Xiao has thought about it for a long time

The winter in Jiangcheng is getting colder and colder. The leaves of the trees on both sides of the street have fallen off, only the holly is still green, the sky has always been gray, and it is empty at first glance. The layers of high-rise buildings are like a forest shaded by trees. Dense and crowded.

The relationship between Josie and Zhao Shihuan broke down silently. The world of adults is different from that of childhood, and it takes some fierce quarrels to separate them. A phone call is enough, and there is no need to argue or explain.

Zhao Shihuan's position is different from that of Josie's, so her considerations are naturally different. She has always been like this, has not changed, and has always stood in the most correct position without wavering.

There was a rift when I was a child, and the two candies might be able to reconcile after a while, but not now.

After all, there will be a day when children will not listen to adults. Besides, Zhao Shihuan is only a peer, and Josie is a person who can think independently. She has her own choices. In the cage of names.

Zhao Shihuan came to the hospital to see Qiao Jianliang once, trying to ease the relationship, but failed to do so. She is too considerate, considerate of everyone, almost no bias, no matter when, this time It doesn't work.Josie didn't even look at her once, and stayed with Qiao Jianliang for a while before going out with her bag.

The other party followed, seeming to be very surprised by the current situation, which exceeded expectations, and Josie's attitude made her inexplicably panic.

"Jojo!"

However, Josie never looked back.

Zhao Shihuan didn't bother to let go, and watched the car drive out of sight.There used to be one or two moments when my heart was still there, I hesitated, but after all, I couldn't take a step, and I didn't even show my heart. She is a traveler who travels thousands of miles, and occasionally stops to enjoy the scenery. The scenery stays, and we go all the way towards the finish line.

Josie and Zhao Shihuan, that is, the sea and the sky, seem to be joined together from a distance, and they cannot be distinguished from each other, but in fact they are thousands of miles apart and have never had a close relationship.

Qiao Jianliang could see that there was a problem between the two young people, so he turned a blind eye and didn't ask a word.His priority now is to recuperate quietly. After getting out of bed, he still needs to do recovery treatment and training for more than half a year. The cerebral hemorrhage has brought about many problems, even walking is difficult.

In these short two days, the situation in Jiangcheng was changing quietly.

There was a rumor that the top would soon carry out major actions to rectify the bottom, and the atmosphere would be clear and upright. As for who was above and who was below, there was no specific confirmation, and those who had ghosts in their hearts panicked all of a sudden.

Huddle together, clean up, people panic.

However, there was no change after that, as usual, it seemed that it was just a rumor before, and the news that spread randomly, after a while, some people's suspenseful hearts fell and they were able to calm down.

Josie didn't pay too much attention to these things. She tried her best to do what she should do in the company, and even did a charity event during the period. Of course, all of this was a cover-up. Unpleasant to the extreme, the more you don't allow it, the more you have to do it, and you have to touch things that you can't afford.

When she was still living in the compound, some elders commented on her like this. She was too serious, not tactful, and she didn't know how to deal with people at all. One day, she would suffer a big loss.

Children are cute when they twist their tongues, and they will be coaxed by others, but adults who can’t figure it out are called ignorant of current affairs. Right and wrong are not that important in this society. Standing in front of most people is very annoying. People are annoying, and she is not yet capable of fighting against the opposite.

On Saturday, Josie met with Fu Bei. They originally made an appointment at a coffee shop, but they went to an apartment in the university town to hide it from others.

Josie thought that this person would be like Zhao Shihuan again, acting in the name of her own good, but he didn't.

Fu Bei made her a cup of coffee, sat face to face and chatted casually, revealing some information to Josie in words.

Josie was silent for a long time, but still asked, "Why don't you let me check?"

Fu Bei said, "I didn't cut off the clues."

Ever since Josie started to work on these things, the people behind have reacted. She didn't act at first because she thought she wouldn't be able to make too much trouble. Act in a low-key manner, and deal with it in secret, don't startle the snake, and ignore Josie for the time being.

If you touch someone else's cake, you have to repay twice, otherwise you will be unlucky. After all, it is luck. If you catch up with this time, otherwise the Qiao family will definitely be besieged on all sides.

But it was so, Josie still insisted on not changing.

A person has to be impulsive for decades in his life. The last time was for the person in front of him, and this time it was for himself.She is not that tall, and her purpose is not noble at all, it is just because she is not willing to be tricked around her, and she wants to fight back with fire.

Many things have gone through this year, and the relationship between the two has not yet eased. Fu Bei finally stopped admonishing and obstructing him this time. He wanted to say "do what we can", but he stopped talking, so he asked about Qiao Jianliang's situation instead. .

The conversation that should have been tense was extremely peaceful, and only at the last moment did it ignite.

Josie asked without beating around the bush: "Have you meddled in these matters?"

Fu Bei answered simply: "Yes."

"Which side?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then his expression moved slightly, and an indescribable expression appeared on his face. After a long time, he said, "Where do you think I am?"

In this war without gunpowder, the Qiao family didn't even have the qualifications to enter the arena. They were just inconspicuous little players. It didn't really matter how Fu Bei stood in line. Everyone was out to maximize their interests.

Josie raised her eyes, and said something in a roundabout manner, but the direction was particularly obvious. She asked, if a group of thieves stole things that did not belong to them, would this group of people be punished accordingly?

A group of thieves, not just one, directly asked Liang Jincheng if this pedestrian would be punished as he should. Naturally, this pedestrian included all those involved, including Liang Yuzhi who might be involved.

This is a particularly difficult choice. No matter how Fu Bei chooses, he will be full of scars. One is justice and love, and the other is family and affection. If he chooses the former, the Fu family will suffer together, and they will be involved to some extent.She didn't answer immediately, but asked softly, "what do you think?"

Josie resolutely said: "You can be sentenced as you want, and people must be responsible for their actions."

Fu Bei lowered his eyes and said nothing, refilling her coffee without saying his choice.

In fact, the position has long been very clear.

The rest of the days are like bare trees, lifeless, the sun is shining brightly in Jiangcheng every day, and the weather is warm, but there is a low pressure over the city amidst the dark waves, and the filth is spreading under the bustling as always.

Chinese people pay attention to the new year and the new atmosphere, so the things of this year are generally not reserved for next year. The end of the year is always the most festive and lively time, but also the most unstable time.

No matter how chaotic the outside world is, Josie is as unmoved as a mountain. She no longer cares about others and concentrates on running the company. Compared with before, she has restrained herself a lot.It's not that I'm really afraid or I listened to someone's advice, but I have my own plans.

As for the meaning of Fu Bei's words and what she was going to do, she no longer entangled herself with it, she didn't care about anything, and went about her own business secretly.

Qin Si often went to the hospital, and most of the time she sat there for a while before leaving, and occasionally waited for a long time for Josie to pass by. She suddenly became gentle and introverted, without the arrogance and domineering arrogance of the past, and even cooked food by herself. come over.

"You're a pretty good friend, with a good heart." Qiao Jianliang commented.

However, Josie understood Qin Si's character, so she let it go after listening and didn't say much.

Qin Si deliberately peeped into Josie's life, probably because he wanted to blend in, but his hard work was in vain. Josie was a rock that couldn't be warmed up, and she didn't respond anyway. It should be said that she never regarded her actions as courtship behaviors. , as usual.

Qin Si was a little annoyed by this, but she couldn't hold back her face. One sentence was like a thorn stuck in her throat. It hurt slightly, but she didn't dare to pull it out. Every time she swallowed, she would feel the thorn in her throat. exist.

She knew that Josie and Fu Bei were still in contact, and she knew even more that the two had a rift recently. Fu Bei seldom appeared again, and Josie never took the initiative to mention this person. sentence.

"Are you planning to travel during the Chinese New Year?" Qin Si asked, it seemed that he had other plans.

This question has been asked a long time ago, and Josie's answer remains unchanged, "No."

Qin Si still didn't give up, "You are so tired this year, you should relax when you go out for a walk, and combine work and rest."

"I still have things to do, so I don't have time." Josie replied, with a lot of troubles, there is no time to travel.

Qin Si asked: "What's the matter?"

Josie used Qiao Jianliang as an excuse, and the other party stopped asking.

In fact, it's not entirely prevarication. Part of his energy must be put on Qiao Jianliang, after all, he hasn't recovered yet.

When the condition was almost stable, Qiao Jianliang was officially discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate. He had mobility problems, and walking became a big problem.

When lying on the hospital bed, other people seemed to be fine, but it was so serious that it was difficult to lift the legs, no different from being disabled.

In fact, the doctor told me before I was discharged from the hospital that these conditions are sequelae, and it will take long-term training and recuperation to recover slowly. It will be a very long process, so I must be patient, but it is still unknown to what extent I can recover. .

Qiao Jianliang knew his situation a long time ago, and he was already mentally prepared for a protracted battle. He was full of ambitions when he was under the care of doctors and nurses in the hospital, but he was discouraged after two days home, because the next night, Josie He and Zhou Meihe's mother and son were not at home. He accidentally fell off the bed and couldn't get up with his face on the ground. He was found by the nurse half an hour later. He wore too little clothes in winter, and his whole body was blue from the cold. His face was also swollen, with a large bruise.

He was so cold that he almost lost consciousness, and suffered a lot.

The nurse didn't do it on purpose. He thought he would lie down and rest. He was working downstairs at that time, thinking of getting some warm food for him to eat when he woke up. Who knew that he would fall out of bed.

In fact, Qiao Jianliang could shout loudly, but he didn't. His self-esteem didn't allow it. He tried many times to remember it, but he just couldn't get up, it was useless.

Zhou Meihe went home first, so angry that she almost choked her breath, lost her temper when she caught the nurse, and didn't care about Qiao Jianliang first.

The nurse knew that he couldn't afford to offend the rich, and was afraid of losing money or deducting his wages, so he kept apologizing, nodding and bowing incessantly, and almost knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Qiao Jianliang couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded: "Okay, there is no end!"

Being yelled at for no reason, Zhou Meihe was inevitably aggrieved. Thinking of the grievances she had suffered these days, thinking of the fact that she was angry because she felt sorry for Qiao Jianliang, and thinking of many old grievances, she immediately turned red, and had a fight with Qiao Jianliang for the first time .

In fact, she was the one making the fuss. Qiao Jianliang was a patient, so he didn't have the energy to fight. This night was very sad, he felt powerless, physically and mentally exhausted.

The nurse felt guilty and asked tentatively, "Mr. Qiao, do you want to call Miss Qiao?"

Qiao Jianliang stopped, "Don't disturb her."

There were a lot of things in the company, and there was a mountain of work that needed to be dealt with. Josie was so busy that he didn't touch the ground. When he had time to return to Qiao's house, it was already the next afternoon. At that time, only Qiao Jianliang and the nurse were left at Qiao's house.

After being scolded yesterday, the nurse was trembling, thinking that he would experience it again, but it didn't.

Seeing the injury on Qiao Jianliang's face, Josie was taken aback for a moment, and then her throat was stiff. Before she could ask, Qiao Jianliang said, "I fell myself yesterday."

His figure was decadent, his whole body was lifeless, and his mentality changed overnight. Josie's heart was blocked and he couldn't say anything.

Sickness and death are the most pitiful thing in this person's life. Sometimes illness is more difficult than death, and the pain caused by an illness is far more severe than parting.

Josie stood where she was, touched her mouth before she could speak, and then boiled an egg for Qiao Jianliang to remove the bruise.

"I'll call later to ask a nurse to come over and take turns to do things. One nurse can't be busy," she said.

Qiao Jianliang didn't say a word, his figure was lonely.The mental distress caused by the disease is far greater than the physical pain. Frustration is the most unbearable, and it is easier to destroy people's mentality.

This incident brought many changes to Qiao Jianliang, or maybe he remembered something again. When Josie came over again, he suddenly asked, "Did you read the documents in the safe last time?"

Josie didn't expect it, and it took a long time to recover, nodded, "Yeah."

Qiao Jianliang didn't continue talking, but asked Josie to help him up and walked a short distance.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, something unexpected happened.

——A company under the name of the Zhou family was seized, the specific reason is unknown.

Some people who thought they were relieved immediately rang the alarm. They were so frightened that they almost lost their souls, thinking that the sky would change. However, within three days, everything returned to normal, and the Zhou family did not feel any pain.

Everyone was heartbroken, and went to the Zhou family to seek evidence, but unfortunately the Zhou family kept silent and never mentioned these things.

Josie was not well-informed enough. When she noticed this, another incident happened one after another. The game invested by Zhou Qun went offline again. It was still the same problem as last time. The first time I was beaten, this time it was not as easy as the last time.

This is not unlucky, what is even more unlucky is that there has suddenly been a wave of boycotting plagiarism on the Internet. In the past two years, the copyright wind has blown up. It became a trend to scold Zhou Qun's game company for a while.The online world is true and false, and netizens just want to vent and don't even ask for proof. Anyway, they just follow the trend, but they can scold vigorously.

Zhou Qun didn't expect it, even buying a navy was of no avail.

First, the Zhou family was wounded, and then Zhou Qun's company was attacked from both sides. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this wave is not over yet, and something will happen. Therefore, in just a few days, people who have close contacts with the Zhou family have come out one after another. Tuck your tail, for fear of being hurt.

Josie is not interested in watching the excitement. Her target is not at the Zhou family for the time being, and she has no energy for who is behind the scenes.

When the company was almost busy, she had done everything she needed to do. She went to meet someone alone, and then went back to Qiao's house to stay with Qiao Jianliang for a few days.

Zhou Meihe's mother and son had to go back to their mother's house for a while, and Josie stayed to take care of Qiao Jianliang. The father and daughter spent two days together for their birthday, and Qiao Jianliang was quite satisfied.

"It's not bad to be quiet like this, it's more comfortable."

Josie said, "If you want, I can find you a place to live for a while."

Qiao Jianliang didn't answer, he didn't know if he wanted to or not.

The affairs of Zhou's family were not over yet, Zhou Meihe received a call from Josie.

As soon as the company started its annual vacation, Josie took Qiao Jianliang and left the compound, whereabouts are unknown.
