Retreat

He Yu felt a little strange that Li Tangyue was in a place like Juxiang Garden.Li Tang's vicissitudes and carelessness are not suitable for this kind of classical and exquisite high-end restaurant.

The waiter led them to the private room, and when he opened the door, he saw Li Tang sitting alone at the table, with one foot on the chair, smoking a cigarette.Seeing the two of them, Li Tang beckoned, "Come and sit."

The table was a small table for four people. Qiao Mudong and He Yu sat down on one side, and the waiter asked, "Is the food ready?"

Li Tang nodded, "Go ahead."

"Why are you eating here?" Qiao Mudong asked He Yu's question first.

Li Tang smiled, "The dishes here are delicious."

When Li Tang followed Hong Xiangfeng when he was young, he also visited many places.He is not used to the environment here, but it does not mean that he will not appreciate the exquisite and delicious food here.

"Brother Li, what is it that suddenly reminded us to have dinner?" He Yu asked him.

Li Tang glanced at Qiao Mudong, and said: "Didn't I say it, I haven't seen you for a long time, I will come out to sit when I have time."

Qiao Mudong handed Li Tang a cigarette, "Brother Li is in a good mood recently?"

Li Tang didn't deny it, stretched his waist and said: "Recently it's pretty good."

Qiao Mudong asked him, "Did you find that person?"

Li Tang nodded his head lightly, "Soon Hong Xiangjun won't have time to look for you again."

The scale of Hong Minhang's underground casino was larger than Li Tang imagined, and Li Tang finally found the person in charge he was looking for.Hong Minhang dared to entrust such an important business to him, of course he had absolute trust in this person, and he could give Hong Minhang his heart.And more importantly, this person still has a large source of funds, which is the most important guarantee for Hong Minhang to dare to invest in Xiaoxianlin.

In the past two years, Hong Minhang has put the focus of Dihong's investment on real estate. In addition to Xiaoxianlin, Dihong also has two real estate projects under construction at the same time, both of which are residential land.These are all started at the same time as the construction starts, and the sale starts, and a large amount of funds can be withdrawn. However, the recent national housing price regulation, Chongfeng City has been rumored that housing prices will fall, so many buyers have slowed down and took a wait-and-see attitude.

Although we know that based on the current housing prices and demand in Chongfeng City, it is unlikely that the housing prices will drop sharply in the end, but with a large amount of funds invested in Xiaoxianlin and it has not improved for a long time, Hong Xiangjun and the two brothers will be flustered. normal.

Most of Di Hong's people now are those who followed Hong Minhang before. These people may not be loyal to Hong Minhang, but if they don't have money, they will definitely not show loyalty to Hong Xiangjun and his brothers.

So Di Hong suddenly felt precarious. Even if no one came forward to instigate, many people began clamoring to leave, or to let Hong Minhang come back sooner.What's more, there is a group of brothers who are loyal to Hong Minhang behind them stirring up the atmosphere.

The previous rumors about Hong Minhang were that he had an accident and had been in a coma in the hospital. Now there are various theories. Some say that Hong Minhang was killed by Hong Xiangjun's brothers, and some say that Hong Minhang is dead at all. Yes, it was the Hong Xiangjun brothers who were hiding the news.

Now it's time for Brother Hong Xiangjun to face this choice, whether to let Hong Minhang come back to show up and stabilize Dihong's situation, or simply solve Hong Minhang's future troubles, and at worst give up most of Dihong's foundation.

Li Tang is also waiting, and now Hong Minhang is staying in the hospital to continue treatment, because he is afraid that he will be injured if he acts carelessly, but once Hong Xiangjun and his brothers express their intention to get rid of Hong Minhang, the hospital will Even if the people buried over there need to rob, they must get Hong Minhang out first.

Li Tang didn't tell Qiao Mudong all these things. Qiao Mudong had already helped him a lot when he was alone and helpless in the past. Now that he has contacted Hong Minhang's subordinates, he should not get involved in the Hong family's affairs anymore. up.

Today's small gathering is purely because Li Tang thought of such a restaurant with well-made small dishes, and invited Qiao Mudong and He Yu to come out and share.

Most of the topics discussed during the meal were He Yu's recent situation, and occasionally related to Di Hong's affairs, they were just a few superficial remarks.

After eating, Li Tang left alone.He Yu asked him where he lived now, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and said that he would invite He Yu to eat delicious food when he had the opportunity.

He Yu missed Li Tang's dishes very much, Li Tang said: "Okay, next time I cook by myself, I invite you to have a meal."

After that day, He Yu didn't see Li Tang again for a long time.During this period, He Yu got the news that Fu Chenshan and Ling Zhilu were going to hold a formal wedding.

He Yu first heard the news from Xie Zhan. Since that dinner, Xie Zhan also felt embarrassed seeing He Yu for a long time, and the two of them met just to say hello.But as time went by, Xie Zhan probably felt that it was not a big deal, so he took the initiative to move closer to He Yu.

When Xie Zhan received Fu Chenshan's wedding invitation, his mouth was quicker than his head to respond, and he asked, "Why don't you invite me?" As soon as he finished asking, he wished he could slap himself in the face. He Yu obviously wouldn't be welcome. He Yu definitely wouldn't want to go after such an unpleasant quarrel before, how could he ask such stupid things.

Xie Zhan didn't know that Fu Chenshan might have hesitated for a long time because of this.

He didn't intend to invite He Yu at first, he didn't want He Yu to watch him marry a woman, and he was also afraid that Ling Zhilu and He Yu would have conflicts when they met, and he was afraid of hurting He Yu again.But this is his wedding, even if it cannot be the happiest moment in his life, as long as he thinks of that scene, he still hopes that He Yu can appear by his side, even if he does nothing, just looking at him so intently good.

There was also an invitation card in Fu Chenshan's arms, which was He Yu's name written by himself. He hadn't planned to give it to He Yu, but at this time, he handed it to Xie Zhan and said, "If it's convenient for you, Give it to him for me. You tell him that if you don’t want to come, you don’t have to come, it’s just my heart.”

So, Xie Zhan took over this hot potato.

When Xie Zhan handed the invitation to He Yu, he repeatedly emphasized what Fu Chenshan had said. He carefully observed He Yu's expression, and seeing his calm expression, he felt a little relieved and said, "Then you keep it." .”

He Yu returned to his seat, opened the invitation card, and saw that the design of the invitation card was very unique. There was a bouquet of flowers between young men and women facing each other, and when they pulled the ribbons of flowers, the picture changed to embrace each other in wedding dresses of a man and a woman.But the content of the invitation is very ordinary, that is, the time, place, and the person who will hold the wedding. He Yu and his family are invited to attend."And family" was originally printed on the invitation card, and the words "He Yu" were written by Fu Chenshan himself. After so long, He Yu was surprised that he could still recognize Fu Chenshan's words at a glance.

He Yu's mood was quite calm. In fact, he had fantasized more than once before that he would show up at Fu Chenshan's wedding one day, perhaps as a best man, watching him hold other women's hands.He Yu thought that he would be sad at that time, but he would smile and sincerely wish Fu Chenshan happiness, but he didn't expect that when things came to an end, he would become the mentality he is now.

Even Fu Chenshan didn't want him to be there, yes, so what if he went, he was still an unflattering character, and might even make the bride angry on the spot, so it's really better not to go.Besides, from the bottom of his heart, He Yu didn't want to go.

It's just that when he saw the words He Yu and his family, He Yu would inevitably think of his mother who he hadn't been able to see for the last time, and his sister who refused to see him again. In the end, the figure left in his head became He became Qiao Mudong.But he didn't know what Fu Chenshan would think of when he saw these words.

He Yu closed the invitation and put it in his drawer.

The day of the wedding is not far away, just two weeks later on Saturday.

Before that, He Yu specially bought a red envelope, and was a little hesitant when he put the money in it.Both he and Qiao Mudong are people who don't pursue the quality of life very much. They usually eat and dress casually, and they don't have to pay rent or mortgage, so their consumption is not high.But He Yu's income is not much now, and his work is tiring, so he is even more reluctant to spend it.

He took 1000 yuan and stuffed it into the red envelope, and then felt it was inappropriate, and finally added another [-] yuan.

Qiao Mudong lay on the sofa watching TV, caught He Yu's movements, and snorted.Of course He Yu wouldn't go to the wedding, but Qiao Mudong had to be there. He spread out an arm and said, "Bring it, I'll get it for you."

He Yu refused, "You don't want to take it, I'll ask Xie Zhan to bring it for me."

He sealed the red envelope, took another pen, and wrote on the back: I wish a happy marriage for a hundred years——He Yu.

After getting ready, he handed it to Xie Zhan the day before Fu Chenshan's wedding.

Xie Zhan weighed the heavy red envelope in his hand and was amazed, "You gave so much? What should I do?"

Xie Zhan and Fu Chenshan had an average relationship. He knew that Fu Chenshan was rich, so he didn't care about that. He only sealed a 400 yuan red envelope. He Yu's offer was worth [-] yuan. He didn't show up, so he smashed him Got a little dizzy.

He Yu said: "It doesn't matter, I grew up with him, and compared with ordinary classmates, the relationship is still a bit heavier, don't mind."

Xie Zhan had no choice but to say, "Oh, that's fine, anyway, I will definitely bring it for you."

He Yu nodded, "Thank you."

On the day of Fu Chenshan's Ling Zhilu's wedding, Qiao Mudong was ordered by Ling Qiang to arrive early in the morning.

The wedding was scheduled at a newly built five-star hotel on the outskirts of the city. The reason why it was chosen here was that the hotel had a spacious area and a large lawn.Ms. Ling wanted a Western-style wedding, but she didn't believe in religion and didn't plan to go to church, so she asked for a lawn wedding. After the ceremony, the banquet in the hotel had been booked, and it was inevitable that they would have to eat and toast.

Qiao Mudong was wearing a casual suit, looking tall and tall, and walked around in front of the mirror quite chicly.

He Yu has been woken up since he got up. He doesn't have to go to work today, and he has nothing to do. He lay on the bed and watched Qiao Mudong's beauty. He said with a smile: "Mr. What do you care about?"

Qiao Mudong walked to the bedside, pinched his chin with his fingers, "Of course it was to steal the groom's limelight, but unfortunately, you couldn't see it."

He Yu patted his hand away, "I don't want to watch."

Qiao Mudong snorted, "I've had enough sleep and go eat by myself."

"Understood," He Yu said, "Go quickly."

Qiao Mudong came out of the house and drove directly to the hotel, because everyone from the Ling family had arrived early to prepare for the guests.Qiao Mudong parked the car and walked towards the lawn where the wedding was held. Because it was a newly built hotel, the turf had just been planted. It looked like a large green area, like a golf course, and the environment was really good.

In front of the white building directly in front of the lawn, a flower gate has been set up, and the ground next to it is interspersed with white and pink balloons, piercing a big heart.

Wen Guanghua accompanied Ling Qiang to stand on the lawn, watching the workers do the finishing touches, and tied the cloth wedding photos of Fu Chenshan and Ling Zhilu to the bottom of a large number of hydrogen balloons, which will be released when the wedding is over The balloon will fly into the sky together with the photo.

Qiao Mudong walked over, stood beside Ling Qiang, and said, "It's not that I want to pour cold water on them. These balloons will explode when they fly into the sky. If this photo falls into the Tianbian River, it's fine. If it falls on the main road in the city center, Wouldn't it be a joke?"

Ling Qiang sneered, "Aren't you called pouring cold water?"

Qiao Mudong said: "The truth is often not pleasant."

At this time, Su Chang walked out of the white building gate behind him in a dress, and walked towards several people on the lawn.She was temporarily recruited by Wen Guanghua, because she had a lot of experience in reception and banquet preparation in the school etiquette team, so she was asked to guard the hotel and the wedding company for the wedding preparations this time.

When Su Chang saw Qiao Mudong, he paused involuntarily.It's not that there is any idea, the young girl must feel somewhat different when seeing the tall and handsome Shaodong, and it is natural to be nervous.

Wen Guanghua waved to her, "How is the preparation for the banquet?"

Su Chang trotted over, "Everything is fine, and the infield banquet has been arranged, Manager Wen, do you want to go and have a look?"

Ling Qiang said suddenly: "Mu Dong, let's go. The preparations are almost done outside, and the wedding car will go to pick up people at home later, and come directly to welcome guests at the hotel gate. You and Xiao Su go to see the banquet. , It’s almost time to come out, maybe they will arrive.”

Su Chang stretched out his hand quickly, "Mr. Qiao, please."

Qiao Mudong nodded, "Please lead the way."

Ling Qiang and Wen Guanghua stood in place and looked at the back of the two leaving. Su Chang was close to 1.7 meters tall, and his appearance, body and temperament were outstanding, and he seemed to be a good match when standing with Qiao Mudong.

But Ling Qiang didn't say anything. Watching them walk away, his eyes fell back to the large photo in front of him. After hesitating, he said, "When the balloon is released later, just hold the string under the photo and let it float up. Don't let go."

Wen Guanghua listened beside him, bowed his head and smiled.
