Will you return the money?

On this side, Jun Xiaoshao punched Xin Taofu, and on the other side, the driver Xiao Zhao stepped forward and kicked Jun Xiaoshao in the abdomen.Jun Xiaoshao was kicked unexpectedly, and fell backwards with an "Aiyo", and several followers rushed up immediately, supporting Jun Xiaoshao while looking at Xin Taofu.

Logically speaking, they should also rush up to beat Xin Taofu, but Si Yanxia is here!They were not Jun Xiaoshao, they never dared to challenge Si Yanxia, ​​let alone push Si Yanxia, ​​so they were very embarrassed.

Jun Xiaoshao yelled "Ai yo" and "Ai yo" from the pain.

Xin Taofu said: "As you can see, he did it first. My driver wanted to protect me. If you have any problems, you can call the police and sue me. But if you want to call the police, I can also call the police and tell you that my friend was arrested." Come to use lynching. But everyone can't please, why don't we just stop here today."

If Jun Xiaoshao was more sober, he would definitely jump up and scold his mother, and refuse to agree, but he was really knocked out by Lianjiazi Xiao Zhao, and his mind was so dizzy that he didn't even have time to think.

Si Yanxia simply said: "Shouldn't you send Jun Xiaoshao to the hospital for an examination first?"

Xin Taofu laughed again and said, "Give it up, I will pay for the medical expenses."

Those followers couldn't come up with any ideas, so they could only listen to Si Yanxia and send Young Master Jun to see a doctor first.

Xin Taofu left with Xiao Zhao, and asked Xiao Zhao in a low voice, "Are you sure you didn't get hurt?"

Xiao Zhao said: "There must be no injuries, I didn't kick any bones."

"En." Xin Taofu gave a thumbs up.

This is the reason why he takes Xiao Zhao with him wherever he goes. Xiao Zhao is extremely professional in fighting.

But Si Yanxia caught up and said, "Do you think you owe me another favor this time?"

Xin Taofu smiled: "Young Master Jun attacked me just now, you shrank like a tortoise, so don't be a hero."

Si Yanxia was exposed, but he was not ashamed, he just said: "If it weren't for me, even if your driver is a boxing champion, he would be no match for two fists, and it would be difficult for you to get out of this time."

Xin Taofu said: "Who knows? I didn't ask you to help me. If you want me to accept your love, it is impossible. If you feel that you are at a loss, you can leave immediately without helping me. This matter I can do it myself."

Xin Taofu didn't mean to be too condescending, and Si Yanxia could see that Xin Taofu was capable of this, so he touched his nose and said with a smile: "It's my honor to give you voluntary labor." After finishing speaking, Si Yanxia Yanxia didn't mention the matter of owed favors, but still helped to send Jun Xiaoshao to the hospital, and calmed down the matter by the way.

-

The decoration of the coffee shop is Mediterranean style, typical blue and white, the light white latex paint paints irregular texture on the wall, and the white rectangular bar can be seen through the arched door, where the barista finished The coffee was made and brought to the dark blue wooden dining table with a friendly smile.

"Two please use." The barista said.

"Thank you." Xin Taofu nodded.

"Thank you." Tao Huan'er also nodded and smiled at the barista.

Tao Huan'er didn't look as embarrassed as she was in Jun Xiaoshao's box. She reapplied her makeup and combed her hair neatly again. The mahogany hairpin was inserted obliquely in the cloud temples, which made her look like spring even more.

From which point of view, she should have had a good life all these years, definitely much better than being Xin Siluo's wife.

There was hesitation and timidity in her eyes, and she couldn't help scanning Xin Taofu's face.She hadn't seen Xin Taofu for too many years. To be honest, if Jun Xiaoshao hadn't called "Xin Taofu" just now, she might not have been able to recognize that he was her own son in the panic and confusion.

But if she calmed down and took a closer look like this, she would know that this was the child from back then.

If only their reunion hadn't been under such circumstances...

Tao Huan'er originally didn't feel guilty about her wandering lifestyle, and even felt that she was quite free and enjoying it, but it was another matter if something like this happened and it fell into the eyes of her long-lost son.Her sense of shame suddenly exploded, and her head was buzzing, and she couldn't speak.

But she couldn't expect the child to speak first, so after stirring the coffee three times, she smiled and said happily, "You have grown up."

The first sentence that popped out of Xin Taofu's mind was "It's been ten years, can I not grow up, I'm not Conan", but he looked up and saw Tao Huaner's eyes full of flattery, temptation, shame and joy. After mixed emotions, he pursed his lips.He seemed to have no choice but to smile politely and said, "Well, I think you've had a good few years."

These words are also "the speaker has no intention, but the listener intends", Tao Huan'er thought that Xin Taofu was mocking her for being romantic and causing trouble.She lowered her head in embarrassment, and said after a while, "I... I really didn't know that person was with Jun Xiaoshao..."

Tao Huaner naturally didn't know that the male companion Tao Huaner was looking for was on two boats.After Jun Xiaoshao found out, he angered her, which was actually a disaster for her.

When Xin Taofu saw Tao Huan'er's embarrassment, she realized that what she just said had been misinterpreted.He then said, "It's nothing." He wanted to say "to be happy in life is to be happy", but suddenly felt that this should not be what he should say to Tao Huan'er.

Tao Huaner took a look at Xin Taofu's expression, and knew that he really didn't seem to care. This calmness reminded Tao Huaner that just now Jun Xiaoshao called Xin Taofu "the rabbit who sees Qian P's eyes", and he didn't realize it sink.But she couldn't put up her mother's posture to press the question, so she had to carefully test: "I was almost scared to death by Jun Xiaoshao just now. Who here in Chang'an Prefecture is not afraid of people with the four surnames Yin Xiangsijun? Not at all." Come to think of it, you are not afraid."

Xin Taofu heard Tao Huaner's intention of probing, and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. I am mainly developing abroad now, that is, I will come back for a few days and then leave. I don't need to look at their faces."

"Are you abroad?" Tao Huan'er paused for a moment, with a look of disappointment on her face, "No wonder I haven't been able to find any news about you..." As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears again, "I have been in Chang'an for the past few years. I have been looking for your whereabouts in the state, but there is no news at all... You don't know how worried I am..." She sobbed again.

Seeing her like this, Xin Taofu took out a tissue and handed it in front of her, but she couldn't say words of comfort, she could only be silent, and this "silence" also showed a bit of "indifference".

Tao Huan'er took the tissue, thanked her while weeping, and then asked Xin Taofu how she was doing.

This is actually a very natural thing, but Xin Taofu feels unnatural.

He seemed unable to calmly share everything he had experienced with Tao Huan'er.He just said a few words briefly, then asked the waiter to pay the bill, and said to Tao Huan'er, "I'll ask the driver to take you home."

Seeing Xin Taofu treating her as a stranger, Tao Huaner naturally felt uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to complain, so she could only force a smile, and said, "Then shall I leave you a phone number first?"

Xin Taofu did not refuse, exchanged contact information with Tao Huan'er, and asked the driver Xiao Zhao to take Tao Huan'er home.

He paced the street alone, and there was a bleak silence in his heart.

But by coincidence, while he was walking, he received a call from Li Duyun.

Li Duyun said, "Are you free now?"

Xin Taofu felt completely empty, so she naturally replied, "I'm quite free."

So, Xin Taofu went back to the coffee shop just now, waiting for Li Duyun to come to see him.

Li Duyun was wearing a long windbreaker and a light blue scarf around his neck, looking very suave.After sitting down, he put down the scarf, revealing his slender neck, which was really beautiful and elegant.

Xin Taofu appreciates Li Duyun's appearance, and sometimes thinks: He is such a good person...

Li Duyun ordered a cup of hot milk.

Xin Taofu smiled and said, "Why do you drink milk in the middle of the night?"

Li Duyun said: "Drinking coffee in the middle of the night? I don't drive OT."

Xin Taofu nodded, and asked with a smile, "Why are you looking for me all of a sudden?"

Li Duyun answered him: "There is news that I think you might be interested in, so I'll tell you about it."

Xin Taofu was a little puzzled: "What news?"

Li Duyun said, "Xiangyixi is dead."

"!" Xin Taofu was shocked, speechless for a while.

Li Duyun looked at Xin Taofu and asked, "Aren't you interested?"

Xin Taofu was dumb for a while, and then said: "This...it's hard to say. Even though I hate him, I don't expect him to die."

Li Duyun nodded: "I didn't mean that."

Xin Taofu shrugged, sighed, and said, "It's true...but, why are good people gone?"

Li Duyun replied: "It seems to be because of drug abuse."

"Ah? He actually..." Xin Taofu was quite surprised, but thinking that Xiang Yixi was arrested for drug smuggling back then, and now died of drug abuse, there seems to be a trace.

Li Duyun said slowly: "In fact, he has only been released from prison not long ago, but this incident has hit him too hard, causing him to be devastated."

Xin Taofu also heard about Xiangyixi's imprisonment.Xin Taofu thought about it for a while, and only said: "That's not the case, is it? I remember that he only lost the inheritance right of Danling blessed land, as for the other property he had already acquired, he was not confiscated. It stands to reason that he should be able to live well It is."

Mrs. Xiang's inheritance is of course Danling Fudi, but other miscellaneous real estate, real estate, jewelry and artwork are also of great value.Xiang Yixi didn't have Danling Blessed Land in the past, and he was able to live well with these "floating wealth", which was enough to support his appearance and posture as a "Master Xiang", so that he would not fall behind in front of other aristocratic families.

Speaking of which, this is quite enviable.

Even if he has been in prison, he is still a diamond king and five after he gets out of prison.

Li Duyun said: "After he was released from prison, he found that he was expelled from the Xiang family, and the Xiang family refused to recognize him. Originally, he was an illegitimate child. It was not for Mrs. Xiang's protection, so he could not recognize his ancestors. Now After this incident, it is even more impossible for the Xiang family to recognize him. Yin Shuye ignored him. Since then, he has been rejected by Yin Xiangsijun's circle."

"If you reject it, then reject it. I still have a lot of banknotes in my hand." Xin Taofu said, "Didn't he live abroad for many years before? Wouldn't it be nice to go back to live abroad now? No one knows him there. .He is so rich and still young, he doesn't worry about not having a good life."

Li Duyun ticked the corner of his mouth and said, "If he can think so openly, he won't be Xiangyixi."

Xin Taofu also felt reasonable after hearing the words.This Xianggongzi is completely of the type who wants to save face and suffer. He is not tired every day, and he is dedicated to maintaining his perfect image and good reputation.Now that the character setting is broken, the one who hurts the most is himself.He couldn't get past the barrier in his heart at all.

Not to mention his amazing paranoia.Ordinary people, who would be paranoid to such an extent, to do such a despicable thing in order to punish Xin Taofu?

One look at this person's psychology is very problematic.

"So he took drugs?" Xin Taofu paused, "And he sucked himself to death?"

Li Duyun frowned, and said: "I don't know the details, after all, I haven't paid attention to him all the time. I didn't hear about it until he died. The police found that he died of drug abuse in his apartment. Now Preliminary investigations, indeed, found that he had been addicted to drugs for several months. Basically, he became addicted not long after he got out of prison."

Xin Taofu felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

With Xiangyixi's fate like this, people really don't know how to judge.

Xin Taofu didn't feel happy or sad, just feeling emotional.Xiangyixi was already a very distant name to him.

Perhaps in some days in the past, this name was a thorn in his heart and a nail in his eye.But he didn't know when he had forgotten such a person.

He shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It's interesting that you came here to report my funeral? Who do you really think of me? Do you think I will be happy to hear such news? Although my character is not very good, but It's not even here!"

Li Duyun said, "That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Xin Taofu asked.

Li Duyun said: "I thought you were so smart that you would understand. I was just looking for an excuse to meet you."

Xin Taofu was taken aback when he heard Li Duyun's words, and then felt awkward again, not knowing what to say.

Li Duyun spoke for him: "I think, if I don't come to you, you may never see me."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Xin Taofu's mouth, unable to deny Li Duyun's words.

Li Duyun said, "It's your turn."

"What?" Xin Taofu blinked.

Li Duyun said: "I told you a news, you should also tell me a news, has anything new happened to you recently?"

Mentioning this, Xin Taofu's tongue felt bitter again, and after a while he said, "I just had a cup of coffee with my mother here."

Li Duyun was silent for half a second, and said, "I don't know what to say."

Xin Taofu smiled: "There are times when you don't know what to say?"

"Because I always thought your mother was dead." Li Duyun said.

"..."

Li Duyun said again: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not cursing anyone."

"I know……"

Xin Taofu seldom told Li Duyun about himself, and never mentioned about his mother.Li Duyun only knew that Xin Taofu's family was unfortunate, with only a helpless father and a sick grandmother.For some reason, he subconsciously thought that Xin Taofu's mother had passed away.

Xin Taofu smiled and said, "Actually, it's similar. When I was 12 years old, she left for some unavoidable reasons. My feelings for her are complicated."

Li Duyun nodded, but said nothing.

He has always been reticent, and Xin Taofu is used to it.

It was only after a while that Li Duyun asked: "Then do you plan to get back together with her?"

Xin Taofu froze for a moment, then said confusedly: "Me? I don't know."

Li Duyun said: "I always feel that you are wandering and unstable in your heart. Maybe you need someone who loves you very much to accompany you and give you the feeling of family. Only then can you truly feel stable and happy."

This is exactly what I said.

After all, Xin Taofu longed for that kind of family warmth in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have done the stupid thing of "charging his father with krypton gold".But now?

Xin Taofu smiled wryly, "You mean, do I need my mother?"

"Not necessarily." Li Duyun said, "You just need the company of someone who really cares about you. That person can be your mother or me."

The mellow aroma of coffee wafted in the air. On a quiet night, Xin Taofu, who had experienced confusion and sadness, looked at Li Duyun and felt inexplicably warm.

He even said in a trance: "You mean, can we give it a try?"

After saying this, Xin Taofu immediately regretted it.

He didn't know why he said this sentence by accident.

However, in such a wavering mood, he feebly grasped forward again—just in time to catch Li Duyun's gaze.

Li Duyun's eyebrows and eyes were still calm, and he looked at Xin Taofu without any joy.He just said, "No, don't try. If it's to fill a void, it's not necessary—I'm the same in front of your friend as I am now."

These words were like cold water pouring over Xin Taofu's mind.

Xin Taofu felt awkward and embarrassing all at once, and hurriedly said, "I... didn't mean that..."

"You are." Li Duyun said decisively, "But it's okay, I won't blame you."

This meeting with Li Duyun was regarded as an unhappy ending - anyway, from Xin Taofu's point of view, it was so, but Li Duyun still seemed neither happy nor sad, neither sullen nor angry.

Xin Taofu returned to the hotel alone, but there were not many people in the brightly lit lobby, only the service staff were dedicated to their posts.He suddenly didn't want to go back to that cold, empty luxury suite.

Today, he particularly dislikes cold and deserted places.

He sat down on the sofa in the hall, leaned his head on the back of the sofa, and looked up at the bright crystal lamp.

Everything today made him very tired, and under the attack of a strong sense of powerlessness, he slowly closed his eyes.When he was half asleep and half awake, he only felt that someone was approaching him, and something soft was gently placed on his body, bringing a burst of warmth.He immediately opened his eyes and saw a cashmere blanket covering his body. He raised his head suddenly, but saw that it was the waiter of the hotel.The waiter turned around and left after covering the blanket.

For some reason, a flash of disappointment flashed in his heart, and he didn't know what the disappointment was.

He shook his head, intending to tear off the cashmere blanket and return it to the waiter, but when the blanket brushed against his cheeks, a familiar aroma entered his nostrils—it was the smell of Yin Shuye's cologne.

He suddenly gathered the blanket tightly in his hand, there was still breath and temperature on it...

If it was normal, Xin Taofu might not do this, but today's mood is always a little different.

He picked up his mobile phone, dialed Yin Shuye's number, and asked, "Is the blanket yours?"

Yin Shuye didn't expect him to be so straight to the point, and he didn't hide it, so he said, "Yes."

"You are so perverted." Xin Taofu said, "You haven't been following me, have you?"

"..." Yin Shuye was silent for a while, then Fang said, "You may not believe me, I just passed by."

Xin Taofu really didn't believe it, but he didn't want to care about it now, he just smiled and said: "Then you are quite interesting, and you asked the waiter to cover me with a quilt when you passed by."

But Yin Shuye said: "I would like to cover it for you myself, but didn't you say that you don't want to see me?"

Xin Taofu was taken aback.

He did say so.

That night they talked for the first time after a three-year absence. Yin Shuye rarely said bluntly "I want to see you", but Xin Taofu said coldly "I don't want to".Yin Shuye replied calmly, "Then I won't see you for now."

Xin Taofu's words were meant to be a bit high-spirited, but Yin Shuye took it seriously and obeyed the rules.

It's just that "honest" is a bit funny to describe Yin Shuye.

Xin Taofu felt more and more absurd about tonight's content, and the words she said to Li Duyun today flashed through her mind again, and she unexpectedly asked: "If——I mean 'if', if——if I tell you, we You can give it a try... just to give it a try, there is no guarantee, I don't really like you, I just want to find someone to accompany you, what do you say?"

Yin Shuye replied: "I said, can you remove the 'if'."

Xin Taofu was taken aback, suddenly felt a little relaxed, and even thought it was funny, and said: "That's definitely not possible. I'm just kidding you."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and went back to his room for a good night's sleep.
