Chapter Seventy-Nine: I'm Here
On the other end of the phone, Mo Xintong was already in a hurry: "Zhang Le, where are you now? Why haven't you arrived yet!"
Zhang Le sweated wildly, this person was forgetful when he was busy, he actually forgot all about such an important matter, and just now he told Wen Jianqing that he would go to dinner together in the evening......
If Mo Xintong hadn't called, he estimated that he would have gone to dinner with Wen Jianqing later......
"Xiaotong, I'm sorry, I've been delayed for something, so I'll pass. Zhang Le said that he hurriedly arranged all the things at hand and prepared to set off.
Originally, Mo Xintong told him that he was going to arrive before five o'clock, but it was already six o'clock at this time......
Tragedy!
When he went out, Zhang Lecai remembered another thing, what about the gift he had prepared!!?
Crashed!
Zhang Le hurriedly called He Boxin again, knowing that the things were already on the way, he was relieved, so he told He Boxin the address, and asked He Boxin to tell the person later, and send the things over directly.
Originally, He Boxin told him that he would send it to the TV station, and he was going to the banquet at this time, but he had no time to wait, so he could only let people bring the gifts to Pei's house.
Mo Xintong's grandmother's birthday banquet was held at home, and the Pei family was also a well-known family in Fujiang City.
The Pei family's mansion is on the outskirts of the city, Zhang Le passed from the TV station, it will take almost twenty minutes, plus this rush hour, the road is still a little blocked, even if he wants to, he can't be fast.
On the way, Mo Xintong also called him twice, and when Zhang Le arrived at Pei's house, it was almost seven o'clock, and it was dark.
When Zhang Le drove on the highway, he could already see the lights in the big mansion, and the open space outside the house was already full of cars, and the noise in the house was heard very clearly in this empty suburb.
Zhang Le finally found a parking space, but the car hadn't been parked yet, Mo Xintong called again to urge, and he was really anxious to hear the voice: "Have you arrived?"
"It's here!Just parked the car!" Zhang Le smiled bitterly, he really didn't mean it, but if Mo Xintong knew that he had forgotten such an important matter, he would probably be killed.
"I'm going out now. Mo Xintong hurriedly said, "You wait there." ”
Zhang Le was inexplicable, he didn't have to go in by himself, why did he have to let Mo Xintong come out to pick him up.
But he didn't wait long, and within a few minutes, Mo Xintong came out.
Zhang Le saw Mo Xintong walking towards him from a distance, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Mo Xintong also deliberately changed into an evening dress tonight, dressed up a little, and pulled up her hair in a high bun, revealing a perfect swan neck, and the lake-blue long skirt made her more and more slim, elegant and charming.
She was already very beautiful, and if she dressed up like this, she was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it, and Zhang Le almost didn't dare to admit it.
Mo Xintong glared at him and said coquettishly, "What are you doing in a daze?"
Zhang Le smiled awkwardly: "No, you just came out, I almost didn't dare to admit it!"
As he spoke, he looked at it again and praised it sincerely, "You really look good in this dress." ”
A flush flew up on Mo Xintong's face, and he bit his teeth lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and follow me in! You really said, you told you to come over early tonight, what time is it now! You deliberately want to embarrass me, don't you?"
Zhang Le saw Mo Xintong's somewhat aggrieved and resentful expression, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I've been too busy this time, I've been so busy that I forgot all the time!"
As he spoke, he whispered again, "Are you okay?"
Mo Xintong said angrily: "Besides, if you don't come again, you can collect the body for me." ”
Zhang Le couldn't cry or laugh: "Is it that serious?"
Hearing Zhang Le's words, Mo Xintong seemed to have touched something, lowered his eyes, and his eyes were a little red.
After a long while, he said softly, "You don't have to come......"
Zhang Le was stunned, and suddenly understood the meaning of Mo Xintong's words, and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I really didn't mean to, I didn't want to come, and I didn't mean to be late to make you embarrassed......"
When Mo Xintong asked him that day, he had already made his situation very clear to him, but he still delayed his arrival, which inevitably made Mo Xintong a little misunderstood, thinking that he didn't want to wade into this troubled water.
Although she herself is in a difficult situation, she still prefers to carry it herself rather than trouble others.
Seeing Mo Xintong like this, Zhang Le felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, Mo Xintong was only in her early twenties, and she had just graduated from college, so she had to face this kind of thing alone.
In this house, those who should have been her relatives and people who should have been able to give her help and support have all become her enemies, and she has no one to rely on, and she must be very uncomfortable in her heart.
Thinking of this, Zhang Le couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then said in a low voice: "Xiaotong, don't worry, isn't there still me? No matter what, I will face it with you." ”
Mo Xintong said softly: "Have you thought it through, do you know what you have to face when you go in with me?" Maybe I will cause you a lot of trouble......
"Trouble?" Zhang Le smiled: "I've never been afraid of any trouble...... What's more, it's not necessarily who will cause trouble to whom. ”
Mo Xintong whispered: "I'm afraid that my grandmother won't be able to speak well later...... And in front of so many people...... I, I'm asking you to help, but if you really don't want to, don't force it.
It's my family's business, it's my own business, you don't have to ...... You don't have to go with me. ”
Zhang Le smiled indifferently: "If I was worried about these problems, I wouldn't come! Don't worry, didn't I say it, I can face anything with you!"
Therefore, don't treat me as an outsider, no matter what you have in the future, you can come to me no matter what trouble you encounter! Don't be polite to me!"
After Zhang Le finished speaking, he directly took Mo Xintong's hand, looked at her, and said, "Let's go, let's go in! Don't be afraid! It's okay!"
The Pei family's mansion is really spacious, the front yard is a lawn, very beautifully trimmed, and there are two rows of very neat willow trees planted next to it.
The courtyard is very lively, Zhang Le took a cursory look at the more than a dozen tables of people, and it is estimated that there are one or two hundred, there are really a lot of guests, some of them are still a little familiar, I can't think of it for a while, but it should also be those characters with heads and faces in the city.
When Zhang Le led Mo Xintong into the courtyard, the noise suddenly stopped, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on them at this moment.
