Chapter 225: I just want you to have a good meal
Zhou Lai was not idle, and introduced the situation of the house to Jiang Guangguang on the way. I guess I said it over there, and he said it quite carefully.
The house has been bought for several years and has been renovated for two years. At the beginning, it was a wedding room, and the marriage was not completed.
Now the owner of the house has lost money, so he plans to sell it first to relieve the pressure. Because it is sold urgently, the price is slightly lower than the market price.
Jiang Guangguang was quite satisfied with it, she had seen a lot of houses these days, and the prices were indeed lower than the market. From Zhou Lai's mouth, there are no unacceptable shortcomings.
She felt like pie in the sky.
Zhou Lai smiled and said, "I have to go and see the specifics, I haven't seen it, I heard what it said over there." Who sells things that don't look good? ”
This is also true, Jiang Guangguang nodded.
The two of them went to eat a small hot pot, and they had just gotten off work at this time, and there were not many people. Zhou Lai originally wanted a private room, but Jiang Guangguang said no, so he just found a place to sit down by the window.
The taste of the hot pot is very good, Zhou Lai fished the dishes, and let Jiang Guangguang taste this and that from time to time.
Jiang Guangguang was a little unaccustomed to him like this. Again and again said that she would come by herself.
probably saw that she was not used to it, but Zhou Lai was not reluctant, and there was a little obscurity in her eyes.
Jiang Guangguang didn't notice his strange appearance and asked about Luo Yilai. Zhou Lai said that it was the same, but in the end, he was old, and there were often some small problems.
Jiang Guangguang didn't come back to see her this time, so he thought about going back after finding a job. lest she worry about it when the time comes.
While the two were talking, a female voice sounded: "Zhou Lai? ”
The voice was a little familiar, and Jiang Guangguang looked up. Zhao Xiaoxiao stood aside with a big belly, her hair had been cut short, and she was wearing an off-white thin sweater jacket.
She has always eaten with her head down, and Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't see her face. At this time, I was a little surprised to see her raise her head, and then smiled and greeted calmly: "When did I think I came back?" ”
She quickly calmed down, but Jiang Guangguang looked at her big belly but was stunned for a while, and subconsciously went to see Zhou Lai.
Zhou Lai's face was pale, and he nodded slightly as a greeting, and said, "Alone? ”
Zhao Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "No, my husband also came over and parked outside." ”
Jiang Guangguang was even more stunned when he heard the word husband, Zhao Xiaoxiao seemed to know what she was thinking, smiled slightly, and said, "Didn't he tell you?" We've broken up a long time ago. ”
She should be married very well, and when she talks about the past, she is light and breezy.
Jiang Guangguang reacted after a long while, and before he could speak, Zhao Xiaoxiao's husband walked over. looks mediocre, but it can be seen that Zhao Xiaoxiao hurts very much, so he carried the bag for her as soon as he came, and then told her to be careful of the slippery floor.
The two quickly left, and after a long while, Jiang Guangguang asked, "When did you break up?" ”
"It's been a long time." Zhou Lai's tone was light, he paused, and said in a low voice: "I delayed her." ”
He didn't see any sadness, Jiang Guangguang thought of Aunt Luo, who was looking forward to holding her grandson, and his heart was a little heavy.
Fortunately, the owner of the house called and said that he was off work and asked them to come over, so he brought what had just happened.
The house is nearby, not far away. The other party is an elite person in his thirties and is engaged in finance. A hurried look.
As soon as we met, I talked about the various things about the house, because I was in urgent need of money, I didn't want to wait for a loan from the bank, and I wanted to pay it in full. This is the reason why the price is lower than the market price.
The community is quite large, the greening is also very good, and the supporting facilities are complete. The location of the house is good, the floor is the twelfth floor. Zhou Lai and the owner of the house are quite familiar, and when they go upstairs, they smoke outside and let Jiang Guangguang see it for himself.
The decoration of the house is European-style, low-key and luxurious. The house type is also very good. Jiang Guangguang didn't see anything dissatisfied.
She originally wanted to ask Zhou Lai what he meant, but thinking that Zhou Lai was friends with people, she still didn't ask. I just said that I was quite satisfied, but I still had to think about it again, let someone leave a call, and she would definitely reply to him tomorrow.
She can't see anything bad, but Guo Shu can see it.
Buying a house is not buying groceries, and of course it is impossible to make a decision so quickly. The man was not unhappy, nodded well, left a phone call for Jiang Guangguang, said that he was busy, and left in a hurry after a few words of greeting with Zhou Lai.
Zhao Xiaoxiao's big belly was quite shocking to Jiang Guangguang, this matter was pressed in her heart, and on the way back, she couldn't help but ask, "When did Miss Zhao get married?" ”
Zhou Lai was slightly stunned and said, "It's been half a year." ”
He should have known what Jiang Guangguang was thinking, so he smiled faintly and said, "It's quite dangerous to do this business. If you can't take care of your family, getting married will only delay others. ”
What he said was the truth, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered Jiang Guangguang's parents. He stopped at once.
I wanted to say sorry, but the words were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say a word.
Jiang Guangguang's body stiffened slightly, and no one spoke for a while. After a long while, Zhou Lai asked, "Do you want to go to the bar and sit?" ”
His face was blurred in the dim yellow light that kept flickering, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
Although his expression has always been faint, his emotions have been a little wrong since he saw Zhao Xiaoxiao, Jiang Guangguang was silent for a moment, and nodded in response.
Zhou Lai should rarely go to a place like a bar, and it was very noisy to walk two times in a row, and his brows couldn't help frowning. In the end, the two bought wine and sat in the square to drink.
At this time, it was almost ten o'clock, and the bustle of the square had dissipated, and it was a little deserted.
After drinking for a while, Jiang Guangguang asked, "Aren't you going to get married?" ”
Zhou Lai smiled faintly and said, "Let's talk about it." After a slight pause, he looked sideways at Jiang Guangguang and asked, "What about you?" ”
She was thin and small, with a simple shirt and jeans and sneakers, and she looked like a student. I can't tell that I'm already the mother of the child.
Jiang Guangguang didn't expect him to ask about himself, he was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I'm fine like this now." ”
He didn't want to see Cheng Rongjian, obviously he had a lot to ask, but he didn't ask anything. The two of them drank in silence.
Zhou Lai was measured, and after drinking not much wine, he sent Jiang Guangguang home.
Jiang Guangguang woke up the next day with a little pain in her head, she didn't forget about the house, and took out her mobile phone to call Guo Shu while going to wash.
Although it's quite early, Guo Shu got up early. Morning jogging. Hearing what Jiang Guangguang said, he asked her to send him the location and floor of the house. He went to check first.
Jiang Guangguang thanked him, then edited the text message and sent it to him.
The resume she threw out yesterday was lost, and she still has to go out today. When she went downstairs, Huo Chongyun was also there, so she called Uncle Huo.
Huo Chongyun didn't ask her where she had been these days, and asked her to sit down to eat.
The trouble was getting up early, so he immediately patted the chair next to him and yelled for her to sit next to him.
He was very sensible, and he didn't wake her up this morning.
Jiang Guangguang's drowsiness has always been quite startled, probably because he drank alcohol, so he slept a little deeper.
Because Huo Chongyun is here. Jiang Guangguang didn't go out after eating as usual, and waited for Huo Chongyun to leave, and then went out.
She still runs the talent market in the morning, goes to the interview in the afternoon when she gets a call, or walks around to see where there are recruitments.
When the last interview came out in the afternoon, I saw Cheng Rongjian standing on the side. Jiang Guangguang didn't believe that this was a coincidence, and immediately wanted to dodge.
But at this time, she hadn't gotten off work yet, and there was no place to cover the entrance of the company, and she had nowhere to hide if she wanted to.
Cheng Rongjian naturally saw her and dusted off the ashes in his hands. chuckled lightly and said slowly, "Is it me over or are you coming?" ”
He has nothing to fear now. She always felt that the way he looked at him was a little ambiguous.
Jiang Guangguang's biggest headache now is undoubtedly that he met him, and he couldn't hide from him, so he had to say: "If you have something, just say it." ”
Cheng Rongjian looked her up and down and said, "You haven't been hungry for such a day?" I'll take you to eat. ”
Jiang Guangguang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately refused, "No, I'll go back and eat." ”
Cheng Rongjian snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, chuckled, looked at her, and said, "Ah Rong, are you forcing me to be rude to you?" This person comes and goes, if I do something."
He said something as if his face had suddenly changed, Jiang Guangguang's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth, but he was not his opponent, and he had to get into the car if he was unwilling.
Cheng Rongjian said that he really took her to eat, but when he sat in the restaurant, Jiang Guangguang was a little embarrassed.
She eats hard and not soft. A typical bullying of the soft and afraid of the hard.
Cheng Rongjian didn't ask her to order, she took the menu and ordered a lot of dishes. He ordered something to cushion his stomach and handed the menu to the waiter.
The waiter's movements were very fast, and it didn't take long for a plate of lotus seed cake to be served as small pieces as white jade.
Jiang Guangguang on the other side was taking a sip of tea, looking listless. Cheng Rongjian pushed the plate in front of her and said, "Eat some pastries first." ”
Jiang Guangguang didn't say anything, Cheng Rongjian was a little helpless, softened his voice, and said, "You ran for a day, I just want you to have a good meal." ”
The pastry in front of me is as white as jade, and it looks very attractive. Jiang Guangguang ate fast food at noon, and he ate a lot, but he didn't have much oil and water, and he was hungry.
But she remained silent.
"Do you want me to feed you?" Cheng Rongjian raised her eyebrows, pushed the pastry in front of her, and said, "I also have something to tell you." After a pause, he added, "Wait until you've eaten." ”
Jiang Guangguang glanced at him, then picked up the pastry and ate it, and said, "You can say it now." ”
She didn't know what Cheng Rongjian could say to her. The pastry is soft and glutinous, but not sweet at all. She ate one and took another.
Cheng Rongjian poured tea into her cup, didn't answer her words, and asked, "Is insomnia better?" ”
He has a pretty good memory.
Jiang Guangguang paused, but still replied.
Cheng Rongjian nodded, leaned back, and took out a cigarette to light it.
He didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't speak for a while, and smoke curled between his fingers.
After a short time of smoking, the waiter brought the food, and he snuffed out the cigarette butt and moved the teacup in the middle.
He ordered a number of dishes, soft and glutinous melt-in-your-mouth signature braised hooves, yam pork rib soup. Steamed sea bass, stir-fried shrimp, stir-fried bok choy, hibiscus custard, and a dish of bitter gourd.
He knew what she liked.
When the dish came up, he took the pastry aside, motioned for Jiang Guangguang to eat, and then took a bowl and served her soup.
Jiang Guangguang was not polite at this time, picked up the chopsticks and ate them. Cheng Rongjian didn't eat, and took chopsticks to hold the dishes for her.
When he got to the back, Jiang Guangguang said no, but he didn't reluctantly let it go. He put down his chopsticks, then continued to light a cigarette and smoked.
After a short while, he didn't know what he remembered, so he got up and went to find the waiter. Not knowing what to say, he quickly returned to his position.
After a few minutes, the waiter brought two glasses and a few bottles of wine that Jiang Guangguang had never seen before.
The waiter opened the bottle and went down quietly, Cheng Rongjian took a small cup, poured a small glass of amber wine and pushed it in front of Jiang Guangguang, and said, "Try it, this is the fruit wine launched here, it is very appetizing and quite famous." ”
Smelling the fragrance of the fruit, Jiang Guangguang took a look. She didn't plan to touch the wine, but she still didn't resist the temptation, so she took a small sip of the cup.
Cheng Rongjian seemed to know what she was thinking, and didn't persuade her, but just said a little lazily: "I won't get drunk." ”
Jiang Guangguang was silent.
She didn't know if it would be intoxicating, but the wine was delicious. She just drank and ate at the same time.
Cheng Rongjian was smoking a cigarette and watching her, and when her wine was gone, he poured it for her.
He didn't seem to have any intention of eating, Jiang Guangguang saw that he didn't move after eating for a while, so he glanced at him. Asked, "You don't eat?" ”
Cheng Rongjian spat out the smoke and said, "I'm not hungry yet." ”
He leaned back in his chair and smoked again. The smoke blurred his handsome face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
There was nothing in the private room for a while.
It wasn't until Jiang Guangguang finished eating that Cheng Rongjian raised his eyes to look at her.
He said he had something to say, but he never said anything. Jiang Guangguang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said, "If you have something, just say, it's not early, I still have to go back." ”
Cheng Rongjian sighed and dusted off the cigarette ash that had been burned for a long time. He said in a low voice, "I want to talk to you about the beginning." After a slight pause, he continued, "Whether you want to hear it or not, I have to say it." ”
mentioned that at the beginning, Jiang Guangguang's body stiffened.
Cheng Rongjian's face was a little tired, he handed the cigarette to his mouth and took a puff, and said, "Ah Rong" He said and looked up at Jiang Guangguang, and said in a hoarse voice: "It was me who was not good at that time." I only followed, I thought it was good for you, and I didn't ask you in the slightest what you thought, your opinion. ”
Jiang Guangguang was in a trance. Cheng Rongjian quickly lowered his head, spit out smoke, and said slowly: "I thought about it for a long time, and then I realized that at that time, the so-called despair and pain for your own good were all real to you. ”
All the paleness and despair of her had appeared in front of his eyes, and for a moment he was powerless to the extreme.
Jiang Guangguang wanted to say something to stop him from going on. But he couldn't say a word, so he sat in a daze.
Cheng Rongjian's face was extremely tired, and when he never thought about it, it was too late
His face gradually blurred in the smoke, and after a while, he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Didn't you ask me at that time if I thought about the future?" ”
He hadn't thought about it before she asked. He was alone at that time, and he never cared about life and death.
He sometimes thinks that if he had started planning early, then he would not have hastily hastily done so many irreparable things.
Judging from the attitude of the above along the river, he knew that it would not last long. At that time, he was irritable and powerless.
He promised her that when he thought about it, he knew that he could no longer sit still.
He slowly calmed down and began to plan. And his departure is not his departure alone. The people who follow him, once they fall into the hands of the above, will not end well.
They were born and died with him, and he could not let them fall into the hands of above. That's why he planned to fake his death, mutiny, and serious injuries. Only in this way can they be transferred out one by one.
At that time, it was the time to employ people around him. He knew that they would not leave him first, Aobei, he forced him to leave. Fearing that he would return, he immediately announced his suspended animation.
Only in this way, for fear of disrupting his plans, he will not come back desperately.
After Abei left, he remembered her. Her relationship with him was well known at that time along the river. Naturally, he couldn't even affect her.
He actually tried to send her away. But she wouldn't. He knew then that under such circumstances, it would be impossible for her to leave. At that time, Cheng Jinyan mentioned Ding Junqing, and Ding Junqing happened to go along the river, so he borrowed Ding Junqing to force her to leave.
He knew too well that if he had a relationship with her, even if Zhou Lai was there, she would definitely suffer a lot. They were interrogated in various ways and imprisoned.
He was in danger at that time, and he might not be able to take her away safely, so naturally he couldn't let him take the risk with him. Not to mention that she suffered from his involvement.
What he didn't expect was that she was so stubborn.
In the middle of the night, he thought more than once about giving up on persecuting her and taking her with him to leave. But in the end, I hardened my heart.
A lot of what she saw at that time was just appearances. During that time, he experienced several assassinations.
Every time it was a surprise, he avoided it dangerously.
Every time my heart softens, I think of her being with him. The dangers that need to be experienced, he hardened his heart again and again.
He didn't even know if he could survive, how could he take her with him and affect her?
When he looked at Guo Shu by her side, his heart hardened even more. His own future is uncertain, forcing her to leave before she can completely let go. If he had it, she would be able to get on with it.
That's why he took Ding Junqing with him and held a wedding with Ding Junqing to make her die.
He didn't want to bother anyone. Including Ding Junqing. Dante Junqing is different from her. She's been along the river for a short time, and the people above don't think she knows much about him. Moreover, her family still has some background, even if something happens to him, the people above will not embarrass her much.
He thought of everything at that time, and the only thing he didn't expect was that she would have a little one.
I didn't expect that Ding Junqing would be entangled more.
He and Ding Junqing were young at one time, and everyone had a love for beauty. He, of course, is no exception. He is with Ding Junqing entirely because she is beautiful.
He is not a person who treats feelings as child's play, and since they are together, they will take it seriously.
At that time, I was ignorant of the world and liked it, but it was not profound. Therefore, when Cheng Shuwei begged him, he agreed, even. Failure to take one's feelings into account.
When he broke up with Ding Junqing, Ding Junqing didn't know that he was going to Yanhe. He only told her that he was going abroad.
Ding Junqing cried for a long time at that time, obviously it was a relationship for several years, and it was false to say that he was not sad at all, but strangely, he was not moved.
Not long after he went along the river, Ding Junqing quickly went on a blind date, and then got married.
When Cheng Shuwei told him, he was still guilty. At that time, he was a little empty. He was actually sorry for her, but he knew that she was married, and he never paid attention to her news again.
When he was with Ding Junqing at that time, the two of them could be regarded as golden boys and girls, so Cheng Jinyan would mention it again and again.
Ding Junqing later came along the river, which was also due to Cheng Jinyan.
When he met Ding Junqing, she was different from before. The whole person was pale and thin, and it was not as bright as before.
At that time, he knew that she was not doing well.
The night he went to look for her, Ding Junqing cried for a long time, talking about her life over the years, her misfortunes over the years, and several times she wanted to commit suicide. Because the object she married was a scoundrel who couldn't be scum.
She also blamed him for leaving her like that in the first place. If she hadn't wanted to forget him, she wouldn't have gotten married on a blind date in such a hurry.
He was silent then, a little powerless. He knew that what she said was true. She has always had no shortage of suitors, and choosing such a person to marry in a hurry must be due to his sudden breakup.
