Chapter 05: Referring to Sang and scolding Huai
Two days ago, Mogo held a signing of his new comic book at the Xihua Bookstore in the city center, and because of the good sales, the publishing company planned a tour of the book signing.
Towards the end of the book signing that day, he ran up to the third floor to find a book, but the area happened to be full of unpopular books, and there were few people, and he saw a girl squatting in front of the bookshelf crying, all of which were like ice cream, as if she had been splashed.
She was trembling with tears there, in short, it seemed very miserable to Mogo, he had never had much sympathy, and when she was about to leave, the girl suddenly roared: "You bastard!"
Those three words rang out on the third floor of the quiet bookstore, and he realized that she was still holding her phone in her other hand. In the next second, the phone was thrown far away by her and rolled to the ground.
The others looked over because of the commotion here, and at that time Mogo was only a few steps away from her, and he didn't know that he thought he was the bastard that the girl scolded, he thought about it, took off his coat and put it on her, and wanted to comfort her, but she cried even harder.
Just then, the editor came to him, pulled him back to sign the sale, and when it was over, the girl was gone.
Mo Ge didn't take this matter to heart, but last night he sent a ghost to Weibo to click on a private message, and the ghost sent God to receive her private message, so the two of them made an appointment in this place.
He never thought he would have anything to do with that girl, but reality is sometimes more imaginative than the human brain.
"You're Mogo?"
When the young woman's voice sounded, Mogo looked up and saw a delicate face with a light smile, the opposite of what he had seen that day.
"Feng Lan?" he called out her name.
Feng Lan knew that he had found the right person, and politely handed him the washed clothes: "Thank you that day, I wanted to return the clothes to you later, and I found out that you were a cartoonist who signed in the bookstore that day, but I really couldn't find your contact information, so I could only try WeChat private messages, I hope you don't mind." ”
Talking well and behaving generously, Mogo was completely unable to connect the man in front of him with the woman who had collapsed and cried in the bookstore two days earlier.
"Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry, it's just a piece of clothing, what to drink?"
Feng Lan hurriedly shook his head and said, "I have other things, the car is still parked at the door, and I can't stay for long." ”
Mo Ge heard what she meant, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, this place is very difficult to park, and there are traffic police who sneak around every day to copy the signs." ”
She pursed her lips and smiled, politely greeted her two words and then got up to say goodbye, coming and going in a hurry.
As soon as the person left, Chen Yan came out of nowhere, and asked, "How do you know her?"
"Looking at your posture, could it be that you also know her?"
"She is Ruan's best friend. ”
Mo Ge was stunned instantly, this world is inevitably too small, and the woman she met crying in the bookstore was actually Ruan Yu's best friend?
After listening to Mo Ge talk about meeting Feng Lan two days ago, Chen Yan's eyebrows frowned slightly, he had roughly heard Ruan Yu mention Feng Lan's matter, but their husband and wife didn't have a deep understanding of each other's circle of friends, so he didn't know what Feng Lan's situation was now.
Mogo craned her neck forward and asked with interest, "Does she have a boyfriend?" No, is she married?"
Chen Yan hesitated: "It is said that the marriage is out of order and they have separated. ”
The air froze for a moment, and Mogo's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and it gradually faded after a while: "No wonder she cries so sadly uncontrollably in public." ”
But just now, I couldn't see that kind of mourning in her at all.
Mogo suddenly became curious about her for no apparent reason.
That day, Ruan Yan arrived home late because of the department's dinner, and she toasted a lot, and was sent back by her colleagues in a delirium, Chen Yan took her who was full of alcohol, and carried her to bed in disgust.
When they hadn't officially confirmed their relationship, she would occasionally be drunk when she attended a dinner party, and the wine table culture was deeply ingrained in her leadership, and once when he went to pick her up, he found that only one or two of the people at the table were sober, and the rest were drunk on the table, which was simply breathtaking, and there were not many such dinners on weekdays, so he didn't care about it.
Ruan Yu slept deeply, he had originally planned to tell her about Feng Lan, but now it seemed that he could only wait until she woke up tomorrow morning.
But a person who has become a mother actually comes home drunk in the middle of the night and ignores her children, is this like words?
The taste of a hangover is really uncomfortable, Ruan Yu woke up past nine o'clock in the morning, the strange thing is that there is no baby's crying at home, she can't adapt to the deathly silence in her ears for a while, and hurriedly gets up and goes out to find someone.
As soon as I went out, I was attracted by the smell of toast, and looked around, except for Chen Yan, who was busy in the kitchen, Sister Chen, the confinement sister-in-law, and the baby were nowhere to be seen.
"Where's the baby?" she asked Chen Yan, who was facing away from her.
Chen Yan's hands were empty, and he glanced back at her: "Where are your shoes?"
She looked down and realized that she had just run too quickly and forgot to put on her shoes, and at this time she shivered with her bare feet against the cold floor, and ran back to find her shoes before coming out.
"Where's the baby?" she consciously sat down at the table, waiting for him to finish his breakfast.
"You still know you have a baby?"
Ruan Yu frowned: "Do you have to be so yin and yang weird early in the morning?"
"Do you want to think about what time you came back last night? and you are still drunk and unconscious, and you still remember that you have a child?" Chen Yan was unforgiving, but his movements did not stop, and breakfast was already laid out in a short time.
Ruan Yan took a moment of loss, buried his head and took a sip of porridge, and heard Chen Yan say: "Your mother misses the baby, let Sister Chen send your mother there." ”
"Mom, why haven't I heard?"
"Then she'll have to contact you. ”
As soon as Chen Yan reminded her like this, Ruan Yu remembered to get up and look at her phone, and sure enough, her mother had made N calls non-stop between nine o'clock and eleven o'clock last night, and her mobile phone was on silent, and she didn't receive any of them.
"By the way, how is Feng Lan lately?"
"Feng Lan?" Ruan Yu suddenly glared at him vigilantly, "What are you asking her for?"
"I'm kind enough to remind you to care more about your girlfriend. He relayed to Ruan Yu that Mo Ge found Feng Lan crying bitterly, and Ruan Yu's eyebrows crumbled into a figure of eight.
"It must be her unsuccessful ex-husband who is coming to trouble her again, that guy gnaws at home all day long, thinks about it every day, and that family is not a good thing. She threw the bun away, and suddenly she lost any appetite.
"Didn't you hear that you are going to divorce, are you still entangled?" Chen Yan had heard Ruan Yu say earlier, how long has it been, and Feng Lan hasn't done anything yet.
Ruan Yu glanced at him: "Isn't it, sometimes men can only bow down when they are brazen, who let such a master be blind in the first place." ”
"Ruan Yu, what do you mean by Sang scolding Huai?"
"I don't, you have a ghost in the listener, right?" she rushed into the bedroom, picked herself up as fast as she could, and prepared to take a detour to her mother's house to see the baby before going to the company.
When Ruan Yu was confined, she was personally taken care of by her mother Hu Ling, and she was told every day that this was not allowed and that was not allowed, so she was almost tied up in the room and not allowed to go out.
Later, as soon as the confinement came, she couldn't stand the nagging of her old mother, so she invited someone away as soon as possible. Since Ruan Yu entered the Zhiang Group, and was sent to the campus to be promoted to sales supervisor, their mother and daughter are more and more at odds with each other, her mother is a retired teacher, who has dedicated her life to the education industry, and when she sees Ruan Xin, who is specifically responsible for pulling students for the campus to do sales, she always thinks she is a liar.
When discussing the nature of Ruan Xin's work, her mother looked at her as a liar, and over time, Ruan Xin didn't bother to talk about work at home.
As soon as she entered her mother's door, she heard the baby's giggling, and her heart melted at once.
"We Yuanyuan came to grandma's house to play, does Yuanyuan like grandma's house?" she leaned in front of her daughter, grinning and teasing the child.
Hu Ling glanced at her, didn't overdo it, and interrogated directly: "Why did you go yesterday?"
"What else can I do when I go to work?"
"How many calls did I call you and you didn't see it?"
"Didn't I come early in the morning to ask for guilt? I was so busy last night that I didn't receive it, I'm sorry, Mom. ”
"You didn't have another dinner last night, did you drink too much?"
Ruan Yu: "......"
She really didn't want her mother to have such insight sometimes, and she had been drunk a few times when she was still living at home, so her mother knew nothing about it.
"If you don't speak, I'm right. I said Ruan Yu, how old is your daughter, and you are embarrassed to completely leave her at home to drink and socialize by yourself? What are you doing here, do you need to work so hard?" Hu Ling handed over the baby to Sister Chen, and said sarcastically.
Ruan Yu rolled her eyes, and she knew that the final direction was exactly like this.
Hu Ling continued: "In your current situation, you can directly refuse on the grounds that the child is too young, you can't throw everything to the confinement lady and Chen Yan, right? Your mother-in-law already has a lot of opinions about you before, if you let her know that you are raising children like this, you have to blow up." ”
According to past experience, when her mother is talking, she had better keep her mouth shut, otherwise it will become a protracted battle. She nodded frequently and teased her daughter, but she didn't know how much she listened, and she didn't take the old mother's words to heart at all.
At the end, Hu Ling concluded in a speech: "You still quit your job, you just fool parents to sign up, and the tuition fee is so expensive, isn't this deceiving?"
Every time it ended with that.
Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief quietly, no wonder people say that the people's teacher has a bad temper and is difficult to serve, she doesn't know others, anyway, this is true in her family.
The phone rang, and it was from the front desk of the campus.
"Teacher Ruan, when are you going to work?" The voice of the little girl at the front desk on the phone was nervous, and she noticed that something was wrong as soon as she heard it.
"What's wrong?"
"There is a parent who is making a refund, saying that it has been a month and the money has not been refunded, saying that we are a liar school, and they want to sue us, and now they are blocking the door with people to prevent people from entering and leaving. I went to Huang Xiao, but Huang Xiao said that he had a meeting at the headquarters all day today, and asked you to deal with this matter. ”
"Whose parents are they?"
"Zhu Qing. ”
It's Zhu Qing again! Ruan Yu suppressed his desire to get angry and asked, "What about her?"
"Parents are furious when they see her, they can't talk well at all, she is hiding in the office at this time and can't come out, that can't let parents scold the street at the front desk, today is Friday, and other parents will visit one after another. ”
"Okay, I know, you help to pacify, I'll rush back immediately. ”
Ruan Yu hung up the phone and went straight to the campus, and broadcast a phone call to the finance halfway, wanting to ask why the refund was still delayed after a month, but the finance said: "The refund form for this refund has not reached me at all, how can I make the money?"
She didn't have to continue to ask to know that there must be a problem with the refund process, and she suddenly had a bad premonition, but she was afraid that the problem was Zhu Qing again.
