Retreat

After Hong Minhang was discharged from the hospital, he made an appointment with Qiao Mudong in person with great sincerity, intending to put the construction of the new Lingyun on the agenda again.

Qiao Mudong didn't refuse this time, but asked Wen Guanghua to talk to him.

Wen Guanghua didn't think it was very suitable, "I can't finalize this matter, and Di Hong will feel that we are not sincere."

Qiao Mudong said: "Didn't we talk about the same thing with Di Hong before? Just ask them to draw up a contract according to the original negotiated conditions, and then let Ling Qiang take care of it."

Wen Guanghua was taken aback when he heard the words, "Young Master Qiao, do you mean that you don't plan to care about it anymore?"

Qiao Mudong is not in the mood to take care of Ling Yun's affairs recently, he said: "I will take care of it, if Hong Xiaomao wants to cheat us, call me immediately, and I will go to him to solve it."

Wen Guanghua had no choice but to do as he said, and at the same time called Ling Qiang, and told Ling Qiang what Qiao Mudong told him.

Ling Qiang took a deep breath and said, "I see."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Qiang looked a little tired.

There were too many things going on at home recently, Ling Zhilu refused to forgive Fu Chenshan desperately, and lost her temper every day at home because of little things.Fu Chenshan came over yesterday, and just knocked on her door, when she heard the sound of her smashing things and telling Fu Chenshan to roll.Otherwise, if she insisted on getting a divorce, Ling Qiang would of course not agree, so Ling Zhilu locked herself in her room and refused to eat the food.

Zhou Xuelan cried every day, but she didn't dare to persuade Ling Qiang, so she could only persuade Ling Zhilu over and over again.And I don't know if it's because of my overthinking, Ling Qiang feels that Zhou Xuelan's mental state is not very good recently, seeing her sitting alone in a daze from time to time, even a slightly louder sound can startle her.

As for Fu Chenshan, he has been a little out of shape recently.At first, he tried to persuade Ling Zhilu for a few days, but it didn't work. He seemed to be tired, and he didn't show up at Ling's house for two days.

Ling Qiang asked Fu Chenshan to come to his office and asked him: "Are you just letting it go? Are you planning to divorce Zhilu too?"

Sitting opposite Ling Qiang, Fu Chenshan said with a low mood, "I can't persuade her."

Ling Qiang said: "I can't persuade her to find a way! Buy her a gift, take her out to play, if you really can't do it, kneel down and admit your mistake, I don't believe she can still be angry for the rest of her life!"

Fu Chenshan was silent for a moment, and suddenly wanted to ask, if it were you, would you be willing to kneel down and apologize to your wife?But he didn't ask, he knew he couldn't say that, Ling Qiang didn't put him on an equal footing with the Ling family, Ling Qiang didn't like him at all, he's been patient until today, there's no need to punish him for a while .

Seeing that Fu Chenshan's face was really ugly, Ling Qiang finally eased his tone, "Don't think about divorce, you just got married, and your life will last forever, this time it's a lesson, don't do it next time. Zhilu has a stubborn personality, I can't bear to be wronged, but my nature is also pure, more persuasion will always be good."

Fu Chenshan nodded, "I see."

Ling Qiang said: "Okay, you go to work."

When Fu Chenshan went out, he met Qiao Mudong who wanted to knock on the door to come in.The two looked at each other without speaking, passing by like strangers.

Qiao Mudong pushed the door open and asked Ling Qiang, "Are you looking for me?"

He was outside in the morning, but it was Ling Qiang who called him back to Ling Yun.

Ling Qiang looked very ugly, and didn't tell him to sit down, and asked directly: "What are you planning?"

Qiao Mudong walked in, closed the door smoothly, and asked, "What's the plan?"

Ling Qiang raised his hand, took off his presbyopic glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Don't you want Ling Yun anymore? Who do you want to hand Ling Yun to? What are you going to do? Be a hooligan?"

Asked questions one after another, Qiao Mudong listened calmly, and then said: "I never thought of asking for Lingyun."

"Qiao Mudong," Ling Qiang said, "what are you thinking? I really don't understand."

Qiao Mudong said: "Lingyun was created by you alone. You regard it as more important than anything else. You think that no one in the world does not care about it. I can understand it. But it is not the case for me. To me, it is more important than Lingyun. There are too many important things, my friends and brothers are more important than it, and you want me to give up my most important person in exchange for Ling Yun, that's even more impossible."

Ling Qiang sneered, "What is it?"

Qiao Mudong said: "You are right, it is He Yu."

"I thought," Ling Qiang said slowly, "we still have time, when you gradually understand that you and that man are impossible, but now it seems that I should wake you up as soon as possible. Qiao Mudong, don't you If you waste any more time on that man, you won't get results."

Qiao Mudong looked at Ling Qiang, "I wonder where your confidence comes from, why do you say that?"

Ling Qiang said: "Just because you are my son, you don't have to take those detours. What I will show you is the most smooth shortcut for your life."

Qiao Mudong suddenly felt helpless. In terms of blood relationship, the person opposite was his biological father after all. Even if he hated him and was unwilling to accept him, that person still wanted to treat him wholeheartedly, no matter it was him or not. want good.

Qiao Mudong was silent for a moment, and said: "I won't follow your path, and you don't want to force me to separate from He Yu by any other indecent means, even if you ask someone to kill He Yu, I will stand It's useless to help him block the knife in front of him."

Ling Qiang stared at Qiao Mudong and asked, "Nothing works?"

"Yes." Qiao Mudong said.

Ling Qiang took a deep breath and said: "Since you don't want to do work, then don't do it, do whatever you want, I don't care about you now. But I don't raise waste, if you want to leave, just leave cleanly. Let me keep the house you live in, the car you drive, and the credit card you swipe, and you can take that man with you."

Qiao Mudong stood up and said, "Okay."

Ling Qiang looked at him coldly, "You might as well try, how long will that man be with you if this continues."

Qiao Mudong propped his hands on the edge of the table, leaned over to look at Ling Qiang, "When you were with my mother, how much money did you have? Let me tell you, even if you are poor for the rest of your life, my mother will stay with you for the rest of your life! You don't want her You might as well try it out and see how long that woman surnamed Zhou will be with you after you lose a penny? Ling Qiang, it doesn’t matter if you’ve been wrong for the rest of your life, I won’t follow you!”

After Qiao Mudong finished speaking, he took out the car keys and threw them on Ling Qiang's desk.

Ling Qiang's chest heaved violently, and he stared at Qiao Mudong as if he couldn't breathe. Even though he didn't want to admit it, Qiao Mudong said that even if he was poor for the rest of his life, Qiao Wenxin would talk to him for the rest of his life. It was like stabbing him in the chest suddenly. I thought there was no wound there, but it turned out that it was just covered up. Once it was broken, blood would flow out.

Qiao Mudong turned around and left neatly.

Ling Qiang clasped the edge of the table with both hands, uncontrollably recurring in his head many images of being with Qiao Wenxin in the past, and finally fixed on the scene of her jumping down from upstairs.In fact, he didn't see Qiao Wenxin jumping off the building with his own eyes, but after knowing the news, he dreamed of this scene more than once, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. She was wearing a plain dress and jumped from the sixth floor, almost instantaneously. He lost his fresh life.

Ling Qiang closed his eyes, not daring to think about anything, and raised his hand to cover his face.

There was basically nothing to clean up in Qiao Mudong's office, and he himself hadn't been back for a long time.

Huang Haisheng looked at him anxiously.

Qiao Mudong hammered his chest, "You don't have to follow me from now on, just relax."

When he walked out of Lingyun's building, the first thing he did was to call He Yu, "I was kicked out by Ling Qiang."

He Yu was having a group meeting and came out to answer the phone quietly. At this time, he said excitedly: "Really?"

Qiao Mudong could hear the joy in his tone, smiled silently, and said, "But we were also kicked out of the house by Ling Qiang, and the house and car were returned to him. We might end up living on the streets."

"It's okay," He Yu was afraid that he would be in a bad mood, so he persuaded him in a low voice, "I'll take a leave of absence in the afternoon and leave early. I'll rent a small house first, and then go back to pack up and move. You can ask Brother Li to borrow the car first, he shouldn't would mind."

Hearing this, Qiao Mudong said, "Why wait for you to get off work? I'll rent a house now, and then I'll go home and pack up my things. I don't need to bother Brother Li. The furniture and appliances at home are not ours. There are not many things. Just take a taxi." gone."

"Is that so?" He Yu was a little worried.

Qiao Mudong said, "I'll do as long as I say, and you'll stop talking nonsense."

After Qiao Mudong finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

He Yu continued to go back to the meeting, but he was obviously out of shape.He was a little excited, he didn't care for a good car or a big house, he wanted to live quietly with Qiao Mudong, even if he rented a small house, as long as it was big enough for two people.

He went to get off work for half a day in such an absent state, and when it was time to get off work in the afternoon, He Yu asked Zhang Qin for leave and left first.He originally wanted to take a rental car, thinking that the economy would not be too rich in the future, and he might need a mortgage to buy a house, so he thought it would be better to save a little now.

It was almost seven o'clock when we got home by bus, and Qiao Mudong had almost packed up both of them's belongings.

As Qiao Mudong said, most of the things at home were prepared by Ling Qiang, they didn't need to take them away, even the desktop computer in the study room was brought in, so He Yu hurriedly took the mobile hard disk to Copy all your files.

The two of them did not start a business together, and the kitchen utensils were not complete, only some toiletries in the bathroom, Qiao Mudong said no, just buy new ones, He Yu thought that buying too many things at once would cost money, so he was somewhat reluctant, so he also packed them together .

Qiao Mudong let him alone, all the clothes were packed into the suitcase, he sat on the sofa and watched He Yu walking around the house, packing up all the small things that could be packed.

When leaving, He Yu suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.Although I knew from the beginning that this house would not be here for long, after I got out of prison, many memories with Qiao Mudong remained here.After leaving this time, Qiao Mudong might not come back, but he should never come back again.Once Qiao Mudong compromises with Ling Qiang again, it will probably be the day when he separates from him.

The key was left in the mailbox downstairs of the apartment, and Qiao Mudong notified Ling Qiang for someone to pick it up.He carried two big boxes to stop the car outside, and He Yu followed, also dragging a big box, standing downstairs of the apartment building, and looked up at the top floor again.

After getting on the bus, Qiao Mudong reported an address, which was in the southern outskirts of the city. Although it was relatively close to He Yu's work place, it was too far from the city center, so life and transportation would definitely not be too convenient.

After hearing this, He Yu hugged Qiao Mudong's arm.

Qiao Mudong turned to look at him, "What?"

He Yu shook his head, "Very good, how much is the monthly rent?"

Qiao Mudong said: "It's not expensive."

"That's good," He Yu said, "It's better to buy a car if it's convenient."

Qiao Mudong said, "I thought you wanted to save the money to buy a house."

He Yu shook his head, "I can't even afford the down payment. Buy a cheap second-hand car for transportation, and it will be easier to get in and out in the future. I work very close, so it will be inconvenient for you in the future."

Qiao Mudong snorted, "I don't have a job anyway."

He Yu said: "You always have a plan, right? Even if you go back to the north of the city to be a hooligan, you should have some income every month."

"Where does the hooligan get his income?" Qiao Mudong asked.

He Yu raised his hand and touched his head, "You are so tall, you can be a security guard for others, or go to the construction site to move bricks, I don't believe you can't make a penny."

Qiao Mudong patted his hand away, "I will move bricks for others?"

He Yu was naturally making a joke, and now he smiled and said, "Then what is this uncle's plan?"

Qiao Mudong said: "Don't worry about it, just take care of yourself."

The taxi had already driven out of the third ring road, and he asked Qiao Mudong for the direction uncertainly. Qiao Mudong leaned forward and looked at the street signs outside to show him the way.

He Yu looked at the scenery outside the car window. In fact, the area in the south of the city has been developed, and there are not many real estate in the community. It's just that the suburbs of the city are relatively wide and there is no complete supporting facilities nearby, so it always looks a bit remote.The place where they are now has a high-rise community on the left and a low-slope villa area on the right. He heard Qiao Mudong say this, and looked towards the high-rise community on the left.

But unexpectedly, the driver turned right.

He Yu quickly said: "The direction is wrong."

The driver said, "Didn't you say that here?"

Qiao Mudong said: "It's here, let's drive in, master."

"Huh?" He Yu grabbed Qiao Mudong's arm in surprise.

Qiao Mudong smiled, and held the back of his hand with his backhand, "This is the villa my grandfather bought before, and now it is our new home."

He Yu still couldn't believe it, "Your grandfather?"

Qiao Mudong nodded.

"How could it be?" He Yu felt a little absurd. He was ready to endure hardships with Qiao Mudong, but now he told him that Qiao Mudong got such a house from Qiao Song.No, it must be more than this house. He Yu remembered that Qiao Mudong once said that Qiao Song had a lot of money. He grabbed Qiao Mudong's arm and said, "Qiao Song's inheritance is not only this house, right?"

Qiao Mudong said: "Of course not only, it's more than I imagined. But I also paid a lot of taxes." He complained in a low voice.

At this time, the taxi driver had already seen the front of one of the dark and cold villas in the direction Qiao Mudong pointed, and stopped.

Although it is a single-family villa area, the distance between the two adjacent houses is not too far. He Yu can see the light coming from the opposite side.

Qiao Mudong paid the fare, took down the luggage, and the taxi turned around and left.

Qiao Mudong opened the door with the key.

He Yu followed behind him, saw him open the door, and then touched the switch on the wall to turn on the overhead light. For a moment, the soft orange light illuminated the whole big house, compared with the house they lived in before. , much larger.

Qiao Mudong said, "I asked the cleaner to clean it in advance."

However, due to the lack of occupancy for a long time, the inside of the house still looks damp and cold. The furniture and furnishings are all old-fashioned, and traces of the original owner can be seen.

He Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But Qiao Mudong obviously didn't have that many thoughts. He sat down on the Chinese-style wooden sofa, patted his leg, "Come and sit."

"What are you doing?" He Yu walked over.

Qiao Mudong grabbed his waist, let him sit on his lap, and said, "Congratulations on our moving to a new house." Then he kissed He Yu's lips.
