Just like the countless chases and escapes in the past, within 2 minutes, Jiang Yueli hadn't even run out of the street when she was cornered by Lu Mingxuan.

Jiang Yueli pressed her back against the wall, panting slightly and raised her head. Even at this moment, her expression remained surprisingly calm and indifferent.

Lu Mingxuan stretched out her hand, passed her ear, propped it against the wall, and blocked her way.

"Why are you running?" Lu Mingxuan asked.

"What are you chasing after?" Jiang Yueli asked back.

The questions of the two are similar, the sentence patterns are the same, and even the answers are exactly the same, but one looks irritable, and the other is overly calm, which seems a bit weird.

Pedestrians passed by nearby, and when they saw the scene at the corner of the road, they all cast condemning glances at Lu Mingxuan.

It was as if Lu Mingxuan was the one who bullied Jiang Yueli.

Some people even muttered sentences such as "the sky is bright" and "the world is declining".

The veins on Lu Mingxuan's forehead twitched uncontrollably.

"Jiang Yueli." Lu Mingxuan tried her best to ignore the interference from the outside world, and continued, "Do you still owe me an explanation?"

"What's the explanation?" Jiang Yueli was bewildered.

It's just that the meaning of dazedness was too deep, and in Lu Mingxuan's eyes, it was automatically labeled as "deliberate".

Lu Mingxuan raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Aren't you pretending you don't know me now?"

The second her voice fell, Jiang Yueli glanced at her even more blankly: "Who are you?"

Lu Mingxuan: "..."

"She is the lady who wanted to help you last time." The owner of the dessert shop who came out happened to hear these two sentences, and immediately reminded enthusiastically, "Miss Jiang, didn't you say that you are very grateful to her before? "

The girl following him saw the subtlety of the atmosphere, and finally couldn't help kicking her boyfriend, signaling him to shut up with her eyes.

This time Lu Mingxuan didn't care about what the boss said at all, the anger in her heart was completely drawn out by Jiang Yueli's simple sentence.

"If you don't want to see me, just say so." Lu Mingxuan said coldly, "Why use this way to play|trick me."

She looked like she was suppressing her anger, but the unhappiness almost overflowed from her body, and there was also some unobvious grievance mixed in it.

Jiang Yueli remained silent, the phrase "Yes, I don't want to see you" just got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't vomit it out.

But her silence is already the best answer.

What does this feel like?

It's as if you are talking about life and death very seriously, handing the most vulnerable and embarrassing side of yourself to the other party's hand, but the other party is laughing and looking in other directions, and then passing by you indifferently.

She is using actions to show that you and her are complete strangers.

Your sincerity, to her, is just a dispensable thing, maybe a burden.

There is nothing more chilling than this.

"Okay." Lu Mingxuan put down her hand, took a step back, her steps were gentle but firm, she took one last look at Jiang Yueli, and said word by word, "Just pretend I haven't known you before, goodbye."

After leaving such a sentence, Lu Mingxuan turned around and left without even looking at Jiang Yueli.

Jiang Yueli leaned against the wall, following Lu Mingxuan's back with her eyes, a rare look of astonishment appeared on her face.

When she looked up just now, she happened to see Lu Mingxuan's repressed anger, but her eyes were glistening, as if tears were about to roll down.

Will Lu Mingxuan cry?

Jiang Yueli recalled the scene where she was lying on her shoulder and weeping silently when she just confirmed the news of her parents' death.

Lu Mingxuan is a human being, and she is also a very obvious emotional person, so she will naturally cry.

It's just that Lu Mingxuan is also a person with extremely strong self-esteem, she does not allow herself to show any weakness in front of outsiders.

That time she would cry directly in front of Jiang Yueli was already extremely rare and rare.

In other words, this is also proof that Lu Mingxuan has begun to trust her - even though she doesn't seem to realize it yet.

Jiang Yueli originally thought that that time was already the limit.

Maybe she just got it wrong?

Jiang Yueli gave an excuse in his heart, maybe it was just because he actually expected a sincere response from the other party in his heart, not just the indifference and alienation of passers-by who met by chance, so he spontaneously added a filter to her.

But the greater possibility is that she is just being self-indulgent.

"That... are you all right?" The owner of the dessert shop who was watching looked blank, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No." Jiang Yueli calmed down her expression in an instant, pushed her glasses, turned and walked towards the bar, "I'm going to trouble you today, let's go in first."

It was the idea of ​​the owner of the dessert shop to meet at this bar.

It is said that it was because his girlfriend often came to this store, and he didn't want her to be misunderstood, so he wanted her to be there together.

Jiang Yueli had no objection to the latter, but hesitated whether to propose a change of place.

However, she was worried that this would appear too deliberate. The store was not far from the bar, so after careful analysis, it was indeed a good place for conversation.

Everyone knows that Mr. Lu has been working hard to become stronger recently, and he has stopped fighting against the punks. He finally has such a high-end and domineering president's demeanor.

According to common sense, Mr. Lu, who is almost on the verge of a successful transformation, should not often go to the bar to get drunk.

Even according to the frequency in the past, Lu Mingxuan's appearance in this area once a month is already considered remarkable.

As long as the luck is not too bad, the possibility of bumping into Lu Mingxuan is actually not very high.

So in the end they settled on the place.

Who knew that Jiang Yueli's luck was so bad.

Before officially starting the conversation, Jiang Yueli sent a text message to Jiang Feng.

[Remember to remind me in the future, never gamble with luck. 】

……

Jiang Yueli went to the owner of the dessert shop because of the man who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with that day.

The owner of the dessert shop said that the man whose name card says Manager Zhang is his college classmate.

However, that Manager Zhang's reputation has not been very good since he was in college, and messing up his private life is considered the lightest crime.

Manager Zhang likes to hook up with all kinds of female classmates, and he often steps on a few boats, tricking those ignorant girls into bed | and immediately throws them off.

Once someone came to ask for an explanation, he would immediately spread the news that the girl had been slept with by her, devoting himself to preemptively destroying the other party's reputation.

In short, this is scum.

However, due to the scumbag's outstanding appearance and rich family, even though his reputation has long been ruined, there are still girls who are not clear-headed, and they think that they are the right girl in the other's life and can make his prodigal son come back.

Of course, until now, no such person seems to have actually appeared.

In addition to the extremely poor evaluation of the stroke by girls, there are also many people in the boys group who look down on his character, and the owner of the dessert shop is one of them.

"Not to mention that we haven't seen each other since we graduated from college. Even when we were in college, we couldn't speak a few words in a semester. Later, we met a few times in the class reunion, but it seemed that we still remained the same."

Speaking of this old classmate, the owner of the dessert shop couldn't help showing disdain and indignation.

"Did he go to harass you again later?" The owner of the dessert shop persuaded earnestly, "Don't be fooled by his rhetoric, that is a beast in human skin. A classmate hooked up with a little girl in a shop, and disappeared after leaving with him. Many people said that the girl committed suicide..."

The girlfriend sitting on the side frowned, and poked her boyfriend's waist: "Didn't you promise not to go?"

The owner of the dessert shop was speechless for a while, and looked awkwardly at Jiang Yueli who was taking notes with her head down: "That...can you pretend that you didn't hear it?"

Jiang Yueli put down the paper notebook in his hand, and raised the thing in his hand: "I'm recording."

"..."

The girl hugged her boyfriend's arm vigilantly, and glared at Jiang Yueli: "You are not an unscrupulous reporter, are you? Let me tell you that we are all law-abiding citizens, and we don't want to get involved in other people's love and hatred. Break the law and don't go out and smear our reputation."

Things have progressed to this point, and the owner of the dessert shop can no longer find the problem, which means that his IQ is really flawed.

It was obvious that Jiang Yueli had come prepared, and he might not even be an ordinary customer.

"You, who are you? What do you want to do?" The owner of the dessert shop took out his mobile phone and warned, "I tell you, I will call the police."

"I just want to know where Manager Zhang took that girl." Jiang Yueli flipped through her notebook, and searched the location with the map that comes with her phone, "Maybe I can save a few more——As for me Just a caring citizen."

……

The consequences of "breaking" with Lu Mingxuan were more serious than what the two of them had imagined.

Jiang Yueli's pressure comes from outside.

Regarding the matter of drawing a clear line with Lu Mingxuan, she adapted and accepted it faster than anyone else.

Or it would be better to say that she has long been used to hiding in the dark, silently watching her without Lu Mingxuan's knowledge.

On another level, she has been protecting Lu Mingxuan all along.

Jiang Yueli had been following Lu Mingxuan for more than ten years, and the energy and feelings she invested were far beyond what Lu Mingxuan had accumulated in the past few months.

Meeting Lu Mingxuan face to face was actually just an accident in Jiang Yueli's life, and it shouldn't even be called a "normal" process.

When the original track is corrected, they should naturally go back to the original path.

If there was any way to make Lu Mingxuan live a more stable and happy life, Jiang Yueli would do it without hesitation—as long as she could do it.

So when Jiang Yueli thought that Lu Mingxuan's involvement with her would bring trouble to the other party, she could also cut off the connection between them without hesitation.

But unlike the past when they were strangers, Jiang Yueli subconsciously ignored certain parameters that could cause surprises.

For example, Lu Mingxuan would feel bad because of this, and when Lu Mingxuan was depressed, Ji Hanyu and other subordinates would feel very stressed and anxious, and they would look for all possible solutions to the problem.

Lu Mingxuan didn't have very many friends, but there were not many people who were close enough to be useful in this way, and it wouldn't take much time to find them one by one.

So the end result was that Jiang Yueli received a call from Han Lin on the way to the suspect's suspected location.

"Little Senior Sister." Han Lin's voice sounded very helpless, "Let's have a good talk when you are free—about Mingxuan's matter, it is indeed a bit too rude for you to do so."

At the same time, Lu Mingxuan, who returned home full of anger, also received a call from Hua Yishi.

"Mingxuan, let's talk."

Hua Yishi and Lu Mingxuan made an appointment at the airport. The former had just returned from abroad, and the last call before boarding the plane was to call Lu Mingxuan to pick him up.

During this time, there was no contract between them to sign, but this was the first time Hua Yishi took the initiative to ask Lu Mingxuan to come over.

In terms of emotion and reason, Lu Mingxuan could not refuse.

Lu Mingxuan was so distraught that she didn't notice something wrong with Hua Yishi's words for a while, she just cleaned up in a hurry and rushed to the airport.

In the box, not long after Lu Mingxuan sat down, Hua Yishi pushed the door open and came in, looking a little hurried.

"Sister Hua—"

Hua Yishi raised her hand, interrupted Lu Mingxuan, and asked, "I heard you got divorced?"
