Chapter 51
Chapter 51
It was past nine o'clock when Ji Yi stood up from his work station.
She was alone in the office, and in fact she was done before eight o'clock.
But she didn't want to go home, and after Police Officer Feng also went back, the office became quieter, and Xi Xiaohe's figure invaded her mind domineeringly, followed by her refusal and her screams——
People are so strange, when something is within your reach, you will dislike it, and you will look forward and backward; when it turns away from you, you will be fragrant again, and start to want it.
What Xi Xiaohe said that day, "It looks like I have never been proposed before", "Just pretend I didn't say it", "I won't bother you again", "I can't"... It seems to be imprinted in Ji Yi's mind Here, she would automatically repeat the reading whenever she was free, as domineering as the master of words.
When Xi Xiaohe let go, Ji Yi felt that she should feel relaxed, but the fact is, after she stopped looking for her, she actually missed her a little bit.
"Absolutely obsessed!"
She stood up from her seat talking to herself, and looked around the empty office. Suddenly, Xi Xiaohe's "Run when you see me, are you still a policeman" sounded in her ears——
Instead of going home and being overwhelmed by Xi Xiaohe, it's better to find Fa Xiao and have a drink.
After making up his mind, Ji Yi walked out of the office, locked the door, and left the police station.
I stopped a car, and when it was almost ten o'clock, the taxi stopped outside the gate of Meng Chuwu's house.
After getting out of the car, the guard opened the door for her.
Tonight her figure is not as straight as before, and her steps are not so windy.
Just when Meng Chuwu felt that Ji Yi would not come and was about to go upstairs, she heard slow footsteps, turned sideways, and dragged a tired Ji Yi in front of her.
I have never seen her so depressed even after being busy with difficult cases for half a month before. Only Xi Xiaohe can make her so depressed.
Meng Chuwu's eyes were as bright as a torch, and she immediately saw through the root of cheap hair's troubles.
When Ji Yi approached, Meng Chuwu found that the usual coldness in her face was gone, replaced by a lonely grayness.
"Where's the wine?" Ji Yi always spoke briefly, she took off her police cap, subconsciously stroked her hair back and glanced at the tea table.
Before Meng Chuwu could answer, she fell onto the sofa and buried her whole face in the pillow with Meng Chuwu's face printed on it.
Meng Chuwu looked down at Faxiao who lost her anger, and teased lightly: "After being proposed, have you been forced to marry by Xi Xiaohe?"
"Hurry up and get the wine!" Ji Yi's words were muffled by the pillow.
With her appearance like this, she doesn't seem to be avoiding Xi Xiaohe, but rather a depressed woman trapped in love.
Meng Chuwu didn't say any more, and left the living room to get wine.
When I came out of the living room, I happened to meet Chen Lanying, and she quickly called to her: "Xiao Chen, help me get some ice cubes, two wine glasses for drinking white wine, cut a lemon or wash some fresh mint, and send them to the living room! "
Chen Lanying was playing a game in the room just now, and suddenly she was a little hungry. She planned to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but she ran into Meng Chuwu after she came out. Usually, she and Xi Xiaoyan went upstairs in the morning at this time, and she was so scared that she was busy. She lowered her head, "Okay. Miss Meng, do you want fruit or nuts for the drink?"
"See if there is any dessert. If not, wash a plate of cherries." After Meng Chuwu finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the storage room.
After walking a few steps, remembering Chen Lanying's easily startled personality, she stopped and turned around and said, "Ji is also in the living room."
"Okay, I see." The little maid seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage before she raised her head, "Miss Meng, that—"
"Well, you said."
The two were separated by three or four meters, and Meng Chuwu could clearly see the panic and joy mixed on the little maid's face.
It has been more than a month since Chen Lan came to her home to work, but every time she talks to her, she is still so easily shy.
"Well, did you really catch the person who gave Miss Xi the cloud-soaring potion?"
"Yes, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, it has nothing to do with you."
"Oh, then I'm relieved." Chen Lanying seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "But——a sister I know told me that the coffee shop clerk who confessed to the crime was a scapegoat. ,so I--"
The previous Tengyunji incident was clearly suppressed very quickly, and Meng Chuwu thought that not many people knew about it.
It seems that she still underestimated the speed and scope of the gossip; moreover, the coffee shop clerk pleaded guilty, and even fewer people knew about it.Chen Lanying's words aroused her vigilance.
"Don't worry, you won't be involved again." Meng Chuwu first comforted the panicked little maid, and then asked casually, "Sister you know, why do you say that the coffee shop clerk is a villain? Any proof?"
"Not yet, but she said—"
Meng Chuwu gave her an encouraging look.
Chen Lanying swallowed her throat, squeezed her hands on her lower abdomen, "She said she would collect evidence—"
"Do you know why she did it?"
"Miss Meng, I, I don't know either. But I can assure you that my sister has no ill intentions towards you and Miss Xi! I swear on my reputation."
"Then what's your purpose in telling me about this?"
"My elder sister said that if she collects strong evidence in the future, she hopes to meet Miss Meng. I don't know if it is possible—"
"Yes! If she finds evidence, I can meet her."
"Then—" Chen Lanying lowered her head again, "Can Ms. Meng keep it a secret before my sister collects enough evidence?"
"Row!"
"I'm going to get something first."
The little maid took a few steps back, turned around slowly, and then walked towards the kitchen.
Meng Chuwu looked at her back and thought, her sister should know something about it. Now the evidence found by Commander Xi points to Jiang Xiyang. If Chen Lanying's sister is reliable, then she is collecting Could the evidence be related to Jiang Xiyang?
She wanted to ask Chen Lanying this question, but she was too timid, and the matter was basically settled, so she didn't rush to ask her further, so as not to leak the news and startle the snake.
As for whether her sister wanted to see her after collecting evidence, whether she wanted money or something else, Meng Chuwu was not in such a hurry to know, and it would not be too late to wait for further news.
About ten minutes later, when Meng Chuwu took the wine and returned to the living room, she saw that the things she asked Chen Lanying to pick up had already been placed on the coffee table. This little maid was very efficient at her work.
Ji Yi was already sitting upright. Seeing that Meng Chuwu was a little distracted, she threw a sentence: "Go get a bottle of wine and lose your soul?"
"Why, your lost soul came back by itself?" Meng Chuwu retorted.
She walked over, sat down beside Ji Yi, and put the wine bottle on the table;
Ji Yi bowed close to the coffee table, and reached out to pick up the wine glass that was upside down on the plate. She first put some mint leaves on the bottom of the glass, then put ice cubes in it, and then handed the glass to Meng Chuwu.
After a while, Ji Yi took the first glass of wine poured by Meng Chuwu, and drank it sullenly without waiting for her.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Meng Chuwu poured the second cup, tightened the cap, and glanced at Faxiao.
I saw that her eyes were straight and empty, and that state was like a soul wandering away.
"Abandoned by Xi Xiaohe." Ji Yi's tone was quite resentful.
Meng Chuwu froze when she reached out to Che Lizi, "So, I can take it that you admit that you two have dated?"
"You said—" Ji Yi suddenly turned his gaze to Meng Chuwu, "How could a normal person be chasing you crazily yesterday, and tell you today that I won't bother you again—"
"I told you, don't annoy me," Meng Chuwu grabbed the stem of a cherries, held it up in the air, and flexibly twirled it, "Xi Xiaohe put me here is not in the category of normal people."
Ji Yi raised her head and took another sip. She drank quickly and vigorously.
"I didn't know you were dating her." Meng Chuwu pretended to be cheap and acquiesced, "Tell me, how did she abandon you?"
"Stop talking nonsense and drink!"
It's okay not to mention Xi Xiaohe, but when she is mentioned, Ji Yi becomes inexplicably irritable.
After a while, her wine glass had bottomed out.
"Woman, this is spicy wine, not cold water!"
Ji Yi fixed his eyes on Meng Chuwu's impeccable and graceful face, and then quickly put the empty wine glass in front of her, "Full up!" His tone was full of intoxication.
Meng Chuwu put the bright red cherries into her mouth, then tore off the stalk, and flicked it lightly at the trash can with her long and slender fingers.
Following her seductive eyes across Ji Yi's still depressed face, she moved to the wine bottle.
Unscrewing the cap, she poured her a second glass.
"You changed your mind and came to me just to get drunk?"
"Xi Xiaohe loves me crazily, just to reject me cruelly!" Ji Yi's voice was already faintly drunk, and after she finished speaking, she took another swig in revenge.
"It turns out that someone is tempted!"
Meng Chuwu finally understood why Cheap Faxiao was so depressed.
Isn't she always fickle? How long has Xi Xiaohe been chasing her?Could it be that this is the rhythm of being slept in? !
"Just be happy with your misfortune!"
"Not at all!" Meng Chuwu also took a sip, knowing that Ji Yi was in a bad mood, she specially picked a strong wine, the taste was sweet and exciting, and the cold taste made people feel excited.
"She wasn't in my plan at first—" Ji Yi raised her glass frequently, and her greedy appearance revealed her bad mood, "It's just—Meng Chuwu, do you know? Well, you must not know, like A woman like you who likes the wind and the rain will never understand—”
"Officer Ji, are you already drunk?" Meng Chuwu interrupted her, "I'm talking nonsense!"
"Xi Xiaohe—after she made the whole world think she was my girlfriend, she told me that she would never bother me again. She was a good woman who kept her word. She disappeared so quickly that our Criminal Investigation Department Everyone asked if I cheated! Xi Xiaohe, she——is a devil, not to mention disrupting my work and life, and making me bear the crime of being a heartless woman!"
Ji also became eloquent.
Meng Chuwu knew that her spirits were getting stronger.As soon as she drank too much wine, she talked more.
"Don't worry about her, the most important thing is to figure out your own thoughts first."
By saying this, she has actually seen through the intentions of cheap hair.
"What else can I think? You've all told her that I like the piano too, and the day before yesterday—I asked her if she could tell me the next time she had a piano playing, and her answer was, no—yes!"
"She said she couldn't, so you can't go?" Meng Chuwu laughed angrily, isn't it a dead-brained way to make a fool of yourself? "Xi Xiaoyan is here, do you still worry about when she will perform?"
"You don't understand, she has rejected me!"
"Officer Ji, you must have done something to break Miss Xi's heart! Otherwise, with her enthusiasm for you, it wouldn't happen!"
Ji Yi put down his wine glass, lowered his head, and was as quiet as a chicken.
If Xi Xiaohe's heart was broken, it must be her reaction to her marriage proposal.
"I'll just say—" Meng Chuwu knew she was right. "What's wrong, make up for it, trust me."
She stretched out her hand and lightly shoved cheap and small right shoulder.
Ji Yi raised his head and faced Meng Chuwu with a dazed face and empty eyes, "I can't make it up, I can't make it up."
"Miss Xi can't give up just because you don't marry her, it's not like her!"
Based on Meng Chuwu's understanding of Xi Xiaohe, she is not the type who would give up and get discouraged easily.
In any case, she has to hold on to the end, until Ji Yi escapes to a place where she can't find it, until there is nothing she can do, that's her style.
"Really!" Ji Yi looked hopeless.
She behaved really cowardly and badly that day, Xi Xiaohe said that she was a coward and it would be an understatement.
Alas, she has experienced so many thrilling moments in her criminal police career, but she has never been so embarrassed and panicked as that day.
"I don't believe it!" Meng Chuwu knew that Xi Xiaohe was not the type to retreat in spite of difficulties, she would only become more courageous with frustration.
Ji Yi took a deep breath. After all, she didn't get drunk so quickly. Although her eyes were slightly slackened, and the usual coldness in her face faded under the paralysis of alcohol, she was definitely still sober.
Under Meng Chuwu's repeated gaze, and in her eyes, don't lie to me, she made up her mind and said:
"Xi Xiaohe proposed to me while we were running an errand. At that time, I was frightened. When I came back to my senses, I left her and ran away."
After finishing speaking, her shoulders drooped again, and then her head lowered again.
Dazed for three seconds, Meng Chuwu recalled the scene in his head, and when he came back to his senses, "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..." Her hilarious laughter pierced the silence in the middle of the night. She really can't do anything about this kind of thing I can't help but laugh.
The upstairs bedroom door was open, and Xi Xiaoyan, who was applying a mask and reading in front of the dressing table, seemed to vaguely hear that if it wasn't for the mask on her face, she really had the urge to rush out of the room and go downstairs to find out.
"Enough!" Ji Yi bowed his head and stopped loudly.
Meng Chuwu beat the sofa with one hand and hugged her belly with the other. She laughed until her hair was disheveled.
Xi Xiaohe and Cheap Faxiao are such a sweet couple!
It wasn't until she stopped laughing that she realized that tears were streaming down her face.
"Hahaha... God! You really know how to play! You are willing to bow down, I admire you!!"
"If you tell Xi Xiaoyan, you will break off the relationship!"
"Officer Ji," Meng Chuwu took out a piece of paper to wipe away the tears from her laughter, "If I'm not wrong, there are at least three people who know about this matter now, even if Yan Rou knows, can you be sure that I said it?"
How could Meng Chuwu not share such a fun thing with Xi Xiaoyan?
She wished she could go upstairs now and tell her about it with embellishment.
"Tch!" Ji Yi knew this would happen.
"Maybe, Rouge already knows!" Meng Chuwu decided, "No, she will definitely tell me if she knows."
When she said that, it was like telling Ji Yi that she would definitely tell Xi Xiaoyan as well.
Since Ji Yi decided to confide, she didn't expect her to really keep the secret with the person next to her pillow.
"Ah——looking at it now, Miss Xi is such a proud person, so it's no surprise that she rejects you because of this."
After Meng Chuwu finished speaking, she poured another cup for Ji Yi.
"Dry this cup!"
Ji Yi picked up the wine glass and just said "Oh!"
"The matter is not as serious as you imagined. Miss Xi's self-esteem is just damaged. It will be fine when she recovers. Didn't she really reject you?"
"who knows--"
"Okay, okay, drink."
Time passed quietly.
Meng Chuwu didn't think the timing was right. About the matter of Che Hongxuan and Jiang Xiyang, she planned to wait for Ji Yi to wake up tomorrow morning before telling her.
In the middle of the night, Ji on the third floor could not sleep.
On the second floor, Meng Chuwu talked about the strange things between Ji Yi and Xi Xiaohe, and Xi Xiaoyan laughed as expected.
Now, she finally knows why her sister rejected Ji Yi.
I asked her the day before yesterday, but she still refused to give details.
Xi Xiaoyan only pretended to have heard about it, "Sister Wu, they want to reconcile, should we push it again?"
"Yes, Police Officer Ji is arrogant, Miss Xi is proud, let's help them create another opportunity."
"Yeah. They're too much fun hahaha..."
"Officer Ji seems to want to hear your sister play the piano."
"Sister Wu, leave this matter to me."
The next morning, during breakfast, Ji Yi's face turned pale and red, and he couldn't lift his head the whole time.
Meng Chuwu and Xi Xiaoyan looked at each other from time to time, holding back their laughter to the point of internal injury.
"I went to work." Ji Yi couldn't stand the atmosphere in the restaurant, she just regretted it, especially regretted that she made a slip of the tongue after drinking and exposed the embarrassing thing to someone who couldn't control her mouth.
When Xi Xiaoyan heard Ji Yi said that she was going to leave, she hurriedly said, "Sister Ji Yi, I heard that you want to listen to my sister's piano recital, and I will arrange it, is that okay?"
"Yeah." Ji Yi responded sullenly, got up and left the dining table.
"Rouge, I'll see Officer Ji off." Meng Chuwu also stood up.
The two left the restaurant one after the other.
"Let Mrs. Zi see you off, it's still a long way to the side of the main road." Meng Chuwu hurriedly sent out a novel.
"I don't want to talk to you!" Ji Yi didn't look back, she didn't stop until she left the house.
Meng Chuwu caught up with her, called Mrs. Zi, and said sideways: "I called you yesterday because I have something to tell you."
"I just remembered something to say now?" Ji Yi sneered.
"It's not about your condition last night—"
"I'm not in good shape, but not so bad that I can't listen to what you have to say!"
Cheap Fa Xiao's self-esteem was damaged, and the barbarian was possessed.
Meng Chuwu understood her mood, but her mouth was not forgiving: "So now you are not used to it because Xi Xiaohe is no longer clinging to you, right?"
One move made her lose all of her blood, and Ji Yi shut up.
During the silence between each other, Meng Chuwu sorted out her thoughts, and then said succinctly: "Didn't you ask you to check Jiang Xiyang and Che Hongxuan for me before? You don't need to check anymore, Che Hongxuan is dead."
Out of the corner of her eye, Ji Yi looked sideways at her.
But she didn't respond to her gaze, and then said, "Commander Xi will thoroughly investigate the matter of Tengyun medicine, so I don't need to take care of it."
"Since when did you and Commander Xi become the same side?"
Meng Chuwu didn't explain more.
Before it became clear about this matter, she felt that it would be better for Ji Yi not to know.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Ji Yi was not in the mood to ask any more questions.
"If you marry Xi Xiaohe in the future—"
"roll!"
"What's wrong!" Meng Chuwu turned her head to look at Cheap Fatty, "I wanted it but resisted desperately. It's really bad luck for eight lifetimes to meet you, Xi Xiaohe."
"I'm done with her."
Meng Chuwu felt that it was really difficult to make a joke, "Didn't you just allow Yanyan to help you find out about piano performance?"
At this time, Mrs. Zi drove the car in front of them and parked it firmly under the steps.
"Going to work." Ji Yi walked down the steps, and before Mrs. Zi got out of the car, she opened the door by herself.
Meng Chuwu looked down at her and sighed.
"By the way, can you—" Ji Yi turned around, hesitating to speak.
"???"
"Please tell Xi Xiaoyan about that matter, and pretend not to know in front of Xi Xiaohe." She bowed and sat in, then threw another sentence, "Please."
"understood."
Are you so concerned about Xi Xiaohe's face?Meng Chuwu looked at the leaving car and thought about it, and cheap hair became serious, her feelings would not be so exposed before.
"Miss Wu—"
Meng Chuwu turned her head when she heard the sound, it was Chao Zhi. "What's up?"
"Miss Zhixing wants you to answer the phone." Chao Zhi said.
"Got it." With that said, Meng Chuwu was indifferent.
She didn't understand why Meng Zhixing insisted on calling the landline every time she was looking for her daughter. If you asked her, she would explain to you that she was not used to mobile phones, saying that the screen of the mobile phone was particularly glaring and radiated a lot.
In the past, scumbag A taunted her mother in front of Chao Zhi more than once because of this: "If Miss Zhixing is allowed to make a video call with me, I think her precious eyes will be stabbed blind!"
When Chao Zhi heard this kind of remarks, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Meng Zhixing is relatively old-fashioned and doesn't like new products very much. He always feels that everything is better than before.
Seeing that Meng Chuwu was indifferent, Chao Zhi couldn't help urging, "Miss Wu, Miss Zhixing is still waiting for you!"
"Yeah." Meng Chuwu turned around and entered the room.
