Chapter 229: Joy in Suffering
When I separated from Xiao Ai, night had already fallen on the city, in order to be able to solve this troublesome matter, I took a taxi to Qin Miao's villa, I wanted to see how Qiao Ye lived this day.
After nearly half an hour of driving, the car came to the villa area where Qin Miao's family fell at the foot of the Purple Mountain, but the mood of this time is very different from the previous times, I don't need to be sneaky, but Qiao Ye is also heartbroken, I can't figure it out that I came in the light, but I may not be able to see him.
When I came to the door, I didn't go in immediately, but habitually looked inside, Qiao Ye and his father's Daben were not there, but Qin Miao's Porsche was there.
I finally rang the doorbell, or the last time the nanny aunt opened the door for me, I asked her, "Is Qin Miao at home?" ”
"Sitting in the living room watching TV."
I lowered my voice again and asked her, "What about Qiao Ye?" ”
"Him! …… I've been locked in my room for a day, not eating or drinking...... Persuade him quickly. ”
I sighed, a few days ago I was a person who desperately wanted to be free, but today I closed myself off, and the world has changed so quickly that even I, who has been involved in it, have not had time to adapt to the change in the relationship between the characters.
……
Entering the living room, I sat down next to Qin Miao, then looked at her belly, and said to her, "I really want to know what mood you are in now?" ”
"I'm not in the mood, the wind is blowing, it's time for the waves to stop, right? …… I just want to wait for a good life. ”
I asked her again, "You didn't go to the company today?" ”
"I didn't go, I kept guarding him at home...... Did you come to see him too? Qin Miao said and looked at Qiao Ye's room.
"I guess I stopped by to see him, actually...... I'm asking you for a favor. ”
"What's the matter?"
"It's not easy to do, or I wouldn't have come to you."
"You say."
I glanced at Qin Miao, and then said to her with a more complicated feeling: "I made a piano shop with my friend, but the formalities from the Education Bureau couldn't be approved. This afternoon, we also asked the relationship to do this, but the reply was that someone targeted us and deliberately stumbled us in this link! ”
Qin Miao sat up straight, frowned and asked, "There is such a thing?" ”
"Isn't that it, can you handle it?"
Qin Miao thought for a moment, and she said, "It's not a big problem...... However, shouldn't you go to Chen Yi to help with this? His dad is the office director over there, and this is a small thing he can handle with a single sentence? ”
I lowered my head, and my heart was full of tastes, and I replied after a long time: "What are you going to trouble Chen Yi for?" …… I owe her enough in my life! ”
"Why, listen to what you mean, these favors are going to be delayed until the next life?"
"Qin Miao, can we not joke? I really feel cornered about this, and I don't know who's behind me! ”
"Okay, I'll accompany you to the Education Bureau tomorrow morning, you don't have to be too upset, I'll give you an accurate word now, no matter who is behind you, I'll find a way to help you do it."
I looked at Qin Miao, and a stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. Because I know there's not much she can't do in this city. Therefore, this is also the reason why Qiao Ye's parents are willing to kill Su Han and disagree with Qiao Ye's divorce from her.
Although Qin Miao is still a low-key person, because we are more familiar friends around her, we still know the situation of her family very well, and her father is not the only one who holds important positions in the government.
……
After chatting about this matter, Qin Miao and I stood at the door of Qiao Ye's room together. I knocked on the door and shouted to him inside, "Brother in the room, come out for dinner, why bother with yourself so much?" ”
Qiao Ye inside was silent, I glanced at Qin Miao beside me, and she whispered to me: "Forget it, let him be alone for a while, the only thing I can give him now is such a pitiful space." ”
"Why do you say that you seem to owe him?"
"I don't owe him, it's my parents-in-law who owe him, but since I regard this place as my home and a member of this family, then I also have to bear part of the responsibility for this debt.
I nodded, and I didn't express too many opinions after all, because whether it was Su Han or Qin Miao, they should all be considered good women, at least they all treated Qiao Ye with sincerity, and it was very undesirable for me to deliberately identify with anyone or belittle anyone.
……
When I returned to the small courtyard where I lived, it was already night, and I didn't expect Xiao Ai to sit at my door and wait. When she saw me coming back, she immediately stood up, as if she was looking forward to the result after I went to find Qin Miao.
Sure enough, as soon as we met, she asked me, "How's it going?" ”
"Tomorrow, Qin Miao will personally go to the Education Bureau with me, and you can rest assured that she has such an answer."
Xiao Ai's expression relaxed slightly, and then he asked me again, "Jiang Qiao, who do you think is targeting us?" …… Even if we can pass the approval of the Education Bureau this time, there will be similar things in the future...... This makes people feel no way to settle down. ”
I looked at Xiao Ai and didn't know how to answer for a while, because I couldn't tell who this person was, whether it was Xiao Ai or me.
I think Li Zishan has a great possibility, because Xiao Ai is a big trouble for her, and she is the one who doesn't want Xiao Ai to stay in Nanjing.
Of course, it is also possible for Lao Jin, who has always been very disapproving of me to make this piano shop.
Or, there are other unexpected people, in short, this behavior is extremely offensive no matter who it is.
After a period of silence, I finally said to Xiao Ai: "No matter who the other party is, we have to adjust our mentality first, anyway, I won't give up this piano shop anyway." ”
"I'm not going to give up."
Looking at Xiao Ai's resolute appearance, I had a very down-to-earth feeling in my heart, and then smiled and said to her: "If one day we become stars in the education industry and are invited to do talk shows, let's pick this experience and say, isn't it particularly tear-jerking?" ”
"Well, it doesn't feel good, but we can have fun in the bitterness."
"So?"
"So let's eat something first, and then we'll take a walk."
……
Late at night, Tulip Road fell silent again, Xiao Ai and I came to the familiar "Wutong Hotel", and until this time, we didn't care about having dinner, so we ordered two dishes and one soup.
During the meal, I always subconsciously look at her, because I cherish this time, I have never tried to do business so seriously with a woman, so I no longer have such a strong sense of loneliness.
For the first time, I felt a strong sense of antagonism towards some people in this world, and I didn't allow anyone to ruin this hard-won time, and I didn't want to go back to the dark past.
Although Xiao Ai and I still maintain a sense of distance beyond lovers, our hearts are tightly bound together because of the same goal.
I don't dare to imagine what kind of pain I would suffer if one day, Xiao Ai and I had worked so hard to manage this qiē collapsed, or if she left like Su Han in a way that would never come back!
The night deepened, and Xiao Ai and I walked side by side on Tulip East Road. Along the way, we all made jokes that we had saved for more than ten years into jokes and told each other, so the laughter never stopped......
Before we knew it, we walked to the abandoned textile factory again, and we stopped together very tacitly, and then I lit a cigarette, and Xiao Ai leaned on the iron door and looked inside.
At this time, it was already late spring and early summer, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, which blocked part of our view, so Xiao Ai stood on tiptoe and looked farther away.
I knew she wanted to see the old Liberation truck.
Ignoring the slight pain in my ankle, I squatted on the ground and said to her, "Ride on my shoulders and look far away!" ”
"No, it's too intimate, I'm a little embarrassed!"
"Actually, I'm embarrassed, but there are some things that I have to try...... Like yesterday, I accidentally broke into your room, don't you think that's a good start? ”
"You still have a face!"
I smiled cheekily, and then motioned for Xiao Ai to come up, she didn't squirm too much, and the next moment she sat on my shoulder, and as soon as I exerted force under my feet, I stood up straight.
I don't know what kind of picture Xiao Ai saw at this moment, but my heart gradually opened up, and I faintly saw the old liberation truck parked in the weeds......
Feeling the temperature and weight of Xiao Ai, a picture came to my mind. In this picture, I saw the young Jiang Jiyou and Yang Jin, who seemed to have a period of happiness in this textile factory.
However, when I wanted to see this love-hate relationship clearly, their figures gradually blurred.
The textile mill is still an overgrown textile mill, and there are high-rise buildings, asphalt roads, and flashing lights on Tulip Road!
The only thing that hasn't changed is the tall plane trees on the side of the road.
I finally took my own steps, Xiao Ai sat on my shoulder, and we walked quietly into the distance along a trajectory that could not be discerned whether it was the past or the present......
