my name, your last name

Chapter 21 Don't Let Memories Be a Secret
Jiang Xiaolin quietly went to get the marriage certificate. Even though there was no ceremony, no wedding leave, and no big wedding candies to advertise, the news of her marriage still spread like wildfire in the school.

When Gan Lu returned to the office after class, she heard her colleagues discussing.

"How did you know?"

"She has moved out of the school dormitory. I heard that the other party is a civil servant, a department-level cadre, widowed, and has a five-year-old daughter."

"It's no wonder that no wine is served and no red bombs are sent." Of course, human relations are an obligation that everyone is willing to be exempted from, but some people still can't help but want to gossip, "According to the old saying, this is to fill people's houses. "

"Old minded, Mr. Jiang's family is in the countryside, and the burden is heavy. This is a wise choice."

"That's true. It is said that many young girls are rushing to find a mature man with a career foundation. It is no problem for others to have wives. Teacher Jiang's marriage is normal after all, and it is not bad."

Of course, Gan Lu did not participate in these discussions. Her mind is now fully occupied by her own problems, and she has no time to pay attention to the fate of others, but she still sighs a little.

In the eyes of others, Jiang Xiaolin's marriage is a purely utilitarian choice, and the part of love in it is almost taken for granted and ignored.She is going through an unprecedented crisis in her marriage, and she has to think about what everyone wants from marriage.

She has never faced Jiang Xiaolin's difficulties.When she agreed to Shang Xiuwen's marriage proposal, she was still young, and she could have lived a more free life. At least the conditions that fashion Xiuwen put in front of her were not the reason to tempt her to say "yes".She can say frankly that her choice is not utilitarian.

However, after more than two years of a harmonious marriage, her life suddenly became a mess.She even came close to blurting out "divorce" to him.

Thinking of this, she felt a headache.

During this period of time, she was very busy. Apart from going to class, she ran to the hospital. She had to prepare lessons in the limited time left, and didn't have much energy to think about anything.

Now that Gamble's condition has stabilized and Aunt Wang's cold has healed, she can go back to the hospital to continue taking care of him. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.But this relaxation is only physical, and she doesn't feel any relaxation.

After get off work, Gan Lu still drove to the hospital first, but seeing Feng Yi'an sitting inside talking and laughing with her father, she couldn't help being surprised: "Yi'an, why do you come here when you have time?"

"I went to City J for a meeting yesterday, and I heard from Xiuwen that your father was hospitalized. Of course, I have to come and have a look."

After the conversation in the parking lot of the hospital that day almost turned heads, Shang Xiuwen sent her home and left immediately.He has been staying in J City for the past few days, and Gan Lu felt relieved. Now that she is facing him, she feels nervous and exhausted, and he must feel the same way.

"Thank you, it's too much trouble."

Feng Yi'an took out an envelope from his pocket and gave it to her: "The access control card of my house has been changed again, and I also greeted the property owner, you just need to rest assured."

Gan Lu went home the day before yesterday and caught up with the property management to notify her that she needed to register the information of the tenants, and that the owner herself had to bring the real estate certificate to receive the access control card that had just been upgraded with the system. She had no choice but to call Feng Yi'an to handle it.

As soon as she took the envelope, Gamble said with a puzzled look, "Lulu, where do you live now?"

Gan Lu didn't know how to answer for a while, but Feng Yi'an said with a smile: "Lulu is temporarily renting an empty house of mine." She glanced across, Feng Yi'an was startled, and quickly added, "She is for I'll take care of you nearby."

Gambo was skeptical: "Lulu, do you need to move out specially? Your mother-in-law's house is not too far from here."

"It's more convenient here, but only temporarily."

"Did Xiuwen move out with you?"

Gan Lu only felt that admitting and denying were equally difficult. Feng Yi'an relieved her and said, "Xiuwen has spent a lot of time in J City during this time."

"Lulu," Gamble stared at his daughter closely, "is nothing wrong?"

"Of course it's fine." Gan Lu could only say, "Yi'an, you are so busy, so I won't waste your time."

Feng Yi'an hurriedly stood up and said goodbye, and told Gan Bo to rest at ease, and Gan Bo thanked him again and again.

Gan Lu sent him out, and he said anxiously, "I didn't say anything wrong just now, did I?"

Gan Lu smiled bitterly: "It's okay, it's okay, my dad is a bit suspicious," she had already stopped and was about to go back, but seeing Feng Yi'an clearly had something to say but didn't know where to start, she couldn't help being funny and helpless, " Yi'an, did you suddenly find a girlfriend and want me to vacate a house for you to marry but it's hard to ask?"

Feng Yi'an couldn't laugh or cry: "Lulu, am I that kind of person? But," he stopped and looked at Gan Lu seriously, "I really don't know if I should lend you a house and let you live separately from Shang Xiuwen."

"Come on, why are you worrying about this? Xiuwen is very busy over there now. Without your house, we would still live separately."

"I went there this time and felt that he looked very different from before." Feng Yi'an said with a smile, "You also know that he was always a bit lazy before, and he clearly saw the work clearly, but he just refused to do his best. It seems that he would rather stop at the end than seek development. Now it is good, he works like clockwork every day, and he is the last one to leave the office almost every day, so he just stays in the company overnight. If the executives over there want to follow If you follow his rhythm, you have to honestly and voluntarily work overtime."

Gan Lu really didn't expect that Shang Xiuwen would suddenly become a workaholic in J City, so she couldn't help being startled.

"I talked to him yesterday and guess what he said."

"Yi'an, you've known Xiuwen for so long, and you still ask people to guess him? To be honest, no one can guess what he thinks."

"I can't guess it's normal, you should know. He said that he just wanted to get things straightened out there quickly so that he could come back to accompany you." Feng Yi'an stared at her and said bluntly, "Lulu, you If I'm still not moved, I'm really going to despair of a woman's hard heart."

Shang Xiuwen would call Gan Lu every day to inquire about his father-in-law's condition, and then the two would greet each other in general.He neither mentioned work matters nor the relationship between the two of them, and of course she didn't say anything.Listening to Feng Yi'an's retelling of Shang Xiuwen's words now, she didn't feel any consolation, she just felt that it was sad that the husband and wife got along in such a state that they needed others to pass on their words.But even if she wasn't moved, she still had some complicated emotions in her heart. After all, she couldn't put on a completely indifferent attitude, hesitated, and asked him: "How is Xu Sheng doing now?"

"The risk of being acquired by Yixin should be temporarily over, but the merger of the smelter has been pending. The executive deputy mayor of J City used to be a subordinate of Xiuwen's mother, and the Municipal Economic Commission also holds shares in Xusheng. Still speaking from the industrial structure adjustment of City J, it was a matter of course for Xusheng to merge the smelter. A few years ago, the city even begged Chairman Wu to do this. Outsourced processing. But Yixin brought a lot of money to assassinate them. They have a lot of background. They bought out the mining rights of several iron ore mines in J City in one go. It seems that they want to invest to form a complete industrial chain. The city and even the province are hesitant, and they are still studying which one is more necessary to support in the long run."

"Then..." She had no idea about the operation of the business, so she could only ask the most directly related question to Feng Yi'an, "Has your sales returned to normal?"

"Hey, don't talk about me, the key problem of Xusheng now is sales, but it's not easy to get back to normal." When talking about work, Feng Yi'an has a lot to say, and he doesn't care if Gan Lu can understand, "Wu Wei This move can be said to have destroyed the foundation of our reputation that we had laid before, and we had to start from scratch. Xiuwen’s second cousin-in-law, Lao Wei, was in charge of sales, and the pressure was even greater. He told me privately that Xiuwen looked gentle. In fact, he is much stricter than his father-in-law, Chairman Wu, so he has no choice but to break down the pressure on us, and let us find a way to open up the situation. If we don’t reverse the decline in sales, there will inevitably be losses at the end of the year, and shareholders’ confidence will be damaged. Sheng probably still cannot escape the fate of being merged by Yixin.”

Gan Lu was silent, and Feng Yi'an didn't want to worry her, so he quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, what I just said is just the worst possibility. Now Xiuwen's strategy of adjusting the product line is still effective. Xusheng's product structure is not like It was so single in the past, and the degree of dependence on specific markets will gradually decrease.”

"Yi'an, you have been acting as an agent of Xusheng's products. You should have friendship with the real estate company here. If you come to explain the situation again..." Gan Lu knew that she couldn't understand their business routines, so she shook her head with a smile, "In short, Just ask them to start with Xusheng’s products again, as long as one company starts using them, the others will follow suit, right?”

"That's what I said, but it's useless to talk about friendship in the business field. What happened to Xu Sheng a few years ago had too much influence, and no one was willing to take the risk to place an order first. Recently, I visited several big real estate developers in the province one after another. They all quarreled with me, most of the time it was the purchasing department who came out to prevaricate me, and it was very difficult to meet the boss.”

"What should I do?"

"What can we do? Let's all work hard together. We went to the meeting this time, and after discussing with everyone, we found that the sales difficulties in the two provinces were similar. We had to do our best. While continuing to publicize with big real estate developers, we started a price war to win over small real estate companies. Start with businessmen and re-open channels.”

"It will take a long time, right?"

Feng Yi'an spread his hands with a headache: "There is no way. The development of the construction market is not something that can be achieved in the short term."

"It will be hard work for you."

Feng Yi'an laughed loudly: "You have finally entered the role, this kind of tone of consoling subordinates is like the chairman's wife."

Gan Lu couldn't help being embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do about him: "Well, thank you for coming to see my dad today, you can go about your business. Goodbye."

After Feng Yi'an left, Gan Lu returned to the ward, and saw Gan Bo sitting there with a sad face, she smiled and said, "Dad, what are you thinking?"

"Is it because of this miscarriage that your mother-in-law or Xiuwen have thoughts about you?"

Gan Lu knew that Gambo was terribly sensitive in certain aspects, so she hurriedly comforted him: "It was an accident, so don't think about it."

"Xiuwen is over 30 years old, and he is an only child. His family must be looking forward to this child. You have a miscarriage because of taking care of me." Gambo's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse, "Lulu, I really didn't Use it, let me hurt you."

"The more you say it, the more outrageous it is. Dad, it's none of your business. I've said it all. Mother-in-law and Xiuwen are very considerate. They don't blame me, let alone you."

"Then why did you move out?" Gamble asked again.

"It's closer to the hospital. It's only temporary. You heard what Yi An said just now."

When Aunt Wang came back from delivering the meal, she also tried to smooth things over: "Hurry up and eat, don't torture Lulu, Xiuwen treats her well, it's not like you didn't miss it. She's tired from work all day, so she should go back to rest early."

Gambo nodded, but then instructed: "Lulu, move back quickly. After all, you are his wife. Now Xiuwen often works in other places, and there is only one old man at home. You can't take care of me and leave your home alone. , then your mother-in-law will be unhappy."

"It's rare that you speak so reasonable this time," Aunt Wang commented in surprise, she ignored Gan Bo's stare at her, turned to Gan Lu and said, "Lu Lu, your father is right, as a daughter-in-law, no matter how much you think about your mother's family, There has to be a limit, too."

Gan Lu had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, I'll move back as soon as possible."

When Gan Lu returned home, Lu Huining was already waiting downstairs. Regardless of Gan Lu's protests these days, she would still bring various nourishing soups every other day.

Gan Lu had no choice but to accept her mother's kindness, but she was still restless while drinking the soup.

"Is your father better?" Lu Huining asked her.

"The doctor said that his ascites has improved. If his condition improves further next week, he can be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate slowly. He will be reexamined regularly in the future."

"Just be strict and tell him not to drink anymore, or the gods won't be able to save him next time."

Gan Lu smiled wryly. Of course, she had already seriously talked to her father and told Aunt Wang again, but she didn't trust Gambo's self-control ability, and she couldn't help but feel a headache every time she thought about it.But that's not what she's thinking about right now.

Lu Huining sized her up, frowned and said, "Look at your complexion, it must be... your body hasn't recovered yet, so you really need to make up for it. And what kind of sloppy are you now? Your hair is half long and not short, and you don't have any shape at all. His face is so pale, and he doesn't wear makeup."

Gan Lu is really not in the mood to tidy herself up now. She runs between the hospital and the school every day, but she only keeps it clean and tidy.She smiled at the glamorous mother and said: "How can a mother dislike her daughter so much? Isn't it good for me to sacrifice myself to set off your youthful beauty?"

"It doesn't matter if I dislike you, be careful that your husband also dislikes you." Lu Huining looked her up and down again, shook his head and said, "After drinking the soup, come with me to get my hair trimmed, I really can't stand it anymore."

Gan Lu had a request from her mother today, so she nodded her head honestly.

The two of them went downstairs and got into Lu Huining's car. She was driving a well-regulated dark gray Crown, which was not ostentatious at all.When she arrived at the beauty and hairdressing salon she often went to, the receptionist greeted her as soon as she entered the door. Of course, the familiar hair stylist also came over immediately. When she heard that Lu Huining brought her daughter, she naturally complimented the mother and daughter as sisters. .

Gan Lu listened to the hairstylist and her mother discussing her face shape, temperament, and suitable hairstyle, and then began to trim her hair, and suddenly found that this compromise was very unwise.

Although this store is well-known in the local area for its expensive prices, good environment, and not many customers, but there is a hair stylist who is waving scissors and wants to talk to you from time to time. She can't say what she wants to say to her mother. I had no choice but to stare at the mirror in a daze.

The hair stylist was asking Gan Lu for her opinion on Liu Hai, and she was about to speak, when a figure in the mirror suddenly bumped into her eyes, she took a closer look, and it turned out to be He Jingyi.

I saw He Jingyi wearing a milky white silk shirt, black trousers, and a windbreaker on her hands. For the first time, her hair was not rolled up, but was casually draped over her shoulders, making her even more charming. She walked in while talking on the phone. .Gan Lu sat with her back, she didn't see it, and followed a reception lady upstairs.Lu Huining also noticed her, looking at her daughter in the mirror with meaningful eyes, Gan Lu had to lower her eyes and ignore her.

After finally getting her hair cut, Gan Lu resolutely declined Lu Huining's proposal to let her go upstairs for a full-body treatment.The two came out and got into the car. Lu Huining started the car and said casually: "He Jingyi often comes here for nursing care. I have met her at least twice. What are you afraid of her doing?"

Gan Lu said angrily, "Do I need to be afraid?"

"She's the most nympho, so she can't pester your family Xiuwen. She is the lover of her boss, and that person is not easy to mess with."

This gossip really surprised Gan Lu, she glanced at her mother suspiciously: "Where did I hear this gossip again?"

"Your Uncle Qin told me." Lu Huining said calmly, "I asked him when I came back from your house the other day, but he refused to tell me, but I couldn't stop me asking repeatedly. He and Yixin's boss, Chen Hua, had a very early relationship. Yes, this He Jingyi has been with him for at least four or five years."

Gan Lu couldn't tell her mother, but strictly speaking, He Jingyi wasn't the problem between them.She didn't care about the authenticity of the news, she just said "hmm".

"Actually, if Wanfeng doesn't say anything, I can guess all kinds of things. It's not that I judge people by their appearance and have a prejudice against beautiful girls. How can a woman who drives a Maserati and acts so ostentatiously act honestly based on her ability?" It's that simple for high-ranking women."

Gan Lu couldn't help laughing, knowing that in the eyes of her mother who had always been a beauty, He Jingyi's beauty was no big deal, and it was even more uncommon for her to be in the top position based on her beauty.She lazily said: "Don't mind other people's business. You have to enjoy yourself to the fullest in life. It's no big deal to show off when you feel like showing off."

"Of course I can understand why I didn't want to walk in brocade clothes when I was young. So Wanfeng said that Xiuwen knew how to hide his strength and bide his time, which is rare."

Gan Lu was so depressed that she refused to answer this topic.

"But it's not a long-term solution for you and your husband to live in two places..."

"Mom, let me tell you something."

"Say it."

"I want to ask Uncle Qin for a favor. I wonder if it will make him difficult?"

Lu Huining looked at her suspiciously: "As for the hesitation? Is it about money? If the amount is not large, I can give it to you directly."

"No. But it's about business."

"What kind of business do you know, is it for writing?"

Gan Lu did not deny it.

"Tell me clearly first, how is your relationship now? If he needs it, he can come to your Uncle Qin directly. "

"I don't think it's easy to speak. Of course, it's even more inconvenient for him to come to Uncle Qin directly."

Lu Huining didn't take it seriously: "Could it be that his self-esteem is more precious than yours?"

"That's not what I said. I'm not asking Uncle Qin what to do. I just want to hear his opinion first."

"I'll bring him here, and you'll talk to him face to face. Don't worry, he's a businessman. He doesn't think about it as much as you do. If he thinks it's not feasible, he will tell you directly. I believe he must have a good reason. We'll think about it later. There is another way."

Gan Lu admitted that her mother was right. She wasn't afraid of being rejected, but she had kept a distance from Qin Wanfeng for so many years, and now she suddenly went to beg him. No matter what others thought, she couldn't let go.

Lu Huining called Qin Wanfeng, and then said to Gan Lu, "He's talking to someone in the Binjiang Garden Club now, let's go there."

When they arrived at the clubhouse, Lu Huining took Gan Lu straight to the place where Qin Wanfeng used to drink tea, knocked on the door and went in, Gan Lu was surprised that Nie Qian was sitting opposite Qin Wanfeng, he saw her, but did not show any surprise expression , only slightly nodded to her in greeting.

Qin Wanfeng smiled and said to his wife: "Take Lulu to sit next door. I'll have a little talk with Mr. Nie, and it's almost over."

Lu Huining nodded in agreement, took Gan Lu out, and pointed to another small private room: "Go and sit there, and I'll ask the kitchen to cook a cup of Gong Yan."

Gan Lu frowned and protested, "I don't like eating that."

"You give it to me as medicine."

Lu Huining ignored her at all, turned around and left.Gan Lu was helpless, and was about to go in, but bumped into Qin Yanzhi head-on, she seemed to be startled when she saw Gan Lu: "Lulu, rare visitor, what are you doing here today?"

Gan Lu was really worried, but she still told the truth: "I have something to do with Uncle Qin."

"Sure enough, there will be a day when you take the initiative to find my father. I thought you would always be arrogant."

She spoke sarcastically in Yangqiu's way, and Gan Lu had nothing to say, so she just shrugged: "I don't think I've ever boasted that I'm noble."

"It's okay, I can understand that you came to find my father, it will happen sooner or later." Qin Yanzhi said with a smile, "But he will be talking about work with my boyfriend here, I don't know how long it will take."

Hearing that Nie Qian had been upgraded to her boyfriend, Gan Lu was really surprised, she just nodded slightly: "I know, I said hello to Uncle Qin, and wait for him here first."

Qin Yanzhi looked at her sharply, and was about to say something when she saw Lu Huining walking back. She was still a bit afraid of this stepmother: "Excuse me, auntie, you can sit with your daughter."

Seeing her daughter's expression, Lu Huining knew that Qin Yanzhi must have said something unpleasant: "Don't pay attention to what she said, she is simply a spoiled child. Your Uncle Qin likes you very much and keeps telling me , his daughter wants you to be half independent and sensible."

Gan Lu said sullenly, "It's only natural for his daughter to tell him anything, how can I be so thick-skinned."

"When you talk to a mother like me, you always have an expression of struggling for an unknown amount of time. Why don't you tell me what is right and proper?"

Gan Lu was amused: "Mom, I think you live too leisurely, I wish I could find some trouble for you to be happy."

Lu Huining sighed: "Am I so free to look for trouble? I used to have no time to worry about you, but later on you simply don't need me to worry about anything."

"Come on, if I really make you worry all the time, you probably don't bother to talk to me anymore. Just look at your father and you will know that you hate people the most for embarrassing you and worrying about you."

Lu Huining was stunned and had to admit that her daughter's words were not unreasonable.A lot of her annoyance with Gamble came from him making things difficult for her.Apart from being useless, he was actually a good person. She could neither deny his goodness nor bear his uselessness, so she disliked him even more unabashedly. In fact, she wanted to convince herself that this dislike was justified.She was at a loss for words.

The waiter brought up the bird's nest, and Gan Lu had to eat it. Fortunately, the taste was sweet and not weird, but she had something on her mind, and she didn't know what to eat.

Lu Huining looked at her daughter who was sipping bird's nest with her head down. Gan Lu's hair had just been combed, and it hung down smoothly and stylishly, revealing her thin and beautiful outline.No matter how many people praised her for her eternal beauty, the quiet daughter in front of her reminded her that the passage of time was fair to everyone.

She sighed again: "Well, I'm a selfish woman, and I really can't bear trouble. If you want to be like that girl Zhizhi, I guess I'll get into trouble with you early in the morning."

"What's up with her?"

Lu Huining curled her lips: "What can she do, she is just eating, drinking and having fun in a different way, and accidents happen every three days. Did you see that Mr. Nie just now, is he your old classmate? Zhizhi seems to like him very much, but this Nie At first glance, he is not a man who can be manipulated by others."

Gan Lu smiled and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business."

"Of course I don't care. She has a father and a mother, so it's my turn to bother."

After about half an hour, Qin Wanfeng walked in: "Sorry to keep you waiting. Lulu, is your father better?"

"He's much better, thank you Uncle Qin." Qin Wanfeng was always kind to Gan Lu, but the more he was like this, the more Gan Lu felt that it was difficult to speak, so he hesitated for a while, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Uncle Qin, I have something to trouble you. If you feel inconvenient, please tell me directly, don't be embarrassed."

Qin Wanfeng smiled slightly: "Don't worry about embarrassing me, Lulu, you want to tell me about Xu Sheng, right?"

Gan Lu nodded: "I remember you told me last time that your company has been using Xusheng's products and has a good evaluation of them. I believe you know that the quality problem that occurred some time ago is actually related to Xusheng's products. It has nothing to do with upgrading the product itself.”

Qin Wanfeng pondered for a while: "Lulu, I have a general understanding of what happened to Xusheng a while ago. Originally, as long as the investigation by the relevant departments is over, Xusheng completes the relevant procedures for re-sales and obtains a quality inspection certificate, will my company continue to purchase? Problem. But there is a more subtle and complicated situation right now, and I don't know if you can understand it."

Of course, Gan Lu was prepared, and smiled wryly: "I know, you have friendship with the chairman of Yixin, and now Yixin is competing with Xusheng for a smelter. The series of problems that Xusheng encountered before are actually related to Yixin It has a lot to do with it. If I come to ask you for help now, it will really embarrass you."

Lu Huining interjected unhappily: "Wanfeng, Lulu is my daughter, and Xiuwen is my son-in-law. Could it be that the relationship is not as close as the friends you meet once or twice a year?"

Qin Wanfeng was a little embarrassed: "Of course not. The situation between Yixin and Xusheng is not clear, and Yuanwang is also involved. Speaking of which, I am an acquaintance like Wang Feng, Yuanwang's boss. I said it delicately. The most important thing is that Wang Feng has already got his hands on Xu Sheng, and Chen Hua seems to have the same intention, but I don't know the intention of Xiuwen. Lulu, you came to see me today, does Xiuwen know?"

Gan Lu also felt embarrassed: "He is currently in City J, and I haven't told him yet."

"Originally we had this kind of relationship. If Xiuwen wanted to expand sales, it should be the most direct thing to come to me. But he didn't contact me at all. He only asked Xiao Feng, who is in charge of the sales company here, to visit my company. The vice president of procurement did not take any further action. Lulu, I think it is more appropriate for you to understand his next plan before helping him."

However, Gan Lu couldn't tell others that the relationship between their husband and wife had reached a point even more complicated than Xu Sheng's situation. Shang Xiuwen definitely didn't want her to be misunderstood, so he avoided direct contact with Qin Wanfeng: "Uncle Qin , Feng Yian just came back from a meeting in J City, and he was instructed to fully develop the local market. I really don’t know anything about business, and I don’t intend to use this half-knowledge to convince you. Please express your opinion immediately and agree to purchase. I just want to Please arrange a time to meet Yi An, listen to him talk about Xu Sheng's current situation, and see if there is any possibility of continuing to cooperate with Xu Sheng."

Qin Wanfeng was surprised. He originally thought that Gan Lu would definitely make a request when he came to the door for the first time. He hoped that with his reputation and influence in the local real estate industry, he would publicly support Xusheng's products and help open up local sales. He was very embarrassed, he was unwilling to rashly and directly intervene in a business that involved his friend's interests and had no direct interest in him.

However, on the one hand, he really likes the girl Gan Lu; on the other hand, he doesn't want to make his wife unhappy.He was ready to agree to purchase some Xusheng products on a small scale first, and at the same time asked to keep it quiet, and he had fully prepared his words.But Gan Lu's request was only to ask him to have an interview with Feng Yi'an. To Feng Yi'an, of course he would have asked better, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "It's no problem, you ask Xiao Feng to come to the company at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to find I."

Lu Huining was puzzled at the side: "Lulu, it's just such a trivial matter, you made it so solemn."

Gan Lu smiled but did not answer.Her original determination was indeed to save face and ask Qin Wanfeng to help, but Qin Wanfeng's words also reminded her that there are some things that she can help, and some things depend on Shang Xiuwen's own intentions.

Qin Wanfeng's family lived in a top-floor luxury apartment in Binjiang Garden. Gan Lu didn't ask her mother to send her her farewell, and immediately called Feng Yi'an to ask him to come to Qin Wanfeng's office on time tomorrow. Feng Yi'an was both surprised and delighted: "Lulu , how did you meet Mr. Qin and make an appointment with him?"

"Don't ask so many questions. I see what he means. It's not impossible to purchase Xusheng's products. It's just that he doesn't want to act in a public way right now. The rest depends on how you persuade him."

Feng Yi'an said again and again: "Don't worry about this, I know it. Hey, you have helped me a lot. I will treat you to dinner another day. I am very busy recently, and I haven't gathered with you for a long time. Let's find Jiaxi Come, let's eat and sing together..."

"It's serious for you to do your job well first, let's talk about other things." Gan Lu interrupted him with a smile, "By the way, I'll help you make an appointment with Mr. Qin, you don't need to tell Xiuwen. Okay, how can it be so Why. Goodbye."

Gan Lu had already walked out, when the phone rang, this time it was Nie Qian calling: "Lu Lu, my car is parked on the side of the road in front of the clubhouse, come here, I'll take you back."

"Thank you, no need." As soon as she raised her eyes, she could see Nie Qian's black Audi parked not far in front of her, and she could even see him standing beside the car smoking a cigarette, but of course she didn't want to get into his car here , causing unnecessary trouble for myself, reached out to stop a taxi, and got on it, "I'm already in the taxi, goodbye."

The next day, Gan Lu got off work and received a call from Feng Yian: "Lulu, where are you?"

"Just got off work and was about to go to the hospital."

"You wait for me, I'll be there right away."

"Hey, can't you say it on the phone?"

"Wait for me, I'll be there in 10 minutes."

Gan Lu had no choice but to drive the car out of the school and parked on the side of the road to wait for him. Sure enough, within 10 minutes, Feng Yi'an came over in his Ma Liu.He parked the car behind her car, and while talking on the phone, he got out of the car and sat in her car.

As soon as he put down the phone, Gan Lu asked, "What's the matter? In such a hurry?"

"Lulu, I had a very smooth conversation with Mr. Qin this morning. He has signed a supply agreement with us for a suburban real estate project that will start construction soon."

"You don't need to come here to report this to me, right? Yi'an," Gan Lu said with a smile, "Xusheng's sales are owned by Director Wei, you can just talk to him directly."

"Of course I want to come and thank you well."

"Why be so polite, is there anything else? I have to go to the hospital, and I agreed to meet with Professor Qiu today to talk about my father's discharge from the hospital."

Feng Yi'an couldn't get up, and said with a smile: "What's the hurry, I haven't finished talking yet." He put on a heart-to-heart gesture, "Lulu, are you out of face, so you don't want to admit to Xiuwen that you care about me?" he?"

Gan Lu was really puzzled, Feng Yi'an was very particular about her temperament and behavior in normal times, she didn't like gossip, let alone gossip, she didn't know what to say.

"As soon as you heard that the biggest difficulty Xu Sheng is currently facing is that the sales situation is difficult to open, you immediately helped me find Mr. Qin. Isn't that very telling?"

"What do you mean, does it mean that I care about you?" Gan Lu said sarcastically, a little amused.

Feng Yi'an was stunned: "This shows that you care about Xiuwen silently. If Xiuwen knows, how happy you should be. Why don't you let me tell him directly?"

"Yi'an, you have also seen that this time my father was hospitalized, and my mother-in-law helped to find a specialist without saying a word. Otherwise, with my father's situation, it would be impossible for him to recover so well. I will help Xu Sheng with a little thing. There is nothing to say, you still have to work hard on your own. Okay, okay, I'm leaving..." But she saw Feng Yi'an suddenly showing an embarrassed expression, "What's the matter?"

Feng Yi'an pressed the mobile phone in his hand, and smiled wryly: "Lulu, I probably caused you trouble. Just now, my mobile phone has been on the call with Xiuwen."

Gan Lu looked at him a little confused: "What the hell are you doing?"

"After I signed the contract with Wanfeng, I reported it to Old Wei. He was very happy, but," Feng Yi'an hesitated, "Xiuwen called in the afternoon and made a big fuss with me."

Gan Lu was a little speechless: "Didn't I tell you not to tell him that I made an appointment with Mr. Qin for you?"

"How meticulous Xiuwen is, don't you know? I don't want to confess you, but I can't fool him casually. He asked me so much that I had nothing to say, and immediately asked why I wanted to Let you go to Mr. Qin. To be honest, it's the first time I've heard his tone so harsh. "

Gan Lu was surprised. She had the impression that Shang Xiuwen had always been able to control his emotions, and no matter how angry he was, he would not express his anger easily: "You can just say it, it's not you who asked me to go to Mr. Qin. Or tell me, I will Just call him and make it clear. Why bother with such a complicated and convoluted way of explaining the phone call?"

If it weren't for the small space in the car, Feng Yi'an would have wanted to stamp his feet: "Lulu, you are usually smart and meticulous, why can't you see my intentions? I don't blame Xiuwen for getting angry with me at all, I think he is too nervous about you, I'm afraid You misunderstood him and came to use you for business when your relationship was tense."

"Stop guessing, he doesn't bother to use me, and how could I misunderstand him so much."

"I just called Xiuwen before I got out of the car. I was counting on me to lure you. Wouldn't it be over if you just said that you care about your husband? He won't be worried anymore after hearing this. Everyone is happy."

"Your thinking...is too complicated." Gan Lu always thought that Feng Yi'an had too many thoughts. Now that she heard his dramatic arrangement, she confirmed this point. She couldn't help but laugh. Can sigh.

"I'm sorry, Lulu, I originally wanted to try my best to make you reconcile."

"Yi'an, thank you, but the problem between me and Xiuwen can't be solved by a few words on the phone, and the couple have to resort to a third person to help us communicate so hard," she smiled wryly and shook her head , "It's really sad. I'll go first."

Gan Lu rushed to the hospital and met with Professor Qiu. Professor Qiu told her that Gan Bo should pay attention to health preservation in the future. If there is no accident, he should be able to resume a basically normal life, but he must regularly check his liver function and monitor various indicators to prevent ascites Recurrence, deepening of liver cirrhosis and even pathological changes.She was greatly relieved. After thanking Professor Qiu, she went to her father's ward. Speaking of being able to leave the hospital on the weekend the day after tomorrow, Gamble and Aunt Wang were very happy.

Aunt Wang said: "Just now Xiuwen also called, saying that he will come to pick up your father when he leaves the hospital."

"It's really sick this time." Gamble was not happy for a while, and then began to sigh again, "Lulu, I'm really sorry for you."

Before Gan Lu could speak, Aunt Wang glanced at him first: "Can you stop saying things that make Lulu uncomfortable? Don't drink alcohol and ruin your liver. Don't let your daughter worry about suffering. You will be worthy of her."

Gamble had always been somewhat condescending towards Aunt Wang, who was a worker and had little education. When she suddenly blocked her, he was at a loss for words.Gan Lu also felt that after this illness, Gan Bo was not as unreasonable as before in front of Aunt Wang, she was happy to see this change, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the point is really not to drink anymore, otherwise I will You have to be ready for a liver transplant at any time. Dad, you don’t want to do this either, do you?”

Gamble could not wait to swear and swear: "You let your Aunt Wang testify that I will never drink a drop of wine in the future, not even rice wine."

After returning home, Gan Lu made a simple dinner and ate it. She sat in the study and spread out the lesson plans to prepare for tomorrow's class.Recently, her colleagues are very considerate of her. The head teachers of the three classes she leads have repeatedly told her to take good care of her father and pay attention to her health. student.Moreover, the teaching reform plan requires teachers to submit term papers within a certain period of time. After preparing for the class, she turned on her laptop to check the information and began to prepare.

While she was busy, her cell phone rang, and when she picked it up, it was Nie Qian calling: "I'm downstairs where you live, and I want to meet you."

She was startled: "I don't live there now."

"I'm just downstairs where you live now," Nie Qian added after stopping for a while, "I drove after your taxi all the way yesterday before I realized you've moved out."

Gan Lu was a little surprised: "What's the matter?"

"Of course I have something to do. I'll wait for you at the Collection Cafe by the lake."

She had to say, "Okay, I'll come down right away."

Feng Yi'an's residence is by the lake in the city center. There are many luxury houses and high-end apartments in this area. The Collection Cafe is located at the entrance of this residential area. The business has always been very good. When Gan Lu walked into the cafe, she saw Nie Qian sitting by the window. She walked over to sit down, and only ordered a glass of mineral water.

"Nie Qian, what can I do for you?"

Nie Qian raised his hand and extinguished most of the cigarette in the ashtray. Seeing her listless demeanor, he frowned imperceptibly: "Your body...how is it now?"

Gan Lu froze, then smiled wryly: "I'm fine."

"You actually drank white wine with me that day, are you crazy?" Nie Qian looked at her sullenly.

Gan Lu was so embarrassed, she was certainly not used to discussing her physical condition with a man, let alone his ex-boyfriend. "How did you know?"

"I met Aunt Wang and heard what she said. She felt sorry for you and said that she had a cold and could only go home to rest. In this case, you have to take care of your father. Fortunately, I went to the hospital and sat down. After a while, I finally saw that mysterious gentleman of yours appearing there to perform his duties as a son-in-law."

Gan Lu has been upset for the past few days, and she didn't take the time to call Nie Qian as her father ordered. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "I haven't thanked you for going to see my dad again."

"You're welcome. But when I went, I saw He Jingyi coming out of it. What's going on? Is it common for ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends to appear inappropriately now?"

He said this with a bit of self-mockery, Gan Lu could only continue to smile bitterly: "She has always been elusive, I don't understand her intentions."

"I just finished dinner with Lao Shen and Chairman Chen of Yixin. I heard some chatter at the banquet. It seems that Yixin is planning to acquire Xusheng. You should know about this."

"I know, but I don't care."

Nie Qian looked at her with a half-smile: "Lulu, if you really didn't care, would you go to Mr. Qin yesterday? I guess you would only go to him for Xu Sheng's matter."

Gan Lu felt no embarrassment when Nie Qian said it out, she just smiled: "I can't hide anything from you. However, I really don't care if Yixin will merge with Xusheng, that's not something I can worry about."

"President Qin should be inconvenient to openly support Xusheng now, but he can give you face by starting small-scale purchases of Xusheng's products. The rest depends on the development of the situation and Xusheng's strategy."

"I don't expect that I can come out and turn the tide. Let's all do our best." Gan Lu said indifferently, "The final result has nothing to do with me."

Nie Qian knew that Gan Lu had never been a fussy, emotionally fluctuating character, but he had never seen her so depressed, almost resigned to her fate, and couldn't help but sink in his heart: "What happened to you and your husband? How did you move?" Come here, have you separated?"

Gan Lu looked at him worriedly: "Nie Qian, I know you care about me, but this is my private matter and I don't want to discuss it with others."

"I don't have a hobby of prying into other people's privacy, but your habit of keeping everything in your heart is not good. What are your plans?"

"I have no plans. I just hope that my father's health will get better soon. I don't want to think about other things."

"Lulu, taking care of your father is not the only thing in your life. There are many things that you can't just get past if you are too lazy to think about it."

"Okay, don't come and teach me, I don't need you to remind me that I have failed completely."

"Lulu—"

"Nie Qian, I know, you are doing it for my own good." Gan Lu shook her head, "But I really don't want to talk about it. By the way, how are you doing now, are you doing well in Xinhe?"

"Do you really care about me, or do you just want to change the subject?"

Gan Lu said helplessly, "Thank you for pretending to be sloppy once in a while."

Nie Qian smiled: "Okay, let me just pretend that you care about me. The sales of several real estate projects I have promoted in Xinhe are going well, and Lao Shen has already started making random wishes for me, hoping that I will continue with him." about."

"Contract renewal? Didn't you just come back and join Xinhe?"

"I signed an open-term agreement with him. I never planned to be tied to him for a long time."

Gan Lu was a little surprised: "You don't like him, so why give up your position at Shenzhen Hongyuan and run back. You have always had long-term plans for yourself. Such short-term behavior is not like your style."

"Of course I didn't leave Hongyuan for Xinhe. My original idea was to go home and rest for a while. Old Shen went to Shenzhen to find me. After learning about his company's situation and the problems he faced, I didn't think it was difficult to deal with. And it also gave me a chance to learn more about the operation of the emerging small private real estate companies, so I agreed to cooperate with him for a period of time."

Gan Lu was still surprised, but hesitated to speak, Nie Qian said with a smile: "Ask, ask, you can ask anything, it's rare that you are a little curious about me."

"It's not curiosity, Nie Qian. You don't seem like the kind of person who would let go of a well-developed career and stop to rest. You... nothing happened, right?"

Nie Qian could understand the concern in her words, and he was silent for a while before saying: "I have been working part-time in the branch of Hongyuan Group since I was a student. When the chairman Miao went to inspect, he took a fancy to my marketing. Planning and sales performance. After graduation, I went directly to the head office for development, and he gave me a lot of space. I can say without humility that my efforts and achievements have not failed his appreciation.”

Gan Lu didn't know why he suddenly said this to herself, but just listened quietly.

"When I was going smoothly, I encountered a bottleneck in my career. The sales performance of the area I was in charge of was the most prominent in the entire group, but Miao always refused to give me a chance to take full charge of the branch. In July last year, the group appointed Come down, the person holding that position is inferior to me in terms of talent and performance. I resigned with the head office, and Mr. Miao talked to me personally, trying to keep me."

Nie Qian stopped, took out the cigarette case, and took out a cigarette. He had already taken out the lighter, but he stopped again and threw the cigarette on the table: "That conversation shocked me a lot, and it made me think about it for a long time."

Gan Lu knew that Nie Qian was the kind of person who set goals early, and had his own way of thinking and acting, and would not easily accept other people's opinions and influences.It was not easy to elicit such a strong reaction from him with a single conversation, and Mr. Miao was also very human.

Nie Qian looked at a place not far away, fell into deep thought, paused for a while, and said in a calm voice: "Mr. Miao said that he has always admired me and has no doubts about my ability to work, but there is only one thing that he thinks It is not only my advantage, but also a shortcoming that restricts my development, that is, I am too focused on my career and have too much ambition."

Gan Lu couldn't help wondering: "If you are not dedicated to your career and eager to succeed, how can you achieve work results? Is there a problem?"

"He thinks my personality will bring me success in my career, but at the same time it will make me obsessed with the gains and losses of one city and one place, unable to establish a big picture. In this case, let me be in charge of all It’s too early for the project to work.”

Gan Lu didn't quite understand such a profound theory, so she hesitated: "It seems that what he means is that you still need to practice."

"That's right. His words touched me a lot. After I thought about it carefully, I still insisted on resigning, hoping to change the environment and think more clearly about the way to go in the future. He agreed and told me at the same time, in fact, he used to work with I'm just as persistent, but I slowly realized that if you're too persistent, you won't be able to enjoy the fun of work and life, and he hopes I don't have to wait until he's as old as he is to realize this."

"But after you listened to what he said, it's really a weird choice to write a letter to such a company instead of going to a company with more development prospects."

Nie Qian smiled: "When the old trustor Shen contacted me, I really didn't consider him an ideal choice. But when I heard his hometown accent, I suddenly thought of you."

Gan Lu was startled: "Is there any connection between this?"

"Don't be afraid, I don't want to rely on you for a decision," Nie Qian said with obvious teasing, "I just thought that if I hadn't focused on my goals and thought about us more, my life would have changed." Big difference."

"Don't make that kind of assumption, Nie Qian," Gan Lu calmed down, "I think no matter what choice you make, you are doomed to have gains and losses. If you don't focus on your goals, you won't achieve today's results .For you, success is the greatest joy and enjoyment in life, and I can't imagine that you would allow yourself to miss success."

"You know me well, yes, that's what I've always expected of myself. When you told me to break up, I was just a planning manager. I thought, well, I really need to work towards my goals without worrying about anything, and I didn't Power can't give you anything but dominates you. You made a rational decision, and I should accept it equally rationally."

Gan Lu didn't expect to go around, and talked about the breakup: "That's a thing in the past. Fortunately, we didn't hate each other. When we meet again, we are still friends. We can sit down and have a good talk, and we don't have any regrets..."

"But I have regrets," Nie Qian cut off her words, "Frankly speaking, I thought I would gradually forget about you, work hard, and approach my goal step by step. When I received your call the day before your wedding , I just served as the youngest sales director in the entire group. At that time, only work occupied my whole life, but as soon as I heard your voice, I realized that I still miss you and can't let you go. "

Gan Lu's hand involuntarily grabbed the skirt of the shirt under the table, and it took a while before she spoke: "Nie Qian, forget about that phone call, I've already explained it, and I didn't mean to disturb your life."

"Yes, you are married, so I had to go back to Shenzhen to continue working. Everyone lived the life they wanted to live. But slowly I discovered that the so-called success is actually a thing that is difficult to define, and it will never even have an end .Sometimes, as Mr. Miao said, you have worked so hard to conquer cities and lands, and you have won one city and one land. Before you can be complacent or relieved, you will see someone has already passed by you, climbed to a higher place, and looked up. There is always someone in front of you, and you are always alone."

Nie Qian stopped suddenly, picked up the cigarette, lit one without consulting Gan Lu, took a deep breath, the smoke lingered between the two of them, and they fell into silence at the same time.

Gan Lu thought, it would be pointless to review the phone call she made.She dialed his number in hesitation, and he was in a state of hesitation.She thought she was sensible enough to arrange her own life; he thought he was firm enough not to look back on that period of youthful and fragile feelings that were too late to be deep.But after all, they are young, unable to determine their own choices, and will still question themselves after making a decision.

This is the first time he has expressed his heart to her so directly, even in the sweetest moment of love, he seldom talked about his inner feelings, not to mention that they were separated in two places most of the time.Gan Lu felt that in the face of his calmness, what she said was superfluous.

"Did I scare you?" Nie Qian flicked off the cigarette ash and smiled slightly.

"Nie Qian. I'm married and you have a girlfriend now. It's really inconvenient to talk to me like this..."

"Who told you I have a girlfriend?"

"Zhizhi told me yesterday."

Nie Qian frowned, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "No wonder you refused to let me see you off yesterday."

"You should also know the relationship between me and the Qin family. It's better for us to have less contact in the future, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

"Are you afraid of her? I've heard about your toughness, and you've scuffled with her since you were young. I never thought you would fight with others."

Gan Lu jokingly said, "Has she started to reminisce about the good times with you? It's going really well."

"You seem to be disapproving."

"Where do I have a position to agree or disagree? No, no, no, I don't express my opinion, I am optimistic."

Nie Qian pressed the cigarette heavily into the ashtray. Gan Lu was taken aback by this sudden action, and he said coldly, "I don't think I've had dinner with her or hit Snow a few times. Ke, became her boyfriend."

Only then did Gan Lu realize that the joke just now probably offended him, so she had to apologize: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't talk about your personal affairs casually."

"Do you know why Boss Qin asked me out yesterday?" Nie Qian didn't wait for Gan Lu to answer, and continued, "He invited me to join Wanfeng."

Gan Lu hesitated and asked him, "Have you reached an agreement?"

"Wanfeng's scale is much larger than that of Xinhe, and his offer is very attractive. As a boss, he is much more talented and thoughtful than Shen Jiaxing. His company should still have a lot of room for development. However, I didn't say yes."

"Is it related to Zhizhi?"

Nie Qian sneered: "Lulu, do you think I might make a decision because of her wishes?"

Gan Lu was silent for a moment: "Nie Qian, in fact, you don't need to be so angry at all. Based on what I know about you, I can't use your choice to insinuate something; your resume is here, Qin is always a businessman, he If you want to hire someone, you must first look at the other person's talent; even Zhizhi doesn't necessarily want to use her father's company to lure you, have you never thought about the possibility that she really likes you?"

Nie Qian was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice had returned to calm: "You are right, I do lack a little sense of normalcy in this matter, so I am easily offended."

"People like us who come from an ordinary family background have a little bit of self-esteem, and they will probably be a little subconscious. My mother often satirizes me, and I also think I am ridiculous. When it comes to a last resort, don't you have to give up your persistence and go to the door to find Qin Always help?"

Nie Qian smiled slightly: "I will always remember your stubbornness when you were 17 years old. Even if you asked for help, you would not lose your momentum."

Recalling the past, Gan Lu also smiled: "I was just relying on my mother to feel guilty towards me. It was better at that time, when my thoughts were simple, and I dared to speak out confidently no matter whether it was reasonable or not. Now, I don't have that calmness any more. gone."

"What you said to Mr. Qin is not to embarrass him, nor is it an unreasonable request. Why think that your posture is ugly."

"It's hard to say whether it's ugly or not, at least Zhizhi won't find my posture attractive." Gan Lu shook her head, "I can't care about that much anymore."

"Are you using yourself as an example to comfort me? Lulu, you are always so kind, but you never thought that I don't mind other people's opinions at all. What I mind is that you will misunderstand me."

"Don't say that." Gan Lu blurted out, a little nervous, and then tried to slow down her tone, "I mean..."

"Come on, there's no need to explain. You are someone else's wife. I can understand that you don't want me to take you as a prerequisite for making a choice, but I don't want you to misunderstand my motivation for making a choice. Mr. Qin made suggestions to me At that time, he was sure of my achievements, and he talked about his company's long-term planning, and did not mention his daughter at all. I think he knows Zhizhi's whim much better than I do. As for me, I know Qin Miss doesn't feel it."

Gan Lu was speechless for a moment.

"I have my own considerations when I come back to work this time, but I really want to see how your life is going. Originally, I was going to say these words to no one, so that it would rot in my heart, but seeing you again, I just couldn’t help but want you to know.”

"Don't talk about Nie Qian," Gan Lu tried to calm down, "You criticized me just now. It's not a good habit to keep everything in your heart. In fact, you also take too many things in your heart. What happened when we were young, just A memory, there is no need to immerse yourself in it."

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who's obsessed with the past?" Nie Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Don't be nervous, Lulu, I'm not confessing to you, I'm not a lover, I don't miss you all day long, I don't even care about you. I know whether I still love you like this, but no one can make me feel the way I used to feel towards you, and I'm not sure if I will in the future."

"If you are willing to let go of your arms and love someone, of course you can find a suitable girlfriend."

"What is suitable? Is it love at first sight, or similar interests, or is it more mundane - economic conditions match, can provide a springboard for advancement?" Nie Qian asked.

Gan Lu could only shrug her shoulders: "I can't tell, I'm really not qualified to be a relationship consultant for others."

"When I was 20 years old, I could blurt out and ask the girl on the other end of the Internet to be my girlfriend. Frankly speaking, I can't find that impulse anymore. Work can bring me a sense of accomplishment, but now I even work hard on my own. None of the success I got could make me as excited as before. If I am willing to accept a marriage that can bring real benefits and take shortcuts to success, then it must be after I am pessimistic about the heights I can achieve with my own ability, at least Right now, I have no reason to be pessimistic, I am still willing to keep the heartbeat in my heart."

"Nie Qian, you've made it difficult for me. I've been married a long time ago. It's not appropriate to sit here and listen to your words, let alone respond to you."

"Originally this was my secret. But yesterday you clearly saw me and got into the taxi immediately. I knew that you would try to avoid me in the future, so I had no choice but to tell you directly." Nie Qian said flatly, " Of course, you don’t have to feel embarrassed, I don’t think that if I tell my feelings, you have an obligation to respond to me.”

Gan Lu was so distraught that she couldn't help but think about her own life: "Let's not let memories become secrets. Living a life with secrets artificially hurts others and yourself. You are just too focused on work and don't have time to start new relationships. A deeper sense of the past."

"Now you have the professional habit of a teacher." Nie Qian said with a slightly sarcastic tone, "Always try to persuade others to live a correct life."

"Who can be sure that the life you choose must be correct." Gan Lu put down the coffee cup in her hand sadly, "Nie Qian, I am very happy to know that I used to be a special part of your life. This proves that you are not what I imagined before. I don’t care about me or feelings. But the past can only be put in the past. I hope you open your arms to love someone, trust her, rely on her, let her share your joy, share your pain Alone, life is complete."

Nie Qian smiled: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I won't bother you with my worries again. It's getting late, you go back and rest."
