May there be no time to turn back
Chapter 16
Taking the opportunity to rush back to Kunming overnight made Guan Xiao a little sleep deprived.He walked out of the terminal building with a tired face and found that Secretary Guo had been waiting for him for a long time.
"So I jumped at nothing?" Guan Xiao heard that the situation had changed, and asked a little displeased, "What is the origin of this person, he is going back on his word at will, and he doesn't take Guan Shi seriously at all, right?" He sat in the back seat , shut the car door heavily,
"Mr. Qiao Han, the founder and general manager of Hanhai Group." Secretary Guo explained to Guan Xiao tirelessly as he drove back, "There is indeed a reason for this time, no wonder he."
"Hmph." Guan Xiao snorted, and said sarcastically, "He's not well-known, but he's very busy. He thought he could sit back and relax by cheating my mother's trust? It's delusional to avoid meeting with me with some lame reason for business. Can I hide for a lifetime?!" The trees on the side of the road passed the car window very quickly, and the lush greenery was pleasing to the eye, but it couldn't dispel even half of the anxiety in Guan Xiao's heart.
"The overseas trade chain is broken, young master." Secretary Guo corrected, "Mr. Qiao once said that he hoped to meet the young master, so this time to organize the wedding, Madam also asked me to invite the young master back to the headquarters. But unfortunately Unfortunately, the Hanhai Group was in crisis, and Mr. Qiao had no choice but to leave for the United States this morning to mediate, and the original schedule was delayed because of this. Madam expressed her understanding, so I hope the young master will not blame you."
Guan Xiao obviously disagreed: "Did he mention when to postpone it?"
"Probably next week." Secretary Guo speculated.
"Okay, I won't leave for the time being, I'll just wait for him here." Guan Xiao declared in a demonstrative manner, "I want to see what kind of words he can use to convince me to admit the identity he wants to seize."
Guan Xiao got off the car in front of the mansion.This old house still maintains its former appearance without any change.The gradually fuller sunlight hit the spotless windowpane, coating it with a layer of light gold.
The servants unscrewed the old door to welcome the young master back.Guan Xiao stepped into the room, and a familiar aura immediately rushed over.
Han Li was resting in the reception chair, when he saw Guan Xiao coming in, he immediately got up and greeted him.
She stared at Guan Xiao's face intently, as if she was overlapping the face in front of her eyes with the one in her memory.There is a silent undercurrent flowing slowly in her eyes, which is called longing.
"Why are you so haggard? Is the work in the machinery factory very hard?" Han Li stroked the broken hair on Guan Xiao's temples, and asked with some distress.
"Fortunately, I'm fine." Guan Xiao responded, trying to reassure her mother.
"It's still hard to take care of yourself alone," Han Li sighed. "If you're tired, go home. There are uncles here to help you make suggestions, so it's somewhat easier."
"Mom, I'm doing fine," Guan Xiao rebuffed veiledly, "You don't have to worry."
The only son traveling thousands of miles became Han Li's heart disease after all. She knew that she couldn't persuade the stubborn Guan Xiao, so she could only pity her but fell silent helplessly.
Guan Xiao looked at his mother, who was wearing a simple and elegant long skirt, and her hair was carefully tied up in a bun, all of which revealed a virtuous and dignified temperament.The years obviously showed mercy in her life, and did not form the scars of vicissitudes.The beautiful facial features and good-looking face are as charming as before.Exquisite makeup adds some beauty, but it can also give a glimpse of her natural beauty that can still be eye-catching even without makeup.It is impossible to tell her actual age based on her appearance alone. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Guan Xiao, she does not feel like a mother and child, but looks like a brother and sister.
In Guan Xiao's impression, since his father's sudden death, his mother was often depressed, sad and lonely, and sometimes she would be in a daze for hours without saying a word, not interested in managing her life, let alone embellishing her appearance in such a grand manner.
And the current intentional drawing is obviously for the meeting in the schedule, which is inseparable from that Mr. Qiao.
Presumably, the hasty farewell in the early morning was something no one expected.
"Mom," Guan Xiao was not in the mood to use pleasantries as a buffer, and directly cut to the point, "Uncle Guo roughly told me about Mr. Qiao on the way here."
"That's it..." Han Li's indifferent face flashed a gleam of light, and she praised without hesitation: "Qiao Han is a very courageous and capable person, who can stand the test and endure hardships. Han Hai's journey It’s not easy to come, but his hard work really impresses me. I admire him, and there are many things you can learn from him.”
After hearing her mother's high evaluation of Qiao Han, Guan Xiao dismissed it: "But Mom, do you know the total assets of Hanhai Group?" Without waiting for Han Li to answer, Guan Xiao continued, "It's far less than a tenth of Guan's. [-]. Not only is his status different from yours, but the speed of Hanhai’s development is even more appalling. Now that troubles have occurred in the overseas trade chain, it must be inevitable that he will be seriously injured. This person is destined to be unreliable, so it’s better to let him fend for himself never mind."
Guan Xiao's blatant disdain stung Han Li, she pursed her lips forcefully, and said bluntly: "When Hanhai encounters difficulties, Mrs. Guan will never sit idly by."
Guan Xiao looked at his mother in surprise, her words were calm, but she concealed an unshakable determination.Such Han Li made Guan Xiao feel a little strange.
"You may have been fooled and lost your mind." Guan Xiao shook his head helplessly, and enlightened him, "I have seen such temptations with ulterior motives a lot. To approach you and follow your lead is nothing more than coveting the assets of the Guan family in vain. Income into the pocket through despicable means. You should keep your eyes open and see clearly, don’t act too hastily, and make judgments easily, so as not to see through the truth in the future and feel sad and depressed.”
"Son, you have to know," Han Li said solemnly, "Whether a person is reliable or not is not judged by his social status. People who are close to the Guan family are not without exception trying to get a piece of the pie. Wait, you can feel it."
Guan Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, but Han Li didn't give him time.
"We invited you to discuss the specific matters of the wedding. We want to get your blessing, not to listen to your advice. Besides, you have never cared about Guan. I am not young anymore, and I don't have so much energy to fight To manage all these properties, there must be someone to help. And he is obviously a person worth entrusting."
The mother's slightly accusatory tone made Guan Xiao feel very uncomfortable.
He barely suppressed his antipathy towards Qiao Han in his heart, and kept silent.If you want to give a pertinent evaluation for Han Li's reference, you have to meet him in person to make a decision.
But all that needs to be done now is to wait until Qiao Han returns home.
Before that, no matter what Guan Xiao did, it was useless.
He contacted his deputy far away in Q City and authorized him to take care of all the affairs of Guan's Machinery.After making arrangements, Guan Xiao lay on his back on the bed in his bedroom, looking at the ceiling.My mind was empty, I didn't think about anything.He just gave birth to a little emotion, sighing that time flies, and many things that he thought would never pass away have faded into the shallows of the river of time and gradually disappeared into nothingness.Like the long days of youth spent in the mansion, when so much wasted time, thinking that the books would never be finished and the games would never end.But now, just resting here quietly has become a precious experience. Occasionally, it is fortunate to be realized, it is like filling the missing gap in my heart, and I have a sense of fulfillment.
How long has it been since you really lived here?Guan Xiao turned sideways and looked out the window. The weather was fine and fine. There were birds chirping near and far away. The breeze blew by, and he heard the rustling sound of leaves flapping each other.
Huge drowsiness suddenly invaded Guan Xiao's mind, he closed his eyes and let his consciousness gradually dissipate.
Whether it's a confrontation with mom's new boyfriend, or protecting the property of the Guan family, let's put it all aside for the time being.At this time, Guan Xiao just wanted to have a good sleep, as for the troubles that got more and more chaotic, let's wait until he woke up.
"Miss, why are you so unhappy?" Gong Yaochen came out of the bar after singing enough time, and walked home with Changhe.He chatted and laughed to himself for a while, but he realized that Chang He was too quiet.
Chang He reluctantly smiled at him, then lowered his head again.The cool wind in the middle of the night messed up her bangs, revealing her eyes with a huge and lonely expression.
There has been no news from Tang Feng for a long time.Although Changhe often reminded himself of the fact of the breakup, unreasonable thoughts easily flooded.Memories turned into chains and wound heavily around my heart, becoming an indelible torment, tossing and turning every night, at a loss as to what to do.
Originally, Tang Feng's departure was never envisaged.
Originally, he never imagined Gong Yaochen's return.
Chang He smiled wryly, fate sometimes came and went in a hurry, full of unimaginable uncertainty.In the final analysis, perhaps all of them are debts owed in past and present lives, and they must be paid off one by one.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Gong Yaochen's face suddenly approached in front of him, with great worry.
"It's nothing." Chang He said lightly, unwilling to say more.
Chang He's indifferent response made Gong Yaochen's greetings a bit redundant, but he didn't care about it, instead he smiled and pointed to the dessert shop by the side of the road, clamoring to buy a drink for Chang He, and ran into it excitedly.
Looking at his back disappearing behind the door, Chang He thought that the way of getting along with Gong Yaochen is indeed simpler, as long as you give him money, he will be as well-behaved as a kitten, and there is no need to worry about getting out of control.
After receiving the hot drink from Gong Yaochen, it was very warm with a thin layer of steam in his hand.Chang He thanked him, and thought he might as well just go on like this forever.What is Tang Feng, he will not appear again after all.
When approaching the building, Chang He subconsciously looked up at the window of his own house, and found that the lights inside were brightly lit, and he was stunned for a while.
"What's the matter?" Gong Yaochen turned around and asked when Chang He stopped.
"Sorry, but can you please stay overnight in the dormitory tonight?" Chang He's voice was a little trembling, with a hint of excitement in confusion, "I suddenly remembered something urgent, I can't keep you tonight."
Although Gong Yaochen was frustrated, he still shrugged and agreed, and obediently turned back along the way he came.Chang He tried his best to calm his beating heart, and it took him a long time to gather up enough courage to run upstairs and open the door.
"Tang Feng." Chang He read, with expectation in his tone, and the gloom of many days was instantly swept away.
And Tang Feng was sitting quietly on the sofa with his chin propped up, Xunsheng raised his head, his face was as cold and indifferent as when he left.
"So I jumped at nothing?" Guan Xiao heard that the situation had changed, and asked a little displeased, "What is the origin of this person, he is going back on his word at will, and he doesn't take Guan Shi seriously at all, right?" He sat in the back seat , shut the car door heavily,
