"Why do you do that?" Lu Qinglan looked at Xia Xinting in front of her, and suddenly felt that she was very unfamiliar, no, she should have been unfamiliar for a long time.

"Sister Lan, I'm sorry...... I ......" Xia Xinting had thousands of words in her heart, but when she saw the deep disappointment in her eyes, they were all blocked in her throat, and she couldn't go up and down, as if an invisible hand grabbed her neck, making her uncomfortable and the things she cared about dissipated together.

"I'm sorry ......" for a long time, she lowered her head weakly, and said this in a low voice, and at the same time, her lips had already been bitten by herself, and she would feel afraid at first glance.

"Don't tell me you're sorry." Lu Qinglan snorted self-deprecatingly, glanced over and looked out the window, the sun was very good today, everything seemed so vibrant, but her heart was extremely sad, "I just want to know why." ”

A sad atmosphere lingered in front of the two, and in the end, Xia Xinting still raised her head, her eyes were blank, and she sobbed quietly: "My brother is sick, and the surgery fee alone will cost a lot of money, and the burden of the family is all on me alone, Editor-in-Chief Ling found me, as long as I do things for her, I will help my brother, Sister Lan, I was very conflicted at that time, I didn't want to agree, but my parents begged me, my brother also needs that money, I, I really can't ......"

In the end, her tears kept falling like pearls with broken threads, drop after drop, dripping on her pants, dripping on the ground, each drop seemed to make a clear sound.

Lu Qinglan told herself in her heart not to turn her head, but those voices were like amplification, drifting into her ears, it was difficult to ignore it, she moved her lips, and subconsciously she wanted to speak, but she still held back.

Xia Xinting's voice became more and more choked, she wanted to say everything, even if she would not be forgiven: "I didn't get the interview with General Bai Lao, and Editor-in-Chief Ling wanted to take this opportunity to send me to you, asking me to gain your trust and listen to her arrangement, I did two things in total, deleted Gu Shao's interview, and the other was to send out the manuscript, I'm sorry, Sister Lan, I'm really sorry......"

"Don't say I'm sorry anymore." His fingers moved uncontrollably slightly, Lu Qinglan pulled the corners of his mouth, and still didn't look at her, "When I knew it was you, my first reaction was to refuse to believe it, I still remember when I was in Kwai Yu, you were my assistant, and when I saw you at that time, it was like seeing myself who had just graduated back then, and most importantly, you were very motivated and hardworking, so I trusted you, and I regarded you as a sister in my heart, but what about the facts...... When I asked your brother how he was doing, and if he needed help, why didn't you say it? ”

She turned her head and stared at Xia Xinting's already crying face, feeling very sad: "I have been telling myself in my heart to give you a chance, but in the end, you still sent the manuscript out, when I saw your actions in the monitor, do you know what I was thinking?" I'm thinking, Lu Qinglan, you're so stupid. ”

Xia Xinting's face became more and more pale, she cried even more fiercely, and shook her head vigorously: "Don't say Sister Lan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......."

"No more sorry." wanted to hand her the napkin, but in the end she couldn't help it, Lu Qinglan looked at her and said word by word, "No one else in the company will know that you did it, and no one else in this industry will know about it, you can resign yourself, change companies or change industries are up to you, I will not keep you by my side." ”

I had long thought that this would be the result, but when I really heard it, Xia Xinting's sadness was still beyond her imagination: "Sister Lan......"

Stopping what she wanted to say next, Lu Qinglan stood up with an expressionless face: "This is the last thing I can do for you." Xia Xinting, the trust between people before, once there is a crack, it is difficult to repair it. ”

After speaking, Xia Xinting's face was completely bloodless, and she knew that whether it was shame or regret, nothing could be changed.

"Sister Lan!" As if she had made a decision, she suddenly stopped Lu Qinglan's back and shouted, "It's Bai Shu and Ling Wei who are looking for me together!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Qinglan just paused, and then left without looking back.

Behind her, Xia Xinting leaned on the sofa as if she had lost all her strength, and for a long time, she buried her face in her palms and cried quietly.

Lu Qinglan, who was out of Peninsula Coffee, called a taxi on the side of the road, she didn't want to go back to the company, she was very upset, and when the driver told her, she found that she had come to the door of the city government.

Paid the money and got out of the car, looking up at the building in front of her, Lu Qinglan pinched her mobile phone and hesitated to call Ye Tingshen, there were two villains arguing in her heart, one was called reason and the other was emotional.

Emotionally said: "Fight, aren't you here just to see him, what's wrong with seeing a man when you're in a bad mood?" ”

But reason said, "He's at work, why can't he go home at night?" Do you have to bother him? ”

Just when she was extremely entangled, a voice that was not unfamiliar sounded a meter away: "Madam, the mayor asked me to invite you up." ”

"Secretary Xu......" Lu Qinglan smiled embarrassedly, thought about it, and asked uncertainly, "Ting Shen......

Xu Cheng politely explained, and made an inviting gesture: "The mayor has seen you, it's still lunch break, it's okay." ”

He was like this, and Lu Qinglan was even more embarrassed: "I'm sorry for you." ”

Xu Cheng took her directly to Ye Tingshen's office, knocked on the door and left first.

In the office, Ye Tingshen beckoned to Lu Qinglan: "Qinglan, come here." ”

Lu Qinglan found that the sadness and sadness that were obviously well hidden came out after seeing him, and the love in his deep eyes as always, turned those into grievances in her heart.

Ting Shen ......" She walked over and reached out to hug his waist, as if this was the only way to make herself feel better, as long as he was around.

Ye Tingshen didn't say anything, but increased the intensity of hugging her, so that they were closer to each other.

This silent comfort is the tacit understanding of the two.

After a while, Lu Qinglan let go of his embrace, but deliberately coquettished him: "Why don't you ask me what's wrong?" ”

Knowing that her expression like this meant that she was fine, Ye Ting's deep eyes were full of smiles, pinched her cheeks, and he learned her tone and said, "May I ask Mrs. Ye, what's wrong with you?" Who bullied you? Tell me, I'll help you bully back. ”

"you, it's always not serious!" Lu Qinglan was amused by him, her mood was much better, she took a deep breath, she pressed her face to his chest, "Ting Shen, it's good to have you by your side." ”

She doesn't want much, as long as the person she loves can give her a hug at any time.

"I'll always be there for you." Holding her face with both hands, he didn't need to move, his affection could always drown her.

"Yes!" Lu Qinglan nodded happily, and the next moment, she stood on tiptoe and kissed his warm lips, learning the movements he had taught her in the past, tossing and turning.

At the end of the kiss, she smiled at the corners of her mouth and panted.

"Knock knock......" The rhythmic knock on the door interrupted Ye Tingshen's desire to continue.

"Mayor, Secretary Xia is here." Xu Cheng said dutifully outside the door.

Secretary Xia?

Lu Qinglan suddenly remembered the banquet some time ago, as well as his wife.

Ye Tingshen probably guessed what she was thinking, and said out loud: "Let's go out to eat in the evening and wait for me after work." ”

"Okay."

When Secretary Xia entered the door, Lu Qinglan was about to go out, even if she went out, she seemed to be able to feel Secretary Xia's unpredictable sight.

City Hospital, 3rd floor of the inpatient department.

After Xia Xinting confirmed that she couldn't see any traces of crying outside the door, she squeezed out a smile and pushed open the door of the ward, inside, there was her younger brother, before coming, she made a decision, she was going to transfer her brother to the hospital, and the doctor also said that it was no big deal, she didn't want to help Bai Shu Lingwei do anything, her conscience had been condemned.

However, she never thought that her brother was not in bed!

"Brother!" Xia Xinting felt that her heart was about to jump out! Why is my brother missing? Where did it go?

She panicked all of a sudden, her first reaction was to be afraid, she couldn't help but think, could it be because she didn't finish what they had told them, so she took her brother away?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, she couldn't stay any longer, and turned around to find her brother.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned her head, she saw two people standing at the door, with a faint smile on their faces.

"Mom! Brother! Where have you been?! Xia Xinting rushed up and hugged her brother in her arms, and tears flowed down her eyes.

The younger brother clumsily patted Xia Xinting's back and tried to comfort: "Sister, don't cry, my mother took me to bask in the sun, I'm sorry for making you anxious." ”

Xia Xinting hugged her tighter: "It's okay, it's okay if you're okay." ”

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Mother Xia on the side thought that she had been wronged outside, so she hurriedly stepped forward to hug her.

"Mom, I'm fine." Xia Xinting wiped away her tears and shook her head, thought about it, and said, "Mom, I thought about it, let's transfer to the hospital, I asked the doctor, even if I am discharged now, there is no problem." ”

She didn't want to be in this hospital anymore, she was afraid that Bai Shu and Ling Wei would come over.

"Transfers? Why do you want to transfer to the hospital? Xia's mother couldn't understand what her daughter was thinking, and after thinking about it in pieces, she suddenly thought of one thing, and immediately smiled, "Are you afraid that hospitalization here is too expensive?" Girl, don't worry about this, the doctor said that someone has already paid the hospitalization fee behind us! ”

"What?!" Xia Xinting's eyes widened, and her heart was about to pop out, she immediately thought of Bai Shu, and a sense of fear rushed from the soles of her feet to her whole body.

Xia's mother didn't see that something was wrong with her, and she still said to herself: "Originally, the doctor refused to say who it was, but then I couldn't help it, so I told me what my surname was, hey, what's the surname?" Look at my brain, I forgot again. What's the last name? Oh, by the way, it's the last name ......"
