Chapter XVIII
At nine o'clock in the evening, Mengzhen and An Xiran walked down the street together, both of them had something to say, but neither of them spoke, as if they didn't want to destroy the temporary peace.
Finally, An Xiran couldn't help it, turned around and stood in front of Meng Zhen and asked, "Do you say they will still have conflicts in the future?"
"You haven't been silent for a long time, don't you just want to ask this!"
"What about you, don't you have something to say?"
"I thought, why didn't you cry just now? After all, you are also a person who has had an emotional experience, and there will always be some fluctuations in your heart when you witness such a thing. β
An Xiran shook his hair very chic and replied with a smile: "Can't I be strong? Why didn't you cry because you haven't experienced it?"
"Whoever said that, I cried, but not for them. β
"Where are you crying, your eyes are not red, don't pretend to be hee-hee. β
At this time, a gust of wind blew, blowing An Xiran's bangs out of order, Mengzhen subconsciously reached out to arrange her hair, and the moment they touched the hair, the two froze as if time stood still.
I don't know how long it took, An Xiran swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned around and blushed suddenly,
"Hey, didn't you just touch your hair, are you so angry?" Mengzhen asked with a smile.
"Not angry. An Xiran replied playfully, "By the way, the bride transferred the remuneration to me on WeChat and gave me five thousand." β
"Huh!" he replied incredulously, "It's so interesting, just doing such a favor and giving so much, now I feel that Old Man Guo's charges are less." β
An Xiran suddenly changed his mood, and asked with a pout: "But this is only 5,000, which is too much worse than 200,000." β
"Don't compare with 200,000, compare with today, use a day to understand the situation and solve problems, earn 5,000, I really don't dare to think about it in the past, in short, I still want to thank you, without your friend who opened a wedding dress shop, it is estimated that it will not be so smooth, I didn't expect to need your help now." Mengzhen lowered his head and said.
"Where, didn't he already say it downstairs at the time, even if he didn't come out like this at the end, he had already returned to the family, this time you really solved this problem perfectly on your own, do you want to celebrate again?"
"Forget it, don't go to any hotel like last time, otherwise 200,000 will become 400,000. Mengzhen sneered.
"What do you mean, what do you think of me, give you two slaps to reorganize your language, or Miss Ben will get you drunk again. She replied happily.
"Oh, it's just kidding, yes. He suddenly became serious and said, "Have you tested it with a stick, even the safety period is not absolute, is it?"
"Oh, why can't you dwell on it, you said that it's definitely okay, it's definitely okay, and the hotel thing is not there. β
"Damn, how many young people will you have to trick into going to the wrong room with you in the future, no, no, I want to stay away from you. After saying that, Mengzhen ran away with a smile.
An Xiran chased happily behind, and the laughter of the two also added a bit of vitality to this calm night.
In the morning, Mengzhen yawned and pushed away the people of the Dream House. I watched a night movie with An Xiran last night, and when I returned home, it was already half past one in the morning, and this was also the first time he watched a movie with a girl, and he couldn't guess what An Xiran meant in the process, and the horror scenes that appeared also made him have no energy to "take care" of An Xiran. It's just that what he didn't expect was that An Xiran was not too allergic to horror movies, except for a few slightly deep breaths, there were no extra actions.
"What does this An Xiran mean?" he said to himself as he tidied up the room, "Invite me to watch a horror movie, and don't stick it in my arms, you are more daring than me, and you deliberately scare me so that I can't sleep well?"
"Where do you want to go?" An Xiran suddenly appeared at the door and said with a smile.
"Holy!" he said with a look of horror, "I just arrived, when did you come?"
She walked into the house very indifferently, then leaned back on the table and said, "What's the matter, I can't sleep well after watching a horror movie?"
Mengzhen smiled helplessly and replied: "It's not like that, you have seen this movie once, otherwise it is so calm, I am afraid of the more courageous, how can you not have anything at all." β
"Don't think of girls as too cowardly, you haven't heard a word, if women have the strength and logic of men, then this society will be a matriarchal clan. β
"That's what you say?" Yumejin scratched her ears.
An Xiran replied disappreciatively: "It's similar, anyway, this society is still very fair, you men don't complain about this and that." β
Hearing this, Mengzhen walked up to An Xiran and gently touched her forehead with two fingers, "You're not sick, you had a nightmare last night? These words are not your lines." β
"What's the line?"
"It's weird in the morning. Meng Zhen pouted as he walked into the bathroom.
"By the way, there's a gossip message for you, do you want to hear it?"
Not long after, Meng Zhen lifted his pants and walked out of the bathroom and asked, "What gossip news?"
"Your high school classmate named Nuo Xi, do you know what the dinner was like that day?"
"Don't hide it, just say it all in one go. β
An Xiran also propped her hands on the table, raised her head and replied: "She was drugged, not to serve other bosses, but to give him a godfather." β
"Huh?" Mengzhen's face was full of doubts, and his facial features were about to squeeze together.
"That's right, you heard it right, it's to serve her godfather, I can't imagine it, they didn't set up this dinner for a long time for their own use. With that, she lowered her head again.
"No, Nuo Xi and her godfather haven't had that kind of thing before? that kind of thing in the hotel?"
An Xiran couldn't help laughing, but the smile was a little ugly, and then said: "You don't seem to be so sympathetic to Nuo Xi anymore, you couldn't wait to save her from the dinner before, and you've only gotten used to it for two days?"
"No, it's not. Mengzhen's tone aggravated, "I just don't understand, yes, those bosses who want to cooperate with Nuo Xi's godfather do need some handles, and I can also think that the handle is to get Nuo Xi's scandal, and then use it as a kind of coercion, but how could they think of letting Nuo Xi be her godfather... What's that?"
"You're really stupid, Nuo Xi had an accident, his godfather kicked it out, and then found another woman, you really think that your goddaughter will accompany her for a lifetime, if you follow what you said, then Nuo Xi's ending will be even more tragic than now. β
After listening to it, Mengzhen suddenly felt a little distressed again, although meeting with Nuo Xi before made him completely understand that the past Nuo Xi no longer exists, but now that he knows this, he feels that Nuo Xi is just living in heaven in the eyes of most people, but it is actually a purgatory that burns his body.
An Xiran continued: "It will definitely not break out on the news, but I estimate that Nuo Xi will no longer be able to raise his head within the vision of this class, and he will not dare to imagine Nuo Xi in the future." β
"It's incredible. Mengzhen shook his head and said.
"What incredible. β
"Nuo Xi's godfather's IQ is also touching enough, just this kind of obvious set can be on, how can he become a big boss? Could it be that he recognizes Nuo Xi's goddaughter to serve the enterprise?
"There will always be times when people let their guard down, and they can't even go to a nightclub and dress up as a waiter, right, how can they enjoy life?"
"Oh no, how do you know these things?" Meng Zhen suddenly thought.
"You don't have to worry about this, anyway, I'll come and tell you when I know it, at least I can be regarded as having an explanation for you. β
"Co-author, you came so early today to tell me this?" Yumema asked, squinting.
"I thought you cared about Nuo Xi a lot, huh!"
"She's no longer what she used to be, if she hadn't changed, I'd have helped her with anything, but now it's different, my good impression of her has all disappeared. β
An Xiran blinked his eyes twice quickly, and asked in a low voice, "Then if one day you also find out that I have changed, will you forget me?"
"You?" Mengzhen first pulled a long note, and then smiled: "Is there still room to become a person? I have witnessed almost all your various states in the past few days, and I am used to it if you change yourself again, after all, I can be so calm when I go to bed, I have long been mentally prepared to face you, haha." β
An Xiran sneered, then got up and walked to the door, looking at everything outside with a dull gaze, and her heart was also mixed, I don't know why, she suddenly thought of the ex-boyfriend who was still in prison, it had been so long, and she hadn't seen her face once, and suddenly remembered it, and her heart was very uncomfortable.
"What are you thinking?" asked Yumejin as she suddenly walked up to her.
"No, I didn't think about anything. β
"Don't fool me, I can see it, my eyes are blurred, my breathing is even, obviously I am thinking about things, it can't be looking at the surrounding buildings or vehicles, and it is a matter at home?"
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with that, so don't be curious. β
"My assistant has psychological problems, how can I turn a blind eye, otherwise it will affect the rest of the work and I won't be able to do it for a month. β
An Xiran sighed and replied helplessly: "The things in my heart have nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry about me." β
Mengzhen thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Do you miss your boyfriend?"
"No!" she replied reluctantly.
"Yo, I guessed it, but how could you hide it from your father if someone else was in prison, and he visited him. β
"I won't meet, he will never forgive me for the rest of his life, never for the rest of his life. β
Mengzhen pretended to be serious and said: "Oh, something has happened, there is no way to change it, if you are really still obsessed with him, it is better to go to his family, communicate with his family, maybe you can follow them to visit the prison, so that it is not easy for your father to find out." β
"Do you know how desperate his family cried when he was sentenced to 20 years? If I went to see his family, they would want to throw me in prison. β
"Don't say it so seriously, I can help you meet it, after all, my identity is very free, as long as I get to know your ex-boyfriend a little, you can get closer to his family, and you can entrust me with anything you want to say." After speaking, Mengzhen stood in front of him and looked at her very sincerely.
"No, I'll just assume he's forgotten about me. β
"Hey, you're ruthless enough to send people away like this?"
"Otherwise, what else can be done!" An Xiran suddenly yelled.
Mengzhen hugged her shoulders with both hands and said calmly: "It's better to follow what I said, just leave it to me, and if you solve this matter, you can work with peace of mind, don't think so much." β
An Xiran waved his hands, shook off Mengzhen's arm, and said a little unceremoniously: "You are really nosy." β
"How can this be called an idle matter? You always don't hesitate to help me when I have a problem, and now that you have a scar on your heart, can't I find a way to stitch up your wound?"
While arguing, a girl with heavy makeup and fashionable clothes stood at the door, and asked embarrassedly, "Excuse me, who is the person in charge of the Dream House." β
Meng Zhen immediately beckoned: "I am, I am, please come in." β
"Well, is it convenient now? I see you guys seem to be discussing something. After speaking, she pointed to An Xiran, who didn't reply.
"It's okay, it's the little things, the customer is the most important. With that, he stretched out his hand and invited her into the house.
An Xiran seemed to be still angry, and he didn't react when he saw the guests coming. Seeing this, Meng Zhen patted her arm lightly, trying to cheer her up.
She walked out of the house and said, "You get busy first, I'll go out for a while." β
Mengzhen wanted to stop her, but she didn't stop it when she was angry, so she didn't care.
"Who is she, she doesn't look like a customer. β
Mengzhen smiled and shook her head and said, "A friend of mine, I just talked about her sadness, and it was like this, but don't worry, it's good to be angry after a while, she is just very strange, and the topic she opened made herself angry, haha." β
"That's interesting. She smiled stiffly.
"What's your name?"
"Ah, my name is Lin Shan, and I am a college student. She said politely.
"Oh, then you must have some little dreams. β
"I can't say it's a dream, but it's something I want to solve at the moment, so it's a little dream. β
Meng Zhen immediately prepared an agreement and asked, "Working in a nightclub?"
"Huh? She pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.
"Ah, I didn't mean that, I just asked casually, where to work is different, I used to be a food delivery person, haha. β
"I just wanted to ask how much I could earn a month if I worked with you. β
"Huh?" Mengzhen was stunned, "What do you mean by part-time job?" β
"I'm working in a nightclub at night, it's a holiday soon, and I want to find more part-time jobs. β
"You're short of money?" Mengzhen asked, looking at Lin Shan.
"Thatβ" She suddenly looked very nervous, and she didn't say it for a long time.
"Don't be nervous, speak slowly. Mengzhen observed something unusual, so he calmly persuaded him.
