Cen Zhiqiao lowered his eyes and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He hesitated for a long time and then said: "Because he looks like a friend of mine before."
Dong Xi raised his eyebrows: "Friend?"
"Yeah." Cen Zhiqiao nodded: "Because they are so similar, I wanted to ask you. After all, he is your...brother-in-law. Maybe I can know something."
"Do you suspect that he is your friend?" Dong Xi still didn't understand for a moment: "What about your friend?"
"He..." Cen Zhiqiao bit his lip and his body trembled almost unnoticeably.
It seemed that he had been pondering for a long time before he said those words: "He may be dead, but..."
She always thought she was dead. Even if she didn't find the body, she didn't dare to give herself too much hope. She was afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. But the moment she saw He Yan, she was a little shaken.
Are there really two people who are so similar in the world? She didn't believe it, so she had to ask.
"Understood." Before she could finish what she said, Dong Xi nodded, but then he frowned again: "You want to ask me about him, but I may not be very clear about some things. You also
You know, I am in China all year round, and they are abroad. Apart from occasional meetings, we have no contact with each other on weekdays, so no one told me about him, and I didn't ask specifically."
"You don't know at all? You don't even know when he will appear next to your sister?" Cen Zhiqiao asked a little anxiously.
Dong Xi just shook his head: "Probably as the newspaper said, more than two years ago, Mr. Dong encountered some difficulties, and his father happened to be in poor health. At that time, it was Brother He Yan who came out to preside over the overall situation, which saved Mr. Dong from danger, and so did I.
That’s when I learned of his existence.”
More than two years...
Cen Zhiqiao bit his lip, as if he had asked something, but he was still confused.
Finally, she asked Dong Xi to tell her what he remembered, and the two of them ate in silence.
After lunch, Cen Zhiqiao returned to the office first. Dong Xi had a meeting to hold, so he went straight to the conference room.
In order to finalize the plan for new products, even Dong Xuan, who had just returned from abroad, attended the meeting. During the meeting, Dong Xi was still thinking about Cen Zhiqiao's doubts, and stopped Dong Xuan after the meeting.
"Sister, when did you come back?"
He and Dong Xuan are half-siblings, so their relationship on weekdays is not cordial. Because of this, Dong Xi doesn't interfere much with her affairs and only works as his design director at Dong's.
Everyone in the conference room was gone, leaving only the two siblings.
Dong Xuan slowly finished packing her things and then looked up: "Oh, the American company has nothing to do these two days, so I just wanted to come back to accompany your brother-in-law and finalize the details of the engagement."
"You want to get engaged in the country?" Dong Xi was a little confused.
Dong Xuan nodded: "Ayan doesn't like foreign things, so I just want to follow his wishes, but I haven't told him this yet, so don't tell him either."
Dong Xi agreed. It could be seen that Dong Xuan was very considerate of He Yan, but...
"Sister, I have always had a question, how did you and your brother-in-law meet? I always feel like my brother-in-law fell out of thin air. I have never heard anyone mention it before."
Dong Xuan was stunned for a moment: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Ah, it's nothing. It's just that Manager Cen said that Brother He Yan is very similar to her previous friend, so I asked more."
Dong Xuan still didn't come to her senses: "Manager Cen?"
"Yes, she is a very talented girl from our design department." Dong Xi nodded.
Suddenly recalling the person she met in the general manager's office in the morning, Dong Xuan couldn't help but frown: "Did she say who she looked like?"
Dong Xi shook his head: "Then I don't know."
Seeing that Dong Xuan looked sick, Dong Xi asked again: "Sister, what's the problem? Brother He Yan..."
"No problem. He Yan is the son of one of my father's former friends. Later, his family fell into decline and his father met him. He thought he was capable, so he took him with him." Dong Xuan explained.
Speaking of this, Dong Xi didn't feel like asking any more questions, so he just nodded and left the conference room.
Dong Xuan still sat there without moving.
At first, she and her father were also looking for that person's family, but because of the disfigurement, there was no result. But now, Manager Cen suddenly came out and said that the person was similar to her friend. Is it difficult?
No...
She picked up the intercom phone on the table in the conference room and dialed the personnel department: "Xiao Zhang, show me the information of all the employees in the design department."

That night, Cen Zhiqiao received a call from Huo Dongxuan.
"Qiao Qiao, there is news. Almost three years ago, a plastic surgery institution in the United States found that person's hospitalization record. According to my staff, he had severe burns all over his body and had a skin grafting operation. Even his face was damaged.
Got it straightened out."
Cen Zhiqiao raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt a little happy at this moment: "Burn? Skin grafting? Plastic surgery? Dongguan, is your news reliable?"
"Of course." Huo Dongzhen's tone deepened: "But just to be cautious, I plan to go to the United States tonight to confirm it myself."
"I'll go too."
Cen Zhiqiao's tone couldn't stop being excited. If what Huo Dongzhen found out is true, then it is very likely that he is him!
"That won't work. You should wait at home while I go." Huo Dongzhen interrupted her joy in a deep voice: "You can't help much if you go, and there are lemons that need your care, so you can rest assured.
Wait at home for my news."
What he said makes sense. Cen Zhiqiao thought about it and nodded: "Okay, then go and come back quickly."
"Mom, where are you going?" Little Lemon was staring at the TV watching cartoons seriously. When Cen Zhiqiao hung up the phone, he turned around and asked.
Cen Zhiqiao couldn't hide the joy in his heart. He hugged him and kissed him fiercely. His whole body was full of motivation: "Baby, it's a good thing. It's a great good thing. If it's true..."
She hugged her son and was very excited.
If it's true, that's great.
The next two days were very torturous. The weekend that was originally the most anticipated for working people made people anxious. I just wished that time would fly by so quickly and Huo Dongzhen could come back as soon as possible.
But things didn't seem to go as smoothly as expected. I finally got a call from Huo Dongchen on Monday afternoon, but the result was disappointing.
"There was a fire in the hospital's database, which happened to be the batch of files from two or three years ago, so all that person's information was burned."
Throughout the afternoon, Cen Zhiqiao was stimulated by this shocking news, and his original joy and excitement disappeared instantly.
Why did it suddenly burn out? It happened at this time!
If it could be a little later, maybe...
At this time, He Yan entered the general manager's office. Dong Xuan was on the phone. After hearing the noise, she whispered something to the other end of the phone, hung up, and went to greet her.
"Is the meeting over?"
"Well, the plan has finally been decided." He Yan nodded, rubbing his brows tiredly.
Dong Xuan put her hands around his waist: "My dear, thank you for your hard work. The company has been thanks to you in the past few years, and I am also thanks to you."
Suddenly emotional, He Yan couldn't help but smile. Looking down at her touching face, he seemed to smile: "Silly girl, why is this hard work? You and Uncle Dong are my life-savers. If you hadn't saved me back then,
He killed me and took me to the United States for surgery. I can’t even imagine what I’m like now.”
She was always calm and gentle, without much of an expression on her face. He put a big hand on her back and patted her twice comfortingly.
"That's fate." Dong Xuan spoke softly, but her tone was very firm.
"It is fate destined by God."
Most women are particularly sentimental when it comes to love. At this moment, she is not a majestic strong woman, but just a little woman in his arms.
He Yan couldn't help but laugh: "You women..."
"You seem to know what we women are, but...do you have other women besides me?" Dong Xuan muttered.
She loves to be jealous, which he knows very well. At this time, all he needs to do is coax her, so he tightened his arms and said, "Look at you, you are thinking wildly. I am in your sight every day. Is there any other woman? Don't you think so?"
Not sure?"
"Then are you satisfied with me? Am I the kind of woman you want?"
Dong Xuan was a little strange today. It seemed that even her usual self-confidence had disappeared. At this time, she felt uneasy all over her body.
He Yan lowered his eyes, glanced at her, and hesitated again, seeming to be stumped by this question.
He had been with her since he woke up, so he felt that the development of his relationship was a matter of course, and he never really thought about this issue.
Does he want her, and is she suitable for him? If she hadn't asked such questions, he probably wouldn't have thought about it.
But at this moment, he hesitated.
She is very good, no doubt, to use one of the most popular words today, she can go to the hall and go to the kitchen, but... he seems to be more grateful to her, and under such feelings, others
Feelings all seem so insignificant.
So, he nodded: "Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. How could I be dissatisfied with you?"
"Then you love me?"
Love?
This time, it really stumped him.
He knew that he should nod at this time, but unexpectedly, a vague shadow suddenly flashed in his mind, and his body froze there.
"I..." He let go of his hand around her waist and frowned.
His head seemed to hurt a little and his chest felt a little tight. He didn't know what was wrong with him, he just felt a little painful.
"What's wrong with you?" Noticing his abnormality, Dong Xuan stopped worrying and hurriedly leaned over to check.
He Yan shook his head: "I'm fine, but my head hurts a little, as if something flashed through me."
One sentence made Dong Xuan's expression change instantly.
"Flashed? Did you remember something?" she asked with a trembling voice.
If it were in the past, she would never be so nervous, but after checking some things in the past two days, she began to feel uneasy and felt that his existence was not so real.
He Yan shook his head: "There is just a shadow, but I can't remember anything." At this point, he laughed at himself: "It would be great if I could remember it."
Dong Xuan finally felt relieved, helped him sit down on the sofa, poured him a glass of water, and then said: "Don't think about it, you will always remember it when you should remember it."
He Yan took the water and took a sip. The headache had disappeared. With that trace of figure, he nodded, "I know, it's okay. Don't worry."
How could she really feel relieved, but Dong Xuan still put on a smile, sat down next to him, looked at that handsome face, and after a long while, she said in a low voice: "Ayan, let's get engaged!
"
*
The engagement ceremony of Dong's daughter is naturally the headline in City A, but for someone like Cen Zhiqiao who doesn't pay attention to gossip and only watches the news, it is a fantasy.
So when she was dragged into gossip by Tong Ling as soon as she entered the company, she suddenly felt a little confused.
"Who? Who's engaged?"
"Mr. He and Miss Dong, just last night, the engagement banquet was held at the Tianchao Hotel. Take a look. This is a special report." Tong Ling yelled as she pushed a stack of newspapers in front of Cen Zhiqiao.
Cen Zhiqiao was even more confused.
In the photo, they looked like a beautiful couple, a man and a woman, but when it fell into her eyes, it was so dazzling that she couldn't help but bite her lip.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk--"
Just as he was talking, there was a slight knock on the door outside the office. Both of them were stunned, and a deep voice sounded from outside the door: "Manager Cen, clean up. I will go to H City with me later."
.”
"Ah?" Cen Zhiqiao was stunned. In her surprise, He Yan's figure had disappeared from sight, and she suddenly came back to her senses.
What did you say just now? City h?
"What are you doing at h?" In the parking lot, after calling Tongtong and entrusting Lemon to him, Cen Zhiqiao hurried over.
But even now she doesn't know what to do in City H.
H city...
"The factory over there has objections to your design drawings and needs your on-site explanation so that it can be put into production as soon as possible." He Yan said lightly and started the car.
Seeing this situation, Cen Zhiqiao naturally couldn't hold back any longer, so he opened the car door and bent down to get in the car.
The faint smell of lemon hit her nostrils. Cen Zhiqiao was stunned for a moment. Her eyes fell on his five fingers holding the steering wheel. The ring on them was eye-catching. For some reason, her heart suddenly felt empty.
She bit her lip: "Mr. He..."
Otherwise... just ask him, ask him if he is, if he is that person.
However, He Yan just looked ahead intently and whispered in his throat: "What's the matter?"
"Um...have you been to City H before?"
He Yan turned his head and glanced at her: "No, what's wrong?"
"Have you never been here? Or...you don't remember?" Cen Zhiqiao insisted and asked again.
He Yan's eyebrows frowned unconsciously: "I..." It is true that he didn't remember, but looking at her doubtful expression, what he wanted to say stopped in his throat. He didn't answer and asked instead: "You seem to be particularly interested in my affairs.
I’m curious, can you tell me why first?”
Cen Zhiqiao was stunned: "Because you are very similar to someone I know, so similar, so..."
"Who?" For no reason, He Yan's usually calm heart trembled slightly because of her words. It seemed that emotions that even he himself had not noticed were shrouding his heart, so he asked subconsciously.
Cen Zhiqiao bit his lip: "Yes...he is my husband."
He Yan's eyelids twitched: "Your husband?"
"Yes." Cen Zhiqiao nodded.
"According to media reports, you only appeared at Dong's more than two years ago, and my husband also had an accident at that time, so I want to ask you about your previous affairs, because you are so similar to him.
"
"What happened before?" He Yan's brows furrowed even more tightly, "Actually, I..."
[Ouch, what will our Yan Guoguo say? Hehehehe, we will reveal it tomorrow~]
