Chapter 361 [Three Years] (Part 2)
Autumn in Huangpu is cold and the rainy season after autumn is particularly long. A black car parked in front of a small building near Huangpu, and a woman in a black windbreaker walked out of the car. She was tall and noble in her temperament. Black sunglasses covered her pretty face and made her skin look white.
"Qinghong!" A simple-dressed woman in front of the small building called the other person's name and ran towards the other person happily. She was Tang Baoer. The woman in black was Ye Qinghong who had been away from China for three years. Although the two best friends never interrupted their letters, they met for the first time in three years.
Ye Qinghong took off her sunglasses and showed a smile on her pretty face. Even when her old friend reunites, her smile is still reserved and calm, far less than Tang Baoer's enthusiasm. Tang Baoer hugged Ye Qinghong tightly, and was so excited that she was already crying: "Qinghong, why did you, a heartless guy, have been gone for so long? Why don't you miss me?"
Ye Qinghong took out his handkerchief and wiped away Tang Baoer's tears with a smile: "Silly girl, she still cries at any time when she is so big."
Tang Baoer said, "I'm happy! Hurry up, sit inside, look, I'm just happy, and I forget the basic hospitality method." She asked the servant to help Ye Qinghong get his luggage and walked into the building with Ye Qinghong hand in hand.
Ye Qinghong looked up at the three words Li Gongguan and said softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't even come here when you got married last year."
Tang Baoer said: "For the sake of giving me such a big gift, I forgive you." She got married in May last year, and wrote a letter to Ye Qinghong and sent a telegram. However, Ye Qinghong, her best friend, still did not come to attend her wedding. Although she entrusted others to send gifts on the wedding day, it was always a great regret for Tang Baoer.
Ye Qinghong's eyes were on the large oil paintings hanging in the living room. They were the oil paintings when Tang Baoer got married. The groom was handsome and the bride was shy and charming. Ye Qinghong stared at her for a long time and praised softly: "What a talented man."
Tang Baoer smiled and said, "What a talented man and a beautiful woman? This oil painting is only three points like us, and seven points are beautifying it. To be honest, when I was sent here, I didn't even know myself."
The good sisters laughed at the same time.
Ye Qinghong said: "Where is your Mr. Li?"
Tang Baoer said: "I went to Yangcheng to do business, and it will probably take a month to come back."
Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "Doesn't this mean that we sisters can do whatever we want this month."
Tang Baoer nodded and said, "Of course."
Ye Qinghong went to wash first, while Tang Baoer arranged to ask the servant to prepare dinner.
Ye Qinghong took a shower and changed her clothes. Tang Baoer had already prepared dinner. The dishes prepared from Huangpu that night were all prepared. Ye Qing siphoned the aroma and said, "Do you know what I miss the most in Europe?"
Tang Baoer almost blurted out, but the words came to her lips and immediately changed her mind, giggling, "Of course I am right?"
Ye Qinghong said: "It's our Huangrpu dish."
Tang Baoer said: "There are also Chinese restaurants in Europe."
Ye Qinghong said: "Although there is, the taste is always much worse."
Tang Baoer invited Ye Qinghong to sit down and pointed to the two bottles of wine on the table, a bottle of French red wine and a bottle of domestic white wine. Ye Qinghong shook her head and said, "I won't drink anymore!"
Tang Baoer said: "How can you not drink when you meet again after a long time? If you meet a confidant for a long time, you must not regard me as a confidant."
Ye Qinghong said: "I made a vow..." When she said this, she suddenly stopped. She swore that three years ago, she vowed that she would never set foot in her hometown again in her lifetime, but she was back in the end. Ye Qinghong only knew in her heart whether it was difficult to leave her hometown or other reasons.
As time goes by, she thought some things would fade with the passage of time, but she found that some things could not be forgotten. The longer the time passes, the clearer the traces will be, which may bother her for the rest of her life. This time, the return should be to find relief.
Tang Baoer saw her sudden change of emotions and said carefully: "Then, let's drink some rice wine?"
Ye Qinghong raised her head, pointed to the white wine in her left hand and said, "Forget it, let's not be an example, drink white."
Wine can help people relax, and people can easily say things that are difficult to speak normally under the paralysis of alcohol. Tang Baoer always wants to say to Ye Qinghong, but she has never had a chance for three years. After drinking a few glasses of wine, she finally said: "I'm sorry!"
Ye Qinghong looked at her in surprise and said, "Why do you want to say sorry to me?"
Tang Baoer said: "If it weren't for me, the Yu family might not have targeted you so much, causing you to be forced to leave."
Ye Qinghong laughed: "It has nothing to do with you. In the final analysis, that matter is Ren Tianjun's interference behind his back. It's not that the truth has been revealed. The real murderer has surrendered, and everyone's suspicion has been cleared."
Tang Baoer nodded and said, "I still don't understand why Lao An wanted to kill Yu Weiguo. There seems to be no hatred between them."
The case that happened more than three years ago shocked the entire Huangpu. After Yu Weiguo was killed, the suspect was identified as Luo Lie. In order to catch the suspect, the Yu family once offered a high reward of 100,000 yuan, and finally added to 200,000 yuan. Two years ago, Lao An took the initiative to surrender. The motive and process of the murder were clearly explained, and the case was revealed. However, Lao An successfully escaped from prison shortly after surrendering and has not yet been brought to justice.
Yu Weiguo's case has never been closed. The reason why Tang Baoer apologized to Ye Qinghong was because she and Yu Weiguo were almost engaged. Later, she used Luo Lie to get rid of Yu Weiguo because of this reason. Luo Lie and Yu Weiguo took over Liangzi. Later, in investigating the murder of Yu Weiguo, the conflict between Luo Lie and Yu Weiguo once became the main reason why the police suspected and verified him.
Tang Baoer believed that without Yu Weiguo's affairs, Luo Lie would not have been desperate, Ye Qinghong would not have been forced to go to Europe, and the two would not have separated. She always believed that the two of them would not have had a certain relationship with her in the end.
Ye Qinghong said: "The past is like smoke, what has passed is the past. There are two things in this world that you can't grasp, one is time, and the other is..." Ye Qinghong didn't finish speaking, picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it all.
Tang Baoer looked at Ye Qinghong. She thought that three years would make Ye Qinghong forget the past relationship, but from the moment she saw Ye Qinghong, she knew that Ye Qinghong had not forgotten. She could not imagine how Ye Qinghong had spent the past three years.
Tang Baoer wanted to ask about Ye Qinghong's situation, but she was afraid of touching Ye Qinghong's sadness.
Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "Tell me about yourself, I remember you seem to be able to chat with Zhang Changgong."
Tang Baoer smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Zhang, we can really chat. We are still drinkers, but only that. He came here once half a year ago. I even invited him to dinner for Gospel Primary School."
Ye Qinghong said oh, and her heart was beating significantly faster because she thought of him. Zhang Changgong was his best friend and should know about him.
Tang Baoer said: "Brother Zhang asked me if there is any news about Luo Lie." She finally said this name.
The moment Ye Qinghong heard the word Luo Lie, the hand holding the wine glass shook obviously, and half a glass of wine spilled out. Then she smiled and explained: "If you drink too much, you can't even hold the wine glass."
Tang Baoer said: "Of course you can't drink me, I can't compare to you in everything, but I'm better than you when drinking."
Ye Qinghong shook her head and said, "Why compare with me? The most important thing for a woman is not her alcohol tolerance or her talent. The most important thing is her destination..." Tang Baoer already has her destination, and she is still alone. Ye Qinghong knows that her current situation is related to her persistent and inconvenient temperament, so she drank half of the glass of wine in her hand.
Tang Baoer filled her again and said softly: "Everyone has a different spirit. I don't have your talent or personality, so I just want to marry someone. If you want to find a home, the people in the queue can circle the earth."
Ye Qinghong laughed: "You are comforting me."
Tang Baoer said seriously: "Sister Qinghong, in my heart, you are the best woman in the world."
When Ye Qinghong heard the three words "The Best" and a faint sadness appeared in her heart: "It's just in your heart." After drinking the wine, her throat was hot and hot, but Ye Qinghong's heart was extremely cold. This has been the case for these three years, and there is no way to warm it up.
Tang Baoer said: "Is there something wrong with you when you come back this time?"
Ye Qinghong shook her head and said, "It's nothing. She has been away for a long time. She misses this place very much, and you friends very much." She did not tell Tang Baoer the real reason.
Tang Baoer smiled and said, "I want to meet someone, I'll come forward to arrange it."
Ye Qinghong didn't say anything. In fact, even if she didn't say anything, Tang Baoer knew who the person she wanted to see the most was.
Tang Baoer said: "I have always been in contact with Zhang Changgong and the others. An Zhai is in Huangpu, and he and Zhou Xiaodie are married. The two have opened a silk shop, and they are good business, so they are not afraid of it."
Ye Qinghong finally had a smile on her face: "I didn't expect that he could settle down."
Tang Baoer nodded and said, "His grandmother left three years ago, and everyone came to attend the funeral...I..." After hesitating, she still said, "I also saw Luo Lie for the last time at the funeral." She looked at Ye Qinghong's expression quietly, and saw that Ye Qinghong's expression was nothing unusual, and then said, "He came by himself."
Ye Qinghong said: "He treats Grandma Chen as his relative, so he naturally wants to go."
Tang Baoer said: "I asked him at that time, and he said he was going out for a while and said he wanted to go to Europe. I thought he was going to find you."
Ye Qinghong shook her head, but the pair of figures she accidentally saw on the streets of Paris appeared in her mind. She kept telling herself that she saw them all illusions. But she knew in her heart that she would never miss his back. Does missing one mean missing a lifetime? Ye Qinghong didn't know the answer, but her return this time was to find the answer.
