Cover the glass with water

Xin Qianyu didn't even know how she got home.

He seemed to be drifting all the way, unable to figure out his thoughts, and kept reviewing what he had said to Xin Mu, as if he had said everything he should and should not have said... It's over, it's over, he's so pitiful and poor Xiao Baihua's image was completely ruined, and exposed the fact that he has been cheating on her boyfriend...

Xin Qianyu was very scared, but he didn't know what he was afraid of. He wanted to reach out and grab something, but he held the air in vain, because he didn't know what he wanted to grab.

When Su Zhong returned home, he was as quiet as usual—however, this silence made Xin Qianyu a little scared.

Xin Qianyu plucked up her courage and said slowly, "Brother Zhong—I didn't mean to lie to you."

"It's hard to lie to someone unintentionally." Su Zhong said in a steady tone.

"..." Xin Qianyu choked: Indeed, how could such a thing of deception not be intentional!

Su Zhong's eyes were calm and unwavering.

Xin Qianyu was even more frightened, and hurriedly said, "You, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry." Su Zhong patted the back of Xin Qianyu's hand reassuringly, very gently, like treating a frightened little animal.

Xin Qianyu's eyes became wet: "Really?"

"Of course." Su Zhong said, "In the end, you didn't do anything heinous. But I'm a little curious why you did it."

Xin Qianyu's face became a little embarrassing, and after a long silence, she said vaguely with her tongue stiff: "Because... I like you so much."

This is a very true statement.When the truth reached this level, it would be embarrassing to speak out, so Xin Qianyu's jade-white face flushed red.

Su Zhong thought about it seriously, and said, "Is it a courtship behavior to win the favor of the other party by showing weakness?"

Probably because Su Zhong's words were too academic to a cold level, the redness on Xin Qianyu's face quickly faded.He nodded stiffly: "Well, it's probably this kind of courtship behavior."

"I understand." After Su Zhong figured it out, he quickly accepted the reality, "You've worked hard, but it's not necessary."

Xin Qianyu's heart pounded like a big stone rolled into a deep well.

He has thought about the "bad consequences" of "revealing the truth" many times: Su Zhong is furious?Su Zhi is completely disappointed?Su Zhong is suspicious?Su Zhong...

In short, he never thought that Su Zhong would calmly say, "It's been hard work, but it's unnecessary."

There seemed to be a hole in Xin Qianyu's heart.

Probably, deep down in his heart, he hoped that Su Zhong would be angry, out of control, and doubtful.

Not like this, calm and cold.

This "Xin Qianyu is actually an actor" turmoil seems to be over soon.It's like throwing a stone into the water, and the ripples will only last for half a minute before the deep pool of life returns to calm, and everything is the same as before.

Xin Qianyu was still the gentle and cowardly Xin Qianyu.

Su Zhong is still the same Su Zhong who doesn't ask about everything.

Xin Qianyu originally thought that the "unmasking" drama directed by Xin Mu would cause great disturbances in her and Su Zhong's life, but in the end, it didn't.

Life is life itself.

That night, Xin Qianyu and Su Zhong were at home and welcomed an unexpected guest.

It's Rui Lei.

Rui Lei was wearing a professional suit and smelled of alcohol, she should have come here just after the dinner party.Xin Qianyu opened the door and saw her, quite surprised: "Rui Lei? Why are you here?"

Hearing the sound outside the door, Su Zhong also came out of the study.

He was wearing blue home clothes, his hair was not combed like in the office, and the ends of his hair were hanging down softly, making him look a lot more casual.Ruilei was stunned for half a second when she saw such a longing: this man is too good-looking.

However, Rui Lei quickly withdrew her thoughts from the beauty, and showed a professional smile: "Your phone has not been connected, so I have to come to see you at home."

Xin Qianyu felt a little strange when she heard the words: "Brother Zhong is at home all the time, why can't I get through the phone?"

Su Zhong said, "Because I blocked her."

"..." Xin Qianyu and Rui Lei Qiqi fell into a moment of hesitation and silence.

Rui Lei shrugged helplessly and said, "Can I come in and say a few words?"

Xin Qianyu took a step back, he was a little confused: Aren't Rui Lei and Brother Zhong good colleagues?Why did Brother Zhong block her?

To be honest, several days have passed since Su Zhong mentioned his resignation, but Xin Qianyu still doesn't know about Su Zhong's situation.

Before waiting for an answer, Rui Lei stepped into the room first.

"Don't come in." Su Zhong said.

Su Zhong is a very territorial person and doesn't like outsiders setting foot in his house.

Seeing the undisguised repulsion on Su Zhong's face, Rui Lei smiled helplessly, took a step back, went back to the door, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I know that in your opinion, I robbed you of your client and position." , causing you to resign. But in fact, I personally have no hostility towards you..."

"What?" Xin Qianyu's voice suddenly rose, "You stole Brother Zhong's client and position and made him resign?"

Rui Lei was taken aback: "Ah, you don't know?"

Now it was Xin Qianyu's turn to be embarrassed: such a big change happened to Su Zhong, but as a boyfriend, he didn't know it at all.

Su Zhong was not interested in discussing this issue with Rui Lei, so he said, "What is your purpose for coming to me this time?"

Rui Lei became even more embarrassed, and just said: "I just came to remind you, David is now venting his anger on you, saying that the whole financial street will block you, spreading rumors in the circle of the boss, saying that you use dirty The means to crowd out colleagues, Kevin's accident was also caused by your framing... He wants to use such insidious tricks to make it impossible for you to get along in Financial Street."

Hearing this, Xin Qianyu's fist hardened.

In the face of Rui Lei's seemingly "kind reminder", Su Zhong did not show his appreciation.Instead, he became puzzled: "What is the purpose of telling me this?"

Rui Lei sighed, and said: "We are friends, and I don't want to see you in such a miserable situation... In fact, David and you have no deep hatred, he just feels that you have refuted face and can't step down, so he treats you like this You pursue and fight fiercely. Although you are very capable, you have no influence. If he really wants to block you, it will be difficult for you to parry. In my opinion, you might as well go back and admit your mistake to him, and give each other a step. Will continue to let you stay in the company as a fund manager."

After Su Zhong heard this, he remained silent, as if evaluating something.

Xin Qianyu had listened to everything and understood a little bit. As soon as she rolled her eyes, she sneered and pulled Su Zhong's arm, and said, "Brother Zhong, don't listen to her, I think she was sent by David." Bar!"

"What did you say?" Rui Lei stared at Xin Qianyu with wide eyes.

Xin Qianyu said: "You must have done something dirty, which made my brother Zhong unable to stay any longer and wanted to resign. David couldn't bear to part with Brother Zhong, a powerful boss, and he couldn't face it, so he came to you The weasel greets the chicken, pretending to be a good man, with a red face and a white face, just to coax brother Zhong to go back, not only wants brother Zhong to go back, but also wants brother Zhong to go back humbly, bowing his head to David and admitting his mistake, he has to continue moving bricks! "

Hearing Xin Qianyu's analysis, Rui Lei couldn't hold back: because Xin Qianyu was telling the truth!

Ruilei didn't expect that Xin Qianyu, who is usually quiet, speaks so sharply, no wonder she can be envious of Su Zhong, a "high-quality stock".Ruilei cleared her throat, relieved her embarrassment a bit, looked at Su Zhong again, and said, "If you inquire carefully, you will know that what I just said was not to bluff you, and now there are rumors in the circle that you framed Kevin."

When Xin Qianyu heard what Ruilei said, she blushed even more angrily.It's a pity that Xin Qianyu can't hit women, so she can only clenched her fists and stared, imitating putting on a David sack in her mind.

But Su Zhong said: "I don't need to ask, I know. Someone has already told me." After all, Su Zhong also has his own contacts in the circle.

After hearing this, Rui Lei breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you will know that I didn't lie to you. Several bosses have promised David that they will not use you. There is only one way for you now, which is to go back and talk to David. David admitted his mistake."

Su Zhong's tone was very cold, "I blocked you and David just because I knew about this situation."

Rui Lei was stunned.

"If you have nothing to do, go back. I have nothing to do with you." After speaking, Su Zhong closed the door in front of Rui Lei.

After Su Zhong closed the door, his expression was as usual, as if Rui Lei's words were the wind in his ears, and it was gone after it passed.

Xin Qianyu looked at Su Zhong worriedly: "Brother Zhong, you actually resigned? I don't even know?"

But Su Zhong said: "Generally, you don't need to talk too much about work. Speaking of it, I don't know much about your work situation."

What Su Zhong said was the truth, but to Xin Qianyu's ears it sounded like an accusation.Xin Qianyu has been concealing her real work status, so what qualifications does she have to question Su Zhong?

Xin Qianyu's face was hot, she lowered her head, she didn't dare to say a word, and she had to stuff her doubts back into her intestines, and then let it go like a fart.

Xin Qianyu didn't know how to face this embarrassing situation, he was in a very complicated mood.

And Xin Mu, who planned Xin Qianyu's "Painted Skin Falling" drama, is also very interested in the follow-up development.She deliberately went to work one day to "encounter" Xin Qianyu, and gave Xin Qianyu a caring smile, while Xin Qianyu made a bad face for her mother on the spot.

Seeing his son's stinky face, Xin Mu felt it was funny: "Who are you showing such an ugly face to?"

"It's for whoever reads it." Xin Qianyu replied.

Xin Mu was used to being contradicted by his son, so he didn't get angry at all, he just said, "You have a big temper with your own mother, but I don't know what it would be like with your boyfriend?"

Xin Qianyu's face turned greener.

"Did you quarrel after you went back?" Xin Mu asked.

"No." Xin Qianyu replied bluntly, "We never quarrel. Don't bother you!"

Hearing this, Xin Mu sighed as if feeling a little pity.

This long sigh was like adding fuel to the fire, making Xin Qianyu angry: "What? We don't quarrel, you are very disappointed!"

"Yes." Xin Mu said bluntly, "The relationship between you is too abnormal."

Xin Qianyu was blocked again, her mouth opened, but she couldn't utter a loud word.

Seeing his son so frustrated, Xin Mu couldn't be happy at all, he just said: "I can't see you using a disguise to win the favor of a man, and deliberately punctured you. You understand it in your heart, and you shouldn't blame me." .”

Xin Qianyu didn't speak, but just snorted.

Xin Mu went on talking on her own: "I think, if he just likes you who pretends to be you, he will be disappointed and it will be difficult to continue dating you. If he really likes you, but you have been deceiving him for so long , there should be a storm. Now it seems that he didn't react at all, so..."

Xin Mu's analysis was very thorough, and it hit Xin Qianyu's heart.Xin Qianyu couldn't help pricking up her ears, and asked with a bit of vigilance: "So...? What's your opinion?"

"Then that's what he looks like," Xin Mu said.

"What's it like?" Xin Qianyu couldn't help asking.

Xin Mudao: "It's the one who doesn't have much interest in anything."

Xin Qianyu was stunned.

"Including to you." Xin Mu patted Xin Qianyu on the shoulder.

This slap of Xin Mu was like taking a bald head of a bald guy, which easily irritated people.Xin Qianyu threw her away angrily: "You know what the hell!"

Xin Mu smiled contemptuously: "Why are you in a hurry? I'm not saying he doesn't like you."

"He..." Xin Qianyu calmed down again in an instant. For him, nothing could soothe his mind more than "Su Zhong likes you".

Xin Mu said again: "It's just that he can't like you like you like him."

This sentence was like a tongue twister, with some twists and turns, but when it was blown into Xin Qianyu's ear, it was as straight as an arrow, piercing into his chest, and his heart was bleeding immediately, causing his face to turn pale from the pain.

Seeing her son's injured expression, even being a mother feels distressed.Xin Mu shook his head, sighed and said: "You are too much like me when I was young... Do you understand, you are the kind of idiot who loves so much that the earth shakes. The love is good, but I just don't like it." Appropriate, he's not an idiot."

After saying all this, Xin Mu showed an expression like a philosophical poet: "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood." Xin Qianyu's heart was weak, but her face was firm, "You say I'm an idiot."
