He Chong held a meat skewer in his left hand, a bottle of Lancheng's local orange-flavored soda in his right hand, and stopped when he was playing a food stall - after walking around the most prosperous commercial street in Lancheng for a long time, he had no intention of leaving.

It is said to be a commercial street, and compared with Lucheng, it is at most an upgraded version of the farmers' market. But for him, a rich young master who has been immersed in the modern metropolis since he was a child, this is simply a strange place in Yinghuan.

"Boss, which one is delicious?" The porous stove was spitting hot flames, and a row of crockpots were gurgling hot, and he craned his neck to sniff hard.

"This ......"

The boss was about to introduce him, when Chiba rushed up and pulled him aside.

"Mr. He, it's not early, are you still eating?"

"Why did you ask you to call me by my name." He bit off the last piece of meat on the bamboo skewer and said, "Go back and buy a few more skewers, this meat is really delicious." "He looks at ease and doesn't seem to have the heart to do anything serious.

Chiba looked at him suspiciously, and couldn't help asking, "What time is the appointment with the customer, we have been hanging for most of the day." ”

"The customer is busy, and he said that he would call me when he was busy...... By the way, where are we going next? ”

"What's next?"

"Find a special restaurant, it's time for dinner. What do you like to eat here, chickens, ducks, fish, cows, sheep and donkeys? ”

"Still eating? I've eaten so much. ”

"That's not counting just now, it's dinner now, you have to have something solid."

Chiba looked up and saw that it was getting dark, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. But He Chong couldn't intervene in how to arrange, so he had to say patiently: "It's not early, let's hurry up and implement the place to live." ”

"Oh yes, how did I forget." He Chong threw the bamboo skewers and soda bottles into the trash can, and wiped his hands again, "There are a few six-star hotels here, choose the one that is closer." ”

Chiba looked at him with a "you say it again" expression, crying and laughing.

"There is only one business hotel called 'six-star', and there is no six-star hotel."

"What about five stars, won't there be five stars?"

"Don't embarrass me, anyway, it's okay to find an expensive family, you can make do with it."

He Chong frowned and compromised: "Hurry up and book." ”

Finding the number, she dialed the hotel front desk.

"Hello, do you have any rooms...... Right...... Two ...... Are there any 2 private rooms...... There are only standard rooms, so I'll ask, you wait. ”

She covered the phone with her hand.

"There is no single room, there is still a standard room left, she recommended us to book a business room but there is no discount, why not change one."

He Chong angrily snatched the phone away.

"Hey, don't listen to that woman's nonsense, book a presidential suite...... No! Damn, what's the hotel...... Business suite? Is it the best of all of you...... Keep that for me...... Congratulations, Gabeh...... Who wants you to give me a discount, problem! ”

The phone hangs up.

"If you open a hotel and don't even have a presidential suite, will you do business?" He grumbled.

"It's not the president's presidential suite......" Chiba muttered quietly.

"I won't let you pay for it, what are you nervous about. Yang Qianye, are you in the water in your brain, let me live in a standard room. ”

"Aren't they all places to sleep, how much difference can be made in one building?"

"Look at the two ...... behind you"

Chiba looked back and saw two serious and focused bodyguards standing ten meters away. They have been following since they set off from Lucheng, and He Chong can't get rid of it.

"Do you think it's appropriate for someone in a standard room to match two stupid big guys?"

"Do they just follow along, not drinking or eating?"

"Whatever, that's their job." He Chong said lightly, Chiba felt very uncomfortable.

Indeed, no matter what line of work you do, there is no such thing as "easy", the bodyguard is like this, and she is like this - except for people of He Chong's status.

"Do you want to stop contacting customers and just wait?"

"What's the panic, take me to your house to see." He Chong suddenly proposed.

"My family?" She was in a bit of a trance at that moment, and the thing "home" had said goodbye to her seventeen years ago.

"What, you're not welcome?"

"No, it's not."

"Then go and take a look, don't go back to Lucheng and say that I'm not close to the boss."

"Okay, let's go."

Although she has no home, the most important person in her life is in Lancheng, and of course she wants to fly back to her mother as soon as possible. So he didn't want to worry too much, nodded and took He Chong in the direction of the sanatorium.

The osmanthus flowers are fragrant, the yellow leaves are repeated, and the whole sanatorium is immersed in a lonely tranquility.

"Why don't you go to your house, what are you doing here?" He Chong asked curiously.

"My house is right here."

Turning left and right, the two came to Mo Lian's ward.

To be honest, when He Chong saw this ward, he didn't dare to step in at first - there were three people with different diseases sleeping in three beds, all of them looking like they were on the verge of death, which was really terrifying.

"Mom!"

Chiba called to the bed under the window, and ran over with a smile, showing the kind of joyful, happy, complete and pure smile that He Chong had never seen before. In addition, although he knew that Mo Lianzhi was in a vegetative state, when he really saw it, He Chong's heart was still quite shocked.

Chiba spoke to her mother for a long time, and like other children in the world, she reported good news and not bad news.

He stood aside and watched quietly, his thoughts flooding.

It took a while for Chiba to realize that he had snubbed him, and the smile that had bloomed since he entered the door was still on his face.

"I'm sorry, I've left you aside, I haven't seen my mother for a long time, and I'm talking a little too much...... I'll move you a chair. ”

He quickly grabbed her, and that look, that strength, was not at all like a simple stop.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Can I talk to her for a while?"

"You?" She looked back at Mo Lianzhi with a blank expression, "She can't hear anything, she doesn't even feel anything." ”

"No, there must be, here." He Chong poked his left chest, then stepped forward and bowed to Mo Lianzhi.

"Hello Auntie, my name is He Chong, and I am Yang Qianye's...... Friend. She didn't tell me she was coming to see you, so I didn't buy anything, sorry. She really looks like you, no, you are much prettier than her, and you have a good temperament. ”

Chiba couldn't help but sneer.

"What nonsense."

"Oh, you go out, I'll talk to my aunt for a while." He Chongwu moved a chair and sat down, moved it to the bed, and instructed, "Why don't you find a doctor and ask Auntie about her recent situation, don't get in my way here." ”

"Well, I was about to go to the doctor...... You're right here? ”

"Well, go ahead."

When Chiba walked away, he quietly shook Mo Lianzhi's hand as if he had seen his own relatives.

It was a dry hand, and it looked a little craggy and couldn't bear to look at it directly.

"Auntie, tell you secretly, I like your Chiba. She is very good, more righteous than men, and she doesn't spend any money, she takes things seriously, and she is polite and polite when dealing with people. He searched hard in his mind for the evaluation of Chiba, but found that he could not find the most accurate word, "But she is not very smart, and sometimes she is very stupid, such as the fact that I like her, I haven't seen it yet, and I'm dying." Tell me, my family is quite rich, can I lower my body and take the initiative to confess to her? Yes, I know it has nothing to do with having money or not, but I have a good face...... Just wait, I'll continue to hint at her. You can also rest assured, I He Chong has no other skills, but taking care of her is not a problem. ”

As he spoke, he gently stroked Mo Lianzhi's hand, and gradually, the hands seemed to have a temperature and became soft.

He looked out the door like a thief again.

"She's usually very frugal, and she can't even buy beautiful clothes, so I think she might spend all her money here. You are so happy to have such a filial and sensible daughter. I'm a believer in miracles, so you're sure you'll get better, and if I tell you such great news today, you'll be happy for us, right? Remember, my name is He Chong, Gabehe, and I am rushing into the sky......"

At this moment, she suddenly saw Mo Lianzhi's pupils glancing towards her.

He quickly let go of his hand and shook his head vigorously, unable to tell if it was a hallucination or not.

"You just glanced at me, didn't you want to tell me that you like me very much and agree with me as a future son-in-law?" He said innocently, the muscles under his cheekbones bloomed, "Great, I know that you must be happy with me, and I am also happy with myself, but I don't know what your daughter thinks." ”

"What do you think?" Chiba's voice suddenly rang out, and she walked back.

"So fast?"

"Well, my mother's doctor isn't there."

"Oh." He got up from the side of the bed and rubbed his hands, "It's nothing, I talked to my aunt nonsense." ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Say that you work hard and have a bright future."

"Cut ......" Chiba shook her head with a smile and took the basin from under the bed, "I want to help her wipe herself." ”

"Okay, then I'll go sit in the garden for a while."

She never imagined that one day she would bring a person of the opposite sex to visit her mother, who had been her enemies in the first place.

Even though it's just a temporary arrangement on a business trip, it's still a little wonderful. Anyway, she thanked He Chong, and thanked him for sitting there and chatting stupidly knowing that Mo Lianzhi didn't react. Come to think of it, this flamboyant and domineering boy brother is actually cute, and he is even more cute in today's performance.

Coming out of the sanatorium, the two had a meal nearby, and the so-called customer still had no contact. Chiba asked to go back to the sanatorium to sit for a while, and He Chong went back to the hotel first.

He took a shower, woke up with a bottle of red wine, and wanted to talk to Chiba the next night.

At this moment, the phone rang.

"Hey."

"How's it going, there's still no news from the customer?"

"It's tomorrow...... When are you going to get back to the hotel? ”

"Ah, that's right. Well, then I'll be in the sanatorium tonight, you get off early. ”

"You...... All right. ”

What frustrating and disappointing news this is. There are no customers in Lancheng at all, everything is made up by him.

He must admit that Chiba has subverted his aesthetic of women, and it is not just a change in the standard of appearance. In his heart, Chiba's goodness is natural and pure, not pretentious or hypocritical, which is exactly the least common type of person around him.

Viewed from the window, this third-tier town called Lancheng exudes a slightly backward but head-on vitality, with old buildings covered in neon that mimic the exuberant rhythm of a modern metropolis.

He Chong took the wine, thinking about how Chiba had grown up here, and what it would be like to live with her in the future.

……

Lu Meiqin opened the door, kicked off her high heels left and right, threw her satchel on the ground, and walked towards the sofa.

She was so tired that she needed to lie down immediately.

Under Lei Wan's arrangement, Yehou agreed to help her win back the Lujiang No. 1 project. Although she didn't know how the owner of this mysterious paradise would operate and what kind of relationship she had with the He family, she could only trust it for the sake of the future.

Lujiang No. 1 is too important to her. From the earliest time to complete the task, to now when it comes to her own interests, she has asked herself not to miss it. If the project cooperation is successful, her economic income and social status will soar to the first circle, and then it will not be her asking for help, but people begging her.

Just as she was lying on the sofa and falling asleep, there was a noise in the room, and she hurriedly ran towards Song Yingchen's bedroom.

Song Yingchen always avoided her, sleeping at home during the day, and when she came back at night, she didn't know where to go. He expressed his dissatisfaction in a hide-and-seek way, which is the same as how she always looks at him left and right, and it is the same kind of evasion. The mother and son couldn't find a better way to solve the problem that was about to arise, which was due to the relationship, the personality, and the emotion.

She was about to greet her son eagerly, but the sight in front of her swept away her excitement - Song Yingchen was stuffing clothes in the cloakroom into the box, and it was obvious that he was planning to leave.

"What are you doing?" She asked, an anxious and powerless mood pervading her body.

Song Yingchen didn't speak, didn't even look back, turned his back to her like a deaf person, and sorted out his clothes faster.

"Yingchen, mom is talking to you!" She deliberately raised her voice and posed with parental majesty.

But Song Yingchen still ignored it.

"Where are you going?"

Still no answer.

After no more than three years, she could no longer control the anger in her chest, kicked open the box, and stepped forward to grab his hand.

"Do you want to follow your father's example and leave me without saying a word?"
