Chapter 577: Do it yourself
After Xiao Ai left in a hurry, I faced this table alone with a meal that was not too much, but enough for two people to eat, and I immediately lost my appetite. Then I got up and dumped the food in the trash. It's kind of an outlet, because I hate myself in my heart.
Leaving the living room where I was eating, I stood on the rooftop and looked at most of the city of Nanjing. Although I knew in my heart that the city was changing every day, at night there was no difference, except for the flickering lights, which was the elusive human heart in the dark......
I am powerless, because I can't stand on the knife of profit to change those who have gone astray. Then the only weapon I have at my disposal is the law. If one day, I really sent Zhao Mu to prison with my own hands, I will not regret it, but I will hate myself.
There are no people in this world who are born bad, if it weren't for me, Zhao Mu might not be lonely and unable to feel the warmth of family affection.
I closed my eyes, lit a cigarette, and completely cleared myself. I was in this state for an hour, but it didn't bring me a sense of calm. I have asked myself more than once, if those who stand in our way will one day no longer affect our lives, will it be much easier?
I felt relaxed, but it was only for a moment. Because I know what the price is behind getting this ease.
When I opened my eyes, the world was presented to me in its truest form, and I knew that facing it was my only way out. Perhaps, Zhao Mu is not what I think, he must be calculating, but he may not necessarily do that kind of crazy thing in order to achieve his goal.
I stood quietly for a while, then cleaned up the cigarette butts I was smoking, and then drove to the hotel where Xiao Ai was eating. Before she left, I told her that I would pick her up.
Yes, the only thing that can relieve my fatigue now is our small family.
……
After driving the car to the hotel near "Jinding Real Estate", I began a long wait......
Another hour passed, and I saw a familiar face walking out of the hotel, and then I found Xiao Ai surrounded by the crowd, and Zhao Mu was on her left.
This kind of Xiao Ai gave me some strangeness, because her arrogant appearance had long been ingrained in my heart, but now she has gradually learned to deal with these complex interpersonal relationships.
I opened the car door and walked towards Xiao Ai, the crowd around her also dispersed in the next moment, I greeted the businessmen one by one with a disgusting smile, and after they left, only Xiao Ai, Zhao Mu and me were left on the scene.
There seems to be a seriousness and solemnity of karma in the atmosphere. The first person to break the silence was Zhao Mu, who smiled and said to me: "Today's celebration dinner of our Jinding Real Estate can be said to be inclusive, and it is not only the heroes of our group who come to participate, but also many people from the society...... Brother Qiao, but why didn't you appreciate your face? ”
I looked at him, smiled as well, and asked, "Whose merit is celebrating?" ”
Zhao Mu's face sank suddenly, and he looked at me with a not very friendly gaze, because among the people present, none of them would be able to understand the meaning of my words better than him, and his achievements today were only obtained by stepping on Li Zishan, who pulled him in one hand, and in this regard, it was already very disgraceful.
I tried to persuade him to turn back, but he raised the butcher's knife in his hand higher and higher, and his target was me, as he had already demonstrated.
At this time, Xiao Ai walked to my side and said, "Go back and rest, I'm really tired today...... After speaking, she called out to the assistant who had walked to her car, and then said to her: "Yiting, from tomorrow, stop all the work I do, I want to rest for three days and attend a friend's wedding." ”
"Okay, I'll help you put off all three days of work."
Xiao Ai nodded, and I took another step in front of Zhao Mu, I took out a wedding invitation that had been prepared a long time ago from my pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Tomorrow is the wedding of Wu Lei and Gu Lin, this is the wedding invitation...... You should have heard of Wu Lei, almost three years ago, he handled the case of the fire in our piano shop, but then unfortunately there was a car accident, and he has not woken up until today. In the past three years, it was his girlfriend Gu Lin who took care of him...... It is said that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, let alone a girlfriend who has never been through the door! However, Gu Lin did not fall in this endless torture, she still chose to marry Wu Lei at the most hopeless time...... I thought, this is true love, right? ”
Zhao Mu didn't say anything, I handed the invitation to him again, and said again: "This kind of spirit is really rare in our current society of seeking benefits and weighing everything, so I especially hope that my friends around me can take a look, and maybe they will have a new understanding of the pursuit of life." ”
Zhao Mu looked directly at me, and then took the wedding invitation from my hand. Suddenly, he smiled at me and said, "I'm going to go to the wedding, because I really want to see how a person can do it from the beginning...... I admire such a person, but Jiang Qiao ...... You are not among my admirers, because for Chen Yi, you are the one who has been abandoned from the beginning...... For the past two days, I've been wondering, how the hell did you do it? But you are you after all, how can I, an outsider, understand your mind? But what you did was not decent enough, and everyone can see it...... I only hope that one day when you face Chen Yi, you won't regret it. ”
Xiao Ai's complexion was a little ugly, which also directly affected my mood. Regarding Chen Yi, it is indeed a thorn in Xiao Ai's heart and a scar in my heart.
I finally opened my mouth and said to Zhao Mu: "When you bring Chen Yi out again and again to slander me, I also hope that you can do it yourself...... The saying that good and evil will be rewarded in the end has been said for thousands of years, and it must be reasonable. ”
Zhao Mu was unmoved, he smiled and replied, "Can you define good and evil?" …… I, Zhao Mu, can have all this today, with my own talents and opportunities, I am worthy of my conscience, I don't need to be responsible for anyone, as well as the good and evil you said. ”
This time, I didn't choose to respond to him, and after taking one look at him, I walked over to the car parked not far away with Xiao Ai.
On the way back, Xiao Ai and I didn't have any kind of communication with Zhao Mu, so we were silent all the way...... To be honest, it makes me feel bad. I hope that Xiao Ai can get out of the quagmire of "Jinding Real Estate" as soon as possible, even if she still goes to the music industry to develop, but she can't say the words when she comes to her lips.
Even though we are already legally recognized husband and wife, I do not want to interfere with her freedom in the name of family and love.
……
The next day, Xiao Ai and I got up at five o'clock, we washed up together, had breakfast together, and then she went to Gu Lin's house, and I went to the hotel, and the staff controlled the wedding scene. According to incomplete statistics, there will be more than 1,000 people who come to the wedding scene today, and how to place these people well is definitely not an easy job.
Qiao Ye was entrusted by me to go to the hospital with his assistant to pick up Wu Lei, and then go to Gu Lin's house, everything was in accordance with traditional customs.
Halfway through, I called Qiao Ye, and he told me that except for being stopped by the residents in the community once, Gu Lin's house was not troubled at all. It's just that it was Gu Lin's parents who made the people present feel sad. The old couple silently shed a lot of tears, but Gu Lin kept a smile on her face from beginning to end.
At about half past ten, the convoy arrived at the hotel. Fortunately, today was a particularly sunny day, and the wind blew well, which did not make people feel uncomfortable, but also raised the colorful flags at the wedding scene, making the atmosphere look very good.
Some of the people who come to the wedding dress very casually, while others are very formal. Especially those colleagues of Wu Lei and Gu Lin, they all wore police uniforms. I know that this is a tribute to Wu Lei, because what he cares about most is his police career. That's why so many of his brothers and sisters who have fought alongside him today come to his wedding in such a way. It's also a kind of happiness when you think about it.
At this time, Chen Yi, who had been putting on makeup backstage, also stepped onto the stage in the spotlight of everyone. This time, she didn't choose to use a script. She said that respecting the inner feelings and playing on the spot is the greatest respect for this wedding.
Although there is a certain risk, I support her to do this, and I think the same as hers, because in my eyes, this is also a wedding that should not be regulated by convention, it represents the release and encouragement of human nature.
Chen Yi was not in a hurry to start, she looked around, and then found me in the crowd, she gave me an inquiring look, and after I signaled that I could start, she took the microphone from the assistant's hand.
I knew there were some emotions I shouldn't have, but I couldn't help but think about the weddings we had together a few years ago. At that time, she had just graduated from college, and she was not yet the focus of the TV station, and the hosting fee for each wedding was only about 10,000 yuan, but as long as she cooperated with me, she would give me half of it. She joked that the money was happy money, and it would be distributed to my daughter-in-law in the future.
I accepted it, but later, without her consent, I used the few dollars to sponsor a few poor students. Now it seems that if she loved me at that time, the money was exactly the dowry she gave me in advance, and there was a desire to say goodbye...... I think the biggest regret between me and her is that we didn't love impulsively when we were in our youth.
Once, I was really a man who was oppressed by life to the point that he had completely lost his self-confidence and responsibility.
Now, I'm happy, but what about her? When will we be able to lift our feet and leave those of the past behind?
……
In a trance, Ade, who I hadn't seen for a long time, appeared in front of me, and there was another old acquaintance by his side, that is, Lin Ziqing, who had dinner with me when I went to Taipei to find Xiao Ai two years ago. At that time, she was Ade's favorite woman, and three years later, she is still the same.
I said to them full of surprise: "Originally, I just sent you a message, and I didn't hope that you would come, but I didn't expect you to really come." ”
Ade said to me with a smug smile: "Of course I will come to roar, because Ziqing and I are both people who believe in love, not to mention that you are such a good friend of ours...... Seriously, if it weren't for your encouragement, I really wouldn't have had the courage to pursue a love with such an obvious gap! ”
I looked at him, and then at Lin Ziqing and smiled, sometimes the fate between people is so wonderful. At the beginning, if it weren't for Xiao Ai, I really wouldn't have gone to Taipei, let alone live in Ade's "Ade Hotel" by accident, if I said that I was guilty of dragging down Zhao Chu and Zhao Mu's family in my life, the love between Ade and Lin Ziqing is my merit. I hope that I can offset the merits and demerits, so that I and the people around me can get out of the sea of suffering.
I said to Ade, "Look, you're here, and you don't notify me in advance, so I can arrange a hotel for you." ”
Ademan said to me nonchalantly, "Oh, don't bother...... We all know that you are very busy right now, and it is really happy to have such an opportunity to come to Nanjing to see you old friends! After a slight pause, he asked me again, "Ruyi, why haven't you seen her roar all the time?" ”
"She's backstage with the bride...... Do you have any good news for us? ”
Adela grabbed Lin Ziqing's hand beside him, and then put it in front of my eyes. On their hands, they carry very delicate engagement rings, which are worth a lot of money at first glance.
Ade is undoubtedly a lucky man, and a man who is willing to struggle. Over the years, he has not only done a lot of inns with a good reputation in Taiwan, but also in China, and for those who play with concepts and virtual capital, he has made real money.
The most valuable thing is that Lin Ziqing did not choose him after he became rich. In fact, in the early days of his business, Lin Ziqing was already by his side.
Ade is a mediocre-looking man, but his experience is worth emulating for most ordinary men, because he has overcome many congenital disadvantages and has been facing life seriously with the healthiest mentality. And of all my friends, he was the one who never complained, and I think that was the most valuable character in him. Because not complaining, bowing your head and doing it, it seems simple, but it is something that the vast majority of our young people can't do.
I smiled and asked them, "Look at you like this, are you going to get married?" ”
"It's a roar, it's a roar...... On the 26th of next month, it will be our wedding day, and you and Xiao Aike must come to participate. ”
Lin Ziqing also looked at me with Ade, and then smiled...... At this moment, my heart was full of envy for them, because they handled such a complicated love so simply, which is the last ability I have ever had.
At this wedding, the arrival of Ade and Lin Ziqing was really like a clear stream, moistening my heart and spleen. But the next moment, I saw Yu Xin, who I hadn't seen for a long time, in another corner, and Zhao Mu was standing on the edge of the wedding stage opposite her......
A wedding that transcends the world, but what I see is the state of life!
