Chapter 21 The Narrow Road (Wonderful Chapters, Seeking Investment, Seeking Collection)
Mingxi took the porcelain plate and smiled faintly, his voice so flat that it almost made people mistake him for an emotionally indifferent person.
"You often say that the least favorite thing in this life is to be burdened by human affection, but how can such a worldly word as 'human affection' be placed between you and me? We are close friends, and the strongest and purest friendship between classmates in the past ten years is still hindered by the so-called worldly feelings? If you say so, I won't be here tomorrow, and you can stay as long as you like. ”
Lin Menghan turned his back and pretended to be angry and wanted to leave.
"Menghan, I didn't mean that, I just ......"
Mingxi didn't care at all whether Lin Menghan left or not, his tone was calm and calm, and he looked out the window with a blurred look, as if he was thinking.
"I know, are you afraid that I will be tired by gossip, don't tighten, I'm not afraid of shadows, besides, there is someone behind me, the one in my family sets a time every day and urges me to come and see you, this soup, or is he staring at it?" Lin Mengran deliberately lied, just to not let Ming Xi worry too much.
"Help me, thank you Tinzi. Mingxi lowered his eyebrows, put down the porcelain plate, and meditated.
Ding Qi is Lin Menghan's husband, and he is also a classmate of the three, and Mingxi also has a ten-year friendship with classmates, but because of their youth, the three of them once lost themselves in a short love chase, resulting in misunderstandings.
Fortunately, Lin Menghan and Ding Qi lived happily and comfortably, and the two established a relationship from the beginning until they entered into marriage.
She has always been spoiled by Ding Qi as the jewel in his eyes, all the housework and chores are almost all taken care of by him, he wants to declare to the world that he loves her, he said, he wants to spoil her as a girl.
It's just that this kind of overlord declares that it seems to be intentionally proved to another person, because there is a knot in the heart, although the knot is solved, the festival is not removed, as stated in the "Neijing": Although the pain is relieved but the convulsion is not removed, there is no gathering.
What you can't put down is what you can't put down, and you can't pretend to put it down.
But out of affection, out of so many years of friendship, and the authenticity of those pasts, Ding Qi is still the same as ever to him, but he lacks the intimacy of being a brother.
Although he didn't boil this decoction, Lin Menghan's traces of going to stay were still acquiesced by Ding Qi.
It's just that when Mingxi mentioned the word 'Ding Qi', Lin Menghan's mood still changed slightly, she bit the corner of her mouth that twitched slightly, and tried her best to hide the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.
For the two people who have not compared each other's names for a long time, when one party suddenly mentions the other party's name, as a party who has been 'in great pain', Lin Menghan still has a little bit of palpitations, and she can't hide the tension and guilt in her heart, because these embarrassing pasts have hurt her best friends one after another.
Maybe Lin Menghan wanted to avoid embarrassment, or maybe she didn't allow herself to fall into the whirlpool of memories anymore, she deliberately and quickly changed the topic.
"Then don't say these kind words, let's eat all the fruits on the plate first, the soup is going to be cold, and the fruits must be eaten today." ”
Before Mingxi could respond, the door creaked open, and then the sound of small footsteps and the sound of 'let's click' messy high heels broke into my ears.
"Yo, isn't this our great beauty 'good man' Lin Menghan, I heard them say that you stay here every day, I didn't believe it at first, no, I really responded to the sentence 'Seeing is believing, hearing is not false'!"
After so many years, she still has a grudge against Lin Menghan, she hates her, hates her, hates her, is jealous of her, she even thinks that Lin Menghan used 'means' to rob the man she loved, although she is already a wife, and she has long been a mother.
While Zhu Li looked at Lin Menghan, she didn't forget to exchange glances with the classmates next to her, and her ugly face was afraid that others would not see it.
Zhu Li sneered, sneering, and continued: "You take care of our old classmates, oops, tsk, I feel that I am ashamed of myself when we compare ourselves to you, oh no, we are all compared to you, I may be a person who is not affectionate, eh? By the way, why didn't your husband come with you? You were the Iron Triangle, oh, no, the Iron Four Corners, right?"
Julie twisted her waist contrivedly, and a well-cut pale blue two-piece dress lined her bumpy figure.
She rolled her eyes and proudly opened her slender and bony hands, caressing her face that had brushed several layers of base makeup, a pair of bright eyes embedded in the petite and gorgeous melon seed face, charming and moving, but the base makeup on the face was too heavy, and there was a trace of ruddy.
On her left hand, she wears a 9-carat pigeon egg diamond ring with a dazzling pink light on her ring finger, which seems to declare her worth a lot of money and how happy she is now.
"Julie, what nonsense are you telling the truth. Have you forgotten that we are here to see our old classmates? It's rude for you to squeeze the escorts, right?"
Cao Xiaoxiao is Zhu Li's little follower since she entered the school, she is always poor and sour, she only knows to cling to Zhu Li's face all day long, and her classmates often mock her as her name, because of her short stature and narrow-mindedness, so she is often cold-eyed by others.
Although Zhu Li saw through her at a glance, she never dismantled Cao Xiaoxiao, because she liked to have such people around her who could flatter her and flatter her all the time.
Even if Zhu Li is jealous and hateful, how jealous and sour, but as for Cao Xiaoxiao, she tends to be inflammatory, is a narrow-minded person who is jealous and proud, in her opinion, she is also half a 'capable person' who knows people and makes good use of them, she knows that no one is perfect, use its strengths, avoid its shortcomings, maybe she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she is deeply influenced by her father who is in business, and she also understands the truth that some things should be used to the best of their abilities.
Later, on the occasion of graduation, in order to prove her ability in the company, she took Cao Xiaoxiao into the after-sales department of her own company, of course, all under the premise that she got her father's permission, she said to her father that she took a fancy to Cao Xiaoxiao's ability to execute and be jealous, because sometimes, you can't deny that it is a driving force that spurs us forward, breakthroughs, and going all out, especially when you are jealous that others are better than you.
