“I saw the entertainment news just now. Old Ji and Qiao man have divorced. Regardless of whether they divorced because of this matter, I have a responsibility that can not be shirked. In these few years, our Lin family has declined and we are no longer the same as before. I always want to find another way, and I always want to use the political power that I support to prove my original choice… “. … ..

Lin Nancheng’s tall and straight figure lazily leaned against the door frame, his hands in his pockets. Then, he looked at Lin Yan, who was covered by the shadow formed by his tall figure, through the orange-yellow sensor lights that flickered in and out of the corridor.

“Of course, I also admit that I have never given up on her! ”

“when our Lin family fell, it was not only because of the Fu family, but also because of the Wen family. And all of this, warmth… I know, but she didn’t tell me. This is also the reason why I would rather go to prison than face my family. ”

Lin Yan leaned against the door frame. Hearing Lin Nancheng’s words, she didn’t have any emotional fluctuations, but just listened quietly.

Lin Nancheng withdrew his gaze from Lin Yan and turned to look at the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the end of the corridor. The light was dim, cutting his eyebrows and eyes into cold edges. Each stroke carried a deep coldness.

“from the time we met when we were in our teens to the time we are now in our thirties, my world has always been haunted by her figure. For her sake, I did not hesitate to choose the opposite side of old JI and old Fu on the path of politics. I did not listen to the dissuasion of father, mother, and grandfather. I resolutely determined my beliefs and choices

“But what about her? She knew that everything I did was for her, but at the critical moment, she retreated safely with her father. She was still able to summon the wind and rain in the world of the extremely extravagant rich and turn things around

“As for me? I became a prisoner, a prisoner. I may never be able to walk the political path that I’ve always dreamed of in my life. ”

Lin Nancheng’s voice was very lonely, but most of it was based on confiding. Perhaps he had been played around by women. Other than telling Lin Yan, he really couldn’t think of anyone else.

He sighed slightly and continued, “Yan ‘er, she just sent me a message saying that she… is getting married! ”

“with… Lu Yubai! ”

The momentum of the three branches of the famous military and political families in the past, after the decline of the Lin family, became that of the JI family and the Fu family. In the past few years, with the rise of the power of the Lu family, the situation of the three branches of the military in Lin city was restored.

Although Lu Yubai was idle and had a wide range of special hobbies, especially in the area of women, he had so many tricks that only you could not think of. There was nothing that he could not do. He did not even have any principles or bottom line. Of course, these were the exceptions Lu Yubai was considered a good choice. At least, he was from a genuine noble family that had grown up with a golden spoon in his mouth.

Now, he was also one of the top generals in the Lin city military region. Even Fu Zhanglin and Ji Donghe had to give him some face. One could imagine the Lu family and Lu Yubai’s position in Lin city.

Lin Yan had always known that Lin Nancheng had a woman that he had kept in his heart for many years. However, she had never met her, nor did she know what she was called, what she looked like, and what her family background was like. She only knew that he had done a lot for that woman This included his major when he applied for university and the country where he went to study later.

Of course, this was not accurate enough.

She knew the woman that Lin Nancheng was talking about, and they were very familiar with each other. However, the two of them claimed to be friends, and they just happened to grow up together.

Yes, Wen Nuan was the illegitimate daughter that Wen Jiaming left behind in Lin city. She only acknowledged her ancestors five years ago.

Lin Yan only found out recently that Wen Nuan had suddenly disappeared from the United States in order to acknowledge Wen Jiaming and acknowledge her ancestors.

“In the past, my perception of Wen Jiaming has always been that he is the richest businessman of Chinese descent. He has the ability to adapt to both sides, and he even has the ability to take in both black and white. I didn’t expect him to reach so far and become interested in the political forces in the country. ”

Lin Yan slightly raised her eyebrows “abroad, he had Meng Dongxing to recruit troops for him. At home, he avoided Ji Yunshen and Fu Qingshan, and through marriage, he quickly established himself in the country. In fact, sometimes, I really admire him. After all, there are not many entrepreneurs who are as ambitious and capable as he is now! ”

Lin Nancheng knew that she was complaining about warmth. When they were studying in the UK, they were so close and warm. They had lied to him one after another, and also to her!

“Yan ‘er, I’m telling you so much because it’s too hard for me to keep it in my heart. I want to get it off my chest, but this is between me and her after all. You two have been sisters in England for so many years. Don’t be affected by my judgment. In the end, this is what happened because I was willing to walk into the deep pit from the beginning. It’s not her fault. ”

“brother, it’s already at this point, and you’re still defending her? ”

Lin Yan took a deep breath. Her watery eyes were like clear water flowing through a stream. “You’re thinking of her so much. Has She ever thought of you? ”

Lin Nancheng didn’t say anything. He was silent for a long time.

After a few minutes, he raised his deep eyes and looked at Lin Yan. “Yan ‘er, my attachment and feelings for her are just like your attachment and feelings for Fu Qingshan back then. Even though you know it’s like a moth to the flame and your head is bleeding, you still have to love and protect her! ”

“It’s my misjudgment that gave her a chance. I don’t blame her, I ONLY BLAME MYSELF! ”

After saying that, Lin Nancheng straightened up and patted Lin Yan’s shoulder. “Alright, I’ve already said what I wanted to say. Now I feel like my chest isn’t so stuffy anymore! ”

“It’s getting late, sleep early. I’m going back to the villa in the back room. If Fu Qingshan bullies you, you can look for me, understand? ”

Lin Yan nodded. How could she not know that her brother was forcing her into the forest of death to test the last bit of relationship between him and Wen Nuan? Of course, he also wanted to use this method to confuse Wen Jiaming’s line of sight so as to cover their tracks when they went to America Because he wanted to see Wen Nuan, and this was the most unexpected method.

In fact, she knew that he would come to apologize because of the darkness and death that the forest of death brought to people. He was afraid that Qiao man would become estranged from her because of this, and even more afraid that Qiao man would think that she was someone who could disregard the lives of her friends because of this Therefore, he rushed over to apologize as soon as his body recovered.

Because that night, the person who was bitten by the poisonous snake was not only Ji Yunshen, but also Lin Nancheng.

Although he had brought the antidote to the poison in advance and injected it into his body in time, due to the rapid flow of his blood and the high-altitude reaction on the plane, when the plane was intercepted by Fu Qingshan on the way back.. He still could not control the strange feeling in his body and fainted.

For the past few days, she would run to the side house at the back every day to see him, but he chose not to see her.

Seeing that he was in a much better state today, perhaps he did not see her because he felt that he did not have the face to face her!

She had been Lin Nancheng’s brother and sister for more than twenty years. Even if she could not understand all of his thoughts, she could more or less guess his thoughts.

Lin Nancheng had just turned around and had not even taken a step when he turned around and looked at Lin Yan behind him “Oh right, Yan ‘er… the next time you see Qiao man, bring me two words. The first is ‘sorry’ , the second is… thank you. If it weren’t for her, Xin Qiao… Xin Qiao would probably be very pitiful… ”

After Lin Yan heard this, she walked over with a deep smile “Alright, go back and rest. We are a family, do you still need to feel guilty towards me “When have I ever gotten into trouble since I was young? It wasn’t you who came to clean up my mess. This is your first time. Moreover, I wasn’t injured, and there weren’t any changes in my life. I just played along with you and acted in an unsuccessful play! ”

Lin Nancheng reached out and rubbed her head. “Good night, my best sister! ”

“Okay, good night! ”

…

The next day, the spring rain filled the air.

Qiao man lay on the bed and listened to the sound of the spring rain knocking on the glass window. It took her quite a while to transfer the memories of yesterday into her mind.

It was probably because she woke up in a different room, and the scenery outside the curtains was different from the sky, that she finally had a sense of reality.

Today, she was going to look for Xie Zhiqian. She was going to use what little savings she had left to invest. In other words, under Xie Zhiqian’s constant encouragement, she was going to become his partner!

In the past few years abroad, her career had taken a good start. Although it wasn’t a high salary, it was enough to maintain her and Xin Qiao’s expenses. Of course, there were still some that she needed to invest.

She lifted the blanket and pulled the curtains open. She took a look at the garden outside the apartment and the blurry world created by the drizzle.

After a while, she walked to the bathroom to wash up. She was going to send Tian Tian to kindergarten and then head straight to Xie Zhiqian’s office.

Just as she got up and walked a few steps, she heard the phone beside her bed vibrate. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Lin Yan.

She swiped the answer button and in the next second, Lin Yan’s sweet voice came from the other side. “Man Man, GO WATCH TV! ”

“What’s wrong? ”

“You’ll know when you go watch it. I’M HANGING UP! ”

“What… ”

Before Qiao man could finish her sentence, she heard a sudden blind tone coming from the phone receiver. She frowned and did not think much of it. She quickly went downstairs, walked to the SOFA in the living room, and picked up the remote control on the coffee table She turned on the television swiftly.

It was the time for the morning news in Lincheng. She had just turned on the television when the male host’s clean and magnetic voice came through.

“Our station has received the latest news. The president of the Mingyuan Group, the young leader of the JI family in Lincheng, Ji Yunshen, who is currently the commander of the 38th Group of the Special Combat Forces, has held a press conference this morning and announced that he will resign as the Minister of Defense. He has also announced that he will step down as the commander of the 38th group of the special combat forces. He will not return to the political path in the future and will focus solely on business. ”

“When this news came out, the entire forest city was in an uproar. Everyone guessed that it was because he and his ex-wife were not on good terms. Recently, there were even reports that Qiao man had moved out of the Blue Mountain villa. It seemed that the relationship between the two of them, which had already eased up, had once again hit a snag… ”

Qiao man could no longer hear what was said after that. The only thing that echoed in her mind was Ji Yunshen’s resignation as the Minister of National Defense and his resignation as a military commander!

The night before the divorce and yesterday, his behavior was more abnormal than she had imagined.

At the very least, he would suddenly choose to let go and suddenly divorce her. This was something she had never thought of!

But now, it seemed that he was using this method to prove to her that he… … loved her very much ? ?

He didn’t even hesitate to go against the expectations of his family and abandon the limitless glory that he could bring to his family?

Her hand that was holding the remote control loosened, tightened, and loosened. In the end, she chose to turn off the television!

The male host’s voice quickly disappeared from her ears, and the weight of those words gradually lessened. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were still clear and clean. There were no emotional fluctuations, as if nothing had just happened!

…

11 o’clock in the afternoon, Jingdou.

Ji Yunshen had finished his press conference and was about to rush to the military district to do the business handover. His phone vibrated nonstop, but he did not pick it up. He did not even take it out of his pocket!

By the time he finished the business handover and had a few farewell meetings, it was already 11 o’clock in the evening!

He drove a smoke-gray Bentley and quickly arrived at his residence.

The car had just turned off its engine when the phone in his pocket vibrated. He sat in the driver’s seat for a long time without moving. After the first automatic hang-up, the second one followed.

He rubbed his aching Glabella, but still took the phone out of his trouser pocket. After glancing at the caller ID, he quickly swiped the answer button.

Secretary Sun’s voice was as respectful as ever. In the darkness of the night, it sounded very low. “President Ji, the national search office just called. The results of Ms. Qiao and Ms. Xin Qiao’s DNA and the perfume and Glucocorticoids you asked me to test are out! ”

Ji Yunshen nodded. He got up and walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, opened it, and poured himself a glass of wine. After taking a big Gulp, he asked in a low and hoarse voice, “tell me, what’s the result? ”

“Miss Qiao and Miss Xin Qiao are not mother and son. also… the perfume and Glucocorticoids that you asked me to test have a drug that can cause hallucinations. It’s exactly the same drug that we found when we dealt with Uncle Zhou, the housekeeper of the old house! ”

Ji Yunshen closed his eyes and then opened them. He poured himself another glass of wine, and this time, he drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that the other side did not speak, Secretary Sun continued, “This hallucinogen can cause many hallucinations. The Old Madam passed away so quickly back then, so it’s very likely that it has something to do with the hallucinogen inside! ”

“because… just now, the inspector from the National Search Office told me that there’s a lot of it inside. It’s enough to cause a normal person to have hallucinations of being persecuted, as well as terrifying nightmares that are close to reality! ”

Ji Yunshen placed one hand on the wine cabinet and took a deep breath before saying, “okay, I got it. Send me the specific test report in a while! ”

“Okay, President Ji! ”

Secretary Sun was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, “wait… President Ji! ”

Ji Yunshen put the phone back to his ear. “Is there anything else? ”

“It’s like this, President Ji. Your mother just called me and asked me to tell you that she will take tonight’s flight to Jingdou and go to your residence… to see you! ”

After hearing this, Ji Yunshen faintly replied that he knew and then hung up the phone.

It could be imagined that his mother had suddenly come because he had held a press conference in the morning to announce his resignation and resignation.

His relationship with his father and grandfather was at a freezing point. The only person in the family who could talk about him and who he could more or less listen to was Mu Xi.

The intensity of the red wine was strong. After drinking three glasses in a row, he felt a little light-headed. It was as if the whole world was upside down and kept spinning. Even the lights that were quiet for a second immediately turned into layers of light and shadows.

As expected, it had been too long since he drank strong wine. He did not even know what it felt like to be intoxicated!

He supported himself against the wall and walked back to the master bedroom bit by bit. Before his head started to hurt even more, he chose to close his eyes and rest.

He had not really rested for the past few days. Now that the alcohol was acting up and the temperature was just right, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

He did not know how long he had slept. He only knew that when his ears kept ringing with the noise of the bell, he finally opened his eyes to take a look under the dizziness.

The clock on the wall showed that it was already 3:40 am. The person who would come at this time was probably the Mu Xi that Secretary Sun had mentioned.

He supported his head and walked to the door to open it. He did not expect that besides Mu Xi, there was also Ji Han at the door.

Mu Xi stood in front while Ji Han stood diagonally behind Mu Xi. The whole process was very quiet, like air.

“What’s wrong? We haven’t seen each other for a few days. Don’t you recognize Han ‘Er and me? ”

Ji Yunshen frowned and rubbed his aching forehead. “It’s so late. Why are you here? ”

Mu Xi gave him a look that said ‘you know the answer’ . Then, without changing her shoes, she walked in in high heels.

Ji Han followed behind Mu Xi. The difference was that she only walked in after changing her shoes!

Mu Xi first threw her handbag on the SOFA. Then, she looked at the Tall Ji Yunshen through the light of the crystal Chandelier on the ceiling “Xiao Shen, you suddenly called a press conference this morning and said that you won’t be running for the new Minister of Defense, and you won’t be taking up the position of Commander of the 38th Army Group of the Special Operations forces anymore. Tell me why? ”

Before Ji Yunshen could answer, Mu Xi added, “I think we’re both adults. You’ll definitely give me a reason other than women, right? ”

“Mom, there are some things that I have always wanted to make my own decision, whether it was five years ago or five years later. But since you want a reason other than women, and I have no other reason, then I can only tell you seriously and with certainty, no! ”

Ji Yunshen walked over and sat on the Sofa at the side. “It was for Qiao man that I resigned as the new secretary of defense. It was also because of Qiao man that I resigned as the commander of the 38th Group of the Special Combat Unit! ”

Mu Xi smiled. There was almost no impurity in her dark eyes “Xiao Shen, you’re only thirty years old now. You don’t know too much about romantic relationships. Even your mother can understand that. However, you and Qiao man are really not suitable for each other. She has her own track of growth. As for you, you have your own track of growth! ”

“Her mother has a mental illness. Her father has been living off her all his life. In the end, he also died tragically because of her. Such a woman, not to mention the prestigious JI family, even if it were any other rich and powerful family, they would not like her! ”

“Besides, she can do anything for her friend, play you like a fool, and even don’t care about your life. What is there for you to remember about a woman like her? ”

Ji Yunshen took out a cigarette box from his pocket and lit it up. Through the green and white smoke, he looked at Mu Xi and Ji Han, who were sitting diagonally opposite him.

“Mom, if relationships could be calculated so clearly, I wouldn’t be sitting here listening to your questions! ”

Ji Yunshen spread his hands and looked helpless. “Also, mom, I have made it clear that I will not let go so easily! ”

Mu Xi took a deep breath. She seemed to have a problem with his persistence, but the things that she held in her heart turned into calm emotions in her mouth.

“Xiao Shen, I’m not trying to influence your choice, I just want you to make a better choice. I know I don’t have any position to disturb your thoughts, but Xiao Shen, you have to think about us too. The JI family really CAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE FACE! ”

“Mom… ” Ji Yunshen glanced at her indifferently. His tone was still very indifferent. “I’ve already thought too much about you guys. From five years ago until now, I’ve been living for you guys. Now that Qiao man is back, I want to live for her and myself in the future! ”

Ji Yunshen’s words not only made Mu Xi’s eyes red, but also made Ji Han, who was sitting at the side, red-eyed.

She would probably still feel sad when she saw or heard the man she cared about the most, expressing his love for another woman through his words and actions.

“Xiao Shen, do you really hate dad, mom, and GRANDPA that much? ”

“Mom, I’ve never hated you guys, and I don’t plan to hate you guys in the future. But I want you guys to know that the things you guys do won’t always be flawless! ”

Mu Xi seemed to have understood Ji Yunshen’s hint. She quickly turned around and looked at Ji Han, who had a face full of tears. “Han ‘er, go outside and wait for mom. I have something to do. I want to talk to Xiao Shen alone! ”

Ji Han glanced deeply at Mu Xi and then at Ji Yunshen. She nodded and went to wait outside the door.

“If there’s anything that’s inconvenient, just say it. It’s just the two of us now! ”

Mu Xi was still casually crossing her legs. She was a woman in her fifties. She looked particularly elegant and elegant.

“Mom, man man said that five years ago, you brought Tong Qin to the battlefield in Syria and told her that Tong Qin was pregnant and that the child was mine. Is this true? ”

Mu Xi did not expect him to ask this question. Her back was obviously stiff. “Xiao Shen, is this what Qiao Man told you? ”

“Yes! ”

Mu Xi’s eyes dimmed a little, and then she slowly said, “you chose to ask me now because you believe Qiao Man’s words? ”

“It’s not that I believe her words, but she doesn’t want to lie to me at all. She wants to dump me immediately. If she had told me this earlier, she would have dumped me earlier, but she didn’t! ”

After hearing this, Mu Xi was silent for a few seconds, and then she slowly said, “since you said so, I won’t hide it anymore! ”
