Two months later.
The 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month.
There was a light snowfall last night, and after a morning it had completely melted away, leaving only the sound of dripping water on the walls and eaves telling the Nanjing people old stories.
"Brother, why are you taking me to the airport?"
In 1997, Lukou Airport had not yet been put into operation. Only the military-civilian Daxiao Airport was responsible for air transportation tasks. Because it was located in Qinhuai District, Qiao Sanli didn't realize where this place was until the Audi stopped on the roadside.
Lin Yue got off the car, took her to the airport reception hall, and said casually: "Wang Yiding is back."
The three words "Wang Yiding" were like a cold wind, frowning Qiao Sanli's eyebrows.
"Brother, I know what you mean, but... but can you please stop doing this kind of thing."
Qiao Sanli was anxious, annoyed, and a little bit sad.
Qiao Yicheng now has a wife. What does it mean to bring her here to pick up Wang Yiding today? Even a fool can figure it out.
"Wang Yiding has not been home to celebrate the New Year for two years, so he should come and pick him up due to both emotion and reason."
What could he say? Now in the airport lobby, if Qiao Sanli is angered by harsh words, she really doesn't know what to do with this sister who can't hit or scold her, and she still has a bit of a sense of indebtedness.
"Sanli, you are 27 this year..."
"Brother, if you say such things again, I will leave immediately."
"Okay, okay, don't say it, just don't say it."
There is only one word to describe his mood now, and that is "crazy". He can finally see that the children of the Qiao family are trying to compete with each other, not to mention that they will not turn around until they hit the wall. Don't look back at the wall. As long as you don't get knocked unconscious by the wall, you will fight to the end.
Qiao Erqiang didn't even go back to Ma Suqin's house; Qiao Simei was not treated well at Qi's house, but she refused to give in. Of course, with cousin Weimin here, she could still live a good life; to Qiao San Here in Li, she was still determined not to get married. Half a year ago, Aunt Zeng from next door came to her to talk to her as a matchmaker, but kicked her out after just a few words.
"well!"
"What's wrong, Xiao Qiao, I heard you sighing as soon as I got off the plane. It shouldn't be the case. We are newlyweds and they are inseparable."
He looked up suddenly and found He Jiangsheng walking out with a briefcase and greeting him with a smile.
"Uncle He, are you making fun of me?"
"I was at sea on New Year's Day and couldn't attend your wedding. I'm sorry."
From the embarrassment flashing in He Jiangsheng's eyes, it can be seen that these words were somewhat insincere, and he was just pretending to be relaxed.
Lin Yue thought to himself that even if you were not at sea, you probably wouldn't come to the wedding. Originally, the bride's title should have been Wen Ju'an, but everything was ruined because of Wen Xue's existence. Under such circumstances, what emotions should he bring to attend the wedding?
"Uncle He... no need..."
However, he couldn't continue speaking halfway because of a person walking out of the station.
That's right, it's Wang Yiding.
But the crux of the matter is that he did not come out alone. He was accompanied by a foreign girl with yellow hair and white skin, and the two of them held hands together.
? ? ? ? ? ?
"..."
Lin Yue turned to look at Qiao Sanli.
It was obvious that she couldn't accept the scene in front of her, but after a few breaths she laughed, very happily, very easily, and very proudly, and she was smiling while looking at him.
He Jiangsheng looked confused: "Xiao Qiao, what's wrong with her?"
"Brother? Sanli?"
Before Lin Yue could answer the above question, Wang Yiding noticed the presence of the three people and came over with the foreign girl.
"Wang Yiding, you and her..."
Lin Yue was speechless.
Wang Yiding glanced at Qiao Sanli. He didn't expect that she would come to pick her up at the airport. She looked a little embarrassed, but he still told the truth: "Brother, Sanli, this is the girlfriend I... I made... in Ukraine. Yenika.”
He felt that Qiao Yicheng helped him win the opportunity to study in Ukraine because of Qiao Sanli, and Aiwujiwu would help him like this. But now that he has fallen in love with another girl, he described it as "breaking Qiao Yicheng's trust" Not too much at all.
"..." Lin Yue had nothing to say about this.
He asked Wang Yiding to go to Ukraine for further study, and he stayed there for four years. Faced with Qiao Sanli's repeated rejections, he still hoped that Wang Yiding would be obsessed with her and not marry her, which was unrealistic. Originally, foreign girls were more enthusiastic and proactive than Chinese girls. Now that the economic situation in Ukraine is very bad, it is reasonable for local girls to choose to pursue Wang Yiding in order to live a life without worries about food and clothing.
This guy himself is a boring gourd, an honest man, it would be strange not to surrender when he encounters a passionate and passionate guy.
After coming out of the airport, Lin Yue first sent He Jiangsheng to the hotel to rest, and then sent Wang Yiding and Yenica home. On the way to Shamao Lane, his face was as tense as a piece of iron.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
She had been laughing since the two people got off the car, and she was already laughing halfway through.
Lin Yue glanced at the woman's face in the rearview mirror and said bitterly: "Why are you laughing? If you laugh again, you will be making dumplings alone tomorrow."
"Brother, do you feel like a failure? You wanted to send Wang Yiding to study technology, but it turned out that he had a foreign girlfriend there. But don't tell me, Demae Yiding is usually quiet and honest. The key is It’s really a blockbuster moment, and I actually got a foreign wife to go home to celebrate the New Year.”
In the past, Qiao Sanli would show some special emotions when talking about Wang Yiding, but now it's like she's commenting on someone who has nothing to do with her.
Lin Yue sighed in his heart and decided not to forcefully bring the two together from now on.
…
The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.
In a room at Jinling Hotel.
Lin Yue took a sip of hot tea and looked across at He Jiangsheng who was returning from Beijing to Nanjing.
In fact, when he went to pick someone up at the airport a few days ago, he noticed that He Jiangsheng had some unspeakable secrets, but he didn't ask. Today, the situation was different. The middle-aged man opposite almost had the words "preoccupied" written on his face.
"Don't leave, you'll make me dizzy." Lin Yue pointed to the sofa: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
He Jiangsheng slowly sat over and sat down holding on to the armrest of the sofa.
"The things you told us have been completed. Ukraine has agreed to our controlling stake in the shipyard. We have also reached a high-level consensus on the sale of the Vagelyon. However, the current situation is that our shipping company has been targeted by some organizations. , this thing is so big, and the Turkish Strait is the only passage from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, there is no way it can be transported out unnoticed."
Lin Yue said: "How to negotiate with the forces along the way is not something we need to worry about. Businessmen from Hong Kong and Macao will take over. In this matter, we only need to help deal with the resistance from Ukraine."
"But……"
"Nothing but, I repeat, do business, do business, don't get involved too deeply in some things."
"All right."
It can be seen that He Jiangsheng is a little unwilling.
Lin Yue didn't pay attention to his little mood: "You talked to me about this matter on the phone. I came to Nanjing this time for other things, right?"
A flash of panic flashed across He Jiangsheng's eyes: "..."
"Speak when you have something to say, don't hesitate."
"Actually... Ju'an warned me not to talk too much in front of you, but after much thought, I think I should tell you the truth."
"Ju'an? What happened to her?"
He Jiangsheng checked Lin Yue's eyes, which showed undisguised nervousness and worry.
"In fact, not long after you left Beijing, she found out that she was pregnant. She came to Nanjing to find you on New Year's Day last year, but Song Qingyuan told her that you had a new girlfriend. After she confirmed the matter, she returned to Beijing quietly. .”
"Why didn't Song Qingyuan tell me?"
"I probably don't want to ruin your relationship with Xiang Nanfang."
"He is a kid from the south, so he does have a reason to do this. Then what?"
"Ju'an gave birth to the child. The child was born on August 22 last year, weighing 7 and a half pounds. She is a girl, and her nickname is Yaya."
"..."
"I know you can't accept it for a moment, but this is the fact. I wanted to bring her to you more than once, but Ju'an threatened her to death, saying that if I interfered in your affairs without permission, she would bring Wen Xue jumped off the building with her daughter. She also said that she didn’t want to complicate simple things. You have someone you like and they are engaged. If she comes out at this time, she will be treated as a mistress. Besides, it is impossible for Wen Xue to accept you. If you go back to find She can only make four people suffer. If Wenxue is stimulated and has a shortcoming, she will never forgive herself in her life, so the best choice is to hide this matter from you. Although she cannot marry you, you have Having my daughter by my side is a spiritual sustenance.”
