Speaking of Yang Jin, I am not as repulsive as I was a long time ago, and even in the past four months, when she occasionally came to Shanghai on a business trip, I would still have a meal with Yang Qu with her, but I never said "Mom" from beginning to end.

I am very conflicted, but there are some things in my heart that cannot be easily forgiven after all, although I know that the person I should hate more is Jiang Jiyou. But after he left Nanjing when I was eight years old, it was as if he had evaporated from the world, and he was never heard from again.

I was a little distracted, Yang Qu shook his hand in front of my eyes, and then chased and asked, "Brother, I will give you a gift on behalf of our mother, you won't turn your face, right?" ”

"What gift?"

Maybe it's because I'm not smiling, Yang Qu nervously explained: "Actually, I asked for this gift for you and our mother...... Don't blame me for making it my own mind, I just really think you need it...... And ......"

"And what?"

Yang Qu looked nervous after being oppressed by me, and she stammered back: "Moreover, we are two brothers and sisters, I don't think our mother can favor one over the other, these years...... I asked for too many things from her to count, so I ...... That's what I mean, you'll understand. ”

I still looked at her with a cold face, and said for a while, "What kind of gift?" Take it out and take a look. ”

Yang Qu hurriedly took out a document bag from his bag, and then said cautiously: "This is a car purchase contract, as well as the car key, you can go directly to the 4S store tomorrow to pick it up." ”

"Maybach?"

Yang Qu waved his hand again and again, and then replied: "It's not so exaggerated, it's not so exaggerated!" It's a pretty ordinary Mercedes-Benz GLC260, which is still domestic...... I think this car is very good, unassuming, and in line with your current status...... You'll love it for sure. ”

"How do you know if I like it or not?"

"I saw you looked up the configuration of this car on your phone."

Seeing Yang Qu's confident appearance, I suddenly had nothing to say. In fact, looking at cars on some car forums is one of my hobbies, and the dream I used to talk about the most with Zhao Chu was to have a good car...... We used to fantasize very seriously together, and drove it to the ends of the world with our best brothers. Zhao Chu also said that we are destined to be men like the wind.

At this time, there was a warm feeling from the corner of my eyes, and I remembered Zhao Chu's thin appearance when he said these words, but he had a cigarette in his hand, as if to tell me: You and Zhao Mu boldly go forward, and I Zhao Chu will give you the top behind, the money will be there, and the car will be there for a while......

However, he said "goodbye" to this world earlier than me and Zhao Mu, and maybe even God doesn't know how much I miss him as a brother at this moment.

I thought about it so much, but I still didn't take the document bag from Yang Qu's hand, so Yang Qu handed the document bag to Jin Qiu's hand again, trying to convince Jin Qiu.

Jin Qiu said to me: "Take it, no one will think that you have received a favor from anyone, what you should do next is to forget about the unpleasant things in the past and live a new life." In this life, you will no longer feel inferior and think that you are a poor person, and your life will revolve around many things that you like...... You should not be paranoid that these are so-called compensations, because they are all things you deserve...... This world is inherently unequal, just like Qiao Ye is rich, Zhao Mu is extremely smart, and Xiao Ai is naturally beautiful......"

I finally smiled and replied, "And me, am I the time to run?" ”

"In my understanding, time is not a derogatory term, and it's time for you to change your thinking and say goodbye to the past, have you forgotten what your grandmother once expected of you? …… We all know that she wants you to have an easy and happy life. When you are busy, you are fulfilled by work; In your free time, enjoy your travels. In short, you won't have so many burdens in your life anymore. Perhaps, you will gradually discover that love is not everything in life, and you will discover more interesting people and things because you have a good mood...... So don't really put too much pressure on yourself, and don't set up a prison cage for life, okay? ”

After Jin Qiu said this, she looked at me, and she tentatively handed the file bag containing the car keys in front of me, and at this moment in her hands was not only a low-hanging car, but also a new life, enough to make all the people who are struggling in ordinary life envious.

I almost took it from her hands, but in the end I lowered my hands, then smiled and said to her: "The life you are talking about is what I yearn for very much, and having an entry-level luxury car will indeed make life look very glorious." But I hope to get these through my own efforts, because I am not Qiao Ye, he can accept everything that his family gives him as a matter of course, because he grew up with his parents since he was a child, so he will naturally feel in his heart that his parents are his own...... But I can't do that. ”

Jin Qiu looked at me, Yang Qu wanted to say something, but she shook her head at Yang Qu and said, "When it comes to this, he refuses to accept it, so there is no need for us to persuade it anymore...... Hehe, happiness is actually quite real, and what you can get by yourself will definitely be given by others for nothing to be more valuable, your brother is a firm non-taker. ”

Yang Qu took back the document bag from Jin Qiu's hand in a puff, and then replied: "He doesn't want it, I want it...... Anyway, it's my mother's thing, don't be in vain. ”

Jin Qiu just smiled, she didn't say anything more, and she knew that this was the difference between me and Yang Qu. Yang Qu can enjoy everything Yang Jin has unscrupulously, and I sometimes can't even believe that I really am her son. Twenty years of separation, resulting in emotional rustiness, really can't be changed overnight!

But I am grateful to Yang Qu and Jin Qiu for all that they have done for me, and they have driven out my worst feared enemies for me. I think that if I can live in the second and fourth lanes of this hexagonal well tonight, I will definitely not feel lonely again, let alone lose sleep!

……

After Jin Qiu and Yang Qu left, I began to clean up the house, and then I was ready to let go of all the burdens in my heart and sleep well.

Originally, I asked Zhao Mu and Qiao Ye and others to play escape room together, but Qiao Ye was in Hangzhou, and Zhao Mu went to Japan, so I couldn't organize it, but I don't think it's a pity, because there are no empty people in our circle, everyone is busy for their careers or love, and no one is wasting their time like before.

While I was washing, I received a call from Zhao Mu. He told me that he had flown back to Nanjing from Japan and couldn't wait to meet me tomorrow, so he planned to come and talk to me tonight.

I think so, we haven't seen each other for almost five months, so there's no shortage of things to say.

When I was done, I gave up the idea of going to sleep, and tidied up the yard again, and I used brute force to move the stone table and the stone benches under the osmanthus tree, which was the layout of the old house. All in all, I love this place more and more!

An hour later, Zhao Mu came to Lane 24 according to the positioning I gave him. He, like me, had a surprised look on his face when he first entered the courtyard. I put my arm around his shoulder, scanned the courtyard with him, and said, "You're here today, it's the right time...... This place was found by the Golden Autumn and their great efforts...... You sit down for a while, and I'll go inside and make a pot of hot tea. ”

I said and entered the house, then took the water and boiled it in a fast kettle, and Zhao Mu walked around the courtyard again, and then sat down on the stone bench.

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, it was freezing outside, but Zhao Mu and I still chose to sit in the yard. Perhaps, none of us are too fond of chatting in a closed environment.

I handed Zhao Mu a cup of tea, and after he took a sip, I asked him: "You have had a lot more opportunities to travel abroad recently than before, have you received the attention of the group's senior management again?" ”

Zhao Mu smiled and replied, "I am already a senior member of the group now...... And it's also the core high-level! This happened about half a month ago. I've been waiting for you to go back to Nanjing, because I want to tell you in person, so I got off the plane and came directly. ”

I looked at Zhao Mu a little incredulously, and then asked again: "Before congratulating you, I still want to know what happened during this time, your climbing speed is too incredible!" ”

Zhao Mu replied calmly: "Maybe I'm lucky, in the past few months since I came back, I led a small team to solve the technical problems that the group and even the industry have not been able to overcome perfectly, and created tens of millions of profits for the group at one time, so I regained the trust of Li Zishan and Mr. Li, and it was she who advocated the board of directors to let me enter the core management." ”

Although I felt very uncomfortable hearing the name Li Zishan, I was still a person who knew things clearly, because Zhao Mu climbed up by relying on his real talents, and "Jinding Real Estate" was not her Li Zishan alone. However, she can make good use of Zhao Mu, which also shows that she is not a woman who is useless except for scheming, she has management ability, but the more this is the case, the greater the challenge that Mr. Xiao will encounter when he is released from prison in the future.

Because, in the next few years, she will definitely be crazy about cultivating weighty cronies in the group, especially Zhao Mu, a talent who masters the technical lifeline of the group, is the object of her focus.

Perhaps, when the day really comes when we must meet each other, Zhao Mu will become a key figure. I don't know why, but I still selfishly don't want him to get involved in this fight, because he has enough now.

I can imagine what kind of treatment he is enjoying as the core senior management of "Jinding Real Estate". I'm already very happy for him.

Next, Zhao Mu chatted with me about Yu Xin and the thriving "dream tree". By the time we had finished talking, it was 12 o'clock in the evening.

Before leaving, Zhao Mu put a Mercedes-Benz 200 car key in front of me, he smiled and said to me: "Brother Qiao, I know that these things outside the body are quite cheesy, and you may not be able to see it now, but I can't repay the kindness for so many years." A few days ago, I happened to talk to Sister Jin Qiu about you, and I knew that you didn't have a car until now, so I bought this car on my own initiative...... It's a belated birthday present. ”
