Chapter 44 Vol. 2

    The Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a day for family reunion, but this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Xia was very unhappy because neither her son nor grandson could go home to spend the festival with her.

    Before dinner, the old lady Xia complained to Xia Liang in the WeChat video: "You said that you, father and son, are not at home, are you trying to make me angry? Or Xiaolin, knowing to bring the Song family back. Spend the holidays with my old lady."

    Xia Liang laughed at the old man, and subconsciously covered her belly.

    He has been eating well in the past few months, and his belly has grown a bit bigger. Fortunately, he can't see any clues just by looking at his face, so he only dares to show his head in the video.

    "It's not a business trip, there is no way," Xia Liang lied unchangingly, "When the few projects at hand are over, I will go home immediately to accompany you."

    "You will always have something to do. Project!" Old Mrs. Xia didn't eat his set, "I haven't seen you for several months, so you can count on when you can do it."

    "Well..." Xia Liang guessed it. Forget it, and said with a guilty conscience, "Maybe we have to wait another two or three months."

    Then he quickly turned off the topic: "By the way, Dad, why is he not at home?"

    "He, he answered the phone two days ago. , Said that there was something wrong with the branch in the United States, so he hurriedly went abroad."

    Xia Liang's expression condensed: "What's the problem, why didn't you hear Dad mention it to me?"

    "Maybe it's not a big problem, right? "The old lady Xia said, "The last time I called him, he kept saying that it was all right, and he said that he would be back in a few days."

    "Oh." Xia Liang knew that Mrs. Xia had trouble with business. I don't have much interest in the matter, and I don't know much about it. I didn't ask any more at the moment, but secretly became interested in this matter.

    After the video call ended, he immediately called Father Xia.

    When Xia's father answered the call, he seemed to be busy explaining something to the people around him, a little absent-minded: "Xiao Liang, why would you call me?"

    Xia Liang said: "Dad, happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

    "Oh...oh," Father Xia was taken aback, and then he realized, "Yes, yes, today you spent the Mid-Autumn Festival, I almost forgot."

    "Dad, I listened. Grandma said that there was a problem with the branch in the United States, shouldn't it matter?"

    Father Xia pondered for a moment and sighed: "Xiao Liang, your grandma is not here, I won't hide it from you. Actually...the situation is not very optimistic."

    When Xia Liang walked out of the study, she felt a little heavy. But there are still guests at home, so he can't put all his concerns on his face.

    At this time, Du Lanze and Wen Ping were sitting in the living room, tasting the moon cakes made by Zhou Shuo, and they were full of praise for Zhou Shuo's craftsmanship.

    "Let me say that Zhou Shuo's cooking skills are definitely one of the best in Alpha." Du Lanze said.

    Wen Ping smiled and echoed: "I agree with this point. Alpha, who is gentle and considerate and has its own cooking skills like Zhou Shuo, really hopes to give me a dozen."

    Zhou Shuo was embarrassed and stood aside. I just laughed. Seeing Xia Liang walked out, he handed him a freshly baked mooncake like a treasure: "Brother Liang, try it. It’s the first time I made mooncakes. I don’t know if they are good or not, but they They all say they taste good." After

    Xia Liang finished a mooncake, he commented concisely: "Slightly sweet."

    Zhou Shuo immediately corrected it: "Then I will put a little less sugar next time."

    "Oh, I shouldn't pick it." "Come here today," Du Lanze exaggeratedly covered his eyes, "This dog food... is almost choking me." On the

    contrary, Wen Ping was more careful, seeing that Xia Liang seemed to have something in his heart, so he made an excuse. , Took Du Lanze farewell.

    After sending the two away, Xia Liang had no intention of concealing it, and turned to Zhou Shuo and said, "Zhou Shuo, I hope you can take a trip to America for me."

    Zhou Shuo was startled: "What's wrong?"

    "Several branches in the United States were designed by someone, and they were in debt overnight. Dad has already rushed to the United States to deal with it, but the current situation... is really not optimistic. I am worried that he will get tired and get sick when he gets older. Come, I originally had to go there in person, but now I can’t show up for many things in person, so..."

    "I know," Zhou Shuo said before he finished, "Brother Liang, don't worry, tomorrow I'll leave. Just rest at home and leave the rest to me."

    Xia Liang is getting heavier recently. He started to fall asleep just after nine o'clock in the evening, but this night, with the branch office in his mind, he tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time.

    He listened to the sound of Zhou Shuo pacing back and forth outside the door, the sound of telephone calls, the sound of packing luggage, until finally fell into silence.

    The quieter he was, the more bored he was. He couldn't help it, so he got out of bed in his pajamas, and when he opened the bedroom door, he saw Zhou Shuo sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, holding a laptop in his hand. , Is looking at something intently with his head down.

    Hearing the noise, Zhou Shuo raised his head and stared at Xia Liang. After a moment of surprise, he asked: "Brother Liang, why have

    n't you fallen asleep?" " Ca n't sleep." Xia Liang replied lightly and walked to Zhou Shuo's side. Sit down and ask, "What are you looking at?

    "I'm checking what the Ne|son family has been doing in recent months. "

    Cool in summer and looked at him somewhat surprised:" What a coincidence, do you want to come with me to go. "

    Zhou Shuo seemed to be encouraged, and his spirits lifted a little bit: "Do you also suspect Ying Mohua's ghost?" "

    There is no conclusive evidence, just an intuition." "Xia Liang said, "If the other party did it..."

    Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand and shook Xia Liang's somewhat cold fingers: "Don't be afraid, Brother Liang, the soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth one by one. This is what you taught me, as long as If the other party has a plan, he will definitely show his feet. "

    Under the dim light, Xia Liang looked at Zhou Shuo quietly for a long time.

    It was only at this moment that he was suddenly shocked. The boy who he had been looking at growing up was sharp and angular, with firm eyebrows, and already looked like a mature man.
