Retreat

Ling Qiang's sudden visit was beyond the two people's expectations.Seeing He Yu subconsciously take a step back, Qiao Mudong grabbed his hand and walked in together.

In fact, Ling Qiang came here not long ago, he called Qiao Mudong a few times but couldn't get through, so he came here in person at night.He knew something about Qiao Mudong's cohabitation with He Yu, but he kept his eyes closed and didn't say anything.Came here tonight, no one was seen at home, Ling Qiang originally planned to wait for a while and leave, but it happened that Qiao Mudong and He Yu came back together.

Ling Qiang was not angry because Qiao Mudong walked in with He Yu's hand, he just said calmly, "Sit down, let's talk."

The house was prepared by Ling Qiang for Qiao Mudong, but this was actually his first visit.There are traces of human life everywhere in the whole house. For example, the shirt that Qiao Mudong changed the night before was still thrown on the sofa, and books and laptops were also messed up on the coffee table. Ling Qiang acted like he was asking people to prepare.Qiao Mudong didn't remodel the house even a little bit according to his own preferences, and he didn't even hang a picture of himself. It feels more like he treats this place as a hotel.

Ling Qiang is very attached to Qiao Mudong, this attachment may be incomprehensible in the eyes of others, just like Fu Chenshan, who is obedient and capable son-in-law, why he still insists on letting Qiao Mudong go back, and is willing to leave him alone? The Lingyun he had worked so hard to build was handed over to this rebellious son.

Qiao Mudong was willing to talk to him, but he didn't let go of He Yu's hand.

Instead, Ling Qiang said to He Yu politely, "Can I avoid it for a while?"

He Yu said to Qiao Mudong, "I'll go upstairs."

Qiao Mudong took his head with one hand and kissed him on the forehead, "Go." If facing Ling Qiang made He Yu feel uncomfortable, he didn't intend to force He Yu to stay here.

He Yu walked up the stairs to the second floor. He didn't go far. At the corner where the stairs led to the corridor, he sat down slowly with his legs crossed. From here he could hear the conversation of the two people downstairs.

Ling Qiang didn't intend to talk about He Yu with Qiao Mudong. The last time he talked about He Yu with Qiao Mudong, the two broke up. Now he thinks the timing is not right, so he doesn't plan to bring it up again.Unlike Ling Zhilu, he didn't have any obvious dislike for He Yu. If he really wanted to say something about his feelings, he probably just didn't like him.

There are many things Ling Qiang despises in his life. He despises love. Even though he has loved before, he doesn't think it is a necessary emotion in life, so he chooses to abandon Qiao Wenxin, the only one he has ever loved in his life, and turns around to be with her. Zhou Xuelan, who was helpful to his career at the time, got married; similarly, he also looked down on women, so he never thought that Ling Yun could be handed over to Ling Zhilu. As for He Yu, one is because He Yu used to embezzle public funds in Lingyun, which in his opinion is tantamount to stealing, and the other is because of the relationship between He Yu and Qiao Mudong, he feels that He Yu regards himself as a woman If he is attached to another man, there is no such thing as self-esteem, so he doesn't need to respect the other party.

Probably because he didn't like it, Ling Qiang didn't use strong means to separate him from Qiao Mudong.He once strongly asked the two of them to separate, but it was unsuccessful, but later he gradually figured it out.He has always felt that Qiao Mudong is his son, and it doesn't matter how romantic he was when he was young. One day he will see his own way clearly. Like Ling Qiang, who knows what love is, those things are not worth mentioning.

Qiao Mudong sat face to face with Ling Qiang, he didn't speak, waiting for Ling Qiang to start.

Ling Qiang said: "You went too far at the banquet the day before yesterday, it's not appropriate."

Qiao Mudong shrugged indifferently.

Ling Qiang said: "Even if they wronged your friend, you should show your dignity and never forget your identity."

Qiao Mudong suddenly looked at Ling Qiang with some incomprehension, he could see the clumsy methods of those people, he knew that He Yu was wronged, but he could pretend not to know, and still stood in the middle with an unmoved appearance Play the same role as the referee.

Qiao Mudong asked: "Why don't you just argue with those people, I believe you can't wait to see him fall into such a miserable situation that you can't explain."

Ling Qiang was very angry the day before yesterday, and he himself may not have lost his composure in a long time.This dinner was organized by the entire Chongfeng Electronic Information Industry Association for a long time. It was an important banquet to mark a perfect end to the previous exhibition. Ling Qiang wanted to use this opportunity to let everyone know Qiao Mudong, and let everyone know what to expect in the future. Ling Yun's true successor.

But Qiao Mudong's fight with those few people at the end not only ruined the banquet, but also planted a big or small obstacle for his future career.

These are things Ling Qiang does not want to see.

Hearing Qiao Mudong's question at this time, Ling Qiang actually smiled, "We are father and son, I don't want to hurt you because of an outsider. But I can tell you something now, do you think you will last long? Impossible joke."

He Yu was upstairs, and when he heard his words, he couldn't help but raise his head.

Qiao Mudong didn't believe it, he snorted, "Why do you say that?"

Ling Qiang said: "I have lived for decades, and I have seen a lot of life. When you really become the master of Lingyun, stand on the highest peak of this city, and you look down, everyone will be just as small , so small that you can't see clearly. The man upstairs will be just one of the people standing underground looking up at you, and because of what he has done before, he will never be qualified to stand by your side You are all men, you will not have children, you will not be bound by blood, and then you will understand what I said today."

He Yu propped his head with both hands, staring blankly at the large shadow in the darkness ahead.

Qiao Mudong quietly listened to Ling Qiang's words, and finally just snorted, "I'm not you."

Ling Qiang said with a smile: "You are still young."

Because I'm young, I still believe in love; because I'm young, I still can't feel the taste of money and power.

When He Yu heard that Qiao Mudong had been silent, he suddenly felt his heart tighten. He felt that what Ling Qiang said was not unreasonable. There may be eternal and eternal love in this world, but it is something that cannot be met.The time he and Qiao Mudong spent together is not long or short, but no one knows what direction it will take in the future.Qiao Mudong took a step back and still had his biological father and Ling Yun, but as for himself, since he chose to go to jail for Fu Chenshan, he had no way out.

After a moment of silence downstairs, Qiao Mudong asked aloud, "Is there anything else?" He believed that Ling Qiang came here not just to teach him a few words.

Ling Qiang said: "I heard from Guanghua that Hong Xiangjun looked for you several times, but you refused to see him?"

Qiao Mudong nodded and said, "Yes."

Ling Qiang said: "Yesterday, Hong Xiangjun wanted to bypass you and come to see me directly, but I refused."

Qiao Mudong looked at him, he understood what Ling Qiang meant, Ling Qiang wanted to help him build up his prestige, and he would completely let him do what he said he would do, at least in front of outsiders, he would not show that he wanted to intervene the meaning of.

"It's better not to go too far," Ling Qiang said, "Dihong is a big and prestigious company. At the beginning, we also made a preliminary verbal intention with Hong Minhang, so he would invest heavily in Xiaoxianlin. Now we regret it and say no. Nice to hear."

Qiao Mudong said: "It's not considered repentance, it was a verbal intention with Hong Minhang, not with Hong Xiangjun."

Just like Wen Guanghua, Ling Qiang also thought that Qiao Mudong was deliberately lowering the price, so he said: "The new Lingyun is definitely going to be built. It will take a lot of manpower and material resources just to re-select the site and buy the land. If the conditions are right, I will sign a contract with Dihong." , everything is enough, too much is too late."

Qiao Mudong said to Ling Qiang: "The current Emperor Hong seems to be unstable."

Ling Qiang looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

Qiao Mudong said: "Hong Minhang is not dead yet. It's hard to say whether Hong Xiangjun and Hong Xiangguo can secure this position. Anyway, I know that someone is behind the scenes. I don't think this is a good time for us to sign a contract with Dihong. "

Di Hong's background is black, Ling Qiang knows a little bit, but he doesn't know as much as Qiao Mudong, and he is even less clear about Hong Minhang's situation.If Hong Minhang returns to Dihong in another day, although the contract with Dihong now will not be insignificant, but it is hard to guarantee whether Hong Minhang will have a grudge, and if it affects the construction of the new Lingyun, it will cause trouble for no reason up.

Ling Qiang then said: "Then you can figure it out, it's best if you can get a feel for Di Hong's situation."

Qiao Mudong said, "I know."

Ling Qiang stood up and was about to leave. He stood in the living room, looked towards the direction of the second floor, and finally said nothing.

Standing at the door, he said to Qiao Mudong for the last time: "When you make up your mind to separate from him, you will understand every word I said today. It's okay to be stupid for a while, but don't be stupid for the rest of your life."

Qiao Mudong replied flatly, "I know if I'm a fool or not."

The door was closed, Qiao Mudong put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood there for a while, and then walked upstairs.

He Yu was still sitting on the ground leaning against the wall.

As soon as Qiao Mudong reached the second floor, he saw him.

He Yu raised his head.

Qiao Mudong bowed, touched his head with his hands, then squatted down, wrapped one arm around his back, and the other passed under his knees, and hugged him horizontally.

He Yu was startled, and wrapped his arms around Qiao Mudong's shoulders to maintain his balance.

"Go," Qiao Mudong said, "go to sleep."

Ling Qiang took the elevator to the underground parking lot. His driver was waiting for him in the car and never left.

Ling Qiang got into the car and said to the driver: "Go home." Then he took out his mobile phone and made a call.After a while, the call was connected, Ling Qiang didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "You can arrange it, young and beautiful girls, if you really can't do it, boys are also fine, find a chance and get it with Qiao Mudong."

The person on the other side of the phone replied: "Okay, but will this be bad for Young Master Qiao?"

"Let him play," Ling Qiang said, "my heart is more and more off-road. When it becomes more and more unsatisfactory, let him take everything away, and he will know how it feels. I want him to come back by himself in time." beg me."

Hanging up the phone, Ling Qiang leaned back. Today's words are not only for Qiao Mudong, but also for He Yu. It is best to make that young man feel that Qiao Mudong is unreliable. Once there is a crack, It is difficult to repair.

The author has something to say: Today I will send a special episode:

Hong Minhang's cat didn't die, even though it was already dying at that time, it was sent to the pet clinic for two injections and some medicine, and then gradually improved.

So Hong Minhang went to Li Tang's place more frequently.

Li Tang is a gentle person, as long as Hong Minhang comes, he will spare time to accompany him, even if it's just two people sitting on the sofa watching TV together; Min Hang eats.

Once Li Tang was out on business and didn't go home for two days. On the afternoon of his return, he saw Hong Minhang sitting on the stairs, curled up on his knees and fell asleep.From that day on, Hong Minhang had the key to Li Tang's house.

Hong Minhang would go there when he had nothing to do, and sometimes he would spend the night at Li Tang's house.

However, as Hong Xiangfeng's business grew bigger and bigger, Li Tang's affairs became more and more frequent. Every time Hong Minhang passed by, there was an empty room, and Li Tang could not be found.

Gradually, the time Li Tang could spend with Hong Minhang became less and less.When Hong Minhang was in high school, Hong Xiangfeng sent Hong Minhang to the most famous foreign language school in the city. It was a boarding school. Even on weekends, Hong Xiangfeng kept him at school and was unwilling to send someone to pick him up. go home.

On the first weekend spent at school, Hong Minhang felt uncomfortable. Seeing that most of his classmates had left school on Friday afternoon, he was left alone.

On Saturday afternoon, Hong Minhang slipped out and took a bus to Li Tang's place.He wasn't even sure if Li Tang was at home, he just wanted to check it out.

When he arrived in front of Li Tang's house, before Hong Minhang had time to take out the key to open the door, the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside.

Hong Minhang was stunned for a moment, and found that the person who opened the door was not Li Tang, but a woman in a red skirt.The woman was about to leave when she saw Hong Minhang standing at the door, turned around and said to the people in the house, "There is a handsome guy looking for you." After she finished speaking, she passed by Hong Minhang, her high heels rattling sound, down the stairs.

When Li Tang walked to the door, he seemed to have just taken a shower, wiped his hair with a towel, and looked a little surprised, "Min Hang, why are you here?"

Hong Minhang suddenly panicked, he vaguely guessed something, but felt that it shouldn't be like that, he took a few steps back again and again, Li Tang was afraid that he would fall, so he hurried up and stretched out his hand to hold him, preventing him from further retreating .

Hong Minhang shook off his hand vigorously, turned around and ran downstairs.
