At seven o'clock in the evening, I had to deal with the damn food test, Liu Xingchen stared at the text message sent by Uncle Paul and was stunned, I don't know who gave the chairman's wife a bad idea, the wedding hotel was actually booked in the Liying main store, Jiang Hong's territory! Feeling unwell and unbearable, he immediately called his mother, but the chairman's wife was bargaining with the studio owner outdoors at the moment, and she didn't care about answering the phone, and now there are so many people looking for her, she didn't expect her son to call. Liu Xingchen dialed the chairman's wife's mobile phone three times in a row, and began to be angry with his mother, as far as his judgment is concerned, his mother and Jiang Hong should have met each other, I remember that when I was discharged from the hospital that day, I saw a stack of Zen books in the middle of a large number of supplements and medicines, he asked my mother who sent it, and my mother said in a flashing voice that I forgot, but according to his analysis, Jiang Hong is very good at being a person and cannot send a secretary to come, it should be in person, my mother's dodgy expression seems to indicate that she already knows that Jiang Hong is Ai Mengmeng's mother, since they have met, It is impossible for Jiang Hong not to introduce herself, to sum up, Liu Xingchen feels that booking a hotel seems to be intentional by his mother!

In order to express his anger, he decided not to try the dish tonight. But as soon as he put down the phone, Ai Mengmeng received a call from Wu Jiao, asking her to try the food, Ai Mengmeng asked the hotel address, and the troublesome Cheng Dù was no worse than Liu Xingchen, as the best classmate Ai Mengmeng had no reason to refuse. Liu Xingchen held the steering wheel, squinted at her, and his expression seemed to say, now you know what the bride and groom are not me, right?

After hanging up the phone, Ai Mengmeng rummaged through the pockets of her body and didn't find anything that could be lit, because the one she was wearing was strictly a pajama, she took out his cigarette and his zippo from Liu Xingchen's pocket, but the big black cat kept scratching her hand with her paws, she dodged left and right, and was still annoyed by it after all. Liu Xingchen said: "It's so annoying, throw it away, right?" Ai Mengmeng ignored him.

He pulled over to the side of the road, lowered the window, and said to her, "Do you dare to let go?" Believe it or not, as soon as you let go, it will run out immediately? ”

Ai Mengmeng said unconvinced: "What if it doesn't run?" ”

He said very casually: "Then keep it, heh, it is the messenger sent by God to you to quit smoking." ”

Ai Mengmeng clutched the cat's legs tightly, and her eyes were very determined: "No, I want to raise it." ”

His calm expression gradually became entangled, and he had a very unbalanced resentment against her clenched hands, he quickly withdrew his gaze, and scolded in a bad mood: "Damn, I'm jealous of this cat......"

The big black cat licked Ai Mengmeng's finger with her prickly tongue, and she looked down at its blue eyes. They continued to drive on the deserted road. He suddenly said, "I've met your mother." ”

Ai Mengmeng asked in disbelief, "When?" ”

"While you were playing and disappearing, I went to ask her if she had any news of you." His voice was low: "I told her that I want to marry you, and she was very happy and agreed to attend our wedding." He continued: "I also went to the antique city to find your father, your father was very warm to me, told me a lot of antique knowledge, and invited me to eat dumplings, he said that the antique business has become more and more difficult to do in recent years." It can be seen that your father's life is very difficult, and he misses you very much and asks a lot about you. ”

Ai Mengmeng put her face on the big black cat's body and listened quietly.

He said, "Your mother's side...... I don't have the face to see her. I guess she should be angry right now. This time, our family set the wedding banquet at the Beauty Shadow Hotel probably negligent in this relationship, and I didn't think of these things before, otherwise I would have avoided this embarrassment. ”

Ai Mengmeng said coldly: "It doesn't matter, Jiang Hong and I have long broken off our relationship." ”

Liu Xingchen said: "She's your mother! ”

Ai Mengmeng said: "What's wrong with my mother, does it have anything to do with you?" ”

Liu Xingchen was suddenly choked speechless.

In front of the dressing mirror, Ai Mengmeng took the black dress skirt with a seven-digit price tag and measured it.

Liu Xingchen, who was watching TV on the sofa, suddenly said, "Don't wear this." ”

Ai Mengmeng asked unhappily, "Why?" ”

"No, don't wear this." He dropped a very impatient sentence and turned his head back to watch TV.

Ai Mengmeng was angry at the mirror: "I think it's quite appropriate to wear this on that occasion!" ”

"It's not appropriate." He didn't even look at her.

Ai Meng asked fiercely: "Why! ”

His eyes were glued to the TV and he said, "If it's not suitable, it's not suitable, and there's no why." ”

Ai Mengmeng threw the clothes on his head in a fit of anger: "Give it back to you!" it! ”

With a sudden, the heavy fabric slid down his head, and he sat there in silence, looking particularly shameless.

Ai Mengmeng ran to the bedroom to rummage through the cabinets, trying to find a piece of clothes that were heavy, rummaging through only a few, for her wardrobe, he knew in his heart, there were not many clothes, they were all plain, in his opinion, each one had her expression and subtext, the small suit represents "I'm not familiar with you, okay", the clip represents "you're my old friend", the shirt represents "don't treat me like a stupid", the t-shirt represents "I think you're boring", and the only dress represents "I want to be in love...... Unexpectedly, he saw Ai Mengmeng come out in a listless long T-shirt. For some reason, he suddenly made a little happy, but immediately became stern again.

Ai Mengmeng walked to the door, picked out a pair of leather sandals with rivets, and put them on her feet.

He asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Ai Mengmeng turned around a little stunned and said, "Let's try the dishes!" ”

"Who told you to go?"

Ai Mengmeng thought he had amnesia, and looked at him in disbelief: "Wu Jiao! ”

"I mean, who allowed you to go?"

Ai Mengmeng looked at him blankly. Liu Xingchen picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. Ai Mengmeng's eyes gradually became angry: "Liu Xingchen! What do you mean? Why don't you let me go? Then you still say that it is not appropriate to wear this, and it is not appropriate to wear that, you are sick! ”

"I was already sick," he said. ”

Ai Mengmeng said angrily: "It's a neurosis!" ”

"You guessed it."

"But this is my house—" Ai Mengmeng threw the clutch bag over his head, but she didn't throw it accurately, the handbag grazed his shoulder and flew behind the sofa, thinking that the car keys were still there, she roared in annoyance: "You are so shameless-"

"It's because you didn't throw it right, and you can't blame others." He calmly took a sip of his coffee.

Ai Mengmeng thought that the door was still locked by him with a key, so she said to him, "You open the door for me!" ”

Liu Xingchen said coldly: "I have to go if you go, but I have decided not to go just now, if you really want to go......" He patted the sofa next to him: "Sit down obediently and watch TV with me for a while, maybe I will change my mind when I am happy." ”

Ai Mengmeng looked at him in a broken heart, scolding in her heart, neurotic! She looked at the wall clock on the wall, although the time was still early, nearly two hours before seven o'clock, but the old city was jammed as soon as it was time to get off work, he didn't understand the situation at all, and he must have thought that there was a lot of time to spare, Ai Mengmeng didn't want to be late and let everyone wait for herself, even if she didn't know how to do it, she also knew that the food was to try "her own people", and she couldn't help but know how to lift, but she didn't want to grind these trivialities with him. She sat next to him and pretended to watch TV, her eyes glancing at the clock, looking at her phone from time to time, and then looking out of the window that was gradually darkening.

A video was playing on the TV, and Liu Xingchen turned his face to kiss her as soon as there was an intimate scene, and after kissing and kissing, he began to tease his whole body, gradually pressing her under him...... Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and the big black cat jumped onto the coffee table, scratching the vibrating guy with its claws in a strange way. Liu Xingchen pressed Ai Mengmeng to reach for the mobile phone, and found that it was "Mom" calling, sat up in disappointment, and pressed answer: "Hey, Mom......"

The chairman's wife said on the phone, "Son, where are you?" In a moment, on the second floor of the Beauty Hotel, come early, don't be late. ”

Liu Xingchen said: "Mom, who is going to set the wedding banquet in Liying?" ”

The chairman's wife felt that her son's tone was a little blameful, so she hurriedly pushed it to the chairman: "Yes...... It's your dad, he didn't let it be too extravagant, said to find a four-star hotel on the line, and then it was your Aunt Chen who recommended the beautiful shadow, saying that the head office is a five-star environment, four-star price, their relatives used to do it there, and my mother is now here, the environment is not bad, you can come and see. ”

Liu Xingchen said, "Mom, are you over there now?" ”

The chairman's wife asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Xingchen said: "If it's still too late, let's change the hotel." ”

"For ...... Why! The chairman's wife's voice on the phone was obviously a little anxious.

Liu Xingchen said impatiently: "Oh, Mom! The Beauty Hotel is opened by Jiang Hong, and she lives right next to the head office! ”

"Ginger...... Red...... Ginger...... Red ......" The chairman's wife searched for the name in her mind in confusion, and suddenly her head was like a lightning bolt, and her blood pressure suddenly increased: "Oh my God! Son, mom really forgot, mom really didn't mean to......"

Liu Xingchen hurriedly asked, "Is it too late?" ”

The chairman's wife said anxiously: "It's too late!" A lot of people have arrived! ”

"Alas! Forget it! After he finished speaking, he pressed the phone regardless of the line, and the chairman's wife called again, he directly turned off the mobile phone, threw it aside in frustration, and said angrily: "My mother is really! You say she did it on purpose, it doesn't sound like it! You said she didn't mean it, she was only fifty years old and confused about this! Memory is amazingly poor! ”

Ai Mengmeng sat next to him with the big black cat in her arms, two pairs of round eyes stared at him for a moment, and after a while, when he calmed down his grievances a little, Ai Mengmeng asked tentatively: "That...... Can I go? It's six o'clock. ”

Liu Xingchen said: "I'm not going, what are you going to do?" ”

Ai Mengmeng said: "I'm not from your family, I'm from Wujiao's family, okay, and I agreed." ”

Liu Xingchen said: "Then aren't you afraid of running into your mother?" ”

Ai Mengmeng immediately waved her hand: "Don't worry, Jiang Hong won't show up." ”

Liu Xingchen was right, but suddenly remembered that her mother had high blood pressure recently, and the meal just now was enough for her, so she was a little uneasy. He said, "Okay." Ai Mengmeng was just about to stand up and walk, when she heard him say again: "It's still early, do it again and leave." ”

Ai Mengmeng said: "Do you understand! Six o'clock is the rush hour after work, there will be traffic jams, sometimes a block under the overpass is an hour or two, I'm afraid it's too late to leave now, hey, did you listen to me......" He coaxed away the big black cat, pressed it on her, and put his fingers against her lips: "Shhh ”

Ai Mengmeng was pressed on the sofa by him: "I'm going to try the dishes in a while!" Are you going to be the bridegroom's officer? You're so nasty! Hey, wait, Liu Xingchen, I don't want to be molested with you! ”

Liu Xingchen said fiercely: "Isn't it just to try a dish, what's not to do!" I'm ready to come and sleep with you on my wedding night! You have to be obscene with me for the rest of your life, this is what you owe me! ”

The hands of the wall clock are moving towards seven little by little, and Ai Mengmeng's mobile phone keeps flashing Wu Jiao's name, but she can't answer it.

At seven o'clock in the evening, in a luxurious private room on the second floor of the Beauty Shadow Hotel, the guests of both families arrived, Liu Xingchen on the man's side, and Ai Mengmeng on the woman's side. The chairman sat in the middle of the people, looking at the two empty seats, and his face became more and more unbearable. The chairman's wife could not get through her son's mobile phone and could not explain the reason for her son's tardiness, so she was more anxious than anyone else.

Liu Xingchen and Ai Mengmeng were really blocked on the way, Wu Jiao called Ai Mengmeng several times, Ai Mengmeng told her that she was almost there, Wu Jiao was worried that she couldn't find a private room, so she went to the door to pick her up in advance. It wasn't too dark, Wu Jiao was wearing the flesh-pink dress that the chairman's wife bought, standing on tiptoe under the rain at the door, watching one after another red cars that looked like Ai Mengmeng drive by on the road, and watched them go away in disappointment again and again. Originally, she was focusing on the red car, and she suddenly found a big black off-road car driving into the hotel from the intersection, she recognized that it was Liu Xingchen's car, the glass sticker was very black, she still raced against time to glance at the co-pilot's position through the windshield, what made her unbelieve was that the position was not empty, and there was an extremely familiar figure sitting in that position, Ai Mengmeng.

Wu Jiao hurriedly hid behind the large relief pillar, which was thick enough that even her skirt could be completely blocked, she heard the black off-road vehicle drive up the slope and stop at the door, Ai Mengmeng got out of the car, turned back to the people in the car and said, "You wait a while and come in." ”

Liu Xingchen meekly said "um". Wu Jiao stood behind the pillar and heard it clearly, the tone of their voices and the arrangement of appearing in front of them one after the other were enough to prove an ambiguous relationship. Wu Jiao covered her violently fluctuating heartbeat with her hands, worried that it would explode in her chest, she found that she couldn't even move, let alone open her mouth to speak, and actually let them go like this, and then she felt a burst of prostration, leaning against the pillar and slumping on the ground little by little, maybe it was caused by today's new hairstyle and new skirt, and Liu Xingchen didn't recognize her when he drove past the pillar.

Wu Jiao had imagined countless times before what kind of woman his affair was, whether he would be a female liar who saw money, whether he would be a vixen who specialized in destroying marriages, and whether he would be a female hooligan with a chaotic private life...... Whether it was or not, she didn't want to see that woman at all, let alone ask him how much he had, she didn't even want to know who his affair was for the rest of her life, but he and Ai Mengmeng were doing things under her nose, and she didn't even know anything about it!

She didn't know when they got along, she guessed it was after she jumped into the river, because his attitude changed suddenly that day, but she felt something was wrong, and she thought a little further, maybe it was when he was on vacation at the beach, because he didn't touch her anymore since then, and she thought a little further away, maybe before that, he hadn't answered her calls since a long time ago, and she didn't want to ask about it anymore when she had just returned to China...... But some clues involuntarily came to her mind, making her feel suffocated, angry, and disgusted!

At the first class dinner, he listened to Ai Mengmeng talk about his work so carefully that he forgot that there was no soup at all in the soup spoon in his hand, and made a very ridiculous "sheng" action into his bowl; After the classmate dinner, he suddenly disappeared from the world for a week, and then she called Ai Mengmeng, and he miraculously appeared that afternoon; When he was on vacation at the beach, Ai Mengmeng was so sexy in a bikini, he didn't praise it once, which can only show that he has a ghost in his heart; When eating in the high-end restaurant next to the aquarium, they deliberately respected each other like guests, and the forks accidentally touched each other and startled at the same time. And when running a beach race, the way the two of them don't allow others to intervene and reconcile in less than a minute after arguing is not a kind of flirting between lovers? After returning from the trip, he proposed to break up and implied her to have an abortion, because he had Ai Mengmeng, and there was no need for the pregnant "Liu Mengmeng" to be born, and all the contradictions and doubts were explained.

The double destruction of body and mind made Wu Jiao fall into the same despair as when she committed suicide again, her heart fluttering weakly, she tried to open her mouth to pant but could only inhale very little oxygen, and the feeling of quadriplegia was worse than death.

At this moment, Ai Mengmeng found the private room under the guidance of the hostess, the time was a quarter past seven, fortunately it was not too late. As soon as the door opened, her eyes quickly swept around the room, the huge dining table was in place, Wu Jiao was not among them, the atmosphere was a little awkward, the elders talked to each other, and no one recognized Ai Mengmeng.

Wu Jiao's sister thinks she looks a little familiar - Ai Mengmeng is wearing a white long T-shirt today, because her body bones are particularly thin, this dress is worn by her to pull up and throw off the gown, it may be fashionable in the eyes of young people, but it doesn't match today's occasion, the lower body is a pair of slender black jeans with wedge sandals, the slender legs look straight and symmetrical, and she is holding a thin leather bag in her hand, which is more than a foot long, enough to put down small bits and pieces such as keys, mobile phones, and coin purses. The short puffy head was permed and raised in unison, making her head look big, giving the impression that she was standing alone in the wind, her withered yellow hair didn't look very carefree, perhaps due to a mistake by the barber, a pair of eyes that obviously lacked sleep, one was covered in shadow by a long curtain on one side, and the other was exposed, her eyes lowered, as if she was doing self-examination, or she might be too lazy to pay attention to people.

Wu Jiao's sister took the initiative to come over and talk to her: "Are you ...... Ai Mengmeng, right? ”

Ai Mengmeng said, "Well, yes. ”

"Sit down here."

Ai Mengmeng saw her take a two- or three-year-old boy away from his seat and make a chair for herself, Ai Mengmeng hurriedly said, "No need......"

Sister Wu Jiao said: "It's okay, you can sit, children can't sit still." ”

Ai Mengmeng asked, "What about Wu Jiao?" ”

"Went to the bathroom. You are...... A delicate high school classmate? ”

Ai Mengmeng sat down and said, "Hmm." ”

"Then you and Xingchen are also classmates?"

"Well, yes."

Sister Wu Jiao teased her: "Hehe, then which side are you from this time?" ”

Ai Mengmeng said: "Of course it's Wu Jiao's side, I'm at the same table as her, Liu Xingchen...... It's a transfer student, and I ...... with him Not very cooked. ”

Sister Wu Jiao smiled and nodded: "Oh, that's the case." ”

Ai Mengmeng smiled at her unnaturally: "I'll go see Wu Jiao." ”

As soon as she opened the door, she almost bumped into Liu Xingchen, the two of them didn't say anything, they separated, one went out and one entered, the people in the room didn't notice this, and all their attention was attracted by Liu Xingchen's appearance. The chairman's wife mentioned that a heart in her throat and eyes finally fell to her stomach, and she quickly counted her son from head to toe to find some psychological balance for her in-laws.

Liu Xingchen stared at the door, eager to punch a hole in it with his eyes, wanting to see where Ai Mengmeng had gone. He couldn't chase him out immediately when he came, so he sat patiently on the chair for a while, and it was only a short time before he was exhausted, and Wu Jiao didn't notice it at all. He found that the time that he could endure Ai Mengmeng left his sight was very short, just a few minutes seemed like a few years, he decided to pretend to go out to answer the phone, just took out his mobile phone, a narrow figure flashed into the crack of the door, Ai Mengmeng said to Sister Wu Jiao at the door: "Wu Jiao is not in the bathroom, where is there a bathroom?" ”

At this moment, Wu Jiao came back, her face was very pale, and her expression was very strange, even the careless Ai Mengmeng could see it, maybe everyone was confused, but no one wanted to be the first to break the festive atmosphere to ask what happened.
