28 - Her marriage certificate with Rong Qi.

The afterglow in the sky is gone, dusk is falling, neon lights are everywhere, and the whole city is like a layer of ink painting paper, covered with layers of colors.

In the community, the light coming from every window is a different color.

Cheng Li changed into a pair of shoes and hurried downstairs.

When she saw Rong Qi, she glanced at his hand and asked with a smile: "Where is your wine?"

His hands were empty and he had wine.

"Go to my house to drink," Rong Qi pointed towards the direction of the bungalow and raised his chin slightly.

Cheng Li was a little stunned.

Rong Qi: "My grandparents have returned to Wuxi. Grandma has just recovered from a serious illness and misses home. I asked the driver to take them back to stay for two days."

The old man always misses his hometown.

The two returned to the small bungalow, and sure enough, the house was empty.

Even the nanny followed the two old people back to their hometown.

In Shanghai at the end of October, it has already cooled down, and the night breeze blows in the air, bringing a coolness.

The night is as cool as water, but it smells a bit like that.

Cheng Li watched Rong Qi take out foreign wine and red wine from the wine cabinet.

He asked: "What do you want to drink?"

Seeing her hesitation, Rong Qi smiled lightly: "Cocktail?"

"Can you make it?" Cheng Li asked in surprise.

Rong Qi shook his head: "I haven't done it, but I can try it."

"But I don't have the tools at home." Cheng Li has also been to a bar and knows that the bartender has a set of complicated and gorgeous bartending equipment.

Rong Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Keep everything simple."

Soon, he took out a bottle of orange juice and a bottle of red liquid from the refrigerator.

Cheng Li took a closer look at the pomegranate syrup.

Rong Qi found a sealed bottle, poured the tequila into it, added ice cubes and orange juice, raised it up and shook it with both hands, and the ice cubes made a clanking sound in the bottle.

Cheng Li stared at the bottle closely.

Until Rong Qi asked: "What look?"

"I was thinking, if you shake the bottle to pieces, should I hide or not?" Cheng Li said seriously.

Rong Qi raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you hide?"

Cheng Li said helplessly: "Because you definitely can't hide. It would be bad if I hide alone."

Rong Qi: "..."

"You can hide," Rong Qi said Qi slammed the bottle onto the marble countertop.

Cheng Li laughed: "That's not possible. We have to share the blessings and the hardships together."

"It's OK to enjoy the blessings together," Rong Qi raised his eyelids slightly, and his voice was a little less serious, " Let's just let it go."

Hearing his joke, Cheng Li laughed.

Afterwards, Cheng Li sat on a chair, holding her chin with one hand and watching his movements.

Although Rong Qi is not a professional bartender, he seems to be born with a top-notch learning ability, and he seems to be very good at everything he does.

Cheng Li said with emotion: "Is there anything in this world that you can't do?"

Whether it's from high school or now.

He seems to always be so at ease.

Unexpectedly, Rong Qi was serious. He raised his head slightly, angled his head slightly, and looked thoughtful. After a moment, he said calmly, "Yes."

"What?" Cheng Li was curious.

Rong Qi glanced at her: "I haven't thought of it yet."

Ha.

hehe.

How could anyone say such shameless words without changing his face?

Just as she was complaining crazily in her heart, Rong Qi had already opened the sealed bottle, found a glass, poured the pomegranate juice into the bottom of the bottle, and then added ice cubes.

The red liquid spread at the bottom of the cup, as bright as blood.

Soon, the yellow liquid mixed with orange juice and agave from the sealed bottle was slowly poured into the cup.

At this time, there is still obvious layering of red and yellow.

Until Rong Qi found a silver ladle and gently lifted it, the liquid in the entire cup formed a gradient color from yellow to red.

The red and yellow create a nice gradient.

"Tequlia Sunrise." Rong Qi placed the cup in front of Cheng Li and whispered, "Sunrise."

Cheng Li raised the cup and took a sip.

The taste is sweet and sour, with a sweet aftertaste and a bit of spiciness from alcohol.

"This color is so beautiful," Cheng Li exclaimed.

Rong Qi said: "It's like the sunrise at dawn."

After that, Rong Qi moved the wine glasses to the small garden outside. There was a set of woven sofas in the garden, which were reserved for sitting during leisure time. At this time, it was just right for the two of them to sit. People use it to drink.

Cheng Li held her "sunrise" carefully.

"Okay, stop being busy." Seeing Rong Qi get up again, Cheng Li thought he was going to do something else.

Unexpectedly, Rong Qi just walked to the side and turned on a switch.

In an instant, the originally dark garden suddenly lit up.

She saw a row of small light bulbs hanging on the garden iron fence next to her. The warm yellow lights were like little stars falling in the garden, twinkling and shining.

"Wow," Cheng Li sat on the sofa and looked around in amazement.

When Rong Qi sat down next to her, she looked at the sparkling garden with a light in her eyes and a smile on her face.

"Now my wine and ears are ready." Rong Qi looked at her directly.

Cheng Li couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

She said: "Actually, it's nothing. You know, those elders always seem to like to compare everyone. My father is the second eldest child among the brothers and sisters in the family. You should also know that the eldest children all over the world are ignored.

"It turns out that I am the same." Although

she is an only child in her family, she is also the second child among her grandparents.

There is a pampered eldest grandson at the top, and a pampered little cousin at the bottom.

"When I grow up, I start comparing jobs and the partners I'm looking for."

At this point, Cheng Li shut up with a guilty conscience.

If she hadn't been too deviant because of the flash marriage, she wouldn't have dared to tell the truth to Teacher Ling and the others.

In fact, she doesn't have to worry about finding a son-in-law.

"Have you also been wronged?" Rong Qi looked at her and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Li thought for a moment and nodded: "The one that impressed me the most was probably that time. One summer vacation, my parents were very busy, so they put me at my grandma's house. Grandpa gave each of us fifty yuan that time. Let's go shopping. It turned out that I lost it halfway. It was a small thing at first. "

But my grandma told me not to be so careless when doing things." We went to the supermarket together and asked me to watch them eat. I remember how happy they all were, and I was so envious."

Perhaps to deliberately intimidate her, her cousin even threw the snacks into the trash can.

After that incident, Cheng Li no longer wanted to go to grandma's house.

Fortunately, although Ms. Ling was strict with her, she also doted on her.

She probably understood that she might have been wronged in some way at her grandma's house, and she was not allowed to go there again.

"Now that I think about it, it's not just because of the fifty yuan." Cheng Li frowned.

Even though this happened after so many years.

But whenever I think about it, I always find it inexplicably ridiculous.

When she grew up, Cheng Li realized that it was not because she was unlovable.

Simply because grandma doesn't like her mother.

I don't even like her.

Later, Cheng Li studied hard so that Ms. Ling could feel proud in this family.

Fortunately, Cheng Li's growth has been smooth sailing, and the only unhappiness probably came from here.

After she finished speaking, she put her hands on her knees and rested her chin on her arms.

The whole person folded into a small ball.

The long hair hanging behind her fell down like a waterfall, and the evening breeze blowing in the night gently blew by, like a pair of gentle hands lifting her hair.

In the wind, there is a vague fragrance.

She blinked her eyelashes, and her thick eyelashes flickered like a small fan.

It was clearly in her eyes, but it seemed to scratch his heart.

Rong Qi's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He didn't know whether it was the impulse of alcohol or the wonderful atmosphere. He gently raised his finger and slowly stretched it out.

When his palms covered her eyes, Cheng Li's heart skipped a beat.

Everything was dark.

But she felt like someone was approaching.

When she fell into a gentle embrace, everything around her seemed to be isolated, even the gentle evening breeze was blocked from their embrace.

Suddenly, there was that muffled sound in her ears, which she thought was her own heartbeat.

But listen carefully.

It was clear that the voice came from the person opposite.

Rong Qi, his heartbeat turns out to be beating so fast.

I don't know how long it took, but Cheng Li thought this hug would last forever.

Suddenly, a burst of cell phone ringing broke the atmosphere of the moment.

Cheng Li heard the familiar ringtone, it was hers.

The ringing continued for a long time.

When Cheng Li thought that Rong Qi would not let go of her, a low voice rang in her ear, "Answer the phone."

After he let go, Cheng Li lowered her head to find her phone.

After searching for a long time, a hand stretched out from the side, holding her mobile phone.

Cheng Li hurriedly took it and said in a low voice: "Thank you."

"Hello, Miss Cheng, do you have any needs to buy a house now? We have new houses with fine decoration here..."

Cheng Li glanced at the phone blankly. Seeing that she didn't hang up, the salesperson thought he had an opportunity and was talking about introducing their hot new product.

Until Rong Qi said calmly: "Sorry, we already have a wedding room."

Because he was sitting very close, he could clearly hear Cheng Li's voice on the phone.

As soon as he spoke, the person on the other side could hear him clearly.

When the other party heard this, he quickly said: "Sorry to bother you, I wish you a happy weekend."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Licai whispered: "Is real estate involved more powerful than our Internet?"

They Internet people, this point They are all already here drinking and talking...

etc.

Drinking, yes, having sex? ?

Cheng Li didn't expect that these two words would appear in her mind.

She put down the phone silently and put the back of her hand against her cheek.

It must have been the alcohol.

That's why her cheeks are so hot.

Seeing that the wine bottle in front of him was mostly empty, Cheng Li whispered, "How about I go back first? I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay." Rong Qi didn't hesitate and stood up directly.

His straightforward attitude made Cheng Li feel confused.

no.

Wasn't he the one who hugged her just now?

However, Cheng Li stood up obediently and the two of them walked out of the bungalow door together.

On the way to her house, Rong Qi suddenly said: "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he had already walked not far away.

Cheng Li stood quietly and watched him walk into the convenience store.

Oh, I'm going shopping.

Cheng Li leaned against the wall and took out her mobile phone, but she just checked it for a while and had no idea.

But this time, she waited a long time.

It took so long that she could hardly bear it anymore and was going to go directly to see what it was that was worth buying for so long.

Then, she looked at Rong Qi holding three large bags in his hands.

And it's the bag with the largest capacity in a convenience store.

He carried the bag, crossed the road, and walked towards her.

When Rong Qi stood in front of her again, Cheng Li looked down at the contents of the bag. They were all snacks sold in convenience stores. She blinked blankly and asked, "Have you gone to restock?" She

was ready to start a new business . , open a convenience store yourself?

"These are all the snacks you can buy in the convenience store," Rong Qi stared at her and whispered.

Cheng Li still looked confused.

"It's all yours, only for you," Rong Qi's tone was very soft, but every word he said was like a hammer in her heart: "You don't have to envy anyone."

Cheng Li looked at it blankly. When I pray with my face, my brain is like a short circuit.

I don't know what to say at all.

"Let's go home," Rong Qi picked up the bag again and walked directly in front of her.

Cheng Li followed him, and the street lights pulled their figures far away.

Regarding the matter of finding a son-in-law, Cheng Li thought that Ms. Ling was just talking casually.

Until this day, she finally came home from get off work normally.

However, she felt that she was doing pretty well. At least she could go home from work normally. Rong Qi just went to Shenzhen a few days ago and flew to Chengdu yesterday.

When the family of three sat down to eat, Ms. Ling suddenly said, "Cheng Li, Yunze has returned to China, did you know?"

"Who?" Cheng Li said deliberately.

Ling Shuanghua said: "He Yunze is the son of Director He. When we were in the first middle school, you were in the same class. You can be considered childhood sweethearts." Cheng Li said

speechlessly: "When I met him, we were already in junior high school. Forget it . What a childhood sweetheart."

Ms. Ling wanted to speak, but Cheng Li suddenly said, "Mom, you didn't annoy him the most before."

"Who said I annoy him? Don't talk nonsense," Ms. Ling objected flatly.

Cheng Li laughed: "When he came to see me back then, you hinted to me overtly and covertly not to talk to him."

Ms. Ling, who was exposed, became quite angry and said: "That's not because you were both young and old at the time. Xiao, I'm afraid you will go astray and embark on the path of puppy love. "

Come on.

Cheng Li was speechless.

But she felt deeply that there was a conspiracy behind Ms. Ling's inexplicable mention of He Yunze.

Smart people have learned to shut up at times like this.

Cheng Li ate quietly and didn't talk at all.

Ms. Ling was originally waiting for her to ask, "Why do you suddenly mention He Yunze?"

But Cheng Li didn't ask anything.

Cheng Dingbo, who was watching the game, picked up a chicken wing and put it into Ms. Ling's bowl: "You're dumbfounded. I won't be fooled at all."

"Where are you from?" Ling Shuanghua glanced at him.

Cheng Li smiled and picked up a chicken wing, put it into Cheng Dingbo's bowl, and said with a smile: "Of course it's mine."

Cheng Dingbo happily accepted the chicken wing from the little cotton-padded jacket.

"Actually, I happened to meet Yunze's mother today, your Aunt Sun. She said that Yunze has returned to China and is still single..."

When Cheng Li heard this, her scalp exploded.

"Stop, stop, stop," Cheng Li shouted immediately, "Can you please stop messing with me?"

Ling Shuanghua looked displeased: "How can this be a mess? He Yunze graduated from Princeton in the United States. You have known each other since childhood, and his parents are also old acquaintances of mine. Logically speaking, when you are looking for a boyfriend, you should find someone who knows everything." Cheng Li

flatly refused: "Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for me and him."

He said angrily: "Tell me, who are you likely to date?"

"Anyway, I already have someone I like."

Cheng Li blurted out.

After that, the dinner table fell into silence for a while.

Ling Shuanghua and Cheng Dingbo both looked at her in disbelief.

"Stop bluffing me with such words," Ms. Ling obviously didn't believe it and thought Cheng Li was making excuses.

Seeing that the words had been spoken, Cheng Li said firmly: "Anyway, don't worry about me."

"Okay, you bring the person back, and I will take care of you this time." Ling Shuanghua said firmly.

Cheng Li thought, she might as well take this opportunity to have a showdown with Ms. Ling.

So she nodded, "Okay, he's on a business trip these days. He'll be back in a few days. I'll bring him back."

The next day.

It was another day of meeting with Zhuolian Capital, and I thought of seeing Xu Jiheng's face again.

Cheng Li felt that she had been in a bad mood since the morning.

She only hopes that after this financing is over, Xu Jiheng can get out of her life forever.

When it was almost time for the meeting, Cheng Li entered the conference room early.

Soon, Han Xiaolin informed that people from Zhuolian Capital were here.

When the conference room door was pushed open, Cheng Li saw a face that she never expected.

He Yunze.

He walked at the front and entered the conference room first, while everyone else from Zhuolian Capital followed behind him, including Xu Jiheng.

Apparently Ren Kuang also noticed this change.

Is this a new person in charge suddenly parachuted in?

"Hello, Mr. Ren, I am He Yunze, and I am also the new person in charge of this financing project." He Yunze took out his business card and handed it to Ren Kuang.

Ren Kuang glanced down, showing a hint of surprise.

Soon, Cheng Li also got He Yunze's business card. The professional title Hao Ran on it was VP (Vice President).

She knew that He Yunze was the same age as her.

In any investment bank, a 28-year-old VP is considered very young and promising.

You must know that Xu Jiheng is thirty years old and has not yet been promoted to this position.

This is one of the reasons why he jumps over the wall in a desperate manner and insists on cheating to hug the wealthy man's lap.

Suddenly, Cheng Li felt ridiculous.

It stands to reason that after Xu Jiheng takes charge of this project, he can probably be promoted to VP smoothly.

Now He Yunze suddenly airborne, which was equivalent to stealing his position.

Although Cheng Li had always had no feelings for He Yunze, she was very willing to see Xu Jiheng defeated.

He Yunze explained to Ren Kuang at this time: "Mr. Ren, I know you must be surprised when the person in charge is changed midway. But please believe that we at Zhuolian Capital sent me to take charge precisely because we want to facilitate this financing. After all, there has been no progress in the previous negotiations."

Since the cooperation with Jiangchi Automobile was finalized, we have become the other party's software supplier.

Oceanwide's financing confidence has been greatly improved.

Naturally, they would not give in easily, so there has been no progress on Xu Jiheng's side.

Zarlink Capital simply changed the person in charge.

The meeting between the two parties went smoothly because He Yunze was willing to make concessions and directly raised the valuation of the entire company to 450 million.

Even if it hasn't reached Ren Kuang's psychological level, his attitude is at least good.

By the time the meeting was over, it was almost time for lunch.

He Yunze directly suggested: "How about we have lunch together."

Ren Kuang nodded in agreement. After all, the other party was the new person in charge and still had to maintain the relationship.

Cheng Li refused without thinking: "Sorry, I have to go to the laboratory in the afternoon, so I won't have dinner with you later."

"You really don't want to come with us? I made a reservation at your favorite restaurant." He Yunze looked at her and smiled deliberately.

Everyone looked at the two of them.

what's the situation?

As we all know, Xu Jiheng is Cheng Li's ex-boyfriend.

Who is this? ?

Cheng Li frowned and came again. He Yunze seemed to always know how to force others.

He Yunze explained with a smile: "Mr. Cheng and I are old classmates. We have known each other since junior high school until high school."

"You are actually classmates too." Ren Kuang really laughed now and said, "I am Cheng Li's University senior."

He Yunze: "Then everyone is on their own."

Because Ren Kuang had something to deal with, he asked them to go to the restaurant first.

When he reached the door, Xu Jiheng couldn't help but looked at He Yunze and whispered: "Mr. He, it turns out that you have known Cheng Li for a long time."

He Yunze made room to the side and motioned to other subordinates to take the elevator down first.

After the elevator door closed, He Yunze slowly looked at Xu Jiheng and said with a smile: "Well, why do you think I only chose Zarlink Capital when so many domestic companies invited me to join?"

Xu Jiheng felt a wave of excitement in his heart. Bad feeling.

He Yunze looked straight at him, and his face finally showed that condescending sarcasm: "A person like you dares to do such a thing to her. So, I just want to ride on your head."

Xu Jiheng : "You..."

"Even if you betray her, you won't get what you want." He Yunze looked at Xu Jiheng, his face becoming increasingly livid, and asked calmly: "How does this feel?"

But soon, Xu Jiheng also laughed: "Then do you know that she is married?"

The proud smile on He Yunze's face suddenly froze.

marry?

who?

Cheng Li happened to come out of the company at this time and she was answering the phone.

It was Ms. Ling who called.

She said: "I'm working in the company now."

Ms. Ling: "Even if you are working in the sky now, come home to me now, immediately, immediately."

"Okay." Cheng Li was helpless, afraid that something would happen. What a big deal.

When she hung up the phone, she saw two men standing at the elevator entrance.

She glanced at them, her mouth slightly twitching, each one more annoying than the last.

There happened to be an elevator coming down.

Unexpectedly, there were people standing inside. Cheng Li reluctantly squeezed in. As soon as He Yunze came up to catch up, the elevator sounded a warning sound.

In desperation, he could only retreat first.

Before the elevator closed, he said, "Cheng Li, I have something to ask you."

But Cheng Li glanced at him and the elevator was already closed.

Cheng Li took a taxi and went straight home.

Along the way, I always felt a little uneasy.

When she arrived at home and was about to open the door, she found that the door was opened from the inside.

It was opened by Cheng Dingbo.

Seeing that her father was also at home, Cheng Li asked strangely: "Dad, you didn't go to work today?"

Cheng Dingbo glanced at her with a complicated expression.

Cheng Li said while changing her shoes, "What's going on? Teacher Ling is calling me in such a hurry..."

When she turned around, with such precision, she saw the small red notebook spread out on the coffee table.

Her and Rong Qi's marriage certificate.

Cheng Li turned her head numbly and looked at Ling Shuanghua, who was sitting on the sofa.

For a moment, there was only one thought in her mind.

She's done.



The author has something to say:

Container: Holding the marriage certificate in hand, laughing at the fight.
