Black-bellied CEO: Lai Shang's Assistant

Chapter 143 The Valve of Memories ([-])
quiet cafe,

Kong Suya sat opposite Zhou Rui, she held the cup tightly with both hands.Ceramics separated the scorching temperature so that her hands were not burned.

Zhou Rui looked up at Kong Suya and said, "You must have recognized me, right?"

"Hmm." Kong Suya nodded.

"I'm sorry about what happened back then."

Kong Suya shook her head and said with a wry smile: "It's all my own fault, you don't have to feel guilty. Even if someone really feels sorry for me, it's not you."

"You just got out of prison." Zhou Rui made a rough calculation, and this year is the tenth year.

When he was sitting at the trial site, he saw the judge make a final decision, and then a young girl was locked up in a cold prison for ten years.

She went to jail, he couldn't say that it had nothing to do with him.

"I came out a month ago, time flies so fast, I'm already 27 years old." Kong Suya took a sip of the coffee, and the bitter taste spread through her throat to her stomach.

Why is it so bitter even though I put three spoonfuls of sugar in it?
"Why don't you leave City A, you're not safe here?" Zhou Rui reminded.

Kong Suya looked up at Zhou Rui, her indifferent eyes met Zhou Rui's anxious eyes.Zhou Rui was startled suddenly, feeling a sudden knock on his heart.

Her eyes were too cold, and there was despair and loneliness in this coldness.One can imagine how much she suffered during the ten years in prison.

"Are I insecure or Xingyue Group is insecure, or are you afraid that Shangguanyun is insecure?" Kong Suya suddenly pursed her lips into a smile, jokingly said.

Zhou Rui suddenly became nervous, and scolded seriously: "What happened back then is over, you'd better not act rashly again."

"Don't worry, I am very clear about who I am now and what Shangguan Yun is. Besides, the original transaction was completely voluntary. In the past ten years, I don't blame anyone." Kong Suya sank Eyes, like a star suddenly falling.

Only then did Zhou Rui breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Why do you insist on looking for a job in City A? Didn't you know you'd meet him here?"

This him, of course, refers to Shangguan Ye.

Kong Suya bit her lips lightly, and tightly clenched her hands on the table, "I have never left City A, where do you want me to go?"

The 17 years of free life were spent in City A, and the ten years of imprisonment behind bars was also spent in City A.She has never been anywhere except City A.

Although the world is developing too fast, the current city A is not what she remembers at all.But she is only familiar with this place, only recognizes this place.

"I have been out of touch with this society for ten years. Survival is very difficult for me. Do you still want me to leave my hometown?" Kong Suya stared at Zhou Rui, her tone suddenly became tough.

It's not that she doesn't hate, it's just that she doesn't have the right to hate, because she was sorry for Shangguan Ye first.

Zhou Rui also seemed to realize that he was a bit cruel. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "You can go to your brother. He took so much money back then, so he should have some achievements now, right?"

"My brother is dead."

"Dead?" Zhou Rui frowned in disbelief.

Kong Suya swallowed her saliva, and said calmly: "In the third year after I was imprisoned, he was beaten to death by loan sharks."

"Then what are you going to do now?" Zhou Rui looked at the girl sitting across from him pityingly, feeling a little annoyed at himself.

He actually knew everything, but couldn't say a single word.

"I just want to live a good life." Now she has nothing else to ask for, she just hopes to have a place to settle down, and a job to support herself, no matter how hard or tiring she is, she can bear it.

"It's impossible for you to keep up with Master Shangguan, although I know it's cruel to say so." Zhou Rui kindly reminded her that she was afraid of getting hurt.

Kong Suya pursed her thin lips into a line, and said for a long while: "I know there is no possibility for us. I didn't deserve him ten years ago, and I don't deserve him now. I didn't stay in City A because of him, it's just that there is no other place where I can match him." go."

"I don't mean to look down on you, it's just that we all live in real life, and sometimes we have to compromise."

"No one is more realistic than me." Kong Suya smiled self-deprecatingly.

Of course Zhou Rui understood her implication, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

The already quiet coffee shop is even more lonely, and the soft piano music echoes in my ears, like a low voice chanting between lovers.

She remembered that Shangguan Ye liked to play the piano, and Chopin's music was his favorite.Every time he played the piano to her, although she couldn't understand, she was very happy in her heart.

At that time, she had already realized the gap between herself and Shangguan Ye. If Shangguan Ye was a piano piece, then she could only be an inconspicuous country folk song.But she worked hard to get closer to Shangguan Ye, and Shangguan Ye also tried hard to accommodate her.

If it weren't for that accident, they wouldn't have ended prematurely.Although we cannot escape the fate of separation after all, at least meeting again will not be as tense as it is now.

Shangguan Ye hated her, and had hated her for ten years.As long as she thinks about this matter, she will feel as if a knife is twisting in her heart, and she wants to die.

"Where do you live now?" After a long silence, Zhou Rui spoke first.

"Sometimes I sleep on a bench in the park, sometimes I sleep in front of someone else's house, and I don't need to spend a penny." Kong Suya spoke in a very calm tone, as if describing an irrelevant matter. things.

Zhou Rui's heart tightened suddenly, as if someone had grabbed him severely.

He couldn't imagine such a thin girl sleeping on the street, it was getting colder and colder, how did she survive the long night?
"If you don't mind, come live at my house." Zhou Rui frowned, and there were tears in his eyes.

Kong Suya pondered for a moment, then refused: "You should have a wife and children, what do you mean by taking me back?"

"I'm divorced, and my child is four years old. I'm usually busy with work and can't take care of him. If you move here, you can help me take care of the child, and it will be your rent. Do you think this is appropriate?" Zhou Rui asked tentatively .

"Well, I will be your child's nanny first. When I find a job and have a stable income, I will move out immediately." Kong Suya said.

"It couldn't be better." Zhou Rui smiled slightly, feeling better at last.

In fact, when he saw Kong Suya ten years ago, he was moved by this kind and simple girl.Later she was put in prison, and he often blamed himself so much that he couldn't sleep.Now being able to help her in her most difficult time can be regarded as fulfilling a long-cherished wish.

"Is he married?" Kong Suya asked seemingly casually.

Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "I'm not married, but my girlfriends have changed a lot."

"Oh." Kong Suya stirred the spoon in her hand without saying anything.
