Chapter 760: No cards to play (additional update for leader Chen Zucheng)
Xu Chunliang said: "Good suggestion, I will find a place to move bricks when I get back."
"Listen to others and eat enough."
Mr. Qiao pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. The time spent was hard to turn back. Walking into this courtyard was like walking into a yellowed world, and memories about the past appeared in his mind like a movie.
Xu Chunliang said: "You used to live here?"
Mr. Qiao nodded and said, "Our family has lived here for many years. Your godfather's family lives in the back, and the Wang family lives in the front. Our three families moved here almost at the same time, so it is the best emotionally."
Only then did Xu Chunliang realize that the three families had a long history.
Mr. Qiao sighed: "Things are so different from each other!"
Xu Chunliang said: "You must have spent a happy time here in your old age."
Mr. Qiao said: "How can we see it?"
"If you weren't happy, you wouldn't come back to feel nostalgic."
Mr. Qiao said with a smile: "Happiness has always been relative, that's why there is a saying that you are born in blessings and don't know the blessings. Only when you are really unhappy, you will realize that the ordinary days in the past are happiness. A little indulgence in happiness
It’s fleeting, you don’t know how to cherish it when you have it, but when you want it, it’s already out of reach.”
Xu Chunliang said: "The lower the expectations of life are, the easier it is for people to be happy."
Mr. Qiao said: "People have to grow up. Living in this world, the higher you go, the lower your happiness will be. Others think you have gained everything, but they don't know that you actually suffer more than the average person."
Xu Chunliang said: "I only see thieves eating meat, but I don't see thieves being beaten."
Qiao Lao laughed and scolded: "Presumptuous!"
Xu Chunliang said: "Don't misinterpret my meaning."
Mr. Qiao said: "You went to Ye's house?"
Xu Chunliang nodded.
Mr. Qiao said: "It's useless. Qingya and Rulong should be separated."
Xu Chunliang said: "That's not necessarily the case. As long as Brother Long recovers, they can live their little life happily as before." Xu Chunliang didn't think Qiao Rulong did anything treacherous, he just didn't do it well.
It's just confidentiality work.
Mr. Qiao said: "In a family like ours, marriage has never been a matter of two people."
Xu Chunliang secretly thought that this sentence should be meant for him. Although Mr. Qiao acquiesced in his association with Mei Ruxue, Mr. Qiao had never publicly expressed his approval for their marriage. In Mr. Qiao's heart, he had always
None of them are Mei Ruxue's ideal marriage partner.
Mr. Qiao said: "Don't over-interpret my words."
Xu Chunliang said: "It is inevitable not to think too much."
Mr. Qiao said: "Your psychological quality is excellent, I can't attack you."
Xu Chunliang sighed: "You, old lady, understand me well. My ability to withstand a beating is pretty good."
Mr. Qiao said: "On the way back from Dongzhou, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that I was dead."
Xu Chunliang coughed: "Good luck and good luck. I heard that dreams are opposite to reality. You should always encounter good things."
Mr. Qiao said: "Listen to me first. In my dream, I died. I was lying in a coffin alone, covered with a party flag. Except for Xiaoxue who was crying, my family and friends were all laughing."
Xu Chunliang heard that he didn't have any role in the co-writing. He even dreamed of Mei Ruxue. Could he really not be by her side if it was such a big thing?
Mr. Qiao said: "I have always tried my best to do something for the people around me, but what I give may not be what they want."
Xu Chunliang is of course aware of Mr. Qiao's unequivocal position in the family, and he also has some understanding of the affairs of the Qiao family. The marriages of Qiao Yuanjiang's brothers and sisters were facilitated by Mr. Qiao, especially Qiao Yuanshan. Qiao Yuanshan's choice to run away from home may be a sign of Mr. Qiao's feelings.
A silent struggle against authority.
"Rulong actually doesn't want to enter politics. I suggested him to do so. He is very clear about my expectations of him. He has endured too much pressure over the years."
Xu Chunliang said: "Don't you blame him?"
Mr. Qiao shook his head: "What's the use of blaming him for what happened? Even if I blame him, can I never forgive him?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I feel that Mr. Ye still has room for maneuver in his attitude."
Mr. Qiao said: "What if I am no longer here? All the accumulated anger will come back to me in greater numbers. Who else in the Qiao family can withstand this storm?" He slowly shook his head and said, "None of them!"
Xu Chunliang said: "Aren't you always unable to accept the mediocrity of your descendants?"
Mr. Qiao said: "Being born in a family like ours, the sense of crisis should be stronger than others. People in the system, as long as they want to do something, it is impossible not to make enemies. In my life, I have no shame in my heart and the people, and I have safeguarded the majority.
People's interests will inevitably affect the interests of a small number of people. As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. You don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me in the dark. They dare not touch the Qiao family now because I am here.
If one day I leave, those people will inflict all their hatred on my family."
Xu Chunliang fell silent. Mr. Qiao had never talked to him so honestly as he did today. He was not alarmist, everything he said was reality.
Mr. Qiao said: "On the battlefield, once you are injured, in the eyes of others, you have lost your combat effectiveness. Most people will not regard you as a comrade, but as a burden. Leaving you where you are to die is the most merciful thing to do.
If they are worried about you falling into the hands of the enemy and leaking secrets, they will most likely give you a good deal."
Xu Chunliang said: "Fortunately, it is a peaceful era."
Mr. Qiao said softly: "War is everywhere." He came to the main door, and the door was still locked. When Xu Chunliang was about to repeat his old trick, Mr. Qiao stopped him: "No need."
Xu Chunliang said: "Actually, things are not as pessimistic as you always thought. Brother Long's recovery is going very well."
Mr. Qiao said: "Even if he recovers completely, he will not be able to return to his original position. Someone will take advantage of this incident to ruin his reputation."
Xu Chunliang said: "In the worst case, I can go back to business and stay away from right and wrong. There's nothing wrong with that."
Mr. Qiao said: "Xiaoxue's father also had a problem when his career was on the rise. Over the years, I have been looking for an answer."
Xu Chunliang said: "Why do you always have to worry about what happened?"
Mr. Qiao said: "Chunliang, you are a good boy, and your grandfather is a good man. In my heart, I have never thought that you are not worthy of Xiaoxue. I just think that there is no need for you to get involved in the Qiao family's affairs."
Xu Chunliang said: "Grandpa Qiao, I didn't want to interfere in your family's affairs. I just wanted to help Xiaoxue share some of the burden."
Mr. Qiao stared at Xu Chunliang's eyes for a long time and whispered: "You can't share her affairs."
Xu Chun's heart sank, what does Mr. Qiao mean?
Mr. Qiao said: "Everyone in the Qiao family cannot choose their own destiny. You are different. You have a choice."
Xu Chunliang said: "I chose Xiaoxue."
Mr. Qiao nodded: "What if I said that Xiaoxue might bring you or even your Xu family bad luck in the future?"
Xu Chunliang's heart sank again.
Mr. Qiao said: "I'm just making an analogy. If this is the case, will you regret your current choice?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I only know that whoever dares to bully Xiaoxue, I will never let him go."
Mr. Qiao stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder: "My granddaughter met you because of her fate. Chunliang, promise me one thing. You will not interfere with Rulong's affairs in the future."
Xu Chunliang said: "You have already taken action yourself, so naturally it has nothing to do with me. I came to Beijing this time mainly because I was entrusted by Xiaoxue. She is worried about your health."
Mr. Qiao said: "Xiaoxue is filial. You don't have to accompany me. I just want to stay alone for a while. You can do whatever you want. And... I won't go to Dongzhou for the time being."
When Xu Chunliang left, Xiao Wu was waiting outside, and Xu Chunliang said hello to him.
Xiao Wu whispered: "How is Mr. Qiao feeling?"
Xu Chunliang said: "The old man is used to seeing wind and waves, what does this little wind and waves mean?"
In fact, he understood that Qiao Rulong's car accident had a great impact on Mr. Qiao. From the conversation just now, he learned that Mr. Qiao had decided to let Qiao Rulong withdraw from the system in order to preserve the reputation of the Qiao family. This meant that Qiao Rulong's
The road to the system ends just as it begins.
Xiao Wudao: "This time it's all my fault. If I had driven, maybe something like this wouldn't have happened."
Xu Chunliang said: "I'm afraid this matter is not up to you."
Xiao Wu sighed.
Xu Chunliang told him to accompany the old man and left.
After leaving, he called Mei Ruxue as soon as possible and explained Mr. Qiao's situation to reassure her.
Mei Ruxue told Xu Chunliang that she originally planned to go back tomorrow, but Ye Qingya left just now. She suspected that Ye Qingya must know something, and Ye Qingya's departure was most likely related to Wang Jiancheng.
Only then did Xu Chunliang realize that Wang Jiancheng had gone to Dongzhou specifically to visit Qiao Rulong. After listening to Mei Ruxue's words, he recalled what Wang Jiancheng had said to him in the past, and suddenly realized that Wang Jiancheng had never liked anything like
Mei Ruxue, the person he has always liked is Ye Qingya. This trip to Dongzhou was called to visit Qiao Rulong, but actually he was looking for Ye Qingya.
Xu Chunliang had a pretty good impression of Wang Jiancheng in the past, thinking that this man had always been able to take things up and let them go, but his behavior this time was really unflattering. Before Qiao Rulong died, he was already thinking about his wife.
No wonder Mr. Qiao is worried. The current situation of the Qiao family can be described as being surrounded on all sides. Even if Mr. Qiao is still alive, if Mr. Qiao really gets old, I am afraid that the Qiao family will really face an unprecedented storm.
However, based on Xu Chunliang's understanding of Mr. Qiao, this old man has never been a submissive person. In all likelihood, he has already begun to plan a counterattack. It's just that families like them still compete for the future in the end. The Qiao family is currently climbing in the system.
The top one is Qiao Yuanjiang, but Qiao Yuanjiang cannot be compared with Ye Changyuan at all. As for Qiao Rulong, he has basically announced that he has stopped the path of the system.
Xu Chunliang is very curious, what cards does Mr. Qiao have left to play? Does he want to place all his hopes on Mei Ruxue?
Although Mei Ruxue has some abilities, she is a girl after all, with inherent shortcomings and she herself is not very interested in the path of the system.
