Dong Yibai said: "Who do you not know?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not friendly, Meng Miaochang raised her eyebrows and said, "You can settle your own affairs, I'll go first."

Dong Yibai watched her walk for a while, Meng Miaochang just left, Xu Zhiyuan said: "I have nothing to do, I will go first."

"Aren't you going to catch up with me, Young Master Xu?" Dong Yibai said with a gloomy face, straightening his neckline, "We are acquaintances at least... we are acquaintances."

"..."

This reunion was not very pleasant in Xu Zhiyuan's eyes, because he couldn't leave his body for stalking, he took a cigarette in his mouth and said, "You can just tell me what you want, I don't have time."

Dong Yibai said: "I heard that Yu Yao was executed four years ago."

Xu Zhiyuan slid his finger and tilted the ignition, the lighter just made a "click" and did not light the cigarette.Xu Zhiyuan's gaze seemed to be sharpening a knife by taking the opportunity, and he cast his eyes on Dong Yibai viciously. He looked around and said, "...Come here."

They found a quiet place, Xu Zhiyuan lit the cigarette and smoked half of it.

Dong Yibai mocked: "Aren't you free?"

Xu Zhiyuan said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, finish quickly."

"I'm just 'catching up' with you, nothing important." Dong Yibai leaned his back against the wall, "The one beside you just now is the daughter of the Meng family, right? Your wife?"

"Yes."

Dong Yibai sneered: "You don't like men anymore?"

"I don't need you to talk too much about my likes and dislikes," Xu Zhiyuan said, "If that's all you want to talk about, then I'm sorry."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Dong Yibai suddenly left the wall, grabbed his collar and pushed him forward, saying, "Why did Yu Yao die?"

Xu Zhiyuan remained silent, looking at him casually.

"I ask you," Xu Zhiyuan's indifference fueled his anger, and he repeated word by word, "Why did Yu Yao die?"

Xu Zhiyuan's feelings for Dong Yibai are very complicated.If we only talk about the two of them, Xu Zhiyuan would not hold Liang Zi in the past so long, not to mention that Dong Yibai is not bad in his bones, he is just a young master spoiled by willfulness and arrogance like he used to be.

However, in society, it is impossible for him to "single theory".

Four years ago, Yu Yao had an accident, all due to his father Dong Jianshu's "fueling the flames", and Dong Yibai's wrong report also had a little psychological impact on Xu Zhiyuan, making it difficult for Xu Zhiyuan to completely let go of his grudge against him.

Xu Zhiyuan looked at the ceiling, took the cigarette out of his mouth, exhaled slowly, looked at him and said, "None of your business."

Dong Yibai was so choked by the smell of smoke that he turned his head away, and he used even more force in his hands, but his physique was still weaker than Xu Zhiyuan's after all, and he hadn't improved much over the years, so it was easy for Xu Zhiyuan to break free.

Dong Yibai clenched his fists, snorted contemptuously, and said mockingly: "Do you still think Yu Yao's death is just what you want? It's delaying your Young Master Xu's climbing the branches of Meng's family, right?"

Xu Zhiyuan didn't argue with him, he put out the cigarette butt in his mouth on the trash can at hand, and left.

"Xu Zhiyuan!"

Dong Yibai watched him go away angrily, and for a moment seemed to see a small scar on his back collar.But Xu Zhiyuan straightened his neckline and it was covered, it was like an illusion for a moment.

……

Xu Zhiyuan returned to the hall and found Meng Miaochang among the crowd.

The two of them stood together with four big words "talented and beautiful", which attracted the compliments from the ladies and wives who talked with Meng Miaochang. Xu Zhiyuan put on a smiling face and said a few polite words, and when they left, he asked Meng Miaochang, "Which one is the next?"

"Including the two wives who passed by just now, seventeen people have gone over to get wine." Meng Miaochang said, observing the guests nearby, and said, "Who was the person who was looking for you just now? Is your date good?"

Xu Zhiyuan: "?"

He said: "Are you kidding me, my former enemies are pretty much the same."

"I'm not joking." Meng Miaochang lifted a glass of champagne from the table and said seriously, "He looks at you as if...he hates you for breaking his heart."

Xu Zhiyuan was glad that he didn't have anything to drink in his mouth, otherwise he could have given her a show and spit it out on the spot.He couldn't help changing the subject, and said, "I'm curious, what kind of monster and monster am I in your eyes?"

Meng Miaochang said: "I used to think that you were a flirtatious vase, but now it seems that you are unexpectedly innocent, tsk."

The "tsk" that Meng Miao often uttered in a cold and flat voice was the "finishing touch", which made Xu Zhiyuan fall into a deep silence in his soul: "..."

If the person next to him is Fu Shubai, he's probably already on his way.

Xu Zhiyuan also fetched a glass of wine, took a sip, and retorted: "What's wrong with Chunqing, didn't you die in love when you eloped and were caught by your father? I thought you were already extraordinary, and looked down upon the world of mortals."

"How is it possible. It is a great blessing in the world that someone can send lovesickness and love. I want to live longer with all my emotions and desires." However, Xu Zhiyuan's irony had no effect on Meng Miaochang. On the wine rack, he handed half a glass of wine to Xu Zhiyuan, his long eyelashes drooped, and he said calmly, "Here, I respect Chunqing, Chunqing is cute."

"..." Xu Zhiyuan couldn't get past this word today, so he glanced at her, picked up the wine in his hand, and clinked glasses with her.

The glass collided lightly, and there was a clear sound in agreement.

Meng Miaochang kept her eyes on the northwest, and said after touching, "No. 18."

Xu Zhiyuan also saw it, he suddenly asked Meng Miaochang, "Do you drink well?"

From the moment he entered the door, there was no full glass of red wine warmed in Meng Miaochang's hands. Xu Zhiyuan caught a glimpse of a pile of empty glasses on the table and felt like asking for nothing.But Meng Miaochang drank what was in her hand, and said cooperatively: "Understood, I will pretend to be drunk to cover you from leaving later."

Xu Zhiyuan said "thank you", looked northwest and saw a business acquaintance, pretending to say hello and walking over.

They yelled "Mr. Xu" one after another, and asked about Meng Che and Xu Zhenping's recent situation from time to time.The Xu family and the Meng family are the "two weapons" of Wuzhou and Huai City respectively, and Xu Zhiyuan is the only son and darling of the two families. It is conceivable that he has become popular in the business and political circles in recent years, and he has made great achievements in the past few years. You have to be afraid of him for three points.

Dong Jianshu originally intended to join forces with the Meng family to oppose Xu Zhenping, but he underestimated the friendship between Meng Che and Xu Zhenping's colleagues, and did not guess Meng Che's unpredictable temperament. became his greatest threat.

In the past, Dong Jianshu, in order to show his sincerity in joining forces with Meng Che, murdered Sishan and blamed Xu's family, creating a smooth and comfortable road for Meng Che in Huai City. Who would have thought that Meng Che would take the initiative to clear Xu Zhenping of his crimes, and still Raise Xu Zhiyuan as his own son-in-law.These "contributions" made by myself turned out to be wedding dresses for others, and Dong Jianshu was so angry that his internal organs were buried on fire, and he fell ill from time to time.

However, the credit was ruined, and his "hard work" was not let down after all. The Dong family and the Meng family maintained a very close relationship.But with Xu Zhiyuan there, this intimacy always made Dong Jianshu feel embarrassed.

But Meng Che is an unpredictable person, even Dong Jianshu can't figure out what this person is doing all this for, and he doesn't believe that Xu Zhiyuan can figure it out.

Dong Jianshu was not wrong about this point——Xu Zhiyuan really didn't know what Meng Che was thinking in his heart. He always felt that his current position was in jeopardy. He thought he was very strong, but Meng Che suddenly pulled a brick Go, the whole tall building under his feet collapsed.

Although Xu Zhiyuan hated Xu Zhenping in his heart, he had to admit his father's keen sense of smell and long-term vision. Perhaps because he understood Meng Che's temperament, Xu Zhenping had already built many guarantees for him in advance - such as the relationship with Meng Miaochang. marriage.He now realizes that it's not just about "correcting" his sexuality.

When Xu Zhiyuan thought of his father, the old wound on his back began to ache. He couldn't help but think back to four years ago, when Xu Zhenping almost put him to death in prison. He knew that it was a wish and a wish. I have no choice but to suffer.Then... Xu Zhenping said that Yu Yao, who said that he would solve the "rebellion" with his own hands, was also a bit soft-hearted and pretending.

Xu Zhiyuan had no way of knowing, and he hadn't visited his parents in Wuzhou District for a long time.

While his mind was racing, he listened to the guests chatting, and suddenly saw a man of medium build with a string of Buddhist beads approaching the northwest, chatting and laughing with his friends, happened to pass by the champagne table, and he put it down After emptying the glass, his hand reached for the wine glass on the table.

Xu Zhiyuan stared at him closely, and silently wrote down the number in his heart: "No. 19 people."

But at this moment, a passing waiter stumbled and hit the table with his body, and the wine glass also shook.

Thankfully the glass was not broken, and the waiter who hit the guest was wearing a mask—all the wine deliverers here are wearing masks— bowed and apologized to the person, and dutifully took a glass of wine from the table, respectfully Pass it to him.

The guest also showed embarrassment and said it was all right.The waiter walked away with the wine tray, and the guests stood where they were, looking around indistinctly.

Xu Zhiyuan frowned.

Unexpectedly, there was a problem with the handover of the code, and the No. 19 drinkers unexpectedly became "two", the guest or the waiter.

According to the clues provided by the informant, the person who picked up the wine should be a guest at the banquet, and seeing the man's expression after failing to pick up the wine, Xu Zhiyuan guessed that he should be the original No.19 person.

That waiter who was passing by was probably just an accident.It was not easy for Xu Zhiyuan to find that figure in the crowd, but for some reason, his heart skipped a beat.

And Meng Miaochang's sudden pat on the shoulder made Xu Zhiyuan's vigilance rise again.She asked, "That waiter, did you see that?"

Xu Zhiyuan's eyes followed him closely all the time, and he responded softly: "I see."

Sure enough, Meng Miaochang said: "He may have a problem. When you were out chatting with your friend just now, he came to pick up drinks four times by himself, and now he bumped into No.19. And do you think that the waiter... "

Xu Zhiyuan's pupils shrank, and the motivation of this waiter was ringing in his heart. He immediately lowered his voice and said to Meng Miaochang, "You chat with the customer for a while, and I will follow that waiter."

"...Are you a little familiar?" Meng Miaochang finished the last sentence, looked at the guest with unnatural hands and feet, and said again, "You pay attention to safety, if there is really a problem with the waiter, it means that the connection has been exposed this time."

Xu Zhiyuan nodded, his expression turned cold, and there was a trace of hunting intent in his eyes, he staggered away from the crowd, and quietly followed the waiter.

For some reason, the closer he followed, the faster his heart beat, as if there was a remnant seed under the flesh and blood, sensing the breath of nectar, and it was ready to germinate.

And at the beating place of Xu Zhiyuan's left chest, there was an ice-cold gun.

Finally, I don’t know if the waiter sensed the stalking, or was a little anxious, entrusted the wine tray to a colleague, and walked out of the auditorium alone—there is a tavern outside the auditorium, and the workers usually go there to relieve their hands and clean up. Because the toilet in the auditorium is on the second floor, it is a place where only guests and designated service personnel can set foot.

Because it was night, the darkness covered a short section of the road between the tavern and the auditorium, Xu Zhiyuan held a cigarette in his mouth in order to suppress the inexplicably crazy heartbeat.He quickly followed up, and at a blind spot in the light, he took out a gun from the inner pocket of his chest and pointed it at the back of the waiter's head.

The footsteps of the waiter stopped abruptly.

Only the light spots of smoke were weakly lit, Xu Zhiyuan said in a low voice, "Hold your hands behind your back, hurry up."

Following his words, the waiter put his left hand behind his back, but raised his right hand, Xu Zhiyuan pushed the muzzle of the gun forward as a warning, and said coldly, "What's wrong."

But the waiter didn't make a sound, and pulled something from his neck with his raised right hand, and handed it back to Xu Zhiyuan.Xu Zhiyuan took the opportunity to grab his two hands behind his back, and he was dragged to the bottom of the wall.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Zhiyuan groped the waiter's whole body, and took a calm puff of cigarette after finding out that there was nothing dangerous.He glanced at the things in his hands and was stunned.

What the waiter took off from the neck was a silver Buddha wearing a red string.

Xu Zhiyuan seemed to have been poured a pot of hot water on his head, his whole body became hot, and the seed that was beating in his heart just now burst out of the ground in an instant.

He opened his mouth and took off the waiter's mask, and the person who was close at hand finally made a sound—as if holding back a laugh, he said in a gentle voice, "Grow taller and become smarter."

Because of the darkness, when he tried to see Yu Yao's face clearly, it was as if he was searching for a way out in a dream, which was not real at all. It was not until Yu Yao made a sound that he suddenly woke up and called out: "Yaoer?"

Xu Zhiyuan's first reaction was not an outburst of emotion, but subconsciously spit out the cigarette and stomped it out, like a child who secretly did something bad and was caught by his parents on the spot-although covering it up was useless.

Xu Zhiyuan was still at a loss, staring at the face of the person in front of him without blinking, opened his mouth and said, "I didn't smoke, I just held it in my mouth..."

He felt the weight in his hand, put away the gun in a panic, and said, "Take...take it out for self-defense."

Yu Yao watched him finish explaining, and said, "Is it gone?"

Xu Zhiyuan lowered his head, his voice sounded a little wronged: "Mmm..."

With the rustling of clothes, Yu Yao hugged him tightly in the darkness without saying a word.

He didn't need to speak, the trembling bodies and hearts clinging to each other spoke for them.

Four years and nights disguised the reunion like a dream, Xu Zhiyuan was stunned, not knowing why he couldn't see things clearly, until a drop of clear crystal fell on the corner of his mouth.
