有罪

At the gate of Shenzui Community today, Yan Mingyang was actually passing by.

He had just returned from a long business trip and returned to Shanghai at night.

After the new year, things are very complicated.Negotiated projects are waiting to be promoted, new projects need to be inspected and negotiated, and the company that Pei Yan has let go... After Shen Zui left, Yan Mingyang had no time to be sad, he was too busy to go around.

Too busy will weaken people's perceptual cognition.Yan Mingyang quickly forgot the pain of entanglement with intoxication at work.

In fact, utilitarianism, career, selfishness, ruthlessness, and loneliness are what Yan Mingyang is more familiar with and used to.

Shen Zui left, leaving resolutely and mercilessly.Yan Mingyang admitted that he felt hurt, and by extension, deep anger.

But since it is irreparable, he will never indulge in it.

On the afternoon of Shen Zui's move, Yan Mingyang went on a business trip.

That day, Sang Lili came to the door early and waited as usual.She didn't see Shen Zui, so she asked, "Is Teacher Shen here today?"

"He won't come in the future." Yan Mingyang was standing in front of the mirror.He slowly buttoned up his suit and tightened his tie, "You don't have to report to me about the intoxication in the future."

"...Huh?" Sang Lili was stunned for a long time, and Yan Mingyang in front of her made her terrified.

"That, that,"

"Mr. Shen just left, why don't you go on a business trip tomorrow?" Sang Lili said cautiously.

"No need." Yan Mingyang pursed his lips, and his tone was somewhat contemptuous, "Do you think I'm Pei Yan?"

Sang Lili froze for a moment before realizing what Yan Mingyang meant.

Pei Yan was devastated by Zhou Dafei's departure. Not only did he stop making new films, he even left the company.He stayed at home all day without seeing anyone, and he was so depressed that he almost died.

But it is also lovelorn, Yan Mingyang is different.He was more ruthless and more tenacious.

He was born unwilling to fail, career is the focus of life.He has a great fighting spirit, and it is impossible to be knocked down if he survives.

Being trapped by love is an idealistic thing.Yan Mingyang thought it was too naive.

Yan Mingyang must let go of the pain and anger brought about by the relationship.He cut off his intoxicated stardom, and used the most trouble-free method to get rid of the salary from the bottom of the pot.

It may take time for the wound to heal, but Yan Mingyang can't wait.Turning around, he went back to the road before Shen Zui appeared, which was also what he had originally planned for himself.

Sang Lili stood in the living room dumbfounded, and took a breath.

"I know you've always liked to be intoxicated." Yan Mingyang put on his watch and glanced at Sang Lili lightly, "But if you still want this job, you have to clarify your position."

Yan Mingyang went to several cities to investigate projects this trip.He lived in Beijing for half a month, and then returned to the south to continue his business trip.

After one or two months of running around, Yan Mingyang gradually regained his former state, and he was less likely to take the initiative to think of Shen Zui, that amorous and cold beauty.

After the project investigation, on the way back to Shanghai, they passed by Qi City again.

Yan Mingyang was reading the report on the computer, and casually raised his eyes to catch a glimpse of the misty Jiangnan outside the window.

Both Sang Lili and the driver knew that Yan Mingyang had a particularly gloomy temper during this time, so he didn't dare to say a word.

"Are you coming to Qi City?" Yan Mingyang saw the sign beside the road.He thought for a while, "The last time I asked you to check, how did it go?"

"Check it out." Sang Lili said quickly, "Your father,"

Yan Mingyang raised his head, he never mentioned who Yan Ting was when he explained.

Sang Lili quickly understood and changed her words, "There is nothing wrong with Yan Ting's case."

"His condition is not bad, and he is about to be released from prison."

Manslaughter is usually only sentenced to three to seven years. Yan Ting has been imprisoned so far. Presumably there are some other problems, and he has been punished for several crimes.

Yan Mingyang can imagine that Yan Ting is capable of killing people, and illegal behaviors in the investigation process may be unavoidable.

"Mr. Yan, do you... want to visit?" Sang Lili asked, "The prison is not too far from here."

"No." Yan Mingyang bluntly moved his gaze back to the computer screen and continued to work.

Sang Lili wisely chose to shut up.

After a while, Yan Mingyang said again, "When you pass Qishi, go to the cemetery."

"Okay." Sang Lili pursed her lips.

Except for fixed festivals such as Qingming and Spring Festival, most cemeteries are deserted.

Yan Mingyang is a person who doesn't pay much attention to etiquette by nature, so he went in empty-handed, intending to take a look in front of Yangling's tomb before leaving.

Today is misty and rainy, and the air is filled with the earthy smell of a rainy day.There was no one in the cemetery, and it was more solemn than when I came back last time.

Yan Mingyang did not open an umbrella, and the misty drizzle fell on his forehead in pieces.He walked along this familiar road, went up a few steps, turned around, and saw a person standing in front of Yangling's tomb from a distance.

Sang Lili didn't dare to follow, so she could only stand at the turning.She saw Yan Mingyang frowned and stopped, hesitated for a moment and still didn't speak.

Today is a somewhat special day.

She was always worried that Yan Mingyang would have a worse temper than usual.

The man at the grave put down a bouquet of flowers.She turned to leave, only to reveal a positive face.

It was a face with excellent bones, no makeup was applied, and there were no dead spots on the whole face.But it doesn't look good-looking, haggard, lifeless, yellow and white, revealing the appearance of being tortured, making people sigh that youth is fleeting and God has no mercy.

Yan Mingyang has recognized her.This is Axue, the intoxicated biological mother.

Ashe used to lower her head slightly when she walked, with both hands hanging in front of her body.With her white hair hanging down her temples, she felt that there was someone in front of her who was cramped behind her.

Yan Mingyang knew Ah Xue, but Ah Xue didn't remember Yan Mingyang who only met once.

"My surname is Yan." Yan Mingyang said bluntly.

Ash immediately opened his eyes wide.She has standard double eyelids, and when she opens them, her eyes look big and hollow.

She tugged at the corners of her plain white clothes uneasily, her eyes turned red, and her lips moved.

"You are," Ah Xue said in a soft, gentle, humble and bitter voice, "You are the child of Sister Yang Ling."

"Yes." Yan Mingyang said.

"You are very good, just like your mother." Ashe looked at Yan Mingyang, as if judging his current success and fame from his attire.

There was a bit of crying in her tone, and she forced a smile, "It's like your father, too."

Yan Mingyang looked thoughtfully at the aging woman in front of him.She is Shenzui's biological mother, the source of Shenzui's youth's suffering, the starting point of Yan Mingyang and Xiaotu's story, and the cause of many things.

But she herself was at a loss.

Yan Mingyang could no longer hate her, but he would not pity her either.He didn't even feel guilty about his motives for reporting A Xue back then.

Sang Lili stood behind Yan Mingyang, and she felt a subtle familiarity with the woman in front of her.

"It's not a festival today, why are you visiting my mother?" Yan Mingyang asked.

"Today is," Ah Xue bit her lower lip, seemingly struggling, "today is my day of guilt."

"I want to come and talk to sister Yang Ling."

"Are you on good terms with my mother?" Yan Mingyang's tone was not warm.

Axue smiled wryly, and said sadly, "I'm not worthy. It's just that sister Yang Ling helped me during the interview."

"But I still hurt her."

"My mother is an investigative reporter." Yan Mingyang straightened his back unconsciously, "It's her job to investigate social chaos."

Ah Xue rarely raised her head, "No, she is different."

"I have committed the unforgivable sin. If it weren't for your mother, I would never have the courage to face my mistakes."

"I know." Yan Mingyang's tone could not hear the emotion, "You once abandoned your child."

Sang Lili opened her eyes unconsciously.

Ah Xue did not dodge, but her eyes became redder.She pursed her lips and seemed to be smiling. She didn't say a word for a long time, but two lines of tears fell.

"Do you want to go find your child?" Yan Mingyang asked.

Ashe shook his head.

"I've heard people say that he's an actor now." Ashe wiped away the tears on his cheeks with a bent finger, "He should have a bright future, but it probably won't be easy."

Yan Mingyang didn't speak, but his face became more dull.

"You go to see your mother." Ashe moved aside, "she will be very happy."

Yan Mingyang walked to Yangling's tomb, and he saw the same flowers in front of the monument as during the Spring Festival.

He didn't say anything, just stood quietly for a while.

When she came out of the cemetery, Sang Lili hesitated to speak.

At 08:30 in the evening, Yan Mingyang returned to Shanghai without speaking.

When driving to the villa where Yan Mingyang lives alone now, Sang Lili whispered to the driver, "Take another road ahead."

"Change the road?" the driver wondered, "The other road is prone to traffic jams."

"Change." Sang Lili lowered her voice, "Listen to me."

Yan Mingyang was reclining on the back of the chair with his eyes closed.He opened his eyes slightly and looked out the window.

If I remember correctly, the front of this road is the residential area where Shenzui lives.

"No need." Yan Mingyang said, "Just go this way."

"Boss Yan," Sang Lili seemed to have held back for a day.She finally couldn't help it, "Did you know that today is Teacher Shen Zui's birthday?"

Yan Mingyang frowned.

Today is my day of guilt.

That's what it meant.

"He never told me." After a while, Yan Mingyang said.

The car stopped for a while in front of the Shenzui community.

Sang Lili wanted to speak up several times, and persuaded Yan Mingyang to send a birthday wish to Shen Zui.

Until Shen Zui happily walked out with Liu Heng and Ji Chengyu.
