Have it?

Xiao Su tried his best to recall what Ding Tianyi said in the morning. After a long time, he vaguely remembered that he mentioned "other people said" in two sentences.

The first time he talked with Xiao Ran about his collapse, he said, "Others said that you intentionally tricked me and used me to bring down Qiaoyan. I still don't believe it. I just think it's a trap set by your brother."

The second time he made a move to Xiao Ran and rushed out by himself, he cursed viciously: "I still don't believe what others say, but I have seen it today, your family is really weird, one..."

The following words were too embarrassing, Xiao Su didn't want to recall, and only asked Rong Rui: "Is there any problem? Maybe it's his friend, partner, classmate or colleague..." When he said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong—from the reflection of these two sentences. Push, this "other" must have said a lot of bad things about Xiao Ran in front of Ding Tianyi, and probably brought the whole Xiao family with him.

Who would have such a deep prejudice against their family, it could even be said to be hatred?

How could there be such a person around Ding Tianyi?

"You also feel something is wrong?" Rong Rui said, "Based on these two sentences, there should be such a person by Ding Tianyi's side - he and Ding Tianyi can talk about everything, no matter it's the trivial matters of love. , or a major business matter. Moreover, he has a deep prejudice against your family and is likely to be very familiar with it."

Xiao Su couldn't help feeling a chill behind him: "Who could it be?"

Rong Rui spread his hands and said, "I'm going to ask you this, think about it carefully."

Xiao Su frowned and said, "Our family has always kept a low profile. Xiao Ran and I have never made enemies with anyone. My mother will inevitably offend others in the business field...The scope is too big. Business competition will inevitably win or lose. People's hearts are unpredictable. , who knows what the other party thinks?"

"That can only be considered from Ding Tianyi's side." Rong Rui said, "Does he have any close friends who are involved in his business, hate Xiao Ran, and have quarrels with your family?"

Xiao Su shook his head blankly: "How do I know, I have only met him a few times, and we have never spoken a few words, and I don't know anything about his social circle."

After thinking about it, I suddenly felt that this matter was a bit contradictory: "But, if this person is Ding Tianyi's close friend who talks about everything, then he can oppose him dating Xiao Ran and break them up from the very beginning, why wait for them to hurry up?" You're engaged, why are you suddenly blowing this kind of wind?"

"Two possibilities." Rong Rui deduced, "One, the two of them colluded, and Ding Tian had no good intentions when he got close to Xiao Ran at the beginning. Second, this person only met Ding Tianyi after they fell in love and became his close friend. Yes, so there is no way to disperse them in advance.”

Xiao Su suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Xiao Ran in the morning - until now Xiao Ran couldn't understand Ding Tianyi's changes, they were so nice at the beginning and Ding Tianyi was so gentle and careless, why did they become like this now?

Could it be this person who got in the way?

"Why do I think the second possibility is more likely." Xiao Su said hesitantly, "Judging from Xiao Ran's narration, Ding Tianyi changed a lot in the later period of the relationship. She is still lamenting this morning, saying that 'life is impermanent'."

Rong Rui said: "So what we are looking for is this kind of person - he only appeared in Ding Tianyi's social circle after Ding Tianyi and Xiao Ran dated for a while, but he became Ding Tianyi's friend in a very short time. close friends, even business partners. And he has a deep prejudice against Xiao Ran and the Xiao family. "

Xiao Su nodded silently, and murmured: "Who could it be..."

He knew nothing about Ding Tianyi, and only met a few times. The first time was when Xiao Ran took him home to meet his parents, the second time was when he met Rongrui in Longzhou by chance, and the third time was at Xiao Ran's birthday party. , the fourth time is this morning...

Suddenly, Xiao Su realized a very strange thing - he met Ding Tian one or four times in total, and saw another person at the same time twice.

No, exactly three times.

The first time was on the pedestrian street by the Longshui River, the second time was in the coffee shop of the shopping mall opposite the Hyatt Hotel in Longzhou, and the third time was this morning at the gate of the wine club.

Wherever Ding Tianyi appeared, there seemed to be another woman - Hong Ying.

"I saw someone this morning." Xiao Su said to Rong Rui, "Before Xiao Ran came, I saw someone sending Ding Tianyi over outside the window of the wine tasting room. The car was attached to Longzhou to take pictures..."

"Hong Ying?" Rong Rui guessed it immediately.

"Yes." Xiao Su said, "Although my guess is a bit groundless, the time when Ding Tianyi and Hong Ying met coincided with the 'mysterious man' we inferred just now—Ding Tianyi and Xiao Ran were together The relationship was confirmed in the summer of 2027, and at the beginning of 2028, he met Hong Ying at an IT economic forum, and a few months later, he had no time to acquire Xingyue Zhimei, and then he got the anti-aging injection project."

Rong Rui frowned in thought.Xiao Su continued: "In addition, Hong Ying also meets the other two conditions we deduced just now. First, she is Ding Tianyi's partner and should be very clear about his business affairs. Second, she can personally Sending Ding Tianyi here means that we have a good relationship with him, maybe we know that he came to negotiate with Xiao Ran today."

Rong Rui touched his chin and asked, "Then what enmity does she have with the Xiao family? You didn't know her before, did you?"

Xiao Su recalled the first time he saw Hong Ying on the Longzhou Pedestrian Street that day, hesitantly said: "Yes, I don't know her, but I think she knows me—remember the time we were with Ding Tianyi Does Longzhou eat grilled fish? That day I was standing on the side of the street and found someone looking at me, when I looked back, she immediately avoided... that person was Hong Ying."

"Oh?"

Xiao Su paused, and then said: "Strange, I had a very familiar feeling at that time, as if I had seen her somewhere, but I couldn't remember it... It was a very strange feeling, it seemed familiar, and I couldn't remember it... He also touched his chin subconsciously, and asked Rong Rui, "Did you investigate her later?"

"I only checked the basic information." Rong Rui said, "This woman is quite legendary. She is a Vietnamese with a poor family. There was a flood one year, and the whole family was killed. She was the only one left. About five years ago , She suddenly received an inheritance from the United States, it is said that some kind of relative of her grandfather in the last century made a fortune in the United States, and had no children, so she left millions of dollars to her."

Xiao Su heard it inconceivably, and there was such a thing as a windfall: "Then how did she come to China?"

"Investment and starting a business." Rong Rui said, "After inheriting the inheritance, she came to China to establish 'Flawless'. It should be more than four years now, and the business is tepid. Except for the anti-aging injection that I cooperated with Qiaoyan this time, there is no Something went wrong."

Xiao Su never thought that she was Vietnamese, and felt even more strange: "Then it is even more impossible for me to know her, I have never been to Vietnam. My mother has never done business with Vietnamese, and Fang and Wuxia do not exist." Competitive relationship...so why does she hate our family?"

Rong Rui shrugged and said, "Send her photo to Auntie, and let Auntie see if she recognizes her."

Xiao Su thought so, so he took out his mobile phone and sent Hong Ying's retouched picture on the official website, as well as the silhouette he took last time in Longzhou, to his mother.

Fang Huici was probably playing, but there was no reply. Xiao Su looked at his phone, and his chopsticks were unconsciously poking back and forth in the soy sauce dish. After a long time, Rongrui picked up a piece of braised abalone for him: "Don't worry, this is all brainstormed." Deduction, talk on paper, don’t know if it’s accurate, let’s eat.”

Xiao Su thought about it, and simply put down his phone and ate a big meal—if he still can't gain weight during the Chinese New Year, then Aunt Liu will probably have doubts about her career.

Even eating and chatting, more than two hours passed without knowing it, and when Rongrui finished clearing the dishes, the hour hand had already pointed to a quarter past ten.

It was snowing heavily outside, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness from the window.In this weather and at this time, Xiao Su was worried that he would go back to the hotel with his luggage, so he said: "It's late, the snow is so heavy, and the car is not easy to drive, so we should stay another night."

Rong Rui lowered his head to feed the king, and said naturally, "Okay."

Xiao Su looked at his tall and big back, and suddenly remembered what Xiao Ran said - he likes you so much, he will laugh when he hears your name.

Yeah?Have it?

A certain feeling that had been absent for a long time suddenly became clear. Xiao Su felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn't tell whether it was fear or annoyance. He turned around and didn't look at him as if evading, and said, "I'll play a game for a while, you If you're tired, take a shower and go to sleep."

"Well, okay." Rong Rui interacted with the king for half a minute in disgust, clapped his hands and stood up, "Do you want to turn up the floor heat? Did you sleep cold last night?"

Xiao Su's hands froze, and he suddenly remembered that he was afraid of the cold this morning, so he sneaked his feet into his bed... If he arrived at the club not long after he arrived, wouldn't it mean that he woke up almost at the same time as himself?

So he was pretending to be asleep then?

Awkward!It was the first time that he was found doing such a wretched thing... Xiao Su's face turned red, and he quickly switched the mobile game interface to a smart lighting system, turned off all the lights within a two-meter radius around him, and hid his feverish face. In the dark.

I was so nervous that my hands were shaking.

"It's, it's okay." Xiao Su pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay to turn it up."

"Oh." Rong Rui looked up at the light belt and said, "Brother, it's not good to play games with the lights off, it's easy to get glaucoma, so turn on a desk lamp."

"...Well, after this fight, I can't get out." Xiao Su hurriedly switched back to the game interface, the character had already died, and the light blue merman lay dead in the wilderness, trampled by the enemy, in a tragic state. Like his mood at the moment.

Rong Rui paused for a moment, then said: "Or don't adjust it up, in case I have another nosebleed, your bed will be ruined. Later you wake up in the morning - wow why am I lying in a pool of blood - how terrible ah."

He spoke with eloquence and emotion, and unexpectedly imitated Xiao Su's tone by seventy to eighty percent.Xiao Su stared at the game and couldn't help laughing.He also laughed, and sat beside Xiao Su: "Die so soon... What kind of game is this, let me play together?"

It's time for Xiao Su's resurrection, and the light blue merman rushed out waving a big golden fork: "Closed beta, you need an invitation code, this game hasn't opened public beta yet in China... It's called "The Great Wilderness", it was developed by my uncle's company .”

Aze is the invitation code sent to Xiao Su on New Year's Day. His company in the United States has been specializing in AR games for the past two years. This year, he plans to test the water in China. He has just released version 1.0 of "The Great Wilderness".

Xiao Su was not very good at playing games, so he lost after a while. He forwarded his invitation code to Rongrui and said, "My uncle Fang Huize is an AR engine maker. You have reviewed me, so you should know him?"

"Well, I know, I went abroad to study in 2016 and settled in the United States." Rongrui started to download the game, "His partner is named Wen Sen, who is also Chinese-American."

"Oh?" Even Xiao Su didn't know about this. Fang Huize had been abroad for 12 years, and at the beginning she kept in touch with him often. Later, she always said that she was busy with work, so she only sent him messages and gifts during the holidays.

Distance is a very cruel thing. No matter how deep the relationship is, it will become weaker and thinner after being separated by half the earth...

"Then do you know his girlfriend?" Xiao Su asked curiously, "My mother said that he might be getting married, and I haven't met my future aunt yet."

"Boyfriend?" Rongrui installed the game and said calmly, "Vincent is male."

"Huh?" Xiao Su was shocked.

Rongrui registered ID, met Xiao Su face to face and added friends: "Try to play a game?"

"Oh." Xiao Su came back to his senses and saw that there was an additional name in the friend list: Gregorio.

"?" Xiao Su felt that the name sounded familiar. After playing with him for a long time at the beginning, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration-Gregorio, isn't Hemingway the prototype of the fisherman in "The Old Man and the Sea"?

I play a shark, you name it a fisherman?

What do you mean?

The melancholy in Xiao Su's heart was turbulent, and Xiao Ran's crisp voice echoed in his mind—"Brother! Someone finally attacked you!"
