Tender Trap
First Love, Old Love, New Love
As a delicate and soft white lotus flower,
Xu Huan, the helmsman of the Xu family, is too hard to gnaw.
I decisively chose his playboy nephew.
In order to marry into the rich and powerful family as soon as possible, I deliberately pretended to be drunk and hooked up with the school grass, which made him jealous and guilty.
But unexpectedly, the person who received the call to pick me up was the cold-hearted helmsman.
“How about I help you sober up, Miss Chiang?”
I have lived a rich life for seventeen years. As a result, he returned to the pre-liberation period.
And all this is because my father, who works in finance, was dragged by his company to be the scapegoat.
He was an honest man, and he didn’t dare to tell my sick mother the truth, so he went to borrow the net loan by himself.
I have a vague feeling that there is a problem, and the attitude of the people around us has changed sharply. On the day
I got my college acceptance letter, my father invited close relatives and friends to celebrate.
According to the rules of my hometown, the child’s entrance banquet is to give a red envelope. The favor he once sent should be enough for my tuition and living expenses in the first year.
But unexpectedly, no one came, and two tables of food and wine were set up in vain.
It was almost ten o’clock, the oil was congealed, and there was no one.
My dad started drinking on his own until his eyes were red. After paying the bill, he said he wanted to go out for a walk.
I was afraid he couldn’t get over it, so I followed him.
He walked for a long time with a bent back to the downtown location, which is now the location of his new company.
He stopped a car at the exit and knelt down without saying anything.
Looking discomfited and pitiful, he said that his violation was Lao Yan’s arrangement, for the company, and that he was living a hard life now, that he had no money to buy a cemetery for his wife, and that his children would soon go to college and would not be able to live.
When he’s done. A cold voice came from the car.
“Oh, aren’t you living well now?” The man in the
car raised his hand, and a security guard came over, kicked him over and dragged him rudely to the other side. The vegetables in the packing box
my dad was carrying were scattered all over the floor, and he began to cry as he picked them up. On the way
back, my dad “accidentally” fell into the river. After the
accident insurance compensation came down, I paid off all the arrears, and only a few of them became my rations.
I went to school with my father’s blood and sweat.
He did what he could for me, and I’m going to do what I can for him. I won’t spare any of the people who
forced him to die. In the summer vacation of my
sophomore year, I found a part-time job in the coffee shop under the office building.
Soon, as I wished, I met my father’s former superior, Manager Yan, who was in his forties, well-dressed and successful. The coffee
I gave him was replaced by a large cup, which caught his attention. He was supposed to take it away, but he finished it in the coffee shop. Seeing me busy, he came over and ordered another order.
I smiled and said that you have a bad stomach, drinking too much iced coffee is not good, it is better to change to a hot drink, he readily agreed, and asked me how I knew he had a bad stomach.
I said that when he came to buy coffee last week, he covered his stomach and hurried to work in the morning, so he must not have time to eat.
Old Yan’s eyes lit up slightly. Look at me again, it’s a little meaningful. He touched the back of my hand when he
took the milk tea.
I didn’t hide. I just pretended to be shy and turned my eyes away.
Three days later, with the help of Lao Yan, I entered the Tiansheng Company where my father worked before as an intern.
I heard that he personally sent the information to the general manager’s office to open the back door. The successful acquisition
of Tiansheng Company could not be separated from the “hard work and cooperation” of Tiansheng’s old financial staff. But in the end, everyone else was promoted, and only my honest father became the scapegoat. He took the blame and left his job, and even paid compensation.
Old Yen is now in the ascendant, and he always says, “People should cherish their feathers and reputation.”.
wait for me to strip your hair.
As an intern in the General Department, I quickly wrote down the password of the personnel system, but I could not find my father’s past information when I logged in.
I heard that it was a system upgrade, and some information was lost.
It happened that two boxes of financial data were accidentally damaged when they moved. It’s my dad’s part, too.
What a coincidence.
The interns were all doing chores, and my “simplicity and loveliness” soon won everyone’s favor.
Especially Lao Yan. Apparently,
he thought that his image as a “mature man” had attracted a young girl who was not familiar with the world, and he was reluctant to invest in it, so he bought me a bunch of fake bags and clothes as gifts. On the day of the
company’s summing-up meeting, I changed into a uniform protocol cheongsam, put on light makeup, and Lao Yan’s eyes were bright. When the
departments were reporting on their work, Lao Yan came out to drink water halfway, and I deliberately waited for him on his way back. As soon as
he came over, I looked at him innocently. There was no one around. Behind me was the general manager’s office. No one would come. Sure enough, at the moment when
he was touched by my finger, he could not resist pushing me into the general manager’s office.
I just reached out and hooked his neck a little bit, and his body reacted.
He pushed me to sit on the sofa with a smile on his face and put his hand over my knee. I didn’t move. His hand moved slowly.
“Goblins.”
He scolded, but smiled, and the hand holding my zipper trembled, and the zipper, which had already loosened, suddenly cracked completely.
At that moment, I burst into tears.
Old Yan was stunned. I looked at him with a sneer, but I cried louder and louder.
Finally, the male colleague who broke into the house put his coat on me, and a female colleague slapped Lao Yan in the face. The sound
of cursing, angry scolding, and fighting completely overwhelmed the sophistry of the stunned Old Yan.
I just shed tears, and I don’t need to say anything. Everyone
is on my side. When
Lao Yan left in a mess, I threw the fake bags and clothes he gave me without taking off the tag on him.
He was so humiliated that he reached out and tried to hit me, but the security guard took him away.
I hung my head and wept, and my sister comforted me in a gentle voice.
Rotten people, every day people should cherish their own feathers and reputation, but they are such a ghost, disgusting. He will definitely be punished.
Punishment? That’s not enough. Just then
, the general assistant said that the general manager wanted to see me. This general manager was Xu Huan, the new boss of the acquisition company that my father asked for that day.
I’m coming.
Xu Huan is not very old, but his heart is very cruel. I heard that he still grabbed his brother’s position to dominate the family business. I’ve
been here a month. I’ve seen him three times. One coffee, two files. When he delivered coffee the day before
the summing-up meeting, he took a sip and said he didn’t want sugar.
I took a sip from the cup and said, “But it’s delicious.”
Xu Huan looked up and glanced at me.
“Really.” I looked at him innocently.
His eyelashes are thick and his eyes are deep.
I held the cup and kissed him directly. There were people coming and going in the corridor outside. When there was a knock on the door, I said I was in love for a moment, and he was expressionless and did not pursue it any more. It happened the
next day.
When I entered the general manager’s office, he sat in his chair, his fingers crossed, and looked at me in his spare time.
I sat down in a chair in front of the desk, separated from him by a large desk. There are pictures of him and his family on
his desk. My
eyes fell on the photo and I immediately wrote it down. This is the talent brought by the study of liberal arts. I will help you pay
your salary until the end of the month. Have a good rest at home tomorrow.
This is a disguised dismissal.
In this case, I was the perfect victim. The cameras in the corridors of the office area showed that I was innocent and forced.
It’s really cold-blooded. I thought he would comfort me first.
“I just want what I deserve.” I bit my lip.
His eyes fell on my lips.
There was just the right amount of Rouge, together with my shoulder-length short hair and reddish eyes, which made me look pitiful.
Xu Huan looked at me for a moment and leaned back in the class chair behind him.
Don’t push your luck. Yan Jun is lustful and bold. But you’re not simple either-freshly painted nails. He laughed. “It’s on the back of his neck.”. It’s hard to believe that you were forced to take that position.
He is really careful, and he is really a ruthless man.
I thought the kiss yesterday had some effect.
I said, “I don’t understand what General Manager Xu said, but if this incident goes online, it will definitely have a bad impact on the company.”
Xu Huan thought for a second and chose to be expelled.
Now that he’s been fired, at least in this industry, no one will use him, and half of his life’s accumulation has come to naught. Is that enough to vent your anger?
Not enough. I called his wife anonymously when I
came in. She should be downstairs by now. I
let go of a model I was playing with, stood up on the table, my body was a little weak, shook slightly, and the coat on my shoulder rolled down one side, half on my arm.
I stood up and walked directly outside, and suddenly his voice came from behind me.
“It won’t happen again. Take a couple of days off and come back to work.”
This is a relief.
But I have a new plan now. In the corner of the coffee shop downstairs by the window,
I watched Lao Yan being beaten in a mess. After
seeing his plea to Xu Huan’s car window was fruitless, he shouted abuse and scolded Xu Huan for tearing down the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey. He abandoned him for a small bitch, saying that if it weren’t for his suggestion, they could easily fill such a big hole?
The security guard drove away Lao Yan.
Xu Huan’s car drove past the cafe, the window slowly lowered, the people inside turned to look at my position, I did not dodge, carrying coffee, smiling and drinking again.
Is it enough to vent your anger? It’s not enough. It’s just the beginning of the show.
I went back to school and changed my mobile phone number.
After a long time, one day I suddenly received a call from the personnel department of Tiansheng Company in my dormitory, asking me about the current situation, saying that there was a new internship vacancy, would you consider the past? After graduation, you can sign a tripartite agreement to become a full member.
I laughed and said I had the wrong number. The HR manager
over there was stunned for a moment and said that it shouldn’t be. That’s the name. The photos are right one by one.
I have been working in Tiansheng for less than two months, and all the addresses and contact information are false. It took a lot of thought to call
this phone to my dormitory.
But Xu Huan this hard bone is too difficult to gnaw, I still choose his soft rib. When I was about to graduate from
university, I met my parents with Xu Jiaci, a famous playboy in the department.
He has been spoiled since childhood, and he is the only child in his family.
His mother was no match for him, and he was convinced by a little noise and agreed to our relationship. Probably thought it was just a relationship anyway.
Xu Jiaci likes my face, my grades and my innocence again.
He said that I was the only girl he had ever seen who was so beautiful and had such a clean record of opening a room, and that I was the only girl he had ever seen who was so beautiful and had to do the hard work of supermarket promotion.
Nonsense, if I didn’t know he would go to that supermarket to buy things, his house outside the school is next to that supermarket, how could I waste half a day painting nude makeup and work hard there to promote sales. I knew what I was doing before
I met Xu Jiaci.
He loves to play, live in the flowers, hate control and calculation, he thought he spent a lot of energy to catch up with me, and cherish me very much.
But I didn’t know that I had carefully studied those encounters and the right meeting, as well as the appearance he liked.
I’m going to find a way to finalize the marriage when he graduates, and then meet all his parents.
It’s just a little unexpected. It’s a little early. Xu Jiaci and I were eating in a restaurant
that day. In the middle of the meal, his phone rang suddenly. He picked it up and looked around, then raised his hand to the other side.
I followed his gaze and saw his little uncle, my former boss, Xu Huan, who hugged him intimately in the photo.
Xu Huan was dressed formally tonight, and his female companion was dressed well. His eyes turned from his nephew Xu Jiaci to me.
Xu Jiaci was busy introducing my identity, so I looked at Xu Huan and smiled softly. “So it’s Miss Chiang?”
He said. “Do you know each other?” Asked
his female companion.
Xu Huan said, “I happened to hear from my sister-in-law that Chia-tsu had a very beautiful girlfriend named Chiang.”
This is a whitewash. Xu Jiaci’s mother hates me and wants to die. It is estimated that she scolds me for being a fox and a bitch. After a
few pleasantries, Hsu Huan and his female companion were about to leave when Hsu Chia-tsu said to me, “This is my little uncle I told you about, the one I showed you on the cover of the magazine last time.”
I shook my head and pretended to be stupid. “Well, I don’t remember.”
Hsu Chia-tsu pinched my face and smiled: “That’s right. You’re face blind. I guess you can’t remember anyone else except me.”
Xu Huan’s pace slowed down for a moment. Coming out
of the restaurant, I decided to take advantage of Xu Jiaci to speed up the progress of marriage.
According to the schedule, Xu Huan should be about to expose me, race against time, I plan to get things done the day after tomorrow. When
Xu Jiaci was at the top, he was usually drunk, jealous and guilty.
So I agreed to the class monitor’s invitation to the high school reunion this Friday.
It happened that Xu Jiaci had a dinner party that could not be turned down on Friday. His cousin, who grew up with him, returned to a city after studying abroad. It must be another night of revelry. There are many beauties
at the scene, and Xu Jiaci won’t want me to go with him.
On Friday afternoon, I dawdled in the dormitory, changed my clothes carefully, did not wear jewelry, only tied up my curly hair with a headband, and met two school girls when I went downstairs.
I heard them say, “That’s Jiang Zhennan. She’s very beautiful.”
Such comments have long been accustomed to, the beauty of the young body is always doubled, but everything is just a flash of fireworks.
I took a taxi to a city for two hours, and more people came to the reunion tonight than I expected. As soon as
I appeared at the door of the private room, I heard the noise inside.
“It was said that you would come, but they did not believe it.” The old monitor came over first, looked at me and smiled, and pointed me to the reserved position.
I recognized the boy next to my seat. He was a cool straight a student. It seemed that he had signed a good job now.
His face was somewhat red with wine.
I went and sat down quietly.
As usual is the old classmate, as usual is the cup touch, as usual is the vague show off and quietly test, we talk about youth, talk about the future, but also harmonious.
I sipped the wine and controlled my drinking capacity, and Xueba blocked a few drinks for me.
“That’s right. I’ve had too much to drink. After a while, my boyfriend will be worried.” The monitor said with a smile, and the straight A student immediately looked at me.
I pinched the time and ignored their temptations. I just put my hand to my forehead and said, “I’m a little dizzy.”. I don’t want to drink anymore.
I needed the right tipsy, so I called Xu Jiaci back while I was in the bathroom. Sure enough, he asked me why I didn’t answer the phone. There was a lot of noise, like I was still at the drinking party.
I said I was dizzy and asked him to pick me up later.
He immediately got a little angry. “Have you been drinking?”
I’m a bad drinker in his heart, and he knows it. There was a noisy background sound from the
mobile phone and the laughter of the young girl.
“Aren’t you drinking, too?”
I said and hung up the phone directly. I knew that Xu Jiaci would always come. When I
came out, everyone was still proposing the next activity. Xueba walked beside me and said, “I’ll take you back.”
I turned to look at him, and his eyes burned.
“No, my school is in B city. I can just take a taxi back.” I held my head down and shook it.
He put his hand on me, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a car coming straight ahead. I looked up and smiled gratefully at him. “It’s too far. Don’t bother.”
The straight a student immediately said, “I have a car, so it’s no trouble.” As we
spoke, a car stopped in front of us. The students
outside stood in twos and threes, quietly looking at the car logo, then the license plate number, eyes complex and envious, and then the driver got out of the car, first called me, Miss Jiang.
I looked at the back window, which was not open.
I secretly wondered that the driver was Xu’s driver, but the car was not Xu Jiaci’s car.
Did you deliberately change this car to demonstrate?
It’s what Xu Jiaci can do.
So it seems that today’s thing is one more point.
I got in the car, but I stayed for a while. It was not Xu Jiaci who sat on the
bus, but Xu Huan, Xu Jiaci’s little uncle. The two brothers of the Xu
family, Xu Jiaci’s father is not a matter of support, the real head of Xu’s group is the little uncle that Xu Jiaci hangs in his mouth.
Said to be uncle, in fact, the age difference between the two of them is only a few years, but it is a completely different feeling.
Xu Huan has a faint smell of wine.
I sat up straight. With his
cuffs loosely rolled, he raised his hand to signal the driver to set off and explained to me, “Jiaci has had too much to drink. Let me pick you up.”
They were just together?
I smiled quietly. “Thank you, Mr. Xu.”
He smiled. “You’re welcome, Miss Chiang.”
I looked at the driver, wondering if I should pretend to be drunk and fool him first, but I found that the road was a little wrong.
“Why, this doesn’t seem to be the way back to school.”
Xu Huan said, It’s too late to go back. Take a rest in a city tonight.
I leaned against the window and pretended, “Oh, no. It’s Friday. The instructor has to check the bed.”
“Leave of absence.” He said.
I reached out to press a little window, the wind outside blew in, blowing slightly curly hair wrapped around the neck, I reached out to pull the hair on my face, but more messy, I had some helplessness to hum.
Xu Huan leaned over, crossed his arm over my leg, and closed the window.
“If you drink, you can’t blow. You’ll vomit.”
The flickering street lights flashed past us, and I knew where I was now, and the new lipstick when I left just aggravated the restless part of my temperament.
I looked at him and said, “I have to get rid of the smell of wine. If Jiaci knows I drink, he will be angry.”
He said, “Listen to him.”
I smiled at him, “Yes.”. We’re going to get married. The driver is in the front. He won’t talk nonsense.
The car passed through the city center and headed for the villa area in the west of the city.
This villa area is very close to the new house my father bought, but unfortunately the house has been taken back because of the default.
When the villa arrived, the car stopped and he pointed out the location of the guest room to me.
“Jiaci will come tomorrow.” It
won’t wait until tomorrow. After midnight at the most.
My WeChat in Xu Jiaci’s account cloud synchronization, today’s new WeChat greetings, as well as the photos of the circle of friends are enough for Xu Jiaci.
I’m trying to figure out if I should give him more power.
I kicked off my shoes, walked into the guest room barefoot, and took my pajamas to take a shower.
Xu Jiaci’s phone rang, but I didn’t answer.
When I came out after washing, I found Xu Huan standing at the door.
He held up the phone in his hand. “Jiaci said your phone couldn’t get through.”
I walked over, picked up the phone, and my half-wet hair hung down and began to drip. There was a lot of noise on the
phone. Xu Jiaci probably covered the phone with his hand. His voice was much louder: “Where are you now? Have you really been drinking?”
I am a little angry, hum: “You also drank?”? The governor. “I can’t leave,”
said Hsu Chia-tsu. “I haven’t seen my cousin for a long time, so I can only drink a little.” “Female cousin,”
I said with a slight pout.
Xu Jiaci likes me, but it doesn’t stop him from chasing other young and interesting girls.
Xu Jiaci laughed on the phone. He talked about the dinner party and said that he couldn’t leave now. Let me have a good rest. Then he came to me.
At that moment, Xu Huan suddenly stretched out his hand. I looked up. He was covering my head with a slightly sliding towel, wrapping his dripping hair so that the water would not flow down his neck into his collarbone and deeper. The cool
fingers fell on my neck, and there was a layer of goose bumps, but his hand did not let go immediately.
Had it not been for his expressionless face, I would even have felt that Xu Huan was seducing me. Closer
, the smell of alcohol on his body became more and more obvious, even stronger than in the car.
“Too much to drink?” I looked up at Xu Huan, this sentence is not only asked on the phone, but also asked him.
I wasn’t sure what kind of medicine he was selling. I thought he would warn me, scold me, or throw out a harsh check like in the TV series, asking me to leave his nephew or the Xu Group.
But he suddenly lowered his head and kissed me directly.
Young body, quiet night, just the right atmosphere and slightly spreading bath aroma.
His fingers went into my hair and clasped the back of my head, and his other hand broke the phone that was still talking.
Xu Huan and Xu Jiaci are completely different, even kissing.
He was well-dressed and hypocritical not only in his condescension to my father, but also in his concern for his nephew.
I stepped back and hit the wall, my wet hair hanging down on my polished shoulders.
His cell phone was ringing, and his name was Xu Jiaci.
I turned my head sideways. “Won’t Mr. Hsu answer?”
He glanced at me, held his breath, and reached for the phone.
“Jia Ci.” On the other side of the
phone was Hsu Chia-tsu’s voice: “Uncle, just now the signal was cut off–Li Mian and the others were bored to death, and they insisted that you come over.”
Hsu Huan’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly: “I’m going home.”
Home? Which one? The one in A-town? Xu Jiaci seemed a little surprised.
I turned around, the distance between each other was too close, and when I looked up, my breath was close. I reached out my hand, pressed Xu Huan’s beating carotid artery, and wiped off the water droplets on it.
Xu Huan hummed lightly and looked down at me. His eyes were black and lustful, cruel and cold.
I looked at him innocently, Xu Jiaci’s voice on the phone was still saying something, Xu Huan had turned his head and kissed me again.
The phone did not hang up, and no one spoke again.
But ten seconds later, my cell phone rang.
As soon as I got through, I was tender to Xu Jiaci.
Jiaci, I’m here. Well, I was washing my hair just now. When will you come over. I miss you
Xu Huan suddenly pinched my waist with one hand, making me almost cry out in pain.
Then he let go of his hand and left.
In the middle of the night, I slept just right and was woken up from the bed. Xu Jiaci, with fresh water vapor and a faint smell of alcohol, put his face on my face.
I didn’t want to open my eyes, so he pinched my chin and started kissing me.
I had to push him away.
“Are you angry?” His hands were hooked around the shoulder straps of his pajamas. Last night, everyone was at my cousin’s place, and my little uncle opened a new bottle of good wine, which was a bit on the head. It won’t happen again.
I turned my head and saw that my mobile phone had changed its position. I think he had finished looking through it.
Don’t look over your head with an angry expression: “You can do whatever you want. I don’t care.”
“If you can manage it, how can you not?” Moving his hand down, he lowered his head and sniffed my shoulder, like a puppy. “Smell it. There’s no smell of alcohol now. This shower gel smells very good. Hey, what’s this?”
I was startled and tried to push him away. His voice was nasal and coquettish. “Little Nan, I think you can marry me. From now on, you’re the only one who can take care of it.”
I pouted and frowned at him quietly and did not answer, but my body no longer refused his proximity.
His hand pinched my half-naked shoulder, and his other hand grabbed my scattered hair and kneaded it in the palm of his hand.
But the door was still ajar.
“Wait a minute.” I called softly. “What’s the matter?”
He gasped.
“Door.” I say.
Hsu Chia-tsu laughs, “Uncle can’t peek, and even if he does, so what..” The words
behind him could not be heard clearly, and his voice and body went down together. The carefully woven conversations in
my mobile phone WeChat, the talks about marriage and future plans, the so-called hesitation about my relationship with Xu Jiaci, must have been read by him, all for this moment.
All the breakups that have taken risks and tried to restrain their greed are worth it. The
subtle mood accompanied by the pleasure of a young body made me close my eyes slightly.
In a trance, as if someone had passed by the door.
Probably Xu Huan.
The diamond single, who was once well rumored in Tiansheng, is handsome, young and rich.
He is a blue chip stock in the eyes of all unmarried girls.
Now, he is the little uncle who hates me and spits on me but can’t do anything to me.
I raised the corners of my mouth, put my hand around Xu Jiaci’s neck, and approached him: “Jiaci, I want to change to the investment department of the group.”
He muttered the same words as Old Yan, “evil spirits.”
“It’s up to you.”
Xu Jiaci’s plan to get married safely is to act first and report later. Or get on the bus and make up the ticket.
I refused to get pregnant, so I offered to stay at his house for a few days to ease the family relationship.
Xu Jiaci looked extremely moved.
His ability and character can not be separated from the protection of his family.
If I can get on well with his parents, he will be happy to see it. After knowing Xu Jiaci’s plan,
Xu’s mother was extremely critical of me. I said I would continue to work in the company. She said it was to earn money. I made breakfast for my family. She said it was hypocritical. I gave Xu Huan a cup of water. She said it was bad intentions. I wanted to raise a cat. She said I was dreaming.
She guessed every one of them.
The Xu family lived separately, but Xu Huan was not married, so occasionally he would come back to live, and there was a special room for him in the villa.
As his elder brother, Xu’s father would occasionally find a topic to ask his little brother when he would bring a girlfriend back.
Xu Dad also asked him, before there was a good girl, now there is no later? Xu Huan looked at me when he
said this, and I was eating porridge.
I handed him the porridge and smiled, “I don’t know what kind of girl my little uncle likes, but it’s definitely not an ordinary girl.”
Hsu Ma immediately gave me a dirty look: “It’s not you anyway.”
I laughed. “That’s for sure.” The cat’s head rubber band on
her wrist was hairy and shaking, and Xu Ma saw the corner of her eyes twitching. When
Xu Huan finished his porridge, he remembered something and said to me, “Yes, a friend of mine is going abroad and asked me to help take care of her cat. I wonder if Xiao Nan has time to help me raise it for a few days.” Before
I could speak, Xu Ma immediately agreed. Xu Jiaci’s parents have a completely different attitude
towards the people in the family.
Xu Huan slowly wiped his mouth, and then frankly added my WeChat on the table.
Xu Jiaci looked at his little uncle, then looked at me, but did not make a sound.
The cat quickly sent over, Xu Huan’s secretary sent over, a set of cat food, beautiful black eyes, long hair, clever.
It’s what I like. After
I raised a cat, I occasionally took pictures of the cat in the circle of friends. The name of the cat is Dumb.
Occasionally, Xu Huan will give a like. One
night when I was ready to go out, I just changed my clothes and came out. I received Xu Huan’s video. I thought about it and took it. The other side of the
video is the background of the party. I saw Xu Jiaci in the background, holding a beautiful girl in his arms.
Xu Huan asked me, Where is the cat. My friend wants to see the cat.
Who knows whether he is looking at the cat or he wants to show me Xu Jiaci, who is holding a cat-like girl.
I turned around to look for the cat, held the cat over, the earring was grabbed by the cat, shaking on the face, Xu Huan said something with the people next to him, and then hung up the video.
After a while, he sent a voice message.
“The cat is very beautiful.”
Before that, Xu Huan had never spoken to me alone, nor had any chat records WeChat. I looked at the voice for a while and deleted it.
When I packed up and went out, Xu’s mother frowned at me. I smiled and said that I had made an appointment with my classmates to go out and buy something.
Xu Ma said that your classmates had something to get together and so on. I
laughed. I just came back from abroad. I haven’t seen you for a few years, so I went to say a few words.
Xu Ma looked at the big new bag in my hand, showing a clear and contemptuous expression. She saw too much of a poor and rich girl like me.
The meeting took place in a private kitchen. When I took out the cash and information in my bag, my roommate immediately laughed: “I didn’t expect you to be so old-fashioned in Taiwan. It’s all cash.”
“Cash is secure.” I laughed. “Is it enough to go through the formalities?”
Enough. If it’s not enough, use the internship fee you owe me. After
talking about business, I didn’t want to move. I leaned back in my chair and looked at the dark red sky of the city at night.
I went out to the bathroom, but I didn’t expect to meet a high school student.
He was having a party with some friends and hesitated to call out my name. I turned around and heard a faint heckling at the table.
Xueba glanced over his shoulder, but the young people were all silent. He held up a glass of drink and handed it to me: “Their new drink, with silver cinnamon, tastes pretty good.”
Yingui is the campus beauty of our high school. I took it over and smelled it: “It smells good.” When
I came home, it was only ten o’clock. The hall of Xu’s villa was brightly lit. Xu Huan and Xu Jiaci were chatting inside.
Xu’s mother was denouncing me, but Xu’s father did not speak, but also acquiesced in the absurdity of Xu Jiaci’s saying that he wanted to get married.
“What’s wrong with Uncle Chang’s daughter tonight?” “It’s tasteless,”
says Hsu Chia-tsu.
Father Hsu said angrily, “It’s not like you’re eating vegetables. What kind of food do you want?”. Uncle Chang called and said that you kissed Chang Na-na, but he didn’t go through her WeChat and asked what you meant.
Xu Jiaci yawned: “She moved her mouth first.” “Marriage is not a matter for one person,” said
Xu Huan. “Have you thought about it?”? After marriage, will your wife accept such a joke?
Xu Jiaci said with a smile, “Little Nan is different.”. She only cares about the fact that I like her in my heart. Just don’t go too far.
Hsu’s mother gave a peep, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Hsu ask lightly, “So you have an open marriage?”
Xu Jiaci waited for a moment and then said with a smile, “Little uncle, I didn’t think you cared so much about me before.”
Xu’s father began to scold Xu Jiaci.
The golden dog was acting like a spoiled child and meowing at my feet. I picked it up and walked into the living room. The conversation in the
living room is over.
“Everyone is here.” I smile.
Hsu Chia-tsu looked at my costume and said, “Where have you been?”
“I went out for a walk and ran into a classmate.”
He came over and helped me with the cat. “A man or a woman?” He asked.
I looked at him and sniffed his nose. He pressed down his skirt and changed the subject: “Yes, I just said that there is a cooperative resort under the company that has a trial operation. Everyone is going on vacation to try the first pot of hot spring water.”
Xu Ma wants to speak, see Xu Huan nod, and live to hold back. One of the great features of the
resort is the natural hot spring, which comes down from the mountain and is divided into different soup pools.
They arrived first, and I insisted on working overtime to finish the work before I went there.
Xu Jiaci took me to the green tea hot spring that I had chosen first. In the
dim light, there is dark hot water. There is red wine and a small fruit bowl on the side.
It’s a good semi-closed world for two people.
If his parents and his little uncle are not here.
My swimsuit was conservative, and I went into the water and walked down the wet steps.
Xu Jiaci sat next to me, Xu Huan’s hands leaning on the edge of the pool, his body hidden in the dark, unable to see clearly. As soon as
I went over, Xu’s mother couldn’t bear it and left with Xu’s father first. “Is Auntie angry?”
I whispered.
Xu Jiaci said, “My mother is in menopause. Don’t pay any attention to her.” I couldn’t help laughing because
he looked like his mother. “Why aren’t you wearing your outfit?”
Asked Hsu Chia-tsu. “It looks great.”
I touched him with my elbow, indicating that Xu Huan was still there.
Hsu Chia-tsu smiled and said, My little uncle is not an outsider. Isn’t that right, little uncle?
The water rippled layer by layer. Just then
his phone rang. He picked it up and said, “Hello, Mom.” Then he paused and looked at me. The other side said something. He had to give in and said, “Oh, don’t say it. Well, I’ll just come over.” As soon as
Xu Jiaci left, the hot spring pavilion quieted down, while Xu Huan opposite seemed to be asleep.
I’m going to get up and cool off first. I pulled my
legs back to get up and accidentally touched Xu Huan’s feet.
He opened his eyes and I smiled. “Excuse me.”
I stood up from him and walked slowly. The front of the suit was secure, but the back was a large cutout, just to the waist line.
Hsu Huan stood up, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He walked over to me and looked down at me. “On purpose?” He asked.
I turned to look at him.
“Chia-tsu is not a suitable marriage partner. He hasn’t settled down yet.”
“He is very generous.”
Xu Huan probably didn’t expect me to say this sentence: “Generous?”
“Yes.”. Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat.
Xu Huan was amused by my straightforward, for this is not a joke at all, he rarely laughed so obviously, I shook my head, really do not understand his laughter.
I was about to leave when he reached out and grabbed my wrist.
“Little uncle?” I reach for his fingers one by one. On the way
back, Xu Ma and Xu Jiaci left first in a car, accompanied by a strange middle-aged man, Xu Jiaci called him Uncle Zhang, who should be the father of the girl Xu Jiaci provoked at the party. Xu Huan and
I are in the same car.
From here back to B city, not far away, I chose to sit in the passenger seat, I do not know how long I vaguely fell asleep, and when I woke up, I found that I had arrived in a city.
I rubbed my eyes, the driver did not know when to change to Xu Huan, he saw me wake up and start again, I looked out of the window, the mood gradually strange.
The car took a detour and drove slowly through the residential areas, rental houses and villages in the city where I used to live. The scenery along the way changed from the original spacious and tidy houses to the old residential buildings, and then to the greasy and soundproof self-built houses.
It seems that he has found out almost all the details of me these days.
Is it because of your father? That’s why you pretended to be in Tiansheng and cut off Lao Yan’s career. That’s why you got close to Chia-tsu and wanted to know about the original acquisition. You’ve been at Hsu’s headquarters for some time, and you should be able to find out that Hsu’s procedures are all legal and compliant.
I answered one of his questions: “Not really. When he first chased me, I didn’t know he was the Xu of the Xu Group.”
And then another one: “That thing, it’s over.”
Hsu Huan suddenly said, Actually, what do you want to find out? You don’t have to go to so much trouble. If you had stayed, you would have had the same chance.
I turned to look at him curiously. I thought he would expose me mercilessly and kick me out of the car.
But he doesn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.
Here we go.
Driving through the residential area of the old street, I motioned him to stop, got out of the car, and went to get a jade carving of an old professor.
The glittering and translucent jade lotus, packed in beautiful boxes and silks and satins, shines brightly in the light. It took
me a lot of effort to get it. Xu Ma liked the old professor’s work very much, but people thought she was uneducated and just arty and refused to sell it to her.
Xu Huan glanced at what was in my hand.
Take the trouble. That’s why you went to see your high school classmates.
“Do you think Auntie will like it?”
‘Yes. But she still won’t allow you to enter Xu’s house.
The car slowed down and stopped on the quiet bank of the river where the vegetation withered and flourished.
What about you, little uncle? Do you want me to come into the Hsu family? I looked at him sideways. “That depends on who you are,”
asked Hsu Huan.
His eyes were confused in the darkness. I reached out and pressed his wrist. “I don’t understand what little uncle means.”
His skin was burning hot. I can give you what
you want. Even more than Jiaci.
“So what do I need to do?”
He bowed his head and kissed my hand.
“You don’t have to do anything. You can leave it to me.”
I leaned over his shoulder, and he bowed his head and kissed him.
But, Jiaci.. No, I struggled, but my body was too soft to resist.
After a long time, everything was quiet again.
Xu Huan put his fist to his lips and did not look at me. He was silent and thinking about something.
I put on my clothes slowly to cover the ambiguous traces on my body.
“I’ll prepare a house for you, and you can send it to me later.”
“What should Chia-tsu say?” My voice was hoarse, and in the dark background of the sunshade mirror, I saw my eyes were reddish, my lips were red and swollen, and my shoulders were reddish struggle marks.
“Not only did he kiss Chang Nana that night, he also slept with her.” On the other hand, he is objective. “It was Chang Na-na who took the initiative.”
I can almost guess the following words.
Sure enough, Xu Huan continued, “Now she says she’s pregnant.”. Zhang Nana is not one of those women out there who can be sold with money.
“That’s why Aunt Hsu pushed the boat along and asked you to find a way to get rid of my trouble, right?”
Xu Huan glanced at me with some approval. Is there something wrong with the water she gave me before
I left. That’s why I slept so soundly. I pretended to be uncomfortable. Maybe things were worse than I thought. It might be someone else who should have played the role of Xu Huan tonight.
And my initiative, let things have a new change.
Xu Huan did not speak, he naturally will not make any admission.
“So that’s it.”
I pulled my skirt and quietly turned off the recording tool next to me.
I thought she was going to throw me a check like a rich and powerful wife on TV. What a disappointment.
Xu Huan laughed. After the
laughter, there was a brief silence in the car. I will consider
your suggestion. But can you do me a little favor first? I want to have a birthday party in a city for my birthday the day after tomorrow. At the birthday party in
a city, Xu Huan arranged it in the best hotel.
He himself went with me from house to house to invite my relatives, after I hinted that I was going to marry this man.
Father’s relatives and friends, face shyly, and some flattered, looking at the luxury car surprised, and for Xu Huan’s identity pale.
They began to get close to me, talking about their friendship with my parents, how lovely I was when I was a child, how well I studied, and how promising I looked.
I invite them without exception. Dinner at the
birthday party is in the evening.
I moved a table and waited at the door with a sign-in paper on it.
One by one, they received the gifts of birthday red envelopes.
For such a gorgeous hotel, what they might have prepared for 400 yuan turned into 600 yuan.
Six hundred became eight hundred.
I took a cardboard box and put the notes in it.
When it was time for the feast, the dishes were served one by one. The relatives, who were full of expectations
for the hotel food, began to mutter,
“Don’t tell me, the same food is different in this big hotel.”
“Yes, I heard the chef used to cook state banquets.”
It tastes good. This wine is also good.
These dishes are the ones that my father and I waited for them to eat in the small restaurant that day.
Just changed places and got a completely different review.
I almost laughed out loud.
Walking up to the beautifully decorated ceremony platform, I brought out a beautiful porcelain jar, moved a chair to sit down, then took out a note and lit it, threw it in, and then began to continue. The hall,
which had been bustling, began to quiet down, and everyone turned to look at me.
I talked while burning the paper.
Dad, did you see? The last time you gave a treat, everyone you wanted was here.
The last time you talked about the food, did they think it was not delicious. No, they all ate very well and said it was delicious.
“Today everyone has accepted the gift. Dad, you’ve got all the money back. I’ll show you.” Uncle
San, six hundred. You said you didn’t want the money you lent his son to learn to drive, but I didn’t mention it.
“Fourth uncle, eight hundred.”. You said that when he was sick and came to stay with us for a month, it was a relative’s favor, and the medical expenses paid were nothing, and I didn’t say anything this time.
「……」 Someone
below could not sit still and slapped the table to stand up.
But in front of me stood the well-uniformed security guards of the hotel, and they stopped swearing again.
One after another, people put down their chopsticks and went out. After
I burned the last note, the whole hall was empty.
Xu Huan’s expression was amazing and he applauded slowly.
Don’t you think it’s a pity? So much money is just burned?
I looked up at the small dust hovering slowly.
I’m not stupid. All the money burned is ghost money. It’s just a print.
“You.” He shook his head slowly, with a helpless smile on his face. “It’s always beyond my expectation.”
“I’d like to borrow something from General Manager Xu.”
“Come on, I should be able to brush my old face today.” Relying on Xu Huan’s old face, he borrowed the staff of the hall and the hotel for free today, as well as the plates of the hotel, all of which were delivered from the big pot dishes of the small restaurant.
Borrow a money counter. A lot of money makes your hands hurt. My Philistine and honest manner made him laugh.
I broke up with Xu Jiaci. Xu Ma called me when we
broke up.
I answered the phone, the car just entered Xu’s villa, the car stopped, Xu Huan opened the trunk, I picked up the jade carving and went in.
“There is no benevolence and righteousness in buying and selling.” I will give things to Xu Ma.
Her expression shyly, and like the gift, reluctant to refuse, do not know what to say for a moment. Zhang Nana with delicate makeup was sitting in the
hall, and I smiled at her.
This gift is for my uncle, the handmade tie clip he said before. That’s all right. I’ll go first.
Zhang Nana was surprised and laughed for my natural magnanimity. She was simply shocked by me.
Xu Ma pretended that she should refuse.
I said firmly, “These should be given to both of you. I’m sorry to disturb you during this time.”
The mobile phone rang, and it was Xu Jiaci’s phone.
It was Zhang Nana who tricked me into taking the medicine. I don’t like her at all. Affectation and annoyance, he muttered.
“Congratulations on being a father.” I said on the phone.
Hsu Huan hung up the phone for me and said, “Let’s go.”
Xu Ma gave a cry and didn’t seem to understand.
I put my hand around Xu Huan’s arm, but he didn’t refuse. Zhang Nana understood and covered her mouth.
Hsu Ma called out, “Oh, my God.” Because
I did not hide the relationship with Xu Huan, Xu Jiaci also came to the company to make trouble, uncle and nephew started fighting in the office, I did not finish the coffee, Xu Jiaci came out first.
Then there was Xu Huan with a wound at the corner of his mouth.
High above the Xu Huan, the original indecent time is like this.
His face was hurt, his clothes were messy, but he had his own aura.
I looked at them, Xu Huan came over, the cup was taken away by a hand, directly holding my wrist, his hand steady and strong, and then took me away in full view of the public. In the
wide back seat, he pushed me in. There was plenty of
cold air. He reached out to shake my hand. His hand was cold. “Are you scared?”
“In the future, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive here. How can I see them?” I sigh.
“Not seen, okay?” His voice was heavy, and he looked sideways at me. “Of the four men standing next to you today, three had talked about you, and one had asked you all about you when you were hired.”
I opened my eyes wide. Both for his first sentence and for his second sentence.
“You’re spying on me?” What else do you
want to know? You don’t have to go to all that trouble, and you don’t have to look it up yourself. Ask me.
“I ask you, will you tell the truth?”
“Say everything you know.”
“Aren’t you afraid of my recording?” I’m kidding.
Xu Huan laughed. In the spacious business car in the underground parking lot, his long legs and long hands were lazy and casual.
“You even had your wounds examined that day, so what am I afraid of?”
I’m a little surprised. He knows everything. I was in the car with him
that night, and the ambiguous and helpless recording, together with the injuries I had examined on my body, were all excellent materials for framing. If
these things are sent to the police station, there will be a storm, and if they are put on the Internet, it will be a news.
“You know all about it.”
Xu Huan said, After you went back to school, I found out your identity and asked Tiansheng’s people to call you, but you denied your identity. At that time, I thought your heart knot had been solved with the price Lao Yan paid. Later I was very busy, and gradually the matter was put aside.
But I didn’t expect that you would appear again in such an identity. Your father’s accident was an accident, but he saw me that night, and I thought you might hate me.
I leaned into the shadow of the car.
Xu Huan’s voice was gentle: After you recorded in the car that night, I waited for a result. I’m glad you chose.
I didn’t release the recording in retaliation, not because of that, but because my father was a self-respecting man.
He used his own life to solve his own problems until he died. If
I am exposed on the Internet, he will soon be dug up and exposed to the sun. The clues
I found in Xu’s are enough to prove it.
Father did do something that violated financial ethics but was called the unspoken rules of the company. In
business, there is only profit, not fairness. I’m sorry about your father, but I couldn’t do him justice at the time.
“I understand.” I thanked him, “Thank you for letting me go to Treasury and Investments.”
Xu Jiaci’s weight is not enough, without Xu Huan’s approval, I can not enter Xu’s, contact with those core things.
Those seemingly flawless and beautiful data and rigorous processes.
“Little Nan, in fact, we still have a chance.”
Xu Huan’s hand reached over and pressed against my face. He slowly moved back and inserted it into my hair. His hand tightened and his eyes were as deep as stars in the dark night. He hesitated and asked me, “Is that right?”
But he did not hesitate to move. His fingers moved down gently and arbitrarily. His spine and fingertips tingled together. I was like a cat being held by the neck. Then he kissed me gently from the ear.
“So you don’t hate me, do you?”
I couldn’t resist, and I felt a shudder.
Then he went further and further, and I finally came to my senses and said, “No, no.”
His breath was hot and his eyes were heavy. “No, you want it.”
I don’t know how to refuse. Reason and instinct are at war. Panic and absurdity make adrenaline surge.
After work, cars were driving in the parking lot in twos and threes outside. I saw familiar colleagues coming out of the elevator. From the window, I could see them greeting each other and saying goodbye.
I saw Xu Huan said that a male colleague looked this way, and someone looked at the car on the side of the road.
Such an absurd and exciting feeling. I wanted to cry, but I didn’t know what the reason was. I could only sob softly: “I will die.”
Hsu Huan chuckled. “I can’t bear to part with it.”
A week later is Xu Jiaci’s engagement day, such an occasion Xu Huan needs to attend, but my identity is awkward, I can not attend.
Xu Huan took me to his duplex house in the city center, which is his other home and looks simple and clean.
I spent a few days cleaning up the fish tank, raising small fish in it, buying flowers, adding warm pillows and tablecloths.
Then I spent a lot of time studying cooking, especially all kinds of snacks.
In my spare time, I used his computer to revise my resume and look at the position.
Xu Huan wanted to help me, but I refused, so he patiently circled me in his arms and changed my resume sentence by sentence.
“The most important thing is not your mechanical job description, but the abilities required for the position. Only by simplifying and abstracting can people shine in the eyes.” As expected,
his revised resume had a lot of phone calls, but many of them were not followed up after telephone communication, and occasionally there were no suitable interviews. On the morning of the
engagement, Xu Huan changed into the formal clothes I had prepared for him. I answered the phone and tied his tie. After tying his
tie, he bowed his head and kissed me on the cheek. I smiled and motioned to push him out of the door.
Then, while talking on the phone, he began to clean up. The camera in the
living room moved slowly with my movements, and I felt like I didn’t know.
Putting the garbage together, I packed a big bag, went to the room, casually took a coat to put on, put on a pair of ordinary walking shoes, I went downstairs to throw away the garbage, together with my mobile phone.
And then went straight out of the neighborhood.
Two hours later, I was at the airport, waiting for my plane to stop, board and take off. I pulled down the shade and blindfold and had a long, long sleep. When I
landed, the sky was still slightly bright. The overseas student who
met me at the airport waved to me with a sign. After half a year’s preparation, I changed my name, sorted out all the information, and got the employment notice of the university I wanted. The money that my
relatives gave my father in return was just enough to support me through the first stage.
At the same time, the tax evidence and reports related to Tiansheng, which I had carefully sorted out, were also sent to the tax Bureau. What about the gift you brought
me. As you said last time, when you went to practice under my name, you had to pay me.
I laughed and served a jar of secret beef sauce.
“Last time I saw you, I thought you were rich and stingy.”
“In the future, it’s up to you to take me with you. I’m going to carry our snacks forward and earn a little money for my tuition.” It was sunny
outside, and I looked back to the east, where it should be late at night.
Xu Jiaci’s engagement should be over. Maybe Xu Huan has come back.
I don’t hate him.
However, I don’t intend to like it like this. As the sun sets
, the sun slowly crosses the horizon, and two swans lie neck to neck by the lake.
Tomorrow will be a completely new day.
