Mrs. Xu shook her hand and said softly, "Don't worry." Ruan Zhi didn't have a chance three years ago, and Ruan Zhi three years later would be even more unlikely to step into the door of the Xu family. Besides, she still has an oil bottle with her?"

Bai Wei also held Mrs. Xu's hand tightly, and her voice was eager, "Auntie, in fact, even if the child is pregnant, I won't mind." All I care about is my deep feelings. I love him, so I can accept everything about him, even his children. ”

Hearing her say this, Mrs. Xu was very pleased, "Weiwei, you are a good boy, don't worry, I will talk about it over there." ”

"Thank you, auntie. Bai Wei lowered her eyelashes, and a flash of pride flashed in her eyes.

......

On Monday morning, Xu Huaishen came down from upstairs and collided head-on with Ruan Zhi, who was about to go upstairs.

Seeing that he was going down, Ruan Zhi didn't rush up.

In the past few days, she has been working hard to reduce her sense of existence, and she is also deliberately distancing.

It's very productive.

What she and Xu Huaishen have said in the past few days adds up to no more than three sentences.

And every sentence is about Ruan Meng.

Even if you live under the same roof temporarily, you can do not interfere with each other and ignore each other's existence.

That's fine.

Therefore, Ruan Zhi's gaze only stayed on Xu Huaishen's body for a short time.

Then he looked elsewhere.

It's like you don't see him.

Xu Huaishen walked from behind her and approached her step by step.

The slender shoulders were reflected in his eyes, Ruan Zhi was wearing a beige thin shirt today, his long hair was tied low behind his head, the curvature of his side face was warm and soft, and the whole person was less competitive and more approachable.

Ruan Meng ran over, hugged Xu Huaishen's legs, and asked in a milky voice, "Uncle Xu, can we go?"

"Yes. Xu Huaishen touched her hair dotingly, and replied very gently.

"Yes, great, great, you can go and see the whales of the sea. Ruan Meng was so happy, she let go of Xu Huaishen, and happily circled in place.

Ruan Zhi was dizzy by her, and was also worried that she would faint, so he reached out and pulled Ruan Meng over, pulled her to her side, and asked, "What did Meng Meng say just now?"

"Uncle Xu is going to take me to see the whales of the sea. ”

It's really a sea whale?!

Ruan Zhi held her daughter's little hand and cast a puzzled look at Xu Huaishen who was standing on the side, "Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"

Xu Huaishen explained calmly, "I also decided to go temporarily." ”

Ruan Zhi bit his lip and said in his heart: Even if you want to go temporarily, don't you tell her?

Ruan Meng shook her hand and asked, "Mom, are you going?"

It stands to reason that Ruan Zhi is going to go with him.

When her daughter grows so big, she has never let go.

But the current situation is that Xu Huaishen wanted to take Ruan Meng with him, and he didn't ask her at all.

Even when they were going, they told her when they were about to leave the house.

Ruan Zhi shook his head, "Mom won't go, you and Uncle Xu will go." ”

She said this deliberately, but in fact, she had a plan in mind.

Xu Huaishen didn't invite her, she couldn't follow with a shy face.

But let him take Ruan Meng alone, she was really not at ease.

I still have to go, but I have to change the way.

With her understanding of her daughter, she said that if she didn't go, Ruan Meng would definitely not go.

It's best not to go when the time comes.

Go, Xu Huaishen must also take her.

As soon as Ruan Meng heard that she wasn't going, she frowned, took her hand and said, "Why didn't Mommy go?"

"Because Mommy has to be busy. Ruan Zhi touched her daughter's little face, "Mommy is going to an interview today." ”

"Has Mommy got a job?"

"Hmm. Ruan Zhi nodded.

Ruan Meng looked disappointed, but he didn't immediately say that he didn't want to go as Ruan Zhi expected.

He lowered his head and struggled for a while before he said, "Then Mommy...... Can I go up with Uncle Xu to watch the whales?"

Ruan Zhi didn't expect it, "......"

She seems to have underestimated the allure of the sea whale to Ruan Meng......

Before she could say anything, Xu Huaishen had already raised his hand and touched Ruan Meng's little head, but the words were said to her, "I'll bring her back early, don't worry too much." ”

Ruan Zhi: "......"

What else did she say?

What else is there to say?

Now in this situation, she just wants to accompany her daughter, but she can't open this mouth.

"Good...... All right. Ruan Zhi has never been a person who can hide her emotions, and the stiffness in her expression at this moment has completely fallen on Xu Huaishen's eyes.

The corners of his mouth quietly rose, and after changing his shoes, he turned around and asked Ruan Zhi: "Where are you going for an interview?"

Ruan Zhi didn't want to ride in his car.

But when she thought of Ruan Meng, she changed her mind again, "Okay, I'll go get the bag." Wait a minute. ”

......

The car drove away from the villa and drove gently on the road.

The speed of the car was not fast, it was steady, and Xu Huaishen didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he had a leisurely expression all the way.

Soon, the car stopped under a high-rise building, Xu Huaishen turned his head slightly sideways and asked Ruan Zhi: "Is this here?"

Ruan Zhi turned his head to take a look.

Three years later, the streets of the city center have not changed much.

Especially for a landmark building like this, it is impossible for it to change so dramatically in a short period of time.

"It's here. Ruan Zhi nodded, recognizing this as the place where she was going to interview.

Before getting out of the car, she braided Ruan Meng and wanted to give a few words.

But after thinking about it, he swallowed the words back, leaving only one sentence, "Have fun." ”

"Hmm. Ruan Meng was very excited and waved at her, "Mommy goodbye." ”

"Goodbye. ”

Ruan Zhi got out of the car, but he was very reluctant in his heart.

For her, staying by Ruan Meng's side for the past few years, she has become accustomed to Ruan Meng's existence.

Now hand her over to Xu Huaishen and take her to play alone, firstly, he is unwilling, and secondly, he is not at ease.

In short, the mood is mixed.

Seeing Xu Huaishen's car drive away, Ruan Zhi pursed his lips before walking into the building behind him with his bag on his back.

In this building, there are dozens of companies.

And the decoration company she is going to interview for today has just opened.

Ruan Zhi pressed the button to the nineteenth floor according to the address left on the Internet.

The elevator quickly reached the nineteenth floor.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw the iconic words of "Childish Love E Home".

The little girl at the front desk was very enthusiastic, and when she heard that she was coming for an interview, something flashed in her eyes.

Before Ruan Zhi could capture what that emotion was, she had already lowered her head to check the information.

He looked at it, looked up and said, "I'll take you there." ”

"Okay. ”

The little girl at the front desk was very warm to her, took her to a spacious and bright office, served her tea, and handed her water.

Although Ruan Zhi thought it was strange, he didn't think much about it.

She has also worked in the workplace for a while in order to make a living, and she has also met such simple and enthusiastic people.

That's a simple enthusiasm in character, and nothing else.

And this little girl is the front desk of the company, that is, the face of the company, and she smiles very kindly, so it is understandable that she is so enthusiastic.

"Can you sit down for a while? Our director is out, and we won't be back until a while. I've already called him and he'll be right back. The little girl at the front desk was half-bent over when she talked to Ruan Zhi.

Obviously, a little too much enthusiasm.

If Ruan Zhi is a customer, it can be justified.

But she's just a prospective employee who has come to apply.

Ruan Zhi looked at the gentle and kind smile of the little girl at the front desk, and couldn't help asking: "Does your company take such good care of people who come to look for jobs?"

"Huh?" the little girl was stunned, and quickly said, "No, no, you are a special case." ”

Exception?

Ruan Zhi was about to ask why he was a special case.

The little girl's mobile phone happened to ring at this time, she glanced at Ruan Zhi, nodded again and again with the phone, and went out.

Ruan Zhi: "......"

Why does it always feel weird?

I waited about five minutes.

Ruan Zhi was idle, and drank the cup of tea in front of him.

She doesn't understand tea, but this tea looks very clear, the color is very pure, and although the tea fragrance is light, the taste is very special.

It should be a very expensive variety.

Ruan Zhi held the teacup and carefully observed the green tea leaves precipitated in the cup, and his doubts were even more serious.

Does this company actually entertain candidates with such a good tea?

The office door suddenly opened from the outside, and Ruan Zhi's thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise.

When she turned around, she saw a young man in a suit walking in.

The man obviously came in a hurry, his face was a little red, his breath was a little unstable, and he straightened his tie with his hand as he entered the sea, "I'm sorry, I'm a little delayed." ”

The tone is also very polite, not at all like talking to the applicant, but like talking to a valued customer.

"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" said the Director, apologetically.

Ruan Zhi subconsciously stood up, "No, I just sat down for a while." ”

The director hurriedly reached out and gestured to sit down.

Ruan Zhi sat down with some unease.

She now felt like she wanted to run away, and for some reason, she always felt like she had fallen into some trap.

Everything here is unusual, Ruan Zhi didn't suspect anything else, but felt that this wouldn't be a scam company or something, right?

But on second thought, if this is really a scam or something like that, then she can't leave.

She's gone, and it's the next person who comes to apply.

Ruan Zhi intends to wait and see.

The Director sat down across from her, a smile on his face the whole time.

"We have read your information, and it is very suitable for our company's needs. Because you didn't mention your specific requirements for the position and salary online, ...... If you can now, you can talk about it. ”

Ruan Zhi: "...... I'm here for an interview today, don't we have to do an interview?"

This process is not normal at all, it doesn't look like she came to apply, but like she is the CEO of the company and came to inspect.

The supervisor was busy: "Our company is mainly decoration, there is nothing particularly difficult, your image and temperament fully meet our requirements." Our interviews are also mainly based on these aspects. ”

"Of course, if you have special requirements for the position and salary, you can also put it forward, and it is negotiable. ”

Ruan Zhi: "............"

The more you listen to it, the more you look like a liar.

How can any company say to the applicant that you have the final say on the position and salary?

Ruan Zhi remained silent, "I don't have any special requirements, just follow the company's routine." ”

"Good, good. The supervisor took out two contracts and handed them over, "This is our labor contract, you can take a look, if there is no problem, you can sign it." ”

Ruan Zhi took it and read it seriously.

She has read a lot of contracts, and she is not too unfamiliar.

But in both contracts, they are normal, and there are no excessive or hidden abnormal terms.

Ruan Zhi was not at ease, so he watched it twice.

Still no problem.

Seeing her look over and over again, the director couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong?"

"Oh. No. Ruan Zhi raised his head, smiled apologetically, and asked tentatively, "Well, can I take the contract back and take a closer look?"

"This ......"

"Don't worry, I will never run, it's the first time I signed this kind of contract, there are a lot of things I don't understand, I want to take it back and take a good look. Ruan Zhi explained.

"Of course you can. The director didn't say a word, and readily agreed.

Ruan Zhi: "............"

Abnormal.

It's not normal everywhere.

Ruan Zhi came out of the building and saw a black car parked on the side of the road.

She was stunned for a moment, and her eyes moved to the license plate number.

It was really Xu Huaishen's car.

Walking over, the window of the car had been lowered, revealing the faces of Xu Huaishen and Ruan Meng.

"Mommy. Ruan Meng had a new bear doll in her hand and called her happily.

Ruan Zhi bent down and smiled softly at her daughter, then moved her gaze to the man in the driver's seat, "Aren't you already gone?"

How did you come back again?

Xu Huaishen leaned over slightly, looked at her and said, "If you drop something, turn it back and get it." ”

Ruan Zhi looked back at the towering building behind him, a little confused.

What could he have landed here?

didn't have time to think about it, Xu Huaishen had already spoken: "Have you finished trying?"

"Hmm. Ruan Zhi nodded.

"Are you okay now?"

"Well, it's fine. ”

She didn't have anything to do, Ruan Meng wasn't at home, and she just went home alone to watch TV or something.

"Get in the car. Xu Huaishen said.

Ruan Zhi's mind hadn't turned around yet, "It's past nine o'clock, don't you still want to go to the aquarium?"

Xu Huaishen looked at Ruan Zhi, a smile flashed in his dark eyes, and he said slowly in a deep voice: "Ruan Zhi, you have become stupid." ”

“......”

"Get in the car. Xu Huaishen said, "If you stay any longer, you really can't buy a ticket." ”

Ruan Zhi was still standing there, his expression was blank, and his mind hadn't reacted at all.

Xu Huaishen sighed, and had to make his words clearer, "Let's go together." ”

Ruan Zhi understood this time, his heart jumped, and he didn't refuse immediately, pulled the car door and sat down.

"Mommy. Ruan Meng hurriedly pounced and hugged her.

Ruan Zhi gently hugged her daughter, a little satisfied.

When I looked up and saw Xu Huaishen, who was driving seriously, a thought popped up in my mind for a moment: Could he have deliberately turned back to pick her up?

After all, he said that something was dropped, which in itself is very unreasonable.

What's more, when she went to the interview, the time she spent coming and going was not half a star.

And his car was clearly turned off and parked in a parking space on the side of the road......

Realizing this, Ruan Zhi had some strange emotions in his heart.

But she still didn't ask Xu Huaishen and didn't confirm the truth of this idea to him.

The oceanarium is huge.

It's bigger than it was three years ago.

It's not a weekend, and the crowds are much less than usual.

Xu Huaishen walked in front with Ruan Meng in his arms, and Ruan Zhi followed behind with a bag on his back.

The steps of the three people were unhurried.

When you enter the underwater passage, you will be greeted by the turquoise water, a variety of fish and seagrass corals swimming in the water.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Ruan Meng was an eye-opener, and from the moment she stepped into the aquarium, she was extremely excited.

At this moment, I saw a huge dark blue sea whale swimming overhead, and the little guy exclaimed excitedly: "Wow! big whale! It's a big whale! Mommy!"

When I turned around, I realized, "Huh, where is Mommy?"

Xu Huaishen walked back with Ruan Meng in his arms, and when he turned the corner, he saw Ruan Zhi standing in front of the glass mirror, looking up slightly at the fish swimming in the water, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Huaishen just stood like this, watching her stand there alone, as if forgotten by the whole world, standing there quietly.

How long she stood there, Xu Huaishen watched her quietly.

Until a tourist accidentally bumped into her, she stumbled all over.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The tourists apologized repeatedly.

"It's okay......" Ruan Zhi subconsciously raised his head and collided with Xu Huaishen's gaze.

Ruan Zhi was stunned for a moment, his expression recovered slightly, and he walked over with his feet raised.

"Mommy. Ruan Meng stretched out her arms to hug her.

Ruan Zhi took her over, held her in his arms, couldn't help but lower his head, and kissed his daughter on the forehead.

Overhead, Xu Huaishen's deep voice sounded, "What were you thinking just now?"

Ruan Zhi raised his head and crashed into the man's deep eyes again.

She hooked her lips and smiled, "Think of me when I was a child." ”

The smile looked a little bitter.

"Been here?" Xu Huaishen's voice was very light and light, mixed with a hint of softness.

Maybe Ruan Zhi was too sensitive and fragile at this moment, or maybe she was too deep in memories, and at this moment she actually regarded Xu Huaishen as an object to talk to.

Without any hesitation, speak your heart.

"Hmm. When I was very young, I had no memory left. My mom was still there at the time, and it was my dad and mom who brought me with me. I didn't know it at first, but I saw such a picture from my grandmother when I was growing up. It was in that position just now, a photo taken by our family of three. Ruan Zhi turned his head and looked at the position he had stood in just now.

It seems that after so many years of memories, you can still imagine what it was like back then.

At that time, the relationship between my parents had not yet broken down.

They are just a very ordinary and ordinary happy family, and everything is still the best......

The only pity is that Ruan Zhi was too young at the beginning.

As small as she was, she didn't remember those good things and happiness at all.

For as long as she can remember, her parents were emotionally discordant and quarreled all day long.

Later, my mother became ill.

She has never felt the warmth of her parents like other children.
