Chapter 23 Invitations

Zhao Shengnan frowned from the beginning to the end, and after Li Mingqing finished speaking, Zhao Shengnan's eyebrows stretched out and asked, "Why did you tell me this?"

Li Mingqing touched his head with his hand and said slowly: "It's not the first time I've told others about it, and those people have different reactions after hearing it, I don't know if you believe it, but we are indeed not all the way, you can use this as a reason for my refusal." ”

Zhao Shengnan didn't know if what Li Mingqing said just now was true, and what Li Mingqing said, ordinary people must think that Li Mingqing was a psychopath, and Zhao Shengnan was difficult to accept at the moment.

"Have you ever liked other women after Yang Hui?" Zhao Shengnan asked after being silent.

"Yes, and I've confessed, but it didn't work out. Li Mingqing replied without thinking.

"What about me?"

Li Mingqing thought for a while, looked at Zhao Shengnan's eyes and said, "Not before." ”

"What about later?"

"We shouldn't see each other again, and don't let it happen if it doesn't come to fruition. ”

"You rejected it first, didn't you?"

"Because there is no result, I refuse to start. ”

Zhao Shengnan smiled bitterly: "From the moment you sneaked into my heart, I locked him firmly inside, no matter what you think, there is only you in my love world now." ”

"Love is not fixed or unique, what you like is not necessarily suitable, maybe in the future you experience some things or some people, you will find that I slowly fade out of your world. Finally, I hope that you will never make a compromise or make do in your future marriage, and do not mix in any reasons that have nothing to do with love. After Li Mingqing finished speaking, he got up and looked at the darkening sky and whispered: "Go home for the New Year." ”

Zhao Shengnan slowly got up and looked out the window, then at Li Mingqing, and then left with his bag and luggage, and Li Mingqing sent Zhao Shengnan to the door of the community.

Zhao Shengnan walked out of the community and turned around and asked, "Can you tell me about your relationship with Wang Li?"

Li Mingqing shook his head and said, "Let the past pass." After speaking, Li Mingqing waved his hand and turned to leave.

Zhao Shengnan spent a long time at the gate of the community to adjust his mentality, but he was never able to calm down his heart, sadness and grief and other feelings were entangled in his heart, Zhao Shengnan wanted to cry but couldn't cry, at this time his father's figure flashed in his mind, when he was a child, as long as Zhao Sheng was a little unhappy or encountered troubles, Zhao Shengnan's father Zhao Jianguo would accompany Zhao Shengnan to comfort and help her, and for a long time, as long as Zhao Shengnan encountered sad and sad things, he would go to his father to tell him, this is the first time Zhao Shengnan missed his father so much after leaving home from college。

Zhao Shengnan took a deep breath and looked back at Li Mingqing's floor, then called a car and left.

After Li Mingqing saw Zhao Shengnan leave through the window, he also breathed a long sigh of relief, cut off the water and electricity, and went out with a box of luggage.

The sky was completely dark, Zhao Jianguo and He Min sat on the sofa on the first floor and watched TV, He Min looked at the watch time, got up and said to the servant: "Ah Xia is ready to serve, don't wait for Doudou." ”

After hearing this, the servant nodded and walked towards the kitchen, and not long after he finished speaking, a horn sounded in the courtyard, and the butler came in and said, "It's the second lady who has returned." ”

The next moment, Zhao Dou walked into the living room with a pout, handed the R8 key to the housekeeper and said, "Uncle Li help me stop the car, the garage light is still broken, I almost scratched the car last night." ”

The housekeeper took the key and nodded and went to park, He Min shook his head and said, "Come over for dinner, it's going to be the New Year, and I come back so late every day." ”

"Don't mention Mom, just because some of the sales in many stores have gone home for the Chinese New Year, and today the business is good, my friend and I have been helping, and we haven't rested until I got off work just now. After Zhao Dou finished speaking, he picked up the water cup on the table and drank it all.

Zhao Dou studied fashion design in college, and after graduating from college, Zhao Jianguo paid for it, Zhao Dou and her girlfriend partnered with several brand clothing stores, and Zhao Dou and her girlfriend are now preparing to establish their own clothing brand.

No one spoke at the dinner table, only the sound of dishes and chopsticks could be heard, Zhao Dou has adapted to this atmosphere, his father rarely laughs over the years, often leaves alone with a cold face, and his mother is always preoccupied, Zhao Dou has also seen his mother secretly wiping tears in the bedroom several times.

Zhao Dou can't remember when he started to become like this, did he and his mother move into this big house, or did it start after his sister left home? Zhao Dou doesn't know why his sister hasn't come home all these years, and he doesn't know why his sister doesn't contact his family, after graduation, his father didn't let him go to his company to do things, and his mother didn't allow him to contact his father's company, Zhao Dou was not interested in the things of his father's company and knew that those that didn't belong to him, his father had been waiting for his sister to come back and take over his affairs, Zhao Dou didn't care, he just hoped that the family could restore his previous happiness, and although Zhao Dou had not shown it, she had always hoped to see the sister who grew up with her again。

"Master, the eldest lady is back!" Zhao Jianguo was about to go back to the study to read the book after eating, and the housekeeper rushed in quickly and said to Zhao Jianguo excitedly.

Over the years, the driver, nanny, housekeeper and maid Zhao Jianguo have not changed any of them, just because they are afraid that Zhao Shengnan will come back and the newcomer will not know, just now Zhao Shengnan pulled the suitcase and walked to the door, and the servant at the door opened the door directly before he could speak, Zhao Shengnan also grew up watching them, although they haven't seen each other for so many years, but they will definitely recognize Zhao Shengnan as soon as he appears.

Hearing the housekeeper's words, Zhao Jianguo's head was a little stunned, and he couldn't react until Zhao Shengnan appeared at the door of the hall, Zhao Jianguo couldn't control his heartbeat, and walked over with a slight tremble, looking at his daughter who had not seen him for nearly ten years, Zhao Jianguo still couldn't control his tears.

He Min held Zhao Dou's hand tightly, tears slipped out of the corners of his eyes, and the servants at home were also very excited, not only did Zhao Jianguo miss his daughter over the years, but they also missed the beautiful, kind and lively eldest lady.

Looking at the father in front of him, Zhao Shengnan was also stunned, the father in front of him was no longer what he remembered, his face was a little haggard, the wrinkles on his face were deep, and even his body shape was a little clumsy, compared with the father in his impression, his current father was really old, and he didn't think about how to face his father at first, but at this moment, looking at the man in front of him so sad, Zhao Shengnan felt inexplicably guilty.

Zhao Jianguo shouted in a cautious trembling voice: "Hello." ”

Zhao Shengnan nodded, looking at Zhao Jianguo in front of him, Zhao Shengnan pursed his lower lip and said, "Dad, I want to rest." ”

Zhao Shengnan's father, Zhao Jianguo didn't know how many years he had been waiting, so he hurriedly took Zhao Shengnan's box from the servant and led Zhao Shengnan back to her room.

When Zhao Shengnan passed by He Min and Zhao Dou, he stopped, nodded at the two and said, "Auntie, Doudou, I'll go back to the room to rest first." ”

He Min nodded straightly, and Zhao Dou responded in a low voice: "See you tomorrow." Sister.. ”

Maybe he was really tired, and when he returned to his room and lay on the previous bed, Zhao Shengnan quickly fell asleep.

Zhao Jianguo was still very excited sitting on the sofa in the hall, feeling that he was just dreaming, He Min held Zhao Jianguo's hand and comforted him, Zhao Dou saw the long-lost smile on the faces of his parents, and he was also very happy at the moment.

After Zhao Jianguo and He Min returned to the room, Zhao Dou lay on the sofa and told Liu Zhiyu about it on WeChat.

Ten minutes later, Liu Zhiyu appeared at Zhao Dou's house, looking at Liu Zhiyu with an excited face, Zhao Dou was very puzzled.

"Brother Zhiyu, why are you coming to my house so late?" Zhao Dou asked with an eyebrow.

"Where's your sister?" Liu Zhiyu searched for Zhao Shengnan's figure in the living room.

"My sister went to sleep, what's the matter, are you looking for her?" Zhao Dou looked at Liu Zhiyu very unfriendly.

Hearing that Zhao Shengnan was resting, Liu Zhiyu nodded, thought for a while and said, "Then I'll come over tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Shengnan came back Liu Zhiyu was happy in his heart, and when he left, he looked at Zhao Dou with a bitter face and said: "Your intelligence is very important, next time I will take you to eat delicious food, haha." After saying that, he left with a smile.

After Liu Zhiyu left, Zhao Dou had a grudge on his face, judging from Liu Zhiyu's performance just now, Zhao Dou knew that he must like his sister, and said secretly: This stinky Zhiyu is really hidden deep enough, and he ran to my house if he had nothing to do all these years, it turned out that this was the reason. Zhao Dou also thought that Liu Zhiyu was for other reasons...

Zhao Dou is indeed very beautiful and in good shape, after Zhao Shengnan left home, Zhao Dou is still a little confident in his appearance, after Zhao Shengnan came back, the brief meeting just now made Zhao Dou's confidence disappear in an instant. The angry Zhao Dou cursed Liu Zhiyu countless times in his heart.

After Wang Li's death, Li Mingqing had no worries and sustenance, and began to live a stop-and-go life again.

A year later, in the summer of 2019, Li Mingqing returned to City C to participate in the ten-year class reunion organized by high school classmates, Wang Li is also one of the initiators, Li Mingqing promised her to participate before Wang Li's death, and now he has fulfilled his promise to Wang Li.

There were a lot of people who participated in this class reunion, and in a group of three or five former high school teachers, they talked to each other about their experiences over the years, recalling the school life at the beginning and sighing a few words from time to time, but they didn't know that the hierarchical divisions in everyone's society had been reflected in the class.

Li Mingqing casually found a group of people in the back row, moved a stool to sit next to him, and pretended to be very serious to listen to their conversation, Li Mingqing did not see Zhang Li's figure, and his name was not mentioned.

Li Mingqing secretly went to Zhang Li's hometown, Zhang Li got married in his hometown, and ran a clothing store with his wife, and Zhang Li's wife already had a big belly when Li Mingqing went.

Zhao Shengnan also participated in this class reunion, her speech and demeanor attracted the attention of the people in each small group, Zhao Shengnan became the highest level person in the hearts of everyone here, but there were only one or two people standing beside her, some people with courage or self-confidence, at most, went up to force a few polite words with her, and then pretended to be very chic and left, turned around and returned to their own group, and was proud of the picture just now, of course, compared to those who only dared to watch from a distance, they were indeed very good.

One of the people next to Li Mingqing suddenly mentioned Xia Mo's name, saying that Xia Mo has now opened a small bar, and when he heard Xia Mo's name, the crowd suddenly had a warm reaction, Xia Mo's appearance and noble and elegant temperament are not inferior to anyone, and she is still the goddess in the hearts of many people present.

Li Mingqing's heart was also tense when he heard Xia Mo's name, and a lot of past events unconsciously appeared in his mind.

After the school party, the people who participated in the class reunion rushed to the next venue one after another, and the itinerary of the class reunion had been arranged before, and after leaving the school, it was to go to the predetermined hotel for dinner, and then there were a series of arrangements such as bar KTV in the evening.

Li Mingqing was not ready to participate in the following activities, and slowly walked away from this group of classmates, and after the other students in the teacher left, Li Mingqing sat in the previous position alone.

After Li Mingqing walked out of the classroom, he saw Zhao Shengnan standing at the top of the stairs, the two looked at each other and smiled at each other, Zhao Shengnan took out an invitation card from his bag, handed it to Li Mingqing and said: "Do you think this invitation can't be sent?" No, I got married on the 15th. ”

After Li Mingqing took the invitation, he looked at Zhao Shengnan seriously, but Zhao Shengnan didn't dare to look at Li Mingqing at the moment, squeezed out a smile and looked at the corner of Li Mingqing's clothes and said, "I still have something, so be it." ”

Li Mingqing didn't stay, watched Zhao Shengnan disappear from his field of vision, and then put away the invitation and went downstairs to leave the school.
