Zhang Yang and Chu Yanran both knew that a lot of things had happened in the Qiao family recently, but Qiao Pengfei's matter should not make Qiao Mengyuan show such sadness and despair, the two vaguely felt that something big must have happened in the Qiao family, but no one asked, they took Qiao Mengyuan to Liang Chenglong's villa, Chu Yanran accompanied Qiao Mengyuan to talk, Zhang Yang went out to call Shi Wei, Shi Wei was in the capital at this time, heard about his cousin's matter, and immediately said that he would fly over to accompany her tonight. Zhang Yang knew that Shi Wei was a xing who couldn't hold the fire in paper, and told her not to mention this matter to anyone.

Qiao Mengyuan's mood stabilized a lot, she looked at Chu Yanran, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said softly: "Yanran, in fact, I have been looking for an opportunity to visit you in the past two days, but I didn't expect our first meeting to be under such circumstances. ”

Chu Yanran said with a smile: "I also want to visit you, when I was not in the country, you gave Zhang Yang a lot of help, I just want to thank you." ”

The two behaved very politely, and after Qiao Mengyuan's mood stabilized, she went to wash her face and returned to Chu Yanran's side, although her eyes were still a little red, but her expression had regained her sanity and composure.

Zhang Daguan walked in from outside, holding the dim sum he had just bought from the cake shop outside: "I'm tired of talking, let's eat some mats first." Chu Yanran said, "Where did you buy it?" "The heart said that this guy would coax girls, and these snacks were not bought for themselves.

Zhang Yang said: "I saw a cake shop on the way here just now, and I heard you chatting so hot, I didn't bother you, so I turned around and went to buy something to eat." ”

Chu Yanran got up and said, "I'll cook *coffee, Sister Meng, you talk first, and the fragrant and strong cappuccino will be served to you immediately!" Chu Yanran just walked away under the pretext, she and Qiao Mengyuan didn't have too deep friendship in front of her, and it must be difficult for Zhang Yang to talk to her, so she was very reasonable to give them a chance.

Qiao Mengyuan said: "Yanran, don't be so troublesome!" But Chu Yanran had already walked out.

Only Zhang Yang and Qiao Mengyuan were left in the living room, and the atmosphere became a little awkward, in fact, their solitude would not have been like this, but this time there was Chu Yanran in the room, Qiao Mengyuan's slender ten fingers were entangled, and she didn't know what to say.

Zhang Yang said: "I just called Shi Wei, she immediately bought a plane ticket to come, I think I should go to Dongjiang tonight." ”

Qiao Mengyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What did you call her to do?" Everywhere she goes, she is not enough to succeed and more than to lose" She knew in her heart that Zhang Yang was for her own good, and for some reason remembered the days when they were isolated in Nancy because of type N pneumonia, how steady and stable the days of being with her were that kind of close companionship, even if the disease threatened her life, she was never afraid of Zhang Yang's company.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "No matter what happens to Lou Sheng, as long as you remember, I will stand by your side!" ”

Qiao Mengyuan's already calm heart fluctuated again, and only Zhang Yang would bring her that warm and down-to-earth feeling. But Qiao Mengyuan's secret in her heart will not tell anyone, even Zhang Yang, this matter came too suddenly and incredible, she knows the possible impact of this matter.

Zhang Yang said: "Are you worried about your brother's affairs?" ”

Qiao Mengyuan nodded, at present, only the matter of the eldest brother can be an excuse for her emotional breakdown: "My brother just called, he said that he was framed and cannot return to the country at present, my father..."

Zhang Yang said: "The matter of Pengju is obviously being designed, according to my analysis, someone is not only targeting him, but also your Qiao family." ”

Qiao Mengyuan said: "Those of us who are children not only bring comfort to our parents, but bring them endless trouble, we are really unfilial." Chu Yanran walked over with the freshly cooked *coffee, Qiao Mengyuan looked at the delicate milk bubble on the *coffee cup, and smiled: "Yanran has such a beautiful cup of *coffee, I can't bear to drink it." Chu Yanran said: "Finally, there is a person who knows how to appreciate my * coffee When I cook it for someone, he is simply a cow drink!" As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Yang with loving eyes.

Zhang Yang smiled: "I like to drink tea, but this thing smells fragrant." Chu Yanran handed him a cup of tea, Zhang Yang took a sip of the fragrance of his teeth, the aroma of the tea and Chu Yanran's affection for him have been deep in his heart, if his wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for!

Qiao Mengyuan said: "It's really enviable to see you so happy!" She absolutely meant it.

Chu Yanran said: "Sister Mengyuan, is your brother's matter important?" Qiao Mengyuan nodded, and she said in a low voice: "I have been thinking about this matter just now, in the past, I thought that I didn't need to rely on my family to run a business, and I wanted to prove myself in this way, but now that I think about it, I was wrong." Chu Yanran said: "Am I not the same? ”

Qiao Mengyuan smiled: "How can it be the same? You are taking over your grandmother's business, and what you are doing now does not rely on the slightest relationship between your fathers.

You can draw with officialdom... Clear all the boundaries, and I" she sighed and said, "Authority, I didn't really understand until now. ”

Chu Yanran finally understood why his father was resolutely opposed to his investment in Pinghai, he had probably foreseen such a crisis, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, any social relationship is a double-edged sword, if you use it well, you can be like a fish in water, but if you don't use it properly, you will be cocooned.

Qiao Mengyuan said: "I will quit completely!" Zhang Yang said: "Mengyuan, if you think about it carefully, it is not easy for you to have today's achievements." Qiao Mengyuan said: "The achievement is not mine!" Shi Wei arrived at the place where they were that night, she was in the capital, of course she heard a lot of news, Qiao's family was really in big trouble this time, seeing her cousin's haggard appearance, Shi Wei's tears fell, Qiao Mengyuan completely calmed down at this time, she comforted Shi Wei and said: "It's okay, let's go home!" Shi Wei nodded.

Zhang Yang said: "I'll send you back!" ”

Qiao Mengyuan said: "Don't bother you!" Chu Yanran smiled: "It's okay, I'm going home anyway!" After saying this, she felt that her words were a little redundant, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn red. Fortunately, neither Qiao Mengyuan nor Shi Wei noticed the change in her expression.

Zhang Daguan drove them back to the family home of the provincial party committee, Qiao Mengyuan decided to go home because Huā worked hard to convince herself, she has never been an escapist person, although the words outside the Buddhist hall made her emotions out of control for a while, but after she calmed down, she began to regret it immediately, no matter what the truth of the matter is, she must face it bravely, the Qiao family is facing the biggest crisis in twenty years, she can't choose to escape at this time.

Zhang Yang sent Qiao Mengyuan and Shi Wei to the door of Qiao's house, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, but seeing Qiao Mengyuan's firm eyes, this gaze made him believe that Qiao Mengyuan would never fall easily.

Qiao Mengyuan shook hands with Chu Yanran before parting: "Yanran, go back, don't worry about my affairs." Chu Yanran nodded and walked towards the Song family with Zhang Yang.

Shi Wei looked at the backs of them both leaving and said, "Cousin, are they going to get married?" Qiao Mengyuan said: "What does this have to do with you?" Shi Wei didn't speak, but in his heart, he compared Guo Zhijiang and Zhang Yang.

Qiao Zhenliang sat alone in the living room, there was a big smell of smoke in the room, the cigarette butt was at his feet, it had long been extinguished, and Qiao Zhenliang's expression was as silent as ash.

Shi Wei had never seen his uncle like this, so he stuck out his tongue in fright.

Qiao Zhenliang heard their footsteps and saw his daughter, his eyes lit up obviously, and what flowed out was regret and love, Qiao Mengyuan looked at her father's gaze, trying her best to control her inner feelings, she said in a low voice: "Dad!" I want to have a good talk with you! Qiao Zhenliang nodded, and the father and daughter walked towards the study one after the other.

Qiao Mengyuan closed the door of the study and locked the door again.

Qiao Zhenliang sat down behind the desk, opened the drawer, and wanted to find a cigarette, but was stopped by Qiao Mengyuan: "What about my mother?" Qiao Zhenliang pursed his mouth vigorously: "We talked about it and decided to divorce, she chose to become a monk!" This result did not surprise Qiao Mengyuan, and there was a layer of sad tears in her beautiful eyes: "I heard your conversation outside the Buddhist hall. Qiao Zhenliang looked at his daughter and shook his head vigorously: "It has nothing to do with you!" ”

Qiao Mengyuan looked at her father quietly: "I'd rather not hear those words." ”

Qiao Zhenliang stared at his daughter affectionately: "Mengyuan, you listen to me, nothing has changed, no matter what happens in this world, it can't change the relationship between us, I am your father, you will always be my daughter, the only daughter." Qiao Mengyuan's calmness was beyond Qiao Zhenliang's expectations, she said in a low voice: "Dad, I came here today to tell you one thing, I will be your daughter well, I will end all the business in my hands in the shortest possible time, I don't know how much I can help my family, but as long as I can do it, I will do everything, my brother called me, he was designed, at least he is safe so far, he wants you and grandpa to take care of their health." ”

Although Qiao Mengyuan kept calling her father, Qiao Zhenliang still felt abnormality from it, this is a sense of distance that cannot be described in words, Qiao Zhenliang looked at her daughter: "Mengyuan don't leave Dad!" ”

Although Qiao Mengyuan's voice was soft, it revealed an extraordinary firmness: "Dad, I won't leave, when the Qiao family encounters difficulties, I will never ignore it!" ”！。
