In Shengxing Real Estate, the executives are sitting in the conference room with grim faces, talking to each other.

Half an hour later, Xian Xinchen's secretary Dylan came in and reported: "The general manager is not feeling well today, and the meeting has been cancelled."

As soon as Dylan spoke, they patted the documents and were dissatisfied:

"It's been a long time, tricking people!"

"That piece of land in Xicheng is going to fall into the mouth of the Huo family!"

"I don't care."

"If he is like this again, the position of general manager will be given to Xian"

……

The saliva of public opinion in the office almost drowned Xian Xinchen, who was drunk and dreamed of death, so that he couldn't even see his back.

Jiang Xiaomian would receive a call from Xian's father every time, and then her name and Xian Xinchen's name would be combined into one sentence.

"Xiaomian, do you know where Xinchen is?"

"Xiaomian, has Xinchen contacted you?"

"Xiaomian, bring him back to me after seeing Xinchen."

"Xiaomian...... Xinchen ......"

…

It seems like this is how the whole second half of the year has been.

She's also very helpless, she doesn't know where people are. Jiang Xiaomian didn't even have the heart to go to work, and Xiang Dongyang's father was not optimistic about heart disease, so two bad things happened at the same time.

If there's one good thing to pick, it's that she's getting married.

However, Xian Xiang's meaning is that they should also arrange two couples of weddings like the Huo family.

Jiang Xiaomian followed Xiang Dongyang.

Xian Xinchen followed Xiang Xiyan.

"Wish, is this what you want to see?"

Jiang Xiaomian kept thinking like this in her heart.

dragged a heavy mood to get off work, and when waiting for the elevator, Jiang Xiaomian's soft neck felt that the bones of the whole person had fallen apart, as if there would be a crisp sound of bones breaking in the next second.

"Oh, my Jiang Tesuke, why do you look like you have no love..."

Chi Yanghe's voice sounded behind him, and Jiang Xiaomian greeted with a smile: "Director Chi." ”

Every time Jiang Xiaomian called him like this, Chi Yanghe would glare at her, and then smile again.

Jiang Xiaomian knew that he hated calling him director. She doesn't know what the reason is, and she can't change it anyway, but she always feels that the name is awkward.

The three words "Chi Yanghe" are not as good as changing the name and directly calling "Director Chi". She also joked and suggested to Chi Yanghe, and Chi Yanghe's first reaction at that time was to contact the word "eunuch".

Jiang Xiaomian glanced at Chi Yanghe at that time, anyway, he changed his name to "Director Chi" and he was still a director, and he would not become a eunuch.

The elevator "ding", and there were only Jiang Xiaomian and Chi Yang and two people in the entire elevator.

Chi Yanghe smiled and said: "Since you are so tired and the New Year is approaching, do you want to make up for your annual leave?" ”

Jiang Xiaomian frowned, "Well, it's better not to." ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Haha, if I take annual leave, you look at the senior director, you can't follow your ass all day long. When I return, your head will be the size of two earths. ”

"Well, that's an exaggerated description, but that's true." Chi Yanghe nodded with a smile.

"Yanghe, can you do me a favor? Help me look up someone. ”

Jiang Xiaomian's serious words paused even the dust in the air.

"Good. What's his name. ”

"He Liu, a woman. A woman who has given birth. I'll send you my ID number on your phone. ”

The name that Jiang Xiaomian blurted out was also the name that came out after turning over old things at home for a long time.

Chi Yanghe nodded.

A few days later, they made an appointment at the café, and Chi Yanghe put the information in front of her.

When Jiang Xiaomian opened it and looked at it, the above information showed:

He Liu, age 49, hometown: Changnan

In 1989, he married Xian Xiuyuan, and in 2000, Shengxing Real Estate went bankrupt, and the two announced their divorce.

In the year of the divorce, He Liu went to France and married the heirs of a foreign company.

In 2002, the current husband was imprisoned for tax evasion, and the two divorced peacefully.

In 2010, He Liu returned to China and settled in Beijing, where his life was relatively embarrassing.

In 2013, it moved from Beijing to Changnan.

She worked as a nurse at Changnan Hospital and became a bone marrow donor the following year.

In 2018, I went to Yandou Town in the name of a nurse and stayed in a family with a surname for four months.

Jiang Xiaomian saw the photo attached under the text, and the photo was not unfamiliar at all.

is Aunt He in Tan Yu's mouth, and she is also the woman Jiang Xiaomian has bumped into her several times. And the woman who went to Rock Bean Town that time, but didn't see it again.

According to the time and year listed on the information, Jiang Xiaomian understood, it turned out that she had always been by our side.

silently didn't show up, maybe he was ashamed of his ex-husband and son. Jiang Xiaomian thought about it and stopped at the last line.

Bone marrow donor?

With tears in her eyes, she asked Chi Yanghe, "Can you find out the name of the donor?"

Chi Yanghe shook his head and said, "There is no way to obtain the hospital's files, those belong to the advanced privacy level. But it's not clueless, and the attending doctor who was able to visit that year was named Tan Yu. ”

Because Jiang Xiaomian already had this probability in her consciousness, she didn't show an unexpected expression, but accepted it very calmly, and after thinking about the truth, all this still made people feel a little unexpected.

Chi Yanghe saw Jiang Xiaomian thoughtfully and asked, "She is your Uncle Xian's ex-wife, why do you want to check her information?" Or has she intervened in your lives? Or are you here to make trouble and rob the family property? After all, there are quite a lot of such people in the world. ”

Jiang Xiaomian tore the information to shreds and threw it into the trash can, without any unpleasant expression. She said: "It's not what you think, but she has been hiding and not meeting everyone, and I don't know if she is silently making up for a lot of things out of guilt." I think maybe one day in the future, she will do us a favor. ”

Hearing her say this, Chi Yanghe didn't care too much, but he noticed the ring on Jiang Xiaomian's hand. He also didn't know when she had an extra ring on her hand.

Chi Yanghe's eyes hid the trace of sadness, and asked with a smile: "Did Dong Yang propose to you?" Without waiting for Jiang Xiaomian to answer, he said again, "Xiaomian, you are not righteous enough, and you don't tell me, I am still your good friend." ”

Jiang Xiaomian replied with a smile: "This is what happened yesterday." ”

"Is the wedding date set?"

She wiped her ears, and her eyes suddenly became sloppy, "Because of my brother's affairs, I haven't made much peace yet, which makes the two families embarrassed." ”

"As a boss and a friend, I don't have any wedding gifts to give you, so if you don't dislike it, I'll design your wedding dress for you."

Jiang Xiaomian's brain was stunned when he heard it, because this gift was too heavy. She looked at Chi Yanghe in front of her, and his words didn't look like a joke at all.

"I didn't expect you to give such a big gift."

Chi Yanghe's smile just now faded a little, "Or have you prepared in advance?" ”

Jiang Xiaomian smiled and said, "I only have a drawing." ”

"That's enough, give it to me."

With a few simple words, Jiang Xiaomian suddenly had an indescribable feeling. If it's just an employee's wedding, at most, it's a gesture of gratitude with a little more gift money. Chi Yanghe's approach made Jiang Xiaomian feel as flattered as if he had been fed a bowl of rice by the President of the United States.

"Oh, no need, the drawings are in Dongyang, and he hasn't given an opinion yet."

Chi Yanghe also knew that he was bored with himself, so he lowered his head slightly and smiled: "Okay, then you can hand it over to the workshop when you make it." ”

Since Jiang Xiaomian learned about He Liu, in the face of his family, he always felt that he was carrying a secret as heavy as a stone, so he suffered until the end of the year.

At the end of the year, when they woke up, all the people of Changnan cheered.

Because the god of snow has descended on Changnan. Their cheers were like those of Hong Kong's return to China in 1997.

Although it was only a small amount of snow, it only fell for one day and one night.

Snowflakes sprinkled from the gray and gray sky, and everything in the world was silent, accumulating a thin layer of snow. They stepped on the snow, and the tooth marks on the soles of their shoes were dented, and the outline of the footprints reflected on the ground could be clearly seen.

Xiang Dongyang and Jiang Xiaomian walked under the snow, holding each other's arms, and then each put their hands tightly into their coat pockets. Passing under the kapok tree, snowflakes drifted over the kapok branches and fell on their heads.

"Xiaomian, look, we're so white-headed."

"Yes, we're still young, we're already old."

"Dongyang, is this the first time you've seen snow?"

"It's the first time I've seen snow in Changnan, and when I was in the U.S., I could see snow every year, and it was much thicker than that."

Jiang Xiaomian looked up and saw the snow piled on the bald kapok branches, and the whole tree looked like an old man with goosebumps. It was the first time they had seen snow fall on the kapok tree, and at that moment, Jiang Xiaomian felt that the world was awkward. It's like a summer insect encountering frost and ice, the Antarctic land is full of summer flowers, the heaven and the earth are reversed by the four seasons of yin and yang, and the five poles of Qiankun are reversed.

If the snow was thicker, she was really afraid that the kapok at Changnan's Pai Pai Station would freeze to death.

But there are really people who have froze to death. Not one or two, but a living piece.

A few months ago, Xiang Dongyang and Jiang Xiaomian contracted a piece of land in Nancheng to raise kapok seedlings, because the roots were not deep, they were destroyed by the winter snow in Changnan and not a single seedling was left. Jiang Xiaomian was very sad, and comforted her to Dongyang and said that it didn't matter, the next year would not be so cold, and if she replanted it in the spring, she would definitely survive.

Yes, it won't be so cold next year, it must not be so cold.

The winter in Changnan is so cold from the last time, when should it be? Oh, yes, it's Jiang Xiaomian's first year in college. It was so cold that winter that it barely snowed.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xian Xinchen finally returned to the Xian family with a taste of wine. At the Xian family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Father Xian asked him with a cold face: "Xinchen, your sister's matter with Dongyang has been finalized, how long do you want to delay the matter with Xiyan?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Xiaomian quietly glanced at Xian Xinchen, really afraid that he would start a fire in the next second.

"I'm not going to marry her." Xian Xinchen's words were surprisingly calm.

Father Xian was not angry. The father and son seem destined to quarrel and disagree over this matter for the rest of their lives.

Bai Mu didn't speak again beside her.

The air was lifeless, like being drowned in the Dead Sea, and anyone who struggled would sink to the surface of the Dead Sea.

Father Xian sighed and said: "Your Uncle Xiang is not in good health, the Xiang family has been holding up half of the sky on the Xiang side for a while, and it is not a long time for Dong Yang to start the company." Their major shareholders have begun to eye the position of chairman, and I don't think they have all started to have civil strife. ”

Xian Xinchen's words began to resound: "You mean that the two families will marry to consolidate the Xiang clan?" Dad, don't forget, when Sheng Xing had an accident back then, Xiang Yan didn't know where to hide and turn a blind eye! ”

"Hey, Xiaomian is here, you pay attention to your words." Father Xian said and knocked on the table with chopsticks and calculated carefully: "You think about yourself, how long have people been waiting for you, when you didn't care about the company, how much did Xiyan help Sheng Xing, if you don't mention it for too long, I will mention to you the nearest Xicheng Development Zone, that piece of land was originally going to be eaten by the Huo family, and it wasn't Xiyan anymore..."

"Dad!" Xinchen interrupted him with a word.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was unpleasant.

"Knock Knock"

Jiang Xiaomian knocked on Xian Xinchen's door, "Brother..."

"The door is unlocked, come in."

Jiang Xiaomian pushed the door and went in, and saw Xian Xinchen sitting on the ground fiddling with the photo album. Those are all old photos of him and Wu Yuanhao, and the piles of photos have accumulated very thickly.

Jiang Xiaomian exhaled a long breath, "I haven't had a chance to ask you, do you blame Xi Yan for wishing for good things?" ”

"Weird." Xian Xinchen replied very simply, and then her tone became slightly annoyed, "She said that if she did it all over again, even if I blamed her, she would still make that choice." How can you not blame me! ”

"It shows that Xi Yan is very real, and in the face of love, people who are not selfish are hypocritical."

Xian Xinchen's low eyes finally raised, "What about you?" Have you ever been selfish for Xiang Dongyang? ”

Jiang Xiaomian sneered, "Yes." ”

"You and him are expected to be, there is no hindrance, you should be happy about it." As he spoke, he busied himself with the photo in his hand.

Is there really nothing in the way? Li Xiaohuan's name appeared inexplicably in Jiang Xiaomian's brain.

She frowned heavily, and suddenly saw an old photograph in the pile of photographs, yellowed and old. The woman in the photo is particularly strange and familiar with the little boy.

"Is this you and your mother?"

"Yes."

"Do you miss her?"

Xian Xinchen drooped his eyelids, Jiang Xiaomian sat a little higher than him, and when he looked over, he only saw his long eyelashes covering all the light emanating from his eyes, and he couldn't see what kind of look he was looking at when he mentioned his mother.

I heard his cold words: "I think she is dead, and I only think of her every year during the Qingming Festival." It's just that there is no grave for her to burn paper money. ”

Jiang Xiaomian took a breath of cold air, this was also the first time they talked about his mother, "Mother is a mother after all, no matter what, she loves you." ”

"I'll tell you something, I didn't tell my dad about it. The woman who abandoned her husband and children, the last time I saw her, it didn't look like her from a distance, and when I got closer, I realized that it was really her. ”

It turned out that they had already met, and Jiang Xiaomian asked again: "Then have you spoken?"

"Nope."

There is no emotional temperature to answer.

Can Jiang Xiaomian use "iron-hearted" to describe the current Xian Xinchen? But those things didn't happen to her, and she didn't want to comment on them.

Xian Xinchen placed the picture of his mother at the end of the album, and the visual neglect projected from the eyes added a ruthless color to the shadow of the photo.

His expression seemed to be remembering something, and he thought about it before he spoke: "I couldn't have imagined it myself, the picture was ironic when I met her." She was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, leaning against the company downstairs in the tall mansion. The exact opposite of the day she left when I was a child, she was young and pretty. ”

Jiang Xiaomian pursed her lips and didn't speak, she reached over and pulled out the photo to look at it, and Xian Xinchen in the photo was only up to the base of his mother's thigh. At that time, his mother was so young and beautiful, and she was amazed when she saw the beauties of Hong Kong dramas.

A few minutes later, Jiang Xiaomian's words had a regretful meaning: "She ages quickly."

"yes, I was shocked when I saw her."

Jiang Xiaomian made up his mind and put his tone very cautiously: "They all say that people who have donated bone marrow will age quickly, and it seems that this statement is true."

Xian Xinchen's gaze began to become angry because of her words. Like a person who desperately begged for help when he died, he suddenly heard a response and asked, "What donate bone marrow?"

"Back then, she was the one who gave the wish for good bone marrow, and the nurse who took care of her at Doctor Tan's house was also her, that is, the nanny you mentioned when you tried food at Dr. Tan's house, they were all the same person, and they were also your mother."

Xian Xinchen took the photo from Jiang Xiaomian's hand, squeezed it tightly in his hand, and frowned, "So, for so many years, she has been by my side?" Living where we can't see her? ”

"Well, to be precise, living where we ignore her."

After Jiang Xiaomian finished speaking, he took Xian Xinchen's mobile phone, stored He Liu's number in his address book, typed the word "mother" on the keyboard, and then handed him the mobile phone.

"Go find her, Aunt He must have something to say to you, I think, that should also be a good wish." Jiang Xiaomian left the room after finishing speaking.

Time flies by in a hurry, and many things become a layer of dust, and when they are gently flicked, they have edges and corners. You know, oh, that's what happened.

In the next few days, maybe Xian Xinchen went to find his mother, maybe Xian Xinchen figured it out, maybe he was disheartened...

But Jiang Xiaomian didn't know what He Liu said to Xian Xinchen.

Jiang Xiaomian guessed that Wu Yuanhao had stayed with He Liu for so long, maybe all these things that he should know in his lifetime had already been known, and what he left was nothing more than to let Xian Xinchen not disappoint Xiang Xiyan.

Regardless of whether these mean or not, in short, Xian Xinchen agreed to the marriage contract with Xiang Xiyan, but his request was that the wedding date was set in three years.

It was delayed for another three years for no apparent reason.

Mr. Xian insisted that this was his last concession.

Despite this, the Xian Xiang family still happily prepared for the marriage of Jiang Xiaomian and Xiang Dongyang. The date of the wedding was set for the winter and the date was set on March 20th.
