588. Too late is the greatest harm

Within five minutes of Zhou Fangyuan's arrival, other students who had not yet arrived also arrived, and after seeing Zhou Fangyuan, everyone's expressions were the same, all of them were surprised and surprised.

Therefore, the classmates at this time are not as simple as they used to be, these people here, when they were still in junior high school, there were not a few contradictions, and there were one or two who had fought a few times, anyway, although they did not have a deep hatred, but they were unhappy when they saw each other.

But now, after confirming that Zhou Fangyuan is that Zhou Fangyuan, these people immediately changed their faces to smiles, so kind, they may face their parents at this level.

To be honest, Zhou Fangyuan had thought of this a long time ago, but on the one hand, it was to complete the thing he promised Zhou Jialu, saying that he was going to come with her, so he would definitely come. On the other hand, he still naively thought that his classmates could still maintain their original appearance, although it was the fifth year of graduating from junior high school this year, most of the students should still be on the way to study at this time, and they should not become so social.

But the result disappointed him, the maturity speed of these classmates of his was far beyond imagination, and it was impossible for the classmates to see simple and sincere emotions, and now there are scenes of people talking about scenes.

However, the atmosphere on the wine table was very good, and Zhou Fangyuan seemed to have become the core of the banquet.

Of course, he won't drink with others, there are many people who toast him, he basically takes a shallow sip, while Zhou Jialu doesn't drink at all. According to her own words, Zhou Fangyuan was drinking, and she couldn't drive for a while, and she had to drive, so she couldn't drink.

This made Zhao Jianlin, who had persuaded several times in a row, a little lost, and Zhou Fangyuan stood in the crowd, looking at Zhao Jianlin's lost appearance. Although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes were unusually cold.

This guy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, obviously he is still present here, he can't let go of the evil thoughts in his heart, it seems that he has to teach this guy some lessons, no matter whether Zhou Jialu has a further relationship with himself, a guy like Zhao Jianlin who destroys women's lives at will, it doesn't matter if he doesn't mess with himself, now that this thing has obviously set his sights on Zhou Jialu's head, then he can't bear it.

As for Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai is undoubtedly much more powerful than Zhao Jianlin, and his background is deeper, or in other words, Zhao Jianlin is covered by Zhao Kai, so before he completely tears his face with Zhao Kai, let's let him go for the time being. But Zhao Jianlin must clean up, and he also wants to take the opportunity to let others know that he Zhou Fangyuan is not easy to bully. You're not bad, I'm not bad, you'd better take care of your dogs, otherwise it won't be a lesson next time.

Zhou Fangyuan's smile was even brighter, and the speed of drinking was slightly improved, after all, if he didn't drink again, he was now in three or four pounds, and the whole person was a little excited.

Fortunately, while Zhou Fangyuan has been paying attention to Zhou Jialu, Zhou Jialu is also paying attention to him.

As soon as he saw that Zhou Fangyuan's drinking speed began to speed up, and his eyes were no longer as clear as before, he immediately walked over and pulled Zhou Fangyuan out.

"Don't drink it, you've already drunk a little too much. ”

Zhou Jialu whispered to Zhou Fangyuan.

"Well, thank you, I almost couldn't hold it back. ”

Zhou Fangyuan immediately sobered up a lot and said softly.

"Thank me for what I do, don't say thank you to me. ”

Zhou Jialu glanced at him, how cute and cute he was, Zhou Fangyuan's eyes were a little straight.

In the time that followed, although everyone was still drinking, they didn't persuade Zhou Fangyuan, and Zhou Fangyuan stopped drinking, at most he replaced wine with tea.

During the banquet, everyone talked nonsense, which is traditional, but this time there is one more topic, that is, Zhou Fangyuan.

What everyone is most concerned about is how much money Zhou Fangyuan can make in a year.

After all, not everyone has to ask for Zhou Fangyuan, or in other words, whether they ask for it or not, everyone is willing to maintain a good relationship with Zhou Fangyuan. Although most people are much more mature than before, there are also people who are not mature enough. Of course, they don't have any bad intentions, at most, they just say whatever they think, and they don't understand the slightest clumsiness and cover-up. 、

Someone asked, and Zhou Fangyuan naturally answered.

He didn't ask anything, but he just said something about it.

The entire Yuanfang Group, if you count the final revenue, is actually a loss. Although many companies have made money, there are also many companies that are still putting money into it, not to mention that the company invested everywhere last year, spent a lot of money, and there are a lot of loans from the bank, although it is not a bad debt, these expenses make the Yuanfang Group stronger, but in terms of accounts, the Yuanfang Group actually spent more than it received last year. The income of the entire group last year was almost several hundred million, but the money spent was hundreds of millions of yuan. However, Zhou Fangyuan is not suitable to tell these classmates.

It's not that I can't say it, but I don't want to say it, because if I talk too much, I will inevitably have to explain something to everyone, and there must be someone who will have a question in mind, and will answer it when the time comes?

Zhou Fangyuan didn't want a classmate meeting to become his own personal show, so he stopped clicking on it, and he didn't say anything no matter how others asked.

Some people are disappointed, others are satisfied...... In short, the reunion ended like this.

People who drink too much, find a way to go home by themselves, and someone also proposed to sing, Zhou Fangyuan originally wanted to follow and take a look, but before he could speak, Zhou Jialu refused for him.

Then forget it...... Today I came with Zhou Jialu, and she has the final say.

Zhou Fang was far away, and everyone was a little disappointed. Then, there were three or four classmates who seemed to be not enjoying themselves and were discussing where to drink again, and Zhou Fangyuan followed Zhou Jialu to say hello to the others and left with Zhou Jialu.

Seeing the dazzling Mercedes-Benz convertible sports car leave, the students present all had a sense of loss. Being able to see Zhou Fangyuan is a very pleasant surprise for them, but it's a pity that they want to be closer to Zhou Fangyuan but can't, Zhou Fangyuan has a very gentle smile at everyone, but the sense of alienation in it can be felt by fools. Maybe this is the reason why you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, the more you ask for the other party, the more difficult it is to get the other party's approval, the so-called friends, but you can't drink a few good words and say a few good words.

Not to mention those classmates, let alone Zhou Fangyuan, when he got into the car, he sat in the co-pilot, fastened his seat belt, and watched Zhou Jialu drive.

The little girl is driving, and the action has a different kind of beauty, just flipping the wrist and changing gears, which looks very beautiful.

The little white jade-like hand moved here for a while, and played with it for a while, which made people feel very pleasing to the eye when they looked at it, and I don't know if I drank a little more wine today, Zhou Fangyuan looked at Zhou Jialu's silhouette and couldn't help but be a little dazed.

"Why do you think of me like that?"

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Jialu suddenly turned her head to look at Zhou Fangyuan, and asked with a smile.

Zhou Fangyuan woke up suddenly, his face was a little red.

"Nothing ......"

He quickly withdrew his gaze and looked outside.

"Huh, where are we going?"

Only then did he notice that the car was not heading in the direction of the old cadre's compound, but in another direction.

"When I came out this afternoon, I said hello to my aunt and uncle and said that I would not go back tonight. ”

“......”

Zhou Fangyuan didn't know what to say all of a sudden, a girl, especially a girl who had a good relationship with him, the other party had more than once said that he liked him and said that he was willing to wait for him. Now he said in front of himself that he wouldn't go back at night, what did this mean? Zhou Fangyuan couldn't be clearer.

But it was precisely because he knew that he didn't know what to say.

is still the same sentence, he doesn't want to provoke Zhou Jialu, he doesn't want to continue to cause trouble for himself, and he doesn't want to hurt the other party. But looking at the current situation, it is clear that this is not something that you can control. Of course, he can also ask Zhou Jialu to stop now, call someone to come and drive, and then send Zhou Jialu back.

Oh, by the way, he didn't even have to call someone, the two car security guards he called before followed the back of the car, and as long as he beckoned, they would come over to help.

But can you do that?

"If you don't go home, where are you going to ......"

Zhou Fangyuan asked a question.

"Wherever you go, I'll go. ”

Zhou Jialu still has the same smiling face, and her voice is more gentle.

Zhou Fangyuan lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, took out his mobile phone and made a call, "It's okay, you guys go back first, by the way, tonight is considered overtime, go back to get money, overtime pay of 200 yuan per person, and take the brothers to eat something by the way." ”

"Yes, boss. ”

Two vans left at the next intersection.

There was silence in the car.

Only the sound of the engine could be heard, and the breathing of the two men.

After a while, the car had been aimlessly turning around the street several times, and Zhou Fangyuan suddenly withdrew his gaze from looking outside and turned his head to look at Zhou Jialu.

"Let's stop for a moment. ”

Crunch –

The car is parked on the side of the road.

Zhou Jialu looked at Zhou Fangyuan, her eyes were still bright.

Zhou Fangyuan was full of wry smiles, he stretched out his hand and touched Zhou Jialu's face, which was soft and smooth, like jelly, and Zhou Jialu's face seemed to have some baby fat, which made her beautiful at the same time, adding a touch of cuteness and playfulness.

"Lulu, allow me to call you that, I know what you mean, and I know your feelings, but ......"

"No but oh, I like you, it's that simple. ”

Zhou Jialu said softly.

"Yes, I know, but I'm not a good man, like most men, I have money, power, and I'm no longer the person I used to be. I don't want to tell you too many bad things, but you have to understand that I am already very messy around me now, and it is the kind of situation that ordinary women simply cannot accept, but ...... I'll tell you the truth, I can't make a decision right now, I can't hurt people who already have, and I don't want to hurt people who haven't had time to hurt yet. I know you like me, in fact, I like you too, really, I've been quietly following you since I was in school, but why haven't I contacted you for so long? Because I don't want to hurt you, and since I haven't had time to hurt you, it's better to never hurt ......."

"But I don't want to be the one who is too late. ”

The smile on Zhou Jialu's face narrowed slightly, and she looked at Zhou Fangyuan very seriously, "Even if I am hurt, it is my own choice, if I don't even have the chance to be hurt, how do you know that it is not a greater harm?"

“......”

What a philosophy!

To be honest, this kind of dialogue Zhou Fangyuan can't go on at all, he really doesn't know much about philosophy, and he can only do his best to say some more "esoteric" words, on the one hand, it seems that he is forced to be high, and on the other hand, he can be regarded as trying his best to "resist", but Zhou Jialu's number of paragraphs in this regard is obviously higher than his, and as a result, Zhou Jialu's words blocked Zhou Fangyuan so much that he didn't know what to say.

Zhou Jialu chuckled, touched Zhou Fangyuan's hand, and then took his hand away and re-ignited the car.

"Since you can't make up your mind, let me make up your mind for you. ”

She said, and the car moved on.

This sentence, according to Zhou Fangyuan's understanding, probably has two meanings.

is more obvious, that is, Zhou Fangyuan can't choose where to go, so let her choose where to go.

At a deeper level, since Zhou Fangyuan can't completely determine his heart, it's very simple, don't be sure, he just needs to remain passive, Zhou Jialu has to take the initiative to move forward, replace him, push him, make the final choice, and take the last step.

Zhou Fangyuan, in fact, has already guessed this possibility since he promised Zhou Jialu to attend the class reunion at noon today.

His mentality is very complicated, it is looking forward to and tangled together, looking forward to a wonderful night, but he is entangled in whether he should take the last step, the previous persistence, unwilling to hurt her, and not wanting to let himself fall into greater trouble, but now it seems that he is still not firm enough, if he is a man who is firm enough, he should make a decision immediately, either because he has a lot of debts, or he is cut in two. As a result, in the end, Zhou Jialu had to make a choice for him, and his identity as a "scumbag" was afraid to be more solid.

In the flickering light and shadow, the corners of Zhou Fangyuan's mouth curled slightly, he changed his posture slightly, leaned back in the chair, and made an almost murmuring sound in his mouth.

"I hope you don't regret it, and I hope I won't regret it......"

"Of course. ”

Zhou Jialu's voice was equally soft.

......

On the other side, after Zhao Kai sent Zhao Jianlin away, he returned to his villa.

As soon as he entered the door, he threw his clothes into the hands of the Filipino maid, and then sat down on the sofa with a tired face.

"It's just a class reunion, is that so?"

A middle-aged man emerges from the cubicle with a cigar in his mouth and a silk pajamas.

"Dad. ”

Zhao Kai shouted.

"Well, why are you so tired? Also, you came back a little early today, what's wrong? It can't be that the kidneys are not good, right?"

The middle-aged man quipped.

"Dad, I didn't do anything today, I came back directly. ”

Zhao Kai said with his eyes closed.

"Huh?"

The middle-aged man showed a surprised expression, "You actually didn't do anything? Impossible, didn't you fall in love with Lao Feng's niece a long time ago? I used to be afraid of his power, but now that he has retreated, will you stop so easily?"

"I met Zhou Fangyuan today. ”

Zhao Kai suddenly sat up straight and said with a serious face.
