"What's bread here?" Tai Ziqian asked me in surprise, "It piqued my curiosity. Can I open it and take a look?"
I wanted to say no, but then I thought, Why not?
There was something in this package that I didn't want to see but couldn't help looking at. Since I didn't want to open it myself, why not let Tai Ziqian open it for me so that I could know what was inside and avoid the memories of Sheng Yun contained within it, which would create a psychological shadow and a subconscious contrast.
"Okay," I said to him, smiling as I set the coffee down beside him. "Just read it and tell me what's in it."
Tai Ziqian pushed the coffee to the side and opened the package. On the package, there was a stack of letters that looked very old, probably from the correspondence between them back in the day, and underneath it was a small wooden box. It looked very old, and it was tightly sealed, so Tai Ziqian didn't know what was inside.
"Do you want to read these letters?" Tai Ziqian picked up those letters and read them. Then, he casually picked up a letter and read the contents inside. Then, he frowned and said, "If you look at it from a man's point of view, I think it's better that you don't read it. All of these things belong to the past, so you should just forget about the matter of Chen Zhi Ma's rotten seeds. It might not taste good to drink it, but it will instead add to the blockage in your heart, don't you think? "
"Well, that's what I thought, so I wasn't going to look at it. But there are some things about her that make me suspicious, so I'm more curious about what's in this wooden box. " "No," I said.
Tai Ziqian looked at the wooden box and smelled it. His expression immediately changed. He quickly put the wooden box into the bag and then took it out of the gate and put it on the stone table in the yard.
"What is it?" Noticing that his face was extremely unsightly, he hurriedly asked.
"Fortunately, you called me over today. Otherwise, you might have lost your life today. If you don't, your face would have been ruined." Tai Ziqian said while covering his chest, "Who is so vicious? How dare you give this to me in broad daylight? "
"What is inside?" I asked, suddenly aware of the severity of the matter.
"It's filled with a corrosive gas. I forgot the name, but I'm very familiar with that smell. My teacher once told me about it in chemistry class." Tai Ziqian said slowly, "Once this box is opened, the gas inside will be released. If you are close to it, not only will your face be corroded, but it will also be very likely to be sucked in, causing a fatal injury. However, the amount inside was very little, and it would quickly be diluted by the air. Others might not even know what happened inside, and even they themselves did not know what happened. Once it was opened, the gas inside would quickly disappear, and the victim would only be the person who opened it. This person had a heart full of viciousness. I suppose she must have said a lot, giving you an urge to open it, didn't she? "
My heart sank. I didn't expect Xiaoyun to do this. If I didn't run into Tai Ziqian today, I might really want to open it when I get home. If everything is as Tai Ziqian said, then my face... I can't imagine it.
"This Xiaoyun is too unfathomable. No matter how I think about it, I never thought that she would be so vicious right from the start. I couldn't help but shake my head. When I thought about that seemingly dull face again, I couldn't help but feel my appetite rise.
"Don't meet this person again in the future. This person's thoughts are too deep, and his knowledge is also very broad. "If it wasn't for the fact that I have majored in chemistry before, I wouldn't be able to recognize this smell at all. Most people would think that it was the smell of the box itself." After Tai Ziqian said this, he held his chest, he probably didn't dare to imagine that something like this would happen.
"She was a nurse before, and she was in the United States for a few years. I heard she took a lot of courses in college instead of other people. This woman is too inconceivable! " A cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
"I will take this wooden box with me. I will pass it to my friend to open it with a professional method and see what is inside." Tai Ziqian said.
"Alright, but you have to be careful. If we hadn't been careful and fell to the ground, we would both be dead by now." I couldn't help but look gratefully at Tai Ziqian. Luckily, he followed me home, otherwise, this disaster would have been unavoidable.
Although I know that Sheng Yun is not superficial enough to only look at the face, but if this face of mine is scarred from then on, the final outcome will definitely be tampered with.
Xiaoyun must have thought that she had no chance and given it her all. This is her real purpose in meeting me!
Tai Ziqian nodded cautiously.
I suddenly remembered that he said that he had something he wanted to talk to me about, so I hurriedly asked, "Oh yeah, didn't you just say that you had something you wanted to talk to me about? "What is it?"
"Father promised to help you. Do you remember?" He turned his head and looked at me.
"Yes." I nodded.
Tai Feng did say that he would help me in the past, but after that, we didn't have much contact with each other, and the things that we would talk about at meetings were all insignificant topics. His elder's status coupled with his current status caused me to not dare to ask too many questions.
"Father has gradually retracted the Xu family's loan. The financial chain of the Xu family is getting tighter and tighter. Although on the surface it looks like they are expanding, the internal problems are already very serious." "Father told me to tell you, if you want to make a move against the Xu family, the time has come. It's just that …" Tai Ziqian suddenly stopped here.
"But what?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Sheng Yun has recently increased his cooperation with the Xu family. The tripartite project that you guys had previously discussed has now come to a successful end. But according to the company's current strategic deployment, Wu still intends to cooperate with the Xu family, and even more than before. What do you think? Do you know? " Tai Ziqian asked me.
I shook my head, and my heart sank.
"I'm in the company every day. I follow up on almost everything, but Sheng Yun didn't tell me about this. How did you know?" I asked solemnly.
"I am the treasurer, so of course I am clear about the flow of the company's funds. I don't know why Sheng Yun didn't tell you, nor why he made such a decision. If it was me, I would have to stop my cooperation with the Xu at all costs. But instead of doing anything, he increased his level of cooperation, which I don't understand. " Tai Ziqian looked at me and said, then patted my shoulder and said, "Sometimes, it's hard for a woman to be troubled by emotions, but it's not necessarily for a man. Rivers and mountains and beauties. Since ancient times, most men's choice was still a river and mountains. But can you let go of your hatred with the Xu? Think about it for yourself! "
"Alright, I understand." I forced a smile and immediately felt a huge shadow cast over my heart.
"I'll leave first with that thing. I'll tell you when there's news." Tai Ziqian told me before he carried his stuff out the door.
After Tai Ziqian left, I sat alone in the living room for a long time. Xiaoyun's words and Tai Ziqian's reminder made my originally resolute heart loosen a little.
I looked up at the portrait of my parents in the living room, and the scenes that had happened in this house came back to me again and again. Could I let go of the hatred? — Of course not, the hatred had supported me for more than twenty years, so how could I give up at this critical moment?
But Sheng Yun, why did he make such a decision? Why did he suddenly decide to increase his cooperation with the Xu? Why did he choose not to tell me? I was involved in every one of the company's decisions, but why didn't I know about this?
Is the trust between us really not as deep as I thought? Could it be that in Sheng Yun's heart, benefits far outweigh our feelings?
If he is not worthy of my trust, then where shall I go from now on? — A cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and since the time Sheng Yun asked me to board his boat and borrow his strength, I have followed every step after that, and if I am betrayed, it means I will be sent from heaven to hell.
Sheng Yun, will you let me down?
We already had children, and the day of our certificates was approaching, and our interests were becoming more and more bound together, for his strength had led to my step by step compromise and attachment, my success or failure, and the future depended on his love and responsibility for me.
This... Not what I wanted.
I sat on the sofa until midnight, staring at the images of my father and mother, thinking hard.
His mother had followed him all the way back to when his father was at his lowest. His father had given her the best love when she was poor, and even after becoming rich, he had still kept his promise … Sheng Yun, if it's a man like father, I don't have to worry about anything. But what if it wasn't?
That night, I didn't go back to Sheng Yun's place. I kept my phone off to the side, but it didn't ring.
Tianyiliang, I went to the company in a panic. When I opened the office door, he was still sitting at his desk, frowning over some papers.
"Where did you go last night?" He looked up at me with an aggressive look. Then, he suddenly said something profound. "You and Ziqian are quite close."
