Chapter 56: Self-Reliance Portal

Cheng Jiangli put his hand behind him, and in the dim light, under his smiling gaze, there was a little tease and hint.

Yuan Lu didn't understand it before, but now he is clear and sees it thoroughly.

She understands that the dry fire between men and women is not necessarily just because of affection, but also because of primitive desires.

Her roommate in a foreign country is a very open girl, and her life principle is to have fun in time, let go of what she wants, and don't regret it. Making a boyfriend is like changing clothes, and during the window period, there are still friends.

She'd bumped into it many times, and she took the man home. It's a different man every time, and every man is tall and handsome, with a great figure.

Occasionally, when the firewood is dry, I can't take care of her at all, and I get entangled together when I enter the door.

Also, her screaming is really super loud, and in the dead of night, she falls asleep with her screaming.

For a while, Yuan Lu had a revenge mentality, and she also wanted to try this kind of attitude in the game world, whether she was really so happy. She followed the roommate in various ways, but it may have been Xiang Qi who gave her a shadow.

She learned to be sultry and how to run when she was done.

During that time, she saw the routines of different men clearly, and then came and went with those routines, she felt bored, so she stopped in time. The roommate later told her that she had become a scumbag in that area, saying that she was irresponsible and broke the hearts of many men.

The man borrowed wine for her to kill her sorrows, and her liver and intestines were broken.

The woman secretly scolded her for her bad methods and cheap waves.

Yuan Lu thought to himself that these men were really good actors and felt good about themselves.

They just regretted that they didn't sleep with her.

What you can't get is unforgettable, and when you really get it, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she still feels tired after a long time. Otherwise, those celebrities' wives who are like flowers and jade in their families will have to run out to find Internet celebrities.

Men are cheap.

Yuan Lu looked at Cheng Jiangli, a boy with such a good look, there must be no shortage of girls chasing after him, it is estimated that it has always been the stars and the moon, in his eyes, there are two kinds of women, women who are interested and women who are not interested.

Yuan Lu felt that he might be divided into the ranks of interested women.

Good-looking face, who doesn't like it.

Yuan Lu took a step forward and narrowed the distance between the two, she clasped her arms with both hands, raised her chin, looked at him, and said, "Do you want to soak sister?"

She doesn't want to be ambiguous with him, after all, she is the person around her, and she doesn't want to resign yet, so the people around her can't be foolish, and they have to provoke the disaster.

Cheng Jiangli raised her eyebrows, and she knew her attitude at a glance.

He shook his head and said, "No, I want to be soaked by my sister." ”

Yuan Lu paused, then laughed, glanced at him, walked past him, and went downstairs to get something.

Cheng Jiangli followed step by step, but he didn't say too much, he said too much.

Yuan Lu walked to the side of Sheng Xiao's car, he has been driving this Bentley since he came to Haishi, every time he came, Yuan Lu subconsciously memorized the license plate number.

She opened the trunk and there were two large bags of things, including clothes and some cosmetics, and a box of pastries in the middle, with the words "Miss Meow" printed on the box, which was a relatively famous local dessert shop in Haishi.

Yuan Lu took it together.

Cheng Jiangli glanced at the car, and then glanced at the things in her hand, "Boyfriend?"

"No, it's my relative. ”

Cheng Jiangli stepped forward to help, but Yuan Lu avoided it and said, "My relatives are here, why don't you leave quickly?"

He propped one hand on the car and smiled, "Then I'll go." ”

"Let's go. Yuan Lu raised his chin.

Cheng Jiangli walked behind her and reached out to pick up her long hair, Yuan Lu avoided it, turned around, Cheng Jiangli pressed her shoulders and said, "Give you back your little rubber band, and help you tie your hair by the way." Panic what. ”

In front of the window on the third floor of the old bungalow, there was a figure standing there.

When Cheng Jiangli finished finishing and Yuan Lu turned around, the figure had already disappeared.

Cheng Jiangli: "See you tomorrow." ”

"Let's go. ”

Yuan Lu stood for a while before returning upstairs.

As soon as he walked to the platform between the second and third floors, he saw Sheng Xiao standing above and waiting, the door of Grandpa Qin's house was closed.

He stood there with a cigarette in his hand, looking at her condescendingly, waiting for her to come up.

Yuan Lu estimated that he had come down for such a trip, and it didn't take much effort, and this chess game was finished so quickly?

Also, she rarely saw him smoking, the smoke lingering around him, and the dim yellow light on his head. Yuan Lu felt that the scene in front of him was the same as a pictorial.

If she had a camera handy, she would have taken it.

As she walked up slowly, she asked, "Finished playing chess so soon?"

Sheng Xiao held on to the handrail of the stairs with one hand, she was carrying things in large bags and small bags, and she didn't come forward to help, "It's not early, the old people should rest early, I put the water, and it will naturally end early." ”

"If Grandpa Qin hears this, he will definitely fight you for three hundred rounds. ”

After a while, she walked up to him, "Then are you still going to sit at my house?"

She looked at the time, and it was indeed not early.

Sheng Xiao looked at her eyes, there was a bright smile in her eyes, it could be seen that she was very happy today, every time he came to see her, she was so happy.

The smoke between his fingers never moved, and the breeze swept through the porch, and the soot blew and drifted away a little.

"Isn't it the right time for me to come today?"

Yuan Lu was stunned for a second, and immediately explained: "That's my colleague, an intern who just came this year, working under me." Today he ran with him all day, so he invited him to a meal. I came here to return something just now. ”

Of course Yuan Lu wouldn't say that he was here to return the rubber band, sometimes she felt that she was facing Sheng Xiao like she was facing her parents, and she didn't dare to let him know about some things, let him see it.

"It's all here, go up and sit down, help me get some. ”

As she spoke, she offered to hand over one of the bags.

Sheng Xiao took it, he bent down and put out the cigarette butt on the ground, took the cigarette butt in his hand, followed her upstairs, entered the door, and threw the cigarette butt in the trash can.

Yuan Lu: "Did you buy this dessert?"

"It was for the client's daughter, and the assistant bought too much, so he brought one over to you. ”

"Thanks, I was thinking about this, I was too busy to buy it. ”

Sheng Xiao sat down on the sofa, Yuan Lu turned on the TV, and then went to boil water.

"I heard Grandma Qin say, you took the wrong medicine and went to the hospital yesterday?"

Yuan Lu sighed, "This Grandma Qin's mouth really can't hide something, it's just a trivial matter, why did she tell you." ”

Sheng Xiao: "I saw your colleague and said it casually." Why are you so careless? You can take the wrong medicine. ”

"It's busy, it's not as good now as it was then, after staying up for three nights, my brain is not very good. I didn't realize it when I took it wrong. ”

"Why do you have to take medicine again?"

That's the point.

Yuan Lu's smile faded a little, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I don't feel very good, so I want to take medicine, and I'm a little dependent." ”

She pulled a chair to the coffee table, and flipped through the things Yuan Meihua brought her, "Tell my second aunt, these skin care products, clothes, etc., I will buy them myself, she brings them to me every time, I can't use them up, there are a lot of them on the dresser." ”

"You'll have to tell her that yourself. But now that she's pregnant, she probably doesn't have anything else to think about. ”

Yuan Lu Yuguang glanced at him sneakily, paying attention to his expression.

In a family like theirs, pregnancy is a variable.

Sheng Xiao was indifferent to Yuan Meihua, but now that she is pregnant, she doesn't know what she will think.

She actually hopes that the two of them can live in harmony, no matter what, they are already a family.

She opened the dessert box, which contained several varieties of desserts, "Do you want to eat them?"

Sheng Xiao shook his head, "I don't eat sweets." ”

Yuan Lu took a Xue Mei Niang by himself and took a bite, very satisfied.

She pondered for a while, and still spoke: "The second aunt cherishes this marriage very much, and I feel that she loves her uncle very much." Because they love it very much, they will want a child, a child that belongs to both of them. Otherwise, she's in her fifties, and she doesn't have to suffer this crime, does she?"

"I'm not involved in their business. ”

"You're a family. ”

Sheng Xiao glanced at her and didn't make a sound.

But the meaning of this glance is already clear, he doesn't want to talk about these family matters.

Yuan Lu didn't mention it again, the water was boiling, and she went to make tea.

Because he came occasionally, she specially prepared fine tea.

Sheng Xiao: "I'm going to come to Haishi to open a branch. ”

"Huh?"

"I already made plans last year, but it's not actually a branch, so to speak, it's my own company. ”

Yuan Lu was stunned, is this ready to be independent?

She came over with tea, "Why? Uncle is such a big company, you don't help?"

"It's enough to have my dad, and I can't do things under him. Always come out and break through on your own, try to see where you can go. ”

Yuan Lu looked at him and felt in his heart that he was going to come out and work alone, not for this reason, but because Yuan Meihua was pregnant.

"Don't be, if my uncle doesn't have your helper, where will I have time to accompany my second aunt at that time, my second aunt is pregnant, and she needs someone to accompany her the most. She is also an advanced maternal age, so there must be a lot to pay attention to. ”

"Rest assured, it has been taken care of by a professional nanny, and there will be no problems. I've already decided on this. ”

"You told your uncle?"

"I said it. ”

Yuan Lu nodded, "Have you found the company's address?"

"It's pretty much the same, but there's a project in Beicheng that still needs to be completed, so it may not be until the end of the year. He said, took a key out, "This is the house I asked my assistant to buy for me, although it is finely decorated, I went to see it today, and I don't like that style very much." See if you have time to help me reinstall it. ”

"There's no hurry, you can take your time. ”

The house is bought, which means that it is ready for long-term development here, and it is also an attitude of preparing to separate from the family.

Yuan Lu: "What about the company?

"I'm still looking for a suitable place, do you have any good places to recommend? ”

The corners of Yuan Lu's mouth were stained with cream, she was not very interested, she lowered her fingers, and said, "I don't know, I feel that Haishi is not as good as Beicheng after all, I think you should stay in Beicheng." ”

"Is it delicious?" Sheng Xiao didn't continue to discuss with her.

"It's delicious. ”

He finished his cup of tea and left.

Yuan Lu stood by the window, watched him get into the car, and the car drove away, before taking a change of clothes, taking a shower and sleeping.

Early the next morning, before her alarm clock rang, Cheng Jiangli's phone came first.

"What to eat for breakfast. ”

Yuan Lu was still confused, "Yonghe soybean milk." ”

"Vegetable bun or meat bun?"

"Meat buns. ”

"Good. ”

With that, he hung up the phone.

Yuan Lu stuffed the phone back under the pillow and continued to sleep, waiting for the alarm clock to ring, she sat up, and after sitting for a few seconds, she hurriedly got up to wash, put on makeup, change clothes, and half an hour passed after one set.

When I went downstairs, I said hello to my grandparents, and when I went out of the gate, I saw Cheng Jiangli's car parked on the side of the road.

Seeing her come out, Cheng Jiangli lowered the window of the car and beckoned to her.

Yuan Lu walked to the car, "Why are you here?"

"I came by to pick you up and go to work with me, and I bought you breakfast. ”

Yuan Lu only remembered it later, and answered the phone in a daze in the morning.

"Okay. Yuan Lu went around the front of the car, opened the co-pilot's door and got into the car.

He bought two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk.

Yuan Lu: "Do you suggest I have breakfast in the car?"

"Eat. ”

Yuan Lu opened the plastic bag and took a bite, and it tasted excellent.

"Where did you buy it?"

"On the way, it's a time-honored store, it's delicious, right?"

Yuan Lu nodded, "It's delicious." ”

She ate one after three or two bites, and she was still a little unsatisfied after eating two.

Cheng Jiangli said: "I will bring it to you every day in the future." ”

Yuan Lu: "You don't have to pick me up every day. ”

"Isn't it good to have a ride?"

"I prefer to take the subway. She took a sip of soy milk.

She dug out her mobile phone from her bag, there was an added message on WeChat, there was no remarks, the WeChat name was also blank, and the avatar was all black.

There was no other information, Yuan Lu guessed who he was, she thought about it, and put it down. She tucked her phone back into her bag, looked sideways out the window, and took a sip of soy milk.

to the company.

Yuan Lu put down the bag, went to make a cup of coffee first, and then sat down to work.

She asked Sister Fangfang, "Sister Fangfang, is there a reliable design company to introduce? I have a house to decorate, there is no special restriction on the price, but the quality must be good." ”

"Have you bought a house?" Sister Fang Fang is the old man of the company, the creative director of their group, with two groups of people on hand, and she was taken care of by her when she first came to the company.

"No, my friend's house, he didn't have time to follow up, so he asked me to help. Everyone spoke, and I had no choice but to agree. ”

"What friend? boyfriend. ”

Yuan Lu: "No, it's a relative, and I'm going to come here to develop." ”

"It's so rich, the house is said to be bought, where is the house?"

"It seems to be a fragrant house. ”

"New real estate, very expensive, that place. Your relatives are local tyrants?"

"It's not a tyrant, it's a rich man. Yuan Lu replied seriously, "Our bordered relatives only have the share of hands." You introduce me to a reliable one, and I'll go over and take a look on Saturdays and Sundays. ”

Fang Fang is a local and must be familiar with this aspect.

"A while ago, my cousin decorated and looked for a Ming decoration, I'll show you the finished product, I look pretty good. Fangfang took out her phone, flipped through the photos, and handed it to her.

It is a new Chinese decoration, relatively simple, and it looks quite comfortable.

Fangfang said, "What style do your relatives like?"

This Sheng Xiao didn't say, and Yuan Lu didn't ask, "I'll ask when the time comes." ”

"It's best to decorate this or check it personally, and these decoration companies must discount the materials, but it's very tiring to do it yourself. If your relatives have money, it doesn't matter, unlike us wage earners, who need to be careful to spend money, and you have to think about buying a house for a long time, and you have to calculate the monthly payment. ”

Fangfang: "The housing prices in this sea market are rising, if it weren't for the good foundation of my parents, I wouldn't have to think about it in my life." ”

"Xiaolu, are you considering buying a house in Haishi?"

Yuan Lu shook his head: "I can't afford it, I don't necessarily stay in Haishi all the time, now I want to try all kinds of possibilities at a young age, maybe I want to go home in two years." ”

"That's right, to be honest, it's better to live in a small city, and it's not so stressful. ”

Later, Fang Fang showed her address.

Yuan Lu wrote it down in the notepad, and then sent Sheng Xiao a WeChat message, asking him if he was free in the evening, and she had dinner together, and she had a treat.

Sheng Xiao didn't reply to the message until the afternoon, saying that there was a party in the evening and he wanted to be tomorrow.

Yuan Lu sent an OK picture.

......

Jiang Ren was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, Jing Fei came to pick up people, and met Yan Yan at the door.

"Cousin. ”

Yan Yan saw that her heart sank, smiled at her, and said, "When did you come back?"

"Yesterday. ”

"Oh. She nodded.

She knew a little about Jing Fei's family background, and she also knew Jing Fei's thoughts, and when she was about to arrive at the door of the ward, Yan Yan stopped, "That, I remember that the company has something important to go back to deal with, and Jiang Ren is afraid that he will trouble you here." ”

Jing Fei: "Go ahead, I'm here here." ”

Yan Yan nodded, "Then I'll go first, you call me if there's anything." ”

"Don't worry. ”

She looked at her for a moment, then turned and left.

When Jing Fei arrived at the door of the ward, there was no one in the ward, and Jiang Ren had already left first.

Jiang Ren's newly appointed assistant Xia Xuan received a call from Jiang Ren early in the morning and came to pick him up and discharge him from the hospital.

He went around the company and went home.

Along the way, there were constant phone calls, and as soon as funds were tight, all kinds of things came out one after another.

There is no other way than dragging.

When he returned home, Xia Xuan helped him boil water, there was nothing in the kitchen, only a bundle of noodles was found, I didn't know the date, and it looked like it had been a long time.

"Mr. Jiang, you don't have anything in the kitchen, or I'll go out and buy some things and come back?"

"No need, you go back to the company, call me in time if there is anything. ”

Soon after Xia Xuan left, Jiang Ren took the car keys and went out.

He called a substitute driver, and the car entered Zhongnan Tianyue.

After stopping, Jiang Ren took out his mobile phone and made a call.

After a while, the phone rang.

"Are you at home?" Jiang Ren asked.

"I'll come up and cook me a bowl of noodles. ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone, paid the money for the substitute driver, and went upstairs.

The elevator stopped on the eighth floor, and when I got out, the door to room 801 was open. He changed his shoes and went in, and the smell of food wafted through the room.

The woman came out of the kitchen, saw him, and said with a smile: "You came at the right time, I stewed a chicken for myself today, you have a mouthful." But if you insist on eating noodles, I can make it for you. ”

Jiang Ren smiled, "That's just in time, my current situation is exactly the time when I need nourishment." ”

"Sit down. She pulled back the chair from the dining table.

......

After getting off work in the evening, Yuan Lu called a car in advance, and went downstairs to Didi Che and was already waiting at the door of the company.

Kevin's place of residence is a bit out of the way, a bit far from the subway station, so it's more convenient to take a taxi.

She made an appointment in advance, and Kevin said to ask her to go to the house for dinner.

She ordered a bottle of red wine for takeout in advance, and brought it over after work.

By the time he arrived, Kevin had already prepared the meal.

"Waiting?" she said, handing over the wine.

Kevin took it and said with a smile: "Just wait ten minutes, almost just right, you sit down first, I'll go get the decanter." ”

"Hmm. ”

She entered the kitchen, and Yuan Lu sat on a chair in the entrance to change her shoes.

The house is not big, but the dΓ©cor is chic, it feels very comfortable, and it is easy to relax as soon as you enter the door.

Incense was lit in the room to relax her nerves, and she put her coat and bag on the sofa, then sat down at the table and waited.

Kevin came out with a decanter bottle, "Just wake up and drink it." ”

She poured two cups, one in Yuan Lu's hand and one for herself.

Yuan Lu took a sip, it tasted good, this winery was introduced to her by Cheng Jiangli.

He probably knows, so free shipping.

Cheng Jiangli asked for a box, and she took a bottle.

Kevin said, "How's it going? You haven't been looking for me, and I thought you'd have dealt with it on your own." ”

Kevin made steak with vegetable salad.

Yuan Lu took the chopsticks, ate two bites of salad first, and said, "Kevin, do you think this god is playing tricks on me? The sea market is so big, and the country Z is so big, how can it be so coincidental that we actually work in a building." The day before yesterday, he broke into my house, what do you think he is going to do?"

"Maybe it's because I feel ashamed in my heart, I met so suddenly, I want to see if you're doing well. ”

"I have a fire in my heart now, and I have a terrible thought that I can't control every day. ”

"Want revenge?"

Yuan Lu raised his eyes to meet her gaze, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out, not hiding himself, "Yes, I want to take revenge on him." ”

She took a sip of wine and smiled helplessly, "It seems that it is difficult for me to let go." ”

"I think you should find something else to do, or you should really start a new relationship, and when you really start a new relationship, you'll be relieved. I suggest you give it a try. ”

Yuan Lu held his chin and thought about what she said.

"You should try to open yourself up and accept others. Don't be afraid to love, you should be more mature now than before, and you will be able to tell whether the other person is sincere or false in the face of any man. Actually, you don't have to think too much, as long as you feel that you can find a feeling of happiness in this person, it is enough. Do you still have a gym on weekdays?"

Yuan Lu nodded, "Yes, although I am very reluctant, I will force myself to go to the gym for an hour every day, and I also go to bed early at night, and recently I will listen to cross talk for an hour before going to bed every night." ”

"Very good. ”

Yuan Lu took one cup after another, and told Kevin in detail about the events of the past two days.

"You know when I was happiest, when I saw him uncomfortably depressed. I feel like I might be a little perverted in my heart, and I always want to dump him hard, I want him to cry and beg me, hurt him like he hurt me. ”

Kevin: "But you know, it's a repeat of the past. ”

Yuan Lu lay down, closed his eyes, and said, "Yes, so I endured it, I wanted to let go, and I wanted to treat him as a stranger." I should live my new life, maybe really like you said, I should find a boyfriend and start a new relationship. ”

The stamina of red wine is not small, Yuan Lu lay on Kevin's sofa, and almost fell asleep in a daze.

She squinted for a moment before leaving.

Standing in the elevator, her mind was chaotic, but clear.

She leaned against the elevator wall and watched the elevator numbers drop.

When she was about to reach the first floor, she dug out her phone from her bag and opened it to shake it, ready to play an exciting game.
