107. Invitations

Soon, the invitation card for our wedding came out, and when Lin Rongshen's assistant came to my house to discuss the invitation list with me, I was really embarrassed, in fact, there are really few relatives on our side, and the reason is naturally because my mother has long been rooted with the relatives at home, and after my grandmother passed away for many years, she has lost contact with her mother's family.

Since there is no one on my mother's side to invite, there must be a few friends on my side who want to be invited, so the question is, is Zhan Dong invited?

I always thought that I should be friends after my divorce from Zhan Dong, if it was a friend, I would not invite him to get married, it would be a little uninteresting, if I did, would Lin Rongshen mind?

That's what worries me the most.

So I struggled with this matter for a long time, and finally sent a message to Lin Rongshen to ask for his opinion.

Lin Rongshen's reply to me was that he wouldn't mind, depending on what I meant.

I finally thought about it and decided to invite, although Zhan Dong didn't invite me when he got married, then another question arises, should I send this invitation or find someone to send it?

I thought about it, let's find someone to deliver it.

This problem was solved, and the list of invitations was quickly completed, only one of the invitations was sent by myself, and the rest were handled by Lin Rongshen's assistant for me.

As soon as Lin Rongshen's assistant left, I made a phone call to Zhang Xiaoya, and after the phone rang, she hung up, I knew early on that it would be such a result, and I didn't feel any surprise at all, I turned to Zhang Ze to make a call, and this time the call was quickly answered.

Zhang Ze fed on the phone.

I immediately spoke: "Zhang, I'm Lailai." ”

As soon as Zhang Ze heard that it was me, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to the bride-to-be." ”

It seems that he also knows that I am going to get married, he is Lin Rongshen's classmate and friend, so he naturally knows, so I asked him straight to the point on the phone where Zhang Xiaoya is now.

Zhang Ze said: "She's at home, do you want to come?"

I said, "Yes, I'm coming." ”

Zhang Ze said: "Okay, she wants to go out now, but I will keep her for you." ”

Zhang Ze also seemed to know that I had a quarrel with Zhang Xiaoya, and after I said thank you, I went to Zhang Xiaoya with the gifts and invitations in my hand.

When I arrived at Zhang Ze's house, Zhang Xiaoya sat on the sofa expressionlessly, and Zhang Ze took out two cups of warm water from the kitchen and glanced at Zhang Xiaoya, and then gave me a look.

Sure enough, in the next second, Zhang Xiaoya said in a displeased tone: "Yo, I said who came, it turned out that Mrs. Lin was here, did I miss the distance." ”

I knew that Zhang Xiaoya was still thinking about the past, so I pretended that nothing happened, sat opposite her and said, "As a best friend, I naturally came today to find you with something important." ”

Zhang Xiaoya hugged each other's chests with her hands, didn't even look at me, and sneered: "I don't dare to be, I made it very clear that day, I, Zhang Xiaoya, and Mrs. Lin are no longer friends." ”

Zhang Ze heard Zhang Xiaoya's words so desperate, so he interjected on the side and said: "I've been friends for so many years, you should forget about the awkwardness that has been making trouble for so long, right?"

Zhang Xiaoya sneered and said: "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you, if you feel sorry for her, then you will divorce me." ”

Seeing that Zhang Ze's face changed, I immediately spoke: "Zhang Ze, I'll send something and leave today, don't quarrel with Xiaoya, we have been friends for so many years, I know her better than you." ”

Zhang Xiaoya listened, and said, "I really don't dare to be, my mother is not as confident as Mrs. Lin to say that she understands me." ”

I ignored her cynicism, because I know what kind of person Zhang Xiaoya is, the more you deal with her, the more energetic she becomes, and now it seems that her anger has not subsided, no matter how much I say, it is in vain, so I can only take out an invitation from my bag and put it on the coffee table and say: "This is my wedding invitation, Xiaoya, No. 8, I lack a bridesmaid." ”

I didn't need to say much about it, she understood it herself, and I put a gift box on the table and said, "I wish you a happy birthday in advance." ”

After saying this, he got up from the sofa and said to Zhang Ze: "I have other things, so don't bother for now." ”

Zhang Ze left me to eat, and I politely refused, and Zhang Xiaoya just sat on the sofa from beginning to end without even moving.

But I knew she would come on my wedding day.

After I came back from Zhang Xiaoya's house, I just wanted to stop a car to go home, but when I walked to the intersection, the mobile phone rang, I looked down and saw that it was a strange call, I didn't think much about it, I pressed the answer button directly, and the person on the other end of the phone directly reported his name and said: "It's me, Zhan Dong." ”

I wondered why Zhan Dong suddenly called me, and I asked with some uncertainty, "Is there something?"

Zhan Dong said, "I received your invitation. ”

I was a little surprised and said, "So fast?"

Zhan Dong said in a serious tone: "I just received it." ”

I said, "Oh, what's the problem?"

Zhan Dong said, "Do you have time?"

I said, "What's the matter?"

Zhan Dong said, "I want to talk to you. ”

I thought about it, and it happened that I was fine, so I said a good word, and Zhan Dong directly reported an address.

When I arrived at the agreed position and sat down, Zhan Dong looked at my upright belly, his expression changed slightly, I didn't care, but asked directly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Zhan Dong said: "Do you really want to marry Lin Rongshen?"

I said, "Or else?"

Zhan Dong said: "You can think clearly. ”

I said, "I've got a lot of things in mind. ”

Zhan Dong didn't hesitate to answer his question when he saw me, and he said with a wry smile on his face: "You really still love him, that's why you can't wait to marry him, and when you married me, you weren't so willing." ”

What I'm most afraid of is that Zhan Dong always talks about the past, and I, a person, don't want to recall the past and don't want to mention it, I said: "Zhan Dong, we are over, I just want to forget the previous things, people always have to look forward, don't they?"

Zhan Dong sneered and said: "Did your previous life really make you so disgusting? Now I don't even want to think about it, Charlailai, I, Zhan Dong, am honest with my heart, and there is nothing to be sorry for you." ”

I didn't expect Zhan Dong to still be obsessed with the past, I explained: "It's not that I don't want to remember the past because of you, but Zhan Dong, since we are divorced, we still remember what we used to do?"

He said, "Don't you have any nostalgia for me? After the divorce, you never thought about me?"

I reminded him, "Zhan Dong, you are married, you have a wife and children, I think these words are no longer appropriate to say now.

Zhan Dong seemed disappointed when he saw me say these words, and he said, "This is where I am not reconciled, you know? Even if I remarry now, I don't know why, I still remember when we were together before, although the two of them had nothing to say, but at least they were husband and wife, I could see you every day after work, but after the divorce, I found that the home was so empty, more empty than before, sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night, I thought that the person lying next to me was still you, after turning on the light, I went to see a completely unfamiliar face, do you know what my mood is?"

I didn't expect Zhan Dong to say these words to me, such words make people feel sensitive, as if something will explode if they accidentally touch it.

So I kept silent, turning my face to the side.

But this did not affect Zhan Dong in the slightest, he continued: "Lailai, do you know? I thought I didn't love you for so many years, but after the divorce, I realized how much I missed you, and I couldn't accept life without you at all, you know?"

Zhan Dong suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "What would you think if I said we were back together?"

I said, "Let it go." ”

Zhan Dong didn't let it go, but said a little excitedly: "Lailai, I can't accept that one day you will really marry him." ”

I continued to say with a blank face, "Let go." ”

But Zhan Dong intensified his efforts and grabbed my hand directly, he said: "I can give up everything for you, as long as we can still be together." ”

I picked up a glass of cold water on the table with my backhand and poured it directly at Zhan Dong, and Zhan Dong's face was instantly pounced on by the cold water, which caused the onlookers around him.

I said with a blank face, "Do you know what you're talking about? Zhan Dong, do you think the two of us can still be the same as before? Do you think you can be with me if you can't forget me? Do you know who you are now? You are now a father, first of all, when you say these words, please think about your children, and then think about your current wife, and then you think about whether your words just now are suitable for a mature man's mouth, and now I am a mother, although the child has not been born, but I think he should not want to hear what you just said, since no one wants to hear it, I want you to take it back, I will treat it as if I have never heard it, we can still be friends. ”

Zhan Dong seemed to be woken up by my glass of water, he didn't move for a long time, he kept looking at me in that posture, looked at me for a long time, his hand finally slowly withdrew from my hand, and then wiped the cold liquid on his face with his hand, he didn't say anything about what I just said, but directly picked up the briefcase on the side, he took out a brown paper bag from the bag and put it on the table, he said: " This is my wedding gift for you, I won't go to your wedding, I don't want to take back what I said just now, you accept it, it doesn't matter, anyway, I've already said it.

I just don't want to leave myself with regrets.

Besides, I never thought we would be friends, and I used to be, and I am, and I will be even more in the future, Charelle, we can't be friends at all, and the best way is to never see each other again. ”

When he had said this, he did not look at me again, but turned and left the place.

I was left stunned by the cowhide bag he left on the table, and after a long time, a waiter came over with a rag and asked me if I wanted to wipe the table.

I realized that my glass of water had been spilled just now, and the table was all wet, and the small plate of pastries was full of water, and it took me a long time to say, "Okay, by the way." ”

After the waiter got my permission, he picked up the leather bag on the table and handed it to me and said, "Please put your things away." ”

It took me a long time to take the leather bag from the waiter, and as the waiter finished wiping the table, I slowly opened the leather bag, which contained a bank card and some gold jewelry.

The silver card is about gift money, and these gold objects were bought for me when I married Zhan Dong, at that time he was still a poor boy, and he didn't have any money when he married me, and the wedding banquet was still subsidized by my family, but he used his only deposit to buy a set of gold jewelry in the mall.

He said that there is a custom in their hometown that before getting married, the man must be willing to buy these gold objects for the woman, so that he can be qualified and have the sincerity to marry the woman.

He said: "Lailai, although I can only buy you these now, but you give me time, give me five years, and in five years, I will definitely be able to get ahead, give you better things, a better life, and I will let you understand my sincerity." ”

Yes, in five years, he has indeed come out as he swore at the beginning, and he has a greater ability to give me better things, but who knows that in five years, our marriage will end?

When we divorced, I deliberately didn't take these things, but I didn't expect them to end up in my hands.
