Chapter 185: Venting
"Sorry, your call is not answered at the moment, please call again later, sorry......"
When the sweet unanswered prompt came from the phone for the first time, Qiao Mingjue shook his head a little weakly, and casually threw the phone on the floor beside him, making a clang.
The bean-sized raindrops crackled and knocked on the glass window, and the sound seemed to be knocking on Qiao Mingjue's heart.
Even if he has left the Yin family, even if he has nothing to do with anyone now, can't everyone even be friends?
The mobile phone screen on the floor is lit up, showing the interface of the call record, and every call on it clearly shows Lin Wenxuan's name, but none of the calls are connected.
The screen turned from bright to dark little by little, and the moment the screen went black, the room fell into darkness again.
Because of the rain, tonight's moonlight was blocked by thick dark clouds, and it was dark all around, but Qiao Mingjue refused to turn on the lights.
He just sat quietly on the floor, leaning on the wooden coffee table behind his back, and called Lin Wenxuan like crazy over and over again. In fact, he didn't know why he wanted to call her, but after so many things, he just wanted to hear her voice on this silent night when it was raining heavily.
It's a pity that she doesn't even want to meet his small wish.
Everything in the villa is brand new, and there is no lack of furniture, but Qiao Mingjue just feels that there is a place in his heart that is empty.
Such a big house, but without Yin Xinyan, why does it seem so empty and desolate?
Obviously, when Yin Xinyan was at home on weekdays, he felt extremely upset, and even felt disgusted by her repeated suspicions, but only at the moment of real loss could he understand what cherishing was.
Perhaps, this is the biggest shortcoming of human beings.
At this time, even if there is one person who can talk to him and let him forget these pains, it is just that who should that person be?
Lin Wenxuan didn't answer the phone, and Qiao Mingjue didn't have the courage to call Yin Xinyan, except for them, if you think about it carefully, the friends around him are gradually getting farther and farther away from him, and it seems that there is no one to accompany him to drink and gossip.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the fleeting light shone into the room through the floor-to-ceiling window, making Qiao Mingjue's face even paler.
He staggered to his feet, bent down to pick up the phone on the ground, picked up the thin jacket on the armrest of the sofa, hurriedly put it on, strode to the door, grabbed his wallet, car keys and umbrella, and went out distraught.
Perhaps because of the rain, the wind was very strong, and the umbrella was shaking in the wind and rain, and it didn't take long for Qiao Mingjue's body to be half wet.
But he didn't care, opened the door and got into the car, started the car, and headed in the direction of the Blue Charm Bar.
At night, Bihu City is brightly lit, but it is always exceptionally quiet, like a sleeping beauty, beautiful and tranquil. Only the bars hidden all over the city, with their neon lights flashing and bustling.
Parking the car in the underground parking lot, Qiao Mingjue took the elevator and arrived at the Blue Charm Bar.
The music in the bar is loud, and the colorful lampposts are constantly changing, shining on people's faces, which only makes people feel dazzled. The unknown girl on the stage is dancing bewitchingly, singing one song after another that has been played thousands of times in the streets, but the people below who drink and order songs are still enjoying themselves.
Bypassing the crowd of people dancing frantically at the disco, Qiao Mingjue sat at the bar and raised his hand to call the waiter.
"Bring me a glass of whiskey. ”
The waiter who received the order immediately diligently delivered a glass of whiskey to Qiao Mingjue, and then left to entertain the other guests.
Holding the glass firmly, somehow, Qiao Mingjue felt a slight coolness in his palm.
There was a faint sadness in the black pupils, the hand holding the glass gradually tightened, and the knuckles turned white, the force was so great that it made people feel that he could crush the glass in the next second.
A bitter smile overflowed on his lips, and he raised his head, Qiao Mingjue poured a whole glass of whiskey into his stomach without hesitation.
Two or three seats apart, Wang Mengqian turned his head to look at Qiao Mingjue and frowned slightly.
This person looks familiar, could it be that they have seen it somewhere?
But if it's someone he knows, he shouldn't even remember the other party's name, right?
Wang Mengqian didn't dare to say how good his memory was, but for the part of personal names, his memory was indeed much stronger than others. Sometimes, even if he has only met someone twice, he can naturally and affectionately call each other's names, like this kind of person who can't remember the name and feels very familiar, he really hasn't met a few.
After taking a sip of wine, Wang Mengqian looked at Qiao Mingjue steadily, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Qiao Mingjue obviously didn't notice the man who was observing him not far away, a glass of whiskey was poured down violently, and the throat was hot as if it was on fire, making his mind clearer and clearer, and the pain in his heart clearer.
borrowing wine to drown sorrow is even more sorrowful, this sentence, Qiao Mingjue has not heard it.
It's just that if he doesn't use the excuse of drinking to vent his emotions, then what other way does he have to vent his emotions?
Looking at the second glass of whiskey delivered by the waiter, Qiao Mingjue didn't move, only sighed lowly, put his hand into his pocket, took out a mobile phone, and took out a divorce certificate.
turned on the phone and flipped through the photo album, Qiao Mingjue looked at the photos of Lin Wenxuan inside, and a thin mist suddenly rose in the black pupils.
This is the woman he loves deeply, this is the only woman he has ever loved!
However, he was so stupid that he was stupid enough to lose all his beloved, and even, in her heart, he cut a wound fiercely, and did not forget to sprinkle another handful of salt.
thought that finding her would make up for the mistakes she had made, but today, Qiao Mingjue realized that it was too late to say anything.
At the beginning, love died and lived, but once he didn't love her, then in her eyes, maybe he might not even be as good as a cat or a dog, so what qualifications did he have to negotiate with her? What qualifications did he have to tell her that he still loved her deeply in his heart?
I'm afraid this love will never be able to get it back.
Tears welled up in his eyes, Qiao Mingjue locked the screen of his mobile phone, tried his best to forget everything about Lin Wenxuan, and closed his eyes in pain.
tried her best to forget the sweetness of being with Lin Wenxuan, but Yin Xinyan's face would come to mind again.
Yin Xinyan brought him much more love than Lin Wenxuan, she can give everything for love, she can sacrifice everything for love, even if it is to sacrifice her own happiness and life, she is willing.
Even if she deceived him, she loved him from the bottom of her heart.
Although he kept saying that love based on lies is not love at all, but at the moment of separation, the most feeling in his heart is still reluctance and nostalgia.
Yin Xinyan is right, if he could love her a little more, maybe they wouldn't have come to the step of divorce.
But now it's too late to say anything, he lost the person he loves the most, he lost the person he loves the most, and even stupid enough to lose the job he worked so hard to get, and overnight, he has nothing.
Tilt your head and drink a full glass of whiskey.
The slightly bitter liquid slid down his throat and into his stomach, cool, but immediately hot, with a burning sensation.
Tears dripped down his cheeks and onto the back of his hand, and after taking a deep breath, Qiao Mingjue raised his hand and ordered another glass of whiskey.
Glass after glass of liquor continued to pour into Qiao Mingjue's body, and after a while, he was drunk, but he still did not give up the idea of drinking, which inevitably made Wang Mengqian frown again.
He remembered that Xi Xi had mentioned this person to him before.
If memory serves, he should be the boyfriend of Xi Xi's friend Lin Wenxuan, right?
Could it be that the two of them quarreled, so he came to the bar alone to drink alcohol?
Seeing that Qiao Mingjue was already drunk and sleeping on the bar, Wang Mengqian shook his head helplessly and couldn't help but walk over.
Anyway, he is a friend of Xi Xi's friend, and since he has met him, he should still help a little.
took out a mini notebook from his pocket, tore off a page, took out a pen and quickly wrote down the familiar phone number, Wang Mengqian raised his hand and called the waiter in the bar.
"I paid for his drink tonight, this is his friend's phone, you can call and ask his friend to pick him up. ”
Saying that, Wang Mengqian not only paid off Qiao Mingjue and his own wine money, but also gave the waiter a tip by the way.
The waiter put away the money and agreed to all of Wang Mengqian's requests without hesitation.
In order to prevent him from meeting Xi Xi and explain everything clearly, Wang Mengqian hurriedly left the Blue Charm Bar.
In the dark night, the rain seemed to be getting heavier.
Xi Xi, who had just finished a day's work, had just walked out of the company gate when the mobile phone in his bag rang.
Taking out his mobile phone, Xi Xi frowned and looked at the unfamiliar phone number on the screen, hesitated, but chose to connect the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, there's the Blue Charm Bar. ”
Hearing the words Blue Charm Bar, Xi Xi's brows couldn't help but wrinkle even tighter.
It's been many years since she left the Blue Charm Bar, and as her career has grown, she has long since stopped singing in the bar to make money.
So now this call, is it a mistake, or is there really something urgent to find her?
Xi Xi took a deep breath: "Do you have anything to do with me?"
Without mentioning the matter of singing in the bar in the past, let alone asking too many reasons, Xi Xi decided not to reveal his identity first.
After all, the other party didn't mention her name when she came up, who knows if it's a liar?
"Yes, lady, you have a friend who is drunk with us, please come and get him away. ”
"My friend, is it a man or a woman, and what's your name?"
"It's a man, but we don't know the name, but another gentleman paid for him and asked us to call you and say you must know about him. ”
Xi Xi is really confused at this time.
Could it be that Qin Jiaxi was drunk?
But if it's really Qin Jiaxi who is drunk, then the call shouldn't have reached her, right?
"Ma'am, are you listening on the phone?"
After a pause, Xi Xi replied helplessly: "Okay, then please take care of him, I will soon have someone come over to pick him up." ”
"Sister Xi Xi, who called?" Assistant Lin Xue walked quickly to Xi Xi's side and couldn't help but ask curiously.
She has been working with Xi Xi for a long time, she hasn't seen Xi Xi in such a daze for a long time, whose phone is so magical?
Xi Xi shook his head, "It's nothing, the phone at the bar said that I had a friend who was drunk and asked me to go over and pick someone up." Xiaolin, wait a minute, please arrange a car and someone to pick it up, and if you receive someone, call me, and I won't go. ”
Due to his identity, it is indeed inconvenient for Xi Xi to appear on such an occasion.
Lin Xue nodded, "Don't worry, Sister Xixi, you go home alone and pay attention to safety, I will arrange to pick up that person now." ”
Seeing Lin Xue leave, Xi Xi opened his umbrella, called a car, and hurried home.
But Xi Xi never thought that the drunk person was Qiao Mingjue.
