Chapter 78 Waiting for you to come back
In the evening, Luo Hanfeng came back earlier than any other day before.
In late autumn, the sycamore trees beside the road have turned yellow. A gust of wind has passed, and the withered yellow leaves fell to the ground one after another. Soon, a soft yellow blanket was paved on the dark gray cement road. In the golden afterglow, the familiar dark blue BMW car ran over slowly...
There are mottled light and shadow slanting into the car window, so far away, and the handsome figure in formal clothes can be faintly seen, looking straight ahead, which is hard to hide.
The person leaning lightly on the balcony couldn't help taking a deep breath. When facing him again, how should she hide the uneasiness in the bottom of her heart? How should she open her mouth and ask, so as not to look too clumsy. Obviously, she has understood everything. Shouldn't she try him?
Today, everything at home seems to be a step faster than usual. Not long after Luo Hanfeng came back, he heard Mrs. Wen come to the room and call her downstairs for dinner.
When I went out and walked through Jingmin's room, I happened to see her come out of the room. Her originally beautiful face became haggard because she was full of worry, and her brown hair hung on her shoulders, which made her petite face look particularly thin.
Bai Shu'an stretched out her arm and put it on her delicate shoulder. As she walked, she said pitifully, "Why do you look listless again? If it goes on like this, when Dad and Yu come back and see your haggard little appearance, you will definitely be heartbroken."
She wanted to make her laugh, but she didn't expect that the person who loved to laugh was still frowned deeply, and she just asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you back?"
"Well, how could you have dinner so early?"
While talking, the two had come to the top of the stairs and walked down the colorful red carpet to the middle. Only then did they see that Luo Hanfeng was sitting alone and meditating in the beige sofa chair in the large living room on the right.
Jingmin, who had been decadent before, seemed to suddenly become energetic. She broke away from Bai Shu'an's arm and quickly flew down the circular stairs to Luo Hanfeng's eyes.
"Brother, have you figured out a way?" It was almost a blurted out of words. After saying that, I was stunned by the cold starlight emitted from Luo Han's wind eyes. After a while, I seemed to come to my senses. I looked back at Bai Shu'an, who had walked to the bottom of the stairs, and repeated in a very low voice but anxiously, "Have you come up with a way?"
"Let's talk about it after dinner." Although it was an answer to Jingmin, his eyes flashed over the thin figure in front of him and fell on the stagnant Bai Shu'an's face. The two looked at each other inexplicably, as if it were a silent confrontation. No one wanted to speak in advance, but only secretly competed in their hearts.
In the end, he had to compromise, because Jingmin couldn't wait to get him up from the sofa and push him to go to the restaurant quickly.
He had to gently pinch Jingmin's little fist with his backhand, try to fix his body, and turn his head to call her name: "Shua'an, why are you still standing there? Come and go to dinner together!"
This time, she stepped forward very obediently and smiled at Jingmin, "Look at you, I was absent-minded just now. Why did I become lively as soon as I saw your brother? I think it should let Hanfeng enlighten him well. If Yu is not here these two days, it's like a person. Come on, is it harmful to lovesickness?
Bai Shu'an's trick of pretending to be deaf and dumb, and he was very effective. Jingmin immediately shook off Luo Hanfeng's arm and rushed to her side. He complained indignantly: "Sister-in-law, don't mention Qingyu's heartless guy to me anymore. After walking for more than half a month, we are all. He called me twice. On the phone, he always said that he was busy and lied to anyone. Maybe he would hang out with a woman. This time he came back and saw that I wouldn't deal with him well!"
Luo Hanfeng, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped his pace, turned around, opened his arms, took the ugly Jingmin into his arms, raised his other hand and gently scratched it on her slightly raised nose, and said in a slightly spoiled tone: "You don't have to worry about this. Dad is looking at Yu beside him, just because he has I don't dare to fool around. Don't worry, I also put the eyeliner next to Yu.
He looked down at his sister's suspicious eyes, deliberately bluffed and coughed twice, and then said solemnly, "According to the detective, Yu is really busy these days. The local residents are very difficult to deal with. After half a month of negotiations, they are finally able to keep the clouds open and the moon.
I just received a message from Singapore this morning. Yesterday's negotiation was a success. I guess that in less than a week, Yu can retire and come back to see you.
The arm around her shoulder tightened, "You, just take care of your body. Don't let him come back and see your haggard look."
Bai Shu'an followed the brother and sister slowly, looking at the harmonious scene in front of her, and her vision was a little blurred.
Sometimes when there are too many plays, there will be an inexplicable trance. I actually feel that the life in front of me really belongs to me. When I dream back at midnight, I will suddenly wake up and remind myself that it is just a dream! It is said that blood is thicker than water, but how true or false is Luo Hanfeng's friendship with Jingmin? Can he see it clearly himself?
This harmonious atmosphere lasted until the end of the dinner, and then Luo Hanfeng locked himself and Jingmin in the study.
Bai Shu'an knew that the two people in the room were discussing in depth about the poisoning incident of the Ruan Group.
It is not easy to convince Jingmin. After all, she is the real heir of the Ruan family group. The rise and fall of the Ruan family also determines the development of her future fate to some extent. Now this great change is a pain for her, and she will definitely do her best to maintain it.
But did Luo Hanfeng really come up with a plan that can turn the world around and make the best of both worlds? He is still perfunctory and sensitive on the surface, while behind his back, he falls into the well and reaps the benefits of fishermen...
She didn't know all this. She tried to suppress the suspicion and curiosity in her heart, and did not approach the door of the study to find out, although her heart was like a tight string, which was on the verge of breaking out.
The light was turned off, and the bright moonlight outside the window enveloped the room in a bright white light.
The late autumn evening breeze is a little cold. Outside the window, a piece of woman passes with the wind, and countless branches and leaves float up, like ruined petals, falling...
She was alone in the sofa, staring at the colorful in the forest. She raised her hand and pressed her heavy chest heavily. She only felt that there was a burst of dull pain in it. No matter how deeply she took a breath, she couldn't linger...
Suddenly, there was a heavy sound of closing the door in the opposite study.
The figure sitting on the sofa hurriedly got up and walked to the bedside, lifted the quilt and fell down quickly, and wrapped his long body in the soft quilt.
Soon, there was a rustling sound outside the door, and then the key was heard inserted into the door hole, with a "kab" turn...
Luo Hanfeng's tall figure swept into the house with the dim yellow light outside the door.
He walked lightly and slowly. It took a long time before he got to the bedside. He seemed to know that she was not asleep. His tone was calm and called her bluntly: "I have something to tell you."
She hesitated for a moment and did not answer, but stretched out her long snow-white arms from the quilt, lit the desk lamp on the wall with a "pop", and then stood up and sat at the head of the bed.
Under the light, I saw him sitting in the rattan chair opposite with no expression on his face. His cold eyes were like the autumn moon outside the window, and he looked rebellious and rejected people outside the door of thousands of miles.
"I'm going on a long trip tomorrow."
The calm voice hit her heart, and Bai Shu felt a pain in relief. She knew that he was deeply in his mind. Does today's attitude mean that he has seen through his mind?
However, as long as he doesn't break it, she must hide it.
"Where are you going?" Her voice trembled a little, her cheeks were covered by her long hair like a waterfall, she bent her legs, and her hands clenched the quilt and pulled it to her jaw, revealing only a delicate and gentle face. She looked at him hesitantly, and then swept out of the window.
His cold eyes have been staring at her, and now he has a sarcastic smile on his lips: "You are so smart that you are with Jingmin every day. Do you have to pretend that you don't know anything?"
So he thought that Jingmin had revealed everything to her. Originally, he was still hesitating how to find an opportunity to test. This would save a lot of trouble. It's better to open the skylight and talk to each other now.
Bai Shu'an raised her hand to straighten her long hair, straightened her head, looked proudly into his cold eyes, and said awe-inspiringly, "Yes, in the past few days, I found that Jingmin was always sad, so I asked her. She told me that my mother's company had encountered a problem."
"Jingmin really told you, so you should know about my past, right?" Luo Hanfeng's face turned pale in an instant, and the moonlight in his eyes disappeared and turned into cold winter ice and snow. His face was white and he shuddered.
Bai Shu'an's hands on his chin unconsciously clenched the child again and met his cold eyes. Although his voice was not loud, he was firm and powerful. "Yes, I already know that Ruan Lingqiu is not your own mother."
"So, what do you think of that problem?" Luo Hanfeng straightened up and really cast an inquiring look at him.
Bai Shu'an struggled for a moment before slowly spit out a sentence: "I believe you will sincerely help her, even for Jingmin."
A strange and sudden smile came gloomyly, breaking the calmness of the night and the indifference atmosphere they looked at each other...
In laughter, he got up and walked through the sofa and came to the French window. He looked at the dark sky outside, as if he was laughing at himself and saying to himself, "Do you think I should help a person who has abused me for eight years?"
She was shocked by his laughter and stunned by his suppressed voice. A painful heart rushed around in her chest, and suddenly she didn't know how to deal with his problems...
Deep in her heart, how much she hoped to soothe his devastated heart; how much she wanted to stand up at this moment, fly behind him like a little yellow finch, wrapping his cold body in a warm body; clearly wanted to use her unique tenderness to extinguish the anger and hatred in his heart...
But she didn't dare to do anything. She cruelly suppressed the warmth and impulse of fanatical fever in her heart and said against her will: "Maybe you have many reasons to hate her, but only one is that she is Jingmin's mother. Jingmin is innocent. Jingmin's respect and love for you are sincere. If you hurt Ruan Lingqiu, you will hurt Jingmin.
The tall figure with her back to her suddenly trembled. After a long time, the slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Maybe it's not her, there is no me today. Should I be grateful to her?" He bowed his head and smiled again, "It's a pity that I'm not as magnanimous as you think..."
So he decided to revenge? Bai Shu'an looked at his firm back, a little distracted and a little in a trance. In the final analysis, he still had a trace of trust in her. Otherwise, he would never show his true feelings at this moment.
She got up slowly, walked to his side, and looked out of the window side by side with him.
"When will you come back..." Her voice was astringent and she stopped talking.
"If it's fast, it will be half a month. If it's slow, it won't be more than a month."
"I will wait for you here to take good care of Jingmin and myself." His nose was sore, the bottom of his eyes sank, and two layers of water mist gushed out brightly in his eyes.
Luo Hanfeng finally turned his head sideways, and a touch of temperature appeared on his indifferent face, which turned into a deep gaze in his eyes. His tone was low but solemnly replied, "Okay."
