gentle fall

Zhou Ran is very active. On the third day, the new villa has been cleaned up and the furniture has been purchased. It is clean and bright, waiting for the arrival of the owner.

Wen Huaiyu walked around the villa, and pointed out some problems with the furniture decoration and room arrangement. Overall, he was satisfied.

Especially in the courtyard, there are two swings under the wisteria tree, and there is a small pond full of lotus flowers. In a few days, it will be completely summer, and it will stand gracefully.

In addition, there are some flowers scattered in the yard, such as peonies, jasmines, rhododendrons... and gardenias.

Two quiet gardenias, green and dark green leaves, hidden small and white buds, a little closer, it seems that you can smell a little faint fragrance, which is very comfortable.

Wen Huaiyu stood still, staring at the two gardenias, with displeasure in his eyes: "Zhou Ran, I don't like gardenias."

Zhou Ran had just checked the lights in the garage before walking into the yard and immediately said, "Okay Mr. Wen, I'll make arrangements right away."

Wen Huaiyu hummed lightly, and didn't make any other comments. Remembering that his coat and mobile phone were still on the sofa, he walked back, took his bag and went out, and saw that Zhou Ran had contacted a gardener, who had already arrived.

"Mr. Wen, if you have something to do, go first and leave it to me. Don't worry."

Wen Huaiyu nodded, took a few steps forward, and stood still again.

She heard Zhou Ran whispering to the gardener, asking him to remove the two flowers, and it is better to choose other plants, so as not to leave the place empty.

She heard the gardener say hello very cooperatively, and then he seemed to be flipping through his tool bag, and there was a sound of metal clashing, crisp and scattered.

"Wait," Wen Huaiyu turned her head. The gardener just started to loosen the soil nearby. Her voice was very soft and full of regret, "That's it. Don't move."

After speaking, she stepped on her high heels and walked forward without looking back.

……

Ji Yirou received a call from Chen Qi. In the evening, she said she had business to do and asked her to go out.

The two met in a coffee shop, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Sister Qi."

Chen Qi cheered: "Wow! Yirou, I have good news for you!"

"Ok?"

"Director Zeng promised to let you audition!"

Ji Yirou was startled for a moment, then he let out a sigh of relief: "Thank you, sister Qi."

Chen Qi was a little puzzled: "You don't seem very happy."

Ji Yirou shook her head: "No."

Chen Qi curled her lips: "It's because of that Miss Wen? Didn't you say that she told you to leave her house that day...why..."

Ji Yirou pursed her lips and smiled, that smile was a bit cold: "No. I'm not being told to leave now. It's because she's not coming back."

The result was still the same, she didn't want to see her.

Chen Qi blinked, as if she had thought of something, she lowered her head unnaturally: "Don't be too stubborn. Yirou, this is an opportunity I managed to get for you."

Ji Yirou hummed, she knew.

This opportunity is indeed rare and precious. You don't need to think about it to know that Chen Qi must have wasted a lot of time and energy in order to get her an audition opportunity.

For a long time, Chen Qi believed that she could be popular more than herself, so she spared no effort to pave the way for her and win opportunities for her, as if she tied the success or failure of the rest of her life to one person.

Chen Qi was a little worried: "Are you going to audition?"

Ji Yirou smiled faintly: "Of course."

Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, this is the Ji Yirou she knew, the Ji Yirou she knew was still so rational and calm, cruel to others, and even more cruel to herself.

What she didn't know was that when a rational and calm person is sad, it is more difficult than a hysterical person.

When sad, some people throw things and swear at others; some people yell; some people get drunk late at night.

Only the most rational and calm people will sit alone on the bed at night, their eyes are so deep that they lose their focus in the dark, listening to the sound of ticking hands, the night is terribly long.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky finally dawned.

A new day started again, Ji Yirou jumped out of bed, calmly, took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, took a few sips, and went for a run.

A week later, when Chen Qi came to pick her up for an audition, she was shocked and asked her why she had lost so much weight.

Ji Yirou smiled faintly as usual, and said nothing, but that's all for later.

……

Wen Huaiyu received a call from home, saying that Wen Yan was not in good health these days, and asked her to go back to accompany him.

It happened to be the weekend, and Wen Huaiyu put down the extra work, stood up, walked around the window a few times, and lightly tapped his shoulders to relieve the soreness caused by looking at the computer for a long time.

Standing on the 22nd floor and looking down, there are row upon row of urban buildings. The asphalt road is like the blood vessels of the city, stretching towards the distance. The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and it is summer.

While looking into the distance, she suddenly remembered a sentence she had seen occasionally before, saying that life is filled with nothingness, only feelings and work.

She couldn't help laughing, work is fulfilling, but as for feelings, it's complete nonsense.

The time was almost up, I explained a few things to Xiao Fang, packed up the documents waiting to be processed on the table, and then left the company.

Zhou Ran was already waiting, and when Wen Huaiyu got into the car, he saw that she was in a good mood, so he said: "Mr. Wen, Director Zeng gave an answer, saying that it was the role of the second female, and gave it to... Miss Ji."

Wen Huaiyu nodded noncommittally, and frowned slightly, the joyful expression before dissipated.

Zhou Ran complained in his heart, feeling that it was too difficult for him, and he had to reply to the errands assigned by the boss, no matter whether they were good or bad.But Mr. Wen didn't want to hear that Miss Ji's name, and seemed unwilling to have anything to do with her. He took the initiative to mention it, and he was looking for death.

Fortunately, Wen Huaiyu didn't intend to say any more, and drove the car all the way back to Wen's old house. She got out of the car, told him to pick her up on Sunday night, and then entered the old house.

Although Wen Yan still bears the name of the chairman, he is old after all. He served in the army in his early years, was injured on the battlefield, and left some old troubles. In recent years, he doesn't go to the company very often. will attend.

When Wen Huaiyu entered, Wen Yan was on the phone. The originally stern old man smiled happily at the moment: "Okay, old guy, it's been so many years that I only think of me. He's such a bad-tempered old thing. I've said it before." , didn't care about the things about the younger children..."

It sounds like an old friend of grandpa. With this tone, the two of them seem to have a good relationship. That's good too. Make more phone calls with old friends, make appointments for a walk, how boring you are at home.

She went upstairs, changed into a set of home clothes and came down, just as Wen Yan hung up the phone, he looked very happy and waved to her: "Have you had dinner yet?"

Wen Huaiyu went to his side and patted his shoulder: "No."

Wen Yan was very happy, and asked the servant to prepare a meal: "It just so happens that I didn't eat either. It's just the two of us at home, so feel free."

Wen Huaiyu didn't ask why the others weren't there, but he was very obedient, sitting next to Grandpa, peeling off the shells of the shrimp, and pushing the fresh and tender meat of the shrimp over.

The two of them said this at one time or another. In this kind of family, gossip seems a bit rare.

"Did brother call you?"

"He was beaten. It was said that the operation was done well. No one at home accompanied him there. This kid always laughed and said everything was fine."

Wen Huaiyu paused, inevitably feeling a little sad: "I'll call him later."

In the eyes of others, it looks like an excellent family, but in fact, the relationship between father and son is indifferent. The eldest brother is not close to his parents, and he respects his grandfather more than love. He is also indifferent to her younger sister. The only special thing is probably the New Year. That night, he gave her hazelnut biscuits.

He never had the slightest bit of malice towards her, but it wasn't towards her, it was towards everyone.

Gentle and calm, with calm eyebrows, there is no fault in his actions and words.

Such people are often the most feared.Compared with the violent and domineering second brother, she is actually more wary of this elder brother in her heart.

"Where's little aunt?"

Mentioning this unmarried daughter, Wen Yan snorted coldly: "I'm back in Australia. When I came back one night, my face was pale, as if I had lost my soul. Later, I said that there were still some business in Australia that I hadn't finished, so I went back for a while. trip."

"So suddenly?"

"Ah."

This topic made the old man extremely unhappy, so Wen Huaiyu didn't ask any more questions, but just talked about interesting things on weekdays, with a lively expression and loud laughter.

The two chatted for a long time before Wen Yan said with a smile: "Nannan, grandpa has a comrade in arms, a child from his family. How about arranging for you to meet?"

Wen Huaiyu thought that this was another young man who was going to arrange for her, so he said hesitantly: "Grandpa, is there a new blind date? I don't like men...I like girls."

Wen Yan looked at her seriously: "Grandpa knows. His kid is just a little girl."

Wen Huaiyu: "...I..."

"Grandpa knows more or less about your affairs, but he doesn't want to ask, and he doesn't want to interfere with you. I heard from your second brother a few days ago that you just broke up with a girl, and now you have no friends. It's just a meeting, nothing big matter."

Wen Yan has been in a high position for a long time, serious and upright, rarely speaking in such a slow voice, Wen Huaiyu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated: "Which family is it from?"

Wen Yan saw that she was loosening, and patted her palm with satisfaction: "My old friend... speaking of it, it was also a prominent family back then. I used to fight on the battlefield with my grandfather, and then I retired. , He is still in the army, the children in the family are doing well, and the company is running well, but the chairman died in a car accident a few years ago, and his grandfather's old friend has no interest in business affairs, so he has fallen into decline.

The old man's tone recalled the sadness and regret of the past. Wen Huaiyu listened quietly, and couldn't bear to refuse anymore, so he just said softly: "It's okay to meet each other. It's just that I've been busy recently, and it may take some time in the evening .”

When Wen Yan heard that she agreed, she was quite happy: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Add a WeChat first, and I will give you your contact information. You can chat with the little girl."

Wen Huaiyu didn't refuse anymore, just nodded slightly.

Isn't it just adding a wechat? That's fine. How many people can stand her when she speaks venomously?

I just hope that the little girl won't be made to cry by her anger!
