Chapter 119: Faced with a Choice
Deng Liang did not take any measures in the end, and the police did not catch the two people who attacked him, according to Tongtong, Deng Liang recuperated at home for a few days, and then went to work in the company.
After Deng Liang was beaten, I met him by chance in a public setting, it was a social form of drinking party, Wei Haichao asked me to go to her, I didn't expect to meet Deng Liang there.
At that time, he was talking to a few people in the business world, and he didn't see me, but I saw him, so I took a closer look at him, and I found that he had a small scar on his forehead, which didn't look very obvious with cold eyes, but if you looked closely, you could still see that maybe over time, this scar will slowly fade until it disappears.
Deng Liang's mood did not seem to be affected by the sneak attack a few days ago, he was in high spirits and a few people in the business world made a high-pitched discussion about the current economic situation, several people said enthusiastically, when it came to the excitement Deng Liang even danced a little, I know that he has always been a face-loving, sociable, and likes to highlight himself as a competitive competitor, so this kind of occasion is the most suitable for him.
I took a glass of wine from the waiter's plate, drank without a sip, stood in the corner of the venue and watched Deng Liang's wonderful performance coldly, at this time, Haichao came over, she followed my line of sight, and then muttered to me: "That's your ex-husband, right?"
The well-informed Hai Chao had apparently learned about Deng Liang's name from the rest of the population, so he also knew about his original relationship with me.
I glanced at Deng Liang and nodded slightly.
Wei Haichao looked in Deng Liang's direction, took a sip lightly, and scolded secretly: "Phew! It looks like a human and a dog, but it's not a thing!"
Listening to Haichao's grievances for me, I smiled faintly, then took a sip of the wine, handed it back to the waiter's plate, and said to Haichao, "Let's go?"
Haichao looked at me and asked directly: "Let's sit here for a while, shall we? There is food and drink here, rest assured, this drinking party is held by our subordinate unit, and it does not cost money." ”
I whispered in Hai Chao's ear, "Forget it, let's find another place to sit for a while." ”
Haichao was helpless, so he had to smile at me, then glared at Deng Liang fiercely, and followed me out of the hall of the drinking party.
Although I am also very disgusted with Deng Liang's every move now, but I cherish the peaceful life in front of me more, what I am striving for now is that more is better than less, of course, if it comes to an end, I am not afraid of things, but I usually try not to be low-key and not cause trouble, I don't want to meet Deng Liang head-on on this occasion, and then he remembered the beating a few days ago, and then snatched a few words from me in a state of emotion, I don't need to be angry with him, so I pulled Wei Haichao and hurriedly left the drinking party.
Walking on the road, Haichao asked me, "Are you so afraid of him, what does it have to do with him if we stay there?"
I helplessly explained to Haichao: "It's not that I'm afraid of him, you know that Deng Liang came to harass me from time to time a while ago, right?"
Hai Chao nodded at me for some reason: "I know!"
I sighed, and then explained to her: "Later, Ye Xing couldn't see it, so he found two people to teach him a lesson when he got out of the car and no one was around, don't you see that he still has a scar on his forehead? That is the memorial left after that beating, and now he didn't catch the two people who beat him, maybe he was holding back a fire in his heart." ”
Wei Haichao looked at me, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and muttered to me, "So that's the case?"
I winked at her and whispered, "yes, so I'd better not bump into him at this time, so why bother with the muzzle?"
Haichao nodded slowly, and then she looked at me for a long time, sighed helplessly, and said slowly: "Xiaoman, Xiaoman, you said you, you are with such a young boy, this is a stunned rush, he is at this age when he is brave and ruthless, and there is a generation gap with us in some concepts, you said that you are with him...... I don't even know what to say about you......"
Haichao sighed helplessly, I also felt very embarrassed, I didn't know how to reply to her for a while, seeing me like this, in order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Haichao changed the topic at the right time and asked me: "What is the matter with you calling me today?"
Today was originally the initiative to call Haichao to make an appointment, Haichao was here to attend a cocktail party held by a directly affiliated company, she knew that I was passing by here when I went home, so she asked me to come here to find her directly.
At this moment, in the face of Haichao's inquiry, I looked at her and muttered to her: "It's nothing, I just haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you." ”
In fact, I want to talk to Haichao about Tongtong, because Tongtong has not returned to the intimate and seamless state before since Tongtong had an awkward relationship with me last time, and she doesn't like to come to me very much, I always feel that my daughter feels like something is separated from me in her heart, but she doesn't say it, and I don't dare to force her, so these days I feel extremely depressed, and I can't tell others these words, so I have to tell Haichao, a close friend.
At this time, we slowly walked to the door of a western restaurant, so Haichao said to me, "Then let's sit here for a while, and then have something to eat." ”
I nodded yes, and we walked into the restaurant.
We ordered two steaks, a platter and red wine, and the food was delivered quickly, and we chatted while eating.
We talked about some unrelated topics at first, Hai Chao talked about some of her troubles about her recent love affair with her rich and handsome boss, and then, she gradually turned the topic to me, she asked me, "Do you have something to do with me today?"
I looked at Haichao, sighed helplessly, and described to Haichao how Deng Liangcong provoked the relationship between me and my daughter, and how my daughter Tongtong had an awkward relationship with me.
Haichao listened to me while sipping red wine, and scolded her: "Phew! This Deng Liang is really not a thing!
I sighed helplessly, Haichao looked at me, she thought about it and said to me slowly: "But Xiaoman, don't think I'm talking ugly, it's not the same thing for you and that Ye Xing to go on like this, don't say that children can't think about it, and ordinary families can't accept such a big age gap between you." Have you made any plans for your future?"
I looked at Haichao helplessly, shook my head gently, and said in a low voice: "At present, I am just taking one step at a time, and what I am most worried about at the moment is that I am afraid that my relationship with Ye Xing will affect my daughter's study and life." ”
Haichao nodded lightly, thoughtfully, and after a moment, she raised her head and asked me seriously: "By the way, Xiaoman, why don't you meet Lao Wang?"
I slice the steak listlessly, looked up at the tide and smiled helplessly, and said softly, "I don't have that mind now." ”
As soon as he heard me say this, Hai Chao put down the knife and fork in his hand, propped his elbows on the corner of the table, and said to me in a serious tone: "Xiao Man, it's not me talking about you, you and that Ye Xing, it's okay to start that paragraph, anyway, he has done something sorry for you, you also need someone to accompany you after the divorce, and besides, you men and women are not married and unmarried, at that time, the lonely men and widows were together to keep each other warm, it is reasonable," Speaking of this, Hai Chao accentuated her tone, she deliberately clicked on the table, and then said to me, " But now the situation is different, now that you have come out of that low ebb, you no longer need him to accompany you, in the same way, he has been with you for a period of time to make up for the previous debt to you, so I think ah, you break up now, leave a good impression on each other's hearts, and then start your own new life, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Listening to Wei Haichao's earnest words, I knew that she was putting herself in my shoes, but I was still a little hesitant in the face of her suggestion, so I had to smile awkwardly and didn't speak.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Haichao persisted to persuade me: "So I think it's just right for you to accept Lao Wang now, you look at your age, experience, family situation, all aspects are suitable, don't look at Lao Wang has a daughter, but Lao Wang and his ex-wife are all engaged in scientific research, especially knowledgeable and courteous, so the child is very polite in education, and besides, people are in high school now, and they will take the college entrance examination in another year, and they will not live with you, so once you get married, the family is a two-person world for the two of you." By the way, this Lao Wang is still a housework expert, laundry, cooking, and cleaning up the house, you don't have to worry about everything, you see, how good is this?"
Haichao said it wildly, and I also knew that she was not messing with us, presumably Engineer Wang's conditions were indeed good in all aspects, so she took such pains to reconcile me and him.
However, why is it so uncomfortable for me to give up Ye Xing and accept other men as soon as I say it?
At this time, I no longer had the heart to eat, I put down the knife and fork in my hand, tried the corner of my mouth with a napkin, put my elbows on the table, put my hands on my cheeks, and helplessly thought about my thoughts.
Seeing my sullen appearance, Hai Chao said to me while cutting the steak in front of her: "To be honest, I have a place now, or I won't introduce this old Wang to you, keep it for myself!"
As soon as I heard this, I laughed and teased Haichao: "You have an ex-husband in front of you who urges you to remarry every day, and a handsome boss in the back who chases you every day to send flowers and offer courtesy, just like that, do you still have the heart to consider other men?"
Wei Haichao pretended to be coquettish and smiled shyly, but how she looked so shy, she pointed at me with a fork and said to me seriously: "I just describe how good that old Wang is, I don't believe you can just contact him." ”
