half city sweet

"Crackling" the drizzle suddenly became heavier, and the raindrops hit the glass windows one after another, and a few lightning bolts fell from the sky, illuminating the originally dark cafe.Qiao Chu stood quietly behind the counter, the hand holding the coffee cup looked pale and sick, the light blue blood vessels were slightly protruding, and the most conspicuous thing was the graying hair.

The blush in Huo Jingchen's eyes deepened, and his voice became hoarse, "Excuse me, can I have a cup of coffee with milk?"

Qiao Chu looked at the person in front of him with a calm expression, with the indifference and alienation of meeting a stranger for the first time, tilted his right hand slightly, poured the coffee in his hand into the cleaning sink, and then refused without leaving any room, "Sorry , we're closed."

The smile on the corner of Huo Jingchen's mouth was so stiff that he almost couldn't hold it back.

When he came, Fang Chen said to him that apologizing is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It must be sincere and sincere, and it will accumulate over time; but the other party is Qiao Chu, so the most effective way is to stalk him shamelessly.

When Huo Jingchen heard this just now, the first thought in Huo Jingchen's head was to throw Fang Chen out of the office, but now that he really saw someone, he felt that Fang Chen's words were a rare insight.

The thunder in the sky gradually approached, and the rain became a little bit heavier.Huo Jingchen adjusted the curvature of the corner of his mouth to thoroughly implement the policy of stalking, "It's raining too much, I don't have an umbrella, can you let me take shelter in the store?"

Qiao Chu paused for washing the cup, and was about to refuse again. The phone beside the counter flashed, and then there was a buzzing vibration.Huo Jingchen glanced at it, heaved a sigh of relief, walked to the place closest to the counter, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Qiao Chu glanced at Huo Jingchen, but he didn't say anything to drive people away. He wiped his hands with a tissue and slid off the phone, "Let's talk."

Zhang Ye on the other end of the phone touched his nose in embarrassment, "Hehe, I, I'm so entangled that I can't help it, don't you know how perverted that Huo Jingchen is, for a month, he tortured me for a whole month, even if I went He always guards the door of the toilet, I was really pestered by him, so I told him that you are in Lihai."

Thinking of those miserable days, Zhang Ye couldn't help but shudder.

Two years ago, Mrs. Zhang was forcing Zhang Ye to go on a blind date all day long. Just as Xiao Bai was going to take Qiao Chu for medical treatment, she took advantage of the situation and hid.In the past two years, no matter what the old man said, she would not go back to Ningjin. A month ago, Zhang's old house called and said that the old man was admitted to the ICU, so she rushed back overnight.

Zhang Ye went straight from the airport to the hospital with his luggage, and when he got upstairs, he realized that he had been cheated. Mrs. Zhang was not sick at all, and he chased her with a cane to beat her very vigorously.

Zhang Ye was forced to sit on the blind date table the next day.

Mrs. Zhang made a ruthless move. In one day, no one in the upper circles of Ningjin knew that the lady of the Zhang family who had been away from home for two years was cheated back. The Zhang family even arranged a blind date banquet. Zhang Ye himself did not know that day How many blind dates has she met? She only remembers that when she came out of the restaurant, she felt like throwing up when she saw a man.

She ran for three streets in a row and managed to get rid of the bodyguards behind her. Before she could catch her breath, Huo Jingchen blocked her.

The situation at that time made Zhang Ye say that there were wolves in front and tigers in back, and it was impossible to advance or retreat. Seeing that the bodyguards behind him were about to chase him, Zhang Ye got into Huo Jingchen's car with a heartbroken heart.Originally, she planned to follow Huo Jingchen first and then find an opportunity to slip away, but she never expected that guy would be so perverted, following her almost every step of the way for 24 hours, staring at her while eating, guarding her door when sleeping, just Even when she went to the toilet, this guy stood at the door waiting for her without changing his face.

Zhang Ye was still complaining about Huo Jingchen's perverted behavior on the other end of the phone, but Qiao Chu simply cut off the conversation, "That's not the reason why you bought me."

Zhang Ye coughed twice, "Well, I didn't want to tell him at first, but I heard something from Fang Chen." After a pause, she sighed, "Qiao Chu, Huo Jingchen has had a difficult two years."

After Zhang Ye slipped away, Mr. Zhang ordered to freeze all her property, and sent people all over Ningjin to look for her. She had no financial resources and was afraid of being caught back to continue the blind date, so she could only hide in Huo Jingchen's apartment.

Huo Jingchen stared at her not going to the company all day long, so Fang Chen came to him on time with the documents to sign.

It was Friday and the weather was gloomy and heavy like a heavy rain. When Fang Chen came to deliver the documents, Zhang Ye was sitting on the sofa and scolding Huo Jingchen. After all, he was someone who had seen big scenes with the boss. Fang Chen didn't change his face. He handed the document to Huo Jingchen, then stepped aside to make coffee.

Fang Chen is fair and gentle, and he always speaks and does things with a bit of a gentleman's demeanor. For some reason, she suddenly couldn't keep counting.

Zhang Ye absently flicked the magazines on the table, and waited until he smelled the faint fragrance in the air before realizing that there was an extra cup of coffee in hand. Huo Jingchen, who was sitting diagonally across from her, left at some point, and Fang Chen took his place.

Zhang Ye secretly rolled his eyes, and complained in his heart: You've gone out of your way, and now you're in prison again.

Seeing her looking over, Fang Chen put down the magazine in his hand and smiled at her very friendly.

"Miss Zhang must have heard something about Mr. Huo's parents. Their union originated from a business marriage. The two people who have no relationship, even if they have children, the family still lacks the warmth it should have.

Mrs. Huo has an unrestrained personality and has been abroad all year round. The number of times Mr. Huo can see her in a year can be counted on one hand. Mr. Huo is strict and cold, and he values ​​profit and power. It is better to say Mr. Huo is his son It is appropriate to say that it is a sophisticated working instrument he cultivated. "

Fang Chen's voice was neither urgent nor slow, clear and pleasant.Zhang Ye casually flicked the magazine in front of him, but unconsciously put all his thoughts on him.

"The first time I saw Mr. Huo was only 16 years old. He was wearing a black suit and sat upright next to Mr. Huo. The expression on his face was exactly the same as his father's. After driving for three hours, he sat motionless for three hours."

Fang Chen frowned slightly, as if expressing some dissatisfaction, "It didn't take long for Mr. Huo and I to be sent abroad to study abroad. During the day he had to attend classes to choose topics, and at night he had to stay up late to deal with domestic company affairs. Know how much pressure is on him.

After going on like this for a year, Mr. Huo was diagnosed with anxiety, mania, loss of emotion and moderate social phobia.Even so, Huo Dong still didn't give him any time to breathe, and just after the new year, he handed over several subsidiaries to him for management.

In the following two years, he became a frequent visitor to the psychological clinic. I am afraid that no one can understand how difficult those days were. "

Zhang Ye was rubbing the magazines in his hand carelessly, upset and shocked. She never imagined that Huo Jingchen, who was calm and steady in the shopping mall, would also have times of mental breakdown.

Fang Chen took a sip of coffee, then continued in a soft voice: "Probably because of his experiences, Mr. Huo is very guarded, and it is difficult to open his heart to accept someone.

I used to think that he would never have friends in his life, but later I found that he would restrain all vigilance when facing someone, and even show his softest side. "

Speaking of this, Fang Chen smiled and asked, "Miss Zhang, who do you think this person is?"

Zhang Ye curled his lips in displeasure, and threw away the magazine in his hand. The answer to this question was too obvious, so how else could she answer it other than 'Joe Chu'.

Fang Chen didn't care about Zhang Ye's displeasure at all, instead he smiled with a good temper, "Everyone says that Huo Jingchen is a strategist and eloquent person, but who knows that he will At a loss, even clumsy tongue can't even explain.

Just like Qiao's bid was leaked before, all of you probably thought he did it, but at that time, because he didn't agree with Huo Dong's proposal of marrying Ye's to deal with Qiao's plan, he was almost defeated Half-Life, who had a high fever for three days, ran to see Mr. Qiao just after waking up and still wearing a hospital gown;

In the few days when Qiao was ordered by the bank to pay off the loan, he was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were bubbling. He privately used 5% of Huo's shares under his name to go to the bank as a guarantee for Qiao's, which made the bank suspend the early payment. submitted proposals;

Mr. Qiao had an accident, Qiao’s was acquired, and Qiao Dong passed away. Everyone of you is blaming him, but at that time he was trapped abroad and could not come back. In order to prevent him from making trouble during the acquisition of Qiao’s, Huo Dong deliberately Find someone to hit Mrs. Huo's car, and find someone to pretend to be a hospital to call Mr. Huo in critical condition.

Ms. Zhang speaks from her heart, what would you do if you received the call from the hospital at that time. "

What should I do, what else can I do, Zhang Ye thought that if it was her, she would wish she could have two more legs and appear in front of her mother immediately.

Fang Chen breathed out slowly, as if he wanted to finish Huo Jingchen's grievance at once, "Mr. Huo realized that he was cheated when he went abroad, and all his identity documents were stolen. He wanted to come back, but how could he?" I can only stay in the embassy every day and stare at the progress of the replacement of the certificate.

During those three days, Qiao always had a hard time, so how could he have had a better time? He was the one who asked out the person, and the accident happened under his nose, and his father was the one who indirectly forced Qiao Dong to death. What is the suffering and embarrassment in his heart? Say, who do you want to talk to. "

Fang Chen's voice was trembling slightly, "It's been two years, you have disappeared silently for two years, he has lived with debts for two years, he is restless every day, can't sleep at night, and smokes one after another during the day , I stared at the pot of Phalaenopsis in a daze at night, and fainted several times in the office because of lack of energy. The next day I woke up, I had to sit in Mr. Qiao's office for a whole day.

Ms. Zhang, you must have thought that Qiao’s has already been merged by Huo’s, but in fact, it was bought back by Mr. Huo in private. He kept saying that if he couldn’t return Qiao’s to Mr. Qiao, what face would he have? to atone.

But what crime did he commit, and what was wrong with him? "

Zhang Ye was speechless. What kind of crime and what was wrong? If he really talked about it, he could only say: there is no crime of ignorance, it is a mistake.

Fang Chen rubbed the corner of his eyes, and lowered his voice, "It's the first time I've seen him so attached to one person, Miss Zhang, I beg you, give him a chance, a chance for him to let him go."

That conversation ended here, and the living room was too quiet throughout the afternoon.When Fang Chen left, it just started to rain. Zhang Ye curled up in the corner of the sofa with his pillow in his arms, watched Huo Jingchen send people out, and then stood on the balcony smoking a cigarette all afternoon.
