Ouyang Dong pondered for a long time, and finally hesitated and said, "But if you are not the owner of this pavilion, no one in the entire Jianghai will be competent." ”

Su Qiubai was speechless when he heard this, he thought that he had already said that he had moved him, but now it seems that his thoughts have not changed much.

Just as he was about to continue to refute, a person suddenly popped up in Su Qiubai's mind, she was more suitable to be the owner of this pavilion than herself, and she didn't have to worry about her not being able to convince the public.

"Mayor, in fact, I have a better candidate to recommend, and she has contributed a lot when it comes to eradicating the puppets, which is obvious to everyone." Su Qiubai said.

Ouyang Dong glanced at him and asked, "Who do you mean?" ”

Su Qiubai replied, "Anya." ”

Ouyang Dong fell into contemplation again when he heard this, he also knew that Anya had helped Su Qiubai a lot at that time, but after all, she couldn't compare with Su Qiubai, not to mention that she was a woman, could she be qualified for the position of the owner of this pavilion?

"Are you sure she's willing to be the owner?" Ouyang Dong asked tactfully.

Su Qiubai remembered that when Anya told him about this a few days ago, her attitude was inclined to let him be the owner of this museum, indicating that she should not be resistant to this position, so she replied: "I'll go back and ask her, if she doesn't agree, let's find another way." ”

Ouyang Dong was speechless by him for a while, he didn't seem to agree with his suggestion, why did he have an expression of "just decided"?

Su Qiubai didn't give him a chance to refuse, and said goodbye after speaking: "I just came back from other places, and I was brought to you before I could go home, if there is nothing else to do now, can I go back?" ”

Ouyang Dong had no choice but to nod helplessly and let Ouyang Mei take him out again.

After leaving the office, Ouyang Meicai said with a smile: "Your three-inch incorruptible tongue is really powerful, even my father can't do anything about you." ”

Su Qiubai said modestly: "That's the mayor's politeness to me, otherwise if he insists on giving me this position, I won't be able to refuse." ”

Ouyang Mei deliberately said when she heard this: "Oh? Then I'll go back and sue him, and ask him to appoint you directly as the hall master. ”

Su Qiubai hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Good sister, just spare me, I really don't want to be the owner of this pavilion." ”

Ouyang Mei just wanted to scare him, but when she heard this, she asked strangely, "Did you tell my father the truth just now?" About the reasons why you don't want to be a curator. ”

Su Qiubai nodded and said, "Of course it's true, but that's not all. ”

Ouyang Mei asked, "What are the other reasons besides these?" What I have always been unable to figure out is that you have refused three times and twice for such a beauty difference, should I say that you are indifferent to fame and fortune, or are you stupid? ”

Su Qiubai smiled and said: "No matter how you say it, I just can't stand the constraints, not to mention that when I become the owner of this pavilion, I have to assume the responsibility of the owner of the pavilion, I am used to being free and casual, I am afraid that I can't afford it." ”

Ouyang Mei nodded, didn't say anything more, and drove Su Qiubai back to the villa.

As soon as he got home, Su Qiubai saw that his mother was sitting on the sofa with Anya watching TV, and the two were still talking and laughing, and he was a little surprised.

When I left, my mother still looked out of place because she had just arrived, but I didn't expect that within a few days, she would already look like a hostess.

"Mom, I'm back." Su Qiubai said hello.

The two turned around and answered, and Anya saw that he was still carrying the Xuanyuan Sword behind his back, so she asked, "Didn't you go to return the sword?" Why did you bring it back again? Didn't you get into some trouble along the way? ”

Su Qiubai shook his head and said: "No, I returned Shennong Ding, but Shilong's predecessor said that since Xuanyuan Sword has recognized the master, it is my thing, and he will not take it back in my lifetime." ”

Anya was overjoyed when she heard this: "That's great, now you have a weapon again!" ”

Su Qiubai smiled, walked to her mother and sat down, chatted briefly, and then turned the topic to Anya: "Xiaoya, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

Anya looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Qiubai thought for a while and said, "About the martial arts hall master. I went to see Mayor Ouyang today, and he still wanted me to be the owner of the museum, but I have already refused. I recommended a better candidate to him, and that was you. ”

Hearing this, Anya immediately sat up straight and said in surprise: "What are you kidding! How could I be a better candidate? In terms of cultivation and qualifications, I am under you, with you in charge, where is my turn to be the owner of this pavilion? ”

Su Qiubai said helplessly: "My personality is not suitable for being the owner of the museum, and I don't like to be in the limelight, so I have to ask you, you should do me a favor." ”

Anya glanced at him and said, "Do I love this limelight?" I think you just don't want to be it, so you pushed me out as a shield! ”

Dongfang Miao on the side also said: "Qiubai, what you don't want to do, you can't force Xiaoya to replace you." And I don't think this owner is a Longtan tiger's den, why are you two hiding farther than the other? ”

Su Qiubai saw that her mother actually started to stand on Anya's side, and immediately laughed and said, "I've only been away for a few days, why are you two on such a good relationship?" ”

Anya and Dongfang Miao glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the affairs between our women!" ”

Su Qiubai smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I don't care." Then the matter of the owner of this pavilion ......"

Anya said: "Let me think about it, in fact, I am not so repulsed by this, anyway, I am idle at home now, and it is good to have something to do." ”

Su Qiubai was overjoyed when he heard this, he knew that Anya would most likely not refuse this position, so one of his big troubles would be solved.

"Then I'll go to the mayor tomorrow and tell him the good news!" Su Qiubai said happily.

Anya smiled and said, "I remember you said that you can come to be a master for the disciples of the Martial Arts Pavilion, so you will be my subordinate in the future?" ”

Su Qiubai thought about it, so he smiled and said, "It's not, Lord Anda!" ”

Anya stretched out her hand and pushed him, and said with a smile: "It's cheap and good!" ”

After returning to the room, Su Qiubai had another thing in mind. It has been some time since he rescued his mother, but he has not told his father the news, because he is afraid that his father will rush back as soon as he knows the news, and the conflict between him and his mother has not yet been resolved, and if they meet directly, this conflict may intensify.

But when I think about it, I can't bear to hide it from my father, who has been closing himself off on the battlefield all these years to paralyze himself. Although it seems to be an irresponsible approach, he is not a person like Su Qiubai who can put aside a qiē, he is burdened with things that he cannot give up, and this may also be a way for him to punish himself.

Thinking like this, Su Qiubai quietly dialed his father's phone.

"Most of the time it's okay for you kid to take the initiative to call me, let's say, what's wrong?" After the phone was connected, Su Pojun said with a smile.

Su Qiubai hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have something I want to tell you, I ...... I rescued my mom and she's with me now. ”

There was a sound of a heavy object falling on the other side of the phone, obviously the earpiece was not held firmly and fell on the table, followed by a noisy and busy sound, Su Qiubai could hear that his father's hand picking up the earpiece must be trembling.

"You're not kidding? If I let me know you're joking with this, I'll go over and beat you up right away!" Su Pojun's voice sounded excited and nervous.

"Dad, why would I joke about such a thing?" Su Qiubai said speechlessly.

When Su Pojun heard this, he fell into a long silence and did not speak for a long time.

"Dad, are you still listening?" Su Qiubai thought that the phone had been hung up, and asked uncertainly.

"I'm listening, but I'm ...... You tell me to calm down. Su Pojun's voice sounded very uncalm.

Su Qiubai could understand his father's mood at the moment, after all, he probably didn't dare to imagine that he would be able to hear from his wife again in his lifetime, because rescuing Dongfang Miao seemed to him to be an impossible thing at all.

There were several hesitant voices on the other end of the phone to speak, but in the end they were all cut off, and Su Pojun seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know where to start.

After a while, he finally held back a sentence: "Is your mother okay?" ”

Su Qiubai replied: "She hasn't had a good life for more than 20 years, but now it's fine." ”

In fact, Su Pojun can think of these things without him saying them, but he never dares to think about these things, because when he thinks of them, the heavy pressure makes him breathless. Now that he suddenly heard the news from his wife again, he didn't know what kind of attitude he should use to face it. He knew that he should be happy and excited, but at the moment he was more uneasy and guilty.

"Did she mention me?" After hesitating for a long time, Su Pojun finally asked.

Su Qiubai didn't know whether to tell him the truth or not, because that might be a bit cruel to him.

Seeing that Su Qiubai didn't speak, Su Pojun understood, and as he expected, Dongfang Miao did have a grudge against him in his heart.

"Actually, she should hate me too, I was the one who should have rescued her, but I made her wait for more than 20 years, and in the end, it was your son who rescued her." Su Pojun said with some annoyance.

"Dad, I called you just to discuss this. Although your mother has some complaints about you in her heart, her original feelings will not disappear because of this. I'd like to mention you to her later and see how she looks. Su Qiubai said.

Su Pojun said: "I can't wait so long, I'll leave for Jianghai tomorrow, and I'll tell her this qiē personally." ”

Su Qiubai frowned when she heard this: "I'm afraid that if you appear directly in front of her, she will be unhappy, but it will intensify the conflict between you." ”

Su Pojun smiled and said: "She is my wife, it is a big mistake for me not to save her, if I even ask her to forgive and let your son do it, then I really have no face to see her." Rest assured, no matter what the outcome is, I hope to solve this matter personally. As for the fact that I am going to Jianghai, you don't sue her yet. ”

After Su Pojun finished speaking, he hung up the phone, not even giving Su Qiubai a chance to refuse.
