Watching the mother and son walk out of the private room in a hurry, Li Lan sat still and did not move.

Xia Jian suddenly felt that Qin Xiaomin's mother was a little weird. Since they were going out to eat together, when Sun Yao and his son made excuses to leave, she should be able to say something to persuade them to stay! But she did not do so.

"Xiaomin! What do you want to eat? Tell mom and I'll add it to you." Li Lan suddenly smiled at Qin Xiaomin and said.

Qin Xiaomin glanced at Xia Jian and added a few more of her favorite dishes. Xia Jian couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the mother and son were selling in their gourds.

Li Lan was eating the food and talking happily to Qin Xiaomin, as if what happened just now had never happened. Xia Jian thought to himself, people don't care about this, what's the point of him pretending to be someone else's boyfriend?

It was so scary. When he thought of this, he relaxed, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Your name is Xia Jian? Are you really the boss of a startup group?" Li Lan suddenly asked Xia Jian. She wanted to catch Xia Jian off guard.

Xia Jian swallowed the food in his mouth, then nodded and said: "Xiao Min is right, I am Xia Jian, the general manager of the Entrepreneurship Group." Things have reached this point, Xia Jian feels that there is nothing to hide.

of.

"Well! The young man looks very energetic. He is the boss of a startup group at such a young age. He seems to have a bright future. I just don't understand. For an outstanding person like you, there should be a line of beautiful girls around you, so why would you choose

How about dating our Xiao Min?" Li Lan first praised Xia Jian, then changed the topic and went straight to the topic.

Xia Jian was most worried that Li Lan would ask this question, but he didn't expect that she would ask it anyway. Xia Jian thought for a moment and said: "Our entrepreneurial group has project investments in Donglin Township, and I accidentally came into contact with Xiao Min."

"Is it just contact between you two?" Li Lan asked again.

When Qin Xiaomin saw that if Li Lan continued to ask like this, Xia Jian would definitely tell her, so she laughed and said, "Mom! Are you asking too much? This involves our privacy."

"Okay! Give me some privacy, you only have so much to do." Li Lan's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help scolding Xia Jian.

Xia Jian looked at it and said with a smile: "Auntie, if you want to ask anything, just ask. Anyway, I will tell you everything I know."

Li Lan glanced at Qin Xiaomin, and suddenly lowered her voice and asked Xia Jiandao: "Did Xiaomin tell you what I do? Did he tell you about my family's situation?"

"No! Xiao Min didn't say it, and I was embarrassed to ask, so until now, I don't know what Auntie does." Xia Jian said with a slight smile. But what he said is really the truth.

Li Lan let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay! Let me ask you the last question. You have to tell me the truth. You can't tell any lies. Last night, Xiao Min didn't go home. Was she with you?"

When Li Lan asked this question, her two beautiful eyes stared at Xia Jian, as if she was afraid that he would lie. Xia Jian couldn't help but glance at Qin Xiaomin, but Qin Xiaomin lowered his head at this time.

"Don't look at Xiao Min, tell the truth." Although Li Lan's voice was a little small, it was full of sternness.

Xia Jian let out a long breath and said, "Xiao Min drank beer with me and drank too much. She didn't dare to go home, so she stayed in a hotel outside." Xia Jian's answer was very smooth. If you don't listen carefully, you really can't tell.

What's wrong.

"I'm asking if I'm with you?" Li Lan asked again, a bit like breaking the pot.

Xia Jian laughed and said, "I sent her to the hotel for the wine she drank with me." Xia Jian was still playing around and didn't say directly that I spent one night with Qin Xiaomin.

At this time, Li Lan's cell phone rang. She frowned, but still answered the phone. She laughed and said: "Mr. Wang! Your son said he has a stomachache, but you don't have a stomachache."

, why did you go with him?"

"Let me ask you, this is the show you are acting in. Since we have been invited to have dinner together, you shouldn't have asked Xiao Min to bring a man. Do you think this is a bit too much?" came a voice on the phone

Woman's very unhappy voice.

Li Lan said to the phone: "Whatever you want" and hung up the phone.

When Qin Xiaomin saw that the opportunity had come, she said to Li Lan: "Mom! Ignore her. What's the big deal? She has the nerve to question you?"

"Hmph! This old grandson said that his son is so outstanding, but he is nothing like this tonight. A man has no ambition at all." Li Lan couldn't help but shook his head as he spoke.

At this moment, Xia Jian's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Yao Junli. He answered the call and whispered, "I'm having dinner with my friends."

"How big of a belly do you have? You just eat all day long," Yao Junli said with a smile on the phone.

Li Lan is a smart person. She glanced at her watch and stood up. Xia Jian hurriedly said to the phone: "I will go back to the hotel in a while, just wait for me."

"What? You have an appointment so late?" Qin Xiaomin asked a little unhappy.

Xia Jian nodded and said: "A friend in the business field originally made an appointment to discuss something tonight, but it doesn't matter if I ask him to wait a little longer."

"Xiao Min! It's getting late, and we should go back. Xia Jian comes to play at home when he has time. I think we still have a lot to talk about." After Li Lan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

This woman's aura was not ordinary, and Xia Jian was a little impressed. He quickly stood up, pulled Qin Xiaomin who was in a daze, and the two of them followed Li Lan downstairs.

As a man, he should always act like a man in front of women. Xia Jian did a really good job in this regard. He stopped a car and watched Li Lan and Qin Xiaomin drive away. Only then did he realize that

One breath.

Standing on the roadside, Xia Jian couldn't help but become interested in the woman Li Lan. What did she do? Could it be that he understood it wrong? Who is the leader of the provincial government? Could it be that Li Lan, Qin Xiaomin's mother, was not

Her father?

The more Xia Jian thought about it, the more likely it was that he felt it was possible. With this question in mind, Xia Jian returned to Yao Junli's hotel. In the room, Yao Junli had already changed into pajamas and looked like she was about to sleep.

"It's not even eleven o'clock and you're ready to go to bed? Isn't it a little too early?" Xia Jian chuckled and opened the bathroom door.

Yao Junli smiled at Xia Jian and said: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do alone, so I might as well go to bed early. It's like you have endless beauties to see all day long."

The bathtub was filled with water, and there were a few roses floating on the water. It seemed that Yao Junli had prepared it for him. When Xia Jian was happy, he took off his clothes and quickly got in. As soon as he lay down in the bathtub, he felt like

A feeling of comfort suddenly hit my whole body.

"Hey! Is there someone named Li Lan among the leaders of this provincial government?" Xia Jian shouted outside the door.

"Well! He's a big shot, what's wrong?" Yao Junli responded and then asked.

Xia Jian chuckled and said, "Nothing, just a casual question."

When Xia Jian came out of the bathroom, Yao Junli was sitting on the sofa wearing attractive pajamas. There were two goblets on the coffee table in front of her, and half a glass of red wine had been poured into the cups.

"Come! Have a drink with me." Yao Junli raised her glass and said with a smile to Xia Jian.

Xia Jian nodded, walked over and sat down next to Yao Junli's soft body. He picked up the red wine on the coffee table and said with a smile: "You are really a person who knows how to enjoy life. At least you will not treat yourself badly." Xia Jian

While joking, he raised his glass and clinked it with Yao Junli, then took a sip.

"Well! Drinking is very fashionable now. It's not like before when I gave you a glass of red wine and you drank it as if it were beer." After Yao Junli finished speaking, she smiled sweetly.

Xia Jian reached out and put his arms around Yao Junli's shoulders. Yao Junli fell into Xia Jian's arms. Suddenly, Xia Jian frowned and asked, "Didn't you attend He Jing's wedding? How is her boyfriend?

?"

"Hey! How do you say this? As the saying goes, carrots and eggplants have their own merits. Her boyfriend is a demobilized soldier. He is well-behaved, very Zhou Zheng, and an honest person! Anyway, this is how it feels to me." Yao Junli

Said with a slight smile.

Xia Jian nodded, sat up straight and said, "I hope God will be kind and He Jing's illness will not relapse again, so that they can start and end well as a couple."

"Hey! You can do whatever you want! Just the day before yesterday, He Jing's mother secretly called me and said that He Jing's illness has recurred again, and it seems to be more serious than before," Yao Junli said with a sigh.

When Xia Jian heard this, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He asked eagerly: "Then you mean He Jing is hospitalized again?"

"Yes! So I have to rush back to Pingdu City tomorrow. I am her best classmate, and she cannot be without me at this time." After Yao Junli finished speaking, she drank all the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Xia Jian glanced at her, drank the red wine in his glass, stood up, took out his mobile phone from his clothes, and called Ouyang Hong.

After a long time, the phone was connected, and Ouyang Hong's hoarse voice came from inside: "What? You didn't know to call me until you couldn't sleep?"

"That's not true. I just want to ask you. He Jing is hospitalized again. Do you know about this?" Xia Jian laughed and asked softly.

Ouyang Hong took a breath and said: "I'm in the hospital. I was beside He Jing when the phone rang just now. I was afraid of disturbing her, so I walked to the corridor to answer the call."

"How is she doing now?" Xia Jian asked a little eagerly.

Ouyang Hong took a long breath and said: "The situation is very bad. The cancer cells have spread and metastasized. The doctor said she doesn't have much time." When Ouyang Hong said this, she was crying.

"How about sending her to the provincial capital? Mr. Yao and I can contact the best hospital for her," Xia Jian said hurriedly.

Ouyang Hong sighed and said: "It's useless. Her disease is diagnosed by doctors in the provincial capital. They all said it was a miracle, because according to He Jing's medical history, she has broken the precedent by being able to reach this day."
