Yi Duanfang vanished.
Just as the gossip that he came out of the room of Tong Siqi in the middle of the night was discussed by everyone with relish, he did not appear in the eyes of everyone.
Wang Weixi gazed at the documents on his desk absently, and the pen in his hand didn’t move all the time.
Lan Ling stood there, and could not help shouting, “General Wang, general Wang, what happened to you?”
Wang Weixi woke up from dazed, his eyes staring blankly at the Lan Ling with a strange expression in front of him, and said awkwardly, “What?”
Lan Ling shook her head helplessly, and then pointed to the document in front of him and said, “File… hurry to use it.”
Wang Weixi discovered that he was too preoccupied to sign the file. Hurriedly bowing his head, flipping the file, he signed quickly and handed over to Lan Ling.
After getting the file, Lan Ling turned and she was about to leave.
“Secretary Lan, wait a minute.” Wang Weixi suddenly stopped her.
Lan Ling turned around and asked with some strange, “General Wang, what’s wrong?”
Wang Weixi thought for a moment and asked, “Does Duanfang contact with you?”
Lan Ling was stunned for a while, consequently, she smiled mockingly and said, “General Wang, Director of Yi does not even contact you, how can he contact me? His secretary cannot find him, let alone me?”
Wang Weixi said with some disappointment, “I see, sorry, you can go.”
Lan Ling turned and left, closing the door of the office, and sighed very tiredly. She absolutely heard about the company’s gossip, but she didn’t believe it like those people. She remembered Tong Siqi, the woman she hated instinctively, and it seemed that Tong Siqi hid a big conspiracy. After she appeared, Wang Weixi and Yi Duanfang became weird, but what made Lan Ling mind was the thing she saw that day.
“Well, it was none of my business.” Lan Ling smiled and thought about it, and then left with the signed document.
Wang Weixi was restless in the office. Last night, because of the provocation of Tong Siqi, he felt very angry. When he got home, he didn’t see Chen Kexin. Everything made him lost his calmness and broke the mobile phone so that there was no way.
Although he was unlike the others, Wang Weixi still cared about what happened last night, and he was not going to the hotel of Tong Siqi to find her. She said that she was so tired today that she would not come to the company. In Wang Weixi’s view, it was obvious that she was deliberate. What she did was making company’s stuff misunderstand Yi Duanfang more, and if he went her room, there would be more gossip.
After cleaning up, he went out. “I had to buy a mobile phone,” he thought.
Chen Kexin, who didn’t know all of this, was still sleeping on Chen Keren’s bed. She didn’t sleep until two o’clock last night, and then she cried for a while. Finally, it seemed that she was really tired when she fell asleep.
Chen Keren still did not go to work today. Early in the morning, she drove to the hotel where Tong Siqi was located and found Tong Siqi. Then she was logically fooled by Tong Siqi.
At this time, she was lazily sitting on the sofa in the villa hall, drinking a bottle of whiskey alone.
Tong Siqi said that Yi Duanfang was with her last night. Chen Keren did not believe it. So she went to the company to find Yi Duanfang. She didn’t know why, but she was so angry that she broke into the company.
Then she heard those gossips.
Although, Yi Duanfang left at midnight.
However, it didn’t explain anything. Chen Keren knew that he had been with Tong Siqi in the recent period. She also knew that, except for Tong Siqi, he was unwilling to care for others.
Knowing this was enough for Chen Keren.
At the end of November, the West Wind did not stop at noon, but it swept the land even harder.
The temperature in winter always dropped very fast. Although the sun was warm, it was unable to counter the whistling of the cold wind.
“How do you drink in the morning?” Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Chen Kexin stood on the stairs and looked at Chen Keren.
Chen Keren turned her face and chuckled, “Wake up? Sleep well?”
Chen Kexin nodded and said, “Well, but my eyes are swollen, and it hurts a little.”
“Go to wash, I let them cook lunch.” Chen Keren turned her face, and then lifted the glass and continued to drink.
Chen Kexin asked with some concern, “What happened?”
Chen Keren shook her head and said, “Nothing. Just want to drink.”
“Drinking in the morning is not good for your health.” Chen Kexin continued.
Chen Keren did not look back, but said faintly, “It’s okay, I feel comfortable when drinking.”
Chen Kexin stood there, shook her head helplessly, and then left.
Back in the room, she pulled out the phone under the pillow and found no message. She sat down with some disappointment.
She wanted to call Wang Weixi, but she didn’t know what to say.
Lying in bed, thinking about it, turning over and over, she felt her head spinning, until the sound of her stomach grumbling came, she remembered that she should get up.
Going to the bathroom, she washed her face. After changing clothes, she went downstairs.
“Perfect timing, the food is ready, come on.” Chen Keren sat at the table, and several maids placed hot meals on the table.
Chen Kexin put her eyes on the coffee table, which there were a bottle of empty red wine and an empty glass.
She went to the table and stared at Chen Keren, who cheek was scarlet for drinking a bottle of red wine at this time, and asked, “Do you often drink like this?”
Chen Keren chuckled, “Sometimes, don’t worry, come to have lunch.”
Chen Kexin nodded and said, “Okay.” When she went to the table and sat down, she suddenly asked, “Well, have you been contact with Duanfang? I called him, but his phone was power off.”
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but think of things last night, and she was a little worried.
Chen Keren’s face fell at the moment she heard the name of Yi Duanfang.
Chen Kexin looked at her strangely and asked, “What happened? Why your face looks so bad?”
Chen Keren managed a weak smile, “Nothing, even if something happens, it is a good thing. At least the man who stayed at Tong Siqi’s room was not brother-in-law last night.”
Hearing this, Chen Kexin unexpectedly looked at Chen Keren. It turned out that she did not think that Chen Keren could guess her thoughts. At the moment, she was embarrassed to bow her head, but she still felt something wrong. After a few seconds, she finally reacted. Looking at Chen Keren, and she was very surprised and asked, “You mean, last night, Duanfang stayed …” The voice gradually went down, and Chen Keren’s face darkened. Chen Kexin bit her teeth, and her heart was uncomfortable.
She didn’t think that things would develop to this step. “Didn’t Tong Siqi like Weixi?” She thought about, “Did… Duanfang likes Tong Siqi?”
Thinking of this, she immediately shook her head, “Impossible, Duanfang said that he hated Tong Siqi.”
“Don’t think about it anymore, they are just irrelevant person. We should care our own life.” Chen Keren said while eating vegetables and pretending to be nothing.
Chen Kexin didn’t say anything, she could not get in touch with Wang Weixi, Yi Duanfang either. She was suddenly very scared as if this connection suddenly broke.
“Here, have more.” Chen Keren said to Chen Kexin, adding food for her.
Chen Kexin nodded and picked a piece of meat and put it in Chen Keren’s bowl, “So do you, eat more.”
Chen Keren nodded and kept silent.
So there was a strange silence at the table.
“Let’s go to see our mother in the afternoon.” Suddenly, Chen Keren said.
Chen Kexin nodded, remembering she had always asked Wang Weixi to go to see her mother. Until now, he had no time to go with her, would there be a chance to go together in the future?
Thinking of this, a wry smile played across her mouth.
After lunch, she sat in the hall and Chen Keren cleared something up and left with her.
Before Chen Kexin left, she found that she did not bring her mobile phone. After thinking about it, it seemed that there was unnecessary to bring the phone, so she didn’t return.
They soon came to the grave of their mother, Ni Ya.
The aunt who guarded the grave looked at them very surprised, because this was the first time they came here together at the same time, and suddenly there was a mixed feeling.
“Two ladies, you finally come together. Your mother must be very happy,” she said with tears.
Chen Kexin and Chen Keren smiled at each other. When they came here, their moods were always calm. She still remembered the last time she came here was telling her mother the news she was going to marry. At that time, Wang Weixi also came with her. It was unknown that the chrysanthemums at that time had already drooped in the mud.
“Aunt, what’s wrong with you?” “Mom will be happy. Why are you crying? If you still cry, Keren and I will be overwhelmed.” Chen Kexin took the aunt’s arm and said playfully.
Auntie nodded quickly and said, “Don’t cry, I don’t cry. Hey… I am getting old, when I saw you, I can’t help but want to cry. For so many years, it is very tough for you.” Speaking here, she couldn’t help but wipe tears.
Chen Kexin comforted her for a moment and went to the stone steps with Chen Keren.
Standing in front of Ni Ya’s grave, they had a tacit understanding and did not speak.
About Ni Ya, they had too many identical memories, also because of Ni Ya, they had lost too much of what they should have, and they had carried too many emotions that they should not have.
Standing in front of the grave for a long time, two bunches of white chrysanthemum swayed with the wind, the flowers around the mausoleum had gradually withered. As the wind blew, the countless red swaying, in stark contrast with this lonely surrounding environment.
Chen Kexin and Chen Keren stepped on the land of flowers and left.
In the car, Chen Kexin asked, “Keren, what did you say to mother?”
Chen Keren said over driving, “Nothing special, just to take back the words I said last time.”
Chen Kexin nodded.
“How about you?”
“I told mother that I hope she can protect us from men’s hurt.”
