Chapter 30: Break Up
Wearing a suit lent to him by Long Hair, with a white shirt, Shanzi looked full of energy and looked more and more polite. Xie Yuhan held his hand tightly all the way, his palms were stained with sweat, and his heart was uneasy. Walking to the door, he suddenly stopped, Xie Yuhan looked at him affectionately, her eyes were full of approval, she squeezed his hand hard to cheer him up.
"I'm so nervous!" Shanzi closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Xie Yuhan's words made Shanzi embarrassed, at such a time, he actually needed his girlfriend as an umbrella.
"Let's go. Shanzi pulled Xie Yuhan into the luxurious restaurant, which was resplendent in gold, and the bright lights shone on the luxurious marble floor, making him dizzy. His soul is not possessed, as if he is outside of this world, and his brain and body are in a state of temporary separation. At this moment, he didn't have any thoughts, and walked forward with his head bored, his steps wandering, like a drunkard with staggering steps.
Xie Yuhan was pulled by Shanzi and walked behind him, unable to keep up with his steps, almost trotting. She didn't want to disturb him, lest he get nervous again. Upstairs, the waiter greeted him at the staircase and said politely, "Sir, madam, please come with me." ”
Shanzi came to his senses at this time, and his soul and body became one. Walking to the door of the box, the waiter said, "It's here, it's this box." ”
Shanzi stood in the doorway, unable to take a step, and his nervousness swept over again. Xie Yuhan swapped places with him, pushed open the door and pulled him in, his walking movements were very mechanical, and he looked a little funny. Xie Yuhan shouted, "Dad, we're here." ”
Xie Weihong looked at his daughter with a smile, turned to look at Shanzi, and said, "Sit down!"
Shanzi then shouted with his voice: "Hello uncle!"
Xie Yuhan introduced: "Dad, he is Gu Yuanshan. ”
Xie Weihong smiled and nodded, and when they were seated, he said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Director Wang of the Construction Bureau, and this is Mr. Ma of Xingrui Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Nightingale Entertainment Co., Ltd." ”
Shanzi looked over one by one, and the horse was the horse bolt. Ma Zhu'er was staring at him with meaningful eyes, he forced out a smile, and his heart was like a drum being beaten, seven up and eight down.
A table of exquisite dishes was passed to the table by the waiter, which Shanzi had never seen or eaten, and he was dazzled by it. He suddenly developed a strong sense of inferiority, and it could be seen that Xie Yuhan's family was well-off, and he was just a poor boy with nothing, so how could he have the strength to let Xie Yuhan's father give him his precious daughter at ease? He was restless, but he tried his best to restrain himself and strive to be at peace when he came.
The waiter poured red wine into each cup, Xie Weihong raised his glass, and said: "Cheers to all of us for a rare gathering!" Thank you Director Wang and Mr. Ma for enjoying the light in their busy schedules!"
"Whereever, it is our honor to be able to go to Mayor Xie's banquet!" said Director Wang with a flattering face.
"Thank you Mayor for your love!" Ma Xuan'er's face was calm, and he looked much more natural than Director Wang.
Mayor, Mayor Xie? Shanzi heard this, and his heart became more and more nervous. He muttered, could it be that Xie Yuhan's father was Xie Weihong, the mayor of Jindu? Why did she never mention it? Shanzi felt very embarrassed in his heart, he felt like a clown who was being driven to the shelves, acting in a play without a script, and every scene needed to be played by himself and improvise. He took advantage of the others to speak, glanced at Xie Yuhan, his eyes were like torches, he couldn't help but complain to her in his heart, she shouldn't have pushed him into the water, at least, he should have taken a preventive shot in advance.
Xie Yuhan felt Shanzi's strange gaze, she thought that he was not suitable for such an occasion, and she smiled at him to encourage him.
Shanzi and Xie Yuhan's small actions are in full view. According to Ma Xuan'er's understanding of Xie Weihong, he pinched a sweat for Shanzi, thinking: Shanzi really hit the shit luck, and he was able to soak in the mayor's daughter, but whether he can be successfully promoted in the end, it is still unknown whether he will be Mayor Xie's fast son-in-law!
"Yuhan, Xiao Gu, you also raise the cup. Xie Weihong is always smiling, making it difficult to understand his thoughts.
Shanzi's thinking was chaotic, he didn't seem to hear Xie Weihong's words, he sat still, Xie Yuhan quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, and glanced at him, he woke up like a dream, and picked up the wine glass in a panic.
After toasting three glasses in a row, Ma Xuan'er raised his glass and said to Xie Weihong: "Mayor Xie, don't you mind if I toast my fellow countryman Shanzi alone?"
Xie Weihong was a little surprised, but still smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind! It turns out that you and Xiao Gu are fellow countrymen? It seems that this world is still too small!"
"Shanzi, brother respects you a cup!" With Xie Weihong's consent, Ma Xuan'er raised the cup facing Shanzi in the air.
"Brother Ma Xuan'er, I, I respect you. Shanzi didn't know the rules of the wine field, and when he clinked glasses, the rim of the cup was higher than the rim of the horse's bridle.
Xie Weihong saw it in his eyes, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in his heart. He thought to himself: This young man is too ignorant of the rules and unelegant.
Director Wang saw that Ma Xuan'er was not drunk, and he also hurriedly toasted Shanzi. He thought to himself: The young man in front of him has already stepped into the door of the mayor's house with half a leg, as long as he eats the mayor's daughter, sooner or later he will have to step into it with the other foot and become half of Mayor Xie's son. The relationship is built in front, and if you plan for a rainy day, you will not suffer in the end.
Unable to drink, coupled with nervous spirits, Shanzi had already drunk all kinds of meat and vegetables, and shadows began to appear in his eyes. Those exquisite delicacies, Shanzi didn't dare to move, and he didn't know how to start. From time to time, Xie Yuhan put a little food on his plate, and a small mountain was already piled up in the plate.
From beginning to end, Xie Weihong led Director Wang, talked to Ma Xuan'er, and drank wine. Shanzi seemed to be an outsider, and he didn't say a few words all night.
After the dinner was over, saying goodbye to everyone, Shanzi ran into the darkness as if he were fleeing. Xie Yuhan chased after him. kept shouting: "Shanzi...... Shanzi ...... You wait for me!"
Shanzi didn't look back, ran straight to the dark area without street lights, and then stopped, and when Xie Yuhan ran in front of him panting, he said, "Yuhan, let's break up!"
"What did you say?" Xie Yuhan asked in surprise.
"I said let's break up!" Yamako repeated.
"Reason, I want a reasonable reason!" Xie Yuhan said with a cold face.
"There's no reason! Let's get together and disperse!" said Shanzi ruthlessly.
"Gu Yuanshan, I didn't expect you to be such a person! You are a coward, you are a bastard!" Xie Yuhan dropped a string of words hysterically, turned around and ran, and the moment she turned around, she was already in tears.
Shanzi squatted on the side of the road with his head in his hands, whining and crying bitterly. He felt that the gap in the day was too great for him to bear. He felt like Cinderella, no, he felt that he should be like a man, and never let others think of him as a Cinderella who dreamed of wearing a crystal slipper.
Xie Yuhan ran all the way home, ran and stopped, and ran for two hours before he got home. When she entered the house, she didn't say hello to Xie Weihong, tom tom...... Tom ran up to the bedroom on the second floor, locked the door, and threw himself under the covers. She felt cold, and for years, when she was sad, she would lock herself up like this until she calmed down. It's her way of healing herself. Every time, she told herself: Xie Yuhan, you should be stronger, and you have to lick your wounds alone like a wolf.
Xie Weihong looked at his daughter's abnormal mood, he knew that she was sad again, he guessed that she must have had a twist and turn in her feelings, and he couldn't help worrying in his heart, this child, this time, I am afraid that it will not be easy to recover, at the dinner table, he can see that she really likes the boy named Gu Yuanshan. He didn't have much prejudice against Gu Yuanshan, and the impression he left on him was not so bad, as a vigorous and positive young man who came out of the mountains with his own strength, he still appreciated it; however, appreciation is not the same as acceptance, and it is not so easy to be his son-in-law. What's more, how can he be virtuous? How can he afford to take care of Yuhan? Just by virtue of his absurd and ridiculous love, just because he is empty-handed, poor and white?
Xie Weihong thought: My daughter was born a princess, and it is impossible to marry a poor boy who is not in the right household, and she will calculate for rice, oil, and salt all her life. She deserves to live a life of worry-free food and clothing, prosperity and happiness!
Xie Weihong believes that the best way at present is not to disturb her daughter, let her come out little by little, so that she will really grow up, and truly understand that love is just a gorgeous coat, just like the emperor's new clothes, wearing it, you will be confused, and since then you have embarked on a road that runs counter to happiness, life is realistic and cruel; He hopes that one day Xie Yuhan can truly realize that his father is the person who loves her the most in the world.
