Boss, did you speak well today?

Hey, can't it?

Tian's father's funeral was on July 7th. That day happened to be the end of several days of heavy rain, and the sky was drizzling with light rain.

After getting out of the car, Su Xi resigned half a step behind Nangong Ran, and helped him open the umbrella. The appearance of the two instantly became the focus of the audience.

Nangong Ran went into the mourning hall to express his condolences, Su Xici put away his umbrella, stood upright, and stood quietly in the corner under the eaves.

People in black clothes stood on both sides of the corridor under the eaves of the crematorium, and a bunch of wreaths and bouquets were placed there.The raindrops converged along the umbrella surface to the end, dripped down, and gathered into a small shoal at the feet.

Everywhere is wet and sticky, and Su Xici doesn't like this kind of weather.

"Butler Su."

He heard a soft call, turned his eyes away, and it turned out to be Tian Cheng, whom he hadn't seen in months.

The once lively and innocent girl now has a haggard face, and her big deer-like eyes are very abrupt, staring straight at him.

"Can we go to the side for a chat?" She asked softly nervously, as if she was about to faint in the next second.

Su Xici nodded, and followed her to a lounge behind with a long-handled umbrella.

Putting the umbrella at the door, he quickly sent a message to Nangong Ran to explain the situation before entering the house.

"Miss Tian, ​​what's the matter?"

Tian Cheng's cheeks were sunken, and she couldn't find the aura in her body at all. She looked at him blankly and asked, "I heard that you and Nangong Ran were also at the pier that night."

Su Xici put his legs together, folded his hands on his thighs, and sat facing her, "Yes, miss. At that time, we accidentally bumped into those people on the dock who were dealing in arms, and we were hunted down by them."

This is what he and Nangong Ran said to the outside world, otherwise he would not be able to explain how he, a manor housekeeper, would know the time and place of their transaction.

"Who did you bump into?" Tian Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Se was also there at the time, so don't try to lie to me."

Su Xici originally wanted to tell the truth, but when he heard her address, he frowned.

"What did Situ Se tell you?"

Tian Cheng paused, and looked at him with some vigilance, "It doesn't matter what he said, the important thing is, what happened at that time?"

"Master Situ's subordinates, or a confidant, had a scalded scar behind his ear, and brought a foreigner to the dock warehouse to inspect the goods that night."

"Brother Se's men?" Tian Cheng pondered for a moment, then looked up in surprise, as if thinking of who it was.

Su Xici hesitated for a while, then said: "Be careful with Situ Se, he is not a good person."

"You misunderstood." She stood up and said sadly, "The pier belongs to Dad, the warehouse is under Dad's name, and the gun transaction documents also have Dad's signature."

"We didn't see a single Tian family member that night."

"It's dark, can the two of you guarantee to see everyone?" Tian Cheng didn't believe it, "Brother Se wanted to stop Dad from making mistakes, so he took people to the pier ahead of time, but he didn't expect to bump into you, which made you misunderstand. If Brother Se is the mastermind, and he will definitely kill the two of you who ran into the scene, dozens of people are more than enough to assassinate you two. But you are still here safe and sound, which is enough to show that they have no intention of killing you at all. "

Su Xici was amazed, and that young master in fancy clothes was also quite good at turning black and white.

"Miss Tian, ​​it's inappropriate for you to doubt your own father like this."

He was afraid that a thunderbolt would fall from the sky and strike this room.

"The facts are right in front of you, and you have to believe them. I was also surprised at the beginning, but it was only because I didn't know anything about the family's business." Tian Cheng seemed ashamed of this, and didn't want to say more, and stood up staggeringly, "Butler Su, I heard that Nangong Ran is going to testify against Brother Se as a witness, tell him for me that what he saw was all fake, please don't appear in court? I lost my father, and I can't lose my husband anymore. "

I see, this is the main purpose of today's talk.

Su Xici pushed his glasses to his eyes, lifted his thin eyelids slightly, and said mockingly: "I can't convey this, I want to intercede for him, you tell the young master yourself, and see how he will react."

"Butler Su, will you appear in court?" Tian Cheng stared at him.

"No," Su Xi resigned, "I also have a case."

I'm afraid Tian Cheng hasn't gone to the hospital to meet Situ Se's subordinates, and he probably won't say that dozens of people confronting them is the result of Situ Se's kindness.

-

The conversation between the two broke up unhappily, Su Xici came out of the lounge, just as Tian's father's ashes came out, a group of people seeing him off scatteredly got into the car and walked to the cemetery.

Nangong Ran seemed to be waiting for his umbrella, standing under the eaves and chatting with two people. When he got closer, he realized that one of them was Chengfeng, and the other was unknown, but his position was obviously higher.

"That's it for now." Nan Gongran waved them goodbye, and Su Xi hurriedly opened an umbrella to protect him from the rain.

Walking back to the car, he said, "I'm afraid people from the investigation team are not welcome here."

"Then what can we do? The case still needs to be investigated. Uncle Tian's usual network is clear today, and they can't let go of this opportunity." Nangong Ran Xuxu put his arms around his waist and said, "Besides, it's not the investigation team. The person who killed Uncle Tian, ​​if you want to blame, you should blame the driver who was driving at that time."

Su Xici told Nangong Ran what Tian Cheng told him just now, Nangong Ran really got angry, and at the same time said helplessly: "I am afraid that this Tian's family already belongs to Situ Se."

He used to think that the Situ family would fall because of this, so as to prevent the Tian family from engulfing Situ, but now Situ swallowed the Tian family instead, and they didn't even have a chance to get a share of the pie.

"Situ Se is too heartless and ruthless. You don't want to get in touch with him in the future. You won't know when he suddenly strikes you." Nangong Ran persuaded.

"You have told me this from the very beginning." Su Xici couldn't laugh or cry, because he was so worried that he would suffer.

Su Xici thought for a while, he had no disadvantages at all, but Situ Se, I'm afraid he hates him so much now, but what can he do, he can't be moved, and Nangong Ran can't be helped.

As the son-in-law of the Tian family, Situ Se, Tian Cheng helped him hold an umbrella and stood at the front, listening to the pastor's prayers with a sad face.

As if sensing the gaze behind him, he hugged the urn, turned his head to meet Su Xici's gaze, his eyelids slightly lifted, and his well-shaped peach blossom eyes glared at him viciously.

Su Xici stood up straight, tilted his head, and raised his glasses. His bright red lips seemed to have absorbed the moisture of the rainy season, making them moist and pink, and he showed him a standard kind smile.

In Situ Se's eyes, this is simply Chi Guoguo's provocation!

His complexion suddenly darkened, and he turned around gritted his teeth.

Everyone surrounded the cemetery in silence, and Su Xici stood half a step behind Nangong Ran, turning his gaze to the crowd of people in boredom.

In the hanging heads of these people, there is so much truth and so much falsehood.

Tian Cheng and his mother were crying heartbreakingly in front. Situ Se put down the urn, reached out to support the mother and daughter, and comforted her in a low voice.

The ceremony was short and grand, and not long after it ended, the rain in the sky stopped.

Nangong Ran held an umbrella in one hand and held his hand in the other, interlocking his fingers and walking out of the cemetery.

"Is Nangongtang working here?"

"It seems to be," Nangong Ran didn't care, "that person is just Nangongyao's illegitimate son, a small character, even his family will forget about him."

Su Xici stared at the figure passing by, his face was calm.

At the beginning, Nangongyan sent mercenaries to kidnap Nangongran, and the plan to blow them up was not over yet.

Just as he was thinking, his gaze caught sight of Situ Se, who was talking furtively to someone under a big tree not far away.

He is familiar with that person, Wu Mingxuan.

The two of them are also involved?

Su Xici raised his eyebrows, before he could take a closer look, he was dragged forward by Nangong Ran.

"Hurry up and go home, lest you be seduced by some handsome guy."

Hearing this, Su Xici quickly kissed him on the cheek while no one around was looking at him.

"Don't be angry, young master. I will accompany you after I finish admiring the other handsome guys."

"Who is more handsome than me?" Nangong Ran put his arms around his waist domineeringly, "Except for me, who else is worthy of you."

Su Xici glanced around and fixed on the person not far away.

Cheng Feng is staring at this place, looking like that, it seems that he has been paying attention to him for a long time.

In the eyes of the investigators, he was still a dangerous saboteur. Su Xici turned his head in a low-key manner, and slapped the hands on his waist away, "Let go, what is it like to be seen by others."

"What's wrong with me hugging my boyfriend, they are jealous."

Seeing Boss Ba's proud and ostentatious look, Su Xici also seemed to be honored, straightened his chest, tried to relax, and let himself ignore the gazes of the people around him.

You should get used to it.

-

Back at Luo Fei Manor, Su Xici casually found a reason to go back to the greenhouse, took out his mobile phone, and called Uncle Gu.

"Mr. Su, what's the matter?" Uncle Gu's older voice came from the microphone.

"Help me investigate the recent movements of the Tian family, if possible," Su Xici's gentle and cold tone echoed in the empty room, "Get rid of Nangongyan."

"Mr. Su, as long as you ask, I will definitely do it for you," Uncle Gu bargained with him, "but my grandson..."

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him." Su Xi resigned, "After this incident, I won't touch your grandson, but you..."

Last time, he said that he would let his grandson come to live in the manor for a short time. During this time, Cora has been annoyed a lot, so don't let yourself suffer.

Uncle Gu was taken aback for a moment, and then said with relief: "I see, Mr. Su."

Su Xici stared at his palm, and said, "Recently, there are many cases, I may go in for a few years."

There was a silence on the other end of the phone.

Su Xici reckoned that the other party didn't know how to answer his words, and at the same time felt a little annoyed, why were he talking to this person, he still expected to hear some words of comfort and encouragement from this old man who had been with him for a long time.

"Susu."

Su Xici was taken aback, and immediately turned off the phone. With a smile on his face, he naturally put the phone into the lining of his suit, "Why didn't you ring the doorbell when you came in?"

"This is..."

"You still have the backup key." Su Xici narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched out his hand, "Hand it over."

Nangong Ran sighed, straightened his chest, "Hold it by yourself, I don't have hands."

He holds a large flowerpot in each of his left and right hands, and a bunch of tools.

Su Xici reached out his hand from the coat and found the key easily. When he took it out, he picked up a point on his chest with his fingers and twisted it gently.

"Hiss—" The expression on Nangong Ran's face suddenly became sour, and tears burst forth.

"Don't pretend, I know the strength. When you pinch me, I don't react as much as you do." Su Xici helped him unload the things from his hands and put them at the door.

"That's because I couldn't bear it when I pinched you. How dare you use force. You didn't see how attractive your expression was at that time. Next time, I will press you against the mirror."

Nangong Ran hadn't finished speaking yet, the back of his head felt a chill, he quickly lowered his body, just in time to avoid Su Xici's palm.

"Hey, I can't hit it." Boss Tyrant flipped his hair handsomely.

The expression on Su Xici's face faded, and he pursed his lips.

Nangong Ran smiled for a moment, hesitated for a while, bent down, and stretched the back of his hairy head in front of him for him to hit.

Su Xici breathed heavily, tried hard to hold back the rising smile, put his fingers through his hair, and picked up this silly head.

Nangong Ran was puzzled, and a cold kiss fell on his lips, with a light vetiver flavor.

The unremarkable dry woody fragrance was full of allure in his nose.

"What are you going to do today?" Su Xici let go of the back of his head, licked his lips, turned his head to one side, his gaze flickered.

As soon as he took a step, he was pulled by the people behind him and pressed directly against the wall.

Two hours later, Nangong Ran put on his tool suit and took out the tools one by one, "It's getting late, hurry up, I won't be free for the next few days, so I'll work overtime tonight to finish the work."

The outside of the flower room is colorful, but the inside is mainly black, white and gray furniture. The lines are tough and straight, and it is lifeless. A few days ago, Nangong Ran had a whim and began to mutter about renovating the flower room.

After adjusting the color, the roller brush was covered with lively and bright light yellow paint, and Nan Gongran stood on the stepladder and began to paint the wall.He also seemed to find that Su Xici was determined to bid farewell to the past, and the color he chose was not too ostentatious, but it could make people feel at ease at first glance.

Su Xici lay lazily on the sofa, turned over and yawned, "I can do it myself."

"You don't need me anymore?"

"need."

It's a great feeling to have someone to share and lean on for you.Su Xici turned over again, his whole body was still immersed in the aftertaste, soft.

Nangong Ran accidentally raised his head from the painted wall, his clothes were scattered all over the floor, most of his body was casually wrapped in the black blanket, and he was clenched in the hand on his chest, but he didn't cover his thin and thin back and straight long hair at all. leg.Su Xici leaned on one arm, staring at him without blinking, with a hint of sleepiness in his brows and eyes.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down.

"Get dressed." He said in a deep voice.

After a while, Su Xici sat up slowly, packed the clothes on the floor into a pile, threw them into the washing machine, and came out wrapped in a thin blanket.

Against the backdrop of the black blanket, the fair skin was like a piece of cream wrapped in a chocolate shell. I wish I could eat it all with the blanket.

"Why don't you work anymore?" Su Xici asked him innocently, without glasses and without focusing his gaze.

This person is simply innately owed to him.

Nangong Ran resigned himself to doing rough work that he had never done before.

"I shouldn't have let you in, the sofa is dirty." Su Xici sat on the floor with his waist supported, and installed white gauze and avocado green curtain iron rings for the huge French windows on three sides.The rainy days have been gloomy for the past few days, and the roses outside have been beaten a lot, and they are not very pretty, so they just pretended to cover them up.

"I just lost them all. We went to look at the furniture in two days. I fell in love with a set of oak wood. You can go and see if it fits." Nan Gongran let out a little breath from the mask, "Tired Don't do it, wait for me."

Su Xici was not polite, he threw away the hoop, lay down on the ground, and talked to him one after another.

It started to rain again outside the window, and the sky was terribly gloomy. Nan Gongran asked the people below to turn on the light as he talked, but found no one to talk to. He put down the brush and saw that Su Xici was curled up on the ground, wrapped in a thin blanket, I don't know when I fell asleep.

He shook his head and smiled, got down from the ladder, and carried him to the bedroom to lie down.

When he went downstairs again, he took out the mobile phone in his pocket.

That was Su Xici's cell phone.

Xu Shi felt that no one would find out, and there was no chain screen, so he quickly clicked in, and there was only one call record in it.

He wrote down the number, exited, wiped the phone on his clothes, and stuffed it into the crevice of the sofa.
