At this moment, Ding Zhanbo walked over with an arrow step, blocking between me and Yu Minghui, he stuffed the car key into my hand and said, "Sisi, you take the child to the car and wait for me first." ”

I opened my mouth and was about to speak, when Little Gray Ash immediately spoke, "Mommy, Daddy Ding protects us." Uncle Monster is a villain, he's fierce, and I'm afraid he'll take me away. ”

I really didn't want Little Gray to have any further contact with Yu Minghui, so I was no longer stubborn and left in a hurry with Little Gray in my arms.

I don't know how long Ding Zhanbo had to delay, so I didn't take Xiao Ash to the basement immediately, but led him to wait at the entrance of the mall.

Not long after, Ding Zhanbo returned.

His face was relaxed, he couldn't see any clues at all, he leaned down and picked up the little gray gray and put it on his shoulder, he said, "Little gray gray, Dad Ding took you and your mother for a ride, how about it?"

Little Ash was very happy, shouting and sprinkling a string of laughter.

I couldn't bear to open my mouth at this moment to ask Ding Zhanbo what he and Yu Minghui said, so as not to disturb such a joyful atmosphere.

On the next road, Ding Zhanbo said that he wanted to play with Little Gray Ash, so I drove instead, and he sat in the back with Little Gray Gray.

While waiting for the traffic light, I saw Ding Zhanbo feeding water to Little Gray from the mirror in front of me, and Little Gray was holding Ding Zhanbo's arm, his mouth pouted, and his face on both sides bulged into a small bun, he seemed to be a little confused, he said: "Daddy Ding, that monster uncle just now, did you drive him away?"

Ding Zhanbo closed the thermos cup, he reached out and touched the head of the little gray ash, and he hummed gently.

Little Gray let go of Ding Zhanbo's arm, his eyes were slippery, and his face was thoughtful.

I saw that my heart was full of indescribable sourness, and I hurriedly withdrew my gaze, not daring to look at the little gray face again.

When Little Gray was just babbling, I just started teaching him to call Ding Zhanbo, which is to call Uncle Ding. But then he went to kindergarten, and one day he came back sullen, took my arm and asked me why the other children in the class had fathers, why Ash didn't, and whether it was because he was not well-behaved.

The child was so precocious that I was caught off guard.

And Ding Zhanbo, who was present at the time, was in a hurry, saying that in fact, Uncle Ding went to fight monsters and completed the task, he could be upgraded to Father Ding, and when Uncle Ding was upgraded, Little Gray could be exactly the same as the children in the class.

Now think about the scene at that time, and then think about the confusion of Little Gray Ash at this moment, I also began to be confused, and when he slowly grew up, when he slowly understood, would he hate me, hate me for forcibly depriving him of the father's love that should have been in his life, and hate me for forcibly depriving him of a different kind of fulfillment that should have been in his life?

With a stomach full of thoughts, I drove the car to Fenggang.

Afraid of being adversely affected by the little gray ash, I didn't hear the car directly at the door of the nightclub, but parked at the restaurant next door, and Ding Zhanbo took the little gray gray to eat first, and I went to get the money.

The moment I saw Hu Datao, I was still a little shocked.

Although Hu Datao is a person, I used to think that he looked average, but he was in good shape at that time, thin, long legs, and generally speaking, he was a man with a return rate, but I didn't expect that he had grown into a big fat man after four years, his face was round, like a leather ball, and his double chin came out.

I have to sigh at the vicissitudes and cruelty of time.

Sure enough, nothing can beat time.

Although we are not friends, Hu Datao is still quite happy to see me, he pushed the cup of hot tea to my side, and said, "Lin Sisi, you are welcome, drink tea and drink tea." This tea was sent by Brother Yang's friend, and it tasted good. “

After a pause, Hu Datao opened his mouth again to praise me: "Lin Sisi, you are much more beautiful than before, and your clothes are much more fashionable and tasteful, hehe." ”

When I saw him praise me like this, I felt that this was a good courtesy, so I also said politely: "Brother Tao, you are laughing, I, I am old." It's you, who are getting more and more manly. ”

As soon as I said this, I was embarrassed. It's very perfunctory when you hear it!

Fortunately, Hu Datao has a big heart, he laughed, and he said: "Lin Sisi, you just tease me, I'm a big fat man now, where is there any masculinity." ”

After a pause, Hu Datao said again: "By the way, Lin Sisi, you shouldn't have any contact with Brother Chen, right? He has been going to Shenzhen for several years, I went out with Yang Xiong to have a meal with him a few days ago, and he also mentioned you, hehe." ”

Brother Chen?

My brain was completely insufficient, and after a long time of question marks, it suddenly dawned on me, and I asked, "You mean Chen Daowei?"

Hu Datao nodded and said, "Yes." It's Chen Daowei. When we were eating, he drank too much and kept mentioning you, saying that he wanted a tea egg for his birthday before, and you bought him five at once. What else did you say that you still have a coat in your hand and haven't returned it to him, he said that you have no heart. Of course, Lin Sisi, you also mind, we men, of course we get together to talk about women, in fact, there is no malice. ”

What Hu Datao said surprised me, I was a little stunned, but I quickly restrained my emotions, I shook my head gently, smiled lightly and said, "I understand." ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Hu Datao patted his head and said, "Lin Sisi, I'll give you Brother Chen's contact information! Everyone is in Shenzhen, you can have more contacts later, and there are many acquaintances and many roads." Wait, I'm looking for his business card. ”

For such enthusiasm, I was about to wave my hand to let Hu Datao not bother, but Hu Datao had already taken out his wallet and flipped through it, and he quickly handed me a light gray card, and he said, "Oh, this is Brother Chen's business card, you can contact him." He's thinking about you!"

Seeing Hu Datao handing it to me, I had to take it politely, and in order to show my attention, I also put it directly in my bag.

I didn't want the little gray to stay outside too late, I thought that the money had been obtained, and the politeness was finished, I raised my wrist and looked at the time, and I said, "Brother Tao, or I won't delay your time, I'll withdraw first?"

Hu Datao immediately stood up with a loud voice, he picked up the briefcase on the side, and said, "Don't delay, don't delay, let's go, brother, I'll invite you to dinner." We've known each other for a few years, so let's continue to talk during dinner. ”

I waved my hand busily, and I said, "No, Brother Tao, you're busy with you." And I came by a friend's hitchhiker, and he was waiting outside. ”

Oh, Hu Datao didn't mind saying at all: "That's okay, then next time." ”

I said a polite word or two to Hu Datao, and I waved goodbye.

Coming out of the nightclub, I walked briskly towards the restaurant next door.

When I arrived, Little Ash had already eaten, and he was lying there obediently scribbling the homework assigned by the teacher with colored pens.

And I was physically and mentally exhausted to the extreme, and in the face of the big bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge that Ding Zhanbo thoughtfully ordered for me, I ate a few bites and put it aside.

After returning to Shenzhen, it was already eleven o'clock after I finally took a shower and cleaned up the little gray ash and put him to sleep.

Ding Zhanbo hadn't left yet, he was sitting on the sofa in the hall, holding the remote control and constantly switching channels, he was afraid that it would make a little gray gray, so he turned up the volume to the level that he needed to be in front of the TV series to hear.

I pulled a bench and sat on the opposite side, and I said, "Ding Zhanbo, I want to ask, what did Yu Minghui tell you in the afternoon?

Ding Zhanbo turned off the TV.

He stared at me for nearly a minute before he said slowly, "No." ”

I didn't avoid his gaze at all, but looked straight at him, and I continued, "And what did he say?"

Ding Zhanbo withdrew his gaze, and he said lightly: "Nonsense, he said a bunch of nonsense, it's not worth mentioning." Okay, you go to bed early, I'll go back. ”

After speaking, Ding Zhanbo stood up, he walked quickly to the door and unscrewed the door handle, and when he stepped out of the door with one foot, he said again: "Lin Sisi, I just want to say, if you have a little soft-hearted and wavering towards a bastard like Yu Minghui, you are sorry for the tears you have suffered in the past few years, my words are here, you are so self-conscious." ”

Even though Ding Zhanbo gently brought me the door before leaving, the sound insulation here has always been bad, and the sound he made when he went down the stairs penetrated into my eardrums one after another, and I felt for the first time why Ding Zhanbo walked so unsteadily?

Just like my stormy heart at the moment, the unprovoked has become turbulent.

After taking a shower and washing and drying my clothes, I tiptoed open the bedroom door and walked in, leaning on the faint light from the night light, sitting aside to watch the little gray gray face in his sleep, he pouted, his face bulged, so that my heart became extremely soft again, I carefully leaned on him, and slept in a dreamless silence.

The next day, after sending the little gray ash to the kindergarten, I hurriedly got on 309 and got off at Jinguanghua Plaza.

There is a distance of 400 meters from Jin Guanghua to the International Trade Center Building, and the summer in Shenzhen makes people feel its scorching heat from the morning.

When I was squeezing the elevator, I found that the young men and women who were nesting in that small space with me, wearing either Armani, Versace, or Chanel, the one on my hand was either LV or Gucci, and the watch I wore on my hand was either Omega or Rolex, and then I looked at the pair of Maoye Department Store on my feet for seasonal clearance, and I gritted my teeth to start with thousands of single shoes, and my heart couldn't help but rush thousands of slots.

I can't afford luxuries, but even if I could afford them I wouldn't spend so much money on them, I had no desire for those things, and I couldn't help but run inside of me, because I felt like I was in a place where I couldn't fit in at all.

Or I have received the visual impact in the elevator, I am a little mentally prepared, the moment the elevator goes up to the 29th floor, the moment the door opens, even if I see the luxury of the capitalist who wants me to point at Yu Minghui's nose and scold all evil, I am calm.

I stepped on the bright marble floor, and slowly walked towards the front desk that looked so tall that my aura was slowly weakened, and I said to the front desk lady with a professional smile on her face, but she was actually extremely indifferent: "Hello, I'm Lin Sisi of Zhilianda, I'll look for Mr. Yu." ”

Still smiling professionally, the front desk lady said distantly and emotionlessly, "Is there an appointment?"

I opened my mouth to speak, when behind me came the regular sound of high heels tapping against the marble.

Soon, a woman stretched out a light green paper bag to the front desk lady with her white hand, and she said, "Linda, help me warm this up and send it to Mr. Yu's office." ”

Her voice rang in my ears, and even though her Mandarin had faded away all the salt-flavored accents of Zhanjiang, I could still hear it easily.

This woman is Zhao Xiaoning, who reached out to me when I was most wandering.

It was also Zhao Xiaoning who disappeared into my world not long after I dropped the bombshell that Yu Minghui and Cao Jiaying were going to get married, silently, without a word of goodbye.

No matter how grateful I was to her for warming my world and driving away my loneliness, at this moment, my intuition told me that she and I could no longer face each other as friends, and it was impossible to return to Zhanjiang that year.

Those past feelings, like those old times of the past, are like a notched orange, which will rot in the volatilization of time, become mutilated, become non-existent, and become worthless.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as I imagined, after explaining to the front desk to do things, Zhao Xiaoning turned sideways, and she immediately saw me.

I can guarantee that I have not had plastic surgery in the past few years, and I have not even tattooed my eyebrows, except that I am a little thinner than before, and my whole person looks no different from my 2008 self.

However, Zhao Xiaoning, who was wearing the latest Chanel, carrying a Gucci bag, wearing delicate makeup, her hair was coiled, and she was full of fresh and elegant fragrance that people knew was a particularly expensive perfume at a glance, and she was as beautiful and fashionable as a model on the Paris stage, but she didn't seem to recognize me.

Her face was so high that I didn't know if I could get all my face into her pupils, but she was as cold as a crane, and finally she raised her head high and swayed towards the elevator with her high heels.

She crossed the faint smell of perfume left by me, and kept drilling into my nose, and these scents suddenly seemed to turn into poisonous insects, constantly invading and biting my heart, and I stood there, as if the world was as illusory as a wandering dream.

At this moment, the phone at the front desk suddenly beeped.

The front desk lady picked it up, and she quickly said in a very vivid tone: "Okay, Mr. Yu." ”

After hanging up the phone, the front desk lady jumped out of those freshnesses again, with a hypocritical professional smile that was difficult to be pleasant, she handed me a card and said, "Miss Lin, right, Mr. Yu asked you to come to his office." 32nd floor. The elevator in front can go up. When you run out of key cards, remember to give them back to me. ”
