Chapter 159: Failed Marriage Proposal

Tang Jiahui took a slice of bread in her mouth and went to open the door, this time the comer was huge, Tang Jiahui's parents and cousin Yunluo, the father looked reluctant, and was obviously pulled over by his wife. Mother and Yunluo searched Tang Jiahui's house inside and out, but they found nothing, and couldn't help but look at each other suspiciously.

Tang Jiahui pretended not to know anything and asked, "Why are you coming here early in the morning?" Have you eaten? ”

Tang's mother glanced at her daughter: "You eat these for breakfast?" Yunluo, bring the breakfast to your cousin, who is such a big person, and will not take care of himself. ”

Tang Jiahui took it with a smile and thanked Yun Luo: "Thank you, cousin." She liked to eat breakfast, so she sat down at the table and ate it unceremoniously.

Seeing that his wife didn't find out anything that shouldn't be there, Tang's father also showed a smile, and when he saw his daughter's good appetite, he persuaded: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." Now that you live alone outside, you should take care of yourself more, and girls still need to eat more healthy food. ”

Tang Jiahui took a sip of millet porridge and said with a smile: "I usually pay attention to health, but I drank too much wine last night, and I got up late today and dealt with it casually." As he spoke, he turned to his mother: "I'm going to work later, are you passing by or whatever, I can't accompany you today." ”

Father Tang didn't wait for his wife to speak, so he took the lead in speaking: "We are just passing by, and when you finish breakfast, we will leave, and we will not delay you from going to work." ”

Tang Jiahui smiled and nodded, her eyes secretly looked at Yun Luo, compared to her mother, Yun Luo seemed to be more unwilling.

Duan Lei came to the door of Chen Meiru's office and took a deep breath before knocking on the door, he wanted to know what she would think. Since Chen Meiru recovered from her illness, her whole person has softened a lot, maybe she has time to think during her illness, and she also intends to train Duan Lei to become the next heir of this company, after all, her own son is not interested in management, so let him be a good director.

Seeing that it was Duan Lei, Chen Meiru took off her glasses and said with a smile: "Is there something urgent that asked you to come over to report so early?" ”

Duan Lei looked at her silently and sternly for a while, which made Chen Meiru feel that something was not right, and Duan Lei rarely looked at himself with this expression.

Duan Lei put the ring box in his hand in front of her and stood straight in front of her desk: "I want to marry you!" ”

Chen Meiru smiled, this smile was full of tolerance and love, as if she was looking at her awkward brother: "I told you a long time ago that there is no possibility between us, it was your excellence that made me choose you back then, and I don't need your gratitude, and these years have indeed confirmed my vision back then." ”

Duan Lei immediately retorted: "That's not gratitude!" ”

Chen Meiru was stunned for a moment and shook her head slightly: "So what?" I have long advised you to find a good girl to marry and start a family, and it is just a waste of your time on me. In my case, you are a good partner at work and a good brother in life, that's all, not to mention that we are more than ten years apart, and we are no longer people of the same era. ”

Duan Lei still insisted: "I don't care about age at all, and I don't care about other people's eyes, as long as you want, we can get married." ”

Chen Meiru smiled helplessly: "Of course age is not a problem, but mentality is a problem, I can't treat you as a ** person, and I have never even loved you." I trust and rely on you immensely in my career, but in life, we are strangers. You are suddenly so abnormal today, something must have happened. In the last sentence, Chen Meiru said with great certainty, after so many years of superiors and subordinates, she knows Duan Lei even more than her own son.

Duan Lei sat on the chair with a wry smile: "I haven't been able to impress you for so many years, is your heart made of stone?" ”

Chen Meiru got up and poured him a cup of coffee: "Everyone's heart is made of stone, and it will be like this in the face of people and things that make them unacceptable or hateful. You have delayed too much time, and I have advised you many times, love is not something that can be obtained by your efforts, and neither touching nor gratitude will really become love, but just a shortcut that makes it easier for those who work hard. ”

Duan Lei stared at the coffee in his hand and asked, "Have you ever loved anyone else?" ”

Chen Meiru took a sip of coffee, a little confused: "Of course! At that time, Chen Xin's father and I loved vigorously, even now, he is still the love of my heart, I love someone all my life, even if we are not together, I think it is a kind of happiness. ”

Duan Lei was discouraged, he just made a bet with himself, but he didn't expect to lose the bet.

Duan Lei had just graduated from graduate school and his family was poor, and even the formal clothes for the interview that day were borrowed from other classmates, and the scale of Hongyi at that time was very small, and everyone added up to only about 20. He interviewed for the position of publicity planner, and there were 4 people competing with him, one of whom is said to be the nephew of one of Hongyi's investors, who has been in the society for a few years after graduating from high school, and now wants to arrange a serious job for him, when the person said this, Duan Lei was already a little disappointed in his heart, and it was obvious that there would be no hope for this interview.

But in the end, he was left behind, and it is said that Chen Meiru personally took the board. When Duan Lei was interviewing, he saw Chen Meiru, dressed in a white suit, wearing glasses, her hair was pulled into a bun, and her face was beautiful, but the whole person exuded a very strong aura, he was a little nervous when he first entered, Chen Meiru seemed to notice it, so he smiled and encouraged him, just more than ten minutes during the interview, but he fell into a frenzy for Chen Meiru.

When he got the news of being admitted, Duan Lei ran to the lake of the school alone and yelled at the lake, he must make a difference in Hongyi, and he must let Chen Meiru notice him. At that time, he heard that Chen Meiru was divorced from her husband and had a child, but even so, he still fell in love with Chen Meiru, who was more than ten years older than him.

When he first entered Hongyi, Duan Lei worked hard, and he didn't dare to show the slightest thought about Chen Meiru, until he walked step by step to the position of vice president, he asked Chen Meiru to pour out his love in a romantic candlelight dinner, but Chen Meiru immediately refused. But until now, he has refused to give up, although Chen Meiru has never given him any chance.

After leaving Chen Meiru's office, Duan Lei walked to the elevator silently, after he entered, he pressed the floor where he was, and on the 9th floor, the elevator door opened, Tang Jiahui just wanted to step in with a stack of materials, and saw him alone inside, turned on his toes, stopped outside the door again, and looked at him with a flattering face.

When the elevator door was about to close, Duan Lei pressed it open again: "Isn't Teacher Xiao Tang coming in?" ”

Tang Jiahui looked at the surrounding eyes with a hint of surprise, walked in with difficulty, and as soon as the elevator door closed, she immediately hid in the farthest place from him. She is naturally not afraid of him, and even Duan Lei has to coax her, a big screenwriter, but since the blind date, the relationship between the two has taken a turn of 180 degrees, and now Tang Jiahui has to work hard to compensate him for his mental loss.

Duan Lei turned his head to look at her, he had never looked at other women carefully, except for Xu Heyan and the female artists of the company, because that was the demand of work. Tang Jiahui's appearance is very incommensurate with her age, her skin is smooth and elastic, which he knew last night; With delicate facial features and light makeup, she looks like a girl in her twenties, not a middle-aged woman who will step into four in a few years.

Tang Jiahui was slightly uncomfortable by him, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only let him see it, after all, it was her cousin and cousin-in-law who calculated him last night, but they had to pay it back by themselves, thinking that she was also quite aggrieved, but no matter how wronged she was, she couldn't reveal it in front of Duan Lei.

When the elevator door was about to open, Duan Lei suddenly said, "Let's eat together at noon?" ”

Tang Jiahui blinked, and before she could answer, the elevator door closed again, and she stared at the elevator door in a daze, not knowing what he wanted to say during this meal.

Duan Lei drove her to the place where Xu Heyan once took her, antique, with bamboo leaves and breezy water. The two sat in the private room, Tang Jiahui watched him skillfully order a few dishes, then looked at her, obviously asking her to order a few more, Tang Jiahui hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I can do it, Mr. Duan just ordered." So Duan Lei ordered two more.

Duan Lei took a sip of tea and didn't speak, Tang Jiahui fidgeted, secretly rubbed her hands and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Duan asking me out?" ”

Duan Lei looked at Tang Jiahui at this time, and asked instead of answering: "How long has Teacher Xiao Tang been in Hongyi?" ”

Tang Jiahui replied seriously: "It's about the same time as Xu Heyan becoming an agent, I haven't counted it specifically, but it's also a ** year." ”

Duan Lei nodded: "That's really an old employee of the company." ”

Tang Jiahui's heart moved, Duan Lei shouldn't want to find an excuse to fire her because of last night's incident, right? Although she could live well wherever she went, she would be humiliated if she was fired because of this.

Duan Lei saw that she didn't speak, so he continued: "If Teacher Xiao Tang doesn't mind, we can try to get married first!" ”

The tea in Tang Jiahui's mouth squirted out, and she glared at him without any image, as if she wanted to confirm that the man was joking, but although Duan Lei had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of seriousness.

Tang Jiahui wiped her mouth with a tissue casually, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Mr. Duan doesn't have to mind, just be ...... As long as it didn't happen, I don't want to get in trouble! ”

Duan Lei frowned slightly: "You mean, our trial marriage is troublesome for you?" Do you want to get married directly? ”

Tang Jiahui shook her head again and waved her hand, her face was a little pale: "I didn't mean that, I just said that Mr. Duan should not take it to heart, really, I don't need you to be responsible, it's good that everyone is safe, I'm used to being single alone." ”

Duan Lei didn't let go of his brows: "Last night was your first time!" Although he didn't want to believe that a woman of this age was still keeping her first time, it was exactly what happened.

Tang Jiahui cried with a sad face: "It's okay, it's really okay." At my age, the first time is worthless. I beg Mr. Duan not to mention last night's incident, it's all my fault, I will definitely work hard for the company, and the script company I have at hand can be used. ”

Duan Lei didn't expect Tang Jiahui to resist his approach so much, and he didn't even want to mention it again, so he stopped talking about this topic for the time being, and the two ate seriously.

As soon as his car stopped in the afternoon, Tang Jiahui hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, didn't even take the elevator, and ran directly from the stairwell on the side, Duan Lei looked at her back in high heels and left quickly, this woman was so panicked about herself that she didn't dare to be alone with him?

It didn't take long for Jiang Hua to meet Duan Lei again, and this time Yun Luo was also there. When he first came, Yun Luo quickly looked him up and down, this man is the best, and he is just right with her cousin, but he missed his hand last time, and he must not make the same mistake again this time.

Jiang Hua asked Duan Lei to come this time, but he just wanted to talk about the matter, and it was easier for both parties to have room for repentance, although once it was said, if there was no agreement, there would be no hope at all, but Jiang Hua's opinion was that if there was no hope, then try to introduce other men to Tang Jiahui, so as not to waste time.

Jiang Hua, as Tang Jiahui's cousin-in-law, naturally wants to start with his career, Tang Jiahui has been jumping around and unstable at work before entering Hongyi, but since he entered Hongyi, he has really been patient for so many years, although it is not because of Duan Lei that he stayed. Duan Lei naturally has no opinion on Tang Jiahui's work, he works seriously and responsibly, although he occasionally loses his temper and strikes, but on the whole he makes a great contribution to the company.

The two men talked for a long time, and they were still spinning around at work, Yun Luo couldn't listen to it and asked directly, "What does Mr. Duan think of my cousin?" ”

Duan Lei smiled, he felt that this Yunluo was somewhat similar to Tang Jiahui's temperament, both were very cheerful and hairy women. He replied very officially: "Mr. Xiao Tang is of course the pillar of our company!" ”

Yun Luo shook her head: "I'm not talking about work, you also had a blind date last time, don't you have any ideas at all?" ”

Duan Lei still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor and replied: "Teacher Xiao Tang and I have always been good partners at work, as for private, I think Mrs. Yun Jiang should not interfere too much, after all, it is our private matter." ”

Jiang Hua shook his wife's hand, it was obvious that Duan Lei didn't want to be led by their nose anymore, although he didn't know what the outcome of the previous few days was, at least Duan Lei showed his attitude, they couldn't interfere in this matter anymore.

The conversation was fruitless, and Yun Luo naturally stopped wasting time on Duan Lei, there are so many men in the world, she can always find a good marriage for her cousin. If you want to say why Yunluo is so active in marrying Tang Jiahui, in fact, she has always felt a little guilty about Tang Jiahui in her heart, it was she who first became crazy obsessed with the big-eyed handsome actor Guo Qizhan, and pulled her to chase stars all day long, but she didn't expect Tang Jiahui to fall into it in the end, and she can't let go of it until now.

Tang Jiahui was soon arranged to meet a man again, this time the other party was Jiang Hua's business partner Ye Lin, 45 years old, divorced and had a 10-year-old daughter, but with her mother, the conditions were good, and she looked good, so Tang Jiahui wanted to use this man to temporarily make Duan Lei no longer pay attention to the events of that night.

Yun Luo didn't expect her cousin to accept Ye Lin at once, although in her heart Ye Lin's conditions were not good, she most hoped that the man had never been married, but Tang Jiahui's age was there, and it was difficult to have a man who fully met the requirements. (To be continued.) )
