Chapter 16 Time is like water, and the heart is ice
"I asked you to ask her for help, and you're in so much trouble now!" The agent said angrily. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You let me go again, and I am afraid that people will know what you want. Besides, the reviews outside are mixed now, which is nothing. β
"Mixed reviews? Look at it, it is said that the star Wang Moxuan's fake dating was exposed, and Tian shamelessly asked her for forgiveness. β
"But that's the truth."
"The truth can't be known! Now that the video of you being slapped downstairs in the middle of the night has been posted online, the outside world is even more sure that the fake date is a real scam. People are questioning your character. But compared to some people who cheat and cheat on the nude photos, you are nothing, and you will be forgotten after a long time. Hype, it's not a big deal. Now it's silent for a while, and don't meet with that Shang Xiaxia, the province will have another accident. β
Wang Moxuan complained: "Now that you think of silence, won't you use this method at the beginning?"
"I didn't think that if there was a chance to make amends, I wouldn't waste the hype gimmick of 'Prince Cinderella'; In short, you can take a vacation without any more accidents. No news is the best news right now. β
Wang Moxuan thought that if he was on vacation, he could have more time to pursue Shang Xiaxia. Although she rejected last night, he wouldn't give up.
No one gives up after being rejected once, and if there is, then the initial temptation is wrong. For the person you like, you don't need to think about the outcome, you can do it. But as long as one party confesses first, he is in a passive position. The party being confessed takes the initiative, and she can choose to accept it or not. If you just accept it with wishful thinking, everyone will be happy; But there are few such things, and most of them are unrequited love. These hard-working people can only rejoice in their own good hopes.
He Wei, Huang Quan, Wang Moxuan, they are all passive. But Shang Xiaxia, who has the initiative, is not easy to face them who are stalking, especially when these people get together.
Today is the day when Huang Quan invites everyone to dinner, Shang Xiaxia originally didn't want to go, but because Xia Xia's mother is leaving, this can be regarded as seeing off Xia Xia's mother.
Xia Xia's mother really took herself as the protagonist, dressed up early in the morning, thinking that she was trendy and fashionable. But in Shang Xiaxia's opinion, it is simply a costume on the beach, because Xia Xia's mother is wearing a cheongsam again. The slit is higher, and the color is also the red and green cotton jacket color of the Northeast that a certain actress failed to control at a fashion week.
Liu Xiao was not to be outdone, because this was the first time she and Zhang Yang went to a high-end restaurant to eat, and it didn't cost money. used the outfit that Xia Xia complained about as a nightclub girl.
Only Xia Xia, who worked overtime last night and got up late today, is not dressed up yet, has a ball on her head, and is brushing her teeth in shorts and vests.
Generally speaking, this kind of gathering should be arranged in the evening, but Huang Quan heard the fallacy that the ingredients in the restaurant were not fresh in the evening, so it was set at noon. Fortunately, it will rain today, otherwise the sun will be shining at noon, and you will not be able to eat the ingredients whether they are fresh or not.
"Xia Xia, change your clothes quickly, Xiao Huang will be here in a while." Xia Xia's mother said.
"What are you in a hurry, he said he won't pick us up until twelve o'clock, but it's not even ten o'clock now." Xia Xia said while brushing her teeth, accidentally choking on mouthwash and coughing in her throat.
"Xia Xia, you have to dress up, a large part of Huang Quan's meal is for you." Liu Xiao said.
"What's the matter with me, don't you send my mother back to her hometown today. Besides, he said that he wanted to invite you to dinner when he didn't see me, what does it have to do with me? You better take care of you Zhang Yang, you are not afraid of his nosebleed if you dress like this. β
"Well, you think I'm so sexy!" Liu Xiao said.
"What about others? Didn't you come here before dawn last time you went on a cruise ship, where did you go today? β
"He and Huang Quan went to rent a car, and they will come together."
"Ding-dongβ" The doorbell rang.
"Say Cao Cao, Huang Quan has arrived." Liu Xiao said and opened the door upside down. Xia Xia went back to the house to change clothes, and before she went in, she heard Liu Xiao shouting: "Xia Xia, looking for you."
Xia Xia came over and looked at the person outside the door, it was not Huang Quan. Checkered shirt and square glasses, with an honest or dumb smile, is He Wei.
"You?! Why are you here again! β
Although He Wei was secretly rejected many times by Shang Xia Xia, under the friendly guidance of Huang Quan, who did not know the truth, he has been thoroughly implementing the spirit of perseverance. I was very happy to see Xia Xia. "Xia Xia, that night on the cruise ship, you slapped me, so I ......" He Wei stroked his face, looking extremely happy.
Xia Xia interrupted: "You shouldn't be here to take revenge, I'm sorry, I lost control that night."
"No, no, I want to say that I did something wrong that night, I should have told you in private, I shouldn't have embarrassed you in front of so many people."
When Xia Xia heard this, she felt that she was too mean to this He Wei. The man didn't blame her anyway. "That's in the past. I also want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I would still be in the dark by Wang Moxuan. β
"I didn't ...... It's okay. He Wei heard Xia Xia's soft tone, and he couldn't speak again. When he saw Xia Xia's mother, he said, "Auntie is also here." Xia Xia's mother still remembered what Huang Quan said, and she didn't debunk it, saying, "That's right." And Liu Xiao and Xia Xia were puzzled, "Huh? β
He Wei can be regarded as an improvement, and he knows that he has greeted people, although he missed Liu Xiao. He got a new outfit today β but the style hasn't changed, it's still a checkered shirt. He asked Xia Xia, "Xia Xia, do you see any difference between me today?"
Xia Xia looked up and down, he was still a good student, and he didn't see any difference. "I didn't buy magnolia flowers today!"
He Wei was embarrassed, thinking that Shang Xiaxia finally liked to spend it today, but he didn't buy it. "Oh, that flower shop is closed today, and the owner has gone to pick up the goods. I'll definitely buy it next time. β
Xia Xia hurriedly stopped: "Don't, don't have a next time."
As he was talking, Liu Xiao's mobile phone rang.
"Xia Xia, Zhang Yang, they are here, tell us to go down."
Xia Xia's mother, Xia Xia and Liu Xiao went downstairs, and He Wei didn't know why they were going, so he didn't follow them brainlessly.
Liu Xiao saw Zhang Yang, and sprinted over 100 meters to give a hug, and the two of them showed affection all the time. After hugging him, he saw the extended Lincoln behind Zhang Yang, "Oh my God, what did you borrow!" It's too extravagant. β
Zhang Yang was so proud as if the car was his, and said, "Lengthen Lincoln."
Liu Xiao said disdainfully: "I know."
Huang Quan got out of the car, still wearing the same white suit, pink shirt, and tie clip shining with golden light; These reveal two things: first, the man is rich; Two, this man is very rich.
Huang Quan seemed to be in a hurry and said, "Auntie, Xia Xia, get in the car quickly." It's going to rain in a while. He saw He Wei following behind and said, "My cousin is also here, let's get in the car first." No matter how stupid He Wei is, he should have seen that people were going out, but he didn't leave, and followed him into the car again.
No one else is familiar with him, Xia Xia is familiar with him, but he doesn't want to deal with him. The atmosphere was slightly awkward. Xia Xia's mother spoke first: "Xiao He, your cousin is really capable." She just heard Huang Quan call her cousin, thinking that He Wei was Huang Quan's cousin. He Wei didn't understand, and he didn't know that this aunt asked her cousin what she was going to do when she met for the first time, so she vaguely agreed: "Yes."
He Wei didn't have anything to say, and Xia Xia's mother didn't talk to her anymore. Huang Quan, who was driving in front, heard it and thought: This aunt and nephew don't know what to do, and it's too angry. One is bigger than the misunderstanding!
Just after twelve o'clock, thunder rumbled in the sky. The bean-sized raindrops crackled down. The gloomy sky was somewhat frightening.
Uncle Liang was in a panic today, and he always felt uncomfortable. Liang Sipeng was afraid that the root cause of the disease was again, so he hurriedly looked for medicine and asked if he wanted to go to the hospital. Uncle Liang said, "I just want to talk to you." β
Liang Sipeng muttered in his heart, just say it.
Uncle Liang said: "I'm afraid that if I don't say it now, I won't be able to say it." β
"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense." Liang Sipeng was frightened by Uncle Liang's words, especially today, his behavior was very abnormal.
Uncle Liang waved his hand and said, "Spen, I hope you and your father can reconcile." β
Liang Sipeng didn't speak, and he was inexplicably disgusted when he heard this. It's not the first time Uncle Liang has said this to him, and Uncle Liang is not the only one who has said this to him. Over the years, someone has been telling him that Liang Wanbang is his father, and there should be no overnight feud between father and son. But Liang Sipeng just couldn't let it go. Sometimes he can also think about whether what he has done is a bit excessive, but every time he seems to have a split personality, there is always another voice in his body that tells him that he can't forgive Liang Wanbang like this.
Once hatred is perpetuated, it can become a habit; And habit makes hatred even deeper.
Liang Sipeng hated his dad for cheating, hated his dad for not seeing ****** last side, and hated his dad for not caring about him. After the age of sixteen, Liang Sipeng told himself to be strong and independent; There is no one in this world who has to be unobtainable, and he can live without anyone. And he did. He lived independently, sang independently, and took care of his grandfather independently. On the surface, he is very carefree, and those who don't know him may say that he is optimistic. But the back side of independence is the cruel truth of closing oneself because one cares and no one asks. For eleven years, he was a loner.
Time is like water, it can wash away everything; But Liang Sipeng's heart has become ice, and time will only freeze him more and more. He didn't accept Liang Wanbang from the bottom of his heart. No matter how good Liang Wanbang is to him now, he can only see it as the wishful thinking of a sinful person who wants to alleviate his guilt as he grows old.
"Spen, your dad did have something wrong back then, but he is also trying to make it up to you as much as possible. He's fifty years old, if you can forgive him, then ......" Uncle Liang persuaded hard.
"Compensation? I didn't ask him to make amends, and now that we are safe, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and I feel very good. Liang Sipeng said stubbornly. Grandpa, don't talk about me anymore, you are not in good health, you can recuperate with peace of mind. β
"It's just that I'm not in good health, so I think I might not be able to say it if I don't talk about it now. I used to think that you would be able to understand it yourself, so I didn't care much about it. But now I'm really ...... Can't you go home for me? β
"The more you talk about it, the more you lose it." Liang Spong stood up, "Yes, I can't tell you, go out and take a walk." β
"It's raining so hard, where are you going?"
Liang Spong waved his hand, which means: You don't care.
Braving the pouring rain, he rode Harleyβborrowed it and didn't want to give it backβspeeding down the streets. Biker leather coat, raindrops on sunglasses, hair flying in the wind. The lightning and thunder in the sky, the roar of the motorcycle on the ground, how domineering! Liang Sipeng felt extremely happy. Unexpectedly, not far out of the alley, the car crashed, the person rolled out more than ten meters, and the water on the ground splashed, and people thought they saw a fish jumping in the water.
Here, Shang Xiaxia and the others are drinking an aperitif in the palatial Western restaurant renovated by Wangfujing Hotel. The pouring rain outside didn't affect them at all.
Eating Western food in a place like Wangfujing Hotel is somewhat weird about eating fried chicken in Quanjude. Huang Quan doesn't have to come here, it's just that when he first met Xia Xia's mother, he said that this is here, and it's not easy to change. When I came to order food, I found that this place, which is known as a big hotel, is actually mainly a hotel, and it is for people, not for eating. Huang Quan didn't know this before, but he had heard about it a lot of times. He couldn't help but complain: The hotel doesn't sell alcohol, the restaurant doesn't buy food, it's all residents, it seems that opening a room is just what is needed!
Good thing there is a restaurant. But why not choose a meal? Because Western food gives people the feeling that it is high-end and expensive, of course a rich person like Huang Quan must choose one worthy of his identity. Speaking of which, most people eat steak, but how many have eaten the Manchu and Han full feasts? Which one is more upscale?
The main dish was served, and Huang Quan invited everyone to raise their glasses: "Come, let's wish Xia Xia's mother a smooth journey." "Everyone clinks glasses and drinks.
Huang Quan shook his goblet and asked, "Yoko, what do you say this wine is coming from?" β
"Lafite in '82."
"It doesn't taste good." Huang Quan called the waiter over and said, "Bring us a bottle of Moutai." β
Xia Xia almost laughed, she had never heard of eating Western food and drinking Moutai; The waiter was also embarrassed: "I'm sorry sir, we don't have Moutai here." β
"You guys are such a big hotel and you haven't Moutai yet? Look for the Chinese restaurant next door. Huang Quan said.
The waiter almost died of anger: you go directly to the Chinese restaurant to eat, okay! I had no choice but to go to the Chinese restaurant next door to get a bottle of Moutai.
Huang Quan drank the liquor and was happy: "I, as a person, am most unaccustomed to those who pretend, obviously I am not used to drinking foreign wine, and I don't want to learn from foreigners to say that it is delicious." No, although it's strange for me to drink Moutai here, it's me who eats, and I care about other people's affairs! β
Zhang Yang and Liu Xiao said this, their faces were hot, they were the "pretending people", they asked for medium-rare steak when they first ordered, and now they can't eat it, so they can only drink vigorously.
"I have one more thing to say." Huang Quan said: "Everyone may know that I used to be a part-time worker, but now that I have money, I want to ......" Everyone held their breath, expecting him to say something shocking. "I'm going to spend money! Spend money vigorously. β
"Boss Huang, you spend your money, what is worth announcing about this!" Xia Xia said.
"I'm not an ordinary spender, I've formed a spending team, I want to earn while spending, eat, drink and have fun, and enjoy the life of the real upper class. It is famous to spend money. β
The crowd still didn't understand. βsoοΌβ
"So, I'm still going to find a partner to spend money on." Huang Quan looked at Xia Xia: "Xia Xia, are you willing?" β
He Wei, who came to eat for nothing, had a white face and a blue face: Shang Xiaxia didn't accept him in the first place, but now he has another rival in love, and he is so rich!
"Boss Huang, you're making fun of me." Xia Xia said.
"How is this a joke? I really like you! I'm going to pursue you. Huang Quan said.
"As you said, you're not a pretend. I'm the wine, you can't get used to it. Xia Xia said.
"Xia Xia, from today onwards I officially pursue you, you can refuse me, but you can't stop me from pursuing you!" Huang Quan said.
"Why do you bother? I know I'm going to reject you! Xia Xia felt more and more that this person was sick in the brain. No wonder people keep saying that stupid rich stupid rich.
"Life is about perseverance. You say yes, Brother He? Huang Quan asked He Wei. He Wei was thinking about how Huang Quan could confess so unhurriedly, and wanted to learn and learn. Hearing this, nothing was said.
Huang Quan continued: "Brother He is similar to me in this regard, although he has been rejected by his girlfriend many times, he has been persevering. Come on! Huang Quan deliberately said He Wei here, hoping to ease the relationship between him and "his aunt".
Xia Xia single-handedly made up this lie and didn't say anything, Liu Xiao knew the truth, and said happily: "Yes, insist." Magnolia flowers will bloom one day. β
He Wei's face was as red as a steak on a plate, and his head was so low that he was about to stick it on. That's the price of eating for nothing!
Xia Xia's mobile phone rang: "Hey, ah! I'll be there right away. "Stand up and go. Everyone asked what was going on, and Xia Xia said: "My friend has an accident, in the hospital, I'll go and see, you eat first and leave me alone." β
"I'll send you." Huang Quan said.
"No, you're the owner, it's not good to go."
"Then I'll send you." He Wei wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
"Your 'Eighth Road' is still downstairs in my house!" Xia Xia sent He Wei away with a word, and He Wei had no choice but to sit down.
Huang Quan also asked: "Brother He, what kind of car is the 'Eighth Road'?" Domestic or imported? β
Liu Xiao smiled and said, "New energy." β
Huang Quan said he knew.
"Xiaoxiao, why haven't I heard that she has any friends?" Xia Xia's mother asked.
"Eighty percent is the last one again." Liu Xiao said.
