Chapter 038: So It Was Like This (Part II)
What happened to Ling Ye and Zheng Kai? I still remember that Zheng Kai told me that Ling Ye is not a good person, if Zheng Kai really did something sorry for Ling Ye, it would be impossible to bite back. Zheng Kaizhen is not such a yin and yang person, he is simple and direct, I believe I will not look at the wrong person.
Today, Zheng Kai came to report, and I waited at the front desk after punching the card, hoping to see him appear in front of me unscathed.
After a while, Zheng Kai hurried over, he had the same bruise on his face, and I nervously stepped forward to blame: "You are crazy, how old are you, and you still go to fight?" When Zheng Kai saw me, he covered his face with his hand and whispered, "You wait for me for a while." He walked to the front desk, took his fingerprints, typed the card, and took my hand to the stairwell.
"Why did you keep turning off your phone yesterday?" I was furious. "Hey!" Zheng Kai covered his face with his hands.
I forcefully removed his hand, "Yesterday I heard Sasha say that you stole Ling Ye's things, what the hell is going on?" If there is a misunderstanding, make it clear. Zheng Kai lowered his head and held his forehead with one hand, "I knew that he would always be so high." ”
I saw Zheng Kai's pain, put my hands on his shoulders, and asked softly, "What the hell is going on?" I don't want you to hide anything from me, you know how anxious I was yesterday! ”
"First of all, I'm sorry, Yanyan, I'm in a hurry for you." Zheng Kai took a few steps back and leaned against the wall weakly, "I think it's time to sue you, but there are some words that men don't say as easily as you women. ”
I leaned against the handrail of the stairs and reassured, "I understand that men's emotions are deeper, but sincerity in front of our friendship is the most important thing. ”
Zheng Kai smiled bitterly: "That's right! You're right! Sincerity is the most important thing, we are best friends, I should not hide it from you. It's my pride that is at work, and I don't want to ruin your good impression of me. "No, no matter what the truth is, we are the best and best friends, and you still have a good impression in my heart." I comforted.
Zheng Kai rubbed the bruises on his cheeks and told me about his college past with Ling Ye sincerely.
At that time, Zheng Kai's mother suffered from chronic mental illness and had been treated in the hospital for a long time, and his father was a salaryman, so the family situation was relatively poor, and the monthly living expenses of 500 yuan were still made up by relatives and friends. Zheng Kai studied hard when he was in school, and he figured out his own efforts to get out of poverty. However, he has a very strong sense of self-esteem, and he has never talked to outsiders about these things at home.
Ling Ye in his eyes is a swinger, and family reasons lead him to be withdrawn, cynical, and rarely take people and things seriously. But Ling Ye was very good to Zheng Kai, which was also the most touching thing in Zheng Kai's life.
"You want to be good, why can't you continue your friendship?" I asked, puzzled. Zheng Kai smiled, "Everyone has their own ambitions!" ”
Zheng Kai said that people have their own ambitions, referring to the problem of ambition. Although the relationship between the two is good, their personalities are very different, and Ling Ye's rich son style makes Zheng Kai unaccustomed to it many times. Good friends can't get used to it, and the other two roommates who live with them can't get used to it.
Ling Ye always looked like he was on top, often giving orders to others, as if everyone was inferior to him. The roommate also despised him because Zheng Kai had a good relationship with Ling Ye, saying that he was trying to climb high branches, but Zheng Kai didn't explain much, thinking that time would prove that justice was in the hearts of the people.
Zheng Kai was straightforward, and he also tried to persuade Ling Ye to change his stinky temper, but Ling Ye said a very hurtful sentence, "People are born into high and low, my superiority is innate, of course the poor don't understand." ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but shake my head, Ling Ye was indeed such a person, always looking high, thinking that everyone in the world should revolve around him, and he would lose his temper if it didn't go his way.
Zheng Kai continued: "So I advise you not to come to Meihua, I just don't want you to be angry." We are all raised by our mother's biological parents, so why are we looked down upon. ”
"But the social reality is like this, it has become a natural law for high status to bully low status, and the law of the jungle is the strong! Although I am particularly reluctant to admit it, I am learning to face it now. I said helplessly.
"Yanyan, you're bowing to reality, not like the female man I know." Zheng Kai sighed, "I don't believe in fate!" I don't believe in the law of the jungle, I believe that society will change one day. ”
"No longer distorted, no longer repressed, no longer gloomy?" As I spoke, it was as if I saw a glimmer of dawn in a dark corridor, and I sat at Ling Ye's desk in a golden light and gave orders to my subordinates......
Zheng Kai pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "I didn't steal Ling Ye's things, I know who stole them, but I can't say that everyone has their own difficulties, but Ling Ye doesn't understand this." "I finally breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that Zheng Kai didn't steal it! I asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
It turned out that Zheng Kai went back to the dormitory that day and saw that his roommate was prying Ling Ye's safe, and Zheng Kai stepped forward to stop him. The roommate immediately knelt on the ground and begged Zheng Kai for forgiveness, and also told about his poor family background, not letting Zheng Kai tell Ling Ye. Zheng Kai was soft-hearted, and when he saw the sympathy of his roommate kneeling on the ground, he agreed to his request and asked him to mend his ways.
As a result, two days later, the 100,000 yuan in Ling Ye's safe disappeared. Zheng Kai found his roommate for interrogation, but the roommate did not admit it, and Zheng Kai relented and did not expose the matter. He felt that Ling Ye was rich, and he was not short of the 100,000 yuan, but if he reported the case, this roommate's life would leave an indelible stain.
Zheng Kai chose to remain silent, but after that, he suffered an inexplicable extra 20,000 yuan under his pillow.
"Why are there those 20,000 yuan?" I'm like an interrogator at this point. Zheng Kai shrugged helplessly, "I don't know, there are 20,000 more for some reason." But I was really weak at the time, because I had something to hide from Ling Ye, so I spoke at a loss. ”
"You can defend yourself!" I'm right. Zheng Kai slid weakly against the wall, "Is it useful to defend yourself?" You can also see what kind of person Ling Ye is. I still remember what he said at the time, it hurt my self-esteem so much, I didn't even think that he looked at me like that all the time. He thought I was poor and I did what all poor people should do. ”
At this point, I don't know what to say, or to continue to ask about it? Or do you want to comfort Zheng Kai? But how can I comfort him, what he needs is Ling Ye's sincere apology to him, and the damage after being trampled on his self-esteem will be healed.
I approached Zheng Kai and put my arm around his shoulder, "I know that you have been wronged from beginning to end in this matter, and I apologize to you on behalf of Ling Ye." I patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Be happy, you will work in the same company in the future, and you can't look up and see you down, so you can't be sad." ”
"If it weren't for you in Meihua, I really planned to never see him again for the rest of my life. When I returned 100,000 yuan to him yesterday, he actually threw the money away, do you know that the money was earned by myself desperately? Zheng Kai's eyes were slightly red.
It's too much of a bully! Ling Ye is too ignorant, maybe in his eyes money is just a few pieces of broken paper, but he will never understand the importance of money to Zheng Kai and me. I hugged Zheng Kai and was sad. I don't know how to comfort him, but I want to ask Ling Ye for justice for Zheng Kai.
Of course not now, because I am also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. However, one day I will try my best to prove my strength, and maybe then I can justifiably accuse Ling Ye and tell him that the gap between the rich and the poor has nothing to do with human nature, and I hope that day will not be too far away.
I picked up Zheng Kai and rubbed the bruises on his cheeks, "Let's go to the pharmacy at noon and buy you some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicines." "Wow! Scorching! Zheng Kai pinched my face. We looked at each other and smiled, and this smile was full of comfort, pity and encouragement.
