"Is this important?" Liang Jian asked rhetorically.

Old Tang nodded: "Of course it's important." If you just looked for your friend in Ningzhou, then I advise you, it's best to ask your friend to stop immediately and don't look down. Otherwise, the consequences may not be what you want to see. ”

As soon as Old Tang said this, Liang Jian was even more sure that they must know something. He immediately became angry, he didn't understand, Hu Xiaoying's incident, no matter what the truth was, why did they hide it from him?

Liang Jian was about to speak, but Old Tang took the lead and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you the truth......"

"Old Tang......" Tang Yi seemed to want to stop it, but as soon as he spoke, he was stopped by Old Tang raising his hand. Old Tang continued to say to Liang Jian: "However, you must immediately ask your friend to stop. ”

Liang Jian stared at him for a while and said, "Okay, I promise you." But first, you have to tell me the truth. ”

Old Tang nodded, then he looked at Tang Yi and said, "Come on, you know this matter better." ”

Tang Yi glanced at Old Tang, then looked at Liang Jian, and then sighed, "Before I talk about this truth, I want to tell you that the reason why we decided to hide it from you is because we are worried that you will do extreme things on impulse. Lao Tang and I both know how much weight this woman Hu Xiaoying has in your heart. So, if you want to listen to me, you have to make sure that you can't be impulsive, you have to stay calm. ”

Liang Jian took a deep breath and said, "Okay!"

In fact, there is no need for Tang Yi to say, Liang Jian will no longer be impulsive in this matter. The relationship between him and Hu Xiaoying has long been different. The reason why he cares so much about the truth of this matter is partly for the sake of the past, and partly for himself.

Tang Yi said everything at that time, not in great detail, but everything Liang Jian wanted to know, except for the most **oss behind the scenes, a certain leader in Jiangzhong Province. Tang Yi did not name him.

Liang Jian asked him, "Is it Qiao Renliang?"

Tang Yi shook his head and said, "Qiao Renliang not only framed her, but also helped her. If it weren't for him, Hu Xiaoying wouldn't have been able to get out of that incident so quickly. ”

"Who's that?" Liang Jian asked.

Tang Yi didn't plan to tell Liang Jian anymore.

Liang Jian suddenly became a little irritable again. He couldn't understand why Tang Yi still wanted to hide it from him now.

But Tang Yi told him: What kind of place is officialdom, I think you must know it. It is not difficult to guess what kind of result a woman with no background and a little bit of beauty will have in this kind of place. In fact, if Hu Xiaoying was not so strong, she might not have come to that point. But she was too strong, she wanted to climb up too much. Once your ambitions are revealed, there will always be people who do what they like, and the next thing is just waiting for you to be trapped. At that time, Hu Xiaoying was indeed framed, but she was not completely without responsibility.

This is not what Liang Jian wants to hear. Regardless of whether Hu Xiaoying is responsible or not, as long as she is framed, then she has the right to justice.

If there is no more justice in this world, then what is there in this world for people to fight for?

Liang Jian also wanted to ask Tang Yi again. Old Tang, who had never spoken, opened his mouth: "Liang Jian, don't ask again." The reason why Tang Yi didn't say that person's name was also for your good. ”

Liang Jian looked at him and said, "If it's really good for me, why don't you ask me what I want?"

Old Tang looked at him, was silent for a while, and said, "Because sometimes, you may not know clearly whether what you want is right or wrong." ”

"What is right? Is it right to condone those who ignore the king's law and let them continue to behave in a misguided manner?" Liang Jian was aggressive.

Old Tang's expression sank suddenly, and he said, "Do you think I'm such a person?

Liang Jian didn't speak. He wanted to say no, but another voice spoke out in his heart against it.

Old Tang was a little injured, he sighed, and said, "Liang Jian, Tang Yi and I are not omnipotent. There are times when we can't do what we want. I'll admit that I was a little selfish at the time. I hope that the relationship between you and Hu Xiaoying can be completely drawn from now on through that incident. So, there are some things that I didn't let Tang Yi tell you. However, for Hu Xiaoying, I have done everything I can. Moreover, the result at that time was the best for Hu Xiaoying. Do you think that if something like that happens, she will be able to go back to Jiangzhong and continue to be her propaganda minister? She is just a female cadre with no background, and there are so many civil servants in China, there are not many more of her, and no less of her. ”

Old Tang's words made Liang Jian's heart ripple a lot.

"Liang Jian, listen to me, let it go. You already know the truth, enough is enough. Old Tang said earnestly.

Liang Jian lowered his head and was silent, his heart was extremely complicated.

At this time, Tang Yi spoke: "Liang Jian, I hope that when you want to avenge this Hu Xiaoying, think of Xiang Jin, think of your two children." I don't know, who you asked for help in Ningzhou. Is that person married? Has he had children? Have you ever thought about him and his family? Liang Jian, people can't be too selfish. The past always has to pass, you can't pull everyone and pay for your past with you!"

Tang Yi's words were like a knife. Sharp, sharp.

Is he selfish?

Liang Jian asked himself, what he wanted was a negative answer, but the voice in his heart answered him with a one-word answer.

Liang Jian is selfish.

He smiled bitterly, laughed for a while, took out his mobile phone, and sent a text message to Yao Yong: "Hu's matter, don't check it anymore." ”

Yao Yong didn't send him a message back, and Liang Jian's mind was on the word selfishness, and he didn't think much about it.

He put away his phone, looked up at Old Tang, and said, "I've already sent a text message to my friend in Ningzhou, so that he doesn't have to check it again." ”

When Old Tang heard this, his expression was much more relaxed. He looked at Liang Jian and said, "Don't worry, if there is a chance in the future, I will find a way to give her an explanation." ”

Liang Jian nodded, and then got up: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first." ”

"I'll give it to you. Old Tang said immediately.

Liang Jian shook his head with a reluctant smile and said, "No, I'll take a taxi back by myself, it's convenient." ”

Old Tang said that he would send him out, but Liang Jian also stopped him. He wanted to walk by himself.

Out of the hotel, a person walked under the dim street lamp, the light hit his face, showing a little weak sadness.

He didn't want to go back, but he didn't know where to go. Stopped, looked at the traffic on the street, and the dark night sky in the distance, like a sad curtain, rolled towards him.

Liang Jian finally couldn't hold back and dialed Hu Xiaoying's phone.

"Where are you, I want to see you. As soon as the phone rang, Liang Jian didn't wait for Hu Xiaoying to answer, and said.

In the box of a certain hotel, Hu Xiaoying was eating and drinking with several business owners. Hearing Liang Jian's voice, she was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, she immediately covered her mobile phone, and then said sorry to these business owners, and walked out in a hurry.

"What's wrong with you?" Hu Xiaoying asked with some concern.

Liang Jian took a deep breath and asked her, "Is it inconvenient now?"

Hu Xiaoying hesitated for a moment and said, "You tell me the address, and I'll come to find you." ”

Liang Jian looked around and said, "I don't know where I am, I'll come to you." ”

Hu Xiaoying thought about it and reported an address to Liang Jian. It is a hotel.

Hu Xiaoying has no home in Beijing, she is like a piece of duckweed, floating in Huajing City. It's not that she doesn't have money, she just doesn't want to buy a house, and for her, an empty house with no one, even if her name is written, can't give her a sense of home.

She wants people, not houses.

But the person she wanted, from that day on, was destined to never be her again.

Hu Xiaoying sat in the car and rushed to the hotel, when she had many plans in her heart, but in the end, she was still ruthless and crossed out these plans one by one.

Tang Yi said that she and he could never go back to the past, which she couldn't deny.

Liang Jian leaned against the window of the car, watching the car slowly circle the flower bed and drive up the gentle slope, and he saw her stepping out of a green taxi, her bumpy figure wrapped in a form-fitting skirt, looking so graceful.

The years on her as if they couldn't leave traces, she was still so moving.

It's just that......

Liang Jian closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were much calmer.

The car stopped, and he stepped down, hurried to catch up, and chased her as she was walking towards the elevator.

She turned her head to see him, was surprised, and said with some embarrassment, "You came quickly!"

Liang Jian smiled reluctantly.

Entering the elevator, neither of them spoke, standing in the elevator at a distance of half a meter, each listening to their own breathing, and each struggling with countless different voices in their hearts.

Finally entered the room, Hu Xiaoying asked him to sit a little restrainedly, and went to boil water to prepare tea. Liang Jian looked at her walking back and said, "Don't be busy, I have something I want to ask you." ”

Hu Xiaoying stopped, paused, put down the kettle, walked to the sofa opposite Liang Jian, and sat down.

"What do you want to ask me?" Hu Xiaoying lowered her head and asked, her inner intuition had already told her that the next question would definitely not be a simple question.

Liang Jian took a deep breath, looked at her, stared into her eyes, and asked, "At that time, my father sent you to the United States, did you do it voluntarily?"

Hu Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes." I volunteered. ”

Liang Jian paused for a moment and asked again, "Why didn't you tell me the truth of the matter in the first place?"

Hu Xiaoying was stunned again, and then she smiled bitterly and said, "What can you tell you?"

"At least I can give you justice!" Liang Jian replied immediately.

Hu Xiaoying looked at him, a complicated expression flashed across her face, and after a while, she suddenly laughed with a bright smile. After a long time, she said, "Thank you, Liang Jian! I couldn't let go of some things before, but when I heard your words today, I think I can let go of those things." Tang Yi is right, I really should let go. You don't belong to me, you deserve better. ”

Liang Jian was stunned, her smile at this moment was like many years ago. The scenes of the past, like a movie, are like flowing water.

She said she put it down.

And what about him?

His depressed mood, in her smile, gradually relaxed and brightened. She put it down, and he couldn't let it go.

Old Tang is right, the past must be let pass after all, and he can't drag others to be burdened by his past.
