MTL - Human Greed-Chapter 85 time

Su Yi sat on the sofa all night, turning her head to look in the direction of the door from time to time. She heard Xu Ruoxing's door closing, and when she chased her out, the door was already closed, and there was a slight slap, knocking heavily on her The heart, with those heavy thoughts, kept falling, and the eardrums suddenly hurt as if they had been punctured. She unconsciously covered her ears with her hands, and when she recovered, Xu Ruoxing had already left.

She looked at the keys on the coffee table, thinking that Xu Ruoxing would definitely need to open the door when she came back, so she sat there all the time, fearing that Xu Ruoxing would still be angry and refused to knock on the door, she opened the door again with a gap, and the darkness shrouded the light of the living room from the gap, Bit by bit devoured.

An hour passed, and Xu Ruoxing did not come back.

One night passed, and she still didn't come back.

Su Yi was leaning on the back of the sofa chair, her back was numb, and she couldn't feel her waist down. She stayed in the same position for too long, and when she got up, she fell back down.

It's like falling back to the day I just got married.

They didn't spend their honeymoon, but the company gave them a wedding leave. She accompanied Xu Ruoxing on a business trip. In the neighboring province, Xu Ruoxing had to socialize during the day and drank a lot of wine. At night, she also sat on the sofa in the hotel room, just watching quietly. she.

Once Xu Ruoxing asked her: "Why don't you sleep?"

She said, "Wait a while."

Wait for a while, when Xu Ruoxing falls asleep, and when her heartbeat calms down, she dares to go to bed and lie down beside Xu Ruoxing, her heartbeat is too loud, she is afraid of disturbing Xu Ruoxing.

Su Yi moved her paralyzed right leg, then slowly got up again, and checked the time on the phone, it was half past seven.

Xu Ruoxing didn't come back all night.

When she went to the bathroom, she saw that her face was surprisingly pale, and her eyes were slightly bloodshot. She hadn't slept all night, she closed her eyes, and her eyes were sore. When she was brushing her teeth and washing her face, she heard the door slam!

She immediately went out of the bathroom, only to see that the door was closed and there was no one there, presumably it was shut by the wind.

Su Yi went back to the bathroom to wash up, and went downstairs to the company without eating breakfast.

It was still early in the company, the design department was quiet, and there was no one there. She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out. The scenery she was familiar with usually looked strange today.

When the assistant arrived at the office, she saw Su Yi standing alone by the French window, with her arms folded around her chest, her hair tied behind her ears, and the earrings were golden, shining brightly in the light, she knocked on the door: "Director Su, how are you doing this?" morning."

Su Yi turned her head, the sun shone on the contours of her face, her facial features were distinct, but she was a little cold.

She nodded slightly at the assistant, who asked, "Have you had breakfast? I'm going down and bring you one?"

Su Yi said, "Bring me a box of soy milk."

The assistant smiled: "OK."

She turned around and went downstairs to buy breakfast. In the elevator, she met a colleague from the design department and went downstairs together. The assistant said, "Do you think Director Su is weird?"

Colleagues wondered: "What's wrong?"

The assistant muttered: "I don't know if it's because I'm in a bad mood, it's because I'm cold, Mr. Xu also had a straight face yesterday, so they won't quarrel, right?"

The colleague shook his head: "It shouldn't be, Mr. Xu and Director Su look very affectionate."

After finishing talking, the elevator door opened on the first floor, and the other person they were discussing was standing outside. The assistant and colleagues walked out immediately. Li Chen turned his head, looked at Xu Ruoxing's face and said, "Look at you, you are tense." Zhang face, who are you scaring early in the morning?"

Xu Ruoxing didn't bother to talk to her.

Li Chen said a few words to himself, and found that Xu Ruoxing didn't answer at all, she made fun of herself, clicked her tongue, and when she got to the office, Li Chen asked: "Today we are shooting outdoors, do you want to come?"

Xu Ruoxing said, "No."

Li Chen shrugged, looked at Xu Ruoxing, and went back to the office.

The curtains in her office were closed, and it was dark and opaque. When Li Chen walked to the french windows, she suddenly received a message with only three words:【I'm back. 】

After several days of worrying, she finally put it down. She let out a breath slowly, not like before. She immediately chased the phone and asked a lot of questions. Li Chen just closed the phone, grabbed the edge of the curtain with her hand, With a bang, the curtains were ripped open, and the sunlight from outside shone in, bright and warm.

After nine o'clock, Li Chen called Su Yi, but both calls failed. She frowned, and went directly to the design department to find Su Yi. Su Yi was sitting in the office, lowering her head to sort out the design draft, when she heard a knock on the door Looking up, I saw Li Chen.

Li Chen asked: "Why can't you get through the phone?"

It was only then that Su Yi remembered to look at her phone. The screen was black. Last night, she stared at the phone from time to time to check the time. She didn't know if it was out of battery. She plugged it into the charger and explained, "It's out of battery."

Li Chen said, "The filming is at 9:30? When will Miss Lan arrive?"

Su Yi said, "It's estimated that there are still ten minutes."

Li Chen nodded: "Then we will pass together later."

Su Yin hummed, seeing that Li Chen wanted to leave, she said, "President Li."

Li Chen turned her head, a little embarrassed: "You should call me by my name, don't be so unfamiliar."

Su Yi responded lightly, and Li Chen said, "I heard from Ruoxing that you have recovered your memory?"

Su Yi's hand holding the pen stopped, she nodded: "Yes, I have recovered my memory."

Li Chen said: "It's also a good thing. After all, it's your past experience. It's great to recover."

Su Yi wanted to laugh, but she didn't.

It would be great if she didn't recover, she could still occupy Xu Ruoxing without psychological burden. At this moment, she suddenly envied herself after losing her memory, Li Chen said: "Then——can I still drink with you in the future?"

Su Yi looked at her and nodded: "Of course."

"Then it's fine." Li Chen said, "What did you call me just now?"

Su Yi looked at her bright eyes, and couldn't say what was stuck in her throat. If it was in the past, she wouldn't ask about Xu Ruoxing's itinerary, but she can't do it now.

She really wanted to know where Xu Ruoxing went last night.

This desire to know her news has already broken through her disguise, Su Yi said: "She didn't bother you last night, did she?"

Li Chen was confused: "Who is it?"

Then she came to her senses: "Ruoxing? She last night—" Li Chen paused, "I didn't bother me, you know, I'm alone, why bother?"

Su Yi's complexion improved a little, and she said to Li Chen, "Thank you."

Li Chen felt a little guilty: "It's okay."

She ran away after she finished speaking, and she still didn't forget to tell Xu Ruoxing: "Where did you go last night? How dare you stay out at night? Don't take me with you!"

This is too much.

Facing the cold Su Yi just now, she almost didn't speak neatly. She was obviously good at lying, but when she met Su Yi's eyes, she was really speechless.

Xu Ruoxing said, "I went home last night."

"Where are you lying to ghosts?" Li Chen said, "Doesn't your wife know when you go home?"

"I'll go back to my mother's house." After speaking, she frowned: "Who asked you?"

"Who else is there?" Li Chen said, "It was your wife who asked me. If you two are arguing, you should talk it out. You are too. Don't just go back to your mother's house."

Xu Ruoxing held back his anger: "My dad sprained his leg, I'll go home and see him."

Li Chen let out an oh, and stopped talking.

Xu Ruoxing calmed down, and heard Li Chen say: "Just now she asked me if you were with me last night, I said yes, I don't know about you, remember not to reveal your secrets."

Xu Ruoxing frowned: "Who told you to lie to her?"

Li Chen said, "I'm not doing this for you two!"

Xu Ruoxing opened his mouth and said, "Understood."

After hanging up the phone, I saw that there was no new message in the message bar, so I didn't worry about her, I just thought she went to find Li Chen?

That should send her a message too.

But she asked Li Chen again this morning...

Xu Ruoxing was originally full of anger, but he suppressed it a little bit, Su Yi still seemed to care about her a little bit, this successfully made Xu Ruoxing feel better.

The assistant knocked on the door and brought in coffee. Xu Ruoxing asked, "What time is the outdoor shooting that Mr. Li is in charge of today?"

The assistant said: "It's half past nine." Guessing what Xu Ruoxing was thinking, the assistant reminded: "You're going to factory one at half past nine."

Xu Ruoxing put down the coffee.

The cup touched the table lightly, making a crisp sound, which was a bit close to the ringtone of her mobile phone. Xu Ruoxing turned her head and saw a very strange number on the caller ID. Miss Xu?"

Xu Ruoxing touched the edge of the cup with his fingers, and replied, "Hi, what's the matter?"

"That's it. We belong to Xingyuan Design Company. You placed an order with us a few days ago. Do you remember?"

The voice of the customer service was sweet and polite, but Xu Ruoxing couldn't remember what it was. She didn't seem to have contacted the design company. Just about to say that she made a mistake, she suddenly thought of Su Yi, and she asked, "Is it a watch?"

"That's right." The customer service said with a smile, "Is your address the s.x company in the city center? We'll have a colleague who will deliver it to you later."

Xu Ruoxing said, "Okay."

She contacted the assistant and asked her to pay attention to the person who delivered the courier. She had work at hand, but she was a little absent-minded. Not long after the office door was knocked, the assistant brought in a package with a smile. It was a small box with a square shape. It was packed in a packaging bag. Xu Ruoxing unpacked it. Inside was a dark green box. When the box was opened, she picked up a watch. She saw the English letters engraved on the inside, xrx.

The notch looked familiar, as if it was the same as her wedding ring.

But the wedding ring, didn't Su Yi say, just buy it casually?

Xu Ruoxing frowned, and the assistant asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Xu?"

She looked at the assistant and shook her head: "It's okay, you can go out."

After the assistant went out, Xu Ruoxing dialed the number just now, and the customer service answered, "Hi, this is Xingyuan Design Company, may I help you with anything?"

Xu Ruoxing said: "I just received the watch."

"Hello, Ms. Xu, is there a problem with the watch?" The customer service immediately became enthusiastic. Xu Ruoxing said, "It's not about the watch. I want to ask, does the person who ordered this watch order anything else?"

The customer service said: "Sorry, Ms. Xu, it is not convenient for us to disclose the customer's information."

"My wife ordered a wedding ring with you two years ago, can you check it?" Xu Ruoxing said firmly, the customer service paused: "Can you tell me the specific information?"

Xu Ruoxing said: "That's right. She ordered a wedding ring with you two years ago, but lost it a few days ago. I want to order her the same style, the same style as our wedding ring. Is that okay?"

She didn't hang up the phone after she finished speaking, but instead found the photo of the wedding ring she had saved on her mobile phone and sent it to the customer service. After checking, she said, "This is indeed from our company. Do you want to order the left one or the right one?"

She said and sent the picture, Xu Ruoxing noticed that the time saved on the sent picture was three years ago.

Three years ago, in October.

One month before their blind date.

Why did Su Yi order her a wedding ring one month before the blind date?
