Chapter 9: Love is confused
He has planned it, and when the grades are single, he will apply for the top 100 universities in his hometown, although it is not as good as the university in Nanning, but here it is close to Grandma, Zhang Yan thought, Mom and Dad don't want themselves, only Grandma is the closest person to him. He wants to be by Grandma's side.
The report card will not come back until two weeks later, and these two weeks are the two most relaxed weeks for Zhang Yan.
In the past, in addition to going to and from class, Zhang Yan also reviewed materials at home during the week, and Zhang Yan went to the cinema to watch movies alone, staying all day, watching one after another.
He likes to be in the dark environment of the movie theater, no one knows anyone, no one cares about anyone, there is no strife and noise, quietly watching the story on the movie screen, the joys and sorrows in the story continue until the end, only this twenty-year-old boy, in the corner of the last row, as if all this strife and noise has nothing to do with him.
Yang Ru'e's phone called at this time, and she was very anxious to ask him to send the contract.
Zhang Yan could only leave this halfway through the broadcast: [Predecessor 2] to send a contract to his mother.
Although he knew that it was a social meeting, the moment the waiter pushed the door open, Zhang Yan was still stunned by the scene in front of him, the box was full of smoke, and his mother was sitting in the middle of the group of men, and her radiant face was a little confused.
The wine bureau is set in the Mingyuan Hotel, Nanning is very famous, or a four-star hotel, the decoration is very luxurious and tall, just now Zhang Yan walked in all the mahogany furniture plus the embellishment of Jiangnan garden-style grass and trees, I only feel that the hotel has a back to the ancient style, quiet and elegant, when Zhang Yan entered the door only to find that the difference between the inside of the box and the outside of the box is too big.
Seeing that the men seemed to be a few months pregnant, holding a cigarette in their left hand and a wine glass in their right hand as if they were talking about the contract, a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol came to the face in the box.
The people in the box saw the door being opened, and their eyes were all on Zhang Yan's body, Yang Ru'e smiled coquettishly and said, "This is my son, he is here to send me a contract." ”
"Hello uncles. Zhang Yan greeted them very politely, and just wanted to leave after handing over the contract to his mother.
They said enthusiastically: "Mr. Yang's son is really a talent, sunny and handsome, just like Mr. Yang is beautiful and generous." ”
These polite words are the most common thing at the wine table: "Since you are here, sit down for a while!"
These are Yang Ru'e's business partners, and she didn't dare not give them face, so she took a cup and poured a glass of juice and handed it to Zhang Yan: "Come to Xiaoyan, toast with your uncles and three big sisters." ”
Zhang Yan sat beside his mother, looking at a room full of middle-aged men, Zhang Yan was paying attention to those men with slightly obscene expressions, and in the middle sat a girl who was about the same age as herself, playing with her mobile phone with her head down. With jet-black hair, a slender ponytail, and a princess dress with thin florals, she looks particularly clear and moving. With fair and pink skin, and neatly trimmed eyebrows, her temperament is like that of the little princess in the movie, and her tall nose is wrinkled and a little naughty.
It's beautiful, and Zhang Yan, who has always been introverted, couldn't help but take a second look.
He really admired her, she could play with her mobile phone quietly on such an occasion, and he must be uneasy and unsuitable for this kind of occasion.
But he knew in his heart that he couldn't spoil everyone because of his selfishness, and besides, this was his mother's business. He stood up and was about to make a toast when the uncle next to him pressed down his glass.
"Mr. Yang, it's too polite to drink juice!"
"Look at what you Mr. Mu said, let's just drink, my son is still a student," Yang Ru'e said with a shallow smile. ”
That Mr. Mu still didn't give in: "What's wrong with the student! Look at my daughter, after graduating from high school, I will pull her to socialize with me, otherwise how will she take over my class after graduation." ”
"A young man should have more experience and experience, and come out to see the world more. ”
The others also joined in with the rhythm of this Mr. Mu, as if they were watching Zhang Yan's mother and son perform on stage, Zhang Yan stood stiffly, still holding a cup in his hand, not standing, not sitting, as if waiting to be slaughtered.
Yang Ru'e looked embarrassed and gently patted the back of Mr. Mu's hand: "That's enough! Mr. Mu, you bad guys, even if you bully me, you can't even bully me, a son who has just stepped into society?"
When she said this, her figure was very soft, with a coquettish tone, this was also the first time Zhang Yan saw the other side of her mother, Zhang Yan was stunned.
"Sometimes, in order to achieve something, people do not hesitate to show off being disliked to please each other. ”
Zhang Yan couldn't say the feeling in his heart, was this his mother? He himself almost couldn't recognize the woman in front of him, and his mother would make my life like this.
Mr. Mu was very useful, but he just didn't want to let go of this glass of wine and let himself lose face: "Look at what you Mr. Yang said." ”
Mr. Mu seems to have been on the same page as Zhang Yan's glass of wine, Zhang Yan will not stop if he doesn't drink, and let Yang Ru'e replace him.
Yang Ru'e saw that the atmosphere in the box was a little stiff, and said apologetically: "Xiaoyan, or you ............"
Zhang Yan couldn't believe his ears, he looked at this mother suspiciously, with help in his eyes, Zhang Yan didn't speak, just looked at Yang Ru'e like this, until she was embarrassed to dodge.
Zhang Yan was a little disappointed, the mother in front of him really promised the two of them, in order to please the customer, even his own son could be betrayed.
Mr. Mu had already poured a glass of wine and stuffed it into Zhang Yan's hand: "Little handsome guy, have a drink!"
The people in the box, all their eyes were on Zhang Yan's mother and son, and they seemed to tell Zhang Yan that if he didn't drink this glass of wine, the business would be yellow.
I don't know when the girl who has been playing with her mobile phone also fell on Zhang Yan, she has a pair of big eyes, and she always looks a little affectionate.
Zhang Yan didn't move, and glanced at his mother again, his eyes were very cold, but there was a faint signal for help, but Yang Ru'e still turned her face away and didn't speak.
Zhang Yan felt a little bitter in his heart, wasn't it just a glass of wine! It wasn't like this before, when he was in elementary school, someone accidentally tripped him, he fell and his forehead broke, and his mother went directly to the principal's office.
As soon as Zhang Yan raised his wine glass, someone stopped him: "Hey... Don't... What kind of wine do students drink!" She glanced at a middle-aged man in the middle of the banquet, it was a man who seemed to be very ordinary, but his speech seemed to carry a bit of weight, and everyone around him all night patted his ass, he nodded, and the people sitting at the wine table laughed and perfunctory the matter.
The girl coquettishly said to the middle-aged man again: "Dad, I can't play with you, there is no common topic, so we still go out first." ”
After speaking, she beckoned to Zhang Yan: "Let's go, I'll take you to play elsewhere, this atmosphere is not suitable for people of our age." ”
Zhang Yan followed her out, and the two of them walked out of the box, seeing that the girl seemed to be very familiar with everything here, they took the elevator downstairs and came to a milk tea shop, "This is a milk tea shop that I don't usually like to drink." She said, Zhang Yan instinctively pulled out the chair, let's sit here.
"Thank you for helping me out, otherwise I would have drunk that glass of wine just now. ”
"My name is Zhang Yan!
"Mu Yao. ”
"You're welcome!" they are like that, and sometimes they deliberately make things difficult for others.
Zhang Yan smiled at him and asked, "Is this all the way to socialize?"
Mu Yao quickly understood what Zhang Yan meant, she said with a wry smile: "That's how it is on the wine table, everyone has it, and it's not easy for your mother, don't think too much....."
Zhang Yan nodded absentmindedly, in fact, Yang Ru'e didn't do anything wrong, but Zhang Yan couldn't accept it, and let everyone look at his jokes in order to please others.
In the past few years in Nanning, I have also heard some rumors about my mother, saying that she is willing to do anything in order to get a contract, Zhang Yan never believed it at that time, they must have slandered her mother,
Can be ........ today All this that Zhang Yan witnessed with his own eyes also confirmed that the rumors were true. He has no right to blame his mother, but his mother is not a money worshipper, she doesn't have to come this far, they can live a dull life, they can also live in a big house, sometimes Zhang Yan would rather go back to Baise, even if his mother in the past, even a little snack has to be locked, but he also feels that it is a very simple and warm day.
He sat a little stupid, Mu Yao looked at him and called him softly: "Xiao Yan." ”
Xiao Yan is his nickname, only extremely kind people will call him like this, but from Mu Yao's mouth, there is a feeling that he always feels very kind.
Zhang Yan came back to his senses and looked up to find that Mu Yao was wearing earrings with large circles on his ears, and he felt vaguely familiar.
The two chatted for a while, Mu Yao is also a college entrance examination candidate, and the two are still the same age, but Mu Yao is a few months younger than Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan's heart is not in the state today, and he will soon say goodbye to her.
Mu Yao didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and said with a handshake: "First time we met, Xiao Yan, I hate and am happy to meet you." ”
That night, Zhang Yan returned home, and Yang Ru'e rarely returned home early.
As soon as she came back, Yang Ru'e asked: "Xiaoyan, where did you go with Mu Yao?" Let me tell you, Mu Yao is the daughter of President Mu of our headquarters, you have to walk around with her more. ”
Zhang Yan listened, most of them just walked around, and it was best not to lose your temper.
He looked at the luxuriously renovated house, which was huge. This is a city where every inch of land is valuable, although the house they live in now is better than that of Baise, but in Zhang Yan's eyes, no matter how beautiful the house is, the people living in it can't feel the warmth of home at all, and there is no one.
It's still a good grandmother's house, although the house is a little dilapidated, but you can see the warmth of home everywhere.
Zhang Yan looked at her mother calmly: "Mom, why did you come to Nanning?"
Is it for Zhang Zhongxing? The man who knelt down and begged him bitterly, but instead told you about divorce with a disgusted face, you still think about him?
It's been eight years since you divorced, and your mobile phone number has never changed, but has he ever called you? What you have paid, have you looked back at you now? What are you doing all this for?
Yang Ru'e's nagging instantly became speechless, and the air became quiet.
Zhang Yan seemed to be able to hear his mother's heart bleeding, and he said sadly: "Mom, let's go back!"
