Liu Xingchen began to look for a job, the most ideal place is, of course, a foreign company, after submitting his resume online, several companies asked him to meet, so he frequently went out to deal with interviews during the day, anyway, Ai Mengmeng slept at home during the day, and did not have to worry about her running around.

The chairman's wife hasn't seen her son for a week, and she hasn't come back since she sent Wu Jiao home that night. His father hasn't seen anyone these days, and the father and son seem to have discussed it. The chairman's wife couldn't help but call Wu Jiao's home, and it was Wu Jiao's mother who answered the phone. The chairman's wife asked, "Hello, is the stars over there?" ”

Wu Jiao's mother said: "No, I haven't been here for a long time, I still wonder, are these two children angry?" ”

The chairman's wife hurriedly changed her words: "No, no, maybe I'm going out to find a job, young people are very busy." ”

Wu Jiao's mother smiled and said, "Alas, yes, come over if you have nothing to do, I am also bored and panicked, and no one speaks." ”

The chairman's wife smiled deliberately: "Okay, okay, I'll go over to see you when I have time and pay attention to my body." ”

Wu Jiao's mother said: "Thank you, I will pay attention, and you can take good care of it." ”

The chairman's wife said perfunctorily: "Okay, then that's it, let's talk again when I have time, hang up first." ”

Wu Jiao's mother said, "Okay, goodbye." ”

The chairman's wife said, "Goodbye." ”

Hung up the phone, the smile on the face of the chairman's wife disappeared immediately, she sat on the sofa alone and pondered, listening to the meaning of Wu Jiao's mother's words, Xingchen didn't seem to have been in touch with Wu Jiao for a long time, has this child been fooling around with that woman all along? Have you even forgotten about your in-laws? And why didn't his father say a word about his in-laws? It's really suffocating. The chairman's wife went upstairs to change her clothes, and called Xiao Chen to go out together, and she had to ask the chairman about this matter.

When Xiao Chen drove the chairman's wife to the bottom of the building of the Education Foundation, they happened to see the chairman of the board of directors coming out of the building and getting into the old long Daben, without Xiao Zhao following. The chairman's wife wanted to stop him, but unfortunately it was too far away, she picked up her mobile phone and was about to call him, when she saw the long strip running in the direction of the old city, she was a little curious, put away the mobile phone, and let Xiao Chen follow from behind.

On the long strip, the chairman said to the driver: "Follow the navigator, I don't know where the café she said is, it's in the old city anyway." ”

The driver nodded: "Okay, Chairman." ”

Their car followed the navigator into a narrow road, where there are few people and sparse cars, you can temporarily escape the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, go around such a big circle is not to drink a cup of coffee, coffee can be drunk anywhere, the key is to be remote enough, it is the chairman of the board of directors who asked Ai Mengmeng to choose a place, and he wants to meet her alone, he can't let Liu Xingchen know.

Ai Mengmeng drove her little red sedan late, and there was a long gallop parked in front of the café, of course, she wouldn't know that there was a small black horse parked in the distance. She got out of the car dressed in a neutral outfit, and before entering the café, she didn't forget to put out her cigarette and stuff a piece of chewing gum in her mouth. The chairman of the board of directors had been watching her for a long time at the table by the window on the second floor. For a young man, chewing gum and talking to you is respecting you, don't toast or eat, if he hadn't seen her previous actions, he would definitely mistakenly think that she was deliberately challenging the patience of her elders.

Ai Mengmeng was taken to the second floor by the waiter, and was signaled by the hand that the gentleman by the window was it, at this moment, Ai Mengmeng's heart trembled - he was old.

The chairman shook his hand at her, "Here." He stood up, still straight.

Ai Mengmeng walked over and put his hand in the palm of his hand that had already stretched out to prepare, although he was not used to it, he did not exclude shaking hands with him: "Uncle Liu, let you wait for a long time." ”

"It's okay, sit down." The chairman looked her up and down as he spoke: "You don't seem to have changed much, why do you look so pale?" Do you often stay up late? ”

"Ahh It's all visible, hehe, yes, no way, work needs. ”

"Work...... Do you need it? ”

"Hmm." Ai Mengmeng didn't pay much attention to his expression, stared at the menu with her head down, pushed the menu over and said, "Uncle, you order first, this time I invited you, didn't you say it all last time, remember?" She looked up and looked at the chairman with a smile, noticing that his expression was a little stiff.

The chairman said, "Can you ask what you are doing now?" ”

"Sell liquor and supply bars."

"Oh." He nodded with satisfaction, for a person who doesn't go to a bar at all, of course he thinks it's a very decent job, but basically all wine sellers rely on hue to do business, who would believe that Ai Mengmeng is an exception.

"It's been seven or eight years in a flash, uncle, your memory is so good, how can you still remember my mobile phone number, alas, no, I didn't have a mobile phone at that time, where did I get it, did Liu Xingchen tell you?"

"Hehe, no, I asked my colleague to check it for me." The chairman of the board of directors replied very modestly. In fact, where to ask a colleague, it is simply to call the secretary and ask the secretary to transfer directly from the alumni directory of Juli High School.

Ai Mengmeng didn't plan to be with Liu Xingchen, so she didn't care about the intention of meeting her father this time, but the chairman of the board of directors was always embarrassed to say it, and it took a long time to just chat with her casually about the current situation, talk about Liu Xingchen, talk about Wu Jiao, and when she talked about Ai Mengmeng's parents, her smile disappeared immediately, and she held her chin without saying a word. The chairman had already learned about her family situation from the secretary before, not to uncover the scars, he had to complete the sentence, he said: "I learned about the part between you and Xingchen when you were in high school, and that is his personal opinion, I want to hear what you think." ”

Ai Mengmeng smiled faintly and said: "The reality is that the senior only turned around in the first half of the second semester of high school, and I dropped out of school in the second half of my sophomore year. ”

The chairman nodded, thinking that what she said was very realistic, and that she was not exaggerating or concealing at all, and he was very satisfied with such an answer. He said, "That means that you only got along with Xingchen after Wu Jiao, right?" ”

The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward, Ai Mengmeng avoided his gaze and fell silent.

The chairman sighed and said: "I don't want to interfere with the freedom of love of you young people, I really can't help it, Xingchen he doesn't listen to me, he just returned to China, he ran away outside, the concept and consciousness are the West, in fact, he doesn't really understand the West, he only sees extreme phenomena, Christianity and Catholicism countries are cautious about extramarital affairs, people are much more disciplined than this." A man and a woman can't go on with love alone, love is not a necessary condition for marriage, having said that, everyone has been young, when they were young, they thought that there was a whole world with love, but life requires incomparably strong perseverance to persevere. Recently, I am also studying psychology because of the needs of work, seven years may be a bottleneck in doing anything, not simply reflected in the psychology of sexuality, he and Wu Jiao have been seven years, and they have almost become relatives. There is a research institute in a foreign country that has done a survey, and there is almost no divorced man who does not regret it, which is not a question of what kind of woman is better, people cannot get carried away. As soon as Xingchen came back here, you may not know that his mother revolves around him every day, his two cousins also worship him to the ground, plus Wu Jiao, and former female classmates, all of which make him look like a proud son of the sky, hmph, I think he may not be able to sober up in a year or two. Marriage needs to be cautious, and the same is true for you, this kind of dizzy man, don't be confused by his rhetoric, this is what your uncle advises you, if you think it's right, think about it, if you think it's wrong, it's nonsense, don't take it to heart. ”

Ai Mengmeng smiled relievedly: "Thank you, uncle." Actually, you don't need to explain so much to me, I'm not qualified to rob him with Wu Jiao. ”

The chairman of the board of directors said: "I can't say that, he and Wu Jiao didn't get a marriage certificate for a day, and they didn't have the question of who robbed whom;." I know that you can't accept him casually without having a good impression of Xingchen, you have also paid a lot, in short, our family has caused you a lot of damage, uncle has a card here, I want to express a little apology, please accept it. He put a magnetic card on the table and pushed it in front of Ai Mengmeng.

Ai Mengmeng knew what this was, glanced at it, and didn't take it.

The chairman said, "You took this as a component fee?" It's not like that. You have to think about your own affairs, and my uncle just proposed a proposal for you. ”

Ai Mengmeng said, "I don't want it." ”

The chairman looked at her, her attitude was very resolute, the kind that couldn't be persuaded at all, the chairman lowered his head embarrassedly and put the card away: "Okay, I'm sorry." ”

Ai Mengmeng said: "No, uncle, I'm sorry for me...... I'll leave him. ”

The chairman raised his head and looked at her with emotion: "If you need help from your uncle in the future, just call that phone directly, that is my private number." ”

"Hmm." Ai Mengmeng nodded, snapped her fingers at the waiter, and paid the bill.

They walked out of the café one after the other and said a few words at the door.

The chairman asked, "How did you get here, I'll send you back?" ”

Ai Mengmeng said: "No need, my car is over there." ”

The chairman smiled and said, "Hehe, it's a good mix!" ”

Ai Mengmeng smiled and said, "How to compare with uncle." ”

The chairman said, "Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you." ”

Ai Mengmeng sat in the car and nodded: "Yes." Goodbye, uncle! ”

"Goodbye." Standing on the road, the chairman waved goodbye to her very humbly, and watched her car disappear into the intersection. At the same time, he saw a car in the distance that looked a little familiar, but he didn't pay much attention to it and went back in the car.

The chairman's wife sitting in the little dark horse Mali is about to explode at the moment, what is the son's lover going to do? Surely my son didn't know about it! Oh my God, what is this? Are father and son infatuated with the same woman? Impossible, impossible, impossible...... Now TV dramas don't let it do this! The chairman's wife held her head and lewd in the car for more than half an hour, and finally with her years of understanding and trust in her husband, she ruled out the terrible possibility and calmed down a little.

Ai Mengmeng drove around the street, and bought some vegetables at the vegetable market by the way, during this time, she has been thinking about what the chairman said, although she knows that Liu Xingchen is not hot-headed for her, but the chairman said that "a man and a woman can not go on by love, and life requires great perseverance to persevere" This sentence made her mind very much, very mind. Recalling the scene when her parents divorced, her love became terrible. She didn't believe that her parents didn't love each other, at least what she saw in the eyes of a ten-year-old child was that they agreed to divorce after they hurt each other so much that they couldn't help each other. If you don't love each other, will it hurt each other so much? If you don't love each other, will you last for ten years in such a bad marriage? She couldn't find the slightest evidence that they didn't love each other or didn't love each other enough, so her mood fell into a deep valley.

She turned the steering wheel lazily with a cigarette in her mouth, and remembered those things from earlier, she and Liu Xingchen even had to quarrel when they ran a beach race, not to mention the vicious battles they fought at home before, it was completely the rhythm of beating people's heads into dog heads, if there was another child crying and making trouble, it would definitely be a copy of her own family, because she loved too much to forgive, because she gave too much and couldn't give up. She rested her forehead on the steering wheel, feeling the hopelessness of the world......
