Chapter 5: Ordinary People

Truth be told, two million isn't a big number.

Especially for the vast majority of the male guests in this wedding banquet, most of them can afford to spend two million.

But no one will take two million as a gift, this is an undeniable fact.

Therefore, when people watched the two hundred bundles of banknotes fall crookedly on the ceremonial table and on the tender green grass, it is still difficult to hide the shock.

Take two million as a gift?

For people of this class, this is absolutely unreasonable, because most of them have an annual salary of more than one million, and few have an annual salary of more than 10 million, and the biggest gift is 108,000 yuan.

But for people who know Zhang Xiaojian, it's not a question of whether he is sick or not, it's impossible, he has so much money?

Mother Zhao looked at the money in front of her and felt that she had been slapped hard.

Su Yu's eyes, which were still in an angry mood before, were already blank, and she remembered Zhang Xiaojian's previous words.

"He who has light in his heart sees light everywhere, and he who has a dark heart thinks everything is a conspiracy. ”

"Don't worry, I'll just salute, and I'll leave after the salute. ”

He really just went with the salute, and he really left after the salute.

If it weren't for his self-righteousness and doing something that angered Bai Yang, Zhang Xiaojian would have quietly left.

Su Yu suddenly had a strong desire to learn, and she wanted to know why?

So, she chased it out.

At this moment, a journalist with black-rimmed glasses came to a camera.

The camera is facing the red carpet at the door, and if nothing else, the camera will cover the table.

He said to the photographer: "A thousand." ”

The photographer sitting on the shelf understood and made an 'OK' gesture.

The next wedding banquet was a little inexplicably awkward.

Although the two million cash was quickly sorted out and rushed before the couple toasted, what happened is what happened.

Because there are those so-called classmates and friends. The vast majority of people at the scene knew that the young man who had just accompanied the two million was the bride's ex-boyfriend.

This is not bad for Zhang Xiaojian, if it weren't for Su Yu's stubborn fighting, he would have quietly ended all this, at least it wouldn't attract the attention of so many people.

But things have already happened, and naturally they can't be changed.

"That young man is so arrogant. ”

"This is true love, whispering, if it were me, I would definitely marry a young man, after all, Lao Gu is too old. ”

"It's just that, looking at the degree of magnanimity, not the rich second generation is also young and promising. ”

"It doesn't seem like it, I know Linlin's bridesmaid, the bridesmaid knows her ex-boyfriend, I heard that she just works as a clerk in an ordinary company. ”

"Then where did he get so much money and give it all to him?"

"I'm afraid it's a deficit in the public account, and I heard a while ago that there was an accountant who stole the account and rewarded the female anchor. ”

"Yes, yes, this forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. ”

This whispering, buzzing like a fly, swirled around the venue.

It's not just the guests who are talking about it, but even the hotel staff.

When Gu Yande and the bride came to the banquet to toast, the groom, who has been in a high position all year round, finally noticed that something was wrong.

He asked in a low voice as he piled up his smiling face full of folds, "Linlin, do you know what's going on?"

Zhao Linlin, who was dressed in red, held up a goblet and did not answer.

Of course she knew what was going on, for there was the table diagonally across from the window of her dressing room, and she knew everything that had happened not long ago.

It stands to reason that she should hate Zhang Xiaojian very much now, because this may affect her marriage.

But why can't you hate it?

————

A qualified ex should be like dead, you buried me, I buried you, never contact.

Perhaps only in this way will the one in the depths of the memory of her or him have a good side when they think of it occasionally.

Zhang Xiaojian is obviously not a qualified predecessor.

Although she deleted WeChat and blocked the phone, in the end, Zhang Xiaojian not only went to her wedding, but also gave a special gift of 2 million.

Things have developed to this point, and there are many surprises.

But I have to admit that when Zhang Xiaojian sat on the back seat of the poplar's three donkeys and galloped through the street, and was blown by the breeze, he felt really cool.

Poplar is also very cool, because the most important link is also the most stylish and handsome scene, which he did - pouring money.

Objectively, it is true that this matter will affect Linlin's marriage, but subjectively it is still difficult to suppress the fact of 'cool'.

Having said that, Zhang Xiaojian and Linlin separated without warning, almost overnight, hiding in the rental house like a wounded dog.

Who really cares about Zhao Linlin, her mother, and today's so-called classmates and friends?

It's just a report and a report.

The three donkeys galloped all the way, and this time they didn't know how many red lights they had run.

In the end, they stopped in front of a warehouse near the river, bought two mentions of beer, took two bags of drunkard peanuts, Zhang Xiaojian and Bai Yang sat on the stone steps by the river, looked at the undulating river, and opened the wine lid.

————

The sky is getting dark, and the river is gradually blurred in sight, as if it wants to merge with the night.

Su Yu walked on the riverside road, and her delicate makeup and slender figure attracted the attention of many people.

She didn't care about this, she just didn't catch up with Zhang Xiaojian and Bai Yang, and she didn't know why she got here.

So she noticed that this place was familiar.

Well, that's right.

The weeping willow that is a little crooked, still a little crooked.

The rocky ground not far away is still a little dark, and the rain in recent years has only diluted a little.

This is where she and Linlin, as well as Zhang Xiaojian and Poplar used to barbecue a few years ago, there is shade under the weeping willows, which can shade the sun, and the Yangtze River is in front, the scenery is good, it is an excellent barbecue location.

Many images began to retrace in her mind.

At that time, Zhang Xiaojian and Linlin were still very sweet, and the two often leaned together and sat in the shade of the tree to blow the wind.

Poplar was the one who worked hard, lit charcoal, grilled skewers, he grabbed it, and his face was blackened on a hot day, and then he was tenacious and blackened the ground.

Huh?

Su Yu walked under the shade of the tree and saw two familiar backs on the steps below.

She didn't move, she didn't speak, perhaps because it brought back a lot of memories for her, and she didn't want to spoil the current picture.

Zhang Xiaojian and Bai Yang below didn't know that on the steps behind them, Su Yu was silently watching them, and could even hear every word they said.

Zhang Xiaojian drank a whole can of cold beer, feeling that his whole person was a lot more transparent.

He said: "Lao Bai, I used to watch idol dramas and often had a question. ”

"What's the doubt?"

"It's just marriage robbery, how many people do you say they didn't get a license before they got married? They always rob other people's weddings, and if they rob them, they are still other people's daughters-in-law, at least legally. ”

Bai Yang laughed when he heard this: "It makes sense, in the end I have to go back to talk about divorce, what do you say they are running around the street in wedding dresses?"

Zhang Xiaojian lit a cigarette and said, "As soon as I say that I run all over the street, I think of you." Don't do the courier. ”

"What's the matter, you're raising me?" Poplar looked back and scolded with a smile.

Zhang Xiaojian said: "I don't have a father or a mother, I was raised by my second aunt since I was a child, and the closest relationship is except for the little sister who ran to the magic capital, which is you." ”

"And then?"

"And now I'm rich, do you want to lose, or do you want to lose?"

Poplar, who drank a sip of wine, almost didn't squirt out: "Why has your sexual orientation changed, I'm like your little daughter-in-law." ”

", look at whose daughter-in-law is as black and strong as you. ”

Poplar interrupted and deliberately looked at his crotch: "I love to hear this, it's the truth." ”

"No trouble. Zhang Xiaojian gave him a punch.

Bai Yang's body tilted, and he took another sip of wine: "You have money is your money, I'm not welcome if you help me, but it's not okay to raise me, what should I do, don't worry about it." ”

When Zhang Xiaojian heard this, he was also like this, so he didn't persuade him, grabbed a handful of peanuts, and chewed them loudly.

Poplar leaned back and stretched his waist: "Now this day is the most comfortable, and in July, the riverside is full of mosquitoes." ”

"yes, I remember ...... before. ”

"Don't mention the past, people look ahead, I have a question for you. ”

"Don't ask me how I got rich, the rest will do. ”

Poplar was suffocated, and after a long silence, he decided not to get to the bottom of it, picked up the beer and Zhang Xiaojian and dried the can.

With a cold beer and a cool evening breeze, Bai Yang looked at the river in the distance and suddenly said, "Little sword, I actually admire you in my heart." ”

Zhang Xiaojian was stunned: "What do you admire me?"

Bai Yang smiled: "I know that you have not had a good time in the past few months, if it were me, I would have to be crazy with you Zhao Linlin, not only have you not said a bad word about her in March, but you also don't let me say it, I feel very uncomfortable." ”

Zhang Xiaojian smiled: "You don't have a girlfriend for four years, you don't understand it at all." ”

As he spoke, he lit a cigarette and said: "From college to work, the best four years of youth of other girls have been given to me, no matter what the reason, can a man still be crazy behind his ex-girlfriend? ”

Bai Yang still didn't understand, he said: "I thought about it for a while, if I change it to you, I'm afraid that not only will I be BB, but I will also wish that she would have a bad life in the future and regret it." ”

Zhang Xiaojian took a deep breath of his cigarette: "When you called me, this was the idea when I decided to go. ”

"Later it changed?"

"yes. ”

Zhang Xiaojian took another sip of wine: "When I sat at her wedding banquet, I found that the only remaining unwillingness in my heart was gone, and then I wanted to finish the money and leave quickly." ”

Poplar was puzzled: "Why follow two million?"

Zhang Xiaojian drank the empty beer can, stepped on it, and spoke slowly.

"Four years ago, when she didn't have those things at home, we just talked nonsense. ”

She said that it is best to bring the river view to get married and buy a house, she likes to see the river, and at that time we didn't think about whether we could afford it, I said to buy, and I had to buy floor-to-ceiling windows. ”

"Later, I worked, and my relatives and friends around me didn't have a car? We talked about cars, thinking that we could save money to buy them in the future, and I read them on the Internet with great interest, and I saw a lot, but I knew that her favorite was the BMW white MINI, and I said that one day I would buy it for her, but at this time I was actually empty-hearted. ”

"Later, I found out that I couldn't afford it. ”

"In the end, it was divided. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaojian picked up another can of wine and took two sips.

"After you called me today and asked, I did the math, and now the new building with a riverview by the river is about 1.6 million, and the BMW MINI has more than 300,000 yuan, which is exactly about 2 million. ”

"So you take two million. Poplar did not use a question, but a definite form.

"Well, it's just two million, not more, not less. ”

——————

Su Yu under the shade of the willow tree listened quietly, her eyes a little red.

She didn't remember when she began to gradually become estranged from Zhang Xiaojian and Baiyang.

But she still remembers many summers when they sat around the red charcoal stove, talking, laughing, and singing.

All these years have passed, but in fact, it is not Zhang Xiaojian and Poplar who have changed.

It's her and Zhao Linlin.

——————

"Lao Bai, do you know why you can't have more and can't do less?"

Poplar shook his head: "Isn't it good, what else does it mean?"

Zhang Xiaojian put down the beer can, supported his leaning back body with both hands, raised his head, looked at the crescent moon that had just appeared tonight, and said slowly.

"I think I must do what I promised her, and two million dollars for a house and a car are almost enough. ”

"It's indispensable. ”

"But because she will disappear from my life in the future, I can't be responsible for the rest of her life, and even if she wants me to be responsible in the future, I won't be responsible. ”

"So it can't be more. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaojian smiled again: "Actually, these are just words to convince myself, I just selfishly give myself an explanation, and use these little money that I don't care about at all to completely put an end to it." ”

"I'm an ordinary person after all. ”

After being silent for a long time, Bai Yang patted Zhang Xiaojian's shoulder: "I also understand another layer of meaning." ”

Zhang Xiaojian raised his eyebrows: "What did you understand?"

Poplar smiled and didn't say anything.

They didn't know that Su Yu, who was standing behind them, left silently after hearing this.

After walking far, far away, she picked up the phone and dialed Zhao Linlin.

The phone was connected, and the two of them surprisingly did not speak.

I don't know how long it took, Su Yu was the first to break the silence and said extremely toughly: "No matter what happens to you in the future, you are not allowed to step into Zhang Xiaojian's life again." ”
