The car was driven by Jiang Chen, the car was very quiet, and the temperature was suitable.

Qingge sat in the back seat of the car, looking at the backward tree shadows and bright neon lights outside the car window, feeling familiar but very unfamiliar.

She grew up in Mayor Z, and she has only come to the capital a handful of times, so the capital is unfamiliar to her, but now when she is about to leave here, she is very reluctant. It's just because there are her parents here, there is him she loves deeply, and their little girl...... The place where they are, no matter how strange it is, is also the place she yearns for.

As she hesitated, her right hand was held by him.

His fingers were knuckled, his palms were dry and warm, and when he held her, her hesitant heart suddenly calmed down.

Qingge looked at him sideways, there was no light in the car, the outline of his face became more and more handsome under the reflection of the neon outside the car window, when he turned his head to look at her, he had the light on his back, and for a while, she couldn't see the emotion in his eyes clearly.

She had a thousand words in her heart, but she pursed her lips and said nothing, vaguely, she seemed to hear him sigh softly, and then, his hand was clenched tighter.

Late at night, the neon on the road is still there, but there are fewer and fewer pedestrians, Jiang Chen drove very steadily, all the way unimpeded, and after arriving at the military airport, he drove directly into the tarmac and parked next to Qingge's special plane.

In the middle of the August night in the capital, the night wind blew with a dry heat, brushing Qingge's long hair, her face, and the corners of her skirt. In the dim light, she looked at him deeply, "I'm leaving." ”

Gu Fengcheng stretched out his hand and helped her brush the slightly messy hair on her forehead behind her ears, although she was reluctant, she finally had to let go, he sighed, "Call me when it's time." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Take care of yourself. He admonished, but he couldn't hold back, and reached out to put his hand around her shoulder, his voice low but magnetic, "I'll see you soon." ”

"Hmm. She replied, her hand pulling away from his fingertips. When she turned around, she said to Jiang Chen, "Uncle Jiang, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye. Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

Qingge turned around, looked at Gu Fengcheng again, turned around, and boarded the plane accompanied by Sally. After the cabin door closed, through the window, she looked at his long figure, and there was a slight astringency in her eyes.

Gu Fengcheng watched her special plane gallop on the airport track, soaring into the air, flying into the sky, getting farther and farther away from him, until he could no longer see, his heart was empty.

The plane shuttled through the clouds, and Qingge looked at the vast starry sky, and his eyes were lonely and deserted.

Looking forward to meeting, but parting with sadness.

After a short meeting, it will be a long parting, even though she knows that he will go to Danlai to see her, but she still looks forward to returning to China as soon as possible. And she, who has been in Danlai for so long, is also the first time that she is so enthusiastically looking forward to her return.

Sally helped Qingge cover her with a thin blanket, "Little princess, sleep." ”

Qingge looked at her, "Thank you." ”

Sally shook her head and sat down across from Qingge.

In Qingge's opinion, Sally has always been by her side, not talking much, but she is very meticulous and caring, and her sense of sensitivity is very good, for so long, Qingge has never seen obvious joy, anger and sorrow on her face, it seems, always indifferent.

Qingge looked at Sally's young face and suddenly asked, "Sally, do you have a boyfriend?"

Sally was slightly stunned, surprised by her question, and then shook her head.

Later, Qingge was a little surprised, Sally was her personal bodyguard, and she followed her every day, even at night when she rested, Sally would stay next door to her, so that she was with her almost twenty-four hours a day, think about it, even if Sally wanted to fall in love, she didn't have time.

In an instant, Qingge felt a little guilty in his heart.

……

The time goes back an hour ago.

He Shuyue and his wife had just come out of the Gu family's courtyard, and before they reached the He family, she saw Gu Yongchun's special car driving out of the military and political compound, she was slightly surprised, and looked back, and after confirming the license plate number, she pulled her husband and asked: "Look, it's Gu Yongchun's car." ”

Zhang Yidong drank a lot of wine tonight, although he was not drunk, because the weather was hot and dry, and he was a little irritable, and he was pulling the collar of his shirt at this time.

He Shuyue wondered, "Shouldn't Gu Yongchun be at the Gu family at this time? How could his car be in this compound?" She looked at it with her head, but the car had already driven out of Zifu Road and disappeared, "Yidong, have you seen it clearly, who was sitting in that car just now?"

"You'd better save your money and be nosy. Zhang Yidong frowned, looked at his wife's curious appearance, thought of the scene at the banquet, and was slightly displeased, "Shu Yue, what's going on with you tonight, didn't I tell you before I came? ”

Faced with her husband's doubts, He Shuyue was full of grievances, "How can I have a black face?" She wanted to get close to them, but Ruo Yu never had a chance.

Zhang Yidong snorted, "But you are obviously unhappy like that," he pointed out again, "The Führer's wife has been sitting there, why haven't you even said hello?"

He Shuyue frowned and explained, "I see that she has been chatting with that woman, so it's inconvenient for me to go over and disturb her." ”

"What does it mean to be inconvenient on this occasion?" Zhang Yidong said unhappily, "Didn't you see Chief Zhu's wife, didn't she sit next to her all the time?

He Shuyue was stupid, and finally told the truth, "I just can't pull my face down to get close to that woman." ”

Tonight's banquet He Shuyue was a little excited, she used to call Gu Yongchun's brother-in-law, but tonight she could only follow her husband Zhang Yidong to call Secretary Gu. When she came to the Gu family's courtyard before, in front of the nanny, she was arrogant and always regarded herself as half a hostess, but today, when the two nannies saw her, their faces were indifferent, and she saw the elegant and beautiful Jinsheng standing beside Gu Yongchun, and she was not a taste in her heart.

"It's just normal communication, why can't you pull down your face? I think you have a ghost in your heart, and you don't even have a greeting and entertainment?" Zhang Yidong said unhappily: "Oh, do you think you are still Gu Yongchun's sister-in-law? Everyone is rushing to slap you?"

was poked in the sore spot by her husband, He Shuyue was a little annoyed, "Yidong, what do you mean by this?"

"It is to let you recognize the current situation, you are no longer Gu Yongchun's sister-in-law, but my Zhang Yidong's wife, you represent my face, but don't learn from your sister's previous appearance of being unstoppable, but I don't know that she has become a laughing stock in the eyes of others. Zhang Yidong sneered lightly.

"Okay, why did it get on my sister again?" Shu Yue said unhappily.

"You are angry with your sister, so you won't greet Gu Yongchun's wife tonight. Zhang Yidong snorted.

"I ......" Shu Yue had to admit that since she lost the identity of Secretary Gu's sister-in-law, she seemed to have no one to hold her outside, talking and doing things, and she was looked down on a lot more than before.

"You should be glad that the dirty things your sister did didn't affect us, not to mention, Secretary Gu didn't mind, and asked me to bring you to the banquet, what about you?" Zhang Yidong was extremely unhappy, and was extremely dissatisfied with his wife's performance tonight, "How can I take you out in the future if you have a small belly?"

He Shuyue was slightly stunned, "You mean, Gu Yongchun doesn't care about my sister's things?"

"People who do big things are not informal. Do you think you're still like you women, who care about everything?" Zhang Yidong said.

Thinking of the scene of Gu Yongchun joining hands with Jinsheng, He Shuyue felt like a thorn in her heart, and always felt a little lustful, although she and He Shuyun sisters had some gaps in private, and often quarreled, but in the end, they were sisters, and externally, the position was the same, she was still a little suffocated, and said angrily, "It's just a pity that my sister's good youth was wasted on a man who didn't love her." ”

Zhang Yidong drank wine, and his temper was more tempered than Su Rili, and he sneered, "It's a pity for her? Then what should she do if she puts that green hat on Gu Yongchun's head?"

His cruel words made He Shuyue faintly unhappy in his heart, and argued: "Didn't he Gu Yongchun also give birth to a daughter outside?"

Zhang Yidong laughed coldly, "He Shuyue, why are you like your sister, you have a simple brain, cover your ears and steal the bell, blindly reversing black and white, do you think all people are idiots? Are your eyes blind?"

Choked by him, He Shuyue was slightly angry, "Zhang Yidong, how can you help outsiders talk, Gu Yongchun's illegitimate daughter, haven't you seen it tonight?"

"Do you think that the older generation in the compound is dead?" Zhang Yidong said sneeringly, "That woman is clearly Gu Yongchun's original ......" He sneered, "How she disappeared back then, and what means your sister used to marry into the Gu family, only the people in your family know best." ”

Shu Yue chuckled in her heart, her face was extremely ugly, and she reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Do I have nonsense, you know it in your hearts, don't treat everyone as a fool," Zhang Yidong looked at her coldly, "He Gu Yongchun hasn't done anything now, it doesn't mean that he won't pursue it." It's just, don't bother me. That's what he's been most worried about.

Shu Yue was a little panicked, her face changed, she pulled his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Yidong, what do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb. Zhang Yidong frowned.

Looking at her husband's figure, Shu Yue was suddenly scared, and her heart was slightly panicked, catching up with his pace, "Yidong...... My dad is still here, he Gu Yongchun doesn't dare to do anything!"

Zhang Yidong raised his eyebrows: "Your father is just a vain name, who will give him face now? If Gu Yongchun is determined to clean up the He family, who can stop it?"

Shu Yue was stunned, pulled his arm, and asked weakly, "Then what should we do?"

Zhang Yidong's brows furrowed even tighter, "Let's find an opportunity to move out of the compound and live alone." ”

"We're moving out, and my dad is alone at home, so I'm not at ease. Shu Yue said.

"Isn't there a nanny? What's not to worry about?" Zhang Yidong said unhappily, "You don't usually go to work, and you don't spend much time at home." ”

"Can ......" Shu Yue hesitated for a while.

"Also, don't get too close to your sister," Zhang Yidong told again, "Be careful of getting into trouble." What he is most afraid of is that if He Shuyun has an accident, he will be affected by Yuchi at that time, it is not easy for him to climb to his current position, and at this age, once something happens, everything he used before will naturally be completely denied. He naturally did not want to be innocently implicated, and he was even more unwilling to fall off the pyramid.

"She's my sister after all......"

Zhang Yidong looked at her coldly, and with the strength of wine, he said unceremoniously: "If you don't want to be estranged from her, then I can only be estranged from you." ”

"You ......" When Shu Yue heard this, she was anxious, and she was even more angry: "Zhang Yidong, you make it clear, what do you mean?" she pulled him and snorted: "Do you want to find an excuse to divorce me because your family has no use value?"

Zhang Yidong looked at her unhappily, "If you want to think like this, I can't help it." ”

"Zhang Yidong, you conscienceless thing!" Shu Yue roared angrily.

Zhang Yidong reprimanded her, "If you want to make a fuss, just make a lot of noise." ”

Shu Yue is also a woman who wants to save face, she looked at him hatefully at the moment, and suddenly cried, "I've been married for more than 20 years, what am I sorry for you?

Zhang Yidong also woke up a little, his face was cold, "Mingzhe protects himself, don't you understand?" He had a feeling of hating iron but not steel, "It's for your own good to let you alienate He Shuyun, and you still don't know how to mess with me?"

"But she's my sister!" Shu Yue said, "When she was still the secretary's wife, didn't you lose her touch? Now that she is divorced, you are in the ground? You are still not human." ”

"It's true that she is your sister, but she is a dangerous object now, do you know what she has done?" Zhang Yidong whispered and gritted his teeth and said, "You have a deep sisterhood with her now, one day, you will be used as a gunman, and when the time comes, you can't cry!"

Shu Yue had a little doubt in her heart, but she said firmly, "Although my sister and I occasionally have a gap, she will definitely not harm me." ”

Zhang Yidong sneered, "A woman who even calculates her own daughter and pulls her back to support her back, will she still care about sisterhood?"

Shu Yue is still not stupid in the end, when she heard this, she was shocked, "You mean that Xinlei's matter is related to my sister?"

"Do you know why Xinlei was sentenced to life?" asked Zhang Yidong.

Sister said that she had no intention of breaking into the military restricted area. Shu Yue said, "It's just a misunderstanding, but it was pulled out from above for typical treatment." ”

Zhang Yidong sneered, "Do you believe this?" He added, "If it's really so simple, will you be sentenced to life?" Will Dad come forward to intercede with the Führer?"

Shu Yue thought about it, "What is that for?"

In order to let his wife know the seriousness, Zhang Yidong didn't hide it, and said directly: "Xinlei found someone to kidnap a foreign VIP." ”

Shu Yue panicked, "Yidong, you joke with me, although Xinlei is a little arrogant, she won't do such a thing!"

"Am I kidding you?" said Zhang Yidong with a cold face.

"No, there is no grudge, how could Xinlei do such a thing?" Shu Yue still didn't believe it.

"It's up to you to ask your good sister," Zhang Yidong said, "and she provided the funds for Xinlei." Would you believe that she had no idea what Xinlei had done?" he added, "What a crime it is to kidnap foreign guests, Xinlei is young and ignorant or may not know, but your sister, a university professor, doesn't even know this little bit of law?" he added, "This is clearly her deliberate connivance." ”

Shu Yue asked with palpitations: "You mean, Xinlei helped my sister to be a substitute for the dead ghost?

I'm afraid, that's just a matter of asking herself. Zhang Yidong said, "Including the marriage between Xinlei and the Luo family, she single-handedly planned and deceived, so far, her nature, haven't you seen it clearly?"

Shu Yue was stunned.

"You're still close to her now, aren't you afraid that she will use you as a gunman and use you as a backing in case of an accident?" Zhang Yidong said.

Shu Yue thought about it, and did feel a little afraid, "But ...... Our money, as well as my dad's, is still with Fu Dicheng. "That's their entire net worth, not a small amount.

"Fu Dicheng is not bold enough to eat our money. Zhang Yidong thought about it, and said, "You will call him tomorrow and say that you have an urgent matter to use the money and ask for the money back." ”

"That's ...... Not really. Shu Yue said embarrassedly, "When he invested the money at that time, he also signed a one-year contract with me. If you breach the contract, you have to pay the other party 20% of the liquidated damages, which is not a small amount. She added, "What if I really force him to ask for it and make a big fuss, and Dad finds out?"

Zhang Yidong thought for a while, "Then don't ask for it for the time being, and talk about it when it's due." ”

"Oh!"

But Zhang Yidong looked at her, with a warning in his eyes, "What I just told you is confidential, you keep your mouth shut, you must not pass it out, you know?"

"I see. Shu Yue nodded, but in her heart, she always felt uneasy when she had a secret, "But if my sister takes the initiative to find me, what should I do?"

"What is she looking for you to do?" Zhang Yidong thought for a while and said, "You will find someone to clean up our house tomorrow, and our family of three will move in as soon as possible." ”

"What should I say if Dad asks?" Shu Yue asked worriedly, this has been living with He Lao for more than 20 years, and he suddenly wants to move out, there is no valid reason, it seems to be ......

"You just said that it was closer to our unit, and it was more convenient for us to live and work in the past, just find a pretext," Zhang Yidong frowned and said, "You tell him that we will come back to live on the weekend." ”

"Do you really want to come back for the weekend?" Shu Yue asked.

Zhang Yidong glanced at her, "That being said, if you can't come back, you just need to make excuses then." ”

"Oh. ”

Then, speechless all the way, He Shuyue followed behind her husband, and her heart was a little messy.

They returned to the small courtyard of the He family and entered the gate, He Lao was sitting on the sofa napping, the sound of the door startled him, he opened his eyes and looked at them, "Are you back?"

"Hmm. Shu Yue looked at her husband and walked up to He Lao, "Dad, it's so late, why don't you sleep yet?"

He Lao looked at his daughter and son-in-law, and saw that their faces were as usual, and his heart was relaxed, "I'm getting ready to sleep." With that, he stood up with his hands on the armrests of the couch.

"Dad, I'll help you back to your room. Shu Yue walked over and held him.

Watching the figures of the father and daughter disappear at the top of the stairs, Zhang Yidong frowned, he didn't actually mean to alienate the He family, but there will be an election early next year, according to the current situation, if there are no accidents, Gu Yongchun will naturally be the next head of state.

When he knew the whole story of Xinlei's case, he was extremely worried. He felt that the reason why Gu Yongchun was holding back now was because it was the most critical juncture before the election, and some things had to be slowed down temporarily, but when he was really elected, it would be different.

Let me ask, what man would allow others to bully his wife and daughter? Not to mention kidnapping, he still has to sell them to the red-light district?

He Zhang Yidong can't bear it, so how can Gu Yongchun endure it?

Therefore, in his opinion, it is only a matter of time before Gu Yongchun cleans up He Shuyun, and she is like a time bomb, which may explode at any time, and it is more likely to harm the fish pond, so he has to take precautions, make plans first, and protect himself.

Entering the room, He Lao asked, "Shu Yue, how is the banquet tonight?"

"That's it," Shu Yue said.

"Is Gu Yongchun's ex-wife also there?" asked He Lao.

"Hmm. Shu Yue said.

"That'...... What about their attitude towards you?" was what he wanted to ask the most, so he waited in the living room.

"It's fine. Shu Yue said, in fact, in retrospect, at tonight's banquet, Gu Yongchun seemed to them the same as usual, faint, not alienated, but not very close.

After the youngest daughter left, He Lao frowned and let out a long sigh, for a long time, he couldn't sleep. In fact, only he knows that since Jinsheng came back, how has he ever fallen asleep? His heart has been hanging.

……

When Qingge's special plane landed at Danlai Airport, it was four o'clock in the morning, and the sky was still very dark, so she sent a safe text message to Gu Fengcheng and Gu Yongchun.

When she returned to the Danlai Palace, it was not yet dark, and the palace gate had just opened, she saw Nujia, his tall and thin figure standing behind the door, a little thin, she was slightly stunned, "You got up so early?"

Nujia put his hands behind his back, looked at her, and nodded slightly, "In the garden in the early morning, the air is the freshest, I come out to breathe." He looked at her, "Look at you, everything should be fine." ”

"It's fine. Qingge said.

"It's not early, you can go back and rest for a while! Tomorrow morning, there will be an internal affairs meeting. I do do sports. Nujia stretched out his arms and made a stretching motion.

Looking at the figure of Qingge leaving, Nujia pursed her lips and sighed slightly. At this point in time, where did he come out to breathe fresh air, he was obviously waiting for her to come back here, after she left, he was always a little uneasy, and he was naturally relieved to see her come back safe and sound.

He must go back to sleep for a while at once, or he will be napping again tomorrow at the House Council.

When Qingge had just returned to the palace where she lived, the maids Basha and Bana had been waiting by her side, and when they saw her, they greeted her and whispered, "Little princess, you have finally returned." The queen, on her part, sent people over and asked several times. ”

Qingge frowned slightly, and whispered, "Why haven't you rested?"

"I'm worried about you. "If you don't come back, we won't be able to sleep." ”

"With Sally by my side, what are you worried about?" Qingge was moved, "It's almost dawn, you all go and rest." Before she left last night, she only said that she had something to go out, but she never thought that Basha and the others had been waiting for her.

Qingge turned around, saw Sally, and said, "You should go and rest too." ”

Sally nodded, then bowed slightly.

In Nuoda's room, Qingge was the only one left, and she sighed slightly. She hasn't been in Danlai for a long time, but here, there are people who care about her. How could she not see that apart from Basha and them, Nujia was actually waiting for her to return safely.

People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless, in this strange Danlai, there are also people who care about her and take care of her, and she feels warm.

After dawn, she will be at the internal affairs meeting again, and I don't know what kind of stumbling block those interior ministers with evil intentions will come up with to embarrass her today; and what about Gu Fengcheng, who is thousands of miles away? Since he has returned to China, he is bound to come out tomorrow morning to face the overwhelming negative news!
