Spring Again

It was almost half past nine when I returned to the small villa. There was no one in the house, and the upstairs and downstairs were empty. Jiang Xu was away and went out to do errands. Before leaving, he sent a message to Ye Xiyan, telling him that he should be back late, so don't worry.

Ye Xiyan went in and checked on WeChat. Before receiving the news, he took the initiative to send one to the other party, telling Jiang Xu that he had brought something to eat, and took a picture and sent it.

Jiang Xu quickly replied, saying that he was already on the way.

What I ate was some home-cooked dishes, which the old couple made by themselves. Except for the stewed dishes, the rest were relatively light, which matched Jiangxu's taste.

Jiang Xu hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he just made up a meal.

All the dishes are reheated, and Ye Xiyan accompanies the other party to eat again, chatting while eating.

"Does it at home?" Jiang Xu asked, peeling a salted egg yolk lobster tail and putting it in Ye Xiyan's bowl.

Ye Xiyan nodded, pointing to the introduction of the dishes, "My mother made the stewed vegetables, and this little fried pork, the rest is my dad's credit."

"Uncle and Auntie's cooking skills are very good, very delicious." Jiang Xu said softly, and then asked about her going home tonight.

Ye Xiyan stroked two disposable gloves on, and consciously peeled the shrimp to feed Jiang Xu, throwing one into his mouth from time to time, talking slowly. I went home only once, and nothing happened. I couldn’t tell what I could talk about. What I could talk about was nothing more than related things. For example, what about the old couple, and when they brought their young niece back to China, they probably stayed in China for a couple of years. Months.

Jiang Xu talked about his little niece again.

"She asked you, she can talk more than my dad." Ye Xiyan said.

Jiang Xu opened his mouth to eat and accepted the feeding, "Ask me what?"

"Ask you where you are, can you go and play with her." Ye Xiyan replied, mentioning the little girl, she had a headache, and she couldn't cope with it in the afternoon. The child was too skinny and strange, with a small mouth. Ba couldn't stop, always asking questions.

Jiang Xu was funny, "You talked about me first?"

"No," Ye Xiyan said, and took a sip of water to feed her, "She mentioned it, but she still remembers you."

Jiang Xu caught the cup, drank it himself and then fed Ye Xiyan in turn.

Ye Xiyan blinked deliberately, learning the tone of a child, and pretending to say: "Be nice and pretty sister..."

Jiang Xu prodded the man with his fingertips to stop it.

After eating two meals a night, I panicked after falling into bed. Ye Xiyan became honest at night and turned around a few times, except for hugging Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu touched the man's stomach, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh," Ye Xiyan moved squeamishly, resting on Jiang Xu's chest, "really full."

"Eat less next time, don't hold on." Jiang Xu whispered, soothing and rubbing it up.

"I didn't hold on, I just ate a little more." Ye Xiyan snorted twice, lying on his back, squinting his eyes with the white light on top of his head.

The days after returning to the city were leisurely and there was nothing important to do. For the first few days, I basically stayed in the small villa, and occasionally went out to stroll when I had time.

Jiang Xu didn't return to the hospital, and there was no news from the hospital, but Zhang Xianming called several times, and Jiang Dancheng also called several times. Both of them were looking for her, and there seemed to be something important. But Jiang Xu was calm and answered the phone, but would not answer any request.

Ye Xiyan didn't know this, so he didn't ask anything, and was busy dealing with Meng Wendong and Ye Lizhao. The old couple didn't know that she lived here, and thought she was going to mess around again, so they sent a message to ask if they had time.

Two days later, Ye Xiyan went back again, and Meng Wendong also invited Zhou Yan and Charles, and a group of people gathered for dinner.

The old couple thoughtfully prepared a large table of dishes and greeted everyone warmly. However, this time Ye Xiyan and Zhou Yan were not as close as before, and they both secretly moved a distance apart, especially Ye Xiyan. She took Charles as a shield, and deliberately sat farther away when eating, not close to Zhou Yan or close. The old couple listened to them talking.

Meng Wendong asked everyone about the current situation at the table, and took great care of Zhou Yan. As always, he mentioned Zhou's parents, and occasionally Ye Xiyan.

Zhou Yan will pick up the previous topic, and skip it later. Chen Jiangchao and the three of them would still help fight haha, and they didn't know if they were helping Zhou Yan or Ye Xiyan.

Meng Wendong was careful and noticed Zhou Yan's emotions, so he didn't say much. She couldn't help but recite a few words when she sent her away later, and she didn't quite understand what happened to Zhou Yan. She couldn't ask Ye Xiyan the reason, so she confided to Ye Lizhao, and said thoughtfully: "Ayan shouldn't have a girlfriend, it looks a bit like that."

The older generation was slow to respond, and didn't realize what was wrong with their daughter, so they patronized and paid attention to others.

Ye Lizhao didn't know this clearly. He didn't know Zhou Yan and others very much. After thinking for a long time, he helped his wife compare the past and the present in his mind, and replied: "It should be, a bit similar."

After receiving the affirmative answer from her wife, Meng Wendong recalled the scenes at the dinner table, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that was the case. She patted the back of her hand with an annoyed "Ouch", "Then I am really...this kid doesn't say anything. ."

Ye Lizhao is relieved: "It's not necessarily, it may be a conflict."

Meng Wendong said: "I will ask another day, don't make troubles."

Sometimes the old couple are more open-minded. Even if they want to make a pair of their daughter and Zhou Yan, they don't want to force the bondage. It still respects the young man's choice and is not too stubborn.

In the next period of time, things like this never happened again.

Ye Xiyan didn't know what Zhou Yan and Meng Wendong said. Anyway, the old couple never mentioned the incident, nor did Ye Xiyan pretend to Zhou Yan.

This matter was later told by Herbert to Ye Xiyan, Zhou Yan made up an excuse that he liked it. In front of the elders, there are some things that are difficult to explain, but they are all euphemistically pointed out.

In the second week of returning to Nancheng, Ye Xiyan began physical training to prepare for the competition.

There is no special venue here. Training is all conducted in the outdoor fitness field of Chen Jiang Chao's home. There are also coaches far away in Germany who do remote guidance. In addition, due to the limitation of the track, the car here is temporarily simulated online.

The training will continue until I go to Japan. During this period, I have to practice every day, and I can't fall a day.

Jiang Xu stayed in the small villa, except for the first few days, and never left once.

Knowing what this is planning and preparing, Ye Xiyan didn't ask how it was going. Every day, he held a bunch of flowers back home, sending roses of various colors, hyacinths, platycodons...don’t pay attention to the meaning of flowers, just look good. .

This man was courageous, and one day he took his little niece Mengqi with him when he went out to eat, and took the baby on a date without telling the family.

The old couple didn't know this, and thought they were just taking the kids out to play, so they didn't care much.

Mengqi is rare for Jiang Xu. She likes it through the screen. She was shy when she saw a real person, and after hiding Ye Xiyan’s legs shyly, she pulled her little aunt’s trousers with joy while pulling her aunt’s trousers. She was really like her heart. Bricks.

Ye Xiyan didn't know how to take children, but he brought people out to meet Jiang Xu because of the annoyance, otherwise the little ones would be nagging every day and make trouble.

Dr. Jiang was more patient, so he took Mengqi with him all afternoon, and bought toys and children's overalls and other things.

The little girl was so beautiful that she yelled happily with her "sister". No matter how Ye Xiyan corrected her, she didn't change her mouth. She also generously paid out of her own pocket to ask Jiang Xu to eat ice cream. Incidentally, she bought one for Ye Xiyan.

The little child was open-minded and had so much fun outside during the day. When he went back, he would definitely "inform" the old couple, telling him where he went to play and who he was with. Meng Qi didn't know Jiang Xu's name, and Ye Xiyan didn't say it. She would just call her sister simply and couldn't tell why.

Meng Wendong didn't think much about it when he learned that he was out shopping with the girl, and that it was the doctor whom he saw on the video call last time. He just asked casually and asked Ye Xiyan a few words.

Ye Xiyan said perfunctorily: "It's just that I'm free in the afternoon, so I made an appointment to meet up. Anyway, I'm close."

"Are we here?" Meng Wendong asked.

Ye Xiyan said, "Well, where I live is not far from here."

"where?"

"Ronghe Avenue."

Meng Wendong knew it, "It's pretty close, just across the street."

Ye Xiyan raised his mouth more and said something else.

Perhaps the pile of things bought for Mengqi played a role. Meng Wendong said: "This Doctor Jiang is pretty good, she's a careful girl."

Ye Xiyan pursed her lips and said, "She is 29."

"A few years younger than your brother, are you married?"

"No, it's early."

"It's still early at 29," Meng Wendong said, thinking about it, and then said, "But it is, doctor, this age is too young, even if it is 30, it is not in a hurry. It's just a start. I'm worried."

After all, the older generation's thinking is still relatively conservative, and they talked about marriage.

Ye Xiyan is reluctant to listen, "Mom, don't think about it all the time. You always get married and never get married."

Knowing what this meant, Meng Wendong smiled and said, "I didn't urge you either, I said that the doctor is."

Ye Xiyan seemed to be unable to hear this sentence, and then replied ambiguously: "I'm not getting married, I have no plans."

Not getting married is the kind of marriage that does not marry in the traditional sense, a combination of men and women.

Meng Wendong didn't understand the deep meaning, and said, "I don't care about you, it's your business, whatever you want."

Ye Xiyan was silent, and after a while, he squeezed out a sentence: "Doctor Jiang has a target."

Meng Wendong asked: "A local?"

"Yeah." Ye Xiyan said calmly, "I also live near here."

"Which street?"

"Just this street."

Meng Wendong smiled, "That's a coincidence, it's all here, it's destined."

Ye Xiyan said, "That person seems to be a few years younger than her, three or four years old."

"About the same age as you."

"should be."

Meng Wendong said, "That's not bad, it's not too far off."

As if trying, Ye Xiyan shook his head with a lot of information, such as the so-called person who was in the same school as him, his family background was okay, and how was Jiang Xu.

I don’t know if this is the case, Meng Wendong said sincerely: "The conditions are still good, suitable."

Ye Xiyan raised his eyes, "But I heard that the relationship between Dr. Jiang's family is a bit complicated. Her parents have separated long ago and there are many contradictions."

Meng Wendong said: "Being together is not about living with parents, good or bad, as long as you like it, it doesn't matter how much it is. I don't care about you two, neither do you care, nor that. Effort."

Ye Xiyan just smiled, "You and Dad are the most enlightened."

"That's no way," Meng Wendong also laughed, "You two are stubborn temperament, you are not obedient when you are young, and you are too tired to manage it, but you can't manage it."

This dialogue is peaceful enough and full of warmth.

After talking too much, Ye Xiyan stopped here and stopped trying.

Going back in the evening, Ye Xiyan said this to Jiang Xu, and said unceremoniously: "My mother thinks that we two match well, it's very suitable."

Jiang Xu couldn't say, "My aunt is talking about conditions."

Ye Xiyan emphasized: "It's all conditions. She really likes you very much."

Regarding this improperly, Jiang Xu calmly.

Ye Xiyan said: "She wants you to be called to dinner next time, will she go?"

"When?"

"Anytime, go back often."

Jiang Xu said: "Let's wait a while, watch the game later."

"That's too late," Ye Xiyan said, "you can see you before the game, don't delay things."

Jiang Xu did not refuse.

There is a real thing about having dinner. It's not sweet to coax people, it's really what Meng Wendong said.

Ye Xiyan took it seriously and set the time on Sunday, after a dinner party.

The dinner party was on Friday. The host was an investor friend. Ye Xiyan had to sell others' face, so he returned to Nancheng, so he couldn't go.

Investment friends invited many people in the industry to participate in the banquet, including the dean of the second hospital, Zhang Xianming, Ji Cunyu, and the two Jiang family, namely Jiang Dancheng and Jiang family uncle.

It was a coincidence that the people who had a relationship with Jiang Xu had become a bunch.

Ye Xiyan didn't know that Zhang Xianming and the others were also on the invitation list. They didn't care too much. They just packed up that night and went there, thinking that it was just a meeting in the past and it would be over. If anyone else went in, they ran into Ji Cunyu.

Ji Cunyu was also quite surprised. He was startled when he saw her, and said slowly, "Mr. Ye, I met you again."

She didn't go alone, Charles was also walking along the way.

Charles was also invited and was recognized by Ji Cunyu.

When the former partner meets, the partner who is still not happy, the atmosphere is a bit embarrassing in an instant. However, Ji Cunyu reacted quickly and didn't lose his face. He took the initiative to greet Charles and shouted.

Charles isn't so polite anymore, he doesn't play hypocrisy, he doesn't reach out his hand and doesn't say anything, and he doesn't show face at all.

Ji Cunyu was not annoyed, and could smile peacefully, not knowing whether it was to maintain the illusion of harmony or to pretend.

The words were not too speculative, the three of them just met each other and didn't talk deeply.

When he was far away, Charles looked back, muttering something unpleasant. Ye Xiyan was curious, and asked, "Why, have enemies with him?"

Charles said, "I didn't get that share, I just can't bear it."

Ye Xi was puzzled: "What's wrong with him, what did he do?"

Some words are inconvenient to say outside, Charles leaned close and whispered in a low voice to inform Kangcheng Group that it might acquire a certain company.

A certain company is Ji Yunfu's.

And Kangcheng Group, the head office of the medical device company that Ye Xiyan invested in.

Ye Xiyan couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and replied with half-knowledge, "No wonder, why I said why I was so polite to me."

"Just ask what you mean over there, be careful not to get stuck." Charles reminded.

"I'm not the boss, I'm just an investor, and I can't be the master." Ye Xiyan said, "Kang Chengzhen intends to buy it, and I can't stop it."

"Be careful anyway," Charles said.

Ye Xiyan responded: "Don't worry."

The two friends walked inward while chatting, and met the host within a short distance.

The host is chatting, and the chatting object is Jiangdan City.

Needless to say, Ye Xiyan recognized the other party at a glance, knowing who it was, Jiang Dancheng's brows and eyes were too familiar.

The host friend happily pulled Ye Xiyan, and together with Charles, he hurriedly helped to build a bridge and line, and said heartily towards Jiang Dancheng: "I was still talking about it, here comes it. President Jiang, this is Ye. The daughter of the director, Mr. Ye Xiyan, is also a shareholder of He'an Company."

After that, he turned to Ye Xiyan and said, "Xianyan, this is President Jiang Dancheng Jiang, the director of Jiangzhi Group."

Then there was Charles again.

The investment friends were enthusiastic, and for fear that these three would miss the opportunity to meet each other, they also brought them a few glasses of champagne.

Ye Xiyan knew who Jiang Dancheng was, and he knew it for a long time. She behaved very calmly, as if she hadn't been doing it in private, showing her proper posture, even though she was a junior, she stretched out her hand without humility, "Mr. Jiang, hello, I have been admiring the name for a long time."

Jiang Dancheng is neither cold nor eager, "Xiaoye is always good."

The investment friend was happy, thinking that he had made a good head, he pulled the three of them to clink.

Ye Xiyan was neat and tidy, and drank it without being uncomfortable. It was completely a businessman's posture, and he managed to deal with it with ease and made it quite decent.

Jiang Dancheng is not bad, his attitude is still good, but he may be used to the posture of the superior, his every move is not easy-going enough, the whole person is holding it, unsmiling.

Jiang Dancheng is old, but not very old. In addition, his hair is dyed black. He is only forty or fifty years old, and he looks more decent. At first glance, he is a good person. No matter where he will cheat and care about his daughter’s life and death. Kind of shameless.

Talking to him casually, Ye Xiyan was calm on his face, without showing any emotions he should have.

Jiang Dancheng asked first: "Did Xiaoye always participate in the charity event funded by Yunhe?"

Ye Xiyan replied, "Yes, not long after it was over."

Jiang Dancheng said: "My daughter is also on the team, you should know him."

Ye Xiyan pretended to know, and tried to ask: "Doctor Jiang Xujiang?"

"Correct."

"Doctor Jiang is very good. He has done many things for everyone and he has also helped me."

When meeting for the first time, pretending to be polite.

Ye Xiyan followed the other party's words and didn't say much.

When the conversation was over, the other two uninvited guests also showed up.

The Dean of the Second Hospital, and Zhang Xianming.

Those two came up on the initiative and came here together, especially Zhang Xianming. They didn't avoid suspicion when they saw Jiang Dan City. They were the first to greet people, shouting politely: "Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Dancheng's face was not visible, no clues could be seen, and he replied calmly: "Director Zhang."

This is a little bit incomprehensible. It is obviously a relationship between fire and water. The two of them get along quite harmoniously, without a trace of awkwardness.

Ye Xiyan stood quietly, looked up calmly, looked at Charles, and met the dean under the introduction of an investment friend.

When the play was over and away from these people, Charles suddenly asked in a whisper, "Do you know who Kang Cheng's competitors are this time?"

Since you have asked so, you don't have to guess at all. Ye Xiyan knew it well and said, "Jiangzhi Group."

Charles nodded and said in a low voice: "There was a rumbling a while ago, and this posture is probably inevitable."

Is the acquisition of the ex-wife’s company with such a big fanfare for purely commercial interests or other purposes? Anyhow, after a couple, Ji Yunfu has only passed away for half a year. Isn't it too cruel to make such a show now?

Besides, what is going on with Zhang Xianming and Ji Cunyu? They seem to get along well with Jiang Dancheng, so they shouldn't. Could it be that the lover surnamed Zhang in Jiangdan City was a cousin with Zhang Xianming, so the relationship between the two families has reconciled?

Ye Xiyan glanced back and frowned unconsciously.

On the other side, Zhang Xianming and Ji Cunyu have gone elsewhere, and their investment friends are not there, but Jiang Dancheng and the dean of the Second Hospital are still talking about something. Jiang Dancheng was still the same as before, with few words, but the dean talked a lot, not knowing whether he was chatting or talking about things.

Charles asked, "What are you looking at?"

"No," Ye Xiyan denied, "go away."
