Chapter 68: Returning from the lost path

. Ye Maocong just wanted to comfort him.

Xia Jinxian continued, "I've thought about it. It was me who was cowardly last time because I caused his career to be ruined. It was me who caused his failure in his appointment. In fact, I never blamed him for everything I went through later. Him. But after I knew that he had not given up like me over the years, I made up my mind that I would not give up this time, unless we no longer fell in love."

Ye Maocong asked her, "Will it?"

Xia Jinxian pointed out. Point to your own lips.

Ye Maocong was puzzled.

Xia Jinxian smiled a little cheekily and said, "When he kissed me, it was sweet." Ye Maocong said with a dark face, "You don't need to tell me." Xia Jinxian said, "How could I not share such a good thing with you?" Ye Maocong said with a dark face. 

After ruffling her hair vigorously, he said, "Thank you!" 

However, since talking to Ye Maocong before, the relationship between the two people has naturally turned into a relationship of half brother and sister, half friends. It's quite easy to get along with him. 

When Wu Tingtao came back, he saw the two of them talking and laughing, but he misunderstood. 

During lunch, I kept trying to bring the two of them together. 

In the end, Ye Maocong couldn't bear it any longer, patted Wu Tingtao on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoxian and I have become brothers and sisters to Guan Gongyi and Jinlan at your door. I will take care of her in this life. Can you rest assured?" 

Wu Tingtao? She was surprised and asked, "Why?" 

Xia Jinxian scratched her head, not wanting to mention Xu Yanqing in front of Wu Tingtao, so she picked up vegetables, poured tea, and winked at Ye Maocong. 

How good is Ye Maocong at observing words and expressions? Knowing that Xia Jinxian did not want to tell Wu Tingtao about her past with Xu Yanqing, the topic was interrupted by Ye Maocong. 

After the banquet ended, Ye Maocong leaned into Xia Jinxian's ear and said, "You owe me a favor." 

Xia Jinxian clasped her hands and said, "Brother, if you have something to do in the future, please give me your instructions. Today's incident will be unforgettable for my little sister." 

Ye Maocong said, "My instructions No need, can I ask, why did you hide the matter between you and Xu Yanqing from Uncle Wu?" 

Speaking of this, Xia Jinxian said a little embarrassed, "In his eyes, Xu Yanqing is a heartless man. In addition, he is still asking Lawyer Ling to help Xu Yanqing with the lawsuit. I don’t want to cause any complications.” 

Ye Maocong shrugged, “Your relationship is too complicated. I’m afraid it will be difficult not to cause complications after the matter is revealed. Han Yun and I have known each other since childhood. , I know very well what kind of character she is. But let’s talk, if you have no chance with Xu Yanqing this time, why not try me? After all, I can eat candy before kissing you.” 

Xia Jinxian didn’t expect Ye Maocong to be shameless. Being able to be so difficult to deal with really means that the minister has no baggage at all. 

She asked, dumbfounded, "Do I need to eat Coptis chinensis in advance?" 

Ye Maocong laughed, knocked her on the head, and said, "If you need anything, come to me." Then without further words, he got into the driver's car. gone. 

While Xia Jinxian was chatting and relaxing at Wu Tingtao's place, Xu Yanqing accompanied Xie Benchu ​​to receive the person in charge of China Investment Group and discuss the preparations for the establishment of China Financial Services Group. 

This is an important task of the city government this year. The mayor will also attend the inauguration ceremony. 

In the city, the Assets Committee is taking the lead, and Li Yun, deputy director of the Assets Committee, is handling the matter. 

Xu Yanqing was also lukewarm towards his mother, looking businesslike. 

The business talks have been finished, and the lunch work meal has been eaten. The day's overtime work should have been ended, but Li Yun delayed Xu Yanqing on the pretext that she had something to talk to Xu Yanqing. 

Of course, others cannot stop mother and son from talking about common things. 

Although Xu Yanqing was unwilling, he still had to give his mother face in front of everyone. 

He accompanied Li Yun to see everyone off, and asked stiffly, "Mom, where are we going to chat?" 

Li Yun looked at his son and said with a cold face, "Why, you don't want to see me so much?" 

Xu Yanqing said nothing. Li Yun was even more angry. She said, "I don't know how to go home after I come back. Is it comfortable to live alone in an executive apartment? I think you are becoming more and more successful. You are not the same as a guy who graduated from a TV university." Chu, you are lucky to be back in the city this time. What will you do if you are sent to the border next time?" 

Based on the photos Su Liumei sent, she found someone to check the person's origin and he had already gone there that week. I've found that little girl. 

The little girl obviously didn't know what Li Yun was doing, and she even tried to deceive Li Yun, saying that Xu Yanqing chased her first. 

However, Li Yun had made preparations in advance. Before the girl understood the situation, she received a call from the bookstore informing her of her dismissal. 

Li Yun never hesitates in solving these problems. 

She handed the girl a check, a stick and a carrot, and sent the girl away directly. 

But Xu Yanqing had nothing to do with this girl, so he didn't take Li Yun's words to heart. He said, "It's good to guard the border and defend the country, and to be free. Mother, I hope you understand that I am an adult. I need a guardian. Please don't doubt me for no reason and slander me and other people who have nothing to do with me." 

Li Yunhan asked with a face, "Is this your attitude when talking to me?" 

Xu Yanqing put his hands in his pockets and didn't want to talk to her at all. Say one more thing. 

Li Yun took a deep breath and spoke more and more rudely, "It seems that I can't control you anymore. Do you have to wait until your reputation is ruined before you give up? Do you know that if you get divorced, you will have difficulty in officialdom?! " Xu 

Yanqing said, "Then I will write a book and be an editor -" 

Li Yun scolded him, "Naive! Xu Yanqing, how old are you? Don't you know who you are marrying?" 
He pursed his lips and had a cold face, unwilling to say more to her. 

Li Yun said angrily, "Xu Yanqing! You are not alone. There are me, your father, and our whole family behind you!" 

Xu Yanqing twitched the corners of his lips and mocked, "If you really treat me as your son, , Why would you push me into the fire pit? Do you think your mother-in-law has a sense of accomplishment?" 

Li Yun was angry. 

Xu Yanqing turned slightly, looked at Li Yun, and said very seriously, "I have decided to get a divorce. There are still four months left. I will continue to file for divorce. If the divorce is not divorced the second time, then the third time will be The first time, the fourth time, I can do the wrong thing." 

Li Yun was speechless at his appearance. 

She covered her chest, pointed at Xu Yanqing and asked, "Have you ever thought about what will happen to you after the divorce? Nothing! Do you understand?!" 

Xu Yanqing said, "Mom, you are willing to cling to others, I can't stop you, and I choose I can accept the final result even if I don't give up for five buckets of rice. I am an upright person with a clear conscience, and I can accept it calmly even if I am left with nothing." 

Li Yun almost roared, "Xu Yanqing, please be more clear-headed! Don’t you know? No matter who you marry in the future, the Su family will not make it easy for you! Moreover, our family will never recognize that woman!” 

This is what a mother said to her son. 

Xu Yanqing sounded calm and calm, as if these words coming from Li Yun were perfectly normal.

He looked at Li Yun, smiled slightly and said, "It's because I know that I have compromised for so many years. Choosing to compromise back then was the worst decision I made, so now I want to get back from my lost ways."

Xu Yanqing asked Li Yun, "Is there anything else? If nothing happens, I'll leave first."

Li Yun finally recovered and shouted to Xu Yanqing, "Don't leave! Xu Yanqing! Get back here!"

However, Xu Yanqing ignored her roar. , left without hesitation.

In early spring, it was sunny just now, but it started to rain lightly for no reason.

Xu Yanqing walked alone in the rain that blocked the sky and the sun.

In the misty rain, the woman holding an umbrella on the roadside looked very much like Xia Jinxian.

Xu Yanqing wiped his face and received a call from Pan Yijun.

Pan Yijun asked, "Has Cen Peiling gone to the Bingang Management Committee?"

Xu Yanqing hummed and asked, "Is there a project?"

Pan Yijun said yes, and Xu Yanqing said, "Contact Peiling."

Pan Yijun then asked , "What are you doing?"

Xu Yanqing stood under the tree and said, "It's raining."

Pan Yijun asked, "Are you crazy?"

Xu Yanqing smiled and said, "I really want to be crazy, like this Can Han Yun let me go?"

Pan Yijun quickly asked him what was wrong.

Xu Yanqing didn't want to say anything, but just said it was okay.

Pan Yijun asked him, "Are you coming to the dinner arranged by Boss Shao tomorrow?"

Xu Yanqing responded.

Tomorrow is a banquet arranged by Mayor Shao in his own name. It actually paves the way for a few people from the original management committee and helps them contact some colleagues with better relationships.

Xu Yanqing knew that Shao Chen had invited Ye Maocong. He heard that Mayor Shao's mother had a good relationship with Ye Maocong's father. Ye Maocong was the deputy minister in charge of cadres and would be assigned to a more important position sooner or later. On the one hand, after Ye Maocong came to Shanghai, He also needs to establish his own network of relationships. On the other hand, Mayor Shao also hopes to make recommendations to his subordinates.

This was originally a win-win situation, but after Xu Yanqing had seen Xia Jinxian and Ye Maocong on a blind date, it was hard to remain indifferent.

He didn't want to say much to Pan Yijun.

Pan Yijun never asked, "Are you divorced?"

Xu Yanqing asked him, "Do you know what I want to do most right now?"

Pan Yijun said blankly, "Huh?" A sound.

Xu Yanqing said, "I just want to hang up on you now."

Pan Yijun said quickly, "No, no, no, no, I really want to care about District Chief Xu, okay?"

Xu Yanqing said, "Your concern makes me want to Beat you up."

Pan Yijun laughed first and then muttered, "Good intentions are not rewarded."

Xu Yanqing thanked him for his kindness. He sighed, "If you hadn't been troubled by divorce, I would have thought you were deliberately looking for trouble. "

Pan Yijun asked, "Are you divorced? Isn't it a lawsuit?"

Xu Yanqing could only say patiently, "Generally, the first lawsuit will not be divorced, but the second lawsuit can be filed after six months. It is still happening now. Wait."

Pan Yijun really didn't know this and could only ask, "Will it work the second time?"

Xu Yanqing breathed out and confessed to Pan Yijun, "I'm not very sure, so I invited Teacher Wu."

Pan Yijun said, "But although Lawyer Wu is well-known in the legal community, you know-"

In the public prosecutor's office, what is law?

Xu Yanqing said, "There is no way out anyway. The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge."

Pan Yijun asked, "If the divorce is not pronounced, will you choose to reconcile with Han Yun?"

Xu Yanqing said firmly, "No.

" Now that he knows Xiaoxian is still waiting for him, he will never back down again.

The next day, ten people were invited to a banquet arranged by Mayor Shao, which was held on the bank of the Pujiang River.

Unfortunately or coincidentally, when Xu Yanqing came up from the underground garage and the elevator stopped on the first floor, he bumped into Ye Maocong.

When the two people saw each other, they nodded politely.

Knowing that they were going to the same dinner party, there was no need to gossip in the elevator.

Xu Yanqing had already pressed the button for the 25th floor, and Ye Maocong turned his back to the elevator door. The two of them never thought about having more communication.

Unexpectedly, when the elevator went up to the third floor, another person came in.

But it was Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao was also stunned when he saw this situation in the elevator.

Xu Yanqing was standing next to the elevator button, and he was the first to react.

Xu Yanqing turned slightly to the side, blocking the elevator button. He nodded with Zhou Chao and asked him, "Which floor is it?"

Zhou Chao said "35", and Xu Yanqing pressed the 35th floor button at the same time. 32 floors.

Zhou Chao's focus was on Ye Maocong, but he didn't pay attention to Xu Yanqing's actions.

From the details of Xu Yanqing, Ye Maocong couldn't help but have a different understanding of him.

Facing Zhou Chao, Ye Maocong stretched out his hand openly, shook hands with Zhou Chao and said, "District Chief Zhou, what a coincidence."

Seeing that Ye Maocong had a good attitude towards him, Zhou Chao said quickly, "Yes, Minister Ye, what a coincidence."

Zhou Chao's enthusiastic face was in sharp contrast to Xu Yanqing's cold face.

Ye Maocong looked at the two faces of the two leaders of the new district and felt interesting in his heart.

He deliberately said to Zhou Chao in front of Xu Yanqing, "Jinxian is here with you. Please take care of her."

Zhou Chao nodded repeatedly and said, "It's necessary. The director of the Construction Bureau and I will take care of it. We'll wait until the rankings are resolved." "Go to the Construction Bureau immediately to take over the position of office director."

Ye Maocong said, "Please train me well."

Zhou Chao agreed hurriedly.

Ye Maocong deliberately looked at Xu Yanqing, whose expression could be described as a pool of stagnant water.

But the more he behaves like this, the more it means something.

Both of them understood that they had been mentioned by Xia Jinxian when they were in each other's place.

Xu Yanqing looked up at the elevator screen, which made Ye Maocong feel childishly happy.

Ye Maocong could say these words to Zhou Chao openly, but Xu Yanqing could only watch.

Three people in an elevator have their own thoughts.

When the elevator went up to the 25th floor, Zhou Chao said to Ye Maocong, "Minister, if you have a chance to come up and sit down later? I'm getting together with a few of my former colleagues. Can you please come and have a glass of wine?"

Ye Maocong smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Xu Yanqing There was a faint look on his face, as if he didn't hear anything.

Zhou Chao actually deliberately appeared in front of Xu Yanqing to have a good relationship with Ye Maocong, and made Ye Maocong think that Xu Yanqing was aloof and immature.

But this trick was of no use to Xu Yanqing, and Ye Maocong understood people better, so he used this to understand the personality characteristics of these two people better.

The elevator door opened. Ye Maocong shook hands with Zhou Chao warmly and said goodbye, while he just nodded with Xu Yanqing.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chao was already more happy than Xu Yanqing.

Zhou Chao held the elevator door for Ye Maocong, while Xu Yanqing just pressed the door-open button.
