imaginary lover

"May..." On the grassy slope under the gloomy sky, Xiaoyi fell to the ground and panted with difficulty, with blood foaming from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm here, father." May knelt beside Xiaoyi, "I'll call the doctor."

Xiaoyi shook his head feebly, reached into his clothes and took out a uniquely shaped object, and handed it to May.

May took it, heavy, solid metal, with a hollow design and exquisite decoration.

"This spoon...it's good to keep it... someone will tell you what to do in the future..." After Xiaoyi said, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and the body temperature gradually disappeared.

"Father! Father!" May cried eagerly, but in vain.Everything around him began to become blurred and viscous, like a rolling vortex, making people dizzy and nauseous.

May rolled over and sat up, the sky was getting bright outside the window, and she couldn't help shivering in cold sweat.

Eight years later, May is still haunted by nightmares.The scene where the father was shot and killed was repeated over and over again, causing poor sleep and nervous breakdown.

She rubbed her sleepy hair and pulled out the necklace around her neck. The pendant was the spoon entrusted by her father. May looked at it carefully for a moment, then stuffed it back into the collar.

Turned over and got out of bed, dressed up, opened the door to the inner room, knelt down in front of the shrine and offered incense.Two exquisitely framed black and white photos are enshrined, showing Xiaoyi's rigorous face and Chen Meifang's smile.

"Uncle Rong," after getting dressed, May pushed open the door of the study, and saw that the steward was helping to sort the received documents and place them on the desk, "I reviewed the manifest at the dock last night before going to bed, there is nothing wrong with it, you can Let them do it."

"Okay, young master." Uncle Rong bowed and saluted.The former young steward has been sculpted by the years to become mature and steady, and some fine lines have been added between his brows.

May sat in front of the desk, sorting out the newly delivered materials.

"By the way, Uncle Rong, Xiao Chuan took my suit to help me take care of it. Please remind him that it must be returned before the evening reception."

"Okay." Uncle Rong bowed and saw the young master yawned.

"Your dark circles have gotten worse, are you still not sleeping well these days?"

May pulled the round mirror on the desk to take a look, and said with some helplessness: "It looks like a ghost, it seems that I have to remember more layers of powder at night."

"Do you want me to make an appointment for a doctor to come to the mansion to show you?"

May waved his hand: "It's useless. Last time I prescribed so many medicines, it hurt my stomach but it didn't work. I don't want to have diarrhea anymore." Recalling the bad memory, May rolled her eyes in exhaustion, with a bitter expression on her face. Mutually.

Uncle Rong couldn't help laughing. Ms. May still has the temperament of her childhood, without pretentiousness, lacking the gentleness and elegance of a woman, but she can also bear the burden of the family business.

In the evening, a fat man rushed into the headquarters carrying a dry cleaner's bag.

"Sister May, the suit is back from washing~" a sweet voice.

"OK, bring the biography, I have to change it quickly." May took it.

"Sister May, do you need me to do anything else?" Xiao Chuan asked.

"It's nothing." May shook off his suit and put it on his arm, before entering the room to change.

"Then I'll go back to Fishing Long~" Xiao Chuan bid farewell and ran out of the headquarters again.

After changing into a suit and coming out, May fastened her tie clip in front of the mirror, pushed the door open and walked into the yard.

The sky was not completely dark yet, the guests who came early chatted in twos and threes, the servants adjusted the angle of the spotlights, and the waiter walked back and forth with a tray holding several glasses of wine in goblets.

"Uncle Qiongyu." Seeing a familiar figure, May stopped the waiter to take a glass of wine and walked towards Li Qiongyu.

"Meimei, this is very handsome." Li Qiongyu turned around and saw May in a neat suit, and her high ponytail added a little neutral flavor to her, "If you are a boy, you should It makes my kid look dull."

May laughed it off, and went back politely: "Uncle Qiongyu, my brother Wei is knowledgeable and talented, so he should be even better."

The servants greeted a large number of guests, a lively crowd.The reception at Qiying gathered many business elites and black market bosses to communicate with each other on money laundering and other underground transactions.It has been an unspoken law of society since ancient times that black and white are friendly, cooperative, and interoperable. Whether justice or evil in this world is good, it is nothing but a game for the strong.

As night falls, spotlights illuminate the starry sky. May narrowed her eyes, looking at her revitalized huge achievements, her expression was cold and lonely.

Li Qiongyu looked at this child, the heroism between his brows can be described as a replica of Xiaoyi.Inheriting Meifang's beautiful face, her frowns and smiles reveal her inner stubbornness and unyieldingness.

She must have gone through too many ups and downs before honing into a composure that shows neither emotions nor anger.Li Qiongyu thought, and patted May on the shoulder: "It is not easy to promote the development of the abandoned film industry, but Meimei should also be careful not to make herself too hard."

May chuckled lightly, her gaze was bleak: "The situation is forced to do this, maybe people don't know how much ability they have hidden until they are at the end of the road."

Li Qiongyu sighed, wanting to say a few words of comfort but didn't know where to start. After a moment of silence, he changed the topic and introduced the topic: "May, after your father passed away, some projects have indeed been put on hold for too long. Uncle is here this time. I also wanted to ask your opinion."

May was noncommittal and did not make a sound.

"Father, May." Someone greeted behind him, and May turned around, a handsome and thin man.

"Li Yunwei." May read, there was no warmth in her smile.

Li Yunwei opened his mouth to speak, but May suddenly noticed something and turned his head sideways.

"By the way, Uncle Qiongyu," May raised his hand to signal Li Qiongyu to look at a person in the distance, and said to him, "The rudder master who made a living in G City that I mentioned to you earlier has arrived, and you want to sell your old thing. , but you can discuss it with him, let me introduce it to you, and we can talk about the price in detail."

Li Qiongyu thanked May, and successfully communicated with the helmsman of G City through May. May talked with you in detail, then walked away again.

Li Yunwei. May hid in the huge shadow under the spotlight, and there was a hint of ferocity in her eyes.

The lock clicked, and Through closed his book and looked up at the clock.One o'clock.

"Master." Through went up to meet him.

"Haven't slept yet?" Li Yunwei let go of his tie, rubbed the back of his neck tiredly and went upstairs.

"You didn't come back, so you didn't sleep well." Through followed Li Yunwei into the bedroom.

Li Yunwei took off his coat, turned around and hugged Through against the door, and gave him a deep and passionate kiss.

Through was a little suffocated, barely avoided, and asked: "What kind of wine, it tastes very strong."

"Ha, I don't know where May got the concocted sardines, I drank a little."

"Is it the reception of Abandoned Shadow?"

"Well, my father made a special trip to discuss with May the plan to merge the organization in recent years, but as a result, May introduced a handicap helmsman to his father to open up the sales of the underworld, and the topic was diverted. The two The discussion has not yet broken up."

Through listened quietly, thoughtfully.

"To be honest, I don't understand May now. When we were children, we were playmates. She was always sunny, friendly and kind. However, her temperament has changed a lot in recent years. She was gloomy and reticent. First, it was rumored that she killed her mother and brother, and burned the abandoned shadow book. Afterwards, Abandoned Shadow was precarious and moved overseas, and finally re-emerged as a hero, but after returning to China, they seemed to be far away from each other." Li Yunwei said, "Also, when Abandoned Shadow was determined to merge, but when Uncle Xiaoyi passed away After repeated delays, and now May has not mentioned this matter, I have been wondering if May has any misunderstanding or prejudice against Zhisheng, and I wanted to ask, but I have never found a chance."

Through frowned: "I always see reports adding fuel and vinegar to talk about the ruthlessness of abandoning the shadow and being the head of the family. The examples are almost false."

"Public opinion, just listen to it casually, there is no authenticity." Li Yunwei reached out to ruffle Through's soft hair, pushed him down on the bed, and unbuttoned his clothes.
