Chapter 426: Use Me as a Substitute
Jiang Xinyue put on a white casual jacket and walked out of the room with her leather bag. He waved a taxi in front of the hotel, sat in the co-pilot's seat, and said politely to the driver: "Hello, please take me to the open-air market." ”
"No problem." The driver looked to be in his thirties, with a fair complexion, a few shallow wrinkles on his forehead, and an accent that didn't sound like a native of Yangcheng.
Jiang Xinyue looked at her watch and frowned slightly, she was worried that the restaurants in the open-air market would close early. So he whispered to the driver in a negotiating tone: "Mr. driver, can you drive faster?" ”
"Miss, I'll try my best, the speed limit on the road is very strong now. To tell you the truth, I will earn more than 20 yuan at most for this trip, and if you are photographed, you will have to pay a fine of 100 yuan. The driver said slowly, raising the speed a little.
"I know." Jiang Xinyue nodded and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm just worried that I won't be able to buy anything if I'm late." ”
"Miss, you went shopping in the open-air market?" The driver glanced at Jiang Xinyue.
Jiang Xinyue said softly: "Yes, I plan to go there to buy some Yangcheng specialties." ”
The driver frowned slightly, he shook his head, and said helplessly: "Miss, I think you should go back to the hotel." With that, he slowed down.
"Why?" Jiang Xinyue asked softly, "There should be some merchants there, right?" ”
"Miss, listen to your accent, it's from Dingcheng, right?" The driver smiled.
"Yes." Jiang Xinyue was stunned for a moment, she also felt that the other party's accent sounded very kind, "You are also from Dingcheng?" ”
"Almost, I've been in Dingcheng for less than ten years, and I'm half a Dingcheng person." The driver nodded, a faint sentimentality on his face.
"Great, we're kind of fellows." Jiang Xinyue smiled and said, "Fellow, why didn't you let me go there just now?" ”
"It is said that the souk has been bought by a company, and since yesterday, all the businesses there have closed down, and no one knows exactly when it will open, so don't you go for nothing?" The driver slowly parked the car on the side of the road, "Miss, anyway, this place is not far from the hotel, I will send you back, the fare is free, who made us fellow countrymen." ”
"I see, thank you for the reminder." While Jiang Xinyue was grateful to this driver, her face also looked very lost, she sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's really not a coincidence. ”
"Fellow, I take the liberty of asking you, what are you going to buy there?" The driver saw Jiang Xinyue's expression.
"Actually, it's nothing." Jiang Xinyue smiled lightly: "I came here to do some things, and I will go back tomorrow, I just want to buy some old wine to bring back and give it to me......" She paused, who is Lin Fei herself? What do you call him, friend? Or ......
"Oh......" The driver smiled and said softly, "Fellow, don't you feel disappointed that you didn't buy wine for your husband?" ”
Jiang Xinyue heard this, Lin Fei's appearance appeared in her mind, her face was slightly red, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, she wanted to deny it, but she unconsciously chose to nod her head, and whispered: "Well, he loves to drink very much." ”
"Your husband is so happy to have a wife who is so beautiful and loves him!" The driver was very emotional, "Fellow, this is easy to say, my father-in-law's family runs a winery, otherwise I will take you to his winery?" ”
"Really? That's great! Jiang Xinyue nodded happily, "Thank you, let's go now." ”
"Okay, it's not very far, it's more than twenty minutes." The driver stepped on the accelerator and the car continued to move forward.
"Fellow, your heart is so good!" Jiang Xinyue smiled sincerely.
"Thank you, in fact, you haven't met anyone who is really good-hearted." The driver suppressed his smile, and the expression on his face was complicated, both sentimental and moving.
Jiang Xinyue smiled lightly: "Really? It seems that you have also met people with good hearts. ”
The driver looked ahead and said lightly: "Fellow, in fact, that person is in Dingcheng, and he is also a taxi driver." As he spoke, he let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes slightly red, "He is the best person I have ever met in my life, without him, I would have died two years ago." ”
"That's right." Jiang Xinyue looked at the driver's expression, thought of some of her own experiences, and when she recalled Lin Fei, wasn't she also so moved?
The driver smiled bitterly and said softly: "It's been two years since I left Dingcheng, and today I met a fellow from Dingcheng for the first time, my heart is very excited, and I also remember a lot of past events, don't laugh at me." ”
Jiang Xinyue waved her hand and said softly, "No, fellow." ”
The driver said to himself, "Dingcheng...... A place that I will never forget. ”
"Then you ......" Jiang Xinyue hesitated.
The driver smiled, "Fellow, do you want to ask me why I want to leave since I have such deep feelings for Dingcheng?" ”
"Hmm......" Jiang Xinyue nodded.
"It's okay, there's some time on the way, let's talk about it. After graduating from university, I stayed in Dingcheng and joined a foreign-funded company, and after my efforts, it didn't take long to become the head of a department.
Later, I met a woman at a drinking party, she was very beautiful and talkative, and I fell in love with her at first sight. So I began to pursue her, and after half a year, she decided to agree to be in a relationship with me, but made a request to me, that is, not to make our relationship public. The driver's throat moved.
"Does she have something unspeakable?" Jiang Xinyue said softly.
She said that for the sake of her career, at that time, she was competing for a position as a hotel manager. I felt that since she said it, she had her own reasons, and it was for others to show it publicly, as long as we could be together, so I promised her that the two of us started dating. It went on like this for more than five years, and my feelings for her became deeper and deeper.
My mother is in the countryside and plans to hold her grandson while she is young, and has been urging me to get married. I myself felt that I was young enough to get married, and decided to propose to her, but when I went to her rented villa with a diamond ring and flowers to look for her, I saw ......" The driver paused, his expression was very painful and sad.
Jiang Xinyue also seemed to understand what he was going to say, and she regretted that she shouldn't have asked, "I'm sorry, we won't talk about this." ”
"It's okay, it's all in the past. I saw the woman rolling on the bed with a man who was her boss and who was Japanese. "I understood at once, it turned out that this was the reason why she asked not to disclose our relationship, and she had been using me as a substitute. ”
