After sending Jin Qiu away, I went back to the hospital, and Yang Qu, who finished filming, also went back before me, and the three of us sat next to Yang Jin's hospital bed, chatting about Jin Qiu.

I was the one who started talking about it, because I didn't know who the cousin I was with Jin Qiu was.

The person who solved my confusion was Yang Qu, and she said that the cousin was the son of her uncle's family. is currently working as an executive in a multinational company, which can be said to be the most low-key one in the entire Yang family. He didn't go into politics, let alone use his family's resources to do business, and he achieved today's position as an executive, and he also came step by step from a small clerk, and did not take any shortcuts, and he is now 30 years old before me.

I kind of understand why Jin Qiu chose to be with him, because what she needs is such a man.

After I told the people in the room about Jin Qiu's love, the only person who didn't say anything was Yang Jin. Perhaps, at the moment, her mood is complicated, but she also accepts this result, after all, no one can live in this world instead of anyone, so Jin Qiu should also have her own new life under Yang Jin's aura, but this day came much earlier than expected.

But this is also the embodiment of her wisdom, I understand why she didn't say it at the dinner table before, because she wanted to tell Yang Jin through my mouth. Then let's draw a decent end between ourselves.

I don't dare to say that she did this to make room between me and Xiao Ai, but we are really settled because of this, and I don't have to live with guilt about Lao Jin anymore. At this point, we are all down-to-earth, and even Yang Jin is also down-to-earth.

After chatting about this topic, Yang Qu said to Xiao Ai and me: "Brother, sister-in-law, I will follow the crew to shoot abroad tomorrow, saying that it will be a week, and in this week, you will see who stays in the hospital at night to accompany my mother." ”

Before I could speak, Xiao Ai replied: "I, Jiang Qiao is somewhat inconvenient, he can come over and take care of it during the day." ”

We all agreed to Xiao Ai's proposal, and besides, Xiao Ai and I lived not far from here, and if there was any emergency, I would be able to arrive soon.

……

On the fourth day after that, Jin Qiu brought the equity transfer contract back to Nanjing, and I officially became the largest shareholder and legal person of Tulip Hotel. However, I did not immediately participate in the management of the hotel, but was managed by professional managers and their teams, and my main focus was on the construction of the Smoke Hotel.

Don't underestimate this cigarette hotel, if I can open all channels, its profitability will definitely not be worse than a small business, because the demand for tobacco and alcohol in the wedding piece is really too great.

This evening, after attending the first plenary meeting of the "Tulip Hotel", I received a call from Qin Miao, who first congratulated me on the news, and then asked me to reserve 18 senior suites and 57 business standard rooms for her on the weekend of next week, as well as a large conference room. She said that Jiangjian Group will hold a large-scale thank-you meeting next week to express gratitude to the real estate developers and government units that have cooperated with Jiangjian Group in recent years.

I wasn't sure if I would be able to get so many rooms on that day, so I asked her to come to the hotel to talk to the general manager in person, and she said that it was no problem and that she would pay 50% in advance. Her generous shot also made me feel from another level that the current Jiangjian Group and Jinding Real Estate are the two sharp knives of the city's real estate construction industry, and they are too successful!

A moment later, Qin Miao arrived, and I took her to meet the manager of the hotel, but the result was not very optimistic, because next week's weekend was a good day to get married, so nearly ninety percent of the hotel's rooms were booked in advance. And Qin Miao's matter naturally failed to be done.

I sent Qin Miao to the door of the hotel, she smiled and said with emotion: "Your hotel is really amazing, the room reservation rate in the next week can reach ninety, how do you let other five-star hotels live?!" ”

I replied immodestly: "Don't say that a week later, our hotel, next year's May Day and Eleven rooms have been fully booked, no way, this is the nature of the hotel, we compared with the traditional five-star hotel, the advantage is not a little bit...... So I'm sorry to let you run for nothing.

Qin Miao replied in a joking tone: "Jiang Qiao, don't be tempted by me. I have discussed with Qiao Ye in the last two days, whether to make a hotel of my own brand, making money second, mainly to facilitate the reception of customers, otherwise the entertainment cost is quite scary...... It's better to drive on this road, anyway, we still have a piece of land here that hasn't been developed. ”

I smiled......

After a brief silence, I shifted the subject to her and asked, "By the way, how is Youlu doing lately?" ”

Qin Miao's mood instantly subdued, she shook her head, and replied, "I'm not particularly optimistic, I haven't been crying for the past few days...... However, I refused to say anything, I was really afraid that if this child continued like this, this child would close himself off...... This is our sin. ”

I felt uncomfortable for a while, and after a while, I asked her again, "What about Qiao Ye?" What is his attitude? ”

"He doesn't care much about this kid...... It's all his parents and me who are worried...... During this time, Qiao Ye seemed to be a different person, and he had to stay in the group until more than ten o'clock every day before going home, and then locked himself in the study again......"

I sighed softly and replied, "If something like this happens, don't expect him to be like a normal person and just be alive." ”

"Yes, as long as I can live, I don't dare to expect too much......"

After a slight pause, Qin Miao said with emotion: "Once, I thought that it would be a kind of fulfillment to be able to bring over the custody of Youlu, but when it was really realized, I found that it was not like that. We still haven't been able to create a homely atmosphere between us! ”

I nodded and said, "The key to the problem is still on Su Han...... Perhaps, it will be better to wait, and you must not give up your efforts. ”

Qin Miao smiled in frustration and replied, "You're too worried, is there any other choice for me now?" I've lost my right to be a mom...... Since Youlu has Qiao Ye's blood on his body, of course I will treat him as my own child...... The grievances between us will never affect the children, and I can guarantee this with my personality. ”

"Hmm."

Qin Miao looked at me, no longer had the emotions she had when she was joking just now, and after she entrusted me with time to enlighten and enlighten Qiao Ye, she left the Tulip Hotel.

However, I was left with the problem...... After all, I don't have the ability to make everything between them choose again, let alone let Su Han be free again.

……

The next day, a very surprising news came. I heard that Su Han was released because He Jun stopped the accusations against her and took all the crashes of the year on himself.

Some people say that it was He Jun's conscience who found out; Some people also said that this was the result of Qiao Ye's intervention, and he finally chose to give Su Han a way to live; There is even an unbelievable saying: it is said that Qin Miao chose to forgive Su Han, and it was she who cleared Su Han's sins.

I don't know which one to believe, even though I'm their closest friend. In the end, this grievance and revenge can only become an unsolved case in my heart. But I still prefer to believe that Su Han was only used by He Jun, and she never had the heart to harm Qin Miao. And she's still the best friend to befriend.

On the day Su Han was released, she chose to leave Nanjing, and she has never appeared in anyone's sight again.

……

It was another late night, after I was escorted in the hospital, I returned to Tulip Road, and when I was about to drive the car into the parking lot, I accidentally found that Zhao Mu's car was parked not far away, he seemed to be waiting for me, and the next moment he opened the car door and walked over.

I opened the car door and stood face to face with him, just one look at him, and I felt that he was a little scary. He said to me in a low voice, "Brother Qiao, can you accompany me on this road?" ”

I nodded, not rushing to ask him why he suddenly felt like he wanted to walk here, I just walked out of the parking lot after him, and then walked side by side on the tulip road that we had walked countless times since we were children, but now it doesn't feel that way before.

When I was about to arrive at the "Wutong Hotel", I finally opened my mouth and asked him, "Why do you suddenly want to come here and walk, is it not your recent work that is not going well?" ”

Zhao Mu stopped, and then stood at the door of the "Wutong Hotel", looking at the place where the old alley once was. After a long time, he said to me: "Today I came back from a business trip in Guangzhou, and the train I took was ...... Maybe it's because I'm so tired these days, and I've slept all the way. I've had several dreams, all of which are related to old alleys...... I don't know why I suddenly had such a dream, I've been away from here for so long, and sometimes I can't even remember the child I was once out of here...... Hehe! ”

I didn't speak, but subconsciously followed his gaze into the distance......

Zhao Mu said to me again: "Brother Qiao, is there any smoke?" Get me one. ”

I was stunned for a moment, then I took one out of my cigarette case and handed it to him, and said to him, "I've never seen you smoke." ”

Zhao Mu lit the cigarette, but he didn't put it in his mouth to smoke, he looked at the cigarette that was slowly burning between his fingers, and said to me after a while: "I used to watch you and Zhao Chu smoke, and I was actually quite envious in my heart...... I also wanted to taste that kind of chic, but I couldn't let go of the reputation of being a good student, so after struggling, I chose to be the latter, because I knew too well what kind of person I had to be......"

At this point, he finally put the half-lit cigarette in his mouth and took a puff, his movements were clumsy, and he was soon choked by the cigarette and choked on tears......

He said to me again, "Brother Qiao...... Did you know...... You know? In the dream I just had, we were all the way we are now, only Zhao Chu is still in high school...... He carried the fish he had caught from the river and ran back and forth in the alley several times...... I know he's looking for us...... That's how he used to be, and when he got these things, he would always be the first to think of us...... At that time, you were all cooking, and I was there doing all kinds of homework, even though it seemed a little out of place with you; In the evening, however, we mingled again, and set up a small round table in the courtyard, and drank and ate at the same time...... By the way, my favorite thing is the weekends, because I have time to drink a little more with you. If you have some spare money, you can also go to the billiard room outside the alley to play a few billiards...... But I don't know why, in those dreams in the afternoon, Zhao Chu, who was carrying a fish, was scared away after finding us...... He said, we've all changed......"

After listening to Zhao Mu's words, my heart was very uncomfortable, and then I also remembered those old times in the past...... Just when I wanted to say something to Zhao Mu, An Lin's voice suddenly came from the "Wutong Hotel" behind me. She said that Zhao Mu was a rare guest, and she insisted that we go in and have two drinks; She also said that Chen Yi was also ......

This time, Zhao Mu and I rarely had a tacit understanding, and we rejected An Lin for the same reason. An Lin scolded us, saying that we were too ununderstanding, because Chen Yi had drunk too much, and someone had to send her back.

Actually, Chen Yi didn't drink as much as I imagined, and the next moment, she walked out of the restaurant, then looked at Zhao Mu, but said to me: "Jiangqiao, don't listen to An Lin's nonsense...... I'm still like I told you that day, I can keep the bottom line of drinking...... I'll go back by myself, so I won't bother you! ”

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he carried his handbag, but he walked towards the door of the community with a little swaying, and then entered the community before us.

Looking at her back, my mind was more completely pulled back to the old time when the old alley was still alive.

Yes, with Chen Yi, the old alley that no longer exists is complete...... Because, in addition to me, Zhao Mu and Zhao Chu, she is also a frequent guest at our dinner table, and she also ran with us in the wind in that old alley...... Behind us are those times that have passed before they have time to look back...... Just like we are now!
