After the funeral, the atmosphere in the courtyard of the entire Chen family was gloomy and depressing, this was originally a rare moment for the family to get together, but all the people were not in a good mood, and no one talked much when they got together, and they all did their own things silently. The death of Chen Yidong's grandfather has dealt too much blow to the Chen family, and even the risks that the Chen family will face for a long time in the future will be difficult to estimate. In just a few days, Chen's father's face became thinner and thinner.

In the evening, just after dinner, Chen Yidong's mobile phone rang, after he glanced at it, he stood up and walked to the small courtyard connected to the living room to pick it up.

"All the things she has arranged over there, and there are no problems with the school procedures, right?" After listening to the other party's report, Chen Yidong pondered for a while and confirmed again.

"No problem, Miss Gu has completed the enrollment procedures and started classes normally, and everything has been arranged. Rest assured. ”

"Okay, I see, thank you. ”

Hanging up the phone, Chen Yidong sighed in his heart, and stood in place for a while before turning around and preparing to return to the living room, who knew that as soon as he looked up, he saw his mother standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at him almost angrily.

"Are you still in contact with that woman?" Seeing him turn around, Chen's mother couldn't help but ask sharply, "Why, do you still think she hasn't caused enough trouble to our family? and continue to entangle with her? Chen Yidong, do you still have this family in your heart? Do you still have your parents and relatives?"

"I haven't been in touch with her, and I've said before that I won't contact her and I won't contact her again. Chen Yidong stood on the steps with a face without any emotion, "You don't have to be so suspicious. ”

"I'm suspicious?" Chen's mother sneered angrily at him, "You didn't contact her, who called her just now? If you don't want to contact her, why do you care so much about her current situation?"

"I'm just looking for someone to confirm something so I can feel at ease. Chen Yidong patiently closed his eyes and said.

"Peace of mind?" Mother Chen looked at him coldly, "You are relieved, but have you considered the situation at home? Have you considered how Ningxia would react if she knew that you were still entangled with that woman? Don't forget, you are already engaged." ”

Chen Yidong frowned after hearing this, his eyes stared at his mother a little sharply, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a gentle voice sound, "Mom, Uncle Ning's family is here, and they are in the front hall, you can go over and say hello to your father." ”

Mother Chen turned her head and saw her daughter Chen Wan standing behind her with a faint expression, and a trace of disapproval flashed in her eyes when she looked at her. So she paused, then nodded, and no longer continued the topic with Chen Yidong, and after taking a deep breath, she turned around and walked towards the front hall.

After Chen's mother left, Chen Wancai walked over, sighed softly and said to Chen Yidong: "You obviously know your mother's temper, so why should you be serious with her?"

"We all know in our hearts that that incident is not about Qing Huan, on the contrary, she is the one who is affected by me, isn't it?" Chen Yidong couldn't bear to speak, and there was a rare trace of anger on his face, which had always been disliked, "Those people calculated her like that because they saw me behind her, couldn't my mother see such an obvious thing? Why does she still blame everything on Qing Huan?"

"What kind of person is Mom, don't you know in your heart?" Chen Wan glanced at him amusedly, "If she can see everything clearly and think clearly, is your relationship with her like this?"

Chen Yidong was choked by his sister, and he couldn't say anything to refute for a while.

"Okay, this matter has passed, no matter who is right or wrong, you have already made a choice, since this is the case, you should let go and fulfill your duties and obligations as a member of the Chen family, in fact, this is good for Qinghuan, she can start her life again, without your existence, she will not face so many calculations anymore, and life can be calm, you know all this in your heart, don't you?" Chen Wan walked up to his brother, gently stroked his shoulder, and said earnestly.

Chen Yidong lowered his head and stopped talking, and after a while, he closed his eyes, looked up at the sky that was already Molan, and saw that behind the thick clouds, there were one or two broken shadows of stars, brilliant and lonely.

Indeed, it's time for him to let go and give her a peaceful life, which he owes her......

United States

In the evening, Su Jing blew into Qinghuan's room like a gust of wind, and was already standing in the middle of the room without even knocking on the door, and said in a very excited tone, "Wendy, tomorrow night in the wooden house bar, there is a party with a foreign school, do you know which school there are?"

Before Qing Huan could answer, she couldn't help but reveal the answer herself, "Harvard's, yes, you heard it right, it's Harvard's, there is a debate tournament held at Columbia University next week, they will come two days in advance, that is, tomorrow, I finally got two invitations, let's go, let's go together......"

"No, I have a part-time job tomorrow. Qing Huan looked up from the pile of bottles and cans and cartons, and very simply rejected Su Jing's invitation.

"What, you don't want to take such a rare opportunity?" Su Jing looked at her in disbelief, as if she thought she was crazy, "Harvard's belch, if you can catch one, it's really ......"

"Then I won't go, I don't have time now, I don't have money," Qing Huan buried his head in filling in the information on a mailing slip sent to China, "So now the party or something, and I am officially insulated." ”

After a month of hanging out at various parties with Su Jing and David, one morning, Qing Huan looked at the balance on the card sent by the bank, and couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. So she immediately started looking for part-time jobs online.

Qing Huan's luck is good, it just so happened that early that morning that she went to buy coffee that café was recruiting, after the interview, she was lucky to be left behind, every day after class went over to be a waiter, just at this time some friends in China knew that she came to the United States, they all began to ask her to help buy things, Qing Huan calculated, helping friends buy things seems to be a very small thing, but in fact it occupies a lot of her time and energy, refuse, it seems that it can't be said, so she simply began to do purchasing by the way, so that she can also earn some money to supplement her living expenses。

In this way, her daily life is full of classes, part-time jobs, and purchasing agents, so she really doesn't have time to go to the party that Su Jing wants her to attend.

"Really not going?" Su Jing saw her resolute attitude, so she asked again, "This opportunity is really rare, if you don't go, I'll give it to others." ”

"I really don't have time to go, you can find someone else. Qing Huan replied firmly, never tempted by her.

"Alright then, if you don't go, I'll find someone else. Su Jing pretended to be regretful, "You know, tomorrow, in addition to the people from Harvard, the vice president of the investment bank student union will also go, I heard that you have submitted three applications, right?"

Qing Huan raised his head suddenly, "You mean that Finks will also go tomorrow?"

Su Jing smiled mysteriously, "When do you think my message went wrong?"

"Then I have to go. Qing Huan stood up suddenly, "I'll go with you tomorrow." ”

Studying in the United States, these clubs in the school are a key part of the accumulation of contacts, many members who go out of the school clubs, are willing to recommend their original clubs to work in the company they work for, and these elites from Columbia University, the company they work for will not be bad, and there are not a few who work on Wall Street, the reason why Qinghuan wants to enter the student union of the investment bank is because of the current first-class investment banks on Wall Street, many figures are from this club, only if she enters the inside, she may get the opportunity to go to those investment banks for summer internships in the future。

But these clubs are not so easy to enter, the same, you don't have a background or people in it to recommend, if you want to enter with just an application form, it's almost impossible, Qinghuan's application form has been handed three times, but it has not been passed, which is also a headache for her recently.

So when he heard that Vice President Finks would also go to that party tomorrow, Qing Huan immediately felt like he had been beaten, and felt that this was a very rare opportunity, if he could take the opportunity to establish some contact with Finks and get acquainted with it, maybe he would be willing to recommend himself.

"Wasn't some people's attitude so resolute before? If you want to go now, it depends on whether I want to go with you. Seeing Qing Huan take the bait, Su Jing smiled slyly and took out the invitation and fanned it.

"Su Jing, Su Jing, good Su Jing, you just let me go with you, what do you want me to do, just say, I Gu Qinghuan saddled before and after the horse, and there was no complaint. Qing Huan greeted him flatteringly.

"I want to eat braised beef. ”

"I do. ”

"Tomorrow it's my turn to clean. ”

"How can you clean it yourself, I'll do it, don't break your nails. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll let you go to that party with me tomorrow. Su Jing narrowed her eyes with a smile, and after her requirements were met one by one, she let Qing Huan go and gave her the invitation to go to the party tomorrow.
