Chapter 207: Paper can't hold the fire

Cheng Xunxun was stunned for a moment, vaguely felt that the atmosphere on the side was not quite right, and slowly turned his head, and saw a man holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Standing tall and straight, standing not far or near them. Cheng Xunxun squinted his eyes and looked back at Sun Jie who was standing behind, he was also looking at the man, frowning slightly, as if he was a little unhappy.

Cheng Xunxun quietly took a step back, stood beside Sun Jie, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know?"

Her voice just fell. The man standing not far away moved, and then walked straight this way. Sun Jie snorted lightly and did not answer her question.

Lu Jingbei didn't expect to meet Cheng Xunxun here, he went straight over, stood in front of the tombstone, bent down and put down the bouquet in his hand, during the whole process, he didn't look at Cheng Xunxun, obviously treating them as air.

There was a dangerous aura on this person's body, and the aura that emanated made Cheng Xunxun couldn't help but take a step back and stand side by side with Sun Jie.

The three of them stood in front of the tombstone like this, the atmosphere was a little weird, Cheng Xunxun stared at the back of his head for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"

Sun Jie glared at her.

Lu Jingbei heard the voice. The eyebrows raised slightly, and he turned his head to look her up and down, "Haven't remembered yet?"

Cheng Xun was stunned. Just as he was about to ask something, Sun Jie pulled her and said, "Let's go." ”

"Wait a minute. Cheng Xunxun broke away from his hand, stepped forward, stood beside Lu Jingbei, and asked, "We knew each other before?"

Lu Jingbei smiled silently.

Cheng Xunxun waited for a while, and when she saw that he didn't speak, she asked again: "What is your relationship with Lu Xiao, and how did she die?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

"She's my friend. ”

He smiled and said, "Really, it turns out that you are friends, what a coincidence." ”

"Who the hell are you? Were we friends before?"

"We're not friends. ”

Sun Jie couldn't help it, stepped forward and pulled Cheng Xunxuan to his side again, and said, "He is friends with Zhou Yanqing." ”

Cheng Xunxun frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Jingbei spoke, "When I stay with my wife, I don't like to be disturbed by others, so please leave." ”

"Wife?" Cheng Xunxun was a little surprised, but she was pulled away by Sun Jie before she had time to ask.

On the way back, Cheng Xunxun didn't speak, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking. The atmosphere in the car was too silent, Sun Jie coughed, and finally couldn't help but break the torturous dead silence, and asked with a smile: "What time is the plane tomorrow?"

Cheng Xunxun was distracted and didn't hear his question, Sun Jie waited for a while, but didn't wait for a response.

Sun Jie stretched out his hand and patted her, and she suddenly came back to her senses. As if startled, he shrugged his shoulders, turned his head sideways, looked dazed, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I talked to you, didn't you hear?"

"Ahh ”

The smile on Sun Jie's face faded, and he was silent for a few seconds, and said, "I asked you what time your plane is tomorrow, but do you still want to leave?"

Cheng Xunxun paused when he heard this, turned his head to look at him, the two looked at each other, and after a while, Cheng Xunxun smiled and said, "Why don't you want to go? ”

"What were you thinking just now, thinking so much. ”

She was silent for a while and said, "I miss Lu Xiao." Also, there was the man just now who turned out to be Lu Xiao's husband. ”

"I thought you were more curious that he and Zhou Yanqing turned out to be friends. Sun Jie almost hit her mind at a glance.

Cheng Xunxun's expression froze, but he still pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and said, "It's normal to be curious, isn't it?" So coincidentally, Lu Xiao's husband turned out to be Zhou Yanqing's friend, and when I was in prison, Lu Xiao took good care of me. ”

Sun Jie looked at her with a serious face and said, "I know what you're thinking. ”

Cheng Xunxun sneered, only glanced at him with his spare eyes, and said, "What?"

"I probably know why you're going back to Edinburgh. ”

Many times, Cheng Xunxun can't stand Sun Jie's serious appearance, in fact, she knows that Sun Jie is not as simple as it seems on the surface, after all, a person who can mix well in officialdom will never be a simple-minded person, in front of him, her mind can't be hidden.

She sighed, how she hoped that one day, she could have a simple-minded friend by her side, so that she would not be so tired to get along, and what she wanted to hide would not be so easy to be seen through.

She actually hates being like a blank sheet of paper in the eyes of others, which can be seen through at a glance. The reason why she went back to Edinburgh, she didn't want to say, and she didn't want to hear the correct answer from someone else's mouth. Cheng Xunxun put away the smile on his face and glanced sideways at him.

Sun Jie said: "Lu Xiao and Lu Jingbei are not in harmony at all, so the conjecture in your heart is not valid." ”

Before the words fell, Cheng Xunxun laughed, as if he had heard some joke, shook his head, lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Sun Jie, how about we get married?"

"Huh?" Her words came suddenly, which caught Sun Jie off guard, and he couldn't react at all.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say that I had agreed with you at the beginning? As long as you can get me out of prison, I will marry you." You're right, although I have amnesia, I can't break my promise to you because I have amnesia. I'm willing to marry you, but what about you?"

Sun Jie still didn't react from her words, and it took a long time before he burst out with a sentence, "You...... What you say, you say again. A smile had begun to grow on his lips.

"I'll only say this kind of thing once, and forget if I can't hear it. ”

In the next second, Sun Jie laughed, reached out to hold her hand, and said, "This is long overdue." ”

Cheng Xunxun didn't struggle, let him hold it, and said with a smile: "I wronged you." ”

She meant a double word in her words, sincere and serious.

Sun Jie lowered his head and broke her fingers, so that the hands of the two of them became ten fingers interlocked, then gently held them, and said with a smile: "What are you wronged, the matter of holding a beauty is not wronged at all." ”

"I'll wait for you in Edinburgh and take care of your Miss Lin. Eventually, she withdrew her hand, turned her head, and looked out the window.

Speaking of Miss Lin, the smile on Sun Jie's face faded, obviously not so easy to do.

When Lu Jingbei came to the hospital, it was already past the time of the curfew, of course, this was nothing for him, and he came to the ward where Zhou Yanqing was unimpeded, opened the door and walked in. Zhou Yanqing woke up instantly, but didn't open his eyes, Lu Jingbei pulled over the chair, sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "I'm here." ”

The corners of Zhou Yanqing's lips moved slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Coincidentally, I met Cheng Xunxun. He added.

Zhou Yanqing sat up slowly and said, "Really?"

When the words fell, neither of them spoke again, Lu Jingbei crossed Erlang's legs, put his hands on his knees, and seemed to be waiting for Zhou Yanqing to speak first.

After a long time, the door of the ward was pushed open again, Rong Zheng came in from the outside, and saw Lu Jingbei stunned at first, and then reacted, took a deep look at Zhou Yanqing who was sitting on the bed, stood at the door for a while, and then closed the door, walked over, stood at the end of the bed, and said hello to Lu Jingbei with a smile.

Lu Jingbei turned his head to look at him, and then looked at Zhou Yanqing, who was sitting on the bed, still silent.

He lowered his eyes and reached for the cup on the bedside table, the water in it was already cold, he took a sip, and the coldness passed through his bowels. The dreary room was a little breathless.

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Yanqing spoke, and said with a smile: "Should you tell me about the reason why you two don't tell me the truth." ”

"Do you remember?" Rong Zheng asked, he was not too surprised, he knew that he had been in contact with Cheng Xunxun during this time, and it was not strange that he would be touched.

Zhou Yanqing raised his eyes, his eyes were slightly dark, his expression was indifferent, and he said, "No, but there are some things that are different from my memory." After certification and judgment, it was clear that there was something wrong with my memory. ”

"Now it's also clear that I have a memory problem, you all know. Cheng Xunxun, you all know that the reason why Chen Yujian gave her to me should not only be because she is really Tang Weixi, there is enmity between us, but also because I have emotional entanglements with her, right?

As soon as these words came out, Rong Zheng and Lu Jingbei looked at him almost at the same time, and Zhou Yanqing said word by word: "I'm in love with the real Tang Weixi, right?"

When he said this, he did not show any emotion, but was just asking, or rather stating.

Rong Zheng shook his head with a smile, clasped his arms in his hands, and said, "I'll just say, paper can't hold the fire, and one day you will know." ”

Lu Jingbei didn't speak, and the expression on his face was serious.

Zhou Yanqing didn't have a smile on his face, his tone was cold, and he asked, "Why didn't you tell me?" When he said this, his eyes fell on Lu Jingbei.

The two looked at each other and did not speak for a long time.

"Let me ask you a question. Lu Jingbei said.

Zhou Yanqing only looked at him.

"Family and lovers, who do you choose?"

Zhou Yanqing narrowed his eyes and did not answer the question, saying, "No matter who I choose, you have no reason to hide the truth from me. ”

"Lao Wu, your surname is Song, Cheng Xunxun's surname is Tang, it is not difficult for you to be together, let your family disappear forever first, then there will be no obstacle between you. The entanglement between the three of you, needless to say, should be clear to you by now. Even if we tell you about Cheng Xunxun, what can we do?" Lu Jingbei smiled indifferently and said: "It's not enough for two people to love each other, it's not just a life between you. The Tang family was defeated, Tang Shijin died suddenly, is it possible that she and her mother were kidnapped at the beginning, and it also has something to do with the Song family. So let's ask, if one day Cheng Xunchun knows everything, do you think she can be with you calmly?"

"Rong Zheng is right, paper can't hold the fire, you will know everything, and she will know everything sooner or later. More is better than less, and since you've both forgotten about each other, it's not a bad thing for you. At least as a bystander, if Song Peili is your biological father, there are some things that you can't escape and can't break free, and it's better to forget than to remember the pain. ”

Lu Jingbei did not evade or dodge at all, looked at him intently, with a hint of helplessness in his smile, and said: "You must know that many people want to forget it, how painful it is. ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, Zhou Yanqing suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said: "The grievances between our three families, logically speaking, you shouldn't know, since you can know so clearly now, it means that someone must have come to you and successfully persuaded you." "Mubu Zhuang.

"Love and profit, naturally, interests come first. Lu Jingbei, Lu Jingbei, you can mix so smoothly on the road, there should also be a credit from the Song family, right? There is also Rong Zheng, the Rong Group can still be so prosperous, let you follow closely behind Xinhe, there must be the help of the Song family, right?" Zhou Yanqing smiled, reached out and patted Lu Jingbei's shoulder, and said: "It's okay, each of us has our own position, and keeping up can get so much benefit, if it were me, I would do the same." After all, I can't refute a single word of what you said, and it does sound like the best choice. ”

Lu Jingbei remained silent, and the expression on his face remained unchanged.

Four years ago, half a year after Zhou Yanqing disappeared, An Yu personally went to find Lu Jingbei. Since she can sit in front of him and negotiate, she is naturally completely sure.

When Zhou Yanqing was captured by the people of the black shadow, Song Peili could let the people of the black shadow let Zhou Yanqing go so easily, he must have his own connections on the road, and he has a lot of connections.

At that time, Lu Jingbei's completely own power was not as strong as imagined, and part of it was still the power of the Lu family, and Lu Boss had several sons, and there was a group of die-hard subordinates, he had not completely settled, and a large number of people were not satisfied with Lu Jingbei as the helmsman, so his situation was actually not very optimistic, he had to quickly expand and enhance his own power in order to be able to truly gain a foothold and annex the Lu family.

He agreed to shut up, of course, in addition to interests, as a bystander, he felt that this was the best result for Zhou Yanqing and Cheng Xunxun. After all, true love is invincible, it's just talk.

Lu Jingbei lowered his eyes and said, "I don't think my decision is wrong, whether it's for you or for me. ”

Zhou Yanqing hooked her lips and said, "I also think your decision is right." Rather than knowing the truth earlier, I would rather see your achievements today, give you a step, and you will be able to climb up, even more powerful than you imagined, not everyone can do it. After all, there are many things that you have to be strong enough to be able to control by yourself, don't you say?"

"What do you want to do?" Lu Jingbei could naturally see his thoughts.

Zhou Yanqing smiled lightly, "Wait." When the time comes, I'll tell you what I want to do. ”

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng smiled and compared?? gestures.

The next day, Sun Jie took two hours to send him to the airport, Chen Yujian had something to do, so he just called and asked her to report his safety when she arrived.

Cheng Xunxun answered and hung up the phone.

At the airport, Sun Jie was like an old mother, instructing this and that, Cheng Xunxun had a smile on his face, one ear in and one ear out, sitting on a chair and bowing his head to play.

Sun Jie snatched it from her hand and said, "Did you listen to me?"

Cheng Xunxun was startled, the whole person still maintained his original posture, and only then tilted his head to look at him, was silent for a while, and said, "Sun Jie, are you menopause?"

"Am I not worried about you??

"Am I a child?" she still tilted her head, her arms folded, and looked at him seriously.

"To me, it's no different from a child. ”

Cheng Xunxun sneered, reached out and took back his own, lowered his head and continued to play the game, saying, "I have already called my father, and he will send someone to pick me up at the airport when the time comes, you can put a hundred and twenty hearts." ”

She looked at the time, put it away, stood up, and said, "I'm going through security, you can go back." ”

"It's still early, I'm sitting down. ”

"The plane is still half an hour to take off, and I just got in. As for you, whether you want to marry me, or fall in love with me, or do something else, please settle your marriage contract first, okay?" she made a gesture of please with a standard smile on her face, and said, "Please give me the luggage, thank you." ”

Sun Jie wanted to say something, but after looking at each other with Cheng Xunxun, he took a step back and said, "Call me when you arrive." ”

Cheng Xunxun bent over and pulled up the trolley box, nodded, and said, "I know, you've said it several times, goodbye." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the security checkpoint, Sun Jie stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, Cheng Xunxuan stopped, "Why are you reluctant to let me go?

"No, of course not. Sun Jie restrained his smile and said seriously: "What you told me yesterday is true, right?"

"yes, really. ”

"Then you wait for me. ”

"Then I can't wait forever, I'm not too young, there must be a deadline. After the Chinese New Year, if you can't solve it, forget about this agreement. ”

Sun Jie was anxious, "How is this enough, it's almost the New Year......"

"Isn't it enough? I think that's enough, after all, I've given you four years, and you haven't been able to solve this matter for four years. I can't blame me for not keeping my agreement, what do you think?" Cheng Xunxun's expression was calm, with a gentle smile between his eyebrows.

Sun Jie was speechless, and his hand holding her tightened.

She smiled and pulled his hand away and said, "I really have to go, otherwise I won't be able to catch the plane, and you will pay me for the ticket." After she finished speaking, she turned around, only walked a few steps and stopped, as if she suddenly thought of something, and returned to him, "Also, you do your best about the marriage contract, don't force it." I don't want you to have nothing because of me, I can't afford it, and I'm afraid you'll regret it later, really. ”

Finally, she said thank you again and turned away, this time without looking back.

Zhou Yanqing sat on the hospital bed, looked down at the wallet in his hand, and then the sound on the side of the pillow rang, he put the wallet to the side, picked it up, and answered the phone, "Hey." ”

"Miss Cheng's flight back to Edinburgh at three o'clock. ”

Zhou Yanqing was silent for a moment before answering and hanging up the phone.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Rong Zheng went to the airport, and waited for about twenty minutes before he saw Zhou Yanan coming out of it, and when he saw him from a distance, he waved at him, and then took three steps and two steps, walked up to him, and said, "It's a great honor for a busy person to pick me up." Where's my mom?

"Your mother went to buy vegetables herself, and she knew that you would come back today and prepare to cook a delicious meal for you. You said that it's not good for you to go anywhere, but you have to go to Tibet, your mother can't go to that place if she wants to, you come back once a year, she can't see you if she wants to, you are unfilial. ”

"Hey, isn't my brother here? Besides, I often call back and send some things back, so why am I not filial. Uncle, you can't wronged me like this. Zhou Yanan stretched and said, "Go home, go home early so that my mother can see me early." ”

As she spoke, she grabbed Rong Zheng's arm and pushed him out.

Rong Zheng said, "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

"This time we can stay a little longer, there is a new teacher from the school, we talked about it, he said he will go back early, then I can be a little later. ”

"Are you still going?" Rong Zheng frowned, glanced at her sideways, and said, "Do you usually look in the mirror?"

Zhou Yanan knew what he wanted to say as soon as he heard it, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth, his eyes widened, "Don't speak, I don't want to listen." ”

Rong Zheng avoided it, sneered, and said, "It seems that you are still a little conscious." Seriously, you're not too young, you're in your thirties, and you also said that if there is a new volunteer teacher in the past, you won't go. Find a job here, I will arrange a blind date for you, get married and have children, so that your mother can rest assured, your brother got married the year before last, and now it's you. ”

"Your mother's health has not been very good in the past two years, and they all say that her daughter is her parents' little padded jacket, and your little padded jacket should also come over to warm your mother. ”

As the clichΓ© goes, when Zhou Yanan comes back once, Rong Zheng has to say it once, but Zhou Yanan doesn't take it to heart most of the time, and he still wants to leave as soon as he wants. She was also reluctant to stay in Luancheng.

Rong Zheng looked at her appearance, couldn't help frowning, and said, "Talking to you, did you hear it?" Your mother's focus is now on you and your brother, and your brother still reassures her that it is you, who has not been around all year, and she always remembers it." She lets you do what you like. ”

"It's been four years, shouldn't you change it now and think about it for your mother?"

Zhou Yanan pursed his lips, smiled helplessly, and said, "Uncle, your menopause has arrived?" ”

"Cheng Xunxun is back. ”

"Huh?" Rong Zheng said suddenly, Zhou Yanan didn't react at once, suddenly stopped, and asked, "What did you say?"

Rong Zheng took two steps, glanced back at her, and said, "I said Cheng Xunxun is back." ”

Zhou Yanan was stunned, and slowly showed a little smile on his face.

When Cheng Xunchun arrived in Edinburgh, it was night, Yu Xuejun came to pick up the plane in person, Cheng Xunchun was still a little surprised to see him, ran over and hugged him, and said, "Why did you come here in person?"

"If I have time today, I'll pick you up. The smile on Yu Xuejun's face was very bright, he looked her up and down, and said, "I've lost weight." ”

"Yes, I'm hungry now with my chest against my back, and of course I'm thin. Dad, you're in for a treat today. ”

"Okay. Yu Xuejun smiled, and the father and daughter left the airport together, took the car back to the city, and found a restaurant to eat.

"Why did you suddenly want to come back?"

"It's going to be the New Year, I want to come back to celebrate the New Year with you and make dumplings to eat. Although we are in a foreign country, the Chinese New Year is still in accordance with the time and customs in China, and we will be reunited with our relatives during the New Year, and my only relative is here, of course I want to come back. Cheng Xunxun said while cutting the steak.

The whole person looks very happy, but Yu Xuejun can see that her happiness is very superficial.

"When are you going to go back?"

Cheng Xunxun still lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "I won't go back." ”
