Chapter 22: The Old Days (1)

Chen An has been in the network of relationships woven for him by his parents since he was a child, and he learned to face different people and give different smiles very early.

At the age of twenty-three, he was dubbed a business wizard by the media, and it was that year that he put away his smile. Because, he has the strength to stop showing such hypocritical expressions for flattery.

He continued to strive to strengthen himself, hoping that one day collectivism would turn into liberalism and laugh only for himself.

But three years later, he met Zhao Dede, who was stupid in life and outstanding in work.

All his plans and steps were thrown into disarray.

He began to love eating because she was always sticking out her tongue and crying out that she was hungry, he began to dare not work too late because she was always waiting for him without complaint, and he began to look forward to the weekend because he was going to accompany her to eat all the marshmallows in Willow City.

Gradually, he didn't care so much about the plan. No matter how fast he planned, he couldn't keep up with the speed at which she made mistakes.

This life lasted less than a year before he was knocked to the ground by the heavy punch of reality.

It was then that he realized that the complex interests in the mall are like a spider's web, and if you make a rash move, you will attract hordes of predators to suck you dry.

In the face of fate, no matter how conceited and powerful a person is, he is just a drop in the ocean.

The leadership team of Liucheng was removed due to corruption, all the projects supported by the former government came to an abrupt halt, and the related enterprises were unlucky one after another, and Chenqi and Lu's were both in a predicament.

The two companies are upstream and downstream, and they naturally choose to be in the same boat. The old foxes in the mall hope to have a double insurance, and wonder how to make the relationship between the two families stronger.

In the end, they put the abacus on the marriage of the two sons and daughters.

Without Chen'an's knowledge, a city-wide engagement ceremony was quietly announced.

Faced with an uncertain future, he can only recruit from the truth: "Yes, have you seen the news in the newspaper?"

Of course, I saw it, not only did I see it, but I also went from being frightened to being discouraged. It's not that she doesn't understand Chen An's helplessness at all, but she doesn't have the mood to analyze and accept.

"Isn't Lu's daughter beautiful?"

"I have something to do," Chen An said with less certainty, and even his voice grew softer. "Can you wait for me?"

Wait?!

What are you waiting for?

Wait for the morning to wake up and come back to life, or...... Waiting for him to be famous again, divorced and married her? Or, waiting to be his mistress?

I hate my sobriety at the moment, and let her clearly say "wait" to her, which is unequal to her.

It's a terrible feeling to be toyed with by a rich kid!

"Let's break up. It was an impulsive decision she had made on the boundaries of reason. "Don't meet again in the future, leave me some dignity. ”

She didn't trust him so much!

"Can you let me say a few words?" Chen An said angrily.

"No need!" she was afraid that the explanation given by Chen An was not what she wanted, and she was even more afraid that Chen An's explanation could easily make her willing to become a third party.

Chen An closed his lips tightly, stopped speaking, and disappeared gloomily into the cold night.

Falling out of love and unemployed, she had no face to go home, and she had nowhere to go, so she wandered like duckweed with the crowd. The mechanical and stuttering steps under her feet matched her disgraced heart.

When I looked up again, I saw a building in front of me that could be exchanged for a place to live - a hotel.

"Open the room. ”

Anyway, as long as she stays on to Chen'an, someone will ask her to leave with a lot of money. Why doesn't she consume in advance and enjoy that in advance. "I wanted the best room. ”

"Girl, are you alright?" asked the old proprietress worriedly. And the girl in front of her stared at her chest, like a walking corpse, without saying a word.

Apparently another frustrated person, the proprietress took the room card and personally sent the customer to the room.

The proprietress adjusted the air conditioner and hot water, and took away glasses and other items that could be made into blunt objects. After a short pause in front of the door, I went back to the counter.

The soundproofing of the hotel was poor, and the noisy voices were blurred and blurred, overlapping with the rehearsal of his father's reproaches and the teasing of his colleagues.

She covered her ears and curled up into a ball, her dry eyes bursting with tears.

Suddenly, I felt a burning pain in my arm, and when I raised my hand, I saw that there was a thin wound on it, which was slowly overflowing with blood. It must have been scratched somewhere outside, but the thing that scratched her might have been too sharp, so that the pain was delayed, and the speed of seeing blood was delayed.

However, this is no different from heartache, the heavier the blow, the later the tears flow. I finally understood why she couldn't cry in front of Chen An just now.

The curtains turned from dark to light in color, and they were covered with the twinkles of stars.

No, the night has passed, and it's another morning light.

Uh, my mouth hurts!

Don't think about it, you must be crying until you are dehydrated and your lips are cracked.

Stick your tongue out of your sticky lips and lick your mouth. As soon as the tip of the tongue touches the upper lip, it is glued. Gently pulling back the tongue, the mouth on the lip was torn more painfully.

She rushed into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and poured a few sips of cool water.

I don't know if it's the smell of chlorine from the tap water, or the rancid smell on my body, which makes the water that just entered my stomach vomit out again.

She looked at her downcast self in the mirror and smiled. Then unscrew the water and take a transparent bath. Then tidy up your hair and clothes and let things go back to normal.

Only the eyes are still begging.

She...... Are you still looking forward to Chen An coming to her? But Chen An hasn't even made a phone call......

When I went out, I had to walk in front of a breakfast car, where the chengguan was waving a law enforcement stick to urge the woman in the dining car.

The woman trembled slightly, so anxious that she was about to cry, and pleaded: "Brother Chengguan, I know the time has come." In just two minutes, I finished doing it for these guests and left. ”

The chengguan bypassed the woman and went to drive away the other stalls first.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the chengguan walking away, a little boy about ten years old came out from behind the woman, hurriedly took a brush, applied sweet noodle sauce to the omelet, and then supported the bag to assist the woman in packing for customers.

"Okay, okay, you go to school quickly, Mom is too busy. The woman said as she pushed the boy.

"Mom, don't be angry, I'll leave. Step by step, the boy turned around and said, "Mom, we will send the results today, and I can still take the first test." Mom, can you sign for me at night before you go out?"

The woman looked down and smiled, but she couldn't find time to reply to her son right now.

The chengguan looked at his watch and came back, and the boredom on his face deepened again. He raised his baton and slammed it on the ground, the sound of which marked the scar on his arm with a terrible sound.

I had to get busy and learn the boy's movements, and help the woman sell breakfast.

After closing the stall, the woman pushed the cart into a hidden place and made her an omelet. "Thank you, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Take it, don't give me any money. ”

The woman didn't seem to have any intention of resting, and after handing her the quiche, she continued to concentrate on her work. When she had to sneak the money into her oily apron, she didn't even notice it.

The woman poured the money jar full of banknotes and coins into a plastic bag, her eyes empty, as if the race against time was not for the money at all.

But when she pushed the dining cart to her son's way to school, her eyes were immediately filled with happiness.

"Young man, I have to go, I'm going to the market to get the materials for the evening. ”

He nodded, said goodbye to her, and headed back to the hotel.

The proprietress in the hotel was full of spring breeze, and the corners of her mouth were raised high. That kind of demeanor really makes people suspect that the corners of her mouth can't be lowered anymore.

Suddenly, there was a cry of a child in the inner hall.

The proprietress tore open the diaper and said to her, "Girl, I'll come when I go." ”

It was clear that the proprietress wanted to care about her, but she was not in the mood to talk to others, so she stepped upstairs. But as soon as I walked a few steps, I was called back by the proprietress .

"Come here, girl. ”

The proprietress looked extremely excited, like she would be suffocated if she didn't talk to someone. "Girl, you can't look like this. Your parents are worried when they see it. Come, come in and sit. ”

I had to follow the proprietress into the counter, point to the extra baby in the proprietress and ask, "This is your child?"

"Yes, my precious daughter. I'm so lucky, it's hard to adopt a baby about a year old, and I've been in line for a long time. The proprietress pulled a chair and looked at the posture to have a long talk. After all, there was nothing to do, so I sat down.

"Broke up with your boyfriend?" The proprietress was very sure of her eyesight, and without waiting for a response, she continued: "Men are unreliable, children are eternal." When I was younger, there was no shortage of men, and not all of them were scattered. It took me so many years to figure out that I had to have a child. But at my age, where is there anyone who wants to have a child with me? I just bought a man to marry, and then I got a license first, or I was not qualified to adopt a child. ”

The proprietress stretched out her head and poked out, "Don't tell me, man, the only use is to give us a baby." In the future, I will guard my store and my baby daughter for the rest of my life, and it will be beautiful to think about. ”

The doorbell rang, the proprietress stood up and straightened her clothes: "Guests, you help me watch the children for a while, I'll be back soon." ”

The child didn't recognize life at all, and lay in her arms, pinching her face with his hands, and laughing so much that he drooled.

It is true that everyone is trying to live.

She also did not have the qualifications to learn from Lin Daiyu's sadness and sorrow, and to make bags of burial flowers with brocade. She wants to find a new pillar and change her life without Chen'an.
