Fall in a second
Chapter 93
Aunt Ji's words immediately separated the two people. To her, Lu Ming was just an outsider. Although it was true, it was still a bit sad to hear that.
If they get married soon, they will be able to become a family.
Just thinking of Aunt Ji's indifferent appearance just now, Lu Ming felt uneasy, and even her self-confidence was frustrated. After a little adjustment, Lu Ming continued to smile and said: "I just want to do something for Aunt Ji, Even the little things don't matter."
"Put your mind on your studies, and don't worry about my affairs." Ji Youqing's words were as indifferent as ever.
Lu Ming had no choice but to shut up, her head drooped slightly, and she no longer had the courage to speak, at least during this time period.She didn't know why Aunt Ji was suddenly upset and lost her temper. This feeling made her very uneasy and uncomfortable, and she also felt a little pain in her heart, throbbing and throbbing.
Just like that, Ji Youqing drove the car, and the two of them didn't talk to each other all the way.
After returning to the community, the speed of the car slowed down, and the neighbors on the way greeted them, Ji Youqing continued to remain indifferent and said nothing, in order to solve the embarrassment, Lu Ming had to take the initiative to wave to the other party through the window, the car stopped at the door, Ji Youqing After a short operation, he opened the door and got out of the car. Lu Ming quickly unfastened his seat belt and followed along.
Walking up the steps, Ji Youqing stretched out his hand to open the door and entered, silently changed his shoes in the hallway and walked in. After Lu Ming came in, he closed the door and was still changing shoes when he heard the sound of the door closing, stood upright, and walked in. , passed by Aunt Ji's room, the door was closed tightly, Lu Ming wanted to say something but was afraid to speak, so she hesitated and went back to her own room.
Lying on her small bed, Lu Ming leaned her head against the head of the bed, picked up her phone to check the time, it was almost 13:00 unknowingly, thinking that Aunt Ji hadn't had lunch yet, Lu Ming opened WeChat to give her sent a message.
Lu Ming: Aunt Ji, what do you want for lunch?
Once the message was sent out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. Lu Ming stared at the phone for 10 minutes and still didn't get any reply.
Gradually, drowsiness swept over, thinking that she slept late last night because of reading, and this morning because she had to get up to clean up after [-] o'clock in the morning because she had to take a subject test. , her hand slid down and placed on her chest, and as her eyelids became heavier, Lu Ming fell asleep unconsciously.
In Ji Youqing's room, the curtains were tightly drawn tightly, and almost no light came in. She was lying on her side on the side of the bed, curled up, her tears couldn't stop falling, and she was already soaked. Without pillows and bed sheets, it is easy to collapse when faced with the matter of my sister being imprisoned and terminally ill.
She hated herself for not discovering this earlier. If she discovered something wrong with her sister earlier, she might be able to prevent all this from happening. As long as she thought of the scene of her sister getting into the car in handcuffs, Ji Youqing would feel extremely sad.
For so many years, it seems that good luck has never come to Ji's family. Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing, the staff is scattered, walking, and getting sick. Ji Youqing can't imagine that after her sister leaves, she will be the only one left in Ji's family to live alone. in this world.
What is the difference between living and living?
If possible, Ji Youqing would rather their family has no money and just be an ordinary family, as long as the whole family is there.
Once upon a time, how much she envied other people's complete families, the days when a family of four were together, as time went by, the memory in her brain became more and more faded, and she was afraid that one day she would not be able to remember what it was like at all. .
In the company on the other side, the original investor suddenly proposed to withdraw the capital, Xia Yi rushed back to deal with it urgently, it has been several hours now, and he has not eaten or drank until now, the company has always had regulations, Ji Youqing and Ji Youqing When Jing Ning was not around, when something important happened, Xia Yi was given the power of leader, and Xie Xuan was his assistant.
"You see, we have been cooperating well before, why did we suddenly withdraw the capital when we said that we would withdraw the capital?" Xia Yi said with a smile.
"I heard the wind, your boss Ji killed someone, we can't continue to cooperate."
Xia Yi was a little embarrassed, "Where did you hear this, it's unreliable, how could it be?"
"I have someone I know in the police station. I think it's easy to hear the news. Don't say anything. Today's withdrawal is a decision."
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, look, the share we will give you this year can be raised even higher. As long as you don't withdraw your capital, everything is negotiable."
Despite Xia Yi's begging, the other party insisted on standing up and wanted to leave. Before leaving, he said: "I didn't even want to come, because of my friendship with Ji's family. Now that something like this happened to your leader, It is estimated that it will affect the reputation of the industry for a long time, and you, girl, I have seen many times that you are the docking job, and your work ability is not bad. Do you want to work with me and give you double the salary here? .”
Xia Yi's smile froze on his face, but he still politely rejected the other party, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhou, I still want to stay in this company."
"It's really stupid." The other party shook his hand and said as he walked out, "I'll wait for your news anytime."
Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa, when Xie Xuan opened the door and came in with a box of lunch in his hand.
"How's it going?"
Xia Yi reached out to take the boxed lunch and put it aside, not in the mood to eat, so she shook her head helplessly in response.
"Then I just... heard Mr. Zhou waiting for some news from you outside the door, so I thought we had reached a deal." Xie Xuan murmured.
Xia Yi curled her lips and said with a smile: "Boss Zhou wanted to poach me, and he paid me twice the salary."
"Damn it, twice? Then let me calculate how much it is..." Xie Xuan raised his head slightly and began to calculate, "How do you say it?"
"Of course I refuse the nonsense." Xia Yi rolled his eyes at him, "Why, you won't be tempted, right?"
"Tch, am I the kind of ungrateful person?"
"It's good to know, the two sisters have taught us to learn things and given us the opportunity to show them, so don't do anything like crossing rivers and tearing down bridges. I will despise you for the rest of my life. In the days to come, the two of us must stand firm. Take care of your position and solve all difficulties."
Xie Xuan was silent for a while and couldn't help asking: "Sister Jingning, did you really kill someone?"
Xia Yi lowered her head, opened her lunch box and prepared to eat, and gave a very calm and tactful answer: "Sister Youqing must be feeling very uncomfortable by herself now."
Xie Xuan was startled, it seemed that the rumors were true.
The circle is neither too big nor too small, and the slightest disturbance can spread the word.
After eating together, I went to inspect the workplace and overheard whispers from people in the company.
"Hey, have you heard that Mr. Zhou, who has been cooperating with us for many years, came to divest today?"
"Is it about Mr. Ji? Did she really kill someone?"
"I heard that it was her ex-husband who killed her. Although her ex-husband is quite heinous, it is wrong to kill people after all."
"It's hard work for a woman, but it's really not worth it to ruin the rest of my life for such a scumbag."
"Now that something like this has happened, I don't know if the company's profit will plummet. Have you thought about where you want to go?"
"I rely too much on you... I started thinking about finding another family so soon."
"I call it a rainy day. Is it true that I have to wait until the day when the company closes down and the wages cannot be paid and I am forced to resign. My family has a second child and I still have a mortgage, so I can't afford to delay."
"Shhhh, stop talking, someone is here."
"..."
Even so, Xia Yi and Xie Xuan also heard these people's words, Xia Yi was almost pissed off, her whole body was on fire, if it wasn't for Xie Xuan's suppression, she might have lost her temper on the spot until she left the working area Then it exploded completely.
"What the hell are those people? The company doesn't treat them badly, right? Why do they all start to be prepared for danger in times of trouble, and look like the world is going to die? I really can't stand it."
Xie Xuan leaned on the railing with his arms folded and said, "No way, most of them are ordinary people, and they have the pressure to support their families, so don't bother with them."
Xie Xuan let out a long breath, his back bounced off the railing in an instant, and he turned to Xia Yi and said, "Today, you should get off work early and go to see Sister Youqing. You and her are relatively close, and the company will leave it to you." I'm sorry, as the saying goes, the company can't be left alone for a day, after the accident of sister Jingning, sister Youqing will come back sooner or later to uphold justice, and can't just come here occasionally like before."
Xia Yi nodded: "I understand what you mean, but there is no rush for this matter. After encountering such a thing, not everyone can return to work normally immediately, so give Sister Yuqing some time. "
"That's natural, I understand." Xie Xuan said: "Sister Youqing is also very capable of working, but these years, due to physical reasons, she has always been the assistant of Sister Jingning, and during her absence, we Gotta work harder."
"Of course I don't need you to remind me, I will do well."
Unexpectedly, she just leaned on the bed and squinted casually. It was already late when Lu Ming opened her eyes again. The twilight outside the window was getting darker. She raised her hand and looked at her phone. It was 18:20. She sat up quickly and had to make dinner quickly , although Aunt Ji has never responded to her message, but this meal still has to be cooked, and Aunt Ji cannot be hungry.
Lu Ming is a person who does not hold grudges, no matter how cold Aunt Ji is to her during the day, she has to recover a little bit to cheer herself up quickly, go out to wash her face to wake herself up, and then go to the kitchen to start preparing.
Because there was a little movement during the cooking, Ji Youqing suddenly opened the door and came out of the room, looking haggard and spiritless.
Lu Ming hurriedly said, "Aunt Ji, I will make dinner right away."
Without warning, Ji Youqing said, "Go back to school."
Lu Ming's hands froze, and she raised her head with an innocent face, her eyes full of panic and uneasiness.
"Yes, is it something I did not do well enough, I will definitely change it."
Ji Youqing replied: "Put your mind on your studies instead of circling around me. I don't like that either."
Listening to what she said, Lu Ming clasped his hands on the edge of the operating table, feeling uneasy, with aggrieved and scared eyes.
At the end, Ji Youqing took a deep breath and said, "Go and pack your things, I will drive you in a while."
Lu Ming stood there motionless, her nose was sore, and she tried to hold back her tears. Is Aunt Ji going to drive her away?
At this moment, a doorbell rang outside, Ji Youqing turned around and went to open the door, the person outside was Xia Yi.
"Sister, have you eaten? I brought you something to eat. It's your favorite porridge shop." Xia Yi smiled and stretched out her hand.
"Come in first." Ji Youqing let Xia Yi in.
Xia Yi walked in, but unexpectedly saw Lu Ming standing in the open kitchen, with a half-finished dinner on the operating table, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "I'm making dinner, it's okay, just add a few more dishes The dishes are ready."
Lu Ming didn't say a word, Xia Yi saw that she was not the same as before, did something happen, or did she come at the wrong time.
Ji Youqing suddenly called out to her: "Xia Yi."
"I'm here, sister!" Xia Yi responded immediately.
"Do one thing for me, Lu Ming will pack up her things later and send her back to school."
"Ah?" Xia Yi, did she hear correctly?What happened, what is the situation?
"I'm a little tired, so I'll leave it to you." Ji Youqing turned and went back to the room after speaking.
Only Xia Yi and Lu Ming were left, Xia Yi hurriedly asked Lu Ming: "What happened, what's going on with you two?"
Lu Ming was dejected and unable to cheer up, lowered her head and murmured: "I'm going to pack my things now." After speaking, she walked out and ran to her room, Xia Yi was the only one staying there for a while, this, this what's going on.
With three points of anger and seven points of sadness, Lu Ming packed up her things. In fact, there were not many, some books and materials, a few clothes, and the rest were at school. The moment she came out with her bag on her back, she was still I was wondering if I was going to leave like this, and would there be a chance to come back in the future, wouldn't there be any possibility for her and Aunt Ji?For a while, there were miscellaneous conjectures in my mind.
Seeing Lu Ming come out, Xia Yi couldn't help asking: "I really want to send you back to school."
"This is what Aunt Ji meant..." Lu Ming had no choice but to accept.
"How about I go and talk to you?" Xia Yi asked.
Lu Ming shook her head: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, you can send me back first, maybe Aunt Ji is not in a good condition today."
"It's not that it has nothing to do with whether you are in a good state or not. What's the matter with Sister Youqing? I insist on talking to her." Xia Yi came to the door of Ji Youqing's room aggressively. Before he could knock on the door, the people inside had already opened the door. .
Ji Youqing glanced at Lu Ming who had already packed his things, with mixed emotions in his heart, pretending to be calm and said: "You go and wait outside first, I have something to explain to Xia Yi."
"Then I'll go out first, Aunt Ji take good care of herself." After speaking, Lu Ming clenched her lower lip and walked away quickly with her head lowered, for she was afraid that she would burst into tears a second later.
Seeing Lu Ming leaving with a pitiful appearance, Xia Yi didn't understand even more, and said directly to Ji Youqing: "Sister, I don't understand, why? Lu Ming is very good, look at her today for you Injured, the eye sockets are swollen like pandas."
"It's because she was injured again that I can't stay here even more." Ji Youqing murmured.
Xia Yi:? ? ?
She still didn't understand at first, but she was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly realized.
"But sister, you should make that girl so sad by doing this. Look at her pitiful appearance when she just went out."
Without saying a word, Ji Youqing took out a bank card from his pocket, handed it to Xia Yi and said, "Give this to her, and I will put enough money into this card every month from now on until she graduates from college. "
Xia Yi took the card and said helplessly, "I don't think she is short of the money."
"Go, it's getting late." Ji Youqing was obviously unwilling to continue chatting.
Xia Yi curled her lips helplessly, "Okay, I know how to do it, sister, remember to eat something, I put it on the table, call me anytime if you need anything."
Ji Youqing didn't speak, and after watching Xia Yi go out, she went to the kitchen silently. Seeing that Lu Ming had prepared most of the dinner, she felt very uncomfortable.
When Xia Yi came out, Lu Ming was sitting on the steps in a daze, she coughed as a signal.
Lu Ming raised her head and immediately stood up, not knowing what to say, so she chose not to speak.
Xia Yi didn't know what to say, if she insisted on saying some comforting words at this time, it would be too hypocritical and insincere.
"Let's go." With two simple words, she took out the car keys, and Lu Ming walked down the steps with her bag on her back to follow her.
After the two got into the car, Xia Yi glanced at the bright light in the house intentionally or unintentionally, started the car and turned around, and when he was about to drive away, Lu Ming looked out of the car window, there seemed to be a faint figure behind the glass door of the balcony. The figure, but not so sure, the light in the room went out in the next second, and she looked back a little lonely.
After the car was on the road, the navigation began to automatically broadcast the road conditions. After driving for a certain distance, Xia Yi suddenly asked, "You...haven't eaten anything tonight?"
Lu Ming slightly lowered her eyes and said, "It's all right."
"Huh... How about it, my sister will take you to a restaurant to have a meal, I haven't eaten yet."
It's not easy for Lu Ming to refuse, compared to sister Xia Yi who hasn't eaten yet, so I can't let people skip meals and send her back to school when she's hungry, she hesitated and didn't say anything.
"By the way, what time does your school dormitory lock the door?" Xia Yi asked again.
"10:30."
"That time should still be enough, a few hours is more than enough to eat, if it is too late, you can go to my house to make do with the night, and I will send you to school tomorrow morning." Xia Yi said.
Lu Ming forced a smile and didn't say anything more.
In this way, Xia Yi drove Lu Ming to the entrance of a Sichuan restaurant at random, and when parking, Xia Yi smiled and said: "I found a restaurant that should suit your taste."
Lu Ming looked up, the light sign of the Sichuan restaurant was blinking, the business of the restaurant was very good, even though there were no empty seats in the open space outside, she was not in the mood, had no appetite, and didn't want to eat much.
After applying the handbrake, Xia Yi let go of her seat belt and opened the car door. She couldn't help sniffing and said, "It smells so good, I can't wait, let's get in."
Lu Ming nodded, got out of the car and followed her.
"Boss, are there any seats left?" Xia Yi stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, yes, but you have to wait for a while. The guests at the table in front have just left, and the auntie is still cleaning up the table. Can you two wait?"
Xia Yi was a little hesitant, but seeing so many people eating here, the taste must be pretty good, so she easily agreed: "Okay, just wait a while."
The aunt who cleaned up was very quick with her hands and feet, and cleared out a table in two or three strokes, and Xia Yi and Lu Ming sat down on the empty table.
The boss brought over the menu, and before they had time to order, he hurried away to do other things. It was obviously November, and he was stunned to see sweat dripping from the face of the boss with dark skin. .
"Come on, let's see what dish you want to eat, order whatever you want today, I'll treat you." Xia Yi patted her chest and handed the menu to Lu Ming, her handsome short hair curled up.
Lu Ming smiled awkwardly, and returned the menu to Xia Yi without even looking at it: "Sister Xia Yi, please order, I have no appetite."
"Ah? The Sichuan restaurant specially selected for you, let's eat a little bit." Xia Yi murmured, looking down at the menu: "Forget it, then I'll help you order."
After ordering some dishes randomly, Xia Yi asked the boss to come and take away the menu, and then asked: "Do you drink?"
Lu Ming shook her head without hesitation, because Aunt Ji told her not to learn to drink, she didn't like it.
"Then I'll order a drink myself."
"Sister Xia Yi still needs to drive..." Lu Ming was a little worried.
"It's okay, it will be fine to call a substitute driver at that time. Now that society is so developed and convenient, it will not be the same as before." After she finished speaking, she went directly to the boss and asked for a beer, and she paid as much as she drank.
After waiting for a while, the dishes were served. They were all hot dishes, full of heat and heat waves, as if saying goodbye to that fiery summer.
Xia Yi looked at the plate of spicy chicken in front of her, which was covered with dried red chilies, and couldn't help swallowing. She tasted it first, "It's the same taste, but it's so spicy, it's so enjoyable." Then Opening a bottle of beer skillfully, I can't wait to fill my glass up, and gulp down a few mouthfuls to relieve the spiciness.
"Cool! You have to be happy in life, you have to be happy!" Xia Yi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lu Ming, "Eat something, it's boring to sit and let me eat alone."
Unable to withstand persuasion, and not wanting to refute sister Xia Yi's kindness, Lu Ming picked up chopsticks and ate something.
On the way to dinner, Xia Yi couldn't help but ask about the evening, what happened to Ji Youqing and her, Lu Ming shook her head helplessly, she said she didn't know, she lowered her head to make the tip of her nose feel sore, as if Something is about to be out of control.
"Aunt Ji... Aunt Ji seems to be starting to hate me..." Speaking of this, Lu Ming choked up.
Seeing her like this, Xia Yi suddenly felt uncomfortable and a little distressed.
"Okay, don't think too much about it. In fact, she is also experiencing suffering. She just doesn't want to bring you bad emotions. I hope you can concentrate on studying at school. I have known her for so many years." Xia Yi comforted.
Hearing this Lu Ming suddenly raised his head and asked her: "Can I have a drink?"
Xia Yi saw that her eyes were red and moist, even though she was shocked, she still did not refuse her: "Okay, of course." As she spoke, she directly opened a new bottle of wine and handed it to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming picked up the wine bottle and didn't bother to pour it into the cup. He lifted it up and poured it into his mouth. A small amount of liquid seeped out from the corner of his mouth, slipped through his throat, collarbone, and seeped into his clothes from the collar of his chest. It was cold, but Biting enough to be sobering.
Xia Yi was stunned, holding her chopsticks for a long time without moving, just staring at the girl seven or eight years younger than her in front of her, who drank half a bottle of beer in one go.
Seeing her put down the drink, she hurriedly said: "Come and have something to eat, don't just drink, or you will have a stomachache when there is nothing in your stomach." While talking, Xia Yi put some vegetables into her bowl.
Lu Ming took another sip of wine, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Finally, she couldn't hold on and cried. It was the silent kind of crying. The tears flowed down, but there was no crying sound. She didn't obey her orders, but kept on She kept pouring herself alcohol, she knew it was not good to do so, but she couldn't control herself, she heard that alcohol could have a paralyzing effect, she wished she could get drunk, and then there would be no more pain.
Looking at Lu Ming crying, Xia Yi is quite helpless, the most helpless thing she can do is a girl crying in front of her.
At first, I was still persuading her not to cry, but then I directly compromised and said to her: "Cry, cry, just cry and let it out."
I don't know how much wine I drank, Lu Ming finally cried and lay down on the table, Xia Yi called her several times but didn't respond, she looked like she had almost eaten, she called the boss to pay the bill, then got up to go It's called Luming.
"Wake up, wake up, we're leaving."
Lu Ming was dazed and nuzzled, a little delirious, trying to get up but only stretched out a hand, Xia Yi had no choice but to help her up, muttering to herself: "If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have let you Drinking so much wine, if Miss Youqing finds out, they will have to blame me again."
Helping her all the way to get into the car, Xia Yi sat in the car and called the driver, and waited for about ten minutes for the driver to come over, Xia Yi handed over the car keys to the other party and returned to the back seat of the car to sit with Lu Ming , She was drunk and sat alone in the back, she was worried.
After the surrogate driver got in the car, he confirmed the destination with her, "Are you going to S University now?"
"Yes." Xia Yi paused, and quickly glanced at the time. It was already 11:30, even if he went to school now, Lu Ming couldn't get into the dormitory, "Forget it, I won't go to S University, I'll give it to you again an address."
After communicating with the surrogate driver, the car started to move, Xia Yi said to Lu Ming beside her: "There is no way to send you back to school now, let's go to my house for a night."
Lu Ming squinted her eyes and nodded in a daze, Xia Yi took it as her consent.
The car accidentally bumped into a rock while driving, and saw that Lu Ming was about to hit the car window, Xia Yi quickly pulled her back, but due to inertia, Lu Ming fell directly to the ground. Falling into Xia Yi's arms, she was terrified, and looked down at the girl, slowly collagen face, long eyelashes, small but straight nose, and ruddy color dyed with heaven and man, with a seductive luster, Xia Yi couldn't help swallowing, trying to get rid of the messy thoughts in her head.
The surrogate driver who was driving ahead accidentally glanced at the two people in the rearview mirror, Xia Yi felt a little guilty, so she quickly straightened Lu Ming's body and sat up.
After a while, Lu Ming's head tilted due to the loss of gravity, and landed on Xia Yi's shoulder. Xia Yi's heart tightened, and the raised hand finally retracted silently. Forget it, let her Lean on it, nothing will happen.
In this way, the surrogate driver helped drive the car to the downstairs of Xia Yi's apartment in the rental community. After paying the bill, Xia Yi showed the phone to the other party and said, "I have already paid, thank you."
"You're welcome." After returning the car keys to her, the driver got out of the car, walked around to the back and opened the trunk, took out his small folding e-Donkey, and walked away, disappearing into the dark night.
Xia Yi helped Lu Ming unbuckle her seat belt, and said to her: "Here we are, get off."
Lu Ming was half asleep and half awake, trying to get out of the car, and almost stepped on the ground. Fortunately, Xia Yi supported her, closed the car door and led her all the way upstairs, and gave her the bed. After covering the quilt, Xia Yi began to give herself On the floor, she didn't drink a lot, but Lu Ming drank much more than she did tonight, and she was still awake. Xia Yi went to take a bath and came back, and she was even more awake, but her head was a little swollen.
She was lying on the floor with her arm under the pillow, and picked up her phone with the other hand to check it. It was already twelve o'clock, and she should go to bed. She went to work tomorrow, and she didn't know what to face.
As a result, just as he put down his phone, a WeChat message came over.
Ji Youqing: Are you asleep?
Xia Yi: Not yet, sister, you haven't slept yet.
Ji Youqing: I can't sleep.
Ji Youqing: Did you send Lu Ming back to school?
Xia Yi: I [cold sweat.jpg]
Ji Youqing: What's the matter?
Xia Yi: Something happened at night, before I had time to go back, I took her to my place to spend the night first, she slept on the bed, and I slept on the floor.
After the reply, the other party never sent a message. Xia Yi was a little puzzled and a little guilty. After a few minutes, there was still no reply from the other party. Xia Yi was about to go to bed. Dead, quickly got up with the mobile phone and rushed to the balcony outside, closed the balcony door and answered the call.
"Hey... Sister... Sister Yuqing..."
"What's going on?" Ji Youqing asked straight to the point.
Xia Yi is a person who is not used to lying, especially when facing Ji Youqing, she simply tells the truth.
"Sister like this, don't worry, I was going to send Lu Ming back to school, but I was really hungry, thinking she didn't have dinner, so I took her to eat some, then, It's getting so late."
"Five hours for one meal?"
"No, sister, we drank some wine. To be precise, Lu Ming drank some wine and then accidentally drank too much. I wanted to stop it, but I didn't."
"Why did you let her drink?" Ji Youqing was a little angry after hearing this, and said angrily: "Don't you know that she is still a student, what is not good for learning to drink."
"Don't be angry, sister, it's because... because you treated her like that at night, you don't know how sad and pitiful the little girl was crying in front of me at night."
Holding the phone, Ji Youqing's eyelids twitched, and her heart also trembled, but she still pretended not to care.
"I see, you can take care of her for me, and send her back to school when she wakes up tomorrow."
After Ji Youqing was about to hang up the phone, Xia Yi hurriedly stopped her: "Sister, wait a minute, wait a minute, that is, do you have to do this? She is really sad."
Standing in front of the window, Ji Youqing took a long breath, lowered his head and said, "The worst thing I did was to let her move into my house and drag her into my terrible life."
Because she should be able to, study well in school, make friends, experience the wonderful college life...
It's not because of frequent injuries, strange looks at school, and gossip.
Xia Yi pursed her lips a little moved, "Sister, don't say that, she..."
"Okay, don't talk about it, I know how to write the word stop loss in time, it's getting late, you should go to bed earlier." After finishing speaking, Ji Youqing didn't give her a chance to talk more, and put down the phone directly.
The phone next to her ear turned into a beeping busy tone, Xia Yi took down the phone, and muttered in her mouth: "Time... time... stop... loss... What do you mean?"
She racked her brains, put her hands on the balcony railing, and thought hard. The cold wind in the middle of the night made her more awake. At this moment, an answer popped into her mind.
Could it be that Sister You Qing... is tempted by Lu Ming?Have feelings?
So it is necessary to stop the loss in time!
the next day.
Xie Xuan just came to the company and encountered this scene. The people who directly killed him were caught off guard. They saw that the downstairs was full of reporters and media, each holding a press release, a tripod, and a video camera, and then harassed the employees who entered the company. He was driving a car Fortunately, he reacted quickly, turned around in time and prepared to enter through another door, and at the same time called Xia Yi.
"Hey, when did you come to the company, something big happened."
Xia Yi lay down on the floor in a daze to answer the phone, her brain instantly cleared up: "What are you talking about, what happened?"
"Now the public opinion is getting louder and louder. Many reporters and media are blocking random interviews downstairs in the company. I walked around through the back door. I advise you not to leave through the front door later."
"Damn, it's so serious!"
"When will you come? I alone can't figure out the situation."
At this moment, the person on the other end of the phone fell silent, Xie Xuan parked the car in the basement, and shouted a few more times: "Hello, where's the person?"
"Ah, I'm here."
"Don't tell me you haven't gone out yet, have you?"
Xia Yi smiled awkwardly, "I drank too much yesterday, and you just woke up when you called."
"I'll call you auntie." Xie Xuansheng had nothing to love.
"Okay, you go ahead first, I still have something to do now, I'll go to the company after I'm done."
"What is so important." Xie Xuan was puzzled.
"Miss Youqing told me about the matter. I have to drive Lu Ming to S University first. That's enough. I won't tell you. I'm going to get up and clean up." After opening the quilt, the person on the bed behind him spoke.
"Sister Xia Yi, go get busy with important things. I'm fine. I'll just go back to school by car."
Xia Yi turned her head and said, "How can that be possible? I promised Sister Yuqing that I will send you back to school."
"I'm really fine. It's not too far from the school. Today is also the weekend. I'm not in a hurry. I'll just take the bus later." Lu Ming insisted.
While Xia Yi was concerned about the company, Lu Ming insisted on it, so she had no choice but to give up and said, "Well, it's because you insisted not to ride in my car."
Lu Ming nodded, then scratched her head and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally drank too much yesterday and don't remember anything, and I'm causing trouble for you again, Sister Xia Yi."
"No trouble, no trouble, I can understand human nature." Xia Yi smiled.
After the two cleaned up and washed one after the other, they closed the door together and went downstairs. Just as Xia Yi was about to get in the car, she suddenly remembered one more thing. She took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Lu Ming, saying: : "You take this."
"This is..." Lu Ming was puzzled.
"Your Aunt Ji asked me to bring it to you yesterday. She said that she will cover your tuition and living expenses for the next four years. She will write it on this card for you. Hurry up and accept it. Look, she actually cares about you very much." of."
Lu Ming froze there, with mixed feelings in her heart, not a happy feeling. If she guessed right, what Aunt Ji gave her was that she would never have anything to do with her in the future. ?
"What's the matter with you, hurry up." Xia Yi is also big-hearted, of course she won't think as long as Lu Ming.
"I don't want it." Lu Ming raised her head and said firmly, "Sister Xia Yi, please take it back to Aunt Ji."
"Ah? Why?"
"Anyway, I won't ask for it." Like a stubborn little girl, Lu Ming strode away without saying a word, carrying her bag on her back.
"Ah... this..." Xia Yi looked at her back and patted her head helplessly.
I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to Sister Youqing now, it's really difficult for her.
With a sigh of relief, forget it, she should go to the company as soon as possible, otherwise it will depend on Xie Xuan alone, and what kind of mess will happen.
Put away the bank card given by Ji Youqing, and Xia Yi intends to hand it to her when we meet next time, drive on the road alone, and buy four steamed buns, a cup of soy milk, and a tea egg at the bun shop on the side of the road. This is the basic standard breakfast for Xia Yi , if she doesn't have enough to eat, she won't be able to go to work.
When I drove past the avenue in front of the company, I saw the scene Xie Xuan said, and Xia Yi felt terrified. Who are these people? What are the security guards doing?
If they get married soon, they will be able to become a family.
Just thinking of Aunt Ji's indifferent appearance just now, Lu Ming felt uneasy, and even her self-confidence was frustrated. After a little adjustment, Lu Ming continued to smile and said: "I just want to do something for Aunt Ji, Even the little things don't matter."
"Put your mind on your studies, and don't worry about my affairs." Ji Youqing's words were as indifferent as ever.
Lu Ming had no choice but to shut up, her head drooped slightly, and she no longer had the courage to speak, at least during this time period.She didn't know why Aunt Ji was suddenly upset and lost her temper. This feeling made her very uneasy and uncomfortable, and she also felt a little pain in her heart, throbbing and throbbing.
Just like that, Ji Youqing drove the car, and the two of them didn't talk to each other all the way.
After returning to the community, the speed of the car slowed down, and the neighbors on the way greeted them, Ji Youqing continued to remain indifferent and said nothing, in order to solve the embarrassment, Lu Ming had to take the initiative to wave to the other party through the window, the car stopped at the door, Ji Youqing After a short operation, he opened the door and got out of the car. Lu Ming quickly unfastened his seat belt and followed along.
Walking up the steps, Ji Youqing stretched out his hand to open the door and entered, silently changed his shoes in the hallway and walked in. After Lu Ming came in, he closed the door and was still changing shoes when he heard the sound of the door closing, stood upright, and walked in. , passed by Aunt Ji's room, the door was closed tightly, Lu Ming wanted to say something but was afraid to speak, so she hesitated and went back to her own room.
Lying on her small bed, Lu Ming leaned her head against the head of the bed, picked up her phone to check the time, it was almost 13:00 unknowingly, thinking that Aunt Ji hadn't had lunch yet, Lu Ming opened WeChat to give her sent a message.
Lu Ming: Aunt Ji, what do you want for lunch?
Once the message was sent out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. Lu Ming stared at the phone for 10 minutes and still didn't get any reply.
Gradually, drowsiness swept over, thinking that she slept late last night because of reading, and this morning because she had to get up to clean up after [-] o'clock in the morning because she had to take a subject test. , her hand slid down and placed on her chest, and as her eyelids became heavier, Lu Ming fell asleep unconsciously.
In Ji Youqing's room, the curtains were tightly drawn tightly, and almost no light came in. She was lying on her side on the side of the bed, curled up, her tears couldn't stop falling, and she was already soaked. Without pillows and bed sheets, it is easy to collapse when faced with the matter of my sister being imprisoned and terminally ill.
She hated herself for not discovering this earlier. If she discovered something wrong with her sister earlier, she might be able to prevent all this from happening. As long as she thought of the scene of her sister getting into the car in handcuffs, Ji Youqing would feel extremely sad.
For so many years, it seems that good luck has never come to Ji's family. Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing, the staff is scattered, walking, and getting sick. Ji Youqing can't imagine that after her sister leaves, she will be the only one left in Ji's family to live alone. in this world.
What is the difference between living and living?
If possible, Ji Youqing would rather their family has no money and just be an ordinary family, as long as the whole family is there.
Once upon a time, how much she envied other people's complete families, the days when a family of four were together, as time went by, the memory in her brain became more and more faded, and she was afraid that one day she would not be able to remember what it was like at all. .
In the company on the other side, the original investor suddenly proposed to withdraw the capital, Xia Yi rushed back to deal with it urgently, it has been several hours now, and he has not eaten or drank until now, the company has always had regulations, Ji Youqing and Ji Youqing When Jing Ning was not around, when something important happened, Xia Yi was given the power of leader, and Xie Xuan was his assistant.
"You see, we have been cooperating well before, why did we suddenly withdraw the capital when we said that we would withdraw the capital?" Xia Yi said with a smile.
"I heard the wind, your boss Ji killed someone, we can't continue to cooperate."
Xia Yi was a little embarrassed, "Where did you hear this, it's unreliable, how could it be?"
"I have someone I know in the police station. I think it's easy to hear the news. Don't say anything. Today's withdrawal is a decision."
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, look, the share we will give you this year can be raised even higher. As long as you don't withdraw your capital, everything is negotiable."
Despite Xia Yi's begging, the other party insisted on standing up and wanted to leave. Before leaving, he said: "I didn't even want to come, because of my friendship with Ji's family. Now that something like this happened to your leader, It is estimated that it will affect the reputation of the industry for a long time, and you, girl, I have seen many times that you are the docking job, and your work ability is not bad. Do you want to work with me and give you double the salary here? .”
Xia Yi's smile froze on his face, but he still politely rejected the other party, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhou, I still want to stay in this company."
"It's really stupid." The other party shook his hand and said as he walked out, "I'll wait for your news anytime."
Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa, when Xie Xuan opened the door and came in with a box of lunch in his hand.
"How's it going?"
Xia Yi reached out to take the boxed lunch and put it aside, not in the mood to eat, so she shook her head helplessly in response.
"Then I just... heard Mr. Zhou waiting for some news from you outside the door, so I thought we had reached a deal." Xie Xuan murmured.
Xia Yi curled her lips and said with a smile: "Boss Zhou wanted to poach me, and he paid me twice the salary."
"Damn it, twice? Then let me calculate how much it is..." Xie Xuan raised his head slightly and began to calculate, "How do you say it?"
"Of course I refuse the nonsense." Xia Yi rolled his eyes at him, "Why, you won't be tempted, right?"
"Tch, am I the kind of ungrateful person?"
"It's good to know, the two sisters have taught us to learn things and given us the opportunity to show them, so don't do anything like crossing rivers and tearing down bridges. I will despise you for the rest of my life. In the days to come, the two of us must stand firm. Take care of your position and solve all difficulties."
Xie Xuan was silent for a while and couldn't help asking: "Sister Jingning, did you really kill someone?"
Xia Yi lowered her head, opened her lunch box and prepared to eat, and gave a very calm and tactful answer: "Sister Youqing must be feeling very uncomfortable by herself now."
Xie Xuan was startled, it seemed that the rumors were true.
The circle is neither too big nor too small, and the slightest disturbance can spread the word.
After eating together, I went to inspect the workplace and overheard whispers from people in the company.
"Hey, have you heard that Mr. Zhou, who has been cooperating with us for many years, came to divest today?"
"Is it about Mr. Ji? Did she really kill someone?"
"I heard that it was her ex-husband who killed her. Although her ex-husband is quite heinous, it is wrong to kill people after all."
"It's hard work for a woman, but it's really not worth it to ruin the rest of my life for such a scumbag."
"Now that something like this has happened, I don't know if the company's profit will plummet. Have you thought about where you want to go?"
"I rely too much on you... I started thinking about finding another family so soon."
"I call it a rainy day. Is it true that I have to wait until the day when the company closes down and the wages cannot be paid and I am forced to resign. My family has a second child and I still have a mortgage, so I can't afford to delay."
"Shhhh, stop talking, someone is here."
"..."
Even so, Xia Yi and Xie Xuan also heard these people's words, Xia Yi was almost pissed off, her whole body was on fire, if it wasn't for Xie Xuan's suppression, she might have lost her temper on the spot until she left the working area Then it exploded completely.
"What the hell are those people? The company doesn't treat them badly, right? Why do they all start to be prepared for danger in times of trouble, and look like the world is going to die? I really can't stand it."
Xie Xuan leaned on the railing with his arms folded and said, "No way, most of them are ordinary people, and they have the pressure to support their families, so don't bother with them."
Xie Xuan let out a long breath, his back bounced off the railing in an instant, and he turned to Xia Yi and said, "Today, you should get off work early and go to see Sister Youqing. You and her are relatively close, and the company will leave it to you." I'm sorry, as the saying goes, the company can't be left alone for a day, after the accident of sister Jingning, sister Youqing will come back sooner or later to uphold justice, and can't just come here occasionally like before."
Xia Yi nodded: "I understand what you mean, but there is no rush for this matter. After encountering such a thing, not everyone can return to work normally immediately, so give Sister Yuqing some time. "
"That's natural, I understand." Xie Xuan said: "Sister Youqing is also very capable of working, but these years, due to physical reasons, she has always been the assistant of Sister Jingning, and during her absence, we Gotta work harder."
"Of course I don't need you to remind me, I will do well."
Unexpectedly, she just leaned on the bed and squinted casually. It was already late when Lu Ming opened her eyes again. The twilight outside the window was getting darker. She raised her hand and looked at her phone. It was 18:20. She sat up quickly and had to make dinner quickly , although Aunt Ji has never responded to her message, but this meal still has to be cooked, and Aunt Ji cannot be hungry.
Lu Ming is a person who does not hold grudges, no matter how cold Aunt Ji is to her during the day, she has to recover a little bit to cheer herself up quickly, go out to wash her face to wake herself up, and then go to the kitchen to start preparing.
Because there was a little movement during the cooking, Ji Youqing suddenly opened the door and came out of the room, looking haggard and spiritless.
Lu Ming hurriedly said, "Aunt Ji, I will make dinner right away."
Without warning, Ji Youqing said, "Go back to school."
Lu Ming's hands froze, and she raised her head with an innocent face, her eyes full of panic and uneasiness.
"Yes, is it something I did not do well enough, I will definitely change it."
Ji Youqing replied: "Put your mind on your studies instead of circling around me. I don't like that either."
Listening to what she said, Lu Ming clasped his hands on the edge of the operating table, feeling uneasy, with aggrieved and scared eyes.
At the end, Ji Youqing took a deep breath and said, "Go and pack your things, I will drive you in a while."
Lu Ming stood there motionless, her nose was sore, and she tried to hold back her tears. Is Aunt Ji going to drive her away?
At this moment, a doorbell rang outside, Ji Youqing turned around and went to open the door, the person outside was Xia Yi.
"Sister, have you eaten? I brought you something to eat. It's your favorite porridge shop." Xia Yi smiled and stretched out her hand.
"Come in first." Ji Youqing let Xia Yi in.
Xia Yi walked in, but unexpectedly saw Lu Ming standing in the open kitchen, with a half-finished dinner on the operating table, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "I'm making dinner, it's okay, just add a few more dishes The dishes are ready."
Lu Ming didn't say a word, Xia Yi saw that she was not the same as before, did something happen, or did she come at the wrong time.
Ji Youqing suddenly called out to her: "Xia Yi."
"I'm here, sister!" Xia Yi responded immediately.
"Do one thing for me, Lu Ming will pack up her things later and send her back to school."
"Ah?" Xia Yi, did she hear correctly?What happened, what is the situation?
"I'm a little tired, so I'll leave it to you." Ji Youqing turned and went back to the room after speaking.
Only Xia Yi and Lu Ming were left, Xia Yi hurriedly asked Lu Ming: "What happened, what's going on with you two?"
Lu Ming was dejected and unable to cheer up, lowered her head and murmured: "I'm going to pack my things now." After speaking, she walked out and ran to her room, Xia Yi was the only one staying there for a while, this, this what's going on.
With three points of anger and seven points of sadness, Lu Ming packed up her things. In fact, there were not many, some books and materials, a few clothes, and the rest were at school. The moment she came out with her bag on her back, she was still I was wondering if I was going to leave like this, and would there be a chance to come back in the future, wouldn't there be any possibility for her and Aunt Ji?For a while, there were miscellaneous conjectures in my mind.
Seeing Lu Ming come out, Xia Yi couldn't help asking: "I really want to send you back to school."
"This is what Aunt Ji meant..." Lu Ming had no choice but to accept.
"How about I go and talk to you?" Xia Yi asked.
Lu Ming shook her head: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, you can send me back first, maybe Aunt Ji is not in a good condition today."
"It's not that it has nothing to do with whether you are in a good state or not. What's the matter with Sister Youqing? I insist on talking to her." Xia Yi came to the door of Ji Youqing's room aggressively. Before he could knock on the door, the people inside had already opened the door. .
Ji Youqing glanced at Lu Ming who had already packed his things, with mixed emotions in his heart, pretending to be calm and said: "You go and wait outside first, I have something to explain to Xia Yi."
"Then I'll go out first, Aunt Ji take good care of herself." After speaking, Lu Ming clenched her lower lip and walked away quickly with her head lowered, for she was afraid that she would burst into tears a second later.
Seeing Lu Ming leaving with a pitiful appearance, Xia Yi didn't understand even more, and said directly to Ji Youqing: "Sister, I don't understand, why? Lu Ming is very good, look at her today for you Injured, the eye sockets are swollen like pandas."
"It's because she was injured again that I can't stay here even more." Ji Youqing murmured.
Xia Yi:? ? ?
She still didn't understand at first, but she was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly realized.
"But sister, you should make that girl so sad by doing this. Look at her pitiful appearance when she just went out."
Without saying a word, Ji Youqing took out a bank card from his pocket, handed it to Xia Yi and said, "Give this to her, and I will put enough money into this card every month from now on until she graduates from college. "
Xia Yi took the card and said helplessly, "I don't think she is short of the money."
"Go, it's getting late." Ji Youqing was obviously unwilling to continue chatting.
Xia Yi curled her lips helplessly, "Okay, I know how to do it, sister, remember to eat something, I put it on the table, call me anytime if you need anything."
Ji Youqing didn't speak, and after watching Xia Yi go out, she went to the kitchen silently. Seeing that Lu Ming had prepared most of the dinner, she felt very uncomfortable.
When Xia Yi came out, Lu Ming was sitting on the steps in a daze, she coughed as a signal.
Lu Ming raised her head and immediately stood up, not knowing what to say, so she chose not to speak.
Xia Yi didn't know what to say, if she insisted on saying some comforting words at this time, it would be too hypocritical and insincere.
"Let's go." With two simple words, she took out the car keys, and Lu Ming walked down the steps with her bag on her back to follow her.
After the two got into the car, Xia Yi glanced at the bright light in the house intentionally or unintentionally, started the car and turned around, and when he was about to drive away, Lu Ming looked out of the car window, there seemed to be a faint figure behind the glass door of the balcony. The figure, but not so sure, the light in the room went out in the next second, and she looked back a little lonely.
After the car was on the road, the navigation began to automatically broadcast the road conditions. After driving for a certain distance, Xia Yi suddenly asked, "You...haven't eaten anything tonight?"
Lu Ming slightly lowered her eyes and said, "It's all right."
"Huh... How about it, my sister will take you to a restaurant to have a meal, I haven't eaten yet."
It's not easy for Lu Ming to refuse, compared to sister Xia Yi who hasn't eaten yet, so I can't let people skip meals and send her back to school when she's hungry, she hesitated and didn't say anything.
"By the way, what time does your school dormitory lock the door?" Xia Yi asked again.
"10:30."
"That time should still be enough, a few hours is more than enough to eat, if it is too late, you can go to my house to make do with the night, and I will send you to school tomorrow morning." Xia Yi said.
Lu Ming forced a smile and didn't say anything more.
In this way, Xia Yi drove Lu Ming to the entrance of a Sichuan restaurant at random, and when parking, Xia Yi smiled and said: "I found a restaurant that should suit your taste."
Lu Ming looked up, the light sign of the Sichuan restaurant was blinking, the business of the restaurant was very good, even though there were no empty seats in the open space outside, she was not in the mood, had no appetite, and didn't want to eat much.
After applying the handbrake, Xia Yi let go of her seat belt and opened the car door. She couldn't help sniffing and said, "It smells so good, I can't wait, let's get in."
Lu Ming nodded, got out of the car and followed her.
"Boss, are there any seats left?" Xia Yi stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, yes, but you have to wait for a while. The guests at the table in front have just left, and the auntie is still cleaning up the table. Can you two wait?"
Xia Yi was a little hesitant, but seeing so many people eating here, the taste must be pretty good, so she easily agreed: "Okay, just wait a while."
The aunt who cleaned up was very quick with her hands and feet, and cleared out a table in two or three strokes, and Xia Yi and Lu Ming sat down on the empty table.
The boss brought over the menu, and before they had time to order, he hurried away to do other things. It was obviously November, and he was stunned to see sweat dripping from the face of the boss with dark skin. .
"Come on, let's see what dish you want to eat, order whatever you want today, I'll treat you." Xia Yi patted her chest and handed the menu to Lu Ming, her handsome short hair curled up.
Lu Ming smiled awkwardly, and returned the menu to Xia Yi without even looking at it: "Sister Xia Yi, please order, I have no appetite."
"Ah? The Sichuan restaurant specially selected for you, let's eat a little bit." Xia Yi murmured, looking down at the menu: "Forget it, then I'll help you order."
After ordering some dishes randomly, Xia Yi asked the boss to come and take away the menu, and then asked: "Do you drink?"
Lu Ming shook her head without hesitation, because Aunt Ji told her not to learn to drink, she didn't like it.
"Then I'll order a drink myself."
"Sister Xia Yi still needs to drive..." Lu Ming was a little worried.
"It's okay, it will be fine to call a substitute driver at that time. Now that society is so developed and convenient, it will not be the same as before." After she finished speaking, she went directly to the boss and asked for a beer, and she paid as much as she drank.
After waiting for a while, the dishes were served. They were all hot dishes, full of heat and heat waves, as if saying goodbye to that fiery summer.
Xia Yi looked at the plate of spicy chicken in front of her, which was covered with dried red chilies, and couldn't help swallowing. She tasted it first, "It's the same taste, but it's so spicy, it's so enjoyable." Then Opening a bottle of beer skillfully, I can't wait to fill my glass up, and gulp down a few mouthfuls to relieve the spiciness.
"Cool! You have to be happy in life, you have to be happy!" Xia Yi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lu Ming, "Eat something, it's boring to sit and let me eat alone."
Unable to withstand persuasion, and not wanting to refute sister Xia Yi's kindness, Lu Ming picked up chopsticks and ate something.
On the way to dinner, Xia Yi couldn't help but ask about the evening, what happened to Ji Youqing and her, Lu Ming shook her head helplessly, she said she didn't know, she lowered her head to make the tip of her nose feel sore, as if Something is about to be out of control.
"Aunt Ji... Aunt Ji seems to be starting to hate me..." Speaking of this, Lu Ming choked up.
Seeing her like this, Xia Yi suddenly felt uncomfortable and a little distressed.
"Okay, don't think too much about it. In fact, she is also experiencing suffering. She just doesn't want to bring you bad emotions. I hope you can concentrate on studying at school. I have known her for so many years." Xia Yi comforted.
Hearing this Lu Ming suddenly raised his head and asked her: "Can I have a drink?"
Xia Yi saw that her eyes were red and moist, even though she was shocked, she still did not refuse her: "Okay, of course." As she spoke, she directly opened a new bottle of wine and handed it to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming picked up the wine bottle and didn't bother to pour it into the cup. He lifted it up and poured it into his mouth. A small amount of liquid seeped out from the corner of his mouth, slipped through his throat, collarbone, and seeped into his clothes from the collar of his chest. It was cold, but Biting enough to be sobering.
Xia Yi was stunned, holding her chopsticks for a long time without moving, just staring at the girl seven or eight years younger than her in front of her, who drank half a bottle of beer in one go.
Seeing her put down the drink, she hurriedly said: "Come and have something to eat, don't just drink, or you will have a stomachache when there is nothing in your stomach." While talking, Xia Yi put some vegetables into her bowl.
Lu Ming took another sip of wine, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Finally, she couldn't hold on and cried. It was the silent kind of crying. The tears flowed down, but there was no crying sound. She didn't obey her orders, but kept on She kept pouring herself alcohol, she knew it was not good to do so, but she couldn't control herself, she heard that alcohol could have a paralyzing effect, she wished she could get drunk, and then there would be no more pain.
Looking at Lu Ming crying, Xia Yi is quite helpless, the most helpless thing she can do is a girl crying in front of her.
At first, I was still persuading her not to cry, but then I directly compromised and said to her: "Cry, cry, just cry and let it out."
I don't know how much wine I drank, Lu Ming finally cried and lay down on the table, Xia Yi called her several times but didn't respond, she looked like she had almost eaten, she called the boss to pay the bill, then got up to go It's called Luming.
"Wake up, wake up, we're leaving."
Lu Ming was dazed and nuzzled, a little delirious, trying to get up but only stretched out a hand, Xia Yi had no choice but to help her up, muttering to herself: "If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have let you Drinking so much wine, if Miss Youqing finds out, they will have to blame me again."
Helping her all the way to get into the car, Xia Yi sat in the car and called the driver, and waited for about ten minutes for the driver to come over, Xia Yi handed over the car keys to the other party and returned to the back seat of the car to sit with Lu Ming , She was drunk and sat alone in the back, she was worried.
After the surrogate driver got in the car, he confirmed the destination with her, "Are you going to S University now?"
"Yes." Xia Yi paused, and quickly glanced at the time. It was already 11:30, even if he went to school now, Lu Ming couldn't get into the dormitory, "Forget it, I won't go to S University, I'll give it to you again an address."
After communicating with the surrogate driver, the car started to move, Xia Yi said to Lu Ming beside her: "There is no way to send you back to school now, let's go to my house for a night."
Lu Ming squinted her eyes and nodded in a daze, Xia Yi took it as her consent.
The car accidentally bumped into a rock while driving, and saw that Lu Ming was about to hit the car window, Xia Yi quickly pulled her back, but due to inertia, Lu Ming fell directly to the ground. Falling into Xia Yi's arms, she was terrified, and looked down at the girl, slowly collagen face, long eyelashes, small but straight nose, and ruddy color dyed with heaven and man, with a seductive luster, Xia Yi couldn't help swallowing, trying to get rid of the messy thoughts in her head.
The surrogate driver who was driving ahead accidentally glanced at the two people in the rearview mirror, Xia Yi felt a little guilty, so she quickly straightened Lu Ming's body and sat up.
After a while, Lu Ming's head tilted due to the loss of gravity, and landed on Xia Yi's shoulder. Xia Yi's heart tightened, and the raised hand finally retracted silently. Forget it, let her Lean on it, nothing will happen.
In this way, the surrogate driver helped drive the car to the downstairs of Xia Yi's apartment in the rental community. After paying the bill, Xia Yi showed the phone to the other party and said, "I have already paid, thank you."
"You're welcome." After returning the car keys to her, the driver got out of the car, walked around to the back and opened the trunk, took out his small folding e-Donkey, and walked away, disappearing into the dark night.
Xia Yi helped Lu Ming unbuckle her seat belt, and said to her: "Here we are, get off."
Lu Ming was half asleep and half awake, trying to get out of the car, and almost stepped on the ground. Fortunately, Xia Yi supported her, closed the car door and led her all the way upstairs, and gave her the bed. After covering the quilt, Xia Yi began to give herself On the floor, she didn't drink a lot, but Lu Ming drank much more than she did tonight, and she was still awake. Xia Yi went to take a bath and came back, and she was even more awake, but her head was a little swollen.
She was lying on the floor with her arm under the pillow, and picked up her phone with the other hand to check it. It was already twelve o'clock, and she should go to bed. She went to work tomorrow, and she didn't know what to face.
As a result, just as he put down his phone, a WeChat message came over.
Ji Youqing: Are you asleep?
Xia Yi: Not yet, sister, you haven't slept yet.
Ji Youqing: I can't sleep.
Ji Youqing: Did you send Lu Ming back to school?
Xia Yi: I [cold sweat.jpg]
Ji Youqing: What's the matter?
Xia Yi: Something happened at night, before I had time to go back, I took her to my place to spend the night first, she slept on the bed, and I slept on the floor.
After the reply, the other party never sent a message. Xia Yi was a little puzzled and a little guilty. After a few minutes, there was still no reply from the other party. Xia Yi was about to go to bed. Dead, quickly got up with the mobile phone and rushed to the balcony outside, closed the balcony door and answered the call.
"Hey... Sister... Sister Yuqing..."
"What's going on?" Ji Youqing asked straight to the point.
Xia Yi is a person who is not used to lying, especially when facing Ji Youqing, she simply tells the truth.
"Sister like this, don't worry, I was going to send Lu Ming back to school, but I was really hungry, thinking she didn't have dinner, so I took her to eat some, then, It's getting so late."
"Five hours for one meal?"
"No, sister, we drank some wine. To be precise, Lu Ming drank some wine and then accidentally drank too much. I wanted to stop it, but I didn't."
"Why did you let her drink?" Ji Youqing was a little angry after hearing this, and said angrily: "Don't you know that she is still a student, what is not good for learning to drink."
"Don't be angry, sister, it's because... because you treated her like that at night, you don't know how sad and pitiful the little girl was crying in front of me at night."
Holding the phone, Ji Youqing's eyelids twitched, and her heart also trembled, but she still pretended not to care.
"I see, you can take care of her for me, and send her back to school when she wakes up tomorrow."
After Ji Youqing was about to hang up the phone, Xia Yi hurriedly stopped her: "Sister, wait a minute, wait a minute, that is, do you have to do this? She is really sad."
Standing in front of the window, Ji Youqing took a long breath, lowered his head and said, "The worst thing I did was to let her move into my house and drag her into my terrible life."
Because she should be able to, study well in school, make friends, experience the wonderful college life...
It's not because of frequent injuries, strange looks at school, and gossip.
Xia Yi pursed her lips a little moved, "Sister, don't say that, she..."
"Okay, don't talk about it, I know how to write the word stop loss in time, it's getting late, you should go to bed earlier." After finishing speaking, Ji Youqing didn't give her a chance to talk more, and put down the phone directly.
The phone next to her ear turned into a beeping busy tone, Xia Yi took down the phone, and muttered in her mouth: "Time... time... stop... loss... What do you mean?"
She racked her brains, put her hands on the balcony railing, and thought hard. The cold wind in the middle of the night made her more awake. At this moment, an answer popped into her mind.
Could it be that Sister You Qing... is tempted by Lu Ming?Have feelings?
So it is necessary to stop the loss in time!
the next day.
Xie Xuan just came to the company and encountered this scene. The people who directly killed him were caught off guard. They saw that the downstairs was full of reporters and media, each holding a press release, a tripod, and a video camera, and then harassed the employees who entered the company. He was driving a car Fortunately, he reacted quickly, turned around in time and prepared to enter through another door, and at the same time called Xia Yi.
"Hey, when did you come to the company, something big happened."
Xia Yi lay down on the floor in a daze to answer the phone, her brain instantly cleared up: "What are you talking about, what happened?"
"Now the public opinion is getting louder and louder. Many reporters and media are blocking random interviews downstairs in the company. I walked around through the back door. I advise you not to leave through the front door later."
"Damn, it's so serious!"
"When will you come? I alone can't figure out the situation."
At this moment, the person on the other end of the phone fell silent, Xie Xuan parked the car in the basement, and shouted a few more times: "Hello, where's the person?"
"Ah, I'm here."
"Don't tell me you haven't gone out yet, have you?"
Xia Yi smiled awkwardly, "I drank too much yesterday, and you just woke up when you called."
"I'll call you auntie." Xie Xuansheng had nothing to love.
"Okay, you go ahead first, I still have something to do now, I'll go to the company after I'm done."
"What is so important." Xie Xuan was puzzled.
"Miss Youqing told me about the matter. I have to drive Lu Ming to S University first. That's enough. I won't tell you. I'm going to get up and clean up." After opening the quilt, the person on the bed behind him spoke.
"Sister Xia Yi, go get busy with important things. I'm fine. I'll just go back to school by car."
Xia Yi turned her head and said, "How can that be possible? I promised Sister Yuqing that I will send you back to school."
"I'm really fine. It's not too far from the school. Today is also the weekend. I'm not in a hurry. I'll just take the bus later." Lu Ming insisted.
While Xia Yi was concerned about the company, Lu Ming insisted on it, so she had no choice but to give up and said, "Well, it's because you insisted not to ride in my car."
Lu Ming nodded, then scratched her head and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally drank too much yesterday and don't remember anything, and I'm causing trouble for you again, Sister Xia Yi."
"No trouble, no trouble, I can understand human nature." Xia Yi smiled.
After the two cleaned up and washed one after the other, they closed the door together and went downstairs. Just as Xia Yi was about to get in the car, she suddenly remembered one more thing. She took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Lu Ming, saying: : "You take this."
"This is..." Lu Ming was puzzled.
"Your Aunt Ji asked me to bring it to you yesterday. She said that she will cover your tuition and living expenses for the next four years. She will write it on this card for you. Hurry up and accept it. Look, she actually cares about you very much." of."
Lu Ming froze there, with mixed feelings in her heart, not a happy feeling. If she guessed right, what Aunt Ji gave her was that she would never have anything to do with her in the future. ?
"What's the matter with you, hurry up." Xia Yi is also big-hearted, of course she won't think as long as Lu Ming.
"I don't want it." Lu Ming raised her head and said firmly, "Sister Xia Yi, please take it back to Aunt Ji."
"Ah? Why?"
"Anyway, I won't ask for it." Like a stubborn little girl, Lu Ming strode away without saying a word, carrying her bag on her back.
"Ah... this..." Xia Yi looked at her back and patted her head helplessly.
I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to Sister Youqing now, it's really difficult for her.
With a sigh of relief, forget it, she should go to the company as soon as possible, otherwise it will depend on Xie Xuan alone, and what kind of mess will happen.
Put away the bank card given by Ji Youqing, and Xia Yi intends to hand it to her when we meet next time, drive on the road alone, and buy four steamed buns, a cup of soy milk, and a tea egg at the bun shop on the side of the road. This is the basic standard breakfast for Xia Yi , if she doesn't have enough to eat, she won't be able to go to work.
When I drove past the avenue in front of the company, I saw the scene Xie Xuan said, and Xia Yi felt terrified. Who are these people? What are the security guards doing?
