Inertia gentle

Unknowingly, the weather in city A has gradually warmed up, and the day when the court session is approaching is getting closer.

After the last snowfall, the trees on the side of the road began to sprout green buds.

Ye Yi was busy with work, just picked up the scarf and put it on, when the secretary said that Gu Xiaoyue called and asked Ye Yi if he would answer.

Ye Yi paused and said, "Come in."

While Ye Yi was putting on her coat, she picked up the phone, and Gu Xiaoyue's lively voice came from the other side: "Ye Yi? I called you a few times just now, but you didn't answer, so I called your company."

"Yeah." Ye Yi glanced at the cell phone on the table, it was displaying several missed calls.

Gu Xiaoyue: "My sister is back, let's get together!"

Ye Yi: "I still have something to do today, so I won't go."

Gu Xiaoyue pestered her and said, "Come here, I have something to tell you, my sister has come back after a while, you probably haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you refuse without showing any sympathy."

"Let's talk another day."

"I really have something important to tell you." Gu Xiaoyue said seriously.

Ye Yi glanced at his watch, the time agreed with the lawyer was coming soon, he said, "I'm going out now."

Speaking of Ye Yi was about to hang up, Gu Xiaoyue said anxiously: "Wait."

Ye Yi waited, but Gu Xiaoyue suddenly fell silent, stopping for a few seconds before speaking.

"Ye Yi, why are you a little cold?" The tone was full of confusion.

Ye Yi didn't want to be perfunctory to him, so he slowed down his voice: "Xiaoyue, if what you want to tell me is that Uncle Gu participated in Ye Zhili's forging of the will, I already know about it, and I will investigate clearly."

Suddenly there was no voice over there, and after a while the voice came from the phone again, but it was Gu Xiaoqing who answered the phone, she said calmly: "Ye Yi, we should talk."

Ye Yi and Gu Xiaoqing made an appointment to meet in a cafe.

The former Ome was sitting by the window, stirring the coffee, glancing at the scenery outside from time to time, with an elegant and quiet demeanor.

Ye Yi stopped in her tracks. At this moment, Gu Xiaoqing seemed to have sensed something. She turned her head and looked at Ye Yi. When she saw Ye Yi, she smiled and said, "You're here."

Ye Yi went to sit opposite her, glanced around, but did not see Gu Xiaoyue's figure: "Where is Xiaoyue?"

Gu Xiaoqing shook her head and said, "I'm too scared by your attitude to come here."

Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, there is no sense of unfamiliarity between the two, but there is also no joy that should be felt when reuniting after a long absence, because today's topic is destined to be unhappy.

Gu Xiaoqing sighed in her heart, in fact, she didn't want a reunion in this situation either.

"Just now you stood over there looking at me, what were you thinking?" she asked.

Ye Yi: "Things are different from people."

"I'm also surprised that this cafe hasn't changed much for so many years." Hearing this, Gu Xiaoqing tilted her head, showing some girlish movements expressionlessly, without any sense of disobedience: "I'm not human... I've changed a lot?"

Ye Yi shook his head and said: "It's not that you have changed, but it's only now that I realize that I don't know the people around me."

Gu Xiaoqing looked at Ye Yi, who was as handsome and elegant as ever, with warm and calm eyes - but she knew what kind of stubbornness was hidden under such a blunt appearance.

Gu Xiaoqing asked straightforwardly: "How did you know about your father?"

Ye Yi said indifferently: "I got the equity agency agreement left by my father, which has your father's signature as a notary."

Gu Xiaoqing paused, surprised: "The agreement... is still there." Both she and Gu Shen thought that Ye Zhili must have found it and destroyed it.

"Yes, still." Ye Yi said slowly, he stretched out his fingers, and lightly touched the snow-white porcelain cup on the table, warm breath came from his fingertips.Gu Xiaoqing ordered him a cup of coffee, which was the taste of the past.

He still remembered the hesitation and surprise when he saw Gu Shen's signature on the agreement.

Thinking of all the past, everything suddenly became clear.

Gu Shenming knew the existence of this agency agreement, but never mentioned it to him. He knew that Ye Zhili had forged his will, but he acquiesced in his behavior. Years of concealment deceived him.

What made Ye Yi even more dumbfounded was that Gu Shen's support and help in the early years has always been in his heart. Even if the other party used him, Ye Yi felt that feelings still occupy an important position.

In the end, apart from taking advantage of it, that little feeling was actually caused by guilt.

Compared with the incomprehension and anger when he was betrayed by Xiao Liu, it seemed to ignite a fire in his heart. This time, before the fire in his heart was ignited, he was wiped out, leaving only some ashes.

not worth it.

Ye Yi thought calmly.

Gu Xiaoqing took a deep breath: "I know you must be very angry, but my father is not as miserable as you think... He is very regretful and sorry."

Ye Yi: "He didn't tell me."

Gu Xiaoqing smiled wryly: "...on the day of the court session, my father will appear in court to testify against Ye Zhili's forged will. This is his apology."

This means that Gu Shen will admit the mistakes he has made in front of everyone. One can imagine how much criticism he will receive for such a respected elder.

"No need." Ye Yi said.

His tone was cold and firm: "Whether he testifies in court or not, Ye Zhili's behavior will be made public in the end, and your father's behavior will be the same."

Wanting peace of mind, how can it be so simple, if the other party has the heart, he should have told him the truth long ago.

"Don't do this..." Gu Xiaoqing tried her best to persuade her, "My father's help is not harmful to you."

It is better to come forward and accuse Ye Zhili of saving his fault and be criticized than to take the initiative to confess, rather than lose face and reputation after being exposed.

But Ye Yi didn't seem to want to give them this chance.

Gu Xiaoqing had a headache. She originally thought that the agency agreement no longer existed, so her father's testimony was very important. Now that the agreement is in Ye Yi's hands, there is such a solid physical evidence. Her father testified in court.

——That alone was a big enough blow to her father.

Gu Xiaoqing: "Think again, don't make a decision so quickly."

Ye Yi suddenly said: "You already knew about these things before we were together."

Gu Xiaoqing paused: "Yes."

It seemed that he was the last to know.

Gu Xiaoqing looked at Ye Yi's expression: "You hate me now?"

Ye Yi looked at her as if looking at a stranger, but his tone was very flat: "He is your father, you have difficulties."

"I know that having difficulties is not an excuse to hide from you." Gu Xiaoqing felt a trace of bitterness in her heart.

"Even if you don't forgive my father and hate me, but one thing is very important... Xiaoyue didn't know it before. He admired you very much. After knowing these things, he ran over to tell you that I stopped him. Not so long ago... as you should remember, he was innocent."

Ye Yi looked at his watch: "I'm leaving." He postponed meeting with the lawyer for half an hour.

Ye Yi's attitude has always been calm, without anger, accusations or accusations.

"Wait." Gu Xiaoqing said, "Aren't you going to say something?"

Ye Yi thought for a while, and repeated what he said before: "I thought I understood you all, but in the end I realized that I didn't see everything. You, Uncle Gu, Xiao Liu, and Xie Chengjing..."

Gu Xiaoqing: "Xie Chengjing?"

Ye Yi seemed to realize suddenly that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he kept silent.

Seeing Ye Yi's appearance, Gu Xiaoqing immediately understood: "It seems that you already know what he thinks of you."

And that's all.

Ye Yi frowned all of a sudden: "You know?"

Gu Xiaoqing: "It's obvious to me that he likes you."

Ye Yi glanced at her in surprise, but also slightly annoyed.

"... Couldn't be more obvious?"

Everyone else knew that it took him so long to find out.

Ye Yi hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Forget it, when did you notice it, it's useless for me to ask, it's all over now."

When we met today, only when Xie Chengjing was mentioned, Ye Yi's cold to unfamiliar expression changed a little, Gu Xiaoqing noticed it.

"After knowing his feelings for you, do you just avoid him, wanting to wait until he figured it out for himself, and then restore friendship with him again?"

Gu Xiaoqing took a sip of coffee, but her eyes never left Ye Yi.

Ye Yi: ...

Ye Yi endured it, and still asked: "...how did you guess it?"

Gu Xiaoqing said: "Don't guess, you are too timid and cautious about your relationship, you dare not take a step casually, and when it doesn't meet your expectations, you will back off."

"As for repairing the friendship..."

Gu Xiaoqing shook her head: "How can you still have such a naive idea? He has been persistent for so many years, so he doesn't want to be just a friend anyway. If you don't like him, it's better to leave. With Xie Chengjing's character, The more you procrastinate, the more dangerous you become."

Ye Yi retorted subconsciously: "You don't understand, Xie Chengjing is not dangerous."

Gu Xiaoqing raised her head in surprise, seeing Ye Yi's seriousness: "Your protection for him is unexpected..."

She paused, and then said: "It's not my prejudice. He is indeed a dangerous guy. You'd better stay away from him. After all, he was forbearing before because he boiled the frog in warm water. Now the frog knows that he is in the pot. If you don't Be obedient, maybe he will use other means."

……

Walking slowly on the road, Ye Yi was still thinking about the conversation with Gu Xiaoqing.

In the evening, a large area of ​​sunset light is reflected on the glass curtain wall of the building, and the endless sidewalk is at the rush hour of getting off work.

Timid and cautious?

Xie Chengjing seemed to have said similar things that day.

Turning into a quiet path, the trees that were flourishing in summer are now desolate. Between the bare tree trunks, the wind whistled, and Ye Yi pulled up the scarf to cover her face.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

A strange scene suddenly came into his eyes.

Not far away, a man and a woman stood facing each other. The girl raised a sweet smile and was talking to the handsome man.

The man stood tall. Although he didn't show any expression, he listened quietly and let the girl get excited and hold his hand.

It was Xie Chengjing and the Miss Zhang whom I met that day.

Like a pair of Bi people, the setting sun stretched their shadows very long, as if they were cuddling each other.

They didn't see him.

Ye Yi paused, put her hand into the windbreaker jacket, turned her leather shoes in one direction, and walked calmly in another direction.

The wind blew the corner of his clothes, and Ye Yi took two steps to distance himself from Xie Chengjing.

Just like what Gu Xiaoqing said, it's easier to leave.

……

People coming and going looked strangely at this young man standing motionless in the middle of the road.

Ye Yi recovered from being accidentally bumped into.

Forget it, it's too late now, and he doesn't want to go to a lawyer anymore, so he can call and cancel the meeting later.

Ye Yi sighed against the cold air.

I don't know what to say, give the little angels a blessing, okay?
