Chapter 40 Love and Enemies and Old Friends
This street is not so busy, probably because most of the shops here are educational institutions.
He Xinlian's car stopped in front of a store without a signboard, she got out of the car, and Lan Jiaying and He Zihao got out of the car closely after her.
Lan Jiaying looked up at the faΓ§ade and asked, "Mom?" What is it here? β
"Yes, her behavior has always been low-key, but she is very high-profile on the inside." He Xinlian said and went inside, Lan Jiaying and He Zihao hurriedly followed.
At the staircase on the second floor, a woman with long straight hair was waiting for He Xinlian, and when she saw He Xinlian coming up, she smiled and said, "Xinlian, you are old." β
He Xinlian looked up at the man and smiled: "Yes, the children are so old, can they not be old?" Who can compare with you, you are young and immortal, right, Xiao Yuren. β
Xiao Yuren raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. She has not been married all these years, and she has the capital to laugh at He Xinlian, because she is young. And He Xinlian also has the capital to ridicule Xiao Yuren, that is, she has a family, a job and a daughter.
"Let's stop bickering here, come on. You're still the same old man, and you like to argue with people. Xiao Yuren was not angry, she was still very happy to see her old classmates.
He Xinlian took Lan Jiaying and He Zihao to the second floor, and Xiao Yuren had already made coffee for them.
"It's rare that you took the initiative to find me and say what is the matter." Xiao Yuren is straight to the point.
He Xinlian smiled slightly: "The matter we came to you must be something that you can easily solve." β
"Don't you say that, what if I can't fix it? I'm not going to give you any promises. Xiao Yu is humane.
He Xinlian said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's my nephew Zihao, he fell in love with a woman who was much older than him, that woman was mature and realistic, and we wanted to ask how we could get her favor, from a psychological point of view. β
Xiao Yuren looked at He Xinlian suspiciously, and she asked, "Only this is the simplest?" We've been classmates for many years, and I can see if you've told you everything. If you don't tell me the whole story, how can I solve the problem for you? β
The woman in front of her was too shrewd, and she knew it from the time they were in college. She had planned to tell her the truth of the matter.
"Moreover, that woman is Qi Shengji's lover." He Xinlian spat out the most important sentence.
Xiao Yuren's smile froze on his face. She looked at He Zihao, then at He Xinlian, and asked with a straight face: "He Xinlian, are you crazy?" Your nephew is young and ignorant, are you not sensible either? You're not playing with fire, you're playing with hot oil. If you are on fire, you can also take off your clothes to save your life, and if you get hot oil, you will take off a layer of skin, and if you are heavy, you will be cooked. β
He Xinlian knew that Xiao Yuren would say this. She sighed and made a look of embarrassment: "Yuren, you may have heard that the Lan family's business is not as good as before. If I can't fill this hole, then the Lan family will be finished. β
Xiao Yuren looked at He Xinlian, she knew that her words were not finished yet.
"I have checked Yao Yulan's details, Qi Shengji does not restrict her, if I can let the Qi family help her in the Lan family's business through Yao Yulan, I will be grateful to you." Not only He Xinpi, but even Lan Jiaying and He Zihao were full of grief and expectation.
Xiao Yuren also sighed: "I understand everything you say, and I pay attention to these news, I know that you will definitely look for me when I return to China." It's just that I didn't expect you to give me a big problem once you came. β
"I'm not going to tell anyone I've seen you. You don't have to care about Yao Yulan's identity, you just treat her as an ordinary mature woman. He Xinpian came up with an idea.
"Ordinary? I can't think of her as a normal. Do you know why Qi Shengji left her alone? He just wanted to indulge her, in order to prevent her from interfering in the Qi family's business. Although the Qi family's business is Qi Sifan's alone, there are too many obstacles in front of him, and if he can take down these difficulties, Qi Shengji will naturally rest assured that the Qi family's industry will be handed over to him.
But if he can't do it...... And he sent some decisive men to his side, and when necessary, he set him up. β
Xiao Yuren said these words, she felt a little abnormal, He Xin looked at Xiao Yuren's face for a long time, and she suddenly asked: "Yuren, why do you know so clearly?" Don't...... Are you ...... with Qi Shengji?"
"You guessed it right, Qi Shengji has countless lovers, and I am one of them." Xiao Yuda generously admitted that her words made He Xinpian, Lan Jiaying, and He Zihao speechless in shock.
At the end, Lan Jiaying said softly: "Mom, this Aunt Xiao is Qi Shengji's person. β
He Zihao also nodded.
He Xinlian shook her head, she said, "How is it possible! Jade man, you are the most clean and self-loving, how can you ...... How could he become Qi Shengji's lover! I don't believe it, and I won't believe it anyway. β
What she believed in most back then was love, she was such a noble and elegant woman, she was actually the lover of a business giant! This is called how He Xinlian believes. In fact, when He Xinlian lost to Xiao Yuren in love, she had no regrets at all, because the other party was a goddess-like beauty, Xiao Yuren.
Xiao Yuren heard He Xinlian say this, but she smiled bitterly: "Heart, time is passing, people will change." Love will lose to bread, and romance will lose to firewood, rice, oil, and salt. Don't say it's you, I don't believe I've become like this, but the facts are in front of me, what can I do if I don't believe it. β
He Xinlian was stunned all of a sudden, and Lan Jiaying and He Zihao didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, I naturally won't say anything about the things you came to me to look for me today." Xiao Yuren said again.
"Yuren, what is your name Qi Shengji? Brother Shengji? You ......" He Xinlian realized what a wrong decision he had made.
He Xinlian wanted to leave here, immediately, immediately, she didn't want to look at Xiao Yuren's face anymore. She has been flawless in her heart for so many years, and she has become dirty like this after returning home! She just felt sick for her.
"I know, you must look down on me, I know you too well. But, mercy, what if I help you? Xiao Yuren said this before He Xin was angry and hurried.
He Xinlian was stunned again, Lan Jiaying and He Zihao glanced at each other, He Zihao asked Xiao Yuren: "Aunt Xiao, you said you helped me?" β
"Yes, I'll help you, because that woman is Yao Yulan. I know you must not really like Yao Yulan. You are doing this for nothing more than money, for the Lan family's business. I told you, I'll help you. Xiao Yuren emphasized again.
"But why are you doing this?" He Xinlian asked.
"No, why ......," Xiao Yuren lowered his head.
"Because you really love Qi Shengji? Because Yao Yulan is your enemy? He Xinlian asked.
"Sort of." Xiao Yuren still hung his head.
He Xinlian let out a long sigh and said no more.
Everyone in the Qi family was open, Qi Sifan answered the phone and walked inside, the servants along the road greeted him, he nodded one by one, and pushed the door after talking about the phone.
At dinner time, Yao Yulan was feeding Qi Shengji soup.
Qi Sifan didn't see the behavior of the two people, he walked upstairs, and Qi Shengji asked: "Your Aunt Yao's craftsmanship is good, don't you sit down and taste it?" β
"No, that guy Tao Sixing has been pestering me so hard lately, I'll take something and go to my mother's to hide." Qi Sifan didn't look back, his figure was on the second floor, Qi Shengji turned around and continued to eat.
Yao Yulan said softly: "Si Fan doesn't want to see me, I'd better go to the kitchen." β
"No, didn't he say it, he'll go to his mother's place in a moment, and you'll just sit here." Qi Shengji's voice was majestic and could not be resisted.
Yao Yulan didn't say anything, she sat obediently, but she no longer fed Qi Shengji like before.
After a while, Qi Sifan came down from the upstairs again, he glanced at the dining table, and saw that the atmosphere there was a little wrong, so he pulled out a smile and said: "Oh, Aunt Yao, I wish you a happy meal, I really have something, we will eat together next time." β
Qi Shengji quietly aimed at Qi Sifan, and Yao Yulan said flatteredly: "Yes, the eldest young master, when you want to eat, you will greet Aunt Yao." β
"Okay." Qi Sifan replied and walked out of the living room.
As soon as Qi Sifan left, the atmosphere in the living room was much more relaxed. Yao Yulan smiled at Qi Shengji, and Qi Shengji said: "You don't have to be afraid of him, I am the master of this family." β
"It's not that I'm afraid of the young master, I just don't want him to be unhappy." Yao Yulan hurriedly started the round.
Qi Sifan walked out of the door and glanced back at the living room in disgust, and at the same time, his stomach growled. It's not that he's not hungry, it's that he doesn't want to eat with that person.
Qi Sifan dialed Lan Guiyuan's phone, and Lan Guiyuan's tentative voice came from there: "Si Fan? How are you calling me at this time? β
"You're in the company?" didn't answer Lan Guiyuan's question, Qi Sifan asked Lan Guiyuan to come.
"Well, of course I'm in the company, doesn't Lan Jiaying live at home!" Lan Guiyuan's tone made Qi Sifan think he was a super idiot.
"Where's Qianye?" Qi Sifan asked again.
"I'm in the company too! We were having dinner. He didn't go to Professor Meng's place today, saying he wanted to sleep with me. "Lan Guiyuan is not hiding anything from Qi Sifan.
Qi Sifan let out a long breath and said, "Buy me a meal, I'll go to the company now." β
"Huh?" Lan Guiyuan asked.
"I can't tell you clearly on the road, I'll tell you when we meet." As he spoke, Qi Sifan hung up the phone.
Although the weather after the beginning of autumn was hot, but at night, the wind was still a little cold, Qi Sifan tightened his collar and walked to his car.
