It was already very late when Xu Chunliang came home. Because there were guests at home, he tried to tread lightly so as not to disturb Lin Sijin and his daughter.
When Xu Chunliang went upstairs, he heard a light knock on the door, but it was Ye Qingya who heard the noise and came out of the room.
Xu Chunliang smiled at her.
Ye Qingya whispered: "Why did you come back so late?"
Xu Chunliang glanced at the guest room, Ye Qingya pointed at the living room, and the two walked over.
Ye Qingya said: "Grandpa Xu prepared sobering soup for you. You are really worried about doing it so late."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "What can I do? I just happened to talk about some business. By the way, how are you collecting materials for your godmother's novel?"
Ye Qingya laughed: "She and grandpa had a good chat, and the two of them also agreed to visit the old site of Huichun Hall tomorrow."
After Xu Chunliang took the hangover soup she handed him and drank it, he put down the empty bowl. Ye Qingya poured him another bowl and asked him to continue drinking.
Xu Chunliang had no choice but to drink: "Where is the old site of Huichun Hall? The houses have been demolished, and now the second phase of Changxing Hospital is being built there."
Ye Qingya said: "I guess I want to talk about the surrounding environment. My mother is now focused on writing your family's family history."
Xu Chunliang said: "When she is determined to do something, she will do her best. You are very similar to her in this regard."
Ye Qingya whispered: "I'm not like her."
Xu Chunliang looked at her delicate face, feeling some inexplicable throbbing in his heart. Ye Qingya seemed to realize something, stood up and said, "I'm going to wash the dishes."
Xu Chunliang stretched out his hand to stop: "No need..." Just as their hands touched each other.
Ye Qingya quickly retracted her hand, but Xu Chunliang was faster and already held her slender hand in his hand, saying softly: "How are you doing recently? Let me feel your pulse."
Ye Qingya's pretty face turned hot, and she thought to herself, you're not taking my pulse, you're clearly taking advantage of me, but she didn't break away, and it felt very comfortable to have his hand in his palm like this.
Xu Chunliang placed his fingers on Ye Qingya's veins, but his attention was focused on Ye Qingya's creamy skin.
"how?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Your heart is beating a little fast, don't be nervous."
Ye Qingya bit her lips and said, "I'd better ask Grandpa Xu to take my pulse."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "What? You can't trust me?"
Ye Qingya looked into his eyes, always feeling that his eyes were full of aggression, and broke her hand away from his palm: "I'm going to wash the dishes, you go and have a rest."
Ye Qingya ran into the kitchen as if she was running away, her heart pounding. This kid probably drank too much. He said he was taking my pulse. He was just deliberately taking advantage of me. Thinking of the relationship between the two, it became more and more serious.
It was ambiguous. Ye Qingya felt that it would be dangerous to continue like this. Reason told her that she should keep a distance from Xu Chunliang, but she could not deceive her heart. She liked to be with Xu Chunliang.
Even though she clearly knew that he had intentions towards her, she was not disgusted at all. Instead, she enjoyed it. Ye Qingya's hands were washed by the cool water and she used this method to force herself to calm down. Could it be that she really fell in love with him?
Xu Chunliang? Impossible. She should like him as much as her younger brother, Ye Qingya emphasized silently in her heart.
In the early morning, Lin Sijin accompanied Xu Changshan to the old site of Huichun Hall. The former Huichun Hall had long been demolished and replaced by Changxing Hospital Phase II.
The construction of the second phase of the project is about to be completed. Xu Changshan looked up at the towering building and felt deeply in his heart that the Huichun Hall of the past could no longer be found.
However, this alley leading to the vegetable market still retains many memories of the past. Xu Changshan and Lin Sijin walked on the narrow bluestone alley, facing the rising sun, and chatted while walking.
Following Mr. Xu's introduction, an ancient picture appeared in front of Lin Sijin's eyes. The old houses and courtyards passing by, and even every tree and wall, all had endless stories to tell.
Xu Changshan said with emotion: "In the past, there was a Ci Chi Nunnery in front of us. Every year, there was a temple fair on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. On the day of the temple fair, the alleys and the vegetable market were all crowded with people coming to attend the meeting. They were crowded and busy. But now there are so many people.
No one knows these things anymore.”
The two of them came to the vegetable market. Most of today's vegetable markets have been moved to uniformly planned buildings. Vegetable markets selling along the street like this are rare. This Dongming Street is one of the few in Dongzhou that can still maintain its original style.
Xu Changshan bought hot porridge with fried dough sticks and planned to take it back to the children.
Lin Sijin was also very interested in this kind of market full of fireworks. While Mr. Xu went to buy breakfast, she also walked around and asked about the prices of vegetables.
A voice full of surprise came from behind: "Mom, when did you come to Dongzhou?"
Lin Sijin was stunned for a moment, then turned around, only to see Qiao Rulong standing not far behind her, and there was another person with Qiao Rulong.
Lin Sijin never expected to meet Qiao Rulong here. She frowned and said with some displeasure: "Mr. Qiao, you seem to have called the wrong person."
Qiao Rulong smiled coquettishly: "Although Qingya and I are divorced, you will always be in my heart..."
Lin Sijin interrupted him rudely: "Your mother's name is Wang Siqi. If she knew you were shouting like this outside, she would definitely be unhappy."
Qiao Rulong said: "Why are you here?"
Lin Sijin said: "Who said I can't come?"
The man behind Qiao Rulong looked a little unhappy. They obviously thought that Lin Sijin's attitude towards Qiao Rulong was too bad and was an offense to Mr. Qiao.
Lin Sijin turned around and left. Qiao Rulong watched her go away. When he saw Xu Changshan in front of him, he immediately understood that Lin Sijin came here with Xu Changshan, and he became increasingly unhappy.
The person next to him was his de facto brother-in-law Pan Weidong. When Operation Nanjiang Chunlei began, Pan Weidong hurriedly fled overseas and did not return to China until the limelight passed. During this time abroad, he transformed into a manager of Jishi Medical Investment Co., Ltd.
shareholder.
This Spring Thunder Operation caused heavy losses to the Pan family's Hedong Group. Only then did Pan Tianhua realize why Ji Buyao suddenly chose to disappear from the world, and his ambition was used by Ji Buyao to become the biggest taker of Blue Star Properties.
In the end, it was his daughter who came forward to intercede, and Qiao Rulong just found someone to help resolve the crisis in Hedong. However, Qiao Rulong also left a message to let the father and son take care of themselves.
The recent events had a big impact on Pan Tianhua, and he began to think about the future of his children. His daughter had her sights set on Qiao Rulong. Although it was impossible for her to have an identity in this life, after all, she gave birth to the flesh and blood of the Qiao family, and Qiao Rulong was not bad at Qi Shuang.
What really worries Pan Tianhua is his son Pan Weidong. Pan Weidong is as ruthless and ruthless as he was back then. However, now is a harmonious society. If you want to use loopholes in the law to make money, the price you pay will be extremely heavy. Pan Tianhua does not want his descendants to continue.
In this kind of life, he has accumulated enough wealth, and it is time to consider cleaning up the family.
That's why Pan Tianhua discussed with his daughter to let Pan Weidong invest in Jishi Medical Investment Co., Ltd., hoping to completely cleanse the Pan family's assets in this way.
Jishi has successfully acquired Changxing Hospital, and Pan Weidong came to Dongzhou as a major shareholder and executive director. If it weren't for Qi Shuang's face, Qiao Rulong would not bother to deal with this cheap brother-in-law.
Pan Weidong whispered: "That bitch doesn't know how to praise, do you want me to find someone to teach her a lesson?"
Qiao Rulong looked at him coldly. Pan Weidong did not dare to look at him. He lowered his eyes timidly and whispered: "Sister... Mr. Qiao, I am not worth it for you."
At first, he called Qiao Rulong brother-in-law, but later he was severely punished by his father. Only then did he realize that his sister Qi Shuang would never be married by an open matchmaker.
Qiao Rulong said: "Don't interfere in my affairs."
Pan Weidong said: "Okay, I will listen to you."
It was no accident that the two of them came here today. Zhao Feiyang proposed a second-phase expansion plan. Initially, Changxing’s second-phase project included an area including Huichun Hall, but recently the city has made new plans for the entire Dongming Street.
The plan is to rebuild the vegetable market and completely demolish the shantytowns in this area. Of course, Changxing Hospital will not miss this perfect opportunity.
Zhao Feiyang consulted with Pan Weidong. Pan Weidong didn't know much about this aspect. After talking to Jishi's boss, his sister Qi Shuang, Qi Shuang asked him to contact Qiao Rulong who was in Dongzhou so that Qiao Rulong could help him give him some advice. Today the two of them are
The field trip came, but I didn't expect to meet Qiao Rulong's ex-mother-in-law at the vegetable market.
Qiao Rulong was a little distracted and accidentally stepped into the cesspool. He frowned in disgust.
Pan Weidong scolded: "We will buy this broken place in two days and renovate it. I have already thought about it. We will build a new radiotherapy center on the land near the hospital and build a high-rise building in the southeast. In addition to the vegetable market allocated to them,
, we will maintain other properties ourselves..."
Qiao Rulong had no interest in listening to his chatter and strode forward.
After walking for some distance and not seeing Pan Weidong following him, Qiao Rulong had no choice but to stop and turn around, only to see a group of people surrounding him.
Qiao Rulong didn't want to watch the fun, but he came with Pan Weidong and couldn't leave alone. He turned around and went back. He guessed that Pan Weidong was also watching the fun, but before he could get closer, he heard someone shouting: "He's killed."
, killed someone...".
Only then did Qiao Rulong realize that something was wrong. The crowd who had been watching the excitement dispersed with a roar, only to see Pan Weidong sitting on the ground, covering his neck with his hands, and blood spurting out from between his fingers.
Qiao Rulong suddenly panicked. He rushed to Pan Weidong and shouted: "Call an ambulance quickly, quickly..."
Pan Weidong's neck was scratched with a sharp blade. The other person was an extremely professional killer. Without Pan Weidong's defense, he cut his common carotid artery with a razor blade.
The carotid artery is one of the main arteries and blood vessels of the human body. Most of the blood supply to the head is carried by the neck blood vessels.
