Chapter 400: Playing Chess
Xiao Hansheng listened to Qiao Xi's words, did not open his mouth to refuse, but just nodded his head.
As long as it does not involve Qiao Xi's safety issues, Xiao Hansheng has always followed Qiao Xi's ideas and will not go against Qiao Xi's ideas at all.
After Qiao Xi agreed, he didn't say anything more to Xiao Hansheng, and the two went directly to Qiao Nalan's house while going directly to Jiang's house.
When I came to the Jiang family this time, the Jiang family was able to lose the excitement before and returned to a serious place.
Walking in the Jiang family's villa, Qiao Xi looked at the cold decoration around him, and his heart unconsciously tensed a little.
It was not until he walked to Mr. Jiang's study that the housekeeper stopped, then smiled at Qiao Xi, and respectfully made a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Jiang is waiting for you inside, if there is anything you need, you can tell me." ”
Qiao Xi listened to the old housekeeper's words, and immediately raised a gentle smile, and then said slowly, "It's okay, can you go and do your own business, I'll just go over by myself." ”
With that, Qiao Xi pushed open the door in front of him.
After pushing open the door in front of him, Qiao Xi also saw the old man in the room.
The old man sat in his chair, his serious face with a bit of exhaustion, as if he had aged much in this short day.
After seeing Qiao Xi walk in, Mr. Jiang also had a rare faint brilliance in his eyes, and then waved his hand lightly at Qiao Xi, motioning for her to sit in front of him.
Following Mr. Jiang's meaning, Qiao Xi sat down directly on the chair in front of him, and then his lips opened lightly, and he said slowly, "Mr. Jiang, you are looking for me." ”
"Hmm." Mr. Jiang replied lightly, and then looked at the chessboard on the side.
Looking at Mr. Jiang's reaction, Qiao Xi paused slightly, looked at the chessboard on the side, and his face became a little more subtle for a while, "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, if you don't like it, I'll give it away now." ”
As soon as Qiao Xi's words fell, Mr. Jiang also stood up, supported his body, shook his head gently towards Qingqing, and then slowly sat down in front of the chessboard, and continued to speak towards Qiao Xi, "No need, stay." ”
Saying that, Mr. Jiang also turned his gaze to Qiao Xi's face, looked at the surprise on Qiao Xi's face, and then chuckled unconsciously, and then slowly said, "I don't blame you for this matter, it's just that I didn't come out of it, but people can't always live in the past, don't you say?" ”
As he spoke, Mr. Jiang pinched the chess pieces in front of him.
It was just a slight movement, but it was a little tired, as if he had exhausted all of Jiang Shicheng's strength.
Qiao Xi looked at Mr. Jiang's reaction, and immediately felt a little worried in his heart.
But before he stepped forward to stop Mr. Jiang, he was directly stopped by the other party with a gesture.
"It's fine." As he spoke, Mr. Jiang slowly landed the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard on the side, and then opened his thin lips lightly and continued, "Do you want to know what happened at the beginning?" ”
Qiao Xi listened to Mr. Jiang's words, and just sat quietly in his place, listening to Mr. Jiang's words.
She knew very well, Jiang
The old gentleman is not only telling her now, but also telling himself.
"It's the story of my love for a woman, and you, really alike." Jiang Shicheng said, and also chuckled, and the smile in his eyes also made the tiredness and old age on his face seem to dissipate a lot, "But I didn't protect her, so I let her disappear directly under my eyelids." ”
Speaking of this, Mr. Jiang's tone was still calm, but Qiao Xi clearly felt the helplessness and sadness under this calm tone.
Zhu pursed his lips, Qiao Xi just looked at Jiang Shicheng quietly, with a bit of seriousness in his blue eyes, just listening quietly.
Jiang Shicheng didn't pay attention to Qiao Xi's reaction, but just continued to talk to himself, as if he was talking to himself.
"I wasn't discharged from the army at the beginning, I participated in a mission, I was an undercover agent at the time, but in fact, I had already been discovered, but I didn't know it." Jiang Shicheng said, with a little more self-deprecation in his tone, "I can only blame me for being young and frivolous, at that time, I also had such a chessboard in front of me, and the other party asked me to accompany him to play chess, at that time I already felt uneasy in my heart, but I still played that game of chess to the end according to my disguised identity, you know?" That game of chess, I won. ”
As he spoke, the smile in Jiang Shicheng's tone became a little thicker, but in Qiao Xi's ears, it was like crying with a score sheet.
Frowning slightly, Qiao Xi didn't interrupt Jiang Shicheng's words, but just listened quietly.
The next moment, Jiang Shicheng also continued to speak, "But the other party told me, did you win happiness?" Then he called out my name, and also put Lin'er, who was tortured at the time, in front of me, not herself, but a surveillance screen, when I was complacent about my mission, in fact, the other party was already shooting at Lin'er. ”
Saying that, Jiang Shicheng chuckled again, with a bit of chagrin and self-blame in his tone, and then continued, "It's a pity that I found out too late, I won that game of chess, but I lost something more important, everything can't come back, what I reject is not chess, nor anything else, I'm just afraid, afraid of everything related to the beginning." ”
"I'm afraid that Lin'er's matter will be mentioned, and then due to the pressure from my family, I still marry a wife and have children, and I'm sorry for her, so I simply sealed all the past things, but after all, I just deceived myself." Jiang Shicheng said, looking at Qiao Xi's eyes with a hint of helplessness, he chuckled lightly before continuing, "You are really similar to Lin'er, but you are not her, she has been gone for more than forty years, and it is time for me to come out." ”
Qiao Xi listened to Jiang Shicheng's words, and his eyes were a little more thoughtful.
At the beginning, Jiang Shicheng once asked her where she was from and where her family was from.
If you say Lin'er in Jiang Shicheng's mouth......
Thinking about it, Qiao Xi pursed his lips tightly, and looked at Jiang Shicheng's eyes with a little more thought.
After thinking for a while, Qiao Xi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looking at Jiang Shicheng's tired face, he finally swallowed back all the words that he had brought to his mouth.
"Whatever you want to ask, just ask." Jiang Shicheng looked at Qiao Xi, who was speechless on the side, just smiled slightly, and then spoke to him, "It's time for me to let go of the original matter." ”
Listening to Jiang Shicheng's words, Qiao Xi finally said what he wanted to ask, "Mr. Jiang, you asked me before, where is my family, can I ask now, what did you just say about Lin......'er?"
Without waiting for Qiao Xi to say the question in his heart, Jiang Shicheng on the side had already spoken again, and the initial solemnity and embarrassment in his eyes had been reduced at this time, and with a sense of relief, he continued to speak to Qiao Xi, "Lin'er is the girl I met in the mission, she is from country F, and her name is Jian Lin'er. ”
Qiao Xi listened to Jiang Shicheng's words, and the whole person was stunned, and then looked at Jiang Shicheng with a little surprise in his eyes.
There's a kind of ...... Unexpectedly, it seems to be a reasonable feeling, as if it should be like this.
"My mother is also from the Jian family, but it may not be directly related to the Jian Lin'er you mentioned." Qiao Xi said, looking at Jiang Shicheng's eyes, there was also a little more distress.
Not to mention anything else, just a big family like the Jane family, among them, there are many people who have no intersection at all, not to mention her mother, who is a lifetime away from Jian Lin'er and later came to live in country A.
Jiang Shicheng listened to Qiao Xi's words, just nodded his head with a little relief on his face, and then said slowly with thin lips, "I know, but I think, if I was still with Jian Lin'er at the beginning, our children's children might be like you, right?" ”
"Mr. Jiang, in fact, my hair and eyes are not like this." Qiao Xi looked at Jiang Shicheng's reaction, and there was a little apology in his eyes, "My hair was originally black, and so were my pupils, which became the way it is now because of some accidents later." ”
Listening to Qiao Xi's words, Mr. Jiang was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled with relief, "Whether it is or not, you are too far away from Jian Lin'er after all, I'm sorry for the incident at today's birthday banquet." ”
Mr. Jiang's voice was faint, but with a bit of openness and relief.
But hearing these words in Qiao Xi's ears, it still made her face with a trace of surprise and panic, and then hurriedly spoke, "No, Mr. Jiang, it was I who made your birthday banquet unpleasant, and I should apologize to you." ”
"This matter itself is my own problem, and I shouldn't cause you this kind of trouble because of this matter." Mr. Jiang said, and directly stretched out his hand to pull Qiao Xi to sit down in front of the chessboard, and then opened his thin lips lightly, and continued, "Whether you can find out the gift depends on your own wishes, I know that this matter was not done by you, but this chessboard is also very good, and it is not a waste." ”
Not only that, but it can be regarded as indirectly unraveling Jiang Shicheng's long-standing thoughts, and it can be regarded as unintentionally inserting willows into the willows.
Qiao Xi listened to Jiang Shicheng's words, his lips pursed, but he still spoke with a little firmness, "I will still investigate this matter." ”
As he spoke, Qiao Xi's blue eyes also had a bit of stubbornness. 、
Jiang Shicheng looked at the firmness in Qiao Xi's eyes, and finally just chuckled and shook his head, "Okay, don't talk about this, since you're here, do you know how to play chess?" ”
"A little." Qiao Xi listened to Jiang Shicheng's words, and he couldn't react for a while, "It's just a little fur." ”
"It's okay, I will, come and stay with me for a while." Jiang Shicheng said, and directly put away all the chess pieces on the chessboard, and made a gesture of please. 2k reading web
