Ye Ming couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Lu Nianzi suddenly gave himself a red envelope, and this red envelope was quite big, and he was also very puzzled: According to the customs of some places in Tianjiang Province, if a relative comes to his home for the first time, or if the object of his children comes to the door for the first time, the elder has to send things or give red envelopes. In the countryside, the original better families are all handing out materials and clothes, and the families who are worse will send a towel and a few eggs, in short, they must "mean the meaning", otherwise they will think that the family does not understand etiquette and rules.

And now, Lu Nianzi suddenly gave herself a red envelope, and the reason she said was that she was going to her house for the first time today, so she wanted to express what she meant. In other words: she really regarded herself as a relative who came to her house for the first time - this point, Ye Ming was both moved and a little embarrassed.

Of course, Ye Ming would never have dreamed that he and this high-ranking "Director Lu" of the National Development and Reform Commission were real sisters and brothers, and they were also real relatives, so Lu Nianzi would give him such a big red envelope when he went to her door for the first time......

And Zhang Yan, who was standing next to her, also misunderstood what Lu Nianzi meant, thinking that she really wanted to be a matchmaker for herself and introduce herself to Ye Ming, so she regarded Ye Ming as her "quasi-brother-in-law", and gave him a big red envelope when he first went to her house, and couldn't help but be happy and ashamed, and full of gratitude to her careful and considerate sister-in-law.

Therefore, when she saw that Ye Ming was still hesitating and didn't want to accept the red envelope, she glanced at Ye Ming with a red face and charming, and whispered: "Ye Ming, this is the hospitality rules of Tianjiang Province, and it is also a little bit of my sister-in-law's heart, so don't shirk it." You see, my sister-in-law's eyes are red, and I am very reluctant to let you go! Thank you, sister-in-law! ”

Lu Nianzi heard Zhang Yan say "thank you", looked at her a little inexplicably, saw her cheeks flushed, her expression was shy, and her eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at her brother, and then she suddenly realized: It turned out that her sister-in-law thought that her sister-in-law gave Ye Ming a red envelope because of her, and she couldn't help but be a little funny, but she didn't say anything, nodded at Zhang Yan, and stuffed the red envelope into Ye Ming's hand.

Ye Ming saw that Lu Nianzi said very sincerely, and Zhang Linjiang, who was following her, had also been looking at him with cordial and enthusiastic eyes, so he no longer shirked, took the red envelope, thanked Lu Nianzi and Zhang Linjiang, and walked to the elevator with Zhang Yan.

On the way back to the hotel, Zhang Yan has been in a state of a little excitement and shyness, the blush on her face has never dissipated, and she is also a little absent-minded when driving, turning her head from time to time to look at Ye Ming, who is sitting in the passenger seat seriously, and wants to ask him a few words several times, but she can't say it because she is shy.

After being silent for a few minutes, Ye Ming's mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he took it out to see the number, it was the mobile phone number that Chen Mengqi used in the provincial capital.

Ye Ming hurriedly pressed the answer button and said, "Qiqi, hello!" Why haven't you slept at this time? Is there something to find me? ”

Chen Mengqi didn't answer his words, and there was only a slight "sizzling" sound from the current in the earpiece.

"Kiki, you speak! Where are you now? At home or at the Golden Bridge Hotel? ”

Chen Mengqi still didn't speak, and after about half a minute, Ye Ming suddenly heard a suppressed, slight sobbing sound from inside, and then hung up the phone.

Ye Ming saw that Chen Mengqi hung up the phone, and hurriedly called back, but there was a voice prompt inside: "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off!" ”

Ye Ming put the phone back in the bag a little stunned, leaned his head on the cushion behind him, and put his hands behind his head, falling into a state of worry and contemplation.

Since that time when Xin Leng and Chen Mengqi separated, Ye Ming has never seen her again, and the two of them have never spoken on the phone.

According to Ye Ming's thoughts, he originally wanted to keep in touch with Chen Mengqi. However, every time he picked up the phone and was about to dial her number, he felt that he was really not good at saying anything to Chen Mengqi.

Moreover, because of her relationship with Chen Yi and being known by Chen Mengqi, if she talks to Chen Mengqi again, she is really a little embarrassed: she is so good to herself, so infatuated, even after knowing her ambiguous relationship with Chen Yi, she still hopes to be with him, as long as he cuts off the relationship with Chen Yi in the future. This made him feel full of regret for Chen Mengqi in his heart, and felt that he owed her a lot of debt emotionally.

Moreover, he estimated: Although Chen Mengqi is very kind, he is also very infatuated with himself. However, after being hurt so much, especially after she refused to cut off her relationship with Chen Yi and refuse to be with her, her strong love for herself may be transformed into an equally strong hatred.

Although, before Chen Mengqi left Xinleng, on the text messages sent to him, he was still affectionate to himself, and he didn't seem to show any hatred. But who can guarantee that when she returns to the provincial capital, she will not develop hatred for herself, under the domination of a strong sense of loss?

It was precisely because of these worries and concerns that Ye Ming never had the courage to call Chen Mengqi again. And Chen Mengqi seems to have completely forgotten Ye Ming, and never called him again.

Ye Ming analyzed that there are two possibilities why Chen Mengqi no longer contacts her: first, she does have a strong resentment towards herself in her heart, so she no longer wants to have anything to do with him; The second is that she already has a boyfriend, or has a suitor, and she already has sustenance in her heart, and she doesn't want to contact herself anymore.

And judging from some of the situations that wake up to them and give them feedback, the second possibility is very high.

It turned out that just a few days ago, Su Xing made a phone call to Ye Ming and asked him what was going on with Chairman Chen Yuanqiao's daughter? Did you break up?

Ye Ming asked him rhetorically, "How do you know?" ”

Su Xing said regretfully: "Old classmate, if you really broke up with Chen Mengqi, it would be a pity!" I have a lot of dealings with her now, and a lot of business is done in her hands. I think: she is a very kind and virtuous girl, and she has such a good family background and is so beautiful, how can you easily let go of such a good girl?

"Let me tell you: according to my observation, Xia Haoyu of Huayu Heavy Industries, after Chen Mengqi returned to the provincial capital, launched a fanatical pursuit offensive against her, almost every time I went to Jinqiao Group to do business, I could see Xia Haoyu guarding Chen Mengqi's office. Moreover, once I heard the sales boss of Jinqiao Group say: it will be their eldest lady's birthday in a few days, and Mr. Xia Haoyu, the young boss of Huayu Group, is ready to hold a birthday banquet for their eldest lady at Jinqiao Hotel, and propose to the eldest lady on the spot. ”
