The best time is because of you
Chapter 10 The Prodigal Son is Not Worthless
Chapter 10
After crying for a while, a piece of clothing with body heat came under her hood to shield her from the cold rain in the early morning. Shuya turned her head and saw Chu Jie sitting beside her, a faint gap of light cracked in the distant sky, hazy morning light In the movie, his silhouette resembles a statue of a handsome man in ancient Greece, with perfect contours, making one's heart beat involuntarily.
Inexplicably, a surge of resentment welled up in her chest, Shuya tore off her coat, and threw it back to Chu Jie: "Who wants you to be hypocritical!"
"Hey——" Chu Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You changed too fast, you just finished using me, and you turned your face right away."
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could we be in today's situation."
"It's my fault too?" Chu Jie said, "Can you explain it to me? It's none of my business that the Cai family brothers are fighting for power and profit. I am their father, so why not return their mother?"
Shu Ya was obviously expressing anger, and raised her eyebrows: "If you hadn't made that damn bet, I wouldn't have left; if I didn't leave, I would have kept staring at my elder brother and second brother so that they wouldn't be able to make trouble. , it's you, this kind of person - despicable, shameless, wretched, stupid..."
Chu Jie pressed his forehead and sighed, ready to let her scold him to his heart's content.
But Shuya felt that it was boring, she let out a long sigh, put her chin on her knees, and silently looked into the distance.
Although the rain had stopped, the sky was still dark, and Chu Jie couldn't see the expression in her deep eyes clearly.
"Do you hate me?" He asked very seriously.
"How is it possible?" Shuya sighed faintly, "How could it be possible for me to hate you?"
Chu Jie was moved, and thousands of emotions surged in his heart.
Shu Ya said unhurriedly: "I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to do such boring things."
What is instant kill, what is disillusionment, Chu Jie's mood at the moment.
"Dead?" Only one wall lamp was lit in the hall. Under the dim light, Cai Junfeng's long and thin figure looked a little thin.
"I heard that he was shot five times and fell into the sea. The body has not been found yet. I went to identify the salvaged clothes. It is indeed the one Cai Wentao was wearing last night." Ye Qingsong held a diamond ring in his palm and handed it to him. In front of him, "Find this diamond ring from the interlayer of the clothes, it should be the one he took from Mrs. Shen Jiaheng."
Cai Junfeng picked up the diamond ring with two fingers, thoughtfully: "After Aya entered Extreme Night City, did she come out again?"
"Her car has been in the parking lot of Polar Night City. As for her, there are cars passing by outside Polar Night City. If she gets out of someone else's car, it's hard to see her. At around two o'clock in the morning, from inside Polar Night City A few cars drove out, and I checked the license plates, and they all belonged to Chu Jie's men."
Cai Junfeng pondered, looking down at the diamond ring in his hand, the diamond on the ring reflected a cold and beautiful luster as he turned his fingers.
Ye Qingsong waited for a while, and reminded cautiously: "Shen Jiaheng is very dissatisfied that we did not control Cai Wentao in time, so that people sneaked into his house."
Cai Junfeng snorted coldly: "His own wife helped Cai Wentao escape, but we are to blame?"
Last night, after Cai Wentao broke out from the ambush, he sneaked into the home of Shen Jiaheng, the president of Huafeng Group. In the process of the Cai brothers' struggle for power, one of the key factors for Cai Junfeng's victory was that he got Huafeng With the support of this big consortium, Cai Wentao sneaked into Shen's house with the intention of kidnapping Shen Jiaheng's young son as a hostage, but for some reason, he did not kidnap the child in the end, but got the assistance of Shen Jiaheng's wife, Du Xiruo, to escape smoothly.
"Brother Feng," Ye Qingsong advised, "this is not the time to be arrogant."
Cai Junfeng also knew in his heart that the position he had just taken was not stable at all, and Shen Jiahuan, a rich and powerful master, could not afford to offend him for the time being. Maybe he himself was not something to be afraid of, but as the son-in-law of the big chaebol Du Xiuyu, this level of status made people feel uncomfortable. I had no choice but to feel scruples, raised my hand and handed the ring to Ye Qingsong: "Give it to Shen Jiahuan, be careful, don't mention anything about Aya to him."
Ye Qingsong was indignant: "If you defend her like this, it may not be that she will appreciate it. It almost ruined our big event."
Cai Junfeng laughed, "Ah Song, no matter whether we have Aya or not, we can't accomplish anything. Admitting that we have no strength is at best a shame, but it's shameless to blame it on a woman."
"How could it not be possible?" Ye Qing didn't really believe it.
"When I worked with Shen Jiaheng, I didn't know that he had put Du Xiuyu's daughter under house arrest. Unfortunately, it's already deep in the mud and I can't get out."
"Isn't Du Xiuyu already dead?" Ye Qingsong disapproved.
"It's true that Du Xiuyu is dead, but do you think that the connections and forces he cultivated on the surface and in the dark during his lifetime are just for show?" Cai Junfeng snorted lightly, "Cooking oil on fire and warming fire on ice is almost the same as Shen Jiaheng's current situation. Looking at the scenery, it's just that he hasn't done anything yet, and he probably knows it in his heart."
"Then we—" Ye Qingsong hesitated, "What should we do?"
"I'm gradually converting Cai's group funds into personal legal income, and remitting them to Swiss bank accounts in stages. After your immigration procedures are completed, leave as soon as possible."
"What about you?" Ye Qingsong was concerned, "Brother Feng, the wealth you hold in your hands is enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life, so why not throw away the big burden of Cai's enterprise and immigrate to the country immediately."
"I have never been very interested in Cai's business. What I want to see is, if the Cai family's property is completely destroyed, without identity, status, and wealth, how will Cai Jiu's family of four be a wealthy and noble family in the future?" Cai Junfeng His brows frowned slightly, and an extremely cold smile appeared on his face, "Ha——, by accident, let Cai Jiu and his son live well, wouldn't it be more interesting?"
"Brother Feng..." Ye Qingsong wanted to persuade him again.
Cai Junfeng waved his hand: "Go and get down to business." He felt a little tired, so he nestled into the soft sofa, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Ye Qingsong stood still for a moment, then walked out with light steps, the empty room was silent, Cai Junfeng's consciousness gradually blurred.
I don't know how long I slept, but when the sound of footsteps came to my ears, Cai Junfeng woke up immediately, and suddenly opened his eyes, which shocked Shuya. The host's family didn't give any special instructions, and generally entered directly without notification.After entering the room, she saw that Cai Junfeng was leaning on the sofa, as if he had fallen asleep, so she deliberately relaxed his hands and feet, but unexpectedly woke him up.
"Second brother." She called timidly.
Looking at her cool and damp hair and clothes, Cai Junfeng frowned, and his voice was still gentle: "Go back to the room to clean up first, and then come down to have breakfast."
But Shuya suddenly rushed forward, hugging his arms with both hands, her dark eyes seemed to be glistening with water, and she eagerly looked at him like a puppy: "Second brother, marry me!"
Here it is again, Cai Junfeng frowned and brushed her hand away, the ring tone of the phone rang at the right time, looking at the caller ID, his eyes twitched, he looked sideways at Shuya with a half-smile, and pressed the answer button: "Master Jie, call early in the morning, Any advice?"
"Advice? With your talent, you can become a genius by self-study. Who would dare to talk about advice in front of you?" Chu Jie's teasing voice came from the phone, "I am worried about that silly girl. She has to go to the office early in the morning. You are here to plead guilty, Cai Ershao, let us discuss something, no matter what that silly girl begs you, you will agree to her, and I will pay you back the favor I owe you, including the principal and interest, will it work?"
"What if she proposes to me?" Cai Junfeng asked lightly, "Do you agree to her too?"
Chu Jie immediately said decisively and resolutely: "This is not allowed!"
Cai Junfeng asked: "Young Master Jie, don't you mean to tell me that your old love for Aya has rekindled?"
"Look at what you said, what is the resurgence of old feelings?" Chu Jie said brazenly, "The fire of my love for Aya has never been extinguished."
"From the beginning to the end, but you still have the face to boast that you are more powerful than Jin Jian and Jie Shao, you are really extraordinary and powerful." Cai Junfeng sarcastically.
"Acceptance, acquiescence!" Chu Jie showed a little modesty, and immediately turned into a liaoluo tone, "Actually, it's not easy for me, a lonely master, Dugu seeks defeat, you understand."
Cai Juanfeng decisively cut off the call. In this world, there is no most shameless, only more shameless.Taking a look at Shuya who was still looking at her earnestly: "You and Chu Jie..."
Shuya shook her head hastily: "Let's not talk about him, second brother, will you marry me, or, I will marry you?"
"Aya, you don't have the kind of affection between lovers to me." Cai Junfeng stated the facts.
"You don't have that kind of affection for me, or—" Shuya bit her lip and mustered up her courage, "You don't have any affection for any woman?"
Cai Junfeng was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Shuya lowered her head, "Four years ago, after I left City S, I felt that the human heart was too difficult to understand, so I applied for a university to major in psychology. I didn't learn very well, but I also knew how to observe subtleties. After so many years , you don’t have a close girlfriend around you. Some people say that you keep yourself clean, some people say that you have too high a vision, and some people say that you have been hurt by love, but I know it’s because you don’t like women very much. Uncle Jiu doesn’t value Ye Qingsong very much. No less than you, the eldest brother has been wooing him, the ability of the eldest brother is far inferior to yours, if he takes over the family business, he will rely on Ye Qingsong far more than you, but he is willing to take risks to help you fight for property and status, In fact, he himself can’t bring more benefits. At first, I couldn’t figure out what he was doing for it. Until last night, I saw him talking on your mobile phone upstairs. After the call, he directly put the mobile phone Putting it in your pocket, the action is natural, and you didn't show any displeasure. Obviously, you have become accustomed to it. However, I know very well that you never like to have physical contact with others. Maybe I am a special case. The occasional touch is still within your tolerance range, but your limbs will feel stiff."
"So?" Cai Junfeng's voice was indifferent.
"Second brother, you need a wife in name. There is no love between you and me, but there is love between family members. Marrying me will not only make your heir status justified, but also serve as a cover. role, and you won't be bothered by jealousy on either side."
Cai Junfeng looked at her blankly, and met his gaze. Shuya looked serious and looked at each other quietly for a moment, "Pfft—" He suddenly laughed, "Yes, psychology is still effective, at least there is a little bit of you That's right, I really don't like women very much. Since I was sensible, the three women I have been in contact with the most - my biological mother, Mrs. Cai, and Cai Wenmin, all of them are disgusting. When I was in college, I had a girlfriend. At the beginning, It was she who took the initiative to approach me and treated me very well. She said that no matter who I am or what my status is, no matter whether I am rich or poor, she only cares about me. After hearing this, I was very moved and wanted to spend a good time with her. For the rest of my life, to be honest, based on my situation at the time, I might not be able to give my wife and children any prominent status, but I thought I could guarantee their well-being and prosperity for the rest of their lives. Unexpectedly, when she saw Cai Wentao's star-studded beauty, Comparing it with me, an illegitimate child who has no inheritance rights, she began to deliberately approach Cai Wentao, and even deliberately discredited me in order to please him. After being humiliated by Cai Wentao in public, she turned around and begged for my forgiveness. At that time, I feel very ashamed that I have ever been tempted by this kind of woman."
"Since then, you don't like women?"
"It's annoying, I really can't feel happy, but the relationship between me and A Song is not the kind of relationship you think. After the death of my biological mother and before entering Cai's house, I lived in the orphanage for more than half a year. We didn’t know each other when we didn’t fight with Ah Song. We became good friends after a few fights. When we were bullied, we fought together and shared good things. After leaving the orphanage, I went back to visit him many times. I tried my best to give him some material help. Compared with Cai Wentao, Ah Song and I are more like real brothers. Aya——” Cai Junfeng smiled teasingly, “I am not born cold-blooded. I will also treat those who are relatives, such as Asong, such as you."
Shu Ya blushed, and murmured in a low voice, "Then, why don't you want to marry me?"
"It is precisely because I regard you as a family member that I don't want to ruin your life. I am not Cai Wentao. No matter how many benefits it can bring me, I will not use your marriage as a bargaining chip. I will not use your marriage as a bargaining chip in the future. Bring it up again."
Shuya tried to say something more, but Cai Junfeng raised his hand to stop her from speaking: "If you want to marry me because you want to take care of Cai Jiu and Cai Wenmin, then there's no need, I'll let someone arrange for Cai Jiu to go abroad for treatment today , if you have a medical institution and doctor you are familiar with, you can help to contact them. As for Cai Wenmin, as long as she is safe and doesn't mess around, I can also let her leave the nursing home and send her to Mrs. Cai's side. "
"Second Brother," Shuya was delighted, just as she stretched out her hand, she suddenly thought that he didn't like other people's touch, so she withdrew her hand embarrassingly, "Thank you!"
Cai Junfeng smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to touch the top of her head: "Fool, since you don't want to eat breakfast, you should go home and have a rest." He handed her a handbag, which contained the mobile phone, key, wallet and other items that he took from last night. , "There are people waiting for you outside the door, so I won't send you back."
Following Cai Junfeng's instructions, Shuya looked at the monitoring monitor next to the door. On the screen, Chu Jie was leaning against the car door and dozing off. After sending her to him, he never left.
Shu Ya was inexplicably guilty, her cheeks flushed, "Second Brother, I didn't..."
"What is the relationship between you and Chu Jie? I can't control it. It's just that if you don't want to get back together with him, you should make it clear as soon as possible. Don't have any thoughts of revenge. He is not a good person. It's easy to provoke, and there is no need to provoke."
"Don't worry, Second Brother," Shuya smiled, "I'm a person who never dwells on the past and never turns back."
Seeing Shuya walk out of the gate, Chu Jie stepped forward quickly: "Are you all right?"
Shuya shook her head.
Chu Jie smiled happily, turned around and opened the car door: "Are you tired, I'll take you home to rest."
Shuya stood still.
Chu Jie held the car door and looked back at her: "What's the matter?"
"Jie Shao, thank you for your trouble last night!" Her tone was extremely polite.
Chu Jie's heart sank, and the expression on his face remained unchanged: "It's nothing, I'm just fulfilling my promise."
"Actually, I understand in my heart that such a thing is not a trivial matter. Even if you refuse to help me, I can't blame you." Shuya looked at him squarely, her big black and white eyes were clear and clear, "Young Master Jie, you are no longer You owe me something, you don't need to do anything for me."
Chu Jie smiled: "I just dropped by to take you home, isn't that a big deal?"
On the way back, no one spoke again. After the car stopped in front of the gate of Shu's house, Shuya opened the door and was about to leave.
"Aya," Chu Jie said behind her, "there is such a saying - what do you think of the prodigal son's return?"
Shuya laughed lightly, turned her back to him and continued walking, saying as she walked, "If you want me to tell you, what's the point of turning back? It's more affordable than gold."
Watching her tall and slender back disappear behind the gate, Chu Jie suddenly turned the car around, and the car was speeding all the way. He slammed on the brakes again, slammed the steering wheel hard, and took a deep breath: "Oh, it's so uncomfortable——" He's nothing He is an innocent boy, but he has never taken the initiative to pursue a girl. He doesn't know what to say and what to do to please a girl.
Chu Jie lit a cigarette. He smokes but is not addicted, drinks but is not addicted to alcohol. He has always indulged in life, but he can always take it in and out freely. But this time..., he put out the cigarette, and he dialed Cheng Hao's phone: "Brother , I have something to ask you for advice."
There was surprise in Cheng Hao's voice: "Mars hit the earth?"
"Cough—" Even though Chu Jie was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "It's like this, if there was a girl who liked you very much before, you didn't take her seriously at the time, but later on, you found that you actually liked you too. When you like her, but she doesn't seem to like you anymore, what do you say?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for nearly a minute, and then there was a burst of wild laughter, "Come out to mess around, as expected, you will have to pay back sooner or later, the ancients did not deceive me!"
……
After all, Cai Junfeng kept his word and sent Cai Wenmin to Cai Jiu's ward the next day. He probably suffered a lot. She became dark and thin, with a haggard appearance. When she saw Shuya, her eyes were red , out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Cai Junfeng who was standing beside him with a smile on his face, with a frightened expression on his face again, not daring to make a sound, and there was no trace of the charming young lady in the past.
Shuya felt distressed and sad, and couldn't help but give the perpetrator a hard look.Cai Junfeng turned a blind eye, and said to Cai Wenmin: "Your condition has just improved, so don't think about other things, rest at ease, and spend more time with your mother, she needs the comfort and relief of her relatives now. "Spoken softly, caring and considerate, just like a peerless good brother.
Cai Wenmin's body trembled involuntarily, her father was in a coma, her brother died of injustice, and after hearing the news of her brother's death, her mother became haggard overnight and her mind became in a trance. All these were thanks to the person in front of her. , she clenched her hand hard and then loosened it, loosened it and clenched it again, wishing to scratch a few blood marks on that hypocritical face.
Shuya held Cai Wenmin's hand and said softly, "Amin, I have entrusted my mother and Uncle Chen to help contact medical institutions with excellent conditions and excellent brain doctors. There should be news in a few days. Let's go Before now, it is still necessary to arrange an expert consultation for Uncle Jiu, plus some other miscellaneous matters, it will take about ten days in total. You just use these days to take care of your body. After all the preparations are completed, we will bring aunt Walk together."
"Go?" Cai Wenmin's lifeless eyes flashed a light, "Can we leave here?"
"Of course, if you are willing to settle abroad, we will go through the application procedures after Uncle Jiu's operation." Seeing her anxious look, Shu Ya comforted her, "Don't worry, I will take care of Jiu Shu with you. Uncle and aunt, when we arrive in California, my mother will take care of us."
Beside, Cai Junfeng frowned: "Leaving again? How long do you plan to leave this time?"
Shuya replied calmly: "I will dispose of all the properties here. If there is no accident, I will not come back every year except for grave sweeping."
"Have you decided where to live?"
"Accompany Uncle Jiu to California for surgery first, and when he and my aunt are in better health, I will travel around the world, trying to find a good man before the age of 30, marry myself, and then choose where to live."
"Very good life plan." Cai Junfeng looked behind her and smiled.
Shuya turned her head in confusion, and Chu Jie was standing at the door with a paralyzed face, followed by Jiang Zhiyuan and Jin Yuanbao, one holding a fruit basket and the other holding a basket of flowers.
Shuya greeted the three of them with a smile, and turned her head to give Cai Junfeng a supercilious look, Xiao Mian, it's your guest.
Cai Junfeng raised his eyebrows a little, is the drunkard's intention in the bar?
Seeing their flirtatious interaction, Chu Jie felt very upset, and slowly walked into the room with his hands behind his back, raising his airs: "Nephew, let me see Brother Nine."
Cai Junfeng was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile all over his face: "Uncle Shi, you are always interested, Amin, Aya, come and express your thanks to Uncle Chu."
"Boring!" Shuya pulled Cai Wenmin into the inner room.
The ward where Cai Jiu lives is a suite, with a living room outside and a patient bedroom with complete supporting facilities inside. In order to facilitate the rest of the accompanying staff, there is a small bedroom next to it.
Shuya first stood at the door of the small bedroom and took a look: "Auntie is asleep, Amin, do you want to lie down too?"
Cai Wenmin was listening intently to the conversation outside, and did not respond to Shu Ya. Chu Jie's voice came in intermittently: "When I just returned to China, I was not familiar with the place, thanks to Brother Nine who gave me advice and help... I should have come to visit Brother Jiu, but I have been so busy that I can only find time to take this trip today..."
Cai Wenmin's eyes flickered.
"Amin?" Shuya looked at her worriedly. Ever since she met Chu Jie, she had been thinking like this.
Cai Wenmin looked at his father who looked like a living dead man on the bed, and said slowly: "Because of you, I have inquired carefully about Chu Jie. He worked under my father. Back then, my father treated him very well. Today he I also admit that my dad has supported him, that is to say, he cannot achieve what he is today without the support of my dad back then."
"Amin, Chu Jie is just talking politely, don't think about it anymore, the most important thing for us now is to leave smoothly," Shuya took Cai Wenmin's hand, hinting vaguely, "The days to come are still long. , many things are not as bad as you think."
"I don't believe that everyone in this world will be ungrateful!" Cai Wenmin shook off Shuya's hand and rushed out.
While Chu Jie was talking politely to Cai Junfeng casually, he was secretly thinking about the trick Cheng Hao gave him: "Smile evilly, what kind of smile is that, and how arc should it be?"The wind is light and the clouds are light, how light is it?Understatement, what to describe?Headache, why do women like this tune?Suddenly seeing Cai Wenmin rushing in front of him, his eyes shining, he was really startled.
"Young Master Jie," Cai Wenmin said hurriedly, "it was Cai Junfeng, a bastard, who made my father like this, and then blamed my brother. Please save my father, save our family, and return my brother's innocence."
Shuya held onto the door frame, sighed and closed her eyes. It was true that Chu Jie had done things under Cai Jiu, but rather than being supported by the Cai family, it would be better to say that he was ordered to do a favor for the Cai family, and that For half a year, the person in the Cai family who had the most contact with him was Cai Junfeng.Cai Jiu treated him politely and courteously because he was needed, and Chu Jie would sell Cai Jiu some face in the past, but he only respected his seniors. There was no deep friendship between them, let alone What kindness and righteousness, all this was clearly told to her by Chu Jie on the way to send her to Cai's house the day before yesterday.He only has business dealings with the Cai family. As for who is the master of the Cai family, it has nothing to do with him, and it is impossible to get involved in the internal struggles of the Cai family.
Sure enough, Chu Jie had a terrified expression on his face: "Nephew, what's wrong with your sister?"
Cai Junfeng expressed embarrassment and apology appropriately: "Too many things have happened in the family recently, and Amin can't bear such a blow."
"Oh——" Chu Jie expressed understanding, "Then don't bother me." Glancing at Shuya who was standing at the door of the bedroom, "Aya, didn't you say that you want to have dinner with everyone? The sun is not as good as hitting the sun, so tonight, how about it?"
"Okay," Shuya forced a smile, "You choose the place to eat, and after you choose, just call me and let me know."
Seeing Chu Jie and his group walk out of the ward, completely ignoring her pleading for help, Cai Wenmin's expression was pitiful.Closing the door, Cai Junfeng turned to look at her. Under his cold gaze, her desperate courage was gone, and her body shrank into a ball.
"Idiot," he said coldly, "do you think I can't send you in after you get out of the mental hospital?"
Shu Ya finally chose to stand in front of Cai Wenmin: "Second brother, there will be no next time, I promise."
Cai Junfeng remained silent while Shuya stood in front of Cai Wenmin and looked at him. After a while, he turned and opened the door. Before leaving, he said coldly, "This is the last time!"
Only after the door was closed again did Cai Wenmin dare to cry.
Seeing Cai Wenmin lying on the ground crying loudly, Shu Ya felt an urge to cry, what are these things, if she let go of her now... Cai Wenmin on the hospital bed flashed before her eyes. The appearance of the broken body, Cai Wentao's bleak and sad smile at the time of parting, and the promise she made to him, and looking at the sad and desperate Cai Wenmin in front of her, Shuya's heart softened again, and she helped Cai Wenmin to sit on the sofa He poured a glass of water and handed it to her: "You take a rest first, I have already ordered dinner, and the restaurant will deliver it when the time comes."
If she doesn't go out to get some air, Shuya is afraid that she will suffocate.As soon as he put his hand on the doorknob, he heard Cai Wenmin say from behind: "You know my brother is innocent, why don't you help him?" There was resentment in his tone.
Shuya didn't look back: "How do you want me to help?"
Cai Wenmin was speechless, witnesses and physical evidence, directly to Cai Wentao, what can he use to prove his innocence?
Opening the door, Shuya asked again: "Why?" It's not always clear who owes whom, why should she be accused of ungratefulness again and again?
Walking out of the hospital, a feeling of fatigue invaded her whole body. Shuya raised her hand, trying to hail a taxi, but a car stopped in front of her. Chu Jie opened the door and smiled like a spring breeze: "Get in the car."
Shu Ya was extremely tired, so she didn't refuse. After she got in the car and sat down, Chu Jie spoke at a slow pace: "Didn't you tell his sister about Cai Wentao?" It was terrible, almost biting his tongue.
Shuya sighed: "I originally planned to tell the mother and daughter the truth after going abroad. It's safer to do so."
Chu Jie nodded: "That's right, seeing Miss Cai's temperament, she is not a person who can hide things."
Shuya sighed again, curled up in a corner, looking haggard
Chu Jie looked at her and felt uncomfortable for her: "You can't let go of both sides. In the end, both sides are thankless. Why bother?"
"Please, who am I supposed to please?" Shuya's sullenness suddenly broke out, "He's so annoying, everyone thinks I'm a soft girl?"
"How about a soft girl," Jin Yuanbao, who was driving in the front seat, sighed, "Your body is delicate and your waist is soft and easy to push down." Suddenly feeling a chill on the back of his head, he raised his eyes to glance at the rearview mirror, met Chu Jie's gloomy eyes, and Shu Ya shrank her neck involuntarily due to her vicious eyes, and drove honestly and seriously.
"Otherwise, don't bother with their Cai family's affairs, and let me handle it." Chu Jie tried his best to put on a calm posture.
"You?" Shuya looked at him sideways, "Aren't you only asking about the internal affairs of the Cai family?"
"I only help you achieve the result you want, not meddling in the internal affairs of the Cai family."
After thinking about it, Shuya shook her head; "No, I don't want to owe you any more favors." When she said the word owed, she remembered another thing, just in time to see a bank not far ahead, and hurriedly shouted, " Stop, Brother Yuan Bao, stop the car."
Jin Yuanbao quickly parked the car on the side of the road.
"What's wrong?" Chu Jie asked with concern.
"Please wait a moment, I still owe you money, just stop by the bank to get cash to pay off the debt."
"Don't be in such a hurry." Chu Jie hurriedly stopped him, joking, asking her to pay back the money today, what reason would he find to see her next time?
Before he finished speaking, Shuya had already jumped out of the car: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day. Pay off the debt as soon as possible, and I will feel at ease sooner."
Seeing her trotting all the way into the bank gate, Chu Jie was depressed, patted his forehead, and looked up to see Jiang Zhiyuan and Jin Yuanbao Qiqi turned around to look at him from the front row. Have you seen enough?"
"Brother Jie," Jin Yuanbao decided to risk his life to speak harshly, "I think it's not suitable for you to pretend to be x."
"That's true," Jiang Zhiyuan agreed without winking, "The highest state of pretending to be x is to make people not feel that the other party is pretending to be x. In this regard, Cai Junfeng is obviously better than you, Brother Jie."
"Although Aya seems to like the pretty boy surnamed Cai, but Brother Jie, you really don't need to imitate him just because of this."
"Cai Junfeng's core charm is to pretend to be x, but your core charm, Brother Jie, is arrogant enough. A big white swan pretending to be a white swan is still a little too much, and a big tiger pretending to be a kitten is too unreliable."
The two sang together, Chu Jie was so angry that his face turned pale, and he pointed at them tremblingly: "You two, your skin is itchy, aren't you?"
The dinner location was set to be in Hongfu Building. When Chu Jie and his party arrived, Wu Meng and Lin Pingzhi had already reserved a private room and were waiting there.As soon as Shuya was seated, Lin Pingzhi immediately took the menu card and slipped to her side: "Aya, let me order with you." He is familiar with the dishes of this restaurant, and also understands the tastes of everyone present, Shuya readily agreed.
Chu Jie sat at the side drinking tea, his eyes flicked to Shuya who was laughing and discussing dishes with Yan Yan and Lin Pingzhi from time to time, and felt depressed that she was much more enthusiastic towards Lin Pingzhi than to him.
Lin Pingzhi made several gestures on the menu: "These dishes and desserts are all your favorite flavors, do you want to try them?"
Chu Jie quietly glanced at the menu board, and he was really ashamed to say that he didn't know anything about Shu Ya's preferences. Knowing the enemy is a prerequisite for winning. He stared at Lin Pingzhi maliciously, and decided to find time Hit this kid hard, make him spit out all the information.Lin Pingzhi shuddered inexplicably, looked up and looked around in a daze.
Dishes were brought to the table one after another. Everyone in the room had a good relationship with Shu Ya back then. We reunited after a long absence. Everyone was very happy from the bottom of their hearts. The atmosphere at the table was lively. Funny, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Zhiyuan took a sip of his wine, feeling quite emotional: "In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed. Speaking of it, I still feel that the days in Fengshao Bar were the happiest and most relaxing."
Everyone nodded one after another, quite sympathetic.
Jin Yuanbao was next to Shuya, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Half a year after you left, Fengshao Bar closed down, brothers can all see that Brother Jie was in a particularly bad mood during that time." He While speaking, he stared at her face carefully.
Wu Meng's personality is the most straightforward, and he said bluntly: "Since everyone is reading it, why not reopen Fengshao Bar, Aya, you come back too, my brothers will continue to praise you as an Internet celebrity, and I promise to let you You are even redder than when you were in the Dream Wine."
"Aya, if you come back, I'll help you." Lin Pingzhi strongly hoped that Shu Ya would come back.
Shuya propped her head on her hands, and laughed, because of the wine, her snow-white face was flushed pink, and her slightly curved eyes seemed to be shining with water: "Those happy days, let them stay in memory It's better, even if we re-live the old days now, it is impossible to find the original mood, and I will leave here soon, and I am afraid that there will not be many chances to come back in the future."
"Is that so?" Wu Meng looked at Chu Jie, then at Shu Ya, and lowered his head to drink.
They had already heard the conversation between Shuya and Cai Junfeng in the hospital before. Although Jiang Zhiyuan and Jin Yuanbao were not surprised, they couldn't help but glance at Chu Jie.
Lin Pingzhi looked at Shu Ya tearfully: "Can't you stay?"
"Hey, Brother Aping," Shuya laughed, "Let's not make the atmosphere so sad, okay?"
Chu Jie kept staring at the glass of red wine in front of him, as if he had never heard of their conversation, Jiang Zhiyuan wished to step on him, Boss, don't be too dedicated, now is not the time to pretend to be X.
Shuya raised her wine glass: "It's rare to get together, I respect everyone."
Chu Jie drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and couldn't help frowning. The taste of the red wine was a bit bitter, so it would be better to drink white wine.
Dinner is still going on, but it is no longer the original warm atmosphere.After a while, one by one made excuses to leave first. Even Lin Pingzhi, who didn't want to leave the most, was forcibly pulled away by Wu Meng. In the end, only Chu Jie and Shuya were left in the private room.
"I didn't ask them to say those words just now," Chu Jie said, "However, they were really kind and wanted to help me."
"I'm going to pay the bill." Shuya picked up the handbag. "After paying the bill, I will take a taxi home directly. If you are drunk, stop driving and go back by taxi."
"Xiaojiang has already paid the bill." Chu Jie looked at the text message on the phone.
Shu Ya frowned: "Why do you do this?" Knowing that Chu Jie was not short of money for this meal, but she didn't want to owe him anything, even a small amount, she took out a wad of cash from her handbag and put it in the On the table, she turned and left.
"Aya," Xu Shi drank too much, Chu Jie's voice was hoarse, "I went to the hospital to look for you four years ago."
Shuya's steps faltered, but she didn't look back.
"In the hospital, I learned that you had left the city. Looking at the empty ward, I couldn't tell what kind of mood I was feeling at that time. I just felt very uncomfortable. Until then, I realized how wrong I was. It turns out that I like you so much, and the sincerity I missed is so precious. There is no medicine for regret in this world. No matter how much I regret it, I can’t turn back time and smooth out the harm I have done to you. I only hope In the days to come, I will have the opportunity to make up for it and recover the treasure I missed."
Chu Jie went around to her and faced her: "I don't ask you to believe and forgive me now, but please don't reject me thousands of miles away, give me time and opportunity, I will try my best to make you Seeing my sincerity, is it okay to use practical actions to ask for your forgiveness?"
After a moment of silence, Shuya slowly raised her hand and gestured towards herself: "I broke two ribs, and it took me half a year to recuperate to recover. In the first month after the injury, breathing, swallowing, and speaking would all be so painful that I would break out in a cold sweat. The doctor said that using too much painkiller is not good for your health, so you can only bear it. When the pain is severe, you often can’t sleep all night, and you are extremely sleepy. The pain, as long as I experience it once, I will never dare to try it a second time in my life."
He looked at her with pain in his eyes, and wanted to say something, but his voice seemed to be choked in his throat.
"Four years is enough for a person to change a lot. Very early on, I no longer hate you, and likewise, I don't like you anymore, Chu Jie, I don't like you anymore." Shuya sipped lips, with a slight smile, "The prodigal son will not return the money, that's just for those who still care about the prodigal son, if they don't care anymore, who cares whether the prodigal son will return or not?"
Passing in front of Chu Jie, Shuya opened the door, hurriedly walked out of the hotel, and stood on the steps in front of the hotel, her eyes were hot, and a choking astringency came to her nose.Looking up at the high and distant night sky, she took a deep breath, feeling as if the sea and the sky were vast.
In the hotel box, Chu Jie stood quietly in place, as if he was in a trance, with a constant sense of emptiness in his chest, just like when Shu Ya woke up late at night after a hangover, his heart was empty, as if he was missing something. The big chunk made him at a loss.Raising his hand, he touched his ribs, and there were bursts of pain in his chest.
(End of this chapter)
After crying for a while, a piece of clothing with body heat came under her hood to shield her from the cold rain in the early morning. Shuya turned her head and saw Chu Jie sitting beside her, a faint gap of light cracked in the distant sky, hazy morning light In the movie, his silhouette resembles a statue of a handsome man in ancient Greece, with perfect contours, making one's heart beat involuntarily.
Inexplicably, a surge of resentment welled up in her chest, Shuya tore off her coat, and threw it back to Chu Jie: "Who wants you to be hypocritical!"
"Hey——" Chu Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You changed too fast, you just finished using me, and you turned your face right away."
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could we be in today's situation."
"It's my fault too?" Chu Jie said, "Can you explain it to me? It's none of my business that the Cai family brothers are fighting for power and profit. I am their father, so why not return their mother?"
Shu Ya was obviously expressing anger, and raised her eyebrows: "If you hadn't made that damn bet, I wouldn't have left; if I didn't leave, I would have kept staring at my elder brother and second brother so that they wouldn't be able to make trouble. , it's you, this kind of person - despicable, shameless, wretched, stupid..."
Chu Jie pressed his forehead and sighed, ready to let her scold him to his heart's content.
But Shuya felt that it was boring, she let out a long sigh, put her chin on her knees, and silently looked into the distance.
Although the rain had stopped, the sky was still dark, and Chu Jie couldn't see the expression in her deep eyes clearly.
"Do you hate me?" He asked very seriously.
"How is it possible?" Shuya sighed faintly, "How could it be possible for me to hate you?"
Chu Jie was moved, and thousands of emotions surged in his heart.
Shu Ya said unhurriedly: "I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to do such boring things."
What is instant kill, what is disillusionment, Chu Jie's mood at the moment.
"Dead?" Only one wall lamp was lit in the hall. Under the dim light, Cai Junfeng's long and thin figure looked a little thin.
"I heard that he was shot five times and fell into the sea. The body has not been found yet. I went to identify the salvaged clothes. It is indeed the one Cai Wentao was wearing last night." Ye Qingsong held a diamond ring in his palm and handed it to him. In front of him, "Find this diamond ring from the interlayer of the clothes, it should be the one he took from Mrs. Shen Jiaheng."
Cai Junfeng picked up the diamond ring with two fingers, thoughtfully: "After Aya entered Extreme Night City, did she come out again?"
"Her car has been in the parking lot of Polar Night City. As for her, there are cars passing by outside Polar Night City. If she gets out of someone else's car, it's hard to see her. At around two o'clock in the morning, from inside Polar Night City A few cars drove out, and I checked the license plates, and they all belonged to Chu Jie's men."
Cai Junfeng pondered, looking down at the diamond ring in his hand, the diamond on the ring reflected a cold and beautiful luster as he turned his fingers.
Ye Qingsong waited for a while, and reminded cautiously: "Shen Jiaheng is very dissatisfied that we did not control Cai Wentao in time, so that people sneaked into his house."
Cai Junfeng snorted coldly: "His own wife helped Cai Wentao escape, but we are to blame?"
Last night, after Cai Wentao broke out from the ambush, he sneaked into the home of Shen Jiaheng, the president of Huafeng Group. In the process of the Cai brothers' struggle for power, one of the key factors for Cai Junfeng's victory was that he got Huafeng With the support of this big consortium, Cai Wentao sneaked into Shen's house with the intention of kidnapping Shen Jiaheng's young son as a hostage, but for some reason, he did not kidnap the child in the end, but got the assistance of Shen Jiaheng's wife, Du Xiruo, to escape smoothly.
"Brother Feng," Ye Qingsong advised, "this is not the time to be arrogant."
Cai Junfeng also knew in his heart that the position he had just taken was not stable at all, and Shen Jiahuan, a rich and powerful master, could not afford to offend him for the time being. Maybe he himself was not something to be afraid of, but as the son-in-law of the big chaebol Du Xiuyu, this level of status made people feel uncomfortable. I had no choice but to feel scruples, raised my hand and handed the ring to Ye Qingsong: "Give it to Shen Jiahuan, be careful, don't mention anything about Aya to him."
Ye Qingsong was indignant: "If you defend her like this, it may not be that she will appreciate it. It almost ruined our big event."
Cai Junfeng laughed, "Ah Song, no matter whether we have Aya or not, we can't accomplish anything. Admitting that we have no strength is at best a shame, but it's shameless to blame it on a woman."
"How could it not be possible?" Ye Qing didn't really believe it.
"When I worked with Shen Jiaheng, I didn't know that he had put Du Xiuyu's daughter under house arrest. Unfortunately, it's already deep in the mud and I can't get out."
"Isn't Du Xiuyu already dead?" Ye Qingsong disapproved.
"It's true that Du Xiuyu is dead, but do you think that the connections and forces he cultivated on the surface and in the dark during his lifetime are just for show?" Cai Junfeng snorted lightly, "Cooking oil on fire and warming fire on ice is almost the same as Shen Jiaheng's current situation. Looking at the scenery, it's just that he hasn't done anything yet, and he probably knows it in his heart."
"Then we—" Ye Qingsong hesitated, "What should we do?"
"I'm gradually converting Cai's group funds into personal legal income, and remitting them to Swiss bank accounts in stages. After your immigration procedures are completed, leave as soon as possible."
"What about you?" Ye Qingsong was concerned, "Brother Feng, the wealth you hold in your hands is enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life, so why not throw away the big burden of Cai's enterprise and immigrate to the country immediately."
"I have never been very interested in Cai's business. What I want to see is, if the Cai family's property is completely destroyed, without identity, status, and wealth, how will Cai Jiu's family of four be a wealthy and noble family in the future?" Cai Junfeng His brows frowned slightly, and an extremely cold smile appeared on his face, "Ha——, by accident, let Cai Jiu and his son live well, wouldn't it be more interesting?"
"Brother Feng..." Ye Qingsong wanted to persuade him again.
Cai Junfeng waved his hand: "Go and get down to business." He felt a little tired, so he nestled into the soft sofa, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Ye Qingsong stood still for a moment, then walked out with light steps, the empty room was silent, Cai Junfeng's consciousness gradually blurred.
I don't know how long I slept, but when the sound of footsteps came to my ears, Cai Junfeng woke up immediately, and suddenly opened his eyes, which shocked Shuya. The host's family didn't give any special instructions, and generally entered directly without notification.After entering the room, she saw that Cai Junfeng was leaning on the sofa, as if he had fallen asleep, so she deliberately relaxed his hands and feet, but unexpectedly woke him up.
"Second brother." She called timidly.
Looking at her cool and damp hair and clothes, Cai Junfeng frowned, and his voice was still gentle: "Go back to the room to clean up first, and then come down to have breakfast."
But Shuya suddenly rushed forward, hugging his arms with both hands, her dark eyes seemed to be glistening with water, and she eagerly looked at him like a puppy: "Second brother, marry me!"
Here it is again, Cai Junfeng frowned and brushed her hand away, the ring tone of the phone rang at the right time, looking at the caller ID, his eyes twitched, he looked sideways at Shuya with a half-smile, and pressed the answer button: "Master Jie, call early in the morning, Any advice?"
"Advice? With your talent, you can become a genius by self-study. Who would dare to talk about advice in front of you?" Chu Jie's teasing voice came from the phone, "I am worried about that silly girl. She has to go to the office early in the morning. You are here to plead guilty, Cai Ershao, let us discuss something, no matter what that silly girl begs you, you will agree to her, and I will pay you back the favor I owe you, including the principal and interest, will it work?"
"What if she proposes to me?" Cai Junfeng asked lightly, "Do you agree to her too?"
Chu Jie immediately said decisively and resolutely: "This is not allowed!"
Cai Junfeng asked: "Young Master Jie, don't you mean to tell me that your old love for Aya has rekindled?"
"Look at what you said, what is the resurgence of old feelings?" Chu Jie said brazenly, "The fire of my love for Aya has never been extinguished."
"From the beginning to the end, but you still have the face to boast that you are more powerful than Jin Jian and Jie Shao, you are really extraordinary and powerful." Cai Junfeng sarcastically.
"Acceptance, acquiescence!" Chu Jie showed a little modesty, and immediately turned into a liaoluo tone, "Actually, it's not easy for me, a lonely master, Dugu seeks defeat, you understand."
Cai Juanfeng decisively cut off the call. In this world, there is no most shameless, only more shameless.Taking a look at Shuya who was still looking at her earnestly: "You and Chu Jie..."
Shuya shook her head hastily: "Let's not talk about him, second brother, will you marry me, or, I will marry you?"
"Aya, you don't have the kind of affection between lovers to me." Cai Junfeng stated the facts.
"You don't have that kind of affection for me, or—" Shuya bit her lip and mustered up her courage, "You don't have any affection for any woman?"
Cai Junfeng was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Shuya lowered her head, "Four years ago, after I left City S, I felt that the human heart was too difficult to understand, so I applied for a university to major in psychology. I didn't learn very well, but I also knew how to observe subtleties. After so many years , you don’t have a close girlfriend around you. Some people say that you keep yourself clean, some people say that you have too high a vision, and some people say that you have been hurt by love, but I know it’s because you don’t like women very much. Uncle Jiu doesn’t value Ye Qingsong very much. No less than you, the eldest brother has been wooing him, the ability of the eldest brother is far inferior to yours, if he takes over the family business, he will rely on Ye Qingsong far more than you, but he is willing to take risks to help you fight for property and status, In fact, he himself can’t bring more benefits. At first, I couldn’t figure out what he was doing for it. Until last night, I saw him talking on your mobile phone upstairs. After the call, he directly put the mobile phone Putting it in your pocket, the action is natural, and you didn't show any displeasure. Obviously, you have become accustomed to it. However, I know very well that you never like to have physical contact with others. Maybe I am a special case. The occasional touch is still within your tolerance range, but your limbs will feel stiff."
"So?" Cai Junfeng's voice was indifferent.
"Second brother, you need a wife in name. There is no love between you and me, but there is love between family members. Marrying me will not only make your heir status justified, but also serve as a cover. role, and you won't be bothered by jealousy on either side."
Cai Junfeng looked at her blankly, and met his gaze. Shuya looked serious and looked at each other quietly for a moment, "Pfft—" He suddenly laughed, "Yes, psychology is still effective, at least there is a little bit of you That's right, I really don't like women very much. Since I was sensible, the three women I have been in contact with the most - my biological mother, Mrs. Cai, and Cai Wenmin, all of them are disgusting. When I was in college, I had a girlfriend. At the beginning, It was she who took the initiative to approach me and treated me very well. She said that no matter who I am or what my status is, no matter whether I am rich or poor, she only cares about me. After hearing this, I was very moved and wanted to spend a good time with her. For the rest of my life, to be honest, based on my situation at the time, I might not be able to give my wife and children any prominent status, but I thought I could guarantee their well-being and prosperity for the rest of their lives. Unexpectedly, when she saw Cai Wentao's star-studded beauty, Comparing it with me, an illegitimate child who has no inheritance rights, she began to deliberately approach Cai Wentao, and even deliberately discredited me in order to please him. After being humiliated by Cai Wentao in public, she turned around and begged for my forgiveness. At that time, I feel very ashamed that I have ever been tempted by this kind of woman."
"Since then, you don't like women?"
"It's annoying, I really can't feel happy, but the relationship between me and A Song is not the kind of relationship you think. After the death of my biological mother and before entering Cai's house, I lived in the orphanage for more than half a year. We didn’t know each other when we didn’t fight with Ah Song. We became good friends after a few fights. When we were bullied, we fought together and shared good things. After leaving the orphanage, I went back to visit him many times. I tried my best to give him some material help. Compared with Cai Wentao, Ah Song and I are more like real brothers. Aya——” Cai Junfeng smiled teasingly, “I am not born cold-blooded. I will also treat those who are relatives, such as Asong, such as you."
Shu Ya blushed, and murmured in a low voice, "Then, why don't you want to marry me?"
"It is precisely because I regard you as a family member that I don't want to ruin your life. I am not Cai Wentao. No matter how many benefits it can bring me, I will not use your marriage as a bargaining chip. I will not use your marriage as a bargaining chip in the future. Bring it up again."
Shuya tried to say something more, but Cai Junfeng raised his hand to stop her from speaking: "If you want to marry me because you want to take care of Cai Jiu and Cai Wenmin, then there's no need, I'll let someone arrange for Cai Jiu to go abroad for treatment today , if you have a medical institution and doctor you are familiar with, you can help to contact them. As for Cai Wenmin, as long as she is safe and doesn't mess around, I can also let her leave the nursing home and send her to Mrs. Cai's side. "
"Second Brother," Shuya was delighted, just as she stretched out her hand, she suddenly thought that he didn't like other people's touch, so she withdrew her hand embarrassingly, "Thank you!"
Cai Junfeng smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to touch the top of her head: "Fool, since you don't want to eat breakfast, you should go home and have a rest." He handed her a handbag, which contained the mobile phone, key, wallet and other items that he took from last night. , "There are people waiting for you outside the door, so I won't send you back."
Following Cai Junfeng's instructions, Shuya looked at the monitoring monitor next to the door. On the screen, Chu Jie was leaning against the car door and dozing off. After sending her to him, he never left.
Shu Ya was inexplicably guilty, her cheeks flushed, "Second Brother, I didn't..."
"What is the relationship between you and Chu Jie? I can't control it. It's just that if you don't want to get back together with him, you should make it clear as soon as possible. Don't have any thoughts of revenge. He is not a good person. It's easy to provoke, and there is no need to provoke."
"Don't worry, Second Brother," Shuya smiled, "I'm a person who never dwells on the past and never turns back."
Seeing Shuya walk out of the gate, Chu Jie stepped forward quickly: "Are you all right?"
Shuya shook her head.
Chu Jie smiled happily, turned around and opened the car door: "Are you tired, I'll take you home to rest."
Shuya stood still.
Chu Jie held the car door and looked back at her: "What's the matter?"
"Jie Shao, thank you for your trouble last night!" Her tone was extremely polite.
Chu Jie's heart sank, and the expression on his face remained unchanged: "It's nothing, I'm just fulfilling my promise."
"Actually, I understand in my heart that such a thing is not a trivial matter. Even if you refuse to help me, I can't blame you." Shuya looked at him squarely, her big black and white eyes were clear and clear, "Young Master Jie, you are no longer You owe me something, you don't need to do anything for me."
Chu Jie smiled: "I just dropped by to take you home, isn't that a big deal?"
On the way back, no one spoke again. After the car stopped in front of the gate of Shu's house, Shuya opened the door and was about to leave.
"Aya," Chu Jie said behind her, "there is such a saying - what do you think of the prodigal son's return?"
Shuya laughed lightly, turned her back to him and continued walking, saying as she walked, "If you want me to tell you, what's the point of turning back? It's more affordable than gold."
Watching her tall and slender back disappear behind the gate, Chu Jie suddenly turned the car around, and the car was speeding all the way. He slammed on the brakes again, slammed the steering wheel hard, and took a deep breath: "Oh, it's so uncomfortable——" He's nothing He is an innocent boy, but he has never taken the initiative to pursue a girl. He doesn't know what to say and what to do to please a girl.
Chu Jie lit a cigarette. He smokes but is not addicted, drinks but is not addicted to alcohol. He has always indulged in life, but he can always take it in and out freely. But this time..., he put out the cigarette, and he dialed Cheng Hao's phone: "Brother , I have something to ask you for advice."
There was surprise in Cheng Hao's voice: "Mars hit the earth?"
"Cough—" Even though Chu Jie was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "It's like this, if there was a girl who liked you very much before, you didn't take her seriously at the time, but later on, you found that you actually liked you too. When you like her, but she doesn't seem to like you anymore, what do you say?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for nearly a minute, and then there was a burst of wild laughter, "Come out to mess around, as expected, you will have to pay back sooner or later, the ancients did not deceive me!"
……
After all, Cai Junfeng kept his word and sent Cai Wenmin to Cai Jiu's ward the next day. He probably suffered a lot. She became dark and thin, with a haggard appearance. When she saw Shuya, her eyes were red , out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Cai Junfeng who was standing beside him with a smile on his face, with a frightened expression on his face again, not daring to make a sound, and there was no trace of the charming young lady in the past.
Shuya felt distressed and sad, and couldn't help but give the perpetrator a hard look.Cai Junfeng turned a blind eye, and said to Cai Wenmin: "Your condition has just improved, so don't think about other things, rest at ease, and spend more time with your mother, she needs the comfort and relief of her relatives now. "Spoken softly, caring and considerate, just like a peerless good brother.
Cai Wenmin's body trembled involuntarily, her father was in a coma, her brother died of injustice, and after hearing the news of her brother's death, her mother became haggard overnight and her mind became in a trance. All these were thanks to the person in front of her. , she clenched her hand hard and then loosened it, loosened it and clenched it again, wishing to scratch a few blood marks on that hypocritical face.
Shuya held Cai Wenmin's hand and said softly, "Amin, I have entrusted my mother and Uncle Chen to help contact medical institutions with excellent conditions and excellent brain doctors. There should be news in a few days. Let's go Before now, it is still necessary to arrange an expert consultation for Uncle Jiu, plus some other miscellaneous matters, it will take about ten days in total. You just use these days to take care of your body. After all the preparations are completed, we will bring aunt Walk together."
"Go?" Cai Wenmin's lifeless eyes flashed a light, "Can we leave here?"
"Of course, if you are willing to settle abroad, we will go through the application procedures after Uncle Jiu's operation." Seeing her anxious look, Shu Ya comforted her, "Don't worry, I will take care of Jiu Shu with you. Uncle and aunt, when we arrive in California, my mother will take care of us."
Beside, Cai Junfeng frowned: "Leaving again? How long do you plan to leave this time?"
Shuya replied calmly: "I will dispose of all the properties here. If there is no accident, I will not come back every year except for grave sweeping."
"Have you decided where to live?"
"Accompany Uncle Jiu to California for surgery first, and when he and my aunt are in better health, I will travel around the world, trying to find a good man before the age of 30, marry myself, and then choose where to live."
"Very good life plan." Cai Junfeng looked behind her and smiled.
Shuya turned her head in confusion, and Chu Jie was standing at the door with a paralyzed face, followed by Jiang Zhiyuan and Jin Yuanbao, one holding a fruit basket and the other holding a basket of flowers.
Shuya greeted the three of them with a smile, and turned her head to give Cai Junfeng a supercilious look, Xiao Mian, it's your guest.
Cai Junfeng raised his eyebrows a little, is the drunkard's intention in the bar?
Seeing their flirtatious interaction, Chu Jie felt very upset, and slowly walked into the room with his hands behind his back, raising his airs: "Nephew, let me see Brother Nine."
Cai Junfeng was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile all over his face: "Uncle Shi, you are always interested, Amin, Aya, come and express your thanks to Uncle Chu."
"Boring!" Shuya pulled Cai Wenmin into the inner room.
The ward where Cai Jiu lives is a suite, with a living room outside and a patient bedroom with complete supporting facilities inside. In order to facilitate the rest of the accompanying staff, there is a small bedroom next to it.
Shuya first stood at the door of the small bedroom and took a look: "Auntie is asleep, Amin, do you want to lie down too?"
Cai Wenmin was listening intently to the conversation outside, and did not respond to Shu Ya. Chu Jie's voice came in intermittently: "When I just returned to China, I was not familiar with the place, thanks to Brother Nine who gave me advice and help... I should have come to visit Brother Jiu, but I have been so busy that I can only find time to take this trip today..."
Cai Wenmin's eyes flickered.
"Amin?" Shuya looked at her worriedly. Ever since she met Chu Jie, she had been thinking like this.
Cai Wenmin looked at his father who looked like a living dead man on the bed, and said slowly: "Because of you, I have inquired carefully about Chu Jie. He worked under my father. Back then, my father treated him very well. Today he I also admit that my dad has supported him, that is to say, he cannot achieve what he is today without the support of my dad back then."
"Amin, Chu Jie is just talking politely, don't think about it anymore, the most important thing for us now is to leave smoothly," Shuya took Cai Wenmin's hand, hinting vaguely, "The days to come are still long. , many things are not as bad as you think."
"I don't believe that everyone in this world will be ungrateful!" Cai Wenmin shook off Shuya's hand and rushed out.
While Chu Jie was talking politely to Cai Junfeng casually, he was secretly thinking about the trick Cheng Hao gave him: "Smile evilly, what kind of smile is that, and how arc should it be?"The wind is light and the clouds are light, how light is it?Understatement, what to describe?Headache, why do women like this tune?Suddenly seeing Cai Wenmin rushing in front of him, his eyes shining, he was really startled.
"Young Master Jie," Cai Wenmin said hurriedly, "it was Cai Junfeng, a bastard, who made my father like this, and then blamed my brother. Please save my father, save our family, and return my brother's innocence."
Shuya held onto the door frame, sighed and closed her eyes. It was true that Chu Jie had done things under Cai Jiu, but rather than being supported by the Cai family, it would be better to say that he was ordered to do a favor for the Cai family, and that For half a year, the person in the Cai family who had the most contact with him was Cai Junfeng.Cai Jiu treated him politely and courteously because he was needed, and Chu Jie would sell Cai Jiu some face in the past, but he only respected his seniors. There was no deep friendship between them, let alone What kindness and righteousness, all this was clearly told to her by Chu Jie on the way to send her to Cai's house the day before yesterday.He only has business dealings with the Cai family. As for who is the master of the Cai family, it has nothing to do with him, and it is impossible to get involved in the internal struggles of the Cai family.
Sure enough, Chu Jie had a terrified expression on his face: "Nephew, what's wrong with your sister?"
Cai Junfeng expressed embarrassment and apology appropriately: "Too many things have happened in the family recently, and Amin can't bear such a blow."
"Oh——" Chu Jie expressed understanding, "Then don't bother me." Glancing at Shuya who was standing at the door of the bedroom, "Aya, didn't you say that you want to have dinner with everyone? The sun is not as good as hitting the sun, so tonight, how about it?"
"Okay," Shuya forced a smile, "You choose the place to eat, and after you choose, just call me and let me know."
Seeing Chu Jie and his group walk out of the ward, completely ignoring her pleading for help, Cai Wenmin's expression was pitiful.Closing the door, Cai Junfeng turned to look at her. Under his cold gaze, her desperate courage was gone, and her body shrank into a ball.
"Idiot," he said coldly, "do you think I can't send you in after you get out of the mental hospital?"
Shu Ya finally chose to stand in front of Cai Wenmin: "Second brother, there will be no next time, I promise."
Cai Junfeng remained silent while Shuya stood in front of Cai Wenmin and looked at him. After a while, he turned and opened the door. Before leaving, he said coldly, "This is the last time!"
Only after the door was closed again did Cai Wenmin dare to cry.
Seeing Cai Wenmin lying on the ground crying loudly, Shu Ya felt an urge to cry, what are these things, if she let go of her now... Cai Wenmin on the hospital bed flashed before her eyes. The appearance of the broken body, Cai Wentao's bleak and sad smile at the time of parting, and the promise she made to him, and looking at the sad and desperate Cai Wenmin in front of her, Shuya's heart softened again, and she helped Cai Wenmin to sit on the sofa He poured a glass of water and handed it to her: "You take a rest first, I have already ordered dinner, and the restaurant will deliver it when the time comes."
If she doesn't go out to get some air, Shuya is afraid that she will suffocate.As soon as he put his hand on the doorknob, he heard Cai Wenmin say from behind: "You know my brother is innocent, why don't you help him?" There was resentment in his tone.
Shuya didn't look back: "How do you want me to help?"
Cai Wenmin was speechless, witnesses and physical evidence, directly to Cai Wentao, what can he use to prove his innocence?
Opening the door, Shuya asked again: "Why?" It's not always clear who owes whom, why should she be accused of ungratefulness again and again?
Walking out of the hospital, a feeling of fatigue invaded her whole body. Shuya raised her hand, trying to hail a taxi, but a car stopped in front of her. Chu Jie opened the door and smiled like a spring breeze: "Get in the car."
Shu Ya was extremely tired, so she didn't refuse. After she got in the car and sat down, Chu Jie spoke at a slow pace: "Didn't you tell his sister about Cai Wentao?" It was terrible, almost biting his tongue.
Shuya sighed: "I originally planned to tell the mother and daughter the truth after going abroad. It's safer to do so."
Chu Jie nodded: "That's right, seeing Miss Cai's temperament, she is not a person who can hide things."
Shuya sighed again, curled up in a corner, looking haggard
Chu Jie looked at her and felt uncomfortable for her: "You can't let go of both sides. In the end, both sides are thankless. Why bother?"
"Please, who am I supposed to please?" Shuya's sullenness suddenly broke out, "He's so annoying, everyone thinks I'm a soft girl?"
"How about a soft girl," Jin Yuanbao, who was driving in the front seat, sighed, "Your body is delicate and your waist is soft and easy to push down." Suddenly feeling a chill on the back of his head, he raised his eyes to glance at the rearview mirror, met Chu Jie's gloomy eyes, and Shu Ya shrank her neck involuntarily due to her vicious eyes, and drove honestly and seriously.
"Otherwise, don't bother with their Cai family's affairs, and let me handle it." Chu Jie tried his best to put on a calm posture.
"You?" Shuya looked at him sideways, "Aren't you only asking about the internal affairs of the Cai family?"
"I only help you achieve the result you want, not meddling in the internal affairs of the Cai family."
After thinking about it, Shuya shook her head; "No, I don't want to owe you any more favors." When she said the word owed, she remembered another thing, just in time to see a bank not far ahead, and hurriedly shouted, " Stop, Brother Yuan Bao, stop the car."
Jin Yuanbao quickly parked the car on the side of the road.
"What's wrong?" Chu Jie asked with concern.
"Please wait a moment, I still owe you money, just stop by the bank to get cash to pay off the debt."
"Don't be in such a hurry." Chu Jie hurriedly stopped him, joking, asking her to pay back the money today, what reason would he find to see her next time?
Before he finished speaking, Shuya had already jumped out of the car: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day. Pay off the debt as soon as possible, and I will feel at ease sooner."
Seeing her trotting all the way into the bank gate, Chu Jie was depressed, patted his forehead, and looked up to see Jiang Zhiyuan and Jin Yuanbao Qiqi turned around to look at him from the front row. Have you seen enough?"
"Brother Jie," Jin Yuanbao decided to risk his life to speak harshly, "I think it's not suitable for you to pretend to be x."
"That's true," Jiang Zhiyuan agreed without winking, "The highest state of pretending to be x is to make people not feel that the other party is pretending to be x. In this regard, Cai Junfeng is obviously better than you, Brother Jie."
"Although Aya seems to like the pretty boy surnamed Cai, but Brother Jie, you really don't need to imitate him just because of this."
"Cai Junfeng's core charm is to pretend to be x, but your core charm, Brother Jie, is arrogant enough. A big white swan pretending to be a white swan is still a little too much, and a big tiger pretending to be a kitten is too unreliable."
The two sang together, Chu Jie was so angry that his face turned pale, and he pointed at them tremblingly: "You two, your skin is itchy, aren't you?"
The dinner location was set to be in Hongfu Building. When Chu Jie and his party arrived, Wu Meng and Lin Pingzhi had already reserved a private room and were waiting there.As soon as Shuya was seated, Lin Pingzhi immediately took the menu card and slipped to her side: "Aya, let me order with you." He is familiar with the dishes of this restaurant, and also understands the tastes of everyone present, Shuya readily agreed.
Chu Jie sat at the side drinking tea, his eyes flicked to Shuya who was laughing and discussing dishes with Yan Yan and Lin Pingzhi from time to time, and felt depressed that she was much more enthusiastic towards Lin Pingzhi than to him.
Lin Pingzhi made several gestures on the menu: "These dishes and desserts are all your favorite flavors, do you want to try them?"
Chu Jie quietly glanced at the menu board, and he was really ashamed to say that he didn't know anything about Shu Ya's preferences. Knowing the enemy is a prerequisite for winning. He stared at Lin Pingzhi maliciously, and decided to find time Hit this kid hard, make him spit out all the information.Lin Pingzhi shuddered inexplicably, looked up and looked around in a daze.
Dishes were brought to the table one after another. Everyone in the room had a good relationship with Shu Ya back then. We reunited after a long absence. Everyone was very happy from the bottom of their hearts. The atmosphere at the table was lively. Funny, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Zhiyuan took a sip of his wine, feeling quite emotional: "In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed. Speaking of it, I still feel that the days in Fengshao Bar were the happiest and most relaxing."
Everyone nodded one after another, quite sympathetic.
Jin Yuanbao was next to Shuya, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Half a year after you left, Fengshao Bar closed down, brothers can all see that Brother Jie was in a particularly bad mood during that time." He While speaking, he stared at her face carefully.
Wu Meng's personality is the most straightforward, and he said bluntly: "Since everyone is reading it, why not reopen Fengshao Bar, Aya, you come back too, my brothers will continue to praise you as an Internet celebrity, and I promise to let you You are even redder than when you were in the Dream Wine."
"Aya, if you come back, I'll help you." Lin Pingzhi strongly hoped that Shu Ya would come back.
Shuya propped her head on her hands, and laughed, because of the wine, her snow-white face was flushed pink, and her slightly curved eyes seemed to be shining with water: "Those happy days, let them stay in memory It's better, even if we re-live the old days now, it is impossible to find the original mood, and I will leave here soon, and I am afraid that there will not be many chances to come back in the future."
"Is that so?" Wu Meng looked at Chu Jie, then at Shu Ya, and lowered his head to drink.
They had already heard the conversation between Shuya and Cai Junfeng in the hospital before. Although Jiang Zhiyuan and Jin Yuanbao were not surprised, they couldn't help but glance at Chu Jie.
Lin Pingzhi looked at Shu Ya tearfully: "Can't you stay?"
"Hey, Brother Aping," Shuya laughed, "Let's not make the atmosphere so sad, okay?"
Chu Jie kept staring at the glass of red wine in front of him, as if he had never heard of their conversation, Jiang Zhiyuan wished to step on him, Boss, don't be too dedicated, now is not the time to pretend to be X.
Shuya raised her wine glass: "It's rare to get together, I respect everyone."
Chu Jie drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and couldn't help frowning. The taste of the red wine was a bit bitter, so it would be better to drink white wine.
Dinner is still going on, but it is no longer the original warm atmosphere.After a while, one by one made excuses to leave first. Even Lin Pingzhi, who didn't want to leave the most, was forcibly pulled away by Wu Meng. In the end, only Chu Jie and Shuya were left in the private room.
"I didn't ask them to say those words just now," Chu Jie said, "However, they were really kind and wanted to help me."
"I'm going to pay the bill." Shuya picked up the handbag. "After paying the bill, I will take a taxi home directly. If you are drunk, stop driving and go back by taxi."
"Xiaojiang has already paid the bill." Chu Jie looked at the text message on the phone.
Shu Ya frowned: "Why do you do this?" Knowing that Chu Jie was not short of money for this meal, but she didn't want to owe him anything, even a small amount, she took out a wad of cash from her handbag and put it in the On the table, she turned and left.
"Aya," Xu Shi drank too much, Chu Jie's voice was hoarse, "I went to the hospital to look for you four years ago."
Shuya's steps faltered, but she didn't look back.
"In the hospital, I learned that you had left the city. Looking at the empty ward, I couldn't tell what kind of mood I was feeling at that time. I just felt very uncomfortable. Until then, I realized how wrong I was. It turns out that I like you so much, and the sincerity I missed is so precious. There is no medicine for regret in this world. No matter how much I regret it, I can’t turn back time and smooth out the harm I have done to you. I only hope In the days to come, I will have the opportunity to make up for it and recover the treasure I missed."
Chu Jie went around to her and faced her: "I don't ask you to believe and forgive me now, but please don't reject me thousands of miles away, give me time and opportunity, I will try my best to make you Seeing my sincerity, is it okay to use practical actions to ask for your forgiveness?"
After a moment of silence, Shuya slowly raised her hand and gestured towards herself: "I broke two ribs, and it took me half a year to recuperate to recover. In the first month after the injury, breathing, swallowing, and speaking would all be so painful that I would break out in a cold sweat. The doctor said that using too much painkiller is not good for your health, so you can only bear it. When the pain is severe, you often can’t sleep all night, and you are extremely sleepy. The pain, as long as I experience it once, I will never dare to try it a second time in my life."
He looked at her with pain in his eyes, and wanted to say something, but his voice seemed to be choked in his throat.
"Four years is enough for a person to change a lot. Very early on, I no longer hate you, and likewise, I don't like you anymore, Chu Jie, I don't like you anymore." Shuya sipped lips, with a slight smile, "The prodigal son will not return the money, that's just for those who still care about the prodigal son, if they don't care anymore, who cares whether the prodigal son will return or not?"
Passing in front of Chu Jie, Shuya opened the door, hurriedly walked out of the hotel, and stood on the steps in front of the hotel, her eyes were hot, and a choking astringency came to her nose.Looking up at the high and distant night sky, she took a deep breath, feeling as if the sea and the sky were vast.
In the hotel box, Chu Jie stood quietly in place, as if he was in a trance, with a constant sense of emptiness in his chest, just like when Shu Ya woke up late at night after a hangover, his heart was empty, as if he was missing something. The big chunk made him at a loss.Raising his hand, he touched his ribs, and there were bursts of pain in his chest.
