Facing Qiao Zhenliang, Zhang Yang inevitably remembered the matter of Guan Wan's Immortal. It turned out that Yan Guotao was not the one who betrayed him. There were not many people who knew about it, so Zhang Yang locked all the doubts on Qiao Zhenliang. Zhang Yang had never understood why Qiao Zhenliang took the initiative to expose this matter? Is it just to embarrass Song Huaiming? Many of Qiao Zhenliang's practices are not something that Zhang Yang can understand thoroughly at present.

What Zhang Yang didn't expect was that Qiao Zhenliang actually brought up this matter: "I asked Mengyuan to return that "The Inscription on the Humble Room" to you, why don't you accept it?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Secretary Qiao, a gentleman does not win over what he loves. I have no interest in collecting it. Therefore, Huang Xianyun's calligraphy is worthless to me, but it means very much to Secretary Qiao."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "We agreed at the beginning that the calligraphy was lent for me to appreciate. It is easy to borrow and repay, so how can I borrow and repay things without returning them?"

Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Qiao has returned it..." He paused deliberately and then continued: "I don't want it!"

Qiao Zhenliang showed a secret smile on the corner of his lips, and Zhang Yang was much smarter than he thought. Qiao Zhenliang narrowed his eyes and looked at the increasingly intense sunshine, and said softly: "Recently, few comrades from Pinghai have come to see me."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "If Pengfei hadn't come to me today, I wouldn't have come."

Qiao Zhenliang nodded and said, "Understand." Tea will be cold as soon as people leave. Now he is no longer the secretary of the Pinghai Provincial Party Committee, and his family is in a political downturn. How can we expect others to treat him as before? Qiao Zhenliang sees this thoroughly.

Zhang Yang said: "But I don't come because you are no longer the secretary of the provincial party committee of Pinghai. I think you want to be quiet recently and don't have the mood to see me."

Qiao Zhenliang laughed: "Zhang Yang, do I look like I am in a bad mood? The changes in work are very common. If I don't even have this adaptability, how can I do my job well?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I only realized what a broad mind means when I saw Secretary Qiao. No wonder people say that the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach!" This guy took the opportunity to flatter Qiao Zhenliang. Although he knew that the horse was unnecessary, this sentence made Qiao Zhenliang very happy.

Shi Wei and Qiao Mengyuan came back together. When they saw Zhang Yang at their home, Shi Wei shouted excitedly: "Zhang Yang, why are you here?"

The Grand Official Zhang smiled and said, "I just came to the capital and came here to visit Mr. Qiao and Secretary Qiao." His eyes were on Qiao Mengyuan's face. After a while, Qiao Mengyuan's face was a pathological pale, and her beautiful eyes also lost the clarity of the past. She was deeply melancholy. Qiao Mengyuan forced a smile to Zhang Yang and greeted him: "Here you come!"

Zhang Yang nodded, and he patted the back of his head: "Oh, I'm just chatting, I forgot the purpose of my coming. Secretary Qiao, I'll get you medicine."

He stood up and said to Qiao Mengyuan and Shi Wei: "Mengyuan, Shi Wei, you two are fine, drive me there!"

Shi Wei said, "Let my sister accompany you, I still have some serious business."

In fact, Zhang Daren didn't plan to let her follow him at all. The reason why he proposed was to use Shiwei to cover up and not to expose his true purpose.

Qiao Mengyuan nodded, Zhang Yang went out with her to get on Qiao Mengyuan's Cadillac Off-road Vehicle. After the car started, Zhang Yang looked at Qiao Mengyuan's side and said with some distress: "You have lost weight!"

Qiao Mengyuan didn't say anything, the car slowly drove forward, Zhang Yang mustered up his courage, and slowly stretched out his big hand, covering Qiao Mengyuan's hand holding the blocking handle. He obviously felt the trembling from Qiao Mengyuan's body, but Qiao Mengyuan did not resist, allowing his palm to warm the back of his hand.

Zhang Yang said: "Why don't you answer my phone? Why do you choose to turn off the phone?"

Qiao Mengyuan whispered: "I want to be quiet."

"Man lives in this world and many things cannot escape."

Qiao Mengyuan smiled indifferently and said, "As long as you want to escape, you have to speak."

Zhang Yang said: "What are you escaping?"

Qiao Mengyuan said: "Everything!"

"Including me?" Zhang Daren's eyes were aggressive. Qiao Mengyuan wanted to avoid it, but the narrow space inside the car left her nowhere to escape.

Qiao Mengyuan said: "I heard that you and Yanran are about to get married, congratulations!"

Zhang Yang nodded: "Thank you! I have also heard some news about you."

Qiao Mengyuan gently broke free from his palm and said calmly: "It seems that we have learned to communicate through others. I wonder if this is a kind of progress or a retreat?"

Zhang Yang said: "Since you don't like it, why should you force yourself?"

Qiao Mengyuan stepped on the brakes and the pharmacy arrived.

It took only five minutes for Zhang Daren to match all the medicinal herbs. He wanted to find a place to have a good talk with Qiao Mengyuan, but Qiao Mengyuan refused. So their communication could only be limited to the car. Zhang Yang suddenly remembered the time after Xu Jiayong died. Qiao Mengyuan also had this attitude of resisting others from thousands of people, but this time it seemed to be more determined than last time.

When it comes to Qiao Mengyuan's issue, Zhang Daren always showed some confusion. He did not take it or move it, nor did he dare to unscrupulously spread his moral theory. Because he did not dare to make promises easily, he became lacking in confidence, but he could not watch Qiao Mengyuan walk into the abyss. In fact, in Zhang Daren's view, no grandson except himself was able to give Qiao Mengyuan happiness. Even if Qiao Mengyuan might have chosen the Zhou family, that person was his sworn brother. Qiao Mengyuan's recent situation made him worried. He was eager to find a way to Qiao Mengyuan's soul, but unfortunately he didn't know where to enter.

On the way back, Qiao Mengyuan adopted the tactic of silence and right. No matter how Zhang Yang talked to her, she was too lazy to deal with it. Zhang Daren could only stare at him.

When I came to Qiao's house, I first applied medicine to Qiao Zhenliang. I stayed at Qiao's house for a meal at noon. I wanted to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Qiao Banwei, but unfortunately, because Qiao Mengyuan was deliberately escaping him, I never found a good opportunity.

After the meal, Mr. Qiao called Zhang Yang to his room to ask for some health issues. Since the frontal attack was not good, Mr. Zhang could only choose the roundabout tactics. He deliberately said to Mr. Qiao: "Old Qiao, I heard that Mengyuan is going to get engaged?"

Old Qiao looked a little surprised: "Why don't I know?"

Now it was Mr. Zhang's turn to be stunned. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I just heard from others, Mr. Qiao, don't bother me to gossip."

"Who told you? Mengyuan told you?"

Zhang Yang said: "No, I just saw that she was in a bad mood recently."

Mr. Qiao said: "Zhang Yang, you and Meng Yuan are both good friends. I hope you will take this opportunity to come to Beijing to enlighten her." Mr. Qiao sighed and said: "I also noticed that her condition is very bad recently and has been worried about her. However, my granddaughter is a strong-willed person, even if there are big things in my heart, I will bear it alone."

Zhang Yang nodded: "Let me go back and let me ask them to go out together to relax."

Old Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, it's best to go out together to have fun. Young people should learn to relieve stress."

At the suggestion of Mr. Qiao, Zhang Yang, Qiao Pengfei, Qiao Mengyuan and Shi Wei went out to relax for a few afternoons. Qiao Pengfei proposed to go to Xishan Horse Farm, which is a sports club that has emerged recently. In addition to horse racing, there are many other sports events in shooting.

After several young people left, veteran Qiao Zhenliang called to his room and first cared about his son's arm.

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "Zhang Yang's medicine is very effective. As soon as he applied it, he felt a fever in the affected area and it didn't hurt at all."

Old Qiao said: "Zhang Yang is a strange man and rarely see such a young man."

Qiao Zhenliang said: "It's really good."

Mr. Qiao said: "Actually, I had the idea of ​​letting him be my grandson and son-in-law back then. I can see that Mengyuan likes him very much!"

Qiao Zhenliang raised his head and looked at his father's Min Qiang and seemed a little surprised. The bystander was clear. It was not surprising that Meng Yuan could see that Zhang Yang had a lot of eyes. In fact, Qiao Zhenliang also knew who the person his daughter really liked was. He knew very well. Qiao Zhenliang said: "It's a pity that Zhang Yang is already the son-in-law of the Song family. It would be better not to mention such things."

Mr. Qiao said: "Recently, many people have been talking about the marriage between Mengyuan and the boy from the Zhou family."

Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "Su Jianyang's wife is enthusiastic. She took the initiative to contact her. You also understand that Zhou Xingguo's child is considered a good example among young people. Our two families have the same conditions, so I have no reason to object. These two children have met each other. As for their future development, they should let it go. It is still far from getting married."

Old Qiao's deep eyes were always staring at Qiao Zhenliang's eyes, which made Qiao Zhenliang feel a little restless. He said awkwardly: "Dad, what do you want to say?"

Old Qiao said: "No one's life can always be above the peak. There will be troughs when there are peaks. However, no matter at any time, you must keep a clear mind and understand one thing. The key to solving the problem lies in yourself, not others. I don't know how Meng Yuan feels about the Zhou boy, but at this time, if we marry the Zhou family, others will think that this is a kind of marriage. It is our Qiao family that has climbed them. It is equivalent to proactively announcing to everyone that we are going downhill and trying to use this method to reverse the decline. Could it be that you, Qiao Zhenliang, really reached the end of the road? Has it reached the point where you need to betray your daughter in exchange for political benefits?"

Qiao Zhenliang was covered in sweat, and his face turned red: "Dad, I don't!"

Old Qiao said: "I will not interfere with Mengyuan's feelings, but I do not allow anyone to make choices for her. Her future must be outlined by her. Pengju made a miss. Mengyuan gave up all her career without hesitation. With such courage and dedication, no other one of the many children of our Qiao family can do it. She is my best granddaughter! I must want her to be happy!"
