Liu Xu stood on the edge of the terrace, staring at the rare flowers blooming in the garden below against the cold winter, with dazed eyes.
It was a cold winter night, but she was only wearing a smooth champagne-colored silk dress, standing gracefully in the wind, her lazy curly hair was blown a little messy, part of it fell on her thin and smooth shoulders, Part of it was flying with the cold wind, struggling.
Suddenly, there were footsteps approaching from far away.
The eyelashes of Liu Xu standing by the railing trembled slightly, her hands on the railing slowly shrunk, and then tangled together, until the sound of footsteps approached, she pulled away her clenched hands and turned her head sideways.
The person who came was against the light, with a slender figure and a blurred appearance. Her eyes were filled with surprise, and her tone was sweet and soft: "Song Shao."
Song Xuanhe stopped in his tracks, turned his eyes around Liu Xu, and showed no expression when he saw that she was wearing clothes that could not keep out the cold at all, and nodded casually: "I heard Huang Cong said you were looking for me?"
"Yes." Liu Xu turned around and hugged her arms with her hands that were already stiff with cold on the railing. She raised her head slightly, but lowered her eyes, revealing her fragile and pale face and slender neck. Said: "I asked you to come out today, in fact, I want to apologize to you."
Keeping a distance of one and a half meters from Liu Xu, Song Xuanhe had a hint of interest in his eyes, but seemed a little puzzled on his face: "Apologize?"
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
Liu Xu raised her eyes. Her eyes were beautiful, round and elongated, pure and charming. Looking at it from Song Xuanhe's perspective from top to bottom, she was a little fragile and innocent, with light eyelashes. With a slight tremor, it is very distressing and affectionate.
Song Xuanhe was unmoved, everyone in the entertainment industry is very good at using their appearance advantages, and Liu Xu is no exception.
Moreover, he is a fashion designer, and he has seen countless handsome men and beauties. It is difficult for ordinary people to impress him. In addition, fashion shows basically need to decide the makeup of the models according to the clothing and the scene of the show, and the makeup artists of the models Most of them have part-time jobs, so he is also very familiar with all kinds of makeup.
For example, now, he can see Liu Xu's elongated and drooping eyeliner, which fits perfectly with her eye shape and almost blends into one, making her look pure and elegant. All these visual effects are caused by subtle changes in makeup to make.
Liu Xu wanted to sway Song Xuanhe with her acting skills matched with makeup, but she really didn't understand him.
Seeing such a boring trick, Song Xuanhe showed a little impatience between his eyebrows and eyes: "Apologize and explain the reason directly, don't hesitate."
Liu Xu covered her arm and paused with her trembling hand, looked at Song Xuanhe who looked indifferent with watery eyes, then bit her lower lip and said, "Actually... Song Guochao Song Boss' lover would go to your house to make trouble, It's also my responsibility."
Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows, motioning for her to continue.
After staying outside for a long time, Liu Xu was already shivering from the cold. Seeing that Song Xuanhe really didn't feel sorry for Xiangyu at all, she bit her lower lip and loosened her teeth a little, and hugged her arm even tighter, saying: "I really couldn't see Song Xuan at that time. Mr. Song actually kept his first love without telling Mrs. Song and the Li family, and he was also angry that he was his first love's substitute, so he sent all the information he found to Zhang Xiuya... "
Seeing that there was no change in Song Xuanhe's indifferent expression, Liu Xu let out a low cry, lowered her head and said, "I really didn't expect Zhang Xiuya to be pregnant, and I didn't expect that she would have other thoughts and go to the Song family to make a fuss. Sorry for the publicity of this..."
"Finished?"
Liu Xu was taken aback for a moment, and when she looked up, tears filled her eyes, and she said, "I... Young Master Song, can you forgive me?"
Song Xuanhe sneered: "Even if you want to find someone to forgive, it shouldn't be me. The real victims are Song Guochao and my mother. If you really regret it, you should go to them and apologize. If you finish talking, I will leave. "
"Young Master Song."
Seeing that Song Xuanhe really left as soon as he said he would, Liu Xu has no time to think about anything else, and quickly grabs his arm.
She hurriedly said: "Young Master Song, I can't find Mr. Song. I was too scared when I heard about the Song family, and I didn't dare to speak out clearly. However, it didn't take long for Mr. Song to find out about me. He now They have already regarded me as the culprit, and have even announced that they want to block me, and I have nowhere to go."
Song Xuanhe frowned and said, "So what do you want me to do?"
Liu Xu's eyes lit up, thinking that Song Xuanhe had finally compromised and was ready to help her, so she hurriedly said, "I just need you to tell the company for me, just, just say that you are my friend."
"Are we friends?" Song Xuanhe broke away from his hand, and from the corner of his eye he saw the metallic luster of the dark building opposite him, and the corner of his mouth curled up and said, "If I remember correctly, Liu Ying and I Not really a friend after all."
After finishing speaking, Song Xuan, who knew that Liu Xu's goal had been achieved, raised his legs and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took two steps, a soft body was stuck behind him. The bumpy body was close to him, making his body stiff for a moment, and when he regained consciousness, he had already pushed Liu Xu to the ground.
Liu Xu didn't expect that Song Xuanhe was not only not interested in throwing her into his arms, but also rudely pushed her away. She had never been treated like this before, and she knelt on the ground for a while without reacting.
Song Xuanhe's face had completely turned cold. Liu Xu's actions just now reminded him of what happened a long time ago, and his mood of wanting to cooperate with the performance disappeared in an instant. He turned and left without looking back.
Ever since Song Xuanhe left, Huang Cong had been chatting bitterly with Xiao Yuanmu, and within ten minutes, he felt as if ten years had passed.
Xiao Yuanmu is really the hardest person Huang Cong has met in all these years, the hardest to please and the hardest to find a common topic of conversation.
In addition to the topics related to Song Xuanhe at the beginning, Xiao Yuanmu also teased a few words, and after he gave him a cold look, no matter what he said afterwards, Xiao Yuanmu's expression changed. There is no change, always indifferent and calm, and occasionally he only speaks a word, so he doesn't know how to answer it.
Huang Cong is best at observing words and expressions. His usual flattery is also based on the micro-expression of the object of flattery to be so successful. However, this method is completely useless on Xiao Yuanmu, because his face has no eyesight at all. Show a little emotion!
In the past 30 years, coupled with the particularity of his occupation, Huang Cong has met all kinds of people, including many people in high positions, but those people will always show their seriousness unintentionally, even if they are majestic and talk less. Subtle emotional changes, so Huang Cong always thought that under his people-observing skills, there is no one who can hide his emotions.
Now that he saw Xiao Yuanmu, Huang Cong knew that he was watching the sky from a well, but he didn't want to gain knowledge at all, he just wanted to leave this place where he was fighting with each other.
However, even if he wanted to turn around and leave again, he didn't dare to leave casually, so he could only pray in his heart that Song Xuanhe would come back quickly.
I don’t know if God heard Huang Cong’s prayer, but when he squeezed his smile and tried to find something to talk to Xiao Yuanmu, while praying for Song Xuanhe to come back soon for the ninety-ninth time in his heart, Song Xuanhe finally appeared In his line of sight.
"Young Master Song!" You are finally back!
The coldness on Song Xuanhe's face hadn't faded yet, when he suddenly saw Huang Cong's exaggerated expression as if he saw the savior, and put down the foot he had just raised, vaguely intending to walk in another direction.
Huang Cong took two steps in three steps, ignoring even his overly eager and exaggerated movements that might reveal that he was unwilling to stay with Xiao Yuan for a long time and offend others. He grabbed Song Xuanhe who was about to turn around, and said excitedly: "You I'm finally back, Mr. Xiao and I were very worried about you just now, you don't know that the entertainment industry is complicated and sinister, and sometimes a few words will become a talking point, we are all very afraid that you will say the wrong thing or be calculated by others."
Song Xuanhe wasn't quite used to being touched by others for the time being. The moment Huang Cong caught him, his brows that had been relieved just now frowned again, and he pulled out his hand, saying: "If you have something to say, don't move your hands. .”
Huang Cong said with a smile, "I was too excited and worried about you just now."
Song Xuanhe glanced at Huang Cong, walked away from him and walked to Xiao Yuanmu's side, and asked, "What did you talk about just now?" Scared him like that
"It's nothing." Xiao Yuanmu glanced at Song Xuanhe's slightly tensed jaw, and grabbed his hand placed by his side with a wide palm, tightened his strength when he was struggling, and said lightly: "Since the matter is over, Let's go back."
Song Xuanhe couldn't break free from Xiao Yuanmu's restraint, his already slightly tense jaw became more tense, and his voice became cold: "Let go."
Huang Cong, who was just about to answer the conversation, saw the tense atmosphere in front of him, swallowed the words in his mouth, took a step back and said haha: "I suddenly remembered that Yingdi Xue was chatting with me just now, since Young Master Song is here , I’ll go there first.”
After speaking, he held his breath and glanced at the two who didn't even give him a glimpse from the corner of his eye, heaved a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
"Your hands are a bit cold." Xiao Yuanmu said lightly, "You're shaking."
Song Xuanhe was taken aback for a moment, his struggling movements paused, and he turned his face away and said, "The terrace is too cold."
Xiao Yuanmu looked at his drooping thick eyelashes, a dark light flashed across his eyes, and his voice was much softer: "Let me cover it for you."
Hearing this, Song Xuanhe pursed his lips and stopped struggling.
Early the next morning, Song Xuanhe was woken up again by the continuous phone ringing again and again.
He frowned and rumpled his messy hair even more. After looking at the phone call alert, he lay back on the bed, slowly stretched his arms and legs, closed his curly eyelashes, and fell asleep while the phone rang. I felt a sense of returning home.
When Song Xuanhe got up completely, there were more than 20 missed calls on his phone, all from Song Guochao. He laughed and threw the phone on the bed, turned around and went into the bathroom, took a shower and changed his clothes I just went downstairs.
This morning's breakfast is pasta. I have to say that Xiao Yuanmu's seafood pasta is also a must. He will get up on time without staying out of bed, just for this bowl of pasta.
When they went downstairs, the pasta was already on the table, the TV in the living room was on, but Xiao Yuanmu was nowhere to be seen.
Song Xuanhe looked around but couldn't find anyone, hesitantly wanted to go to the restaurant, and saw Xiao Yuanmu coming out of the balcony with his mobile phone.
Xiao Yuanmu glanced at him and said lightly, "Let's have breakfast."
Song Xuanhe nodded, he didn't expect Xiao Yuanmu to be on the phone so early in the morning, he turned around, suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up: "Who were you calling just now, was it Yang Jie last time, Last time I heard that he seems to have registered a company, does he want to ask you to change jobs?"
Xiao Yuanmu paused, then turned to ask him, "You really want me to quit?"
"I shall..."
Before Song Xuanhe finished speaking, he heard his cold voice say: "Then take advantage of the trend and break up with me?"
The expression on Song Xuanhe's face was suspiciously stiff for a second, and then he suddenly turned his stiffness into surprise, and with Oscar-level anger and disbelief: "Why do you think so!"
"I think you said that because you wanted to resign and then break up with me!" Song Xuanhe backlashed back in time: "If you didn't think so, why would you say that? Your saying that proves that you have thought so."
After finishing these illogical and absurd words, Song Xuanhe suppressed the corners of his mouth that were slightly raised because he thought he was witty, and looked at Xiao Yuanmu with doubts in his eyes.
Xiao Yuanmu raised his eyebrows, moved his chin slightly, and pointed in the direction of the living room.
Song Xuanhe looked in the direction his chin was pointing at. The morning entertainment news was being broadcast on TV. The anchor of the entertainment news was a young girl. According to reports, Liu Yinghou had a secret meeting late at night with Xiao Xianrou. It is said that Xiao Xianrou is not an insider. Some insiders revealed that Xiao Xianrou is the rich second generation of a big family. He has excellent looks and body. He has been in love with Liu Yinghou's sister and brother. For a while, the exposure of the photos this time actually has traces, I don’t know if it means that Liu Yinghou’s good news is coming soon! Liu Xufang has not responded yet, we will follow up and report.”
Song Xuanhe: ...
"You wake up early in the morning to watch the entertainment news?" Song Xuanhe looked at Xiao Yuanmu with condemnation in his eyes, "The entertainment news is all fake, and most of the photos are synthetic."
Just as Song Xuanhe finished speaking, a few photos appeared on the big TV screen in the anchor room just now. A tall and tall young man was pulled by a catkin, and a young man was hugged by a catkin from behind. The young man's face was slapped. No code, but anyone who attended the banquet yesterday can recognize that it is Song Xuanhe.
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes turned to Song Xuanhe's face, as if he was looking at what explanation he had.
Song Xuanhe's expression was very surprised, with a trace of anger: "I just said what she did to pull and hug me yesterday, so it was to frame me like this!"
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes were icy and cold, and he asked without showing any emotion: "You didn't know before?"
"No..." Song Xuanhe turned a corner: "I know a little bit, she wants to use me to fight Song Guochao to solve her current plight of being hidden by the snow. I just don't deal with Song Guochao, so I want to follow her I meant to disgust Song Guochao, I never thought she would be so bold."
Xiao Yuanmu looked at him for a long time and asked, "You don't like catkins."
Song Xuanhe answered firmly: "Of course I don't like it."
"Then who do you like?" Xiao Yuanmu asked again the second after he answered.
"Anyone..." Xiao Yuanmu answered too quickly just now, which made him almost fall into the trap, even though Song Xuanhe, who had braked, rolled his eyes and said, "I like whoever I'm with."
Knowing that Song Xuanhe didn't tell the truth, but Xiao Yuanmu, who didn't care much about his truth at first, wasn't angry. Instead, seeing the cunning in his eyes, he curled his mouth and stopped pursuing this topic: " Let's eat."
On the way to the company, Song Xuanhe's cell phone kept ringing. He drove without looking sideways, and he didn't seem to hear the ringtone. Xiao Yuanmu, who was sitting by the side, also looked out the window thoughtfully, not saying anything to Song Xuanhe. The cell phone that has been ringing non-stop since getting in the car is interested.
Now Yang Jie is helping him solve the mergers and acquisitions of several companies whose current prospects are very bad, but they will definitely develop in the future. The mergers and acquisitions are carried out smoothly. Help manage foreign industries that are about to expand.
Everything is going very smoothly. If it goes according to plan, the company will be on the right track within three months. By then, he will have to leave here.
Leaving China and going to the United States was a plan he had made after his rebirth. From the time he received the first lottery ticket, which was more funded than in his previous life, everything he planned to do was carried out step by step according to the plan, whether it was in terms of policies or To counter the Xiao family's consideration in the future, Huaguo has never been the starting point for the company's headquarters development in his plan, and leaving Huaguo is an indispensable step for him.
He never thought that he would be held back by anything or anyone. In fact, Song Xuanhe would not make him change his mind, but he didn't know why, thinking that he would not be able to hear Song Xuanhe's casual words when eating in the future It was delicious, and his desire to cook by himself was greatly reduced.
This is just a very small matter, but for Xiao Yuanmu, who is never swayed by outsiders, it is something that can make him vigilant and think deeply.
The phone rang again, this time the ringtone was different from before, Xiao Yuanmu withdrew his thoughts, and turned to look at Song Xuanhe who was talking into the Bluetooth headset.
I don't know what was said there, although Song Xuanhe's mouth was smiling, but his expression was a bit cold, Xiao Yuanmu moved his fingers on his lap, this was the first time he saw Song Xuanhe's face. To such an explicit repulsion and disgust.
So, when Song Xuanhe hung up the phone, Xiao Yuanmu asked curiously: "Who?"
The coldness on Song Xuanhe's face did not fade, and he said, "Liu Xu."
Xiao Yuanmu looked away, thoughtful. Before yesterday, Song Xuanhe didn't have such an expression when he mentioned Liu Xu. Even when Huang Cong reminded him what Liu Xu was going to do, he even said something for Liu Xu. What happened last night changed Song Xuanhe's attitude overnight. such a huge change.
Involuntarily, Xiao Yuanmu thought of Song Xuanhe's tense expression when he came back from the terrace and his repulsive actions when facing other people's touch.
This kind of sudden repulsion and mood swings, so it is said that he refused to be touched by others because he was in a bad mood, more like... the response when he encountered something, or suddenly encountered a scene that he didn't want to recall anymore. irritating reaction.
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes dimmed, and the stress reaction of refusing physical contact usually occurs after psychological damage caused by forced physical contact...
The car slowly drove into the parking lot. When parking, Song Xuanhe put his hand on the handbrake. Xiao Yuanmu inadvertently stretched out his hand and brushed it. Song Xuanhe didn't respond, but just gave him a strange look.
Xiao Yuanmu untied his seat belt with a calm expression. Generally, people who really have a stress reaction can hardly control their emotions, and it will be difficult to ease their emotions for a while. However, Song Xuanhe kept calm last night. He is also very restrained when he refuses to be touched by others. It can be seen that although the injury he received before had an impact on him, the impact was not too great.
While waiting for the elevator, Xiao Yuanmu lowered his eyes and thought, perhaps Song Xuanhe's stressful reaction was the reason why he never really had close contact with him in any life.
Song Xuanhe didn't know what Xiao Yuanmu was thinking at all, nor would he know that just for a while, Xiao Yuanmu had already found out the reason why the original owner didn't touch him. If he knew, he would definitely admit it immediately and be completely safe. The big brother's heart.
The elevator door of the high-rise elevator opened, and the assistant to the president's office who was about to step out widened his eyes when he saw Song Xuanhe, and hurriedly said, "Second Young Master, you are here!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that his voice was a little excited. He glanced at the other employees at the opposite party waiting for the elevator. The assistant lowered his voice and invited Song Xuanhe to the elevator, and then said: "The president is waiting for you in the office. Take a detour to the president's office, don't let Mr. Song catch you, he came to the company this morning and went straight to your office, it's definitely not a trivial matter to be aggressive."
"What does my brother want from me?" Song Xuanhe said casually, leaning on the elevator with his arms crossed.
"It's not about today's entertainment news."
Song Xuanlin's assistant, like Song Xuanhe's assistant Zhang Chao, is a life assistant who grew up with them since they were young, so they know the privacy of their home better than others.
"You're not at home. Director Song said you were messing around when he saw the news in the morning." The assistant said, "Don't bump into Mr. Song's wooden warehouse later, he's taking advantage of this meeting, and he probably has been holding back for a long time. I can only let you go over and teach you in one breath."
Song Xuanhe glanced at him with a half-smile, and asked, "That's how you arrange Mr. Song."
The assistant smiled. He is Song Xuanlin's life assistant, and he is naturally very familiar with Song Xuanhe. Hearing him say this, he knew that he was just joking, but he still had to talk about business: "At this time, Dong Song is not just asking you for trouble. For his little private matter, you now hold 20% of his and his wife's shares. When the scandal between you and Liu Xu broke out, even Song Dong was a little angry. In short, you'd better not conflict with him."
"Are the shares cabbage?" Song Xuanhe laughed nonchalantly: "Turn around as soon as you say, and change the holder every few months?"
The assistant also knew that this matter was unlikely, but the influence on Song Xuanlin was completely different when the shares were in the hands of Young Master Song, who had no intention of inheriting the company, and in the hands of Song Guochao, who had great ambitions for the company. Think more about it.
Song Xuanhe naturally knew what the assistant was thinking, but he wouldn't expose it. Just when the elevator door opened, he raised his chin: "Lead the way."
The assistant nodded quickly, raised his legs and took a step forward. After confirming that there was no one around, he told Song Xuanhe again: "I will open the way ahead and take you around a few departments before going to the president's office, but Mr. Song is on this floor. Waiting to catch you, so if you see Mr. Song, go first and leave me alone."
Song Xuanhe sneered: "Do you think you are a spy?"
The assistant turned his head and wanted to tell Song Xuanhe that this matter was really serious, but before he could speak, Song Xuanhe stood up straight, raised his eyebrows and said to him: "You don't need to open the way, Mr. Song has already found him gone."
