Zhao Feiyang said: "Mr. Qiao, you should rest in peace and recuperate, and you can put other things aside."
Qiao Rulong said: "I don't know why I am calling you. I just want to find a friend to talk to. Unfortunately, there is no one around me who can talk to me."
Zhao Feiyang said: "I understand during the isolation period. After you are discharged from the hospital, everything will return to normal."
"Returning to normal? It's impossible for me." A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Qiao Rulong's lips, and fate played a cruel joke on him.
Zhao Feiyang said: "Nothing is more important than living. As long as you live, you have the opportunity to start over." He thought of Pei Lin. Pei Lin has disappeared from this world forever. It should be said that she has not completely disappeared. She left behind
He had a son, and there was still a heart beating in Qiao Rulong's body.
Qiao Rulong hung up the phone. The pure white color in front of him made him feel more and more lonely. Starting over? It was easier said than done. Even if his body could recover, the possibility of him continuing in the system was slim.
With one careless move, everything was lost. Qi Shuang was willing to be the woman behind him. In order to be with him, he could give up his status. Qiao Rulong thought he handled it well, but this sudden accident made all his careful plans go to waste.
.
What Qiao Rulong is really worried about is his grandfather. Since his grandfather returned to Beijing, he has not even called him. This shows that his negotiations with the Ye family are not ideal.
Qiao Rulong doesn't think there is anything regrettable about divorcing Ye Qingya, but he cares about his grandfather's feelings. During his grandfather's long political career, Mr. Ye was his best friend and partner, and the decades-old friendship between the two may also last longer.
Because this incident has a huge impact.
The Ye family took the initiative in his marriage to Ye Qingya. In fact, the Ye family also benefited a lot from this marriage. Without the help of his grandfather, his father-in-law Ye Changyuan would not have gone so smoothly in the system in recent years.
It is even less possible to enter a core institution that attracts attention.
If he hadn't let Xu Chunliang take action, Mr. Ye might not have been able to escape disaster. Even if the operation was successful, he would have become an idiot.
Thinking of this, Qiao Rulong's heart was filled with anger. If Ye Qingya's divorce was the Ye family's instruction, the fundamental reason was not the breakdown of their relationship, because they had no feelings from the beginning, and they both knew very well that their marriage was meant to be.
The combination of interests is a political alliance.
Qi Shuang's incident is just an excuse for them. Ultimately, it's because the Ye family no longer thinks highly of themselves. They think that they have become a waste and have no future in the system. Grandpa's influence is also not as good as before.
The Ye family is cutting losses in time.
Although Qiao Rulong has long known that politics is ruthless, he still felt angry when it actually happened to him. If it were five years ago, let alone Qi Shuang, even if he had a few more women, the Ye family would not
mind.
It's a pity that there are no ifs in life. If you make a mistake first, don't blame others to draw a clear line.
Qiao Rulong thought about it again and again, then picked up the phone and sent a message to his grandfather - Grandpa, I'm sorry!
Qiao Rulong just stared at the screen, waiting for his grandfather's reply. He waited for more than ten minutes before he saw the message from his grandfather - Recuperate in peace, Huatou is still waiting for you to go back to work.
Qiao Rulong felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He could imagine that his grandfather had been running around for his own affairs these days. For his own sake, his grandfather even lowered his head. He was so unfilial.
Qiao Rulong cried. He wanted to call his grandfather, but he was afraid that his grandfather would notice that he was abnormal. He wanted to recover as soon as possible and could not let his grandfather down.
Mr. Ye was sitting in the study smoking a cigarette. When Ye Changyuan walked in, he was stung by the strong smell of smoke and kept coughing. He hurried to open the window: "Dad, you are almost in time for the gas chamber."
Ye Laodao: "You are becoming more and more lenient. I don't even have a cigarette."
Ye Changyuan said: "You have only been ill for a few days. You don't want to indulge your body like this."
Ye Laodao said: "Changquan should go to Neon in the second half of the year."
Ye Changyuan said in surprise: "Really? Neon and the small South American country are not on the same level. This means that the younger brother's status in the field of foreign affairs has been improved and his power has become greater. The two brothers have made great progress in the past few years.
Very smooth.”
Ye Laodao: "When I named you two brothers, many people said it was rustic, but I have my own idea. I gave you the word "origin" to make you remember to drink water and remember its source throughout your life, and give Changquan that name.
, meaning that the kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring of water."
Ye Changyuan came behind his father and massaged his shoulders.
Ye Laodao: "I have been dating your Uncle Qiao for most of my life. We have always had a good relationship over the years and have almost never blushed."
Ye Changyuan knew what his father wanted to say, and sighed: "Dad, I understand what you mean, but Rulong has gone too far this time."
Ye Laodao: "The marriage between Qingya and Rulong was decided by me and your uncle Qiao. Looking back now, we ignored the meaning of the two children. I have been thinking repeatedly in the past two days, what is the problem?"
Ye Changyuan said: "Don't think about it, it's all Qiao Rulong's fault."
Mr. Ye shook his head: "Changyuan, if this had happened five years ago, would you have insisted on their divorce?"
Ye Changyuan was stopped by his father's question, but he still insisted: "Of course I will not let Qingya be wronged."
Ye Laodao: "Qingya has indeed been wronged, and Rulong may not be happy either. Who is the person who really benefits from this marriage?"
Under his father's meaningful gaze, Ye Changyuan's heart couldn't help but beat faster. He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that the smoothness of his journey over the years had something to do with Mr. Qiao's help. Although his work ability
He has been widely recognized, but there are many capable people in the system. Why is it his turn to take this seat?
Ye Laodao: "The same goes for Changquan. My influence cannot be compared with Mr. Qiao's, and this kind of thing must be avoided."
Ye Changyuan said: "Dad, I admit that Uncle Qiao is good to me, but it's not like we can ignore Qiao Rulong's misbehavior just because of this incident?"
Mr. Ye sighed and said, "Uncle Qiao promised that he would respect Qingya's choice this time. The matter between you and Changquan is the Qiao family's compensation for us. Are you satisfied?"
Ye Changyuan said: "Even if the two children break up, you and Uncle Qiao will still be friends."
Ye Laodao: "Friends should share joys and sorrows. My relationship with Lao Qiao originated from the catastrophe. Although he didn't say anything, I know that in his heart he didn't want to draw a clear line between the two families. Changyuan, you promise me three things."
Ye Changyuan nodded: "Dad, tell me."
"No matter what choice Qingya makes, you are not allowed to interfere."
"no problem."
"From now on, you are not allowed to mention Rulong. You just pretend that it never happened, and you are not allowed to make any fuss about it."
Ye Changyuan said: "Dad, don't worry, Qiao Rulong and I are in the same relationship after all. Even if it's not for Mr. Qiao's sake, I won't do it right."
Mr. Ye expressed satisfaction with his answer, breathed a sigh of relief and said: "After Rulong recovers, if he is still in Huatou, I think you and Changquan will protect him regardless of past grudges."
Ye Changyuan frowned. His father's request embarrassed him. If his daughter's marriage to Qiao Rulong breaks down, they will become strangers from now on, and they should draw a clear line.
After thinking about it, I can understand why my father said this. In my father's opinion, Mr. Qiao left a big favor to them.
Based on Mr. Qiao's cultivation, he can definitely tell that the real reason why the Ye family and the Qiao family cut off this time is not because of Qiao Rulong's betrayal, but because of Mr. Qiao's declining influence.
Ye Laodao: "Rulong owes Qingya, and we owe Qiao's family. You just said that one code will be one code, and I hope you can keep your word."
Ye Changyuan nodded: "Dad, I will give him the greatest care within the scope allowed by the policy."
Ye Laodao: "Also, you have to keep a distance from Wang Zhengdao. I never like talking about people behind their backs, but I don't like this person."
Ye Changyuan said: "Dad, don't worry, I can see clearly what his purpose is."
Mr. Ye's eyes fell on a photo on the table. The photo was a group photo of the three families of Ye, Qiao and Wang. At that time, they were still in their prime. Mr. Ye sighed with emotion: "I can't go back."
Ye Changyuan said: "The past is in the past. Now we can only look forward. I believe that the Ye family will definitely get better and better."
Mr. Ye noticed something from his son's words. In his son's heart, the Qiao family has become a thing of the past. Mr. Qiao's glory has gradually dimmed with the passage of time. The next generation who are strong in these years no longer pay attention to the older generation.
Although they didn't show it so obviously, they must have thought so in their hearts.
Mr. Ye looked at Mr. Qiao in the photo. The friend he had always respected and trusted, now there was a gap between them unconsciously. No one knew this old friend better than him. Mr. Qiao's resilience was beyond recognition.
Everyone imagines that anyone who dares to ignore Mr. Qiao will regret it one day.
But now their generation is indeed old. Even if you are a tiger, when you grow old and lose all your teeth, you will have to face the fate of the tiger falling into the sun.
Mr. Ye once remembered that his father once said that people should not be too strong. If a person shows too much edge, some bad things will happen to his descendants. Therefore, no matter how you behave or do things, you must leave three points of leeway.
Mr. Qiao's character in the past was extremely strong. Between himself, Mr. Wang and him, he was always the one who made the final decision. Although Mr. Wang was the oldest one, until something happened to Qiao Yuanshan, Mr. Qiao's character
He has changed, he has become gentle and low-key, but he still cannot change the stubbornness in his heart.
This time Qiao Rulong's accident happened, the blow to Mr. Qiao was no less than when Qiao Yuanshan left without saying goodbye. Mr. Ye saw Mr. Qiao's aging and saw sadness and helplessness in his eyes for the first time. The biggest enemy of the strong has always been
It's all fate. No matter how strong you are, you can only choose to bow your head in front of fate.
