Second Hand Love Letter - Chapter 55
The corridor of the apartment was cut off from the pattering rain outside, as if there was no sound.
The warm yellow light fell on Shi Ran’s indifferent face, which did not soften her expression at all. Instead, it was more like today’s weather, which was cold from beginning to end.
Song Yi felt that Shi Ran was unwelcome to her, but she still managed to smile from several places on her face, and her voice was as sweet as usual: “Shi Ran, good morning.”
Shi Ran looked at Song Yi blankly, and asked coldly, “How did you know where I live?”
“I call you and you don’t answer, send private messages to you and you don’t reply, so I can only come to you.” Song Yi answered the question in a wrong way, skipped the question and put her hand up A box of delicate desserts was shown to Shi Ran, and he said, “Let’s not talk about that, I bought you your favorite dessert from Nagasakizhai, do you want to eat some?”
This snack is Shi Ran’s favorite kind. Because of the troublesome queue, Song Yi would never buy it for her.
Today, she finally offered to buy it for her, but Shi Ran was unmoved, she just stood at the door, blocking Song Yi’s thought of going in: “I’m sorry, I don’t want to eat, you come to me What’s the matter?”
Song Yi put down her hand in embarrassment, nodded and said, “Yes, it is about the apology statement. I want to discuss it with you again.”
Song Yi spent a lot of effort and inquired about many talents to get Shi Ran’s current residence.
She came here for no other purpose, just to intercede.
When such a thing happened, she didn’t dare to go to Chen Yinbing at all, and she was completely behind Chen Yinbing’s back when she took the illustrator to find another way out.
When Chen Ruoyu gave up on gongbi painting at the beginning, Chen Yinbing’s angry look at home was still in front of her eyes. Song Yi knows the stakes the most. She knows that if she goes to Chen Yinbing, the consequence will only be that she will be abandoned by him. Even if she is forgiven, her status in the Chen family will not be as good as before.
The Chen family is the last support for her and her mother, and she cannot easily shake it.
All she can do now is to hold this matter tightly to the Chen family, and the apology statement to SaRah will be her biggest hidden danger.
But Shi Ran broke all of Song Yilai’s previous illusions with one sentence: “I think my lawyer has told you very clearly. I don’t think there is anything else I can talk about with you.”
Song Yi refused to obey, and showed weakness again: “Shi Ran, I know that I made a mistake in this matter, I shouldn’t plagiarize, and I shouldn’t directly stack pictures, but everything I did started from you. .”
Shi Ran frowned, “From me? It’s cloudy now, but it’s still daylight.”
Song Yi brought up old things again, showing a particularly upright attitude: “Have you forgotten? You asked me to do things that suit me about the class reunion after the year. I think since I really don’t have any skills in fine brushwork With such a talent as you, I just wanted to try illustration, draw illustrations, and receive manuscripts, which can be considered as planning for my own future.”
Shi Ran didn’t believe it, and said coldly, “I want you to be down-to-earth, not plagiarism.”
“Plagiarism”, the two words that she had heard countless times in the past two days, crossed Song Yi’s ears again and again.
She was holding the bag in her hand, and her voice felt like she was about to cry: “But if I apologize, I will not be able to get along in this line of work at all, and no Party A is willing to cooperate with me.”
After yesterday’s incident, Song Yi’s first thought was not to apologize, and then she changed her name and started receiving the manuscript again.
But she made too much trouble, and now basically no one dares to use her. She thought that she would be able to escape by changing her name, but she didn’t think that she had just negotiated with a few parties last afternoon, and that night they broke up as if they had made an appointment. This morning, her last party A’s father also abandoned her.
She didn’t want to bother to ask why.
They also kindly told her that their company found that she had a previous record of plagiarism, so they would not cooperate after the evaluation.
But the apology statement has not been released, and he has changed his account.
How did the other party know?
Song Yi felt as if someone she couldn’t see was chasing her, and she wanted her to pay the price.
This kind of fear made her want to escape, made her panic and scared, so she could only come to Shi Ran to ask for forgiveness.
After all, SaRah has forgiven her, and the black hand she can’t see will not chase after her. She still has a chance to turn over in the freelance illustrator profession.
Song Yi: “Shi Ran, just look at the relationship we have been together for so many years, please forgive me. Just say a few words for me on Weibo, just a few words, it won’t delay you very much. Long-term.”
Shi Ran felt that what he knew about Song Yi in the past six months was more than what he knew when he was with her in the past seven years.
Throwing away the skin that was blinded in front of him, the ugliness of the person in front of him was vividly displayed, and the apology when he came to the door was also purposeful.
Shi Ran: “Song Yi, our relationship over the years has long been on paper, and it has long been exhausted on the homework you asked me to draw for you and the food you bought in the rain. .”
“There is no relationship between you and me.”
Shi Ran’s indifferent attitude made Song Yi feel a huge gap, she endured and clenched her palms and said, “Shi Ran, I really didn’t mean to plagiarize, it’s just that I look at your paintings really kindly. , I feel very familiar, I can’t help but want to get closer and have it.”
“You know, in the seven or eight years we’ve known each other, we’ve been together almost day and night. I feel the most familiar to you, and I can’t help but love your paintings…”
Since pleading doesn’t work, use affectionate affection.
Song Yi could tell her what Shi Ran wanted to hear in the two years they were together.
But what you don’t want, no matter how good it is, you don’t want it anymore.
Shi Ran sneered and looked down at Song Yi, who was a head shorter than himself: “Aiwu Jiwu? Like?”
Shi Ran shook his head, his eyes were even colder than today’s rain: “No, this is not your truth, Song Yi.”
“You just see that things can’t be turned around, and you want to ask for a rhetoric to retreat.”
“The reason is always attached after the incident. As a result, I can give hundreds of reasons, but the fact is in front of you. If you copied my painting and violated my rights, you must publicly apologize.”
Song Yixin froze for a moment, Shi Ran’s words were so straightforward that she put the hypocritical her directly between the two.
She was reluctant: “But didn’t you also paint for me in the past?”
After talking for a long time, the man changed another way of saying, and he was still entangled in going around.
Shi Ran was a little annoyed and wanted to close the door and let Song Yi fend for itself, but heard footsteps coming from the corridor.
The elevator door closed silently when Shi Ran was not paying attention, and she was walking down the floor where she was.
A slender figure walked towards this side holding a cardboard box that didn’t seem to be heavy, and his deep eyes could see clearly even in the dim environment.
Shi Ran knew that it was Chen Ruoyu who was here, so she felt at ease.
“In the past, Shi Ran painted for you voluntarily, and she would not make any demands from you. But this time, you plagiarized Shi Ran’s work without her knowledge and exchanged it for monetary benefits. The legal bottom line has been touched.”
Chen Ruoyu said word by word, Song Yi didn’t know whether she was intimidated by Chen Ruoyu’s aura or frightened by her words.
It wasn’t until she watched Chen Ruoyu stop at the door of Shi Ran’s house that she couldn’t believe her eyes and asked, “Ayu, how are you…”
“My room’s water pipes are aging and flooded, so I came to Shi Ran to stay here.” Chen Ruoyu replied calmly, and added: “When you came to her residence when Shi Ran was unknown, you were harassing her. Let Shi Ran forgive you, it will only make your behavior more serious, we now have the right to call the police and file a lawsuit against you in the court.”
The expression on Song Yi’s face was stagnant, and she added: “I, I just came to Shi Ran to tell the story, how can it be considered harassment?”
Chen Ruoyu didn’t say a word, and the words in her eyes were enough to make Song Yi feel guilty and cold.
She held the thing in her hand like this, skipping Song Yi to enter the room, but she didn’t want something to fall out of the box in her hand at this moment.
“Clap.”
Shi Ran didn’t see how this thing came out at all, but the finger cuff box that she had used many times really fell directly between her and Song Yi.
Bright, obscure but straightforward.
Song Yi seemed to realize something and bent over to pick it up to check, but Shi Ran took it in his hand.
The shock just received has not yet been digested, Song Yi stared at the box in Shi Ran’s hand: “Shi Ran, this is…”
Shi Ran looked at her indifferently, and put the box in his hand on the cabinet behind him: “This is my freedom.”
The lights in the corridor hit Shi Ran’s door straight, and the oversized T-shirt exposed half of Shi Ran’s shoulders because of the movement just now.
The skin on the neck was no longer covered by the cloth, and it showed Song Yi an unspoken mark.
Shi Ran’s long messy hair seemed to be written on depression, and the figure of Chen Ruoyu walking in the room behind her made Song Yi feel extremely dazzling.
From being indifferently rejected by Shi Ran, then to Chen Ruoyu’s warning to herself for Shi Ran, and then to the hickey on Shi Ran’s shoulder.
The three consecutive shocks made Song Yi’s hopes piled up this morning like glass, shattering all over the floor with a clatter.
Shi Ran just stood in the center of Song Yi’s line of sight, with a beautiful body written with all kinds of amorous feelings.
The memories of the past are like a flood that has opened the floodgates rushing towards Song Yi, trying to drown her. In the past, Shi Ran was unconditionally good to her and her indifference to herself these days made her feel suffocated.
Song Yi regretted it.
On this rainy morning, she felt the pain of lovelorn and stagnation very truly.
At this time, the elevator stopped at Shi Ran’s floor again. Manager Wang of the property downstairs walked out with a few people pulling Chen Ruoyu’s suitcase: “Miss Chen, your belongings.”
Chen Ruoyu looked at the people in the property, but her face was not as calm as when she was downstairs just now: “I remember that there is an access control mechanism downstairs in the apartment, why can people without access control cards go upstairs.”
Manager Wang listened to Chen Ruoyu’s questioning and looked at Song Yi, the only person he didn’t know among the three: “Miss, do you have an access card for our apartment?”
Song Yi did not, hesitantly said, “I…”
Chen Ruoyu was not in the mood to wait for Song Yi’s explanation, and said in a cold voice, “Manager Wang, I can now reasonably doubt the professionalism of your property duty personnel and file a complaint with the company.”
Manager Wang panicked instantly. If a resident of Chen Ruoyu’s level complained, he could completely take over his job: “Miss Chen is really sorry, this time it was indeed our property that was negligent, I’m really sorry.”
As he said that, he ordered Song Yi to evict the guests with some politeness: “Miss, if you are not a resident of our apartment, please leave with us, otherwise we will call the police.”
Song Yi came here today, nothing was resolved, and she was not willing to leave at all.
She hurriedly looked at Shi Ran pitifully, and wanted to ask her for some help: “Shi Ran…”
Shi Ran’s lips were tightly closed, and she watched the girl from another property ask Song Yi to leave without saying a word.
Song Yi had no choice but to follow the girl from the property into the elevator.
Manager Wang watched Song Yi leave, and smiled apologetically to Chen Ruoyu: “I’m really sorry for this matter, Miss Chen. We have waived Miss Shi’s property fee for this quarter as compensation for the dereliction of duty. Please reconsider the complaint. Just a moment, can you? “
Manager Wang’s apology was very sincere, but Chen Ruoyu looked at Shi Ran indifferently.
Shi Ran knew that this matter could not be a monster business, and that it was not difficult for a worker to be a worker, so he said, “Let’s change it to her parking space rent.”
Manager Wang of course agreed, and agreed immediately: “Yes.”
Then he looked at Chen Ruoyu anxiously.
Chen Ruoyu reminded lightly, “This is not an example.”
“Yes, yes, we will definitely step up prevention when we go back, strictly enforce import and export order, and prevent such incidents from happening again.” Manager Wang nodded again and again, “Thank you very much for your understanding, Miss Chen, let’s move your things in for you. “
“No need.” Chen Ruoyu refused. She looked at these unfamiliar strangers and said, “Just put it at the door.”
As soon as the voice fell, Manager Wang quickly ordered someone to put Chen Ruoyu’s suitcase at the door.
The elevator went down and up again. After the property staff left, Chen Ruoyu carried the luggage into the entrance with Shi Ran’s help.
The heavy room was closed with a muffled sound.
Shi Ran pushed Chen Ruoyu against the door, touched the box on the cabinet at the entrance, and interrogated, “You did it on purpose.”
Chen Ruoyu remained calm, and explained in a light voice, “I didn’t put it away.”
Shi Ran glanced at the box that Chen Ruoyu put on the island, and punctured it, “You didn’t put such a big box away.”
I don’t know if it’s because she has been with Shi Ran for a long time and has been infected, or she is just like this, but because of Shi Ran’s existence, she has released her dark side.
Chen Ruoyu said “um” without any guilt, and her eyes fell on Shi Ran’s open shoulder.
Her fingers gently lifted Shi Ran’s neckline and helped her put the collar back on her neck. Eye pupils, movements, and even his voice are possessive: “Don’t wear such clothes next time you open the door.”
