Early on Saturday morning, Liang Jian's car set off from home. It was windy and rainy, and there were a lot of cars on the highway. Xiaowu was very good at driving, and he took his time. Liang Jian and Xiang Jin sat in the back. Nishang had a cold and
I had no companions and stayed at home.
It’s not that far from Yongzhou to Ningzhou. When I woke up after squinting, it was already halfway through the journey. When we arrived at the rest stop, Liang Jian proposed to switch with Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu said it was still possible, but Liang Jian didn’t insist.
After resting for a while, we continued on the road. About an hour later, we arrived in Ningzhou City. I haven’t been back to Ningzhou for a while. The scenery on the street has not changed much. The buildings that were under construction when I left are still under construction.
.
Looking at the time, even though they left very early, it was still past ten o'clock. The appointment with Zhang Qiang was for dinner, so there was no rush. Liang Jian and the others went back to their home not far from the East Lake first. They wouldn't go back for a long time.
I'm afraid the dust has accumulated several feet thick at home.
But when Liang Jian and the others entered the door, they were shocked. The room was very clean and tidy, as if someone had always lived there. Liang Jian looked at Xiang Jin, and Xiang Jin looked at him. Suddenly, Liang
Jian thought that Mo Feifei had the key to this house. Maybe she had been here.
Liang Jian thought about it and told Xiang Jin. Xiang Jin also thought it was possible. In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Liang Jian made a phone call to Mo Feifei to verify it and told her by the way that they had arrived today.
Ningzhou, I will stay in this house at night.
After Mo Feifei heard that they were in Ningzhou, she immediately said: "I happen to be going to Ningzhou later, so let's have dinner together tonight. You do it. I'll come back to eat."
Liang Jian smiled and said: "We have something to do in the evening, not at home. Let's have lunch tomorrow, okay?"
Mo Feifei agreed. Liang Jian asked him again: "Are you going to stay here tonight?"
Mo Feifei smiled and said: "If you think I can't let go of more than one, I can stay in a hotel outside." Although Liang Jian is a man and has experienced a lot, he was still teased by Mo Feifei like this.
Feeling a little embarrassed, he smiled and cursed: "You are a poor talker. What can't we let go of? It's up to you to decide whether you want to come back or not, but I will have many handsome guys staying here tonight."
When Mo Feifei heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked with a smile: "Handsome guy? How handsome is he? Are you still single?"
Liang Jian glanced at Xiao Wu and said: "Absolutely single, to use the current Internet buzzwords, absolutely a young man." Xiao Wu next to him seemed to feel that Liang Jian was talking about him, and glanced at him,
There seemed to be a little shyness on his brown face. Liang Jian smiled and said to Mo Feifei: "You decide for yourself. I have to clean up, so I won't tell you anymore."
After hanging up the phone, Liang Jian took Xiao Wu to the guest room and made some arrangements. After tidying up a little, the three of them went out to eat. After eating, they walked around the city and bought some gifts.
At around 4:30, Liang Jian and Xiang Jin adjusted their appearance and prepared to go out. Xiaowu followed and was about to send them to the provincial government compound, but Liang Jian stopped them.
Liang Jian said: "You should have a good rest today. You drove for a few hours in the morning and walked with us all afternoon, and you are tired. The key is on the table over there. If you want to go out later, take it with you. You can have dinner by yourself
Make arrangements. We won't be back until about ** o'clock."
Xiao Wu didn't insist and nodded. After leaving the door, Liang Jian suddenly remembered that Mo Feifei might be coming. It seemed that he hadn't officially told Xiao Wu yet, so he stopped again and said to Xiao Wu: "Maybe later."
A girl will come over, her name is Mo Feifei. If she comes over, she should stay here at night. Let me tell you first to avoid any misunderstandings."
Xiaowu was stunned when he heard that a girl would stay here at night, but didn't say anything.
It was nearly five o'clock, it was the weekend again, and the roads in Ningzhou City were busy with traffic. Not far after Liang Jian drove out of the community, he was stuck in a traffic light. After being blocked for more than ten minutes, he barely passed the traffic light. Liang Jian looked at it
Looking at the time, he frowned. Dinner was at half past five. If it had been going at this speed all the time, it would have been a bit nervous to rush there. Xiang Jin was beside him and his expression was quite calm. When he turned around, he saw that Liang Jian had a serious look on his face.
Said: "Don't worry, you should be able to catch up."
Liang Jian nodded.
Fortunately, at about 5:10, Liang Jian saw the door of the provincial capital compound. Just as he was relieved and about to turn towards the door, his eyes suddenly stopped. A somewhat familiar car came out of the door.
They drove past and headed towards the gate of the provincial capital compound. Liang Jian followed the car with his eyes. After seeing the license plate clearly, something in his heart suddenly hurt.
"Why don't you leave?" Xiang Jin's voice suddenly sounded, and Liang Jian woke up. Hearing the horn blaring behind him, he hurriedly turned the corner. At this time, the car had already entered the provincial capital compound.
Liang Jian followed, and when he was at the door, the car stopped. The guard came over and asked. After Liang Jian explained, the guard who had received the instructions quickly put Liang Jian's car in.
It has entered autumn, and the leaves of the trees in the courtyard have begun to turn yellow. Previously, the road was always clean without a single fallen leaf, but now there are only a few, all green with a hint of yellow.
There were no people along the way. We did encounter some cars. However, we didn’t see the familiar car. I guess it must have already arrived there.
Sure enough, among the cars parked in the parking space outside the house where Zhang Qiang lived, there was that familiar car. Liang Jian's eyes narrowed and he took it back. After parking the car, the two got out of the car.
Che.Liang Jian took the gift and walked into the yard.
As soon as he entered, he saw someone walking out of the house. An old friend. Xia Churong was dressed in casual clothes and walked casually out of the room. As soon as he came out, he saw Liang Jian. His face suddenly lit up and he laughed loudly:
"You've finally arrived. I'll be waiting for you."
Liang Jian took Xiang Jin to greet him and explained sheepishly: "There is a traffic jam on the road, so I'm late."
The two shook hands, and Xia Churong raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "You're doing a great job in Yongzhou. I saw that right!"
Liang Jian smiled sheepishly and said, "It's just luck."
Xia Churong said: "Luck is also a part of strength! Besides, you don't just rely on luck. Don't be humble. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have done as well as you."
Liang Jian hurriedly said: "How can I compare with Xia Ting." When Xia Churong heard this title, he said with fake anger: "Today is a private banquet, I don't belong to Xia Ting. If you don't mind, call me Brother Xia."
Liang Jian hurriedly called Brother Xia. After calling, he hurriedly introduced Xiang Jin. In fact, they had all met before, but formally, it was the first time. Xiang Jin followed Xia Churong and called Brother Xia. Xia Churong looked very happy.
.
At this time, another person walked out of the door, but it was Minister Zhou. Seeing him, Liang Jian was a little surprised. Minister Zhou did not seem to be very close to Zhang Qiang in the past, but today Zhang Qiang's dinner, which was like a family banquet, was called
Liang Jian had some doubts in his heart.
Minister Zhou shouted to them: "Lao Xia, what are you doing standing there? Bring Liang Jian and the others in quickly. We are waiting for you to start eating."
When Xia Churong heard this, he hurriedly said to Liang Jian: "Then let's go in."
After entering the house, Liang Jian took a look and saw how many people were there. Secretary Zhao from the Discipline Inspection Commission, Gao Chenghan, and Yao Jian. However, he did not see that familiar figure. Liang Jian was stunned. He clearly saw her car.
It's right outside, why isn't she here?
Just as he was thinking about it, Gao Chenghan walked up and said, "Long time no see!"
Liang Jian came back to his senses and started chatting with him. After saying a few words, Zhang Qiang's wife Ge Hui came out of the kitchen. Seeing Liang Jian and Xiang Jin, she smiled and said, "Liang Jian, you are here, let's start dinner."
.”
After the words fell, a figure appeared behind Ge Hui, and Liang Jian's eyes focused. Her eyes crossed Ge Hui's and met him in the air. The expressions in their eyes changed from joy to complexity.
Hu Xiaoying stood behind Ge Hui in a close-fitting dress, her figure still attractive. Her eyes fell from Liang Jian's face to Xiang Jin, who was standing next to him.
Then moved away again.
There was a dull pain somewhere in Liang Jian's heart, which made him dare not look at her. At this moment, Xiang Jin's hand suddenly came over and held Liang Jian's hand. The warmth and coolness in his hand made Liang Jian suddenly change from just now.
It was a bit hazy, as if he and she were the only ones left in the world. He turned to look at Xiang Jin, and Xiang Jin also looked at him.
Xiang Jin smiled slightly and said, "You haven't introduced me yet."
Liang Jian suddenly woke up and hurriedly introduced Xiang Jin one by one. When he introduced Hu Xiaoying, Liang Jian was about to speak, but Hu Xiaoying spoke first. She looked directly at Xiang Jin with a calm look in her eyes, stretched out her hand,
Neither humble nor arrogant, he said in a very calm tone: "We have met several times before. This time I would like to formally introduce you to Hu Xiaoying, Liang Jian's former colleague in Jingzhou."
Xiang Jin nodded and said, "Xiang Jin, Liang Jian's wife."
Hu Xiaoying's expression did not change at all. The two generally slender and white hands touched each other lightly, then let go and retracted each other.
Hu Xiaoying asked again: "Where are the neon clothes? Why didn't you bring them?"
Liang Jian wanted to answer, but was overtaken by Xiang Jin: "I caught a cold. I was afraid that riding in the car for a long time would be bad for her, so I asked her to stay at home." Hu Xiaoying answered: "Autumn is here, the weather is cold, and it is indeed easy to catch a cold.
.You adults should also pay attention."
Xiang Jin nodded and said, "Well, thank you Sister Hu for your concern."
Hu Xiaoying smiled. At this moment, Zhang Qiang came out of the study. Seeing Liang Jian, he said: "You are here. Let's eat."
Zhang Qiang's words ended this seemingly harmonious but extremely tense conversation, which was equivalent to saving Liang Jian. When he took his seat, for some reason, Hu Xiaoying took advantage of Liang Jian. In this way, Liang Jian
There was a woman on either side of Jian. Liang Jian couldn't help but feel on pins and needles.
He did not expect that Hu Xiaoying would come today. There was not much reconciliation between Hu Xiaoying and Zhang Qiang. Even though the relationship between Zhang Qiang and Hu Xiaoying had improved in the past few months, Zhang Qiang knew what happened to Liang Jian and Hu Xiaoying, and why
Will he remind Liang Jian to bring Xiang Jin, but at the same time invite Hu Xiaoying?
Liang Jian looked at Zhang Qiang, who seemed to have no idea about Liang Jian's suffering at the moment. He sat at the main seat with a calm expression, watching Ge Hui and her aunt serve the dishes, while saying this to Xia Churong.
