Qiao Liang sat in Feng Yunming's office for a while and then left. After coming out of the courtyard, Qiao Liang thought for a moment and took out his cell phone to call Su Yan.
On the other end of the phone, Su Yan quickly picked up the phone, and Qiao Liang said: "Su Yan, are you free now? Come with me to the mental hospital to see Zhang Mei."
"Ah...you...are you back?" Su Yan's unexpected voice was full of surprise.
"Well, I came back today." Qiao Liang nodded, "I am now at the gate of the compound. Do you want to drive over to pick me up or should we meet at the gate of the mental hospital?"
"I'll drive to pick you up. Please wait a moment while I ask for leave from the leader," Su Yan said.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come over." Qiao Liang nodded.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Qiao Liang saw Su Yan driving over and got in the car. Qiao Liang said: "You are coming here very slowly. The Radio, Film and Television Bureau is only a short distance away from the compound. You
Made me wait for almost half an hour."
"The boss is having a meeting. I have to wait until he finishes the meeting before asking for leave." Su Yan pouted, "I haven't told you yet. Every time you come back, you always ask me to go to the mental hospital. I haven't seen you ask me out yet."
We have been to other places, even if we are fake boyfriend and girlfriend, we still have to be romantic once in a while, right?"
"How do you want to be romantic with me?" Qiao Liang chuckled.
"We can go eat Western food, or go shopping. In short, we can just do some things that couples do. That way, we can pretend to be lovers, so no one will be suspicious," Su Yan said.
"It's not like someone is following us 24 hours a day. Does it make sense for us to do that?" Qiao Liang smiled faintly, "As long as I invite you to a mental hospital, he won't doubt our relationship."
"Why?" Su Yan asked puzzledly.
"No comment." Qiao Liang said simply.
Su Yan turned her head and glanced at Qiao Liang, frowning slightly.
Su Yan didn't know that Chu Heng had set up an spy in the mental hospital. As long as she and Qiao Liang went to visit Zhang Mei, Chu Heng would soon know about it. That's why Qiao Liang was so confident that Chu Heng would not doubt their relationship.
.
As the car drove on the road, Su Yan would occasionally glance at Qiao Liang unconsciously and ask herself. Su Yan sometimes had to admit that during her fake relationship with Qiao Liang, she had already fallen in love with Qiao Liang.
Especially now that Qiao Liang has been promoted to be the county magistrate of Songbei County. Seeing that the future is bright, Su Yan is even more excited. In her eyes, Qiao Liang is a huge potential stock worth investing in. Therefore, Su Yan came up with the idea.
It was a fake show but it was a pity that Qiao Liang didn't seem to have any interest in her at all.
The car quickly arrived at the mental hospital. Qiao Liang and Su Yan went upstairs together. Outside the ward, Qiao Liang saw Sister Li taking care of Zhang Mei and greeted her with a smile: "Sister Li."
"Here we come." When Sister Li saw it was Qiao Liang, she smiled and nodded in greeting.
"Sister Li, how is Zhang Mei doing lately?" Qiao Liang asked.
"It's still the same." Sister Li said.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Sister Li." Qiao Liang nodded, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, could Zhang Mei continue to be crazy like this for the rest of her life?
"You guys go in, I'll wash her clothes." Sister Li said.
"Okay." Qiao Liang nodded. He saw that Sister Li was indeed holding a basin of clothes in her hand.
Walking into the ward, Qiao Liang saw Zhang Mei sitting blankly on the chair, her eyes dull and slightly haggard. Qiao Liang couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Mei, who should have been young and beautiful, has now become like this.
Sad.
"Can you really not recover? Your life is so long, but now you are already..." Qiao Liang looked at Zhang Mei and murmured.
At this moment, Qiao Liang didn't notice that Zhang Mei's eyes flickered when he spoke.
On the side, a somewhat bored Su Yan took out her mobile phone to play. She didn't bother to care about Zhang Mei. Whether Zhang Mei was dead or alive had nothing to do with her. If she didn't have to act with Qiao Liang, she wouldn't even be able to do it in her life.
Enter a place like a mental hospital.
Qiao Liang continued to talk to himself and Zhang Mei. Su Yan said impatiently: "Is it useful for you to tell her so much? She can't understand. You are just wasting your time."
"It's her business that she doesn't understand. I want to say it's my business. If you feel impatient, just go outside and wait." Qiao Liang said lightly.
Su Yan curled her lips and said nothing more.
At this time, Chu Heng, who was in the office, received a call and learned that Qiao Liang and Su Yan went to the mental hospital to see Zhang Mei.
Holding the phone, Chu Heng thought for a moment, raised his hand to check the time, and then called Qiao Liang.
In the mental hospital, Qiao Liang looked at the call from Chu Heng, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he silently answered the phone.
"Xiao Qiao, are you back?" Chu Heng asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"Brother Chu, I just came back today." Qiao Liang replied with a smile.
"I guess it's time for you to come back. After all, you are about to take office in Songbei." Chu Heng laughed, "We haven't had dinner together for a long time. Let's do this. I'll be the host tonight and you can treat Su Yan
Call us together and I'll treat you to dinner."
"Brother Chu, there's no need for you to spend so much money." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"How can you call it a waste of money? When you come back from the northwest, it's natural for me to take care of you. Besides, I invited my own brother to dinner. How can I call it a waste of money?" Chu Heng chuckled, "That's all.
It’s settled, let’s meet in the evening, I’ll send you the hotel and box number for the meal later.”
"Okay, I'll see you tonight." Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and did not refuse. Since he wants to act, sometimes he has to act more realistically.
After Qiao Liang hung up the phone, Su Yan next to her couldn't wait to ask, "What did he say?" "He said he would treat us to dinner tonight." Qiao Liang looked at Su Yan and said, "Let's go there together tonight."
"Oh." Su Yan nodded subconsciously. Su Yan did not dare to refuse Chu Heng's invitation.
Time flew by to the evening. Qiao Liang and Su Yan came to the hotel together. When they walked into the box, Chu Heng was already inside. Seeing Qiao Liang and Su Yan coming in holding hands, Chu Heng narrowed his eyes and the smile on his face became thicker.
, looked at Qiao Liang and Su Yan and said with a smile: "You two are better off than just getting married. You hold hands even when you come over to have dinner. It makes me a little jealous."
When Qiao Liang heard Chu Heng's words, he chuckled. The two of them deliberately held hands when they reached the downstairs of the hotel, just to let Chu Heng see them.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Qiao Liang let go of Su Yan's hand and said to Chu Heng: "Brother Chu, there is still no news about Sister Hong?"
Chu Heng shook his head and sighed.
Qiao Liang smiled secretly and continued: "Brother Chu, since there has been no news from Sister Hong for so long, why don't you..."
Qiao Liang deliberately acted reserved and did not continue.
"Forget it, your sister Hong and I have a deep relationship. Even if she disappears, I will always wait for her. I believe that sooner or later she will come back." Chu Heng's eyes dimmed and he said with a low expression.
Chu Heng's words made Qiao Liang want to vomit. He was a bastard and a showman. He was obviously a peaceful beast, but he pretended to be deeply affectionate.
"Let's not mention this anymore. Sit down and see what you want to eat. You take your order." Chu Heng said with a smile.
Qiao Liang nodded and sat down with Su Yan.
When Su Yan faced Chu Heng, she was obviously very reserved. She sat down without saying a word and seemed to be very afraid of Chu Heng.
Chu Heng glanced back and forth at Qiao Liang and Su Yan, and suddenly said: "Xiao Qiao, now that you have returned to Jiangzhou, I think you and Xiao Su can get married, so that you can take care of them personally in the future.
"
"Ah?" Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Chu Heng to mention this suddenly. He was completely unprepared.
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. When he saw Chu Heng staring at him with stern eyes, his mind started thinking about how to find a reasonable excuse to reject Chu Heng's proposal.
"Why, you don't want to? I think the relationship between you and Xiao Su has reached its peak. In that case, it's better to get married as soon as possible. Xiao Su is a flower on the TV station and has many people pursuing him. If you
If you don't hurry up, Xiao Su will be snatched away later, and you won't have anywhere to cry." Chu Heng saw Qiao Liang's reaction and laughed.
Qiao Liang's mouth twitched. If I didn't know your arrangement, I would help you count the money after being sold by you.
Thoughts flashed through his head, and Qiao Liang said: "Brother Chu, I am mainly focusing on work now and will not consider marriage for the time being. Besides, with Zhang Mei's current condition, I have no intention of getting married."
"Xiao Qiao, you and Zhang Mei have divorced. There is no need to bear any psychological burden. You are still so young and should pursue your own happiness." Chu Heng said.
Qiao Liang smiled, and quietly stepped on Su Yan from under the table. Su Yan glanced at Qiao Liang, understood, looked at Chu Heng and said: "What he said is actually right, we are all busy with work now.
The less we get together and the more separation we have, the sooner we get married."
"Okay, you have your own ideas, then you can make your own plans." Chu Heng smiled and stared at Su Yan, a trace of unhappiness flashing in his eyes.
Songbei County.
Shengjing Garden Community in the center of the county.
At this moment, a middle-aged couple was sitting in the living room of a resident's house on the 5th floor of the community. The man kept smoking, while the woman sat quietly aside. The couple had sad faces, and it was obvious that something had happened.
"I have decided that I must go to the county to file a complaint. I can't just admit it." The man suddenly put out his cigarette butt and said with a serious face.
"Is it useful? Didn't you write a letter and sent it to the relevant leaders in the county before, but in the end it was nothing?" The woman said with a low expression, without any hope, and added, "Not to mention the punishment for you.
It's a decision made by the county's competent department. Is it useful for you to file a complaint?"
"You have to try even if it doesn't work." The man said expressionlessly, "This time the situation is different. I heard that a new county magistrate will soon take office in the county. This new magistrate, I specially learned about his situation. Maybe
He will be different."
"Can it be done?" A glimmer of hope flashed in the woman's eyes.
"How can you know if you don't try?" The man smiled bitterly, "At this point, I have nothing to lose, so I will risk my life to fight with them."
"But when the new county magistrate takes office, can you see him?" the woman hesitated.
"If you want to, there is always a way to meet. The small Songbei County is so big. As long as you are willing, you can't even meet the county magistrate?" The man murmured in a low voice.
