Ever since I met Qi Zhouyang, he has always been very energetic. Even when he broke up with Xiang Qing, he was just decadent and angry.
At this time, the voice coming from the other end of the phone was full of a sense of exhaustion and weakness, sounding as if he had not had any strength for a long time.
"Xiao Qi, are you still asleep?" I didn't directly talk about Xiang Qing, but asked him about the situation there first.
"I'm still working overtime at the company, and lately... there's been a lot going on." Qi Zhouyang's voice was a bit evasive, as if he didn't want to explain to me in detail.
Are you so busy?
A trace of doubt flashed in my mind, and then I comforted him, "Then you should also pay attention to your health. The work pressure in a big company will naturally be more stressful, but your future will be better."
Qi Zhouyang did not cheer up at all because of my comfort, but smiled bitterly, "Well, I know."
It was obvious that he didn't agree with what I said, and since I didn't know much about his current situation, I could only skip the topic.
"Years ago, you said you wanted to treat me to dinner, but I didn't go. If you are free these two days, I'll treat you to dinner." Maybe it was Qi Zhouyang's state that surprised me, so I hesitated for a while. You shouldn't talk about Xiang Qing directly.
Just make an appointment to have a meal and talk about it in person.
Qi Zhouyang paused for a while, and then replied, "Okay, I should have half a day this weekend. Where do you want to eat? Sister Shu, please send me the address."
Only half a day on the weekend? I was surprised that she was so busy. I felt that my mother was not as busy as Qi Zhouyang.
No, Jin Han was never as busy as Qi Zhouyang is now.
"Okay." I didn't ask any more questions. If I have any questions, I can wait until I meet him to ask them.
After hanging up the phone, I fell asleep worriedly.
——
The next day I was woken up by the ringtone of my cell phone. When I saw the word "Xiang Qing", I suddenly woke up.
I answered the phone immediately, and Xiang Qing's voice came over again, "Sister Shu, haven't you gotten up yet?"
"You're not Xiang Qing, who are you?" I asked sharply.
"Can't you even recognize my voice?" The other party's voice became sinister. "When you stabbed my chest with your knife, weren't you a little scared? You never thought that I would be a ghost. Let you go?"
Recalling the moment when I accidentally killed Xiang Qing, my heart clenched, but then I felt relieved.
This is all Xiang Qing's own fault.
I replied coldly, "So? These things have been published in the news. Anyone can pretend to be Xiang Qing and say these things. Do you think I will believe it?"
"Sister Shu, you killed me and killed my father. Do you still feel no guilt at all?" The other party ignored my rhetorical question and asked me in a resentful tone.
Of course I don't feel guilty, because it's all their own fault.
Besides, I suffered more sins than Xiang Qing in my last life, so this life should be her retribution.
Before I had time to speak, the other party only said "I'll come back to you" and hung up the phone.
When I called again, it shut down again.
This pretentious behavior made me extremely irritated. I threw my phone on the bed and went downstairs to see if my parents were there.
The servant told me that the two of them left early in the morning.
I don’t know why, but I always feel that the atmosphere at home is a bit strange after I come back. It doesn’t seem much different from usual, but my intuition tells me that there is something wrong.
Suddenly, I remembered something. Today should be my dad's last day at work. He has already entered the resignation process as soon as he starts working after the new year.
After so many days, the procedure has almost been completed. My mother had specially reminded me before.
I almost forgot that I also need to prepare a gift for my dad to celebrate his retirement.
Fortunately, I had pre-ordered the gift and it had arrived before the year. I just had to pick it up at any time.
I immediately went out and drove in a hurry to pick up the gift.
On the way, I received a call from Gu Shisong. I thought it was the result of the investigation there, so I quickly answered the call.
"Little wife, I miss you."
As soon as the call was connected, it was Gu Shisong's nonsense.
"..." I was silent for three seconds, "Gu Shisong, don't tell me that you called me just to tease me."
"How can this be considered a joke? I really miss you. Last night I dreamed that you and your ex-husband were getting along again, and I woke up with a fright." Gu Shisong's tone sounded serious.
As soon as I heard the word ex-husband, I remembered the encounter with Jin Han in the restaurant last night.
Although they are not close friends, they did meet and interact with each other. Could it be that Gu Shisong, the magician, really has some magical skills in divination...
I was a little distracted in the fourth dimension and did not answer Gu Shisong's words.
"Where are you? Why don't you speak?" Gu Shisong urged me to speak.
"Is the driver who hit you awake?" I came to my senses and got down to business.
Gu Shisong paused for a few seconds and then said in a normal tone, "Not yet. I'm still checking the information of the person who wanted to kill you. I initially learned that he was an amateur killer, so you easily killed him."
Amateur killer, do you look down on me so much?
