Chapter Seventy-Five: The Heart of Ignorance is Cold, Very Cold
In the past 25 years, what Jing Xi is looking forward to most is that one day he can be in the capital, as the eldest son of Jing Hongtao, and the person he can share with him, travel freely without discrimination.
At the first hot pot banquet for the employees and their families of the Magic Bar Beijing website, among a couple or husband and wife who love each other, Jing Xi couldn't help but feel a little lonely and desolate.
But a married person, he will not let outsiders even his own employees see the slightest flaw in this sensitive place.
This well-known hot pot restaurant in Beijing is full even at noon in the summer.
In such a bustle, no matter how desolate he is, he will be driven by the buzz of people here to stop looking at his mobile phone for the time being.
Jing Xi faced the doubts of the employees, stood in the perspective of a boss, and explained with the compassion of a husband: "I regret that Qi Yue is absent today, but this regret is for a better reunion next time, as everyone saw the news, she recently took over a talk show on Qingcheng TV, this program is a test of Qi Yue's ability to observe words and colors, and persuasiveness, she has been in the hotel almost every day recently, I am embarrassed to bother her, everyone does not have to be disappointed, to our wedding day, and then get together with everyone." ”
Jing Xi picked up his wine glass and walked around: "Come, toast to the prosperity of the magic bar in the capital." ”
"Cheers ......"
The activities of the group, the excitement of the group, and the impeccable and huge sparks of the Jingcheng Station of the Magic Bar are what Jing Xi wants to see.
He also used wine and happiness to cover up the loneliness in his heart, took out his mobile phone that he couldn't bear to leave, and connected Cen Rui and Chu Xiao in Qingcheng on the spot.
Jing Xi couldn't stand it, ran to the bathroom and washed his face, and when he was a little sober, he still couldn't hold back, and took out the mobile phone in the pocket of his jeans and looked at it.
School's, Magic Bar's, CJ's, Cen Rui's, Mother's, Xi Xuan's...... Dozens of WeChat messages occupied his screen, and he swiped up and down, slid and swiped, all to see the one he wanted to see the most.
For a moment, he really wanted to throw away his phone as if he was angry, but he was afraid that the next second he threw it, Qi Yue would send a message.
Throughout the morning, he would look at the screen of his phone every once in a while to see if there was any information such as Qi Yue's inquiry.
He didn't dare to care anymore, he just asked, but he didn't even ask.
It seems that Qi Yue's self-reliance in a strange city is very good, yes, now a mobile phone can solve a lot of problems, and she is a master who doesn't need his financial support, what is there for him to worry about.
Jing Xi met his opponent this time, and he was still the opponent who made him bow down.
Why is Chu Xiao so good at dealing with women, he can always be at ease in the thousands of flowers, why did he come to him, he seemed so lonely, so passive, and so disappointed.
It's been so many days since the marriage news was announced, Cen Rui and Chu Xiao sent messages every day to ask how they were doing, and when they would go back to Qingcheng to hold a homecoming banquet at the Demon Bar?
In the face of all difficulties, there is a brave and resourceful Jing Xi, but he has made difficulties in the face of such a problem.
He didn't even know how to answer.
Out of the protection of the dignity of men, he could only reply in the three groups: Soon, we will go back when the wedding in the capital is over.
Qi Yue finished lunch at a fast-food restaurant and flipped through his phone to call Jing Xi.
She looked at her watch, it was almost two o'clock, Jing Xi entertained the employees of the capital for the first time, and after the dinner, she might chat about business for a while, and have a small meeting by the way......
Qi Yue put down the phone in a tangled way.
How could she not know that she is too easy to think too much, this is an advantage in work, and in marriage, it is a distrust of the relationship between husband and wife, she can't disturb him, put away her mobile phone and go back to the hotel.
After Jing Xi finished the dinner, he didn't want to go back to the hotel to get his clothes, so he went to a men's clothing store nearby, bought a new suit from the inside out, and when he passed by a gold store, he went in and picked out a set of platinum jewelry, and stopped a taxi at the door of the gold store to go to the villa.
Jingjia Villa ushered in Jing Hongtao's 56th birthday today, and Jing Taisi Rulan arranged the villa inside and outside the high-end atmosphere early, and the full set of red decorations showed the joy of the Jing family.
The gorgeous lights of all kinds hit all kinds of red equipment brightly, and the magnificent and luxurious Jing family made Jing Xi suddenly feel a sense of incompatibility.
The red light in his eyes stabbed Jing Xi more and more dizzy after drinking.
In the years when he was by his mother's side, his clothes and supplies were always monotonous black and white, or cold, and he didn't even dare to mention the word "red".
Every important holiday, watching the various celebration parties on the TV, the joy of other families reuniting, in Jing Xi's eyes, will only aggravate the hatred - someone, so desperate that he didn't even leave a group photo of his thoughts.
Another blink of an eye, my mother's eyes were full of tears.
When I was a child, my mother would pretend to be moved by the performances of sketch actors on TV.
At that time, he didn't understand feelings, didn't understand marriage, couldn't comfort, didn't have comfort.
Because he deeply understands that in the end of all comfort, the status quo that he cannot change will only add to his mother's troubles, so it is better to hand her a glass of warm milk and advise: "Go to bed early, and when you fall asleep, you will not think about anything." ”
When he grew up and was about to leave Dongcheng to go out to study, his mother said to him for the first time in 18 years: "You are now an adult, and it is time to gradually understand feelings, understand feelings, mother welcomes, expects, one day, you can bring back a girl you really like back, and make our imperfect home perfect;
Over the years, although my mother is a person, my mother has had that unforgettable relationship, and there is no regret until now, the real regret is that I have lived until now, and I have not really understood love. ”
When Jing Xi thought of his mother, his eyes were irrepressibly wet.
Si Rulan came down from the second floor, only to see him at the door: "Jing Xi is here." On the stairs, she looked behind him in the air, "What about Qi Yue?" ”
Jing Xi was not in the mood to entertain her, and said perfunctorily: "Qi Yue has some official business, come over when you finish dealing with it, where will we sleep tonight?" ”
"I'll show you there."
Si Rulan led him to the bedroom area on the third floor and opened the first room on the left.
The spacious and bright room, the new and shiny furniture, Jing Xi can't help but hate it.
"At the beginning of the renovation of the Jing family, Hongtao opened this room out and left it empty, it has been empty for more than ten years, until a few days ago, he told you about your mother, and asked me to sort out this room, I only knew, this is specially prepared for you, just so that one day, you can go home." Si Rulan wanted him to see this room clearly and win him over.
Jing Xi followed her carefully, the new configuration, and specially prepared crystal and flower ornaments for a little girl of Qi Yue's age, which was more expensive and gorgeous than the new house in Dongcheng, except that the red color turned pink.
But today, he was just not in the mood: "Thank you Auntie for bothering, it's just that tonight this room is better left for Qi Yue and Jing Yao, tonight Dad invited Gong Yao to come, I will talk to Gong Yao alone, it may be more in line with Dad's liking, after all, tonight's theme is Gong Yao and Jing Yao." ”
Si Rulan really admired Jing Xi's sensibility and said with a smile: "Then I will ask you to help Yaoyao observe Gong Yao tonight." ”
Jing Xi nodded and smiled: "I will." ”
