Sheng Chen smiled, picked up his mobile phone, and just typed "100 times" before he sent it, the third WeChat message appeared in time: "Today is my 38th birthday......"

Sheng Chen deleted "100 times", bit his lip, and replied with one word: "Good!"

Lijing Restaurant, not far from Monwei's company, is a Western-style restaurant. In the summer, you can enjoy the refreshing summer breeze and starlight in the open air, but in the winter, when the weather is cold, the restaurant covers the open air with canvas and has heating. Still, it's not as warm as it is indoors.

Meng Wei made a special reservation for the canvas restaurant.

Because it is a temporary building, the layout of the canvas restaurant is slightly shabby, and the heating air of the air conditioner is turned on sufficiently, but due to the poor insulation effect, you can still feel the slightest coolness. But fortunately, there are few people, and it seems quiet and warm.

The canvas restaurant is more than 50 square meters, but there is only one table of guests Sheng Chen and Meng Wei. When Sheng Chen arrived, Meng Wei was already sitting at the table, ordering.

The 38-year-old Meng Wei is tall, he grew up in Inner Mongolia, he looks burly, and at first glance, he looks like a big man. If you get close, or if you are familiar with it, you will find that under the rugged appearance of Meng Wei, there is a delicate heart.

Meng Wei had thick hair, a broad forehead, a broad chin, and small eyes, which were thin and long, and narrowed into a slit when he smiled, with a slight sense of joy, which did not match his tall figure and stocky appearance.

Seeing Sheng Chen come in, Meng Wei squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's a little cold, but you can keep it quiet." If you feel that the temperature is too low, we can go to the inside seat. ”

"No, it's good here, it's good for calm thinking. Sheng Chen took off his coat, revealing the tight sweater inside, "You are in charge of ordering, I don't care, just eat." ”

"Okay......" Meng Wei smiled casually and naturally, called the waiter, ordered a few dishes, and asked for a bottle of red wine, "Drink less?"

Sheng Chen waved his hand: "No, I haven't drunk for a long time, so I won't make an exception." ”

It should be said that tonight's dinner has a bit of an ambiguous mood, after all, there are only two people, and Meng Wei deliberately chose the canvas restaurant outside, it should be a careful thought, Sheng Chen felt slightly uneasy in her heart, she rubbed her hands: "Have you been in contact with Shanmu a lot recently?"

Meng Wei frowned slightly, understanding that Sheng Chen was deliberately reminding him of something, and smiled again: "Not much, I haven't been in touch with him much." How long are you going to have trouble with him? If you can't do it, just break up, stop torturing each other. ”

"Did you tell him about the class reunion?" Sheng Chen lowered his head slightly, his mind was a little fluttering, "I'm hesitating to tell him ......"

Meng Wei immediately guessed Sheng Chen's thoughts: "Are you worried that your classmates will see that there is something wrong with your marriage?"

Sheng Chen sighed: "If at the beginning, I was worried that my classmates would laugh at or pity us if they knew that there was a crisis in my marriage with Fang Shanmu, but later I came into contact with many couples who got married for the first time, and many of them went their separate ways after only half of the walk, so I thought about opening a lot." Compared with the 70th class of lovers who walked from their first love to the family, the 80s and 90s are relatively few. Especially in the class of 90, the proportion of college classmates getting married has dropped a lot compared to the class of 70. ”

Meng Wei didn't expect Sheng Chen to come up and talk about a social phenomenon, he was stunned, and then shook his head: "Actually, I think the root of the problem between Shanmu and you is not because of the classmates, but after going to society, one goes too fast and the other goes too slowly, and the inconsistent pace leads to marital conflicts." ”

"Do you mean that I stood still and dragged him back?" Sheng Chen suddenly raised his voice, "Meng Wei, don't put your marriage problem on me and Fang Shanmu's head, my problem with him is different from the problem between you and Liu Xin!"

Before coming to work in Mengwei's company, Sheng Chen only knew that Mengwei was divorced, and she didn't know the specific reason, and she didn't even know who Liu Xin was. It is said that classmates are classmates, and they stay in the capital together, so they should have a close connection. But because Meng Wei's pursuit of her was too long-lasting, Fang Shanmu was both disgusted and wary of Meng Wei, so as soon as she and Fang Shanmu got married, she cut off contact with Meng Wei.

Later, if Meng Wei hadn't added her WeChat several times, she might have completely lost contact with Meng Wei. At Meng Wei's insistence, although she kept his WeChat and contact information, she also made an appointment with him in three chapters, one, unless there is a major matter, don't contact him usually. Second, don't make small talk. Third, just ask about the other party's internal family affairs, and don't talk about topics beyond the friendship of classmates.

Under the three rules, Meng Wei is just a symbol that exists among Sheng Chen's contacts, at most it is a friend of the circle of friends. Over the years, Meng Wei has kept his promise and never crossed the line, except for symbolic greetings during the New Year's holidays, he never disturbed Sheng Chen at ordinary times.

If he hadn't heard the news that Sheng Chen was looking for a job from someone else, Meng Wei wouldn't have known that there was a serious rift in Sheng Chen's relationship with Fang Shanmu.

After Sheng Chen came to Mengwei's company, the two began to have more contact, and slowly learned the reason for the crisis behind the two families. Although Sheng Chen also knew the fact that Meng Wei had been divorced for many years, after coming to Meng Wei's company, he learned the truth about his divorce from Meng Wei's mouth.

Meng Wei and Liu Xin are neither classmates nor colleagues, but know each other on a blind date. As a native of Inner Mongolia, Meng Wei originally didn't have much interest in Liu Xin, who grew up in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, he preferred bold and spicy girls, Liu Xin's temperament is too delicate and tactful, and he likes to let people guess her thoughts, and what things are always not said on the bright side.

After talking for a while, Meng Wei wanted to end, he always liked Liu Xin's light and sparse personality, and she always spoke in a tentative and skeptical tone. Liu Xin disagreed, saying that she liked him, and for her sake, she was willing to change and become everything he liked.

Meng Wei was moved, and when a girl is willing to change herself for a man, it shows that she is true love for him. Later, after getting along for a long time, he found out that Liu Xin's so-called willingness to change for him was just talking, in fact, she was only accommodating him on the surface, but secretly wanted to influence and change him a little bit!

Just when Meng Wei wanted to break up again, Liu Xin told him that she was pregnant. In desperation, Meng Wei had no choice but to marry his son. Soon after the marriage, Liu gave birth to a daughter.

Before getting married, Liu Xin's job was very ordinary. After giving birth to a daughter, she was at home with peace of mind. After graduating from university, Meng Wei worked for a year, and he quickly quit his job to start a business, and after a year or two, the company began to become formal, and his income gradually increased.

After becoming a full-time mother, Liu Xin devoted herself to her daughter and cultivated her daughter to be very well-behaved and cute. But at the same time, with Meng Wei's frequent socialization and business getting bigger and bigger, after the family hired a nanny, Liu Xin no longer needed to pick up and drop off the children and take care of housework, and his mind shifted to Meng Wei again, and he began to wonder if Meng Wei was someone outside.

In fact, at first, Meng Wei also understood Liu Xin's insecurity, after all, he walked too fast and Liu Xin kept standing still. Also graduated from university, he also studied for a master's degree while running a company, and taught himself English, which means that after graduating from university, he has always been running and has not stopped moving forward for a moment.

And Liu Xin, who graduated from college, needless to say during the period of giving birth at home, is to take care of the housework with the children, and in his spare time, he is either watching TV or chatting online. Later, after hiring a nanny, she let go of everything at home, in addition to beauty, shopping, makeup, shopping and playing, she didn't read books or news, only watched romance dramas and liked gossip every day.

Although Liu Xin didn't say anything, he was getting bigger and bigger, and he became vain, Meng Wei didn't say anything about her out of love for her and understanding her difficulty in having children and raising children. Even when she gave money to her parents and family behind his back, at most once transferred 500,000 yuan to her younger brother to buy a car, he endured it.

But what he never expected was that Liu Xin was too idle to do, and met a Xiao Xiao who was ten years younger than her through the introduction of the so-called best friend. Xiao Xiao is still in college, tall, handsome and handsome, able to speak, and soon Liu Xin is fascinated, Liu Xin forgets his responsibilities as a wife and his obligations as a mother, and looks for every opportunity to mix with Xiao Xiao.

She thought that Xiao Xiao was true love for her, but she didn't know that Xiao Xiao was just trying to cheat her out of money. After defrauding more than 1 million from her one after another, Xiao Xiao got tired of her and began to alienate her. She couldn't stand it anymore and went crazy to find Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao avoided her at the beginning, and later blocked all her contact information, which made her close to collapse.

Liu Xin, who couldn't stand being deceived and abandoned by Xiao Xiao, finally blocked Xiao Xiao in a bar after three months with the help of others. Xiao Xiao was dancing with a young and bewitching girl, and Liu Xin angrily stepped forward and slapped Xiao Xiao, asking him why he kept saying that he loved her, but it was just for her money.

Xiao Xiao was beaten so angry that under the attack of alcohol, he pointed at Liu Xin's nose and scolded: "Lao Tzu is not looking for your money, is it because you are more than ten years older than Lao Tzu? I don't look in the mirror to see what you look like, an old woman who is about the same as my mother, do you think I will love you? I am only in my 20s, and I still have a lot of youth to squander, you look at your out-of-shape figure after giving birth, as well as ugly stretch marks, fat ass and soft chests, you don't really naively think that I will fall in love with you, right?" Hahahaha, who gave you the confidence and courage?"

Liu Xin was so decently beaten that he didn't even have the strength to fight back, and he returned home alone in despair. When Meng Wei returned home, she confessed everything to him, hoping to ask for his forgiveness, and she would change her past mistakes and promise to always be good to Meng Wei and never change her mind again.
