Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1222 He has changed

Xu Chunliang said: "I am just a section-level cadre in a prefecture-level city. These matters are not my responsibility."

Feng Mingjun sighed and said, "I'm glad you understand. I have a feeling that something big will happen soon. Your best choice is to stay away from trouble."

Xu Chunliang said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Feng Mingjun put out the cigarette, looked at the vast twilight in the distance, and whispered: "Do you know why your godmother wants to divorce Ye Changyuan?"

Xu Chunliang said: "It seems that it is because she disagrees with Sister Qingya and Qiao Rulong's marriage."

Feng Mingjun shook his head: "Because the Lin family doesn't want the Qiao and Ye families to unite, Sijin and her daughter are actually victims of political interests."

Xu Chunliang sighed inwardly. Even someone as strong as Lin Sijin had to bow to reality. He remembered that his mother might know something about Qiao Yuanshan and might even know this person. He found the photo and showed it to Feng Mingjun.

Feng Mingjun was also confused after seeing the photo: "I don't know him."

Xu Chunliang didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly, "Do you think this person is Qiao Yuanshan?"

Feng Mingjun shook his head and said, "No!"

Xu Chunliang was stunned. His mother would not lie to him. Ever since he and Ye Qingya went to Duyun Temple and discovered those messy stone carvings, he suspected that Monk Tonghui was Qiao Yuanshan. However, after asking several people who had seen Qiao Yuanshan that year, they all said he was not Qiao Yuanshan. It seemed that his suspicion was in the wrong direction.

But if Monk Tonghui is not Qiao Yuanshan, how do we explain the stone carvings in the caves?

Feng Mingjun asked: "Why are you interested in Qiao Yuanshan's affairs?"

Xu Chunliang said: "I suspect this person is Qiao Yuanshan."

Feng Mingjun took his phone again to confirm, then shook his head and said, "No!"

Xu Chunliang asked: "Have you ever seen this woman?"

Feng Mingjun said, "I am not familiar with Qiao Yuanshan, and I have never seen this woman before. You don't suspect that this girl is Mei Ruxue, do you?"

Xu Chunliang laughed. He did have such an idea.

Feng Mingjun said, "I have seen Mei Ruxue when she was a child. This photo is definitely not her."

Xu Chunliang is also shaken now. Maybe Tonghui and Qiao Yuanshan are two completely different people: "Why did Qiao Yuanshan run away from home back then?"

Feng Mingjun smiled calmly and said, "Who said he ran away from home? It's just what the Qiao family said to the outside world. I only heard that Qiao Yuanshan was on the rise at that time, but suddenly he was found to have problems. This problem is not only about his lifestyle, but also suspected of betraying national interests."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself that it was no wonder. If it was just a lifestyle issue, the Qiao family's strong financial strength should have been able to suppress the matter. However, the latter was a taboo in the system. No matter what your background was, once the facts were verified, there would be no room for maneuver.

Feng Mingjun said: "I just heard about it, I haven't investigated the real situation. Just live your life happily, why do you have to get involved in other people's disputes?"

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "I'll remember it."

Feng Mingjun said, "I have a job overseas recently and will be away for a long time. If you don't want to study abroad, I can't force you."

Xu Chunliang said: "You must be careful wherever you go. You are not young anymore. You should try not to go to high-risk jobs if you can."

Feng Mingjun felt warmed by her son's concern: "Okay, just take care of yourself, you don't have to worry about me." She knew very well that her son's words were not directed at her alone.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I am already an adult. Even if I encounter trouble, I have the ability to solve it, so you can just rest assured."

Feng Mingjun reached out and held her son's face, squeezing it hard. She pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but finally controlled herself and said softly, "Actually, we just want you to be an ordinary person."

Xu Chunliang said: "I am just an ordinary person."

Feng Mingjun patted his face gently and said, "Boy, how many women have you cheated on?"

Xu Chunliang said: "That's not called cheating, it's all mutual affection."

Feng Mingjun twisted his ear fiercely: "Asshole!"

Qiao Rulong still hasn't calmed down. When he returned home, he went to look for his sister first.

Mei Ruxue is packing up as she will be reporting to Dongzhou next week.

Seeing Qiao Rulong’s ugly face, the first thing that came to my mind was his health.

"Brother, why do you look so bad? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qiao Rulong shook his head and sat down on the chair: "You are..."

Mei Ruxue said: "I will report next week, so I will pack in advance."

Qiao Rulong said with an "oh" and whispered, "Go to Dongzhou." Mei Ruxue said, "Didn't you know this a long time ago?" She continued to pack her things.

Qiao Rulong said: "I met Xu Chunliang."

Mei Ruxue said calmly: "At the Dongzhou Office in Beijing." Her brother sent her to the Beijing Office, and he must have seen Xu Chunliang. As for whether they had a private chat, Mei Ruxue had no idea, and she did not take the initiative to ask. Now that her brother has said it, it proves that there must have been communication between them.

Qiao Rulong said: "I thought he lived in the Beijing Office, but after asking, I found out that he has been living in Ye Qingya's studio during this period."

Mei Ruxue paused for a moment, but she quickly continued to clean up and said softly, "He is Sister Qingya's foster brother, this is normal."

Qiao Rulong said: "But I heard that it's a bit abnormal."

Mei Ruxue put down the book in her hand and turned to Qiao Rulong: "Brother, you and Sister Qingya are divorced. You are no longer married. It is her freedom to date whomever she wants. You have no right to interfere."

Qiao Rulong said: "I don't want to interfere with her. She can date anyone, but not Xu Chunliang."

Mei Ruxue turned around silently without saying anything, but just pursed her lips slightly. She actually noticed it because Ye Qingya had inadvertently revealed an expression when she talked about Xu Chunliang when they met. Mei Ruxue just didn't want to think about it and quietly reminded herself that the story between her and Xu Chunliang was over.

Qiao Rulong said: "You know Xu Chunliang's character better than anyone else. He is simply using Ye Qingya. He hopes to use Ye Qingya to get close to the Ye family, just like he did to you in the past..."

"Not the same!" Mei Ruxue turned around angrily, with angry light flashing in her clear eyes.

Qiao Rulong said: "How is it different? He approached you with a purpose from the beginning..."

"Enough!" Mei Ruxue interrupted her brother with a sharp voice.

  Qiao Rulong looked at his sister in astonishment. In his memory, his sister had always respected him. How could she suddenly become like this?

Mei Ruxue said, "Brother, you have changed. You were not this broad-minded in the past. The relationship between Xu Chunliang and I is not as complicated as you think. The reason we broke up was not because of any problems in our relationship. Xu Chunliang does not owe our Qiao family anything, and he does not owe you anything!"

Qiao Rulong's heart began to beat faster again. He felt his throat dry and kept swallowing. His hands began to tremble slightly.

"I...I just care about you..." Even he himself felt that this sentence was not convincing at all.

Mei Ruxue said: "Brother, you don't have to worry about me. I can handle my own affairs. I didn't go to Dongzhou for Xu Chunliang. It's impossible for a person to live his whole life just for love."

Qiao Rulong wanted to use laughter to ease the awkwardness at the moment, but unfortunately he couldn't laugh.

Mei Ruxue said: "We all know what grandpa's biggest regret is. I may not be able to do it well, but I don't want him to be disappointed."

Qiao Rulong's violently beating heart squeezed the hot blood to his face. His sister's words were like a thorn that pierced his heart deeply. He thought it was an allusion to him. Qiao Rulong shouted, "Yes, I disappointed Grandpa and brought shame to the Qiao family, but it's not your turn to teach me a lesson. Don't forget, your last name is Mei!"

Mei Ruxue's pretty face turned pale in an instant and she bit her lips hard.

After Qiao Rulong blurted out these words, he immediately regretted what he said. The girl in front of him was his sister. Although they were not born of the same mother, he had always loved and cared for her and had never said a harsh word to her face, let alone directly revealing her scars like this.

Mei Ruxue didn't say anything, but just walked out of the room silently. Qiao Rulong chased after her: "Xiaoxue, listen to my explanation..."

Mei Ruxue walked down the stairs quickly as if she didn't hear anything. Qiao Rulong chased her outside and saw his grandfather reading a newspaper in the living room downstairs. He immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to chase her.

When Mei Ruxue saw Grandpa, she slowed down her pace and came to Grandpa and greeted him, "Grandpa."

Qiao Laodao: "Go out?"

Mei Ruxue said: "Well, let's go out for a walk."

Old Qiao stood up and said, "I've been staying at home for too long. I feel depressed. Let's go for a walk together."

Mei Ruxue had no choice but to nod.

The grandfather and his wife went outside together, walking along the path in the courtyard towards the small park at the back. Old Qiao saw the scattered fallen leaves on the road and sighed softly, "It's late autumn again."

Mei Ruxue said: "The weather is getting colder, you should take care of yourself. I will go to Dongzhou tomorrow."

Old Qiao asked, "Has Wang Jianming come to the capital?"

Mei Ruxue nodded: "I went to see him this afternoon, and he asked me to say hello to you on his behalf. His schedule was too tight this time, so he couldn't spare the time to come and visit you."

Old Qiao said calmly: "Let it be."

Mei Ruxue vaguely sensed some displeasure in her grandfather's words. She knew very well that her grandfather had helped Wang Jianming in governing Dongzhou. However, Wang Jianming did have to deal with a lot of troubles when he came to Beijing this time. Mei Ruxue went to the Beijing Office today and talked to him about some of them. Mei Ruxue believed that Wang Jianming came to Beijing this time to seek help to solve the problem.

Old Qiao looked at the setting sun in the distance and whispered, "What did Rulong ask you to do just now?"

"Nothing." Mei Ruxue naturally didn't dare to tell her grandfather the details of their conversation.

Old Qiao sighed and said, "He has changed. Since the operation, he has become more and more unfamiliar to me. Xiaoxue, I have heard that many people's personalities change after receiving a heart transplant. Do you think this will happen to him?"
