Chapter 179: Are You Satisfied?
Mother Xu didn't expect that there were other people on the other end of the phone, and she was disgusted. But adhering to the open-mindedness of being an elder, he didn't show it in his tone, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Jian naturally didn't say it honestly, and said politely: "Can you ask Doctor Xu to answer the phone?"
Mother Xu was still cold and indifferent, and said, "It's the same with me about anything." I'll tell him. ”
Obviously, he won't give his mobile phone to Xu Mingze.
Zhou He didn't want Zhu Key to be implicated by Xu's mother's anger because of himself, so he took the mobile phone from Zhu Key's hand when she was about to speak, said sorry Auntie, and ended the call directly.
Zhu Jian jumped to his feet in anger and said, "Why did you hang up the phone? I haven't had a good theory with her!"
Zhou He squeezed out a smile and thanked her. There was a tiredness on his face.
Zhu Jian knew that she must be in a bad mood at the moment, and suppressed her dissatisfaction with Xu's mother. looked at the ground that had been arranged, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go directly to Dr. Xu's house." ”
Come all the way and arrange it with great effort, isn't it all in vain if you don't see people now?
Zhou He was grateful for her help, but also guilty that she was busy for a long time and ended up working in vain. She knew very well that with Xu's mother staring, Xu Mingze would not be able to come out tonight. She didn't want him to be at odds with his family because of her. squeezed out a smile and said, "Forget it, let's see if he will call later......" After a slight pause, she said apologetically: "I'm afraid I'm going to let you work in vain." ”
Zhu Jian was worried about her, waved his hand and said, "It's all a trivial matter." ”
She wanted to ask what was going on between Zhou He and Xu Mingze, but in the end she didn't ask.
The birthday surprise was still not given to Xu Mingze in the end, and he didn't call all night. Zhu Jian secretly dialed his number, but reminded him to turn it off.
Zhu Jian knew that it must be Xu Mu who did the ghost in the middle, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing that Zhou He's mood was not very good, he simply took the wine, and the two drank in the store.
Although she smiles every day, her mood is not much better than Zhou He. Now the two people who are in a bad mood sit together, and before they know it, they drink too much.
She didn't drink as much as Zhouhe, and after drinking not much, she rushed to the bathroom and vomited. Zhou He wanted to staggered and follow her, but she refused. Went alone.
Zhou He looked at the night scene outside the window and continued to drink.
I don't know how much I drank, but someone sat down across from me. She thought it was Zhu Key's return, and looked up. Sitting opposite was not Zhu Key, but Cheng Wei, who had not been seen for a long time.
He was wearing a black coat, and he had just come in from outside, and he was cold.
He must have known their itinerary for the time he was here. Zhou He didn't care, only looked up for a moment, and continued to drink with his head down.
After drinking the wine in the cup in her hand, she was about to pour it, but Cheng Wei held her wrist, his face was cold and indifferent, looked at the bottle on the side, and said, "Are you going to get drunk here?"
Zhou He didn't look at him and said, "What's the matter with you?"
She said as she wrenched away his hand and sat down again, intending to go and see Zhu Key, who had gone to the bathroom and never returned.
Her feet were fluttering, and when she got to the bathroom, she didn't see the key to Zhu, her alcohol was frightened to wake up, and she immediately took out her mobile phone to make a call.
The mobile phone rang next to her, and Zhou He walked over quickly, only to find that she was asleep on the sofa next to her.
With this stubble, Zhou He didn't dare to drink it anymore. After screaming a few times, he couldn't wake up Zhu Key, so he reached out to help her.
She drank and stumbled as she walked, and it was extremely difficult to help her hold the key. Cheng Wei sat in his place and drank a glass of wine, called the waiter, and asked him to go up to help Zhou He.
With someone to help, Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief and thanked humanity.
The weather is cold, and the car is not easy to fight. I didn't stop a car for a long time. Although they drank wine, both of them couldn't help but shiver.
This is an alley, Zhou He gritted his teeth, and was about to help Zhu Jian to walk to the avenue outside to stop the car, but just as he took a step, a car stopped in front of him.
Cheng Wei lowered the window, and his handsome face was revealed. glanced at her lightly and said, "Get in the car." ”
Zhou Ji didn't plan to take his car, and was about to leave with Zhu Key, when he heard Cheng Wei say coldly: "You just went to take a taxi like this, do you think the security here is too good?"
Yes, both of them were drunk, and it was dangerous on this big night.
Zhou He was silent for a moment, opened the car door, and helped Zhu Key to get into the car.
Since Cheng Wei knew that the two of them were here, of course he also knew where they lived. Zhou Cheng didn't have any extra newspapers to stay in the hotel, and after getting into the car, he looked sideways out the window.
The car was very quiet, and Cheng Wei didn't speak, just looked at the road ahead.
When he arrived at the hotel parking lot, Zhou He laboriously helped the key out. She fell asleep all the way, and now I don't know if it was because of the discomfort in her stomach or what, but she just got out of the car and threw up with a wow.
Cheng Wei originally planned to come over to help, but now his brows furrowed. didn't step forward again, took out his mobile phone, and called people to come down and clean up the mess.
When Zhu Jian went to the bathroom at that time, he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't vomit. This time he vomited a lot, and his face turned white.
One after another, Zhou He's wine woke up. Cheng Wei refused to come forward to help, and she was worried about what to do, when several hotel staff hurriedly came over. Help hand the water to the blessing key and clean up the filth from the ground.
She knew that the person was called by Cheng Wei, so she didn't say anything, but just thanked her.
Zhu Jian was also helped back to the room by the staff in the hotel, and when she was simply cleaned up and covered with a quilt, Zhou He was already sweating.
I didn't feel anything when I was trying to do things, and when I stopped, the groggy feeling in my head came up again.
She was about to make a cup of strong tea to sober up, and when she looked up and saw Cheng Wei standing at the door smoking a cigarette, she remembered that he hadn't left yet.
Although he drove them back, it didn't feel good to be watched by people for everything. She couldn't say thank you.
Cheng Wei didn't expect her to say thank you, raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "I'm next door, something to call me." ”
He didn't wait for Zhou He to speak, and went directly back to the next room.
Zhou He's head was uncomfortable, so he made a cup of strong tea and drank it, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and collapsed on another bed.
Although she was drunk, she couldn't sleep because of something in her heart. She forced herself not to think about anything, and just lay straight on the bed. I don't know how long it took before I fell asleep in a daze.
The hangover two woke up the next morning in a daze, and neither of them mentioned yesterday's incident again. Zhou He didn't plan to let Xu Mingze know that she had been here.
I have to go back today, and after getting up and washing, the two of them went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. Neither of them could eat, so they only ordered white porridge.
Before I could eat a few bites of porridge, the waiter sent two bowls of soymilk fritters and a basket of xiaolongbao with sobering soup. Zhu Jian was confused and said, "We didn't order this. ”
The waiter put the things down and said, "The gentleman over there asked me to send them." ”
Zhou He looked over and saw Cheng Wei eating breakfast slowly.
The two of them looked at him and didn't react at all, still eating his food slowly.
Zhu Jian had seen him, but he didn't have any contact. looked at Zhou He and said suspiciously, "That seems to be Mr. Cheng?"
Zhou He nodded silently.
Although she didn't know the relationship between Zhou He and Cheng Wei, Cheng Wei brought breakfast over and didn't come to say hello, which means that the two are probably more than ordinary friends.
Zhu Jian silently ate breakfast now.
The breakfast Zhou Hedong sent by Cheng Wei didn't move, and only ate the white porridge in the bowl.
After breakfast, I was going to go back to school. But before he could go out, Zhou He's mobile phone rang. She took out her mobile phone, and the call was from Xu Mingze.
She didn't answer it for a while, and it took a while to pick it up. Gave a feed as usual.
Xu Mingze's tone on the other end of the phone was a little anxious, and he asked, "Ahe, are you still here?"
When he asked, it meant that he knew about yesterday's phone call.
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou He to answer, he immediately said again: "Where are you, give me the address, and I will come over immediately." ”
He didn't know where it was, and his footsteps were a little hurried.
Zhou He knew that the two of them should stop when they got here. She hadn't intended to let him know that she was here, but since he already knew, he should have made it clear sooner.
She was silent for a moment, and said, "Where are you, I'll come here." ”
Xu Mingze still didn't insist in the end, agreed on the place, and said: "Ahe, about my mother......"
He felt a little powerless, and without thinking about it, he also knew that his mother had said something unpleasant.
mentioned Xu Mulai, Zhou He couldn't find anything to say, and said, "Hang up first, I'll come over immediately." ”
She hung up the phone and saw Zhu Jian looking at her worriedly.
Zhou He smiled apologetically at her and said, "Maybe I can't leave in the morning, I want to go out for a while." ”
Zhu Jian heard her call, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"
Zhou He shook his head, squeezed out a smile, and said, "No, I'll just go by myself." You take a break, or go out for a walk, and we'll go back when I'm back. ”
Although Zhu Jian was worried, he still nodded and said yes.
Zhou He went out the door.
It's raining outside, and it's not easy to get a taxi. She went straight to the parking lot.
Cheng Wei didn't know how she was going out, and as soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw him standing next to the car. With a cigarette in his hand, he looked like he had been standing for a while, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he was waiting for her.
Zhou He's face didn't have any expression, his footsteps only paused slightly, and then walked over.
It was quiet in the parking lot, Cheng Wei glanced up at her and asked, "Where are you going, I'll send you." ”
Zhou He was a little tired when he saw him, and he didn't look at him, and said lightly: "Cheng is always idle?"
Cheng Wei dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand and said, "I'm going out and I'll take you by the way." Do you think you're fit to drive now?"
Because of the hangover, Zhou He's spirit was not good, and his face was a little pale.
She didn't want to see him at the moment, and said without thinking: "If it's not suitable, don't bother with Mr. Cheng, it has nothing to do with Mr. Cheng." ”
Cheng Wei's eyes fell on her and he didn't speak. After a while, he said lightly: "Ah He, are you deliberately provoking me?"
As he spoke, he approached Zhou He step by step, and his eyes were dark and gloomy.
She pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.
Cheng Wei stopped two steps away from her, opened the car door behind her expressionlessly, and said, "Get in the car." After a slight pause, he continued, "My patience is limited. ”
Even if she doesn't get in the car, he has a way to get her in the car. Zhou He couldn't be clearer, and he no longer made useless resistance and got into the car.
Cheng Wei had a driver in the car, and when he closed the door, he glanced at her and asked, "Where to go?"
Zhou He said that he had an appointment with Xu Mingze. The driver in front of him answered yes and quickly started the car.
It was drizzling outside, and even the sky was gloomy.
Zhou He didn't speak all the way, just looked out the window at the city in the rain. When there was still one street away from Xu Mingze's agreed place, she asked the driver in front of her to stop, saying that she just got off here.
This time, Cheng Wei did not stop her and asked the driver to stop the car. The umbrella in the car was given to her before she got out of the car.
Zhou He said thank you, and walked into the rain without looking back with an umbrella.
The driver didn't drive immediately, Cheng Wei just looked at Zhou He's back as he walked farther and farther. It wasn't until he couldn't see it at all that the driver in front of him cautiously asked, "Mr. Cheng, where are we going?"
Cheng Wei's face was gloomy, and he didn't speak for a long time.
When Zhou He entered the agreed café, Xu Mingze had already arrived. He was answering the phone, and when he saw Zhou He coming, he quickly ended the call and called the waiter to ask Zhou He what he wanted to drink.
Zhou He's stomach is still very uncomfortable at this time, just let a glass of boiled water.
The waiter went down quickly. Xu Mingze called Ahe, with a wry smile on his face, and said, "I'm sorry Ahe, I didn't know that my mother answered my call." She...... I'm really sorry. ”
He only found out today that Zhou He had called him yesterday, and his mother forgot to delete the call log. He inexplicably accompanied his eldest brother and father to drink on his birthday last night, and when he got up this morning to check the time, he saw the call log, and only then did he know that his mother answered his phone.
Zhou Ji didn't know how to talk about this topic, so he squeezed out a smile and shook his head, changed the topic, and asked, "Are you going to work today?"
Knowing that she didn't want to talk about that topic, Xu Mingze felt even more guilty in his heart, and said, "It's only in the afternoon." After he finished speaking, he said again: "Ahe, my mother must have said a lot of unpleasant things, and I apologize to you here." I'm really sorry, I'll talk to them. ”
He originally planned to delay a while and talk to his parents again, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this.
He also knew that Zhou He appeared here because of her birthday. Otherwise, for no reason, how could she have come here.
He still had a lot to say, but before he could start speaking, Zhou He was silent for a moment and said, "Doctor Xu, we may really be inappropriate. So be it. ”
Xu Mingze couldn't help but be stunned at this time, and said: "Ahe, in this relationship, I never intended to just play. Please trust me, I will convince my family. ”
Zhou He shook his head, trying to squeeze out a smile, but he still couldn't squeeze it out, and said, "It has nothing to do with your family, it's because of myself." After a slight pause, she continued, "Sorry, I can't get in." ”
Xu Mingze's eyes looked straight at her and said, "But Ahe, I know you're working hard." ”
She didn't open up to him, and he naturally felt it. But he also saw her efforts, and when he first called, she spoke very little. But later, every time she called, she tried to talk a lot. I will also share some interesting things from school with him.
Zhou He was silent for a while, and after a while, he said seriously: "Doctor Xu, a person like me is not worthy of any conflict between you and your family. I'm not as good as you think, and I can't be honest with you. Her tone was very calm, and she said, "So, it's good to be here." Thank you very much for this time. ”
The expression on her face was calm, as if she were an outsider. After speaking, without waiting for Xu Mingze to speak, she stood up and said, "I'll go first." ”
She said and hurriedly walked out, and when she reached the door, she was grabbed by Xu Mingze's wrist, he looked at her, and said, "Ahe, is this your true words?"
There were no customers in the café when it was raining, and the movement of the two at the door only attracted the waiters inside.
Xu Mingze has always been a calm and self-contained person, but now, he can't restrain himself.
Zhou He broke away from his hand little by little, looked up at him, and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault." From the beginning, there should never be a beginning. It's me who didn't think it through, I'm sorry. ”
Halfway through her words, her gaze shifted to the side. didn't go to see Xu Mingze.
Xu Mingze took a step back dejectedly, Zhou He didn't stay any longer, and he went directly into the rain without bringing an umbrella.
There was a chaotic piece in her mind, she should have taken a taxi back to the hotel, but she didn't take a taxi, and after walking a long way, she stopped at the entrance of a shopping mall under the increasing rain to avoid the rain.
There was no focus in her gaze, she was blank. Indeed, it was she who did not think it through. From the beginning, she shouldn't have promised Xu Mingze.
She wants to start over, and she shouldn't pull an innocent person.
Zhou He was exhausted at this moment, leaning against the wall and not moving. She stood for an unknown amount of time, and was about to cheer up and go back to the hotel when her mobile phone rang.
She didn't plan to answer it, thinking it was a call from Zhu Key, so she picked it up without looking at her phone.
As soon as he fed it, the person on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Listening to this voice, Miss Zhou is breaking up with Dr. Xu, right?"
It turned out to be Wan Qiwen.
Before Zhou He could speak, she snorted again and said, "It seems that the relationship between you and Dr. Xu is quite fragile. I just said a few casual words in front of his mother and you broke up, I really didn't expect it. At this point, she chuckled again, and said, "But it's better to break up now than to divorce after marriage, isn't it?" But I have to remind Miss Zhou that when you fall in love with someone in the future, you should first talk about your past. After all, there are many families whose parents are very conservative like Dr. Xu's parents, and they can't accept that their future daughter-in-law will spend a lot of money at a young age. ”
It turned out that she was behind the ghost. Probably because she had mentioned it earlier, Zhou Ji didn't think it was strange. didn't wait for her to say anything more and hung up the phone.
She stood at the entrance of the mall for a while, and then arrived at the side of the road and stopped the car to go back to the hotel.
Zhou He was in a trance all the way, the car stopped at the door of the hotel and the driver reminded her that she had arrived, she came back to her senses this time, took out her wallet and paid, and got out of the car in a hurry.
She stayed outside for more than two hours, originally thinking that Zhu Jian was waiting for her in a hurry. But back in the hotel, she wasn't there, she should have gone out for a walk.
Zhou He originally wanted to call her, but she was tired and weak, so she didn't call again, took off her coat that was already wet outside, put it aside, and lay on the bed.
Her mind was a mess, and she didn't even have long before she fell asleep.
She woke up suddenly, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Cheng Wei on the side. She didn't know how he got into the room, pursed her lips, and was just about to sit up from the bed, only to find that her head was a little dizzy, and her body was weak and weak.
Cheng Wei stretched out his hand to help her, turned around and poured her a glass of water, and said, "You have a fever, and you have already asked the doctor to come over." ”
His voice was much softer than it had been in the parking lot not long ago.
Zhou He didn't go to pick up his water, and after seeing that it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, he was about to call Zhu Key's phone and ask her when she would come back.
It's just that before the phone was dialed, Cheng Wei said: "I have asked someone to send Miss Zhu back, you now have a fever and need to rest well, and you will go back when the fever subsides." ”
His tone was understated, and before Zhou He knew it, everything related to her had been arranged.
Zhou He no longer had the strength to argue with him, and he didn't have the slightest expression on his face, so he got out of bed and put on his shoes and planned to leave by himself.
Cheng Wei sensed her intentions, and didn't drag her, lifted his eyelids, and said lightly: "Do you think you can get out?"
He had apparently calculated that she was going to leave when she woke up and learned that Zhu Jian had gone back.
Zhou He's footsteps stopped, the corners of his lips showed some sarcasm, and he looked back at Cheng Wei.
