Chapter 3 The Ex-Family's Adventure
I knew that the cost of deceiving Li Jing was very high, but I still agreed to Miss Cui's request, and I couldn't suppress my gossip soul at all! Coming out of the café, we went straight to Cui Yuling's small villa on the outskirts of the city, and when we were stuck in traffic, we got a general idea of her two residences at home and abroad.
"I am in charge of import and export business in the company, so I will run both at home and abroad, but because I got married in the UK, the company is also to take care of me, and now the center of the business has also been adjusted to the UK, so now it is basically China and the UK back and forth business." Because I need to know Miss Cui's current life, Cui Yuling took the initiative to introduce herself.
"Is the business still smooth? Are there any customers you have come into contact with recently that seem familiar to you? "The connection between vision and the brain is a complex thing, and some people with amnesia have lost memories because they look at a painting, so I first suspect that the reason why Miss Choi thinks is that she sees people or things that make her feel familiar.
"No, they're all old customers." Miss Cui shook her head, "I usually don't have much social interaction except for work, and the people I usually go shopping and eating with are old friends, and I still have a little difficulty in choosing, so I usually go to places that I have been to before, and there are few changes, so Yingai has not met anyone who makes me feel familiar with but I don't know." ”
"That's right." I nodded, but there was nothing more to ask. Because I heard Cui Yuling talk about the places she used to go to, it aroused Shi Hao's interest.
"Do you remember Qin Lei from our school before? Is that the kid who took the fourth-level college exam six times and didn't pass it six times? Shi Hao was interested and talked about the university.
"I remember. However, they persevered and took the exam for the seventh time before graduation, and finally passed the exam. Talking about the memories of her college days, Cui Yuling obviously relaxed, and there was a smile on her lips.
"Well, do you know what that kid is doing now?" The more Shi Hao spoke, the more excited he became.
"I don't know. I didn't come to the last class reunion. ”
"That kid is out of breath. I worked as a translator at a foreign language publishing house. ”
"Huh?" Shi Hao's words obviously made Cui Yuling's eyes widen, "He? Did he go to work as a translator? It's unbelievable that people who took the English test and asked for half their lives are now dealing with English every day. ”
"We also think it's incredible, didn't this kid pass the test last time? I asked a few boys who had a good relationship with him to go to the barbecue, but the result may have been that he was drinking too much, so he suddenly announced that he worked so hard, and if he worked harder, he might be able to go to a foreign language university for graduate school. The people around him laughed at him, but as soon as Qin Lei's kid got angry, he swore on the spot, everyone didn't care, they just thought he was drunk and crazy. Who knows, after waking up, this kid really didn't say much, he went to the ravine and cultivated alone for three years, and when he returned to the city, he was really admitted to a graduate school of foreign languages, and when he was still a graduate student, he was taken by a foreign language agency, and after graduation, he went directly to work, where he worked as a translator and translated more popular foreign novels. The other day, I met him on the street by chance, and I went to drink a few times, and asked him what he thought about going to the Institute of Foreign Languages for graduate school, and he told me the truth. At that time, he was really drunk, and he felt that it was not easy for him to take a certificate, so he bragged to his buddies there, saying that if he worked hard like this, he might really be able to get a graduate student majoring in foreign languages. As a result, of course, everyone laughed at him, and he continued to brag when he couldn't get off the stage. The next day, when he woke up, Fanyin came over, and his buddy mentioned the ambition he said when he was drunk the day before, and he felt too ashamed at that time, but after thinking about it, the eldest husband couldn't break his word, so he really went to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination, but it is conceivable that his vinegar that is not even half a bottle can be passed? Of course, he came back in a gloomy manner without even touching the edge of the admission score. I feel ashamed, but a little unwilling, in order to defend my male dignity, I simply went to the countryside to study and prepare for the war, he himself said that the awakening and perseverance at that time, not to mention the opposition of his family, even if he really let ten cows pull him, he may not be able to pull back. Later, his family saw that he was really hard-hearted, so he went with him, he stayed in the countryside for three years, and took the exam twice, but he still didn't win, but every time he was closer and closer to the admission score line, imagine another year of review, and the last time he took the exam was finally passed, although he didn't want him to apply for the major at that time, but he was transferred to other majors in the foreign language department, and he was very happy. He said that his mother cried when she heard that he was admitted, and she felt that her son was really not easy. But now that I think about it, I really admire the perseverance of this kid Qin Lei. ”
"yes. From the fact that he hasn't passed the fourth level six times and has been working hard, I feel that he is a special man. Cui Yuling also echoed after hearing this.
"I asked him what if he didn't get it the fourth time. He said that he would take the test for the fifth time until he passed it. Just like when he took the fourth level in college, he always worked hard again and again, and he was always luckier than someone who only worked hard once. Shi Hao smiled after speaking, "I always feel that this kid is the only one who doesn't want to do it, and there is no kind of person who can't do it himself." ”
As she spoke, she had already arrived at Cui Yuling's home on the outskirts of the city, which was a small two-story townhouse with an avant-garde simple industrial style villa, which had just been built not long ago. Entering the inside is very similar to the outside, and it is a very warm and pastoral style home decoration.
"I work very close to here, so I chose this place with my husband, who is also from this company, but he is only responsible for the UK domestic business." Maybe she felt the impact in my eyes, Cui Yuling explained to me after bringing the tea again.
I offered to walk around his house to see if there was anything in her house that disturbed her, and she smiled and nodded in agreement, leaving Shi Hao to talk to her while I looked around her house. Leaving aside the underground garage, her home is a small two-story home with four living rooms, three on the second floor and one on the first floor. The living room on the first floor should have been used as a study, Cui Yuling and her husband should have lived in the largest living room on the second floor, where their wedding photos were placed. Before I was about to pass by the living room, I passed by the study again, and stumbled upon an illustrated book that I had been looking for a long time on the outermost shelf. Sneak in and flip through it, you shouldn't be discovered, right? Thinking so in my heart, my hand had involuntarily pulled the book off the shelf, and I flipped it through it with satisfaction, and when I was about to put it back, I caught a glimpse of a person at the door staring at me, and turned my head to see that it was Shi Hao, scared me to death, thinking that I had been discovered.
Shi Hao looked at me for a long time: "Are you investigating?" ”
Because it was indeed me who stole other people's books first, I was embarrassed to defend myself: "Well, there is an illustration book that I have been looking for a long time, and when I saw it on the bookshelf, I flipped through it." Hey. I put the book back in its place and found that there were a few photos on the chest of drawers in the study, in addition to Cui Yuling, there was also a foreign man, presumably her current husband, there were a few photos of the two of them in casual clothes, hugging and hugging looked sweet, I swept through a few photos and finally stopped in front of a photo of a middle-aged man.
"Who is this man?" I said to myself.
"It's Yuling's father." Shi Hao watched me stare at the photo and explained to me, "Don't touch that photo, it's Yuling's baby." ”
After listening to Shi Hao's words, I quickly retracted the hand that was going to touch the photo: "Why is it her baby?" ”
"Because it was the last picture of my father when he died." Miss Cui didn't know when she came to the study.
Realizing that I had mentioned other people's sadness, I wrung my fingers a little embarrassed, and said stupidly: "I'm sorry, Miss Cui, I don't know about Ling Zun's death, I'm embarrassed to mention your sadness." ”
"It's okay, it's gone. Did Miss Zhu come to the study because she found a clue? Cui Yuling avoided the topic.
Because I came to the study for purely personal reasons, I didn't react to Cui Yuling's question for a while, but fortunately, Shi Hao relieved me: "I should be curious to see the photo when I was passing by, right?" It's no wonder that you don't have any other people's photos in your house except for photos of you and your husband. But the wedding photo you put in the foyer is quite beautiful, the two of you have been married for so long, and the wedding photo is really crooked enough. ”
"What are you talking about?" Cui Yuling slapped Shi Hao with disgust, and beckoned us to go to the living room for tea, when she closed the door of the study, I noticed that her eyes seemed to flash, because it was not real, and because Shi Hao was afraid that it would be more embarrassing to continue to stay inside, she quickly pulled me to the living room, and I didn't find anything again. But the conversation between Shi Hao and Cui Yuling just now made me discover something that I thought was strange from the time I entered this house, and in order to verify my thoughts, I decided to test Cui Yuling when I had tea.
Maybe she has been in the UK for a long time, Cui Yuling is very particular about afternoon tea and other refreshments, although it is not afternoon tea time, she still took out three shelves of snacks to entertain us.
"Although the food in the UK is really not very good, their seriousness about afternoon tea is unmatched." In order to alleviate the embarrassment just now, Miss Cui made a joke. We all laughed a little and took a mini ham sandwich from the bottom to eat.
