The voice she heard on the phone that day, Xi Xiangdong always owed her a complete explanation, saying that he didn't mind that it was a lie, she could only convince herself over and over again, to believe him, to believe him...
But women are born to be as careful as dust, and all these clues made her heart feel like being pricked by needles, causing intense pain.
After sending her home, Xi Xiangdong was always absent-minded.
Seeing this, Shen took Duoduo back and said, "If the company is busy, don't take Duoduo to the amusement park today. I'll play with her at home."
Xi Xiangdong nodded, but did not go to the company: "I will stay with you at home. Aren't you going to have dinner with Mr. Tong tonight?"
Speaking of this, Shen Ke got a headache.
As soon as Zhong Lan heard the word "Tong", she hung up the phone. When she called again, Zhong Lan refused to say a word. He just said that he would be unaccustomed to eating with rich people, so he refused.
But after all, Tong Leyan was kind to him, and Mr. Tong was an elder, so he had to give him face, and Shen Ke also wanted to find out what happened back then.
There was just a vague fear in her heart, just like the nightmare she had that night, she was afraid that the dream would come true.
"Can you come with me tonight?"
Xi Xiangdong nodded, and just as he was about to agree, the phone rang again.
This time it was not Mo Xiaoxiao, but Rao Qiyun.
He did not evade anymore and answered the question in front of Shen Ke. Rao Qiyun's voice was still as cynical as before: "Mr. Xi, I heard that you have been in some trouble recently. Brother, I will help you." It’s solved. You won’t blame me for being nosy, right?”
Xi Xiangdong was still confused: "What's the trouble?"
Rao Qiyun smiled meaningfully: "Let's watch TV. If you're free, let's have dinner together in the evening."
After that, he hung up the phone. Xi Xiangdong turned on the TV and saw that the news was broadcasting a major traffic accident that had just occurred. A white van unfortunately rushed out of the guardrail on the winding mountain road in the suburbs and fell into the cliff. There was a deceased person in the car. , the ID card is under investigation.
When Xi Xiangdong saw the abandoned white van in the news picture, his eyelids suddenly trembled.
Shen Ke looked at his expression and asked, "What did Rao Qiyun say?"
The palms of his hands on his knees were cold. He slowly tightened his grip and calmed his voice: "He invited me to dinner to discuss business tonight."
"Ah..." Shen Ke remembered her request just now, but she couldn't say it generously. Then you go ahead and I'll go have dinner with the Tong family by myself, because she was really afraid of facing the Tong family.
She could only look at Xi Xiangdong without saying a word, expecting him to make a choice.
Sure enough, he turned around and smoothed Shen Ke's hair from his forehead: "I'm afraid I can't accompany you tonight. You can go there by yourself, okay?"
Shen Ke sighed: "Okay."

In the afternoon, Shen Ke was telling stories to Duoduo in the living room when he suddenly heard a follow-up report on the news. The identity of the deceased who fell off the cliff had been confirmed and was Mo Xiaoxiao, a contracted artist of Bo Xiao Entertainment.
The police also called Boxiao Company, and they were all transferred to the public relations department. Only then did Shen Ke understand why Xi Xiangdong had been absent-minded all day.
She remembered what Xi Xiangdong called "Mo Xiaoxiao" in the parking lot. Was it Mo Xiaoxiao who was talking to him on the phone at that time? She had not been in a car accident at that time?
She admitted that she was a little jealous and a little concerned, but she didn't expect that Mo Xiaoxiao would have an accident so soon. Since the deceased was the oldest, she still put Duoduo down from her arms, made a Christian mass gesture, and prayed for Mo Xiaoxiao.
