Entering the private room of the restaurant, the waiter served four dishes, all of which were Qiao Liang's favorites.
The two opened a bottle of red wine, and Fang Xiaoya said, "I asked the kitchen to make mutton dumplings for you tonight."
Qiao Liang nodded and raised his glass: "Xiaoya, we haven't been together for a while, what the hell -"
The two clinked glasses, and then Fang Xiaoya served Qiao Liang some food.
Qiao Liang looked at Fang Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, when you called me this afternoon, you said you had something to tell me, right?
Want to tell me that you are going back to the United States?"
"You know?" Fang Xiaoya looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang nodded: "I just found out from Secretary An."
"Then you should also know that An Ran is going to study in the United States."
"Yes."
"Feels sudden?"
"Yes, it was very sudden."
Fang Xiaoya breathed out softly: "Actually, I should have told you earlier, but so many things happened some time ago, and I didn't want to distract you. Now that the dust has settled, I plan to tell you tonight."
Qiao Liang nodded: "How long do you plan to stay in the United States this time?"
Fang Xiaoya's eyes were covered with a fine mist and she murmured: "I don't know."
"Why don't you know? Will it take a long time?" Qiao Liang said.
Fang Xiaoya remained silent, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Qiao Liang continued: "What will happen to the group when you return to the United States?"
"I have given full authority to Mr. Li. With Mr. Li managing the group, I feel at ease." Fang Xiaoya said.
Qiao Liang nodded, that's true. With Li Youwei's ability and quality, Fang Xiaoya really doesn't have anything to worry about.
"Xiaoya, why do you suddenly think of returning to the United States? Is it just because you have to arrange for Enron's schooling and take care of Anron?"
Fang Xiaoya shook her head: "Actually, An Ran will go to school in the United States. Even if I don't go back, I can still make arrangements and someone will still take good care of her."
"Why is that?" Qiao Liang looked at Fang Xiaoya.
Fang Xiaoya picked up the wine glass, silently took a sip of red wine, then put down the wine glass, let out a slight sigh, and said softly: "After my father's accident, I returned to China, firstly to take charge of Chint Group, and secondly to
Find out the real cause of dad's death so that dad can rest in peace under the pain. At the same time, I also want to see you...
Now it seems that with your help and Mr. Li in the group, I can rest assured that the bad guys who killed my father have been repaid and punished, and my father's soul has also been comforted. At the same time, you are also doing a good job now.
In this case, I can finally feel at ease and feel relieved. In this case, it’s time for me to leave..."
"Xiaoya..." Qiao Liang didn't know what to say for a moment. Although Fang Xiaoya's reasons seemed sufficient, Qiao Liang still felt a little far-fetched.
"Qiao Liang, you think my reasons are not sufficient and I should continue to stay in Jiangzhou, right?" Fang Xiaoya said.
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded, "Xiaoya, this is the hometown where you were born and raised, your group and business are here, and your friends and relatives are here. Why do you want to stay away from your homeland and return to the United States?
"
Fang Xiaoya felt sad and indescribable in her heart. She admitted that what Qiao Liang said was reasonable. Even if other factors were excluded, she was unwilling to leave Jiangzhou just because Qiao Liang was there. But, but,
Because she couldn't tell Qiao Liang, she had no other better choice but to leave.
"Relatives? My parents are no longer alive. Who are my relatives in Jiangzhou?" Fang Xiaoya's voice trembled slightly.
"I, Xiaoya, I am your relative." Qiao Liang said.
"Are you just my relative?" Fang Xiaoya looked at Qiao Liang.
"I..." Qiao Liang didn't know what to say for a moment, and there was a faint pain in her heart.
"Qiao Liang, in your heart, do you have anything else besides friendship and family affection for me?" Fang Xiaoya asked again.
"I... don't know." Qiao Liang murmured.
"You know, it's just that you don't want to face it." Fang Xiaoya looked at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang did not dare to look directly at Fang Xiaoya and lowered his head.
Fang Xiaoya was silent for a moment: "Qiao Liang, actually I know that love depends on fate and the compatibility of souls from the heart. It cannot be forced. I also understand that we have known each other for so many years. If we were destined to be together, we would have been there long ago.
Just together...
Although I had realized this before, I was unwilling to accept it. I always thought that the reason why you did not dare to accept my confession before was because of the huge gap between your heart and reality. Therefore, 8 years after graduation, I returned to Jiangzhou.
Still want to keep working hard.
But I finally understand that no matter how much I love you deep in my heart, no matter how much I want our friendship to develop into love, your affection for me is getting stronger and stronger. I finally know that there are all kinds of friendship in the world
, only love cannot be forced.
On the one hand, this family relationship makes me disappointed, but on the other hand, I feel happy. Having a brother like you is a blessing I gained from my previous life. Your kindness to me will be remembered in my heart for the rest of my life. Sometimes I often think,
Perhaps all this has been arranged by God. If this is the case in this life, then let’s do it in the next life..."
Listening to Fang Xiaoya's words, Qiao Liang's heart trembled, and she felt guilty, a little sad and painful.
"Xiaoya, actually, maybe the relationship between us is not what you think."
"What's that like?" Fang Xiaoya looked at Qiao Liang with bright eyes.
Unspeakable pain welled up in Qiao Liang's heart, and she said sadly: "Perhaps, now I don't dare to love, I don't know how to love, I don't know what love is, and I'm not qualified to talk about love..."
Fang Xiaoya stared deeply at Qiao Liang, remained silent for a moment and said, "Maybe I should understand you, but even if you say you love me now and want to be with me, I won't accept it."
Qiao Liang was startled: "Xiaoya, why?"
Fang Xiaoya smiled sadly: "There are not so many reasons in this world, everything is destined by God."
Qiao Liang looked at Fang Xiaoya blankly, not understanding what she meant by what she said.
Fang Xiaoya then murmured: "Perhaps, loving someone does not necessarily mean that you will get it. Perhaps, the longing, concern and blessing deep in your heart are the truest and deepest love. Qiao Liang, our classmate,
Friends, brothers and sisters, no matter where I am, I will always think of you and bless you..."
Qiao Liang continued to look at Fang Xiaoya blankly.
Fang Xiaoya looked at Qiao Liang and smiled again: "Actually, I'd rather you treat me as my sister now. I also like having you as my brother. Come on, brother, let's have a drink at the brother-sister bar."
After speaking, Fang Xiaoya raised her wine glass.
Qiao Liang didn't move.
"What? You don't like having me as your sister?" Fang Xiaoya said.
Qiao Liang slowly raised his wine glass.
Fang Xiaoya and Qiao Liang clinked their wine glasses and smiled slightly: "Brother, my sister wishes you a drink first."
After saying that, Fang Xiaoya drank.
Seeing Fang Xiaoya drinking, Qiao Liang also drank slowly.
At this time, Qiao Liang obviously felt that Fang Xiaoya's drinking of brother-sister wine was a bit far-fetched and not from the heart, but she couldn't think of the reason for the moment.
