"We are now separated." When he met Xia Zhiping, Lin Xiaotang did not expect that Xia Zhiping would say such a sentence when they met, nor did he expect that the relationship between the two had deteriorated to this point.

"You..." Lin Xiaotang stared into Xia Zhiping's eyes. He felt in his heart that Xia Zhiping had not changed much from when she was in school. She was still the girl who was ignorant of the world, simple, liked romance, and would even shed tears for a spring rain. , "What on earth do you have with him?"

Xia Zhiping smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass in front of her and was about to drink it all, but Lin Xiaotang snatched the glass away. Xia Zhiping looked at him blankly, "Xiao Qi, don't I even have the right to drink a glass of wine?" Is it done?"

Lin Xiaotang hesitated again and again and returned the wine glass to Xia Zhiping. Xia Zhiping grabbed it and poured the full glass of wine into her stomach, and then her tears fell uncontrollably.

Lin Xiaotang knew Xia Zhiping's character very well. He knew that the woman in front of him was not the kind of woman who was flirtatious, nor did she have a fickle personality. She and Yuan Jianfeng could be said to be a couple who had gone through adversity together, but now, how could they It will become like this.

This is not Yuan Jianfeng's fault. Lin Xiaotang thinks that no man can analyze this situation calmly from his perspective. No one can tolerate such unclear relations between his woman and other men. relation.

Yes, Yuan Jianfeng used some means to pursue Xia Zhiping back then, but so much time has passed, and Lin Xiaotang really has no idea about what happened back then. Although there is still some grudge, it was only against Yuan Jianfeng. It was just some of the disgraceful means that Yuan Jianfeng used back then. What's more, Lin Xiaotang also clearly felt that Yuan Jianfeng still had true feelings for Xia Zhiping, including that he was now hanging out with Fanny. Lin Xiaotang guessed that this was just Yuan Jianfeng's. Jianfeng vented his anger after learning the news.

"Zhi Ping, I still say what I said back then. I won't have any complaints against you two about what happened back then. This is my sincere words. In the past, when I was young and always acted on my own initiative, let's make it clear today. .”

"Emotional matters are a matter between two people. Being loved by others has nothing to do with it. I pursued you back then, but you didn't show any expression to me. This proves that the person in your heart is not me. This I have been thinking about the truth for many years. It was not until I saw Jiayi again that I fully thought about it. Yuan Jianfeng has shortcomings. He is selfish, arrogant, likes to care about things, and likes to play tricks, but this does not prevent him from being sincere. I love you."

Xia Zhiping wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her fair face, and nodded with deep feeling.

Lin Xiaotang continued: "Not from the perspective of friends, just from the perspective of our acquaintance, I don't want you to make any mistakes. I have said these words before, and to this day, whether you believe it or not, I still do Such thoughts.”

Xia Zhiping nodded repeatedly, and suddenly seemed to understand some of the meaning of Lin Xiaotang's words, "Xiao Qi, can you advise Jianfeng, Li Shiqun and I really have nothing to do with each other. I always thought he was a book friend in the bookstore. Usually we are just We met occasionally, and then we exchanged letters, and he mentioned some less solemn words in his letters."

Xia Zhiping's face turned a little red, "But, he was rejected by me. I didn't think much about it, let alone that he was Jianfeng's boss and the person in charge of No. 76."

Lin Xiaotang nodded slowly, "I believe it."

Lin Xiaotang's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, while Xia Zhiping looked at him hopefully. After a long time, Lin Xiaotang spoke again, "I will try, but I don't guarantee that he will listen to me. I am still the same I suggest that if you are willing to leave, no matter where you want to go, I will help you make arrangements, as long as you can stay away from Shanghai, a place of right and wrong."

Lin Xiaotang's words gave Xia Zhiping great hope. In today's world, Yuan Jianfeng is her only relative, and it can be said that it is also the only support for her to survive in this world. After repeatedly expressing her gratitude, Lin Xiaotang asked the men outside the door to first Send her back.

Watching Xia Zhiping get into the car downstairs, Lin Xiaotang lit a cigarette, turned around, and said to Santos's suite: "She has left, come out."

Yuan Jianfeng walked out of the suite with a complicated look on his face. Lin Xiaotang threw him a cigarette, and he held it between his fingers and poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

Lin Xiaotang looked at him with a complicated expression, "You and I both know Zhiping's personality, and everything she tells is the truth."

Yuan Jianfeng licked his lips and shook his head, "Xiao Qi, we have all changed, you just don't feel it yourself. Zhi Ping has also changed. I have been with her for six years. Do you think I understand her?" , or you."

Facing Yuan Jianfeng's question, Lin Xiaotang could only choose to remain silent.

Yuan Jianfeng put the cigarette holder in his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it, "I can only say that you don't understand Zhi Ping very well." Yuan Jianfeng suddenly smiled, "Maybe you also know that our Yuan family used to live in Nanjing and Shanghai. We are also a well-known family, and the Ziping family was originally a scholarly family. If our family had not suffered a sudden change, I am afraid we would not be where we are today. Zhiping is a person who is very demanding about the quality of life, but since we have fallen into decline , although she followed me relentlessly, I knew that she actually hated this kind of life in her heart. In fact, this was the main reason why I was determined to make a name for myself again in Shanghai. I didn’t want my Women look down on me and don’t want my women to suffer hardships with me.”

Yuan Jianfeng's eyes suddenly became moist, and bits and pieces of his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind. It is undeniable that although it was poor at that time, the life was very sweet. Although it seems now that behind that kind of life there is Hidden are two restless hearts.

"Zhi Ping likes the current quality of life very much. She once said to me that if I could stay with her every day, then this life would be perfect." Yuan Jianfeng spread his hands and looked at Lin Xiaotang with a wry smile. , "You see, she is such a person who pursues perfection. She not only requires a high standard of living, but also has an equivalent emotional life. But you know, people like me, if they don't spend time outside every day, Who will think highly of you, not only as a colleague, but also as a person with endless entertainment."

Lin Xiaotang remained silent.

Yuan Jianfeng chuckled, "So, I'm not at home every day, and she lacks emotional comfort, so she becomes what she is today."

Lin Xiaotang wanted to refute Yuan Jianfeng's point of view, but couldn't find the right words.

Lin Xiaotang sighed, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Yuan Jianfeng. The two drank until the glasses were dry, "It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, but it is difficult to be a good person."

Lin Xiaotang looked at Yuan Jianfeng, "However, I always hope that you can return to Zhi Ping. No matter what, her feelings for you have never changed."

Yuan Jianfeng shook his head again, "You are wrong again, Xiaoqi. What I just said is that we have all changed. It's not just Zhiping who has changed, I have also changed."

Yuan Jianfeng simply took a glass of wine on the table and drank a big sip. The scarlet wine spilled on his chest, which made his voice even louder, "Why are you so famous now, while I am not?" I am destined to achieve nothing, and our Yuan family, my father, and my second uncle have high hopes for me. All these are constantly beating me to make a comeback. No matter I am Chinese or Japanese, who can make me rise to the top? I will sacrifice my life for whomever I want, and I don’t care what the floods are like behind them, but now, what I want is success.”

Lin Xiaotang's eyes suddenly shone with cold light, "But this is a road of no return."

Yuan Jianfeng smiled self-deprecatingly, "No one of us should laugh at the other. You take your Yangguan Road and I'll cross my single-plank bridge. At least now, we still have a common enemy, right?"

Yuan Jianfeng leaned over and slapped Lin Xiaotang's hand hard, "I don't have no feelings for Zhi Ping. I have already made plans for her. Even if something happens to me, it will not involve her. I have prepared an escape route for her, maybe one day."

Yuan Jianfeng showed his drunkenness and pointed at Lin Xiaotang, "Maybe one day, we will become rivals. I mean maybe. Anyway, I am relieved, because even if I lose, you won't do anything to Ping. Right?" Yuan Jianfeng burst into laughter, showing a sense of pleasure that his conspiracy had succeeded.

Lin Xiaotang smiled, "It doesn't matter what the world is like. It doesn't matter if you have any plans ahead. Even if the two of us fight to the death in the future, the one who wins will be responsible for letting Zhi Ping live peacefully for the rest of his life." , okay."

Yuan Jianfeng laughed non-stop, raised his wine bottle and touched Lin Xiaotang's wine glass, "I knew that my biggest opponent in this life is you, and you are the person who understands me best."

The two people laughed at each other, and after a while, several empty wine bottles were placed at their feet.

"Li Shiqun is still in Shanghai. You have made him suffer such a loss this time, and he will not let it go." Yuan Jianfeng, whose eyes were a little hazy, spoke clearly.

"You don't have to worry about it. It's not easy for Li Shiqun to touch me, and he's not stupid. The Japanese are keeping a close eye on him at this time. He won't make so many big moves in Shanghai anymore." Lin Xiaotang is not stupid either.

"Haha, I forgot that you are also a ruthless person who holds grudges. I worry about this too much. I'm afraid it's Li Shiqun who will be unlucky." Yuan Jianfeng changed the topic.

"What about you? Japanese food is not delicious. Yazawa Shinichi has now become a eunuch and his actions are becoming more and more vicious. You are so confident that he is not taking advantage of you." Lin Xiaotang asked back.

Yuan Jianfeng snorted coldly and stopped talking. He drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp and placed it heavily on the table. He stood up, but the world was spinning. He finally managed to hold on to the wall and smiled at Lin Xiaotang, " I had a great time tonight, thank you for the wine."

Lin Xiaotang lazily raised his hand, "Don't forget, we will really no longer be friends next time we meet."

Yuan Jianfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Did you still consider me your friend before today?"

Lin Xiaotang drank alone without saying a word.
