"The old lady's body, after all, is no longer good......" Liu Gao said lightly.

"The old lady is here, and she can still afford this family, just like me, outside, others have to look at the face of the Jiang family behind me. Over the years, when I was outside, I realized a truth, if you have strength, others will preach morality to you, otherwise who will preach morality to an ant? If the old lady falls down one day, what you and I have now, and others want to take it away and encroach on it, that is, it can't be stopped, and this big family, without a strong enough successor, will eventually end up in the twilight......

Zhao Yue said, "Although Lu Wei is young and promising, after all, he is still a few years old from Red Peony......

"Xu Zhimo met Lin Huiyin in Europe when he was sixteen years old, and the two fell in love, how old was Xu Zhimo at that time? Chang Lin Huiyin was eight years old and was already the father of two children, and Lin Huiyin was attracted to a knowledgeable person like Xu Zhimo because of his talking! How is it compared to Lu Jiang and the two today?" Besides, it's not that the wind is the rain, this kind of marriage relationship, it is even more cautious, every link, no mistakes, every button has to be placed in place, to put it bluntly, this is no longer a matter between the two, this is a grand project between the two families. It is enough to decide the general direction, and what is left behind is to follow the steps and fall into place. ”

Zhao Yue hesitated, "Is this really what the old lady meant......?"

Liu Gao said smugly, "For so many years, on the shoulders of the Jiang family, I have seen so many things, and the pattern and wind direction can still be seen. Even if the old lady doesn't come forward, the Jiang family, as well as the people who are blessed by this family, can see this in their eyes, this will be the common wish of everyone, even if the old lady is unwilling to take this step, but he must also take care of his children and grandchildren, is it really not a star for future generations? When people are old, they will inevitably consider continuing their bloodline...... Old lady, I'm already thinking about it. ”

There was a knock on the door of the room, and Liu Gao and his wife stopped talking. Liu Gao regained his majesty and said lightly, "Come in." ”

An internal staff stood at the door, dialed the headphones, and then walked in under Liu Gao's signal, and said, "Liu Dong, there is news from the front desk that someone is looking for Miss Jiang Hongshao, saying that it is her classmate." ”

Zhao Yue and Liu Gao both looked at each other for a moment.

Liu Gao frowned, "Classmate, male or female?"

"Male. The registration word is called Cheng Ran...... said that it was arranged by Miss Jiang. ”

Liu Gao said, "You tell him, there is no ...... called Jiang Hongshao here."

The internal staff was about to go out to communicate by radio, Liu Gao looked at the two figures on the other side of the misty trail outside the window, and got up again, "No, I have to go there myself." ”

......

Cheng Ran got off the car from Baoguo Temple, climbed up a mountain road, the main building of the hotel welcome came into view, when Cheng Ran arrived at the door, in fact, he had already seen some clues, some black vehicles with rare license plates, straight through the sentry, stop in the public area of the ordinary building, drove straight into the internal highway, turned a few corners, and went to the direction of the road sign is Building No. 8, from here, in front of the building, some Audi and Passat, and even Toyota off-road vehicles, Prado and Cruiser.

Cheng Ranjing went to the lobby of Building No. 5, which was facing ordinary guests, and reported Jiang Hongshao's name, and the front desk radioized over there, asking him to wait next to him for verification.

didn't wait long, a middle-aged man in an elegant suit, nearly 1.8 meters tall, extraordinary bearing, and shrewd eyes stepped over from the corridor, after seeing Cheng Ran, he didn't have the slightest attitude to face the juniors from top to bottom, but said with a little enthusiasm, "You must be Cheng Ran's classmate?"

Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand how such a person could come out, but it seemed that it should be related to Jiang Hongshao's family, maybe it was a relative who was responsible for arranging affairs?

He nodded.

The man said, "It's really unfortunate, she has something to do today, and an important friend of hers has come over, I'm afraid there will be no way to entertain you." But it doesn't matter, since you're here, I'll arrange a room for you here?" His gaze became more and more burning, Cheng Ran looked over, it was the direction of Building 8, there were many people waiting there, and the man said, "Let's rest today and play by ourselves, we are responsible for the relevant accommodation expenses." ”

Cheng Ran looked at the middle-aged man, his demeanor seemed to be enthusiastic at first glance, but that pair of eyes was indifferent and indifferent, which was completely contrary to his emotions on the outside, this must be a very long-sleeved and good dancing character. After thinking about it, Cheng Ran said, "She asked me to come over here, can you notify her and let her come out to talk to me, or talk to me on the phone to explain." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yes, but the two of them went out together early in the morning...... Even we can't find her, maybe they won't be back today. So good ...... for you."

Cheng Ran was really a little annoyed by this person's open mouth, and didn't want to listen to this lie, so he interrupted directly, "Then I'll wait for her here for a while." ”

After speaking, Cheng Ran walked to the sofa in the lobby and sat down.

The middle-aged man seemed to have been unloaded with all his skills, looking at Cheng Ran's posture, he was actually a little angry in his heart, what kind of identity he was, not to mention the industry at hand and the momentum brought by so many people, he had experienced various occasions over the years, and the person who could give him such a face had not yet appeared, but thinking about him, he was a little like a lion in the face of the helplessness of a lamb who didn't know what was at stake, and he didn't know if he was angry or wanted to laugh, but at this time he had already sorted out his expression, and then he didn't talk nonsense about Cheng Ran, and turned away.

After a while, he came to the location of the second floor, saw Cheng Ran sitting in the lobby for a while, and finally got up and went out. The muscles in his face twitched, and a faint "heh!" came from his nose.

......

Jiang Hongshao and Lu Wei walked around the trail, Lu Wei actually talked about the most about the experience in the United States, those things that had been with Jiang Hongshao and her sister-in-law, for example, four years ago, Jiang Hongshao's sister-in-law brought her over, and he invited them to eat Chinese food in Chinatown, but Jiang Hongshao's sister-in-law said that she couldn't compare with Greater New York, let alone California Chinese food. Or when she was a child, she rode around his neck to pick plums in the Jingshan Courtyard, and she rode on his neck to pick plums.

Lu Wei found that Jiang Hongshao was absent-minded and wanted to add more topics with her as much as possible, but he also didn't understand that when she and her aunt were guests four years ago, the kind of exploration and reverence in her eyes was there, why can't you see it now?

Even when they were walking along the trail, Jiang Hongshao's pace was obviously speeding up halfway through, Lu Wei smiled and followed, and did not force to find a topic later, and when it was over, Jiang Hongshao sued him, took a step first, and went to the front desk.

Lu Wei just watched from a distance, and didn't step forward to ask her what was going on, and he didn't want to explore. He knew that something was there, and it wouldn't change in the slightest by external influences.

......

When Jiang Hongshao asked the manager, the manager surnamed Li said, "There was indeed a boy who came to you just now." It was received by Mr. Liu. ”

"What about the others?" Jiang Hongshao asked urgently.

"I just said I was waiting for you in the lobby, but the person behind me left. ”

Jiang Hongshao turned around and ran, ran out of the villa of Building No. 3, and ran along the winding terrain and the internal road, and on the empty road, only the figure of the girl passing by quickly.

Building 5 is hundreds of meters away from Building 3, Jiang Hongshao's footsteps crushed to the lobby with the cicadas in the afternoon, someone saw her break the silence here, her long hair was a little scattered, her eyes were searching everywhere, there was no trace, she turned around and went out again.

She was already having some difficulty breathing, but at this moment there was a dull pain in her chest that was uncomfortable with intense exercise.

Gate No. 5 was still dozens of meters away from the sentry gate, the girl's long hair was scattered, sweat wet her back, and she sprinted out of the gate, when her body suddenly shook and stopped her pace.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure sitting on a rock under the ramp, elbows resting on knees, and a mobile phone in his hand.

He sat there, as if he had become one with the stone behind him, unable to distinguish between them.

The dull pain in Jiang Hongshao's chest intensified after she continued to run, as if the mucous membranes were overwhelmed and torn apart somewhere, and her eyes were a little red.
