"Xiao Lu, we don't know anything, you didn't see anything, you and I just chatted in the garden for a while, that's it, remember?" Huo Dongheng rubbed her cheek hard,
A warm feeling came up, which made Qiu Bailu wake up a little.
"But..." She still couldn't forget the two people lying on the ground. They bled so much that the carpet turned black. Those two people must be hopeless.
Huo Dongheng looked around, as if he was looking for someone, or if anyone noticed anything strange about them, "No, Xiaolu, you must forget what happened just now, did you hear me? Don't think about anything.
, I’ll take you back.”
No matter what happened just now or what the truth is, it is neither the two of them's responsibility nor their control.
"Xiao Lu, what's wrong with you? You look so bad?" Qiu Bailu entered the dance floor and was seen by Cheng Yuanying, who pushed through the crowd and walked over.
Qiu Bailu stared at Cheng Yuanying in despair, as if she couldn't recognize him. Cheng Yuanying was shocked. "Xiaolu, are you okay? Hey, what did you do to her?"
He yelled at Huo Dongheng in a bad mood. Huo Dongheng smiled slightly, ignored Cheng Yuanying, and only said warmly to Qiu Bailu, "Xiaolu, this is our secret, you know? You must keep this secret."
Secret? What secret? Cheng Yuanying wanted to ask Qiu Bailu, but Huo Dongheng was here and couldn't open his mouth. He felt like he had eaten a live hedgehog, unable to swallow or spit it out.
Huo Dongheng avenged an arrow and felt happy. Even the weird and horrifying thing he had just experienced didn't take it to heart. He pulled Qiu Bailu, who was stunned, and walked out. If it were normal, Qiu Bailu would definitely resist.
, she couldn't let him chase his wish, but now, her mind was in a turmoil. Even when Cheng Yuanying talked to her, she didn't bother to answer. She just followed Huo Dongheng's footsteps blankly until she got into the car. Huo Dongheng put the safety
After bringing it to her to tie it up, she stumbled and said, "Those two people...should we call the police?"
"Why are you still thinking about this? Didn't I tell you to forget it? You just came to the banquet with Cheng Yuanying today, and you didn't encounter anything special. Do you hear me clearly? Xiaolu, don't worry
, this matter has nothing to do with you." Huo Dongheng answered in a smooth manner.
The Fang family is not an ordinary family. Even if those two people are dead, I think they will have a way to smooth things over.
All the two of them could do was to pretend they were invisible and get it over with.
Qiu Bailu returned home in a daze, and took a deep sleep. She didn't wake up until noon the next day. The incident was still weighing on her heart like a big stone. Qiu Bailu was stunned for a long time, and then she started working on the task at hand.
She dug everything out and plunged into the drawings, determined not to torture herself anymore. Two weeks passed and no one came to trouble Qiu Bailu, so the stone in her heart was put aside. The studio was renovated.
When Qiu Bailu went to inspect the project, she saw Cheng Yuanying waiting for her at the door of the studio with a stack of newspapers in her hand.
She raised a finger and stopped Cheng Yuanying before he could speak, "If you want to ask me what happened that day, then please leave."
Cheng Yuanying was blocked by her and said unwillingly, "Can't you ask? Can't you say a word? That day..."
Qiu Bailu gave him a trick, which made Cheng Yuanying hurt all over. He gritted his teeth and endured it, and finally said harshly, "If you don't ask, don't ask. Keeping secrets is... humph..."
What the hell is this damn secret!!
"If there's nothing wrong, come with me to see the client today." Qiu Bailu said to Cheng Yuanying while inspecting the new office.
Someone sent an email two days ago, asking her to do design. She has not taken small orders recently, but because the customer is in Binhai City and she was in a bad mood, she took the next step as soon as her head became hot.
I made an appointment with a client today, and since Cheng Yuanying was there, I captured him and used him as free labor.
Cheng Yuanying grumbled and got into the car, "If you have anything to do, just come to me, but if you have secrets, don't tell me..."
Qiu Bailu laughed softly and ignored him, and listened to him as if he was complaining about a woman. Cheng Yuanying herself was bored with humming, so she stopped making any sound. Qiu Bailu turned on the radio, which was playing a popular dance song, a song.
After the song was played, the two announcers began to gossip about some recent grievances between wealthy families in Binhai City. Qiu Bailu never liked to hear such things, and thinking of what happened to the Fang family, she turned off the radio station.
It was during the morning rush hour and the road was extremely congested. Qiu Bailu opened the newspaper brought by Cheng Yuanying and flipped through it casually.
After flipping through a few pages of economic and current affairs, she continued reading, looking for the current Sudoku to do, but unexpectedly a column popped into her eyes.
"President Qiu's new favorite is suspected of having a miscarriage. She is crying and her face is withered."
The picture inserted in the report was a candid photo. In the photo, a woman wearing large black sunglasses was being helped out of the hospital gate. Although the sunglasses covered half of her face, Qiu Bailu still recognized her at a glance.
she.
Cheng Yuanying was waiting to change lanes when he suddenly felt something was wrong with the people around him. He turned his head and looked over. Qiu Bailu was staring at the newspaper with a shocked face. Her fingers were clenching the newspaper tightly, and her knuckles were white from excessive exertion. Cheng Yuanying leaned over to look.
He glanced at the newspaper and said with a bit of toothache, "Hey, has it been reported? These paparazzi are really fast."
"Do you know this?" Qiu Bailu was stunned. She was just thinking about how credible this news was, and whether it was a deliberate stunt by the paparazzi to increase newspaper sales. But if Cheng Yuanying knew about it,
That's probably true.
Cheng Yuanying didn't care, and turned the car onto the expressway with a graceful movement, "Well, it spread last week. I heard that I had a dispute with someone over a piece of fur in Yintai Mall, and then I lost my footing and rolled off the elevator.
Go down, the child is gone. The woman who had the accident with her happened to have some friendship with my second brother, and my second brother accidentally said it at the gambling table. It seemed that he had given birth to a fully formed boy..."
"Are you unhappy? You thought you would be happy to hear the news."
Is she happy? Why should she be happy? Because other women have lost their children, so she feels happy? Qiu Bailu bit her lip tightly and said nothing.
Did you get into a dispute with someone because of a piece of fur? If this happened to other people, it might just be an accident, but if it happened to Ren Ying, it would seem too strange. No matter how frivolous Ren Ying is, she should know
How important is this child to her, unless she really thinks that Huo Dongheng wants to marry her because he loves her so much.
"Besides...the miscarriage, does she have any other injuries?"
"Well, it seems like nothing happened to me. It's amazing that I fell from such a high elevator and was able to survive unharmed."
Falling from the elevator? This is such a familiar scene. She seems to still feel the pain of losing her child that day. As a mother, she would rather have an accident happen to herself than hurt her child in the slightest. What Cheng Yuanying said
Yintai Qiu Bailu has also been there. The floors there are higher than those in ordinary shopping malls, so the elevators are much longer. Qiu Bailu doesn't believe that if this is an accident, Ren Ying will not be injured at all except for losing her child.
This is definitely not just an accident, because the time is wrong, the place is wrong, and the people are wrong.
"What are you thinking about? You seem to be paying close attention to her."
Instead of paying attention to her, he paid attention to this matter. There seemed to be something remarkable hidden behind this matter, but Qiu Bailu couldn't see it clearly at the moment. Just like a beast lurking in the night, sooner or later it would pounce out.
.
"After all, we are acquaintances. It is inevitable to feel very unfortunate when hearing this kind of news." Qiu Bailu frowned. This incident made her feel very uneasy. Her heart was beating violently in her chest, as if it was about to pop out.
of.
"Oh, for a woman like her, maybe it's retribution..." Cheng Yuanying stopped after finishing speaking.
He knew more or less what happened between Qiu Bailu and Huo Dongheng. Let's not talk about these old things, just take the recent ones as an example. Ren Ying did that kind of excessive behavior towards Qiu Bailu. If something happened to her now, Cheng Yuanying wouldn't care.
He would feel surprised. Even if Qiu Bailu touched her hand, Cheng Yuanying would only say that she did a good job. Cheng Yuanying was born in that kind of family. Since he came to Binhai, he has been living in calculations every day. He thinks that
He is not a good man or a believer in women. He believes in retribution, tooth for tooth, eye for eye.
What's more, this matter has nothing to do with Qiu Bailu. It can only be said that those who do unrighteousness will inevitably die. Our ancestors are wise.
Qiu Bailu didn't answer, her heart was in a mess, she could clearly see the thread, but she couldn't pull it out.
Xinyue's client lived in a small apartment on the outskirts of Binhai City. When Cheng Yuanying parked his car, he happened to receive a call from the company. He was busy handling official matters and did not go up with Qiu Bailu.
The client's address was on the third floor. While Qiu Bailu was waiting for the elevator, she discovered that this apartment building seemed to have just been built. The building still exuded a decorative smell unique to new buildings. There were still white stains left during the decoration on the floor of the corridor.
It was dusty, the whole floor was empty, and no one lived there.
The room agreed with the client was at the end of the corridor. When Qiu Bailu walked over, the entire corridor echoed with the soft sound of her high heels on the floor.
The door to the room was ajar. She knocked twice, and the man responded from inside, "Miss Qiu? Please come in."
The room was covered with thick transparent plastic tape. Qiu Bailu wore high heels because it was working time. The thin and pointed heels gave a strange feeling when walking on it, as if walking on ice. She had to be careful.
