Xu Chunliang said: "I am just a department-level cadre of a prefecture-level city, and these matters are not under my control."
Feng Mingjun sighed and said: "As long as you understand, I have a hunch that something big will happen recently. Your best choice is to stay away from right and wrong."
Xu Chunliang said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Feng Mingjun put out the cigarette, looked at the vast dusk in the distance, and said softly: "Do you know why your godmother divorced Ye Changyuan?"
Xu Chunliang said: "It seems because she disagrees with the marriage between Sister Qingya and Qiao Rulong."
Feng Mingjun shook his head: "Because the Lin family does not want the Qiaoye family to unite, Sijin and her daughter are actually victims of political interests."
Xu Chunliang sighed secretly, even a strong man like Lin Sijin had to bow his head in front of reality. He remembered one thing. His mother might have some knowledge about Qiao Yuanshan, and maybe she knew this person. He found the photo and showed it to Feng Mingjun.
Feng Mingjun was also confused after seeing the photo: "I don't recognize him."
Xu Chunliang didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly: "Do you think this person is Qiao Yuanshan?"
Feng Mingjun shook his head and said: "No!"
Xu Chun was stunned. His mother would not lie to him. Ever since he and Ye Qingya went to Duyun Temple and found those messy stone carvings, he had suspected that Monk Tonghui was Qiao Yuanshan, but when he asked several people who had seen Qiao Yuanshan, they all said no.
It seems that my suspicions were in the wrong direction.
But if Monk Tonghui is not Qiao Yuanshan, how should we explain the stone carvings in the cave?
Feng Mingjun said: "Why are you interested in Qiao Yuanshan's affairs?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I suspect this person is Qiao Yuanshan."
Feng Mingjun took his phone again to confirm, shook his head and said, "No!"
Xu Chunliang said: "Have you ever seen this woman?"
Feng Mingjun said: "Qiao Yuanshan and I are not familiar with each other, and I have never seen this woman before. Do you suspect that this girl is Mei Ruxue?"
Xu Chunliang laughed, he indeed had such an idea.
Feng Mingjun said: "I have seen Mei Ruxue when she was a child, and this photo is definitely not her."
Xu Chunliang was also shaken now. Maybe Tong Hui and Qiao Yuanshan were two different people: "Why did Qiao Yuanshan run away from home back then?"
Feng Mingjun smiled calmly and said: "Who said he ran away from home? It's just what the Qiao family said to the outside world. I only heard that Qiao Yuanshan was on the rise back then, but suddenly he was found to have problems. This problem is not just about his lifestyle.
, and suspected of betraying national interests."
Xu Chunliang secretly thought that it was no wonder. If it was just a matter of lifestyle, the strong strength of the Qiao family should be able to suppress this matter. However, the latter is a taboo of the system. No matter what your background is, once it is verified, there will be no room for maneuver.
Feng Mingjun said: "I have only heard that. I have not investigated the real situation. You are innocent and live your own life freely. Why do you need to intervene in other people's disputes?"
Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "I remember."
Feng Mingjun said: "I have been assigned to work abroad recently and will be away for a long time. If you don't want to study abroad, I can't force you."
Xu Chunliang said: "You must pay attention to safety wherever you go. You are not young anymore. You should try your best not to do high-risk jobs."
Feng Mingjun felt warmed by her son's concern: "Okay, just take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about me." She knew very well that her son's words were not directed at her alone.
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "I am already an adult. Even if I encounter trouble, I will be able to solve it, so you can just rest assured."
Feng Mingjun reached out and held her son's face and squeezed it hard. She pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but finally she controlled it and said softly: "Actually, we just want you to be an ordinary person."
Xu Chunliang said: "I am just an ordinary person."
Feng Mingjun patted his face gently: "Boy, how many women have you deceived?"
Xu Chunliang said: "That's not cheating, it's just mutual love."
Feng Mingjun pinched his ears: "You bastard!"
Qiao Rulong has not calmed down until now. When he returned home, he first went to find his sister.
Mei Ruxue is packing up, she will report to Dongzhou next week.
Seeing Qiao Rulong's face looking so ugly, the first thing that came to mind was his body.
"Brother, why do you look so ugly? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Qiao Rulong shook his head and sat down on the chair: "What are you..."
Mei Ruxue said: "I'm going to report for duty next week, so I'll pack up in advance."
Qiao Rulong said oh and whispered: "Go to Dongzhou."
Mei Ruxue said: "Didn't you already know this?" She continued to pack her things.
Qiao Rulong said: "I saw Xu Chunliang."
Mei Ruxue said calmly: "Let's go to the Dongzhou Consulate in Beijing." Her brother sent her to the Consulate in Beijing and must have seen Xu Chunliang. As for whether they had chatted in private, Mei Ruxue didn't know, and she didn't take the initiative to ask.
Now that the elder brother has said it, it proves that there should be communication between them.
Qiao Rulong said: "I thought he lived in the Beijing Office, but after asking, I found out that he has been living in Ye Qingya's studio during this period."
Mei Ruxue obviously paused, but she quickly continued to clean up and said softly: "He is sister Qingya's godbrother, this is normal."
Qiao Rulong said: "But I heard something is a little abnormal."
Mei Ruxue put down the book in her hand and turned to Qiao Rulong: "Brother, you and Sister Qingya have divorced. You are no longer married. She is free to associate with whomever she wants, and you have no right to interfere."
Qiao Rulong said: "I don't want to interfere with her. She can associate with anyone, but she can't associate with Xu Chunliang."
Mei Ruxue turned around silently, did not speak, and just pursed her lips slightly. She actually noticed it because Ye Qingya mentioned Xu Chunliang's inadvertent expression when they met her. Mei Ruxue just didn't
I would like to think about it carefully and quietly remind myself that the story between myself and Xu Chunliang is over.
Qiao Rulong said: "You know Xu Chunliang's character better than anyone else. He is basically using Ye Qingya. He hopes to use Ye Qingya to achieve the purpose of clinging to the Ye family, just like he did to you..."
"It's different!" Mei Ruxue turned around angrily, her clear eyes shining with angry light.
Qiao Rulong said: "Why is it different? He had a purpose from the beginning when he approached you..."
"That's enough!" Mei Ruxue interrupted her brother with a sharp voice.
Qiao Rulong looked at his sister in shock. In his memory, his sister had always respected him. Why did she suddenly become like this?
Mei Ruxue said: "Brother, you have changed. You were not so open-minded in the past. The relationship between Xu Chunliang and me is not as complicated as you imagined. The reason why we broke up was not because of emotional problems. Xu Chunliang does not owe
We, the Qiao family, don’t owe you anything!”
Qiao Rulong's heart beat faster again. He felt his throat was dry and he kept swallowing. His hands began to tremble slightly.
"I...I just care about you..." Even he himself found this sentence unconvincing.
Mei Ruxue said: "Brother, you don't have to worry about me. I can definitely handle my own affairs. I didn't go to Dongzhou for Xu Chunliang. You can't live just for feelings."
Qiao Rulong wanted to laugh to resolve the embarrassment at the moment, but he couldn't.
Mei Ruxue said: "We all know what grandpa's biggest regret is. I may not be able to do it well, but I don't want him to be disappointed."
Qiao Rulong's violently beating heart squeezed the hot blood onto his face. His sister's words were like a thorn piercing deeply into his heart. He thought he was insinuating himself. Qiao Rulong yelled: "Yes, it was me who let grandpa down."
, I brought shame to the Qiao family, but it’s not your turn to teach me a lesson. Don’t forget, your surname is Mei!”
Mei Ruxue's pretty face turned pale in an instant, and she bit her lip hard.
After Qiao Rulong blurted out these words, he immediately regretted it. In front of him was his sister. Although he was not born from the same mother, he had always loved and cared for this sister. He had never said a harsh word to her face, let alone revealed it directly like this.
her scar.
Mei Ruxue didn't say anything, she just walked out of the room silently. Qiao Rulong chased her out: "Xiaoxue, listen to my explanation..."
Mei Ruxue hurried down the stairs as if she hadn't heard. Qiao Rulong chased her outside. When she saw her grandfather reading a newspaper in the living room downstairs, she immediately gave up the idea of continuing to chase.
When Mei Ruxue saw her grandfather, her steps immediately slowed down, she came to his side and said hello: "Grandpa."
Old Qiao said: "Go out?"
Mei Ruxue said: "Well, let's go out for a walk."
Mr. Qiao stood up and said, "I feel bored after staying at home for a long time. Let's go and walk around together."
Mei Ruxue could only nod.
The two men came outside together and walked along the path in the courtyard to the small park at the back. Mr. Qiao saw the scattered fallen leaves on the road and sighed softly: "It's late autumn again."
Mei Ruxue said: "The weather is getting colder, so you should pay more attention to your health. I will go to Dongzhou tomorrow."
Mr. Qiao said: "Did Wang Jianming come to the capital?"
Mei Ruxue nodded: "I went to see him in the afternoon, and he asked me to greet you on my behalf. This time, his schedule was too tight, so he couldn't spare the time to come and visit you."
Mr. Qiao said calmly: "Let it go."
Mei Ruxue vaguely sensed some displeasure in her grandfather's words. She knew very well that her grandfather had helped Wang Jianming take charge of Dongzhou. However, Wang Jianming did have to deal with many troubles when he came to Beijing this time.
Mr. Mei Ruxue went to the Beijing Office today and they talked about some things. Mei Ruxue believed that Wang Jianming came to Beijing this time to seek help to solve the problem.
Mr. Qiao looked at the sunset in the distance and said softly: "What did Rulong want to do with you just now?"
"It's nothing." Mei Ruxue naturally did not dare to tell her grandfather the details of their conversation.
Mr. Qiao sighed and said: "He has changed. Since the operation, he has become more and more unfamiliar to me. Xiaoxue, I have heard a saying that many people's personalities will change after receiving a heart transplant. You said this
