Invite Wang Lu to sit on the sofa, Tang Yi helped her pour a cup of hot water, put the cup down, Wang Lu's eyes naturally followed the cup and fell on the coffee table, and then saw the yellowish photo on the coffee table, Wang Lu's face suddenly became pale, his body trembled slightly, and he looked up, but saw Tang Yi's smiling eyes staring at him.

Tang Yi immediately retracted his gaze, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, without speaking.

Wang Lu smiled reluctantly, "Mayor Tang, do you have something to do with me?" Unconsciously twisted her hands together, it could be seen that she was trying to hide her uneasiness.

Tang Yi nodded and said, "I was recently helping a friend find his long-lost mother, and I want to ask Mr. Wang for help." ”

"Really? How can I help? Wang Lu's eyes avoided Tang Yi's gaze in a panic, and the elegance of the past was gone.

Tang Yi said with a smile: "I heard that my friend's mother came to the Yellow Sea, and with Mr. Wang's connections in the Yellow Sea, it is not difficult to find out her." ”

Wang Lu shook his head and said, "Mayor Tang said that I was laughing, I am just a businessman......"

"My friend's name is Ye Xiaolu!" Tang Yi interrupted Wang Lu's words very suddenly.

There was silence in the living room, only Wang Lu's heavy gasps.

Tang Yi sighed softly, took out a cigarette, and lit one.

Wang Lu stretched out her trembling hand and picked up the cup to drink, but the water in the cup spilled out, and the elegant purple scarf was wet, but she didn't notice it.

Tang Yi didn't force her, just smoked silently.

Finally, Wang Lu put down the cup and asked with a pale face, "Mayor Tang, what do you want?" I promise you, as long as you don't hurt Xiaolu, I think, do you want this NPC to pass with a high vote, right? I promised you that I would go and canvass for you, but you also know that although I know many people, it doesn't mean that I can influence them, and I can only do my best. ”

Then he said in a panic: "But, but I can guarantee that I can help you get the majority of the tickets in Lubei District." ”

Tang Yi smiled, "Lubei District? This is a surprising piece of information, as it seems that Wang Lu has a close relationship with the party and government leaders in Lubei District, and it is even enough to influence their decisions on some major issues.

Wang Lu's face turned pale again, knowing that he had missed his mouth, he glanced at Tang Yi, slowly lowered his head, and said, "Yes, as long as you don't hurt Xiaolu, I can help you get a ticket for Lubei District." ”

Tang Yi smiled, "It seems that you love Ye Xiaolu very much, the strange thing is that why haven't you said to go to see her for so many years?" Of course, this is your **, you don't have to tell me. ”

Wang Lu showed a miserable smile, "What can't be said, yes, I can't go to see her, first, my identity is fake, the relationship between moving around, settling in the Yellow Sea as a mountain folk in the northwest, this, you should check it very clearly, if it is exposed, not only will it affect many people, but I will also be ruined immediately." ”

Tang Yi smiled and said, "I didn't check this, the northwest is too far away, and I don't have time for the time being." ”

Wang Lu thought he was sneering, but he didn't care, and continued: "Second, yes, I am ambitious, the children of the Zhao family are now very unaccustomed to me, if they know that I have a daughter, they must think that I will fight with them for family property, and there are many stories about Xiao Wall, right?" So, I want to wait until everything is arranged, and then I will recognize Xiaolu, all these years, do you think I don't want her? Saying that, her eyes were red, she had held these words in her heart for a long time, and she couldn't tell anyone, but she didn't want to be found out by Tang Yi, in the face of this terrible mayor, she was desperate to confide in, and her heart was inexplicably relaxed.

Tang Yi nodded, "Wang Lu, Wang Lu, that is to separate Ye Xiaolu's Lu characters, it seems that you really miss your daughter." ”

The words have been clarified, and Tang Yi clearly "threatened" her, Wang Lusuo opened the words, stared at Tang Yi and said: "Mayor Tang, now my big handle is in your hands, then let's make a deal, as long as you help me win the battle for control of Huatian Group, I will fully support your governance in the Yellow Sea, as you know, in the political and business circles of the Yellow Sea, I still have some connections, and I can help you more or less." ”

Tang Yi scratched his head, he really couldn't imagine that the first conversation with Xiaolu's mother would be such an atmosphere and such content.

"Mayor Tang, what do you think?" Wang Lu looked at Tang Yi expectantly.

Tang Yi hesitated, glanced at Wang Lu, and said, "Actually, you misunderstood, Xiaolu and I are good friends, and I didn't mean anything else when I saw you this time." ”

Wang Lu was obviously stunned for a moment, hearing Tang Yi call Ye Xiaolu Xiaolu, she was even more suspicious, ordinary friends are called Xiaolu Yezi, although she has not been in contact with Ye Xiaolu over the years, but how can she not care about her daughter's recent situation?

Tang Yi said again: "Actually, now Ye Zi's life is very good, and his career is successful, why do you have to fight with the Zhao family, Auntie?" What Xiaolu needs is maternal love, plain family affection, not the net worth of a billionaire. ”

Wang Lu smiled miserably and said, "Billionaire? Huatian Hotel looks beautiful, in fact, a few years ago, I was in debt, and in the past two years, I have gradually been on track, and the children of the Zhao family are trying to get rid of me in every possible way, I just want to get back what I deserve. ”

Tang Yi sighed, knowing that this kind of thing can't be solved by a few words of persuasion by himself, everyone has their own goals, and as for whether it's worth it or not, it's not something that outsiders can judge.

Wang Lu looked at Tang Yi and asked hesitantly, "You are very familiar with Xiaolu?" Hearing the mayor with a deep and unpredictable impression call her aunt, Wang Lu felt weird, but it confirmed some of her thoughts.

Tang Yi nodded, a little embarrassed.

Wang Lu did not relax, and asked cautiously: "Then, how familiar is that?" "Caring for her daughter has made her have no basis for communicating with people.

Tang Yi was even more embarrassed, didn't make a sound, and picked up the teacup to drink.

Wang Lu nodded silently and leaned back on the sofa, not knowing what it was like in her heart.

For a long time, neither of them spoke.

"Mayor Tang, I hope you don't tell Xiaolu my identity for the time being." Wang Lu finally broke the silence.

Tang Yi shook his head, "There are some things that have to be faced, can't Auntie fight for the Zhao family's property, so she will never see Xiaolu?" There are some things that it is best to make it clear to Xiaolu in person, of course, I respect your decision, but I hope you can arrange it as soon as possible and meet Xiaolu. ”

Wang Lu nodded slightly, and glanced at Tang Yi gratefully, in fact, although she felt a little uncomfortable about the relationship between her daughter and the young man in front of her, she was not too resistant, after all, she had faintly heard of Tang Yi's back, as long as Tang Yi was really good to her daughter, in addition to her name, her daughter could get everything she wanted, and she must get married, right? It's as if herself, the first husband, the second husband, the marriage has brought her almost endless injuries and battles.

For her daughter to be able to move Tang Yi's heart, Wang Lu instead raised some complacent, her daughter is a hundred times stronger than herself, and the usually deep and somewhat terrible mayor suddenly became a gentle and lovely, hoping to get his own approval of the young man, although Tang Yi did not say it explicitly, but Wang Lu can feel that this kind of change is even more surprising and fresh than she can say, it is like a dream, the power struggle with the children of the Zhao family has become more and more fierce recently, Wang Lu is really a little tired, and inexplicably has a big backer, Wang Lu was more excited.

"Mayor Tang, then it's decided, in the end, I hope you can take good care of Xiaolu." Wang Lu stood up, she understood that it was too much, not to mention the inexplicable change in her relationship with Mayor Tang, she also needed to go back and think about it carefully, whether it was Xiaolu's future or her struggle in Huatian Group, she had to re-evaluate the layout.

Tang Yi hurriedly stood up, sent her out, and when she arrived at the porch, she was even more embarrassed when she saw Wang Lu looking herself up and down with a smile, and she really couldn't figure out how Wang Lu had such an attitude towards herself and Xiaolu's affairs, and she had a feeling of being happy to see it.

Seeing Wang Lu go away, Tang Yi returned to the living room, and then smiled, people's thoughts are really different.

Leaning on the sofa, pondering a series of changes that the change in the relationship with Wang Lu will bring, the music on the mobile phone suddenly rang dripping, Tang Yi looked at the number, picked it up with a smile, and Qi Jie's soft voice came, "Husband, are you tired?" ”

Tang Yi smiled slightly: "I won't be tired when I hear your voice." ”

Qi Jiejiao smiled: "Do I have such a great charm? ”

"Yes, yes." Tang Yi slowly leaned back on the sofa, enjoying a rare relaxation.

Qi Jie chuckled and said, "Husband, I'll cheer you on, the vote the day after tomorrow, I buy you to win, do you want to gamble?" ”

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Do you want me to buy and lose?" You want to be beautiful. ”

"It's a good attitude, giggles, I wanted to help you relax, but ah, let me tell you something, make sure you have a good time."

Tang Yien sighed, slowly closed his eyes, and saw Qi Jie's beautiful figure in front of him.

"Yun'er is with me, I'm going to take her to the Wang family, the Li family, and the Xie family."

Tang Yi was a little helpless, on the New Year's Day holiday, the volunteer team of Huanghai University was invited by Huayi Group to Hong Kong to listen to the lecture.

The Wang family, the Li family, and the Xie family are all wealthy families in Hong Kong, but Qi Jie naturally did not take Yun'er to contact the upper class, and Tang Yi understood Qi Jie's mind very well, these three families are not only wealthy families, but also polygamous realities, not the kind of mistresses, and the relationship officially recognized by Hong Kong political axe.

Monogamy was only introduced in Hong Kong in the 70s, and before the law came into effect, all marriages (old-style marriages) that had been established under the traditional Three Books and Six Rites, including concubinage, were recognised by the government.

It's just that this kind of polygamy exists, whether it is the political axe in Hong Kong or the media, they deliberately do not touch it, in fact, some prominent families in Hong Kong, and even middle-class families before the 70s, also have the phenomenon of polygamy.

As for the wealthy families mentioned by Qi Jie, the wives and concubines get along very well, and they are really talked about by the upper class.

In fact, what about some of the founding leaders? It's because grandpa is not so strict about his private life.

Tang Yi sighed softly, knowing that Qi Jie's vision has been extremely broad-minded over the years, and after seeing the secret life of some wealthy families in Hong Kong, she was shocked a lot, and the biggest touch that may have brought her is that the kind of resistance in her subconscious before has gradually faded, after all, the education and social environment she has received since childhood, love, monogamy is deeply rooted in her heart, no matter how willing she is to be her lover, she is always ashamed of her own identity, but when she sees those wealthy families with harmonious wives and concubines, Qi Jie accepted her identity more and more calmly.

Qi Jie over there smiled again: "But I see, I thought wrong, Yun'er really doesn't need me to re-educate her, I have tricked her, this stupid girl, she won't care how many women you have." ”

Tang Yi said helplessly: "Don't mess around, you are driving history backwards." ”

Qi Jie chuckled: "Anyway, it's good that you're happy, what's the matter, I took your little lover to be educated, aren't you happy?" ”

Tang Yi has not been hypocritical until now, and he is still cheeky and reasonable, but he still sneered: "Actually, I have nothing to do with Yun'er, and I haven't thought about anything to happen to her." ”

Qi Jie smiled playfully: "Who knows what will happen in the future?" Husband, I know you should have other lovers, tell me about it, I will meet them and take them to get educated. ”

Tang Yi held back for a long time, and finally held back the sentence: "This, I won't trouble you." ”

Qi Jie chuckled, "Finally admit it, don't you?" ”

Tang Yi scratched his head and said, "Whether it's admitting it or covering it up, Qi Jie, I really feel weird about you like this." The wives and concubines you mentioned living together were formed under a special historical environment, and there is no comparable surname with our relationship. ”

Qi Jie sighed, "Silly husband, of course I know this, do you think I want to enter the big house and fight for my identity?" ”

Tang Yi said: "You know I didn't mean that. ”

Qi Jie was silent for a while, and said, "Anyway, if you are happy in the future, we will all be happy, okay?" ”

Tang Yi sighed softly, "You, you're getting more and more stupid." ”

Qi Jie chuckled and said, "Who said that?" Husband, among your lovers, I am the first one who can't be shaken, you know? You have to dare to favor one over the other, see how I give you a headache! ”

Tang Yi felt guilty in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.

Qi Jie said again: "Hurry up, tell me your lover's name and identity, if you don't say it, I'll beg our mother to check and tell you, I'm serious!" ”

Tang Yi said helplessly: "I really can't say it." ”

Qi Jie smiled and said, "You really don't say it?" ”

Tang Yi shook his head and said, "Don't say it!" You know, I really can't say it. He sighed softly.

"Okay, I'll think about it." I also wanted to get Qi Jie's charming big eyes blinking and thinking of some kind of ghost idea, and then Qi Jie chuckled, "Yes, if you don't say it, I'll take Yun'er to see our mother, and then tell her about your lover outside, at that time, I will cry aggrieved, and you will be responsible for the consequences." ”

Seeing that Tang Yi didn't speak, Qi Jie said again: "Husband, don't worry, I won't go to see them recklessly, but what you often say, some things always have to be faced, I want to know how many women you have outside, it's not too much, right?" If you find me annoying, forget it. ”

Tang Yi smiled bitterly, Qi Jie is becoming more and more able to speak, coercion and temptation, reasonable and modest, if he doesn't say it, it seems that he has become a sinner.

After hesitating for a while, Tang Yi finally said: "Chen Ke, you met it when you were in Shanghai, and now she is the prosecutor of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, but she is very assertive, I don't know what will happen in the future." ”

Qi Jie smiled and said, "I seem to know this, what else?" ”

Tang Yi thought for a while and said, "No." Although Ye Xiaolu had a relationship with herself, she was a fashionable urban girl, and she didn't have any psychological burden on herself for the first time, and she couldn't tell when she met a man she liked more would marry someone like lightning, and it would be a bit self-inflicted to say that she was her lover.

"Is it really gone? Husband, you lied to me, you hesitated just now! ”

Tang Yi said helplessly: "Is it okay to have a relationship?" That's two, but you don't need to know her name. People may get married when, and it's too unfair for her to say it. ”

Qi Jie was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Husband, listen to what you mean, so far, you have had a relationship with three, ah, four women?" Isn't it okay to say that you are acting on the spot? ”

Although he felt that it was ridiculous to discuss this issue with his woman, Tang Yi still said helplessly: "What am I lying to you for?" "As for Sister Lan, it's not that Tang Yi has the intention to hide it, but at this moment, he has long forgotten about it.

Qi Jie was silent for a while, and said softly: "Husband, no matter what others think of you, in my eyes, you will always be the good man who values love and righteousness, really." "The atmosphere of today's society is very clear, not to mention Tang Yi's status, not even a slightly rich and powerful man, just an ordinary man in the middle and lower classes of society, after his thirties, how many people dare to say that he has not had a relationship with more than ten women? Girlfriends before marriage, romances after marriage, can be said to be common, after all, now that the door of Fengyue is open, how many men can resist the temptation if conditions permit?

As for Tang Yi's status, he has only had relationships with four women now, which can only be described as a freak.

Listening to Qi Jie's words, Tang Yi's old face turned red, and he said, "What about scolding me, right?" ”

Qi Jie immediately laughed: "Husband, you can't do this, the charm value is too low, except for the little girl who is obsessed with you in Yanshan, for so many years, no girl has taken a fancy to you, and I thought you would offer ten or eight, disappointed, your popularity is so low, I don't have face!" Now they doubt my vision. ”

Tang Yi said helplessly: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, okay?" It feels weird. ”

Qi Jie chuckled: "You also know that you have no face, well, tell me the last name you knew, see which one, I saw my husband's ability, and I was ashamed to abandon my poor husband." ”

Tang Yi said: "Forget it, I really won't talk about it." ”

Qi Jie smiled, "Then let's not talk about it, but husband, do you feel a little lighter now?" ”

Tang Yi sighed and did not speak.

Qi Jie then said softly: "Don't think nonsense, rest early, you, still worry about your big things!" As he spoke, he kissed the microphone and hung up the phone.
