Every Time I Wake Up, I Become A Suspect
Chapter 173

“Sister Yaya? Sister Yaya?”

Amidst a series of calls, Zhou Ya blinked and looked at the people around her in a daze.

What I heard was some loud music, and the scene was dimly lit.

She rubbed the ice-cold glass filled with amber wine soup twice with her fingers, and her mind, which had been confused by alcohol before, barely sobered up a bit.

Stripped from some messy memories, Zhou Yafu looked at the little girl sitting next to him at this time. The girl was sweet-looking, with long dark brown hair hanging down, and she was looking at her questioningly.

She suddenly remembered that it had been more than half a year since the case of Ding Tianlang’s murder was closed.

Several months have passed since the soul of unknown origin left his body.

Thinking about it this way, thanks to the fact that the murderer Zhao Xuan bribed another person to drive her into the hospital, otherwise it is unknown whether she can break free from the haze of that nightmare.

Because of Ding Tianlang’s accident, Zhou Ya’s Zhongyuan Design Company was really in turmoil for a while.

Fortunately, the strong strength of the old design company is there, and the case was only caused by the private emotional entanglements of the employees, and had nothing to do with the company’s business, so it was passed safely.

During the period, we experienced a wave of resignation of some old employees, and recruited a group of new employees. Everything seemed to be the same as before the incident.

After careful consideration, Zhou Ya finally chose to stay in Zhongyuan Design and continue to work.

Although her friend Duan Grace could not accept the fact that Zhao Xuan was the murderer for a while, she resigned and went to another company to change her environment, but this did not affect her decision.

The soul that came inexplicably and left inexplicably taught her a lot of truths.

The most practical of these is that as long as one is strong enough, all the difficulties he is facing now will be easily solved.

She has worked in Zhongyuan Design for so many years, and the company’s treatment has always been far ahead in the industry. The boss is friendly and friendly, and she also has a relatively fixed client group…

Leaving the company hastily, it seems that what awaits her is only the pain from the beginning, which is not fair.

It wasn’t Zhou Ya who did the wrong thing, so why should she bear it?

And if she stays, all she has to face is some private gossip, as long as she doesn’t care, others don’t want to hurt her.

Sure enough, after gritting his teeth through the first two months, the company gradually quieted down.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ya quickly collected her thoughts again, and smiled at the little girl who called her

just now : “Huh? What’s the matter?” Cheng Xinlei.

“Sister Yaya, are you a bit too drunk? How about I ask the waiter to serve a bowl of sober up?” The little girl looked worried.

Shaking her head and politely rejecting her kindness, Zhou Ya expressed that she could hold on, then raised her eyes to look at the few colleagues who were fighting for the microphone on the small stage not far ahead, howling like ghosts and wolves.

Because her design team had just delivered a big order, Party A’s father expressed his satisfaction and paid off the balance in one lump sum, so the company specially rewarded some bonuses, and the whole team came out to hold a celebration banquet.

She smiled and raised the wine glass in her hand towards that side. She just brought it to her mouth to take a sip, but was interrupted by a question from the side.

“Sister Yaya, I heard from someone today that you are going to be promoted to department head soon?” Cheng Xinlei said.

He asked cautiously, with some curiosity and less obvious ambition in his eyes: “Then I have to congratulate Sister Yaya in advance. If you are promoted to supervisor, I will be lucky!” “Xinlei, you just

now Work, I may not understand a lot of things.”

Zhou Ya pursed her lips, the expression on her face was nothing special, but her tone was vaguely alienated: “Some words should not be spread indiscriminately, do more, watch more and talk less, forever There will be no mistakes, huh?”

The little girl is a rookie brought out by her, she has the ability, but the direction of her efforts is a bit off.

But she is just talking about it, sometimes it may not be of any benefit to others, and it may even offend them.

We are adults and we have to take responsibility for ourselves.

Cheng Xinlei could sense the hidden meaning in her words, she looked a little embarrassing.

Just when the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, a man rushed down from the stage. He looked about in his early thirties and looked ordinary.

The man and Zhou Ya have worked together for many years, so they are naturally less restrained when getting along, and now that they are alcoholic, they can speak even more freely: “Xiao Cheng, why don’t you go up and sing a song?” ?”

Then before Cheng Xinlei could explain, he turned his head and looked at Zhou Ya: “I didn’t mean you, you are too mean!

” It’s been a long time, and you’re going to be the head of the department soon!”

After the man’s loud voice yelled, Zhou Ya felt her temples throbbing, and the few songs on the stage stopped singing, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed very tense for a while. Quiet.

The boss of the design department had indeed talked to her a few days ago. Although there is no impenetrable wall in this world, everyone has a clear mind.

Before the dust settles, it is rare for someone to speak out in such a straightforward manner, after all, there are no absolutes in the world.

Tiredly pinching the center of her brows, Zhou Ya said lightly, “Yang Peng, don’t…”

Unexpectedly, the words that had not been spoken were interrupted by the other party again, and the man drank another big gulp of beer, and then said with emotion: “Your ability is obvious to all. Regarding this job adjustment, I am definitely I don’t have any opinions!”

“It’s only Ding Tianlang’s idiot who can’t see gold and jade…I picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon, and I have a potential stock like you…” “

Yang Peng, you must be drinking too much! What nonsense are you talking about?!” Another female colleague hurriedly scolded her when she saw that she was in a bad mood.

Others also stepped forward one after another, and dragged them to a distant bathroom in a mess.

Normally, everyone in the company would discuss this matter in private, but in front of the parties involved, it would not be very pleasant to say this.

“Zhou Ya, don’t take it to heart. Yang Peng doesn’t drink very well, and he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” The female colleague explained a few words in a restrained manner, then turned around and left with resentment in her mouth He muttered: “I really need to clean up, I’m going to slap him to vent my anger!”

After a while, all the people around him dispersed.

Zhou Ya clenched her back molars, and simply raised her head and drank the remaining half glass of wine in the glass in front of her. The spicy feeling rushed from her stomach to her forehead, making her feel like she could cry in the next second .

But she can’t show weakness, at least she can’t show her unbearable side in front of the company’s people.

In the chaos, Cheng Xinlei just sat there without moving. Although she was new to the job, there were many rumors in the market, so she naturally knew about Ding Tianlang.

She moved to the side, stretched out her right hand and patted Zhou Ya’s back lightly, comforting: “Sister Yaya, it’s been half a year, you should come out too.” “

We You’re a victim, and it’s not your turn to feel guilty.”

“Thank you.” The cocktail with strong vodka had a lot of stamina, Zhou Ya felt a little uncomfortable, got up unsteadily, picked up the bag in the corner and went out Walk.

Cheng Xinlei wanted to follow, but when she saw her indifferent profile, she immediately lost her courage and sat there without daring to move.

Because she is fairly familiar with the manager of this music restaurant, Zhou Ya kept the meal expenses there after she lingered to the front desk: “Let them have fun, and you can transfer the rest of the money to me when the time comes.

” The head is a woman in her forties, and she is a little worried about her state: “How about I call a car for you?”

Zhou Ya thought for a few seconds with the remaining rationality, but did not say anything to refuse, and then nodded with difficulty. Sitting on a chair by the side of the bar, pressing the corner of his forehead against the cold glass, he closed his eyes in a daze.

The light at the front desk is very dim, and there are many people coming and going. If you don’t look carefully, it’s hard to notice that there is a big living person hidden in the corner.

In a daze, Zhou Ya heard a familiar voice, barely opened her eyes and looked over, it was Cheng Xinlei who had just come out of the bathroom.

Standing next to her was a senior female colleague in the same group. Maybe they felt that Zhou Ya had left, so the two were discussing something in an exaggerated tone.

“Sister Yaya’s face was so stinky just now… I almost thought she was going to hit someone with her hand. I went up to comfort her, but she gave me a slap in the face.” Cheng Xinlei sounded very aggrieved.

“It’s good to get used to it. It’s spread in our company that Zhao Xuan was offended because of her bad temper…it’s the one who murdered her, and they wanted to rob her boyfriend.” The female colleague responded, her tone full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction. Too obvious gloating.

“If she hadn’t had a problem with her life, how could Ding Tianlang… If she didn’t reflect on herself, she might not be able to get married in this life. The reputation of being unlucky has already spread in the industry. I see how long she can be proud. ?”

“Whether the supervisor is not in charge, as long as the company’s appointment is not announced, everything is unknown! It will be known to everyone tonight, and if it is someone else, I see where she will put her face!

” As the two of them walked away gradually, their voices gradually became indistinct until they could no longer hear anything.

Zhou Ya covered her mouth, feeling a little nauseous and feeling cold.

This world always seems to be full of weird discrimination against capable women. She is not picky at work, but her private life must be forced to unfold in front of everyone and let them judge her.

It’s just a blind, heart-blind love affair.

Holding the bar with her hands, she stood up and wobbled back to the booth where her colleagues gathered together. Then, under the surprised gaze of the big guy, she picked up a bottle of wine on the table without saying a word. .

Smiling, Zhou Ya put the bottle of wine upside down on the senior female colleague’s head, and also gave some to Cheng Xinlei who was at the side.

If she had encountered such a situation before, she would probably have tolerated it, but now…I always feel that the soul left a little bit of courage in her body, not much, but enough for her to protect herself.

Then, amidst two high-pitched and uncontrollable screams, she turned around and prepared to leave.

It wasn’t until she got out of this music restaurant that Zhou Ya stood in front of the door and exhaled forcefully. The cool night breeze blew, which made her not so clear mind even more confused.

I was planning to go back to the store to ask where the car the store manager called was, but I didn’t expect to be caught off guard, but I bumped into another person head-on.

Clutching her sore nose, she apologized: “I’m sorry…”

But the other party said in confusion, “Designer Zhou?”

She raised her head in astonishment, and Zhou Ya stared innocently. With his eyes, he finally saw the person’s appearance clearly. He has handsome features and a gentle temperament. He is the person in charge of Party A who has just delivered all the final payment to their project team.

“Mr. Lin.”

After the other party nodded slightly to say hello, her brain suddenly short-circuited, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and opened her mouth: “Can you take me home   ?

“

Early on the second day.

Zhou Ya stood in the tea room yawning, looking tired, but her complexion was unexpectedly good.

She unconsciously stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, and at this moment, she wanted to strangle herself to death.

Pursing her lips vigorously, Zhou Ya could only comfort herself. For adults, a one-night relationship is normal.

Besides, in the morning, she and Boss Lin already had a tacit understanding, and after leaving that door, the two of them formally retreated to an unrelated relationship.

She patted her forehead helplessly, the consequence of being drunk was a bit unbearable for her.

At this moment, the door of the tea room was pushed open from the outside, and the two colleagues from the school team who came in were obviously taken aback when they saw her there, and immediately greeted her warmly.

One of them with a ponytail hesitated again and again, and finally couldn’t hold back and said: “Zhou Design, I heard that when you two teams went out to celebrate last night, you severely punished Ma Xiangshan and Cheng Xinlei?

” You are so awesome, many people in the company have long been displeased with these two gossips, so they can be considered as venting their anger for us!” The other continued, with an admiring tone.

Twitching the corner of her mouth in embarrassment, Zhou Ya mumbled perfunctorily, and quickly returned to her desk with a coffee cup in her hand.

During the period, I also obtained some new information from chatting with other colleagues. For example, the sleazy senior female colleagues Ma Xiangshan and Cheng Xinlei both asked for sick leave today, trying to win the sympathy of the entire company with the image of a weak person, which caused everyone to express their gratitude to her. cast aside.

Regarding this, Zhou Ya twitched the corners of her lips comfortably, and didn’t care much about everyone’s comments on this matter.

Even though all the people in front of her are approving that kind of venting and radical approach, but she knows in her heart that there will be some tricks behind Bao Buqi’s back.

On this ordinary afternoon, Zhongyuan Design held a staff meeting, and the boss personally announced at the meeting that Zhou Ya would be appointed as the head of the design department.

After the meeting, her desk was completely surrounded, and the congratulations from her colleagues pierced her ears, and she could only respond to them one by one with a smile.

From that day on, Zhou Ya never heard the rumors before.

Look, this is the reality of people, as long as you become good and strong enough, all the unhappiness will disappear.

In the next period of time, Zhou Ya concentrated all her energies on her work, and the effect of such hard work was obvious. The performance of the design department this month was very good.

Until…until Zhongyuan Design received another commission from the head office of Lin.

Meeting Lin Jianian again was at the preliminary design exchange meeting. The two of them looked natural, professional, and flawless.

It seems that the close contact more than a month ago did not cause them any trouble in any sense.

Because there was a satisfactory cooperation before, the finalization of the plan this time was also very smooth. Zhou Ya personally worked on it, and the other party still expressed their satisfaction with the finished product.

The last business-related meeting was at Lin Jianian’s company that Zhou Ya took people to. Just in time to get off work, Party A sincerely sent out a dinner invitation, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

When she woke up from that strange yet familiar big bed again the next day, she showed an expected expression. After all, it was not the first time she had experienced it, and her reaction this time was much calmer.

She and Lin Jianian even sat together and had a simple breakfast in a friendly manner.

In this way, they began to maintain this strange relationship tacitly with each other.

Occasionally Zhou Ya would come to Lin Jianian’s residence to stay overnight, but the frequency was not high, only about five or six times a month.

In her spare time, she also thinks, and it is not an option to go on like this.

The fear that Dan Ding Tianlang had caused her and hadn’t completely dissipated undoubtedly made it difficult for her to start a healthy relationship between men and women again.

Besides, Lin Jianian never seemed to show that he wanted to change the relationship between the two of them, so every time he thought of this, Zhou Ya would avoid it and forget about it.

The days go by.

However, Zhou Ya and Lin Jianian became inexplicably stable. Apart from sleeping in each other’s arms for a few nights a month, they would even go out to eat at noon, and unconsciously, the frequency became higher and higher.

As if invisible, Lin Jianian was nibbling away at her life step by step without a trace.

Zhou Ya, who didn’t realize it, didn’t pay too much attention to it, until the reappearance of the soul that once lived in her body for a short time suddenly broke her increasingly peaceful life.

In fact, the case Jiang Tianyu mentioned had little to do with her.

But to express her gratitude, Zhou Ya still wanted to do her best to do something, but she went back and forth, and the only thing she could do was to take part of the time every day to go to the hospital as an escort.

The time with her benefactor always flies very quickly. Taking this opportunity, she also met a few women who were ‘same sickness’ with her.

Probably because they shared secrets that needed to be kept together, Zhou Ya and the others quickly became acquainted, and they even created a small WeChat group in private, called the ‘Alliance of Worrying Women’.

Everyone is of different ages and occupations, but because of Jiang Tianyu’s help, they all have a brand new life.

This afternoon, it was her and Guan Miaomiao’s turn to come to the hospital to accompany her.

When night fell, after the two settled Jiang Tianyu, they both found an excuse to leave the ward.

While waiting for the elevator in the corridor, Guan Miaomiao noticed that she was looking at her mobile phone frequently, and after a clear smile, she said lightly, “Your boyfriend came to pick you up again?”

Zhou who heard the question Ya was taken aback: “What are you talking about…?”

“It’s the one with the license plate number 777. Officer Jiang has only been in the hospital for a few days. I’ve seen it three times. If you bump into it with other people, then More times.”

She subconsciously wanted to refute: “You misunderstood, that’s not a boyfriend…”

Guan Miaomiao seemed to have guessed the next words.

The words interrupted: “No? You should just lie to yourself.”

Zhou Ya was stunned. After bidding farewell to Guan Miaomiao downstairs in the inpatient department, she got into Lin Jianian’s car in silence and maintained this state All the way back to the company.

Unhappily waving goodbye to the man, she reluctantly crawled back to the office of the design department.

Facing the computer screen with a blank expression, Zhou Ya frowned to suppress the panic in her heart, and a sense of uncertainty made her want to shrink back even more.

“Huh? Director Zhou, it’s so late and you haven’t left yet?”

Just as she was thinking, a female colleague who had just finished working overtime happened to pass by and asked.

“Ah? Oh, there is still a plan to change. Be careful when you go home.” Zhou Ya came back to her senses and replied with a smile. Then she suddenly thought of something, and her expression became a little hesitant.

In the end, she gritted her teeth, and said cruelly: “Well… what do you think my emotional situation is…” The

female colleague didn’t expect her to ask such a personal question, and she was stunned for several times. Seconds later, she scratched her head in a daze: “Director Zhou, are you… having trouble with your boyfriend?”

Late night can make people depressed, and she is also a woman, so she fully understands the desire to talk out without warning. .

“So everyone knows that I have a boyfriend?” Zhou Ya almost bit off her tongue.

The female colleague nodded affirmatively: “That’s right, isn’t it Mr. Lin from remote technology?

” It makes sense.”

Listening to the earnest and sincere persuasion of the female colleague, Zhou Ya thanked her with a complicated expression, and then watched her leave the company.

After such a long relationship, she is the only one who is deceiving herself?

It was only then that Zhou Ya realized that Lin Jianian had indeed invaded her life in an all-round way since no one knew when, and even the surrounding air was vaguely filled with the smell of a man.

Taking two deep breaths, she clicked on the dialog box on the phone screen, looked at the familiar avatar, and trembling slightly sent a message.

“Do you want to consider getting together formally?”

Boom, boom, boom!

Because of the tension, she could even hear her own heartbeat.

“Okay.”

A male voice suddenly sounded from behind, making Zhou Ya’s scalp tingle instantly, she turned her head in disbelief, and saw Lin Jianian standing leaning against the door.

The man raised the supper in his hand, as if to explain why it appeared here: “When you were in the car, you looked a little upset. I thought you were hungry.” After all, it seems that she will be inexplicable when her stomach is empty He has already memorized this little temperament of losing his temper.

Puckering her mouth, Zhou Ya sat there and raised her head slightly to look at the approaching figure, as if she was acting coquettishly or complaining: “You want me to talk about this kind of thing?” She stretched out her hand and hugged the person

directly into his arms, Lin Jianian smiled and said nothing.

Such a timid person, if he had no patience, this person would have been scared away.

Fortunately, all the waiting is worth it.
