super rich

Pushing the door open, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help sighing, Ye Qingxue's courtyard is extremely elegant, completely Chinese style, but after entering the door, there is a screen wall with auspicious pictures carved on it.Bypassing the screen wall and entering the courtyard, the walkway paved with bluestone slabs leads to the main room and the left and right side rooms in a cross shape.There are three main rooms, two wing rooms on the left and two sides, and an auricle connecting the main room and the wing rooms.Two tall jujube trees are planted in front of the main house, and osmanthus, crabapple, pomegranate, rhododendron and other flowers and trees of different sizes are planted next to it, which appear patchwork and lush.

There is also a gazebo built in the courtyard, in which there are stone round tables and stone benches, and next to it is a small pond, which is artificially built, surrounded by a circle of pebbles on the ground, and there are a few pieces of lotus floating in the pond. Ye, I think the pond is a living source of water, and the goldfish in it are swimming around leisurely, making waves on the surface of the water.

"Don't have a hole in the sky!" Chen Mingyuan looked around the courtyard with Jiangnan characteristics, and then looked at the winding peaks and winding streams around the courtyard, which looked like a unique landscape painting, "Is this all designed by you?"

Ye Qingxue followed behind, glanced at him lightly, and said: "I don't have this kind of leisure and leisure... It's not all good news. If you take my Taoyuan Residence, you will give me back one."

Chen Mingyuan smiled and said: "The style of this courtyard is comparable to that of Taoyuan Residence, but the scenery is better. Let me choose, I would rather choose this place."

Ye Qingxue was stunned, with a hint of weirdness in her eyes, and after a while, she said expressionlessly: "You are quite greedy, taking one is not enough, and you are planning on me again!"

Chen Mingyuan smiled and didn't explain much. After wandering around for a while, he found some exquisite side dishes on the round table of the gazebo, which were beautifully made, and there was a white porcelain wine bottle beside him, so he joked: "It's no wonder there were no people on the day of the opening. It turned out that they were hiding here and eating alone."

"This is my home, what do I like, can you control it... Hey, who allows you to touch my cup!" Ye Qingxue saw Chen Mingyuan sitting straight on the stone bench, and picked up the porcelain cup, and immediately followed went up to protest.

"Why are you in a hurry, don't you still have the cup?" Chen Mingyuan poured himself a cup, smelled it, it was sweet rice wine, and looked at it, the water quality was quite sweet and pure, presumably it was brewed directly from the mountain stream , "Beautiful scenery and good wine and food, isn't it too wasteful for you alone."

"Why are you always such a scoundrel!" Ye Qingxue gritted her teeth secretly, but after thinking about it, it seems that only at this time, Chen Mingyuan's speech and behavior can be so casual and cynical. , There was a warm current in my heart.

It is true that walking in the frightening officialdom, Chen Mingyuan had to restrain a lot of his true nature. He had to wear a false mask all the time, speak clichés against his will, and deal with this eloquent vanity fair, and he was probably very tired and helpless in his heart.

Perhaps his truest side can only be released without any scruples when he gets along with Mu Jiayin, Ye Qingxue, Cen Ruohan and a few confidante friends.

Seeing his joy from the bottom of her heart, Ye Qingxue stopped arguing and sat down opposite him in a curvaceous posture, pretending to be nonchalant and said: "They are all mountain vegetables, if you don't mind, I can do whatever I want."

"As you get older, it's still the easiest to eat these plain dishes." Chen Mingyuan held up the porcelain cup with both hands, and said with a smile, "Come on, first of all, congratulations on your opening, and moving to a new home."

Ye Qingxue also picked up the wine glass, and said softly, "Thank you..." She raised her goose neck and drank it.

The breeze blows, the willow silk is like a ribbon, and there is a piece of greenery, and the waterfall in the canyon in the distance is echoing leisurely.

The two casually ate food and wine. Although there was not much talk during the dinner, neither of them felt bored. On the contrary, they both enjoyed this rare and pleasant time.

"Next, have you decided where to go?" Ye Qingxue finally couldn't help asking.

Chen Mingyuan took a mouthful of squirrel mandarin fish, chewed it carefully in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I can't say for sure, but my family and Jiayin want me to go to Jianghuai Province."

The outstanding achievements in Ruining made Chen Mingyuan's next promotion a matter of course. At first, Chen Guoliang wanted Chen Mingyuan to return to Zhonghai, where he would be gilded in the districts and counties below. In addition, it was the headquarters of his own faction, which was enough to have a relatively loose A stable platform environment, but this proposal was rejected by the old man. It can be seen that the old man hopes that his grandson can gradually get rid of the stigma of the Zhonghai Department.

Based on this, the Mu family also gave their own opinions. As early as when Chen Mingyuan came back from studying abroad, when he was playing chess in the Mujiayuan, Mu Dingyin played a drum in his ear and suggested that Chen Mingyuan come to Jianghuai Province for development. Jianghuai Province is the back garden of the Mu family, and there are many direct descendants in the political arena and military circles, which will definitely play a more powerful role; moreover, compared with Dongjiang Province and Zhonghai City, Jianghuai Province has a more stable political environment and can concentrate on doing things; of course, this It is also considering that Chen Mingyuan and Mu Jiayin are about to get married, and staying in Jianghuai Province will also benefit family relations.

Ye Qingxue nodded, and said lightly: "It's good to go to Jianghuai Province, it's close to Mu's house and yours." But a faint look flashed across her face, "Then I also wish you a smooth career in advance, and good luck." The official enters the rank!" Then he drank the wine in the glass.

Chen Mingyuan frowned slightly. Although it was rice wine, he couldn't hold back such continuous sips. "Drink less, there is no need to get yourself drunk."

"I drank it all, you can figure it out!" Ye Qingxue turned the porcelain cup upside down, pursed her cherry lips and raised her eyebrows.

Chen Mingyuan had no choice but to drink up the wine in his glass.

Seeing that he had finished drinking, Ye Qingxue picked up the wine bottle and poured their glasses again, this time it was a bit full, "I wish you and Jiayin a happy marriage in advance with this glass..." After finishing speaking, she He raised his head and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.

The effect of alcohol made that face blush, making it even more charming. Looking at Ye Qingxue's cheerful look, Chen Mingyuan held the porcelain cup in his hand and said in silence for a while, "I also wish you to find your own happiness soon..."

Ye Qingxue shook her head and murmured: "I will never get married in this life..." Seeing that Chen Mingyuan hesitated to speak, she waved her hand: "You don't need to say anything, in fact, I understand in my heart that a strong and cold woman like me Not many men in the world would like her personality, and besides, I might not be willing to be restrained by emotions."

"Let me tell you a story."

Ye Qingxue first brushed her hair with both hands, then dragged her cheeks, and said with flickering eyes: "It happened more than ten years ago. At that time, I was washing dishes in a restaurant in Paris. The boss was a Chinese couple. The man is honest and unsociable, but fortunately his wife is very shrewd and capable, and keeps the restaurant in order. Although the male boss has been under the supervision of the proprietress, he is generally affectionate, but one day, the man suddenly ran away and went with a widow……"

Seeing Chen Mingyuan's surprised gaze, she tilted her head and smiled, "That's right, she is a widow with a child. I also thought it was incredible at the time. I couldn't understand that a man would abandon the relationship with him in such a way." A bittersweet wife, I only remember the man who has always been submissive, and the last sentence he said to the lady boss was 'I've had enough'!"

Chen Mingyuan was silent for a while, and asked, "What happened to the proprietress?"

Ye Qingxue pursed her lips, and sighed: "The proprietress couldn't bear the blow, and then she became very irritable, and she would get angry at every turn. The staff of the restaurant were driven away by her fiercely. I endured it for a year, until After saving enough money to open the store, I asked her to resign... Unexpectedly, the proprietress didn't blame me, but gave me an extra sum of money and encouraged me."

"I was very moved at the time, so I comforted her to let go and start a new life, but the proprietress said that she wanted to stick to the store, wait for her husband to come back, and then start again... I think she is so stupid, but seeing her so Persisted, I didn’t say anything. Before leaving, the proprietress warned me: career and family, a woman must have at least one item, and her biggest mistake was to put everything on that man. It's all for this family, but when she leaves, she can no longer find the motivation to support her, so the only thing she can do is to keep the last hope and wait for her ex-husband to come back."

Chen Mingyuan responded silently. Obviously, this incident had a great impact on Ye Qingxue. The shadow of her childhood caused her to feel insecure all the time, and the fact that her relationship broke up undoubtedly pushed her to an extreme: instead of betting her life on confusing In terms of feelings, it is better to stick to one's own career to be more reliable.

Ye Qingxue sighed sadly: "The next morning, when I passed by the restaurant, there were policemen and crowds outside, and I realized that after I left last night, the proprietress turned on the gas tank..." Speaking of which, Ye Qing A look of sadness flashed in Xue's eyes, she reached out and picked up the flagon again, shook it, but found it was empty.

"Come here, don't drink..." Chen Mingyuan advised.

But Ye Qingxue picked up the wine bottle by herself, walked slowly to the pond, then bent over and sank the porcelain bottle into the water, filled half a bottle of clear water up, then sat down again, poured herself a drink, drank After drinking two glasses of water, he suddenly smiled: "Good wine!"

"You drink water!" Chen Mingyuan smiled wryly.

"Haven't you heard a word?" Ye Qingxue smiled bitterly: "Alcohol does not make people drunk, but people get drunk."

Yes, if a person wants to get drunk, even drinking water can make him numb.

Looking at the blurred eyes, Chen Mingyuan also smiled, snatched the wine bottle from her hand, then poured it down with his head up, and then wiped his mouth: "Yes, it is indeed a good wine!"

The two smiled at each other, but their emotions were a little subtle.

Ye Qingxue watched him silently for a long time, then suddenly raised her hand to beckon.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mingyuan moved to the side stone bench, but before he could react, Ye Qingxue leaned his head on his shoulder with a gust of fragrant wind.

"Don't say anything, just lean on your shoulder, I'm a little tired." Ye Qingxue whispered dreamily, and closed her eyes.

Looking sideways at her serene face, Chen Mingyuan felt complicated and unspeakable emotions flowing in his heart.

Ye Qingxue rubbed against his shoulder, and fell asleep with even breathing.

Chen Mingyuan didn't bother her, and let her lean on, looking at the surrounding green mountains and green waters, silently lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

About ten minutes passed, until the bell rang, Ye Qingxue opened her bright eyes as if awakened, and slowly sat back on her body. Although her cheeks were dyed with rich rosiness, her expression was quite natural. She brushed her hair and said softly "Thank you, I feel much more comfortable." Looking at the phone in his hand again, he said, "You answer it first, I'll go inside and wash my face."

After finishing speaking, he walked into the room gracefully.

Chen Mingyuan sighed secretly, and connected to the phone. It was Cen Ruohan's. Before he had time to exchange greetings, Cen Ruohan said in a deep voice, "Mingyuan, something happened to Ren Tianping..."
