Can I like you

Shanghai ocean house villa.

Xiao Penghan stood in the hall on the first floor confronting Liang Qing and Aunt Su with a cold face.

Today is the whole week he has been here. During this week, Liang Qing took him to the annual meeting of Shihe Group and attended various banquets. A group of subordinates came.

In the past few days, Xiao Peng proposed several times to go home to visit his parents, but Liang Qing refused each meeting with various reasons. Today Xiao Peng proposed that he had to go back to Lincheng after staying for a long time, but Liang Qing and Su My aunt still used various reasons to prevent him from going back.

"Is this what Li Shuhe meant?" Xiao Peng asked calmly but firmly.

Liang Qing's expression froze for a moment, and then she laughed again: "What does it have to do with that brat! It's me who wants you to stay with me, eldest son!"

Xiao Peng said seriously: "Since I came to Shanghai, I have always respected you and Aunt Su, so I hope you will respect me too. Please tell me the truth, did Li Shuhe ask you to keep me in Shanghai? "

Aunt Su took his arm and smiled and said to him: "Xiao Peng, don't worry, we really hope that you will stay here for a while, isn't it the Chinese New Year? You just stay for the New Year , after the Chinese New Year, let’s find a warmer place with the elders and come back until the beginning of spring, isn’t that good?”

As clever as Xiao Peng, it's not that he has no doubts all the time, it's just that he told himself over and over again that Liang Qing had good intentions and really liked him, and Aunt Su also sincerely wanted to keep him for a longer period of time.

But when she remembered that she had just arrived here, Liang Qing took him to choose clothes, making it clear that she knew that she would live here for a long time; preparing expensive suits and accessories for herself, she also knew in advance that she would attend Shihe's annual meeting.With such detailed arrangements, he really couldn't deceive himself any longer.

"Aunt Su, you are an elder, I don't think you will do anything to deceive the younger generation, please tell me the truth." Xiao Peng stared at Aunt Su intently: "You don't let me see my parents, don't let me Going out alone, even Lincheng doesn't let me go back now, what is the reason for all this?"

Liang Qing gave an irritable "tsk" sound: "Xiao Peng, listen to me, Ah He's side is in a mess, now is really not the time for you to go back!"

Xiao Peng's heart suddenly rose: "Is the matter of Shihe Group so complicated?"

Liang Qing stopped talking immediately, and Aunt Su also turned her head evasively.

"Or...he didn't help Shihe, he was lying to me from the beginning?" Xiao Peng murmured, "Then he leaves early and returns late all day, what is he doing?"

Li Shuhe has a clingy personality, he can't wait to report in detail what he does every day, and what makes him hide it from him.

That's right, there are things that he can hide, and things that he promised himself not to touch again.

"Is he working for the gang in his hometown?" Xiao Peng's question seemed to be a statement, maybe it didn't need to be understood at all, the answer was already obvious.

Liang Qing and Aunt Su glanced at each other, Xiao Peng's heart was already in a mess, and he unconsciously started flashing back to the gang movies he had watched, the bloody faces turned into Li Shuhe His appearance made him distraught and frightened.

"He promised me not to get in touch with those things, why did he lie to me?" Xiao Peng said to himself, seemingly not expecting anyone's answer.

Liang Qing sighed heavily: "Ahe didn't tell me the specific situation, we just heard that he returned to the north of the city, but we don't know what to do and how to do it."

Aunt Su also explained: "Xiaoshu must have his reasons for doing this. You have been together for so long, don't you know what kind of person he is, Mr. Xiao?"

"I thought I was clear." Xiao Peng said lightly, "But now, I don't have the confidence anymore."

Liang Qing comforted him with a slow voice: "But no matter what, Ah He must have done this for the purpose of protecting you, Xiao Peng, you listen to me, let's stay and have a good year, and when the annual leave is over, I will Go with you to accompany your parents, and then you can join Shihe with peace of mind and wait for Ahe to come back."

Xiao Peng was shocked and raised his head in doubt: "Join Shihe? Why should I join Shihe?"

Only then did Liang Qing realize that she had said the wrong thing.

Xiao Peng seemed to understand something. No wonder Liang Qing took him to the meeting last year so solemnly when he first arrived, and then let him know Shihe's partners, and even introduced herself to his confidant at the end. because this.

But why did he join Shihe... He is in Lincheng, so he obviously has a job.

No, no... The blood on Xiao Peng's face faded instantly. He was in Lincheng and had no job.

Because of an unknown report letter, because of an overwhelming rumor, his work in Lincheng has stopped, and he even faces the situation of being fired.

A icy chill enveloped Xiao Peng's whole body from bottom to top, and a terrifying thought kept beating in his mind.

Xiao Peng's pale face frightened Liang Qing. She panicked and wanted to defend her son, but in fact, the more she said, the more mistakes she made: "There must be a reason for Ah He's arrangement! If it's not urgent He will not be willing to let you leave his side, let alone send you to Shanghai!"

Exhausted?What did Li Shuhe think about?

He seemed to understand what Li Shuhe was thinking.

Xiao Peng raised his eyes with difficulty, lingered for a moment on Liang Qing's delicate and anxious face, and said in a voice that seemed light and unrecognizable: "You said that you worked hard, if you mean that he sent me away If he doesn't hesitate to ruin my career and ruin my reputation, then he has really tried his best."

Liang Qing was stunned, she couldn't understand Xiao Peng's words.

Xiao Peng took a deep breath intermittently, and sorted out what happened emotionally like talking to himself: "I was investigated by the Education Bureau because of an inexplicable report letter, and because of a rumor that came out from nowhere. Rumors, I have to apply for suspension, everything seems to be pushed by hands behind it, those hands drove me out of Sanzhong, and now they sent me to Shanghai."

"So, now everything has an explanation."

"Those hands are called Li Shuhe, right?"

After hearing what he said, even Aunt Su covered her mouth in surprise: "Mr. Xiao! You can't think about it! How could Xiaoshu do such a thing?!"

"Because I understand him, and he understands me." Xiao Peng turned his stiff neck and looked at him: "He knows that no matter what reason he uses to persuade me, I can't abandon the child who is about to take the college entrance examination. So he decided not to leave. One point, push me down from that position, even if it requires sacrificing my children, even if it requires sacrificing my career and my reputation as a teacher!"

Liang Qing has been silent all the time, Li Shuhe will always be a naughty child who hasn't grown up in Aunt Su's eyes, but she knows her son, he will do what Xiao Peng said.

Xiao Peng felt cold all over his body in an instant, he would never have imagined that the big boy who hugged him and acted coquettishly, used such low-handed means to personally destroy his career, pour dirty water on him, and even promote public opinion with his own hands, Push him to the center of the storm and be scolded by the world!

It's ridiculous that now someone tells him that it's all for his protection.

Protect him by destroying him.What the fuck is this ridiculous reason? !

Xiao Peng felt that he had no way to stay in this magnificent room any longer, so he wanted to find Li Shuhe, and he wanted to listen to his own explanation.

Xiao Peng walked out of the gate without looking back, Aunt Su followed closely and called his name: "Xiao Peng! Xiao Peng!" But he didn't look back.

Liang Qingqing shouted: "Xiao Zheng!"

The young man with the yellow hairy hair quickly ran over: "Madam, what's the matter?"

"Go and stop Teacher Xiao! Don't let him leave!" Liang Qing anxiously ordered.

At this time, Li Shuhe was having a meeting with the responsible hall masters in Pankou, Chengbei.

Ever since the task force landed in Lincheng, Chengnan hung over those people like hell, they were eager to get rid of their relationship with Chengnan, and once Chengnan lost its protective umbrella, those things that were hidden in the dark and could not be put on the table gradually exposed .

After fighting with Chengnan for so many years, Chengbei knows exactly where they must die.

As a result, reports were made to the Municipal Public Security Bureau one by one, and a battle for the south of the city was officially launched.In just one week, the Chengnan Gang, which was under attack from both sides, not only lost a few profitable bets under their hands, even the core leaders were invited in to drink tea.

"He's really a young hero!" Fourth Master Ge praised Li Shuhe without hesitation in front of everyone, "I'll just say it! As long as the young boss is willing to take action, can't you take care of those things in the south of the city?"

Li Shuhe just smiled lightly, and didn't care about his praise. After all, he had to do more than that, and there were still many things that hadn't officially started!

On the Shanghai side, Liang Qing was pacing around the living room with her cell phone in her hand. Xiao Zheng's call came in, and she answered the call quickly, but she heard a heavy panting voice from the other side: "Mrs... madam! I, I Teacher Xiao was not stopped! He took a taxi and left!"

"What's going on?" Liang Qing stared in surprise, "You can't even stop Xiao Peng?!"

Xiao Zheng was also very depressed, he couldn't believe this fact!This teacher Xiao actually looks refined and elegant, no matter how he beats him, it's like playing with him!I just put his shoulders on his shoulders, and he fell over my shoulders by his neck, and he was stunned on the ground for a long time. When he got up, he had already taken a taxi and left without even having time to see the license plate number. One glance!

Liang Qing gave a rough "fuck" and dialed Li Shuhe's phone.

Xiao Peng took a taxi all the way to the high-speed railway station. The latest bus back to Lincheng would leave in half an hour. He bought the ticket and quickly left there to hide. Afterwards, he watched with his own eyes the people sent by Liang Qing looking for him everywhere. .Xiao Peng quickly walked out of the high-speed rail station among the crowd leaving the station, took a taxi to the train station, bought a ticket to return to Lincheng, and finally took the ticket and sat in the black car at the gate of the train station, looking at the popularity of him. Panting after him.

Sure enough, Liang Qing came after him with his identity information, and now he can't take the transportation with his ID card, otherwise he would be taken back by them before he even got in the car.

Xiao Peng rented this black car for 700 yuan and asked the driver to drive all the way from Shanghai back to Lincheng. He paid a deposit of [-] yuan first, and agreed that if he arrived on time without delay along the way, he would add another [-] yuan. Pay the balance.

The driver had never seen such a generous shot, so he was quite conscientious, and he kicked the accelerator and blasted towards the highway intersection.

The car radio was quiet, and in the car, only the driver's whistle was blowing cheerful ditties.

Xiao Peng leaned against the car window, staring blankly at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window. He wasn't thinking about anything, and he didn't know what to think about. He didn't understand why things became like this, how did they become like this...

There was a gentle singing voice from the phone, it was the song Li Shuhe sang while playing the guitar in the apartment, Xiong Weining processed it and sent it to Xiao Peng for appreciation, and he used it as Li Shuhe's exclusive ringtone.

The three characters that danced on the screen were the ones Xiao Peng was most familiar with. He had seen, shouted, heard, and cherished them in his heart.But now, the unfamiliarity of these three words made him flustered, making him feel like he never knew these words.

The call is connected.

The tone of the person on the other end was concerned and gentle: "Mr. Xiao, I know you are very angry, but I am worried about where you are. Tell me and let me rest assured, okay?"

Xiao Peng didn't intend to hide it, he just wanted to ask clearly when he went back: "The car I chartered has already got on the expressway, and I will arrive in Lincheng in about six hours, and I will go directly to Jiuxiyuan. I have something to say, and I want to hear it from you. tell me."

"Okay!" Li Shuhe agreed, "I'll wait for you at home."

"No need." Xiao Peng said softly, "Pack up my things and see you downstairs in the community."

There is a smile in Li Shuhe's voice, but behind the smile is the panic that cannot be hidden: "Mr. Xiao, don't be like this, it will be dark in six hours, how can I let you go outside alone at this late hour?" .”

Xiao Peng, who was physically and mentally exhausted, didn't have the energy to argue with him in the air, so he just said lightly: "Let's talk." Then he cut off the phone, and continued to look out the window with blank eyes.
