The next morning, as soon as it got light, Qiao Liang and Jiang Xiuxiu got up, washed up, and then prepared to go to the hotel where Jiang Xiuxiu was staying.
Qiao Liang opened the dormitory door. Just as he and Jiang Xiuxiu came out, the opposite door suddenly opened and Ye Xinyi walked out with a travel bag.
Ye Xinyi came back from a temporary leave yesterday afternoon. Since Qiao Liang is fine, she plans to rush back to Huangyuan early in the morning.
When the three people met, they were all surprised. Qiao Liang and Jiang Xiuxiu didn't expect Ye Xinyi to come out so early. Ye Xinyi didn't expect Jiang Xiuxiu to come out of Qiao Liang's dormitory so early in the morning.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed suddenly. Ye Xinyi looked straight at Jiang Xiuxiu, subconscious suspicions welling up in her heart.
Seeing the way Ye Xinyi looked at her, Jiang Xiuxiu felt uncomfortable and her expression was twitchy.
Qiao Liang composed himself and said to Jiang Xiuxiu: "You go there first, I will be there soon."
Jiang Xiuxiu agreed in a panic and nodded to Ye Xinyi, who also nodded.
Then Jiang Xiuxiu hurried downstairs and left.
Qiao Liang looked at Ye Xinyi: "Go back to Huangyuan early in the morning?"
Ye Xinyi nodded: "Yes."
"Are you surprised to see Jiang Xiuxiu coming out of my dormitory?" Qiao Liang asked again.
"What do you think?" Ye Xinyi asked.
"I said..." Qiao Liang scratched his head, "I said you must be surprised and must have thought of something."
Ye Xinyi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Qiao Liang continued: "Xinyi, do you think that something like this will definitely happen if a man and a woman live together in the same room?"
"You have to ask yourself this." Ye Xinyi said.
"I think sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't," Qiao Liang said.
"Then which one did you and Xiuxiu belong to last night?" Ye Xinyi said.
Qiao Liang grinned: "Guess."
Ye Xinyi snorted: "I can't guess, and I don't want to guess."
"Why?" Qiao Liang said.
"Because this is your private life, and I'm not interested in other people's private lives." Ye Xinyi said.
"Well, that's right." Qiao Liang nodded, "As a friend, this is the most basic respect."
Ye Xinyi curled her lips.
"What? What I said is wrong?" Qiao Liang said.
Ye Xinyi did not answer Qiao Liang's words, but couldn't help but think of Jiang Xiuxiu's work. She thought that Jiang Xiuxiu's sudden appearance in Qiao Liang's dormitory at this time might be related to what happened to Qiao Liang yesterday.
In this case, Jiang Xiuxiu should not have come to have a tryst with Qiao Liang, and coupled with Qiao Liang's ambiguous words just now, Ye Xinyi couldn't help but feel that Qiao Liang and Jiang Xiuxiu might not have done that last night. At this time, they should not have this kind of thing
Mood and interests.
Thinking like this, Ye Xinyi nodded secretly and looked at Qiao Liang: "Where are you and Xiuxiu going early in the morning?"
"Go to the hotel where Xiuxiu is staying."
"What to do?"
"Go get something and dispose of some items."
"Oh, your things? Your belongings?"
Qiao Liang chuckled: "The things belong to me. They didn't belong to me originally, but now they are mine."
Ye Xinyi blinked: "Why don't I understand something?"
"It's just that you don't understand." Qiao Liang said.
Ye Xinyi frowned slightly and thought for a moment: "Is what you are going to do now related to what happened yesterday?"
Qiao Liang looked serious and nodded: "Yes, not only is it relevant, but it is extremely relevant."
"Then...can you tell me?" Ye Xinyi couldn't help but asked curiously.
"No!" Qiao Liang shook his head decisively.
Ye Xinyi was a little disappointed: "If you don't believe me, you're not enough of a friend."
Qiao Liang said seriously: "Xinyi, it's not that I don't believe you, nor that I don't regard you as a friend, but that no other person knows about this except Xiuxiu and me. I don't want to expand the scope of knowledge. This is for you."
Well, it’s also for everyone’s good. As a friend, long live my understanding.”
After hearing what Qiao Liang said, Ye Xinyi couldn't ask any more questions. At the same time, she became more and more certain that Jiang Xiuxiu came to Qiao Liang's dormitory for something important, and she became even more certain that they really didn't do that last night.
In this way, Ye Xinyi felt a little guilty about the suspicion she had just made about Qiao Liang and Jiang Xiuxiu, especially about Jiang Xiuxiu. The way she looked at Jiang Xiuxiu just now made her so embarrassed.
Then Ye Xinyi said: "Okay, I won't ask questions that I shouldn't ask. I'm pleased that you were safe this time. The current situation in Jiangzhou is very delicate. After Lao An left, you are in a special period and
In this special location, it is easy to hide from open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows. You must be more careful and take care of yourself in the future."
Qiao Liang felt warm in his heart and patted Ye Xinyi on the shoulder: "Xinyi, this time you rushed back to Jiangzhou urgently because of my affairs, which really touched me. As a friend, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Don't worry, you have gone through it
This time, I will be very vigilant and careful. At the same time, every time I experience a storm, my heart will become more mature, and when facing hardships, my mood will become calmer and calmer..."
"Growth always has to pay a price. In fact, thinking about it afterwards, this may not be a bad thing." Ye Xinyi said.
"Yes, as long as it doesn't knock me into a pit and never climb out, I can still deal with setbacks with a correct attitude." Qiao Liang said.
Ye Xinyi looked at Qiao Liang silently, with a heavy heart. She realized at this moment that after An Zhe left, Qiao Liang would definitely face all kinds of unexpected blows. After this level was passed, no one would know what would happen next.
You know. At this time, it is very important for Qiao Liang to maintain a correct mentality and a firm will. If you can't get through it and fall into the endless darkness, it may not be a sunny day after it has passed.
"Qiao Liang, in my opinion, you have always been an upright man. I believe that no matter how big the storm is ahead, you can face it with strength and walk through it firmly and calmly." Ye Xinyi encouraged Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang grinned: "Since you think so highly of me, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Ye Xinyi also smiled, and then the two of them went downstairs. Qiao Liang put Ye Xinyi into a taxi, watched her leave, and then went straight to the hotel where Jiang Xiuxiu was staying.
When they arrived at the room where Jiang Xiuxiu lived, Jiang Xiuxiu looked uneasily and said to Qiao Liang: "Brother Qiao, sister Xinyi didn't ask you anything, did she?"
Obviously, Jiang Xiuxiu is still thinking about the embarrassing scene just now.
"Asked." Qiao Liang said.
"What are you asking?" Jiang Xiuxiu asked next.
Qiao Liang grinned: "How many times did we do it last night?"
Jiang Xiuxiu's face turned red, and her face suddenly became embarrassed, and she said coquettishly: "Then...how did you answer?"
"I said zero times." Qiao Liang said.
"Oh, did your favorite sister believe it?" Jiang Xiuxiu felt a little relieved.
"Does it matter to you whether she believes it or not?" Qiao Liang said.
"This..." Jiang Xiuxiu didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Qiao Liang continued: "Xiuxiu, when a person lives, he lives for himself, not for others to see. Don't be too entangled in some things, and don't care too much about what others think. As long as you are clear in your heart."
Jiang Xiuxiu nodded silently, feeling that what Qiao Liang said was very reasonable. In many cases, the reason why people are entangled is because they care too much about how people around them see themselves, and they can't let go or think about it. If they can really let go of their thoughts, then their lives will be better.
Much easier.
Then Qiao Liang said: "Where are the things?"
Jiang Xiuxiu opened the bedside table, took out the travel backpack and placed it on the bed.
Qiao Liang unzipped his backpack, looked at it, nodded, then zipped it up and put on his backpack: "Okay, that's good. Since you sent it voluntarily, I will confiscate the money."
"Confiscated?" Jiang Xiuxiu blinked, "Brother Qiao, are you planning to..."
Qiao Liang smiled: "No one will have trouble with money, but of course I will not keep the money as my own, but I will not turn it over either."
At this time, Qiao Liang understood that with Luo Fei ruling the roost in Jiangzhou and Zheng Shidong not daring to confront him, if the money was handed over and the origin was explained, not only would nothing be found, but it would also arouse the suspicion of the plotters.
It may even endanger Jiang Xiuxiu's safety.
Hearing what Qiao Liang said, Jiang Xiuxiu asked in confusion: "Brother Qiao, what do you plan to do with the money?"
"Don't worry too much about this, I will use it on the right path anyway." Qiao Liang said simply.
Seeing that Qiao Liang refused to say more, Jiang Xiuxiu stopped asking.
Then Qiao Liang said: "Xiuxiu, your work in Jiangzhou is finished, right?"
Jiang Xiuxiu nodded.
"Well, you check out of the hotel immediately and go back to Songbei. Don't stay in Jiangzhou for a long time." Qiao Liang said.
"Well, okay." Jiang Xiuxiu nodded in agreement, "Brother Qiao, you go first, and I will check out later."
Qiao Liang nodded, stretched out his arms to hug Jiang Xiuxiu, and whispered in her ear: "Xiuxiu, a beauty saves a hero, and the hero doesn't know how to repay... Otherwise, why don't you pledge yourself to me?"
"Pfft--" Jiang Xiuxiu couldn't help but laugh, and lightly hit Qiao Liang. What kind of hero promised her body to her, but the beauty had already promised her body to her, and she promised her many times.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiuxiu couldn't help but her heart beat faster, and complex feelings welled up in her heart: sweetness, nostalgia, loss...
Then Qiao Liang let go of Jiang Xiuxiu, bowed to Jiang Xiuxiu, and solemnly said: "Xiuxiu, your great kindness to me will always be remembered by Qiao Liang. If there is an opportunity in the future, Qiao Liang will definitely repay you!
"
Qiao Liang's words were extremely serious and serious, completely different from the unruly way he used to be in front of Jiang Xiuxiu.
Jiang Xiuxiu felt hot and was about to say something when Qiao Liang turned around and walked to the door, opened it and strode away.
Listening to Qiao Liang's leaving footsteps, Jiang Xiuxiu couldn't help but let out a sigh, and then frowned slightly...
When it was time to go to work, Qiao Liang walked to the compound with her travel bag on her back, greeting the acquaintances she met as she walked.
The news that Qiao Liang was in trouble spread quickly, and the news that he was released also spread quickly. After last night, many people already knew that Qiao Liang came out without incident. When they saw him, they all greeted him warmly, not knowing whether it was true or not.
I also wonder why he carries a travel bag to work.
Although it was strange, no one asked.
Since no one asked, Qiao Liang naturally didn't need to answer.
As he was walking, a car slowly stopped beside him, with the rear window rolled down.
Qiao Liang turned around and saw Luo Fei, who was looking at him with narrowed eyes.
Qiao Liang stopped and greeted politely: "Chief Luo. Chang Zao."
"Well, morning!" Luo Fei nodded casually and looked at the travel bag Qiao Liang was carrying, "Xiao Qiao, are you going on a business trip today?"
Qiao Liang shook his head.
"Then why are you carrying a travel bag to work? What's in the bag?" Luo Fei asked casually.
Qiao Liang said seriously: "I have 1 million in this bag. 1 million is too valuable. I have never seen so much money in my life. I'm afraid it won't be safe if I keep it in the dormitory, so I have to carry it with me."
