Dark clouds covered the sky, and the catkins sat in the office, turning his head to look at the gloomy clouds outside the window. The assistant knocked on the door, put down the document greetings, and said with a smile, "It has been raining these days."
The rainy season in New York finally arrived in the summer. The drizzle has been continuous these days, and the assistant is annoyed again, "Mr. Liu, do you hate rainy days too?"
The catkin smiled slightly and said nothing.
Then the phone rang, and she said, "I have left beforehand."
Drive to another place.
The scenery of the city passes by, and the people on the streets of New York are mostly passers-by who don't like umbrellas. Catkin glanced at him, thinking about the weather, probably he can't hold an umbrella either.
What's more, he is still playing.
In the community basketball court near the apartment, from a distance, I saw the figure that leaped up. It was a figure of Jiao Jian that he controlled the basketball with one hand and slammed into the basket.
Catching this scene, the catkins couldn't help slowing the car.
Only at this time, will Catkins look at him almost presumptuously and greedily, because no one will see her attentiveness, so that he can have a full view of his figure.
He loves to play, and Catkins has always known it.
She even knew that he would play like this when he achieved his wish and was upset. It was like celebrating with joy, more like releasing and venting, and more like thinking about what to do next.
Hold an umbrella and waited on the outside of the basketball court. Only in this drizzle, Catkins suddenly remembered the beginning of her and him. It was also such a rainy day.
There was a popular saying, if you love someone, please send him to New York, if you hate someone, please send him to New York.
Because this is heaven, because it can also be hell.
This is how my father took his mother and grandmother to the unaccompanied United States, and came to such a city that can be heaven or hell. Bringing all the dreams and longings, such a passion came, but in the face of reality, everything became the backbone and cruel, unfolded naked, and became bloody and incomprehensible.
Catkin’s childhood was full of quarrels and crying, and the only thing she could do was to hold the hands of her grandmother and younger brother and go to the small park for a day. That was the happiest time.
After the failure of the business, the hopeless father finally fell into a drug addiction. In exchange for what he wanted, he beat his mother severely and even forced her to be a young lady.
So heaven is no longer, here is just hell.
The mother who staggered alive in pain and suffering, finally after another severe beating, she couldn't bear the pain and chose to commit suicide.
Looking at the bathtub in the bathroom, a pool of water, bright red flowing out, was shockingly greeted by the eyes, and the catkins couldn't even scream.
It is said that suicide is the solution chosen by the cowardly people, but Liu Xu feels that in fact, it takes a lot of courage to dare to commit suicide. Catkins didn't think that her mother had done something wrong, she just chose the most comfortable way to relieve herself. It's just that she seems to have forgotten one thing, that is, she promised them that when they get home, she will make omelet rice for them.
The younger brother asked her later: Sister, why hasn't my mother come back
Catkins couldn't answer, she couldn't tell him, in fact, her mother was dead.
After the mother's death, the grandmother carried the beam and did everything possible to take care of their siblings, but how she could protect them was nothing but futile.
My father kept beating and scolding grandma, and constantly beating and scolding her and her younger brother. He was full of fear and horror. There was no sunshine in life, and the world was too cruel and cold.
At the coming-of-age ceremony for her eighteen years that year, her grandmother told her that starting today, she has finally grown up.
Catkins hadn't had time to rejoice in her growth at this moment, but her father began to repeat the same mistakes again, like forcing her mother to pick up guests. When she refused to agree, he beat and scolded, and even took the man back to the apartment directly. On that day, he even deliberately sent away his grandmother and younger brother, leaving her alone and helpless.
It's no use begging anyway. The father who is addicted to drugs is like a beast, with hatred and hatred, and the scene of his mother committing suicide suddenly jumps out, and the catkins pushes away the one and grabs her. The strange man who was brought into the room picked up a knife and stabbed the other side fiercely. During the dispute, she stabbed the blade at her father.
The blood was flowing at a rapid rate, and my father fell to the ground, wailing with strange men's wailing, and the catkins was still holding the knife. She was trembling and she suddenly rushed out. She wants to find her grandmother, her brother, and she wants to go where they are.
She forgot to drop the knife, the patter of rain in the night.
The night road was faint, such a blur, and during that run, the catkins slammed his head and ran into the man who was rushing back to the apartment building.
In the rainy night, his eyes were black and bright, and there was no end of the umbrella in his hair, and a slow curtain of rain fell.
She had seen him a long time ago, and the tenants who lived in the same building met up and down the stairs at the corner of the corridor.
But they never spoke a word, let alone said hello, but at that time, she was holding a knife, at a loss, without direction, not to understand where the courage came from, and she opened her mouth.
She begged him: Help me.
Their beginning was not romantic or warm, and even dark and bloody, but the result was unexpected.
He actually saved her and took her out of that hell.
Later she asked him: What is your name
He replied to her: Kent, just call me this.
She was not reconciled, so she asked again: I was asking, your Chinese name.
After a long silence, he finally answered: Nie Xun.
"Crack—" With a cry, the sound of the basketball hitting the ball frame again brought the catkins back to reality. Seeing the drizzle in front of me, my eyes were full of haze, but the figure of the man was so striking.
Hate rainy days
No, actually she doesn't hate it at all.
Even in this world, everyone hates it, but she will not hate it.
Because if it doesn't rain that day, maybe he won't come back early, then she won't meet him.
No one will understand how much she likes the rain in New York.
Only in the drizzle, Catkins watched him stop playing, and she walked over, "You still want to play when it rains?"
Is he in a good mood today or is he in a bad mood? Catkin looked at his profile. After a heavy dullness, she seemed to have made a final decision. She heard him say, "Proceed as planned."
If it is according to the original plan, it should be in a good mood.
Catkin nodded, "Yes, just send someone to go."
Nie Xun looked at her and said intently, "You."
He stretched out his hand and brushed her hair wet by the rain. He said again, "dress up as her."
"Who?" The catkins was surprised.
"Song Qiyue." Nie Xun said the person.
In fact, this was not a dangerous journey, but a trip to Switzerland to withdraw funds. This is not the first time, and the catkins know the way. But why is it her, why should she be pretended to look like Song Qiyue.
Liu Xu already knows the relationship between Song Qiyue and him, and even more knows the bond between them, but why does he want to do this.
That night, Nie Xun took her to change clothes. He carefully selected clothes and accessories, carefully to the point where it was chilling. Catkins never knew that he could have such a careful side. When she appeared in front of him with a new look, she met his fixed eyes.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, he gently supported her shoulder at an angle, "This way, it looks like her."
Only then did Liu Xu realize that she actually had a side that could be like that woman named Song Qiyue, but she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Unknown, she embarked on a trip to Switzerland, following his instructions.
In fact, everything went according to plan. Liu Xu knew that Nie Xun had already obtained Mo Zhengyan's account from Song Qiyue. Then, as long as the funds were transferred away, it was only a matter of time before he defeated Jiuyuan and Mo's defeat. But she was faintly aware that, to this day, it seemed that it was not entirely for this purpose.
Coming to Switzerland on this day, the catkins will go to the bank to withdraw funds.
She knows where the system camera of Swiss Bank is, where the best picture can be taken, and which area is no longer in the surveillance camera. She met with the staff of the bank, she walked through the shot perfectly, completed all the procedures, and smoothly removed the funds and transferred them, and no one would notice it.
When everything was settled, Catkins returned to New York, but in about ten days, she returned to his presence.
"You did a good job." Nie Xun sat on the sofa and praised her, but his eyebrows clearly did not color joy.
On the coffee table beside him, there was also a candy jar, which was filled with candy, wrapped in multicolored sugar paper. He took one out and gave it to her as a reward for completing the task this time. Just like every time in the past, as long as she finishes, he will give her a candy.
This is a tacit secret between them. For Catkins, it is like a sweet warmth, where she will give everything for it and is willing to do it.
The world is too bitter, only candy can make people happy. But at this moment, the sweetness of candy does not seem to be enough.
Liu Xu originally wanted to ask a lot of why, such as why she was asked to pretend to be, why the bank had to take the shots, and why, he was obviously not willing to Song Qiyue.
Although she thought about it thousands of times on the road, she didn't ask about it. She only asked one question. She shouted, "Nie Xun."
She rarely called his name like that, and she only called him by his English name in her daily life.
She asked him, "Back then, you saved me and helped me because I looked like her."
Of all the doubts, this is the most terrifying one. When the catkin stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, when she is dressed and dressed, deliberately pretending to be Song Qiyue, the thoughts in the bottom of my heart will sprout, and let her She thought of the time when we first met, it was the beginning of everything.
Originally, she was the culprit of the wounding, but in the end, the father and the strange man ended up arguing with each other. Her father was also judged to have been stabbed to death by accident, and the strange man was sentenced to jail.
The whole story is unknown, but Catkin knows that she is the one who killed her father.
Catkins never knew why Nie Xun would be willing to help her. They were not relatives, they didn't know each other, they were just strangers.
But I thought that God really existed, so I met such a person. But it turned out that it was just a beautiful setting that he thought. In fact, the reason why he would help is only because she looked a little like the girl he knew, the girl he always remembered.
That is his sister, the woman named Song Qiyue.
But what is this
The skin relationship between them, could it be sex, this kind of unreasonableness made the catkins dare not think about it.
Nie Xun sat in front of her, looked at her silently, and said to her, "You are tired after a trip, so take a break early."
After the words fell, he had already left, leaving only the jar of candies.
The catkins was stunned, the color of the candy paper became blurred, and his mind was at a loss, but he couldn't stop turning. He couldn't help thinking about the reason why he did this, whether he was desperate or why.
Just when the catkins fell into the mist, turmoil began on the Hong Kong city side, because the case had already been revealed in the plan, and a series of news was shocking.
"The Jiuyuan Group here in Hong Kong sent the project leader, Miss Song Qiyue, to the police station. Now the police are investigating and interrogating her. The situation at Bona is the same..."
"Jiuyuan held a meeting internally. General Manager Mo Zhengyan did not come to the company, but he personally approved the sending of the person in charge, Ms. Song Qiyue, to the police station for investigation..."
"... The Gangcheng Crime Investigation Bureau found two related accounts. The funds were transferred one after another. The first transfer account belonged to the person in charge of Bona, Ms. Cheng Qingning, and the second transfer account belonged to the person in charge of Jiuyuan Song. Miss July!"
When these two accounts were opened, Liu Xu was stunned, and Nie Xun did not expect it.
Of the transfers of the two accounts, one of them was confirmed, but the other did not. Even if one was placed, one should still belong to Mo Zhengyan. But now, the two accounts actually belong to Cheng Qingning and Song Qiyue respectively.
There are multiple parties to the plan, and everything becomes unknown. Whether it has been discovered a long time ago or the partner has broken the trust, neither of these two questions can be known.
It’s just that the only thing that can be assured is that the funds of 500 million pounds have indeed been in his hands.
Willow Xu asked, "What shall we do with this money?"
"Let it go first." Nie Xun was so determined.
While the case continued to be investigated, according to judicial procedures, the catkins were also called back by the Gangcheng police to assist in the investigation. Scraping censorship and debates in court again and again, Catkins was present as a bystander. She watched Song Qiyue's trial and Mo Zhengyan testifying to her face to face, but Nie Xun did not appear again.
After going down court, Liu Xu went to the studio. She knew he would be there because he was a closed disciple of Mrs. Qi.
Faced with Song Qiyue's trial in court, Nie Xun never said anything from beginning to end. He seemed to have left her behind, and he seemed to be fighting for the last time. But until the eve of the judgment of the first instance, Nie Xun still did not move.
The catkins came to ask again, "Kent, it's already twelve o'clock, what's your decision."
"Do you want to protect it or not." She looked at his figure and said in a condensed voice, "Today will be the first instance verdict."
Nie Xun said nothing, as if he had already withdrawn and ignored him.
He was always ruthless in doing anything, but he didn't expect it to be the same for his sister. But she clearly saw the struggle in his eyes, and she realized that he was hesitating too.
Unexpectedly, on the day of the judgment of the first instance, Song Qiyue pleaded guilty in court and requested that he be sentenced to death, but he did not show up, let alone visit her.
Catkins had already guessed that there must have been a contradiction between them, or even a gap. She told him the verdict that Nie Xun was carving, but she said, "In this way, he will send her to prison with his own hands."
This abrupt words sounded weird, and suddenly my heart twisted, and the catkins trembled suddenly. Could it be that he wanted to cut off the bond between Song Qiyue and Mo Zhengyan, so he let go until now, more It even added to the flames and asked her to pretend to be her, but what is the purpose of all this, such a paranoia
No, this is impossible!
This kind of intention, this kind of thought, is this really what a brother should have to his sister
The catkins panicked.
Just after Song Qiyue was sentenced, even more unbelievable news came. She refused to appeal, and she was in a state of dying illness while serving her sentence in prison, almost in a state of death.
"Bang—" The art knife was carved with plaster, and it was obvious that the tip of the knife was crooked, and the statue had failed again, and there was a tendency to re-sculpt it. Nie Xun was determined to be there, his face was resolute and stern, but his expression was terrifying.
Catkins had never seen Nie Xun showing such a look, as if everything was out of control and not planned, it was like playing a game of chess to the end and discovering a wrong position. He stayed there for a long time, and she did not dare to approach. He didn't notice that all the utility knives fell to the ground.
I don’t know how long I’ve been sitting in this way. When night falls, the morning light is rising again, and the catkins shouted, "Nie Xun?"
In a daze, he turned his head and stared at her with a heart-wrenching gaze.
Catkins immediately stepped forward, she wanted to hug him, her hand stretched out, and she wanted to pull him into her arms, but at this moment, Nie Xun held her hand back, "Catkins, I want you to go Do one thing."
"What." Catkins was startled.
Nie Xun said, "I want you to find someone, her name is Tao Sitian."
When Song Qiyue was sentenced, the first thing Nie Xun told her to do was to ask her to find a lady named Tao Sitian. Liu Xu went to contact her under the pseudonym and concealed her identity. She really contacted this Miss Tao and also learned that she and Song Qiyue had a great friendship, and that she was willing to enlighten and help her overcome this difficulty. .
How to overcome the difficulties is the problem.
Nie Xun said, "Please try my best to persuade that Miss Tao and tell her that she is not alone. Also, what she cares about most is the child."
"Then how to fill the vacant funds?" Here is Catkin's doubts. Could it be that he would use all the funds he swallowed to fill up, so that it would not be a waste of money.
Nie Xun said, "Bona will make up for 50% of the money. As for the remaining 50%, I will pay."
"Transfer half of that 500 million pounds?" Catkins thought.
But Nie Xun refused again, "No."
Catkins was stunned, so instead of using that 500 million pounds, he wanted to use his own personal funds
It turned out that he did so. He ignored the 500 million pounds and mobilized his own funds. He told her to contact Miss Tao and transfer 250 million pounds into Miss Tao's account. The catkins obeyed one by one, but during this period, when the funds were about to be transferred, catkins contacted Miss Tao, but the lady Tao said, "Hello, the money has already arrived in my account. I checked it and there is nothing wrong with it. Please rest assured, Mr. K, I will try my best..."
She had not had time to transfer the account, but the money had already arrived in her account, and she even regarded it as Nie Xun. Catkins became suspicious at this moment. Could it be that someone was secretly making arrangements? Could it be that someone borrowed the name of Kent to find this Miss Tao. Unfortunately, Nie Xun also really made a move.
But who is this person
Zhou Suhe, Song Lianheng, who else...
Could it be that he, Mo Zhengyan, the youngest of Mo's family
Catkins hesitated, she fell into thinking for a long time and couldn't get back to her senses. She should have told Nie Xun immediately about this weird news, but thinking of him, thinking of Song Qiyue, thinking of the friendship between them, which is different from ordinary people, the catkins stopped.
Only selfish thoughts remained in her mind. She wanted to hide this secret as if she didn't know. At that moment, Liu Xu felt selfish, thinking that if one day in the future, if Nie Xun knew that he hadn't saved Song Qiyue, then he would definitely regret it. I even thought that if Song Qiyue knew that someone else had rescued her from distress, then she and that person, no matter who they were, would have a hard time getting out of relationship.
That selfishness must be certain, Liu Xu suppressed the money, and she told Nie Xun, "The thing has been done."
Sure enough, the mysterious person who contacted Ms. Tao behind the scenes did not show up. With the help of Ms. Tao, Song Qiyue gradually recovered. Because of her child, she really cheered up. Nie Xun's words are not biased at all. As a psychiatrist, he has calculated everything.
While Song Qiyue was serving his sentence, Nie Xun left Hong Kong for the United States, during which they did not contact. Only secretly, Nie Xun again told her to figure out a way to find out if everything is well.
News about Song Qiyue came intermittently. It was heard that Song Qiyue was performing well in prison, that she was expected to be released from prison before commutation, and that she was very optimistic, which made his mouth soar.
But this is still not enough. Nie Xun is not satisfied with this. Too depressive sentence will make people sluggish. In order to release her early, he is deliberately thinking about it.
On this day, I learned that in prison, Song Qiyue had made a cellmate named Wu Qiong.
She saved Wu Qiong's life, and the two had a good relationship. After investigating Wu Qiong, she found that she had made great achievements in design. Using this as a breakthrough, I immediately contacted the organizer of the design competition, and even contacted behind the scenes to make an exception to allow prisoners to participate. But in order to ensure the notarization of the event, it must rely on design talent.
So that year, with Wu Qiong as the main creative, Song Qiyue participated in the design competition and successfully won the prize with his own ability.
After that year, Song Qiyue was released early because of his good performance.
After she was released from prison, Nie Xun came to pick her up and took her out of Hong Kong City.
As a result, Catkins and Nie Xun have been separated for some time.
Later, I took office during the Longyuan period. After a long time, I saw Nie Xun and Song Qiyue both appear again. Only this time, they appeared as a director of capital injection. Song Qiyue changed. She was no longer what she used to be. She's gone.
As if recognizing it again, Liu Xu said hello, "Director Song, hello."
There are some things that Nie Xun didn't tell Song Qiyue. For example, in fact, the president of Longyuan, the person who really founded Longyuan was Nie Xunben. But I am afraid, Nie Xun will not tell her.
Only in this way, they are both in and out, so open and honest, there is no longer any hindrance.
But she, like Nie Xun, became a stranger again, even worse than a stranger.
If you’re someone you’ve never met before, you can still say “good” after meeting the other person, and even ask the last sentence: This gentleman, can you ask for your mobile phone number.
But it was impossible for her and him to be like this. They didn't have the past, and all their acquaintances seemed to have been put to an end. They were recalculated from the appearance of him and Song Qiyue.
It was another cold January of the year, and they came to Norway to negotiate projects in Northern Europe on the way to the north.
The weather was cold, and there was a lot of white gas.
The sun was very good that day, and Song Qiyue sat on the fallen tree trunk in the snow to bask in the sun. Catkins glanced at it, and she started to build a snowman, probably because she was bored and didn't care.
But after I don’t know how long, I suddenly heard a stern shout, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The catkin was taken aback, and immediately ran out. The faster person was Nie Xun. He had already shot out like an arrow and ran towards Song Qiyue.
The catkins also ran over, only to see Song Qiyue covering her eyes. She kept crying, "Brother, my eyes, my eyes..."
The shout was shocking, and Nie Xun picked up Song Qiyue and ran back to the hut where they lived.
The catkins froze in place, hurriedly trying to run back, but when they lowered their heads, they saw the snowman in the snow. Just a lonely snowman, not in pairs.
The snowman's body was written with branches, the handwriting was not clear, and perhaps even with hatred, inextricably entangled, it became messy and fuzzy.
But I can see clearly that the catkins clearly saw the three words written-Mo Zhengyan.
After watching the snow for an afternoon, Song Qiyue suffered from snow blindness since then.
Liu Xu didn't know if Nie Xun saw the name on the snowman, maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
But she knew that Nie Xun must not know. In fact, the person who helped the inmate Wu Qiong secretly was not only Nie Xun, but also another person. She knew exactly who that person was, and it was not exactly what the snowman was. The one who wrote.
The sun burst down, the white snow was dazzling, and the catkins couldn't help laughing. This world is really ridiculous.
Mingming loves someone, but he refuses to say anything.
Perhaps that is really an unspeakable secret, only time, God, and Bai Xue testify.
So, so Nie Xun, me too.
