Chapter 119: Leave of absence

Yuan Lu finished drinking the tea before leaving, and Jiang Ren did not obstruct him.

After she said that, he didn't speak again, because he knew that no matter what he said, no matter how much he said, it was useless. So there is no need for this kind of verbal dispute.

After Yuan Lu left, he went back to his home, he had something to take, but he didn't find it after looking at home for a long time, thinking that Yan Yan had taken it before, he took the spare key, entered Yan Yan's house, and when he entered, he saw the wedding dress he had instructed the people of the foundation to send to Yuan Lu.

Placed in a corner of the living room, like an ornament.

Just now, the phone in my hand went through.

"Jiang Ren?" Yan Yan's voice was unique to her work, she didn't know that Jiang Ren was in her room at this time.

In fact, she had long thought about telling him about the wedding dress and then returning it to him, but it dragged on day by day, and it dragged on until today.

It made Jiang Ren misunderstand and mistakenly thought that Yuan Lu had accepted the wedding dress.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, Zou Yan sensed that something was wrong, and called again, with caution and temptation, "Jiang Ren?"

"Where's my seal?" he began, his tone sounding unusual.

Yan Yan said the location, and he hung up.

Immediately after, Yan Yan reacted and immediately called the phone back, but Jiang Ren didn't answer.

After hitting three times in a row, she didn't continue.

She sat in her position, holding the mobile phone in her hand in a daze, her heart was full of grievances, her eyes were hot, but the tears were only turned around in her eyes before she forced back. Just as the phone rang, it pulled her mind back, she lowered her eyes, saw the number, and couldn't help frowning, but still picked it up.

"Mr. Jing. ”

"Old place at night, don't be late. ”

"I'm not feeling well today. ”

"What's wrong?"

Yan Yan lowered her eyes, held the pen, and the tip of the pen made a hard scratch on the white paper, saying, "The menstrual holiday is coming." ”

Jing Chong was silent for a few seconds and then chuckled, "You come quite often during your periods, twice a month?"

Yan Yan forgot that she rejected him last time, and she also used this reason, just at the beginning of the month, within a few days.

She was speechless, and rescratched the blank paper.

Jing Chong's tone was cold, "You can choose not to come." ”

After saying that, the phone was cut off.

Yan Yan put down her phone, thought for a while, sent a message to Jiang Ren, briefly explained the situation of the wedding dress, and then continued to work.

......

Yuan Lu came out of the tea room, and took a taxi directly to Sheng Xiao's company, she went to his company for the first time, and explained to the front desk, and the other party asked her to go directly to Sheng Xiao's office.

I guess he said it in advance.

He rented several floors here in one go, and his company's name, Hesheng Real Estate, was hung above the building. His office was a separate floor, and Yuan Lu went out of the elevator and stepped on the carpet, silently.

It happened that Li Tezhu came out, and the people downstairs called him to inform him of the situation, and now that Sheng Xiao was in a meeting, he came over to receive people.

"Mr. Sheng is still in a meeting, I'll take you to the office first. ”

"Do you have something to do? You can arrange it for me directly, I'm here to replace General Secretary Sheng." ”

Li Tezhu rolled his eyes and said: "Mr. Sheng's secretary, Mr. Sheng has always instructed him to do things, and he can't help others. ”

"Well, I'll go to the office and wait for him. ”

"Hmm. Li Tezhu took her in, the office is very large, there are reception rooms, there are also lounges.

Yuan Lu sat on the sofa, and Li Tezhu: "What do you want to drink?"

"You don't have to entertain me, you tell me where the pantry is, I'll get it myself. ”

Li Tezhu followed her wishes and took her to the pantry, Yuan Lu looked around, got a cup of coffee, and Li Tezhu stayed for a while and went to do things on his own.

Yuan Lu didn't go back to the office, stayed in the pantry for a while, and then walked around.

Walking to the door of the conference room, the door was hidden and they could be heard. She stood at the door for a while, she didn't know much about what they were discussing at the moment, and when it came to the professional aspect, she was also confused, not very understanding.

Sheng Xiao's meeting ended early, and when he returned to the office, he didn't see Yuan Lu's people, only the note she left on the desk.

At the beginning, there are three words about the leave note.

[I still miss my parents very much, please allow me to go home early. At the end, she left her own name and drew a line for him to sign.

He took his cell phone and dialed her number.

It took a long time for the old man to pick it up.

Yuan Lu will be on the way home, and the subway she took didn't arrive home so quickly.

Sheng Xiao: "You are so perfunctory to me?"

Yuan Lu is now difficult to talk to him calmly, feeling that every sentence is ambiguous, she held back for a long time, and said: "Look at the trash can, I typed several drafts, and finally finalized the one." ”

Sheng Xiao followed what she said, glanced at the trash can next to her, and there were indeed several paper balls, "You're leaving today?"

"Well, I don't drive anymore, I've already bought a train ticket online. Go home and grab your luggage and head to the station. ”

"It's going to be a big deal. ”

She smiled, "You're busy." ”

"I'm done, and I have a lot of things to do for you, but it turned out to be good, and I just made you wait an hour and a half, and you ran away for me. You can't wait a minute. ”

"Your Li Tezhu is very competent. ”

"Don't give him too high a hat, if he hears it, he will resent you in his heart and make him do a lot of work. ”

Sheng Xiao stared at the leave slip, and once again noticed the position she outlined that needed him to sign, and raised his eyebrows, "If I don't sign, won't you be able to leave?"

Without waiting for Yuan Lu to speak, he said with a smile: "If you go back like this now and let your parents see you, how can you explain?"

"Come back. The last two words, neither light nor heavy, have a somewhat commanding tone.

Yuan Lu hugged her neck, he didn't mention it like this, she forgot about it. The thing on this neck is really eye-catching, and it's not easy to explain.

She couldn't help but complain, "You're so annoying. ”

She hung up the phone and didn't go back, and when she got home, she took her luggage, changed her car ticket, and prepared to go to the tourist attractions before going home.

Carrying his luggage out, Uncle Qin happened to come in, and the two met head-on, "Miss Yuan, Mr. Sheng instructed me to come and take you to the station." And this, Mr. Sheng said that it would be better to apply it quickly. ”

Yuan Lu pursed his lips, his cheeks became hot, and he quickly flushed. Uncle Qin was not a gossip person, and there was no extra expression on his face, he just diligently carried her luggage and walked out.

Yuan Lu followed him out and asked, "When did he explain to you?"

"I explained it yesterday, so I've been waiting nearby. Mr. Gangsheng called me and I came over. ”

No wonder Uncle Qin can appear in such a timely manner.

It's just that she didn't expect Sheng Xiao to confess yesterday, and he guessed her thoughts thoroughly.

Yuan Lu didn't think about what happened last night, and just went home wholeheartedly.

While waiting for the train at the station, while Uncle Qin was still there, she went to the bathroom, untied the silk scarf, looked at the tooth marks on her neck, applied a layer of plaster, and retied the silk scarf.

She didn't go home, and the ticket was changed to Hangzhou.

After getting in the car, I called Xie Dongshu and asked him to help arrange a comfortable hotel, and she was going to stay for two days.

It takes two hours to drive, and when the Chinese New Year is approaching, the Spring Festival begins, and there are more people. However, now that the traffic is developed, it is not as crowded as before.

When he arrived in Hangzhou, Yuan Lu walked out of the station with the flow of people, and Xie Dongshu stood conspicuous at a glance.

Xie Dongshu took her to dinner first, and called his girlfriend together.

Yuan Lu knew that he had a girlfriend, and he had posted a circle of friends to tell the world that he was off the list, and the girl in the photo was very beautiful. Xie Dongshu is a face control, when he was a fat man before, he didn't shy away from beauties because he was a fat man, but now that he has lost weight and has been reborn as a handsome guy, he will not lower his vision.

After he picked her up, he went to pick up her girlfriend from work, just at the right time.

On the way to the restaurant, Yuan Lu ate dog food all the way.

Xie Dongshu is the kind of man who has honey on his mouth, he is very good at making women happy, and his girlfriend is still a little embarrassed, he has no face and no skin, which will admit that Yuan Lu is his brother.

Yuan Lu interjected at the right time and said, "I can treat you as a sister." ”

The car stopped at a red light, and Xie Dongshu turned around and winked at her.

Yuan Lu smiled, "Okay, good." Brothers are brothers, I suffer a little loss. ”

His girlfriend's eyes swirled over the two of them, in fact, when she saw Yuan Lu for the first time, she chuckled in her heart, but thinking that Xie Dongshu had brought her over to eat together, there should be no problem.

But Yuan Lu is too good-looking, she really doesn't believe that there can be pure friendship between the two.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the three of them made a private room, and Xie Dongshu went to the toilet after ordering.

There are two women left in the private room, and Xie Dongshu's girlfriend also has a tree in her name, and she is called Xiaoshu.

She is a few years younger than Xie Dongshu, and she has only graduated for two years.

I like Xie Dongshu very much, so I am also cautious about her, although I have suspicions, I don't dare to ask.

Yuan Lu took the initiative to speak, "He didn't introduce me to you?"

"I briefly introduced you on the phone that you met when you were studying abroad. He'll still be a fat man, you're his goddess, I've been chasing you for a long time, but I haven't caught you. ”

Yuan Lu smiled, "Then what he said is quite comprehensive, it is true." He was a very funny person, he was very cute when he was a fat man, and the love between men and women was not born, but the revolutionary friendship was cultivated. I went abroad to study because something happened here, and I haven't been very happy abroad, and I'm not familiar with life, so I'm in a bad mood. He helped me a lot, just like Dabai. You don't have to think about it, we are not the kind of relationship between Cheng Youqing and Li Daren, I don't like him. When he is with you, he really likes you, not a second-best choice. ”

She had to make her words clear, so as not to ruin the relationship between the two.

"I'm looking for him because he's got a girlfriend, and if he doesn't have a girlfriend, I don't play with him alone. ”

The little tree smiled.

Xie Dongshu came back soon, and the atmosphere was lively again.

Halfway through eating, Xie Dongshu looked at the silk scarf around Yuan Lu's neck very uncomfortable, pulled it, and said, "Aren't you uncomfortable around? ”

Yuan Lu reacted very quickly, immediately hugged his neck, choked on the chili oil, and after a cough, his face turned red, and even his neck was red. She took a sip of water, glanced at him, and said, "You can handle it." ”

Xie Dongshu was an old fritter, and he soon found out that he was tired, "What's the matter, there is something unsightly?"

The red she had just faded from was dyed again, "Can you handle it?" ”

After eating, Xie Dongshu sent her to the resort hotel, where the environment was good and met her needs. He asked Xiaoshu to wait in the car and sent Yuan Lu to the room by himself.

He booked her a small detached villa, "It's rare for you to come, I'll pay for the expenses." ”

"It's so generous. ”

"What's this. ”

When she arrived at the villa, Xie Dongshu accompanied her to look around, and she was quite satisfied, "Thank you." ”

Xie Dongshu said, "Why didn't your boyfriend come with you? Let you come back alone." ”

"What nonsense, I don't have a boyfriend. ”

He snorted twice and didn't ask, "Remember to show me, I'll help you check the gates, no man can escape my eyes." You're a man with high eyes, and I'd love to see what kind of man you're looking for. ”

"Let's go, don't keep your girlfriend waiting too long. ”

Not long after Xie Dongshu left, Sheng Xiao's phone called.

"Arriving home?"

Yuan Lu found the kettle to boil water, "No, I'm in Hangzhou, and I'm going to play for two days and then go back." ”

He chuckled, and there was a deep meaning in that laughter.

"Then you have fun and stay safe. ”

"Oh. She replied perfunctorily.

The words fell, and both ends fell silent.

After a while, Yuan Lu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I'm hanging." ”

The phone hung up, Yuan Lu put the phone on the table, rubbed his forehead, was a little upset for a while, it was difficult to parry, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

She stayed in Hangzhou for three days, the weather was not beautiful, the second day she came, it began to rain, day by day, she did not go out, stayed in the hotel all day. Xie Dongshu wanted to come to play with her, but she pushed him and told him not to disturb her recuperation.

Sleep until you wake up naturally every day, and then sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, look at the scenery outside in a daze, or read a book, which is very clean. Rejuvenate your body and mind and relax your mind.

During this period, she received a photo of Xiao Tan and her subject, the two of them were very close, their hands were tightly clasped together, and they looked very sweet. The two are a good match.

Falling in love has always been a simple matter, not complicated, nor difficult, as long as you are willing.

The tooth marks on the neck are only slightly lighter and can be covered with foundation.

The ointment does work.

The rain continued to fall, and the weather was cold and uncomfortable. Yuan Lu stayed for another two days before returning to Yuecheng.

Both sides of the road are covered with lanterns, giving it a bit of a New Year's atmosphere.

When she arrived at home, Yuan Zheng had already started to take a vacation, and Pei Li would have to be a little later, after all, it was a hospital, and the nature of other units was different, but in the past two years, she has always had the idea of retiring and wanted to take care of Yuan Lu wholeheartedly.

The days at home are the most comfortable times for Yuan Lu.

Sleep lazily in the morning, or accompany Pei Li to buy vegetables, and in the evening the family of three goes to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods.

Like when I was a kid.

When I was a child, my parents were stricter, I didn't take much of this, I didn't want much of that, but when I grew up, I was more indulgent to her, but when she grew up, she didn't want to eat everything when she saw it, and she couldn't wait to move the supermarket home.

Two days before the Chinese New Year, high school classmates organized a dinner, Chen Meng called her along, Yuan Lu didn't want to go very much, but she said that there were no people, she didn't really believe it, but she still went.

There are some things that she has been avoiding but it seems that she has a problem.

On that day, she dressed up casually and pinched the time to pass.

By the time, everyone had almost arrived, and Chen Meng picked her up at the door of the hotel. At the door, I also met Yu Mingxue, who happened to come over.

Six years ago, thanks to him, he told her the truth, but Yuan Lu never had a chance to thank him, and I don't know if he was implicated in the future.

In this way, it seems that this trip is quite rewarding.

He looked a lot more mature, and he was very happy to see her, exchanged a few words, and entered the hotel together.

Everyone is almost here, I haven't seen them for many years, everyone has changed, half of them have married and had children, and all of them are happy and fat. They were quite happy to see Yuan Lu, and they thought that she would not come.

Because I was in the same class, I was inevitably impressed by what happened six years ago.

Yuan Lu sat with Yu Mingxue and Chen Meng, she sat in the middle, most of the time chatting with Yu Mingxue, asking some if there was any.

Let's talk about what's going on.

He stayed in school, and now he has a certain position in the school, and he is ready to go up and see where he can go.

He said: "I have been thinking of you for the past few years, and now I am quite relieved to see you like this." ”

Yuan Lu smiled and shrugged.

I thought that this meal could be eaten safely and soundly, and everyone had a good atmosphere, but who knew that in the middle of the meal, the lights suddenly went out, and then the door of the private room was pushed open, and someone came in with a cake, singing a birthday song, wishing Yuan Lu.

After singing, the lights came on, and the four of them stood together, bowed deeply to her, and said sorry.

Yuan Lu didn't react at first, because she actually didn't remember the appearance of these people very well, and when everyone was waiting for her to respond, she didn't know what was going on.

The person holding the cake was Zhou Ying, and he put the cake on the table, "Yuan Lu, we haven't found a chance to apologize to you for what happened at the beginning." Today is the opportunity to take this opportunity to say sorry to you, and hope that you can forgive us for our youthful and ignorant behavior. ”

The other three pandered, "yes, it was we who didn't know the severity and hurt you." ”

Yuan Lu didn't know that there was such an easter egg hidden today, she glanced sideways at Chen Meng, and before she could speak, Yuan Lu turned her head, looked at those people, and looked at them carefully, when she was in school, she was actually not familiar with these people, so when Yu Mingxue told her six years ago, she had almost no impression.

Now there is.

"It's really bothering. She glanced at the cake, "I want to ask, whose idea was it?"

Zhou Ying said: "It's me, I think it's been so long, I should come out to make a statement, I didn't come out directly at that time, maybe I'm still young and don't know how to deal with it." Now that I'm older, I think back to what happened at that time, and I think it's really too much, for you as a girl. Therefore, I think that no matter how long it has been, this apology should still be addressed to you. It doesn't matter if you accept it or not. ”

Yuan Lu smiled, fortunately the meal had already been eaten, otherwise it would be too disappointing.

"If you come to apologize to me at any time in private, I still think it's a little sincere, but you put on this battle and it makes me feel like you're putting on a show. I don't know who you're going to show it to, or if you want to force me to forgive you. What I don't like the most is formalism, and this method is obviously not good. Boring and contrived. She took her bag and clothes, said to the squad leader, and was about to leave.

Zhou Ying was not annoyed, but still expressed his sincerity, "We are sincere." ”

Yuan Lu ignored him and looked at Chen Meng, "You come out with me." ”

She told Yu Mingxue to make an appointment another day, so she went out first, and the scene was a little embarrassing. Zhou Ying was very faceless, and he glanced at Yu Mingxue.

Chen Meng wore a coat and came out, "I don't know ...... either"

Without waiting for her to explain, Yuan Lu stopped his steps, and the moment he turned around, he directly slapped her.

Before she came out, she was speculating if there would be any unexpected 'surprises' at this meal, and sure enough, there was an unexpected surprise.

Chen Meng was stunned by this slap, her eyes widened, and she didn't react for a long time.

Someone walked by and couldn't help but glance at them.

Chen Meng was a little faceless, she frowned slightly, "What are you doing?"

"Don't do anything, I just want to tell you, let's not contact each other in the future, let's delete each other. ”

She didn't want to ask, so be it.

But Chen Meng naturally won't just give up, she chased out after her, and when she arrived at the parking lot, there were few people here, but the wind was strong, and it hurt very much. Yuan Lu was just about to get into the car, but she grabbed the person, "You have to make it clear, right?"

Yuan Lu: "Do you need to say it? You know best what you have done yourself, and you still need me to say? Chen Meng, I treat you as a friend, you treat me as a fool, after so many years, you should have played enough, right? I don't know that you and Jing Fei are also very good, you colluded and put me behind my back, I won't pursue it." I'm actually very small-minded and don't measure, but I won't forgive anyone who is sorry for me. ”

"I've given you a chance, but you're still letting me down, so don't contact again, lest we feel uncomfortable with each other. ”

Chen Meng didn't react at once, and couldn't say a word with his mouth open.

Yuan Lu shook off her hand, glanced at her, and got into the car by himself.

The car drove past Chen Meng without stopping for half a minute.

On the road, she encountered a red light, Yuan Lu took a breath, took out her mobile phone, Chen Meng's phone came in, she hung up directly, pulled into the blacklist, including WeChat, and then deleted.

She didn't want to pursue any further, and she didn't want to hear anything from her.

Because she doesn't know how much she has hidden, she is really afraid that those things from six years ago, she also got involved, which is equivalent to sticking another knife in her heart, and she doesn't want to be hurt again.

So cut through the mess with a quick knife and cut it all in one fell swoop.

Regardless of the rest, just with the photo she sent to Jing Fei, there was no need for her to communicate with her again.

Just because she knew that she would not forgive those people, and allowed them to run in and sing this play, their friendship came to an end.

Chen Meng stood in place, the cold wind blowing, and tears welled up in his eyes. Zhou Ying came out and saw her standing alone, "Gone?"

She nodded, quickly wiped away her tears, and said, "She seems to know something." ”

"Okay, I'll figure it out myself. Zhou Ying lost the cigarette butt in his hand.

There is gossip that Jiang Ren followed Jing Fei home, and it seems that he has been recognized by his family, and it is estimated that he will get engaged after the year. He called last year to ask Jiang Ren if he would come back, and he said that he would not come back for the New Year, although he didn't say it directly, it is estimated that he will celebrate the New Year with Jing Fei in Beicheng.

......

During the Chinese New Year this year, they went to the countryside to spend time with their grandparents.

They came a day early, the house in the countryside is large, there are many rooms, and a few rooms will be arranged every year. Yuan Lu lived in the countryside for several days, helping his grandmother feed the chickens and ducks, and helping the uncle who lived next door to take care of his grandchildren.

I also learned how to make dumplings and steamed buns from my grandmother.

It's a pity that the hands are clumsy and poorly done.

This year, the second aunt was pregnant, so she didn't come over, and now Yuan Zheng has a good relationship with Yuan Meihua, so no one said in front of him that Yuan Meihua was not, only that she was blessed.

At noon on the third day of the first lunar month, Sheng Xiao called her, and during this time, the two had no contact.

didn't call, didn't send a message, but she posted on Moments, and she could see him liking it.

"Cousin. She held her little grandson with one hand and answered the phone with the other, the little grandson was restless, his eyes lit up when he saw the mobile phone, and he kept grabbing it. The strength is still great, so she snatched it up, and she didn't hear what Sheng Xiao said.

Yuan Lu was troubled by him.

Just when the uncle came out and took the child away, she took back the mobile phone and called again, "Cousin, just now my little nephew snatched the mobile phone, what did you say?"

"Still in the country?"

"Hmm. She walked under the tree and stared at the chickens.

"I'm here at your house, you have to come and pick me up. ”
