22. Giving up is only in one thought (two more)

As Liang Ju guessed, Yu Yanjie's parents quietly went to the court to get a divorce last month.

When Yu Yanjie told Liang Ju everything, she just hugged the quilt and lay on the bed at Liang Ju's cousin's house with her back to her.

In a hoarse voice, she said everything flatly.

Under the moonlight, Liang Ju sat behind Yu Yanjie, watching this lively girl lying there quietly with her back to her, a piece of moonlight sprinkled on her body, hiding her previous optimism and cheerfulness.

People learn to grow after experience, and every experience will bring us different sharp changes.

Liang Ju didn't have the right to speak, she just listened carefully to Yu Yanjie's story as a bystander.

Suddenly, she wanted to be alone.

I remembered that not long ago, I had heard many rumors about that person.

When I was working in North Star, those waiters liked to discuss gossip in private, most of which were about Mao Dong.

Some people say that he is an orphan who started from scratch and has today's North Star, some people say that he once did not sleep for three days and three nights just for a business, and some people say that he once drank himself in the hospital for more than a month because of entertainment.

Liang Ju heard more about the matter between him and Zhong Ling, as well as about his eldest brother.

They said, "He killed his eldest brother."

Outside the window, a full moon hangs in the dark night sky, and the night lights are still dappled under the endless sky.

She refused to believe all the rumors.

I thought of the man's focused dark eyes, of the indifference with which he saw through YiqiΔ“, and the gaze with which he couldn't see the expression when he looked at her.

At this moment, Liang Ju suddenly believed that she was really in love with this man, this mature man.

He could always make her think of him when she was helpless, and silently remember his face when she was alone.

Today her friend was injured, she was sad, and he was still the first person to think of.

Count Mao Dong, they have been gone for many days, and they don't know what they are doing at this time.

Hugging the quilt, he sighed softly. She misses him, she misses him.

Yu Yanjie turned over on the bed and put the quilt on her body again, "I'm sleepy." ”

"Then go to bed and rest early." Liang Ju turned off the lamp for her.

This girl, in this great change in the family, has undoubtedly become the biggest victim.

If Yu's mother's betrayal of her father may be just because her feelings do not exist, and the past love is lost under the stimulation of a new relationship, then Gao Ruoluo's abandonment of Yanjie is undoubtedly a mother's abandonment of her own children.

This is about the betrayal of family affection, the negation of flesh and blood.

A biological mother's lack of attachment to her child is the biggest abandonment in the world.

Liang Ju got out of bed and quietly closed the door, she left the entire room to Yu Yanjie, giving her an independent space to heal her wounds.

No one is Yu Yanjie, so no one can understand her pain.

The shower just now had already stopped, and Liang Ju sat on the sofa in the living room and opened the curtains, looking out the window at the night.

At the end of the window are the endless mountains, and behind the mountains, there is another city, where ordinary people like them live, and countless ordinary families.

If her mother abandoned herself and her father and formed a new family, would she, Liang Ju, be able to bear it?

Thinking of his mother with a strong personality and his father who has always been docile and kind, Liang Ju smiled.

Although her mother has a strong temper, she loves her father very much, even more than her.

Mother would always tell Liang Ju that she would rely on Liang's father when she was old. When people get married and start a family, they just hope that when they get old and their children and grandchildren start a family, there will be someone around them who can talk to their hearts. Mother often jokes that she doesn't expect Liang Ju to take care of their two elders in the future, but only hopes that Liang Ju can marry her well, and as for her and Liang's father, the two of them will rely on each other until they grow old.

Dependent on each other, to old age?

Who will be the one who will grow old with Liang Ju? Will you love her so much?

Liang Ju thought, living with a person for decades until the end of her life, can she also do something like Yu's mother? Will she also abandon her husband and children in the next few decades, because of a strange man?

No, she won't.

An inexplicable feeling unconsciously quietly entwined her heart, and Liang Ju suddenly had a sense of fear about marriage.

Even she herself is afraid that she can't wait for a relationship to grow old, so what about the person in the future?

Outside the window, a little starlight appeared in the dark sky. The whole galaxy is vast, what the other side of the universe will look like, what her future will look like.

She didn't know if she could find someone who was willing to live with her, and would she give up the whole garden for her flower?

With a poof, Liang Ju laughed.

When did she become so sentimental, she shook her head, she thought, she can't drive all future ignorance to the bad side because of Yu Yanjie's affairs.

She believed in herself, in that love.

Although the past two relationships have left her bruised, she still believes that there will be such a person who is worthy of her life to love for a lifetime.

Could he be Mao Dong?

Tomorrow's sun will rise as always, and the night will become a thing of the past, she is so young and has a lot of hope, she believes that Yu Yanjie will also get better.

There was a sudden burst of longing in her heart, she missed her mother very much, missed her father, and missed the small but warm home of their family of three.

Liang Ju decided that she would go home tomorrow during the day when there was no class.

When he went to brush his teeth, Liang Ju heard his mobile phone ringing.

It was a text message from Shar Pei, who hadn't been in touch for a few days.

"It's been a few days since I returned to Qihai City, don't miss me too much."

Liang Ju smiled, the toothpaste in her mouth was sprayed on the screen of her mobile phone, and she quickly put down her mobile phone to rinse her mouth.

Wiping her mouth with a towel, suddenly, she put the cup in her hand.

He said that they, that is, Shar Pei did not come back alone.

There should still be him.

***

Heavy rain in Guangzhou for many days, a batch of fabrics from Mao Dong need to be processed in a short period of time, he found a manufacturer in Guangzhou, but promised to provide them with the source of goods The manufacturer's warehouse was hit by the torrential rain, the landslide slided, and many goods were buried in the soil, because some raw materials need to be waterproof and moisture-proof, but the manufacturer privately replaced the high-priced waterproof materials with low-cost inferior materials, and all the materials were damp, so it can be said that almost all the goods were lost.

If the fabric cannot be shipped on time, then Mao Dong is tantamount to a breach of contract, and the compensation will be several times the cost, which is basically equal to fatal.

Mao Dong can't hide from this hurdle.

After running for many days, Mao Dong returned to the hotel tired in the early hours of the morning.

A-Yuan made him a cup of coffee, but he just took a sip and couldn't drink it anymore. Since the accident, he has been supporting his body almost every day on coffee, and now when he smells it, his stomach is churning and he wants to vomit.

"You go to sleep first." He told Ah Yuan.

"I'm okay, I'm not sleepy." A-Yuan sat on a chair next to the sofa in the living room.

Shar Pei slept soundly in the bedroom, Mao Dong pushed the door and glanced at it, and closed the door again.

"Brother, don't you tell SΓΉ Shapi about this?" A-Yuan asked him.

Mao Dong half-lay on the sofa and lit a cigarette, the cigarette butt between his fingers turned scarlet as he smoked.

"Don't sue him for the time being, this kid is in a hurry, I'm afraid of causing trouble."

"Brother, those people changed all our materials, and now they're all gone?"

Flicking the cigarette ash, Mao Dong said: "One runs faster than the other." ”

The ashtray next to the bedside was full of cigarette butts.

Ah Yuan looked at him silently, he was a big man who couldn't tell Mao Dong in a rambling way like a woman, he couldn't help it, so he said, "Brother, you pay attention to your body." ”

Mao Dong looked at the ceiling and squinted half-squinted, took a puff of cigarette and spit out the smoke ring.

"You said this hurdle, can we cross it?"

A-Yuan sat there with his head bowed, constantly flipping through the cover of his phone.

"We haven't seen any strong winds and waves, that's nothing."

In the smoke, Mao Dong squinted, the green stubble around his mouth was obvious, and the whole person was slightly vicissitudes.

The room was quiet and only the smell of nicotine remained, and A-Yuan heard Mao Dong let out a long breath.

"How to hide? The cost of this batch of materials alone is almost equal to the entire North Star. ”

He signed a dead contract with his partner, and once he failed to deliver the goods in time, the amount of money that needed to be compensated would be fatal to Mao Dong.

"Brother, it's really not good, let's sell Beixing, it's a big deal, ten years later, we will be a good man again!"

Mao Dong smiled bitterly, "This is not like what you said, only Sha Pei's kid can say it." ”

The cigarette in his hand became shorter and shorter unconsciously, and for some time, Mao Dong said slowly: "Beixing is reserved for Ah Ling, and no one can move it." ”

Hearing Ah Ling's words, Ah Yuan's body stiffened.

"A-Yuan." Mao Dong called him.

Ah Yuan raised his eyes and saw Mao Dong sitting against the light, his whole expression hidden in the light.

Mao Dong looked at A-Yuan for a while, but he still didn't ask what he wanted to say.

***

The next day Liang Ju went to work in Beixing, she had just finished changing her clothes, she heard a sound of footsteps behind her, and when she turned around, she saw two young waiters at the same time holding hands with each other while walking and chatting, and came in from outside the door.

"Have you heard, there is continuous heavy rain over there in Guangzhou?" The tall girl is called Meimei.

"I've heard that there are landslides in many places, and the news has been reported every day these days!" Another girl with a round face is the foreman's cousin, surnamed Yang, with a single name and a Qian.

Mei Mei asked: "What does the heavy rain in Guangzhou have to do with us?" ”

"You're stupid, you don't know that our big boss's business is over there!"

Liang Ju's hand holding the cabinet door stiffened, listening carefully to the discussion between the two behind him.

Yang Qian looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else except Liang Ju, so she said to Mei Mei: "I also heard from Master Li in the back kitchen, the big boss's business seems to have been damaged!" ”

"Ah, really?" Mei Mei covered her mouth in disbelief.

Liang Ju couldn't listen to it, closed the cabinet door heavily, and put the water bottle on the wooden table in the changing room.

Although she is a newcomer, she is easy-going and can get along with everyone, and the two girls do not shy away from her.

Yang Qian whispered: "I also heard that Sister Ling is actually our big boss's sister-in-law!" ”

"Ahh Mei Mei took a heavy breath, "It's really fake, it's incredible!" So, our big boss has always been so good to Sister Ling for his brother? But why do I think our sister Ling is interesting to the big boss? ”

The two of them chatted and went down the stairs, Liang Ju couldn't help it, turned around towards them suddenly, and startled the two of them.

"Orange, you're curious about this, aren't you?" Mei Mei smiled and looked at Liang Ju.

As soon as Liang Ju wanted to say a few words to them, he saw Gillian hurriedly turn in from the door and run downstairs.

"Is something wrong?" Liang Ju stepped forward and asked her.

Gillian saw that several of them were also in the changing room, she was stunned at first, and then smiled, "No, I'm just in a hurry to come back and change my clothes." ”

Yang Qian let go of Mei Mei beside her, walked to Gillian and grabbed her arm, "Sister Jiao, I heard that the big boss's business in Guangzhou has a problem, is it true!" ”

Gillian's gaze swept over the faces of several of them, and she lowered her eyes slightly and took out her wardrobe key from her pocket.

"I don't know, but you don't have to worry too much, even if there is something, it's not our business."

"How can it be none of our business, in case something happens to the bar, then we can find ourselves a home!"

Yang Qian approached Gillian and whispered, "I heard that the boss is going to sell North Star!" ”

"Nonsense!" Gillian had a cold face, "If you listen to Sister Ling, you will have a good look." ”

Liang Ju turned around and rubbed the teacup on the table, feeling a little uneasy.

Gillian changed her coat and walked out of the changing room, and before leaving, she turned around and told a few of them, "This is the workplace, you still have to keep your mouth shut, don't talk too much." ”

After she left, Mei Mei opened the wardrobe with a 'bang', trying to drown out her own voice with the sound of the closet door.

"Tell you secretly, if something really happens to the big boss's business, I'll lose a lot of money."

Her voice was low, but when she heard Liang Ju, she was shocked in her heart, and she didn't know if what she said was true or not. "Are you sure?"

Mei Mei glanced at her and sneered: "You are also an intern, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Yang Qian took out a bag of potato chips from the closet, tore open the bag with a stabbing sound, and the potato chips chewed with a clattering sound. "If something happens, let's not even think about running."

There was another sound of footsteps at the staircase, Liang Ju turned his head to look, and saw the manager on duty running in panting, "Orange, hurry, the guests outside are fighting, go out and help!" ”

Seeing that the manager on duty was out of breath, Liang Ju hurriedly put down the water bottle and hurriedly ran out.

***

Since the last time she quarreled with Mao Dong over the transfer of shares in the bar, Zhong Ling's relationship with him has been lukewarm, although Mao Dong doesn't have too much to say, and he will come over from time to time to take a look, but Zhong Ling always feels that there are some things in his heart.

After hesitating for a few days, he didn't call Mao Dong directly, but called Ah Yuan.

Ah Yuan was quite surprised when he saw her call, "Sister Ling? ”

"A-Yuan, it's me." The voice on his side was a little noisy, Zhong Ling closed the door of his office, and Ah Yuan's voice was very loud. "How's going on over there, is business still going well?"

Ah Yuan seemed to come out of the noise and didn't know where to go, Zhong Ling heard a sound similar to the door closing, and the surroundings instantly became quiet.

"Sister Ling, is something happening to Beixing?"

"No, North Star's business has been very good, there has been no news from you in the past few days, I can't sit still, so I'll think about it and ask."

"You can ask my brother directly!"

"I'm afraid to disturb him."

Ah Yuan was on the train at this time, Mao Dong and Sha Pei were sleeping in the sleeper, he saw that it was Zhong Ling's phone and got out of the car, passed through the crowded aisle, and went to the bathroom.

He hid in the toilet and made it easier for him to make phone calls.

"Are things still going well? When will you be back? ”

Faced with Zhong Ling's questioning, Ah Yuan was reluctant to tell her too much about everything, because Mao Dong had told Zhong Ling that this matter could not be known to Zhong Ling.

But in the face of Zhong Ling, Ah Yuan couldn't hide it all.

"Sister Ling, we're all fine, it's just a little errand, my brother and I are already on the train now, and we'll be in Qihai early the day after tomorrow."

"You're back!" Zhong Ling was so excited that she almost knocked over the water glass on the desk.

"Well, tonight's train, the train just left."

"Do you say Xiaochachi, Yan zhΓ²ng?"

"It's not very good."

"How bad?" Zhong Ling's heart tightened.

Seeing that Ah Yuan was silent, Zhong Ling said again: "I am also concerned about my work, public and private, I should know." ”

"Sister Ling, don't embarrass me, Brother Mao doesn't want you to know that he has his own reasons."

Knowing Ah Yuan's usual work habits, as long as Mao Dong doesn't let him say it, he won't reveal half a point, and letting Zhong Ling know that something happened to Mao Dong is already Ah Yuan's biggest bottom line.

"Sister Ling." Ah Yuan said again, but his tone was a little sluggish. "If my brother really needs your help, Sister Ling, count me Ah Yuan begging you, help my brother."

Ah Yuan's words made Zhong Ling completely aware of the severity of the matter.

Zhong Ling can help Mao Dong, in addition to having the ownership of the North Star, what else is there?

She is a smart person and heard what Ah Yuan meant, but how strict the matter is, she can only ask him in person when Mao Dong comes back.
