After wearing the spare tire, I was with Bai Yueguang

The bright red flowers reflected Yan Guiqiu's cheeks were also slightly red.

She took the flowers, remembering that when we first met, she always gave Jiang Xuehe flowers habitually, but after we got together, there were fewer flowers, probably because we stayed together most of the time, and all we paid attention to was the other party. The little decoration around it was inadvertently ignored.

But occasionally there are some small surprises like this, which still make people feel happy.

"Let's stay tonight." Yan Guiqiu blurted out, and then added a few words with some embarrassment when he came back to his senses, "It's too late now, it's tiring and not safe to go back."

Jiang Xuehe smiled and said yes, but she still remembered that there was someone standing not far away: "But first say hello to your friend."

Yan Guiqiu finally came to his senses at this moment, turned his head to see that Qi Mo was about to shrink into the shadow of the tree, and quickly stretched out his hand to beckon him to come over.

"This is Qi Mo." Yan Guiqiu introduced Jiang Xuehe, "Huo Lian's younger brother is also my younger brother."

Jiang Xuehe shook hands with Qi Mo: "Hello."

The two sides got to know each other for a while, and the atmosphere was quite friendly. Qi Mo stayed in another hotel not far away, and hurried back after saying hello and goodbye.

When the two went upstairs, Jiang Xuehe asked about him again.

She had heard of Huo Lian. After Meng Xinglan's accident, he was the sole agent of the company's affairs. After Meng Xinglan was discharged from the hospital and returned to the company, he was still the vice president with decision-making power second only to her, but outsiders were still used to it. Call him Mr. Huo.

No one can tell clearly about the past between Mr. Huo and Mr. Meng. They only know that they have a strong relationship. It is not an exaggeration to say that Huo Lian is Meng Xinglan's most trusted person in the company.

But if she remembers correctly, Huo Lian was already in his thirties when he represented Xinglan, and it has been at least six or seven years since then, and he is almost in his forties. Qi Mo looks like he could be his son.

"They are indeed brothers. Brother Huo's mother used to be from the Huo family. There was either a big case in Xicheng more than ten years ago, or Brother Huo reported it." Yan Guiqiu explained to Jiang Xuehe in a low voice.

Jiang Xuehe immediately realized which company she was talking about.

But she didn't remember any intersection between the Huo family and the Meng family or the Yan family.

The families on both sides are far apart, and there is almost no chance of meeting each other.

The Huo family was also a very prosperous family back then, not much worse than the Meng family back then.

But with regard to the Huo family, the most famous one is the major criminal case in which Miss Huo was crazy about love and brought disaster to the whole family.

Miss Huo conceived before she was married, and only after giving birth did she say that her biological father was a gangster.

At that time, some parts of the country were still in chaos, and this kind of person was almost like a local emperor. When Miss Huo was traveling, she was saved by a man from a certain family, and she fell in love with him wholeheartedly ever since.

But the Huo family is a decent family, and they hate those who violate the law and discipline. They feel that their daughter has gone on an evil path, but they can't ignore it.

I don't know if Miss Huo is crazy about love, or the Huo family overreacted.

After Miss Huo ran away from home for the third time and was arrested, the Huo family even sent her to a mental hospital, and hired someone to keep watch over them 24 hours a day, strictly prohibiting her from sneaking out to find that man.

As for the child, she didn't ask her to meet again, but took her away and raised her with her siblings and elders.

That child is Huo Lian.

After several years of making such a fuss, it gradually died down.

The Huo family probably also felt guilty. Seeing that Miss Huo didn't make trouble anymore, they relaxed their vigilance and took her home to recuperate. At that time, her first son was almost an adult.

However, Miss Huo was restless for a long time when she returned home, and when her family allowed her to go out for a walk, she ran away again.

Naturally, I still went to find that man back then.

The Huo family was angry, but they also felt that after so many years, they probably couldn't find it.

Unexpectedly, after looking for someone for several months, Miss Huo came back with a big belly, and directly pissed off the old lady of the Huo family. She went to the emergency department of the hospital that day, but she couldn't be rescued in the end.

However, Miss Huo was already a month old at that time, and she was an advanced mother. Aborting the child by force would be life-threatening. The Huo family didn't want to hold two funerals in a few days, so they had to hold their noses to admit it.

This forbearance brought disaster to the Huo family.

The decline of other families is mostly due to the struggle for power and profit, fighting openly and secretly until the last party loses, goes bankrupt and ends up in debt. As long as the mentality is strong enough, they can survive no matter what.

Later, the Huo family gradually went downhill due to problems with its business philosophy, but before it got up or down, it was slaughtered all over the family.

Miss Huo's lover heard that she had given birth to two children for him, and because his wife was barren, he wanted to come to ask for them to go back and raise them.

The eldest son was too old to raise well, so the younger one was the only one.

However, even if it is a small one, it still has the blood of the Huo family after all, and the Huo family would not hand it over no matter what.

After going back and forth like this for several years, the lover even took guys to block the door outside several times, which caused the neighbors to point fingers at the Huo family, and many people avoided him in the business field because of these rumors.

Huo Lian was in college at the time, and when he came back, he heard about these things, and went to investigate privately, and found out that his biological father was actually a criminal.

At that time, he was still young and full of enthusiasm. He collected a lot of evidence and went directly to the police.

However, the result was that he was released again after being locked up for a few days. When he came to the door, he became more serious and brought a knife. The Huo family had no choice but to discuss moving.

When his lover came next time, the Huo family went to the building, which annoyed him even more.

It took a while to follow him to the new house. In the middle of the night, he coaxed Miss Huo into saying that he would take him to elope.

Miss Huo was unprepared, and happily opened the door for him, but what met him was a knife from her lover.

In one night, the Huo family was massacred from top to bottom, even the part-time workers who were only responsible for cleaning the house were not spared.

The entire Huo family was also looted.

When the police arrived, only Miss Huo at the door was left in the whole house.

However, due to the long delay, he passed away as soon as he was sent to the hospital.

Huo Lian said at the time that he had returned to school early, but in fact he was not convinced by the results of the last report to the police, so he simply went to his biological father's lair to go undercover for a period of time and obtained some stronger evidence, but when he went to call the police again, Only then did I realize that all the family members had been killed.

In addition to his life being saved because he was not at home, his young brother was also secretly sent away by Mr. Huo ahead of time.

Such a big case caused a sensation all over the country. Once the lover was caught, he would definitely be sentenced to death. However, he had already transferred his property and prepared to flee abroad.

The police failed to catch him, but Huo Lian kept his temper and continued to undercover in the wolf's den. When he heard that the murderer came back to take the treasures he collected and was about to run away, he secretly called the police, and finally jumped out to hold him back at the risk. them.

In the end, the murderer was caught, a group of criminal dens were also destroyed, and the gangsters who had been in the local area for many years were caught in one pot, which can be regarded as a successful curtain.

However, little is known about the aftermath—the lives of the only two survivors of the Huo family were completely destroyed as a result.

Huo Lian was commended for reporting meritorious service. However, his biological father was a murderer, and his biological mother was a lunatic who killed the whole family. Everyone who knew him avoided him. Vegetable leaves were smashed.

His younger brother was not much better either. For the same reason, he was rejected by relatives who temporarily adopted him for the same reason. On a cold winter night, he threw the two or three-year-old child at the door of Huo Lian's residence, and ignored him. turned around and left.

If it wasn't for his younger brother, Huo Lian's life might have ended here.

He has always felt deep guilt and self-blame for the death of his family members, and the pressure on the original deep pain made him feel that life is hopeless and he does not deserve to live.

However, if even he doesn't care about his younger brother, then his younger brother may not live long.

Even if you barely survive, you must suffer a lot.

In the end, Huo Lian took his younger brother and left the original city for Ningcheng.

He wanted to start again, but the shadow of the past lingered, because he dropped out of school, he only had a high school diploma, and the inheritance left by the Huo family was stained with their blood. Every time he dreamed back, he would be awakened by nightmares and dared not use it I can only work hard to raise my younger brother.

As a result, the younger brother followed suit, never reaching out for things, even when he was sick, he dared not tell his elder brother.

One day when he received a call from the hospital, he realized that his younger brother had fallen into the river because of a fever and hit a stone at the bottom of the river. His head was bleeding and he was unconscious.

As soon as he heard that his hands and feet were cold, he rushed to the hospital immediately, thinking wildly along the way, only thinking that his brother was dying, and when he arrived at the hospital, he found that his face was covered with tears and snot.

But when he arrived, it was the doctor who came out of the emergency room and said that the child was out of danger.

Then he noticed a mother and daughter standing at the door of the emergency room.

The two of them passed by the park on their way home after shopping in the supermarket. The girl accidentally noticed bloodstains floating on the surface of the river, and then saw a figure struggling in the water, so she called her mother for an emergency call.

Because the rescue was timely, the younger brother was fine.

The young mother paid for their medical expenses in advance. Seeing that he had calmed down and talked well, she chatted curiously. Hearing that he dropped out of school halfway to work in various places, she thought he had to do it because of his poor life, and offered to support the two brothers. Continue to study.

This is the opportunity for the Huo family brothers to meet Ms. Meng and Yan Guiqiu.

Ms. Meng has also heard about the Huo family, but she didn't have a close relationship with Huo Lian in the past. name?

After his younger brother Qi Mo was discharged from the hospital, Ms. Meng brought up the topic of subsidizing their schooling again, and Huo Lian took the initiative to confess.

Ms. Meng was indeed a little surprised. She was a little hesitant at first, but in the end she insisted on her original idea. She not only subsidized Huo Lian to continue her education, but later saw that he was talented and brought him into the company. Although it was just a small matter at the grassroots level at first , but at any rate it can be regarded as a decent job.

Later, there were some rumors about him in the company. It was Ms. Meng who resisted all opinions and insisted on keeping him. She also promoted him because of his performance. press down.

People of the generation like Yan Guiqiu and Jiang Xuehe, unless they are closely related, hardly know the existence of the Huo family when they grow up.

Jiang Xuehe was able to remember because a relative of the Jiang family once married into the Huo family, but it was only a distant relative of the exterminated family. After returning, he read to them several times in fear, saying that luckily he didn't come to visit at that time.

Today, those tragic experiences may still give Huo Lian some prestige-killing relatives righteously, going undercover alone, taking risks with one's own body, reporting meritorious deeds...just picking one out will make people sigh that they are really awesome.

But at that time, the news was relatively closed, and some places were relatively feudal and traditional, and there were prejudices against people related to criminals, and the mentality of conformity prevented some sympathetic people from taking the lead.

Not to mention comforting the boy who lost all his relatives in one night, there were quite a few people throwing dirty things at his door, and no one ever stood up to stop him.

The son of a murderer should naturally be born with bad seeds.

It is conceivable how much pressure Huo Lian endured back then, and thinking about it in reverse, he can also understand how much kindness Ms. Meng's support was to him at that time.

After that, no matter how heartily he repays Ms. Meng, it is not an exaggeration.

As for Qi Mo, he happened to be a classmate with Yan Guiqiu for a few years, and became her "follower".

Of course, this is just a joke. When Yan Guiqiu was in Xinglan, Qi Mo was still young and couldn't help much. After accumulating some contacts, Yan Guiqiu patted his ass and ran away.

As for Yan Guizhou, Qi Mo was somewhat inferior, and he had no intention of helping her. Naturally, he did not join Xinglan or Yan's company, but usually he would pay more or less attention to Yan's and Xinglan's affairs. thing.

It's her business whether Yan Guiqiu asks or not, but he can't wait until she remembers to ask.

"In fact, he doesn't like these things very much, but he may feel sorry and has always wanted to help me." Yan Guiqiu said, "So I asked him to keep an eye on me when he was free."

But there is no need to report to her specifically.

Firstly, if something unexpected happens, Qi Mo will naturally tell her.

The second is to find something for Qi Mo to do, but not to tie his whole life to this kindness.

At that time, Yan Guiqiu had already run away, and Qi Mo didn't persuade her to come back, and didn't even say a word of pity or incomprehension, but he didn't take her words seriously, and kept paying attention to her in private, and Very cleverly, he deliberately made a clear relationship with both of them, so as not to cause trouble for Yan Guiqiu when he needed it in the future.

If it was in the previous life, Yan Guiqiu would definitely train him well—whether he likes it or not, he must be a very useful talent.

But in this life there is no such need.

Ming Huan had to take advantage of others, but Yan Guiqiu hated using kindness to coerce others.

"This is called heart-for-heart exchange." Jiang Xuehe came up with such an idea after hearing the past, "This is not something that can be done with courage alone, and you also deserve their sincerity in return."

Ask yourself, even if she is in Ms. Meng's position, she is unlikely to reuse Huo Lian.

Compared with those involved in the homicide case, Jiang Xuyu's sexuality problem is not a problem at all, and there is still room for struggle on either side.

But for the descendants of murderers, the most critical problem is not even the rumors, but the obstacles that naturally exist in the hearts of the superiors who employ people.

Businessmen who can work hard for their next career are seldom good people with pure thoughts and good intentions. Ms. Meng's job is rare for decades.

Even looking at it now, the original decision definitely did more harm than good.

This is because Huo Lian is really capable and he knows how to repay his kindness, which is why Ms. Meng has picked up a talent.

Not only has the ability to stabilize the company, but more importantly, it can be used with confidence.

Compared with pure ability, the latter is more rare.

However, it was precisely because of the initial goodwill that we had such good luck.

"Maybe." Yan Guiqiu was noncommittal.

"So, you're looking for Qi Mo because of Xinglan?" Jiang Xuehe asked.

"Yes. I haven't seen you for a long time. Last time I said I would invite him to dinner, but I never had a chance." Yan Guiqiu glanced at Jiang Xuehe and couldn't help laughing, "I thought you wouldn't ask about him."

Jiang Xuehe has always acted very sensible, and it is rare to ask questions like this.

Looks like a little jealous.

But it is undeniable that thinking of this possibility, Yan Guiqiu felt a little happy.

"Sometimes I feel very strongly that there are many things about you that I don't know." Jiang Xuehe said, "Of course I want to know about you."

They stopped at the door, and Yan Guiqiu took out the key to open the door, but failed to match the keyhole for a while.

She was holding things in her hands, which was not convenient.

Jiang Xuehe took the key in her hand, opened the door with a "click", and returned the key to Yan Guiqiu, and waited for her to go in first.

Yan Guiqiu regained his senses from the daze, saw the dim light in the unlit room, looked up and found that it was coming in from the balcony window.

The light and shadow were dim and soft, and the tree shadows extending to the floor swayed gently with the breeze outside.

At this moment, Jiang Xuehe was standing behind her, and she could pull her back as soon as she turned her head, telling her to look at the tiny discovery on the floor.

But Yan Guiqiu's eyes only stayed for a moment, he couldn't help laughing, and said in a low voice: "There will be a long, long time to understand slowly."

She turned on the light at the entrance and invited Jiang Xuehe in.

After turning on the light, the shadows of the trees on the ground disappeared, but Yan Guiqiu didn't care too much. She went around the living room and couldn't find an empty vase, so she simply opened two bottles of mineral water, poured out half of the water, and poured it out. The few flower branches are embedded in it.

"Let's go buy a vase tomorrow." Yan Guiqiu said.

Jiang Xuehe helped tear off the label on the bottle, looked around in several directions, and said, "It's pretty good too."

So Yan Guiqiu immediately changed his mind: "Then I won't change it for the time being."

Jiang Xuehe laughed beside him.

Yan Guiqiu turned back and opened the refrigerator to see what vegetables were left in it, and asked: "Sister Xuehe hasn't eaten dinner yet, can I order some noodles?"

"I ate a little on the plane." Jiang Xuehe said, "Let's eat less, I'm not too hungry."

It's not too late now, if you don't eat at all, you will probably wake up hungry at night.

Yan Guiqiu nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen to start a fire.

Dinner doesn't have to be too heavy, a bowl of green vegetable noodles and a poached egg doesn't take long.

Yan Guiqiu had just had dinner, so naturally he could only sit opposite and watch Jiang Xuehe eat.

Holding the bowl through the dense heat, Jiang Xuehe couldn't help laughing when he saw Yan Guiqiu's eager eyes: "Shall I have a bite?"

Yan Guiqiu shook his head, and said with some regret: "I can't eat anymore."

Jiang Xuehe didn't force her, and talked about the matter of the Yan family. The approximate time and venue have been preliminarily determined. It will be held in Yunhua City at the end of June. If you don't have time, go to the other party's city.

Oral notification is about one month in advance, and formal invitations are sent half a month in advance. Those who are closer will naturally be delivered in person, and the rest will be sent electronically.

As for the guests, the close relatives of the two families should naturally be present as much as possible, and the rest are some friends, classmates, and colleagues, and they decide who to invite.

Father Yan should come down to make arrangements for the Yan family, only the Jiang family still has a little problem, but with the old man in charge, it should all be resolved smoothly in the end.

Yan Guiqiu picked up her fingers and counted the friends around her. Apart from the ones Jiang Xuehe had seen, there were many whose names she had never even heard of.

Jiang Xuehe frowned slightly when he heard this, but he only kept it in his mind for the time being, and did not ask further.

Anyway, it's a long time coming to Japan.

"...Maybe that's all, and my college roommate, it depends on whether she is free at that time. There is no problem with these, but it is best to ensure that they can spare time at that time."

Yan Guiqiu thought about it, and felt that the biggest problem was Xinglan.

If there is another accident, even if the mother and sister barely spare time, it will be difficult to maintain a good mood.

The Zhao family didn't seem to understand how to write the words "accept as soon as you see it".

Jiang Xuehe happened to be talking about the geese returning to the boat.

"She seems to be working hard these past few days. It's almost twelve o'clock when she gets home at night, and she didn't see her when she got up in the morning. But she still remembers your business and told me that when I choose a hotel, I don't want to choose a location away from the city center." Too close, it seems that the hardware and service are not very good..."

Yan Guiqiu nodded, agreeing to this statement.

"I wanted to call her later." Yan Guiqiu said, looking at her phone. The message she sent in the afternoon, Yan Guizhou hasn't replied yet, obviously still busy, "Let's talk about it after she finishes her work." .”

Yan Guizhou didn't reply until Jiang Xuehe went to wash up, asking what happened to his sister.

Yan Guiqiu went to the balcony to call her.

The call was quickly connected, and Yan Guizhou's voice was obviously exhausted. She thought her sister was in a hurry, so she braced herself and asked her, "Is something wrong?"

Yan Guiqiu looked at the swaying treetops outside the window, and said directly, "I know about Xinglan. I recruited the Zhao family's affairs at the beginning. Tomorrow, find someone you trust to talk to me. Don't go outside. Speak up, I'll take care of this."

The branches and leaves were rustling by the wind, and the other side of the phone was silent but only the sound of breathing. Yan Guizhou was stunned for a while, and then asked softly: "Have you changed your mind?"

"No." Yan Guiqiu paused and said, "But you are my only sister, and you have been bullied. If I don't help you out, who else will come?"

As she said that, she added another sentence in a disguised way: "And I'm about to get engaged, it would be unlucky to ask those guys to jump out. I don't allow anyone to have the opportunity to spoil the major events of my life!"
