50. That thorn in her heart
I took Huo Chaobang into the side hall, and after he found a place to sit down, I turned around and returned to Ye Lingsu's side. After standing for a while, some of Ye Lingsu's colleagues who usually get along well came one after another.
Charanwen came alone, and after not seeing him for a while, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. I was a little strange why he came alone, and before the thought fell, Ye Lingsu turned his head sideways and said to me: "Sun Aiying went to participate in an event, and there is no way to rush back." ”
"Happy birthday!" Charanwen walked up to us and handed over a delicately wrapped box.
I accepted it on behalf of Ye Lingsu, and then said gently: "Sit inside, your fourth brother arrived early." ”
Charanwen nodded, turned around and went in without saying anything.
At seven o'clock in the evening, except for Liu Xinmei, almost everyone who should have come came, and Ma Xiaolei also raised a set of particularly delicate cups. Oh, I forgot, the one who should have come didn't come.
"Susu, let's go in. I walked out of the side hall and walked over to her in a small dress.
Ye Lingsu stretched his neck and looked at it again, then slowly retracted his gaze, "Hmm!"
The banquet started on time, they were all young people, Ye Lingsu was usually popular, and the atmosphere in the side hall was very good. Drinking, singing, talking. I sat next to Huo Chaobang, and after the banquet was halfway through, I watched Ye Lingsu raise the wine glass and toast one after another.
"Xiao Xu, let's stop her from coming back when it's almost time. "Huo Chaobang also followed me to watch Ye Lingsu.
"She has a good amount of alcohol, and she is known as not drunk in a thousand glasses, but now she is only ten glasses, so she is not in a hurry. I laughed.
When Ye Lingsu drank the sixteenth cup, I began to feel that it was not good, this girl has to get drunk today? So, I quickly got up and walked quickly to Ye Lingsu's side.
"Susu, almost. "I held her up.
"Yes, yes, Lanzi, I haven't drunk it with you yet. She held my hand, "Thank you for giving me so much face, you are all here, eat and drink well." ”
I brought Ye Lingsu back to my table, she was carrying the wine bottle and smiling brightly.
"Xiao Xia, Fourth Brother Huo, come, have a drink. When she had finished speaking, she poured wine into her cup, and when it was full, she drank it like water.
"Susu, don't drink so much. "I snatched the bottle from her.
"Lanzi, don't spoil the fun, okay? It's rare to get together with so many good friends, and you always have to have fun. Besides, can I get myself drunk?" she opened my hand, "As for you, I'll drink with you when I get back." With your amount of wine, three glasses can completely put you down. ”
Everyone is watching, and I can't persuade her too much.
Thanks to Ye Lingsu's good amount of wine, she drank until everyone was gone, she was stunned to stand firmly, her thinking was clear, and her words were sober. Except for a few toilet trips along the way, she looked normal.
At half past ten in the evening, Huo Chaobang and Xia Langwen were sent away, and Ye Lingsu and I were left in the box, and a few waiters were cleaning up the table.
"Susu, are you alright?" I asked her worriedly, her face looking a little pale.
"It's okay, sort out those gifts, and we'll go home. She leaned on the table, her voice low.
"Good. I quickly got up, asked the waiter for two large shopping bags, and put the gift code away. As she returned to the table, she slowly got up.
Ye Lingsu leaned on me with almost all the strength of his body, and I helped Ye Lingsu to the door of the hotel. It took about fifteen minutes to walk from here to where she lived. Originally, Huo Chaobang wanted to stay and see us off, but Ye Lingsu insisted that he was too full and wanted to walk home with me.
Descend the stairs and walk along the sidewalk. At this point, the shops on both sides of the street are almost closed, and you can occasionally see one or two convenience stores that are open 24 hours a day.
Ye Lingsu grabbed my arm with both hands, and I felt like my arm was about to be broken by her. But I kept moving forward, and I knew she was uncomfortable.
After walking for a few minutes, I heard her suppressed low sobs.
About halfway through, Ye Lingsu stopped, and then she let go of my hand and knelt down down the sewer in the street. She threw up, I put the shopping bag aside, found a pack of tissues, and I reached out to gently help her down the back. Battle-hardened liver carrying.
"Susu, don't be like this, you will definitely meet a better man than Gao Zefeng. I comforted her with a feeble look.
"Do you have tissues?" she whispered to me.
I quickly pulled out a few tissues and stuffed them into her hand, she wiped them haphazardly, and after throwing them away, she staggered back to her feet.
"Susu, let's take a break before we go. ”
"No, let's go. She let go of my hand and walked forward.
I grabbed the shopping bag on the ground and quickly followed, but before I could reach out, she shook and threw herself on the ground.
"Susu. I put the shopping bag on the ground and rushed up to hold her.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy. She pushed me again.
"Ye Lingsu, don't you want to be like this, okay? I cried out when I felt uncomfortable, what are you doing like this?" I was angry and anxious.
"Crying?" she smiled at the corners of her mouth, the water stains at the corners of her eyes had not yet dried, "I don't cry, he likes women to show weakness, I want to be strong to show him." Lanzi, I must be strong to show him. ”
"Lanzi, do you know the real reason why we broke up?" Ye Lingsu sat on the edge of the sidewalk, but it was a pity that she spent more than nine hundred to buy the small dress.
I waited silently for her to speak.
"You know, after my mom gave birth to me, my dad left, and my mom never saw him again. When I was five years old, my mom took me back to my grandmother's house. After she left me to my grandmother and grandfather, she said that she would go out to work to earn money to support me. In fact, she didn't do any decent work at all, just kept changing men. When I have money, I give my grandparents a little, and when I don't have money, I can't see her for a year and a half. Ye Lingsu buried his head in his palm, "Grandpa hates my mother for not being angry, and even hates me." My grandmother loved me, and they had a lot of fights because of me. So, I had to stay away. ”
"Susu, don't say it. "I was sad and hugged her shoulder, her family affairs were a thorn in her heart, even Liu Xinmei and I never dared to mention her father and her mother in front of her.
"Let me tell me, I'm uncomfortable. She looked sideways, and under the street lamp, the corner of her mouth was a smile that was more bitter than Huang Lian, "Lanzi, I actually didn't lose hope in marriage because of my parents' irresponsibility." I just felt that I had what it took to support myself. So, I need a man, I don't need a marriage. ”
"Gao Zefeng is the owner of my partner company, and like me, his parents have been divorced since childhood. So, we hit it off at first sight. He's still unmarried, like me. He's very good, the kind of good that he's afraid to touch in the palm of his hand. So, I gradually thought, perhaps, marriage is not so terrible. During my hospitalization, he came to stay with me every night. After I was discharged from the hospital, one night we talked about marriage and I said I wanted to marry him. ”
Ye Lingsu wiped a handful of tears and then said, "That's it, he's gone." I know he's not going back, still hoping for a miracle. Lanzi, women are really ridiculous sometimes, and they always hope that they are really the most special women to that man. I always don't want to admit that I am no different from other women. ”
