Coming out of Chao Yunling's room, Zhong Shiyou walked alone along the beach near the hotel for a long time, and when he was tired from walking, he lay down on the beach directly and fell asleep drowsily all night with the sky as his quilt and the ground as his mat.

After the sea breeze blows, the whole person is much more awake.After a night of washing, Zhong Shiyou finally figured it out, fate should just go with the flow, just because he likes Chao Yunling doesn't mean that Chao Yunling must like him, sometimes being friends is also a kind of happiness.

I remember that when he was in college, Zhong Shiyou once asked a fortune teller to tell his fortune. At that time, the fortune teller gave him the words: career is like a fish in water, love is difficult at every step... At first he didn't take it seriously because he felt that he didn't need love at all. His career is everything to him.

But one day, as the fortune teller said, when his career was like a fish in water but no love came, he realized that without a loved one by his side, no matter how much he had, he could not get rid of loneliness in the end.

Back at the hotel, Zhong Shiyou was going to ask Chao Yunling to get up for breakfast, but the phone rang as soon as he walked to the elevator door.If it wasn't because of Chao Yunling's relationship this time, he would definitely not be on a business trip with Kang Qin at the same time. When he saw the company's phone number, his first feeling was that the company had something important to do, otherwise he would definitely not be early in the morning. Just called.

"Secretary Cao...what's the matter?" Before Zhong Shiyou left, he told his secretary, Ms. Cao, that he should try not to call him unless it was absolutely necessary, and deal with the things that could be handled by himself. The things that can't be solved are waiting for him to go back to the company to talk about. Now he is in a hurry to call, probably because he has encountered something that can't be solved and can't wait.

"Mr. Zhong... Come back quickly, something happened to the company!" Secretary Cao's tone was more urgent than he expected, showing the seriousness of the matter.

Zhong Shiyou's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened to the company?"

"This..." Secretary Cao faltered for a while, then sighed in a low voice: "Mr. Zhong... about this matter, I can't say a word or two, anyway...you should hurry back!"

Zhong Shiyou hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay then...you can book a ticket for me to go back to City C at the earliest, and you can hold on to the company first, and tell them if there is anything to do when I go back to solve it, if it doesn't work, call the police !"

Thinking of the two troublemakers, Secretary Cao said with a sad face, "...Yes, Mr. Zhong."

Just hung up the phone, suddenly the phone rang again.Zhong Shiyou picked it up and saw that it was Zhong's mother calling, whether to answer or not has become Zhong Shiyou's biggest headache now.The phone rang for a while, then cut off for a few seconds...then it rang again. Zhong Shiyou knew that if he didn't answer it, he probably wouldn't stop for a day.

"Mom... why did you call me so early in the morning?" Zhong Shiyou tried to speak in a relatively normal voice, lest Zhong's mother realize that he hadn't had a good rest and started nagging again.

As soon as the phone was connected, Mama Zhong said in a questioning tone, "Where are you now?"

"I...uh..." Zhong Shiyou was about to say that he was on a business trip, but suddenly he felt that Zhong's mother's tone was a little strange, as if she was interrogating a prisoner, so he couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Mom, are you Is there something wrong?"

Growing up so big, Zhong's mother rarely asked about Zhong Shiyou's whereabouts and what friends he had made, because Zhong's mother always felt that Zhong Shiyou was different from other children. You don't need to worry about work or work, but you are always indecisive when dealing with relationship issues, which makes you worry.

"Answer me first, where are you now?"

Facing Mama Zhong's persevering questioning, Zhong Shiyou prevaricated and said, "I'm on a business trip, what's the matter?"

Hearing that Zhong Shiyou was on a business trip, Zhong's mother's tone softened a lot, but she still couldn't help complaining worriedly: "Where is the business trip? Why didn't you tell me and your dad?"

Zhong Shiyou was a little dumbfounded, he was so old, and it wasn't the first time he went out, so why did it look like he was going to the battlefield: "What can I say, I'm only on a business trip for a few days, not for a few years ..."

"I don't care where you are on a business trip, you have to come back to me now, do you hear me?" Hearing that Zhong Shiyou was still in the mood to talk poorly, Mama Zhong's anger that had just subsided flared up again.

Zhong Shi's heart tightened, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition: "Mom... what happened? Did something happen to my dad?"

"How do you talk, kid? What can your father do if he is fine? I asked you to come back for other things." Zhong Ma said with a deep sigh.

As long as nothing happened to his parents, other Zhong Shiyou felt that there was nothing to worry about: "Oh... I've already booked a ticket, and I'll be home in two hours."

Zhong Ma finally smiled with relief and said: "Well...be careful on the road, call before you come back, and ask the driver of your father's work unit to pick you up."

"No, I can take a taxi by myself, and something happened to the company, I have to go back to the company first."

Speaking of the company, Zhong Shiyou couldn't help frowning. He knew from Secretary Cao's tone that something serious must have happened to the company, but the recent turnover was normal, and he also filed tax returns on time. He really couldn't think of what happened in the company that made Secretary Cao panicked and hesitated to speak.

"Is it important for the company to have family members? You are so old, I don't need to teach you this truth!" Hearing that Zhong Shiyou had to go to the company first after getting off the plane, Zhong's mother became anxious immediately.

Seeing Zhong's mother's temper flared up again, Zhong Shiyou couldn't help explaining patiently: "Aren't you and my dad all right? It's the same if there is anything at home that I can talk about after get off work."

"No, come back as soon as you get off the plane. I'll ask the driver to pick you up later. That's it. I have to hang up beforehand." Zhong Ma's attitude was firm and she would not refuse, without any room for negotiation.

It was only after hanging up the phone that Zhong Shiyou realized that Secretary Cao's phone call and Zhong's mother's phone call came at almost the same time. Could there be any connection between these two things?Thinking about it, it's very possible. From Secretary Cao's hesitation and reluctance to tell the reason to Zhong Ma's urging him to go home, even if there is no direct relationship between these two things, there is an indirect connection.

No matter what happened, Zhong Shiyou would face it calmly, because he thought he had a clear conscience, and even if he felt a little guilty, it was between him and Chao Yunling, and had nothing to do with anyone else.

After getting off the plane, as soon as he walked to the exit, Zhong Shiyou saw Zhong's father's driver standing at the door and stretching his neck to look inside.

Zhong Shiyou walked over and said politely, "Sorry for keeping you waiting... Actually, I can just take a taxi and go back."

The driver smiled and said, "It's okay... Anyway, I have nothing to do today. I must be tired after such a long flight. Let me help you carry your luggage." box.

"Huh...thank you." Zhong Shiyou had no choice but to follow Dad Zhong's driver to the parking lot empty-handed.

After getting into the car, Zhong Shiyou asked casually, "How is my dad doing recently? Do you know what happened to our family recently?"

The driver thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Uncle Zhong has always been in good health."

"Then why is my mother calling me home in such a hurry?" Zhong Shiyou was even more puzzled now.

The driver's face changed immediately, and he tried to squeeze out a smile and said awkwardly: "This...I really don't know...haha!"

Seeing the driver's reaction, Zhong Shiyou's heart arose again. He was really worried that something bad happened at home, and everyone was deliberately hiding it from him.

When he got home and opened the door, Zhong Shiyou was even more shocked. In the living room sat Zhong's father, Zhong's mother, Luo's father, Luo's mother, and Luo Yuan.Everyone looked very heavy, especially Luo Yuan's appearance surprised him the most.

Luo Yuan lost a lot of weight after not seeing her for a few days, her eyes became red and swollen from crying, her hair was messily draped over her shoulders, and the bruises on her face stood out against her fair skin.

Zhong Shiyou put his luggage aside, and said quietly, "Hi, Uncle Luo, Aunt Luo!"

Normally, Luo's mother would greet him with a smile, and Luo Yuan would also jump up and down, grab his arm and ask questions, but today everyone's expressions seemed very unusual.

Zhong Shiyou was a little uncertain, what he was most worried about now was that they found out about him and Chao Yunling.He wasn't afraid of damaging his reputation or affecting his future future, he just didn't want to involve Chao Yunling, let alone get him any harm.

Seeing Zhong Shiyou's tired face, no matter how many complaints Zhong Mama had in her heart, it turned into distress.

Zhong Ma walked over and took Zhong Shiyou's arm and sighed, "You must be tired after sitting on the plane for so long. Let's take a bath and rest for a while."

"Mom... I'm not tired, what happened?" Zhong Shiyou turned his attention to Luo Yuan's family while talking.

Luo Yuan, who was crying in a low voice, cried even louder when she heard Zhong Shiyou's words. It can be described as heart-piercing...
