There is a newly opened cafe opposite the company. My colleagues discussed the past two days that their coffee is rich in flavor and the decoration is very warm, making it a good place to relax.

But this was the first time Li Zhiyue came here. She picked a seat close to the door and sat down. The man who came in with her sat opposite her, and then spoke to the waiter loudly, "Give me the most expensive cup."

Li Zhiyue said in a soft voice: "Latte, thank you."

The man stared at Li Zhiyue opposite him, and waited until the waiter walked away before he sang: "Sister, it's been a long time since I saw you, and you're doing well."

Li Zhiyue didn't respond, but just looked at him coldly. The person in front of her was her cousin Lin Jie whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Lin Jie is tall, with a tiger-back and bear-back. He leans on the chair and feels like the chair is about to be collapsed anytime and anywhere. His rough fingers are constantly playing with the small objects placed on the table.

He didn't speak, but his eyes didn't let Li Zhiyue go any of the small moves.

The cafe is playing soothing light music. Now this is the time to fall asleep. There are still many people sitting in the cafe. After waiting for a while, the waiter brought the coffee they ordered.

Lin Jie looked at the exquisite coffee cup in front of him and muttered, "Such a small cup."

Then he pinched the thin handle of the cup and took a big sip.

The bitter taste of coffee spread in the mouth, and Lin Jie wanted to vomit it out in an instant, but because of the large number of people, he forced himself to swallow it.

He frowned and whispered: "Why is it so bad?"

This sentence was like opening his chatterbox switch. He said, "Sister, you haven't contacted us for so many years. If I hadn't passed by a few days ago and saw you enter the Shen family's gate, I wouldn't have known you were here."

"Now you have a promising future, so you won't call your family. Your aunt is worried about you."

"Or you have become successful and look down on us poor relatives?

I called you a few days ago, why did you hang up?"

Lin Jie said one by one, and his voice was not loud, which made the people around him hear it.

Several of them couldn't help but look at their position, wanting to see what the drama was.

From sitting down to now, Lin Jie has been talking about it one-sidedly. Li Zhiyue sat in a cold expression. When he felt it was boring, he stopped and said, "Are you finished talking?"

Lin Jie looked at her look and felt angry, but before he could say the most important thing, he could hold back again when he thought of this, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, we brother and sister have not seen each other for so long, so why do we have to reminisce about the past?"

“Not available.”

Li Zhiyue was impatient and disdainful of disguise.

She hated Lin Jie and all her hypocritical relatives, so when she left, she cut off all her family relationship without hesitation.

Lin Jie didn't expect Li Zhiyue to be so straightforward, and her face suddenly collapsed. She was brewing for a while before saying, "Since you are busy, I'll just say that you're doing the business and give me 50,000."

Lin Jie has been making this idea since he accidentally saw Li Zhiyue a few days ago. When he ran into Li Zhiyue, he went back to check her company, a large enterprise, and everyone's salary is basically starting from tens of thousands.

Although this cheap cousin hasn't seen her for almost eleven or two years, her parents died back then, and her family helped her. He asked for 50,000 yuan, which is probably one or two months' salary. Compared with the ones who helped her back then, it was nothing.

He wanted this money very comfortably.

Li Zhiyue laughed angry when she heard this. She didn't know where Lin Jie was so handsome to ask for the 50,000 yuan. She refused in a deep voice: "No."

Lin Jie said coldly: "I'm not a three-year-old child. You haven't even had 50,000 yuan for so many years?

I didn't ask for much, either. Isn't such a small amount of money just a small amount for you?"

He actually found out that the year-end bonuses issued by this large company are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Judging from Li Zhiyue's dress, how could she not have such a little money?

Li Zhiyue knew what he was thinking at a glance. She regretted following him and should have asked the bodyguard to invite him out just now.

At this time, the latte in front of him was not intent to taste, so Li Zhiyue raised her hand and signaled the waiter to come over.

The waiter came over quickly and asked sweetly, "Hello, what can I do to help you?"

“Pay.”

The waiter took out the payment code from the apron in front of him. Li Zhiyue paid the money and looked at Lin Jie again. She said, "I said when I left that I have nothing to do with you."

Lin Jie's face turned pale, and Li Zhiyue was not interested in continuing to deal with him, so she got up and walked out the door.

Lin Jie unexpectedly did not follow up, but just whispered after Li Zhiyue left the door: "Stupid bitch."

On the second floor, Han Yang, who happened to witness all this, touched his chin thoughtfully. He was about to pick up his phone and take a picture of the man below, but found that his phone was in the private room. He had to look at the other party carefully again, but found that the man had finished drinking the remaining coffee in one gulp and got up and left.

Han Yang returned to the private room. The second floor of the cafe was a small Qing bar. Their people originally made an appointment at the "Flying Night" that they often went to, but Shen Xingqian didn't know what was going on, so everyone changed to the downstairs of his company and the newly opened Qing bar. They booked a private room and played Landlords boredly inside.

He pushed open the door of the private room, Shen Xingqian and Wang Dafei collapsed on the sofa, lowered their heads and played with their cell phones tacitly.

With cards and wine bottles on the table, Han Yang walked over and sat next to Shen Xingqian, crossed his legs and said, "What did I just see?"

Shen Xingqian glanced at him slantedly, but Wang Dafei next to him said, "Fortunately, you are back. Shen Da and I were discussing whether to go to the toilet to catch you."

"screw you."

Han Yang cursed again, but he didn't keep it a secret. He said, "Isn't this a cafe downstairs?"

When I came back, I saw Li Zhiyue and a man below. The man didn't look like a good man. Shen Da, my sister won't meet any difficult people, right?"

"Shut up, who made you call me so intimately?"

Even if Shen Xingqian drank some wine, he did not forget Li Zhiyue's "crime" at noon.

Han Yang rolled his eyes: "Can you not be so stingy? Sister Zhiyue must have her own arrangements. But that man is not a good person at first glance, and he is fierce. You should pay more attention."

Shen Xingqian still didn't react much, but pressed the power button of the phone and the screen of the phone went out.

Han Yang raised his eyebrows and waited for Shen Xingqian to speak, but unexpectedly, Shen Xingqian just shouted coldly: "It's all my business."

Then he stood up and said, "Go back, you guys will part with you."

After saying that, he walked outside with his hands in his pockets. Wang Dafei was just looking at his favorite female idol Weibo. When he saw Shen Xingqian leaving, he asked strangely: "What are the conflicts between Shen Da and Sister Zhiyue?"

Shen Xingqian, Han Yang and Wang Dafei, the three of them grew up wearing pairs of pants. Naturally, he also knew Li Zhiyue. He continued: "Sister Zhiyue is not very good."

Han Yang tsk: "Shen Da is so stubborn, he is stubborn. He will definitely go to find Li Zhiyue when he goes back now."

Wang Dafei thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Li Zhiyue drove home, closed the door, changed into home shoes, then carried her bag into the living room.

She sat on the sofa, leaned back, leaned against the sofa, staring at the white ceiling, and was stunned. She didn't do it today, but she felt a deep sense of fatigue since she met Lin Jie.

When she saw Lin Jie, she remembered a lot of things from the past on the way back. She originally thought that she would subconsciously seal the memories in her memory, but she didn't expect that after just meeting, those memories came to her like a rush of mountains and rivers.

She felt a little hurt in her head.

I raised my hand and placed it in my temple. I was about to press it, but the phone in my bag suddenly rang.

Li Zhiyue struggled to get up, zippered the bag on the coffee table, and took out the phone from it.

The caller ID was a strange number. Li Zhiyue stared at the territory and hung up the phone, but the other party quickly called again.

Li Zhiyue was silent for a moment, but she still frowned and answered.

There seemed to be no expectation that Li Zhiyue would answer the call. After a while, the other side asked tentatively: "Is it Zhiyue?"

The woman spoke with a local accent, and she said again: "Zhiyue, I am an aunt."

Li Zhiyue nodded and signaled that she knew.

After responding, the woman Qiqiai Ai said, "I didn't expect your phone number to be connected. Xiaojie just called me and told me that she had seen you, so I wanted to ask."

"Did your brother ask you for money?

Zhiyue, your brother is actually for me. I’m sick recently, don’t be angry with him..."

"Would you like to go back to your aunt's house when you have time?

We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and my aunt misses you very much."

After the woman said something, she saw that Li Zhiyue didn't say anything, and she shouted carefully: "Zhiyue?"

Only then did Li Zhiyue react and she said, "I will dismiss this phone number. Don't come to me in the future. We have nothing to do with it."

"You kid, are you still angry?

It’s been more than ten years since you have grown up, and you must understand how difficult it is for your aunt back then. If it weren’t for our family, you would have been sent to an orphanage or wandered on the streets.”

Li Zhiyue thought about those four years and thought to herself that it would be better to go to an orphanage or wander.

Seeing that the woman wanted to say something, she said coldly: "I'm dead."

After hanging up the phone neatly, the world became pure.

In one day, she saw someone she didn't want to see and received a call she didn't want to answer. Li Zhiyue felt so upset that she straightened up and opened the drawer of the coffee table. There was a pack of women's cigarettes that had not been opened. She reached out and took it out, tore the transparent film, took out one, held it in her mouth, and picked up the lighter next to the ashtray.

With a crisp sound, the flames lit the cigarette.

The smoke slowly rose up, and Li Zhiyue calmed down.

Her slender fingers held the cigarette, leaned back on the sofa, smoking with her eyes closed.

Just as she was smoking and calming down, the doorbell of her home was ringing. Li Zhiyue opened her eyes and looked at the door. The outsider seemed to be very impatient. After ringing the doorbell a few times, she saw that no one was coming to open, and then slapped the door.

Li Zhiyue stood up and walked to the entrance. Just as she was about to see who was coming from the cat's eyes, she heard people outside calling her name.

Although the sound coming through the door was very dull, Li Zhiyue could still hear who was outside the door.

Shen Xingqian is here.

What is Shen Xingqian doing?

Li Zhiyue opened the door, and Shen Xingqian was about to drop his knocking hand. When he saw Li Zhiyue appearing in front of him, he stopped again.

He was about to speak, but he smelled the strong smell of smoke in the air.

His eyes were down and he happened to see the burning cigarette at Li Zhiyue's fingertips.
