What is it that even Fang Yunwan can't know?

In front of An An, Fang Yunwan didn't say much, and quickly pressed the pause button.With his normal expression, he looked through a few more files and finally found the blessing video recorded by An An's mother.

In the video, An An's mother leaned against the head of the bed with her big belly, her face was pale and haggard, and she spoke a short paragraph with difficulty.

It seems that she may have known that she might not be able to give birth smoothly. During her pregnancy, she began to record videos for An An, hoping that if an accident happened, she would not be completely absent from An An's growth.

An An watched the video twice and ate a piece of birthday cake, and couldn't sit still anymore. She jumped off the dining chair and went to the living room to unwrap presents.

Only Jiang Xiu and Fang Yunwan were left at the dining table.Fang Yunwan glanced at Jiang Xiu, turned on Bai Ming's computer again, and found the video of Jiang Xiu and Bai Ming's dispute.This time without An An present, he watched the video completely. It turned out that after Jiang Xiu threw that punch, Bai Ming counterattacked without hesitation. The two wrestled and moved out of the camera, leaving only Not far away is a building decorated with silver and white light strips.

Although no sound was recorded in the video, the faces of Jiang Xiu and Bai Ming were very clear on the screen. Fang Yunwan carefully watched the video several times, and even saw clearly the recording time of the video.

March 3 last year.

From Bai Ming's colleagues and An An's kindergarten teacher, Fang Yunwan heard about this date more than once—March 3 last year was the day when Bai Ming lost contact with everyone. After an unpleasant communication meeting with Yang Real Estate, he asked the colleagues who went with him to leave first, and no one saw him again after that.

Two days later, the police found Bai Ming's neatly placed briefcase on the reef of Yucheng Emerald Bay.

A few days later, Bai Ming's leather shoes and broken clothes were swept to the beach by the waves. Since then, although his body has not been salvaged, it is almost certain that Bai Ming has been buried at the bottom of the sea.

Before, everyone thought that Bai Ming would commit suicide by jumping into the sea because of relapse of depression, and the unpleasant meeting with Zhaoyang Real Estate that day was the trigger.The colleagues who attended the meeting with Bai Ming that day were very guilty, thinking that if some of them had accompanied Bai Ming at that time, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened.

But no one knew that Bai Ming met Jiang Xiu after that meeting.Why did Bai Ming and Jiang Xiu fight each other?Is this dispute the last straw that crushes Bai Ming?

Bai Ming is no longer there, what happened after that day, only Jiang Xiu knows.

The video played again, and after it stopped automatically, the computer screen froze at the first frame.Nearby are high and low scattered forests and shrubs, and the light from the silver light strips decorated on the buildings not far away falls on this area, casting a handful of bright lights in the darkness, and the figures in the picture are clearly visible.

The screen was still for a while, and the computer finally went black automatically.

From the beginning to the end, there was only the rustling sound of An An unwrapping presents in the living room. Fang Yunwan was waiting for Jiang Xiu to say something, but Jiang Xiu didn't say anything.

"On March 3 last year, you had a fight with Bai Ming that night." Fang Yunwan had many question marks in his mind, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only describe the content of the video as calmly as possible.

Jiang Xiu lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and was silent for a while, before answering lightly: "Yes, I did make an appointment with Bai Ming that day, and I did have a little argument with him."

"Do you know what happened next?"

Jiang Xiu naturally knew: "After that day, no one could contact Bai Ming. A few days later, Bai Ming was suspected of committing suicide by jumping into the sea."

Fang Yunwan's feelings for Bai Ming are very complicated. At first, it was a kind of fanatical admiration, and later, it was a kind of sympathy that is hard to find. Later, Bai Ming seemed to become a symbol of the time when he was closest to his dream. Hanging high in the sky, what he almost had once was a star that he could never touch again in this life.

Although he had already accepted it, Fang Yunwan's heart sank when he heard the news of Bai Ming's suicide again.

Fang Yunwan closed the computer and looked up at Jiang Xiu: "I want to know, does his suicide have anything to do with your meeting that day?"

These words seemed to hit Jiang Xiu, Jiang Xiu frowned indiscernibly, and there was a slight wave of fluctuation in his calm expression like the surface of water.Although slight, these changes have fallen into Fang Yunwan's eyes. He added, "Why did you ask him to meet?"

"Because of some personal matters."

"Then why are you arguing?"

Jiang Xiu frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and answered bravely, "It's also because of some personal matters."

Fang Yunwan frowned and looked at Jiang Xiu. His two-sentence answers were as brief as if he could cope.Why is talking to this person more tiring than talking to An An?Fang Yunwan's patience was exhausted, and his tone became cold: "What is this private matter that cannot be disclosed? Jiang Xiu, what are you afraid that I will know?"

Urgent and sharp words, like a shining arrow, poked a hole in the gentle night.

The living room was full of beautifully packaged gifts. Today was a happy day. Not long ago, Fang Yunwan had just acquiesced in Jiang Xiu's request to send someone to help him move tomorrow.

Just like the fireworks that two people watched together in Ningyuan, all the brilliant light was only for a moment, and then there was a vast and endless dark night.

Jiang Xiu didn't speak for a long time. In the silence, Fang Yunwan's guesses came rushing like a flood breaking a bank.Apart from Fang Yunwan, what other personal affairs can there be between Jiang Xiu and Bai Ming?If that was really something related to him, then what role did he play in Bai Ming's suicide?

The more this is the case, the more Fang Yunwan can't take it lightly.

If this matter related to him is the last straw that crushes Bai Ming, shouldn't he know?

Fang Yunwan took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and explained to Jiang Xiu: "I didn't intend to pry into your privacy, but the private matter you mentioned is related to me. Should I also know about my tragedy in Bai Ming? What kind of role did you play in Li? How should I treat An An, and what should An An think of me in the future? "

"You and An An are like this, very good." Jiang Xiu responded quickly this time, and after hearing what Fang Yunwan said, he quickly dispelled his worries, "The private matter I mentioned has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it. burden."

Jiang Xiu seemed to be recalling the details of that day, paused, and continued: "It was just a matter between me and Bai Ming. In fact, I can't be sure whether this matter will be related to his suicide. I At that time, I didn't know that he had severe depression, and that his design plan was completely overturned in the meeting that afternoon. If I had known this, I would never have argued with him, or, I would never have Leave him there by himself."

Fang Yunwan's voice was fluttering: "Where did you meet?"

“Hilton in Emerald Bay.”

The building decorated with silver and white light strips in the background of the video is the Hilton Hotel in Emerald Bay.What Fang Yunwan remembered was that it was a resort hotel located in Emerald Bay. When he was still studying, Jiang Xiu took him there several times.

Jiang Xiu said that he likes watching him paint the sunrise the most.They got up early every day and went to the beach to wait for the sunrise, and when the sky turned warm orange, Fang Yunwan leaned in Jiang Xiu's arms and sketched a round of red sun on the drawing paper for him to see. .

At that time, every sunrise picture he drew was carefully collected by Jiang Xiu, but after many years, those paintings have disappeared, maybe the pastels on them have faded and faded, and have long been dim.

The only thing that can keep fiery red and bright is the red sun in memory.

Jiang Xiu knew what Fang Yunwan meant. The same time and the same place were obviously not a simple coincidence. What he said and did to Bai Ming that night may have pushed him into the hands of the rolling tide.

But how should he tell Fang Yunwan the reason for his dispute with Bai Ming that night?

That was another incredible coincidence.

"Xiaowan." Jiang Xiu held Fang Yunwan's hand, "This matter is a bit complicated."

"I can listen to you speak slowly." Fang Yunwan pressed on step by step.

Jiang Xiu sighed: "I have to think about how to tell you about this. Give me some more time."

Just recounting a past event, not solving a difficult math problem, why does it take time?Was it an attempt to procrastinate, or was it an attempt to concoct an airtight lie?

Regarding Jiang Xiu's request, Fang Yunwan only found it ridiculous: "How long do you need to prepare?"

"A week at most."

"Apart from that, is there anything else you need to tell me about Bai Ming?" Fang Yunwan stared into Jiang Xiu's eyes with a serious expression.

Jiang Xiu frowned slightly, and answered him hesitantly: "Not anymore."

The electronic clock in the living room played soft music, it was 09:30 in the evening, and it was time for An An to go to sleep.

Fang Yunwan stood up, with a steady voice: "Okay, if it's okay, you go back first, I should put An An to sleep."

This was the first time that Fang Yunwan seriously issued an order to Jiang Xiu to evict guests after they came back from Ningyuan.

Before Jiang Xiu sent Fang Yunwan and An An back, he stayed on the sofa and refused to leave. He also drove people away half-jokingly, but every time Jiang Xiu hugged him and refused to let go. He drove them into the bedroom.

But today, Fang Yunwan even got up and walked to the living room, opened the door, stood at the door holding An An, and said to An An, "Say goodbye to Uncle Jiang."

It is true that words must be followed, and actions must be resolute.

Holding her beloved toy car in her arms, An An obediently waved at Jiang Xiu: "Goodbye, Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Xiu rubbed An An's hair with a wry smile, he could only tell them to rest early, and then pushed the door and left.

In the same company, it was impossible to see up and down, not to mention that now Fang Yunwan was in the accident investigation team, and this team was directly in charge of Jiang Xiu, who had to report the progress of the investigation to Jiang Xiu every few days.

The day after Fang Yunwan and Jiang Xiu broke up, the investigation team's bi-weekly general report meeting was held.

After nearly a month of investigation by the investigation team, the cause of the accident has reached a preliminary conclusion.Everyone has long known that the direct cause of the Nanhu project accident was the collapse of the load-bearing wall, which led to the instability of the overall structure.

However, after an in-depth investigation by the investigation team, it was found that the reason for the collapse of the load-bearing wall was probably that the construction materials were not used in accordance with the design requirements, and materials with low strength were used, which made the load-bearing wall unable to complete the load-bearing in the gravity design.

The reason why this conclusion cannot be determined is because the accident scene has been cleaned up, and the evidence collected by the investigation team is limited, and there is no evidence directly supporting this conclusion for the time being.

Ordinarily, for such a serious accident, the accident scene should not be thoroughly cleaned up before the thorough investigation.Besides, since the accident happened, the Nanhu project has been shut down for a thorough investigation, and there is no need to rush to clean up the accident scene. This untimely cleanup is indeed a bit weird.

The investigation team of these situations has already reported to Jiang Xiu privately. What Jiang Xiu meant was that Zhaoyang Real Estate would be included in the report.

In particular, all the personnel involved in the Nanhu project are called, and the preliminary conclusion of the accident will not be mentioned. Learn about the situation.

Sure enough, Song Qijun was so angry that he yelled at the scene when he learned that the scene of the accident had been destroyed and the investigation of the accident had been hindered.

The Zhaoyang Real Estate personnel involved in the meeting were silent, only the deputy general manager of the project company and the manager of the engineering department looked at each other quietly.

Jiang Xiu had been waiting for this for a long time. After the meeting, he left these two alone.But the two refused to eat, and drank tea in Jiangxiu's office for half an afternoon, and only pushed the pot to the people who bought scraps on the project, saying that they didn't know the situation, and thought that the broken steel bars after the collapse were useless. I found a friend and took away the scrap steel overnight.

As soon as the front foot sent the person away, Song Zheng came to him on the back foot.

He neither inquired about the investigation situation nor started an argument for destroying the scene of the accident. He just leisurely drank tea and chatted with Jiang Xiu.

Song Zheng has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Jiang Xiu was like a mirror in his heart, playing with the celadon teacup in his hand, glanced at Song Zheng, and said coldly: "There must be something tricky at the Nanhu project company level. This accident is serious, and I must thoroughly investigate it. If you want to If you are partial to someone, you don't have to say this, lest I refuse you and refute your face."

"Xiaoxiu, what are you talking about? Our Songwen family business is so big, the most important thing to keep it safe is to follow the rules. Just check, if there is anyone in Zhaoyang who does not cooperate with your work, tell uncle at any time !"

Jiang Xiu took a few sips of the cup of tea in his hand, put down the cup, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Song."

Because they have to report to Jiang Xiu at any time, in addition to going to the scene, the investigation team works in a conference room on the 46th floor of Songwen Building.After Jiang Xiu and Fang Yunwan reconciled, the two of them went to get off work together every day. Either Fang Yunwan deliberately dawdled until the investigation team left and slipped to Jiang Xiu's office to look for him, or Jiang Xiu took the elevator first. Go to the basement and ask the driver to drive the car to the elevator and wait for him.

Half an hour ago, Fang Yunwan sent a message saying that he would take An'an and An'an's cousin to dinner tonight, and would not go off work with him.

After Bai Ming's accident, the only one who is close to An An's blood is this cousin.It's just that An An's cousin is traveling around all the year round, so it's not easy to take An An with him. After a lot of deliberation, he agrees to keep An An in Yucheng for the time being, and let Fang Yunwan take care of him.

Now that half a year has passed, it is reasonable for my uncle to come to see An An.

It's just that this news is like a gust of wind, those bad memories that were deliberately dusted, because of this light gust of wind, the dust is blown away, and the regrettable past deep in the memory rushes out.

Jiang Xiu was a little uneasy and unwilling.

He just got back together with Fang Yunwan, and he hasn't explained to him the video on Bai Ming's computer. The relationship between them is like a piece of thin ice formed after the first snow falls in winter, crystal clear and beautiful, But not strong enough.

They all say that love is stronger than gold, but ask yourself, Jiang Xiu has no confidence in him and Fang Yunwan now.

However, is there any way to prevent Fang Yunwan from meeting An An's family?

The author says:

There was no fight, and it can't be considered a quarrel, but the abuse should still be abused——

No prize quiz, why doesn't Xiu Xiu want Xiao Fang to meet An An's uncle?

Modified on March 3: Only An An's uncle came——
