"Is this important?" Liang Jian asked.
Old Tang nodded: "Of course it is important. If you are just looking for your friend in Ningzhou, then I advise you that it is best to ask your friend to stop immediately and don't investigate further. Otherwise, the consequences may not be what you want to see.
.”
When Old Tang said this, Liang Jian became more certain that they must know something. He suddenly became angry. He didn't understand, no matter what the truth was about Hu Xiaoying, why did they hide it from him?
Just when Liang Jiang was about to speak, Old Tang jumped in and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you the truth..."
"Old Tang..." Tang Yi seemed to want to stop him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Old Tang raised his hand to stop him. Old Tang continued to say to Liang Jian: "However, you must ask your friend to stop immediately."
Liang Jian stared at him for a while and said, "Okay, I promise you. But you have to tell me the truth first."
Old Tang nodded, then he looked at Tang Yi and said, "Tell me, you know this matter better."
Tang Yi glanced at Old Tang, then at Liang Jian, then sighed and said: "Before I tell you the truth, I want to tell you that the reason why we decided to hide it from you is because we are worried that you might act impulsively and do something extreme.
Here comes the thing. Old Tang and I both know how much weight this woman Hu Xiaoying has in your heart. So, if you want to listen to me, you have to promise that you can't be impulsive and you have to stay calm."
Liang Jian took a deep breath and said, "Okay!"
In fact, there is no need for Tang Yi to say that Liang Jian will no longer be impulsive on this matter. The relationship between him and Hu Xiaoying has long changed. The reason why he cares so much about the truth of this matter is partly because of his past friendship.
The other part is also for myself.
Tang Yi told everything that happened at that time, not in detail, but Liang Jian knew everything he wanted to know, except for the boss behind the scenes, a certain leader of Jiang Province. Tang Yi did not give his specific name.
.
Liang Jian asked him: "Is it Qiao Renliang?"
Tang Yi shook his head and said: "Qiao Renliang not only did not frame her, but also helped her. If it hadn't been for him, Hu Xiaoying would not have been able to get away from that incident so quickly."
"Who is that?" Liang Jian asked.
Tang Yi didn't plan to tell Liang Jian.
Liang Jian suddenly became a little irritable again. He couldn't understand why Tang Yi still kept it from him until now.
But Tang Yi said to him: I think you must know what kind of place the officialdom is. It is not difficult to guess what kind of results a woman with no background but some beauty will have in such a place.
In fact, if Hu Xiaoying hadn't been so strong, she might not have reached that point. But she was too strong and wanted to climb up too much. Once your ambition is exposed, there will always be someone who will follow suit, but the next step is
They are just waiting for you to be trapped. Hu Xiaoying was indeed framed in that incident, but she was not completely without responsibility.
This is not what Liang Jian wants to hear. Regardless of whether Hu Xiaoying is responsible or not, as long as she was framed, she has the right to justice.
If this world doesn't even have the most basic justice, then what else can people fight for in this world?
Liang Jian wanted to press Tang Yi again. Old Tang, who had been silent until now, spoke: "Liang Jian, stop asking. The reason why Tang Yi didn't say that person's name is for your own good."
Liang Jian looked at him and said, "If it's really for my own good, why don't you ask me what I want?"
Old Tang looked at him, and after being silent for a while, he said, "Because sometimes, you may not know clearly whether what you want is right or wrong."
"What is right? Is it right to condone those who disregard the king's laws and allow them to continue to act recklessly?" Liang Jian was aggressive.
Old Tang's expression suddenly darkened and he said, "Do you think I am such a person? I only care about interests and not justice?"
Liang Jian didn't speak. He wanted to say no, but another voice objected loudly in his heart.
Old Tang was a little hurt. He sighed and said: "Liang Jian, Tang Yi and I are not omnipotent. There are times when we can't do whatever we want. I admit that I was a little selfish at the time. I hope that the relationship between you and Hu Xiaoying will be better."
The relationship between us can be completely drawn apart through that incident. Therefore, there are some things that I did not let Tang Yi tell you. But, for Hu Xiaoying, I did everything I could. Moreover, the result at that time,
It is the best for Hu Xiaoying. Do you think that after what happened, she can return to Jiang and continue to be her propaganda minister? She is just a female cadre with no background. There are so many civil servants in the country, and she is not an extra one.
More or less, she won’t be too much.”
Old Tang's words caused many ripples in Liang Jian's heart.
"Liang Jian, listen to me and let go. You already know the truth, that's enough." Old Tang said earnestly.
Liang Jian lowered his head and remained silent, feeling uncomplicated.
At this time, Tang Yi spoke: "Liang Jian, I hope that when you are thinking about avenging Hu Xiaoying, you will think about Xiang Jin and your two children. I don't know who you asked for help in Ningzhou.
Is that person married? Does he have children? Have you ever thought about him and his family? Liang Jian, people can't be too selfish. The past has to pass. You can't pull everyone to accompany you.
Your past pays the bill!”
Tang Yi's words were like a knife. Sharp and sharp.
Is he selfish?
Liang Jian asked himself, what he wanted was a negative answer, but the voice in his heart answered him with a one-word answer.
Liang Jian is selfish.
He smiled bitterly, laughed for a while, took out his mobile phone, and sent a text message to Yao Yong: "There is no need to investigate Hu's matter anymore."
Yao Yong didn't reply to his message. Liang Jian was only thinking about the word selfish and didn't think much about it.
He put away his phone, looked up at Old Tang, and said, "I have already sent a text message to my friend in Ningzhou so that he does not need to check again."
When Old Tang heard this, his expression became much more relaxed. He looked at Liang Jian and said, "Don't worry, if there is a chance in the future, I will find a way to give her an explanation."
Liang Jian nodded, then stood up: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"I'll give it to you," Old Tang said immediately.
Liang Jian forced a smile and shook his head, saying: "No, I can just take a taxi back. It's convenient."
Old Tang said he wanted to send him out again, but Liang Jian also stopped him. He wanted to walk alone.
After leaving the hotel, a man walked under the dim street lights. The light hit his face, showing a bit of helpless sadness.
He didn't want to go back, but he didn't know where to go. He stopped and looked at the streets with cars passing by. The dark night sky in the distance was like a sad curtain, rolling towards him.
Liang Jian finally couldn't hold it back and dialed Hu Xiaoying's phone number.
"Where are you? I want to see you." As soon as the call came through, Liang Jian said without waiting for Hu Xiaoying to answer.
In a private room of a certain hotel, Hu Xiaoying was eating and drinking with several business owners. When she heard Liang Jian's voice, she was stunned for a moment. After she realized what she was doing, she immediately covered her phone and then told the business owners:
He apologized and walked out in a hurry.
"What's wrong with you?" Hu Xiaoying asked worriedly.
Liang Jian took a deep breath and asked her: "Isn't it convenient now?"
Hu Xiaoying hesitated for a moment and said: "Tell me the address and I will come find you."
Liang Jian looked around and said, "I don't know where I am. I'll come find you."
Hu Xiaoying thought for a while and gave Liang Jian an address. It was a hotel.
Hu Xiaoying has no home in Beijing. She is like a piece of duckweed floating in Huajing City where these words are spoken. It’s not that she has no money, she just doesn’t want to buy a house. For her, an empty house with no one, even if it has her name written on it
, and it can’t give her the feeling of home.
What she wants is a person, not a house.
But from that day on, the person she wanted was destined to never be hers again.
As Hu Xiaoying sat in the car and rushed to the hotel, she had many plans in her mind, but in the end, she was still cruel and crossed out all these plans one by one.
Tang Yi said that she and him would never go back to the past, which she couldn't deny.
Liang Jian leaned against the car window and watched the car slowly go around the flower bed and drive down a gentle slope. He saw her getting out of a green taxi, her curvy figure wrapped in a fitted skirt, looking so graceful.
Time seems to leave no trace on her body, but she is still so moving.
only……
Liang Jian closed his eyes and opened them again. His eyes were much calmer.
When the car stopped, he got out and hurried over, catching up with her as she was walking towards the elevator.
She turned around to see him, was surprised, and said with some embarrassment: "You came very quickly!"
Liang Jian forced a smile.
After entering the elevator, neither of them spoke. They stood half a meter apart in the elevator, each listening to their own breathing and fighting with countless different voices in their hearts.
Finally entering the room, Hu Xiaoying asked him to sit down with some restraint, and went to boil water to make tea. Liang Jian looked at her walking back and said, "Don't be busy, I have something to ask you."
Hu Xiaoying stopped, paused, put down the kettle, walked to the sofa opposite Liang Jian, and sat down.
"What do you want to ask me?" Hu Xiaoying lowered her head and asked, her inner intuition already telling her that the next question would definitely not be a simple one.
Liang Jian took a deep breath, looked at her, stared into her eyes, and asked: "When my father and others sent you to the United States, did you do it voluntarily?"
Hu Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes. I volunteered."
Liang Jian paused for a while and asked again: "Why didn't you tell me the truth of the matter?"
Hu Xiaoying was stunned again, then she smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do if I tell you?"
"At least I can give you justice!" Liang Jian replied immediately.
Hu Xiaoying looked at him, with a complicated expression on her face. After a while, she suddenly laughed with a bright smile. After a long time, she said: "Thank you, Liang Jian! I couldn't let go of some things before. Today I heard
With your words, I think I can let go of those things. Tang Yi is right, I really should let go. You don't belong to me, you deserve better."
Liang Jian was stunned. Her smile at this moment was like that of many years ago. Scenes from the past were like a movie, flowing through her eyes like water.
She said she gave up.
What about him?
His gloomy mood gradually became lighter and brighter under her smile. She had already let go, so there was nothing he could not let go of.
Old Tang was right, the past had to be let go, and he could not drag others along with him to be burdened by his past.
