This passport was obtained by Xu Huaisong after she was unhappy with Li Shican last time.
I just got it yesterday, and I want to discuss it with him after the meeting at Huanshi today and when the work schedule for the next stage is clarified.
Her idea of applying for a passport was very simple.
During the time in the foreign country, the two struggled with jet lag and distance every day, but they still had communication problems. Since her job itself does not have strict geographical restrictions and has sufficient financial conditions, she thought that when he flew to the United States next time, she might be able to follow him and come back together after finishing his work with him.
But the idea goes beyond that, too. When she applied for this passport, she really didn't think about settling in the United States.
Xu Huaisong came back to China for her, she should have known about it a long time ago, and heard it from him in Su City a few days ago. But maybe he made this decision lightly from the very beginning, and she also subconsciously thought that his return to China was "returning the fallen leaves to their roots" and that his family members were "happy", so she didn't see this matter in the same way as Lu Shenglan did. high.
Although emotionally speaking, she didn't like Lu Shenglan's attitude, but she looked at it rationally, and she woke her up a little bit. —In this relationship, she did pay much less than Xu Huaisong, and she is gradually addicted to it, getting used to accepting it, and slowly taking his kindness for granted.
She is a forward-looking person, facing the missing eight years with him, she is not overly depressed. But everything has two sides. She put aside the past and lived in the present, but also ignored his possible painful struggles in that past.
Ruan Yu glanced at Xu Huaisong who was driving, feeling indescribably annoyed.
It was really impossible for him to bring that up, but she could actually try to ask him.
Why didn't she ask
Xu Huaisong looked forward and asked, "Did you get scolded at the meeting?"
She shook her head to indicate no, and said silently: "I was thinking, am I..."
"Um?"
She lowered her head, clutched the corner of her skirt and said, "It's pretty selfish..."
Xu Huaisong frowned. Just as he was about to ask more questions, he suddenly heard a vibration from her mobile phone, so he stopped.
Ruan Yu glanced at him, opened his phone casually, and found that it was Li Shican's message: "I forgot to tell you, Wei Dong seems to have plans to go abroad in the near future, you can rest assured for a while."
Xu Huaisong glanced at her dialog box and saw the source of the news.
She looked up and explained: "He told me that Chairman Wei is going abroad soon."
He said "um", opened his mouth as if he wanted to continue the topic just now, but then gave up and said, "What do you want to eat?"
When the two returned home after dinner, Xu Huaisong went to take a shower first.
Ruan Yu nestled on the sofa in the living room, seeing that he hadn't come out for a long time, took out his mobile phone to send a message to Shen Mingying, skipped some private details about him, and briefly talked about today's events.
Ming Ying: "Aren't you telling me now that you plan to live with him in the United States?"
It's about life and the family behind it. Of course, Ruan Yu can't make a hasty decision. She paused for a moment, and was about to say that she was just thinking about it. Halfway through typing, she saw a series of question marks from Shen Mingying: "How long have you been dating? You can count two Month, half of the time is still in a different place, are you sure it's not a fever? What's his opinion on this matter?"
She ignored the first two questions and replied, "He's in the shower, I haven't talked to him yet."
And she estimated that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would be called back directly with "no need" or even "impossible".
Ming Ying: "What about your house?"
Nephrite: "I have to think it through myself before I mention it to my family."
Ruan Yu was right, he didn't even think about it, so of course he shouldn't blindly disturb his parents. But these words were transmitted to Shen Mingying's eyes through the screen, and they might be misunderstood as "cutting first and playing later".
So she "fried her hair": "When you are in love, sacrifice is sweet, but can you guarantee it in the future? Let's not talk about anything else, imagine that kind of life, you are going to be in a big house in a foreign country. A lifetime canary?"
"When he returned to China, it was just a new start of his career, but you are not familiar with the place there, and you have nothing but him. There will always be conflicts in daily life. What should you do when you quarrel, or even when your relationship turns sour?"
"To put it bluntly, you are far away from home alone. If someone bullies you, he can protect you. But what if he bullies you? You can't just tie yourself up to a man regardless!"
To put it bluntly, this means that close relatives and close relatives have their own side, and whoever stands on the point of view, thinks for whom.
Shen Mingying's harsh words came fiercely and fiercely. Ruan Yu hadn't prepared a reply yet, just watched her one after another. At some point, Xu Huaisong had already come out, wiping his wet hair with a dry towel , eyes fell on her, but did not speak.
She was disturbed by Shen Mingying's words, and seeing him still a little dazed at first glance, she said out of words: "Have you finished washing?"
Xu Huaisong let out a "hmm".
She put down her phone and went to get a hair dryer: "Then sit down and I'll blow your hair today."
Xu Huaisong glanced at the mobile phone on the sofa that kept vibrating and popping up new WeChat messages, and sat down on the chair.
The sound of the hair dryer cut off the noise of the news.
After helping him dry his hair, Ruan Yu sat down beside him and said, "Huai Song, I have something to tell you..."
"Take a bath and rest." He interrupted her, "I have to go to Suzhou City for business tomorrow morning."
Ruan Yu didn't go to the law firm today, and didn't know their work progress, so he nodded in a daze: "Then we'll talk about it when you come back."
Xu Huaisong might be really tired, so he slept right away.
In the early morning of the next day, Ruan Yu wanted to ask him if he could take him with him, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that there was nothing around him.
A note was left on the bedside table: "Breakfast is in the refrigerator."
She felt that the atmosphere between Xu Huaisong and herself was weird, and she didn't know if it was because of something on her mind, or if there was something wrong with him.
Puzzled, she sent a message asking when he would be back, and after getting a reply of "Evening", she went to the supermarket to buy dinner ingredients, but unexpectedly received a call from him on the way back.
Xu Huaisong said, "Are you not at home?"
"Ah?" Ruan Yu was stunned, "I'm on the way home from the supermarket, and I'm about to get into the elevator, what's the matter?"
Without getting a reply, Ruan Yu soon knew what was wrong. Xu Huaisong, who was supposed to be in Su City, returned home, and it looked like he should have just arrived.
She was stunned: "Why did you come back suddenly?"
"A temporary decision not to go."
She smiled and shook the shopping bag in her hand and said, "That's just right, these are for lunch."
Ruan Yu was about to turn around and go into the kitchen, but Xu Huaisong suddenly came forward, took out the shopping bag from her hand, put it on the ground, and then hugged her from behind.
Caught off guard, her heart trembled somehow.
Xu Huaisong tightened his arms and buried his chin into her shoulder without saying a word.
.
She turned her head in confusion: "What's wrong?"
He didn't answer, and asked silently: "I still have to go to the United States in a few days. Wei Jin's matter has not come to fruition. I don't feel relieved that you are here alone. Do you want to go with me? The passport can be processed urgently. I can also find connections for visas.”
Ruan Yu originally wanted to talk to him about this matter, but when he took the initiative to speak, he replied without hesitation: "Okay!" After a pause, he turned around and said, "I already have a passport, just help me arrange a visa. "
Xu Huaisong's network in the United States is really powerful. Ruan Yu's visa is not a back door, but a "plane".
Until a few days later when she got into the car with her luggage and went to the airport, she still felt that she was not slowed down, but her mood became a little more cheerful.
What is there to hesitate about? It is not too late to seriously consider the future from now on. Instead of thinking about it, it is better to walk the path he has traveled and see the life he has lived, and maybe it will suddenly become clear.
September in Hangzhou was still scorching hot. Ruan Yu was sitting in the passenger seat blowing on the air conditioner. It was so stuffy. He opened the car window and took advantage of the red light to feel the wind. He said, "The temperature in San Francisco is so different from here."
Xu Huaisong asked her to bring a few sweaters and windbreaker jackets this time.
"It will be a little cold sooner or later." He glanced at her, "I'm driving, put your hands back."
Ruan Yu said "oh", looked at the road ahead, and found a long line of cars moving slowly, and looked down at the time on his phone.
"It's good enough to drive through this section in time." Seeing that she wanted to catch a breath, Xu Huaisong turned off the air conditioner, and drove the car at a leisurely pace. After half an hour, the surrounding traffic flow was indeed much less, especially on crossroads. Behind the Haiqiao Bridge, the shadows of the cars in front can still be seen, but there are only a few cars behind.
Ruan Yu looked back and asked, "Is the bridge so empty this weekend?" Before he could answer, he said "Hey" again, "How long is your driver's license, so you can't go on the highway?"
Xu Huaisong looked at her: "Haven't you been driving for seven years?"
Oh, for trainee drivers, they can go on the expressway accompanied by old drivers.
Ruan Yu glanced at him: "Actually, you brought me with you because of this!"
Xu Huaisong smiled, but did not speak.
After driving more than ten kilometers all the way, because the speed of the car on the bridge was relatively fast, and the sea breeze was getting stronger, Ruan Yu turned his head and closed most of the windows.
There was no car coming from behind, but a black BMW driving very slowly fell in front.
It is estimated that the car was stuck at the lowest speed, and the following car was so frustrating.
Xu Huaisong checked the time, turned on the turn signal to overtake, and when he was parallel to it, Ruan Yu subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the owner of the car.
Then I froze.
Xu Huaisong had already driven ahead, noticed that her expression was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"That car seems to be Wei Jin..."
She passed by in an instant, she wasn't sure, but this man's appearance was indeed so sharp that she was very sensitive.
Xu Huaisong didn't have any special reaction: "Didn't Li Shican say a few days ago that he was going abroad? He probably went to the airport as well."
Ruan Yu nodded, and glanced back through the rearview mirror.
Looking at it, I found that the speed of the BMW car was fast and slow, and the route was driving crookedly, pressing down on the line of the next lane from time to time, and then turning back almost dangerously, as if drunk.
Just as she was about to ask what was going on, Xu Huaisong, who was also looking in the rearview mirror, frowned.
He asked: "After we got on the bridge, how many cars came behind?"
Ruan Yu was indeed wondering about the road conditions behind him just now, and said, "Only two or three cars?" After speaking, he became puzzled, "So, there seems to be no cars coming over the reverse lane?"
Xu Huaisong frowned even tighter.
She blinked in a daze, and realized: "Could it be that the roads at both ends of the bridge were closed shortly after we came up?"
This road situation is really wrong. There should be no other explanation other than sealing the way.
But why is it blocked
From Xu Huaisong's extraordinarily serious expression and the weirdness of the BMW behind him, Ruan Yu seemed to understand something, and tightened his seat belt.
She kept her eyes on the back, and after a while, she saw Wei Jin suddenly speeding up and driving the car up.
"What is he trying to do?" Ruan Yu couldn't help trembling his lips.
Xu Huaisong closed the car window, took off her hand holding the seat belt and held it in his palm, and said, "I'm here, nothing will happen."
She gave a low "hmm" and watched the BMW accelerate to a position parallel to them, staring straight ahead without daring to turn her head.
Xu Huaisong turned to the right while turning the steering wheel, and exchanged a glance with Wei Jin.
After one glance, the BMW slowed down and fell back behind them.
It seemed that he was speeding up just now, just to confirm this.
Xu Huaisong continued to drive forward at a constant speed, and said, "There is a woman in the co-pilot of his car, and her expression is not right."
Ruan Yu asked nervously, "Could it be a hostage?"
"possible."
So I'm afraid it really happened to be a temporary anti-drug operation by the police.
Ruan Yu's heart beat faster, and he glanced at the rough ocean under the bridge.
The two ends of the bridge are closed, and there are six lanes on the bridge, only a few cars that have not yet passed, like an isolated island.
She swallowed dryly, and the next moment, she saw a police car speeding up from the opposite lane, honking its horn. At the same time, in the rearview mirror, the BMW shifted gears and backed up, backing up rapidly.
Wei Jin held the steering wheel with one hand, and put an orange dress on his body with the other.
In a flash, Ruan Yu understood.
Both ends of the bridge are blocked, he is wearing a life jacket and preparing to jump into the sea!
The police car on the other side of the isolation strip was pressing on, and the BMW car made a 180-degree turn and began to drive in the opposite direction.
Xu Huaisong raised his eyes, and suddenly said: "Sit still." Then he also reversed the direction of the car and chased after him.
Ruan Yu grabbed the armrest.
She knew why he did it.
Jumping from here is an adventure chosen by Wei Jin in order to get rid of the crime. He may escape successfully, or he may be buried in the sea.
But Xu Huaisong couldn't let him take such a risk.
In a ten-year old case, this operation was the only breakthrough.
The Xu family, the Jiang family, and the Wang family have all been waiting for this day for ten years.
Wei Jin cannot die.
He must accept legal sanctions and return the truth to everyone.
Xu Huaisong glanced at the police car outside the separation zone, took advantage of being closer to Wei Jin, stepped on the accelerator, and galloped all the way towards him.
