 Unexpectedly, after so many years, he used several times the courage and perseverance of others to stand here and even " abduct " his precious daughter away.
    Xiao Zhiyuan smiled and said meaningfully: " What can money and status teach people? The ability to collect famous cars and watches? The appreciation for red wine and cigars? Or the attraction to beautiful women? No, Yun Sheng, I miss you I know as well as I do. These things, as long as you have money and status, are too easy to learn. On the contrary, what I value, perseverance, tenacity, waiting, and patience, can only breed when there is no money and status. At this time, money and status became obstacles instead.

Sang Zijin's heart twitched slightly, her elder sister looked like this, she seemed to have known each other ... when the friends around her were in love, it was also like this. She pursed her lips, lowered her head and smiled, waited until her sister turned her attention back to the dinner, then tilted her head and asked, "Sister, are you in love? "

Xia Ziman was startled, the blush on his cheeks deepened a little, but he didn't deny it, just smiled and asked, "What? "

Sang Zijin's intuition was confirmed again, and she asked with some joy, "Sister, when will you take me to see my brother-in-law? "

" When the time is right. " Xia Ziman said to his sister generously, "I'll go to the bathroom. "

Sang Zijin was absent-mindedly drinking lemonade when Xia Ziman's cell phone on the table vibrated and the screen lit up. She didn't mean to look at it , but the text message had already hit her eyes——

The number is a string of numbers, my sister didn't save it in the address book, and the sentence she sent was simple, "Hey, I've worked hard today, go to bed early. " Although it is simple, it is very intimate.

Sang Zijin looked away, since her sister didn't want her to know now, she didn't ask. During the meal, Xia Ziman, like Xiao Zhiyuan, asked about Sang Zijin's future plans at the same time.

After hearing Sang Zijin's own plan, Xia Ziman didn't say much, just smiled and asked: "Zijin, do you have a boyfriend? "

Sang Zijin's chopsticks shook for a bit, then he calmed down again, "Not yet. "

" Your age is the best time to fall in love! Is there anyone you like? " Xia Ziman chased after her, with an extremely serious expression on her delicately made-up face.

" I'm busy working and attending classes, how can I have time? " Sang Zijin said in a low voice.

Xia Ziman was silent for a while, and continued to look at her sister. Sang Zijin is still very simple to wear. The white shirt doesn't seem to be close-fitting, but it has been washed clean. The black knee-length skirt and mid-heeled shoes are plain but quiet. She often gives money to Sang Zijin, always worrying that she will be short of money. But it seems that she accepts it every time, more like comforting herself, but she stubbornly refuses to use it. Xia Ziman suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling that she had been separated from her sister for more than ten years, and her life trajectory was different. Her life was far better than that of Sang Zijin. But in Sang Zijin's eyes, there is no estrangement or jealousy. She is attached to herself like a child, but lives independently and hard, as if she is worried that she will drag herself down.

A trace of guilt flashed inadvertently in her beautiful eyes, Xia Ziman leaned forward and patted her sister's shoulder, "My sister won't let you work so hard in the future. "

Sang Zijin didn't make a sound, but his eyes were slightly red. After a long time, he controlled his emotions and changed the subject and asked, "Sister, do you think Shangwei will really be acquired? "

Xia Ziman's expression was slightly serious, and after serious consideration, he said lightly: "Guangke is indeed in full swing now, and the management of Shangwei has just been replaced, so it depends on how Mr. Xiao responds. "

" Do you have confidence in him? " Sang Zijin was a little worried.

Xia Ziman tilted her head. Under the orange light of the restaurant, she smiled softly and replied softly: " Yes. "

Sang Zijin got off the car at the school gate, watched her sister's car gradually leave, but did not enter the gate, instead called a taxi, "Please go to Shangwei Heavy Industry. "

When he got downstairs, Sang Zijin looked up, and there was only one light strip in the whole building ... it was Xiao Zhiyuan's department. She thought about it and texted him first, "Can I come up? "

It took a while to get his reply, "go to my office first, I'm still in a meeting. "

Sang Zijin carefully bypassed the conference room and went straight to Xiao Zhiyuan's office. The window was half open, sending in a cool breeze from time to time. Sang Zijin saw a large pile of documents on the desktop, the computer screen saver flickering, and thick ash accumulated in the ashtray. In her impression, Xiao Zhiyuan didn't smoke ... She couldn't help but sighed in distress, and looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock.

While waiting for him, Sang Zijin turned on the computer to write a thesis, and after an unknown amount of time, she opened her eyes in a daze, and she was already sleeping on the sofa. And Xiao Zhiyuan was sitting at the table, devouring the dumplings he brought, with messy documents in hand, looking embarrassed.

She sat up, and the clothes covering her body fell to the ground. Xiao Zhiyuan wiped his mouth casually and raised his eyebrows at her, "Are you awake? "

" What time is it? "

" Thirty-five one o'clock. " Xiao Zhiyuan looked at his watch.

Sang Zijin's drowsiness was gone, she sat up agitated, and said hurriedly, "Why didn't you wake me up? "

" I see you slept soundly ..." Xiao Zhiyuan said innocently, "Besides, it was already late when you came. "

Sang Zijin frowned, staring at his "innocence " with a sly expression, and finally couldn't help crying, "Thedormitory building has been closed. "

He finally succeeded, and threw the chopsticks with a smile, "Then you can come home with me, wife. "

Sang Zijin gave a "bah " and stared at him angrily. After a long time, he finally burst out laughing, "Hey, you still have chili sauce on the corner of your mouth. " She tiptoed to wipe it for him, Xiao Zhiyuan let her Approaching, the soft fingertips brushed against the lips, and the stress and tension of the day disappeared in an instant.

" Wait. " The moment she was about to leave, Xiao Zhiyuan grabbed her wrist with a low voice.

" Huh? " His brows and eyes were so handsome, but his voice was soft and playful, "I'll help you wipe ... drool too. "

When Sang Zijin was brought back to the apartment by Xiao Zhiyuan, he was already in a drowsy sleep, and after entering the elevator, he leaned on Xiao Zhiyuan's shoulder, unable to open his eyes. He patted her face to wake her up, " Here we go. "

Sang Zijin woke up a little bit, he had already shaken her hand, and went to unlock the combination locks one by one.

" What? "

He patiently reported a string of numbers and told her the password, "Remember? "

" Huh? " Sang Zijin became more sober, "What number? "

He said it again and poked her forehead, "Remember? "

Sang Zijin grunted and said, "Remember, he smiled and hugged her, "Go to sleep quickly. Do not have to work tomorrow. "

Sang Zijin woke up very early the next day, which was her old habit. Because I have to work the next day, no matter how late I read and reviewed the night before, I have to get up no matter how sleepy I am.

When I turned over and sat up, I was still a little confused, not knowing where I was for a while. Outside the window, the first rays of morning glow faintly fall in through the undrawn curtains, and the city's clear outline has begun to become clear. She slowly remembered that she was at Xiao Zhiyuan's home.

Sang Zijin got up quickly, and quietly pushed open the door, only to see Xiao Zhiyuan sitting in the living room, maybe he hadn't slept all night, staring at the table with a dazed expression. Seeing her coming out, he smiled and said, "Thelaptop is in the company, and I used your email. "

Sang Zijin said "oh " , walked over and saw her mobile phone on the table, and there were a few missed calls and text messages on it, she said "ah " , "it must be my sister who asked me if I went to school . ”

He didn't sleep all night, his eye sockets were covered with blue and black circles, and the stubble on his chin protruded densely, his expression became calm, "Why did you wake up so early? "

Sang Zijin replied to her sister's text message and said, "I'm used to it, I can't sleep. I used to rush to work. "

He pushed away the computer and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist. He didn't know whether it was distressed or emotional, and he let out a "hmm " .

" Staying up late? " Sang Zijin let him hold her and didn't push her away. "I'll make you breakfast, and you can go to sleep after eating. "

"I have to go to the airport for a business trip in a while. " Xiao Zhiyuan rubbed his brows, feeling tired.

" Hey, is the company's situation serious? " Sang Zijin pulled his hand away worriedly.

He was noncommittal, but raised the corners of his lips slightly, and joked with her like an urchin in the depths of his eyes, "Don't you have confidence in me? "

" No. " Sang Zijin replied very seriously, "I was just thinking that other people's words are not that important. After all, you are doing your best. You should have the most confidence in yourself. "

He suddenly fell silent, turned his face slightly, and buried his head on her shoulder. For some reason, he said in a muffled voice, "Zijin ..."

" Huh? "

" Do you trust me? "

" Believe it. " She was a little confused.

After a long time, he raised his head, his voice was low and firm, " In thefuture ... you will trust me no matter what? "

Even he is like a child begging for candy when he is not confident, Sangzi repeated with a smile, "Even if everyone in the world lies to me, I will believe you. "

However, after a long time, Sang Zijin finally understood a truth.

In this world, there is no absolute emotion, such as love, such as trust, but there is ... absolute hate.

It is absolute hatred, which can make people recover from extreme pain and sustain it until now.

Sang Zijin suddenly withdrew from her memories. In the slightly hot night, she shivered shiveringly, violently shook off the hands behind her that were trying to support her, and strode back to the apartment without looking back.

In the past two days, the working hours of the reporters in Wencheng City have consciously doubled, especially the economic and entertainment editions.

In the Guangchang bidding case, everyone thought that Shangwei was out, but at the last moment, Xiao Zhiyuan turned the tide and was shortlisted in the name of Donglin Investment, killing a beautiful return. Financial experts were busy analyzing who might end up with Guangchang, and many people turned their attention to Guangke, Shangwei’s biggest competitor, and asked how the latter would respond. However, at the center of the storm, both Fang Jialing and Xiao Zhiyuan avoided the reporter's interview, and no one responded.

Compared with the somewhat reserved economic reporters, the entertainment reporters who have already broken their integrity are much braver. The car is downstairs at Shangwei Building at any time, looking for clues of "Mrs. Xiao " when it catches someone.

Ever since a certain daily newspaper published a brief statement from Xiao Zhiyuan's spokesman, announcing that Xiao Zhiyuan had concealed the news of his marriage for nearly five years, the battle for headlines has become intense. Even the old man Xiao was affected, but the old man was in a good mood, so he just said lightly: "That's what happened. "

" Is this the tacit consent of the family? Mr. Xiao's image to the outside world is not very stable, why did he hide it for so many years?

And the answer given by the old man is: "I don't care about young people's affairs. "

Sang Zijin read the newspaper in the office, and continued to work with a calm expression.

The internal line rang, and she pressed the speakerphone.

" Zijin, Mr. Fang asked you to come over. "

Sang Zijin replied "OK " , stood up and walked to the door, he didn't know what he thought of, and stopped again, went back and opened the drawer, and took out a piece of paper.

As the elevator went up all the way, she lowered her head and looked at her shoes, her fingertips touched the thin and tough paper in her pocket, her thoughts were unprecedentedly clear.

She walked to the door of Fang Jialing's office and knocked lightly twice.

" Please come in. " Fang Jialing turned around from the chair, his face was against the light, and his smile was as gentle and elegant as ever.

Sang Zijin remembered how the media described Fang Jialing and Xiao Zhiyuan: "They seem to have always used their good side to deal with the public. They have a good family background, and their expressions are elegant and indifferent, making them elusive. "

Elegant and indifferent? Sang Zijin couldn't help laughing, he had seen Xiao Zhiyuan's rough, bad, and even out-of-control side many times. On the other hand, Fang Jialing, no matter when, even when Xiao Zhiyuan counterattacked desperately, he remained calm as always.

" Mr. Fang, before you talk to me, I'd better give this to you. " Sang Zijin calmly handed over the paper.

Fang Jialing didn't answer it, he just smiled and asked, "Resignation letter? "

" I'm afraid I'll be a little embarrassed when we meet on certain occasions in the future. " Sang Zijin paused, "Besides, I still have some private matters to deal with, so I'm afraid I won't be interested in working. "

His eyes dimmed, and he watched the subtle changes in her expression calmly. After a long time, he said softly: "Zijin, I'm sorry, the following words may involve some family affairs and privacy, but I still hope to be honest with you talk about it. "

Sang Zijin slightly raised his eyebrows.

" You're looking around for a divorce lawyer, aren't you? "

Her response was much calmer than he expected, "You'll know, I'm not surprised at all. "

Fang Jialing looked at her slightly raised face, a little astonished. If Sang Zijin was gentle and kind in the past, even a little low-browed and pleasing to the eye, then now, although she is a little more emaciated, it seems that something has come back to life, and there is a persistence and tenacity hidden between her brows.

" Do you need my help? " Fang Jialing said mildly.

" When necessary, I don't think I will be polite. " Sang Zijin said generously, "You know, I haven't reached the end of the road yet. "

" I'll accept the letter of resignation first. You are welcome to come back anytime after this turmoil is over. "

It took until Friday to complete all the resignation procedures, and no one in the department knew about this change for the time being. When Sang Zijin returned to the office, Xiao Zheng sent her the documents and habitually gossiped, "Boss, my recent idol has changed from Mr. Fang to his deadly enemy. "

" Xiao Zhiyuan? " She didn't even lift her head.

"I didn't expect him to be so fickle in the past. He already has a wife and children. He is such a good man. " Xiao Zheng swallowed.

" Bah, how do you know that she is a fake womanizer? " Sang Zijin smiled wryly.

" Just look at Xiao Zhengping and you'll know it! That's a true love, and it hurts his wife and children so much! "

" Okay, don't be so wordy, hurry up and send this stack of reports.

The office door was gently closed, and Sang Zijin's cell phone rang. She glanced at it first, and answered it because it wasn't the number she hated.

" Mommy, Lele wants to eat ... ribs tonight. " Lele probably just woke up, and still has some slurred speech.

" Mummy knows. " Sang Zijin replied softly, "What else would Lele want to eat? "

" Well, Dad will come back for dinner tonight. " The little guy added.

Sang Zijin was silent for a while, unable to bear to let her daughter down, so she said " yes" lightly .

That night seemed to have passed for a long time, and it seemed like it was still yesterday. She didn't want to recall so many details, except for the last slap.

In the dark night, she saw his thin lips move slightly, "Give me a child, and I will let you go. "

She couldn't bear it anymore, as if all the strength in her body was accumulated in her right hand, she slapped her hard.

In fact, he could escape, but he didn't. Standing straight like this, deep in his eyes was a kind of piercing sadness, as if ... as if he was the one who was hurt.

The red fingerprints on the cheeks immediately appeared. She stared at him fiercely, and bit her lower lip hard, "Xiao Zhiyuan, you have insulted me for more than four years ... is it really not enough? "

Insult ... insult ... the word seemed to bounce in the eardrums. Xiao Zhiyuan wanted to move his lips, even if it was an angry expression ... but he couldn't show it, he just looked at her exhausted

" Do you remember? When I first met you, I said that even if all the people in the world lied to me, I would fall in love with you. " She looked up at him and said word by word, "But there is a sentence I never told you. "

" Thank you for ruining my trust. "

When Sang Zijin came home, Lele and Xiao Zhiyuan were there.

During this time, her attitude towards Xiao Zhiyuan was as cold as ever, she didn't say a word, even in front of her daughter.

Lele obviously felt something, and tried hard to take on the role of a small mediator.

" Dad, can you help mom, Lele is hungry. " The little guy desperately pushed his father into the kitchen, then winked at him slyly, and ran out happily.

There were only two people in the kitchen, and the heat lifted the lid of the pot, making a sizzling sound. Sang Zijin wore an apron, took a sip of the hot soup carefully, and then served the soup, ready to let her daughter drink a bowl first.

" Is there anything I can help with? " Xiao Zhiyuan took half a step forward and rolled up his sleeves.

She turned a blind eye and walked around him with a small bowl, "Lele, have some soup first. "

When she went back to the kitchen, Xiao Zhiyuan was still leaning against the counter, with a helpless tone, "Youreally don't plan to talk to me? "

" There's nothing to talk about. " Sang Zijin pursed her lips and finally said, "I already told you what I thought that day. "

" You have been looking for so many lawyers these days, can't you recognize the reality? " There was finally a hint of toughness in his flat voice, "You know I will never let go. "

" You also know that I have no other advantages, only one thing: I can't give up what I believe in. I'm divorced from this marriage. "

Xiao Zhiyuan frowned slightly, his thin lips seemed to be as sharp as a blade, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by a terrified cry at the door——

Lele held the bowl and blinked blankly, " Mom andDad...are you going to divorce? Don't you want Lele? "

Seeing that teardrop was about to roll down, Sang Zijin ran forward first, picked up her daughter, and comforted her in a low voice: "Mom won't want Lele, Lele don't cry. "

Lele raised her head suspiciously, looked at her father with tears in her eyes, and said with a sob, "Then Mommy, don't you want your father? "
