"Is it time for you to let go of me?"
Ever since the world of black and white came out, He Tianran had been holding Cao Aiqing's hand and never let go. Perhaps the feeling of despair and helplessness was so profound that the man didn't even realize the problem. It wasn't until the girl coldly reminded him that he react to.
"Ah...um..."
He Tianran put down his hand. Although this move was equivalent to a life-saving move for him, in the eyes of others, this was undoubtedly an intimate move between a man and a woman.
The relationship between the two and the situation have developed to this point. For such a scene that requires holding hands, people really don’t know what kind of identity and adjectives can be used to summarize it...
Exes who are stuck with each other? The only bond born out of falling in love and killing each other? Redeemer and redeemed? Being each other's ferrymen between hell and heaven?
All kinds of descriptions of secondary students burst out in He Tianran's mind for a long time, but in the end he couldn't find the words suitable to express them. However, in order to alleviate this slightly embarrassing atmosphere, He Tianran took the initiative to find a topic:
"Um...Ai Qing, why don't you go see my father? He will be at home these two days on the weekend. He Yuanchong did this to you. Although he came for me, in the end you became If you become a victim, our family must have an explanation for you, not to mention me..."
"You too what?"
The man suddenly found it difficult to speak, which prompted Cao Aiqing to ask questions at the right time.
He Tianran glanced back at the silent street behind him, and then said seriously:
"Besides, I also want to know what attitude my dad will take after my brother does something like this, because in the previous timelines, I was the mastermind, which may have led to a complete falling out between me and my dad. Reason, but in the end I forgot about this memory, which means that I have fulfilled my long-cherished wish once, so I am very curious about what happened after the Internet violence..."
"You finally started to care about your own affairs."
Cao Aiqing couldn't help but point out, and He Tianran scratched his head in embarrassment.
In fact, the girl was also very curious about this matter. Even if He Tianran had a falling out with his family because He Yuanchong had set up a trap for her, but He Panshan should not have broken off the relationship immediately. There should be a process for several years in between, not to mention...
Under such circumstances, how did he fulfill his long-cherished wish in the previous timeline?
Thinking of this, Cao Aiqing asked: "You haven't told me yet what your father did to your brother this time. It seems that He Yuanchong has not been seen in recent times."
He Tianran walked a few steps forward, then waved to the girl and said smoothly:
"Come on, I'll take you to my house and I'll talk to you in the car."
…
…
"He Yuanchong just submitted an application for suspension of study to the school these two days. The period is one year. He has been banned from home for these two days."
The BMW car shuttled between the tall buildings. He Tianran made an understatement. Cao Aiqing looked away from the window. She was not worried about whether the matter was handled too lightly, but asked:
"What does this mean?"
He Tianran drove the car, turned to look at the girl, and then continued to look straight ahead.
"This means that as long as I am willing, I will graduate a year early and join my dad's company. This signal is actually quite obvious."
Cao Aiqing sneered and said: "Has this appointed the crown prince and started letting you assist the government? Then this is indeed quite obvious."
"Haha, that's a bit exaggerated. My dad is only fifty years old. If I really want to take over this business, I will have to wait at least twenty years."
"He Tianran, does this matter of mine help you indirectly?"
"……Calculate."
"Then what does this have to do with me?"
He Tianran paused for a moment and then said slowly: "When you meet my father, you can ask him for any compensation you need. If it's difficult for you to mention it, you can tell me in advance and I will help you."
Cao Aiqing was silent for a moment after hearing this.
"The duration of study in the Department of Architecture is five years. I don't want to see He Yuanchong before I graduate."
He Tianran never expected that the next time He Yuanchong returned to Hong Kong University, both of them would be seniors. By the time his brother graduated, it would already be two years. If he had to wait until Cao Aiqing graduated in his fifth year, it would be three years. It's over.
Three years is neither long nor short, but it is enough for some things to settle.
At the moment, even He Tianran is not sure whether He Panshan will agree to Cao Aiqing's request. After all, there is a stepmother Tao Wei in the middle. It is very difficult for his son to stay at home without going to school for three years. Just imagine...
However, He Tianran did not let Cao Aiqing down at this moment. He asked again: "Only this? What about material compensation? Although the court sentenced Sun Qianzhi to compensate you for mental damages, my father wants to see you. I I think the main thing is to talk to you about this."
Cao Aiqing didn't hesitate at all about this, she said:
"It would be easier to make up for it with money. How much money did your family give Sun Qianzhi to accuse him of committing the crime? Then I will ask for ten times as much!"
He Tianran was stunned for a moment after hearing such decisive words, and then said:
"Although I don't know how much money my father gave Sun Kunzhi to buy his future as a top student, but if you multiply this number by ten, it is conceivable that it will not be a small sum. Ai Qing, what my father gave you The compensation will definitely be much more than that of Sun Kunzhi, but it may not necessarily reach ten times. If you talk to him like this, it will be like pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth."
"Your father won't be able to afford it."
He Tianran shook his head: "This is not a question of whether I can afford it. For example, a very simple account. If my father gave Sun Qianzhi three million, ten times it would be 30 million, even if it is 10 million, This is also a figure that ordinary people may not be able to earn in their lifetime. Let’s not talk about how this money is given to you and how it is given to you. He is first of all a shrewd businessman. Once you exceed a certain range..."
Cao Aiqing took over his words and said:
"I know that talking about money with rich people like you is the most troublesome. Now He Yuanchong's scapegoat has been found. Once I, the lion, open my mouth and exceed your father's bottom line, it will continue to affect the image of your company. Risk, your Shanhai Group's legal department is very famous. If you sue me, not only will I not be able to get the money, but even an ordinary person can drag me to death."
"Then why are you still..."
"It's up to you to figure it out."
"I……?"
"Yes, of course you will keep me safe. How did you get me here today? You will send me back the same way. Since you have called me Bodhisattva, you must know that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. ."
Cao Aiqing had so much free time that he even had the guts to make a joke. He dumped the most difficult matter on He Tianran's head with just one sentence. The man was speechless for a moment.
Whether the girl wants to be so tough to talk to He Panshan is still unclear, but He Tianran still admires Cao Aiqing's mentality. He looks gentle and quiet, but he doesn't act sloppily at all, which may be beneficial. Regarding her future entrepreneurial experience?
Thinking of this, He Tianran couldn't help but have a smile on his lips, recalling some past events from his childhood.
Cao Aiqing saw him laughing secretly and asked curiously: "Why are you laughing?"
He Tianran shook his head: "I remembered something my dad said to me before. When I was a child, he always gave me some advice not to start a business."
"Don't start a business? Why?"
"He said that he had no way to start a business at the beginning. After my father died, he didn't have much money left in his family, so he tried his best to hold on to this three-acre land. But, time has changed in my generation. , As long as a rich second generation like me doesn’t start a business, doesn’t mess around, or is even a little lazy, then the He family will have a rich third and fourth generation..."
"puff……"
This absurd but seemingly reasonable statement made Cao Aiqing laugh out loud...
"It seems that the harder your brother works, the more counterproductive it is. According to this statement, your father still likes you more."
"Well, who knows...my dad is...hard to say."
He Tianran pressed down the closed car window, and the golden autumn wind outside the window filtered in, making him feel cool and comfortable.
…
…
The two arrived at the first place in Nanshan. This should be the first time that Cao Aiqing actually visited He Tianran's home. It only took a few seconds for the girl to adapt to the splendor of this villa.
"I remember that when the dean of our department was teaching us, he told us about the design ideas for your mansion. This was one of the projects he took on after returning to China. Although it was not the first, it was still of great significance, because at the time it seemed Your grandfather acquired a piece of land to develop a central park. Our dean was one of the people participating in the planning and design team at that time. However, later the development focus of the port city changed and the project did not finally come to fruition. But then you Grandpa still invited him to design the villa area in this area of Nanshan."
He Tianran was surprised when Cao Aiqing told this history. He couldn't help but said:
"It turns out that we still have this kind of connection."
"Old Huang Li, our dean has many disciples. If you talk about this kind of thing, it can't be considered a source of origin."
He Tianran parked the car. Before coming, he specially sent a message to He Panshan, saying that he was bringing Cao Aiqing home. He Panshan quickly replied with a message and came directly to the garden after arriving. Just a four-sided pavilion.
The two of them walked in a winding way, and when they arrived at the pavilion, they saw three people waiting in the pavilion from a distance, He Panshan, Tao Wei, and He Yuanchong, who had been missing recently.
He Tianran whispered to Cao Aiqing:
"Don't be so... forceful with me later. He Yuanchong still doesn't know that it was you who informed me of the letter at the hotel."
"knew."
The girl answered softly.
When the two came, He Panshan was feeding the fish with his back turned. He Yuanchong stood aside, not daring to sit down or approach his father. His face had long lost the sinister aura of the past, and he looked sick. Tao Wei, who was sitting beside him, stood up when he saw the two people coming, walked out of the pavilion, and greeted with rare enthusiasm:
"Natural is back? This must be Xiao Cao, right?"
She grabbed He Tianran's hand and babbled a few words warmly. She was also full of praise and said to Cao Aiqing:
"Xiao Cao, I often hear Xiao He talking about you at home, and I finally met her today. I didn't expect that the little girl is so beautiful now. You should have come to our house as a guest as soon as possible."
Since his son's evil deeds were exposed, He Tianran understood Tao Wei's enthusiasm at this time. At least it was an elder who lowered his face and did this. Cao Aiqing was about to say something when he heard a "pop"... …
He Panshan in the pavilion heavily put down the white porcelain bowl filled with fish food and bait in his hand. This movement not only stunned the three people outside the pavilion, but He Yuanchong who was closest to him also trembled.
"What a loving mother but a loser. Please understand, others are not here to be guests! Others are here to ask questions!"
Her husband's straightforwardness and lack of help made Tao Wei's face suddenly dull, but even so, she still forced a smile and said to Cao Aiqing:
"Yes, yes, Xiao Cao, I'm really sorry that something like this happened. I'll apologize to you first with Yuan Chong..."
After saying that, she took a step back and was about to bow, but He Tianran and Cao Aiqing quickly stopped her.
"Don't be like this, aunt, I..."
"Aunt Tao, I brought Ai Qing here just to resolve this matter. Don't worry. If you have anything to say, we can sit down and discuss it."
He Tianran interrupted Cao Aiqing's words in time. He didn't know if Cao Aiqing was cruel to others besides being cruel to herself. Anyway, it was best to put away her overflowing kindness now. As a mother, Tao Wei , although it is reasonable to apologize for your son, but if your back is really bent towards the two of you, then the rest of the matter will not be so easy to talk about...
"Xiao Tianran..."
Tao Wei cast a pleading look at He Tianran, and He Tianran nodded.
"I know Aunt Tao, let's go in first."
If He Yuanchong simply wanted to frame Cao Aiqing, Tao Wei might not be so humble, but now that he was using Cao Aiqing to deal with his brother, the nature was completely different.
The three of them entered the pavilion. He Panshan glanced at He Yuanchong, and the latter shrank back in fright. He immediately bent down and said with a cry:
"Classmate Cao Aiqing, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have stirred up trouble and spread rumors to cause trouble. All of this is just my fault. I'm really sorry! Please forgive me!"
He was probably scolded by He Panshan before he came here. The boy apologized so loudly that the carp in the pond dispersed in fright.
He Yuanchong just bowed like that and did not get up. Cao Aiqing seemed to be frightened and did not dare to speak. He backed away from He Tianran. He Panshan sat down and watched this scene in his eyes.
"Tao Wei, take your son down first and wait. Of course, Xiao Cao, you guys sit down first."
He Panshan gave instructions, and Tao Wei, who was on the side, pulled He Yuanchong, who was already crying, and walked out of the pavilion while scolding.
After a while, everyone sat down, and He Panshan calmed down and said apologetically:
"Xiao Cao, I'm sorry to make you laugh, because my two incompetent sons have caused you to suffer. I think I have already told you the specific situation. My uncle wants to tell you. I'm sorry to compensate for the loss of your reputation. If you can't make up your mind, you can call your parents over here, and we adults can discuss it together."
He Tianran and Cao Aiqing looked at each other. The man's eyes indicated to her that she could talk about what they had communicated in the car before. The girl suddenly seemed to become a little weak. She paused and said in a low voice, Qiqi Ai Ai said:
"Uncle...I...I have discussed it with Ziran before I came here. You can ask him..."
"..."
"..."
Wow, He Tianran's scalp suddenly exploded, and he kept cursing in his heart.
Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, when I wanted to see Ai Qing, you wouldn't let me see her. Now that we need you to support the scene, you let her go. Is this appropriate? ! !
