Chapter 457: Confide in your heart

Xiao Ai and I took a taxi back to the hotel, and then went to the 7th floor where we lived, and the moment she took out her room card, I grabbed her arm and said to her, "You better live in another hotel...... Or, go back to Nanjing now, this Cao Yang and Zhao Zhongming are not good stubble, I don't think they have finished thinking about this matter at all......"

Xiao Ai turned to look at me, her voice was low: "Since I decided to enter this circle, I know how difficult my path is, I can hide this time, but next time something similar will happen, I always have to find a solution, don't I?" ”

I was a little speechless, and she took my hand off her arm at this point and opened the door with her keycard. As she was about to go inside, I grabbed her arm again. I stared at her for a long time, and all kinds of feelings welled up in my heart, and then I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart, and asked her in a trembling voice, "Do you remember what you used to look like?" …… It's only been two years, so why has it changed so much? …… I can understand your current situation, but I don't understand why a girl who loved freedom so much in the past has become so imprisoned, cold, and old-fashioned...... I can't remember what you laughed like, and I can't equate the girl I met for the first time with you...... You just took possession of her body and threw away all her good things. ”

She looked at me for a long time before replying: "My biggest pain for you is probably that I haven't changed, but I have changed, and I can never change back to the Xiao Ai you knew at the beginning...... I'm in pain, too, but I just can't go back...... Because in these two years, I have lost so many people, too many! ”

I spoke louder: "Is there a causal relationship between this?" ”

Xiao Ai said with a bitter expression: "Jiangqiao, we are taking a diametrically opposite path, when we first met, I was Xiao Mingquan's daughter, a woman who was loved by thousands of people, and you are just a small employee in a third-rate company, but I am willing to give you all the love I can give, but I have never deliberately thought about why I am so uncomplaining and regretless...... Later, my dad went to jail and everything about me became unrecognizable overnight...... Before I left Nanjing and left you, even a disabled person who couldn't even see with my eyes, my life fell to the bottom helplessly; However, you are different, now, your mother is back, she has an extra sister, and her career is getting better and better...... Our lives have never been on a horizontal line, and the intersection of that year is more like a mistake...... However, I am really happy for you in my heart, because you are no longer the lonely and helpless Jiangqiao you once was, and your future will only get better and better...... So, go and marry Jin Qiu, she is the most desired woman in your life...... And I'm ...... There's no need to be too painful, everything will pass anyway. Perhaps, there will be a different life and a different person in my life in the future...... I'm sure it'll all be fine. ”

With that, she finally pursed her lips and smiled at me......

I felt like crying...... I also want to see her who would lift her leg on my shoulder when she was arguing with me, and miss her who would sit on the courtyard wall of the old house and drink beer when she was happy...... But calm down and think about it, everything really can't go back! We have all lost the innocence and beauty of the beginning, repeatedly compromised in life, and repeatedly did things we didn't like; None of us can live as willfully as we did at the beginning, impulsively, thinking that instant noodles and corn cob heads are enough to live for a lifetime. But the truth is, since we separated, our pursuit has become more than that...... But whether this is gained or lost, I can't tell at all!

I didn't let go of her arm, took a hard breath, and said to her: "Come back to Nanjing with me, be an independent musician, I can help you form a team, help you find the best agent, let's take a more stable road, okay...... Now this way of becoming famous, sooner or later you will be lost. ”

Xiao Ai shook her head, but the smile on her face seemed to come from the heart, and she replied: "Jiang Qiao, it's been two years, you don't care about my past, you still care about me and treat me as before, I'm really satisfied, because I feel that I didn't love the wrong person at the beginning...... However, if you still want to keep this ambiguous relationship, to Jin Qiu, you are a scumbag...... The eyes of the world will not tolerate you! ”

Her words made the strength in my hand gradually fade, and finally she lowered her arm, and she closed the door in the next moment, completely separating us with a cold cement stone wall.

I looked at the time, it happened to be half past ten, and all the hard nights started at this point in time, and the golden autumn at this moment was about the 8th floor. At the end of the day, it's the human heart that is more distinct than a hotel room, and each of us can get close to each other without ever figuring out what the other person is thinking...... And in the end, it must be yourself who can die on your behalf, which is the most lonely thing!

……

After returning to my room, I called Jin Qiu, but she told me that she and Master Ge were waiting for me in the tea restaurant of the hotel, I didn't quite believe my ears, so I asked again to make sure that she was in the tea restaurant of the hotel where we were staying at the moment, and Master Ge did not leave.

I hurriedly put on my coat and rushed to the third floor as fast as I could. At this moment, there were still some people eating supper in the restaurant, and Jin Qiu and Chef Ge were sitting in a corner to the north.

I came to them and apologized again and again, but Jin Qiu and Master Ge didn't mind my departure halfway, they said that they should use this time to catch up, because they don't usually have the opportunity to meet.

I sat down next to Jin Qiu, who had rarely taken a lady's cigarette from her cigarette case and lit it since she quit smoking. I know that she actually minds in her heart, and she probably knows what I have done during the time I left, but she doesn't want to say it in front of Master Ge, instead of waiting for me to come back, I'm afraid that because she came to Beijing only one day today, so this matter must be negotiated today.

After taking a puff of her cigarette, she said to me: "Jiangqiao, Master Ge's situation, I would like to add that his current engineering team is capable of contracting the landscape construction project, because he has done several such projects before." I probably told Master Ge about the situation on your side, you can talk to him again, and if you are really sincere, take Master Ge and his engineering team back to Nanjing. ”

I nodded, and then said to Master Ge: "I heard Jin Qiu say that you are from Suqian, and you are not far from Nanjing. If we go out of the province, we are still fellow countrymen. When I say this, I don't want to get close to you, but I just want to do a win-win thing...... I hope that your engineering team can enter my company, and it will definitely be based on local projects in Jiangsu Province in the future, I need your engineering team very much, and it will be more convenient for you to go home in the future......" I smiled at this, and then said: "I really think that in the days of doing North Drift in Beijing, there may not be a return to Nanjing to be at ease...... I can't guarantee more, but in my case, there will never be a situation where you can't get the money, and the project will not be broken, and if there is a loss, all of them will be borne by the company, so that your personal risk is much smaller......"

Master Ge smiled after hearing this, and he replied: "Xiao Jiang, you don't have to tell me so much, I and those guys are willing to believe in Jin Qiu unconditionally, you are the person she fancies, so we are absolutely assured!" ”

I answered, and then looked at Jin Qiu, who put out the cigarette that had only taken a few puffs in the ashtray, and said to Master Ge and me with a smile: "Since both of you are willing to cooperate, then we will reach a verbal agreement on this matter...... Jiangqiao, it's up to you next, I hope you can win the project of Jiangjian Group in Tianjin, and give you a good start to the cooperation with Master Ge. ”

"Well, with Master Ge's engineering team, I have more confidence in winning the project!"

……

Late at night, Jin Qiu and I dropped Master Ge outside the hotel until he got into a taxi and we were still standing in the parking lot. After a while, Jin Qiu whispered to me: "Jiangqiao, Master Ge and his fellow villagers are honest and reliable people, I hope you can take their joining as a spur and responsibility, don't just use them as a tool to make money, you have to make them develop better than when they were in Beijing, so as to live up to their trust in us!" ”

"I understand, this time when I go back to Nanjing, I will formulate a reasonable profit distribution plan for them, and I will definitely not let them suffer."

Jin Qiu nodded, then looked at my neck and asked, "What's the problem with the neck injury?" ”

"There's a little accident, and I can handle it myself."

"Is it for Xiao Ai?"

I replied with silence, and then I was in the mood for a cigarette, and I took a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it in my mouth. Gradually, I felt that the wind was warm in the late spring, but the stars in the sky looked cold...... Just like this life, some people feel bright, others feel dark, everything is opposite.

Jin Qiu smiled, and then put her hands in her pants pockets, looking a little cool, and even cooler than her appearance was probably her heart that no one could approach.

She said to me again: "I know you can't let go of her in your heart, and her current situation is not good, but have you ever wondered who caused all this? …… If it weren't for the fire two years ago, I'm afraid you would be married now, and even have children, but just using a fire to explain everything seems too far-fetched! ”

I stared at her for a long time before replying, "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Jin Qiu didn't reply to me directly, but asked me: "Jiang Qiao, do you want to marry me from the heart?" Or do you just feel that you are old enough to get married, and I am a good marriage partner, it doesn't matter at all whether you love it or not. ”

"I remember we talked about it, and I gave you the answer."

Jin Qiu thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, "I'm sorry, I forgot...... By the way, I have one more thing to tell you. Your mom called me and asked me to take the time to go to Shenzhen with you and meet your family who have never met before. ”

I wasn't surprised, I asked Jin Qiu, "What do you mean, do you think it's necessary to make this trip?" ”

"Well, I think it's necessary to have some closer relationships with that side...... Otherwise, no matter what you do, you will seem a little alone. If they really decide to accept you as a family, you should let go of some of your worries......" After a pause, she added, "I heard that you got into a big trouble tonight. ”

I suddenly became alert: "Who are you listening to?" ”

Jin Qiu looked at me with a complicated gaze, and only replied after a long time: "I think people with a bit of analytical ability also know who called you when you were eating. So, I asked Yu Xin, and then figured out the ins and outs of the matter...... But Jiang Qiao, I also want to ask you, if it weren't for the big tree of Aunt Yang behind you, would you have the confidence to do this tonight? …… Note that I'm talking about confidence, not courage. ”
