It was five o'clock in the morning when I left the apartment.There was a faint white light on the sky, and there was no one on the road, and the occasional passing car would bring short lights to Tang Qiao.

Tang Qiao couldn't help feeling relieved.

Since he returned to China impulsively, too many things have happened, and he must calm down and think about it alone.

Tang Qiao promised Shen Weichen that he would come back in a month, and he didn't just say that casually.During the month, he has two must-see people.

Tang Huaizhang and Zhao Lanzhi.

If he remembers correctly, Tang Huaizhang has reached the age of retirement.Regarding his plans after retirement, Tang Huaizhang hadn't mentioned it to him yet.He is his father, Tang Qiao will never be able to ignore him, and this is Shen Mu's only bargaining chip to restrain him.Once this bargaining chip loses its meaning, he will also be out of Shen Mu's control.

As for Zhao Lanzhi... Shen Yan was the key person in the whole matter, but Tang Qiao only knew a little about him. It seemed that no one really understood Shen Yan, let alone walked into his heart.If so, Tang Qiao believed that that person must be Zhao Lanzhi.Furthermore, he has always regarded Zhao Lanzhi as a close friend, and he really couldn't bear that Zhao Lanzhi maintained a similar nurturing relationship with Shen Yan like some of the starlets and models in Shen Yan's company.

But since Tang Qiao resolutely left three years ago, she has never contacted Zhao Lanzhi again.Whether Zhao Lanzhi still wants to talk to him now is a question.

Tang Qiao's cell phone was still where Shen Weichen was. He thought for a while, called a taxi, and found Zhao Jinzhi's home according to the memory in his mind.

Before going abroad, Tang Qiao visited Zhao Jinzhi and his wife and their lovely twins several times.

It was only six o'clock when he arrived at Zhao Jin's house.Although Tang Qiao felt a little guilty for waking up the family, he still rang the doorbell without hesitation.

To his surprise, he only waited 1 minute before the door opened.

Zhao Jinzhi has lost a lot of weight compared to three years ago, but he still ranks among the fat people. He is wearing a complete sports suit and a pair of running shoes on his feet. He looks like he is going to go for a morning run.

Zhao Jinzhi stared at Tang Qiao for a moment, then took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, rubbed them, looked at Tang Qiao carefully, and then said tremblingly, "Tang...Tang Qiao? "

Tang Qiao smiled slightly, "It's me. Jinzhi, long time no see."

"You bastard!" Zhao Jinzhi let out a low growl, and rushed forward to hug Tang Qiao, with a tear in his voice, "Where have you been all these years! I'm so worried!"

Tang Qiao patted the back of his bamboo horse comfortingly, "Don't cry, you are all fathers."

Zhao Jinzhi smiled through tears, "I didn't cry!"

At this time, Li Yunshu came down from downstairs, "Honey, who's here?"

Zhao Jinzhi sniffled, "It's my friend! Tang Qiao! Do you remember?"

Li Yunshu looked surprised, "Mr. Tang? Great, you're finally back. In recent years, Jinzhi has been talking about you a lot."

Tang Qiao nodded from the beautiful middle-aged woman in front of her, and asked with a smile, "Where are the two little guys?"

"Oh, they're still sleeping."

"Sorry, I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any presents."

"What kind of talk is this!" Zhao Jinzhi scolded, "Do we still need to be so polite? By the way, three years ago, you..."

Tang Qiao interrupted him, "It's a long story, let's sit down and talk slowly."

"Oh, all right, let's go to my study."

Li Yunshu said: "Mr. Tang hasn't eaten breakfast yet, right? I'm going to prepare it now and send it to the study later."

"thank you very much."

In Zhao Jinzhi's study, Tang Qiao told him for the first time the real reason why he suddenly went abroad that year.

Tang Qiao himself also found it strange that he hadn't talked to anyone these years, and would rather bear the misunderstanding from the closest people, and he would also hide it from Shen Weichen and Zhao Lanzhi.But now facing Zhao Jinzhi's pure and harmless person, he actually said it so naturally.Perhaps it was because Zhao Jinzhi was not in the same world as people like them. He had been immersed in academia for many years. Even though he was born into a big family in the business world, he knew nothing about business matters.Maybe it was because Tang Qiao really didn't want to bear it anymore.

After Zhao Jin heard this, he was filled with righteous indignation, and punched the table hard, startling Li Yunshu who had just come in to deliver breakfast.

"Husband!" Li Yunshu exclaimed, "What are you doing?!"

"It's nothing." Tang Qiao said calmly, "We're talking about something, he's just a little angry."

"Really." Li Yunshu complained, "I should restrain my temper in front of the guests."

Tang Qiao smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

The breakfast Li Yunshu brought was two cups of steaming milk, toast, sausage and fried eggs.Although it is very fried, it is full of home flavor.

After delivering breakfast, Li Yunshu left immediately, leaving room for these two long-lost friends.

Looking at her back, Tang Qiao couldn't help sighing that Zhao Jinzhi was really happy.He has a gentle and virtuous wife, and two innocent and lovely babies. He never worries about money and can do the work he likes. He is probably the luckiest person among them.

"Shen Mu is so hateful!" Zhao Jinzhi gritted his teeth, "I still consider him a good friend! It's unforgivable that he threatens you with Uncle Tang. I want to break up with him, so don't stop me."

While Tang Qiao nodded in agreement, he couldn't help thinking that it was so easy to talk to Zhao Jinzhi, and he would believe whatever he said.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Zhao Jinzhi said, "No matter what you want to do, I will support you! Although I can't help you with anything, my brother..."

Tang Qiao's heart moved, "Actually, I came here this time to inquire about Lan Zhi's news."

"Huh? Oh."

"Has he had a good life these past few years?"

Zhao Jinzhi shrugged, "It should be fine."

Tang Qiao's face was dark, "What is 'should'? Don't you two brothers keep in touch?"

"Huh? That's not true. He basically comes to my house for dinner every weekend. My two sons like him very much."

Tang Qiao knew that Zhao Lanzhi always liked children very much, and he loved Shen Weichen very much when he was young. "Then what about him and Shen Yan?"

Hearing Shen Yan's name, Zhao Jinzhi's face became unnatural, but he still answered honestly: "I don't really know. Three years ago, not long after you left, my brother came out to the family. My parents had a big fight with him. But in the end, my parents had nothing to do with him. After all, the family business still relied on him. It didn't take long for this matter to settle down. Later, everyone agreed Unannounced, I never mentioned anything about my brother's sexual orientation."

Tang Qiao nodded thoughtfully.Thinking about it, the Zhao family had two sons after all. Although the two elders found it difficult to accept, in order not to lose the eldest son, they had to compromise in the end.

Tang Qiao asked him again: "Do you know where Lanzhi is now?"

Zhao Jinyi was startled, "What? Isn't he in City S?"

Facing the naturally dumbfounded bamboo horse, Tang Qiao couldn't help but support his forehead, "Call him now and see where he is."

"Oh, good." Zhao Jinzhi took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Lanzhi.

The reminder bell rang for a long time, but no one answered.Zhao Jinzhi hung up the phone and looked at Tang Qiao helplessly.

"Try calling his secretary again?"

"right!"

This time the call was connected quickly.The secretary has followed Zhao Lanzhi for many years and knows that his boss has always loved his younger brother the most. When Zhao Jinzhi asked about Zhao Lanzhi's whereabouts, the secretary quickly told him and even sent him the address of the hotel where he stayed.

Tang Qiao was finally relieved when he got the address.After finishing the delicious breakfast, he said, "Okay, it's almost time for me to go."

"Ah?" Zhao Jinzhi said dissatisfied, "Let's go now?"

"Well, I have something urgent to find Lan Zhi." Tang Qiao comforted him, "I will definitely come back and buy you a drink when the matter is settled."

Zhao Jinzhi was a little reconciled, but he didn't want to disrupt Tang Qiao's plan either. "Then... well. We said it."

When Tang Qiao went downstairs, Li Yunshu was in the dining room coaxing the two babies to have breakfast.Seeing Tang Qiao, he immediately said to the little ones, "Say hello to uncle."

The babies are only five years old this year. I don't know if it's because of Zhao Jinzhi's genetics or because they eat too well. They look very chubby and cute.They were a little shy of strangers, and at the request of their mother, they called out in a low voice: "Uncle Tang."

Tang Qiao smiled and said, "Hello. Don't you remember me?"

The babies looked at each other in silence.

Tang Qiao resisted the urge to pinch their faces, and said to Li Yunshu, "Thank you for your hospitality. I still have something to do, so I'll take a step ahead."

"Aren't you going to stay for lunch?" Li Yunshu asked to stay.

"Forget it this time, I will definitely come to visit next time."

Zhao Jinzhi and his wife sent Tang Qiao to the door. After saying goodbye to them, Tang Qiao rushed to the airport and booked the earliest ticket.When the time came, he boarded a plane in a foreign country.

When I got off the plane, it was humid and warm air that was completely different from that in China.Tang Qiao took off his coat, tugged at his tie irritably, stopped a local taxi, and rushed to the hotel where Zhao Lanzhi was staying.

The address given to Zhao Jinzhi by the secretary was very detailed, including the house number of the room where Zhao Lanzhi lived.

Tang Qiao finished the check-in procedures, put the simple luggage in the room, and went to find Zhao Lanzhi.

Standing at the door, Tang Qiao took a deep breath and made preparations before ringing the doorbell.

His heart was pounding, and in just a few seconds, he imagined countless expressions of Zhao Lanzhi seeing him.But there was no movement inside.

Did Zhao Lanzhi go out?That's right, he's here for vacation, so there's no reason why he would stay in the hotel every day.

Tang Qiao ate some lunch casually, then sat in the lobby of the hotel, keeping an eye on the movement at the door all the time.But until night, Zhao Lanzhi still didn't show up.

Tang Qiao couldn't sit still any longer, so he summoned a waiter and asked him, "Is there any interesting place around here?"

The waiter replied, "There's a white party on the beach tonight."

"The white party?"

"Yeah." The waiter smiled ambiguously, "It's a line specially prepared for gays. Hundreds of gays are wearing white shirts and carnival on the beach... It's a regular program here every year."

"Really." Tang Qiao narrowed his eyes, "I see, thank you."
