Cheng Yuanying held the steering wheel. His driving posture was very masculine, and his movements when parking and shifting were very neat. Qiu Bailu thought of Huo Dongheng. The two of them were actually similar. To achieve their goals, they could endure many things that ordinary people would consider intolerable.
But I wonder if he can risk everything like Huo Dongheng.
"Then I choose what I like." Cheng Yuanying said while peeking at Qiu Bailu's expression from the corner of his eyes, "As a man, it is not a glorious thing to always rely on your wife."
Qiu Bailu chuckled lightly and didn't answer. She didn't seem to believe him.
"You don't believe it?" Cheng Yuanying raised his eyebrows.
Qiu Bailu replied, "It's not that I don't believe it, I just can't fully believe it. If the benefits a woman can bring you are far greater than the love another person can bring you, will you still insist on this choice? After all, feelings can be cultivated, but money
Power cannot be obtained through hard work."
She once believed in a man wholeheartedly, but the final result was so tragic that she didn't even dare to recall it. Now Cheng Yuanying asked her to believe in him... She couldn't even if she didn't want to.
Cheng Yuanying didn't expect her to be so pessimistic and unwilling to trust others. Her usually strong and passionate appearance seemed to be just a mask, and the real her under the mask had long been messy and broken.
She rarely took off her mask to show others, and this was the first time he saw the fragility and uncertainty deep in her soul.
Cheng Yuanying felt regretful. He started to pay attention to her from her early works. Her previous works may not be as mature as they are now, but there is something firm in them, like gold sand in rubble, which can be seen at a glance.
Such as innocence, such as kindness, such as belief in love, but now...those things are being buried little by little. They have not disappeared, but they have been carefully hidden by her. In order not to be hurt anymore, she forced herself to wear them.
With a thick layer of armor, she might be able to rely on this layer of armor to resist the cruelty of reality, but the hard armor itself had already injured her horribly.
Huo Dongheng.
You bastard.
Cheng Yuanying cursed secretly in her heart, but her face was still calm. "Your hypothesis may be a very suitable hypothesis for others. But it does not hold true for me, because the person I like happens to be able to help me.
Qiu Bailu, I still said the same thing and suggested that, do you want to give it a try?"
*Qiu Bailu's studio reopened on Singles' Day. In fact, the studio has been decorated for a long time, but Qiu Bailu chose to leave it for a few more days to let out the smell for the sake of the health of all employees.
On the day of the opening, Qiu Bailu gave big red envelopes to all employees, including herself. Everyone accepted the red envelopes, took a group photo together in front of the studio, then found their respective offices and started working.
"Hong" has become famous in the industry due to a series of work and publicity in the past few months. Qiu Bailu's hard work finally paid off. She joked with her colleagues that she can live a good life now because she chooses clients, not customers.
It's time to pick her day.
"Boss, there is a customer who said they have a big engineering renovation project. Do you want to make an appointment with him?" He Anran texted in to ask.
"Hong" now not only accepts home interior design work, but also some small construction projects. Qiu Bailu feels that her work cannot always be limited to one type of business, but should be diversified. This will not only improve the company's overall strength, but also improve the overall strength of the company.
The improvement of one's own professional knowledge is also of great help.
She began to work as an auditor at the city's architectural college, spending a day and a half every weekend in classes. Only a few pitiful hours were left for her to truly belong to herself.
In those few hours, Cheng Yuanying couldn't even hope to get half of it. When Luo Yan came back from the mountains, he immediately drove Qiu Bailu to the Luo family's old house and gave her a lot of stones from the snow-capped mountains. Cheng Yuanying really couldn't understand.
Why does Qiu Bailu like these black koji stones far more than herself?
In fact, he didn't know that even if there was no stone, Qiu Bailu would not choose him if it was just him and Luo Yan.
Qiu Bailu never gave him an answer to his suggestion that day.
Although it had been more than a year since all these unfortunate events began, and she had successfully left Huo Dongheng and became a free agent, she was still unwilling to start a new relationship. She felt that all her love had been consumed.
Even if she saw that Cheng Yuanying was a good person, or at least a fairly sincere person, she would not take the initiative to take a step forward.
She was injured so deeply that although the surface was scabbed, the inside was still dripping with blood.
"Did anything happen while I was away?" Luo Yan went to Tibet this time and not only brought back stones, but also brought many thangkas painted by Tibetan monks and Tibetan scriptures to give to Qiu Bailu, a page of Qiu Bailu
As he opened the parchment page by page, his hands paused after hearing Luo Yan's words.
She thought about what happened to the Fang family, but also thought that it had been nearly a month and no one had caused trouble for her, so she hid the matter. She knew that if she told Luo Yan, she might be able to give her some advice.
She added a layer of protection, but she really didn't want to trouble Luo Yan with such boring things.
Luo Yan has helped her a lot, but he can't repay her even if he helps her. She doesn't want to owe him too much love, because she's afraid that she won't be able to repay it even if she tries her best.
Luo Yan is not like Cheng Yuanying. Cheng Yuanying expresses her feelings very clearly. She knows what he wants, but for Luo Yan... Qiu Bailu can't see this person clearly. She feels that Luo Yan himself is like a snow mountain, hidden in the mountains.
Under the clouds and fog, only the top of a snow-capped mountain is usually visible, making it impossible for people to see his true appearance.
"What else can happen? Anyway, I don't mess with others, and others shouldn't mess with me." The Tibetan scripture in my hand is very precious. It is not a popular commodity sold to tourists on the market, but is really from the temple.
Written by a great lama, although the Tibetan Qiubailu above is not readable, it feels reassuring to hold it in your hand.
Luo Yan was severely sunburned when he climbed the mountain, and his whole body seemed to have been re-coated with a layer of black. Although he had been down for a while, his lips were still dry. However, this added a lot of masculinity to him, and he didn't look like he had any
So morbid. "What if someone messes with you?"
He smiled at Qiu Bailu, who blushed and whispered, "Then I will resist." After she finished speaking, she saw that Luo Yan was still smiling, as if he didn't believe her, so she immediately added, "Luo Yan
Brother, I am no longer the same person. If someone bullies me, I will never let others bully me and not know how to fight back like before."
"Oh, that sounds good. Then tell me how you resisted. What happened to Ren Ying was not your fault."
Qiu Bailu didn't expect that Luo Yan, who was far away in the snowy mountains, also knew about Ren Ying's miscarriage. She couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Brother Luo, do you think I did it?"
There are rumors about Qiu Bailu outside. Some good people said that Ren Ying had a strange miscarriage. It was very similar to Qiu Bailu's experience at that time. She got into an argument and then rolled down the stairs. Many people even suspected that it was Qiu Bailu.
Buying evil to harm others, but Qiu Bailu never paid attention to what others said, and never defended herself, because she knew very well that you couldn't stop the people who wanted to talk, and those boring people,
If they want to talk, they can say it. Those who are clean will be cleansed. One day the truth will come out. Even if it doesn't come out, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Ren Ying already hates her in her heart. If she hates her any more, she can't resist it.
But I didn't expect that this matter had already caused even Luo Yan to become suspicious...
"Of course you won't do such a thing, Xiaolu, you are still too kind. You have to know how good people can be bullied. For some things, the more you give in, others will force you. Instead of letting them push you to the point of desperation,
, you might as well attack in advance."
"But there is no way I can do such a thing as hurting a child." Qiu Bailu closed the Tibetan scripture, "I really hate Ren Ying, and I also know that with her personality, I want her to disappear.
It's impossible to calm down and not make trouble, but to attack a pregnant woman..."
"Do you think this kind of thing is cruel? The person who did this is cruel?" Luo Yan was turning the obsidian bracelet on his wrist. When he asked this question, his movements stopped. His eyebrows lowered slightly.
, making people unable to see clearly the light in his eyes.
Qiu Bailu hesitated for a while, and then said, "I always feel that children are innocent. If children are affected because of disputes between adults, I can't accept that kind of thing... And for people who do such things, I
There is no way to accept it.”
"Oh, if I say, I asked someone to do it."
"Crash." With a sound, the Tibetan scripture in Qiu Bailu's hand fell to the ground, and the parchment rolls were scattered on the ground. When he opened the page, it was recorded that the Langdama destroyed the law, the Buddha statue was destroyed, and the ghosts walked at night.
Qiu Bailu's body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't even speak. After a long time, she found her voice and spoke tremblingly, "No...it won't...
Brother Luo, don't joke about this kind of thing."
"A joke? If I know you hate this so much, I really hope it is a joke." Luo Yan replied lightly. He stretched out his hand and held Qiu Bailu's trembling hand, "It's just that there has never been an if in this world.
Maybe, if you do it, you do it. Xiaolu and Ren Ying’s things were done by me."
He said it so easily, as if he didn't take human life seriously at all. Qiu Bailu felt as if she didn't know Luo Yan like this, "But why? Brother Luo, why do you do such a thing?"
The Luo family is in the shipping business, and most of the shipping companies are related to gangs. If they are more greedy, they are involved in smuggling, drug trafficking, and everything. Of course Qiu Bailu knows that Luo Yan is not a good person, but she never imagined that this matter
