single stab

The school has not started yet, and there are only a few open in the backstreet.The employees of the milk tea shop concentrated on playing with their mobile phones on the table, and the only customer, Jiang Xue, sat in a seat in the back, looking in the direction of the door absent-mindedly.

Soon, Xie Meng ran in panting, full of apologies.

"Sorry, sorry, senior, I was almost late."

"nothing."

Jiang Xue pushed one of the cups of milk tea in front of him, looked at his depressed face with particularly obvious dark circles, and her tone became a little more serious.

"What happened? If there is anything I can do to help, you must tell me."

Xie Meng smiled wryly, his young face was full of dazed exhaustion, like a prey that was bound by a net and was unable to struggle, and his low tone was a helpless plea for help.

"Senior, my family is bankrupt."

Overnight, the rich and luxurious life has undergone earth-shaking changes.In fact, my father's company had a lot of problems because of investment failures before, but my father concealed these very well, and still gave Xie Meng a lot of money generously, saying that he should not wrong himself, and Xie Meng continued to be a happy little girl without realizing it. The prince just found out that the time his father stayed in the company to work overtime became longer and longer.

But after being cheated out of all the money by the partner this time, the company was finally unable to sustain itself.The original magnificent villas, numerous cars, and the driver butler who had served Xie Meng for a long time were all gone. Xie Meng and his parents moved into a rented ordinary private house. The environment there was something he had never seen before. Not only do you have to live with many strange and noisy people, but you also have to endure the sudden appearance of insects in the house and the unpleasant smell in the building.

Xie Meng was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, but his temperament is not as arrogant as the son's brother at all. Because he knew the difficulties and difficulties in the hearts of his parents who suddenly became old, he tried his best to adapt to the gloomy life when he suddenly fell from the clouds to the mud, pretending that he didn't hear what happened in the middle of the night. Parents sighed in the vicissitudes of life, and secretly tried their best to make money during the day.

He has never taken the subway before, never eaten at a roadside stall, and never worked part-time. He lived a carefree life happily but didn't know it. Now that Fang has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, he realizes how difficult life is.

He doesn't expect to go back to the original, but just hopes to make life a little bit better than it is now, so that his parents who are over half a century old can live a stable life, instead of borrowing money with a low eyebrow and a smiling face just to let He lives more comfortably.

After introducing Tong Tong's part-time job to Xie Meng, Jiang Xue left the milk tea shop with a heavy heart.He didn't expect Xie Meng to be in such a state of desperation now, and he inevitably had mixed feelings, but there was very little he could do to help.

Absently thinking that maybe he could remind Xie Meng to apply for a scholarship after school started, he unknowingly walked on the way back to the apartment.As soon as he walked around the corner, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person coming from the direction of the apartment. The person lowered the brim of his hat to reveal a beautifully shaped jaw. He was talking on the phone with one hand in his pocket and the other in a low voice. Perfunctory.

"...I know I know, I'm rushing over now....You don't care where I am! I just want to find someone....Okay, I won't be late if I say I won't be late, you bother me Don't bother...."

When passing by Jiang Xue, he glanced over subconsciously, but stopped abruptly, staring directly at the pure black bone chain on Jiang Xue's fair collarbone under the brim of his hat, and smiled inexplicably.

"You have a beautiful chain."

Jiang Xue's bone chain was given to him by Li Zheng not long ago. He said it was a gift brought back from Germany. Jiang Xue didn't understand these things, but he just accepted it because he thought it looked pretty.

He didn't know that it was specially made by Li Zheng, and he didn't know that this string of bone chains was actually a pair. Li Zheng lied that there was only one string because he was afraid that he would not accept it after he knew it. How coveted half of the bone chain.

The man didn't intend to wait for Jiang Xue's answer, and continued to make a phone call after he finished speaking, but his tone was much colder than before, as if his mood suddenly became extremely bad after being stimulated by something.

Jiang Xue stood in place, the blood in her body seemed to be congealed inch by inch.

That person's voice was the strange voice next to Li Zheng during the call on New Year's Day.

When the knock on the door came, Li Zheng strode over to open the door with a sullen face, and said impatiently.

"Are you finished..."

After seeing Jiang Xue with a calm face outside the door, his words stopped abruptly, as if he had been cut off by life, his face changed slightly, and he quickly and quickly pulled Jiang Xue into the door with a nonchalant smile.

"Daughter-in-law, why didn't you bring the key when you knocked on the door today?"

"kindness."

Jiang Xue's faint voice was as hard as dried things that had been exposed to the sun.

Li Zheng graciously knelt down to help him change his slippers, Jiang Xue stared down at the circle of hair above his head, pursed her thin lips into a straight line, then walked straight past him into the study, and slammed the door.

Li Zheng: "..."

He walked in anxiously, asking Ai Ai expectantly.

"What's the matter with you, daughter-in-law, why are you unhappy?"

There was no trace of outsiders visiting the house, but judging from the inexplicably hostile passers-by and Li Zhengfang's strange behavior, something really happened.

And Li Zheng didn't want him to know.

Jiang Xue read the book intently, but actually couldn't read a single word.It was as if there was a hard and rough wire wrapped around his heart, and then he pulled it hard, and he felt a suffocating discomfort, even sad, as if he knew that the other party was lying, but he still had to pretend not to know, Yin Yin and others Let the other party take the initiative to explain frankly.

Why lie.

Li Zheng lied so naturally, could he have lied to him before?Those words, words of sincerity, words of sincerity, were they lying?Which ones are true and false?

Like a colorful paint bottle being knocked over suddenly, what seemed to surge up in his heart was disbelief, suspicion, anger, sadness, or other messy emotions that he couldn't bear, which made people brood.

The fingertips pinching the pages of the book were so hard that they turned white, Jiang Xue avoided Li Zheng's sight and said coldly.

"I want to read a book, you go out."

Li Zheng hesitated for a while, then patted his head reluctantly.

"Then read carefully, I'll cook, and I'll call you when I'm done."

After the door was closed, Jiang Xuewu was in a daze for a long time. He didn't want to be suspicious like a resentful woman, so he forced himself to divert his attention and turned on the computer to check on Xie Meng's affairs.

The news of the bankruptcy of the Xie family company is indeed as Xie Meng said, but the facts are more serious than what he knew from his parents. The Xie family even owes huge foreign debts now.

Thinking of Xie Meng, who was shrouded in sorrow, Jiang Xue felt very uncomfortable, even when she was eating, she was a little absent-minded. Li Zheng put several chopsticks dishes in his bowl, and when he saw that he hadn't noticed it, he kicked him lightly in displeasure chair.

"What do you think, daughter-in-law, why don't you talk to me."

Jiang Xue didn't intend to tell him about Xie Meng, it had nothing to do with him, but when he looked up at Li Zheng who was aggrieved, a fact that had been ignored all of a sudden rushed in front of him dizzily.

His face changed slightly, and he asked after a few seconds of silence.

"What's the name of your brother's company?"

Li Zheng looked at him in surprise. They met in Li Duan's company at the beginning, which led to a series of entanglements afterwards. Therefore, Jiang Xue always had a strong rejection of Li Duan's company and even Li Duan. They also avoided talking about it, but now Jiang Xue suddenly brought it up.

Li Zheng looked at his slightly frowning expression, and his heart tightened, thinking that he was going to settle old scores with him, so he murmured anxiously.

"...Shengli Company, daughter-in-law, why are you asking this?"

The moment she heard the answer, the chopsticks in Jiang Xue's hand suddenly touched the porcelain bowl, making a crisp sound, which immediately pushed Li Zheng's nerves into the most tense state.

"What's wrong?!"

Seeing his overly nervous expression, Jiang Xue was startled, but couldn't help but smile.

"What are you afraid of? I'm just asking casually."

The heart in Li Zhengxuan's throat was immediately relieved, and he couldn't help but bring food for him with a happy smile, and politely advised him to eat more.Jiang Xue bowed her head to pick up the rice in answer, but her heart was heavy.

Sure enough, it was Li Duan who bought Xie Meng's father's company.

In fact, even if he knew the twists and turns, Jiang Xue couldn't do anything. He didn't plan to use his relationship with Li Zheng to ask Li Duan for anything. If he could, he even hoped that he would never see him again for the rest of his life. The indifferent man who was both ruthless and majestic in the hospital that day was understated.

But after thinking about it again and again, he still vaguely told Xie Meng about this matter, he just said that a classmate he knew in Shengli Company was employed, and asked Xie Meng if there was anything he needed to help.

Xie Meng was disheartened and politely refused at first, but before he hung up the phone, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and eagerly asked Jiang Xue if he could contact that classmate and let him meet the president of Shengli Company.

From his increasingly depressed mood, Jiang Xue guessed that he must have known about Xie's family's foreign debts. After a moment of hesitation, he agreed to Xie Meng.

After turning off the lights, Jiang Xue lay on the bed tossing and turning sleeplessly.Li Zheng was sleepy and drowsy at first, but he noticed his rare appearance of being preoccupied, so he pulled himself together and asked what was wrong.

Jiang Xue, who was lying on her side, lowered her head slightly, and glanced at him when she heard the words, but said nothing.

Li Zheng's eyesight was very good, and he could clearly see the entanglements and troubles on his face in the dark bedroom, as if he was very embarrassed about something he was about to say.

His heart felt soft all of a sudden, he lowered his head and leaned towards Jiang Xue's cheeks with his warm breath, murmuring coaxingly.

"Come on, tell me, is there anything you can't tell me?"

Jiang Xue was itchy from the heat so close at hand, she shrunk her face slightly, hesitated for a while, and then hesitated to say what she promised Xie Meng.After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Li Zheng might misunderstand, so he added dryly.

"It's just a meeting, if it's inconvenient, forget it."

Li Zheng also knew about Xie Meng's existence. He was a little jealous because he cared so much about another person, but when he saw Jiang Xue pursing his lips nervously and looking at him wetly, he couldn't help feeling numb and joking. He hooked Gou Jiangxue's chin.

"Kiss me and promise you."

A blush appeared on Jiang Xue's face, and she said "forget it" angrily, then turned her back to him, only her hairy head was exposed under the bulging blanket.

Li Zheng was hit hard in the heart by his inexplicable cuteness, his heart missed a beat, and his heat surged.He cheekily leaned over to hug Jiang Xue, rubbed his chin against the back of his neck, and there was obvious burning in his joyful laughter.

"All right, all right, just get angry with me if something big happens, if you don't kiss me, I'll kiss you."

The strong body that was caught off guard and the hotness that boiled up quickly in the pitch-black made Jiang Xue's voice reveal a bit of embarrassment, and she hurriedly hid beside the bed in a panic.

"I'm not angry! You are not allowed to kiss me!"

When he was about to fall off the bed, Li Zheng grabbed him with his long arms and stuffed him full into his arms. The sound of his chaotic breathing was full of sticky pampering and love.

"Okay, okay, if I don't kiss you, I'll lick you."

"you!..."

The exasperated and angry voice was blocked in the suddenly lingering night, and gradually became indistinct.
