Si Boyian stood alone in the smoking area, lit a cigarette, leaned against the guardrail and sucked it into his heart one breath at a time.
[The young mistress also asked me how to make fish cakes, but...it’s hard for her. A young lady who doesn’t touch Yangchun water with her fingers burned several blisters, but she didn’t even say a word about the pain.]
Fish cakes are a distant memory.
If Chen Juan hadn't opened the floodgates of memories, perhaps Si Bo Nian would never remember it again in this life.
That day, he returned to Los Angeles after a long flight from the inspection tour of the New York branch. It was already past one o'clock in the dead of night, and a floor lamp was on in the living room. When he was putting his luggage away, he noticed that Lu Enxi was curled up on the sofa and asleep.
There is a plate of fish cakes on the dining table.
When he got up the next day, he passed by the restaurant and saw the plate of fish cakes again. He frowned and said, "Why didn't you throw it away?"
Lu Enxi was a little anxious, "I made that, do you want to try it?"
He said, "Can I eat the food you spent the night with?"
Then he picked up the plate and threw it into the trash can along with the food.
What was Lu Enxi's expression at that time? Lost? Sad? Wrongful?
He couldn't even remember it at all.
It turned out that she burned her fingers while making fish cakes, just to give him a surprise after returning from a long distance.
Si Boyian took a long puff of cigarette in frustration, and nicotine rushed into his lungs, making him cough several times.
Si Nan hurriedly said, "Third brother, where are you? Grandpa is awake and wants you to come over."
Si Bo Nian put out his cigarette butt and said, "Just come."
Si Guanlin, who was on the hospital bed, looked bad. The elderly man had been tortured by illness for a while and his energy was greatly reduced. "You all go out first."
Before Si Gengyao left, he patted his son on the shoulder and specifically warned him, "Be careful what you say. If you irritate grandpa again, I will break your legs."
Si Ming saw the little actions of their father and son and left quietly.
In the ward, there is a faint fragrance of flowers in the smell of disinfectant, and bright light pours in from outside the window screen, and the hot June day is isolated from the glass.
Si Boyian sat on the chair beside the bed, "Grandpa."
Si Guanlin patted the edge of the bed, "Do you still think of me as your grandfather?"
In order not to irritate his grandfather, Si Bo Nian swallowed his rebuttal and obeyed, "Don't be angry."
Si Guanlin looked coldly at the descendant he was most proud of, disappointment flowing out of the corner of his eyes, "Do you have to destroy your future? Ah? Why are you still entangled with Lu Enxi?"
Sure enough, it was as he guessed.
"Yesterday was an accident."
"What accident? Do you think I am blind and deaf and don't know anything? Humph! Ever since you asked her to file a lawsuit for KM, you have been in private contact with her whenever you have something to do. On the surface, it is about work, but in fact it is...
It’s unclear how to hook up.”
Si Bo Nian frowned, "Grandpa, you are the respected Taishan Beidou, shouldn't such words come from your mouth, right?"
"Stop hating me!" Si Guanlin said angrily, "Dai Yutong suddenly changed his mind. Is it you or her who is behind this?"
Si Boyian said, "It has nothing to do with her."
Si Guanlin's face turned red because of his anger, "That's you. What do you want to do? Drive Dai Yutong away and get back together with Lu Enxi. You've given up on this idea."
Seeing that grandpa was in poor condition, Si Bo Nian hurriedly calmed his breathing and said, "Lu Enxi and I are only in a cooperative relationship and are not involved in our children's personal affairs. Grandpa doesn't need to be angry."
"Can I trust you?"
Si Bo Nian said helplessly, "Even if I want to look back, she won't give me another chance to get back together. Although the Lu family is bankrupt, doesn't grandpa Lu Enxi know about it? Once a decision is made, no one can reverse it. At the time, I
I hurt her so much that she hates me."
Grandpa's misunderstanding of Lu Enxi has become serious, and now he is trying his best to cut off the connection with Lu Enxi, but she refuses to push him away.
Si Guanlin looked like he had seen through everything, "You were trapped by this little trick of playing hard to get? If you still have a little bit of filial piety and don't want to piss off this old guy like me, just find any reason to send her out of the country and never do it again."
return!"
——
After the morning meeting, Lu Enxi called Lin Shu into the office.
Keeping everything in perspective, Lu Enxi did not expose her actions directly, "Lawyer Lin, have you obtained any results from your investigation of Sun Shaoyong?"
Lin Shu finally found out the club where Sun Shaoyong went last night. She dressed up as a sexy girl who drank too much and waited outside the door. Then she took the opportunity to throw herself into his arms. She was about to succeed. Unexpectedly, Sun Shaoyong answered the phone in the middle and hurriedly
Gone.
She is still worried about how to strike up a conversation next time.
"No."
Lu Enxi said coldly, "Is it not, or is it that I didn't succeed?"
Lin Shu was startled, and then stared at her with half-narrowed eyes, "What do you mean?"
Playing dumb?
Lu Enxi did not follow her around, "Sun Shaoyong was in Repulse Bay yesterday, do you still want me to continue?"
Lin Shu's face turned pale, then he smiled and said, "It turns out that Lawyer Lu is also investigating him. I didn't expect that we thought of going together."
Lu Enxi chuckled lightly, too lazy to explain so much, "Sun Shaoyong is both good and bad. If you take risks with your own life, you are courting death. Do you understand?"
Lin Shu thought it was ridiculous. She and Lu Enxi were both ordinary lawyers, neither of them had official positions. Why should she sit behind a desk and boss her around and teach her how to do things?!
Isn't it just that she is afraid that she will get the evidence first and take the initiative?
"Lawyer Lu, although Director Zhang said that we should cooperate in this case, there is a division of labor, right? Whoever has the most valid evidence will appear in court to defend the case."
Lu Enxi said: "That's right."
"Then let's wait and see. I won't interfere with you, and you shouldn't order me around."
Lu Enxi pressed her temples, "Lawyer Lin, let me remind you again that the people Sun Shaoyong associates with are ruthless people and can do anything. Don't steal the chicken and lose the rice, and get yourself involved."
Lin Shu couldn't hear a word, "Thank you, Lawyer Lu, for reminding me. I'll go get busy if nothing happens. After all, I'm not as lucky as Lawyer Lu."
Her eyes glanced at the rose on the table, the irony was obvious.
Forget it, everyone has their own destiny. If she wants to die, she won't stop her.
Later, Lu Enxi called Duan Xiaowei, "Are you free? Let's meet."
Half an hour later, the two of them were sitting in a cafe booth.
Duan Xiaowei carefully looked at Lawyer Lu, who was wearing a black suit. The familiar beautiful face and unfamiliar professional clothes were intertwined into an image that was impossible to detect.
Why didn't she realize in the UK that Lu Enxi is different today?
"I've done what you said. When can my dad come out?"
Lu Enxi said, "Three days at the latest."
Si Boyian promised her, she completed the task, and he kept his promise.
Duan Xiaowei nodded, "I believe you. As long as my dad comes out safely, I will return to London."
Lu Enxi took a sip of the hot Americano. Perhaps he was tired of the milky and sweet taste. Now he only loves Americano and espresso, "Do you want to stay in Los Angeles?"
Duan Xiaowei couldn't believe it, "You have a way to make me stay?"
"There is a way, it just depends on whether you want it or not."
Now she is fighting alone in Los Angeles. Qiao Fei is an actor, so it is not convenient for her to come forward for many things. Zhang Yuheng is a man, and his family is eager to bring them together, so he has to avoid danger as much as possible in the future.
She needs confidants she can trust.
Duan Xiaowei's curiosity was aroused by her, "What can I do?"
