cute in his palm

Chapter 223 Life is Short

The next day, early in the morning.

Mu Jiu and Tao Mian made an appointment to meet in the square.

Mu Jiu took a taxi there, and from a distance, she saw Tao Mian leaning on her black horseman, leaning on the door with one hand and smoking a cigarette in the other.

At this moment, Mu Jiu just felt that this Tao Mian was not the Tao Mian she knew at all, when did the obedient and cute Tao Xiaomian learn to smoke.

The moment she saw Mu Jiu, Tao Mian stepped on the cigarette, then raised a big smile at her, and spread her hands. "Xiao Jiu."

Mu Jiu felt a warm embrace hugging her into her arms, and Tao Mian hugged her tightly, "Xiao Jiu, I'm finally back, I finally dare to come back."

Mu Jiu knew what she was talking about.

It's not that Tao Mian doesn't want to come back to Huai City, but he doesn't dare to come back and face this place. This is the city where Cheng Dong was born and raised, and there are too many memories about him.

"Mianmian, welcome back. On behalf of the people of Huaicheng, I welcome you back to the embrace of the motherland!" Mu Jiu embraced Tao Mian's thin figure with both hands.

"Mianmian, we finally waited for you to come back, we will start all over again." Mu Jiu said softly to her.

Only Tao Mian knew this best.

The meaning of starting over is to completely forget Cheng Dong and start again.

But how can it be so easy to forget someone?
Besides, she never intended to forget.

"Xiao Jiu, long time no see." Tao Mian let go of Mu Jiu, looked her in the eyes and said.

"Yeah, it's been four years." It's been four years since Tao Mian followed Cheng Dong to West Point. He only had a quick meeting at Cheng Dong's funeral and never saw each other again.

"However, Mianmian, when did you learn to smoke? I remember that you don't smoke or drink." Mu Jiu looked at her in surprise and said.

The Tao family's family rules have always been very strict, so the children who are educated are all of high self-cultivation and character. Before the age of 20, the entrance guard is ten o'clock in the evening, smoking and drinking are not allowed, and all entertainment venues are prohibited. go.

"Occasionally smoke when you are upset." Tao Mian said lightly.

Tao Mian didn't tell Mu Jiu that in the first three months of Cheng Dong's death, she almost came here in tobacco and alcohol, and was almost fired by West Point.

In the end, with the support of Cheng Dong's belief, she didn't really step down.

Cheng Dong is an excellent graduate of West Point, so of course she has to be the best student, not a deserter.

"Everything is over, come back, tell me about your troubles in the future, and you won't be troubled anymore. After all, smoking too much is not good, and you can easily get lung cancer." Mu Jiu comforted Tao Mian.

After saying this, Tao Mian laughed.

"You really see me as a smoker, you only smoke when you say you're upset." Tao Mian smiled harmlessly.

Tao Mian itself has a baby face, with a pair of smart big eyes, she looks extraordinarily cute and charming, just like a pure child. '

However, God let this child experience the pain of life and death prematurely.

"I'm back, what's your plan?" Mu Jiu asked her.

"I was a police officer in the SWAT team, and I reported with West Point's recommendation letter when I returned home, so I didn't have time to come to you." Tao Mian said relaxedly.

"SWAT team, is that a place where girls can go?" Mu Jiu's eyes widened immediately when she heard about this profession, it's not a fun place.

Seeing Mu Jiu's nervous look, Tao Mian smiled.

"Girls can't be special police officers? Xiao Jiu, are you sexist?" Tao Mian said while pinching Mu Jiu's face with a smile.

Mu Jiu immediately shook her head, "I don't mean to discriminate, I just think it's dangerous for girls to go to the police, and those are all for anti-violence and safety, so go where the most dangerous."

Of course Tao Mian knew about Mu Jiu's worries, but being a special police officer was Cheng Dong's greatest wish, to keep everyone safe.If he didn't go to peacekeeping at the beginning, he would directly become a special police officer when he returned home.

Now everything is too late, so Tao Mian will fulfill Cheng Dong's wish that is too late.

"Okay, my grandfather doesn't object to my job. It's fine. The people in the bureau take good care of me." Tao Mian patted her on the shoulder and opened the car door.

"Mianmian, I'll drive." Mu Jiu stepped into the driver's seat first.

"Huh?" Tao Mian looked at her puzzled.

"You haven't been back for four years. You must not be familiar with the roads in Huaicheng, so I'll drive." Mu Jiu hurriedly explained that she was actually worried that Tao Mian's emotional instability would affect her driving.

Tao Mian also knew what Mu Jiu was nervous about, so she didn't point it out, even if it was her first time driving in a strange city, she was not afraid, because there was navigation in the car, so she could go wherever she wanted.

"Okay, let Xiao Jiu be the driver today."

"Are you ready for Brother Cheng?" Mu Jiu was silent for a while before asking.

After all, Tao Mian himself said that he was going to the cemetery, so he should prepare the things that should be prepared.

"It's ready, I asked the butler to prepare it early in the morning, Cheng Dong's favorite food and drink, he should be happy...Xiao Jiu, don't you think so?" Tao Mian said the following words very softly, He looked thoughtfully out of the car window sideways.

It looked like he was lost in thought and sad.

"Of course he will be happy, Brother Cheng will be happy." Mu Jiu said seriously.

After that, Tao Mian kept looking out the window without saying anything, and Mu Jiu didn't say anything more, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became solemn, the more the car drove out of the city, the colder the atmosphere inside the car .

In the end, it was Tao Mian who broke the deadlock. The atmosphere was so depressing that she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Xiao Jiu, where's Liang Chen?" Tao Mian looked back at Mu Jiu and said.

"My brother's heart attack has relapsed, but it's under control. The only way is surgery. I'm afraid there will be no way to recover if it recurs next time." Mu Jiu can now face his brother's condition calmly. It's enough to get my brother to agree to go abroad for surgery.

Although Mu Liangchen is a gentle man, he still has a stubborn side in his bones. As long as he doesn't want to do things, ten bulls won't be able to pull them back.

"It's so serious, what does Liang Chen think?" Tao Mian didn't expect that Mu Liangchen's condition would deteriorate so quickly after four years.

"My brother doesn't want to have an operation, he's afraid of dying on the operating table." Mu Jiu said the truth.

Life is short and ever-changing, and no one knows what tomorrow will be like.

"Let me contact the most authoritative cardiologist in the United States for Liangchen, and bring Liangchen to the United States for surgery. The success rate will be higher and nothing will happen." Tao Mian suggested.

"Mianmian, I will persuade him." Mu Jiu said seriously.

"I'll go back later, I'll go to the hospital to see him, and I'll persuade him." Tao Mianyong said seriously.

If the disease can still be cured, don't give up the treatment.
