unruly

The house was dark after early morning, and Aunt Lin had left early, leaving everything empty.

Ming Shu went upstairs and went home alone, without asking the driver to take him.

The peak of drunkenness has passed, and after tidying up and washing up, she is much more energetic and more and more sober.Ming Shu sat by the bed and checked his mobile phone for more than half an hour, clicking into WeChat from time to time, opening a file from time to time, and didn't go to sleep until one or two in the morning.

The friend verification after posting twice in a row still failed, and there was no response at all. Ming Shu didn't plan to post a third time, so as not to be annoying.

And in that document, there was a resume with a full-body photo on it, about that kid named Ning Zhi.

The other party is none other than the little curly who met twice today.

Ming Shu had seen it after receiving it earlier, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and the person in the photo had long straight hair, so he never thought about it, and he didn't expect such a coincidence.

That brat was pretty good at finding a place, but he couldn't go anywhere, so he just moved in opposite... She probably didn't know Mingshu yet, most likely only knew one name, not the specifics.

Ming Shu couldn't make up his mind, wondering if he should ask Zhuang Qinian to deal with it.

It stands to reason that Zhuang Qinian should be notified. After all, the conditions that he threw out are there. It is really unreasonable not to notify. It is not good to hide it, but the little curly hair is obviously stubborn. If you really do this, it will probably be difficult to end. At that time, it will be a question of whether people can be signed, and it will affect the subsequent cooperative relationship.

In addition, the family relationship over there is more complicated, and some situations are not as easy as they appear on the surface.

Today, the head of the Aurora Group is still Mrs. Ning, who is Ning Zhi's grandmother, a very capable and powerful senior in the industry.The old lady Ning had been married twice in total, the first time was with a Frenchman, and then she gave birth to Ning Zhi's own father, and the second time she found a local marriage in Z City, and had Zhuang Qinian and the third child.

Among the three children of the old lady, Ning's father was the most unpromising. He was used to wandering when he was young.At that time, the old lady wanted Ning's father to get married and stabilized, but Ning knew that her father was unwilling, and foreign women, even Ning Zhi's own mother, were unwilling, so in the end they could only solve it with money, so the child had to be left to the old lady to take care of .

Until now, the Ning family is still a mess.Ning's father is still the same, he is unrestrained by nature and loves freedom, mud can't support the wall, and he is a bad person; Zhuang Qinian and the third brother and sister are kind on the surface, but they have fought countless times for the family property in secret; as for the others, they either stand in line or Neutral, more or less want a piece of the pie.

The old lady is very partial to Ning Zhi, probably because she loves the child, and she has brought up her granddaughter herself, so she has a deep relationship. Over the years, she has been helping the little devil, even though Ning Zhi always does not let the family worry.

This time, it is not clear what exactly happened to cause such a situation.

Ming Shu had heard some rumors, it was probably that the little ghost planned to study abroad on a whim, and planned to go to Italy to develop a modeling career, but the Ning family disagreed, it was only a spur of the moment, and worried that she would cause trouble outside, so they stopped her.Afterwards, Zhuang Qinian even stirred up the muddy water and came up with random ideas, suggesting to the old lady that Ning Zhi sign a contract with a local fashion design studio, which means that it is close to home and convenient for the kid to study.

As for why she didn't join her own group, the main reason was that no one in the group dared to take care of her. They were afraid of offending her, so they had to find a reliable outsider to help.

Of course, to put it bluntly, it was still what Fan Chuyu said.

In short, it is difficult to handle left and right, not to advance or retreat.

Ming Shu pressed his temples, but he still didn't inform Zhuang Qinian.

As long as you don't rush to admit it, even if you find the other person, it has nothing to do with you, just pretend you don't know / don't recognize it.

.

The next day was cloudy, a rare cool weather.The temperature dropped rapidly, only a dozen degrees in the morning, and the wind was blowing before dawn on the street. The sky was gray and gloomy, and a heavy rain would fall at any moment.

However, the weather forecast shows that there will be no rain today, which is cloudy and sunny, and the temperature will continue to rise in the afternoon.

It was peaceful in the middle of the night, and few of them had a solid sleep.

Ming Shu got up earlier than yesterday, and got out of bed at seven o'clock, and then took a leisurely shower before going out.

Aunt Lin came over at 07:30, and started making breakfast as soon as she entered the door, fried bacon and eggs, plus a glass of milk.

After waking up from a hangover, her head was swollen and she was a little dizzy. Ming Shu leaned on the sofa to wake up, massaged herself for a while, and said, "Next time you can come back later, I will make breakfast by myself."

"You don't have the time, you have so much work every day." Aunt Lin was quick to get the pot out of the pot, and turned around to see her lowering her head, "Have a headache?"

"No," Mingshu said, "it doesn't hurt."

"How much did you drink yesterday?" Aunt Lin asked, putting the plate on the table.

Ming Shu sat down at the table, "It's half a bottle, not a lot. Sister Ying and the others are here, so they can't escape, and some friends are here."

Aunt Lin was considerate, and approached her to rub her neck and shoulders, "Drink less next time, it's not necessary to socialize, and Hongying and the others are not outsiders."

Mingshu explained: "It's been a long time since we saw each other, so it's not easy to get together once."

Aunt Lin didn't hesitate, and said, "Eat first, I'll make some hangover soup, and I'll drink it later before leaving."

She stopped, "No need."

Aunt Lin still turned back into the kitchen, insisting on busy work.

After the soup boiled down, he said, "My wife's birthday is next month, don't forget."

Ming Shu ate a small piece of fried egg, "I haven't forgotten."

Aunt Lin smiled and said, "My wife called me two days ago and asked you about it. I wanted to come over to take a look, but the company changed the time due to temporary arrangements. Maybe it will be a while before I'm free."

Ming Shu said, "Yes, she sent me a message."

"I also asked Miss Ji," Aunt Lin muttered, "It's been a long time since I saw you, and I wanted to ask you to go back and have dinner together."

Ming Shu replied, "Let's see."

She came out to her family. Two years ago, she brought Ji Anli back to meet her parents. The process went smoothly, and the trouble didn't reach the point of breaking off the relationship. The Ming family's parents finally accepted it.

Ming Shu's mother was quite satisfied with Ji Anli, and she didn't make things difficult for them. On the one hand, the conditions and abilities of the two were well matched;The old couple often asked Mingshu to take people back for dinner. They got along well in the past two years, and it was normal to see each other every now and then.

Mingshu hasn't told her family about the breakup, and she never brought up the conflict before, and she hasn't thought about how to say it now, and doesn't want her mother to worry too much.

The old couple is getting old and can't bear the toss, and they treat Ji Anli like a half daughter. At the beginning of the year, they still wanted to see Ji Anli's family members, saying that they hoped that they could settle down soon.

It's hard to say anyway.

Mingshu planned to find a suitable time to tell the old couple again, try not to make it too embarrassing, at least pretend to be safe, and don't let them worry too much about him.

It doesn't take time to cook hangover soup, it can be out of the pot in about ten minutes.

She still drank half a bowl, which didn't waste Aunt Lin's kindness.

Aunt Lin couldn't take a break, she was busy cleaning up after cooking the soup, she said inadvertently, "I met the person across from me when I came up, and by chance, I ran into her going downstairs for a morning run, she got up really early."

Ming Shu hummed.

"I didn't recognize her as a foreigner last time I saw her, but she speaks Mandarin very standard, and her accent is accurate, and I even chatted with her a few words." Aunt Lin laughed. Curly is a mixed breed.

Ming Shu didn't correct her, but said, "I also met you in the elevator yesterday."

Perhaps it was out of novelty, but Aunt Lin liked Ning Zhi quite a bit. She talked about it for a while, and finally asked if she wanted to send something over.

The older generation pays more attention to the harmony of the neighbors, and they just moved here, so they think this is very necessary.

Ming Shu refused even if he thought about it. He didn't have the mind to engage in such things, but he stopped when he reached the point of his mouth, and said instead: "It's fine, it's up to you."

I still have to go to the store, and I should go out when the time comes.

Ming Shu didn't care too much, and didn't pay attention to what Aunt Lin said afterwards, so she let it go.

The following day passed comfortably, the sun was not out in the afternoon, and it was still cool and windy.

It rained later in the day, the rain was not heavy, but it didn't stop until six or seven o'clock.

Ming Shu only stays in the store until five o'clock, and leaves work early when he has nothing to do.

Being your own boss is just this little bit of freedom, no one can control you, you can leave as you want.

Today I drove back by myself and didn't ask the driver to pick me up.

In the parking lot, she ran into Ning Zhi again, and saw him as soon as she got off the car.

The kid changed his attire again, this time it was a thin hooded sweater with shorts, canvas shoes, his thin white legs were exposed, and he carried a backpack in one hand, which seemed to be quite heavy, and he didn't know what was in it.

She also came back by car, a black Wrangler with an impressive model.

Knowing that she wouldn't talk to him, Ming Shu didn't greet her, didn't help press the pause button when he entered the elevator, and didn't even press the button for the [-]th floor.

The little ghost still looks like a stranger, so he doesn't feel much about it, he doesn't care.She came in just as the elevator was about to close, glanced at the rows of numbers under the display screen, and actively pressed the floor.

Ming Shu looked at this person out of the corner of his eye, and found that there was a bruise on her left face.

No wonder I had to wear a mask yesterday, and I used an ice pack when I went to the bar at night. It hurt my face.

Not sure if it's causing trouble again or something.

Ming Shu is not curious, let alone ask.

Both of them were reticent, and neither of them opened their mouths.

When it was almost time to reach the corresponding floor, Ming Shu said softly, "Do you want to help?"

The kid tugged on the shoulder strap of his backpack and refused.

"Need not."

Mingshu asked: "Did you not finish moving the rest of the luggage yesterday?"

"No," said the man, "new."

"Daily necessities?"

The other party did not answer.

The elevator arrived, and they went out one after the other.

Mingshu didn't ask any more.

Ning Zhi was still the same as yesterday, turning around and walking to the other side.

It's just that before he took two steps, something fell out of the bag as soon as he moved.

It's a signed commemorative baseball.

The thing rolled quickly, and it slid straight to Mingshu's feet.

Ming Shu lowered his head, bent over to help pick up the ball, and returned it to her.

The other party raised his hand to pick it up, but accidentally touched Ming Shu's fingertips.

It was just a blow, and Ming Shu didn't mind, but the kid seemed to be scalded, and suddenly retracted his knuckles after catching the baseball, and avoided it.

She didn't even look at Mingshu, she just thanked him lightly.

Ming Shu looked at her, not quite understanding.

Ning Zhi didn't explain, and said without turning his head, "I'm going back."
