Chapter 807 Breaking up always happens on a rainy day
Qiao Rulong was not angry because Xu Chunliang exposed his shortcomings in person. He smiled and said: "Those who check you are my friends, and those who check me are my enemies."
Xu Chunliang nodded: "You have confused me. Are we friends or enemies?"
Qiao Rulong said: "You and I have never regarded each other as our friends. You respect me because I am Xiaoxue's brother, and I am polite to you because you are Xiaoxue's boyfriend. Once the relationship between you After a change, there is no connection between you and me, don’t you think?”
Xu Chunliang said: "It seems that there is some truth in what you said."
Qiao Rulong said: "You are a sensible person, and you do have some abilities, but you also have a lot of shortcomings." He glanced at the photos on the table: "I'm not saying that you like to flirt with women, you are the biggest The only drawback is origin."
Xu Chunliang looked at Qiao Rulong and thought to himself, do you really need to be so frank?
Qiao Rulong said: "Xiaoxue asked me to tell you that she does not intend to continue the relationship with you."
Xu Chunliang said: "Wouldn't she tell me face to face in Dongzhou?"
Qiao Rulong said: "You don't have to doubt that our Qiao family is very democratic. No one forced her to do anything she didn't want to do. It was when she grew up that she finally realized that you are not the same person."
Qiao Rulong took out a box and gently pushed it in front of Xu Chunliang. Xu Chunliang opened it and saw that inside was a gift from his mother and father to Mei Ruxue.
Xu Chunliang said: "Did you show her these photos?"
Qiao Rulong shook his head: "I'm not that despicable, and I never think that these things will affect a woman's choice. If she likes you, she will not care about these gossipy things, but will choose to defeat these Yingying Yanyan , holding you firmly in my hand.”
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "You speak from experience."
Qiao Rulong laughed loudly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "We are both rational people. It is good to solve problems calmly like this. With all due respect, you and I are different. We have never been in the same world. Even if you and I Xiaoxue reluctantly came together, and the final ending will not be happy."
Xu Chunliang said calmly: "A curse?"
"It's a piece of advice, and the one who is more seriously injured must be you." After a pause, he added: "It will even affect the people around you."
Xu Chunliang said: "Since you are so frank, let me ask, is it because what happened to you ruined your political future, so the Qiao family puts this heavy burden on Xiaoxue's shoulders?"
Qiao Rulong tapped his fingers on the table, and Xu Chunliang read his inner uneasiness from his body language.
Qiao Rulong was silent for a while and then said: "Children of the Qiao family are born more tired than others. You should feel lucky that you were born into an ordinary family. In fact, they are much luckier than us."
Xu Chunliang said: "Everyone has his or her own happiness, it just depends on whether you want to fight for it or not."
Qiao Rulong said: "I hope that the matter between you and Xiaoxue will be completely settled from today on. Soon you will find that the relationship between you is not as unforgettable as you imagined."
Xu Chunliang said: "I'm not a person who likes to pester, but I still want to hear her tell me personally."
Qiao Rulong shook his head and said: "She will leave Dongzhou soon."
Xu Chunliang took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes at Qiao Rulong: "To be honest, I really hate the way you look so condescending now."
Qiao Rulong said: "You think I am superior because you, like many ordinary people, are used to kneeling and looking at others."
Xu Chunliang laughed: "It makes sense. It seems there is no need for us to continue talking."
Qiao Rulong nodded: "My grandpa actually likes you, but some things in this world are so strange, and you don't have to get it if you like it." He was officially announcing to Xu Chunliang that the door of the Qiao family had been completely closed to Xu Chunliang. .
Xu Chunliang said: "Then I'll leave first."
Qiao Rulong said: "I'll give you another piece of advice. No matter how good a carp is, don't try to swim into the sea. In fact, rivers and lakes are wide enough for it."
Xu Chunliang said: "That's because you don't have enough experience. You have never seen a carp become a spirit." After saying this, Xu Chunliang stood up and left. He did not feel regret. The Qiao family naturally had their own considerations in drawing a line between themselves and themselves. It did not represent Mei Ruxue's thoughts. Xu Chunliang believed that the one who really suffered the loss was Qiao Rulong.
Originally, he had decided to save Qiao Rulong, but now it was obviously no longer necessary. He didn't even bother to do something that was hot and cold.
Xu Chunliang walked out of the tea house. There was drizzle in the sky. This weather atmosphere was suitable for breaking up. He walked along the path paved with bluestones. The air was filled with a moist and fresh smell, and the world took on a new look after being washed.
Mei Ruxue appeared at the corner without any warning, holding a transparent umbrella. This was no accident.
Xu Chunliang looked at Mei Ruxue, his smile was still warm.
Mei Ruxue stopped one meter away from him. She was also smiling. Her smile was still charming, but sadness could be seen in her eyes.
Xu Chunliang said softly: "I thought you never wanted to see me again."
Xu Chunliang asked: "Is your family putting pressure on you?" Mei Ruxue shook her head: "I suddenly realized that there will be no happiness between you and me. You can't live under constraints and rules like me, and I can't be as trusting as you."
Xu Chunliang said: "I understand."
Mei Ruxue raised her umbrella to cover Xu Chunliang from the falling rain above her head, but Xu Chunliang refused. Mei Ruxue's umbrella was too small to accommodate two people keeping a distance.
Mei Ruxue said: "I will be away for a while, and I don't think I will contact you again in the future."
Xu Chunliang said: "I will always be there."
Mei Ruxue nodded: "Take care of yourself and control your temper."
Xu Chunliang said with a smile: "It's hard to change your temperament."
Mei Ruxue glanced at the box in his hand and whispered: "Help me say sorry to my aunt for letting her down."
Xu Chunliang said: "She cares about me, so she shouldn't be disappointed."
Mei Ruxue said: "Yes, this bracelet will find a better owner soon. I envy you for this. You have parents who really care about you."
Xu Chunliang said: "Being too rational is not a good thing. Your grandfather and your eldest brother are all the same kind of people. You should understand what I am talking about."
Xu Chunliang didn't need to say it clearly. Mei Ruxue understood that he was reminding herself that both grandfather and eldest brother put the interests of the family first, and the first thing they considered was not their own happiness.
Mei Ruxue said softly: "You misunderstood them. The breakup was my own idea and had nothing to do with anyone."
Xu Chunliang nodded.
Mei Ruxue said: "I'm leaving!"
"I send you."
Mei Ruxue said: "No need."
Their breakup was rational and calm, without heartbreak or grief. Maybe today's breakup is just for a better reunion tomorrow. Life will not stop because of breakup, and life is still full of hope.
Xu Chunliang chose to watch off until Mei Ruxue disappeared around the corner of the street, then he raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief. When did he become so affectionate? Perhaps while he gave Xu Cong a new life, Xu Cong was also quietly changing himself.
While Xu Chunliang was walking in the rain, he received a call from Mrs. Zhou. The old lady told Xu Chunliang that she was leaving Dongzhou. Before leaving, she made some rice dumplings for Xu Chunliang to take.
The old lady often thought about Xu Chunliang, but Xu Chunliang captured some unusual information from her words. Could Mrs. Zhou's departure from Dongzhou have something to do with Secretary Zhou? After all, a series of recent events in Dongzhou have called into question the leadership ability of this top leader.
Xu Chunliang took a car and went straight to Mrs. Zhou's house. The old lady was not alone at home. Her daughter-in-law Shu Yao was instructing people to help organize things. Many things were packed. Mrs. Zhou looked unhappy. He muttered: "I'll take care of my own things myself. Hey, don't touch my kimchi jar."
Although Xu Chunliang has known Secretary Zhou for so long, this was the first time he met the hostess of the Zhou family. He went over to Shu Yao and said hello with a smile: "Aunt Shu, are you moving? If there is anything you need to help with, just take care of it. Order."
Shu Yao glanced at Xu Chunliang: "Xiao Xu, right? I've heard of you a long time ago. You are Zhen Chun's cousin."
Xu Chunliang's cousin Zhen Chun recently fell in love with her son Zhou Deming, so Shu Yao paid special attention to her family background. Shu Yao was personally opposed to it, but Secretary Zhou thought it was good, especially with her son's introverted personality. Suitable for looking for a girl with a cheerful and outgoing personality.
Xu Chunliang nodded.
Shu Yao asked, "Why are you here?" She didn't want outsiders to know about the move.
Mrs. Zhou said: "I asked Xiao Xu to come over, and I made rice dumplings for him."
Shu Yao frowned. This mother-in-law was really careless. The more sensitive the moment, the less she wanted too many people to know about it, but she had better take the initiative to take people home.
Mrs. Zhou called Xu Chunliang to the kitchen. Before entering the kitchen, she did not forget to look back at her daughter-in-law and whispered: "Don't pay attention to her. Anyone you meet is like owing her money."
Xu Chunliang wanted to laugh a little, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were indeed natural enemies.
Mrs. Zhou took out the cooked rice dumplings from the pot and muttered: "It has just been cooked. The ones with square corners are meat rice dumplings and the ones with sharp corners are sweet rice dumplings. You can eat them right away when you take them home. Store the others in the refrigerator." .”
Xu Chunliang said: "Where do you plan to move to?"
Mrs. Zhou sighed and said, "Provincial capital, your Uncle Zhou has been transferred to the provincial capital due to work arrangements."
Xu Chunliang was shocked. Sure enough, he guessed correctly. Secretary Zhou's trip to the provincial capital this time was not an ordinary promotion. Instead, he took responsibility for a series of recent events in Dongzhou.
