Chapter 126: A Midnight Call Comes By
When I went home, it was already the beginning of the lights, the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and when I passed by the snack street, looking at the lively and prosperous scene at the entrance of the street, Wang Hua parked the car on the side of the road, and then said to me with a smile: "The weather is good at night, there is no wind at all, let's go down for a walk? β
I looked at Wang Hua's sincere gaze and thought it was okay, so I smiled faintly at him and agreed, "Okay." β
We got out of the car together and slowly walked towards the snack street.
This street is not far from the university where we went to school, and when I was in school, I often followed Deng Liang here to make tooth sacrifices, but now it is a matter of right and wrong, and it cannot be the same as in the past.
As we slowly paced forward, looking at the young couples holding hands and smiling faces on the road, I wondered if they could be students from a nearby university? Looking at them bowing their heads and whispering, I wondered if they were also telling each other about the eternal vows of the alliance, and a few years later, would that vow disappear without a trace like fragile fireworks?
Just when I was immersed in reverie, I looked back and found that Wang Hua was gone, it turned out that he had stopped in front of a stall selling skewers, Wang Hua bought some grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken gizzards and other skewers, and bought two cups of steaming sweet soy milk, and then handed me one, the two of us were like returning to our student days, while eating these skewers, while strolling through this bustling snack street, with the same sweet smile on our faces as back then.
On the way, Wang Hua asked me, "Su Man, which university did you graduate from?"
I smiled faintly at Wang Hua and replied, "I graduated from Z University." β
Hearing this, Wang Hua shrugged slightly, and said with some surprise: "Oh, it's not far from the university I went to, I graduated from the University of Science and Technology, and our school is on the same street." β
I smiled and nodded at him and didn't say anything.
Later, Wang Hua asked me again: "Xiao Su, you don't seem to like to mention the past, especially the emotional things, are you too hurt?" Speaking of this, Wang Hua felt that there were many mistakes, and quickly added, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to expose your scars, if it's inconvenient for you to say, let's change the topic." β
I glanced at Wang Hua, smiled helplessly, and then said to him slowly: "There is nothing convenient or inconvenient about this, in fact, I am not taboo to mention those previous experiences, after all, the beauty of the past has been fixed in our lives, and we can't deny the beauty of the past because of some changes later." It's just that sometimes I think that since it's gone, let's let those good memories stay in the depths of memory forever, and there is no need to turn them over and over all the time. β
Wang Hua nodded approvingly at me, and then asked me cautiously and slowly, "Who are you and your ex-husband...... College classmates, right?" Wang Hua was introduced to me by Haichao, and they were good friends before, so Wang Hua must have learned a thing or two about me from Haichao.
I glanced at Wang Hua, smiled and nodded at him, correcting him: "To be precise, we should be university alumni." Wang Hua asked me again, "Can you talk about why you separated?"
I smiled bitterly, and then said to him slowly: "It's actually very simple, he fell in love with other women, a young girl younger and more beautiful than me, what about me, because I couldn't stand the long-term family cold violence, and I was on the verge of cheating, so I finally proposed to break up." β
Regarding my marriage to Deng Liang, I can only describe it like this now.
"Oh, that's right. Hearing me say this, Wang Hua nodded suddenly in realization, and then slowly told me, "My ex-wife and I are also college classmates, and later she immigrated overseas because of work, so I also went along, but I was reluctant to struggle for many years, so we separated, by the way, we also have a sixteen-year-old daughter, who is in the second year of high school, and you can meet her when you go back." β
Regarding Wang Hua's family situation, I also have a general grasp of the situation through Haichao's mouth, so it is not surprising for him to say this at this moment, after all, if we are developing in the direction of marriage and love, it is also an important level to meet each other's families.
Therefore, I also responded to him generously: "Okay, my daughter is thirteen years old this year, and she is already in the first grade of junior high school. β
Wang Hua nodded approvingly at me.
There is no passion and spark in the process of interacting with Wang Hua, it is as plain as flowing water, but this is exactly the result I want, after all, I have experienced too many grievances and grievances before, and my heart has been forbidden to toss anymore, and I need such a calm and unpretentious harbor.
That night, Wang Hua sent me to the door of the community where I lived, and when I went upstairs, I found that there were several missed calls on my mobile phone.
My brow furrowed slightly when I saw that it was his call, and to be honest, I was a little scared to answer his call now because I didn't know how to respond to him.
After returning upstairs, I closed the door, walked to the sofa and sat down tiredly, holding my mobile phone and thinking about it again and again, but I still called Zhu Yunxiu back.
"Hey, Brother Zhu, are you looking for me...... Is there something wrong? I'm home. "After the phone was connected, I asked Zhu Yun Cultivator softly with caution.
Zhu Yunxiu didn't answer me right away, but I heard his heavy gasp, and after a while, he said to me lightly, "I thought you would never call me again." β
As soon as I heard his words, I was stunned, and then muttered a little embarrassedly: "How can it be? Brother Zhu, you think that my Su Man is too petty." β
Zhu Yunxiu smiled lightly, and then asked me tentatively, "You haven't been dating this Wang Hua for a long time, right? I remember that a while ago, you were still with that person surnamed Ye...... Boys dating?"
Hearing his question, I hesitated for a moment, and then replied to Zhu Yunxiu with some vagueness: "Well, Wang Hua and I have only recently started dating, and Ye Xing ...... Just ordinary friends. β
Hearing me say this, Zhu Yunxiu didn't speak for a moment, and then he asked me calmly: "Ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend, will they be together...... Cohabitation?"
As soon as I heard this, my point exploded, I didn't expect Zhu Yunxiu to know so much about my life, I was a little angry, so I asked him directly: "You have been inquiring into my personal life?"
Seeing that I was a little angry, Zhu Yunxiu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Xiao Su, I'm just caring about you, I don't want you to be ...... Harm. β
At that moment, I was still very angry in my heart, and his way of caring was too unbelievable.
I was silent, and then said coldly to Zhu Yunxiu: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhu, I'm tired and want to rest early, let's do this today, okay?"
Hearing me say this, Zhu Yunxiu hurriedly said to me: "Xiao Su, don't hang up yet!" His tone was hurried, as if he was afraid that I would hang up the phone immediately.
Seeing Zhu Yunxiu, a big man in the business world who is indistinguishable from the joy and anger of fighting in the business sea, at this time he showed a little childish impatience in front of me, I felt very helpless in my heart, and at the same time a little pity, so I whispered to him: "Okay, I won't hang up yet, just say what you have to say." β
Hearing me say this, Zhu Yunxiu sighed reassuringly, and then said to me slowly: "Xiao Su, at first, you and that young boy, I thought you liked that kind of youthful and energetic type, although I don't think you are suitable, but I can't say anything, but now, since you have separated from him, why would you rather choose this surname Wang than give me a chance?"
Hearing Zhu Yunxiu repeat the old words again, I sighed helplessly, and then said to him: "Brother Zhu, I have already made it very clear to you about this matter. β
Zhu Yunxiu asked aggressively: "Xiao Su, do you care so much about my married status?" I dare to say that in addition to that marriage certificate, what I give you will definitely not be less than any man who loves you, only more. β
I replied to him with a blank face: "I believe you are telling the truth, but I don't need to, because I have my own bottom line." β
Hearing me say this, Zhu Yunxiu was silent, and then he sighed and said slowly: "Xiao Su, you are forcing me to divorce in disguise!"
As soon as I heard this, I was frightened and hurriedly responded to him: "No, no, no, no, don't say that, I haven't said anything to force you to divorce! I hope that your whole family will be harmonious and beautiful, Sister Xie has a husband who loves her, and then has a complete family, and I don't have anything else to ask for......
Zhu Yunxiu sighed and said to me slowly: " In fact, our marriage has long existed in name only, but I am still very afraid of divorce, after all, I am now a person, I have already achieved fame, at this time the divorce and abandon the wretched wife, social public opinion will be very unfavorable to me, at the same time, from the heart, I also have a certain feeling for Fang Ju, although there is no husband and wife life between us, and there is no love, but the family affection is still there, I don't mind dividing half of her family property after the divorce, but, with Fang Ju's physical condition, after leaving me, she is unlikely to form another family, so I still hope to keep this title for her, which is also a little psychological comfort for herγ β
Listening to Zhu Yunxiu's sincere confession, I was silent for a long time, because I really didn't know what to say, and after a long time, I muttered to him: "Brother Zhu, I ...... Understand your situation, but please forgive me, I still don't want to go to this ...... Muddy waters, you probably know how many ups and downs I've been through before, I don't want to get involved in new family disputes anymore, that will kill what little hope I have left for life, I hope you can understand me, don't ...... I'm embarrassed. β
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxiu was silent, and after a long time, he said to me in a heavy voice on the other side of the phone: "Okay, I won't ...... anymore I'm sorry for you. β
Putting down Zhu Yunxiu's phone, I breathed a long sigh of relief.
