sincere deal

Chapter 9

The next day, Byrne transferred Ji Xiaoxue to another department. His new position was higher and his salary was [-]% higher than before. Everyone thought he was an honorary transfer. Byrne didn't ask for a secretary anymore, leaving the secretary position vacant. But Ji Xiaoxue has also heard that with Bourne's ability, he doesn't need a secretary at all, because he can handle all the things by himself. In fact, observing the speed of Bourne's handling of official affairs a while ago, he believes that It's a fact. In the previous work, he considered his ability so that he wouldn't work too hard. He was originally a man with extraordinary ability.

A week after the transfer, there was the sound of high-heeled shoes in the office. The person who came had curly blond hair, sexy curves, and a beautiful face, which made all the men in the office hold their breath.

Ji Xiaoxue didn't look up, and waited until a hand covered with beautiful nail polish pressed hard on his report, then he raised his head in a daze, and Elizabeth was right in front of his eyes.

"Miss Elizabeth."

"Come out and speak." Her tone was not very good.

He got up slowly, the other party must be talking to him about Bourne's affairs. According to his previous personality, he couldn't go out during working hours, but as he moved his body, he always felt that part of his body was gradually losing consciousness and becoming numb.

From that day on, he never saw Bourne again, never heard his voice, or even saw his figure, just because he was no longer Bourne's attendant secretary, but he came to this department No need to report to Byrne himself.

He walked out of the office and went to the tea room. Elizabeth closed the door, and when she turned to face him, she slapped him mercilessly.

"If I were Bourne, I would have told you to walk away and get far away, so that I would never see you as a bastard again. I don't know why he can still calmly say that you are a talent, and you have a lot of money to stay in the company." Useful."

Hearing Bourne's name made him short of breath, his face was hot and painful, but the numbness of his body and mind made him seem to feel very weak about pain.

In the past, Bourne's comments on his official affairs were always mixed with teasing and teasing. He didn't know that he had such a high opinion of his ability.

"Boss...how is the president recently?"

"Very well, he is a diamond bachelor, he can have any kind of woman he wants, and he can have as much romance as he wants, a bunch of women surround him like sharks .”

This is a fact, since he was his secretary, he knew how popular Bourne was, but why now that he hears this fact, he can't breathe in his chest, as if he was pressed by a heavy stone, so he can't breathe .

Elizabeth had no sympathy for his pale face. She guessed that what he said to Bourne was enough for her to dismember him, and she cursed loudly.

"Bourne is a very gentlemanly person. He would never reveal what you were talking about, but you made Bourne feel cold. You must have said very unreasonable and cruel words."

Elizabeth knew he was sharing the bed with Bourne, and he couldn't lie to her, so he explained his reasons, "We...we are just a contractual relationship, we sleep together because Bourne paid to use my body .”

Hearing this, Elizabeth was so angry that the top of her head was about to smoke. She pointed at him and cursed: "This kind of nonsense, thank you for being able to say it, no wonder Bourne will despair of you. Let me tell you, the whole world is sleeping by Bourne All the women and men who have ever lived can say that Bourne is using them—in fact, they are not, they are using Bourne—but only you, only you are the least qualified to say this.”

Elizabeth clenched her hands into fists, as if she was controlling herself not to punch Ji Xiaoxue. "Bourne is so kind to you, he holds you in the palm of his hand, treats you with all kinds of tenderness and consideration, in exchange for him paying money to use you, this is really the most outrageous and asshole thing I have ever heard. "

"Miss Elizabeth..."

"Let me tell you how big-hearted Bourne is. Your brother took Bourne's card and swiped millions of dollars from him in one night. Has he ever told you about it?"

"how is this possible."

Ji Xiaoxue was completely dumbfounded, how could his younger brother get Bourne's Kaji? He vaguely thought that when he met the man who was his younger brother for the first time, he was too shocked, Bourne supported him, Then he handed his card to his younger brother indifferently, as if he was a hundred times more important than all his belongings.

"Maybe you just came back from the hospital at that time. Although it was found that there was nothing serious, he was afraid that it would affect your mood, so he didn't say a word, and he didn't even call the police. Your brother still relied on that card to ask the management staff to open the door." Bourne and your room let him in, these are enough to sue your brother, but Bourne only said it was his own fault, because he forgot that he had given your brother the card."

His lips trembled. He had already had a showdown with Bourne in the hospital. Although Bourne's expression was cold at that time, he must have been very angry in his heart. His tenderness and consideration are not different from what he said in the hospital.

"I don't know these things." Although this sounds like an excuse, he really doesn't know anything.

"Of course you don't know, because you don't know anything. In order to go on vacation with you, Bourne left his business and had a thousand times more things to do when he came back. When he swiped his card, he also smiled and said that he had forgotten that when you were sick, he was by your side to take care of you all night. A powerful man like him did this just to take advantage of you. Just want your body? I haven't seen a man in his position be so idiotic just to want sex."

Ji Xiaoxue was completely speechless, Elizabeth did not hit him, but kicked the door hard to vent her anger. "I don't want to see you again. It's useless to love you so much. It's just a waste of time. I'm not worth it for him."

After speaking, Elizabeth left angrily.Ji Xiaoxue's head was in a mess, Bourne didn't mention his brother's matter to him, no matter how angry he was with himself, he didn't really hurt him, no matter how angry he was, in the end, he just pushed him away. gone.

Sourness welled up in his eyes, he lost Bourne, everything was his own choice, why just imagining Bourne with other women in his head would hurt his heart and lungs?

It was he who gave up all this, he wanted to return to his peaceful life, but lost the man who made him smile.

Ji Xiaoxue's head seemed to be in a feverish chaos all day long. After work, when he walked out of the office building, someone called his name.

"Xiaoxue."

The moment he turned his head, he was stunned. For a moment, he didn't recognize who the person in front of him was, but after he was stunned for a second, he recognized it immediately.

In front of him was a person Ji Xiaoxue had never seen since he did not know how old he was. His father was a little older and shorter than he remembered, with more than half of his hair gray. The person standing next to him appeared at the club. half-brother.

The two came over warmly, the sky had just started to drizzle, and they opened an umbrella for him affectionately, saying that they would go to dinner together, he looked at the middle-aged man's face, looking for familiar memories from the past .

The middle-aged man said awkwardly: "Xue, I'm getting old, can you still recognize me as my father?"

"dad……"

He felt that his mouth was full of thirst like sand, and all the expectations and admiration that he hadn't had in many years surged up suddenly, as if he had returned to his young self, yearning for fatherly love and fraternity.

"Good boy, after your mother died, my life was difficult, so I didn't pick you up. I heard that you were adopted. How are you doing these days?"

Those nostalgic and friendly questions were immediately cut off by the younger brother, "Nonsense, Dad, the company I work for is a top [-] company, and he is the special secretary of the president. The salary is too high. He will eat whatever the president eats. What to eat, the president sleeps in the special presidential suite, he also sleeps in the presidential suite, of course life is very good."

Entering a restaurant, he ate without knowing what to eat. His younger brother talked about a lot of work, probably all about how he would invest in restaurants and bars with his friends, and how profitable they would be. The taste of this restaurant is not good, saying that his friend's cooking skills are much better than this, but the middle-aged man is much more silent.

"Dad, you told my brother." The younger brother motioned to his father.

An overly obsequious smile appeared on her father's old face, and Ji Xiaoxue's heart seemed to be torn out, because except for the greeting at the beginning, the rest of the middle-aged man's words revolved around the theme of money.

"Your brother is still very young, and a friend just wanted to ask him to invest, but I have a difficult life, and I don't have much spare money. Xiaoxue, we all know that you have saved a lot of money. Let's see if you want to help your brother. His business If the business is doing well, it will naturally give you dividends.”

"I have no money. I have just started working. Even though the salary is not low, I still need to repay the loan from my previous studies."

He told the truth, he was going to return the 200 billion to Bourne, he was not eligible to get the [-] million, and now thinking of the money still makes his heart ache, as if accusing him of committing the worst crime in his life Unforgivable mistake.

His younger brother was younger than him, but his over-indulgent face looked older than him. He bent his mouth and pulled out a very ugly smile.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? You are very rich. How could you not be able to repay the small amount of money in your study loan? I feel my eyes are blurred by counting the zeros in your account."

The passbook that the younger brother took out was the one that was originally stolen. Ji Xiaoxue was shocked. Is the thief who turned the place where he lives upside down the man in front of him?Entering the house where he lived without permission, and searching for valuables inside, it turned out to be his relatives!

"Why do you have this passbook?" His heart was about to rise and fall uncontrollably.

"Brother, give me the key, and I will go to your house." He answered it as a matter of course, as if the things about stealing chickens and dogs would definitely not cause him any shame in his heart.

"I didn't give you the key!"

His voice was dry, and he recalled what Elizabeth had said, the younger brother took Bourne's unlimited card in the resort center and asked the service staff to open the door of the room where he and Bourne lived, so he must have stolen his key from his travel bag at that time .

I finally understood why these two people were waiting for him so affectionately under the building where he worked. The father who hadn’t seen him for more than 20 years, and the man who claimed to be his younger brother, saw the 200 billion that Bourne transferred to him, so they just It's like ants seeing scattered molasses, and it's more like cockroaches seeing smelly kitchen waste. Bees flock to him to see if they can get something good.

"Xiaoxue, your younger brother is young and promising, just give him some money and let him make his own way!" The middle-aged man also joined the ranks of persuasion.

"You are young and promising, he stole millions of dollars from our president, do you know? If you want money, you can earn it yourself, like me, as a newspaper delivery boy, part-time job, use legitimate means to make money."

Ji Xiaoxue became furious. He pushed Bourne's arm away. Did he want to live a peaceful life just to talk about money with this group of sinking people?Is this what he really wants?

The man crooked his mouth and laughed, "It's just a little money, but it's really an unlimited card. It doesn't matter what you use. The president of your company is really rich. Brother, we can join forces, maybe I can get more money from the president." He couldn't imagine that anyone could get money from Bourne, and Bourne didn't care about the theft because he was gentle with himself, and he pushed away this gentle.

Ji Xiaoxue's head began to dizzy, "Do you know that what you did is illegal?"

"Brother, don't pretend to be innocent, what kind of newspaper delivery brother, do you think I will believe such a fake excuse? You also slept with your president, and he gave you so much money, or you let me go If he sleeps, I'll take a little less."

"Xiaoxue, just take some money out, we are your only relatives, we will not harm you, we will only help you."

The middle-aged man spoke so seriously that he made Ji Xiaoxue rush to his head with blood, help him?Where was the man named his father when it was time to help?Moreover, the man who was called his younger brother in front of him spoke too badly.

"Help me? Where were you when I needed help the most? Where were you when Mom was about to drown me? After I was taken to the hospital, the medical staff called you, and the social welfare organization also called you, that Where were you then?"

"Your mother is like a crazy woman. I can't take you away at all. If I take you away, she will definitely come to my house and get mad. I have a hard time. I was worried about you at that time, but I didn't Way, I'm really afraid of your mother." The middle-aged man spoke eloquently.

Such a false excuse made Ji Xiaoxue roar hoarsely. He already knew that his mother was abusing him, but he had no intention of taking him away at all, even after his mother died.

"Then why didn't you take me after she died?"

"Just... I told you that I have no money. I have to support my family. Your younger brother has started to go to school again. The family's expenses are too high to support a second one." The attitude of the middle-aged man became a little guilty.

If it was all about shirking responsibility, Ji Xiaoxue's heart was extremely cold, her head was also extremely cold, and her whole body was extremely cold.

The purpose of my father's visit was not to make up for the debts of the past, nor to create family warmth. He came for his younger brother whom he had never met more than 20 years ago. To put it simply, they all came for "money". He took the money out for his brother to squander.

"You abandoned me."

"Xiaoxue, why did you speak so harshly? We are all one family. I discussed it with your brother. Now that the family has money, we don't need to live in the old dilapidated house. I think I can find a bigger one. , a more comfortable and more stylish house, from now on we can have a family reunion. I’m sorry for making you lonely for more than 20 years, but we can make up for it now. Take care of your aunt well, if you and your brother get married and we have grandchildren, everyone will be very happy."

The surrounding walls seem to be spinning, and the dinner that Ji Xiaoxue has just swallowed in her stomach seems to be pouring out of her throat. The future promised by the person in front of her is so perfect, but it is so false that it makes people want to vomit.

Unlike Bourne, he never made any promises, but in his most helpless and weak moments, he stayed up all night by his side, arguing with doctors about him, and playing cheap tricks to get him. , Every joke to him seems to soothe his cold heart, as if to warm his heart.

madness!

How could he be so stupid to think that after losing Bourne, he could live a peaceful life.Ji Xiaoxue murmured, "How much do you want?"

This frank question made the old and the young sitting in front of him look at each other, their faces full of excitement, as if they thought it was easier to dig money from Ji Xiaoxue than they imagined.

"If there is a billion for dad to retire..."

From the greedy eyes in their eyes, Ji Xiaoxue could tell that they would ask him for money after they had spent all their money, and after they had asked for it, they would spend it all again... He would never have a peaceful life.

"Furthermore, I don't have that much money. Everything you see in the passbook belongs to the president."

They opened their mouths to talk again, but Ji Xiaoxue's ears were ringing, he didn't want to listen any more, and couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he stood up, regardless of the heavy rain starting outside, quickly turned to the door, and fled These two people made him feel sick.

The rain and the dirty water accumulated on the ground wet his shoes and socks, and the dirty mud splashed on his suit pants when he was running. In Ji Xiaoxue's eyes, these dirts are cleaner and more comfortable to him than the air in the restaurant just now. In desperation, he let the torrential rain soak his hair.

Stupid, how could he be so stupid! .

Pushing away the people who love him, and then being surrounded by people who claim to love him, talking about the false future and sweet words, trying to dig out all the money from him as much as possible, these people are not his relatives, what they say, It will only make him want to vomit unbearably.

He ran forward frantically, except for the rain-soaked road in front of him, he couldn't see anything else.

is he cryingThe rain was so heavy that he couldn't even feel his own tears. He ran all the way, and the cold and piercing rain pierced into his body hard, making him shiver all over. He sat on the small steps, shaking all over, The moisture from the rain drained all the warmth in his body.

so cold!It was so cold that he was almost frozen to breathe. No matter how much he rubbed his hands, it felt like two pieces of ice were sharpening each other. The bone-piercing chill made him unable to move. He bent his head between his open legs, The rain was still crackling and crackling, but his world had no sound, only a cold, sad, hopeless fog.

Who is going to give him some warmth and not let him be in such pain and despair?

Who will shield him from the wind and rain, so that he will not feel that he is falling, as if he is about to fall into the dark depths?

The luxury private car stopped at this place, the driver opened the umbrella, opened the door for the man in the back seat, and carefully opened the umbrella to prevent any raindrops from getting wet on the clothes designed by the first-class designer.

He raised his lonely and helpless eyes and looked at Bourne. He had no memory of how he came to the building where Bourne lived.Bourne's jaw was tightly tightened, he didn't look at him, because he was still angry with him, the driver held an umbrella and let him walk to the eaves, and then saluted and said goodbye.

Bourne's back disappeared, and the driver drove away. Except for the sound of rain, there was no sound in the world, and it was as dead as a dead world.

Ji Xiaoxue covered her face, hot tears slid down gently, he lost Bourne's love and respect, as well as his care and tenderness, so he would not look at him again, let alone pay attention to whether he was dripping wet or not. Sitting wet in front of his house.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and he was shivering from the cold. When the last umbrella was propped on his head, an unexpected person appeared in front of his eyes.

With a cold face, Bourne yelled at him: "What the hell are you going to do? Ji Xiaoxue, haven't you tortured me enough? Why are you sitting in front of my house and being drenched in the rain like this?"

He couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain. These blurred Bourne's figure in his eyes, but they couldn't erase Bourne's body that was also splashed by the rain. His clothes must be what ordinary people can only buy with a month's salary. Like his cheap clothes, it's completely out of shape with the wet.

He came for him.

Bourne shoved the umbrella roughly into his hand, and said in a tormented voice, "I don't want to see you again! Get out of here immediately, Ji Xiaoxue."

His hands were so weak that he couldn't hold the umbrella tightly. The umbrella fell to the ground and was blown by the strong wind, scattered like bitter and desolate flowers in the rain.

He didn't want to be in such pain anymore, but he didn't know how to avoid this pain, even if he pushed Bourne away, the pain would only get deeper and heavier, so heavy that he almost suffocated.

"I...I don't know...how to admit...feeling for you, it is very scary to me, I would rather die than...don't want to admit..."

Ji Xiaoxue's pale face was almost as transparent as ice and snow, letting tears wash away the side he couldn't admit, the whisper was so weak, but it sounded in his heart like a car hitting a wall, his world was shattering.

Bourne's face remained stern, but under the heavy rain, his whole body was wet, just like him, he was still here waiting for him.

Ji Xiaoxue took a deep breath, the cold air made his lungs feel like they were about to freeze, and it seemed like he was drowning in the sea water, but this time, he waved his hands and said what was in his heart in resistance, not letting his past The dark depths sank.

"But... losing you, it's better than..." Quan gushing tears collapsed, he stretched out his hand to touch the noble prince who just walked out of a picture book, he didn't disappear, just looked at him with cold and arrogant eyes, he was completely Abandoned Shou sobbed: "But it is more painful than death...!"
