How long Hu Xiaoying and Xiang Jin chatted outside, Liang Jian didn't know. Liang Jian didn't know what they were talking about. When Liang Jian came out of the study, Hu Xiaoying and Xiang Jin were chatting with Ge Hui in the living room, talking and laughing, and they seemed to have a good chat. Look at the time, it's already nine o'clock, it's time to disperse.

Xiang Jin walked to Liang Jianjian's side, held hands, said goodbye to Zhang Qiang and Ge Hui, and then walked out the door. At the gate of the courtyard, Gao Chenghan was waiting for him, Liang Jian asked Xiang Jin to go back to the car first, and he and Gao Chenghan walked aside.

Liang Jian smiled and asked, "Brother Gao is okay in Ningzhou these days, it was inconvenient just now, and I couldn't say a few words to you." ”

Gao Chenghan replied: "After Hua Jianjun stepped down, the entire Jiangzhong, especially Ningzhou, was under the control of Secretary Zhang, and the atmosphere was clear for a while, and it was much easier to sit up for work. It's just that such a situation may not last long. As soon as Secretary Zhang leaves this time, the situation in Jiangzhong will be turbulent again. ”

Gao Chenghan's voice was worried. Liang Jian's mood also became heavy. According to what Zhang Qiang said just now, the forces behind the new provincial governor and provincial secretary are not harmonious. In this way, when the two of them arrived in the river, even if it seemed to be calm, there must be a dragon fight underneath. When the time comes, it will still be these old people who will suffer. How to choose someone to stand in line is a tricky question. If you choose neutrality, you will be attacked from both sides if you are not careful, and even if you can barely protect yourself, the taste is not good.

Seeing Gao Chenghan's heavy thinking, Liang Jian had no choice but to comfort: "Don't worry too much now, what will happen in the future, everything is still hard to say." Although it is said that there are few people in command who are very harmonious, but isn't there also a situation where Brother Gao, when you were in Yongzhou at that time, you were in harmony with the old secretary?" Liang Jian made a small joke, but Gao Chenghan just smiled bitterly and said, "That's just a coincidence." Think about it, China is so big, so many provinces and cities, the first and second leaders of that province and city are truly harmonious?"

Liang Jian couldn't refute that in this impetuous society, there are indeed very few. At this time, Gao Chenghan suddenly sighed and said, "However, you are also right. After all, it still hasn't happened, so why should I worry about it. By the way, let me ask you something. ”

Liang Jian hurriedly said, "Brother Gao, you ask." ”

Gao Chenghan said: "I heard that during the last flood in Changqing District, the dam in Qinglongtan was found to have a problem?"

Liang Jian was stunned for a moment and asked Gao Chenghan: "How does Big Brother Gao know about this?"

Gao Chenghan smiled and said: "I have been in Yongzhou for four or five years, although I am no longer in Yongzhou, but I still have a few friends there." Besides, this matter has something to do with you, and I will always pay more attention to it. ”

Liang Jian understood that Gao Chenghan did not mean to please Liang Jian when he said this. Gao Chenghan has always been good friends with him, and it is normal for Gao Chenghan to deliberately pay attention to his affairs. Liang Jian replied: "It is true that some problems have been discovered, and at present, it is only confirmed that it is related to Yan Guoqiang, secretary of the district party committee of Changqing District, and the rest are not very clear, and they are still being verified." ”

Gao Chenghan listened, hesitated slightly, and then said: "Actually, I have heard about the problem of the Qinglongtan Dam when I was in Yongzhou, but because a long time has passed, the group of people who built the dam at the beginning have all gone and retreated, so I didn't pay attention to it." ”

Gao Chenghan's words shocked Liang Jian. He hurriedly asked: "Brother Gao already knew at that time that the dam in Qinglongtan was cutting corners when it was being built?"

Gao Chenghan was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "Cutting corners?

When Liang Jian heard this, he was stunned again, looking at Gao Chenghan's reaction, didn't he say something like cutting corners. He hurriedly asked Gao Chenghan: "What is the problem that Big Brother Gao is talking about?"

Gao Chenghan was about to speak, when another person came out of the gate of the courtyard, it was Hu Xiaoying. As soon as she went out, she looked at Liang Jian and the others on the side. Then he walked over. Liang Jian and Gao Chenghan had no choice but to accept the topic.

Hu Xiaoying walked closer, swept her eyes on Gao Chenghan, and then fell on Liang Jianjian, saying, "I haven't seen you for a while, you look in good spirits." ”

Without waiting for Liang Jian to speak, Hu Xiaoying turned to Gao Chenghan again and asked, "How did Director Gao come?"

Gao Chenghan was stunned, looked at Liang Jian, and replied, "No problem." ”

"So how are you talking? Can you go?" Hu Xiaoying asked again. Gao Chenghan looked at Liang Jian, and Liang Jian had no choice but to smile and say, "It's late, let's go back." Brother Gao, let's go back and talk about it. ”

Gao Chenghan nodded, looked at Liang Jian, and said with some embarrassment: "Then let's go first." ”

Liang Jian nodded. Hu Xiaoying walked past him, and the faint smell of perfume was an unfamiliar smell to Liang Jian. Liang Jian's gaze unconsciously followed her swaying figure, passing through the dim light. Gao Chenghan's car was parked not far away, and soon, the two arrived at the car. When Gao Chenghan opened the door, Hu Xiaoying suddenly turned his head and looked at Liang Jian. The eyes of the two collided in the light.

I couldn't see clearly, but Liang Jian felt pain. Heartache.

He stood there, unable to move. Until Gao Chenghan's car drove away. When he turned around, he found Xiang Jin standing not far away, looking at him. The steps that were supposed to be taken under my feet couldn't help but sink a little.

Until he got into the car, Xiang Jin didn't speak. It wasn't until the car drove out of the provincial capital compound and in the neon city that Xiang Jin suddenly spoke: "Sister Hu is a good person." ”

Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, his heart sank. He didn't speak because he didn't know what to say. On the radio, a song that Liang Jian had never heard before, with a super fast rhythm and inaudible lyrics, made Liang Jian very upset. He raised his hand and pressed it off.

Xiang Jin's gaze withdrew from the window and fell on Liang Jian's side face. Halfway through, she said, "She loves you too." Liang Jian's hand on the steering wheel suddenly clenched. The knuckles glowed pale in the dim light that came in through the window.

He had always known that Xiang Jin knew something. But at this moment, listening to her say this sentence in person, he still felt a little nervous and overwhelmed in his heart.

Liang Jian turned his head and wanted to speak, but Xiang Jin didn't give him this opportunity, and opened his mouth to say, "You love her too, right?"

Liang Jian was already anxious in his heart, and he hurriedly said, "Xiang Jin, you listen to my explanation." My affair with her is in the past. Xiang Jin smiled bitterly and said, "The matter you were with her may have become a thing of the past." However, the love between you and her may not be. In fact, everyone can see that the eyes of you and her are not right when they see each other. Liang Jian, I'm not stupid. ”

Liang Jian was silent. He could only be silent. Doesn't he admit to deceiving Xiang Jin? He can't do it. His conscience, and the love he had for Xiang Jin from the bottom of his heart, made him unable to do this.

Liang Jian stared at the road ahead, his body stiffened. In the quiet carriage, Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Pull over in front, I want to walk alone." ”

Don't look at weekdays, Xiang Jin has always been gentle and sensible, but her stubbornness, Liang Jian had seen it when he first met her. After a traffic light, the car pulled over.

Xiang Jin opened the car door and walked down. Liang Jian immediately followed. Xiang Jin glanced back at him and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. When she turned her head, the look of pain that passed under her eyes made Liang Jian suddenly feel distressed and guilty.

Xiang Jin walked forward, and Liang Jian followed. The two of them walked about 500 meters one after the other. After a few turns, I don't know where the car stopped.

When the wind blew, Xiang Jin hugged himself with both hands and shrunk. Liang Jian immediately took off his coat, stepped forward, and draped it over her. Perhaps it was the warmth of his coat that gave her a reason to stop. Xiang Jin stopped, and when he looked up at his face full of guilt, tears welled up in his eyes.

She has always been beautiful, but at this moment, under the dim light, her miserable eyes, and tears make her have a kind of beauty of pear blossoms with rain, which is so pitiful that it makes people feel distressed.

Liang Jian hugged her into his arms hard.

"I know, it's me who can't stand you. Over the past few years, I owe you a lot. But, please believe me, I have been working hard to be a good husband and father. Liang Jian whispered in her ear.

Her tears fell down his shoulders, soaking through his shirt and sticking to his clothes, feeling cold. Liang Jian's heart is like a fallen leaf in the wind, fluttering and shaking, not knowing where to fall, helpless and frightened.

once thought that his favorite was Hu Xiaoying. But now, getting along every day, and the existence of Ni Shang, he doesn't know what kind of emotion he has for Xiang Jin. Don't you love it, but why, watching her cry, he was so afraid that she would leave. What about Hu Xiaoying? Where should he put Hu Xiaoying? Can one heart really fit two people?

Liang Jian suddenly felt very confused. Xiang Jin and Hu Xiaoying, they are all rare good women. One is the love he once loved, the other has clearly become a part of his life, the mother of his children, how to give up, how to choose. Why, in this world, you really can't have both fish and bear's paws?

People are always greedy, and when faced with a painful choice, they will always hope that the choice does not exist. The same goes for Liang Jian. But he understood, or rather, Xiang Jin's tears, the coldness on his shoulders made him understand that this was impossible.

Xiang Jin left his shoulder, and the fragility of that moment disappeared with the tears she wiped away with her raised hand. Under the light, she looked at Liang Jian, looking very calm and rational. Liang Jian felt scared.

Xiang Jin said: "Sister Hu and I talked a lot outside today, and I knew a lot about some of your previous things. I've always thought you're a good man, and I think so now. This is the reason why I love you, and I think it is also the reason why Sister Hu loves you. But, maybe it's because you're good enough that people can't let go so much. Sister Hu is, and so am I. I've thought about it countless times, since I knew about the matter between you and Sister Hu, maybe I should let go and return you to Sister Hu. Nishang's appearance was an accident, I know, she caused you and Sister Hu to not be together......"

Hearing this, Liang Jian couldn't help but interrupt and hurriedly explained: "You are wrong, no. Even if it weren't for Ni Xiang, she and I wouldn't be together. ”

Xiang Jin smiled, bitter, but very calm.
