Chapter 119:

Zhou Chao’s attacks on visiting his mother came one after another, and they even became more and more outrageous.

He even had Xia Jinxian in mind.

Xia Jinxian accompanied Xue Cheng on research that day and arranged a negotiation meeting in the evening.

Unexpectedly, on such an occasion, Bi Haibo, the deputy director of the Science and Technology Commission, said throughout the whole process that He Mingdong was nepotistic and asked Xia Jinxian if he was so.

Xia Jinxian didn't even answer a word.

Although she didn't answer the call, Lu Mingwei bumped into her a few days later and asked her, "Have you ever complained to Bi Haibo?"

Xia Jinxian reacted very quickly and immediately understood that Bi Haibo was deliberately trying to trick her that day. , maybe even recording.

Even if she didn't say anything, she would still be slandered. If she really said a few words, how could it be repaid?

Xia Jinxian went to inquire around and found out from Cen Peiling that Bi Haibo and Zhou Chao had a very good relationship.

Bi Haibo's daughter's work was arranged by Zhou Chao. No wonder he was willing to serve as a pawn and came to call the formation.

However, after this incident, she felt that Xu Yanqing was right.

No conspiracy or trick can defeat an upright person, but he remains calm.

When Ren Zhouchao and Xu Yanqing were fighting, she concentrated on her own affairs and kept all the district committee affairs in order, making both He Mingdong and Xue Cheng very satisfied with her.

Late June is the yellow plum season.

The decoration of the new home was hampered by rain, which also made Xia Jinxian look at the calendar and see an important day.

She went to Xu Yanqing with the coffee cake and afternoon tea she had ordered.

After Zhao Yuanzhou was promoted to Area F, Investment Committee Directors Lu Guozheng and Xu Yanqing followed him even more closely.

It was also because of a previous trip to the capital with He Mingdong and Xu Yanqing that Lu Guozheng understood that the resources Xu Yanqing had were beyond his imagination.

Lu Guozheng was also a smart man. He followed Xu Yanqing closely and received a lot of support from Xu Yanqing. He was in the limelight for a while, and he seemed to be the number one person in charge of the committee.

At this time, Lu Guozheng was in Xu Yanqing's office. When he saw Xia Jinxian coming in, he quickly stood up and left.

He also greeted Xia Jinxian politely and courteously, "Director Xia."

Xia Jinxian smiled at him and greeted him with a calm and humble attitude, neither humble nor overbearing.

As a celebrity around He Mingdong and Xue Cheng, Xia Jinxian now doesn't have to rely on Xu Yanqing's name. She herself is the target of everyone's pursuit.

Everyone familiar with the matter knows that He Mingdong actually prefers Xia Jinxian. Otherwise, why would he go to the capital with Xia Jinxian instead of Bai Hua?

Even if Xu Yanqing's factors were involved, Xia Jinxian was responsible for the two subsequent receptions of ministerial leaders. On the contrary, Bai Hua was now more like the director of the inspection office than the director of the entire district committee office.

Xia Jinxian handles all the major and minor affairs handled by the district committee and the leadership arrangements. It is obvious at a glance who is the real housekeeper.

A burst of rain suddenly fell outside the window. Xia Jinxian closed the window for him, and Xu Yanqing walked behind her and gently hugged her.

She leaned in his arms and smelled the scent of camphor after the rain in the distance, as if she were back ten years ago when there was a camphor tree outside the window where they lived together.

Xia Jinxian said to Xu Yanqing, "The day after tomorrow is my mother's death anniversary, and I want to go and pay tribute."

Xu Yanqing responded, hugged her tightly and said, "Xiaoxian, I'm sorry." I'm

sorry that when she needed him most, left her.

Xia Jinxian shook her head and said, "It's okay. It's all over. It's just a thought."

Xu Yanqing said, "I feel sad when I think of you spending that time alone."

Xia Jinxian looked out the window and reached out to touch his face. , "Aqing, I feel sorry for you too, and the lonely days you lived."

Loving someone is not only about seeing his goodness, but also about being able to understand his pain.

On the anniversary of Xia Jinxian's mother's death, Xu Yanqing put aside everything and accompanied Xia Jinxian to visit the grave.

It rained, and there were ponds on the ground. The occasional rainwater falling from the leaves created ripples in the ponds.

There is the fragrance of camphor in the air, and the cemetery is very quiet.

Xia Jinxian was held by Xu Yanqing's hand, walked to her mother's tombstone, and put down the chrysanthemum she was holding.

"Mom, I brought Ah Qing to see you." Xia Jinxian stood in front of the tombstone and talked to her mother.

Xu Yanqing held a big black umbrella in his hand and stood silently behind Xia Jinxian. He put a hand on her shoulder and looked at the photo of Xia Jinxian's mother on the tombstone.

Zhu Hongmei seemed to be the same as she remembered, her face was not very good, but her eyes looked very pure and kind.

Xia Jinxian stood in front of her mother's tombstone, feeling sad inside.

Thinking back then, Xu Yanqing left him first, and then his mother.

"My mother asked me to elope with you back then. I regretted it countless times later. I should have listened to her advice and married you. Would everything have been different? Maybe, I wouldn't have lost my mother."

It's a pity . , There are no ifs in life. When I made a choice back then, how could I have predicted the many ups and downs in my subsequent life?

Xu Yanqing held her shoulders tightly and said after a long time, "I'm sorry, auntie, I couldn't be with Xiaoxian when she needed her most."

Xia Jinxian took a deep breath and trembled slightly, but in the end Still restrained.

After so many years, it is meaningless to look back on the past.

"It's a pity that my mother and Uncle Wu were in love. I later heard Aunt Sun Jun talk about my mother's love affair with Uncle Wu. It makes me sad when I think about how we were separated forever." Xia Jinxian thought of Wu Tingtao crying in front of her that day. Looks like, still extremely regretful.

The two people put down the sacrifices and burned the tin foil, and it started to rain again, bit by bit.

Xu Yanqing held up an umbrella to protect Xia Jinxian from the rain.

Row after row of tombstones in the cemetery, looking around, are all relatives that the living can never get back.

Holding hands and looking at each other, facing death, we realize the shortness of life, and we also see through the ups and downs of fame and fortune.

After a while, the sky cleared up after the rain, and the sunshine turned the dark clouds into a golden rim. Xia Jinxian said, "Aqing, I'm actually timid. I'm afraid of dying behind you. If that happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the loneliness in the future." "So, let me go in front of you, okay?"

Xu Yanqing hugged her and smelled the fragrance of her hair and said, "Okay."

The topic of death is sad and heavy, but if you can have your lover accompany you in the final moment, What kind of happiness and contentment is it?

In order to change Xia Jinxian's mood, Xu Yanqing took her to the riverside and found a hotel for afternoon tea.

Just after dessert was served, Xu Yanqing received a call from Ye Maocong.

Ye Maocong said, "The inspection team from the Organization Department came here in mid-July."

Xu Yanqing understood immediately and asked strangely, "Why did you tell me? Shouldn't you tell Secretary He?"

Ye Maocong said, "I told you, and I'll remind you by the way. "

Although Ye Maocong's words had no beginning or end, Xu Yanqing knew that they must be reminding him to pay attention recently.

Ye Maocong said again, "Mom misses Xiaoxian. She will come to Shanghai at the end of the month. You can lend me my sister."

Xu Yanqing said, "I can tie it up myself and lend it out."

Ye Maocong said with a sigh, "You lend me your favor. " You can consider it."

Xu Yanqing said with a smile, "It's not impossible."

Ye Maocong was speechless at his way of showing off, and he said, "Your brother-in-law, I'm busy. Remember what I reminded you."

Actually, Ye Maocong is quite happy. Interestingly, from the perspective of others, he is impeccable in his work, very popular in officialdom, and quite powerful.

But he always treats his own people with bad words and cares about them.

After listening to Xu Yanqing's narration, Xia Jinxian suddenly said, "I had a feeling before that Secretary Xue was leaving."

Xu Yanqing looked at Xia Jinxian, but before he could speak, Lu Mingwei called Xia Jinxian.

Lu Mingwei asked her, "Xiaoxia, are you busy? Is it convenient to talk?"

Lu Mingwei used to be her leader and always spoke in a commanding manner. She didn't expect that Lu Mingwei would be so polite now that he has changed his identity.

But Xia Jinxian was humble and said quickly, "I'm not busy. Chairman, please give me your instructions."

Lu Mingwei wanted to ask Xu Yanqing for help. He hoped that Xia Jinxian could help blow the pillow wind and asked Xu Yanqing to help a company with financing. He also said Ask the person in charge of the company to visit their home in the evening.

Xia Jinxian gestured to Xu Yanqing, and Xu Yanqing immediately knew that it was the company that Lu Mingweituo had come to say hello to before.

He didn't agree at the time, but if Xia Jinxian asked, he wouldn't refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yanqing said, "Xiaoxian, you are still soft-hearted."

Xia Jinxian took a bite of cake and said, "After all, he took me in back then."

Xu Yanqing looked up at her and said nothing.

Xia Jinxian thought that she could get out of the Archives Bureau thanks to Xu Yanqing's care, but it had nothing to do with Lu Mingwei.

Even though they were separated in those years, Xia Jinxian was still remembered by him. Xia Jinxian was a little moved, so she pinched a piece of sandwich and fed it to his mouth.

The two of them had afternoon tea, but Xu Yanqing was urged to go back by a work call.

Lei Mingjin informed Xu Yanqing that the State Investment Department had come to review the use of funds for major projects. The working group had arrived in Shanghai and would prepare a situation report in the afternoon. District Chief Xie asked Xu Yanqing to go back for discussion.

The two of them could only end their rare leisure time and go back to work.

However, Xia Jinxian asked, "With Director Xu of the State Investment Department here, why do we still have to worry about this kind of inspection?"

Xu Yanqing was not so optimistic. He said, "Generally, inspections come, and they often come with a purpose. Maybe they are not from the ministry." It's about cooperating with the investigation."

Xia Jinxian stopped joking and asked him, "Is it related to Zhou Chao?"

Xu Yanqing scratched her cheek and said, "Apart from Zhou Chao, there are many people who want to mess with me. Now, isn't there Han Jianjun?"

Xia Jinxian sighed after hearing this, "That's right, they still can't swallow it."

Xu Yan said calmly, "I heard a few days ago that Han Yun's children were not born, and there were more than five. The fetus stopped at the end of the month."

Xia Jinxian exclaimed.

She didn't expect this at all. She thought that Han Yun would stop after getting married and having children. Even if Li Yun made things difficult, she would be able to get through it in the end.

But if Han Yun fails here, will she come back to Xu Yanqing?

Xu Yanqing continued, "The old man of the Su family is not in good health, but it doesn't matter. Even if I can't beat Han Jianjun, I can still fight Zhou Chao. Otherwise, I have been living in the capital for nothing in the past few years."

Even if Xu Yanqing said it so lightly . , Xia Jinxian can still detect the light and shadow of the sword behind it.

Xu Yanqing told her to just let her be on guard.

But he was actually holding on to all the storms alone.

Xia Jinxian suddenly said, "Forget about Lu Mingwei's matter, right?"

Xu Yanqing smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just an accommodation, not a violation. It's fine."

She asked him again, "Really? " Are you okay?"

Xu Yanqing said helplessly, "Xiaoxian, trust me, I have a sense of responsibility."

At 8 o'clock that night, Lu Mingwei asked the person in charge of the company to come downstairs.

Xia Jinxian asked the person to go upstairs. The person in charge was followed by an assistant and a driver. The driver was carrying something.

Xia Jinxian's delicate mind understood what the other party meant, but she didn't take the shoe covers or slippers. Instead, she said, "Yan Qing hasn't come back yet. He made an appointment to talk about something in the cafe opposite. I'll take you there."

The other party thought . Putting down the things, Xia Jinxian said, "Our family Yan Qing makes the decision. I can't get involved in this kind of thing. You should come with me."

The person in charge wanted to pretend to be stupid, so Xia Jinxian put on her clothes and changed her shoes. Directly in front of them, he took something in his hand and handed it over.

In this case, the other party can only hold it.

Xia Jinxian pressed the elevator button and called Xu Yanqing, "Aqing, they're here. Let's go to the cafe opposite to find you."

After hearing this, Xu Yanqing knew what Xia Jinxian meant. The tacit understanding between the two people didn't need to be explained. , Xia Jinxian took the person in charge, assistant and others to the cafe. Xu Yanqing had just arrived and was helping Xia Jinxian order hot chocolate.

The person in charge of the other party wanted to pay the bill, but Xu Yanqing stopped him. He took Xia Jinxian's hand, and the two of them bought drinks. They also asked each other symbolically what they wanted to drink. Of course, the other party said no, and Xu Yanqing didn't force it.

Xia Jinxian looked at the two sides and said, "I'm a little tired today, so I'm going back first. Come back early and don't be too late, okay?"

Xu Yanqing knew that she didn't want to inquire too much about things related to his work, so she gave him some information by the way. After leaving excuses and excuses, she said with a gentle smile, "Take a shower and go to bed early. I'll be back soon."

Xia Jinxian then said goodbye to the other party and went back with hot cocoa.

When Xu Yanqing came back empty-handed after talking about the matter, Xia Jinxian had just come out of the shower.

Xu Yanqing took off her shoes and came over, hugged her and asked, "Do you think I'm too timid?"

Xia Jinxian asked strangely, "Why?"

Xu Yanqing hugged her and said, "I don't dare to take a box of oranges, you say " What

if it's a golden orange? Normal oranges are not that heavy."

Xu Yanqing also smiled and said, "It seems that you have figured out how to get it in the

fruit basket ." Some cash or gold bars or something was put in it.

Xia Jinxian stood on tiptoe to kiss him and said to him, "Aqing, this is how I love you."

He gently touched her soft hair and said, "Han Yun always thought I was fake and noble in the past."

Now that he thought about it, he was talking to Han In Yun's marriage, she was always depressed and frustrated.

Speaking of Han Yun, Xia Jinxian asked, "Will she come to you again?" Xu Yanqing asked

, "Coming to me for bigamy?"

Yun's background. Look, Lu Mingwei came to me after knowing that I was your wife. Will this kind of thing happen less often in the future? "
