"Mom, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want to stay, but I really can't. My relationship with Li Chengyan is a stain on him. If I stay, it's not good for me or the children. If you want me to, I can come to me. It's okay to stay for a long time." Qiao Ning thought his mother couldn't bear to part with her and immediately comforted her.
Chen Meng looked embarrassed and said with difficulty, "I know, actually... It's Faang Yuandong. He's been relying on Li Chengyan to get to this stage for the past few years. He... Is about to get the vice president's selection. He wants Li Chengyan to help him."
Qiao Ning was stunned and blurted out, "He asked Li Chengyan to help him and Li Chengyan to help him. Tell me what this is for."
Chen Meng was even more ashamed and lowered his head in shame.
Qiao Ning came to his senses, angry and amused. He said, "Did he ask you to come to me and let me talk to Li Chengyan?"
"Ning, mom knows it's hard for you." Chen Meng said in shame.
Qiao Ning said rudely, "Mom, you are indeed making things difficult for me, and it's very difficult. I can't talk to Li Chengyan. Let alone that I can't find him now. Even if it works, I won't go to him. So you should tell Faang Yuandong these things and let him think of a way not to pave the way for me."
"Ning, mom is sorry." Chen Meng choked.
Qiao Ning frowned. If she had felt that her mother was not easy before, she would have said this because she felt ashamed of her. But over the years, she had experienced more and had more mature ideas about many things. How could she not know her mother's true intention? Apologizing to her like this only softened her heart and agreed to her request.
"Mom, if there's anything else I can do to help, I'll try my best, but this won't do. I'm married, as you can see, and I have a child and a husband. Li Chengyan also has his own fiancee. We've been in the past for a long time, and we can't have anything to do with each other anymore." Qiao Ning said earnestly.
Chen meng sighed and looked at her grown up daughter again. She knew that her little tricks were no longer useful in front of her.
"Ning, I see. I'll tell her. If you want to go... Just go! Don't come back if you're fine. Don't worry, everything is fine here. I'll visit you when I have time, so don't come back." Chen meng said.
Qiao Ning nodded. Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said goodbye to his mother.
After returning to Xu Meng's place, Ann Nan had already packed her luggage.
Xu Meng couldn't bear to part with her. He held her hand and said reluctantly, "Can't you stay a few more days? You don't have to be so anxious! There are still many things we haven't talked about. By the way, there's also the flower shop. You paid for it back then. You have shares. I've been giving you the money and keeping it in an account."
Xu Meng quickly asked Lin Zhenqing to bring the card to Qiao Ning.
Qiao Ning said quickly, "I haven't helped you much in the past few years, so I don't have the nerve to take the money. Take that money as if I lent it to you husband and wife, and I don't want any shares."
"That's not possible. How could things change? If you're sorry, I'll deduct some of the wages of the people over the years. You won't feel like taking advantage of me. But you have to settle the accounts well. It's not good to do it in three or five days."
Qiao Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said helplessly, "Xu Meng, you have to let me stay!"
Xu Meng pursed his lips and said, "Can't you stay for another two days? You have to go back in such a hurry!"
"Mengmeng, it's not that you don't know. It's not that I'm in a hurry to go back, it's... It's that I can't leave. Who knows when that bastard wants to trouble me again, or better get out of the insurance."
"Yes, let Qiao Ning and the others go! If you miss them, we'll arrange the things in the store to find them in two days. If you want to stay a few more days, stay a few more days. Don't cause them any trouble." Lin Zhenqing also advised.
Xu Meng had no choice but to let go of his hand and watch Qiao Ning and Ann Nan leave with tears in his eyes.
But she wasn't the only one who couldn't bear to part with her, and Qiao Li couldn't bear to part with Doudou. She kept holding Doudou's hand and asking when she could come back to see Doudou.
Qiao Ning didn't expect him to be so attached to someone, so he had to coax him, "Aunt Xu will wait for sister Doudou to find us in two days. Don't be stingy and give your good things to sister Doudou to play with."
"Well, I won't be stingy." Qiao Li nodded at once.
Qiao Ning carried him into Lin Zhenqing's car and Lin Zhenqing drove them to the station.
Ann Nan came by train, so he had to take the bus back.
When they arrived at the station, it was not time for the tickets to be checked. The few of them gathered together and said some parting words.
"Ning, time's up. Let's go in!" Ann Nan said to qiao ning.
Qiao Ning nodded and carried Qiao Li and Ann Nan inside.
However, when she walked to the checkout to verify the ticket, she found that the ticket could not be verified.
"What's going on?" Qiao Ning frowned and asked Ann Nan.
Ann Nan frowned and looked puzzled. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I bought the tickets on the official website. It should be okay."
"I'm sorry, please follow me here." The station staff said to Qiao Ning and Ann Nan.
Qiao Ning and Ann Nan followed him in confusion. Lin Zhenqing and Xu Meng didn't go either. Seeing that they didn't go in, they came over and asked.
Qiao Ning shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.
The man took them into a room and left without saying a word.
Qiao Ning frowned and looked at Ann Nan.
This was the first time Ann Nan had encountered such a situation. The staff here did not explain to them. He did not know what had happened.
"Wait a minute. I'll call and ask." Ann Nan said.
He was going to call Zhao Yi to ask. At least he was a government employee and should know something about it.
But before he could take out his phone, the door of the small room opened again.
It was not the station staff who came in, but a man dressed in black who looked like a bodyguard.
"Is it Miss Qiao?" The man in black asked qiao ning.
Qiao Ning nodded and said, "I am. Who are you? How do you know my name?"
"Hello, I'm Mr. Li's bodyguard. Mr. Li wants to see you." The man in black said.
When Qiao Ning heard Mr. Li's words, his face immediately turned pale, and his eyes were obviously a little frightened.
Xu Meng and Lin Zhenqing were also stunned. They immediately said to the man in black, "Mr. Li, what's the matter with her? Isn't everything settled?"
"She won't go. Please tell Mr. Li that we're leaving Feng City. We won't see him again." Ann Nan also stood up and stood in front of Qiao Ning.
