On a cold night, light snow fell in the sky over the capital. On the viaduct, a car was parked on the side of the road. The man stood beside the bridge, drinking beer and looking at the neon traffic under the bridge.
In the distance, a sports car drove over, and the dazzling lights shone on the man. A woman got out of the car and walked over with a smile. In the shadow of the lamp, the woman's long hair is flying in the cold wind like a dream, and her smile is as trance-like as a dream shadow.
"Hanlin." Fang Yun walked to Qin Hanlin with a smile, "You didn't expect that I would find you, did you?"
Qin Hanlin put his hand on the guardrail, holding the beer can and turned his head. He just smiled and said nothing.
"I'm looking for someone now, but it's really rare that I can't find someone. After all, foreign courses are not for nothing." Fang Yun smiled, with a different kind of charm in the lamp shadow.
"It's good that I didn't learn in vain. Miss Fang can finally show her ambitions." Qin Hanlin smiled and raised his head and took a sip of beer.
Fang Yun's smile faded, but he did not move his eyes away from Qin Hanlin's face, "Hanlin, I thought you might have let go of the matter after so many years. After all, it was so many years ago, and we were both You are young, but we are all adults now and should be much more mature.”
Qin Hanlin raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Yun for a while, smiling deeply, "Oh? Miss Fang thinks your behavior tonight is very mature?"
Fang Yun choked, then laughed angrily, with a helpless tone, "Can't you just try to flatter me? I've met you twice since I came back to China, so I feel very lucky, so I want to talk to you. "
Qin Hanlin stared at Fang Yun, his eyes deepening, "It's really rare that you can't find someone if you want to find someone now. Miss Fang, my car is parked in front of the bar."
Fang Yun was stunned, a little embarrassed, but then he lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips with a wry smile, "It's still the same as before, nothing can escape your eyes. But I remember that you used to like me playing with you like this... "
"Didn't I tell you that my taste has changed a lot over the years?" Qin Hanlin smiled playfully, but his eyes were unusually cold.
Fang Yun looked at him for a while, "Are you still angry with me about what happened back then?"
"Shouldn't I be angry?" Qin Hanlin raised his eyebrows, but his eyes became darker.
"Hanlin, we were all too young back then. We were only eighteen years old at that time. I was really confused about our future. I really didn't dare to make a decision, so..."
"So you can pretend to promise me, then bring the Fang family here, and let the Jiang family make a fuss about it, almost convicting me of kidnapping, and even dragging the Qin family into trouble? Didn't I tell you before? Have you said it before? This is a matter between the two of us. If it happens, both of us are responsible, and no one can make a fuss about it. I have taken into account all the reactions of all parties afterwards. I missed you." Qin Hanlin laughed at himself.
Fang Yun lowered his eyes and frowned slightly, with a look of regret in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Hanlin. I was very scared at the time. I have never let my parents down. I was afraid that if I left like this, they would be very upset." Disappointed. I don’t know how to face their blame... Don’t you think our thoughts back then were childish and selfish?”
"Indeed." Qin Hanlin shrugged and smiled, not as if he was being sarcastic.
Fang Yun raised his head, his eyes lit up with life.
"Childishness and selfishness only belong to the young. We are adults now. It's better not to make the same mistake again." Qin Hanlin said, drank the beer, opened the door, threw it into the car, and got in. .
"Hanlin!" Seeing Qin Hanlin about to close the car door, Fang Yun walked over, "It's just because we are adults now that we have more choices, isn't it?"
"You still don't understand." Qin Hanlin sat in the car and looked at the eager woman outside. "What happened back then, I never blamed you for choosing the family. You are right, we were all too young back then, and I couldn't give you anything. What, so you're confused, you're scared. It's not your problem, it's my problem."
Fang Yun looked at Qin Hanlin blankly, but saw the man smiling self-deprecatingly.
"But since then, I no longer like to be deceived." Qin Hanlin smiled and looked at Fang Yun, "But on this point, you haven't changed at all after ten years."
Fang Yun's face turned pale. Was he talking about her encounter with him tonight? She just, just wanted to see him... Because of what happened back then, the two had no contact for ten years. She didn't know if he still hated her, and she was afraid that they would be embarrassed when they met, so...
But before she could explain, Qin Hanlin said: "Yes, we have more choices now, so when I choose, that person can have many shortcomings, including being unwomanly and having a bad temper. These are all fine, but she As long as you have one advantage, that is being honest and not lying."
"..." Fang Yun was stunned outside the car and unknowingly let go of the door. Why did she feel so uneasy when she heard this
"Stop playing tricks like chance encounters in the future. Remember we are all adults." Qin Hanlin reached out to close the car door, started the car, and drove away slowly.
Fang Yun stood on the bridge, watching the man's car drive away, the cold wind blowing on her face, making her pale.
But in the car that was driving far away, the light was dim, and the neon flashing light and shadow passed over the man's handsome face. The color could not be distinguished clearly, and the atmosphere was inexplicably depressing. The car seemed to be driving aimlessly in the night. When it stopped, Qin Hanlin was stunned. Ahead, a military academy lay silent in the night.
After staring blankly at the four characters "Jingcheng Military Academy" in front of him for a long time, Qin Hanlin shook his head and smiled.
How did you get here...
He immediately turned the steering wheel to leave, but the car drove slowly and finally stopped. After sitting in the car for a long time, the man turned his head and looked at the campus. At this time, it seems... the lights haven't been turned off yet
Somehow he took out his cell phone. When the word "man-in-law" was displayed on the phone, Qin Hanlin smiled and sent a text message, "Are you sleeping?"
In the university dormitory, four girls were tidying up and getting ready to go to bed. When Zhang Ruman's cell phone lit up, she was about to take the basin to wash up. When she picked it up and looked at it, she immediately frowned and threw the cell phone to her bed, preparing to leave.
The phone lit up again. Zhang Ruman walked back impatiently and opened it. There were only six words in it, "I'm at your school gate."
In the car outside the school, Qin Hanlin stared at the screen of his mobile phone with a smile on his lips. He just asked if he was asleep. With this girl's temperament, she would probably ignore him. He said that at the gate of her school, she would probably pay attention to him, but the content would probably be the word "get out".
Sure enough, soon, the screen lit up - but he guessed wrong, there were three words on it.
"Get out of here!"
Qin Hanlin stared at these three words, lowered his eyes, smiled, and sent it, "You dislike me so much?"
The other side responded quickly, with only two short words, "Disgusted!"
Qin Hanlin stared at those two words, lowered his head and chuckled, but as soon as he laughed twice, he frowned, turned pale, covered his stomach, and a surprised look flashed in his eyes.
He had stomach pain that he hadn't had in years. He thought his old problem was gone...
He didn't look at the car at all. He knew that there was no stomach medicine in the car. Because he hadn't been sick for many years, he was not prepared at all. Qin Hanlin turned off his cell phone, started the car, and wanted to find a nearby pharmacy. Not long after the car drove out, a sports car slowly drove over and stopped where he had just parked.
Fang Yun turned to look out the car window, frowning slightly.
Beijing Military Academy
She lowered her eyes in the car, and soon started the car and followed Qin Hanlin's car. She knew that he definitely didn't like being followed, so she drove very slowly and stayed far away. With her professional tracking skills, she could determine his driving route even from a distance. But despite driving slowly, Fang Yun was surprised to see Qin Hanlin's car parked on the side of the road after driving for a while.
Qin Hanlin was holding his stomach in the car, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He was probably a little biased. This area was in the suburbs, and he didn't see any pharmacies along the way. Maybe he didn't eat tonight, so he drank a cup of hot milk and then a cup of cold beer to bring out this old problem in him. . The disease didn't come back, but when it came, it came fiercely, with cramping pains coming and going. He didn't dare to drive anymore, so he had to park the car on the side of the road.
Fang Yun watched from a distance. After waiting for a long time, Qin Hanlin refused to drive. Then she felt something was wrong and quickly drove over to check.
"Hanlin, what's wrong with you?" Fang Yun got out of the car and knocked on the window with an anxious expression.
Qin Hanlin frowned in the car and pursed his lips, "Do you like stalking?"
Fang Yun opened her mouth, wanting to say that she didn't, but just happened to pass by, but remembering his words about not liking to be lied to, she swallowed the words on her lips, but did not mention it, and just said: "What's wrong with you? No Comfortable?"
"It's okay, you can go home." Qin Hanlin did not open the door.
Fang Yun saw him covering his stomach through the car window, and his expression suddenly changed, "Do you have an old stomachache?"
He had no stomach problems before, but this problem... accumulated over the years. Fang Yun looked guilty. That incident eventually turned into a dispute between two factions. At that time, she was sent to study abroad for ten years. But during these years abroad, she kept hearing about him. At that time, he was so scolded that he couldn't even eat for a period of time. In the end, he vomited as soon as he ate, and his whole body became extremely thin. Mr. Qin and Uncle Qin were frightened and did not dare to eat too much. He asked and blamed him and sent him to the hospital, but he suffered from stomachache.
I haven't had this disease for many years. Could it be because she came back...
"Is there no medicine in your car? Did you call an ambulance?"
Qin Hanlin said nothing. This disease is an old problem. There is no need to go to the hospital at all. There is medicine. He just planned to rest for a while and then drive to buy medicine. If he could do it by himself, he didn't want to trick others. Although you can call the security guard at home, if the family finds out, the nagging of the old man and the mother will continue...
Qin Hanlin thought about this, but his breathing became heavier and heavier, and his stomach cramped, letting him know that he might really have to go to the hospital this time.
"Hello? Ambulance?" At this time, Fang Yun's voice came from outside the car. Qin Hanlin frowned and turned around, seeing her hanging up the phone after reporting the location and road outside.
"..." Qin Hanlin didn't say anything until the ambulance came and he opened the door and got out of the car and said, "Thank you."
Only then did Fang Yun see Qin Hanlin's face turning pale and cold sweat on his forehead. She suddenly felt more guilty and said, "I will accompany you."
"No, it's too late, go back and rest." After Qin Hanlin said that, he got into the hospital's car and asked a medical staff to follow him in his car. Fang Yun drove his car and followed him to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, a checkup revealed that Qin Hanlin had stomach pain and fever, so the hospital opened a single ward and put him on an intravenous drip.
The lights in the ward were turned off, and the man was lying on the bed. Fang Yun kept guarding the door of the ward. After waiting for a long time, he gently opened the door and went in. Qin Hanlin had fallen asleep leaning on the bed. This was the first time in these years that she was so close to him, and looking at his sleeping face, it was like seeing him back then. Back then, he was still a teenager, but now he is a handsome and mature man.
The ten-year gap was blank to him, but not to her. Over the years, she had been paying attention to him and knew about his scandals, but no one knew better than her why he lingered in the flowers. He still has her in his heart, but her choice made him unable to let go, so he is so cold now.
Fang Yun smiled. She was not afraid of his indifference, but she was afraid that he really no longer loved her. Thinking of his words tonight and the last time he went to the Beijing Military Academy, Fang Yun frowned. Before returning to China, she had heard about another scandal of his...
Fang Yun glanced at Qin Hanlin and saw that he was wearing a shirt, with his cuffs rolled up, taking an IV drip, and his coat was hanging aside. She paused for a moment, then walked over, rummaged twice quickly, and took out a mobile phone from her pocket.
Taking her cell phone to the door of the ward, Fang Yun turned it on, checked the call and message records, and finally frowned at a text message. Her brows furrowed even more when she saw the time of the text message, which was after they separated from her.
Fang Yun's face darkened, and he took out his mobile phone and recorded the number. Then he went back to the house and put Qin Hanlin's mobile phone away. After coming out, he walked to the corner of the corridor and made a call, "Hello? Check this number for me. !”
…
The night was dark, and at this time, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin had already rested.
After not seeing each other for two days, Xia Shao thought that someone would be as wolfish as when he was in Australia, but he was very good tonight. He just kissed her and hugged her to rest. Xia Shao didn't know why, but she still felt a little uneasy. Just like when Xiao Yi died, she felt inexplicably uneasy. Now it was confirmed that there was a high possibility that he was still alive and that he was setting up some conspiracy in the capital. Now, she felt uneasy again, but she couldn't tell where it came from.
"Go to sleep." Just as she was thinking, Xu Tianyin's voice came from above her head. Xia Shao looked up. The man kissed her on the forehead and held her tighter.
Xia Shao responded vaguely and closed her eyes. Xu Tianyin still had a task tomorrow morning. She knew that if she couldn't sleep, he would always stay with her. In order to prevent him from being too tired tomorrow, she had no choice but to close her eyes, adjust her energy and hypnotize herself. I don't know how long it took before I gradually fell asleep.
She slept until morning. When Xia Shao got up, it was already cold around her.
Xu Tianyin had already gone out, and a note was placed on the table, telling her that the kitchen had cooked porridge, eggs, and toasted bread. Xia Shao smiled and looked at the handwriting on the note for a long time, thinking how great it would be if there were no worries and she could live like this every day.
After breakfast, Xia Shao turned her mind to matters in the capital.
She called Sun Changde first. The two managers who were seeking medical treatment in Japan had not woken up before she returned to China. Xia Shao has already contacted the embassy and will make arrangements to return home as soon as they wake up. Xia Shao told Sun Changde to contact the best nursing home and arrange the most reasonable recuperation plan. All future physical recuperation expenses of the two managers would be paid by the company. When your health gets better, you can be transferred to a more leisurely position and your salary will remain the same.
Sun Changde smiled and agreed immediately. Even if the chairman did not order this, he would also suggest it. Although this is a large expense, the company does not lack the money. Moreover, this solution is also conducive to the cohesion of people's hearts and does not actually cost money.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Shao called her master Tang Zongbo. The reason why she was in such a hurry to return to the capital this time was because she learned that Xiao Yi was still alive. Now Xiao Yi is in the capital, and Leng Yixin is also there. Their hatred for Xuanmen will definitely not lead to anything good. However, it is not easy to find these two people. Although she can open her eyes, it will take some time to investigate. Xia Shao had not yet thought about how to find the two of them as soon as possible. She planned to ask her master how he was doing in Japan.
"Your Uncle Leng... went last night." Tang Zongbo's voice was deep on the phone.
Xia Shao was stunned, but not surprised. Mr. Leng received two strong blows from his master last night, and his internal organs must have been seriously damaged. Later, he received another blow from Wen Ye and Mr. Zhang. There is a high possibility that he will die from serious injuries. However, this old man died unjustly. He had no idea that the person he risked his life to save was not his granddaughter at all...
Hearing that the master's voice was deep and he was obviously a little depressed, Xia Shao comforted the old man with a few words. Everyone is on the path of choice. If they choose right or wrong, they have to bear the consequences. Mr. Leng faced a dilemma back then, whether to choose friendship from the same family or family ties. No matter who falls on this multiple-choice question or what choice they make, there is actually nothing wrong. It's just that everyone made different choices, took different paths, and ended up on opposite sides, which is why we have today's results.
There is no right or wrong in such a result, only a sigh.
"Then what does Master plan to do?" Xia Shao asked.
"It is actually human nature that he is devoted to his only granddaughter. I just lament that Xin'er, that child, makes mistakes again and again. If she knew that her grandfather died to save her substitute, I don't know what she would think." Tang Zongbo sighed deeply. After a while, he said, "Anyway, your Uncle Leng is still a member of the sect. He has gone to grudge, so his funeral should be held in a decent manner. After all, there are many old acquaintances in Hong Kong, and he has been famous for half his life. It's not good." Walked quietly..."
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. Master's idea was exactly what she wanted, "Then let's do it according to Master's idea!"
Mr. Leng has passed away. If there is a big event in Hong Kong, there will definitely be news in the capital. Xia Shao wanted to see what Leng Yixin would do and whether he would hide and not show up.
"Cui Hao and his wife are also dead. Today we will come to pick them up at the funeral. We will return to Hong Kong tomorrow." Tang Zongbo told the itinerary and asked if there was any abnormality in the capital. Then he said that he would contact us again when he arrived in Hong Kong, and then hang up the phone.
After Xia Shao put down the phone, she was not idle that day. She went to the company to inquire about the preparations for the spring jade auction, and then waited.
Hey, I suddenly had a seizure today. I wanted to buy a short-haired cat to take home and raise, but when I went to take a look, it actually cost five figures! tt means that poor people can’t afford it, so they should just keep a Chinese pastoral cat... My great Chinese pastoral cat is great!
