Chapter 179: Visiting Beijing
"He Ling..."
"Wait!"
"Listen to me. ”
"No, I suddenly remembered that there was something else going on in the company, so I'll leave first and come back to you. ”
He Ling turned around to go out, Chen Haodong clasped his hands on the cardboard box, raised his voice a little and shouted: "Can you not run away every time?"
He Ling, who was already about to walk to the door, was suddenly held back.
Chen Haodong bowed his head.
"We're still..."
"Say no more!"
"We'll forget it......"
"I'm telling you to stop talking!" He Ling turned around and yelled at him, but his eyes were already red.
Chen Haodong clenched his fists in vain, he admitted that he was despicable and admitted that he was a beast, but there were some things that could not be delayed any longer, and any further delay would only make her hurt more.
"He Ling, let's forget it!"
A few simple words, he has been on his lips for more than half a year, but he is always cut off by her when he is about to blurt out repeatedly.
Today may not be the right time, even the occasion is not right, but forget it, in fact, everyone knows that saying it at any time and on any occasion will be the same ending.
He Ling stood there in a daze and didn't move, behind him was a huge construction site, all kinds of dingling sounds rushed over with the rolling heatwave, but the room was fully air-conditioned, and she felt as if she was at a junction, half cold, half hot.
Seeing that she didn't move, Chen Haodong raised his hand to rub his face, and walked over with a cardboard box in both hands.
"You can call me a bastard, you can call me a brute, but everyone knows it. ”
Since He Ling's miscarriage, they have not shared a bed again, and it has been more than half a year, if there is no problem, who will believe it?
"Actually, I should have made it clear to you earlier, but I'm sorry that there have been too many things lately, and it's been delaying until now. ”
He didn't give much other reason, he simply stated the facts.
He Ling was still standing there.
Chen Haodong grinded his teeth, and said everything, it was boring to be so stiff.
"Are you leaving? I need to get my things back first. ”
He Ling looked away with difficulty and fell on him.
He still likes to wear the simplest T-shirt, pure black, without any pattern decoration on it, but it looks like he is strong and tall.
Chen Haodong saw that she didn't react, so he didn't wait, and went out with a suitcase.
The sun was scorching outside, he walked all the way to the parking lot, put the box in the trunk, turned around, and He Ling stood straight behind.
"Did you drive?" he asked, half-squinting.
He Ling did not squeak.
He swept around, but didn't see her swaggering sports car.
"How did you get here?"
He Ling still didn't speak.
Chen Haodong patted the dust on his hands and took out the car keys.
"Get in the car, I'll send you first. ”
He turned to open the door, his body suddenly slammed forward, and He Ling rushed up from behind and hugged his waist.
Chen Haodong's body stiffened, and he didn't expect He Ling to suddenly make this move.
"He Ling..."
"I'm not breaking up!"
"You let go first. ”
"No, I won't loosen up, and I won't break up!" she wrapped her face tightly and pressed her face against Chen Haodong's waist.
At noon on a hot day, just after lunch on the construction site, migrant workers looking for a place to cool off came over, laughing maliciously when they saw this, and some even whistled at them.
"Brother Dong, what are you doing here?"
"Yo yo yo, in broad daylight, can you change places?"
Everyone joked in a few words, but they didn't notice that Chen Haodong's face was extremely ugly.
When the wave of people passed, Chen Haodong tore the arm on his waist away, turned around and looked at He Ling coldly: "Are you so interesting?"
He Ling's face was tense, and his eyes were hazy with tears: "It's boring, but what can I do?"
"Is there anything I haven't said clearly?"
"No, you don't need to say that I know everything, but I also say this, I won't break up with you, I will never break up with you!" He Ling made a gesture and wanted to hug him again, like a coquettish and entangled child.
Chen Haodong held people with both hands, and people kept passing by, staring at them like watching a play.
Chen Haodong hates this kind of nonsense the most.
"He Ling, He Ling..."He clasped He Ling's wrists on both sides, "Can you be sober, there is no feeling between me and you anymore, and it will be unfair to you to drag it out any longer, so can you get together and disperse?"
"Can't, can't!"
"Why not?"
"I like you, I love you so much, I can't imagine what I will do after leaving you! And you think about how I have treated you all these years, even if you are in it, I have waited, I have waited for two years, I have also conceived a child for you, although the child is gone, but we are originally going to get married..."
A light breeze blew in the distance, but it was useless to hit the hot and sticky face.
hugged her for a while, and when her mood stabilized a little, Chen Haodong patted her on the back, "It's okay, let's go." ”
He doesn't coax people, and he never talks sweetly.
When I was good to you, I nodded if you wanted, but now I want to break up, without any foreshadowing and embellishment, to justify myself, and simply explain things clearly, leaving no room for it.
He Ling didn't understand his personality, they had been together for so long, and they liked him at the beginning, but now they have to bear the pain caused by this character.
She finally let go, after all, in public, she was surrounded by migrant workers watching jokes.
"Do you need me to send you?"
"No!"
"Then I'll go first, and I'll contact you if I have something. ”
"Wait!"
Chen Haodong turned around again.
He Ling sniffed, his temper was troubled, and his face was open-minded, now that he is slowly calming down, he should always say something serious.
"Even if you're going to break up with me, why do you have to quit?"
Chen Haodong paused.
"Your ability is obvious to all, it's not up to you to decide whether you can do it or not, I won't approve the resignation application, if you think that the matter between us will affect the mood of the work, yes, I will allow you to take a vacation for a while, but I will not allow you to resign!"
“……”
……
It took several days for Lawyer Zhang to call Chang An.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Zhou, it took so long to give you an answer. ”
"It's okay, Lawyer Zhang, I'm going to trouble you!"
"Where, you're too polite. ”
The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and then cut to the chase, "According to what you asked on the phone yesterday, I have asked a friend in Beijing to inquire clearly, and now that Sun Zhengdao has entered the prison term, it stands to reason that relatives can visit him routinely, but it is between the relationship between you and Sun Zhengdao..."
Chang An's relationship with him is not known to the outside world, so in the eyes of the lawyer, the two of them are not even friends.
"You mean, I can't visit, do you?"
"No, there shouldn't be a big problem in this regard, a friend over there in Beijing will help you with it, but the monthly visit time is fixed, and the communication should be this Friday, you can arrange the trip, if you have time, I will send you my friend's contact information, and you can contact directly." ”
Five minutes later, Chang An received a text message from lawyer Zhang, and she dialed the phone according to the number on it.
The other party's surname is Zhu, she is a lady, and she should also be a staff member in the judiciary, but she did not reveal any specific identity.
Chang An temporarily called her Miss Zhu on the phone, and the two communicated briefly and made an appointment for a specific time and place to meet.
The next morning, Chang An arrived in Beijing smoothly, and walked out of the terminal alone with his suitcase, and the hot air of Beijing came from the shop.
Wait in line and get on the bus.
"Miss, where are you going?"
Chang An put away his mobile phone, "Beijing Hotel." ”
The hotel was booked online one night in advance, and she originally wanted to choose other places, but she had no concept of direction, and this time she went to Beijing alone, and intellectually felt that she should choose a place that she was relatively familiar with.
In just one year, she has lived in the Beijing Hotel twice, and she is familiar with the surrounding environment, so she finally booked the room there, but now it is not what it used to be, she does not have such a big means to live in a suite, and she booked an ordinary single room, and a night plus a discount coupon also depends on a thousand, this price is now considered a luxury for her.
Chang An arrived at the hotel, checked in, went upstairs, looked around the whole room, in the end it was not as spacious and comfortable as the suite, probably took advantage of an old hotel and geographical location, after all, Chang'an Street is expensive, only about 1,000 room fees a night, Chang An thinks about a little painful.
She simply cleaned up, it was already past noon, standing at the window looking at the scorching sun outside, and she didn't want to go downstairs to forage for food, only opened a bag of biscuits to fill her stomach, and then took a bath, faded away from the fatigue of the journey, changed into pajamas and collapsed on the bed.
Tomorrow is Friday, Chang An called Ms. Zhu to re-communicate, and made an appointment to meet the next morning, and Chang An lay on the bed after all the arrangements were made.
Strange rooms, strange cities, even strange air.
She knew that she would come sooner or later, as Chang Wangde said, she would not have regrets when she met Sun Zhengdao, but she didn't expect to come to visit so soon, everything was outside her plan, and the reason why she decided to be in such a hurry, and even booked a ticket to fly over in a flash, was just because she didn't want to stay in Yunling.
In the past half a month, she has been eating, sleeping, painting, and everything is as usual, but God knows what she feels in her heart.
Chang An counted the days on the calendar on his mobile phone, and today it was exactly seventy-seven twenty-one days.
She didn't wait for a text message, a phone call, or even a word, but she knew that the wait had exhausted all her patience.
Chang An has a terrible habit, Chang Jiahui once summarized for her before: "You can cry, make trouble, and be angry, which means that this is not a big deal, you didn't go to your heart at all, but one day you don't make a sound or speak, which means that you have made up your mind in your heart, and there is no room for maneuver." ”
Chang An deleted that person's WeChat, added his number to the blacklist, and everything was cleaned up, and she silently exhaled at the ceiling.
That sleep was surprisingly peaceful, it should have been the best sleep in the past half a month, only to wake up and find that it was already dark outside the window.
Chang An touched his mobile phone, around five o'clock in the afternoon, why did it get dark so early in the summer? Then he heard the sound of rain outside, it turned out to be raining.
Chang An got up, dizzy and swollen, swallowed his breath, his throat hurt like a knife, and looked up at the air outlet with the cold air being blowing, damn it, I'm afraid that the cold wind was frozen for a long time without a quilt.
I have to go to the suburbs tomorrow, Chang An felt that it was still necessary to buy a box of medicine to eat, so he had to change his clothes and go out.
It was raining heavily outside, Chang An asked the hotel to borrow an umbrella, and after looking for a long time, he finally found a pharmacy and bought a box of anti-inflammatory drugs and cold medicines, but he was still lost when he walked back.
Maybe it's used to it, she has a bad sense of direction since she was a child, so she is not in a hurry, first casually found a restaurant to solve the dinner, and then asked for directions to the hotel a little bit, arrived at the hotel was already by eight o'clock, Chang'an was drenched by the rain all over the body, and returned the umbrella at the front desk and walked to the elevator.
"Mr. Xu, please first..." Chang An heard someone shouting, and subconsciously looked up, only to see about three or four men in suits and leather shoes in front of him enter the elevator together, and one of them looked very familiar.
Mr. Xu, Assistant Xu?
The thought immediately crossed her mind, but she quickly denied it.
The surname Xu is a big surname, not to mention how can there be such a coincidence.
Chang An wiped the water stains on his face, hurriedly entered another elevator, rushed back to the room and quickly took off his clothes and rinsed, the hot water brushed the skin, and instantly opened the pores, so irritated that he almost screamed.
It's a pity that taking medicine and taking a hot shower doesn't work, and when I get up the next morning, not only my throat hurts, my head hurts, and I can't feel strong.
Chang An changed his clothes strongly, and his face in front of the mirror was white, how could he go out to meet people with this appearance?
Breakfast is included in the hotel room rate.
Chang An went in and walked around, he had no appetite, he forced himself to eat a slice of bread and a small half cup of milk, and just walked out of the restaurant, he received a call from Ms. Zhu, informing him that he was already waiting in the lobby.
Chang An hurried out and saw a woman in a black suit standing next to the sofa.
"Hello, are you Ms. Zhu?"
The woman turned around and smiled, "Mrs. Zhou?"
After a brief greeting and introduction, Ms. Zhu took Chang An out.
She came by car, the car was parked at the door of the hotel, the two got in the car, the car drove on the right road, the crowd on Chang'an Street on Friday morning, plus it was the morning rush hour for work, and it was still raining in the sky, and the car was blocked in the middle of the road not far away.
"I'm so sorry you came to pick me up. Chang An felt a little uncomfortable.
Ms. Zhu smiled: "Don't worry, I just had a little time in the morning, and it's a long way to take a taxi from you, and I'm also on the way, but I didn't expect you to be so young, when Lao Zhang looked for me before, he was a Mrs. Zhou, and he thought he was about the same age as me." ”
Chang An was a little embarrassed.
After blocking Chang'an Avenue, it was much smoother, and an hour and a half later I arrived at the gate of the prison, and there were prison guards waiting at the door, probably because of Ms. Zhu's relationship.
The two communicated briefly.
Prison guard: "It's all taken care of inside, take her to go through the formalities first." ”
Because of an acquaintance leading the way, everything went well.
Chang An handed over the ID card and other materials he had prepared in advance to the police officer in charge of the meeting for review and signing, and the formalities were completed quickly, and another prison guard came in about 10 minutes later.
"You can take her there. ”
Chang An stood up with the tabletop, and the soles of his feet suddenly softened.
