salt by salt

Because there are outsiders around, it is inconvenient to talk about Lu Changbai.I thought I'd stop here today and make another appointment for a detailed discussion when I have time, but Yang Ke used the excuse that it was getting late and tried his best to keep me, saying that we should at least have dinner together before leaving.

Yang Chen sat where he was, with his beautiful peach eyes twitched, he glanced at me indifferently, his thin lips slightly pursed: "I'm afraid he has something to do, just let him go."

"Brother Xu, what can you do at night? Brother Yang, you waited so long in the afternoon on purpose, and even ran back and forth for it, and left after a cup of tea and a chat. It's boring. Let's just have a meal, this family The private kitchen dishes are delicious, Brother Xu absolutely loves them."

I glanced at Yang Ke who was full of smiles, knowing that he must have been instructed by Yang Chen to do so, but the Lord sat there motionless, with a look on his face that if you want to leave, I won't force you to stay.

Life has been boring recently, and I haven't found it so interesting for a long time. I temporarily thought of playing tricks and said deliberately: "It's okay, but you, Brother Yang, don't seem very happy to have dinner with me, so let's forget it."

"Which sentence am I not happy to say? Don't always misinterpret my meaning, can you?"

The wrist was pulled by Yang Chen, and Yang Ke immediately opened the door and left with great insight, saying that he was going to order to prepare the dishes.

Leaving me and Yang Chen in the room, there seemed to be a flash of grievance on his face, and it was quickly covered by a nonchalant expression: "It's just a meal, if you want to stay, you can stay, so hurry to do it. What, I don't eat people."

I ignored that and asked him point-blank, "How's the progress on the witness side?"

Yang Chen paused, but he didn't bother with the trivial matter just now, and briefly told me about the current situation - his people have encountered some troubles, because nearly ten years have passed since this incident, even though there are several Human lives were buried in it, and the past was covered up for various reasons.

The living people were either unable to be contacted, or they took the hush money and moved away. The people sent by Yang Chen found a few files, but found that these "participants" on the record were all unfounded.

With Lu Changbai's cunning level, if the evidence in Yang Chen's hand is relatively weak, he may find a chance to come back.

"Besides, I suspect that Lu Changbai has already noticed my movements." Yang Chen rubbed his brows, "This weekend he will go to City B to discuss an Internet education project, and my dad asked me to receive it, but it shouldn't be him in the first place. Come in person."

"Lu Changbai is coming?"

I raised my eyebrows. Even his only student and assistant, Lu Jingfan, didn't know about this news. It seems that I have to re-evaluate Lu Jingfan's weight with Lu Changbai.

"It's a temporary decision, and I was notified just after the meeting." Yang Chen clicked his tongue, "I also read the things you gave, and Lu Changbai will be vigilant once documents like this involve too much core content. Get up, it’s not easy to start later. Temporarily store it here, don’t go out and say hello, wait until the right time to use it.”

Do I look like that kind of idiot... However, I have long been accustomed to his barbed way of communication, so I just slandered a few words and did not retort: ​​"Well, listen to you."

I don't know where he followed Yang Chen's hair, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he spoke in a more pleasant tone: "I'm not afraid of Lu Changbai when he comes, as long as you spend enough money and put in some effort, don't talk about these things He has indeed done it, even if he hasn’t done it, I can still find solid evidence for him. Anyway, just don’t get involved in the mess, give me some time, and everything will be arranged properly.”

"Okay." I nodded, "I believe in you."

I believe that your methods are dirty and shameless enough, and you have the ability to contend with Lu Changbai, who is sinister in heart.

"Also, Xu Junyan, stay away from Lu Jingfan, he is not a good person."

Yang Chen stared into my eyes, his tone changed from his usual jealousy and meanness, and instead he was calm: "He can even betray the person who raised him for so many years, it's hard to say whether he will bite you back in the future. Don't touch his money." , in case there is any handle left in his hands, remember to tell me in advance, don't be fooled by him. If something happens, I will settle it for you, understand?"

I didn't intend to tell others about Lu Jingfan's complicated and deformed feelings, not to mention that Yang Chen also had good intentions, so he nodded again: "It's all up to you."

He stared at me for a few seconds, then suddenly leaned over and kissed me on the lips, before I could react, he sat back to his original position, and said viciously: "It's useless to coax me, pretend to be so obedient when you want me to help, wait If I am worthless to you, I immediately turn my face and deny anyone, I have been fooled several times, so I won’t let you do it!”

Thanks to that handsome yet youthful face, Yang Chen's gritted teeth look unexpectedly cute.Maybe it was because I was too depressed during this period of time. In a moment of heat, I reached out and raised his chin, and tilted my head: "Really?"

Yang Chen was stunned for a few seconds, I didn't expect my action without thinking to be so bold, so I also froze for a while.

When the air was freezing, Yang Ke opened the door and came in, followed by the waiter to serve the dishes.I took the opportunity to withdraw my hand, and peeked at Yang Chen's performance from the corner of my eye.

Yang Chen looked at me several times in disbelief, as if he didn't know what expression to put on, and frowned slightly in a daze.He usually frowns to indicate impatience, so Yang Ke looked at his expression carefully and asked, "Brother Yang, what's wrong?"

Yang Chen came back to his senses, maybe he felt embarrassed in his heart, so he said angrily: "It's none of your business! Don't ask nonsense!"

I didn't hold back my laughter, and couldn't help coughing to cover it up. Yang Ke shrugged helplessly and made a begging gesture to me.

Time seems to go back a long time, because Yang Ke didn't do something well, Yang Chen reprimanded him sharply, he turned to me and put his hands together: Brother Xu, why do you have the heart to stand by and watch, at least say something for me, Brother Yang listens to you the most.

At that time, I thought I was like a plaything in Yang Chen's heart, and Yang Ke was making fun of me when he said that.

Now that I think about it, he didn't mean anything malicious, it was because I was too inferior that I got hurt.

I blinked my eyes and said to Yang Chen: "There is an injustice and a debtor, why are you pissing others off?"

"Not to him, could it be to you?" He glared at me, his tone a little mocking, but there was no anger in his eyes, "I dare not offend Mr. Xu, seeing you once is harder than going to heaven. I don't ask you Just be nice to me and don't make me angry all the time."

"It's pretty good, I don't have to worry about being beaten." I teased, "Please keep it up."

Yang Chen paused, his expression was a little dark, and it took a long time before he said in a low voice: "Xu Junyan, I won't move a finger of yours again, I swear."

Yang Ke observed the situation and found that the atmosphere was solidified, and immediately changed the topic with a smile: "The dishes are almost the same, Brother Xu, Brother Yang, I dare not eat without chopsticks."

I curled the corner of my mouth: "I'm hungry too, let's eat first."

After dinner, Yang Chen insisted on driving me off.He has been in a low mood since just now, and now, as if playing a temper, he stubbornly asked to send me back.

I supported my forehead and said, "If I want to go back to Songcheng, will you send me too?"

His expression froze: "Didn't you move back?"

"Can you stop asking someone to keep an eye on my itinerary?" I helped my forehead helplessly, and resigned myself to my fate, "Forget it, it's useless to talk to you."

"I just want to know about your situation." Yang Chen's voice was muffled, "Except for business matters, you didn't tell me anything."

The heating in the car is too high, making people drowsy, and my eyelids are almost glued together: "I have been taking care of Andre recently, so I have nothing to say."

Yang Chen knows my itinerary like the back of his hand, so it's impossible not to know about Andre's condition.Sure enough, he was quiet for a while, and then said: "The world is impermanent. I know a few friends who are in the medical-related industry. If you need help, just ask. I really have a problem with Andre, but I don't want to see you working too hard." .”

The car passed by the street light at a high speed, and I caught a glimpse of his profile, which turned from dark to bright, and back to dark again.

I said softly, "Thank you."

Driving silently all the way, Yang Chen drove so smoothly that I actually fell asleep in the car for a moment.When he woke up, the car had already driven into the community.

Yang Chen parked the car downstairs, he supported the steering wheel with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to straighten the scarf for me: "Are you going back to Xu's house for Chinese New Year?"

I just woke up and shook my head to wake myself up.Hearing what he said, he couldn't help but smiled wearily: "I'm back now, so I have to go through a formality."

"You seem to be very tired." Yang Chen's finger touched my cheek along the collar, and touched it lightly, "It seems that life around Song Cheng is not so good. But I don't understand, since you want to take revenge on him , why are you still making false claims with him now?"

I leaned on the back of the car seat, closed my eyes and rested for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "Some things can't be done by others, I have to do it myself."

"Like you used to treat me?"

I opened my eyes, Yang Chen's pupils were pure black, like a pure black swamp filled with suppressed emotions.

He pretended to be indifferent and pulled out a smile, but the corner of his mouth curved into a bitter arc: "I lost it completely when I thought everything was still possible. I remember this deeply, because I have never been in such pain."

This past is our common scar, Yang Chen suddenly opened this wound, revealing the blood dripping inside.

"I don't want to condemn anything. After all, I made mistakes back then... I just don't understand you. While begging me for help, saying that he would bring down Song Cheng and the people behind him who supported him, he accepted Mingde, Keep messing with him."

Yang Chen's hand holding the steering wheel was showing veins, but his tone was restrained and calm: "Xu Junyan, you are both sides, and you are proud of yourself, but what about me? Seeing you sneaking around like an affair, don't I feel bad? I beg you, for the sake of working so hard for you during this period of time, let me understand in my heart."

I let out a long sigh.

"What do you want to ask?"

Before he could speak, a low-key black car slowly parked behind his car. The license plate was a series of serial numbers that I was familiar with.

Yang Chen obviously also saw the car, he pointed to the rearview mirror, and laughed at himself: "It's good, the real card is here to catch the adulterer, it's so fucking feng shui."

The door of the car behind opened, and a man in a black coat got out of the car and walked towards this side.He was tall, with a straight back, like a green pine under the cold street lights, and he was a model with tall legs and long legs.

Song Cheng leaned over and knocked on the car window on my side. I was about to open the door, but Yang Chen held down my hand.

"I only care about one thing." He took a deep breath and looked straight at me, "Xu Junyan, for you, is it not him or me?"

Here it is again, this kind of multiple-choice question that seems to be qualified to make a decision, you write the options aloft, and I can only be bound by it.

"Of course." I said softly, "It's either him or you."

Yang Chen, if you really believe it, why ask this question.

This promise became a placebo. He thought he had reached an agreement with me, a childish smile appeared on his face, he raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and pinched my face again: "Okay, I'm sorry for you. Today, as a 'little three', I can bear it."

Yang Chen let go of the car door, I thought he was just letting me out of the car, but unexpectedly he got out with me.Song Cheng was standing outside, he put my hand in his own to warm, his expression was gentle and calm, no emotion could be seen: "Why did it take so long to say goodbye in the car? My hands are so cold, and I don't remember to wear extra clothes when I go out." pieces."

He lowered his eyes, as if he had just seen Yang Chen, and said politely with a bit of coldness: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for driving Junyan back. You can go back. I will get someone to give you the reward."

Hearing this was really harsh, so I pulled Song Cheng's hand to avoid trouble, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Obviously, since I moved out to take care of Andre, Song Cheng and I have entered into a cold war period. If he doesn't take the initiative to contact me, I'm happy and relaxed.After a long time like this, people will relax their vigilance, otherwise I would never dare to let Yang Chen take me home in normal times.

"I want to meet you and talk about your younger brother." Song Cheng squeezed my hand slightly, "Okay, Junyan, let Mr. Yang go first, and we will talk about our business when we get home."

"Mr. Song is here for the first time. I have been here more times than you. I am familiar with this route. I am not afraid of going the wrong way, and I am not in a hurry to go back."

What an arrogant character Yang Chen is, he always takes revenge, how can he bear this kind of ridicule, let alone confronting Song Cheng.He raised his beautifully shaped jaw and said provocatively: "The visitor is a guest, Xu Junyan, why don't you invite me to sit up?"
