Chapter 91: Receiving Her Invitation
After I died, I thought about being with Li Muchi, but since I became obsessed with everything about Buddhism, I slowly faded this thought, and now I have no idea about it.
Before going to bed, I called Zhou Lijuan and asked her, "How is Meng Shuwei doing now?"
She said: "Sister-in-law, she has long been discharged from the hospital, and now she is still living at your parents' house, and they are taking care of her." ”
I asked again, "What about your brother? It's about to be a holiday now, right? If you have a child this year, you should take Meng Shuwei home for the New Year, right?"
She sighed, "Ah...... Don't mention it, my brother is so busy with his heels kicking the back of his head now, the ghost knows when he is on vacation, my sister-in-law has complained to me several times, saying that he doesn't even hold the child at home, he goes out early and returns late every day, and I wonder if he is looking for a woman outside. ”
It is inconvenient for a woman to have sex during pregnancy, this is for sure, Meng Shuwei is still a mother, and the confinement is not over yet, for the sake of her and the child, Zhou Mingchuan must not touch her.
But I think, even if that desire is not satisfied, Zhou Mingchuan should not cheat again, the lesson I gave him last time was heavy enough, how could he forget the pain before the scar was healed?
Besides, today's women are very realistic, he now has nothing but his wife and children, who can look at him, what is this picture?
So it should be really busy, he was like this when the New Year was closed before, he wanted to make more money while socializing big and small, and then it was better to celebrate the New Year, and this year should be even more so, after all, the efforts of the previous years have gone into my pocket.
Now that I think of Zhou Mingchuan, I don't feel anything except that I feel sorry for him and I feel a little guilty, I think I have let go of my hatred and let go of him.
In fact, I still really want to see Zhou Yujiao again, such a young child, clean and pure without a trace of impurities, I hope she can awaken Meng Shuwei's kindness.
I changed the topic and asked Zhou Lijuan, "How are you and Zhao Dekai doing now? If he can turn back, don't divorce him, after all, your situation is different from mine, having a child will affect the child's growth." ”
"It's not that I want a divorce, it's that he doesn't want me, it is said that Miao Qingqing's little slut is pregnant, and she is clamoring to go home with Zhao Dekai for the New Year, where is it my turn to say no. Zhou Lijuan cried while talking on the phone.
She whimpered, "I used to see you and my brother like that, I was still gloating, wishing that my brother would leave you quickly and marry a new sister-in-law, but now that the same thing happened to me, I realized that it was so painful to be abandoned." ”
After saying that, she simply burst into tears, and I was about to comfort her a few words, when I heard her say hello and hung up the phone.
It is difficult to be a man, and it is even more difficult to be a good person, because people's nature is to only think about themselves, which is why there is a saying that "people will be destroyed if they do not do it for themselves".
Empathy is very important in life, but it is easier said than done, not to mention that Zhou Lijuan is now experiencing the same problem as me, and then I realized my original pain.
Even the people I have experienced it a long time ago are not because of selfishness, completely ignoring Song Qingya's feelings, and provoking Jin Yebai again and again, and doing that kind of shameless thing.
Speaking of which, I really can't compare to Zhou Lijuan.
It is said that men are unreliable, how reliable are women, Meng Shuwei is not sincere to Zhou Mingchuan, she is just looking for him to let him raise children for her and Liu Weiqiang.
Thinking that the child is not Zhou Mingchuan, I sometimes really want to tell him, but with the principle that more is better than less, and it is not about me, I still dispelled the idea, so as not to provoke Meng Shuwei again.
Besides, when I was in the hospital, didn't I promise Meng Shuwei that as long as she lived a good life with Zhou Mingchuan, I wouldn't tell me about it?
As for Zhou Lijuan, since Zhao Dekai is determined to marry the young and beautiful Miao Qingqing, and doesn't want her, the bad wife who gave birth to a son for him, then I can only try to help her fight for Zhao Xiaoyu's custody and alimony compensation.
The ancients had clouds, only villains and women are difficult to raise, but once a man is ruthless, it is also very terrifying, more villain than a villain, and it is really difficult to be born.
Life is boring most of the time, but sometimes it's funny, because even if we repeat something a lot, there will be surprises by chance.
Happy events are naturally the best, there is a way that people are in good spirits when they are happy events, and there is no danger is okay, but the shock is not decided is another matter.
For example, now, due to the upcoming holiday, I was doing the final finishing work, and Zhang Yi from the outside office suddenly opened her throat and called me to go out to sign for the courier.
As soon as Li Sisi heard that there was a courier, he was more excited than me, and immediately asked me what good things I bought, and asked me to sign it quickly and show it to her.
I don't buy much online things, and recently because many courier companies have stopped, online sellers have to stop shipping, and I don't have a courier to sign, I can't help but be a little confused.
When I walked out and saw that it was just a document bag, I was even more puzzled, afraid that the courier sent the wrong one, and carefully looked at the name and phone number, it was really my courier.
Puzzled to sign the express, I opened it while walking, and what I saw was a big red invitation, now I became more and more strange, and the only one among my friends who planned to get married was Li Sisi, but she hadn't decided yet?
Could it be Jin Yebai and Song Qingya? But he and I don't look up and look down, even if they want to invite me to drink wedding wine, they don't need to give it to me by courier, right? What are you doing so mysterious?
Thinking of the doubts one after another in my mind, I didn't dare to open the red invitation that almost stung my eyes, for fear of seeing the names of Jin Yebai and Song Qingya appear on it.
"Hey, it's an invitation? Who's happy?" Li Sisi looked at me, a little disappointed, her eyes only light up when she sees something to eat, and she is very energetic, which is her most significant characteristic as a foodie.
"I don't know, I'll take a look first. I took a deep breath and opened the invitation, but I didn't know if I didn't know it, and I was shocked when I saw it, this was actually the wedding invitation of Zhou Mingchuan and Meng Shuwei, and the time was Saturday night three days later.
Li Sisi probably saw me petrified instantly, and immediately asked, "What kind of expression do you have, what the hell is it in broad daylight?"
"Zhou Mingchuan and Meng Shuwei are going to hold a wedding, so they specially invited me to drink wedding wine. I raised the invitation card in my hand and couldn't laugh or cry.
"This is a weasel greeting the New Year to the chicken, and it doesn't feel good at first glance. Liss waved his paw at me, "Throw it to me and see what good days they have chosen." ”
I threw the invitation card casually, Li Sisi grabbed it accurately, opened it and looked at it carefully, and then shouted, "Isn't their child only full moon, so soon to put on a feast, this is the real marriage of the son, oh no, it should be the marriage of the daughter." ”
In fact, after I divorced Zhou Mingchuan, he went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Meng Shuwei, which Zhou Lijuan told me, it should be right, at that time they were in a hurry to apply for a birth permit.
The biggest purpose of holding a banquet before the year is to take the opportunity to get a lot of money, and most people will be on vacation by then, so there shouldn't be many excuses to go on business trips and not attend anything.
Liss blinked and asked me, "Are you going to participate?"
If it was before, my first reaction would have been to look at Jin Yebai, but now, I just lowered my head and thought to myself.
My sister's wedding was supposed to be attended, but my brother-in-law was an ex-husband, so it was embarrassing, and I thought about it and decided not to go, so I shook my head and said to her, "Don't go." ”
When I said this, I still quietly looked at Jin Yebai, but I didn't expect him to be looking at me too, the expression on his face was very strange, was he also surprised by this invitation?
I thought that Li Sisi would definitely approve of me, but she said: "Lulu, I think you should go, and you must bring a man with you, you can not drink or eat, you can not even give red envelopes, but you must show up at their wedding." ”
"Why?" "It's already very difficult to attend my ex-husband's wedding, not to mention that my ex-husband's bride is still my sister, so I guess no one will want to go to this disgusting relationship, right?
Li Sisi glanced at me and analyzed it reasonably, "You are stupid, of course you have proved with your actions, you are better off if you dump the scumbag, if you don't go, they still think you are afraid of them." ”
Lu Zhenting took over her words, "Sisi, don't mess around with bad ideas, let's hurry up and book a plane ticket." ”
Li Sisi wants to take Lu Zhenting home to meet his parents for the New Year, and then get married with his household registration book, and it is difficult to find a ticket before the year, and he has not bought a ticket for several days.
If it weren't for the fact that the distance was too far, spanning half a country, Lu Zhenting would rather drive there, but Li Sisi couldn't drive, so he had to give up.
It's just that now Li Sisi's interest is in this invitation, how can he care about booking tickets, besides, isn't there another right-hand man Lu Zhenting?
Li Sisi put on a queen's attitude, "If you want to go to my house, you have to buy you a ticket, don't you see that I'm busy? ”
Lu Zhenting looked at her and sighed helplessly, he has always been unable to handle this person on the tip of his heart, it is better to count on her to buy tickets at this time, it is better to shut up and honestly grab tickets.
Li Sisi was lively for a while before she quieted down and threw the invitation back to me, but unfortunately her technique was so ingenious that she threw the invitation directly into the garbage basket.
She smiled awkwardly and comforted me, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, it's rubbish." ”
Fortunately, there was only some waste paper in the garbage basket that I had just cleaned up, and there was no such thing as the peels before, so I bent down to pick up the invitation, shook it a few times, felt it was clean, and threw it into my bag.
Jin Yebai didn't say anything from beginning to end, I smiled bitterly to myself, it turned out that we had become like this, obviously in front of me but like a stranger.
When I was about to get off work, Li Sisi, who was packing my bags, suddenly asked me, "By the way, Lulu, when will Li Muchi go back to his hometown on vacation?"
"He'll be going back before the wedding. "I didn't plan to go to Meng Shuwei and Zhou Mingchuan's wedding at all, their happiness has nothing to do with me, and I don't need to testify.
"Is that a pity, if it weren't for the fact that the tickets for the Spring Festival were too difficult to buy, I would have asked him to refund the tickets and buy them again, and then go back after attending the wedding, hey......" Li Sisi packed up his things, took Lu Zhenting's arm and waved goodbye to me while walking out.
Most people are more active than going to work after work, and they don't want to go to work for more than 20 days a month, and they look forward to getting off work as soon as they get to work, so at this time the people outside have already gone.
After Li Sisi left, my things were almost packed up, and I was about to go out, when I saw Jin Yebai still sitting on the chair, and I didn't mean to leave at all.
"You're going to work overtime today?" I asked him, his voice the same as these days, flat and emotionless.
"No, I don't. He then stood up, took his phone and briefcase, and walked over to me, "Let's go together." ”
I was slightly surprised, what did he mean by this, I try to avoid him these days, every time I get off work, I run away before he leaves, and even lunch is a takeout for Zhang Yi to help order.
He locked the door and walked slowly ahead of me, waiting in front of the elevator and asked, "Are you really not going to their wedding?"
"Hmm. "Did he think I should go as much as Liss did? But, even so, his reasons must have been different.
The elevator opened in front of me, and the others swarmed in, and I was about to follow up, but he suddenly pulled me back, and I could only watch the elevator doors slowly close.
He looked at me indifferently and continued to ask, "Are you afraid of embarrassment, or do you not have the confidence to face them?"
I pressed the elevator button, "I just don't think it's necessary, don't they have anything to do with me for a long time?" I don't feel the need to go to a stranger's wedding." ”
He sighed faintly, "But strangers won't give you invitations." ”
I looked up at him suspiciously, "You want me to go?"
He shook his head and smiled reluctantly, "I said I wouldn't force you to do anything again, just ask." ”
The elevator soon opened again, and this time I quickly squeezed in, and he came in with him, and none of us spoke, only a few people next to us chatting, which seemed very noisy in the small elevator.
At this time, it was the rush hour after work, the elevator stopped from time to time, no one went out inside, and the people outside gradually couldn't squeeze in, I was forced to Jin Yebai, and almost the whole back was thrown into his chest.
When we got to the first floor, everyone came out, Jin Yebai walked very slowly, we will part ways when we get out of the office building, he went to the parking lot to drive, and I went to the bus station to squeeze the bus, so I didn't wait for him.
"Meng Lu. As I walked out quickly, Jin Yebai called out to me.
"Anything else?" I paused and looked back at him.
He walked over and looked a little hesitant in front of me for the first time, "Well, I hope you can still go to their wedding." ”
"Why?" I couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, let me forgive Meng Shuwei I did it, isn't it the best ending to be like this now?
"I know it's cruel to you, but I can't really tell now if you've changed or if you're too well disguised. Jin Yebai said in a low voice.
I didn't speak, just looked at him indifferently, I believe he still has something to say, but I didn't expect that I was so well disguised, but he still saw through it.
Sure enough, he only paused for a moment and then continued: "But I said that I will not force you to do anything again, if you don't want to go, then forget it, but if you change your mind, remember to call me, I will accompany you." ”
"Okay, I'll think about it. I responded perfunctorily, then raised an eyebrow, "Do you have anything else?"
Maybe my tone was too impatient, he was slightly stunned and shook his head, "No." ”
"Then I'll go first, see you tomorrow!" I waved my hand and stepped on my boots and quickly left.
Tomorrow is our last day on the job, so we won't see each other for a long time after tomorrow, and we can't bear it, but we must not show it on our faces.
The bus was as crowded as ever, and I was holding on to the pillar thinking about Jin Yebai's words, and I really couldn't understand him more and more, but fortunately, he didn't force me like last time, otherwise I don't know what the consequences would be.
The next day was fine, everyone got off work early to attend the year-end banquet, Jin Yebai and I were absent, and after saying goodbye, we went back to our respective homes.
Today is also the day when Li Muchi went home, and I bought a ticket for the evening, and I was just in time to take him to the station, so as soon as I walked out of the office building, I called him and asked him where he was now.
He started his holiday today, and he was still at home at this time, but I was closer to the station, so I didn't go back to the apartment, but found a random restaurant for dinner, and then went to the nearby supermarket to buy some fruits, snacks, drinks, etc., ready for him to eat in the car.
Li Muchi's hometown is much closer than Li Sisi, just in a city in the next province, and it is only a few hours by train, so it seems that I buy a lot of things.
Speaking of which, this is all a problem when he was with Zhou Mingchuan at the beginning, because the things in the car are very expensive, and he is reluctant to buy them, so he buys them before getting in the car.
Sure enough, when Li Muchi met me at the station, and I shoved the things in my hand into him, he seemed a little overwhelmed.
"You don't have to buy such a thing, I basically don't eat in the car, and I'll be there when I wake up. "He didn't have much luggage, but with the things I bought indiscriminately, his hands were empty.
I smiled awkwardly, "Uh...... I didn't expect that I would buy it when I saw something delicious, and it would be the same if you brought it back to your family, it was just harder. ”
Obviously you can buy things everywhere, but I rushed all the way to bring them back for the Spring Festival, I'm really giving him a problem, but the things have been sent out, and I don't have a reason to take them back?
