Hearing his mother's question, Liu Qingyu began to sweat on his forehead, but he knew that he had to give his mother an explanation today, but Liu Qingyu was still a slippery boy after all. Meiyan massaged her shoulders and said: "Mom, look, it's already ten o'clock now. It's time to have lunch soon. My son is hungry. Can you cook a meal for your son first? I'll wait for you. After the meal is ready and my son is full, after he wakes up from his nap in the afternoon, I will tell you the final result. Do you think this will work?"
Liu Meiyan still didn't know who her son was. Seeing that Liu Qingyu actually played Tai Chi Push Hands with her, she laughed and said: "Okay, how can it not work? But boy, what are you doing?" You have to give me a time point, tell me, should you tell me the results at three o'clock in the afternoon, or at four o'clock in the afternoon, I can tell you, your father has been waiting too. Where are your results?"
Hearing that his father was also waiting, Liu Qingyu knew that when the matter had reached this point, there was no use delaying it anymore. He could only say with a wry smile: "Then it will be three o'clock in the afternoon. During this time, I will You have to think about it carefully."
When Liu Meiyan heard her son give the final time, she was no longer anxious. She immediately went to the kitchen with a smile and personally cooked a large table of sumptuous lunch for her precious son.
After finishing the meal, Liu Qingyu returned to his room, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and his heart was up and down.
The images of two beautiful girls, Cao Shuhui and Qin Ruijie, kept swirling in his mind. He remembered all the good things these two girls had done to him over the years.
A real man may say very little, but he sees everything and keeps it in his heart. A real man is a person who knows how to be grateful.
Whether it was Cao Shuhui who completely left the Cao family for herself, or Qin Ruijie who traveled thousands of kilometers overnight to rescue her, whether it was Cao Shuhui who got jealous from time to time and had a little mood, or Qin Ruijie dressed up to show everything she had in front of him. Beautiful, everything, Liu Qingyu remembers it all.
In his heart, Cao Shuhui is a girl with an unruly personality, an eccentric spirit but a measured manner. Behind her seemingly unruly personality, there is a kind heart hidden. Others may not know it, but Liu Qingyu knows it. Although Cao Shuhui comes from the Cao family and is an absolute lady, you can't see a trace of bossiness in her. On the contrary, friends who are familiar with her know that Cao Shuhui is actually a girl who pays great attention to loyalty and friends. Quite generous, after Cao Shuhui started working, she would spend half of her salary every month to support children in poor mountainous areas to go to school, and she only relied on the other half of her salary to support her daily expenses, especially after leaving Cao's family. She has to rely on herself for everything, and she just relies on half of her salary to maintain her daily life. She used to use top-grade cosmetics, but now she is bare-faced and uses only ordinary cosmetics. She can no longer afford ordinary cosmetics. For herself, she is willing to live a difficult life.
Qin Ruijie is like a mature and intellectually beautiful good friend in Liu Qingyu's heart. Ever since Liu Qingyu entered the official career from Guanshan Town, Qin Ruijie has always been by his side, during the flood fighting and rescue operations in Guanshan Town. , No one in Guanshan Town supported her at the beginning, but she supported her. During that time, in order to protect the lives and property of the people in Guanshan Town, she could work non-stop. Her heart was kind, and her mind was broad. She always thinks about herself emotionally, and always supports herself in her career. From Guanshan Town to today's Lanshan City, Qin Ruijie will try her best to appear in her at almost every key node in her official career. In sight, he silently supports his career, and silently uses practical actions to practice his concept of serving as an official and benefiting one party during his term.
One is a friend who grew up with her as a childhood sweetheart, who would give up everything for herself, and the other is a good friend who supports her career with all her heart, and for herself, she can not care about her personal future and destiny.
Anyone can be a lifelong partner, but there can only be one partner to marry because this is a legal requirement.
Choosing one is destined to give up one, and these two girls have given up a lot and lost a lot for themselves. Choosing one is destined to hurt one. Liu Qingyu really doesn’t want to see that situation, so he has been Avoiding, hesitating, a few years passed in the blink of an eye. As time went by, Liu Qingyu knew that he could not avoid indefinitely, and he had to make a choice.
How should we choose?
Liu Qingyu still couldn't give an answer for a while.
On the bed, Liu Qingyu tossed and turned, weighing and thinking.
Even the hail of bullets on the battlefield never gave Liu Qingyu the slightest hesitation or hesitation, and even the various conspiracies and tricks in the officialdom, which were all about talking sweetly and hiding swords behind a smile, never made him shrink back. But now, if Liu Qingyu can have a choice, He really wanted to choose to retreat, but he knew that he couldn't.
Because he is a man, and a real man must dare to face the difficult life.
He smoked cigarettes one after another, and soon smoke began to rise in the room. He changed his body posture over and over again, and he didn't know how many times he changed it. He was still thinking about it.
Dong-dong-dong, the clock on the wall rang 15 times.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and Liu Qingyu knew that it was time for him to make a decision.
At this moment, Liu Qingyu didn't know that, just like him, Cao Shuhui and Qin Ruijie were lying on their beds in two different locations in Yanjing City, tossing and turning, waiting silently.
Both of them knew that today, Liu Qingyu's decision would determine their happiness.
Although both of them know that such a choice is cruel, they are both very mature women. They know that in today's legal society, Liu Qingyu can only have one choice, and both of them are ready to move forward. Or preparing to quit, now all they can do is wait.
Time passed minute by minute, and the two girls were waiting in agony.
There was a knock on the door of Liu Qingyu's room, and Liu Meiyan stepped in. Seeing the smoke lingering in the room and the cigarette butts piled in the ashtray on the bedside table, Liu Meiyan couldn't help but frowned. If it was Normally, she would definitely scold Liu Qingyu, but today, she didn't say much because she knew that Liu Qingyu would definitely feel uncomfortable today.
Liu Meiyan just sat gently beside Liu Qingyu's bed, gently stroked her son's handsome face, and said softly: "Xiaoyu, Mom knows it's hard for you to choose. If it were me, I wouldn't I don’t know who I should choose, but now that you are not too young and have reached the age of marriage, you must make a choice."
Liu Qingyu slowly sat up, raised his head, looked at his mother, nodded gently and said, "Mom, I have decided who I want to choose."
"Who." Liu Meiyan looked at Liu Qingyu with kind and gentle eyes.
Liu Qingyu said: "Cao Shuhui."
"Oh." Liu Meiyan just said oh, but she was not surprised by Liu Qingyu's choice, because to her, she was not surprised that Liu Qingyu chose anyone.
But Liu Meiyan asked: "Why is it Cao Shuhui?"
Liu Qingyu smiled bitterly and said: "Cao Shuhui has left the Cao family. If she loses me, she will lose the whole world." After saying this, Liu Qingyu let out a long breath. Liu Qingyu felt sorry for these two. Girls like them all, and he has repeatedly weighed them, but now, there is only one choice he can make.
When Liu Meiyan heard the reason given by Liu Qingyu, she didn't comment. She just sighed and turned around and went out. She didn't know why she sighed.
At this time, Liu Qingyu suddenly shouted loudly from behind: "Mom, I plan to get married on November this year, so the wedding will not be held."
Liu Meiyan turned around, looked at Liu Qingyu with burning eyes and said, "Xiaoyu, have you decided?"
Liu Qingyu said with great certainty: "I have decided not to hold a wedding. Cao Shuhui and I will travel and get married. As for the final banquet, you and my dad can just watch and deal with it."
Liu Meiyan nodded: "Okay, your dad and I respect your choice. Don't worry, I will personally inform Cao Shuhui and Qin Ruijie."
Liu Qingyu shook his head firmly: "No, I'll inform them personally about this. I'm a man and I have to face everything."
Liu Meiyan smiled and glanced at her son with kind eyes full of appreciation. She knew that her son was no longer the naughty bad boy who was ignorant of the world. He had grown up and matured. He had Courage, courage, and the courage to take responsibility.
Liu Meiyan left, and Liu Qingyu stared out the window, holding the mobile phone in his hand, but did not make a call for a long time.
After a long time, Liu Qingyu resolutely picked up the phone and dialed Cao Shuhui's number first.
At this moment, on the other end of the phone, Cao Shuhui saw that it was Liu Qingyu's call, and her heart trembled for no reason. The expression on her face, which had never been confused by external objects, was full of sadness and nervousness. She secretly thought in her heart: "That's right. It's not like Liu Qingyu wants to tell me that he wants to choose Qin Ruijie, if that's the case, I..."
For a moment, Cao Shuhui's heart was filled with ups and downs, and her hand holding the mobile phone was trembling slightly. For a moment, she even forgot to answer the phone.
The second call came, and Cao Shuhui finally came to her senses. Cao Shuhui quickly answered the call and said in a trembling voice: "Qingyu..." There was a sad silence behind it.
