Chapter 1222 He Has Changed

Xu Chunliang said: "I am just a department-level cadre in a prefecture-level city. These matters are not under my control."

Feng Mingjun sighed and said, "As long as you understand, I have a hunch that something big will happen recently. Your best choice is to stay away from right and wrong."

Xu Chunliang said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Feng Mingjun put out the cigarette, looked at the vast dusk in the distance, and said softly: "Do you know why your godmother divorced Ye Changyuan?"

Xu Chunliang said: "It seems because she disagrees with the marriage between Sister Qingya and Qiao Rulong."

Feng Mingjun shook his head: "Because the Lin family does not want the Qiaoye family to unite, Sijin and her daughter are actually victims of political interests."

Xu Chunliang sighed secretly, even a strong man like Lin Sijin had to bow his head in front of reality. He remembered one thing. His mother might have some knowledge about Qiao Yuanshan, and maybe she knew this person. He found the photo and showed it to Feng Mingjun.

Feng Mingjun was also confused after seeing the photo: "I don't recognize him."

Xu Chunliang didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly: "Do you think this person is Qiao Yuanshan?"

Feng Mingjun shook his head and said, "No!"

Xu Chun was stunned. His mother would not lie to him. Ever since he and Ye Qingya went to Duyun Temple and discovered those messy stone carvings, he had suspected that Monk Tonghui was Qiao Yuanshan. However, when he asked several people who had seen Qiao Yuanshan, they all said no. It seems that my suspicions were in the wrong direction.

But if Monk Tonghui is not Qiao Yuanshan, how should we explain the stone carvings in the cave?

Feng Mingjun said: "Why are you interested in Qiao Yuanshan's affairs?"

Xu Chunliang said: "I suspect this person is Qiao Yuanshan."

Feng Mingjun took his phone again to confirm, shook his head and said, "No!"

Xu Chunliang said: "Have you ever seen this woman?"

Feng Mingjun said: "Qiao Yuanshan and I are not familiar with each other, and I have never seen this woman before. Do you suspect that this girl is Mei Ruxue?"

Xu Chunliang laughed, he did have such an idea.

Feng Mingjun said: "I have seen Mei Ruxue when she was a child, and this photo is definitely not her."

Xu Chunliang was also shaken now. Maybe Tong Hui and Qiao Yuanshan were two different people: "Why did Qiao Yuanshan run away from home back then?"

Feng Mingjun smiled calmly and said: "Who said he ran away from home? It's just what the Qiao family said to the outside world. I only heard that Qiao Yuanshan was on the rise back then, but he was suddenly found to have problems. This problem is not just about his lifestyle. , and suspected of betraying national interests.”

Xu Chunliang secretly thought that it was no wonder. If it was just a matter of lifestyle, the strong strength of the Qiao family should be able to suppress this matter. However, the latter is a taboo of the system. No matter what your background is, once it is verified, there will be no room for maneuver.

Feng Mingjun said: "I have only heard that. I have not investigated the real situation. You are innocent and live your own life freely. Why do you need to intervene in other people's disputes?"

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "I remember."

Feng Mingjun said: "I have been assigned to work abroad recently and will be away for a long time. If you don't want to study abroad, I can't force you."

Xu Chunliang said: "You must pay attention to safety wherever you go. You are not too young. You should try your best not to do high-risk jobs."

Feng Mingjun felt warmed by her son's concern: "Okay, just take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about me." She knew very well that her son's words were not directed at her alone.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "I am already an adult. Even if I encounter trouble, I will be able to solve it, so you can just rest assured."

Feng Mingjun reached out and held her son's face and squeezed it hard. She pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but she finally controlled it and said softly: "Actually, we just want you to be an ordinary person."

Xu Chunliang said: "I am just an ordinary person."

Feng Mingjun patted his face gently: "Boy, how many women have you deceived?"

Xu Chunliang said: "That's not cheating, it's mutual love."

Feng Mingjun pinched his ears: "You bastard!"

Qiao Rulong has not calmed down until now. When he returned home, he first went to find his sister.

Mei Ruxue is packing up. She will report to Dongzhou next week.

Seeing Qiao Rulong's face looking so ugly, the first thing that came to mind was his body.

"Brother, why do you look so ugly? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qiao Rulong shook his head and sat down on the chair: "What are you..."

Mei Ruxue said: "I'm going to report for duty next week, so I'll pack up in advance."

Qiao Rulong said oh and whispered: "Go to Dongzhou."

Mei Ruxue said: "Didn't you already know this?" She continued to pack her things.

Qiao Rulong said: "I saw Xu Chunliang."

Mei Ruxue said calmly: "Let's go to the Dongzhou Consulate in Beijing." When her brother sent her to the Consulate in Beijing, she must have seen Xu Chunliang. As for whether they had chatted in private, Mei Ruxue didn't know, and she didn't take the initiative to ask. Now that the eldest brother has said it, it proves that there should be communication between them.

Qiao Rulong said: "I thought he lived in the Beijing Office, but after asking, I found out that he has been living in Ye Qingya's studio during this period."

Mei Ruxue paused obviously, but she quickly continued to clean up and said softly: "He is sister Qingya's godbrother, this is normal."

Qiao Rulong said: "But I heard something is a little abnormal."

Mei Ruxue put down the book in her hand and turned to Qiao Rulong: "Brother, you and Sister Qingya have divorced, and you no longer have a marriage relationship. It is her freedom to date whoever she wants, and you have no right to interfere."

Qiao Rulong said: "I don't want to interfere with her. She can date anyone, but not Xu Chunliang."

Mei Ruxue turned around silently without saying anything, just pursed her lips lightly. She actually noticed it, because Ye Qingya talked about Xu Chunliang's expression when she met her. Mei Ruxue just didn't want to think about it, and quietly reminded herself that the story between her and Xu Chunliang was over.

Qiao Rulong said: "You know Xu Chunliang's character better than anyone else. He is basically using Ye Qingya. He hopes to achieve the purpose of climbing up the Ye family through Ye Qingya, just like he did to you at the beginning..."

"It's different!" Mei Ruxue turned around angrily, and the clear eyes burst into anger.

Qiao Rulong said: "Why is it different? He approached you with a purpose from the beginning..."

"Enough!" Mei Ruxue interrupted her brother with a sharp voice.

Qiao Rulong looked at his sister in astonishment. In his memory, his sister always respected him. How did she suddenly become like this?

Mei Ruxue said: "Brother, you have changed. You were not so broad-minded in the past. The relationship between Xu Chunliang and me is not as complicated as you think. The reason why we broke up is not because of emotional problems. Xu Chunliang does not owe our Qiao family, let alone you!"

Qiao Rulong's heart beat faster again. He felt dry in his throat and kept swallowing. His hands began to tremble slightly.

"I... I just care about you..." Even he himself felt that this sentence had no persuasiveness.

Mei Ruxue said: "Brother, don't worry about me. I can handle my own affairs. I didn't go to Dongzhou for Xu Chunliang. It is impossible for a person to live only for feelings."

Qiao Rulong wanted to use laughter to resolve the embarrassment at the moment, but unfortunately he couldn't laugh.

Mei Ruxue said, "We all know what grandpa's biggest regret is. I may not be able to do it well, but I don't want him to be disappointed."

Qiao Rulong's violently beating heart squeezed the hot blood to his face. His sister's words were like a thorn that pierced his heart deeply. He thought it was an allusion to himself. Qiao Rulong yelled, "Yes, I disappointed grandpa and brought shame to the Qiao family, but it's not your turn to teach me a lesson. Don't forget, your last name is Mei!"

Mei Ruxue's pretty face turned pale in an instant, and she bit her lips hard.

Qiao Rulong blurted out this sentence and immediately regretted it. The person in front of him was his sister. Although they were not born of the same mother, he had always loved and cared for this sister and had never said a harsh word to her face, not to mention directly revealing her scars like this.

Mei Ruxue didn't say anything, but just walked out of the door silently. Qiao Rulong chased her out: "Xiaoxue, listen to my explanation..."

Mei Ruxue hurried down the stairs as if she didn't hear it. Qiao Rulong chased outside and saw his grandfather reading a newspaper in the living room downstairs. He immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to chase.

When Mei Ruxue saw Grandpa, she slowed down her pace and came to Grandpa and said hello: "Grandpa."

Old Qiao said: "Going out?"

Mei Ruxue said: "Yes, go out for a walk."

Old Qiao stood up: "I've been staying at home for a long time, and I feel bored. Let's go and take a walk together."

Mei Ruxue had no choice but to nod.

The grandfather and grandfather came out together, walking along the path of the courtyard to the small park at the back. Seeing the scattered fallen leaves on the road, Old Qiao sighed softly: "It's late autumn again."

Mei Ruxue said: "The weather is getting colder, you should take care of your health. I will go to Dongzhou tomorrow."

Old Qiao said: "Is Wang Jianming in Beijing?"

Mei Ruxue nodded: "I met him in the afternoon, and he asked me to say hello to you on his behalf. This time his schedule is too tight, so he can't spare time to visit you."

Old Qiao said calmly: "Let it be."

Mei Ruxue vaguely sensed some displeasure in her grandfather's words. She knew very well that her grandfather had helped Wang Jianming in governing Dongzhou. However, Wang Jianming did have to deal with a lot of troubles when he came to Beijing this time. Mei Ruxue went to the Beijing Office today and talked about some of them. Mei Ruxue believed that Wang Jianming came to Beijing this time to seek help to solve the problem.

Old Qiao looked at the sunset in the distance and whispered, "What did Rulong want to ask you for just now?"

"Nothing." Mei Ruxue naturally didn't dare to tell her grandfather the details of their conversation.

Old Qiao sighed and said, "He has changed. Since the operation, he has become more and more unfamiliar to me. Xiaoxue, I have heard that many people's personalities will change after receiving a heart transplant. Do you think this will happen to him?"
