In my understanding of Xiao Ai, she may give up this relationship and return to Taiwan to start a new life of her own, or she may continue to stay abroad to relax, but I didn't expect her to have such a choice. In my opinion, this is no longer so simple as having the courage to face it, because the opponent she has to face is Li Zishan, who once counted Xiao in prison, and in terms of playing with power, Xiao Ai is obviously not of the same magnitude as her.

Li Zishan, this woman is really not a straw bag with only ambition and no ability, in the past two years, Jinding Real Estate has successfully come out of the shadow of the economic downturn under her control, and seized the wave of Nanjing real estate market last year, and made a lot of money. And this also made her prestige further improved within the group, so Xiao Ai made this decision at this time, in addition to accidents, more worries. Except for those shares and a group of old subordinates of Mr. Xiao who have gradually lost power, she has no other bargaining chips to fight against Li Zishan, who occupies the right time and place.

Jin Qiu, who has been accustomed to fighting in the shopping mall, naturally sees it more thoroughly than me, and after a deep groan, she said to Xiao Ai: "Your determination is not wrong, but as an outsider who knows a little about Jinding Real Estate, I must tell you that the current is definitely not the best time for you to enter Jinding Real Estate." As far as I know, just a week ago, Li Zishan delegated Wu Qianjin, who was in charge of the innovation research department, to the management center of the Pearl River Delta region. You should know that Wu Qianjin was one of the most confidant executives when your father was in charge of the group. ”

Xiao Ai didn't show the slightest hint of flinching, she replied to Jin Qiu: "I know the importance of this department, so who is in charge now?" ”

Jin Qiu looked at me, then at Xiao Ai again, and then replied, "You all know this person." ”

I blurted out: "Is it Zhao Mu?" ”

Jin Qiu nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, it's Zhao Mu...... Now he should be regarded as one of the most confidants around Li Zishan. ”

This time, Xiao Ai's face fell into silence with a solemn face, and Jin Qiu said to her again in her silence: "I advise you to retract this decision, right?" At this time, it's really unwise...... After all, Mr. Xiao is about to be released from prison in half a year, and all these things for power and profit should be handed over to him, a better person. Don't forget, although his influence within the group may not be as good as before, but he has been operating in Nanjing for so many years, and he still has many friends in the political and business circles, with his ability, these people can be a powerful help for him on the road to comeback, but you don't, and even if you have, you don't know how to deal with these people...... So, you really should choose to stay out of it, because there is a far better path ahead of you than this. ”

The early morning sun pierced the feet of Jin Qiu and Xiao Ai at a tricky angle, and feeling the gust of breeze blowing along the small lake, it was impossible for people to associate this with a depressing morning. Although there is a cemetery behind us, if there is reincarnation, this is the closest place to reincarnation......

Xiao Ai finally turned his head to look directly at Jin Qiu, and then replied, "Why did the two people who were hurt the most choose to stay out of the matter? ”

Jin Qiu was asked, and she was speechless for a while.

Xiao Ai said: "Thank you again for your kindness, I don't know what Jiang Qiao thinks, but I have recognized a lot of things and the true face of some people, Jiang Qiao and I are the people in the world who can't stay out of the world, so I don't want to consider those choices to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, I just want to go down the closest and most difficult road in front of me, as for the result...... Resigned! ”

Jin Qiu swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and at the same time put the bank card containing 1.5 million yuan back into his handbag. After a moment of silence, he asked me again, "Jiang Qiao, what do you think?" ”

"I respect her choice, as long as she is in Nanjing and does not return to Taiwan, there is still hope between us."

Jin Qiu nodded, and then said to me: "My question is quite redundant, all your choices now are based on your not separating, maybe this is also a way to be together...... I don't have much to say, but I wish you all happiness for the long days ahead! ”

After saying this, Jin Qiu looked at me, then turned around and walked towards his car......

Her car disappeared from view in a few moments, and the world suddenly became calm, and all the fears that had been caused by the unknown seemed to melt away in the dazzling sunlight. At this moment, I know better than ever what Xiao Ai is going to do next. And I'm not afraid of the difficulties and obstacles that lie in front of me, what I'm most afraid of is just uncertainty.

……

In front of my grandmother's tombstone, Xiao Ai and I cleaned up the weeds together, and then washed the tombstone with clean water, and the dust that was washed off was like a bad mood for us these days, Xiao Ai and I could finally face Grandma's tombstone with a temporarily relaxed heart.

After standing quietly for a long time, I finally said to Xiao Ai beside me: "Time flies so fast, before I know it, grandma has been gone for almost two years, but I always feel that she is by my side." Because when I do a lot of things, I think about whether she would want me to do it if she was still alive, and sometimes I really think she's going to give me the answer. ”

"yes, what are your plans for the future?"

After experiencing such a big upswing and backwardness, of course I will not have an opinion in my heart so soon, I replied truthfully: "I don't know yet, but I will definitely stay in Nanjing...... Speaking of this, I smiled and said: "I should not live those lives that are addicted to the world of flowers and plants...... Do you know? Since the old alley was demolished, my mother bought me an old house in Lane 24, the layout of which is similar to the old house, and I planted more flowers in it than before, but now the house has been given to those migrant workers to live in, and I don't know if they have taken good care of those flowers. ”

Xiao Ai smiled and asked me again, "Then do you still have a place to live in Nanjing?" ”

I instantly felt a sense of dazedness, and only replied after a long time: "No, there is no place to live, but I still have a little spare money in my hand, and there are two one-bedroom sea-view houses in Lianyungang...... Life can go on. After thinking about it, I said with excitement: "By the way, I also bought a five-star hotel city view double room, and now I entrust it to the hotel management, if I apply now, I should be able to get it to live next month." ”

This time Xiao Ai didn't look at me, she just looked at her grandmother's tombstone and said, "In this way, you have at least lacked material things in the past two years." ”

"Yes, I don't lack anything, just lack you, so I'm not in the mood to enjoy the happiness brought by material things, the only meaning of their existence is just to prove that I haven't wasted my time in the past few years, I have done a little practical thing."

Xiao Ai answered, and then fell silent, and then I saw a face that was so serious that I wanted to cry, and I remembered the time when she cried in front of her grandmother's tombstone, but I couldn't feel her mood at that time.

Just when I thought she would say a lot to my grandmother's tombstone, she took my hand and said to me, "Let's go, Jiangqiao...... Back to Tulip Road, where we rented a house and we were neighbors. ”

"Commercial house, or old yard?"

"Is there an old yard on that street?"

"No, that old alley is the last place on that street where there are houses, and now there are only commercial houses left on Tulip Road...... If you like to live in old yards, we can take a look near Lane 24, there are still many old yards that have been preserved. ”

Xiao Ai almost didn't think much about it, so he shook his head and replied: "Tulip Road is very good, and living in commercial housing is the same, so it should be our determination to keep pace with the times...... Those happy times brought by the old house, we can cherish it in our hearts and then take it as the best memory. ”

"Okay, then it's settled."

After saying this, Xiao Ai and I left the cemetery. This time, we were not as heartbreaking as we imagined, and we didn't say anything from the bottom of our hearts. There seems to be a tacit understanding between us, we let go of the heavy burdens of the past together, and another challenging life is slowly unfolding in front of us......

……

Driving the borrowed Cruze, I took Xiao Ai back to Tulip Road, where we had lunch at the "Sycamore Restaurant" and then walked through the street together.

At the end of the street, Xiao Ai stopped, and she said to me: "Jiangqiao, in the afternoon, you are looking for a house to live in here, I want to go to Jinding Real Estate, I hope that when I come back in the evening, you have found a house that you can move in, and I am waiting for the dinner you made." ”

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you at home."

"Well, remember it's a door-to-door house."

I nodded, and Xiao Ai, after receiving my affirmative answer, took a taxi and left Tulip Road, while I stood there for a long time. When I was the only one left, I was able to calm down and think about why Xiao Ai did this.

This is a great sacrifice, only if she takes over Jinding Real Estate, can she resist the pressure from all sides, and then stay in Nanjing justifiably. In addition, she had no reason to stay in Nanjing, and once she returned to Taiwan with Ruan Su, many things lost the initiative again. And her choice to take over Jinding Real Estate is also a compromise solution, because it will divert the attention of many people, and they will not just stare at the love between us, which is already full of holes. If I am a smart enough person, I should also temporarily put aside my children's affection, not to mention helping Xiao Ai turn the tide, at least I have to protect her on this thorny road.

Perhaps, this is really the best way out between us. And evasion and repeated forbearance will not be anything more than making us undignified.
