After the live broadcast, I overturned with the boss
Chapter 616 She is here
But what Lan Xiaoya didn't expect was that there were some things that were even more unexpected to her.
It has been three days since I returned to G City, and I can basically be sure that it is safe. Qiao Ruotan seems to have been busy with the company's affairs. If there is any news, it is probably that he can feel the atmosphere more in G City—everyone Looking forward to the official announcement of Gao Yunyi and Qiao Ruotan.
He smiled helplessly, and lay down on the bed again. It was too early now, and when it dawned, he had to go to the west city to see the morning sun.
It's been four years. I don't know what it looks like there now. Could it be that Qiao Ruotan has lost his patience long ago?
Eyes slowly closed, Lan Xiaoya didn't dare to think about it, she was actually a little afraid of the result.
But where does time allow Lan Xiaoya to escape?
In the blink of an eye, the sky has gradually turned white.
If you don't want to face it anymore, you can only face it. Even if Qiao Ruotan has really forgotten, so what?This is not Qiao Ruotan's responsibility, is it?
Packed up the things to take to see Lan Chenxi, a bunch of sunflowers bought last night, put on simple clothes and a peaked cap, stopped a taxi downstairs, and went straight to the place where Lan Chenxi was buried , Lan Xiaoya's heart is not uneasy, but extremely anxious and afraid.
The taxi drove all the way to the West City Cemetery. Looking at the familiar scene along the street through the car window, Lan Xiaoya felt a little flustered in her heart, but she was still a little timid after all.
The taxi came to a steady stop, and Lan Xiaoya slowly opened the door. The moment she stepped on the ground, a feeling of reality and illusion came over her. Lan Xiaoya was slightly taken aback, but finally she was relieved, "Chen Xi , my sister is back."
In the end, I chose to come back. Why did I leave such a letter and leave?
Lan Xiaoya laughed at herself, maybe she didn't expect that she would miss this land so much after leaving...
Stepping up the stairs step by step, little by little, they reached the sunny slope where Lan Chenxi was buried. The next second, Lan Xiaoya's body froze in place.
Four years have passed, and Qiao Ruotan has gradually let go of the past. Lan Xiaoya originally thought that this place should be desolate, but the scene in front of her touched Lan Xiaoya's heart.
The front of Lan Chenxi's tomb is neat and tidy, as if to make Lan Chenxi not alone, there are low sunflowers planted around his cemetery, and at this moment, they are blooming towards the morning sun.
Slightly lowering her head to glance at the sunflower in her hand, Lan Xiaoya's heart trembled, who did it?Qiao Ruotan?
Lan Xiaoya didn't dare to think about it, she didn't want to bind herself with such self-movement anymore, Qiao Ruotan should have her own life.
As she approached Lan Chenxi's tomb step by step, Lan Xiaoya's shocked heart felt a little surprised again.
This tomb has not changed in the past four years. If there is any change, it is probably that the color of the moment photo on the tombstone has faded a little, but generally speaking, there is no change.
Her hands couldn't help shaking, and Lan Xiaoya asked the question in her heart again, "Is it Qiao Ruotan?"
Maybe so.
Just like what Qiao Ruotan said back then, Lan Chenxi is also his friend, so he will do his best.
That's right, even after she left, Qiao Ruotan never terminated the business plan that Lan Chenxi had left...
But this still doesn't mean that Qiao Ruotan hasn't let go yet.
Come to think of it, maybe Qiao Ruotan's nostalgic temperament is probably because he can't let go of his old friends...
Thinking of this, Lan Xiaoya felt a lot easier.
Slowly squatting down in front of Lan Chenxi's tomb, looking straight at Lan Chenxi's smiling face on the tombstone, Lan Xiaoya only felt that the guilt in her chest seemed to calm down a little.
Putting the sunflower in his hand into a flower socket fixed in front of the tombstone, wiped his hand on the hem of his clothes, and then slowly raised his hand to caress the photo of Lan Chenxi, as if he was treating a living person.
"I am back."
The four words are silent thoughts.
Over the years, she has traveled to so many places, all of which Lan Chenxi wanted to go to, but in the end, she finally found that maybe like him, the place Lan Chenxi wanted to go more was City G, the city where they lived since childhood.
"I won't be leaving in the future."
Another promise, how heavy is it?Probably only Lan Xiaoya knew how much sadness there was in such a promise.
The past guilt can't save Lan Chenxi, the current guilt can't save Qiao Ruotan, and the future will be a lonely person to die of old age.
Looking at the photo on the tombstone, Lan Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, "Chenxi, I went to all the places you wanted to go, and the places you didn't mention. I have to say that the places you want to go are pretty good. Yes, but my sister wants to tell you, don't think about being a traveler in your next life, it will be very tiring..."
As if exhorting something to a living person, Lan Xiaoya began to chatter.
Time passed, and the cemetery administrator came down from the mountain. It seemed that the Qiao family had specifically told him to take care of the cemetery here, so the cemetery administrator saw the person squatting in front of Lan Chenxi's tomb at a glance.
It's true that the administrator is old, but he vaguely remembers Lan Xiaoya's figure.
"Isn't this?" The administrator was stunned for a while with his hands behind his back, and then he realized, "Isn't this Mr. Qiao's?"
That's right, the cemetery administrator recognized Lan Xiaoya. It was the woman who was brought to the cemetery late at night by Qiao Ruotan and cried bitterly in front of the grave. Later, the cemetery administrator found out through the news that this woman was Qiao Ruotan's girlfriend.
It seems that I haven't seen this woman for many years?
The cemetery administrator was thinking about whether to go up to say hello, but Lan Xiaoya had already got up.
The two happened to meet each other.
Lan Xiaoya was slightly taken aback, but she didn't expect to meet someone.
The cemetery administrator also smiled, "Come here? I haven't seen you in these years. I heard that you have gone abroad."
With a thud in her heart, Lan Xiaoya finally realized that the administrator probably didn't keep up with the latest news and gossip.
Just when she was about to say something, the cemetery administrator spoke again, "When you're not around, Mr. Qiao will come here once a month. Mr. Qiao planted the circle of sunflowers by the cemetery himself..."
Lan Xiaoya couldn't remember what the administrator said later, but those words were deeply imprinted in her mind.
Was it Qiao Ruotan who planted it himself?
There was pain in her heart, Lan Xiaoya didn't know how she left the cemetery, but when she felt it, Lan Xiaoya was already sitting by the window of her current house.
Lan Xiaoya couldn't help thinking: Since she had already chosen to let go, why did she still treat her brother with such a gentle gesture?
The question that Lan Xiaoya couldn't figure out was actually very simple, but Lan Xiaoya didn't dare to bet anymore, and she couldn't believe that Qiao Ruotan would still choose her if such an excellent woman appeared.
Yes, what kind of person was Ye Baihe who surrounded Qiao Ruotan back then?Despicable, exhausting all her efforts, doing anything for the property of the Qiao family, how could such a woman compare to the current Gao Yunyi?
Thinking about it this way, Qiao Ruotan chose her instead of Ye Baihe back then, probably because she was better than Ye Baihe.
But what about now?
Today, Gao Yun has a clean life background and a good family background. The Gao family and the Qiao family can be said to be two equal families. In terms of family background, Qiao Ruotan and Gao Yunyi are absolutely suitable.And Gao Yunyi's ability is far superior to her and Ye Baihe back then. I am afraid that even Ye Yun is slightly inferior to Gao Yunyi. In terms of ability, Gao Yunyi is definitely qualified for Qiao Ruotan's life as a helper. duty.
As for feelings...
Lan Xiaoya thought about the scandals in recent years, and she already had a rough idea in her heart. Gao Yunyi should love Qiao Ruotan deeply. Otherwise, how could the Gao family allow such scandals to fly everywhere?
With a suitable family background, comparable abilities, and extreme affection on one side, Lan Xiaoya smiled helplessly. If it were her, she would also choose Gao Yunyi instead of a woman who hurt herself without saying goodbye.
Shaking her head and throwing all her thoughts out of her head, Lan Xiaoya knew that she would settle down in City G in the future, so she had to find a job.
Alas, I didn't expect to start all over again after four years of busy work!
There are so many things that Lan Xiaoya didn't expect!
For example, it would never have occurred to her that the cemetery administrator would call Qiao's family after she left.
In Qiao's old house, Steward Chen was stunned for a long time when he received the call, and then repeatedly confirmed: "Are you sure the person you saw was Miss Lan?"
The uncle on the other end of the phone was stunned, "I don't know the girl's name, but I remember that she is Mr. Qiao's girlfriend. Although I haven't seen her for several years, I won't admit it, it's her!"
Before he had time to think about it, Steward Chen hurriedly hung up the phone, turned around and knocked on the door of the study.
"Come in." Qiao Yian's voice came out, and Housekeeper Chen pushed open the door of the study.
Seeing that it was Housekeeper Chen, Qiao Yian couldn't help feeling a little impatient, "Is she here again?" Yes, Qiao Yian thought it was Gao Yunyi who came again.
Knowing who Qiao Yian was talking about, Steward Chen quickly shook his head, "Miss, the administrator from the West City Cemetery called and said they saw Miss Lan."
The movement of turning the book froze, hesitating for a second, and then Qiao Yian suddenly raised his head to look at Butler Chen, "What did you say?"
"The administrator of the West City Cemetery said that they met Miss Lan to see Mr. Lan this morning, and they also brought a bunch of sunflowers...they also said a few words..."
Getting up abruptly, Qiao Yian bypassed Butler Chen, and quickly walked out of the study door. Butler Chen also hurriedly followed, "Do you want to inform the young master?"
"I'm going to the company now, please inform Vice President Yi for me to come to the company."
"Yes, ma'am."
After all, Qiao Yian's pace has already passed the gate of Qiao's old house, and someone needs to help stabilize Qiao Ruotan. She is worried that her eldest nephew will be too excited after hearing the news.
Thinking about it, Qiao Yian had already driven the car away from Qiao's old house.
The two parties dispatched and arrived at the Frank Group almost at the same time.
Qiao Yian just entered the door of Qiao Ruotan's office, and Yikun arrived afterward.
"Tan'er, the administrator of the West City Cemetery said they saw Xiaoya this morning."
When Yikun arrived, he heard these words. Although Housekeeper Chen had already told him what happened on the phone, but now he heard what Qiao Yian said with his own ears, and seeing Qiao Ruotan's stiff expression, Yikun Kun still couldn't help feeling upset.
Sure enough, after listening to Qiao Yian's words, Qiao Ruotan froze instantly. After one second, two seconds, and three seconds passed, Qiao Ruotan jumped up from the chair suddenly. Qiao Ruotan would really rush out of the office and head towards the West City Cemetery.
Fortunately, there is Yikun.
Reaching out to stop Qiao Ruotan, Yi Kun's voice became louder, "Don't get excited!"
Qiao Ruotan's eyes had already widened, how could he not be excited at this moment.
The person I've been thinking about for four years finally appeared, how can I sit down safely?
"I know you've been waiting for a long time, but is it useful for you to go now? Will she be waiting for you in the West Side Cemetery to catch her?"
A question immediately stopped Qiao Ruotan. Seeing that Qiao Ruotan stopped moving and pursed his lips, Yikun said slowly, "Let's check first to see if it's Xiaoya, maybe it's the administrator. Wrong, after all these years..."
"Yes, maybe the administrator read it wrong, Tan'er, please don't get excited, let Secretary Li check it first."
Well, with Qiao Yian's words, Secretary Li has to put down his work and investigate again.
Suddenly, two hours passed, and Secretary Li came back out of breath. Looking at Qiao Ruotan sitting at the desk with his forehead pressed, how could Secretary Li not feel trembling?
"President, it is indeed Ms. Lan." Secretary Li said in a low voice, "Some footage was captured by the surveillance near Mr. Lan's cemetery."
As he spoke, he inserted the USB flash drive in Secretary Li's hand into the computer, called up the surveillance video obtained from the cemetery, and then turned the computer screen to Qiao Ruotan.
Seeing a familiar figure appear on the small screen, Qiao Ruotan's heart suddenly tightened.
It's been four years, four years without any news, and when I see you again, the longing in my heart is really like a spring, and it can't be stopped.
The instant redness of the eyes is enough to prove that all emotions have been leaked.
Qiao Ruotan couldn't help stroking the screen...
It feels like it hasn't changed, but it seems to have changed again.
Frowning tightly, Qiao Ruotan watched as the little girl in the picture slowly knelt down and put the sunflower in her hand into the flower socket in front of Lan Chenxi's tomb.
sunflower……
They all remember that Chenxi likes sunflowers...
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Ruotan couldn't hold back his trembling voice, and asked slowly, "Where's the surveillance at the gate of the cemetery? How did she get there? How did she leave?"
Secretary Li knows what Qiao Ruotan wants to do. He wants to monitor the vehicle information to find Lan Xiaoya. Secretary Li has also thought about this trick. After all, people are already in G City. As long as they can find clues, it is relatively relatively easy to find someone. easy.
Can……
"The surveillance video at the entrance of the cemetery was broken. The administrator said that he didn't know how he came here, but when he left, he called an online car-hailing car and left. I don't remember the specific license plate number..."
"Go and check, check the online car-hailing car that went to Xicheng Cemetery this morning! Check the car first, and then check the driving recorder, you can definitely find it!" Qiao Ruotan's voice was a little colder, but he still couldn't help it Trembling, making people around me feel distressed.
But the heartache is heartache, now is not the time to make such a big fuss.
"Ruotan, no!" Yi Kun put his hands on the desk and looked closely at Qiao Ruotan, "Have you forgotten what happened four years ago?"
Four years ago?
Qiao Ruotan frowned slightly. Four years ago, all clues were interrupted. In Country H, Lan Xiaoya had already found out where she lived temporarily, but it was still a step too late. When she went, she had already gone The building is empty...
Thinking of this, Qiao Ruotan clenched his hands into fists.
Four years ago, they had a clue and went to Country H. They originally wanted to find someone quietly, but then there was another wave of people looking for someone in Country H with great fanfare. After another wave of people appeared, their search for blue Xiaoya's clues were cut off directly.
The most important clue is the account that released the vlog of Lan Xiaoya's performance in the polar region. It seems that it was to avoid Qiao Ruotan's search and never logged in again.
God knows how long Qiao Ruotan watched the flashing back in that vlog!
But all the clues were broken, and the culprit among them was found out after a long time...
Back then, another group of people belonged to Fang Xingyu, to be precise, Gao Yunyi's people.
Seeing a gleam of clarity on Qiao Ruotan's face, Yi Kun continued: "Do you think that such a big battle of checking the online car hailing and checking the driving recorder will not irritate Xiaoya again?"
meeting!
Qiao Ruotan's hand clenched tightly. Lan Xiaoya could cut off all the information if someone who wasn't him went looking for it. Now if he looks for someone again in a big way, Lan Xiaoya will probably hide for the rest of her life and never want to see him again. !
"Xiaoya first sent a blessing message to Xiaoyun, and now she is back, I guess, she must have been stimulated by something..."
After Yi Kun's voice fell, Qiao Yi'an beside him reacted, "Gao Yunyi?"
Hearing the name Qiao Yian spit out, Yi Kun nodded, "I also think the crux of the problem lies in Gao Yunyi, so what we need to do now is not to find someone, but to force Xiaoya to show up!"
"What should I do?" Qiao Ruotan himself was in a mess, as if he had encountered Lan Xiaoya's incident, he was bound to be in a mess.
"Maybe I'm going to wrong you." Yikun's voice paused slightly, "Xiaoya should appear at my wedding with Xiaoyun..."
"Arrange someone to guard at the wedding?" Qiao Ruotan interrupted hastily.
Hearing this, Yikun's voice was a little hesitant, "But it might not show up, Xiaoya is very smart, she will probably guess that we might set up a trap at the wedding, then we have two plans... "
"What else is there to plan? If she shows up, wouldn't it be good to let our people take Xiaoya away?" Qiao Ruotan became irritable, and dropped her hands directly on the table, feeling anxious in her heart.
Yi Kun saw it, and felt helpless in his heart, "It's useless to be anxious! Xiaoya is so smart, she either doesn't come to the wedding, or she is fully prepared. If you can catch her at the wedding, then She can't go away either!"
Yes, how deep is Lan Xiaoya's heart?Qiao Ruotan has seen it before. Back then, he was able to hold everything in his heart and planned the escape plan for so long... Now it is possible to escape again.
Thinking of this, Qiao Ruotan rubbed his face irritably...
Yikun sighed, "I don't know what the purpose of Xiaoya's coming back this time is for Xiaoyun, or if she plans to stay for a long time, we don't know, so what we can do now is to let Xiaoya relax her vigilance .”
There was a slight pause in the voice, and Yikun moved Ye Yun out, "Xiaoyun said that Xiaoya dared to send her a message, which proves that Xiaoya's heart has been put down, or she thinks that we will meet again at this time. You won't do anything to her either."
"Why do you say that?" Joyce asked.
"Xiaoyun said that Xiaoya probably couldn't let go of her feelings for Ruotan, so the only reason that made Xiaoya come back was that Xiaoya thought Ruotan had let go."
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Ruotan's mind came to his senses, "You mean the scandal between me and Gao Yunyi?"
Yi Kun nodded directly, "Your scandals are flying all over the sky, but the publicity department of the Fran Group has never clarified, and you have deliberately lured Gao Yunyi to Qiao's old house recently, everyone is guessing that you and Gao Yunyi are going to get engaged. Xiaoya probably thinks the same way...it's even very possible that the reason why she came back this time is because she thinks that you can let go of everything in the past, so she came back."
Qiao Ruotan frowned suddenly, "So what did you mean just now?"
"Add fuel to the flames, let Xiaoya completely relax her vigilance." As he spoke, Yi Kun lowered his voice, "Since everyone wants you and Gao Yunyi to get engaged, then get engaged."
"Isn't that bad? I don't think Gao Yunyi is someone who will let go easily. If she gets engaged, wouldn't Xiaoya become the third party?" Qiao Yian shook her head.
Yi Kun chuckled, "Then make a bet with Gao Yunyi."
bet?
Bet what?
Probably only Qiao Ruotan and Gao Yun knew about this.
With the advice of Yi Kun and Ye Yun, Qiao Ruotan made an appointment with Gao Yunyi again, but this time it was at Qiao's old house instead of outside.
In the study room of Qiao's old house, Gao Yun looked at Qiao Ruotan who was sitting across from him. It meant that he hadn't spoken for a long time, so she said, "So what do you want to say when you called me to Qiao's old house today?"
"We can get engaged, but I want to make a bet with you."
When Gao Yunyi heard the word "engagement", Gao Yunyi's heart skipped a beat. After four years of persistence, she finally got Qiao Ruotan's consent. How could she be unhappy.
But when Qiao Ruotan's second sentence came out, Gao Yunyi was obviously stunned, "What do you want to bet?"
"Xiaoya is back." Qiao Ruotan didn't hesitate at all, "I want to bet with you whether our engagement will start first, or I will find Xiaoya first."
Hearing this, Gao Yunyi's face darkened instantly, "Qiao Ruotan, what do you mean? Who do you think I am, Gao Yunyi? Is it a tool you used to lure Lan Xiaoya to appear?"
Gao Yunyi was so angry, Qiao Ruotan had guessed it a long time ago, but he didn't feel any guilt, he slowly raised his eyes to look at Gao Yunyi, Qiao Ruotan said slowly, "How did we stop the clues to find Xiaoya? , you should be clear about it, you made me lose all the clues at the beginning, now I just want to bet with you once, why, don’t you dare?”
Hearing Qiao Ruotan's words, Gao Yun was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Qiao Ruotan knew what she did back then.
His hands trembled slightly, Gao Yun stared at Qiao Ruotan in a daze, and asked word by word, "You know everything?"
Nodded, got up, approached Gao Yunyi, looked down at the woman in front of him, "When you sent someone to check on Xiaoya's news, I thought you were going to help me, but I never thought you knew better than me. How to force Xiaoya away!"
After saying that, Qiao Ruotan paused slightly, and laughed lightly, "Gao Yunyi, I didn't expect you to be able to see through a person..."
This sentence seemed to be a compliment, but as soon as Gao Yun knew it, he lost.
Qiao Ruotan has no feelings for her!
She had already guessed that Qiao Ruotan already knew what she had done, and confidently thought that Qiao Ruotan had never revealed what she had done in the past four years because Qiao Ruotan was giving her a chance.
But what Gao Yunyi didn't expect was that Qiao Ruotan, who had been ignoring her for four years, was waiting for her here.
Lost.
But it's impossible for her, Gao Yunyi, to just admit defeat like this!
"One bet?" Gao Yun said softly, and suddenly a sneer escaped the corner of his mouth, "Hehe, okay, let's bet once!"
"You said that Lan Xiaoya has come back? Qiao Ruotan, then you should know why Lan Xiaoya came back. Either she has let you go, or she thinks you have let her go, and both of these situations represent Seeing that she won't come back to you again, are you sure, you want to bet with me again?"
Sure enough, Gao Yunyi was very good at seeing people, and he was also able to see through the things around him, even in such an extremely angry situation.
It's a pity that Gao Yunyi's only flaw is that she refuses to admit defeat, especially in terms of feelings. If she is willing to admit defeat, maybe she and Qiao Ruotan will still be friends, but everything is impossible, but This is all for later.
Now, their bet is in effect.
Gao Yunyi's unyielding character would not allow her to retreat, and Qiao Ruotan had already expected Gao Yun to retreat without hesitation.
"Gambling." One word, biting it firmly, Qiao Ruotan's heart could not be clearer.
Gao Yunyi nodded, "Tomorrow, the Frank Group will make an official announcement, and the engagement ceremony will also be prepared. The acting must be a little more realistic!"
After all, Gao Yun walked past Qiao Ruotan, left the study, and left Qiao's old house.
The bet came into effect, and the Publicity Department of the Fran Group was also very strong. They sent out the news the next day at work, "A happy event for Qiao Gao: Qiao Ruotan (CEO of Fran Group) and Gao Yunyi (according to Yun Group) The general manager of the company) and the two confirmed their relationship recently, and the two have decided to hold an engagement ceremony next month!"
As soon as the news came out, many Qiao Gao CP parties became excited.
"Finally the official announcement! I finally got the official announcement! It's been four years, it's not easy!"
"Am I not mistaken? It's the official announcement Weibo of the Publicity Department of the Fran Group? The cp I'm talking about has finally been officially announced? Oh my god!"
"It's real now, it's official! Qiao Ruotan and Gao Yunyi are really suitable! Blessings!"
"Okay, okay, I advise Qiao Lan's cp fans to disperse as soon as possible. President Qiao is a person who can afford to let go. He broke up four years ago. No matter how good the past is, it is over after all. Don't always Take your family, Xiaoya, and tie up President Qiao Da! The current owner is the daughter of Juyun Group—Gao Yunyi!"
"Finally the official announcement, gratifying, congratulations, heaven and earth, long live Qiao Gao!"
……
Everyone is happy, but one person is sad alone.
who is it?
It was the one who struggled to let go, but couldn't let go—Lan Xiaoya.
Looking at the phone screen, Lan Xiaoya felt pain in her heart.
But no matter how painful it is, Lan Xiaoya knows that all of this has nothing to do with her, just like the above comment said, the past should be over, the Qiao Ruotan she knows is a person who can afford to let go, Now Qiao Ruotan really let go.
Putting down her phone, Lan Xiaoya looked at the bright sky outside the window and wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. Instead, tears flowed down her cheeks and seeped into her mouth, complicating the pain in her mouth .
Mixed flavors, maybe that's how it feels?
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears, but no matter how he wiped them, the tears couldn't be stopped after all.
Holding his face in his palms, bowing his head, he began to cry "woo woo".
Qiao Ruotan is sorry, I lost you, it was I who lost you, it was my fault...
But in matters of feelings, is it really about who is right and who is wrong?
Probably yes, but it is difficult to distinguish between absolute right and wrong when it comes to emotional matters.
A few days passed, and the wedding of Yikun and Ye Yun came as scheduled, and it was not affected by Qiao Ruotan's affairs. Of course, since the official announcement, Qiao Ruotan has also become busy, because Gao Yun came to him in a while on the grounds of "acting a show and doing a full set".
"Knock knock" has a familiar rhythm of knocking on the door, Qiao Ruotan doesn't need to guess, he already knows who is coming.
The person who opened the door in the next second was indeed Gao Yunyi.
Qiao Ruotan was slightly taken aback, then said slowly, "What are you going to do today?"
Gao Yun folded his arms around his chest, "Tomorrow is the wedding of Vice President Yi and President Ye. We must attend, right?"
Hearing this, Qiao Ruotan's face froze suddenly, "Yes."
"What? Didn't President Qiao want to bet with me? Now that I am your fiancee, this is the premise of our bet, isn't it?" Gao Yunyi had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Seeing that Qiao Ruotan was silent, Gao Yun leaned over slightly to look at Qiao Ruotan, "Why, do you regret it?"
"I have no regrets. You make arrangements, and I will take you to attend." Qiao Ruotan's voice was a little colder, and he got up and left.
Great, that's it!Looking at the back of Qiao Ruotan leaving, Gao Yun smiled, bet?Of course you have to bet!She wanted to see how that woman resisted all the scolding and stayed with Qiao Ruotan when Lan Xiaoya came back!
Yes, Gao Yunyi is such a person, if others make her unhappy, she must also make others unhappy.
The two of them were scheming against each other, neither of them thought it turned out that such a bet is not a one-way agreement.
Qiao Ruotan gambled no less than Gao Yunyi, but Gao Yun's calculations in his heart were no less than Qiao Ruotan's!Maybe these two people are destined to be friends, business partners, not lovers, but unfortunately, it took Gao Yunyi a long time to realize this truth.
Right now, Gao Yun will only act willfully, just like her own evaluation of herself, she must get what she wants, and it is impossible and will not be given to others!
Time does not wait for anyone, let alone give people too many opportunities for reflection. After making a decision, they either give up or just persevere. Qiao Ruotan decided to gamble once, and Gao Yunyi also decided to gamble once, but the two people's bet It is destined to be impossible to be just a bet between two people.
The wedding of Yikun and Yeyun arrived as scheduled. Gao Yunyi and Qiao Ruotan are now fiancées. As representatives of Fran Group and Juyun Group, they will naturally attend the wedding.
The wedding was private, but after all, there were reporters waiting at the door of the wedding venue, so when Qiao Ruotan and Gao Yun got out of the car arm in arm, they were still photographed by the reporter.
Looking at Qiao Ruotan with a tense face, Gao Yun couldn't bear to mock him, "Since Mr. Qiao wants to gamble, why does he have such a tense face? Do you think Miss Lan's brain is very bad? Seeing you so tense With a straight face, won't she guess what's tricky about it?"
Hearing this, Qiao Ruotan's tightly locked brows relaxed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
In this way, Gao Yunyi felt cold in his heart. It turned out that facing her, some tenderness could only be obtained by relying on Lan Xiaoya's relationship.
Ha ha!
Very good, she will remember, how Qiao Ruotan gave her such a great humiliation!
In a corner where the two of them didn't notice, a familiar figure appeared, that person was Lan Xiaoya in disguise.
Standing in the corner, through the gap between the reporters, she could clearly see Qiao Ruotan holding Gao Yunyi's back. Under the spotlight, she seemed to see the slight smile on the corner of Qiao Ruotan's mouth.
Is he happy?
Bringing his fiancée to his friend's wedding. Next month will be his engagement ceremony. The most important moment in life is finally coming. Qiao Ruotan should be happy, right?
But why is her heart so sour?
She obviously only wants Qiao Ruotan to be happy, but why can't she say a word of blessing?
Controlling her trembling hands, she quietly squeezed into the wedding venue through the small door next to her. No one here knew about it. The reason why Lan Xiaoya knew it was because she had followed Ye Yun to the wedding venue—during the wedding preparations, and here was Lan Xiaoya. What Xiaoya discovered was the only gap that could be mixed into the wedding scene. She wanted to take a look and see how her friend looked in the wedding dress.
When the time came, the track played at the wedding was the classic "Wedding March", and Lan Xiaoya couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Watching my friend walk through the long tapestry alone, step by step to Yi Kun's side, watching Yi Kun waiting at the end of the tapestry with pride and happiness on his face, watching Qiao Yi'an, Qin Qin, Qiao Ruoyuan and Qiao Ruoxing and others applauded for them in the audience, and Lan Xiaoya couldn't help but shed tears.
"Xiaoyun, I'm here, I'm sorry, I can't show up publicly, but I will always bless you." Lan Xiaoya said silently in her heart.
Wait a little longer, until Qiao Ruotan and Gao Yunyi got engaged, at that time, Qiao Ruotan really let go, and she could meet her friends again.
Lan Xiaoya thought so, but she didn't know that Qiao Ruotan's engagement news was just a trap prepared for her.
At the wedding, under the arrangement of the master of ceremonies, Ye Yun and Yi Kun hugged each other. This hug is a testimony of their years of waiting for each other.
However, from the corner of Ye Yun's eyes, he noticed that familiar figure in the corner.
Yi Kun obviously felt Ye Yun's body froze, and asked softly in Ye Yun's ear, "What did you see?"
"It seems to be Xiaoya."
Hearing this, Yikun was also taken aback, knowing that Xiaoya would come, so Yikun was not shocked, but the reason why he was stunned was because he wanted to inform Secretary Li quietly.
Finally, the process arranged by the master of ceremonies was over, and Yi Kun waved to Secretary Li.
Seeing the anxious expression on Yikun's face, Secretary Li immediately realized that Lan Xiaoya appeared.
So he quietly left his position, went to Qiao Ruotan's side, and whispered, "President, Miss Lan is here."
After saying this, Gao Yunyi, who was sitting next to Qiao Ruotan, suddenly turned his face. Yes, she had been paying attention to Qiao Ruotan's situation.
"Looking for someone!" Qiao Ruotan waved his hands, feeling nervous.
Secretary Li retreated after hearing the words, and hurriedly arranged staff.
Upon seeing this, Gao Yun couldn't help laughing, "Is Mr. Qiao nervous now?"
nervous?
Yes, nervous!
Qiao Ruotan frowned tightly, and the expression on his face was a little more worried.
Gao Yun saw it in his eyes and was jealous in his heart. Why, why can a person who is inferior to her in every way win Qiao Ruotan's heart?
In fact, many of us have a misunderstanding. We like someone not because she is better than most people, but because the person you like is exactly what you like.
Because that person is exactly what you yearn for in your heart, so even if there is someone who is better than the person you miss, you will not choose a better person, because no matter how good the later person is, they will never be better than you The person I love the most.
Qiao Ruotan did the same to Lan Xiaoya.
It's a pity that Gao Yunyi didn't understand that everyone has their own shining points, because she only focuses on her own shining points.
However, what is even more regrettable is that this time, they suppressed Gao Yunyi's movements, but they still couldn't find Lan Xiaoya. Even though they received the news at the first time, they still missed it. , after the master of ceremonies finished the wedding process, Lan Xiaoya left.
The surveillance video clearly shows how Lan Xiaoya came in through that small door in the corner, and how she quietly left through that small door.
After the wedding, Qiao Ruotan looked at the surveillance video on the computer screen, feeling infinitely flustered.
It's so close, why can't I catch it?
It's right in front of you, why why did you still miss it?
Qiao Ruotan didn't think it through, and probably Lan Xiaoya didn't think it through either.
Back at the residence, Lan Xiaoya saw a figure standing in front of her door, she felt a little bit in her heart, thinking that someone had found her, but when she took a closer look, it was actually Hao Xichen.
"Why are you here?" Lan Xiaoya asked in surprise.
Hearing the familiar voice, Hao Xichen looked up at Lan Xiaoya, and said slowly, "I came back the day you came back..."
The faint voice, coupled with the bloodshot eyes, is actually a little scary.
Lan Xiaoya froze for a long time, then frowned and asked, "Are you crazy?"
"You're right, I'm crazy!" Hao Xichen's voice was full of despair, "Lan Xiaoya, that man has already announced his engagement, do you want to continue to be persistent?"
It has been three days since I returned to G City, and I can basically be sure that it is safe. Qiao Ruotan seems to have been busy with the company's affairs. If there is any news, it is probably that he can feel the atmosphere more in G City—everyone Looking forward to the official announcement of Gao Yunyi and Qiao Ruotan.
He smiled helplessly, and lay down on the bed again. It was too early now, and when it dawned, he had to go to the west city to see the morning sun.
It's been four years. I don't know what it looks like there now. Could it be that Qiao Ruotan has lost his patience long ago?
Eyes slowly closed, Lan Xiaoya didn't dare to think about it, she was actually a little afraid of the result.
But where does time allow Lan Xiaoya to escape?
In the blink of an eye, the sky has gradually turned white.
If you don't want to face it anymore, you can only face it. Even if Qiao Ruotan has really forgotten, so what?This is not Qiao Ruotan's responsibility, is it?
Packed up the things to take to see Lan Chenxi, a bunch of sunflowers bought last night, put on simple clothes and a peaked cap, stopped a taxi downstairs, and went straight to the place where Lan Chenxi was buried , Lan Xiaoya's heart is not uneasy, but extremely anxious and afraid.
The taxi drove all the way to the West City Cemetery. Looking at the familiar scene along the street through the car window, Lan Xiaoya felt a little flustered in her heart, but she was still a little timid after all.
The taxi came to a steady stop, and Lan Xiaoya slowly opened the door. The moment she stepped on the ground, a feeling of reality and illusion came over her. Lan Xiaoya was slightly taken aback, but finally she was relieved, "Chen Xi , my sister is back."
In the end, I chose to come back. Why did I leave such a letter and leave?
Lan Xiaoya laughed at herself, maybe she didn't expect that she would miss this land so much after leaving...
Stepping up the stairs step by step, little by little, they reached the sunny slope where Lan Chenxi was buried. The next second, Lan Xiaoya's body froze in place.
Four years have passed, and Qiao Ruotan has gradually let go of the past. Lan Xiaoya originally thought that this place should be desolate, but the scene in front of her touched Lan Xiaoya's heart.
The front of Lan Chenxi's tomb is neat and tidy, as if to make Lan Chenxi not alone, there are low sunflowers planted around his cemetery, and at this moment, they are blooming towards the morning sun.
Slightly lowering her head to glance at the sunflower in her hand, Lan Xiaoya's heart trembled, who did it?Qiao Ruotan?
Lan Xiaoya didn't dare to think about it, she didn't want to bind herself with such self-movement anymore, Qiao Ruotan should have her own life.
As she approached Lan Chenxi's tomb step by step, Lan Xiaoya's shocked heart felt a little surprised again.
This tomb has not changed in the past four years. If there is any change, it is probably that the color of the moment photo on the tombstone has faded a little, but generally speaking, there is no change.
Her hands couldn't help shaking, and Lan Xiaoya asked the question in her heart again, "Is it Qiao Ruotan?"
Maybe so.
Just like what Qiao Ruotan said back then, Lan Chenxi is also his friend, so he will do his best.
That's right, even after she left, Qiao Ruotan never terminated the business plan that Lan Chenxi had left...
But this still doesn't mean that Qiao Ruotan hasn't let go yet.
Come to think of it, maybe Qiao Ruotan's nostalgic temperament is probably because he can't let go of his old friends...
Thinking of this, Lan Xiaoya felt a lot easier.
Slowly squatting down in front of Lan Chenxi's tomb, looking straight at Lan Chenxi's smiling face on the tombstone, Lan Xiaoya only felt that the guilt in her chest seemed to calm down a little.
Putting the sunflower in his hand into a flower socket fixed in front of the tombstone, wiped his hand on the hem of his clothes, and then slowly raised his hand to caress the photo of Lan Chenxi, as if he was treating a living person.
"I am back."
The four words are silent thoughts.
Over the years, she has traveled to so many places, all of which Lan Chenxi wanted to go to, but in the end, she finally found that maybe like him, the place Lan Chenxi wanted to go more was City G, the city where they lived since childhood.
"I won't be leaving in the future."
Another promise, how heavy is it?Probably only Lan Xiaoya knew how much sadness there was in such a promise.
The past guilt can't save Lan Chenxi, the current guilt can't save Qiao Ruotan, and the future will be a lonely person to die of old age.
Looking at the photo on the tombstone, Lan Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, "Chenxi, I went to all the places you wanted to go, and the places you didn't mention. I have to say that the places you want to go are pretty good. Yes, but my sister wants to tell you, don't think about being a traveler in your next life, it will be very tiring..."
As if exhorting something to a living person, Lan Xiaoya began to chatter.
Time passed, and the cemetery administrator came down from the mountain. It seemed that the Qiao family had specifically told him to take care of the cemetery here, so the cemetery administrator saw the person squatting in front of Lan Chenxi's tomb at a glance.
It's true that the administrator is old, but he vaguely remembers Lan Xiaoya's figure.
"Isn't this?" The administrator was stunned for a while with his hands behind his back, and then he realized, "Isn't this Mr. Qiao's?"
That's right, the cemetery administrator recognized Lan Xiaoya. It was the woman who was brought to the cemetery late at night by Qiao Ruotan and cried bitterly in front of the grave. Later, the cemetery administrator found out through the news that this woman was Qiao Ruotan's girlfriend.
It seems that I haven't seen this woman for many years?
The cemetery administrator was thinking about whether to go up to say hello, but Lan Xiaoya had already got up.
The two happened to meet each other.
Lan Xiaoya was slightly taken aback, but she didn't expect to meet someone.
The cemetery administrator also smiled, "Come here? I haven't seen you in these years. I heard that you have gone abroad."
With a thud in her heart, Lan Xiaoya finally realized that the administrator probably didn't keep up with the latest news and gossip.
Just when she was about to say something, the cemetery administrator spoke again, "When you're not around, Mr. Qiao will come here once a month. Mr. Qiao planted the circle of sunflowers by the cemetery himself..."
Lan Xiaoya couldn't remember what the administrator said later, but those words were deeply imprinted in her mind.
Was it Qiao Ruotan who planted it himself?
There was pain in her heart, Lan Xiaoya didn't know how she left the cemetery, but when she felt it, Lan Xiaoya was already sitting by the window of her current house.
Lan Xiaoya couldn't help thinking: Since she had already chosen to let go, why did she still treat her brother with such a gentle gesture?
The question that Lan Xiaoya couldn't figure out was actually very simple, but Lan Xiaoya didn't dare to bet anymore, and she couldn't believe that Qiao Ruotan would still choose her if such an excellent woman appeared.
Yes, what kind of person was Ye Baihe who surrounded Qiao Ruotan back then?Despicable, exhausting all her efforts, doing anything for the property of the Qiao family, how could such a woman compare to the current Gao Yunyi?
Thinking about it this way, Qiao Ruotan chose her instead of Ye Baihe back then, probably because she was better than Ye Baihe.
But what about now?
Today, Gao Yun has a clean life background and a good family background. The Gao family and the Qiao family can be said to be two equal families. In terms of family background, Qiao Ruotan and Gao Yunyi are absolutely suitable.And Gao Yunyi's ability is far superior to her and Ye Baihe back then. I am afraid that even Ye Yun is slightly inferior to Gao Yunyi. In terms of ability, Gao Yunyi is definitely qualified for Qiao Ruotan's life as a helper. duty.
As for feelings...
Lan Xiaoya thought about the scandals in recent years, and she already had a rough idea in her heart. Gao Yunyi should love Qiao Ruotan deeply. Otherwise, how could the Gao family allow such scandals to fly everywhere?
With a suitable family background, comparable abilities, and extreme affection on one side, Lan Xiaoya smiled helplessly. If it were her, she would also choose Gao Yunyi instead of a woman who hurt herself without saying goodbye.
Shaking her head and throwing all her thoughts out of her head, Lan Xiaoya knew that she would settle down in City G in the future, so she had to find a job.
Alas, I didn't expect to start all over again after four years of busy work!
There are so many things that Lan Xiaoya didn't expect!
For example, it would never have occurred to her that the cemetery administrator would call Qiao's family after she left.
In Qiao's old house, Steward Chen was stunned for a long time when he received the call, and then repeatedly confirmed: "Are you sure the person you saw was Miss Lan?"
The uncle on the other end of the phone was stunned, "I don't know the girl's name, but I remember that she is Mr. Qiao's girlfriend. Although I haven't seen her for several years, I won't admit it, it's her!"
Before he had time to think about it, Steward Chen hurriedly hung up the phone, turned around and knocked on the door of the study.
"Come in." Qiao Yian's voice came out, and Housekeeper Chen pushed open the door of the study.
Seeing that it was Housekeeper Chen, Qiao Yian couldn't help feeling a little impatient, "Is she here again?" Yes, Qiao Yian thought it was Gao Yunyi who came again.
Knowing who Qiao Yian was talking about, Steward Chen quickly shook his head, "Miss, the administrator from the West City Cemetery called and said they saw Miss Lan."
The movement of turning the book froze, hesitating for a second, and then Qiao Yian suddenly raised his head to look at Butler Chen, "What did you say?"
"The administrator of the West City Cemetery said that they met Miss Lan to see Mr. Lan this morning, and they also brought a bunch of sunflowers...they also said a few words..."
Getting up abruptly, Qiao Yian bypassed Butler Chen, and quickly walked out of the study door. Butler Chen also hurriedly followed, "Do you want to inform the young master?"
"I'm going to the company now, please inform Vice President Yi for me to come to the company."
"Yes, ma'am."
After all, Qiao Yian's pace has already passed the gate of Qiao's old house, and someone needs to help stabilize Qiao Ruotan. She is worried that her eldest nephew will be too excited after hearing the news.
Thinking about it, Qiao Yian had already driven the car away from Qiao's old house.
The two parties dispatched and arrived at the Frank Group almost at the same time.
Qiao Yian just entered the door of Qiao Ruotan's office, and Yikun arrived afterward.
"Tan'er, the administrator of the West City Cemetery said they saw Xiaoya this morning."
When Yikun arrived, he heard these words. Although Housekeeper Chen had already told him what happened on the phone, but now he heard what Qiao Yian said with his own ears, and seeing Qiao Ruotan's stiff expression, Yikun Kun still couldn't help feeling upset.
Sure enough, after listening to Qiao Yian's words, Qiao Ruotan froze instantly. After one second, two seconds, and three seconds passed, Qiao Ruotan jumped up from the chair suddenly. Qiao Ruotan would really rush out of the office and head towards the West City Cemetery.
Fortunately, there is Yikun.
Reaching out to stop Qiao Ruotan, Yi Kun's voice became louder, "Don't get excited!"
Qiao Ruotan's eyes had already widened, how could he not be excited at this moment.
The person I've been thinking about for four years finally appeared, how can I sit down safely?
"I know you've been waiting for a long time, but is it useful for you to go now? Will she be waiting for you in the West Side Cemetery to catch her?"
A question immediately stopped Qiao Ruotan. Seeing that Qiao Ruotan stopped moving and pursed his lips, Yikun said slowly, "Let's check first to see if it's Xiaoya, maybe it's the administrator. Wrong, after all these years..."
"Yes, maybe the administrator read it wrong, Tan'er, please don't get excited, let Secretary Li check it first."
Well, with Qiao Yian's words, Secretary Li has to put down his work and investigate again.
Suddenly, two hours passed, and Secretary Li came back out of breath. Looking at Qiao Ruotan sitting at the desk with his forehead pressed, how could Secretary Li not feel trembling?
"President, it is indeed Ms. Lan." Secretary Li said in a low voice, "Some footage was captured by the surveillance near Mr. Lan's cemetery."
As he spoke, he inserted the USB flash drive in Secretary Li's hand into the computer, called up the surveillance video obtained from the cemetery, and then turned the computer screen to Qiao Ruotan.
Seeing a familiar figure appear on the small screen, Qiao Ruotan's heart suddenly tightened.
It's been four years, four years without any news, and when I see you again, the longing in my heart is really like a spring, and it can't be stopped.
The instant redness of the eyes is enough to prove that all emotions have been leaked.
Qiao Ruotan couldn't help stroking the screen...
It feels like it hasn't changed, but it seems to have changed again.
Frowning tightly, Qiao Ruotan watched as the little girl in the picture slowly knelt down and put the sunflower in her hand into the flower socket in front of Lan Chenxi's tomb.
sunflower……
They all remember that Chenxi likes sunflowers...
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Ruotan couldn't hold back his trembling voice, and asked slowly, "Where's the surveillance at the gate of the cemetery? How did she get there? How did she leave?"
Secretary Li knows what Qiao Ruotan wants to do. He wants to monitor the vehicle information to find Lan Xiaoya. Secretary Li has also thought about this trick. After all, people are already in G City. As long as they can find clues, it is relatively relatively easy to find someone. easy.
Can……
"The surveillance video at the entrance of the cemetery was broken. The administrator said that he didn't know how he came here, but when he left, he called an online car-hailing car and left. I don't remember the specific license plate number..."
"Go and check, check the online car-hailing car that went to Xicheng Cemetery this morning! Check the car first, and then check the driving recorder, you can definitely find it!" Qiao Ruotan's voice was a little colder, but he still couldn't help it Trembling, making people around me feel distressed.
But the heartache is heartache, now is not the time to make such a big fuss.
"Ruotan, no!" Yi Kun put his hands on the desk and looked closely at Qiao Ruotan, "Have you forgotten what happened four years ago?"
Four years ago?
Qiao Ruotan frowned slightly. Four years ago, all clues were interrupted. In Country H, Lan Xiaoya had already found out where she lived temporarily, but it was still a step too late. When she went, she had already gone The building is empty...
Thinking of this, Qiao Ruotan clenched his hands into fists.
Four years ago, they had a clue and went to Country H. They originally wanted to find someone quietly, but then there was another wave of people looking for someone in Country H with great fanfare. After another wave of people appeared, their search for blue Xiaoya's clues were cut off directly.
The most important clue is the account that released the vlog of Lan Xiaoya's performance in the polar region. It seems that it was to avoid Qiao Ruotan's search and never logged in again.
God knows how long Qiao Ruotan watched the flashing back in that vlog!
But all the clues were broken, and the culprit among them was found out after a long time...
Back then, another group of people belonged to Fang Xingyu, to be precise, Gao Yunyi's people.
Seeing a gleam of clarity on Qiao Ruotan's face, Yi Kun continued: "Do you think that such a big battle of checking the online car hailing and checking the driving recorder will not irritate Xiaoya again?"
meeting!
Qiao Ruotan's hand clenched tightly. Lan Xiaoya could cut off all the information if someone who wasn't him went looking for it. Now if he looks for someone again in a big way, Lan Xiaoya will probably hide for the rest of her life and never want to see him again. !
"Xiaoya first sent a blessing message to Xiaoyun, and now she is back, I guess, she must have been stimulated by something..."
After Yi Kun's voice fell, Qiao Yi'an beside him reacted, "Gao Yunyi?"
Hearing the name Qiao Yian spit out, Yi Kun nodded, "I also think the crux of the problem lies in Gao Yunyi, so what we need to do now is not to find someone, but to force Xiaoya to show up!"
"What should I do?" Qiao Ruotan himself was in a mess, as if he had encountered Lan Xiaoya's incident, he was bound to be in a mess.
"Maybe I'm going to wrong you." Yikun's voice paused slightly, "Xiaoya should appear at my wedding with Xiaoyun..."
"Arrange someone to guard at the wedding?" Qiao Ruotan interrupted hastily.
Hearing this, Yikun's voice was a little hesitant, "But it might not show up, Xiaoya is very smart, she will probably guess that we might set up a trap at the wedding, then we have two plans... "
"What else is there to plan? If she shows up, wouldn't it be good to let our people take Xiaoya away?" Qiao Ruotan became irritable, and dropped her hands directly on the table, feeling anxious in her heart.
Yi Kun saw it, and felt helpless in his heart, "It's useless to be anxious! Xiaoya is so smart, she either doesn't come to the wedding, or she is fully prepared. If you can catch her at the wedding, then She can't go away either!"
Yes, how deep is Lan Xiaoya's heart?Qiao Ruotan has seen it before. Back then, he was able to hold everything in his heart and planned the escape plan for so long... Now it is possible to escape again.
Thinking of this, Qiao Ruotan rubbed his face irritably...
Yikun sighed, "I don't know what the purpose of Xiaoya's coming back this time is for Xiaoyun, or if she plans to stay for a long time, we don't know, so what we can do now is to let Xiaoya relax her vigilance .”
There was a slight pause in the voice, and Yikun moved Ye Yun out, "Xiaoyun said that Xiaoya dared to send her a message, which proves that Xiaoya's heart has been put down, or she thinks that we will meet again at this time. You won't do anything to her either."
"Why do you say that?" Joyce asked.
"Xiaoyun said that Xiaoya probably couldn't let go of her feelings for Ruotan, so the only reason that made Xiaoya come back was that Xiaoya thought Ruotan had let go."
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Ruotan's mind came to his senses, "You mean the scandal between me and Gao Yunyi?"
Yi Kun nodded directly, "Your scandals are flying all over the sky, but the publicity department of the Fran Group has never clarified, and you have deliberately lured Gao Yunyi to Qiao's old house recently, everyone is guessing that you and Gao Yunyi are going to get engaged. Xiaoya probably thinks the same way...it's even very possible that the reason why she came back this time is because she thinks that you can let go of everything in the past, so she came back."
Qiao Ruotan frowned suddenly, "So what did you mean just now?"
"Add fuel to the flames, let Xiaoya completely relax her vigilance." As he spoke, Yi Kun lowered his voice, "Since everyone wants you and Gao Yunyi to get engaged, then get engaged."
"Isn't that bad? I don't think Gao Yunyi is someone who will let go easily. If she gets engaged, wouldn't Xiaoya become the third party?" Qiao Yian shook her head.
Yi Kun chuckled, "Then make a bet with Gao Yunyi."
bet?
Bet what?
Probably only Qiao Ruotan and Gao Yun knew about this.
With the advice of Yi Kun and Ye Yun, Qiao Ruotan made an appointment with Gao Yunyi again, but this time it was at Qiao's old house instead of outside.
In the study room of Qiao's old house, Gao Yun looked at Qiao Ruotan who was sitting across from him. It meant that he hadn't spoken for a long time, so she said, "So what do you want to say when you called me to Qiao's old house today?"
"We can get engaged, but I want to make a bet with you."
When Gao Yunyi heard the word "engagement", Gao Yunyi's heart skipped a beat. After four years of persistence, she finally got Qiao Ruotan's consent. How could she be unhappy.
But when Qiao Ruotan's second sentence came out, Gao Yunyi was obviously stunned, "What do you want to bet?"
"Xiaoya is back." Qiao Ruotan didn't hesitate at all, "I want to bet with you whether our engagement will start first, or I will find Xiaoya first."
Hearing this, Gao Yunyi's face darkened instantly, "Qiao Ruotan, what do you mean? Who do you think I am, Gao Yunyi? Is it a tool you used to lure Lan Xiaoya to appear?"
Gao Yunyi was so angry, Qiao Ruotan had guessed it a long time ago, but he didn't feel any guilt, he slowly raised his eyes to look at Gao Yunyi, Qiao Ruotan said slowly, "How did we stop the clues to find Xiaoya? , you should be clear about it, you made me lose all the clues at the beginning, now I just want to bet with you once, why, don’t you dare?”
Hearing Qiao Ruotan's words, Gao Yun was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Qiao Ruotan knew what she did back then.
His hands trembled slightly, Gao Yun stared at Qiao Ruotan in a daze, and asked word by word, "You know everything?"
Nodded, got up, approached Gao Yunyi, looked down at the woman in front of him, "When you sent someone to check on Xiaoya's news, I thought you were going to help me, but I never thought you knew better than me. How to force Xiaoya away!"
After saying that, Qiao Ruotan paused slightly, and laughed lightly, "Gao Yunyi, I didn't expect you to be able to see through a person..."
This sentence seemed to be a compliment, but as soon as Gao Yun knew it, he lost.
Qiao Ruotan has no feelings for her!
She had already guessed that Qiao Ruotan already knew what she had done, and confidently thought that Qiao Ruotan had never revealed what she had done in the past four years because Qiao Ruotan was giving her a chance.
But what Gao Yunyi didn't expect was that Qiao Ruotan, who had been ignoring her for four years, was waiting for her here.
Lost.
But it's impossible for her, Gao Yunyi, to just admit defeat like this!
"One bet?" Gao Yun said softly, and suddenly a sneer escaped the corner of his mouth, "Hehe, okay, let's bet once!"
"You said that Lan Xiaoya has come back? Qiao Ruotan, then you should know why Lan Xiaoya came back. Either she has let you go, or she thinks you have let her go, and both of these situations represent Seeing that she won't come back to you again, are you sure, you want to bet with me again?"
Sure enough, Gao Yunyi was very good at seeing people, and he was also able to see through the things around him, even in such an extremely angry situation.
It's a pity that Gao Yunyi's only flaw is that she refuses to admit defeat, especially in terms of feelings. If she is willing to admit defeat, maybe she and Qiao Ruotan will still be friends, but everything is impossible, but This is all for later.
Now, their bet is in effect.
Gao Yunyi's unyielding character would not allow her to retreat, and Qiao Ruotan had already expected Gao Yun to retreat without hesitation.
"Gambling." One word, biting it firmly, Qiao Ruotan's heart could not be clearer.
Gao Yunyi nodded, "Tomorrow, the Frank Group will make an official announcement, and the engagement ceremony will also be prepared. The acting must be a little more realistic!"
After all, Gao Yun walked past Qiao Ruotan, left the study, and left Qiao's old house.
The bet came into effect, and the Publicity Department of the Fran Group was also very strong. They sent out the news the next day at work, "A happy event for Qiao Gao: Qiao Ruotan (CEO of Fran Group) and Gao Yunyi (according to Yun Group) The general manager of the company) and the two confirmed their relationship recently, and the two have decided to hold an engagement ceremony next month!"
As soon as the news came out, many Qiao Gao CP parties became excited.
"Finally the official announcement! I finally got the official announcement! It's been four years, it's not easy!"
"Am I not mistaken? It's the official announcement Weibo of the Publicity Department of the Fran Group? The cp I'm talking about has finally been officially announced? Oh my god!"
"It's real now, it's official! Qiao Ruotan and Gao Yunyi are really suitable! Blessings!"
"Okay, okay, I advise Qiao Lan's cp fans to disperse as soon as possible. President Qiao is a person who can afford to let go. He broke up four years ago. No matter how good the past is, it is over after all. Don't always Take your family, Xiaoya, and tie up President Qiao Da! The current owner is the daughter of Juyun Group—Gao Yunyi!"
"Finally the official announcement, gratifying, congratulations, heaven and earth, long live Qiao Gao!"
……
Everyone is happy, but one person is sad alone.
who is it?
It was the one who struggled to let go, but couldn't let go—Lan Xiaoya.
Looking at the phone screen, Lan Xiaoya felt pain in her heart.
But no matter how painful it is, Lan Xiaoya knows that all of this has nothing to do with her, just like the above comment said, the past should be over, the Qiao Ruotan she knows is a person who can afford to let go, Now Qiao Ruotan really let go.
Putting down her phone, Lan Xiaoya looked at the bright sky outside the window and wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. Instead, tears flowed down her cheeks and seeped into her mouth, complicating the pain in her mouth .
Mixed flavors, maybe that's how it feels?
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears, but no matter how he wiped them, the tears couldn't be stopped after all.
Holding his face in his palms, bowing his head, he began to cry "woo woo".
Qiao Ruotan is sorry, I lost you, it was I who lost you, it was my fault...
But in matters of feelings, is it really about who is right and who is wrong?
Probably yes, but it is difficult to distinguish between absolute right and wrong when it comes to emotional matters.
A few days passed, and the wedding of Yikun and Ye Yun came as scheduled, and it was not affected by Qiao Ruotan's affairs. Of course, since the official announcement, Qiao Ruotan has also become busy, because Gao Yun came to him in a while on the grounds of "acting a show and doing a full set".
"Knock knock" has a familiar rhythm of knocking on the door, Qiao Ruotan doesn't need to guess, he already knows who is coming.
The person who opened the door in the next second was indeed Gao Yunyi.
Qiao Ruotan was slightly taken aback, then said slowly, "What are you going to do today?"
Gao Yun folded his arms around his chest, "Tomorrow is the wedding of Vice President Yi and President Ye. We must attend, right?"
Hearing this, Qiao Ruotan's face froze suddenly, "Yes."
"What? Didn't President Qiao want to bet with me? Now that I am your fiancee, this is the premise of our bet, isn't it?" Gao Yunyi had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Seeing that Qiao Ruotan was silent, Gao Yun leaned over slightly to look at Qiao Ruotan, "Why, do you regret it?"
"I have no regrets. You make arrangements, and I will take you to attend." Qiao Ruotan's voice was a little colder, and he got up and left.
Great, that's it!Looking at the back of Qiao Ruotan leaving, Gao Yun smiled, bet?Of course you have to bet!She wanted to see how that woman resisted all the scolding and stayed with Qiao Ruotan when Lan Xiaoya came back!
Yes, Gao Yunyi is such a person, if others make her unhappy, she must also make others unhappy.
The two of them were scheming against each other, neither of them thought it turned out that such a bet is not a one-way agreement.
Qiao Ruotan gambled no less than Gao Yunyi, but Gao Yun's calculations in his heart were no less than Qiao Ruotan's!Maybe these two people are destined to be friends, business partners, not lovers, but unfortunately, it took Gao Yunyi a long time to realize this truth.
Right now, Gao Yun will only act willfully, just like her own evaluation of herself, she must get what she wants, and it is impossible and will not be given to others!
Time does not wait for anyone, let alone give people too many opportunities for reflection. After making a decision, they either give up or just persevere. Qiao Ruotan decided to gamble once, and Gao Yunyi also decided to gamble once, but the two people's bet It is destined to be impossible to be just a bet between two people.
The wedding of Yikun and Yeyun arrived as scheduled. Gao Yunyi and Qiao Ruotan are now fiancées. As representatives of Fran Group and Juyun Group, they will naturally attend the wedding.
The wedding was private, but after all, there were reporters waiting at the door of the wedding venue, so when Qiao Ruotan and Gao Yun got out of the car arm in arm, they were still photographed by the reporter.
Looking at Qiao Ruotan with a tense face, Gao Yun couldn't bear to mock him, "Since Mr. Qiao wants to gamble, why does he have such a tense face? Do you think Miss Lan's brain is very bad? Seeing you so tense With a straight face, won't she guess what's tricky about it?"
Hearing this, Qiao Ruotan's tightly locked brows relaxed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
In this way, Gao Yunyi felt cold in his heart. It turned out that facing her, some tenderness could only be obtained by relying on Lan Xiaoya's relationship.
Ha ha!
Very good, she will remember, how Qiao Ruotan gave her such a great humiliation!
In a corner where the two of them didn't notice, a familiar figure appeared, that person was Lan Xiaoya in disguise.
Standing in the corner, through the gap between the reporters, she could clearly see Qiao Ruotan holding Gao Yunyi's back. Under the spotlight, she seemed to see the slight smile on the corner of Qiao Ruotan's mouth.
Is he happy?
Bringing his fiancée to his friend's wedding. Next month will be his engagement ceremony. The most important moment in life is finally coming. Qiao Ruotan should be happy, right?
But why is her heart so sour?
She obviously only wants Qiao Ruotan to be happy, but why can't she say a word of blessing?
Controlling her trembling hands, she quietly squeezed into the wedding venue through the small door next to her. No one here knew about it. The reason why Lan Xiaoya knew it was because she had followed Ye Yun to the wedding venue—during the wedding preparations, and here was Lan Xiaoya. What Xiaoya discovered was the only gap that could be mixed into the wedding scene. She wanted to take a look and see how her friend looked in the wedding dress.
When the time came, the track played at the wedding was the classic "Wedding March", and Lan Xiaoya couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Watching my friend walk through the long tapestry alone, step by step to Yi Kun's side, watching Yi Kun waiting at the end of the tapestry with pride and happiness on his face, watching Qiao Yi'an, Qin Qin, Qiao Ruoyuan and Qiao Ruoxing and others applauded for them in the audience, and Lan Xiaoya couldn't help but shed tears.
"Xiaoyun, I'm here, I'm sorry, I can't show up publicly, but I will always bless you." Lan Xiaoya said silently in her heart.
Wait a little longer, until Qiao Ruotan and Gao Yunyi got engaged, at that time, Qiao Ruotan really let go, and she could meet her friends again.
Lan Xiaoya thought so, but she didn't know that Qiao Ruotan's engagement news was just a trap prepared for her.
At the wedding, under the arrangement of the master of ceremonies, Ye Yun and Yi Kun hugged each other. This hug is a testimony of their years of waiting for each other.
However, from the corner of Ye Yun's eyes, he noticed that familiar figure in the corner.
Yi Kun obviously felt Ye Yun's body froze, and asked softly in Ye Yun's ear, "What did you see?"
"It seems to be Xiaoya."
Hearing this, Yikun was also taken aback, knowing that Xiaoya would come, so Yikun was not shocked, but the reason why he was stunned was because he wanted to inform Secretary Li quietly.
Finally, the process arranged by the master of ceremonies was over, and Yi Kun waved to Secretary Li.
Seeing the anxious expression on Yikun's face, Secretary Li immediately realized that Lan Xiaoya appeared.
So he quietly left his position, went to Qiao Ruotan's side, and whispered, "President, Miss Lan is here."
After saying this, Gao Yunyi, who was sitting next to Qiao Ruotan, suddenly turned his face. Yes, she had been paying attention to Qiao Ruotan's situation.
"Looking for someone!" Qiao Ruotan waved his hands, feeling nervous.
Secretary Li retreated after hearing the words, and hurriedly arranged staff.
Upon seeing this, Gao Yun couldn't help laughing, "Is Mr. Qiao nervous now?"
nervous?
Yes, nervous!
Qiao Ruotan frowned tightly, and the expression on his face was a little more worried.
Gao Yun saw it in his eyes and was jealous in his heart. Why, why can a person who is inferior to her in every way win Qiao Ruotan's heart?
In fact, many of us have a misunderstanding. We like someone not because she is better than most people, but because the person you like is exactly what you like.
Because that person is exactly what you yearn for in your heart, so even if there is someone who is better than the person you miss, you will not choose a better person, because no matter how good the later person is, they will never be better than you The person I love the most.
Qiao Ruotan did the same to Lan Xiaoya.
It's a pity that Gao Yunyi didn't understand that everyone has their own shining points, because she only focuses on her own shining points.
However, what is even more regrettable is that this time, they suppressed Gao Yunyi's movements, but they still couldn't find Lan Xiaoya. Even though they received the news at the first time, they still missed it. , after the master of ceremonies finished the wedding process, Lan Xiaoya left.
The surveillance video clearly shows how Lan Xiaoya came in through that small door in the corner, and how she quietly left through that small door.
After the wedding, Qiao Ruotan looked at the surveillance video on the computer screen, feeling infinitely flustered.
It's so close, why can't I catch it?
It's right in front of you, why why did you still miss it?
Qiao Ruotan didn't think it through, and probably Lan Xiaoya didn't think it through either.
Back at the residence, Lan Xiaoya saw a figure standing in front of her door, she felt a little bit in her heart, thinking that someone had found her, but when she took a closer look, it was actually Hao Xichen.
"Why are you here?" Lan Xiaoya asked in surprise.
Hearing the familiar voice, Hao Xichen looked up at Lan Xiaoya, and said slowly, "I came back the day you came back..."
The faint voice, coupled with the bloodshot eyes, is actually a little scary.
Lan Xiaoya froze for a long time, then frowned and asked, "Are you crazy?"
"You're right, I'm crazy!" Hao Xichen's voice was full of despair, "Lan Xiaoya, that man has already announced his engagement, do you want to continue to be persistent?"
