half thorns, half joy

Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps became rapid and clear, and the wooden door of the house was pushed open.

Deng Langyue hid behind the sofa, and could only guess from the sound of footsteps and the sound of the door opening that the nanny should have come in.

Then, it was the woman's swearing.

"Give me something with hair in it, do you want to disgust me to death!"

"Sorry, I'll prepare another one for you right away."

"Go away, I'm going to rest."

"Yes."

Deng Langyue didn't dare to vent her anger, and waited until the wooden door was closed again before poking his head out from behind the sofa.

"Hurry up and go, remember our agreement!"

The woman also seemed a little nervous, but more of it was reluctance and nostalgia.

Deng Langyue looked at the iron chains on the woman's feet, and couldn't help feeling dense sympathy in her heart.In his memory, his mother was also so beautiful, young, and so rational when she was calm.

only……

"Okay, I will come to see you again, take care." Deng Langyue also knew that she couldn't stay any longer, if she was found out, things would become difficult.

Deng Langyue walked quickly to the door, took out her bank card from her pocket, inserted it into the crack of the door and gently picked it up, and then opened the door buckle.

He turned his head and nodded slightly to Coco, and closed the door again.

Just when Deng Langyue was about to reach the side door, he suddenly heard footsteps again. He quickly hid behind the door, and hid behind the door the moment the side door was pushed open.

Here comes the nanny.

The nanny held a tray of pastries and afternoon tea in her hand, perhaps because she was afraid that the cocoa would not be served well, so she brought another serving.

Deng Langyue stared closely at the nanny's back, stepped aside, and entered her yard.

At this moment, Deng Langyue was no longer in the mood for leisure. He strode back to his room, grabbed the cold tea on the table, and took a few sips.

The cold tea slipped down her throat, and Deng Langyue's restless mood was calmed down a little.

He was really surprised. Originally, he was hoping to see if he could get some useful information against Deng Li, but in the end he got himself involved.

The woman didn't look like she was lying.

But if the woman didn't lie, then Deng Li was lying. What Deng Li said was wrong for his father to abandon his mother, then both he and his mother were deceived by his uncle?
This realization was like pouring a bucket of ice water on Deng Langyue's head, making him cold all over.

It was much more shocking than when he learned that Deng Li was going to harm himself.

Because the latter is Deng Li's profit-seeking choice, sacrificing his nephew in exchange for the prosperity, wealth, safety and happiness of Deng Li's family.But the former, what is the reason for that?

Deng Langyue couldn't think of it.

If it was true, then why did Deng Li want to ruin the happiness of his own sister?
In the past, Deng Langyue would never have believed it. At that time, he probably wouldn't have taken it seriously. He only felt that someone was sowing discord and making up stories.

But now he already knows that he is Deng Li's pawn, and his trust in Deng Li has long been annihilated.

"Hehe. Hehe." Deng Langyue covered her eyes and smiled fiercely, tears streaming down her fingers unstoppably.

Why, do you do this to him?
Is everything in front of him punishment and revenge for his ignorance of the world and his foolishness in the past 20 years?
If so, that's really cruel.

It hurts too much.

……

Shaw Group.CEO's office.

Xiao Zihan stood in front of the large French window, with his hands lazily inserted in his trouser pockets, his eyes looking at his own reflection reflected on the glass, but his ears were listening to the report of his confidants behind him very seriously.

"One month at the latest, Deng Li will be ready to get away completely."

Hearing this sentence, Xiao Zihan frowned, "One month? Can Deng Langyue and Fan Li get ready?"

"It's okay for Deng Langyue to say, it's mainly Fan Li's side, which is a bit difficult." The subordinate sighed, "Deng Li is extremely cautious, even if Fan Li used to be his partner, it will take a little more time to find evidence. "

"That is to find a way to delay time."

The subordinates nodded, "Yes."

"Deng Li intends to use Deng Langyue's marriage as a cover-up, so as to leave quietly. Deng Langyue can't act rashly. If she promises and then backs out, she will be suspected. The only way is..."

Xiao Zihan pondered for a moment, then asked: "Just now you said that the girl from the Qin family that Deng Li was going to marry was threatened by her father, Qin Guoquan, with her mother's medical expenses, right?"

"Yes." The subordinate immediately understood, "You mean to start with that girl or her seriously ill mother?"

"No." Xiao Zihan shook his head, "Those two people are pitiful enough, we don't need to step on it again. Qin Guoquan has been brainwashed by Deng Li, it is impossible to persuade him to come to our side, find a way Let's do something about him, as long as we drag it to Fan Li and everything is ready."

The subordinate immediately nodded, "Understood."

"Go down and get busy, and report to me in time if there is anything urgent."

"Yes."

His subordinates retreated lightly, and closed the door behind them.Xiao Zihan didn't move, still staring at himself in the reflection.

However, the eyes are completely empty.

He is thinking.

Think about Xiao Yu.

If Xiao Yu is really with Deng Li, then Xiao Yu will definitely continue to act in the next month.

Otherwise, after Deng Li left, he would have no protection.

only……

The corners of Xiao Zihan's mouth were pursed tightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

He had to be careful and prudent in every step that followed, and he would never make any mistakes.Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Ring-ring--"

Xiao Zihan's mobile phone on the desk rang suddenly, and Xiao Zihan's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. He closed his eyes and returned to the desk.

Seeing the caller ID, Xiao Zihan's face, which was as cold as ice, suddenly warmed up as if the ice and snow had melted.

Even, with a little smile.

"What's the matter?" The voice that came out was also extremely gentle.

Tang Xuan was looking at the missing ingredients in the kitchen. She planned to cook dinner tonight. The reason, of course, was that today was a special day.

"I want to ask you, when will you be back tonight?"

Xiao Zihan glanced at the time, the hour hand just pointed to five.

"Seven or eight o'clock." Xiao Zihan thought that Tang Xuan seldom called to ask about such things. There must be some reason, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask a question, then you should be busy, I'll have dinner with you when you come back." Tang Xuan's tone was light and natural from beginning to end, but it really didn't seem like there was anything wrong.

Although Xiao Zihan was puzzled, he didn't ask any further, "Okay, I got it."

"You are busy, bye."

"Ah."

Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Xiao Zihan turned his head to look at the desk calendar. The date on the desk calendar showed: November [-]th.

Xiao Zihan's eyes paused.

He actually forgot about this day.

But maybe he didn't think about it at all.

After all, this was the most painful and ridiculous memory for him.

On that day, his dream of happiness was shattered, not to mention his father was taken away by the police, and the lover who slept next to his pillow day and night actually came undercover for revenge.

For Xiao Zihan at that time, the blow was huge.

But looking back now, it seems so far away that it was a matter of the last century.

Now everything is getting better, Tang Xuan is back, and the child is born. Although the grievances of the previous generation have not been completely resolved, no matter what, they have become the past.

The past cannot be chased, and the future still needs to go well.

Xiao Zihan sighed for a long time, dialed the inside line of the landline, and told his assistant: "Jolin, come in."

Half an hour later, Xiao Zihan left the company.

He didn't take the driver with him, but drove the car by himself, and drove the car straight to a residential area.

It was the time when he and Tang Xuan had just graduated, and Tang Xuan rented the community where the two of them had lived together for a while.

He bought that small house after Tang Xuan left.Come to think of it, I haven't been here for a long time.

Xiao Zihan took out the key and opened the door, and reached out to turn on the lamp on the wall.

The house has not been ventilated and cleaned for a long time, and there is already a thin layer of dust, and there is still a little damp smell.

Xiao Zihan stood at the door for a moment, then closed the door and approached the bedroom.

The curtains in the bedroom were drawn tightly, and the light was extremely dim. Xiao Zihan didn't turn on the light, and walked to the bedside table based on his memory and habit, and opened the drawer.

In the center of the drawer, there are two rings, one male and one female, lying side by side.

In the weak light, it still emits dazzling brilliance.
