underwater moon

Yue Zhongshan did have a very handsome face, with a straight nose, high brow bones and slightly sunken eye sockets, but his eyelids were thin and his lips were the same, so he seemed impersonal.

The warm light from the roof lights cast a heavy shadow on the side of his face.

In the mostly dim surrounding scenes, it is especially noticeable that his smooth lines connecting his side face to his jaw outline his indifference and indifference.

Jiang Mingyue's eyelashes were all glued together, and he could only see the rainwater running down the other side of his face in strings, passing through the delicate skin texture. The air was slightly cool, and Jiang Mingyue shivered.

The hand that was handing the towel was right in front of Jiang Mingyue, but Yue Zhongshan himself sat some distance away from him, and even his upper body tended to lean back slightly.

When hanging his eyes on Jiang Mingyue, he seemed to be sending a signal of dissatisfaction at the same time.

It was really unnecessary for him to have that handsome and sentimental face, and most people who had met him couldn't deny it.

Jiang Mingyue put the towel over her head and rubbed it half-heartedly. It took a long time to notice that there was no shortage of raindrops on Yue Zhongshan's white shirt and iron-gray trousers sitting on the side.

He subconsciously turned his head to look out the window, only to truly realize the intensity of the rainstorm.

The raindrops outside the car window formed a line, and the lights of many colors on the street merged into the water, creating chaotic blooming.

As long as the street trees are not strong enough, they will be bent towards the road by the strong wind, and there will be ankle-deep puddles everywhere.

The place where Jiang Mingyue was dragged back by Yue Zhongshan in his coat just now was a few steps away from the intersection with heavy traffic.

In this kind of weather, if you look at the whole street, you can't see a single pedestrian.

On the way to send him home, except for the occasional voice of the intercom with electric sound from the security of the co-pilot, no one spoke.

Yue Zhongshan kept the posture of sitting upright, with his hands on his knees, his right thumb rubbed the watch on his left hand from time to time, and his eyes dropped slightly when he looked straight ahead.

Rather than saying that he was refusing to communicate, it was better to say that he didn't seem to have considered any communication with Jiang Mingyue at all.

Greetings and courtesies are not acceptable here in Yuezhongshan.

They haven't seen each other for two or three years. After getting into the wrong car a few days ago, Jiang Mingyue said thank you to him, but he was only ignored.

But he seems to have a convincing arrogant indifference that is born with him. Many hurtful small expressions and eyes are interpreted by him, conveyed by that handsome face, and everything is justified. soft light.

The car stopped outside the Jiang family's single-family villa, and the security guard of the co-driver got out of the car quickly, opened a black umbrella, and waited by Jiang Mingyue's side.

Raindrops hit the umbrella surface one after another, and the air was filled with the smell of damp soil.

Before he was about to open the car door, Yue Zhongshan tapped his knee lightly with his index finger, finally opened his mouth, turned his head and asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"

He looked at Jiang Mingyue calmly, and his tone and expression were all very flat, making it difficult to guess whether he had said something wrong.

So Jiang Mingyue could only say sincerely once again: "Thank you."

The corner of Yue Zhongshan's mouth twitched, but there was no intention of smiling on his face. It seemed that he just thought he needed to do this out of etiquette.

"I heard that you are looking for a law firm recently." He was observing Jiang Mingyue, and did not conceal the intention of this observation, "What did Rui Suisse and Hongtian say?"

To be honest, Jiang Mingyue didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much. In the last two meetings, Yue Zhongshan always had a condescending attitude, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't find out, but each time he quickly withdrew his hostility.

"You know about our family?"

But Jiang Mingyue thought about it again, and soon realized that this was not a surprise, and said frankly: "Rui Suisse should be hopeless, but Hongtian may still be able to talk about it."

Yue Zhongshan's face was cold, his tone was flat, and he only answered the first half of Jiang Mingyue's sentence: "Everyone in Haicheng knows about your family, so there is no need to inquire about it."

Even for the dull Jiang Mingyue, these words were considered very rude.

Everyone speaks of dignity, and even the many relatives who have fallen into trouble rarely say so in person.

The person surnamed Yue is indeed in the limelight in the current Haicheng, and he is the vane of all relationships. It is understandable that Yue Zhongshan is a little more arrogant and a little colder.

But Jiang Mingyue didn't think that he had offended him in any way. They grew up in the same circle in name, but except when they were very young, they didn't have much contact with each other.

In the past, Jiang Mingkai occasionally took Jiang Mingyue out for dinner, and at the party attended by Yue Zhongshan, it was just a few words of exchange, although it was not considered affection, it was not offended either.

So I thought, the rumored description of this young man from the Yue family who grew up and became more moody, impersonal and disgusting, was not an exaggeration at all.

He is not a character who likes to argue, and he never gets angry.

But today, he suffered repeated setbacks and blows from morning to night, and now facing the attitude of Yue Zhongshan, who picked him up from the heavy rain and put him in the car to send him home, he couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.

After getting off the car, Jiang Mingyue didn't leave immediately. He stood under the black umbrella that the security guards were leaning towards him, and looked back at Yue Zhongshan, who had a cold profile and said nothing.

He leaned on the car door with one hand, curled his white fingertips, and after a while, he whispered in a very soft tone: "It's not that everyone knows about it, besides, it's not really a scandal." , and I think, even if you don’t know my elder brother very well, you probably know that at least he doesn’t know the law and break the law.”

Later, Jiang Mingyue recalled that that time was actually not the time when he and Yue Zhongshan had the most opposite understanding of each other, but when she thought of her own stupidity at that time and the awkwardness with Yue Zhongshan, it can be said that it was almost the worst of all relationships. kind of beginning.

Xu Yingyu was taken aback by his drenched appearance, she still held the phone in her hand, and was stunned for a while with her mouth half open. When Jiang Mingyue walked in front of her, a small piece of wet water had accumulated under her feet, and then she realized that she grabbed Jiang Mingyueqin With a wrist full of coolness, he kept asking him where he went and why he didn't answer the phone.

He also asked someone to bring a towel and pour him a cup of hot water.

There was a lot of commotion. For a while, several people surrounded Jiang Mingyue, covered his head with a towel, sighed and twisted his wet clothes, and rubbed his cold cheek with the back of their hands.

Jiang Mingyue stood where she was and let herself be fiddled with, listening to the cook's call telling the two drivers at home not to look again, and Xu Yingyu took the time to answer his aunt's call, saying that they had been found.

Even if Jiang Mingyue didn't feel like talking any more, she wanted to comfort Xu Yingyu at this time.

Three years ago, in the summer when he finished the college entrance examination, a party that should have been happy to celebrate his entrance into a higher school was inexplicably taken away by others after he drank too much and slept all night, and he couldn't wake up the next day. The minefield that can no longer be mentioned has made Xu Yingyu extremely sensitive to the situation that he cannot be contacted.

Jiang Mingyue smiled, explaining that the rain came at an inopportune time.

"Then I have to answer the phone, don't you think that mother will be anxious?" Xu Yingyu spoke slowly and softly as usual, but her face, which was mostly pale, had not had time to recover, "Where is Manlin, she I can't get through the phone, did you take her home?"

Jiang Mingyue was vague: "When we parted, the rain hadn't started yet."

He couldn't see the despondency in his body, the whole person was the word "frustrated" in capital letters, after Xu Yingyu drove him into the bathroom to take a bath, he was glad that Xu Yingyu didn't ask him how he got back.

She didn't like Yue Zhongshan very much, as she could tell from her reaction to hearing the name before.

Jiang Mingyue's temper and character were more like his mother's, so Xu Yingyu just frowned, and he knew that he wanted to mention this person less, but he forgot that he was wearing a dress tonight that was too big. The door where the suit enters.

After pushing Jiang Mingyue into the bathroom, Xu Yingyu stood by the bed in his bedroom, holding half a bag of Liqun that fell out of the inner pocket of his suit.

The gun-gray lighter dropped by her feet, she bent down to pick it up, put it together with the pack of cigarettes into the suit hanging on her arm, closed the door and walked out.

Jiang Mingyue fell into a coma all night, and then caught a cold for several days.

That afternoon, when he was almost in a hurry, he opened the school mailbox for the first time, and checked the email notifying him to withdraw from the project team with the attitude of never being forced to do so.

Then he replied the text message of polite rejection from the young man who received him in Hongtian that day.

Jiang Mingyue didn't go out again, and told Xu Yingyu about the current situation several times. She didn't dare to say anything too bad, but she didn't lie anymore.

To his surprise, when it came to the Luo family's divorce at the end, Xu Yingyu didn't show much surprise.

Jiang Mingyue asked uncertainly: "Mom... did you know that I would screw up?"

There was a smile in Xu Yingyu's eyes, but Jiang Mingyue said without saying a word, "Mom!"

Xu Yingyu patted his hand, smiled sternly and said: "You can also imagine that the divorce is not Manlin's own idea, and I have met her parents, not to mention anything else, I have the same opinion ——Family matters, don’t hurt the friendship you grew up with.”

Jiang Mingyue nodded and said, "I know, she sent me a WeChat message yesterday, and I said that I'm not angry, and I'll be there for her birthday next month, and the car I booked for her will arrive around the same time."

After hearing this childish words, Xu Yingyu stared at him for a long time, until Jiang Mingyue touched her face strangely, then sighed and said, "That's good."

After confessing to Xu Yingyu, Jiang Mingyue finally accepted some of her failures in trying to be on her own both rationally and emotionally.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief from the tension of nearly a month, news came from the detention center that his brother Jiang Mingkai had a high fever of 39 degrees and could not subside.

The shadow of his father's death from cerebral infarction in the detention center still hangs over the heads of everyone in the family. After answering the phone, Xu Yingyu, who was already weak, was admitted to the hospital.

Jiang Mingyue stayed on guard all night, and the next morning, his aunt and uncle came over from the hospital of the detention center. The good news was that Jiang Mingkai was fine, he just caught the flu.

But Xu Yingyu couldn't afford to be ill, and Jiang Mingkai couldn't come out for a day, so when she closed her eyes, it was the scene of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man.

Jiang Mingyue's aunt came every day, but Xu Yingyu didn't have many good times.

Originally, she had an excellent appearance and a good personality. She was well protected from the time she was a little girl to when she got married, and she was never tempered. She didn't even have the experience of being scolded loudly.

After her husband passed away early, she barely supported her for the sake of the eldest son who was still in the detention center and the youngest son who hadn't grown up at home, but the news of Jiang Mingkai's illness overwhelmed her.

Jiang Mingyue stayed quietly beside Xu Yingyu's bed for a while with Xu Shuyu, and then the two walked out of the ward to sit outside.

His little uncle was also waiting outside. Seeing Jiang Mingyue and Xu Shuyu's faces were both ugly and dejected. They circled around twice, raised their index fingers and touched the center of their eyebrows. Did you agree to the surname Yue earlier?"

"I'm also very anxious. I ask someone to inquire about it every day, but the senior official crushes people, not to mention how much it costs. Mingyue also knows the situation. There is no way out, and no one is willing to take our money."

Xu Shuyu suppressed his voice and shouted: "Shut up!"

Jiang Mingyue took a step forward and asked his little uncle, "What do you mean?"

Bai Yang lacked confidence, glanced at Xu Shuyu, and said: "Eldest sister must have never told you, in fact, Yue's family was interested in asking you to marry the boss of his family, Yue Zhongshan, and we will be a family at that time. Isn't the family's business the same as his family's business? How can you go to such a point..."

Jiang Mingyue was a little sluggish, while Bai Yang was still rambling: "If you want me to say, this matter can actually be done. It's understandable that the eldest sister feels sorry for Mingyue, but you have to prioritize. After all, it's the same reason when you got engaged to the Luo family. Why? When I got to Yue's house, I suddenly got angry. I heard that people came to the door again and again, but they were all blocked by the elder sister..."

Jiang Mingyue thought in a daze, yes, why did she get up when she got to Yue's house?

Up to now, the law firm has suddenly withdrawn, the Luo family has withdrawn, and the procuratorate is like an iron bucket. It is equivalent to all the efforts that Jiang Mingkai had made to get out by one step. temptation.

So he even felt a little sincerely happy: it turned out that Luo Manlin's divorce from him was the only good thing that happened recently.

Regardless of Yue Zhongshan's own wishes, if the Yue family really likes him to marry Yue Zhongshan, then he still has some uses.
