Chapter 86 [Return to Chunyang]

When Zhang Yang saw the taxi that Chu Yanran was riding farther and farther away, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He couldn't help but urge the driver of Namo to say, "I said brothers! Can you hurry up? The car is like a turtle, and I'll give you double the price!"

The driver suddenly became excited when he heard this: "You said it earlier!" One plus the accelerator, and the strong sense of pushing back almost didn't lift Zhang Yang out of the car. Zhang Yang grabbed the seat bucket: "It's still like that. I said brothers, are you a car shaved?"

The driver smiled proudly: "You have a license, your eyes are quite vicious. You are not plainclothes? Actually, I am not afraid of you even plainclothes. Our traffic police in Beijing just don't stop them!" He said as he speeded up and finally drove alongside the red Santana that Chu Yanran was riding in. Zhang Yang shouted: "Girl, come down!"

Chu Yanran felt a little better when she saw Zhang Yang catching up, but she didn't want to give up with him and turned her pretty face aside.

The driver smiled and said, "Brothers, my girlfriend is so beautiful. Add fifty more, I'll help you park this car!"

Zhang Yang didn't care about bargaining at all, and fifty was fifty: "Trade!" Zhang Daguanren was not ordinary at the critical moment.

The driver increased the accelerator and rushed to the front of Santana at high speed, forcing Santana to stop slowly. The Santana driver was so angry that he poked out the window and wanted to scold him. The driver of the motorcycle smiled and said, "We Beijingers like the beauty of adults the most. Brothers, please accumulate some virtue!"

Zhang Yang took out a 100-yuan old man ticket and threw it to the driver. He jumped out of the sideboard and came to the taxi. Chu Yanran bit her cherry lips, and her pretty face covered with a layer of frost. She had no intention of getting off the car.

Zhang Yang said softly: "Girl, I just came to Beijing and didn't even drink my saliva. We can't turn around and leave. Besides, I have no place to offend you!"

Chu Yanran said with her eyebrows, "You offended me! I know you are sick, and you flew to the airport to see you before dawn. She didn't even bother with her grandfather during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but you... you are having a passionate fight with other women. Are you a human?"

The two drivers listened on the side, and looked at Zhang Yang with contempt, showing that his girlfriend was so beautiful that she wanted to go to other women. This guy was born in a blessing and didn't know how lucky he was.

"I'm talking to others about work, don't think too much!"

"Whoever believes it, you, a half-hearted guy, will believe you!"

The two drivers nodded at the same time, with great momentum to watch to the end.

Zhang Yang widened his eyes: "Damn, I'll give you less money. I said, brothers, we don't bring such people. We should be kind and be honest. I want to watch other places. Why are you causing trouble here?"

The Santana driver looked at Zhang Yang helplessly: "Do you think I'm happy to listen. You can coax the girl to change the place and don't be in my car. Go back and call the traffic police. I can't afford the fine!"

When Zhang Yang heard what he said, he pulled the car door and sat down next to Chu Yanran: "Soon open and find a sparsely populated area to put us down!"

The driver smiled bitterly and said, "Brothers, we don't bring such a person. If you do anything illegal or illegal, I will also be a gangster. I still have an 80-year-old mother in my family."

"Don't worry, I'm a state cadre!"

"These are all state cadres who violate the law and discipline these days!" The driver is quite serious.

Chu Yanran couldn't help laughing: "I haven't eaten yet!"

"Quanjude!"

Although Chu Yanran followed Zhang Yang to Quanjude, she still didn't plan to pay attention to him. She focused all her attention on the duck. Seeing Chu Yanran eating the duck with relish, Zhang Yang smiled warmly and naturally. He knew Chu Yanran and Chu Yanran's feelings for him. She must be very uncomfortable now, so she was venting in this way. All he had to do was to stay with her quietly, not to continue to stimulate her, and wait for the moment when the girl calmed down.

Seeing Chu Yanran rolling up another pancake, Zhang Yang finally couldn't help but advise: "It's not good to overeat, girls are too fat and not good-looking!"

"Does I look good and have something to do with you?"

"Of course it's a big deal. You say that I'm a hooligan all day long. You're good-looking. I can focus on you so that I can't harm others' good women. If you overeat and grow into an ugly duckling, then... I might want to harm others again."

"It has nothing to do with you, whether it is an ugly duckling or a white swan. I don't look like anything to show you. I can't stop anyone you want to harm. Now what I can do is to ensure that I don't get harmed by you."

This guy shamelessly held up a shameless look: "But I really want to harm you!"

Chu Yanran served a bowl of duck stand soup and tasted it with relish: "I don't plan to give you this opportunity!"

"I said, can you transfer your interest in ducks to me?" Zhang Daren felt neglected.

Chu Yanran looked at him disdainfully: "In my opinion, you are not as credible as a duck!"

"If you want, I'm willing to be a duck!" Zhang Yang's voice was not loud or small. The diners around him could hear it clearly, and they all looked at him in surprise.

Chu Yanran's pretty face was blushing with shame, and she spat softly: "So shameless!" She didn't want to stay in the weird eyes of others, and asked the waiter to pay the bill. As a landlord, Zhang Yang would certainly not let Chu Yanran pay for the money. She rushed to settle the bill and pulled up Chu Yanran's suitcase. This was not just a gentlemanly demeanor. This guy was cautious, afraid that Chu Yanran would run away. Only then did he realize that Chu Yanran's position in his heart had always been so important.

Chu Yanran did not stop him, and quickly walked onto Wangfujing Street and wandered aimlessly on the street. Zhang Yang followed her inseparably. The guy's physical strength had obviously not fully recovered. He had sweated a lot after walking not long ago. Chu Yanran also saw that his condition was wrong. Although he did not forgive him, his heart was already soft. He slowed down and walked with Zhang Yang. Her hand gently fell on the handle of the suitcase, and wanted to take it from Zhang Yang's hand, but Zhang Yang took the opportunity to hold her slender hand in his hand.

Chu Yanran struggled gently, but he still held it. Her beautiful eyes stared at Zhang Yang deeply and said, "I think I can only accept you as my friend for the time being!"

Zhang Yang's smile became a little stiff. With Chu Yanran's wisdom, it would be impossible to see that he was not loyal enough in his relationship. He did like Chu Yanran very much, but he could not put all his feelings on Chu Yanran alone. He was the same for Qin Qing, Zuo Xiaoqing, Gu Jiatong, and Hailan. Zhang Yang's view of emotions was different from that of most people. He dared to say that he loved everyone seriously and did not feel any guilt. He believed that he could make them happy. From the Sui Dynasty to modern society, he did not change his moral standards, which was commendable.

Chu Yanran's words clearly pointed out that he was too passionate, and Zhang Yang's biggest trouble was that it was difficult to choose and difficult to give up. He also knew that doing so was unfair to the girls around him, but he still stubbornly thought he was right. His strong possessiveness made him think that only by being with him can they be happy.

The two of them just held hands and looked at each other quietly. The crowds around them seemed to have become flowing scenes. They understood something from each other's eyes. Chu Yanran smiled and said, "I feel relieved when I see you safe!"

Zhang Yang said emotionally: "Girl, don't treat me too well, I'm afraid of falling in love with you..." He paused and said: "I think I've fallen in love with you!"

Chu Yanran's smile was a little sad: "It's a pity that you love too many people, but there is only one in my heart!" She gently pulled back her luggage: "I'm leaving. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't want my grandfather and the old man to live alone!"

Zhang Yang did not stop him because he knew that he could not choose to give up for Chu Yanran, and he would not give up Chu Yanran. His feelings for Chu Yanran were so simple and sincere, and he could not accept giving up.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, Qin Qing did not come to Chunyang to Beijing Office. She stayed at the Party School to participate in the friendship activities of classmates at the same time. I don’t know if she really can’t leave, or she should choose to avoid it.

After dinner, Zhang Yang and Gu Jiatong stood on the rooftop of the top floor of the Beijing Office, admiring the full moon in the sky side by side. No one disturbed them. They could enjoy this quiet world. Zhang Yang held Gu Jiatong's shoulders: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and you ran out of Dongjiang alone. Aren't you afraid of your family?"

Gu Jiatong smiled sadly: "I am a married woman. Tonight, I should spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at his house, but I don't want to live in pain. If I go home, I dare not face my father, so I think of you..." She stretched out her beautiful eyes and looked at Zhang Yang, and found that Zhang Yang's smile tonight was not as bright as before. Gu Jiatong turned around and put her hands on Zhang Yang's shoulders: "Is it because of me that the trouble between you and her?"

Zhang Yang shook his head, he held Gu Jiatong's delicate pretty face and gently rubbed her face with his thumb: "Sister Jiatong, do you think I'm fickle?"

Gu Jiatong couldn't help laughing. With her experience, her understanding of feelings will naturally not be like those simple girls. She has not yet figured out what the relationship between herself and Zhang Yang is going on. From the initial curiosity, to mutual attraction, to the out of control of the fire, the two have crossed the last line of defense between men and women in a short period of time. They clearly have a family, and Zhang Yang also has a girlfriend, but what should have happened still happened. She whispered: "I have never considered this. At that time in Dongjiang, I saw you so deeply in love with Hailan. I was very moved. I even envied Hailan. I envy Hailan. I envy her for having someone who loves her so much. Later I heard that Hailan is not the only one by you, but I did not apply the word "figure" to you. I did not feel any disgusted with you."

Zhang Yang laughed: "Really?"

Gu Jiatong nodded seriously: "When you went to chase Chu Yanran today, I felt a little uncomfortable, but then I quickly got up. I don't need you to bear anything for me when I am with you. I don't need you to be responsible for you. I don't want to be the result. You should have your own family and your own life."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Sister Jiatong, you don't understand. In my eyes, you already belong to me. I want to protect you. I don't want anyone to hurt you. But what I bothered me is that my feelings can be divided into many parts, no weight or thickness. I am not a person without responsibility, but I can't give up in terms of feelings." He said the truth.

If someone else said this sentence, Gu Jiatong would definitely be named the inglorious bastard, but Zhang Yang said it very calmly without a trace of hypocrisy, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Gu Jiatong put his hands together and put them around his neck and said, "Don't you know that not every woman doesn't want to be successful? Most people will ask you to promise, you will have marriage and family."

Zhang Yang said in a tangled manner: "You said that if I chose one of them and gave up on the others, would the others suffer?"

Gu Jiatong bit her cherry lips, and her long black eyelashes flashed quickly. Although she didn't know what others would think, she was now increasingly unable to leave Zhang Yang. If Zhang Yang ignored her from now on because of choosing Chu Yanran, she would definitely be sad and sad. Even if she was his lover who would never see him, she would not answer. Gu Jiatong did not answer, tiptoed and kissed Zhang Yang's lips lightly.

Zhang Yang kissed her soft lips, sucked her fragrant tongue between her lips, and her big hand slid on Gu Jiatong's plump buttocks. Gu Jiatong smiled and broke free: "I suddenly realized that you are not fickle, you are too possessive, and you wish you could bring all the beauties in the world into the harem. You are like an insatiable landlord, your mind is full of feudal things, and you want to marry many little wives."

Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing: "When I saw the big red lantern hanging high, I thought that if I could have such a large courtyard and so much land, I would have to marry many wives in the house, but I wouldn't let them live separately. I would have to customize a big bed and sleep with my wives every night. That is the realm, that is enjoyment, and that is life!"

Gu Jiatong blushed and said, "You are so shameless. You can think of such a thing, you are not afraid of being exhausted!"

Zhang Yang said confidently: "With my ability, there are not many three palaces and six courtyards. Besides, for the sake of my beloved woman, I will be willing to do it even if I am exhausted."

"Bah! You can't say these unlucky words for the holiday?" Gu Jiatong reached out and pulled a punch on his ear. However, Zhang Yang hooked her slender waist, which made her unstable footing. Her delicate body was pressed against Zhang Yang's arms. Gu Jiatong felt his strong masculine aura up close, and her delicate body suddenly became soft. Her beautiful eyes were charming and she almost dripped out of water. She said in a sweet voice: "Are you really planning to be exhausted?"

"I don't know who is exhausted first..."

The bright full moon suddenly hid in the thin clouds, the night sky became so gentle and hazy, and the ambiguity spread quietly with the night...

After repeated consideration, Zhang Yang decided to return to Chunyang on October 18 to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Medical Beauty Center. He originally wanted to invite Qin Qing to go with him, but Qin Qing refused to do so by the excuse of heavy learning tasks. Zhang Yang has become accustomed to Qin Qing's emotional escape. Since she revealed her true feelings last time at Qinglongtan Hospital, her dodge towards Zhang Yang has become more obvious.

Zhang Yang is a person who doesn't want to put too much pressure on others, especially his beloved woman. He boarded the plane for the first time in his life. After more than an hour of uneasy flight, the plane finally landed at Jiangcheng Airport.

Zhang Yang specially arrived in Jiangcheng one day in advance. He could use this time to visit Li Changyu. After receiving Zhang Yang's call, Li Changyu seemed very happy. He did not ask Zhang Yang to go to his house, but asked him to go directly to Building 15, Fenglin House Community.

When Zhang Yang arrived at the place, he realized that this was the secret love nest of Li Changyu and Ge Chunli. Li Changyu was able to invite him here, which shows that Li Changyu did not regard him as an outsider at all. It was through this incident that Li Changyu conveyed a message to Zhang Yang. From beginning to end, his care for Zhang Yang would not change.

Ge Chunli was wearing a red home dress, and her figure was a little plump than before. It seemed that she had been well irrigated by Deputy Mayor Li recently. She smiled and invited Zhang Yang in. Zhang Yang took the initiative to change into slippers. Looking at the dark red wooden floor in the room, it was spotless. Suddenly, she remembered the scene of Li Changyu's house covered with dust and sweet potato seeds. When she thought of Zhu Hongmei's vulgar face, Li Changyu's cheating naturally became understandable and sympathized with her.

Ge Chunli did not feel any restraint in front of Zhang Yang. She avoided and concealed it only targeted people who didn't know the inside story. Zhang Yang knew the little things about her and Li Changyu clearly. She felt natural and close to each other when they got along like this. In fact, no one wanted her feelings to be hidden underground and could not stand the light. Ge Chunli felt an indescribable sense of intimacy when she saw Zhang Yang.

Li Changyu stood up from the sofa and smiled and said, "I haven't eaten yet. I'll ask your Aunt Ge to prepare some and have a drink with me!"

Zhang Yang was not polite to him. After washing his face, he went to the restaurant. Ge Chunli had already prepared the dishes. Li Changyu opened a bottle of Maotai for government reception. Zhang Yang asked Ge Chunli to sit together and put wine glasses for them.

Li Changyu said: "Is it a habit to stay in Beijing? Is the work going smoothly?"

"It's not going well, I'm just about to get you to transfer me back!"

Li Changyu was slightly stunned, and then realized that this guy was talking about it on purpose to tease him. Zhang Yang laughed, Li Changyu and Ge Chunli also laughed, Li Changyu raised his glass and said, "Cheers!"

Zhang Yang drank this glass of wine and said, "Uncle! The Beijing Office is just a liaison office. I have been busy traveling recently." This guy is getting more and more familiar with Li Changyu, so he simply called him uncle directly, saving the prefix of his name.

Although Li Changyu is in Jiangcheng, he is not ignorant of Zhang Yang's affairs in Beijing. He smiled meaningfully and said, "I heard that you made a big move when you first arrived at Chunyang Beijing Office and wanted to jointly organize catering with others?"

Zhang Yang said: "Gu Jiatong has a crush on our place. She invested in and provided people. Our Beijing office can only release the territory. Such a good thing can't be found even if you lanterns are used."

Ge Chunli didn't know who Gu Jiatong was, and whispered: "Who is Gu Jiatong? Are you very rich?"

Li Changyu seemed carelessly explained: "She is the eldest daughter of Secretary Gu of the Provincial Party Committee and is a good friend of Zhang Yang." In fact, he didn't know what kind of relationship Zhang Yang and Gu Jiatong had. However, since Gu Jiatong's previous protection of him, Zhang Yang had just arrived in Beijing and invested again, which shows that the relationship between the two is not just an ordinary friend. When Zhang Yang encountered a political crisis a few days ago, Li Changyu deeply felt the powerful power behind this guy. From Pinghai to Beiyuan, from the military to the political circles, there were people coming for him.

Zhang Yang said, "We are just friends..." He felt a little regretful when he said this. He had a little idea that there was no silver here. He drank a glass of wine and whispered: "Uncle, I don't understand something. Who was messing with me last time?"

Li Changyu paused the wine glass in his hand. He had long known that Zhang Yang was definitely not a person who swallowed his anger. Although he chose to endure and escape for the last time, it was just a force of the situation. Now, he had not been in Beijing for a few days and seemed to have recovered again. Today he came here not to visit him. His real purpose was to know who the enemy was. This guy wanted to take revenge! Li Changyu had not experienced Zhang Yang's revenge, and this matter made him feel a little embarrassed.

Li Changyu said: "I can't understand many things in the officialdom at all. There is an old saying that wood is so beautiful that it will be destroyed by the wind in the forest. You performed too conspicuously and too excellently in the officialdom of Chunyang. A young man in his twenties solved the major investment of Mr. An in a short time and has been jealous of many people. In the matter of the Zhangwulou mining accident, your and Qin Qing's actions have affected the interests of many people. What happened a few days ago was not accidental, but inevitable."

Zhang Yang said: "You mean I broke the rules of the officialdom!"

Li Changyu smiled unanimously: "In any era or society, only the strong can make rules, and the weak can only act as a role of abide by the rules. If you want to violate it, then there will be strong people to deal with you."

Zhang Yang said word by word: "I just want to know who wants to deal with me!"

Li Changyu shook his head and said, "Zhang Yang, the matter has passed, why don't you refuse to let go of it? You can let go of the mine accident, why can't you let go of this matter the same?"

Zhang Yang said: "The mine disaster is not targeting me, but this person is targeting me!"

Li Changyu smiled. Zhang Yang was still very young and impulsive. Since he had seen that the opponent behind the scenes was so powerful, why did he have to figure out the truth about the whole thing? Li Changyu would not tell Zhang Yang Xu Changde's name. Maybe this is out of concern for him and protection. Li Changyu changed the topic and said, "What's wrong with you when you come back this time?"

Zhang Yang then talked about the story of returning to Chunyang cutting the ribbon. Li Changyu nodded and said, "Take the opportunity to come back to repair the relationship with Chunyang, don't make things too stiff. After all, you can't stay in the Beijing Office forever." He changed his tone and said, "It seems that Qin Qing is studying at the Central Party School?"

"I have seen her several times. She now lives in the Party School for a long time and rarely comes to the Beijing Office."
To be continued...
