Chapter 46 046 "If it doesn't work this time, just give up." "...
Chapter 46 046 "If it doesn't work this time, just give up." "...
Tang Sijia didn't expect Song He to come to her on his own initiative.
When it was almost time to get off work, Tang Sijia received a text message from Shi Chuan. He said that after using the method she taught him, he and the marriage partner had an unprecedented opportunity to get along harmoniously, and asked her if he could continue to consult her when he encountered problems in the future.
Thinking of how she stayed up all night to prepare for the forum meeting the day before, she fell asleep in Shi Chuan's car last night. After going upstairs, she found that she had slept for more than three hours.
And during the whole process, Shi Chuan was always waiting patiently.
She didn't feel embarrassed to refuse again, but just said that if there were similar emotional problems, she would try her best to provide some suggestions. After
replying to the message, it was just time to get off work. Tang Sijia didn't look at her phone again, picked up her bag and went downstairs.
Just as she walked into the hall, she heard someone in the lounge area next to her waving to her happily: "Sister, sister! "
Tang Sijia turned her head, Song He was wearing a white sweatshirt, his eyes full of joy, but somehow, his face looked thinner and paler than before.
"Hi, Song He," Tang Sijia paused, and greeted him as usual, "You look..."
"I went to Haicheng to recuperate last month, and just came back yesterday," Song He waved his hand carelessly, and then said aggrievedly, "Sister, before I left, my brother said he would pick me up with you, why didn't you show up?"
Tang Sijia hesitated for a while: "Didn't you ask your brother?"
"I asked," Song He nodded, "but he didn't say anything, just asked me if I listened to the doctor's advice in Haicheng, if I ran around, blah blah..."
Tang Sijia was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "Actually, your brother and I have broken up."
Although neither of them directly mentioned the word "break up", the lack of contact during this period should be the result of both of them tacitly agreeing.
"Break up? "Song He opened his eyes wide, "Then you are not my sister-in-law anymore?"
Tang Sijia nodded.
"Then does the puppy doll that sister promised me before still count?" Song He asked in a low voice. Tang
Sijia couldn't help laughing out loud: "Of course it counts. In fact, I have already hooked it. It's upstairs," she said, glancing at the elevator, "Why don't you wait for me for a while, I'll go upstairs to get it?"
Song He nodded immediately.
Tang Sijia looked at his innocent look, smiled, and quickly took the doll back.
Song He looked at the doll from left to right, and then looked at the doll's eyes carefully: "Sister, why do I feel that this puppy's eyes are a bit like mine? "
Tang Sijia looked at him. Song He's eyes were light brown, and looked like bright yellow in the sun, so she used dark yellow glass beads as his eyes.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now that Song He mentioned it, they were really similar to his eyes.
Perhaps because he had been protected by the people around him for a long time and was finally able to go out, Song He was inevitably more active.
Tang Sijia had no choice but to accompany him to the nearby dessert shop again. She watched him order a few desserts with a wave of his hand. After he returned to his seat, she walked up and whispered to the waiter to serve small portions and less sugar. It
was already past half past six when they finished eating the dessert, and Song He was still not satisfied, and wanted to go home with Tang Sijia.
However, the bodyguard came forward and reminded him that it was time to go home. Song He said goodbye reluctantly, and before leaving, he couldn't help but ran back and asked, "Sister, after you break up with big brother, can I still play with you?"
Tang Sijia nodded: "Of course. "
Only then did Song He get into the car and leave contentedly.
More than an hour had passed when he returned to the villa area in the west of the city. When Song He walked into the house, he remembered with regret that he had forgotten to ask Tang Sijia when he would be free, as they still had to go to Universal Studios together.
Pushing open the door, Song He was about to go upstairs to put the doll back in his room, but was startled by the figure on the sofa. When he saw the person clearly
, he reacted: "Brother, why are you sitting here without saying a word?" As he spoke, he realized that his eldest brother was holding the same doll as his, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Brother, I have this doll too!" Song He said excitedly.
Song Xiuren seemed to be suddenly pulled back from his memories, his out-of-focus eyes gradually gathered, and he turned his head to look over.
When he saw the white doll in Song He's hand clearly, he was obviously stunned, and it took him a while to speak, his voice slightly hoarse: "Where did you go?"
"To find my sister," Song He waved the doll, righteously, "otherwise who would specially knit a doll for me, and our eyeballs are the same color! "
As he spoke, he moved the doll closer to his eyes.
Song Xiuren looked at the doll in his hand with a dazed look in his eyes. After a long time, he asked again, "What did you say?"
Song He remembered what he said to Tang Sijia in the evening, and hesitated, "Just... the same as usual."
"Didn't mention anything else?"
Song He shook his head firmly.
Song Xiuren's eyes gradually dimmed, and the scene of Shi Chuan driving her away yesterday afternoon became clear again: "In the future... don't always bother others for no reason." He said in a hoarse voice.
Song He opened his eyes wide: "Why?"
"My sister said, even if you break up, I can still go to find her! "
Song Xiuren's expression suddenly froze.
Break up?
Did she say that to Song He?
But they had never mentioned the word "break up". He thought... they just needed space to sort out their thoughts and figure out what they wanted.
But they hadn't been in touch for nearly four weeks, and it was understandable that she would think of "breaking up".
Shi Chuan was right in one thing. In many things, he was the kind of person who would rather have nothing than have something bad.
For example, in his career, when he started his business and needed investment, the investor wanted to make small modifications to the terminal game he developed, and he gave up the eight-digit funds without hesitation.
For example, in terms of family affection, after his father passed away, his mother went to the United States and had a new family there. Most of her love and attention were given to her new husband and children, and she could not give him and Song He all her love. He could not control Song He, but he could remove family affection from his life.
But only in terms of feelings, he was at a loss. He could not be ruthless in giving up, nor could he be free of grudges.
"It's not fair. My brother's dolls are more exquisite than mine! "Song He's voice suddenly broke the silence.
Song Xiuren came back to his senses, and followed Song He's voice of complaint to look at the doll in his hand.
Only then did he notice that the German Shepherd doll was much more delicate than the other one, both in terms of stitching and the texture of the dog's hair.
There were even a few flesh-pink hearts at the bottom of the dog's paws.
This was her preference for him.

After Tang Sijia finished the related projects of "Dream", she finally had time to look through other projects that had been shelved.
Then she found that a documentary project called "City Night Watchmen", which had been abandoned due to the incident in Nanshan and the budget cut, had great advantages in improving the company's reputation and winning awards, and was completely worthy of restarting.
After discussing with Vice President Sun, Tang Sijia spent the whole day sorting out the relevant materials for the documentary. After finishing the sorting, she realized that it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
After stretching, Tang Sijia decided to continue tomorrow.
It was already half past nine when she returned to the community. She was thinking about the documentary plan while walking.
Two familiar girls walked by with their arms around each other and whispered, "So handsome, you must have been waiting since six o'clock."
"I don't know who you are waiting for, who is so happy..."
Tang Sijia smiled lightly and didn't think much about it.
Until she walked downstairs, she raised her head as usual and stopped where she was.
Under a dim street light, Song Xiuren, wearing a black shirt and black trousers, stood there quietly. His face was faintly tired, but his eyes were exceptionally bright. He was looking at her patiently and seriously.
Thinking of what the two girls said, Tang Sijia was a little surprised: "Xiu Ren, why are you here?"
Song Xiu Ren's voice was a little hoarse, but still gentle: "I'm waiting for you."
Tang Sijia was stunned and repeated his words unconsciously: "Wait for me?"
"Song He said that he came to you yesterday and you took good care of him."
"Song He is also my friend, it's my duty to take care of him." Tang Sijia said quietly.
Song Xiu Ren: "He also said that we broke up."
Tang Sijia was slightly startled, and her voice couldn't help but soften: "... Isn't it?"
Song Xiu Ren pursed his thin lips, walked in front of her, and looked down at her: "Sijia, I want to redeem that voucher now." "
What voucher..."
Before she finished her voice, she saw Song Xiu Ren spread out his clenched palms, and the wrinkled note that had been rubbed for who knows how long was unfolded, and her handwriting was clearly printed on it:
Hug voucher.
"This..." Tang Sijia raised her head in surprise, and her eyes suddenly darkened.
A tired but broad chest, filled with her unfinished words, and a strong arm hugged her tightly.
Tang Sijia's heart beat twice gently, and after a long time, she raised her hands and hugged his thin back.
Song Xiuren's body tightened, and his arms became stronger: "Sijia."
"Well?"
"Yesterday, I wanted to send you an umbrella, but you had already left."
"Shi Chuan just happened to pass by, and he said he had some questions to ask me about his marriage partner." Tang Sijia told the truth.
Song Xiuren's arm hesitated slightly, he knew that Shi Chuan was lying.
But he couldn't expose these.
Just like Shi Chuan said, after being exposed, his true face would be much more threatening than the pure and harmless he pretended to be.
At this moment, Song Xiuren remembered a question he had seen a long time ago: If the possibility of you and a person having a result is very small, and you love this person very much, do you want to go through the process or turn around and leave.
At that time, he thought, he must turn around and leave decisively.
But at this moment, he thought, what is the result?
Enter the marriage hall? Grow old together?
However, marriage can also lead to divorce, and someone will always die first when they grow old.
Perhaps, the process of getting along with her is the result he wants.
That day, they both tacitly did not mention the night before they parted, the topic of "I love you", but just hugged each other tightly.
The street lights stretched the figures of the two people very long, very long...

Shi Chuan looked at the scene not far away calmly, and the ingredients in his hands seemed to become extremely heavy, weighing down his fingers.
In the afternoon, he asked her if she had time today.
She replied that she had to work overtime today.
So, for the whole afternoon and evening, he was immersed in the joy of her reply.
He calculated the time when she would finish overtime, bought the ingredients, and came here. He even prepared the questions he would ask, and cooking was just a thank you.
But what he saw was the two people hugging each other.
Perhaps his chest hurt too many times, and he was actually no longer aware of his twitching heart.
He skillfully swallowed the surging emotions, and no longer rushed forward impulsively like before, but turned and left with an expressionless face.
When he walked out of the community, the light in front of him began to flicker again, until the shrill sound of horns and brakes sounded, and Shi Chuan finally came to his senses.
He walked to the road unknowingly.
Shi Chuan returned to his car, and when he put his hands on the steering wheel, he found that his fingers were so tight that they hurt, and his fingertips were shaking uncontrollably.
After a moment of relaxation, Shi Chuan drove back to the old community quietly.
Shi Chuan used the ingredients he bought to prepare a sumptuous dinner. The moment he finished, there was a knock on the door. When
he opened the door, William was standing outside the door, looking at the surrounding environment with disdain: "You live here now?"
Shi Chuan looked at him: "Something?"
"During the family trust meeting, you said you went abroad for something. What did you do?" William asked.
Shi Chuan lowered his eyes and did not answer his question.
William did not expect to pry out things he did not want to say from him. He shrugged, smelled the fragrance of food in the house, took a deep breath, and walked in naturally: "It just so happens that I haven't had dinner yet."
Shi Chuan frowned.
William raised his eyebrows: "I won't eat your money for free, I will provide you with first-hand information."
He threw a thick stack of documents on the table: "It's just as you said. At the trust meeting, your father asked for an anti-dilution clause on the grounds of protecting your grandfather's inheritance, but was rejected by your grandmother."
Shi Chuan responded lightly.
"Why, Hansi is almost in your pocket, are you unhappy?" William was puzzled, "Didn't your assistant say that you were in a good mood some time ago?"
Even he heard that the reason was that there seemed to be some problems between Tang Sijia and Song Xiuren.
Thinking of this, William gradually understood: "Miss Tang and Song Xiuren have reconciled?"
Shi Chuan's eyelashes trembled twice, and he was silent for a few seconds: "What if I say that I don't want Hansi anymore?"
William narrowed his eyes and stared at him, and said after a while: "Then there will be one more person who wants you to disappear physically, Shi Chuan, don't go crazy."
Shi Chuan laughed softly and did not continue the topic: "William, in fact, before Zhou Qing hurt me to win back Jiang Huaian, she had been hurting herself."
William was slightly stunned: "Why do you suddenly talk about this?"
Shi Chuan lowered his eyes: "Nothing, I just suddenly understand her."
William frowned, he knew how much Shi Chuan resented his mother and hated his father.
But now he actually said...understanding.
Shi Chuan thought of something and laughed sarcastically: "Didn't you want to know what I look like after combining the bad genes of Jiang Huaian and Zhou Qing?" "
It's like this now."
Cold-blooded when it shouldn't be cold-blooded, paranoid when it shouldn't be paranoid.
Then, there is no redemption.
Unbearable, dark, full of lies, a dog that has lost its home.
William was quiet, and the food in front of him was no longer fragrant. He took out a document from the folder and threw it on the top in annoyance: "Nanshan Media plans to restart a documentary project. Tang Sijia just reported it to Sun Zhi today and sent it to my mailbox not long ago." "
The reason for the suspension of the project is that the budget is seriously insufficient."
Shi Chuan looked at the document, and his originally dark eyes gradually calmed down.
Seeing this, William knew that he had come up with another unethical method, and reminded: "Don't give money directly, Miss Tang will not accept it." After saying that, fearing that he would also be infected by his low morality, he hurriedly added: "I just told you that there is this project, not to provide you with an unethical way to pry someone else's wife."
"I know."
William sighed, and his tone became more serious: "Really, Shi Chuan, it doesn't work this time, just give up." Shi
Chuan was still looking at the document, his face calm.
Just when William thought that he would remain silent this time as before, he raised his head and suddenly responded: "Okay."
William looked up in surprise and said suspiciously: "Really?"
Shi Chuan said "um" calmly.
Like a dummy.
