At the same time.
The Qin family.
In the room.
The computer in front of Qin Yuhan was turned on. On the screen was the photo of Li Dong and Shen Qian taken at the airport yesterday.
After looking at the photo for a while, Qin Yuhan sighed softly.
Perhaps the result was already destined.
She had thought many times that if she had stayed by his side during the four years of university, would things have developed to this stage?
However, if only if, it would never become a reality.
Now that things had come to this, some things had to be faced eventually.
The certificate on the table was a little dazzling.
Without this certificate, perhaps she would not be like this now, so conflicted and uncomfortable.
At this moment, Qin Yuhan suddenly wanted to see someone.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yuhan picked up the phone and dialed a number.
The phone was connected. Qin Yuhan said softly, "Where are you?"
"What's up?"
"I want to see you. If it's convenient, let's chat for a while?"
…
Dongping.
Yuan Xue was slowly wandering along the street in a snow-white down jacket.
Hearing Qin Yuhan say "get together," Yuan Xue laughed, "Is it a loser's get-together?"
Qin Yuhan was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Maybe. Are you free?"
"Yes, in Dongping. You can come over if you want. I won't go to Pingchuan anyway."
"Dongping … I'll contact you when I arrive."
"…"
After hanging up, Yuan Xue murmured, "Looking for me for comfort? Poor child, but maybe you can give me more comfort. "
Chuckling softly, Yuan Xue's mood suddenly improved a lot.
It was not very humane to build one's happiness on the pain of others, but it felt … good.
…
Pingchuan.
It was evening. Tonight, the daughter of Jiangbei real estate tycoon Hsu Shengzhe was celebrating her birthday. It was also a big event in the Jiangbei business world.
Hsu Shengzhe was well-known for his love for his daughter.
This guy even brought his child to work. During working hours, he was often seen changing the child's diaper in the office.
In the past, he was the only tycoon in Jiangbei who liked to show off his dolls. Everyone slandered him, but not many people mentioned him to his face.
But now, in addition to him, the crazy show-off demon, Jiangbei had another tycoon showing off his wife.
Many entrepreneurs in Jiangbei could not take it anymore!
As the two leaders of Jiangbei's young entrepreneurs, was it appropriate for them to focus on their wives and children instead of focusing on their careers?
The two of them were the hope for the rise of Jiangbei Merchants. They were also the seeds for Jiangbei Merchants to regain their glory.
In the end, the two of them were not even 30 years old, and they were already enjoying the bliss of a family. This made many entrepreneurs in Jiangbei feel helpless.
Therefore, when the banquet was about to start, everyone saw a despairing scene.
Hsu Shengzhe was holding his child in one hand and his wife in the other. He happily greeted Li Dong opposite him.
As for Li Dong, he was holding Little Shitou in one hand and Tian Xiaoyu in the other. Shen Qian was standing next to him. He also happily greeted Hsu Shengzhe.
The first thing the two of them said when they met was nothing else. They said in unison, "The child is so cute!"
After saying this, the two of them looked at each other and then said in unison, "Shen Qian (Yue Qin) is so beautiful tonight."
After saying this, the two of them suddenly had nothing to say.
The people next to them all had black lines on their faces. Damn it, can't you say something more meaningful?
You two tycoons with billions of yuan, and you're talking about this the moment you meet?
After a while, Hsu Shengzhe smiled bitterly and said, "I say, Li Dong, are you deliberately provoking me? It's my daughter's birthday, why are you causing trouble? Not only did you bring your fiancée, but you also brought your two daughters. Are you bullying me because I'm alone? "
Li Dong said innocently, "What are you saying? Isn't your daughter also my daughter? I thought that sisters don't meet often, so we should cultivate our relationship from a young age. You're so narrow-minded, do I need to provoke you? "
Not caring about this guy's resentful expression, Li Dong put down Little Shitou and said to Tian Xiaoyu with a smile, "Go, take your younger sister to play for a while and exchange feelings. In the future, your younger sister will be yours. Younger sister has a lot of fun things, see what we lack at home and bring some back."
Hsu Shengzhe's face was full of black lines, and Yue Qin also couldn't stop laughing. She took the child from Hsu Shengzhe and said with a smile, "You guys talk, I'll bring the children in to play for a while."
Shen Qian also said, "You guys talk for a while and don't fight. I'll go in with Yue Qin first."
Li Dong said gloomily, "Do you think I'm a child? If I fight, can he be my opponent? "
Hsu Shengzhe said angrily, "Tonight is my daughter's week. If it wasn't for the fact that I don't want to spoil the atmosphere, I'd fight with you right now!"
"Why don't you try? We both know each other. Can you be my opponent?"
"Do you really want to compete with me?"
"…"
While the two of them were talking, Bai Yueqin and Shen Qian looked at each other and hurriedly pulled the children away. The two of them had nothing better to do, so all they could do was talk. After so many years, they did not really fight.
After they left, Hsu Shengzhe said in a low voice, "Are you sure?"
"Of course."
Hsu Shengzhe sighed softly and said, "It's good that you're sure. It's time to settle down. Although you're still young, you've come this far. Getting married early will make some people give up."
Li Dong glanced at him and didn't say a word.
Hsu Shengzhe said seriously, "Why are you looking at me? I'm serious. You're different from me. I'm just fooling around. Since you can't do it, don't defile other people's girls. Xiaorui and I have been friends for many years … "
"Cut the crap." Li Dong glared at him and frowned. "When did I defile others?! I've made it clear to Xiaorui. She hasn't been in contact with me recently. Don't cause trouble for me. "
"I'm causing trouble for you?" Hsu Shengzhe said angrily, "I can't be bothered with your troubles. I just don't want us to meet each other awkwardly.
Also, she was such a lively girl in the past.
Look at her now. Is she still as lively as before?
Li Dong, you're inhumane. If you knew this would happen, you wouldn't have hooked up with her.
If you didn't start a company with her and treated her as an ordinary friend, would there be so many problems now?
You asked for it. I don't sympathize with you. The key is Xiaorui. To put it bluntly, I feel sorry for you. You're such a jerk! "
Li Dong sighed and shook his head. "If I'm not a jerk, then I'm not a jerk. When I get married, it'll be over slowly. I didn't think so much before. It's my fault. Don't mention it to me. It's not easy to calm down. If you mention it again, everyone will be upset. "
Seeing that Li Dong didn't refute, Hsu Shengzhe didn't mention it again. This matter was Li Dong's fault, but it was not entirely his fault.
Moreover, it was hard to tell who was right and who was wrong.
Hsu Shengzhe didn't talk about this anymore. He pulled Li Dong to a place where there was no one around. He lowered his voice again and said, "What's going on recently? I heard that Old Zhou was taken away by you. The security company also made a lot of noise. What's the situation? If you need help, I still have some people here. It's not a problem to help out temporarily. "
Li Dong shook his head. "No need. It's not a big deal. As for Old Zhou, I'm not too sure about the exact situation, but I can't be bothered. He has his own thoughts, and I have my own choices. Even if I don't do it for myself, I have to consider for my family. I had no choice but to take him away. "
Hsu Shengzhe didn't know if he understood, but he was a smart man. He knew that it wasn't appropriate for him to delve into these matters.
The reason why he mentioned this was because he had interacted with Zhou Haidong quite a few times. That was why he said this.
Back when he went to Su An to take over the land, Zhou Haidong followed him for a period of time. Later on, they met often, so they were more familiar with each other.
Now that Zhou Haidong was suddenly taken away, Hsu Shengzhe couldn't help but ask.
Li Dong didn't say much, and he didn't ask either. However, in the end, he added, "You have to keep a clear line between public and private affairs. Don't invest too much emotion.
Buying people's hearts is one thing. On the surface, we can call each other brothers, and we can really be brothers.
But brothers only count when it's necessary. You're a smart man, so you understand what I mean.
People like us are actually loners.
Even if we have family, we can't be 100% open to each other.
Money moves people's hearts. You're still considered lucky. At least you don't have any biological siblings. So far away, you were the one who fought alone, so your situation is much better than mine.
People's hearts aren't enough. Now, you're good to them, and they're good to you.
After a few years, when you look back, some people and things will change.
This isn't an exception. It's a very common thing.
In the past, I treated some people as family and brothers, but in the end, they became enemies. I've finally seen through it.
You still haven't seen through it.
Otherwise, some things wouldn't have happened. "
When Li Dong heard that, he snorted. "You are you, and I am me.
Do you really think I'll disregard everything for money?
I don't want to be like you. We're actually not the same kind of people.
You look passionate on the surface, but you're actually cold-blooded. In this life, the person you care about the most is probably your daughter. I'm afraid others are nothing in your eyes.
Including your wife. Don't think I can't see that.
I'm different from you. I value more than you. "
Hsu Shengzhe mocked himself. "That's not a lie. Of course, it's also related to our different experiences. It's fine if you look down on me now. In a few decades, you'll know that there's actually no difference between us. Of course, if you can really treat money like dirt, then forget what I said. If you can't, then it's only a matter of time. "
As Hsu Shengzhe said that, he patted Li Dong's shoulder and smiled. "Knowing is one thing, but it's not appropriate for you to say it in front of me.
You brat, your big mouth is quite annoying.
But speaking of which, do you know why big brother takes care of you?
It's also related to your dog temper. If you were like me, I wouldn't be bothered to deal with you.
It's precisely because we're different that I'm dealing with you.
Before you become the next me, we can still be brothers, and big brother will continue to take care of you.
Wait until you become like me, then we'll see how it goes. "
Hearing that, Li Dong snapped, "Don't give me that. I didn't touch your plate, and you're still like this. If I touch your plate, even if I'm still like this, you'll still fight me. We don't know each other, so what's the use of being emotional with me? "
Hearing that, Hsu Shengzhe was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed out loud. "That's right. You may look stupid, but you're very clear in your heart! Alright, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. Anyway, you can treat me as a brother now. At least there won't be such a huge benefit, and we're brothers. As for that day, don't worry. I'll leave you food to eat, and you can take care of your wife and children. That's good enough, right? "
"I'll return the same to you."
Instead of getting angry, Li Dong also laughed.
The two of them didn't dwell on this topic. This was the situation in the business world.
Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe were still fine. At least, before the other party touched their bottom line, the two of them didn't fall out.
Even if that day came, it would be a business matter, and they wouldn't have to fight to the death.
In fact, this was already considered a deep friendship.
At their level, it was normal if they didn't fall, but if they did, it would be a huge matter. Under normal circumstances, there weren't many tycoons who could have a good ending after falling.
…
Just as Li Dong and his group were celebrating Hsu Shengzhe's birthday.
In a small county thousands of miles away from Jiangbei.
County hospital.
Zhou Haidong's face was taut, and his back was straight. He stood outside the ward without moving.
After an unknown amount of time, a crisp cry came from the ward.
Zhou Haidong still didn't move. When the doctor came out, Zhou Haidong asked in a deep voice, "Doctor, how is it?"
The doctor in the white coat took a breath and smiled. "Congratulations, both mother and child are safe. Although it's premature, the child is still considered healthy. Of course, because he's not even a month old, he has to stay in the hospital for observation. "
Zhou Haidong said softly, "Thank you. It's good that he's safe."
After saying that, Zhou Haidong turned around and walked out.
The doctor asked doubtfully, "Sir, aren't you going to see your wife and child?"
Zhou Haidong did not reply. He walked straight out of the room.
After leaving the hospital, Zhou Haidong turned around and stared at the floor where Liu Xinyi was for a long time.
Finally, Zhou Haidong gritted his teeth, turned around, and disappeared from the hospital entrance.
…
Half an hour later.
In a small hotel in the county town.
Mrs. Zhou's expression was a little complicated when she saw her husband return, but she still asked softly, "How is it?"
"Both mother and child are safe."
"That's good, that's good. At least the Zhou family has roots …" Mrs. Zhou said as tears streamed down her face.
Zhou Haidong's expression was complicated. He gently hugged his wife and whispered, "You and Guoguo are my roots."
After saying that, Zhou Haidong took out a card from his pocket and stuffed it into his wife's arms. He said softly, "The password is our family's previous password, Guoguo's birthday. When you're with your father-in-law, don't live under someone else's roof. The money in the card is enough to buy a house for you and Guoguo for a few years. Also, I won't be going with you. Just tell him that I'm busy with work and can't come back for the time being. I'll visit you and the child when I miss you and the child. "
Mrs. Zhou was shocked. She looked at him with tears streaming down her face. "Where are you going? You don't want me and Guoguo anymore? "
Zhou Haidong shook his head. "Why would I? You're my wife, and Guoguo is my roots. I can abandon anyone, but I won't abandon the two of you. I really have something to do, and I need to leave for a while. As for the woman and the child, you don't have to care about them. I'm not going there. "
Hearing that her husband was not going there, Mrs. Zhou heaved a sigh of relief. However, she still said reluctantly, "Then where are you going? Can't you even tell me? Also, if you give me the money, what … what about her and the child? "
Zhou Haidong snorted. "She won't be short of money! Tens of millions is gone just like that. Do you really think I don't know the situation? Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. Just bring Guoguo back tomorrow morning. As for me, I'm leaving tonight. "
"Now?"
"Yes."
"Haidong, where are you going? If you don't tell me, I'll be scared …" Mrs. Zhou looked worried. Seeing that her husband was about to leave, she quickly grabbed his arm and asked.
Zhou Haidong hesitated for a moment. After a while, he sighed and said, "Paying off the debt."
"Paying off the debt?"
Zhou Haidong gently stroked his wife's cheek and shook his head. "Don't ask. I'll come back to see you when I have time. Also, tell Guoguo to study hard. Only by studying will she have a bright future. When I'm back, I'll buy her fun and delicious food. "
After saying that, Zhou Haidong was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he turned around and went back into the room.
He glanced at his daughter who was sleeping soundly on the bed, lowered his head, and gently kissed her forehead.
After doing that, Zhou Haidong waved at his wife and walked out, quickly disappearing into the night.
