Life With You

Near the kindergarten where Xiaojie was interviewing was a time-honored restaurant in the Night City, which was famous for its breakfast. George Sheng held Song Xi's hand, she held his arm, and he wrapped her hand in his coat pocket. The two usually went out. Just get in the car, it is rare to have such an opportunity to drive on the road. Although the weather is cold, Song Xi is happy in his heart.

The hotel was renovated from the courtyard of the old royal palace, with high walls and a red door. It was just past nine in the morning, and the parking spaces in front of the door were already full. Song Xi and George Sheng had just walked to the door. She accidentally raised her head and glanced, a few meters in front of her. The back of the woman who was about to cross the threshold was very familiar. Almost subconsciously, Song Xi slightly raised her voice and called out: Auntie?

The woman in front turned her head when she heard the sound. The face that looked exactly like Song Xi's, soft and calm, was none other than Lu Fangqi.

Song Xi couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and stepped forward to greet her. George Sheng followed her. When she got closer, Song Xi smiled and said, Auntie, you came alone?

Lu Fangqi had undergone brain tumor surgery and her memory function was damaged. Not only would she gradually forget the past, she would also quickly forget even some details of what happened yesterday. To put it nicely, it is called 'goldfish memory'. To put it bluntly, it is the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease in advance.

She and Song Xi had not seen each other for a few days. At this time, she looked at Song Xi's face with a look of confusion in her eyes. Song Xi had heard Xu Shunping tell her, but the two of them had just sat together for dinner a few days ago, and now Lu Fangqi Not knowing her, she was extremely sad, and tears instantly came to her eyes.

Trying to hold the corner of her lips, Song Xi took the initiative to remind her: Auntie, I am the daughter of Uncle Xu's friend. My name is Song Xi. I just went to the hospital to see Lele a few days ago. Lele likes to eat cakes from my friend's restaurant. , I promised to bring it to him the next time I go to see him, it just so happens that my friend’s restaurant is not open these two days, so I will go over to see him tomorrow.”

Song Xi mentioned several key figures in succession, and Lu Fangqi tried hard to search them in her memory. Four or five seconds later, she smiled and said, It's you. I'm sorry, my memory is very bad, so I didn't recognize them.

Song Xi had tears in her eyes and replied with a smile: It's okay, I just looked like it was you...did you come here alone?

Lu Fangqi pointed in the direction: The driver is waiting over there. I'll come over and buy some breakfast for Lele.

While speaking, she cast her gaze on George Sheng's face. Seeing this, Song Xi took the initiative to introduce: This is my husband.

George Sheng nodded politely, Hello, I am George Sheng.

Lu Fangqi nodded, Hello, the young man is so handsome. The two of them standing together are very pleasing to the eye.

Song Xi said: Lele is also very handsome. When he grows up, ask him to find you a beautiful daughter-in-law.

Lu Fangqi said: Actually, I prefer girls, but it's a pity that I don't have a daughter. Your parents must be very happy to have such a beautiful and outstanding daughter like you, and to find such a good son-in-law.

The tears gathered in Song Xi's eyes fell, and she was caught off guard. She quickly stretched out her hand to wipe them away, and said with a smile: It's so cold, I'm crying a little bit in the wind.

George Sheng raised his hand to help her dry it, Shall we go in and talk?

Lu Fangqi also said: Yeah, don't stand here, it's the wind outlet.

The three of them walked in together, no one looked back, and no one noticed a white private car parked not far behind them. There were two people in the car, Sheng Qianyu in the driver's seat and Fang Hui in the passenger seat.

Fang Hui looked at the figure disappearing from sight and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Sheng Qianyu had long been used to being heartbroken. Even if she didn't see it with her own eyes, she knew that seeing George Sheng and Song Xi together now would only hurt a little more. Originally, She parked the car and was about to get out, but Fang Hui asked her to wait.

Seeing Fang Hui thinking deeply at this time, Sheng Qianyu asked calmly: What's wrong?

Fang Hui said: Did you hear what Song Xi called her just now?

Sheng Qianyu said calmly: I seem to be calling aunt...who is that woman?

Fang Hui said: Lu Fangqi, it's normal that you haven't heard of Song Yuanqing's ex-wife, a beautiful woman who was famous throughout the Night City in our era.

Sheng Qianyu's face was expressionless when she heard it, but when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but change her face and looked sideways at Fang Hui, Then she and Song Xi...

Fang Hui frowned lightly, She is Song Xi's biological mother. Song Yuanqing and she only had a daughter named Song Xi. Even if Lu Fangqi remarries, why would Song Xi call her aunt?

Sheng Qianyu pondered and said, I think Lu Fangqi didn't seem to recognize Song Xi just now.

Fang Hui said: Lu Fangqi remarried Xu Shunping and moved abroad for more than ten years. I don't know what happened in the middle...

Sheng Qianyu's eyes quickly flashed with surprise, You said Lu Fangqi's current position is Xu Shunping?

Fang Hui said meaningfully, No, it turns out that Song Yuanqing and Xu Shunping had a good relationship, but it turned out that Lu Fangqi divorced Song Yuanqing and then married Xu Shunping.

Sheng Qianyu asked: Does Song Xi have any contact with Xu Shunping and Lu Fangqi in recent years?

Fang Hui said: I don't know.

Sheng Qianyu said: You said that Xu Shunping had just returned to China to take up a new post. It stands to reason that he did not need to operate on Tan Yanbo. But if you said that Song Xi's biological mother is Xu Shunping's current wife, then you can explain why he held on to Tan Yanbo. It’s clear.”

There was a complicated look in Fang Hui's eyes, Your father has also thought of this relationship for a long time. He even suspected that Xu Shunping returned to China to take up a job at this time in order to help the Song family. In addition to Lu Fangqi's relationship, the personal relationship between Song Yuanqing and Xu Shunping cannot be ignored. .”

Sheng Qianyu said: Dad is he worried that Song Yuanqing will do something in prison?

Fang Hui said: What do you think? Your grandfather personally supervised the trial and judged Song Yuanqing's case at the beginning. It would have meant long nights and many dreams, and it would have been a quick way to cut through the mess. The scary thing is that the wild fire will not burn out and the spring breeze will blow again. Song Yuanqing still has a party above him. Handsome', as long as he's around, anything can happen.

Sheng Qianyu finally frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and said, If it's like what Dad worried about, then if Tan Yanbo is caught this time, Xu Shunping will definitely not let him go easily. No matter what happens, Tan Yanbo will be arrested. Don’t even think about Yan Bo coming out.”

Fang Hui sighed, Yes, what we are worried about now is that Xu Shunping refuses to let go, and how long Tan Yanbo can survive. Even if Tan Yanbo doesn't know 100% of our family's business in Zhuhai, he still knows about 50%. Well, as long as he is in there, we won’t be able to sleep soundly.”

Sheng Qianyu said: If you can't do Xu Shunping's job, then you can only start with Tan Yanbo. If the soft one doesn't work, then use the hard one. Tan Kai is still in the hospital recovering from his illness, right?

When she said this, her rationality was almost cold-blooded. This was an obvious reminder. Fang Hui whispered: Threats are a last resort. They cannot be used lightly until the last moment, for fear that Tan Yanbo will have a rebellious mentality. , the worst case scenario is that we all die together.”

Sheng Qianyu said: No, I can see what happened to Tan Kai this time in Night City. Tan Yanbo values ​​Tan Kai more than his life. He can die by himself, but he will not let his only son die first.
