It is the rush hour, and the asphalt road is full of traffic, and the red lights at the rear of the car are lit up in disorder to remind people that night is coming.

There are white-collar workers coming and going on the side of the road, talking and laughing in small groups and walking towards the nearby subway station.

Xu Qingzhu's long hair was blown up by the wind. She stepped on five-centimeter high-heeled shoes, revealing her white ankles. Black pencil pants wrapped her calves, slender and straight, and her body proportions were enviable.

Liang Shi stood beside her, wearing a light gray windbreaker, a white shirt and black pants inside, all in a minimalist outfit.

Liang Shi is 1.7 meters two, and her net height is six centimeters taller than Xu Qingzhu, but she will change back to flat shoes when driving after get off work. Now standing beside Xu Qingzhu, the two are about the same height visually.

The same tall and thin, the same excellent body proportions.

Liang Shi walked a little further ahead than Xu Qingzhu, trying to resist something for her.

Su Meiqi suddenly grabbed Zhou Yi'an's sleeve tightly, "Sister An, these two are a good match!"

Zhou Yi'an: "..."

Quite an eyesore.

Su Meiqi's eyes sparkled, and she rushed over to call Xu Qingzhu, "Sister Xu."

He greeted Liang Shi again, "Sister Liang."

The last time when she came down from Yunfeng Mountain, Su Meiqi got acquainted with the two of them naturally in the car.

It is still familiar to meet again now.

"What a coincidence." Su Meiqi said, "What are you going to do? Are you going on a date?"

"Yeah." Liang Shi answered first, "I'm going to eat."

"So are we." Su Meiqi said, "To celebrate my finding a job, my aunt treats guests to dinner."

"That's quite a coincidence." Xu Qingzhu's expression was cold, but his eyes fell on Su Yao.

Su Yao is wearing sunglasses, standing elegantly, with a slender neck, and her natural black hair sets off her fair skin.

It was not at all obvious that this was a woman in her early forties.

Xu Qingzhu suddenly thought of a sentence: Time never defeats a beauty.

Because Sheng Yu tilted her head first and said, "It's Rainbow's mother's colleague."

Su Yao looked at Liang Shi, she nodded with a smile, "what a coincidence, we meet again."

"Yeah." Liang Shi always maintained a polite and distant attitude, "Hello."

Xiaodouding Shengyu seemed to be afraid of being ignored, and tried her best to show her sense of existence. She raised her head and asked Liang Shi, "Auntie, do you work here?"

Liang Shi: "..."

Suddenly, I felt an arrow hit my knee.

But he couldn't say anything, so he could only answer: "My wife is here."

"Wow." Sheng Yu's eyes sparkled, "This sister is so beautiful."

Liang Shi: "?"

Are you polite?

Liang Shi's complexion changed slightly, but he didn't argue with a five-year-old child because of the title, but said speciously: "You will be so beautiful when you grow up."

But following Sheng Yu's words, Su Yao set her sights on Xu Qingzhu.

More precisely, eye contact.

A few seconds later, Su Yao's tears fell down.

Xu Qingzhu frowned slightly, she pursed her lips and looked at Su Yao, and asked with a bit of fierce momentum: "Do you know me?"

Su Yao was in a trance, and she shook her head very slowly, as if her body, which had been stiff for a long time, had just started to move.

"Then you..." Xu Qingzhu just started talking, and before the aggressive draft was finished, Su Yao opened her mouth. She couldn't speak after several times, but two lines of tears followed her face slipped.

Su Meiqi panicked, immediately found a piece of paper from her bag, and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did Su Yao realize that she had shed tears, and immediately raised her hand to wipe them off. In a panic, she knocked off her sunglasses, revealing one dull eye, while the other eye was red and watery.

Xu Qingzhu pursed her lips, and the hand on Liang Shi's hand became tighter, as if she was borrowing strength from her.

When Su Yao wiped away her tears and put on her sunglasses again, she apologized softly: "Miss, I'm sorry, I... lost my temper."

"It's okay." Xu Qingzhu paused, "I can ask, why do you show such an expression to me if you don't know me? It will cause misunderstanding."

Su Yao shook her head, "I don't know."

Her voice was muffled, hoarse after sobs, "I don't even know what happened."

In fact, when she saw the young lady opposite, her mind went blank.

It seems that natural emotion is urging my lacrimal glands, and I shed tears inexplicably, and I don’t even know what I am doing after I react.

She wanted to ask this question herself.

But Su Yao can only shake her head, "I'm really sorry."

The tone is sincere and apologetic, which makes people feel embarrassed.

But Xu Qingzhu had already walked over and taken the first step, so naturally there was no reason to retreat.

She showed a decent smile, "Is it because you have seen me before?"

"No." Su Yao looked a little dull after meeting her, and just shook her head slightly: "I don't seem to have seen you before."

"But you give me a very familiar feeling." Su Yao looked at her facial features, pursed her lips and said, "You look a bit like my husband."

"Your husband?" Xu Qingzhu's tone rose, "Is this the child's father?"

"Yes." Su Yao said, "he passed away."

Su Yao was very wary when she approached Liang Shi. When Liang Shi asked her about relevant information before, Su Yao refused to reveal a word.

But now facing Xu Qingzhu, she naturally spoke out her information.

And it's very secret information.

"Then may I ask, do you and your husband only have this daughter?" Xu Qingzhu still smiled.

But there was indifference, indifference, and a little subtle tension in that smile.

"Enough." Zhou Yi'an, who was standing aside, couldn't help but said, "Why is Mr. Xu so concerned about other people's family affairs? Didn't he say he didn't want to know?"

"Suddenly thought about it again." Xu Qingzhu said: "Instead of letting others tell me, why don't I ask myself."

Xu Qingzhu looked at her, his dark pupils looked serious and tough.

She played charades with Zhou Yi'an in public.

Zhou Yi'an said coldly: "Then you might as well ask me."

Xu Qingzhu looked at her, straightened his back, and smiled slightly, "Why do I ask you about my affairs?"

Just one sentence is enough to make Zhou Yian die down.

Su Yao said softly, "what are you talking about? Why can't I understand. "

Su Meiqi also nodded frantically: "Auntie, I don't understand either."

Sheng Yu jumped up and raised her hands, "Me, me, me! I don't understand either."

Xu Qingzhu's voice was clear, and he only asked her: "So you only have this one daughter?"

Su Yao regained that confused expression again. The wide sunglasses almost covered most of her face, but she could still see it through her stiff body movements.

After a long time, the people on both sides of the road gradually dispersed, the street lights came on one after another, and the whole city entered the night.

Su Yao's tone is regretful and helpless.

"I don't remember," she said.

"Have you lost your memory?" Xu Qingzhu asked again: "Where can your memory be traced back? Is it ten years ago, or 20 years ago? Or, do you still remember a person called..."

When she said this, Su Yao took off her sunglasses.

Su Yao's left eye is empty and lifeless, while the right eye rolls around, looking lonely and sad. Her face is much paler than before, and she seems to be unable to hold on. Even so, she is still listening hard. What is the lady on the other side talking about.

Su Yao doesn't know what's wrong with her.

It's a weird feeling after all.

Even though the lady on the opposite side seemed hostile to her, spoke aggressively, and her tone was extremely cold, but she just wanted to hear what the other party was saying clearly, to know what the other party was thinking, and to get close to the other party.

So she took the initiative to take off her sunglasses, wanting to see more of the other person's face.

Could it be because of the very similar face to Qing Lin?

Especially those eyes.

The other party is now in a state of high tension, so the dark pupils appear serious and stubborn.

I remember that many years ago, when she and Sheng Qinglin were arguing over a problem, Sheng Qinglin was like this too.

She had come to terms with the impact of memory loss on her life before.

In a way, the amnesia would make her remaining memories more vivid.

The fragments of getting along with Sheng Qinglin and the traces of falling in love remained in her memory, as if it was just yesterday.

But recently, for some reason, she always dreams in the middle of the night.

A voice in the dream asked her: "Why did you forget me? Why? Shouldn't you love me very much?"

It was an immature child's voice, and then there was the sound of a baby crying in my ears, just like when Sheng Yu was just born.

So after waking up, she will treat Sheng Yu even better.

I also asked Su Zhe if she had forgotten someone very important.

Su Zhe's answer was: "No, you have all the most important people by your side now."

But after the other party met her eyes, he stopped suddenly, as if the pause button was pressed for his breathing.

"Who?" Su Yao followed her words and asked with encouragement.

Xu Qingzhu pursed his lips, but he finally hardened his mind and pronounced the name almost word for word: "Sheng, Qing, Lin."

Su Yao was stunned, then smiled, mixed with a bit of bitterness, "He's my husband, do you know him?"

After finishing speaking, he denied it, "My husband passed away many years ago, Miss should be... very young? How old is this year?"

"23." Xu Qingzhu said coldly.

Su Yao paused for a moment, then said in a daze: "My husband has also been dead for 23 years."

Xu Qingzhu tried to see the traces of lying on her face, but she had a dull expression and a sincere tone, almost answering her every question.

And with a kind of inclusive and pampering tone.

Even when calling her "Miss", she was cautious.

Xu Qingzhu closed his eyes, and then introduced himself to her: "Hello, my name is Xu Qingzhu."

Su Yao's expression was stiff, and tears fell involuntarily. She shook her head dully, her movements were extremely slow, and she looked at a loss, as if she was looking for something.

Xu Qingzhu's cold voice was a little choked up, not as sharp as before.

She said, "Sheng Qinglin is my uncle."

//

The noise downstairs in the company was not pleasant.

Su Yao's face was too pale, and she was in a state of mind wandering. She clutched her clothes tightly and wanted to say something to Xu Qingzhu, but she couldn't.

It is the state of the patient on the verge of collapse.

So Zhou Yi'an said sharply: "Enough."

Su Meiqi also supported Su Yao, and looked at Xu Qingzhu with a little complaint: "Sister Xu, what are you talking about?"

He said to take Su Yao into the car, but Su Yao just didn't move.

Sheng Yu stood there looking left and right, and finally walked over to push Xu Qingzhu. Fortunately, Liang Shi supported her, otherwise she would be pushed to the ground by the child's unexpected action.

Sheng Yu stared at Xu Qingzhu with a pair of aggrieved eyes, "You villain! Bully my mother!"

Liang Shi stood in front of Xu Qingzhu and grabbed Sheng Yu's hand. Just as he was about to teach him a lesson, he saw Su Yao staggering over, squatting down to protect Sheng Yu, and comforted Sheng Yu in a low voice: "Mom is fine..."

Before Sheng Yu could cry, she was dragged by Su Yao and said, "Apologize to this sister."

Sheng Yu turned her head and said stubbornly, "No!"

After a long time of wrangling, Xu Qingzhu was tired from watching, and grabbed Liang Shi's wrist and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

When she and Liang Shi were about to leave, Su Yao suddenly called out, "Miss Xu."

Xu Qingzhu half turned around, looked sideways slightly, "Huh?"

"Will we meet again in the future?" Su Yao asked.

With a little humility and caution.

Xu Qingzhu thought for a while, and replied ambiguously: "Maybe."

This episode made Xu Qingzhu's mood take a turn for the worse. Liang Shi drove away from the office building. On that street, the figures of Su Yao and others gradually blurred into spots of light and disappeared.

Xu Qingzhu leaned on the passenger seat, closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while.

Liang Shi thought she was sad and played a piece of pure music appropriately.

The pure music was put in half, and while waiting for the red light, Liang Shi comforted in a warm voice: "Xu Qingzhu, if you are unhappy, just say it, and I can listen."

"I'm not unhappy." Xu Qingzhu opened his eyes, those eyes were cold and sharp as usual, and even his voice returned to normal, "I was just thinking about what happened back then."

Liang Shi: "?"

She was stunned, "Aren't you really sad?"

Xu Qingzhu asked calmly, "Is being sad useful?"

Liang Shi: "..."

Yes, it didn't work.

Or maybe Xu Qingzhu has passed that sad time, and when he couldn't accept the truth at first, he would avoid and be sad.

But once she accepts it, she will quickly enter the state.

Liang Shi didn't beat around the bush, and asked bluntly, "So, are you going to meet each other?"

Xu Qingzhu shook his head: "I have no plans at the moment."

"I need to check what happened more than 20 years ago." Xu Qingzhu said: "But I am hesitant to check."

Once checked, it is bound to uncover some ugly things.

Liang Shi never expected that Xu Qingzhu's thoughts had already reached this point.

It's like riding a rocket, it's ridiculously fast.

"How do you conclude that something must have happened more than 20 years ago?" Liang Shi asked.

Xu Qingzhu paused for a moment, the cold voice and the sound of the car starting sounded at the same time, but completely overwhelmed the sound of the car.

The car was speeding on the road, Xu Qingzhu spoke in a calm and orderly manner, and analyzed methodically: "I saw her just now, obviously, she doesn't remember having a daughter, even Su Meiqi doesn't know about it."

"Zhou Yi'an told me that she has been staying in the mental hospital, which shows from the side that she may have suffered from mental illness due to strong external stimuli, but she will take that child to see my uncle." Xu Qingzhu suddenly said this title. Pause, and then said again after a while: "And you told me that the child is a single parent, and her surname is Sheng, so it is very likely that she is the daughter of her and my uncle."

"Your uncle has been dead for many years." Liang Shi said.

"Sperm can be frozen." Xu Qingzhu said: "Su Yao still remembers things related to him, so this is not difficult to complete."

Liang Shi: "..."

She had forgotten about it before.

And Xu Qingzhu continued to analyze, "The president of Haiwei Jewelry is now her brother. Recently, I sorted out Minghui's previous information and found that Haiwei Jewelry competed with Minghui in many aspects, mainly from 15 years ago. At that time Su Zhe was the president, and repeatedly grabbed Minghui's business, and finally divided up the market directly."

"Can't it be normal competition in business?" Liang Shi asked deliberately.

Xu Qingzhu shook his head: "If it's a normal business competition, then Haiwei should treat all companies in the jewelry industry equally. But it just so happened that he only targeted Minghui, and even maliciously lowered prices in the industry in order to steal resources from Minghui. Simply run on Ming Fai."

Liang Shi: "..."

It turned out to be the case.

"As recently as July this year, Haiwei was still squeezing Minghui's living space, but since I joined the company..." Xu Qingzhu suddenly smiled, "Haiwei let go of Minghui, even the competitive relationship is not so obvious, I even helped once intentionally or unintentionally."

"Although I'm not sure about this one, after all, I've only been in the company for a short time, but what I can be sure of is that Su Zhe's frantic suppression of Minghui after he took office should have something to do with his sister. And he knows these things, then he Why didn't you come to Sheng's house to ask for an explanation? Instead, you kept suppressing each other in the mall?" Xu Qingzhu asked several questions in succession, and then answered by himself: "It means that they had a conflict over Sheng Qinglin's death more than 20 years ago. And it should be a big contradiction."

Liang Shi: "..."

This logical reasoning ability is really amazing.

This is not over, Xu Qingzhu continued to say seriously: "My birthday is forty days before Sheng Qinglin's death, and the year of my birth is the same year as his death. If this is all a coincidence... then I can only say It's too coincidental."

Liang Shi: "..."

There was a long silence in the car, Liang Shi said quietly: "Don't you think your reasoning ability is ridiculously strong?"

Xu Qingzhu: "?"

She was still thinking about the whole thing seriously, and then looked at Liang Shi in astonishment, "Is this difficult?"

Liang Shi: "..."

"It is necessary to memorize and connect every detail." Liang Shi affirmed, "It is still very difficult."

Xu Qingzhu: "...not bad."

"Then do you really want to dig out the truth?" Liang Shi asked, "Maybe the truth will be cruel."

If it is not cruel, Su Yao will not lose her memory, nor will she live for many years like a mental patient.

This is a very real thing.

"But I also have the right to know." Xu Qingzhu put one hand on the car window, his head resting on his palm, looking lazy and casual, without the tension just now, "The main reason is that even if I don't want to know, there will be someone Come and tell me, so I might as well go see for myself."

"You mean Zhou Yi'an?" Liang Shi asked.

Xu Qingzhu shook his head: "It's not just her."

After she entered the company, she would run into Su Zhe sooner or later.

And Zhou Yi'an, Su Meiqi, and even Liang Shi would meet Sheng Yu when they went to pick up a child.

Somehow, there seemed to be a thread connecting all these people.

Suddenly, she quietly entered her life, as if to say silently: "You should know."

Then you know.

Xu Qingzhu adjusted his state and prepared himself for the worst.

Liang Shi couldn't help admiring her psychological quality, and said sincerely: "Mr. Xu, you are so amazing."

She didn't need to do anything, and she sorted out the context of the whole thing by herself.

"Huh?" Xu Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Mr. Liang, that doesn't sound like a good word."

Liang Shi: "No, it's definitely a sincere compliment."

"Then I accept." Xu Qingzhu said.

Liang Shi asked her, "Have you thought about the worst outcome?"

Xu Qingzhu thought for a moment and replied: "Su Yao's illness was caused by my grandparents, or my parents, and Su Zhe hated the Sheng family so much that he wanted Minghui to go bankrupt immediately. Su Yao recovered her memory and left again. Go abroad, Minghui..."

She paused, and said the last two words in a cold voice: "Bankrupt, childbirth."

//

Liang Shi thought that Xu Qingzhu did that on impulse, but she didn't expect her to think clearly about the whole thing.

Xu Qingzhu also said that if I am not prepared to accept the worst result, I will not do it.

Moreover, Liang thought that Xu Qingzhu would figure it out someday, at least a few months, or three or two years.

But she didn't expect that in less than a week, she figured it out.

Liang Shi felt that... She still didn't know much about Xu Qingzhu.

This man will never cease to amaze her.

Liang Shi also teased Xu Qingzhu, with such a strong logical reasoning ability, why don't he become a suspense writer, or become a lawyer or a public security professional, but Xu Qingzhu shrugged, "I still have a huge company to inherit."

Liang Shi: "..."

She discovered Xu Qingzhu's cold humor again.

But they went to dinner at night, and Liang Shi took Xu Qingzhu to eat super spicy hot pot.

Even if she is not very good at herself, but in order to make Xu Qingzhu feel better, she can be regarded as giving up her life to accompany the gentleman.

After dinner, Liang Shi contacted the agency and asked the agency to take them to see the house.

In the evening, the intermediary wears a thin down jacket and waits at the gate of the complex.

As the car drove all the way, Xu Qingzhu found that the scene in front of her was becoming more and more familiar. When Liang Shi parked the car on the side of the road, she said in surprise: "Isn't this the pretty neighborhood I said that day?"

"That's right." Liang Shi said, "There just happens to be a room vacant here, so come and have a look."

Xu Qingzhu stood beside her, and after walking a few steps, he said: "Ms. Liang can do big things in a low voice."

Liang Shi: "..."

She smiled helplessly, "Ms. Xu is so smart, I always have to show it off."

Xu Qingzhu nodded in approval, "It's great."

Liang Shi: "..."

Still didn't hear any good words in the tone.

But it doesn't matter.

The intermediary showed them a layout of two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. On the 23rd floor, they took the elevator up, and the voice-activated lights turned on.

The layout of the house is not bad, but it is a bit small. The master bedroom and the second bedroom here are not as big as the one bedroom in Repulse Bay.

Liang Shi asked: "Is there no bigger house here?"

"It's gone." The agent said in embarrassment, "Even this one has just been vacated. The last tenants were a young couple who lived here for several years. The room is also newly pasted with wallpaper, so pink and tender."

The agent kept telling Liang Shi that Xu Qingzhu had already visited the kitchen and bathroom.

Liang Shi replied after listening: "Then I will discuss it with my wife."

The intermediary was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, "It's pretty good."

Liang Shi was about to find Xu Qingzhu, but Xu Qingzhu also came over after visiting the house.

The intermediary said with emotion: "You two have such a good relationship, are you newly married?"

Liang Shi: "..."
