ask such a question suddenly?]
System: [Maybe it's just a wrong memory, it's normal for human beings to remember something wrong.]
Song Xuan and Wen Yan frowned indiscriminately. It is normal for others to remember something wrong, but it is very abnormal for Xiao Yuanmu to remember something wrong.
In the book, Xiao Yuanmu relied on his super memory to keep Song Xuan and the Song family's bidding documents in the study firmly in his mind, and teamed up with Song's old rival to deceive the Song family. I still remember that old enemy didn't believe Xiao Yuanmu at first, but Xiao Yuanmu performed shorthand in front of him.
It is also this near-genius memory that won many business battles for Xiao Yuanmu in the future, because often a forgotten or ignored detail will become the key to success or failure.
So Xiao Yuanmu would suddenly ask such a question, most likely for the purpose of testing. But now that Xiao Yuanmu has not been reborn, what is he testing
He was already very full just now, but now he suddenly had something on his mind, Song Xuanhe stopped eating after eating a few more, went to the kitchen to wash his hands and prepared to go upstairs.
As soon as he came out of the kitchen, his mobile phone on the table rang. Xiao Yuanmu paused when he saw the name on the screen, and then a dim light appeared in his eyes, and said, "Your mobile phone is ringing."
Song Xuanhe wiped his hands, glanced at the caller and answered, "What's the matter?"
Liu Xu's voice came, soft and delicate: "It's nothing, I just called to remind you not to forget about tomorrow's business."
Song Xuanhe frowned slightly, and said lightly: "I won't forget, is there anything else?"
"No more." Liu Xu was silent for two seconds, still a little unwilling to say: "Didn't you come to the set because of me?"
Song Xuanhe paused, then chuckled: "Director Huang's latest film is ready to start shooting, and I invested in it, what do you think?"
Liu Xu didn't speak for a long time, and then said in a disappointed voice, "I see."
After hanging up the phone, Song Xuanhe raised his legs and walked out. When he walked into the living room, he remembered something, turned his head and said to Xiao Yuanmu: "I won't go home for dinner tomorrow night, so you can prepare it yourself."
Xiao Yuanmu raised his head, his eyes dimmed: "Because of catkins?"
Song Xuanhe was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that Xiao Yuanmu must have seen the name of the caller just now, so he nodded and said: "Yes."
"You accompany her to dinner." Xiao Yuanmu's expression was flat, and his voice did not fluctuate much: "Why."
Song Xuanhe said vaguely, "Because of some things."
He didn't expect that Xiao Yuanmu, who didn't say a word before, would pursue this matter, but he and Liu Xu met for the Song family's affairs. Judging from the progress, Xiao Yuanmu should have collected a lot of information about the Song family. Whether it's gossip or business secrets, he doesn't want to add anything to him. After all, the stability of the Song family is more beneficial to his plan.
However, Xiao Yuanmu, who usually doesn't speak, wanted to get to the bottom of it, and continued to ask, "What's the matter?"
Song Xuanhe frowned. What he disliked the most since he was a child was that others would not let go of things he didn't want to say, so his tone became much colder: "It's none of your business."
After speaking, without seeing Xiao Yuanmu's reaction, he went upstairs without looking back.
In the afternoon of the next day, Song Xuanhe drove directly to Liuquxi after get off work.
This is a members-only teahouse, and the location is very secluded. Even though it is off-duty time, there are not many people inside.
As soon as he went up to the second floor, Song Xuanhe saw a well-dressed short man walking towards him, and when he saw him, he smiled and said, "Young Master Song, I have known you for a long time, I am Zhang Fei, Liu Xu's manager, please go this way .”
Song Xuanhe nodded lightly, said and led the way and followed behind him.
The two stopped at the door of a box, and the short man opened the door for him, and then waited outside.
Liu Xu stood up when she saw Song Xuanhe walking in. It was already a bit cold, but she was only wearing a dress with a deep V, showing her better figure to the fullest. She brushed her long curly hair on the side of her shoulders, Smiling to Song Xuanhe: "Young Master Song, please sit down."
Song Xuanhe sat down opposite her, with an expression as calm as when he came in, and said lightly: "The important things about the Song family and my parents are things I must know, and now you can say it."
Liu Xu was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly, Song Xuanhe asked directly without even saying a word of greeting.
She pursed her lips slightly, and said softly, "Master Song, why don't you drink some tea before asking?"
"No need." Song Xuanhe glanced at the steaming hot tea on the table, and said, "Why did you ask me to come over, just say what it is, I don't have time to waste with you."
Liu Xu pursed her lips, sat down too, and said after a moment of silence, "I came to you to talk about your father Song Guochao."
Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows, pretending to be interested.
Seeing this, Liu Xu felt a little better, and asked tentatively, "Do you know that your father has other women outside?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Song Xuan and Lanlan raised their eyes, their tone unpredictable.
"I, I was with Mr. Song some time ago." Liu Xu took a careful look at Song Xuanhe's expression, and seeing that he didn't fluctuate, she continued: "But after we got together, I found that he always regarded me as someone else's. The stand-in, at first I always thought it was Mrs. Song, but later I found out it wasn't."
Song Xuanhe sneered, and said lightly: "Of course not, how can you compare these things with my mother."
Liu Xu's face froze, and it took a few seconds before she lowered her eyes and said, "I know that in Young Master Song's eyes, I'm nothing more than a flirtatious mistress, but in this circle, and the difference in status between me and Mr. Song, I have to compromise, you can really look down on me, but you don't have to be afraid of me, after all, in the eyes of Mr. Song, I am just a substitute for his first love."
Liu Xu's words were very skillful, first she admitted her identity and sold it badly, then she belittled herself and brought the contradiction to the theme of this time, she deserves to be the one who won the Best Actress award in just two years, after all, the entertainment industry is such a big dye tank Here, being able to speak is more important than being a person.
Song Xuanhe cooperated very well. Hearing this, he raised his eyes to Liu Xu, his eyes were a little surprised, and his brows were slightly frowned. He said, "First love? What first love?"
"Don't you know?" Liu Xu's surprised expression was more realistic than Song Xuanhe's. She opened her lips slightly and said after a while, "That's the person your father was with before marrying Mrs. Song. I heard that the Song family was not married at that time." He agreed, so he reluctantly separated from that first love lady, and the contact has not been broken since then. "
Hearing this, Song Xuan and his brows frowned, and his expression became a little dignified. A few seconds later, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You should know what it means to lie to me, right?"
"Of course." Seeing that Song Xuanhe believed it, Liu Xu was overjoyed, but her expression was a little frightened. She took out a document bag from her bag, put it in front of Song Xuanhe, and said, "I have evidence, you will know it after reading it." up."
Song Xuanhe opened the file bag, he knew what was inside better than Liu Xu, so he glanced at it casually, and then asked, "Why did you tell me this?"
Liu Xu bit her lip, hesitated for a moment before saying: "I know my identity has no position to say this, but if I just want to be a mistress, I can accept it in order to survive, but I don't want to be someone else's substitute, and that person is still a mistress, I just thought, even with my status, I feel so sad, not to mention Mrs. Song, if she finds out, she will be hit hard, and although this matter is hidden deeply, if it comes out, it will also have serious consequences for the Song family. I have already done immoral things, and I can't just watch things continue to develop like this."
The first half of Liu Xu's words were sincere, after all, she really thought so herself, but the second half was so hypocritical that she almost put the flames in her eyes.
"You gave me this because of these?" Song Xuanhe looked up at her.
Liu Xu was stunned by him, and casually met his gaze and said sincerely: "I did do something wrong, but it doesn't mean I have no bottom line. I'm telling you this just to let you know, and I'm afraid of what will happen when the time comes. You and Mrs. Song are still in the dark about the matter, and have been hit hard."
Song Xuanhe was almost amused by her excellent acting skills. He lowered his eyes, as if he was hit by this incident, and said, "Thank you for this matter. If there is nothing else, I will leave."
Liu Xu looked at him worriedly, saw that he stood up and hesitated to speak, and then said: "Then you pay attention to safety, goodbye."
Song Xuanhe nodded, turned and left without looking back.
Walking out of Liuquxi, Song Xuan and Lumo's expressions changed, the corners of their mouths curled up and they said in their minds: [I found that Liu Xu was wronged by a small domestic award, but her acting skills are really good.]
The system deeply agrees with this, saying: [You humans are really cunning.]
Song Xuanhe just wanted to ask whether the cunning that the system was talking about was Liu Xu or him or the two of them, but before the voices in his head could be organized, he saw Xiao Yuanmu standing on the opposite road, even though he was separated by the rush hour. Song Xuanhe also felt the coldness in his eyes when the vehicles were touching each other.
At this time, the green light turned on, and the vehicles that were moving slowly stopped one after another. The pedestrians on both sides of the road were in a hurry, and there was endless traffic from one end to the other.
However, Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu who were standing on both sides of the road did not lift their legs.
When the green light was still ten seconds away, Song Xuanhe walked towards the opposite side and asked the system in his mind: [When did Xiao Yuanmu come.]
Just watched Song Xuanhe and Liu Xubiao's performance and didn't realize that Xiao Yuanmu's system was not more than a kilometer away from Song Xuanhe. The system was a little guilty. In order to make up for it, it answered quickly: [I just checked, from your company, He's right behind you.]
Song Xuanhe paused, for some reason, when he heard Xiao Yuanmu standing outside for at least half an hour, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
However, the green light time was about to end, so he could only continue to walk in the direction of Xiao Yuanmu until he stood beside him, then raised his head and pretended to be calm and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Yuanmu looked down at him, his eyes were deep, calm and unpredictable, his voice was clear and calm, but his answer was straightforward: "I followed you."
The author has something to say: Song Xuanhe: I have an ominous premonition.
