In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and I, who had not done physical work for a long time, were also busy with the staff who set up the stage. It wasn't until the evening that it was idle, and a relatively simple stage was built. Of course, I hope that the stage in this hall is not needed, because I prefer to have a big open-air wedding the day after tomorrow.

After staying alone on the stage for a while, I put on my coat and prepared to leave the hotel, I wanted to mobilize Gu Lin's parents, hoping that they could attend Gu Lin and Wu Lei's wedding the day after tomorrow. Originally, I had given up on this idea, but when the wedding was really approaching, I felt more and more that without the second elder, Gu Lin would feel uncomfortable after all, although she didn't say anything.

After getting in the car, I hesitated to call Chen Yi. I, a gay man, went to Gu Lin's parents' house to do ideological work, no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit presumptuous, but it is much easier to talk about it when there is a girl who can speak well.

If Xiao Ai is here, of course, she is the most suitable person, but now that she is not there, Chen Yi can take on this important responsibility, after all, she is also one of the executors of the wedding.

When I was thinking about it, my mobile phone rang, and I picked it up and looked at it, it was Chen Yi calling.

I answered the phone, and she said to me, "Jiang Qiao, there is something I have thought about and I think I still have to discuss with you...... You say, shouldn't we do the ideological work of Gu Lin's parents, if they didn't go to the wedding, it would definitely be a big pity for Gu Lin...... I met with her this morning, and when I accidentally talked about her parents, her mood instantly dropped, and I felt really uncomfortable looking at her like this. ”

I can't say that this is a kind of heart-wrenching, but I did want to go together, and after a moment of silence, I replied, "I was thinking about this just now, so let's go and see it together." ”

"Well, where are you?"

"I'm in the hotel, and this afternoon I set up a temporary wedding stage in Hall 2, I'm afraid that if it rains the day after tomorrow, I can't get the outdoor wedding."

Chen Yi sighed and said, "You are really doing your best!" After a moment's pause, she added, "I'll go over to you, and if the road isn't blocked, it will take twenty minutes at most." ”

I answered, and Chen Yi hung up the phone. The next moment, I got out of the car and sat by the fountain, watching the sunset in the distance.

Yes, after a day of rain, the sky finally cleared up in the evening, and the temperature climbed several degrees. I lit a cigarette and closed my eyes, and my mind was filled with some beautiful images, and these are the feelings that can only be felt after saying goodbye to the rainy weather.

I opened my eyes and gently exhaled the smoke from my mouth, I wished that time could be suspended at this moment, for I was already a little drunk in the afterglow of the setting sun and the sound of the water in the fountain, and for the first time I felt that even being alone was not necessarily a pleasure.

……

After about twenty minutes, Chen Yi appeared in front of me on time, and she asked me very concernedly, "Do you know where Gu Lin's parents live?" ”

"Yes, I inquired...... They also live on Danfeng Street, which is quite close to your TV station and your new home. ”

Chen Yi looked at me, and only replied after a while: "I came from the stage just now, I knew that I was waiting for you over there, why did I go to the hotel to find you so hard." ”

"Isn't it the same for me, I don't know you're in the stage!" With that, I changed the subject and asked her, "Now that you are back to work in Taili, you are so close to home, do you often go back to see your parents?" ”

"They have their lives, I have mine, why go back so often?"

"It's just a passing thing, and you don't need to make a special trip to it."

Chen Yi looked at me with a slightly complicated gaze, and she replied: "Let's go back to eat once a week, sometimes they will go back to the demolition compensation house here to sit and sit...... I think that's good, why do two generations have to tie their lives together! ”

I nodded, and Chen Yi opened his car door, motioning for me to hurry up and do our business.

……

When we came to Danfeng Street, we parked the car outside the door of the community, and then found Gu Lin's parents' home according to the address we had heard in advance, but there was no one at home. However, this did not affect our mood, because when we came, we did not think that it would go well.

Chen Yi and I stood at the door of the community and waited. After about twenty minutes, Chen Yi's father, Chen Anzhi, led a golden retriever dog from the west intersection to this side, I subconsciously looked at Chen Yi beside me, and she also found Chen Anzhi.

Chen Anzhi came to us, I first called him "uncle", and then looked at the golden retriever he was holding and asked him, "Is this your dog?" Pretty big! ”

Chen Anzhi smiled and replied, "I've been raising this dog for almost a year...... When people are old, they are particularly afraid of boredom, and it is good to raise a dog to relieve boredom. ”

"That's good."

I teased the golden retriever as I spoke, and after Chen Anzhi was idle for a while, he asked me, "Is your mother okay?" ”

"The treatment in the hospital is all over. The doctor said that as long as it is well maintained, it will be no different from a normal person in the future......

Chen Anzhi nodded, his gaze shifted to Chen Yi's body again, and he said to Chen Yi in a low voice: "Child, can you go home and sit down when you have time?" Mom and Dad won't nag you, they just want to talk to you...... People live for a day, this knot always has to be untied, look at you like this now, your mother and I are really uncomfortable! ”

"I've already told you that I won't do it again, I don't hate you, and I don't have a knot...... I'm not going back because I'm so busy with work, and if you have time to sit with me, I'd welcome you. ”

Chen An sighed softly, he looked at Chen Yi without saying anything, and after a while, he turned to me and said, "Jiang Qiao, can you talk to my uncle alone?" ”

Chen Yi glared at me and made it clear that I was not allowed to chat with his father alone. However, Chen Anzhi's eyes looked at me almost begging, and I had no way to refuse, so I said to Chen Yi comfortingly: "Give men a little space for dialogue between men, okay?" Soon fine. ”

Chen Yi replied dissatisfiedly: "I don't care what you like, how you like." ”

……

Chen Anzhi and I stood under a plane tree next to the community, and he said to me: "Actually, I don't say it, you should also know what I am looking for you for." Originally, I didn't have the face to talk to you, but when I met today, I took it as a chance that God gave me......"

I looked at him in silence.

Chen Anzhi avoided my gaze from looking at him, and then asked me, "Jiang Qiao, do you think it was really a wrong behavior for your uncle to oppose you being together back then?" After a slight pause, he asked, "What would you do if you were standing in my place?" ”

I didn't rush to answer, I just said, "You should know, I have a younger sister...... If you talk about family conditions alone, there are really not many people who are better than her...... She has also fallen in love recently, and the boy is from our Nanjing, and the family conditions can only be said to be average. My mom was against it at first, and I didn't approve of it, but I quickly saw it. If the boy has a good character and is self-motivated, then why not give him a chance? After a pause, I added, "Actually, the view of the portal is really harmful, but I can understand you, because it is only a manifestation of universal values...... If I don't have a similar experience, I can empathize. I'm afraid I'll make the same choice as you. ”

"It's good to understand......"

After a long silence, Chen Anzhi spoke to me again and asked, "How are you and that girl doing now?" ”

"We've got a marriage license...... There will be a wedding at the end of this year...... If my uncle is free, please come to our wedding for a glass of wine. ”

Chen Anzhi looked at me, and for a moment he seemed to be much older, and finally he just patted me on the shoulder and whispered: "Although you and Chen Yi grew up together, you really don't know her...... She dares to say anything in front of you, but in private she is the most invisible, the most vulnerable...... The cultivation of her character must be difficult for us as parents to blame. But I also want to beg you, to ask you to keep a proper distance from her...... All right? ”

After Chen Anzhi's words were finished, I subconsciously looked at Chen Yi, she didn't seem to have any special emotions, she stood there, she looked much more temperamental than ordinary women, but in the mood outside of this temperament, I suddenly couldn't see through it because of what Chen Anzhi said.

After a long time, I explained, "Uncle, we don't have as much contact as you think. This time, it's only because we have a special wedding together that we sometimes make an appointment to meet...... We are here today to meet the woman's parents and hope that they can go to the wedding. ”

Chen Anzhi looked at me, and then looked at Chen Yi on the other side, he didn't speak again, and then he untied the chain and led the golden retriever to another intersection.

I stood there for a moment before I walked over to Chen Yi's side. She didn't ask me anything, but just said to me, "Just listen to what my dad said, don't take it to heart." ”

"You know what he told me?"

Chen Yi laughed and replied, "What else can he say besides those?" ……”

She stopped, her face suddenly became very serious, and she said to me again: "Jiang Qiao, since I met my dad today, I will also tell you the truth. If between us, I have no regrets at all, it is false, I also used to cry secretly in the middle of the night. However, my divorce or disacceptance of Qiu Zi'an is definitely not because of you...... I'm an adult, and I've been in one of the most glamorous vanity fairs since I graduated, and I don't think of love too pure at all, so I can figure out a lot of things you can't understand...... Perhaps, in the eyes of others, we shouldn't have had as much contact as we do now...... But you and I both understand what kind of thing we are doing...... If only we had a clear conscience...... And I don't feel like I'm wrong to be involved...... At least I'm so busy, so busy that I don't even have time to drink...... Really, I didn't expect that I would come out of the shadow of divorce so quickly...... If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely publish a book to tell those who have been traumatized in their relationship how to get out of it as soon as possible...... Look at me, can you see anything wrong with me now? ”

This time, I just smiled at her, but I felt a little helpless...... If it weren't for Wu Lei and Gu Lin's wedding, Chen Yi and I would have basically cut off contact. But because of such an incident, I found that Chen Yi's state was indeed much better than a few days ago. So, is it right or wrong that we did such a thing together?

I don't have an answer, I just remember that during the years when she was married to Wang Ze, we had completely cut off contact.

……

This night, Chen Yi and I waited for almost an hour, and finally waited for Gu Lin's parents, they said a lot of heart-to-heart words to us, standing in their position, of course we can understand. However, in this world, no one can completely replace anyone else, so we especially hope that they can understand Gu Lin's decision.

In the end, the two elders couldn't really let go, but under our unremitting persuasion, they still agreed to attend Gu Lin and Wu Lei's wedding.

On the way back, Chen Yi and I were both immersed in the joy of this happening, but we kept enough sanity because neither of us proposed to have a drink to celebrate. When we got to Tulip Road, we parted.

……

On the afternoon of the next day, the day before the wedding of Gu Lin and Wu Lei, Xiao Ai and Qiao Ye rushed back from Shanghai very observantly. For them, there was nothing substantial to gain from this trip to Shanghai. In addition, I heard that Li Zishan's equity was sold to this Hongyu Capital is already an ironclad fact, and there will be basically no more variables, so the emotions of the three people who were hit are not very high.

In the evening, I personally cooked a table of food for Xiao Ai, and just as we were about to eat, Xiao Ai received a call from his assistant. She told Xiao Ai that the senior management of the group had organized a celebration dinner together, and they were all waiting for Xiao Ai to attend.

After Xiao Ai asked, he learned that the person who really organized this banquet was Zhao Mu.

I didn't stop Xiao Ai from participating, because emotionally speaking, as the supreme leader of the group, she must not be absent; Logically speaking, it is indeed necessary to have such a celebration.

But the person who organized it was Zhao Mu, but it made my heart full of disgust...... I don't know more and more about what kind of person this person I grew up with.

Why could he hold such a celebration dinner so peacefully? Could it be that this world really respects the king and the defeated man so much, and beyond that, face and morality can be avoided.
