you
At the beginning of Chapter 1, Van stands behind him, holding a bottle of peanut butter in his hand.
Let's work!In order to prove himself, but also for the little wolf dog at home.
Pie wants to come back early to be with her.
As long as he thinks of Kim, Pie can't stop smiling, and his mood seems to be brightened.Stomach porridge was cooking on the rice cooker in the kitchen, and when the timer ended, Kim could just wake up and eat the best flavor.Inside and out, pie checked everything again, and the food and clothing that should be prepared for Kim was also written on sticky notes and placed in a conspicuous place.
Huh, pie let out a long breath.
It might be too late to make breakfast for herself, so she just grabbed two pieces of dry bread and went out.Today's weather doesn't seem to be very good, pie pouted as he looked at the thick fog with visibility less than [-] meters.
Forget it, let's go out and take the bus.
Pie casually chewed and swallowed the last bite of bread in his mouth, and walked slowly into the mist.And behind her, a pair of eyes closely followed her, and her footsteps also followed.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, when Kim became conscious again, the fog outside the window had cleared and his stomach began to growl.Reluctantly accepting the fact that pie had already gone out to work, she straightened up, got up and went downstairs.The whole living room was fragrant, it was the rice fragrance that Pie made porridge for herself, which attracted the gluttons in her stomach to rush up.After a brief wash, he quickly trotted into the kitchen. While serving the porridge, Kim stared at the sticky notes around him and smirked.
Good wife and good mother, good wife and good mother.
Kim blew the porridge in the spoon to cool down a bit, and then slowly put it into his mouth.Take a sip and warm your heart.
It's really nice to have someone to accompany you.Plain and light, but sweet like a sugarcane.
It seems that it is time to prepare for a marriage proposal.
A wicked smile flitted across Kim's lips.
She was thinking about something in her head when the landline phone in the living room rang.She put down the bowl in her hand and was wondering, but she still didn't hesitate and picked it up directly.
"Kim? Where are you?"
When Xiaobao's voice came from the other end of the phone, Kim suddenly felt bad.
"Me? At home, what's the matter, Xiaobao, what's the matter?"
Kim's voice sounded normal, which made Xiaobao very flustered.
"Kim, turn on the TV, the entertainment channel, hurry up!"
Kim's eyebrows were furrowed together, she didn't know what happened to make Xiaobao so anxious.
But when she turned on the TV, the picture in front of her was so shocking that she could no longer speak.
☆, startling
Staring at the picture on the TV, Kim's facial features are all twisted together, like a wrinkled old rag, which is gray and decayed from top to bottom.
The hostess of the morning entertainment show was still wearing thick and delicate professional makeup as usual, and her gossiping smile fully revealed the excitement in every cell of her body.In a suspected candid video, Air is pacing in the shopping mall with his own arm.This video is not long, it has obviously been edited, and the patchwork is also full of information.At this time, in which store they are choosing what, and where are they going next time.The precise timing, rich content, and clear picture made Kim turn pale with shock.She even felt that this paparazzi seemed to be very close at hand.But she clearly remembered that at that time, apart from the bodyguards hiding in the dark, there were no strangers around her at all.
how can that be!
"This...this..."
At this moment, Kim was overwhelmed by the huge shock, and could no longer speak a complete sentence, and the remote control in his hand was about to be crushed.Listening to the heavy breathing coming from the other end of the phone, Xiaobao's nerves that were a little relaxed suddenly tensed up even more.
"Did you see it?" Xiao Bao pursed his lips, with a very displeased expression on his face, "What's going on?"
"I...I don't know." Kim's face was very ugly, "This...how is it possible?!"
"Now outside, it has spread all over the streets and alleys." Xiaobao's tone was a little anxious, "Newspapers, magazines, the Internet, and TV media are all about you. The turmoil at the winery has not passed a while ago, and the This path arises for no reason, Kim, Kim, do you know how dangerous your situation is right now?!"
Kim let out a long sigh, raised his hands and rubbed his temples which were throbbing wildly.She didn't know how to answer, and she didn't have any words to answer.The picture fragments in her mind flashed over and over again, but she never found any flaws.Looking up again, his eyes returned to the TV screen, and the person in the video was indeed himself.Although the face was not photographed, those who are familiar with him can tell at a glance that the figure is Kim.
How can you be so careless! Kim held his forehead, wanting to cry but no tears.
"Okay, I won't ask about the whole story. You're probably in the dark right now. I've contacted Air just now, but I haven't been able to. I heard from your housekeeper that she flew to Europe overnight. Kim, it's happened and we have to get it under control."
"What about pie? Has she read the news?"
Kim's heart, which had calmed down a bit, suddenly started beating wildly again.
"She... is not at home. She has something to do and has gone out to work."
Now Xiaobao was speechless, the series of things that happened this morning made him unbelievable.Now they are one head and two big.They, who have always acted in an upright manner, really couldn't figure out why this mysterious man wanted to frame Kim repeatedly.
Xiao Bao broke out in cold sweat all over his body.
"Kim, this matter is serious. While Pie is still working, let's deal with these non-existent scandals quickly, and we can't let them spread anymore."
"Okay, I'll come to you right now."
There was a wave of ups and downs, and Kim was about to jump up irritably.She gritted her teeth and turned off the TV, then slammed the remote control onto the sofa.Picking clothes at random and changing them, and not being able to control the mess in the house, Kim hurriedly grabbed the keys and rushed out the door.
If she still had time to look at herself in the glasses now, she would see a pair of bloodshot eyes and a decadent and dull face.
The clock passed a few ticks, and before I knew it, it was almost noon.
Pie put away his notebook and recording pen, and said goodbye to the president in front of him with a smile.It's been a long time since I had such a formal interview. Pie pulled on his formal coat, as if he wasn't used to it.She closed the door behind her softly, and looked at the neatly arranged desks in the lobby. Everyone was staring at the computer screen, and her fingers were flying across the keyboard.What they had on hand was the lunch that had been delivered long ago but had been put on hold until it got a bit cold.
Wow, being an employee of a big company is really hard work.
Pie raised his eyebrows, and quietly retreated to the elevator.Looking at the time, it was too late to go home and take a nap, and Yam was still working nearby, so this pair of close friends hit it off and decided to have a small party to connect with each other.For example, now, they are sitting in the box of the tea restaurant, staring at the tablet in front of them, choosing a variety of dishes.Picking up the teacups and clinking them, the two sisters finished all the recent greetings with tea instead of wine, and then unceremoniously grabbed the chopsticks and ate.
"Hey, let me say," Yam took a sip of the soup in the bowl, "Kim is willing to let you out for an interview? As far as I know, the president of the group you interviewed just now is notoriously lustful."
"What nonsense are you talking about again." Pie didn't even look at Yam, "He didn't do anything to me. Besides, I will pay attention to it myself, so I want you to talk more."
"Yes, yes, our pie has grown up, and I no longer need an old man like me to worry about her~"
After all, Yam smiled maliciously at pie. Pie ignored her and turned on the TV in the box by himself.
"It seems that your triangular relationship is resolved?" Yam smiled, and picked up the soup bowl again, "I see that your mood is much better than before."
"Yeah, it's resolved." Pie exhaled, "After listening to your suggestion, Brother Van and I explained it clearly, and it's the same with Kim, so it's finally easier."
"That's good." A smile appeared on Yam's face, "Seeing that your complexion is not very good, I thought something happened between fitting Kim."
Looking bad?Have it? Pie turned his head and looked at the reflection on the dark marble decoration around him, his eyebrows gathered together. Seeing her like this, Yam wanted to find some topic to ease the atmosphere, but by coincidence, his attention was gradually attracted by the noisy background sound on the TV.
What was being rebroadcasted on TV was the morning entertainment news, the one that was officially about Kim that came into view. Yam blinked quickly a few times, and couldn't believe the scene on TV.She turned her head, only to see pie staring at the scene on the screen, a face that was originally smiling, slowly turning into a liver color.
"You don't need to watch this kind of gossip." Yam turned off the TV resolutely, "You also know that those entertainment journalists like to catch wind and shadow, take a few random videos, edit them, and use them to confuse the public Yes. Pie, I believe in Kim's character, she will never do such a sorry thing to you."
Yam's words echoed in his ears, and pie closed his eyes, thinking about it carefully. Would Kim do such a volatile thing?She believed from the bottom of her heart that the person she chose would never betray her, but pie had to be distracted by the daughter in the news. Kim's intimate titles for her, and their intimate relationship, are enough to make pie's heart flutter.
"Yam, I also trust Kim, she won't do such a thing."
Pie raised his eyes.
"But there are many things, it's better to confirm."
"Have you greeted the TV station and the magazine?"
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged, and the reports should all be withdrawn this afternoon."
It was past noon, and Kim and Xiaobao were sitting in their studio, busy.Kidd, who was recovering from a serious illness, also rushed over after hearing the news, helping to clear up the relationship with the media. As soon as Air set foot on European soil, a phone call brought back the news of the decision to sue, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.It seems that in the next second, the lace news about the Ling family will disappear from the public, but it seems that any news about the Ling family will take a long time to disappear from the topics of the people after dinner.
"If you let me catch the person who took the sneak shot, watch how I can chop him up!"
Kim was out of breath, gearing up for fisting, ten fingers clicked, and he was still talking nonsense.Xiao Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead and rubbed his eyes tiredly.
"Let's not talk about how to deal with them for the time being. It's just a recent matter, and it seems to be out of our control."
"Just like this time, we have no clue about a small scandal."
With his eyes closed, Kim tapped his forehead a few times with his clenched right hand.Although Kidd's innocence was proved in the last winery/death/lawsuit/judgment, the feeling of being tricked in such a big circle for no reason but having nothing to do made her very unhappy.Now this person is repeating his old tricks, and the target is directed at the Ling family.With such audacity, not to mention how angry Kim felt.
A punch landed on the table so hard that the cup jumped up slightly.
The phone in his pocket had been vibrating endlessly since just now, and Kim chose to ignore it.Unexpectedly, after pressing the hang-up button several times in a row, the caller was still reluctant.She was a little annoyed, and impatiently took out her mobile phone and put it to her ear, with a bad attitude.
"Hey, who is it?"
"Kim."
Pie's voice came from the other end of the phone, unusually cold, as if trying to suppress his emotions. Kim suddenly felt something was wrong, and moved away from the screen to take a look. Sure enough, all the calls just now were from pie, and he felt guilty for no reason.
"It's pie... Hey... Hey, is work going well? It's getting late, have you eaten yet?"
Kim's palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually hardened.Although it is half a city away, pie still seems to be able to see Kim's calm expression.
This time, pie is not so patient.
"I... saw the entertainment news."
she blurted out.
"Shouldn't you explain...what's going on?"
Hearing this, Kim closed his eyes helplessly and lowered his head.He tried every means to make pie avoid this news, but it was still a step too late.
She felt like her head was about to explode right now, damn it!
"Pie, things are not as reported by the media, listen..."
"Kim, actually for a long time I have been thinking about who you are. From the very beginning, you helped me get the interview done, you said she was your superior, and later on, your behavior and style are all similar to that of a leader. No difference. All these things have to make me suspect that you are not you. "
Pie's series of words made Kim speechless.
"Kim, how many secrets are there in your body? Can't even I know?"
There was embarrassment in the air, and they both held their breath.Facing pie's questioning, Kim covered his forehead with his palm, his eyes dimmed. Pie was also uncharacteristically, supporting the table with his arms, with a serious expression on his face.
Time, in the process of turning the second hand, passes by second by second.
Finally, Kim raised his eyelids slightly.
"pie."
Pie didn't answer, but pressed his ear to the receiver.
"The heroine in the news, the eldest lady of the Ling family on the mobile phone, Ling Zeqing's older sister."
Kim pauses.
"That's my own sister."
The words have come to this point, with Pie's intelligence, the rumors are naturally self-defeating.But for Pie, Kim's innocence has been proved, will she really feel at ease?Now, she seemed to have fallen into an even bigger black hole, covered with bitingly cold water.
"That is to say, you are the target that all the media have been trying to chase. Are all the things you said to me about identity before were lies?"
"...Yes."
Kim closed her eyes again, feeling a little tired.
"I think we each need to calm down."
Without giving Kim a chance to defend himself, Pie hung up the call.
After the truth came out, it didn't make people feel easy.
Kim and pie looked up at the gradually darkening sky outside the window at the same time.
It's going to change.
☆, visit
The person who said to calm down really cooled down quickly, with top-notch execution.
When Kim went back at night, the mess had been tidied up, the house was warm, and nothing seemed to have changed.After changing her shoes, she walked upstairs with heavy steps. She stood at the door of the bedroom, and the hand that was about to knock stopped in mid-air.
It was silent for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't muster up the courage to drop his hands, so he simply turned around and burrowed into the study.
Kim couldn't help panicking, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, shaking all the time.And pie lay sideways on the bed, with his back to the bedroom door, eyes closed.In fact, she was not asleep, she heard Kim's footsteps.
Across the door, maybe there will be a bright future, but she doesn't.
A sense of disappointment rose in Pie's heart.
The long night, in two rooms separated by a wall, is boundless.
Early the next morning, pie still went out to work as scheduled, and kim was still asleep in the study.There was a burst of noise on the private mobile phone, bringing the news that Ling Zhongtian would return to China today. Kim squinted her eyes and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the order Ling Zhongtian gave her in the next second was like a bolt from the blue.
The affairs in Southeast Asia have not been dealt with yet, so you fly over and follow up.
Kim, who was physically and mentally exhausted, couldn't hold back his temper in an instant. After arguing to no avail, he scratched his ears and cheeks irritably.
"Who cares about whoever loves this group, I'm quitting, sir!"
Even though she said that, she still packed her luggage with a suffocated stomach.My heart is in a mess, maybe using work to sort out my thoughts is also a good choice.
Kim slowly closed the zipper of the suitcase and began to think.
If he had confessed his identity from the very beginning, wouldn't the current situation have happened?
No one could imagine the things that wouldn't happen, she tapped her forehead hard twice, and shook her head vigorously.
I sent a message to pie informing me that I was going on a business trip again, but in the evening, I didn't wait for a reply. In desperation, Kim had to save dinner for her, and went to the airport alone.In the meantime, she called yam, but she hung up after only a few rings.Although it was expected, Kim still felt a little pimple in his heart, but the information that came later was also a bit of comfort.
— pie is with me.
I thought a lot, typed a lot, and seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end, Kim still deleted those love words that revealed his heart, leaving only a few words without showing emotion.
——Busy work, helpless to arrange.Everything is as usual at home, please convey.Also, take good care of her for me.
——Understood, Young Master Ling.
The information that text can convey is far less rich than face-to-face communication, and Kim can only sigh secretly, and put the phone back in his pocket indifferently.It seems that Yam also knows everything, and she should also be quite critical of her behavior.
Kim felt like he had really taken a big wrong step.
Until she sat on the plane and turned off her mobile phone, she was still in a daze, and flew to her destination as if she had lost her soul.
Time seems to be lost for a long time in an instant.
With a busy job to enrich his life, pie doesn't feel that life is boring.The two interviews I did for van received unanimous praise, and she finally proved herself a little bit, and her mood suddenly brightened.In fact, Pie was not so angry that she couldn't forgive her for the episode about Kim's identity some time ago. Kim's punctual and punctual messages every day have already wiped out the little temper in her heart, but pie just doesn't want to reply to her messages.She wanted the little wolf dog to fly back and explain clearly to herself face to face. After all, the status of the family needs to be clarified earlier.
Looking back at the bright sunshine outside the window, Pie was in a good mood.
Counting the days, Kim has been out for more than a week, judging by the situation, work should be very busy.It's good to be busy, since the layer of window paper has been pierced, then Kim should also take on the responsibility on his shoulders. Scholars take care of family and company, life and work.
Of course, the same goes for myself.
Just after finishing some of the odd jobs at hand, there was a task for Shanghai Casting. The pie is getting bigger, and I am not used to receiving a special award all of a sudden.The documents were piled up layer by layer, and she carefully took out the most difficult one, spread it out in front of her, and looked at it again and again.Sure enough, the last person who got out of this mess provided meager information, which shows how difficult it is. Pie bit the cap of his pen, and was frowning as he wondered where to start, when a gift box wrapped in a small cake fell from the sky, and it arrived in front of him.
"Brother Van!" Pie raised his head, and saw a familiar face, "You're back? How's it going, is Auntie's operation going well?"
"Thanks to you, the operation was very successful." Van placed the box neatly in front of pie, and adjusted his glasses, "There is no problem."
"Ah, that's really, really great!"
There are not many gorgeous rhetoric, pie's true feelings are revealed, but it makes van feel the real warmth and peace of mind.Her brows and eyes were curved, and she also smirked.This is a kind of joy from the heart, which is hard to experience when you are with Linda.So, van secretly made up his mind.
The beautiful smile in front of her must only belong to herself.
"Yeah, that's great." Van restrained his smile, "Mom can finally relax a little bit, and it's all thanks to you, pie."
"Why, do you want to invite me to dinner?" Pie looked like he saw through everything, "Actually, I didn't do anything, it's just a little effort."
"How could it be? Your credit is so great." Van leaned on the table with his elbows, "I heard about it as soon as I came back. Those two interview articles were written without technology, and even I was praised by the way. After a while. Pie, don’t shirk, get off work early today, and I’ll take you to a newly opened restaurant to try something new.”
"Um……"
Pie has always had little resistance to food, and since he expressed his attitude to Van last time, the relationship between Pie and him seems to have returned to the pure brother-sister model before, and those estrangements and embarrassments seem to be all at once. Disappeared with van's withdrawal.In this way, she couldn't find any reason to refuse.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, thank you Brother Van~"
"You're welcome."
Most of the whole day passed in these pleasant conversations.Knowing that Pie's next task is a bit tricky, Van is obliged to use the interpersonal relationship he has accumulated over the years to help out, and he has made some progress.
Of course, Linda has a panoramic view of everything that is harmonious and friendly.
As usual, keep silent.
For dinner, van took pie to a newly opened western restaurant near the city center.The chef's craftsmanship is first-class perfection, which was praised by pie.After drinking two glasses of fruit wine, their bodies gradually warmed up. The two of them walked out of the restaurant's door side by side, with hearty smiles on their faces.Suddenly a gust of cool wind hit, blowing away pie's hair and making her body tremble uncontrollably.
The weather is already so cold, I don't know if Kim has any clothes.
Pie's worry is very necessary, after all, she didn't look at Kim's luggage this time.The weather in Southeast Asia is also extremely hot, and the temperature difference from time to time has successfully made Kim sneezes several times.The plane has already circled over the land of the motherland, and it won't be long before she can return to the home she is so attached to and familiar with, and meet the person she misses so much.
Is she still mad at herself now? Kim doesn't know.This time on her return trip, she didn't tell anyone.Maybe it's been a long time, and then it suddenly falls from the sky, will it give pie a little surprise?Just thinking about it like this, the corner of Kim's mouth couldn't stop laughing.She took off the headset and put it back in her bag, leaning her back against the seat, eager to see what will happen later.
The night gradually darkened with the passage of minutes and seconds.
Pie sat in the passenger seat, quietly looking out the window at the street lights that were accelerating and retreating, feeling a little tired.It wasn't the first time she took van's car, but it was the first time she felt so open.
Perhaps, letting go of the knot is the best way to treat each other, pie really thinks so now.
Familiar street scene, familiar route, unknowingly, the car has parked in front of the house. Pie opened the door and got out of the car, and was about to say goodbye to Van, but saw him roll down the window.
"What? Don't you invite me in for a sit down?"
Pie was a little confused by this sudden sentence.
"It's been a long time since you moved, and I haven't seen what your new home looks like. Look at it, are you... inconvenient?"
"No...no." Pie flicked the broken hair on his forehead in embarrassment, "It's because I didn't think carefully, Brother Van, come in."
"Really?" Van smiled politely, "Don't force yourself."
"No, Brother Van... come in and sit down."
Although Van didn't force his words, his action of turning off the ignition and pulling out the key showed that he was quite interested in his new life.After thinking about it again and again, he felt that the refusal was really unreasonable, so pie had no choice but to comply with his request.While turning her back to open the door, she couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.
It's just an ordinary visit, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?
Pie told himself to be more careful.
The door opened, and a fresh breath rushed in. Van opened his eyes wide and looked around. This bungalow is the largest in the whole area in terms of area, and the decoration style that perfectly combines classic and modern also shows the unique taste of the owner of the house.In my impression, there are not many people who can have such financial resources.If combined with the age calculation, then...
"Brother Van, stop standing at the door, come in and sit down."
Pie's voice interrupted Van's thoughts at the right time.He raised his head and saw that pie had washed the tea set.With a slight bow, Van walked to the sofa and sat down, his eyes were gradually attracted by the books on the coffee table.
""The Interpretation of Dreams"?" Van picked up the top one and put it in his hand, turning it over and over again, "Do you like to read this type of book? I don't think I've seen you read it much before."
"Well, I didn't know about it before. Now I've been fascinated by it, and I like reading these books more and more."
Pie's hands kept moving, and within a few words, the bad smell was about to spread to the roof. Van picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip carefully, and let out a slow breath.For a moment, the mind became extraordinarily clear.
"I haven't cared about you for so long, I thought you still like to watch Hello Kitty."
Van's tone was light as a joke, which made pie feel very embarrassed.
"Brother Van, you made fun of me again." Pie muttered in a low voice, "I've been making fun of me since I was a child, I'm already in my 20s!"
"Ha, just kidding." Van laughed loudly, "Sorry, why don't you watch it now?"
"Well, I read less." Pie took the book back from Van's hand, "Now I read these esoteric books, but occasionally I read them with Kim."
"Oh? With her? Don't you feel bored?"
"No, I think she is happier than me every time."
"So that's it." Van nodded thoughtfully, "So, I actually lost here."
The calm tone and calm expression seemed to be as common as asking about the weather, but it made pie suddenly lose his mind.She couldn't see van's attitude clearly, nor could she figure out his deep meaning.
Neither of them spoke again.
At one point, the atmosphere almost dropped to freezing point.
At the end of the silence, it was van who broke the turbulent tranquility.
"How about today, let me accompany you to see it once."
After all, he turned on the TV by himself, tuned up the program with ease, supported his head with his hands, and watched carefully.He didn't care whether pie answered or not, he didn't even look at her, he just stared at the screen patiently, more devoted than anything else.
Pie felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she frowned.
Van's eyes are hidden under the pink reflective lenses projected by the TV show, so he can't see clearly.
Pie wants to come back early to be with her.
As long as he thinks of Kim, Pie can't stop smiling, and his mood seems to be brightened.Stomach porridge was cooking on the rice cooker in the kitchen, and when the timer ended, Kim could just wake up and eat the best flavor.Inside and out, pie checked everything again, and the food and clothing that should be prepared for Kim was also written on sticky notes and placed in a conspicuous place.
Huh, pie let out a long breath.
It might be too late to make breakfast for herself, so she just grabbed two pieces of dry bread and went out.Today's weather doesn't seem to be very good, pie pouted as he looked at the thick fog with visibility less than [-] meters.
Forget it, let's go out and take the bus.
Pie casually chewed and swallowed the last bite of bread in his mouth, and walked slowly into the mist.And behind her, a pair of eyes closely followed her, and her footsteps also followed.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, when Kim became conscious again, the fog outside the window had cleared and his stomach began to growl.Reluctantly accepting the fact that pie had already gone out to work, she straightened up, got up and went downstairs.The whole living room was fragrant, it was the rice fragrance that Pie made porridge for herself, which attracted the gluttons in her stomach to rush up.After a brief wash, he quickly trotted into the kitchen. While serving the porridge, Kim stared at the sticky notes around him and smirked.
Good wife and good mother, good wife and good mother.
Kim blew the porridge in the spoon to cool down a bit, and then slowly put it into his mouth.Take a sip and warm your heart.
It's really nice to have someone to accompany you.Plain and light, but sweet like a sugarcane.
It seems that it is time to prepare for a marriage proposal.
A wicked smile flitted across Kim's lips.
She was thinking about something in her head when the landline phone in the living room rang.She put down the bowl in her hand and was wondering, but she still didn't hesitate and picked it up directly.
"Kim? Where are you?"
When Xiaobao's voice came from the other end of the phone, Kim suddenly felt bad.
"Me? At home, what's the matter, Xiaobao, what's the matter?"
Kim's voice sounded normal, which made Xiaobao very flustered.
"Kim, turn on the TV, the entertainment channel, hurry up!"
Kim's eyebrows were furrowed together, she didn't know what happened to make Xiaobao so anxious.
But when she turned on the TV, the picture in front of her was so shocking that she could no longer speak.
☆, startling
Staring at the picture on the TV, Kim's facial features are all twisted together, like a wrinkled old rag, which is gray and decayed from top to bottom.
The hostess of the morning entertainment show was still wearing thick and delicate professional makeup as usual, and her gossiping smile fully revealed the excitement in every cell of her body.In a suspected candid video, Air is pacing in the shopping mall with his own arm.This video is not long, it has obviously been edited, and the patchwork is also full of information.At this time, in which store they are choosing what, and where are they going next time.The precise timing, rich content, and clear picture made Kim turn pale with shock.She even felt that this paparazzi seemed to be very close at hand.But she clearly remembered that at that time, apart from the bodyguards hiding in the dark, there were no strangers around her at all.
how can that be!
"This...this..."
At this moment, Kim was overwhelmed by the huge shock, and could no longer speak a complete sentence, and the remote control in his hand was about to be crushed.Listening to the heavy breathing coming from the other end of the phone, Xiaobao's nerves that were a little relaxed suddenly tensed up even more.
"Did you see it?" Xiao Bao pursed his lips, with a very displeased expression on his face, "What's going on?"
"I...I don't know." Kim's face was very ugly, "This...how is it possible?!"
"Now outside, it has spread all over the streets and alleys." Xiaobao's tone was a little anxious, "Newspapers, magazines, the Internet, and TV media are all about you. The turmoil at the winery has not passed a while ago, and the This path arises for no reason, Kim, Kim, do you know how dangerous your situation is right now?!"
Kim let out a long sigh, raised his hands and rubbed his temples which were throbbing wildly.She didn't know how to answer, and she didn't have any words to answer.The picture fragments in her mind flashed over and over again, but she never found any flaws.Looking up again, his eyes returned to the TV screen, and the person in the video was indeed himself.Although the face was not photographed, those who are familiar with him can tell at a glance that the figure is Kim.
How can you be so careless! Kim held his forehead, wanting to cry but no tears.
"Okay, I won't ask about the whole story. You're probably in the dark right now. I've contacted Air just now, but I haven't been able to. I heard from your housekeeper that she flew to Europe overnight. Kim, it's happened and we have to get it under control."
"What about pie? Has she read the news?"
Kim's heart, which had calmed down a bit, suddenly started beating wildly again.
"She... is not at home. She has something to do and has gone out to work."
Now Xiaobao was speechless, the series of things that happened this morning made him unbelievable.Now they are one head and two big.They, who have always acted in an upright manner, really couldn't figure out why this mysterious man wanted to frame Kim repeatedly.
Xiao Bao broke out in cold sweat all over his body.
"Kim, this matter is serious. While Pie is still working, let's deal with these non-existent scandals quickly, and we can't let them spread anymore."
"Okay, I'll come to you right now."
There was a wave of ups and downs, and Kim was about to jump up irritably.She gritted her teeth and turned off the TV, then slammed the remote control onto the sofa.Picking clothes at random and changing them, and not being able to control the mess in the house, Kim hurriedly grabbed the keys and rushed out the door.
If she still had time to look at herself in the glasses now, she would see a pair of bloodshot eyes and a decadent and dull face.
The clock passed a few ticks, and before I knew it, it was almost noon.
Pie put away his notebook and recording pen, and said goodbye to the president in front of him with a smile.It's been a long time since I had such a formal interview. Pie pulled on his formal coat, as if he wasn't used to it.She closed the door behind her softly, and looked at the neatly arranged desks in the lobby. Everyone was staring at the computer screen, and her fingers were flying across the keyboard.What they had on hand was the lunch that had been delivered long ago but had been put on hold until it got a bit cold.
Wow, being an employee of a big company is really hard work.
Pie raised his eyebrows, and quietly retreated to the elevator.Looking at the time, it was too late to go home and take a nap, and Yam was still working nearby, so this pair of close friends hit it off and decided to have a small party to connect with each other.For example, now, they are sitting in the box of the tea restaurant, staring at the tablet in front of them, choosing a variety of dishes.Picking up the teacups and clinking them, the two sisters finished all the recent greetings with tea instead of wine, and then unceremoniously grabbed the chopsticks and ate.
"Hey, let me say," Yam took a sip of the soup in the bowl, "Kim is willing to let you out for an interview? As far as I know, the president of the group you interviewed just now is notoriously lustful."
"What nonsense are you talking about again." Pie didn't even look at Yam, "He didn't do anything to me. Besides, I will pay attention to it myself, so I want you to talk more."
"Yes, yes, our pie has grown up, and I no longer need an old man like me to worry about her~"
After all, Yam smiled maliciously at pie. Pie ignored her and turned on the TV in the box by himself.
"It seems that your triangular relationship is resolved?" Yam smiled, and picked up the soup bowl again, "I see that your mood is much better than before."
"Yeah, it's resolved." Pie exhaled, "After listening to your suggestion, Brother Van and I explained it clearly, and it's the same with Kim, so it's finally easier."
"That's good." A smile appeared on Yam's face, "Seeing that your complexion is not very good, I thought something happened between fitting Kim."
Looking bad?Have it? Pie turned his head and looked at the reflection on the dark marble decoration around him, his eyebrows gathered together. Seeing her like this, Yam wanted to find some topic to ease the atmosphere, but by coincidence, his attention was gradually attracted by the noisy background sound on the TV.
What was being rebroadcasted on TV was the morning entertainment news, the one that was officially about Kim that came into view. Yam blinked quickly a few times, and couldn't believe the scene on TV.She turned her head, only to see pie staring at the scene on the screen, a face that was originally smiling, slowly turning into a liver color.
"You don't need to watch this kind of gossip." Yam turned off the TV resolutely, "You also know that those entertainment journalists like to catch wind and shadow, take a few random videos, edit them, and use them to confuse the public Yes. Pie, I believe in Kim's character, she will never do such a sorry thing to you."
Yam's words echoed in his ears, and pie closed his eyes, thinking about it carefully. Would Kim do such a volatile thing?She believed from the bottom of her heart that the person she chose would never betray her, but pie had to be distracted by the daughter in the news. Kim's intimate titles for her, and their intimate relationship, are enough to make pie's heart flutter.
"Yam, I also trust Kim, she won't do such a thing."
Pie raised his eyes.
"But there are many things, it's better to confirm."
"Have you greeted the TV station and the magazine?"
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged, and the reports should all be withdrawn this afternoon."
It was past noon, and Kim and Xiaobao were sitting in their studio, busy.Kidd, who was recovering from a serious illness, also rushed over after hearing the news, helping to clear up the relationship with the media. As soon as Air set foot on European soil, a phone call brought back the news of the decision to sue, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.It seems that in the next second, the lace news about the Ling family will disappear from the public, but it seems that any news about the Ling family will take a long time to disappear from the topics of the people after dinner.
"If you let me catch the person who took the sneak shot, watch how I can chop him up!"
Kim was out of breath, gearing up for fisting, ten fingers clicked, and he was still talking nonsense.Xiao Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead and rubbed his eyes tiredly.
"Let's not talk about how to deal with them for the time being. It's just a recent matter, and it seems to be out of our control."
"Just like this time, we have no clue about a small scandal."
With his eyes closed, Kim tapped his forehead a few times with his clenched right hand.Although Kidd's innocence was proved in the last winery/death/lawsuit/judgment, the feeling of being tricked in such a big circle for no reason but having nothing to do made her very unhappy.Now this person is repeating his old tricks, and the target is directed at the Ling family.With such audacity, not to mention how angry Kim felt.
A punch landed on the table so hard that the cup jumped up slightly.
The phone in his pocket had been vibrating endlessly since just now, and Kim chose to ignore it.Unexpectedly, after pressing the hang-up button several times in a row, the caller was still reluctant.She was a little annoyed, and impatiently took out her mobile phone and put it to her ear, with a bad attitude.
"Hey, who is it?"
"Kim."
Pie's voice came from the other end of the phone, unusually cold, as if trying to suppress his emotions. Kim suddenly felt something was wrong, and moved away from the screen to take a look. Sure enough, all the calls just now were from pie, and he felt guilty for no reason.
"It's pie... Hey... Hey, is work going well? It's getting late, have you eaten yet?"
Kim's palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually hardened.Although it is half a city away, pie still seems to be able to see Kim's calm expression.
This time, pie is not so patient.
"I... saw the entertainment news."
she blurted out.
"Shouldn't you explain...what's going on?"
Hearing this, Kim closed his eyes helplessly and lowered his head.He tried every means to make pie avoid this news, but it was still a step too late.
She felt like her head was about to explode right now, damn it!
"Pie, things are not as reported by the media, listen..."
"Kim, actually for a long time I have been thinking about who you are. From the very beginning, you helped me get the interview done, you said she was your superior, and later on, your behavior and style are all similar to that of a leader. No difference. All these things have to make me suspect that you are not you. "
Pie's series of words made Kim speechless.
"Kim, how many secrets are there in your body? Can't even I know?"
There was embarrassment in the air, and they both held their breath.Facing pie's questioning, Kim covered his forehead with his palm, his eyes dimmed. Pie was also uncharacteristically, supporting the table with his arms, with a serious expression on his face.
Time, in the process of turning the second hand, passes by second by second.
Finally, Kim raised his eyelids slightly.
"pie."
Pie didn't answer, but pressed his ear to the receiver.
"The heroine in the news, the eldest lady of the Ling family on the mobile phone, Ling Zeqing's older sister."
Kim pauses.
"That's my own sister."
The words have come to this point, with Pie's intelligence, the rumors are naturally self-defeating.But for Pie, Kim's innocence has been proved, will she really feel at ease?Now, she seemed to have fallen into an even bigger black hole, covered with bitingly cold water.
"That is to say, you are the target that all the media have been trying to chase. Are all the things you said to me about identity before were lies?"
"...Yes."
Kim closed her eyes again, feeling a little tired.
"I think we each need to calm down."
Without giving Kim a chance to defend himself, Pie hung up the call.
After the truth came out, it didn't make people feel easy.
Kim and pie looked up at the gradually darkening sky outside the window at the same time.
It's going to change.
☆, visit
The person who said to calm down really cooled down quickly, with top-notch execution.
When Kim went back at night, the mess had been tidied up, the house was warm, and nothing seemed to have changed.After changing her shoes, she walked upstairs with heavy steps. She stood at the door of the bedroom, and the hand that was about to knock stopped in mid-air.
It was silent for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't muster up the courage to drop his hands, so he simply turned around and burrowed into the study.
Kim couldn't help panicking, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, shaking all the time.And pie lay sideways on the bed, with his back to the bedroom door, eyes closed.In fact, she was not asleep, she heard Kim's footsteps.
Across the door, maybe there will be a bright future, but she doesn't.
A sense of disappointment rose in Pie's heart.
The long night, in two rooms separated by a wall, is boundless.
Early the next morning, pie still went out to work as scheduled, and kim was still asleep in the study.There was a burst of noise on the private mobile phone, bringing the news that Ling Zhongtian would return to China today. Kim squinted her eyes and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the order Ling Zhongtian gave her in the next second was like a bolt from the blue.
The affairs in Southeast Asia have not been dealt with yet, so you fly over and follow up.
Kim, who was physically and mentally exhausted, couldn't hold back his temper in an instant. After arguing to no avail, he scratched his ears and cheeks irritably.
"Who cares about whoever loves this group, I'm quitting, sir!"
Even though she said that, she still packed her luggage with a suffocated stomach.My heart is in a mess, maybe using work to sort out my thoughts is also a good choice.
Kim slowly closed the zipper of the suitcase and began to think.
If he had confessed his identity from the very beginning, wouldn't the current situation have happened?
No one could imagine the things that wouldn't happen, she tapped her forehead hard twice, and shook her head vigorously.
I sent a message to pie informing me that I was going on a business trip again, but in the evening, I didn't wait for a reply. In desperation, Kim had to save dinner for her, and went to the airport alone.In the meantime, she called yam, but she hung up after only a few rings.Although it was expected, Kim still felt a little pimple in his heart, but the information that came later was also a bit of comfort.
— pie is with me.
I thought a lot, typed a lot, and seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end, Kim still deleted those love words that revealed his heart, leaving only a few words without showing emotion.
——Busy work, helpless to arrange.Everything is as usual at home, please convey.Also, take good care of her for me.
——Understood, Young Master Ling.
The information that text can convey is far less rich than face-to-face communication, and Kim can only sigh secretly, and put the phone back in his pocket indifferently.It seems that Yam also knows everything, and she should also be quite critical of her behavior.
Kim felt like he had really taken a big wrong step.
Until she sat on the plane and turned off her mobile phone, she was still in a daze, and flew to her destination as if she had lost her soul.
Time seems to be lost for a long time in an instant.
With a busy job to enrich his life, pie doesn't feel that life is boring.The two interviews I did for van received unanimous praise, and she finally proved herself a little bit, and her mood suddenly brightened.In fact, Pie was not so angry that she couldn't forgive her for the episode about Kim's identity some time ago. Kim's punctual and punctual messages every day have already wiped out the little temper in her heart, but pie just doesn't want to reply to her messages.She wanted the little wolf dog to fly back and explain clearly to herself face to face. After all, the status of the family needs to be clarified earlier.
Looking back at the bright sunshine outside the window, Pie was in a good mood.
Counting the days, Kim has been out for more than a week, judging by the situation, work should be very busy.It's good to be busy, since the layer of window paper has been pierced, then Kim should also take on the responsibility on his shoulders. Scholars take care of family and company, life and work.
Of course, the same goes for myself.
Just after finishing some of the odd jobs at hand, there was a task for Shanghai Casting. The pie is getting bigger, and I am not used to receiving a special award all of a sudden.The documents were piled up layer by layer, and she carefully took out the most difficult one, spread it out in front of her, and looked at it again and again.Sure enough, the last person who got out of this mess provided meager information, which shows how difficult it is. Pie bit the cap of his pen, and was frowning as he wondered where to start, when a gift box wrapped in a small cake fell from the sky, and it arrived in front of him.
"Brother Van!" Pie raised his head, and saw a familiar face, "You're back? How's it going, is Auntie's operation going well?"
"Thanks to you, the operation was very successful." Van placed the box neatly in front of pie, and adjusted his glasses, "There is no problem."
"Ah, that's really, really great!"
There are not many gorgeous rhetoric, pie's true feelings are revealed, but it makes van feel the real warmth and peace of mind.Her brows and eyes were curved, and she also smirked.This is a kind of joy from the heart, which is hard to experience when you are with Linda.So, van secretly made up his mind.
The beautiful smile in front of her must only belong to herself.
"Yeah, that's great." Van restrained his smile, "Mom can finally relax a little bit, and it's all thanks to you, pie."
"Why, do you want to invite me to dinner?" Pie looked like he saw through everything, "Actually, I didn't do anything, it's just a little effort."
"How could it be? Your credit is so great." Van leaned on the table with his elbows, "I heard about it as soon as I came back. Those two interview articles were written without technology, and even I was praised by the way. After a while. Pie, don’t shirk, get off work early today, and I’ll take you to a newly opened restaurant to try something new.”
"Um……"
Pie has always had little resistance to food, and since he expressed his attitude to Van last time, the relationship between Pie and him seems to have returned to the pure brother-sister model before, and those estrangements and embarrassments seem to be all at once. Disappeared with van's withdrawal.In this way, she couldn't find any reason to refuse.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, thank you Brother Van~"
"You're welcome."
Most of the whole day passed in these pleasant conversations.Knowing that Pie's next task is a bit tricky, Van is obliged to use the interpersonal relationship he has accumulated over the years to help out, and he has made some progress.
Of course, Linda has a panoramic view of everything that is harmonious and friendly.
As usual, keep silent.
For dinner, van took pie to a newly opened western restaurant near the city center.The chef's craftsmanship is first-class perfection, which was praised by pie.After drinking two glasses of fruit wine, their bodies gradually warmed up. The two of them walked out of the restaurant's door side by side, with hearty smiles on their faces.Suddenly a gust of cool wind hit, blowing away pie's hair and making her body tremble uncontrollably.
The weather is already so cold, I don't know if Kim has any clothes.
Pie's worry is very necessary, after all, she didn't look at Kim's luggage this time.The weather in Southeast Asia is also extremely hot, and the temperature difference from time to time has successfully made Kim sneezes several times.The plane has already circled over the land of the motherland, and it won't be long before she can return to the home she is so attached to and familiar with, and meet the person she misses so much.
Is she still mad at herself now? Kim doesn't know.This time on her return trip, she didn't tell anyone.Maybe it's been a long time, and then it suddenly falls from the sky, will it give pie a little surprise?Just thinking about it like this, the corner of Kim's mouth couldn't stop laughing.She took off the headset and put it back in her bag, leaning her back against the seat, eager to see what will happen later.
The night gradually darkened with the passage of minutes and seconds.
Pie sat in the passenger seat, quietly looking out the window at the street lights that were accelerating and retreating, feeling a little tired.It wasn't the first time she took van's car, but it was the first time she felt so open.
Perhaps, letting go of the knot is the best way to treat each other, pie really thinks so now.
Familiar street scene, familiar route, unknowingly, the car has parked in front of the house. Pie opened the door and got out of the car, and was about to say goodbye to Van, but saw him roll down the window.
"What? Don't you invite me in for a sit down?"
Pie was a little confused by this sudden sentence.
"It's been a long time since you moved, and I haven't seen what your new home looks like. Look at it, are you... inconvenient?"
"No...no." Pie flicked the broken hair on his forehead in embarrassment, "It's because I didn't think carefully, Brother Van, come in."
"Really?" Van smiled politely, "Don't force yourself."
"No, Brother Van... come in and sit down."
Although Van didn't force his words, his action of turning off the ignition and pulling out the key showed that he was quite interested in his new life.After thinking about it again and again, he felt that the refusal was really unreasonable, so pie had no choice but to comply with his request.While turning her back to open the door, she couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.
It's just an ordinary visit, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?
Pie told himself to be more careful.
The door opened, and a fresh breath rushed in. Van opened his eyes wide and looked around. This bungalow is the largest in the whole area in terms of area, and the decoration style that perfectly combines classic and modern also shows the unique taste of the owner of the house.In my impression, there are not many people who can have such financial resources.If combined with the age calculation, then...
"Brother Van, stop standing at the door, come in and sit down."
Pie's voice interrupted Van's thoughts at the right time.He raised his head and saw that pie had washed the tea set.With a slight bow, Van walked to the sofa and sat down, his eyes were gradually attracted by the books on the coffee table.
""The Interpretation of Dreams"?" Van picked up the top one and put it in his hand, turning it over and over again, "Do you like to read this type of book? I don't think I've seen you read it much before."
"Well, I didn't know about it before. Now I've been fascinated by it, and I like reading these books more and more."
Pie's hands kept moving, and within a few words, the bad smell was about to spread to the roof. Van picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip carefully, and let out a slow breath.For a moment, the mind became extraordinarily clear.
"I haven't cared about you for so long, I thought you still like to watch Hello Kitty."
Van's tone was light as a joke, which made pie feel very embarrassed.
"Brother Van, you made fun of me again." Pie muttered in a low voice, "I've been making fun of me since I was a child, I'm already in my 20s!"
"Ha, just kidding." Van laughed loudly, "Sorry, why don't you watch it now?"
"Well, I read less." Pie took the book back from Van's hand, "Now I read these esoteric books, but occasionally I read them with Kim."
"Oh? With her? Don't you feel bored?"
"No, I think she is happier than me every time."
"So that's it." Van nodded thoughtfully, "So, I actually lost here."
The calm tone and calm expression seemed to be as common as asking about the weather, but it made pie suddenly lose his mind.She couldn't see van's attitude clearly, nor could she figure out his deep meaning.
Neither of them spoke again.
At one point, the atmosphere almost dropped to freezing point.
At the end of the silence, it was van who broke the turbulent tranquility.
"How about today, let me accompany you to see it once."
After all, he turned on the TV by himself, tuned up the program with ease, supported his head with his hands, and watched carefully.He didn't care whether pie answered or not, he didn't even look at her, he just stared at the screen patiently, more devoted than anything else.
Pie felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she frowned.
Van's eyes are hidden under the pink reflective lenses projected by the TV show, so he can't see clearly.
