Chapter 81: Powerlessness
Except for Zhan Liyang and Wang Jingshu and his wife, Ran Xixi recalled and found that he really hadn't been in contact with other relatives of the Zhan family. Therefore, she is not very clear about what those relatives and friends think of her, including the one in front of her.
However, Ran Xixi could see that although Zhan Liming was very tolerant of Zhan Xingchuan, he was still very arrogant to her, an outsider, and the elders were full of majesty.
It can be seen that he is not cowardly by nature, but just able to restrain his momentum in front of his nephew.
But in this way, Ran Xixi is even more puzzled: a big uncle, even if he has no say in the family now, he will not be so depressed that he needs to look up to the junior's breath to live.
"If you can see the situation, that's for the best. You're also old, isn't it good to enjoy your retirement? Xingzi is also married and has children, your family is not very good, why bother to meddle in my family's affairs?"
It can be heard that Zhan Xingchuan is very dissatisfied with the fact that Zhan Liming has come to visit Wang Jingshu repeatedly.
Zhan Liming was speechless when he was asked, and an old face finally showed an embarrassed expression, he took a step back, wanted to say something, but in the end he still held back, just shook his head, and sighed.
When he turned to leave, Ran Xixi saw that Zhan Liming's back didn't seem to be as straight as before. When he walks, his steps are not particularly steady. No matter how well a person is maintained, it is impossible to completely resist the power of time, and he will eventually grow old slowly.
This kind of force majeure is the most helpless.
Zhan Liming's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, and his appearance seemed to make this seemingly ordinary night awe-inspiring. Ran Xixi could clearly feel that Zhan Xingchuan, who was standing beside him, was barely suppressing the negative emotions in his heart, perhaps, if it weren't for the fact that she was still here, he would have completely exploded.
"You ......"
As soon as she said two words, she was interrupted by Zhan Xingchuan fiercely: "You'd better not ask anything, and definitely don't tell what happened tonight!
Looking at the way he looks, he is really angry.
Ran Xixi moved her lips, but finally didn't continue to ask.
Perhaps, everyone has one or two forbidden areas that cannot be easily touched, and since Zhan Xingchuan has clearly told her that he will not say anything more to her, she simply won't talk nonsense.
"Alright then, I'm home. You don't have to send me, I can just call a taxi with a taxi app. ”
Seeing that Zhan Xingchuan's state at the moment was not quite right, Ran Xixi didn't dare to take his car home, she took out her mobile phone and was about to call a car.
He immediately and unceremoniously raised his objections: "Haven't you read the recent news? Recently, society has been particularly unsafe, and you don't know how dangerous it is for women to go out in the middle of the night?"
Ran Xixi held his mobile phone and immediately ridiculed him: "You can't not allow women to go out because of danger, right? How many women are idle and still wandering on the street in the middle of the night? What should we do if we work overtime, make up classes, and run around for a living? Why don't you say that making the whole society safer, and everyone doesn't need to worry about going out is the first priority?"
Zhan Xingchuan snorted and snorted, "Until that goal is achieved, it's always right for an individual to be cautious. I don't want to tell you those big truths, anyway, when it's dark, you are not allowed to go out alone, if you have to go out, let the driver drop you off. I see you're healed and forgot the pain, and you don't bring bodyguards with you lately!"
Luo Zhengliang died, the threat was lifted, and Ran Xixi couldn't stand the life of having two little tails everywhere he went, so he returned to his previous life. Although Zhan Xingchuan was helpless, he couldn't follow her all the time, so he had to open his eyes and close his eyes and let her go. Thankfully, she doesn't have to work every day now, and she spends most of her time at home, so she doesn't have any danger.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do in the past few days, and it will be difficult to say in a few days, I will go to work in a new company in a few days, and I may have to train in a unified manner. ”
Ran Xixi knew very little about the new company, and all of them had heard about it from Amanda's mouth. Bonnie Kers seemed to be disappointed in her, she emailed him several times, but did not get any reply, it seems that she has really "fallen out of favor" in front of the big boss, and I don't know what the people at the headquarters will say.
As long as there are people, there will be struggles, regardless of East and West, men, women and children.
"New company?"
Zhan Xingchuan asked in surprise while pulling the car door for her, he thought that Ran Xixi had resigned, or had been fired and was about to be unemployed at home.
He originally thought that it would be better for her not to work, so she could spend more time with her children at home to make up for her previous shortcomings.
"Well, the branch, in charge of the Asian market, with a focus on China Shipping. ”
Ran Xixi replied in a low voice, I don't know why, when she talked about it, she was a little weak-hearted.
"The new company must have a lot of things to do, but there are not enough people. When the time comes, what will Rui Rui do? Do you plan to leave him to the nanny? Do your business, it is indispensable to socialize, whether it is the opening ceremony or the fashion week, you can push it once, and you can push it again? No, I don't agree, since you have to take custody of Rui Rui, you have to take good care of him, otherwise, give him back to me!"
As he spoke, Zhan Xingchuan seemed to be angry.
Ran Xixi had already gotten into the car, and as soon as she heard this, she leaned out again and planned to get out of the car.
Seeing her actions, Zhan Xingchuan decisively reached out and pressed her head, stuffed her head and body into the car, and at the same time pushed it and forcefully closed the door. Ran Xixi was taken aback, for fear of being slapped on the bridge of her nose by the car door, she had to lean back and sit completely in the car.
"How can there be an unreasonable person like you? That's my job, it's not that I want to socialize, besides, I have measure, I can balance work and life......"
She was so angry that when she saw him get into the car, she immediately explained loudly.
Zhan Xingchuan plucked out his ears, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know if he had listened.
It wasn't until Ran Xixi's mouth was dry and he couldn't find a suitable sentence to continue, that he turned his head and asked, "Is the seat belt fastened?" I'm going to drive. ”
She slammed her back into the back of her chair in despair, wishing she could fight him once to relieve her hatred.
"There are so many people who want to hit me, and it's not your turn. ”
The man who was driving seemed to see her inner activity and said nonchalantly.
When Ran Xixi returned home, Zhan Ruijue had already taken a bath and fallen asleep.
I heard Sister Li say that before he fell asleep, he kept asking why his mother hadn't come back.
Ran Xixi's heart was suddenly sour, very uncomfortable.
Although she and Zhan Xingchuan argued for a long time, however, when she thought that she would not be able to get home every day in the future, the child was already asleep, and she could only lightly go to see her son in the dreamland, Ran Xixi couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing whether she should take the new job.
She took a bath, although it was late at night, she didn't feel sleepy, so Ran Xixi poured herself a glass of red wine, held a notebook, leaned against the bedside to check the email, and took a sip from time to time.
When Bonnie Kers called, she happened to be a little sleepy, hazy.
"You slept?"
It's still a questioning tone over there, no way, who made him the boss?
Ran Xixi cheered up and pressed her temple with her other hand: "Not yet, I am dealing with the email, and a few customers may not know about my resignation, so they sent the email to me again, and I will transfer it to Amanda and let her handle it." ”
Hearing this, Bonnie Kers asked straight to the point, "So, are you angry with my decision?"
She was so frightened that she almost threw the notebook out of her hand, and mentally calculated the jet lag to make sure he wasn't having a convulsion.
"I've been neglecting my duties for months, and a lot of work has not been done in a timely manner, which has added a lot of workload to Amanda. So, I don't think there's anything wrong with the company's decision. ”
Ran Xixi took a deep breath and carefully worded his words.
Unexpectedly, Bonnie Kers interrupted her: "It has nothing to do with the company, I want to do this." Xixi, I have something I want to say to you, but I don't have the courage to stand in front of you, I can only say it on the phone. ”
She suddenly had trouble breathing, as if she understood something, but she didn't want to think deeply in that direction.
"Mr. Kears, it's getting late, if you have something to tell me to do, can you send me an email, I'll do it as soon as I wake up......"
Ran Xixi wanted to stop him, because she really didn't want to hear something that had nothing to do with work, coming out of his mouth.
"I'm sorry, but I still want to say. I thought about it for many days, and I thought that I was a very brave person who could do whatever it took to face my heart. But I was wrong, I was actually cowardly and selfish, I fell in love with someone, but I found that there were so many barriers between me and her that I didn't know how to break through them, let alone how to defeat my demons. I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
Only then did she realize that he was actually a little slurred when he spoke, as if he had been drinking.
Bonnie Kers's alcohol consumption is very unstable, depending on the mood, when he is in a good mood, he is almost a thousand glasses not drunk, but when he is in a bad mood, he is completely poured with a glass.
Therefore, Ran Xixi asked him anxiously if he was drinking, where he was, and whether he was accompanied by anyone.
"If you don't drink...... I won't talk to you so much......"
There seemed to be a hiccup sound coming from there, and the sound was much lower than before.
She vaguely understood that Bonnie Kers had said sorry to herself over and over again because he had found that he had no way to break through many of the barriers that existed in life, and that there were many things that were more important to him than feelings.
