On Saturday evening, I finally received a long-awaited phone call from Lu Zhenting, who was finally willing to contact me, and if they didn't respond, I would suspect that they were missing.

"Hey, Zhenting, what's the matter with you one by one, why don't you come to the company, don't you want to run the company anymore?"

In the past three days, I have been doing the work of four people alone, and the Spring Festival is just our tradition, and the holiday for so long has no impact on foreign customers, and I am almost tired of being a dog when I come back just to deal with mail and previous orders.

"Meng Lu, I'm downstairs at your house, come down for a while, let's meet." Lu Zhenting said weakly and hung up the phone.

I hurriedly packed my bag, put on my coat and went out, and when I went downstairs, I saw Lu Zhenting's car parked in front of the apartment, and he was the only one in the car.

It seems that since they have been together, I have never met Lu Zhenting alone like this, could it be that the loving little couple also quarreled?

I opened the car door and sat in the back seat, and was about to ask him about Lis, but he had already started the car and said to me, "Don't ask anything now, I'll tell you when the time comes." ”

Lu Zhenting was listless and haggard, as if he hadn't slept for several days, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, this didn't look like he was going to get married, but like he had been abandoned.

Seeing that he was so depressed and driving, I didn't dare to ask more for the time being, so as not to affect his driving, in case something happened, the car accident would be a matter of minutes.

He was silent all the way and didn't even tell me where he was going, and when I got there, I realized that he had brought me to a bar called "Royal One".

It's a bar again!

The last time Jin Yebai took me to follow Liu Weiqiang to a speakeasy, and then he had an accident, so that I now have an inexplicable fear of the bar.

Could it be that Liss will be in this bar?

No, she's not very good at drinking, and she's going to get drunk when she's drunk, which is a shame.

Lu Zhenting sat down at the bar and asked for a cocktail and a glass of juice.

The cocktail he asked for was called a depth charge, in which he poured two-thirds of the full beer into a wide-mouth glass, filled a small glass with vodka, and then sunk the small cup into a wide-mouthed glass.

This is a high-alcohol liquor, suitable for men, but I have the impression that Lu Zhenting doesn't like to drink, and he only likes red wine when he wants to drink, when is it better than this sip?

Sure enough, there was a problem!

I sat down next to him, and finally saw his face clearly, his eyes were scattered, his spirit was in a trance, his face was like ashes, and the whole person was not angry at all, far from the gentle and elegant man before.

Now he looked like a walking corpse, having lost his soul, and after sitting down, he still didn't speak, just stared at the bartender, waiting for someone to serve him a drink.

Obviously, something very bad happened to him, and he suddenly called me out, and went to pick me up and bring me to this other party, which proves that this matter must have something to do with Li Sisi.

Could it be that something happened to Li Sisi?

The earth is too dangerous these days, and the good ones are either arson on buses or someone inexplicably slashing people with knives, and blood is spilling all over the ground.

I was anxious, but looking at Lu Zhenting's painful appearance, I didn't dare to speak, there were some things he wanted to say, he didn't need me to ask, and if he didn't want to say that I asked, it was undoubtedly rubbing salt on his wounds.

In the bar, facing Lu Zhenting like this, every second was tormented, every minute was as long as a century, he sat there motionless like a statue, but my heart was about to jump out of my throat.

It wasn't until the bartender handed him the wine that he finally moved, grabbed the glass and put it to his mouth, and then poured it into his mouth like beer, and the glass of wine was at the bottom in a blink of an eye.

He put the cup on the bar and said in a deep voice, "Another drink!"

I watched him drink and couldn't help but worry.

I don't know how much he drinks, but I know that this cocktail is named a depth charge, and it is described as deep and powerful, and it has a lot of energy if you drink it like beer.

"Zhenting, what the hell is going on, Sisi, is she back? Did you quarrel? Or did something happen to her?" I have a feeling that Li Sisi didn't come back.

If Lu Zhenting became what he is now because of their quarrel, then Li Sisi would definitely come to me, because she lives with Lu Zhenting, and the real tenant of the house I live in now is still her.

"She's not coming back. The pain on Lu Zhenting's face became heavier and heavier, and the eyebrows in his eyes were full of sadness, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him when I saw it.

Li Sisi will not come back, what does this mean, is there really something wrong with her? I, a crow's mouth, never works when I say good, but I will always work when I say bad.

"What's wrong with her?" I knew it would make him even more upset, but I still had to ask, I had to know the truth.

"She's getting married. Lu Zhenting looked at me sadly, but suddenly laughed, laughing more ugly than crying, and muttered, "She is going to be a bride, but the groom is not me." ”

Is Li Sisi getting married?

Isn't she married to the man in love with her in front of you?

So who did she marry, and why did she suddenly decide to marry someone else?

Obviously, before going back, she kept saying that she wanted to hold a wedding with Jin Yebai, and persuaded me to hurry up with Li Muchi, when the time comes, everyone will wear wedding dresses together, and they will be more beautiful than anyone else, why did it suddenly become like this?

Although there were too many questions in my mind, I didn't ask, just waiting for Lu Zhenting to speak, didn't I come out of him today just to explain to me about Li Sisi?

He quickly continued: "She is an only child, and the family has never known that she has found a boyfriend, so they arranged a blind date for her, the other party is the son of his father's friend, has a unit, and knows each other well." ”

Li Sisi is not young anymore, the second elder must be in a hurry, I can understand this, but what I can't figure out is that she has obviously decided to marry Lu Zhenting, why did she change her mind in the end because of a blind date that came out halfway.

Could it be that the blind date man was powerful and forced her by any means?

Impossible, this is not in the old society, but in the society of the rule of law, how can there be such a thing as bullying men and women.

Or, her situation is the same as Li Muchi, the blind date man was actually her first love, and later separated for some reason, and now the old love has rekindled by chance?

I thought about it while waiting for Lu Zhenting to continue, but he didn't feel happy at all as if he was squeezing toothpaste, and he only said this and looked at the bartender who was bartending for him.

When the second glass of wine came up, he didn't take a sip as before, and after drinking half a glass, he continued: "Si Si originally said that he wanted to surprise her parents, so he didn't tell them in advance that I would go with him, but when he got home, the man was already waiting at her house." ”

"Did Sisi know him before?" In my subconscious, Li Sisi must have known this blind date man.

Sure enough, Lu Zhenting immediately nodded, "I know, they lived in the same courtyard when they were children and grew up together, and then Zhang Xun moved because of his parents' work, and he only moved back this year." ”

Zhang Xun is the name of the blind date man.

"Why did Nassi choose him? Isn't she in love with you now?" This situation is really a little similar to Li Muchi, I am afraid that Lu Zhenting will tell me that Li Sisi and that man have been in love before.

After the first love meets, the old love is rekindled, although the scene of reunion is very bloody, but it happens all the time, or that sentence, there are surprises everywhere in life.

"She didn't agree at first, because she had already decided to marry me, and she introduced me to her parents in front of that Zhang Xun, and clearly told them that we came back this time to get married with a household registration book. "This is indeed Lis's personality, and she will not give in easily.

At that time, everyone was very embarrassed, in front of the man, her parents didn't say much, everyone had dinner together, and soon sent Zhang Xun's family away, and then Sisi was called into the room by her mother, and I chatted with her father in the living room for a while. Lu Zhenting said and took another sip of wine.

I stared at him intensely, trying to urge but couldn't bear it, after all, he was talking about something very painful.

He paused, and then continued: "Sisi and her mother talked for a long time in the room, during which I heard them seem to be arguing, Sisi was very loud, but I couldn't quite understand what was being said. When she came out, her eyes were red, and she pulled me out, and instead of staying at her house that night, she found a hotel outside to spend the night. ”

This is Li Sisi, generally speaking, as long as she is really unwilling to do it, then no one can force her, she is not as weak and easy to bully as me, and she has always been arrogant.

Lu Zhenting let out a long sigh, "After settling down in the hotel, I asked her what happened, whether it was her mother who did not agree to our marriage, she didn't answer, just hugged me and cried very sadly." ”

It seems that her mother must be against their marriage, in fact, when I knew that she and Lu Zhenting were a pair, I was also worried about the distance between the two families, because normal marriages are not a matter of two people, but a matter of two families.

However, thinking that the current transportation is very convenient and there are many contact information, marrying far away is not a big deal, and Lu Zhenting is starting his own company, so he is very free in time, so there should be no need to worry about it.

I didn't know that Li Sisi was an only child, and she rarely told me about her family, and I didn't want to ask, but now it seems that the problem should lie in the distance between the two families across the north and south.

Lu Zhenting continued: "The next day, she answered the phone and left, asking me to wait for her in the hotel, but I waited for a day and didn't see her come back, and I wanted to go to her house to find her, but I was afraid of making her angry and exacerbating the conflict between her and her parents. ”

Since Li Sisi's parents disagreed, he couldn't help other than being able to express his determination and promise that he would be good to her in the future, and it was indeed better not to stimulate the second elder at this juncture.

"In the evening she sent me a message saying that she was not coming back at night so that I didn't have to wait for her, I asked her when she would come back and she didn't answer, it was the only contact we had that day, and then I didn't sleep all night and called her early the next morning but no one answered. ”

Did her parents lock her up and confiscate her phone?

It was a lot more cruel than my parents were to me, but at least they had better intentions than my parents.

"She is too strong, and short-tempered, once stubborn eight cows can't pull back, I was worried that she would go too far with the family, so I went to look for her in the morning, but I didn't even see her people, her father told me that she was not at home, and went out with Zhang Xun, and they didn't know when they would come back. ”

I guess Li Sisi and Zhang Xun should go out to make it clear, telling him that what he likes is Lu Zhenting, and he will never marry someone else or anything, as long as Zhang Xun does not agree to marry Li Sisi, their marriage will not be successful.

"I couldn't find anyone but to go back to the hotel, stayed in the room all day, called her phone at first did not answer, a few more calls turned off, I thought she didn't want to see me, I didn't expect her to come over at night, as soon as she came into my arms and cried, hugged me and didn't speak. ”

I suddenly wanted to know, what did this Zhang Xun think, did he know that Li Sisi had someone in his heart, and he would still refuse to let go for the sake of this eight-character thing? This is too embarrassing.

I advised her not to be impulsive, but she glared at me fiercely and asked me if I didn't love her anymore, and wanted to take the opportunity to dump her so that I could find another woman, I really couldn't laugh or cry. ”

Li Sisi still said this kind of thing at this time, it was really a child's temper, she didn't know how sad it was to get the support of her parents and be homeless in her marriage, if she had chosen, I would never have ended up like this.

Lu Zhenting is obviously for her good, but it's a pity that she is too anxious, her personality is strong, not to mention impulsive, this is one of her most obvious labels, plus she is a party, she is definitely not as good as the mature and stable Lu Zhenting.

After saying the previous ones, his glass was empty again, so he continued to order, and then watched in silence as before.

I really can't wait, at his current speed, I'm afraid I haven't figured out why Li Sisi is obedient until he gets drunk to death, this is not her character at all.

He didn't continue, and I could only change from passive to active and ask him, "You definitely didn't buy a plane ticket, did you? You want to face this problem with her and solve it satisfactorily." ”

"Well......," he replied, "I took her back to her house the next day, but her parents were not there, and she guessed that they must have gone to her grandmother's house, because it was in the next county, so we didn't go, and they waited for two days at the hotel before they came back." ”

As he spoke, a third glass of wine came up, and he took it and continued: "I thought I could convince her parents, but I didn't expect them to listen to anything, and they wouldn't let Sisi marry me. ”

This time he drank more slowly, just took a sip, and said quietly: "They say that they don't care if the person Si Si marries is big or not, as long as they are good to Si Si, love her and spoil her and don't let her be wronged, but there is one thing they must care about, that is, the man must be nearby." ”

Sure enough, Li Sisi's family dislikes Lu Zhenting's side is too far away from them, but is the distance really that heavy?

However, whether it is distance or age gap, it is a very real problem, especially for an only child like Li Sisi, if she marries from the far north to the south, her parents are afraid that they will not see each other a few times a year.

In the past, people often said that the daughter who married out spilled the water, so some people may not be able to return to their parents' home after marrying for the rest of their lives, but now the times have changed, and Li Sisi has been pushed to the balance of love and affection.

Love and family affection are like fish and bear's paws, she can't have both, no matter how difficult and painful, she must make a choice, these days are really hard for her, and I am the culprit.

If it weren't for my introduction, she wouldn't have known Lu Zhenting, let alone fallen in love with him, so she had today's difficult choice.

I was full of guilt and asked weakly, "Then what happened later? If Ess had no feelings for Zhang Xun, she would not have been able to marry him so obediently, right?"

Lu Zhenting pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly, "Yes, we all know that her temperament is more stubborn than a cow, if she doesn't want to, you just put a knife on her neck, and she won't force herself, she will just stretch her neck and scream for you to cut." ”

I immediately understood, and sighed helplessly, "Just because of her sex, so that we forgot that in addition to being a stubborn woman, she is also a strong daughter, since her parents do not agree, she chooses love is selfish and unfilial, she is an amorous and kind person, and she must not be able to give up her parents." ”

Lu Zhenting laughed more ugly than crying, "She is really a good woman and a good daughter, if I am also an only child, I will definitely stay in her house and not let her be so embarrassed and make such a painful decision." ”

Which is more important, family affection and love?

No one can say clearly, depending on the situation, love is definitely important like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, but like Li Sisi, it is difficult for me to choose.

"Her mother was in very bad health, she had a heart attack, and when Sisi was messing with them, she had a heart attack and almost went like this, which stimulated Sisi a lot, and then she slowly calmed down. ”

It turned out that there was such a fatal incident during the period, and it seemed that the situation could not be reversed, and Li Sisi would soon be able to make a choice, although this choice would make her heart twist.

"Her father took the opportunity to tell her a lot of things, if she marries me, across thousands of mountains and rivers, in case something happens to them at home, even if there is a plane, they may not be able to catch it, why they only have a child like her, and they still expect her to send them to the end, if she just follows me away, they will not die. ”

There is no doubt that Lisi's father has seized on her weakness, played her an emotional card, and driven her to a corner, and her choice is already on the horizon.

Sure enough, Lu Zhenting said next: "So when her mother was unconscious, she knelt down in front of her mother's hospital bed in front of her father, promising not to make trouble again in the future, and she would not go with me." ”

Speaking of this, there was suddenly something more in his eyes, called tears, all of which said that the man had tears and did not flick, but he did not reach the sad place, this time, he was really hurt.

"At that time, I was standing outside looking at her through the glass on the door, and when I heard this, I felt that someone had taken a knife and stabbed me in the heart, and stabbed my heart again and again, and the flesh and blood of my heart were blurred, and the pain was so painful that I even felt that it was superfluous to breathe, really, I have never been so painful since I was born. ”

Li Sisi gave up her love with Lu Zhenting for the sake of her parents' affection, this is her final choice, which is reasonable, but it was unexpected by me at first.

If I didn't know how much Lu Zhenting loved Li Sisi before, then his painful words and tears just now had already given me the best answer.

"After her mother woke up, she has been taking care of her, Zhang Xun also stayed by the side to accompany her, I became a superfluous person, standing in the ward looked out of place, I thought I was leaving, so I left quietly, but Zhang Xun chased after me, saying that he wanted to talk to me. ”

What does Zhang Xun have to say to Lu Zhenting?

Did he want to tell Lu Zhenting that he had been in love with Li Sisi since he was a child?

"What does he think? Even if Sken compromises for his parents, he won't agree to marry a woman with other men in his heart so easily, right?"

"Zhang Xun is also strange to say, he listens to his parents for almost everything, his parents fell in love with Sisi, and felt that her character and family background were okay, let him marry him and he was really ready to marry, I have never seen such a man who listens to his parents, if he didn't tell me in person, I still can't believe it. ”

The world is so big, there are no wonders, there is indeed a kind of person in this world who listens to his parents very much, and has been living according to his parents' arrangements for almost his whole life, and has no self at all, called Ma Bao Nan.

Obviously, from Lu Zhenting's description, this Zhang Xun is such a person, a peerless good son, I can't help but worry about Li Sisi's future life.

Everyone knows that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very complicated, and Li Sisi's temper is there, in case she really marries him, then when there is any conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in getting along, which side will Zhang Xun stand on?

If Zhang Xun stood on his mother's side, Li Sisi would have no status at all, and no matter how strong the tiger was, she would be bullied by dogs one day, not to mention that she was just a kind woman?

I no longer have the idea of falling in love with Li Sisi when I was a child, so I asked Lu Zhenting directly, "What did he tell you?"
