Autumn water is long

Chapter 19

It happened that when Lu Ting was going out, Ouyang Rong appeared outside Nanfei Real Estate in a black Porsche.

Qiu Yibei investigated Lu Ting and brought a few people around him. When he sent Lu Ting away and walked back, he lamented that there were dragons and crouching tigers around Lu Ting, and at the same time admired Lu Ting's ability to appoint talents.Ouyang Rong's talent to be a secretary is inferior, but his personality is the best choice to be the secretary next to Lu Ting so that his ability will not be wasted.

"I have something to talk to you about." Just passing by Yan Yan's work station, Yan Yan suddenly stood up and said to Qiu Yibei.

Although the two are partners, Yan Yan usually respects Qiu Yibei, so it is abnormal to order directly regardless of the previous relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Qiu Yibei noticed that Yan Yan's cold and stern expression was a little loose all year round, so she couldn't help but slow down and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

The brown tear mole hidden behind the gold-rimmed glasses unexpectedly became fragile at this moment, and the glasses slowly slid down the bridge of Yan Yan's nose.

"Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you."

"Exactly, I have something to ask for your help." Qiu Yibei patted Yan Yan's shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Until the two got into the car, Qiu Yibei didn't say what was going on, Yan Yan couldn't help asking: "What do you want me to do?"

"Talking while walking." Qiu Yibei started the car and drove to the suburbs.

The red Bentley gradually left the city, the scenery along the way changed from high-rise buildings to paddy fields, and the air became fresh and comfortable.

Seeing that Yan Yan's expression gradually relaxed, Qiu Yibei took the opportunity to ask, "You want to talk to me about Lu Ting?"

Yan Yan was stunned and said, "How...how did you guess that?"

Qiu Yibei: "From the first time you saw him, the two of you are not quite right. Did you know each other before?"

"...Why do you ask that?" Yan Yan dodged her eyes.

"Although I promised you not to mention that time, but both of you are from..."

"Brother!" Yan Yan interrupted Qiu Yibei suddenly.

The long-lost "brother" stopped Qiu Yibei's next words.

In the space where she only gets along with Qiu Yibei, Yan Yan completely let go of that strong woman's appearance, "You said everything, never mention that time again, you promised me."

"...Okay, then go to my business first." Qiu Yibei turned the steering wheel fiercely, turned around and drove back to the city center.

Soon, the two came to a real estate center in the second phase of the Liang family project last year.

"You want to buy a house?" Yan Yan asked after getting out of the car.

Qiu Yibei didn't answer Yan Yan immediately, but went straight into the sales center.

He declined the real estate salesman who offered to introduce him, and called the lobby manager who knew him.

"Mr. Qiu, why did you come here suddenly? Are you looking at the house?"

Qiu Yibei called Yan Yan to stand beside him, "This is the vice president of our company, Yan Yan. I want to choose a relatively secluded property in a good location. If you have any related matters, you can directly contact my vice president. Yes, she can make decisions for me."

Lobby Manager: "Okay, no problem, Mr. Yan, let's leave some contact information for each other."

Although Yan Yan was puzzled, her professionalism allowed her to quickly complete the negotiation with the lobby manager.

The lobby manager politely exited the venue, leaving Qiu Yibei the space to choose and inspect the house alone.

"This is...you and Lu Ting's new house?"

"En." Qiu Yibei took the bank card that Lu Ting gave him again at some point and rubbed it.

His warm hands carefully brushed the lines on the bank card, but the expression on his face made Yan Yan suddenly startled, because it was the warmth that Qiu Yibei hadn't shown since ten years ago.

Qiu Yibei recalled the scene of Lu Ting leaning on the car window and saying the password, and the smell that was blown by the wind at that time, which belonged exclusively to Lu Ting.

He realized that he had been absent-minded for a long time, put away the bank card, did not put it back into the wallet, but put it in the inner pocket of the suit close to his chest, took out another card from the wallet, and handed it to Yan Yan.

"In Pingyu City, only Liang's project is enough to make people feel at ease. You girls are careful, and I can trust your vision. I only have one request, the location should be good, and the environment should be relatively secluded. You can look at the rest. I found that Lu Ting's preferred style is somewhat similar to yours."

Yan Yan noticed every detail of Qiu Yibei's movements just now, including how the muscles driven by every nerve on Qiu Yibei's face spelled out such a gentle smile, everything was under her eyes.

She held the bank card in her hand, bowed her head and looked at it quietly.

Qiu Yibei continued: "You don't need to consider the cost, you can use this card for all the expenses of the house, if it's not enough, ask me for it."

"You're serious."

"what?"

Yan Yan raised her head, and put a cold expression on her face again in her ability: "You are serious about him."

For the first time, Qiu Yibei was bewildered by Yan Yan's questioning, "I..."

"The play is going on, and you believe it yourself. Or are you really stuck in it? Don't forget... who did they die for?"

Qiu Yibei hesitated and said: "He is not the person who directly caused all this, maybe we shouldn't take revenge in the first place..."

"How innocent are you, and how innocent am I?" Yan Yan snapped, "We haven't found someone like Lu Ting until now... How did a person who came from that kind of place get into the Lu family? Lu Zhengting set fire to the orphanage for him, and resorted to various methods to cover up his real life experience. Is he really as harmless as he appears?"

Qiu Yibei looked at Yan Yan, who was expressionless at the moment and cruelly spit out the pros and cons one by one, and felt very strange.

Her businesslike appearance is undeniable, as if she is the one who has been standing on a high place with a mission, and is responsible for waking Qiu Yibei up with cold water all the time, calling him back to the cold reality.

"Whether he is really as harmless as he appears on the surface, I don't know, but you also came from that place, should I also wear colored glasses to see you?" Qiu Yibei looked directly at Yan Yan and said coldly.

Yan Yan was not afraid, and looked back: "At the most vigorous age, you were thrown into prison for five years on trumped-up charges. You said it yourself, and you survived those five years by hating the Lu family. , You also said that you will not be soft-hearted, because soft-heartedness is the beginning of your eternal doom."

Qiu Yibei took a deep breath.

"Okay," he said in a deep voice, "you don't need to say any more."

Five years of prison life was far less boring and comfortable than what the outside world thought.Only those who have personally experienced it can understand the darkness and terror inside.

There is a scar on the back of the head that is as long as the little finger, and the scar that can no longer grow hair is hidden under the thick hair, and at this moment it starts to scream and ache.

Qiu Yibei couldn't deny that he had indeed lost his composure.

Reason told him that he should not continue to lose control like today.

He spent five years in prison, and five years of dormancy after he was released from prison.

How many decades of life can be wasted by others?For ten whole years, he lived in the shadows.

But during this short period of time, whenever he faced Lu Ting, he often forgot why he came to Pingyu City in the first place, and why he found Lu Ting.

What Yan Yan said was right, a soft heart was indeed the beginning of eternal doom, but Qiu Yibei repeatedly questioned herself in her heart.

What he is doing now is really just—has his heart softened?
