Zong Zhengxi seemed to have completely ignored Jian Su. He knew clearly that Nizi was coming back, but he never set foot in the side hall. He didn't know if the girl had heard anything he shouldn't have heard.
Shang Rou hugged Zong Zhengxi from behind his neck, "Axi, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, why don't you take more rest?"
He stood up with a smile, but invisibly avoided Shang Rou's intimacy. Zong Zhengxi also wanted to ask himself what was going on. Xiaorou was not here, he was in pain, and she was here, but he... couldn't accept it with peace of mind.
Her love.
"You think I'm a pig, and I'm recovering well. How do I sleep all day long?"
Shang Rou glanced at Zong Zhengxi in annoyance, and then said calmly: "Axi, don't be so tired, let's go for a walk, okay?"
Zong Zheng smiled and stood up in response, "Okay, let's go."
Unknowingly, he wandered outside the side hall. Zong Zhengxi wanted to turn around with an inexplicable guilty conscience, but Shang Rou was very excited, "Axi, I haven't been here before, where is this?"
As a last resort, he had no choice but to introduce the side hall to Shang Rou briefly, and Shang Rou was already looking into the hall curiously.
Two maids happened to come out. When they saw Shang Rou, they looked at each other without knowing why. Until they saw Zong Zheng's seat, the maids invariably thought of the recent rumors in the Ever Palace, and they felt in unison.
Qi became subtle.
Why...do you feel worthless for the lady? Your Excellency the President has an old love and has never seen the lady again.
"Your Excellency, Mr. President, Miss Shang." The slander is a slander, but the maids still know who their parents are.
Zong Zhengxi nodded and subconsciously blurted out: "Su... Miss Jian is back, right?"
The maids' eyes now seemed to be looking at the betrayed man. Among them, the maid who had a particularly good relationship with Jian Su took a step forward, not facing Zong Zhengxi directly, "In reply to your Excellency, Miss and Miss Shi left.
Yes, it happened two days ago. Miss Shi told me that she won't be back in the short term, so please don't worry about her."
Shang Rou smelled some subtle meaning. After all, women are more sensitive. Without asking immediately, she retreated to Zong Zheng's side.
Zong Zhengxi put his arm around her shoulders, and then said to the maids: "Ms. Jian, let me know when she comes back."
"yes."
After watching Zong Zheng and Xi leave, the two maids looked at each other and suddenly said in unison: "Your Excellency, the President is not suitable for a young lady at all."
Zong Zhengxi was restless on the way back to the main hall - she went out, and then went out again, and she didn't even come to see him, so she simply ran away without a trace? Damn girl, did you do anything?
Does he take it seriously?
Jian Su sneezed, wondering if she was sick? She took a coat from Qi Wei and said with a crooked eyebrow, "Thank you, Your Excellency."
"It's getting cold, little girl, please keep warm." Qi Wei smiled, and then said with great interest: "I will cook and make soup at noon. You eat first, and then go to the United States later, and go with Qiuyang."
Originally, leaving for the United States was what she should have done yesterday, but after arriving at Qi's house the day before yesterday, Jian Su agreed to stay here for two days by some strange combination. After all, Qi Wei gave her a really warm feeling. It was like, come here
When we got here, we suddenly discovered that she had a home.
Obviously, this is not her home...
"Okay, thank you. Your Excellency, I really don't know how to express my gratitude."
Qi Wei likes the girl Jian Su very much, but the little girl's set of etiquette makes him feel a little awkward, "There are no outsiders here, you can call me Uncle Qi, Qiu Yang will come over later, you can do whatever you want first
Go shopping, I'm going to cook."
Jian Su thought about it and went over to help. She had been idle and not working, and she almost despised herself to death.
Qi Wei is a good family man, and his cooking skills are top-notch. This makes people even more curious, why does such an outstanding person not get married? Is he a non-marriage person? Or does he have other secrets?
No matter what the reason is, this is the personal matter of His Excellency the Vice President. Jian Su is too curious to ask a question.
The weather forecast said that the temperature at night would drop significantly, making it unsuitable for a long trip. As a result, Qi Wei was really not willing to let Jian Su and Shi Qiuyang leave, "Girl, the weather is not good, why don't we go to the United States?"
Is it cancelled? I have read reports that the re-examination of the Min Jewelry Competition does not need to go to the United States, but there are some rules in the procedures. If you are willing to stay, I will have people take care of those things."
Jian Su wanted to thank Qi Wei for his kindness and then declined politely. She had already troubled him too much and she couldn't trouble him any more.
However, Shi Qiuyang also helped at this time, "Girl, I think what you said makes sense. Although bad weather will not delay flights, there are not many plane accidents in our country during this time of year. What if..."
I didn't finish the next sentence because the news about another flight having an accident and being forced to land was on the TV.
Jian Su's little persistence quickly collapsed under the attack of the two men. For a moment, she lowered her head, then raised it again, "Okay, I'll stay, it's really troublesome for you.
"
Shi Qiuyang rubbed Jian Su's hair, claiming to be the eldest brother, "You're welcome, brother loves and protects his sister, it's only natural."
Jian Su smiled, and the arc reminded Qi Wei of someone.
"Since I'm not leaving, girl, I have something to ask you. Can you come to the study with me?"
"Okay." She moved her pink lips and smiled brightly.
Qi Wei handed the necklace lying in the box back to Jian Su, "Girl, uncle wants to ask you something, please don't lie to me."
Qi Wei's serious tone made Jian Su nervous for no reason.
"This necklace was designed by an old friend of mine. Its material is quite unique, so when I saw this necklace on you, I recognized it as an authentic product at a glance. Little girl, can you please tell me what this necklace is?
How did you get this necklace?"
After Qi Wei finished speaking, he looked at a painting covered with red cloth on the wall, his thoughts far away.
Jian Su put the necklace back around her neck, never expecting that this was what Qi Wei was going to ask.
Mom's necklace actually makes you... feel familiar?
Old friend? Mom will be an old friend of His Excellency the Vice President?
Jian Su found it baffling, because although her mother was somewhat mysterious, could shoot and design, and was as agile as an agent in the movie, and her light brown eyes were different from most people in the capital, she had never heard of it since she was a child.
Mother said country Z is a country?
What's more, her mother said that she was just an ordinary jewelry worker with no name, and had worked hard for twenty years to be called a designer... Would her mother know a public figure like Mr. Qi Wei?
As far as Jian Su knows, Qi Wei has been in politics for more than thirteen years, from the governor of Yizhou to the vice president today. Mr. Qi Wei and his mother... what are she thinking about?
"Girl, don't be in a hurry to answer me. What I want is a true answer. If you can't guarantee that the answer you give me is true, then you can choose not to say it. I won't blame you or anything."
In order not to make Jian Su nervous, Qi Wei comforted him like this, but the urgent look on his face was so clear. No matter how much Jian Su doesn't understand people's hearts, how could he not see how much you are looking forward to getting an answer.
"I once knew a woman. When I was young, she was the most elegant and charming woman I had ever seen. I couldn't help but fall in love with her."
The secret? Jian Su was surprised that the Vice President would tell her so frankly.
"I spent a very good time with that woman. Now that I am middle-aged and looking back, that was really the only time in my life that I can never let go of."
Qi Wei's voice is like wine that has been soaked in wine for many years. When you taste it in your mouth, what you taste is not only the deep accumulation of peace, but also the waves of panic beneath it.
"Ever since I was very young, I have known that life is nothing more than choice and persistence. You must never let go of what you want. You must make a choice. If you choose, you cannot regret it. But, I regret it."
Walking to Jian Su's side, Qi Weiwei leaned over and looked into the little girl's bright eyes, looking at the confusion on her face.
"If you look closely, Susu really looks like that old friend of mine. I have lost her forever."
There was no explanation for the reason. Qi Wei's eyes seemed to be filled with tears when he turned away.
Jian Su stood there for a long time before she plucked up the courage to run to Qi Wei and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"
"Okay, little angel."
The emotion quickly went away. Qi Wei cast his eyes over Jian Su's shoulders and looked at the boundless distance behind her, "Su Su, can I call you like this?"
"Of course, Your Excellency."
"There are many secrets in my heart, and my biggest secret is nothing more than the woman I mentioned to you. Her surname is Xia, which means Xia in the summer. She is the owner of your necklace. Sometimes, people always have to be stupid.
I feel regretful and unfortunate. I know these are meaningless emotions, but because of her, I have to have these emotions. It’s so stupid.”
Just laugh at yourself, Mr. Qi Wei, the good single man in the eyes of the people, will also have such a hopeless time.
Jian Su really didn't want to see Qi Wei acting so abnormally, but it turns out that people who don't live delicate and open-minded lives don't have to hide their sorrows. Maybe it's true that everyone has a grave in their heart, and what is buried in the grave is something they are reluctant to let go of.
But forgotten the past.
I really want to tell him everything, just to stop you from being so sad, but...
For the first time, she felt that this identity really put her in a dilemma. She didn't want to lie to him, but if she concealed it, you would be so sad.
Humans are impulsive animals, so at that moment, even though they know they shouldn't do something, they still do inappropriate things and say the wrong things.
"Sir, if you can believe everything I say, then let me tell you a story."
Walking to the window, Jian Su opened a small crack and let the freezing wind blow her face.
