Chapter 476: Meet Qiu Zi'an

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Chen Yi asked me again: "Jiang Qiao, do you still have no idea in your heart, or do you think this is a decision that can affect the whole body?" ”

I finally replied to her: "I am not a superstitious person, and such reasons can be used, but I feel that it is not others who are being deceived, but myself...... I think it's better to wait until I meet with Qiu Zi'an. ”

"Okay, you make your own decisions."

I nodded, and Chen Yi glanced at me, then pointed to the bowl on the table with his chopsticks, and motioned for me to eat the last salted duck egg inside. I ate myself like to vomit with salted duck eggs, because this is the third one tonight.

After that, I drank another bowl of porridge, and Chen Yi also drank two bowls, and the time was wasted by us, and it was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night when Chen Yi began to put away the dishes and chopsticks. She said to me: "Tonight this night, I have been nervous and relaxed, you hurry back to the hotel to rest, if you need my help with anything, just call me." ”

I didn't leave, but stood where I was and replied, "There's a question I've been holding in my mind for a long time, and I know that it may not be appropriate for me to ask, but I still can't help but worry about you...... Is there something wrong with your marriage to Wang Ze? ”

Chen Yi first looked at me, then shifted his gaze and asked me, "Do you think something is wrong with us?" ”

"It shouldn't be that there is a problem, but that the problem has always existed, you and Wang Ze have been married for more than a year, but I have never seen you share your life in the circle of friends, this does not seem to be the state that a harmonious couple should have. But because you have been living abroad, no one knows exactly what it is. ”

Chen Yi lowered her head, she looked at the white leather shoes on her feet, and replied for a long time: "No woman would want her married life to be unhappy...... He and I tried, but we couldn't do anything about it, so a year after we got married, we both decided to put the focus of our lives back on our careers, and then use this time to think rationally about this marriage, and then decide whether to maintain it or not. ”

Although I had already guessed one or two in advance, when these came out of Chen Yi's mouth, I still felt bad in my heart, and I didn't know what to say. But in my heart I wanted to comfort her...... Putting aside all the feelings and grudges, she will always be the girl who grew up with me, how can I watch her unhappy.

Chen Yi seemed to see through my thoughts, she smiled and said to me, "Jiang Qiao, you don't need to think about how to comfort me...... Did you know that married life is not always as good as you think? I believe that in this society where the cost of living is constantly increasing and relationships are getting cheaper, at least half of the people want to get a divorce. But some people can't bear the consequences of divorce at all, they are afraid that they will become a victim of marriage, afraid that others will mind that they have had a marriage experience and cannot start the next marriage, so they just endure it while living the wrong ...... However, the other type of people is different, even if I plan for the worst, Wang Ze and I are really divorced, but I still have the ability to comfort myself in many ways, and then wait for the next relationship, I will not lose the price because I have experienced a marriage...... You should be able to see these, and Wang Ze and I are just a microcosm of most people, it is not unusual, and it will not become a topic of conversation in everyone's mouth, because it is commonplace! ”

I have a feeling of being speechless, but my heart is more sad, because the optimism shown by Chen Yi, in fact, is an extreme pessimism when I look deeper, and she seems to have lost her expectations for her love life, so she seems to discuss the value of marriage with me, but she emphasizes the importance of material things to a person.

Yes, in the general environment, she is not wrong to think so, but she has always been a girl who wants to live a serious life in my heart, but now she has deviated, she is no longer the girl who followed the rules and looked at the same time, she has learned to find reasons to comfort herself in some social phenomena...... But what does this mean? I can't tell.

After a long time, I finally said to her, "I would love to do something for you......"

"But you can't do anything, because when you talk to me about it, you don't say anything right, and even if you really want to comfort me, it will make you seem insincere."

I was amazed by what Chen Yi knew about me, and she said all the feelings in my heart, so I continued to be silent......

Chen Yi pushed me to the elevator and said to me: "Jiang Qiao, don't ask about me in the future, I will feel ashamed, and I will feel very strange, I think it's good to be like this now, I don't want to think about the past...... It's not early, you go back and rest, I'm also sleepy. ”

As she spoke, she pressed the elevator downstairs for me, and then pushed me into the elevator again...... However, just as the elevator began to descend, I heard her crying, and I seemed to see her crouching in a dark corner, extremely depressed in her feelings...... Only then did I realize that she was just as painful and helpless as I was. We were all different people in front of each other, I wasn't chic enough, but she pretended to be strong, because there were so many people between us that I couldn't even give her an intimate hug.

……

I got up early the next morning, and the temperature in Nanjing rose a little higher today, so I went back to the old house on the other side of Ersi Lane to get some short-sleeved shirts and shirts for summer, and then watered the flowers and plants in the yard.

The yard was a little dirty for the migrant workers, so I cleaned up the garbage inside and cleaned the yard again. But I don't think it's a very boring thing because I was already mentally prepared to live in this house when I gave them this house.

Seeing that I was cleaning, Master Zhao, who was doing carpentry, felt embarrassed, and said to me: "Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry to make your house dirty, I was going to come back tonight to clean it, but I didn't expect to let you see the joke first." As he spoke, he handed me a Nanjing brand cigarette.

I took it from him, smiled and said, "You usually do tiring and dirty work, and it's quite tiring, I saw it clean, and it's nothing." ”

Master Zhao also smiled with me and replied: "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, the pony and grandson who don't like to clean the most, and a few other people are going to Tianjin to do the project this afternoon, and in the future, this house will be lived by four of our older people, and we will do a good job of sanitation to ensure that it is cleaner than when you lived before." ”

I smiled and lit the cigarette he handed me, and didn't pay much attention to it, because I felt that they were still relatively reliable, and they had lived for almost ten days, and nothing else had been left untouched except for the lack of hygiene.

While talking, I looked at the carport where the sundries were stacked, and there were many electric cars in it, so I asked Master Zhao: "Master Zhao, there should be idle electric cars in the shed, can you borrow one for me to use first...... My car had an accident and I didn't have a car for a while. ”

"Uh...... If you don't feel shabby, just use the pony's car, he bought it only the day before yesterday, and was originally going to develop in Nanjing for a long time, but it was temporarily arranged by Lao Ge to Tianjin, and this car will not be used for the time being. ”

Master Zhao called out to the pony who was washing in the house, and then asked him for the key to the electric car. Xiaoma was a little unhappy, not for the sake of borrowing a car, he thought that the company would always let him stay in Tianjin in the future, but he found a girlfriend in Nanjing, he didn't want a long-distance relationship, he said that long-distance relationships are disgusting.

I patiently told him that in the future, I would focus on the Nanjing project, and that it was just an accident in Tianjin, and that he would be able to come back after the two-month construction period was over. Pony happily handed me the keys to his car.

Before going to work, I invited all of them to the snack bar outside the alley for breakfast, and took the opportunity to chat with them about the company's prospects and development direction, which they didn't understand. I promised them a good life in the city, and they understood, and they promised me that they would do every project in the company.

……

After a busy day at the company, I rode my pony's electric car to my new house in the evening, opened the window as usual to dissipate the smell inside, and then rode the electric car to the teahouse where I had made an appointment to meet Qiu Zi'an.

Yes, after thinking about it, I still decided to meet Qiu Zi'an alone, because this is my private matter, I don't need Chen Yi to get involved, and I don't want her to get into trouble for me.

Qiu Zi'an and I are both punctual people, so we came to the teahouse at the same time. But to my surprise, he actually drove a car with a Nanjing license plate. He was even more surprised that I rode an electric car to the appointment, thinking that my way of traveling was too environmentally friendly.

Life is such nonsense, 24 hours ago, I was driving a low-profile version of the Maserati Levante, which was no worse than the car Qiu Zi'an is driving now.

Qiu Zi'an seemed to see my question, he looked at his car, and said with some sadness: "You should know the past between me and Chen Yi, after I successfully started a business in Beijing, in order to show my determination to be with her, I bought a house and a car in Nanjing. It's a joke, but I really have a home in Nanjing! ”

I nodded, and then led Qiu Zi'an to the teahouse, I asked for a separate small private room, and asked for the best tea in the entire teahouse.

After we sat down face-to-face, I poured him a cup of tea and said to him, "Although we had a lot of unpleasant things before, I really want to thank you for what happened to Xiao Ai in Beijing this time." ”。

Qiu Zi'an took the tea I handed him, smiled and replied: "The unpleasantness you said has been so long, and there is no deep hatred between us, so you don't have to pay too much attention to this matter, I always feel that there are still more friends, and the road is easy to walk." ”

I sighed from the bottom of my heart: "The only people who can really mix like a fish in water in this society can only be people like you who can clearly distinguish the stakes." ”

Qiu Zi'an looked at me with a complicated face, and he replied, "I just take this as your appreciation for me...... But then again, I envy you even more, envy that you can live really, you don't have to be like us, you have lived a lifetime only to find out that you are wearing all kinds of masks, and in the end you just live as others like, but not what you like......" Speaking of this, Qiu Zi'an sighed heavily, and after being silent for a long time, he said again: "In this life, I have betrayed my life to fame and fortune, otherwise Chen Yi and I would not have come to this point." ”

I was silent, as if the people I had met recently were treating themselves with an introspective attitude, but I didn't understand whether this introspection was more about regretting the past or whether it meant spurring myself to a better future.

To be honest, we should all look up, so Qiu Zi'an and I had a chance to sit down and drink tea and chat. At least we all seem to have let go of the unbearable things behind us.

During the tea time, Qiu Zi'an and I didn't cut to the chase, we talked about some work things, and even talked about the dream tree. In the process, I gradually felt that Qiu Zi'an and I were not so unspeakable, but we didn't know each other well enough. Although he is a more utilitarian person, he is very persistent in his feelings, which is rare for a man in his position, and Cao Yang and Zhao Zhongming in Beijing are the best negative examples.

Before I knew it, the sky outside the window darkened, and the private room of the teahouse became more like a private space, and I habitually lit a cigarette because of my emotional ups and downs, and I was ready to talk to Qiu Zi'an about the truth about Yuan Zhen's departure from Tianqi Media.

I exhaled the cigarette in my mouth heavily, and then said to Qiu Zi'an opposite in a low voice: "Actually, there is a confusion in my heart for a long time, a few years ago, because Xiao Ai married Yuan Zhen, there was no news after leaving the country, so I thought she would have a good life, so I didn't think about figuring out these things, because I didn't think it was necessary, and I also felt that it was a kind of disturbance to figure it out...... But in the past two years, many things have changed, I didn't expect Xiao Ai to return to China again and make her debut as a singer, and I didn't expect that Yuan Zhen, whom she married, would die due to an accident...... So, I feel the need to figure out some of the things at the beginning, I can't watch a woman suffer a great grievance for me, and I keep pretending to be crazy and stupid and do nothing......"

Speaking of this, I stopped, because my emotions had a stronger fluctuation, although I am not sure whether Xiao Ai was wronged when he left, but as long as I think of the existence of such a possibility, my heart is a throbbing.

Qiu Zi'an gave me room to calm down, and after a moment he said to me, "I can probably understand what you want to say...... Go on. ”

I took a deep breath of cigarette before I said again: "I know that you are one of the shareholders of Apocalypse Media, so you must know the truth about Yuan Zhen's termination of the contract with your company back then." I heard that after he left, he was burdened with a huge amount of liquidated damages...... I just want to know, who is behind this money for him? …… I know his network well, and there is no one in his circle who has the ability to solve this trouble for him, so there must be an unknown scene here! ”
