gentle fall

It was at the end of the month when Ji Yue noticed the problem.

The little girl of the Wen family called home every now and then without saying anything, but when she heard his voice, she seemed to be disappointed, asked a few polite questions, and then hung up.

So many times, he called her directly and asked her: "What's the matter with you and Xiaorou?"

The person on the other end of the phone was silent, probably because he didn't expect that Ji Yirou hadn't told anyone yet.

Ji Yue lost his patience: "Speak up! Are you trying to kill me, an old man?"

"We...we had a little problem and she didn't see me."

"why?"

"...I'm sorry. Grandpa, I'm dealing with some things about the funeral. I won't talk to you now."

She hung up the phone hastily, looking at the name on the tombstone coldly, without any emotion or emotion.

On the day she regained her freedom, Ji Yirou did not come.For many days to come, she couldn't find her.

Dozens of days after that, she went back to the company and dealt with a mountain of documents. During times of turmoil, she can see people's hearts the most. She waited patiently for a long time. The knife, indifferent and decisive, dug out the remaining cancerous tumors and carrion. Since then, some inherent problems of the family business have been cut off.

Three days later, the police reported that during the process of arresting Wen Ping and Wen Ming, the two drove a car and collided head-on with a large truck. Wen Ping died on the spot, and Wen Ming escaped.

She handled Wen Ping's funeral without grief, without resentment or resentment, looking at the cold corpse, she felt that this person was just a stranger, even though he was her father once, and his skull was hit in a car accident Cracked, but she watched coldly, showing no mercy.

Grandpa is old and avoids these things. Zhou Lin handles the details of the funeral. A middle-aged woman who is usually proud and inferior, would feel uneasy when encountering things, but now she has calmed down, probably because there is no relationship between husband and wife Seeing Wen Ping's little lovers coming to make trouble, he didn't have any mood swings, and dismissed them lightly without giving them a dime.

Wen Huaiyu was bored and left before the funeral was over, just in time to bump into Zhou Minchu.

Zhou Minchu described it as haggard, with red eyes, standing outside the cemetery without going in.

Wen Huaiyu had already heard Zhou Ran explain the whole story. It was Zhou Minchu who took the initiative to go to the company, saying that she had seen Wen Ping and Wen Ming use her private seal.Not only that, but she also knew that her father helped Wen Ming by providing him with a car and a fake passport.She is willing to testify.

"Why are you here?"

"Come and see my aunt. It's all right. I'll go first."

"Wait a minute," Wen Huaiyu called her, and said after deliberating, "Why did you help me?"

Zhou Minchu smiled: "I am not helping you. I hate you very much, don't you know? The person I hate the most is you... You are always high above, always so proud, and always the most dazzling one in the crowd. Why should I help you?"

"But you did help."

"That's what I pay you back!"

Zhou Minchu's mood fluctuated: "I'll give it back to you now. Okay, that's it. I know I'm in a mess now, my parents don't recognize me as a daughter anymore, you...you've seen enough of my jokes, Can I go?"

She regrets and does not regret it, she is the daughter of the Zhou family, but she betrayed her father, she is really the most unfilial child in the world... But she feels that she did nothing wrong, when Wen Ming bullied her... ...Only Wen Huaiyu helped her.

Wen Huaiyu paused for a moment, then slowly bent the corners of his lips: "Minchu, continue to work in the company tomorrow."

The girl was stunned with red eyes: "What?"

Wen Huaiyu smiled at her with an unprecedented gentle look: "If you want, you are yourself first, and then the daughter of the Zhou family. You can try it out and see what you like and what you can do. Compared with other people's eyes, you You can focus on your own growth and development first. If it is a good seed, it will quietly grow into a tree."

Zhou Minchu's expression was shaken, with bitterness in his brows and eyes, he shook his head stubbornly and painfully, turned around and ran away.

Looking at her back, Wen Huaiyu suddenly felt at a loss.

She can say such things to Zhou Minchu, but who can tell her what she should do.

Ji Yirou didn't answer her phone calls, and didn't reply to her messages. From Lu Zhiyuan, she asked her about her new home, but there was no one living there.She finishes handling things in the company during the day, and then drives downstairs and waits at night. The lights inside have never been turned on.

This person disappeared completely, as if he had never been here.

I don't know when it started to rain in the sky. She was wearing a long black coat, and she walked on the sidewalk with her hands behind her back. Her hair was covered with water droplets, dripping down her temples one by one.But her expression was still sober and rational, and suddenly hope was ignited again, and she dialed the number.

This time, the call was connected quickly.

Qingling's voice sounded: "Hello."

Wen Huaiyu stood in place, froze, her heart began to beat wildly, she licked her lips, she didn't know what to say for a while, so she fell silent.

The man waited for a few seconds and said softly, "Is it okay? I'll hang up if it's okay."

"Don't hang up!" Wen Huaiyu came back to his senses and called her loudly, "Don't hang up! Let's talk, don't hang up."

"Talk about what?"

"Can we talk in person?"

"Tell me something on the phone."

"You just...don't want to see me at all?"

Ji Yirou smiled slightly over there: "The divorce agreement has already been signed. Apart from going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the last procedure, is there still a need for us to meet?"

Wen Huaiyu paused for a moment: "I thought you wouldn't blame me... It's my way of handling things that made you sad. But calm down, let's meet once, shall we?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and the person let out a sigh of relief: "Next month."

With a beep, the phone hung up.

Ji Yirou only left these three words, Wen Huaiyu stood in a daze in the rain holding the phone, couldn't help thinking, maybe... maybe Ji Yirou doesn't like her anymore.

As soon as this idea came up, it started to grow crazily. She herself was frightened, and she couldn't help shaking her head vigorously, and said to herself: "Impossible...impossible...how could she not like me, how could she Don't like me..."

She couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it, so she bent the corner of her lower lip hard, smiled, and walked forward blankly.

I don't know how long I walked, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, she was soaked, and she walked into a supermarket with her arms folded, walked around the shelves several times, her eyes were not focused, and she didn't know what she was looking at. something.

Sometimes her footsteps pause unconsciously.

She likes this kind of yogurt... no, she likes it, that's why Ji Yirou often buys it.She likes to eat this kind of fudge, so Ji Yirou also eats it with her.

Memories came up bit by bit, she was like a drowning person, drifting aimlessly on the sea, but she was holding on to the driftwood and refused to let go.

She was in a daze, walking and stopping, such a proud and bright person, looking extremely embarrassed at the moment, the kind-hearted salesperson auntie took her by the elbow: "little girl, what's wrong with you?"

Wen Huaiyu shook his head stiffly, and his thoughts were awakened: "It's okay. Thank you."

She just didn't know where to go.

There have been countless times, no matter when she turned her head, Ji Yirou would stay where she was, smiling softly, watching her go.When they called, Ji Yirou would tell her to hang up first, and when chatting on WeChat, Ji Yirou always said: "Okay, don't reply to me."

But now, she finally understands the feeling of being left behind.

Day after day, night after night, in my dreams, I could occasionally dream of the person smiling at her under the spring sunshine, and subconsciously embrace the people around me while I was half asleep, but only held the coldness in my arms, so she woke up. Now, with my eyes open on the bed, I can no longer fall asleep, looking at the sky outside the window, it lights up bit by bit.

The enthusiastic aunt shook her head: "You young people, you just like to dig into the horns. I think you look very similar to my daughter when she lost her job. Go home and sleep well. Tomorrow will be a good weather and everything will be fine." Get better."

Wen Huaiyu managed to squeeze out a little smile, the coldness penetrated into every cell, her internal organs were trembling from the cold, she breathed out lightly, it was all cold: "Thank you, I'm going back."

The aunt nodded, and said that was the right thing to do. She watched this pretty girl go out, but she stopped a few steps before her footsteps suddenly stopped. Looking at the entrance of the supermarket, she froze in place.

So she followed her gaze and looked out, and it turned out that a pair of young people walked in.The man was tall and handsome, with a gentlemanly manner, and put away the umbrella he was holding.The girl is beautiful and attractive, but for some reason she is sitting in a wheelchair, and when she smiles, her eyebrows are so clean and beautiful that people can't move their eyes.

"What's the matter? You know... Hey, what's the matter with you, girl?"

Auntie saw the good-looking young couple, and couldn't help but start gossip. Only after she said a word, did she realize that the drenched young girl was biting her lip hard, trembling slightly, and the corners of her eyes were red.
