"My full name is Qiao Qiao, and my nickname is Qinglian. My mother's surname is Bai, so I'm called Bai Qinglian."
Now that they had made it clear, Qiao Qiao no longer avoided the question and said frankly.
Ding Ning's expression was a little complicated. "Then should I call you Bai Qinglian, Qiao Qiao, or old classmate?"
"Whatever you like."
Qiao Qiao said calmly.
This indifferent attitude caused a wave of anger to rise in Ding Ning's heart. He said expressionlessly, "Then I will leave first."
"You …"
Qiao Qiao looked at Ding Ning's back who walked out without hesitation after saying that. She was confused for a moment, and her face was full of misery.
They had been separated for more than a year, and they finally met again. She had thought that Ding Ning would spare time to talk to her, but she didn't expect that he would leave without hesitation.
She really wanted to stop him immediately and tell him that she had her own difficulties. For the past year or so, she had been thinking about him all the time and secretly paying attention to him. However, the reserved nature of a young girl made her unable to open her mouth.
Xu Minglu looked at Qiao Qiao hesitantly, and then he quickly chased after Ding Ning. Mayor Du was immersed in the excitement of his wife waking up. As a secretary, he must take good care of the leader's benefactor.
"Sister, you like him, don't you?"
Qiao Zhenya suddenly looked at Qiao Qiao and asked, but the distress in his eyes flashed away.
He was sick, and it was difficult for him to concentrate on things that he was not interested in. In the eyes of outsiders, his behavior was a little stupid, but it didn't mean that he was stupid and couldn't understand anything.
His sister and Ding Ning talked in a low voice, but he heard it clearly, but he pretended not to hear it.
He had a good relationship with his sister, and he had long seen that their relationship was not simple. But he knew that many things in the world were beyond his control, such as love and life and death.
Until now, when he saw his sister's dejected expression, the heartless him suddenly felt his heart ache. That was why he impulsively asked such a question.
"Zhenya, we … are just classmates. That's all. You think too much."
Looking at her brother's unprecedentedly clear eyes, Qiao Qiao smiled and lovingly rubbed his head, but the sadness between her eyebrows lingered.
"Sister, a person's life is limited. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. If you like someone, then go after him. Don't wait until you're old and regret it."
Qiao Zhenya's serious look made Qiao Qiao laugh and affectionately poked his forehead. "Little boy, what do you know? Don't overthink."
"I'm already an adult. I don't know nothing. Sister, don't miss out on your own happiness. Although this guy is a little crazy, I can still reluctantly accept him as my brother-in-law. If you're embarrassed, I'll talk to him."
Qiao Zhenya was not convinced.
"Don't mess around. I know my brother has grown up and become a man. Okay, let's go and see Auntie."
With a flash of sadness in her eyes, Qiao Qiao changed the topic in time and pulled Qiao Zhenya to the room, but she did not notice the firmness in his eyes.
"Brother Ding, it's not easy to get a taxi here. Where are you going? I'll see you off. "
At the gate of the sanatorium, Xu Minglu drove Ding Ning in person. He knew that from the moment Ding Ning woke up the mayor's wife, he was no longer a little doctor without any background.
Mayor Du would become his strongest support. It was absolutely not bad to make friends with him now.
"Send me to the antique street."
Ding Ning sat in the back seat wearily and closed his eyes to rest.
The consumption of waking up the mayor's wife, who had been sleeping for more than two years, was far beyond his expectation. His spirit, which had not fully recovered, became dispirited again.
In addition, Qiao Qiao's appearance made him upset. He seemed to have lost his energy and was listless.
"You don't have to worry about the car. I've already called the Accident Investigation Team and arranged it. The insurance company will pay the compensation directly. When the car is repaired, I'll have someone send it to you directly."
Xu Minglu's words cheered Ding Ning up and he smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Brother Xu!"
"Hey, we're brothers. Don't be so polite. I haven't thanked you for what you did last time. I should thank you more."
Xu Minglu's words of friendship made Ding Ning smile tacitly. "Brother Xu, you're right. There's no need to be so polite between us brothers."
For him, no matter whether Xu Minglu was using him or sincerely making friends with him, he would never suffer losses if he became friends with him.
Although Mayor Du owed him a big favor, the more he used a favor, the less it would be. When it was used up, it would be impossible for him to directly ask Mayor Du for help when he encountered some small troubles.
With such a friend who was not of a high rank but had a lot of power, it could bring him a lot of convenience in the future, so why not?
In Yan Jing, Aunt Xiang subconsciously touched the red coral Pisces pendant that filled her heart with warmth and walked quickly into the siheyuan with a happy face.
This trip to Ninghai was very satisfying. She not only got what she wanted, but also saw her son whom she had been dreaming of, but also finally untied the knot in her heart and had a long talk with her mother whom she had not seen for nearly 40 years.
Compared with getting the birthday ornament carved by her son as a birthday gift, she was more happy to get the Pisces pendant he gave her. Coincidentally, even Ding Ning did not know that they were both Pisces people, and their birthdays were only three days apart.
"First Miss, you're here!"
Jiang Rui, the personal secretary, came up and greeted her politely, but he looked a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Is there a guest here? How about I wait for a while? "
Aunt Xiang was a wise person. Seeing Jiang Rui's embarrassed face, she knew that there must be someone here.
"First Miss, how about … you come another day?"
Jiang Rui said warmly, with a touch of sympathy flashing in his eyes. This woman of the Su Family really had a hard time these years.
Aunt Xiang looked indifferent, knowing that the guest today probably came for her. "It doesn't matter. I can wait."
"Is Little Xiang back? That's good. Come in. "
Although the old man was old, he was not deaf at all. He could hear Aunt Xiang's voice the moment he entered the courtyard.
"Then … First Miss, please come in. Be careful."
Jiang Rui said awkwardly. He stopped Aunt Xiang from going in with good intentions, because he didn't want her to face those arrogant people. However, he didn't expect that the Old Master would find out about it. Now he was in an awkward situation, so he could only remind her secretly.
"Thank you, Secretary Jiang!"
Aunt Xiang nodded to him gratefully, which made Jiang Rui feel much better. He smiled gently and turned to lead the way.
"Little sister, you're back."
As soon as she entered the third yard, Aunt Xiang saw a group of people she didn't want to see the most. Her eldest grandpa, third grandpa, and fourth grandpa's family. She sneered secretly. It seemed that they were going to hold a joint trial.
As soon as they met, several cousins greeted her in a sarcastic way, especially the eldest cousin of the eldest uncle, Su Wanyu. She crossed her arms with a sarcastic and contemptuous smile on her face.
"Great Grandfather, I'm back. Great Grandfather, Third Grandfather, Eldest Cousin Brother, Second Cousin Brother, Third Cousin Brother, Fourth Cousin Brother … Eldest Cousin Sister, Second Cousin Sister, Third Cousin Sister … You've all come to see Great Grandfather."
Aunt Xiang had long been used to such occasions. She greeted them one by one according to the rules with a straight face.
"Yes!"
The old master had long practiced not to show his emotions. No one could tell what he was thinking from his expression. He nodded lightly and motioned Aunt Xiang to sit beside him.
"Ningxiang, why did I hear that you went to Ninghai? Is it true?"
Su Zhengxi, the third grandpa, had a bad temper. He began to attack aggressively, and his tone was full of questions.
"Yes, it's true."
Su Ningxiang replied in a light tone.
"Humph, how dare you! Who allowed you to break your promise and leave Yan Jing without permission?"
Su Zhengdong, the eldest grandpa, suddenly opened his eyes and scolded her harshly.
"Su Ningxiang, don't forget that if you hadn't promised not to leave Yan Jing that year, the father and son would have been killed by the Zhao Family. How could you break your promise? If the Zhao Family knew it, how much trouble would it bring to our Su Family?"
Su Zhengbei, the fourth grandpa, said bitterly, as if Su Ningxiang had committed a crime that angered both humans and gods.
"Little sister, how can you be so capricious? You don't think about the family at all. "
Su Zhenxiong, the third cousin, pretended to feel sorry.
"Yes, little sister, the Zhao Family is now in the limelight. You broke your promise and left Yan Jing without permission. Aren't you destroying our cooperation with the Zhao Family?"
Su Zhenfeng, the fourth cousin, shook his head and sighed again and again. He did not hide the gloating in his eyes.
"Humph, you always think about yourself. When have you ever thought about the family?"
Su Xiuyun, the second cousin, said with a sneer.
"If you hadn't been shameless to hook up with a wild man, give birth to a bastard, and make Zhao Tianya a cuckold, making my grandfather lose the support of the Zhao Family and stop at the provincial level, now you still dare to break your promise and leave Yan Jing without permission. I think you are going to meet your wild man, aren't you?"
Su Wanyu, the eldest cousin, said sharply and harshly, but her eyes were full of the pleasure of revenge.
She had been in love with Zhao Tianya in those days, but unfortunately, Zhao Tianya liked Su Ningxiang. The two families united by marriage, which made her jealous and hateful of Su Ningxiang. She was full of resentment and thought that Su Ningxiang had taken Zhao Tianya away.
Later, Su Ningxiang got pregnant before marriage and publicly broke the engagement with the Zhao Family, causing the Zhao Family to be furious and making Zhao Zhengdong's promotion to the deputy state level fall through. This made her more jealous of Su Ningxiang, so she mocked and ridiculed her as soon as they met.
Su Ningxiang had long been used to this kind of unpleasant words. She said indifferently without changing her expression, "Master Bai's 100th birthday is coming, and he asked me to buy a birthday gift. I will go to Ninghai to find the Master of the Divine Burin to prepare a birthday gift for Master Bai. Even if the Zhao Family knows it, they can't say anything, right? What's more, I promised not to see my husband and children, but I didn't say that I couldn't leave Yan Jing. Is this also a breach of promise? "
"The Master of the Divine Burin? Haha, Su Ningxiang, even if you want to lie, you should find a better reason, okay? Any work of the Master of the Divine Burin is worth at least ten million yuan. No one knows who the Master of the Divine Burin is. You still want to find him to prepare a birthday gift. Are you kidding me? "
Su Wanyu couldn't bear to see Su Ningxiang's indifferent look the most, so she sneered at her shrill voice.
"Humph, Su Ningxiang, you left Yan Jing without permission. Don't find these ridiculous reasons. You'd better think about how to explain to the Zhao Family."
Su Xiuyun said with her arms crossed and curled her lips.
"Don't get our Su Family involved in the trouble you caused. I am talking about cooperation with the Zhao Family. I have worked hard for more than half a year, and the cooperation is about to be settled. Now you do this. Don't you make my hard work go to waste?"
Su Zhenfeng's face was full of grief and hatred.
"I still hope that the Zhao Family will give me an additional investment. Because of what you have done, all my plans are ruined. What do you want me to do? I don't care. You go and explain to the Zhao Family. Don't delay my cooperation plan. "
Su Xiuyun's second cousin, Su Zhenwu, was a standard playboy. He set up an entertainment company and played with women all day long. He was very close to several playboys of the Zhao Family.
