When Fen Qiao woke up, he found that he was covered with a blanket, a small warm yellow lamp was left in the living room, and it was still dark outside the apartment. The wall clock on the wall shows that it is less than four o'clock.

From nine o'clock last night to four o'clock in the morning, it was the longest day since Fen Qiao's insomnia. She slept on the sofa and was sore, but physically she was satisfied with rest.

When she woke up, she couldn't sleep anymore, and after taking a shower, Fen Qiao took out the box that Gao Ling had left her for her birthday gift last time from the desk drawer.

The box is flat and long, and the packaging is very beautiful, Fen Qiao casually threw it into the bottom of the drawer when he got it, and then took it out, only to find that the weight was heavy.

When I opened the flap of the box, there was only one book in the box, which was the familiar cover of Fen Qiao, which was an original English version of "Pride and Prejudice".

This book is not a birthday present at all! Because it belongs to Fen Qiao, it was Fen Qiao's first year of middle school winter vacation, and her father took her to the bookstore to buy it!

Sure enough, after opening the book, the handwriting on the page was sporadically marked, some of the handwriting was Fenqiao's father's, and some were Gao Ling's.

During that winter vacation, the teacher assigned the task of reading an English book, and Fenqiao's father was afraid that she would find it too difficult and unwilling to read it, so he asked Gao Ling to accompany her to read it. Fenqiao doesn't like to look up dictionaries, so the two take turns in advance to mark the new words in the place where Fenqiao wants to read.

Fen Qiao took out the book from the box with red eyes and opened it page by page, and at this moment, the things sandwiched in the book fell out.

It's two envelopes.

Squatting down and picking them up one by one, one with a card, the other - ID cards, passports and air tickets?

Fen Qiao's eyes widened more and more, the ID card and passport in the envelope were not Fen Qiao's name at all, but the photo was undoubtedly Fen Qiao. The documents are fake!

The date of the ticket is two days after Fenqiao's birthday, and the place to fly is the Philippines.

So Gao Ling gave her two choices, stay? Or walk together?

Fen Qiao's thoughts were so confused that she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. If she had opened the box at the time, what would she have chosen?

Take the money in the card and live alone in Dian City, or - run away with Gao Ling, hide in this corner of the world, and never come back.

If she had seen this, what would she have chosen?

Fen Qiao reached out to cover his sour eye sockets and clenched his gums tightly.

She didn't want to admit it at all, she would follow Gao Ling.

Even though Gao Ling remarried more than three months after her father's death, even if she abandoned her in order to remarry. However, Fen Qiao knew how much he missed it

Before, she craved attention and love, even if only a little. As long as her mother still loves her, she is willing to live a life of exile from now on.

……

Because it was a Saturday morning, Fenqiao didn't have to go to school. Zhang Yi got up early in the morning and opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the apartment. The light came in in an instant, and the living room instantly brightened. The blanket on the sofa had been folded, and it looked like Fen Qiao had gone back to his room to sleep. Zhang Yi was satisfied and began to make breakfast.

Cooked early, the apartment was cleaned, but Fen Qiao's room was slow to move.

It was almost nine o'clock on the wall clock.

Didn't eat it sooner? Zhang Yi whispered to herself.

Thinking that when Fen Qiao came back yesterday, the situation was indeed very bad, Zhang Yi hesitated, put down the soup spoon in his hand and went upstairs and knocked on the door.

After several sounds, it was still quiet in the bedroom, and no one answered.

Try unscrewing the door, the bedroom is unlocked.

The curtains in the house were still closed, and the light was dim, so it was difficult to see clearly. Zhang Yi turned on the light and found that the bed was very neat, it was still the same as when she tidied up yesterday, and there was no trace of sleep.

Where will it go this morning?

……

At half past eight, Fen Qiao had already returned from the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

Early in the morning, when the flower shop first opened, she bought a bouquet of yellow roses, delicate and dewy, and placed them at her father's grave.

The bus prompts to arrive, and Fenqiao gets off.

She now knows all the transportation routes in Diancheng, and she no longer needs to take a taxi as before.

The place to get off is at the foot of the mountain, where Fenqiao's home used to be halfway up the mountain. He Kun told her that because she couldn't repay the bank loan, her family's house was about to be auctioned by the bank, and Fen Qiao thought about it, but she still couldn't help but take a look.

When she went out, Fen Qiao checked the card left by Gao Ling, and there was one million in the card. In fact, Fenqiao doesn't have a very clear idea of how much a million is. But no matter how vague the concept was, she also knew that a million might be enough for her for many years, but it was nothing to buy that house.

Fenqiao walked up along the winding mountain road, step by step. She had never felt that this road up the mountain was so long, and it had always been a winding mountain

In Fenqiao's memory, the highway is just a scenery passing by outside the car window.

In fact, Fen Qiao's body is very weak, and the road up the mountain is even more physically exhausting, and he walked to the door of the house with perseverance, and Fen Qiao was already covered in cold sweat at this time.

She rested against the door, panting softly. Aside from the seal on the door, the house looks the same as before. The lawn grew vigorously because no one was mowing it. Only the flowers in the flower bed hung their heads listlessly because they had not been taken care of for a long time.

Fen Qiao paused for a moment, slowly turned around along the guardrail outside the villa, and paused at the gate again.

In addition to the seal, there is actually a notice from the auction company on the door. The notice shows the time and place of the auction.

Fen Qiao stood on tiptoe and tore down the notice, rubbed it a few times and stuffed it into the pocket of his coat. His heart was pounding like a drum, and Fen Qiao ran down the mountain with his legs open.

She knew in her heart that maybe it wouldn't be useful, and even if she pulled the notice, others would know about the auction from other places. But she couldn't control her heart, she thought, even if the house is missing a buyer, it's good, maybe the house is not sold?

……

Diancheng is truly a magical city, and it can experience the four seasons of other cities in a week. Monday is warm as spring, Tuesday is scorching, Wednesday is crisp and Thursday is chilly.

This point was fully understood by Gu Yan not long after he came to Diancheng. Gu Yan rarely gets sick, but people who are less sick are menacing once they get sick.

After the first rain of summer, Gu Yan began to have a fever. Personally, he really hates the negative buff that comes with this illness, even if he seems to be unaffected on the surface, but the confusion caused by fever does not stop because of this.

Closing the text to be approved, Gu Yan poured himself a glass of water.

His sanity is the biggest reason why he is sitting in this seat today, and instead of making chaotic decisions at this time, it is better to wait for his mind to clear.

The special assistant's internal phone came in at this time, and Gu Yan returned to work and connected the phone.

"Mr. Gu, at eight o'clock this morning, Feng has officially declared bankruptcy, now do you need to start the acquisition?"

Gu Yan's fingertips lightly buckled twice on the table, and he spoke: "There's no need, Feng's is no longer valuable, let's invest the funds from selling Feng's shares before into the next project." The voice was rational and calm, as if it was not a business that had gone bankrupt under his decision, but a trivial matter that had no problem at all.

Liang Tezhu reported the specific matters of the new investment project one by one, and only thought about one thing before hanging up the phone.

"By the way, Mr. Gu, there is news about the property you asked me to pay attention to, and there is an auction company that will conduct a large auction of land and real estate on Friday next week, do you think you need to arrange for the schedule?"

"No, I'm going back to the imperial capital on Friday, this matter is up to you, it's just a temporary address, we don't need to stay in Diancheng for long."

Gu Yan's words were understated, but Liang Tezhu's heart set off a storm! What does this mean - they are about to return to the imperial capital?

What it means for Gu Yan to return to the imperial capital, Liang Tezhu couldn't be clearer.

The huge Gu family may complete the change of power in the near future, and the Gu family will usher in the youngest person in power in a hundred years!

It is he who knows this meaning so well, and his heart is so surging, he has witnessed the young man on the other end of the phone from the beginning of his youth, planning the layout, standing step by step to the peak, and starting a new journey. And as a member of this young man's body, he is honored! Liang Tezhu used all his strength to restrain his left hand, which was trembling with excitement from holding the microphone, and pressed the red button to end the call.

……

Late at night, Fen Qiao was doing exercises in the workbook under the lamp. In just a few months, the exercise book that Fen Qiao finished has become two thick stacks.

The nights were too long for Fen Qiao, she habitually woke up late at night, and then couldn't fall asleep, began to think crankily, and then her mood became more and more depressed, which almost formed a vicious circle.

So, Fen Qiao simply bought all the high school entrance examination exercises in the bookstore and wrote them one by one. Put all your energy into the exercises to get the thrill of solving the problems. In other words, it has become a channel for her to relieve stress.

However, that night, Fen Qiao couldn't give up, she wrote a few questions, and she couldn't help but take out the paper ball in her coat.

There is no need to open it to see, Fen Qiao has already engraved the time and place of the auction deeply in his mind.

She wanted to buy the house more than anyone else, but she didn't have the money.

Fen Qiao knew that even if she did everything she could, she would not be qualified to think about that house, but how could she be willing? That house carries her best memories and is also the place where her father has left the deepest traces in this world, how can she be willing to let her home go to someone else's hands?

……

Early on Monday morning, the high school affiliated to Yunnan University held a routine flag-raising ceremony. It was only on this day that after the flag was raised, the president announced the list of universities to be escorted.

The university that is guaranteed is Yenching, a well-known university in the country.

In the past three years of high school, He Kun has never fallen below the top three in the grade in every monthly test, which is almost a god-like existence in the attached middle school where the masters gather, not to mention the dozen awards he won for the attached middle school.

Fen Qiao applauded with everyone.

Then came the long weekly summary, and the principal's speech was so long and cumbersome that he could only stop when the bell rang for class.

After the school meeting was dispersed, the students were busy returning to the classroom, and in just two minutes, there were no more people left in the playground.

"Fen Qiao!"

Fen Qiao turned around, wondering why He Kun stopped her at this time, but she still stopped and waited for He Kun to catch up.

"Give it to me."

Fen Qiao thought that he was going to give sour plum again, his eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked. I don't know where He Kun found so many sour plums with different packages and different flavors.

He Kun was stunned by this long-lost smile, he hadn't seen Fen Qiao laugh so easily for a long time.

The girl's eyes seemed to have fallen into the light of thousands of stars, and the beauty was almost indulged in it, and her pale face could see the tiny fur in the gentle sunlight, and her cherry-red lips were pursed. The breeze swept past her ears and ruffled her waist-length black hair.
