Shi Shi's temper was a little anxious, if he knew that Sun Yao was threatening him with her, maybe he would go directly to the fight.

He didn't want Shi Shi to take risks.

Shi Shi pestered him for a while and asked, and his answers were all like that.

In the end, Shi Shi had no choice but to give up.

Coming out of the café, Shi Shi happened to meet Qiao Ruoqing.

"Shi Shi? How did you end up here? As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lin Lang coming out from behind, and she immediately understood, "Come to see Lin Lang?" ”

"Nope." Shi Shi replied, sullen, and didn't glance at Lin Lang.

Qiao Ruoqing understood.

It seems that the young couple should have quarreled.

Lin Lang also knew that Shi Shi was angry with herself, and wanted to give her a little time to calm down, so he didn't coax her immediately, but just asked Qiao Ruoqing: "Mr. Qiao, how is Mr. Huo?" ”

He was still more worried about Huo Jingyuan, and he was indeed a little reluctant in his heart.

The smile on Qiao Ruoqing's face faded a little, but soon resurfaced, "It's nothing, he's fine." ”

Knowing that Lin Lang was also one of the people in charge of this bidding, Qiao Ruoqing was afraid that he would be under too much pressure, so she comforted him: "Lin Lang, don't think too much, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't take it too seriously, just win it back next time." ”

"I know, thank you, Mr. Qiao." Lin Lang replied.

Qiao Ruoqing nodded, and looked at Shi Shi again, "Let's go back to the company." ”

Shi Shi drooped her head, nodded sullenly, and followed Qiao Ruoqing in the direction of the parking lot.

On the road, Shi Shi was driving, and Qiao Ruoqing was sitting in the back row, looking at Shi Shi's side face.

Usually this little girl talks a lot, and she likes to watch gossip, and she almost has no time to talk about, why is she so quiet today? Something unusual!

The windows on all sides were closed, Qiao Ruoqing felt that the car was a little stuffy and uncomfortable, and she was afraid that she would vomit out, so she opened the window a crack.

The wind poured in through the crack in the window, and Qiao Ruoqing immediately felt that the air was much better, so she asked Shi Shi, "What's wrong?" You quarreled with Lin Lang? ”

"Nope." Don't look at Shi Shi's absent-minded appearance, she answers questions quite quickly.

Qiao Ruoqing smiled, "Then don't look like that, I'm scared to death, there are pregnant women in your car, drive attentively." ”

What she said was a complete joke, but Shi Shi didn't dare to take it lightly at all, so she could only concentrate.

Qiao Ruoqing waited for a while, but didn't hear Shi Shi's voice, and replied affirmatively in her heart: Shi Shi must have something on her mind, otherwise she just said that, how could Shi Shi not give her back, or brag about how good her driving skills are?

In this way, Qiao Ruoqing's heart couldn't help but sink a little, and she stopped joking, and her tone was much more serious than just now: "Shi Shi, tell me honestly, what happened?" ”

"It's okay." This time, Shi Shi immediately replied, "I don't have anything, what can I do?" Totally fine! ”

As if he was afraid that Qiao Ruoqing would not believe it, Shi Shi said while smiling in the rearview mirror and revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, looking stupid.

Qiao Ruoqing: "......"

This denies the triple connection!

But the more Shi Shi is like this, the more she feels that something is wrong.

"Is it related to Lin Lang?" Qiao Ruoqing asked.

"Nope." Shi Shi replied in seconds, and then persuaded him, "Ruoqing, don't ask, I'm really fine." ”

She said so, Qiao Ruoqing had no choice but to stop talking, and turned her head to look out the window.

Shi Shichong glanced in the rearview mirror, and saw Qiao Ruoqing looking at the backward scenery outside the window with a calm expression, and the shadows of the trees kept making long shadows on her, and she was relieved.

Fortunately, Qiao Ruoqing didn't ask.

In fact, it wasn't that she wanted to hide it from Qiao Ruoqing, but she didn't know what to say.

Although she suspected that Lin Lang had something to do with this incident, there was no evidence, what if she made a mistake?

So, she can only avoid and ...... You have to reduce contact with Qiao Ruoqing.

With such an idea in his heart, after returning to the company, Shi Shi asked for leave, and not with Qiao Ruoqing, but with Zhou Liang, and asked Zhou Liang not to tell Qiao Ruoqing first.

……

In the evening, Qiao Ruoqing and Huo Jingyuan went back to Huo's house for dinner.

Xu Wen went to Qiao's house, so it was Tang Lan who cooked, and there were also two servants to help, Qiao Ruoqing originally wanted to go to the kitchen to help wash the vegetables, but was immediately invited out by Tang Lan.

Huo Jingyuan also helped Qiao Ruoqing to the living room, and said half-jokingly: "Don't go in and make trouble for your mother." ”

The more Qiao Ruoqing heard this, the more she felt that she was discriminating against herself, and immediately glanced at Huo Jingyuan to express her dissatisfaction.

Huo Jingyuan smiled, didn't speak, sat next to her and peeled pistachios for her, peeled them and put them on a plate for her to eat.

Huo Jiang watched from the sidelines, originally not wanting to disturb the little couple, but he still couldn't help but say, "Jing Yuan, you go to the study with me." Dream Literature Network

Huo Jingyuan then stood up, rubbed Qiao Ruoqing's hair, and said softly, "Wait for me here." ”

Seeing Qiao Ruoqing nodding at herself obediently, Huo Jingyuan raised his feet and went upstairs.

In the study, Huo Jingyuan sat on a chair, hanging his head slightly, thoughtful.

Huo Jingyuan stood in front of Huo Jiang, stared at him for a while, and saw that Huo Jiang hadn't spoken yet, so he asked himself, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

He guessed that Huo Jiang should have known about the company's bid failure.

Sure enough, Huo Jiang's words were: "I heard about the company." That Sun Yao hadn't heard of it before, not from Jiang Cheng? ”

"I came to Jiangcheng from the imperial capital not long ago." Huo Jingyuan replied very carefully, "I knew Wu Shan before, and I seem to have a little friendship. ”

As soon as he said this, Huo Jiang understood.

It is not impossible to say that Huo's tree is a big move, but the people who dare to work against Huo's family when they just come from other places are a minority after all, unless there is some grudge.

"What about Jiang Mingxuan? Did he look for you again? Huo Jiang asked again.

Huo Jingyuan shook his head, "He's been busy making his movies recently." ”

I want to deal with Qiao Ruoqing.

Huo Jiang's eyebrows drooped again.

Although he is in his early fifties, he is well-maintained and has a fitness habit, he looks different from ordinary people in his fifties, there is no excess fat on his body, and he looks very energetic, and his face is even younger.

It's just that the face that is young and somewhat similar to Huo Jingyuan now shows a little sadness.

Seeing that Huo Jiang's expression was wrong, Huo Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Dad, is something wrong?" ”

Huo Jiang looked at Huo Jingyuan again, and then noticed that Huo Jingyuan was actually standing, and pointed to the chair next to him, "You sit first." ”

Huo Jingyuan then sat down, his back straight, his sitting posture was standard, and he waited for Huo Jiang's next words.

Huo Jiang's expression dodged for a while, then took another sip of tea, and then sighed, "I didn't tell you anything about it when I was young, but now, it's time to tell you." ”

Huo Jingyuan was slightly stunned.

He always thought that his father started doing business when he was young, and then laid down the family business of the Huo family, and he never doubted it.

But judging from his father's expression now, it seems that there is something he doesn't know.

Huo Jingyuan didn't speak, just waited for Huo Jiang's next words, and Huo Jiang also told Huo Jingyuan what happened thirty years ago.

At that time, Huo Jiang was not a businessman, he was a bastard in the rivers and lakes, and the legendary people didn't talk much, and they climbed to the position of the third in command of the club at a young age.

At that time, the second-in-command of the club was Jiang Mingxuan.

Their boss's surname is Gao, he knows people well, and he is very optimistic about Huo Jiang, so he has always been good to him, and he has been promoting Huo Jiang.

Later, Huo Jiang met Tang Lan, Tang Lan was still in school at that time, the same age as a flower, and her thinking was simple, she played and laughed with a few classmates every day, and after just one glance, Huo Jiang liked it.

For Tang Lan, Huo Jiang wanted to withdraw from the club, but at that time, Jiang Mingxuan was fighting for power with Boss Gao, Boss Gao wanted to keep Huo Jiang, Huo Jiang refused, resigned from Boss Gao's kindness, and on the day he left, Boss Gao's people arrested Tang Lan and threatened Huo Jiang to continue to help him.

When Huo Jiang heard the news, he ran to save Tang Lan, and was inadvertently bumped into by Jiang Mingxuan, Jiang Mingxuan was very angry at the time, and said that he was very disdainful of what the boss did, so he followed Huo Jiang angrily, and also helped Huo Jiang block a knife, cut him on his right arm, and stitched more than a dozen stitches.

Speaking of this, Huo Jiang couldn't help but recall the knife wound on Jiang Mingxuan's arm.

His expression darkened a little, and then he said just now: "At that time, I was worried about your mother's safety, and I didn't think much about it, thinking that the boss did it, and after rescuing your mother, I went to find the boss, and I was plotted against by someone as soon as I entered the door, and I was angry......"

The rest of the words, Huo Jiang did not say.

But even so, from his frowning brows and complicated expression, Huo Jingyuan could guess what happened that day.

Huo Jiang pinched the bridge of his nose and continued: "After the boss died, Jiang Mingxuan took over all the business of the group as a matter of course, but I was almost executed by the group for the crime of 'deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors'. ”

Huo Jingyuan remembered that when Huo Jiang asked him to cooperate with Jiang Yuan, he said that he owed the Jiang family a favor before.

So, he guessed: "It was Jiang Mingxuan who saved you?" ”

Huo Jiang nodded, but there was no blood on his face, Huo Jingyuan could see that this matter was probably not as simple as it seemed.

"At that time, Jiang Mingxuan put pressure on the people in the group and gave me a way out, and originally wanted me to go back to work in the group, but I refused, so he gave me a sum of money and let me leave the club. Since then, we haven't seen each other again until some time ago, when he appeared in Jiangcheng. ”

Over the years, they haven't even had any contact, or that time Jiang Yuan wanted to cooperate with Huo Jingyuan, but Huo Jingyuan refused, Jiang Mingxuan called him and he knew that the original club had now become a family business and a legitimate business group.

In the matter between the elders, Huo Jingyuan felt that it was inappropriate for him to ask too much, so he didn't ask.

However, since Huo Jiang told him all those things, he naturally didn't mean to hide it from him.

Looking at Huo Jingyuan, Huo Jiang also said the rest of the things: "A few years later, I saw a brother back then, and after listening to him, I realized that in fact, the person who kidnapped your mother in the first place was not the boss at all. ”

Huo Jingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is it Jiang Mingxuan?" ”

Seeing Huo Jiang nodding, Huo Jingyuan's hand tightened a little.

What a trick to borrow a knife to kill!

Just knew that he was being used, and Jiang Mingxuan put Tang Lan in danger in order to achieve his goal, Huo Jiang originally wanted to take revenge, but at that time Huo Jingyuan was still young, he had just started kindergarten, the company had just improved, and Tang Lan persuaded him, Huo Jiang finally gave up.
