Chapter 20 Drunken Ambiguity
Lu Xiaojing looked at Dong Zhentang's mood very low, and she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't expect that Dean Dong, who seemed to be beautiful, had such an unbearable experience. She had to persuade politely, "Dean Dong, don't blame yourself too much, in fact, it's not entirely your fault in this matter!" ”。
Dong Zhentang glanced at Lu Xiaojing, and said with a wry smile, "Xiao Lu, you don't have to persuade me anything, I know what I did, and I also know how she died, this is my original sin, I only have to bear it myself, but sometimes my heart is sometimes too depressed, thank you for listening to me say these words, you are also the second person who knows this matter besides my sister!" ”。
When Lu Xiaojing heard Dong Zhentang say this, she was also shocked, so she said with some surprise, "Dong Yuan, your niece, no, doesn't she know about your daughter?" Dong Zhentang shook his head and said, "She doesn't know, my sister hasn't let me tell her these things, I'm afraid that she will find it difficult to accept if she knows, and I'm afraid that it will affect my current life, and I don't have the courage to say things now", Dong Zhentang looked thoughtfully ahead and continued, "Now that my sister has also passed away, she is even more lonely, I have decided to find a suitable opportunity to tell her the truth, whether she hates me or not, I can also be regarded as having an explanation for Chunmei-", after speaking, Dong Zhentang fell silent.
Lu Xiaojing looked at the man in front of her, who no longer had the usual majesty and momentum at this time, and became depressed and a little decadent. Lu Xiaojing indifferently rose a trace of sympathy and pity in her heart, she picked up the red wine and poured it full of wine for Dong Zhentang and herself, took the initiative to raise her wine glass and said, "Dong Yuan, don't think too much, some things have their specific historical conditions, since it has passed, don't dwell on its rights and wrongs, just do a good job in the present, don't let the future leave regrets."
Dong Zhentang listened to Lu Xiaojing's words, his thoughts returned to reality, his expression gradually calmed down, he also raised his wine glass, and said a little embarrassed, "Xiao Lu, let you see the smile, come, let's drink and talk about some happy topics", after speaking, the two of them raised their wine glasses and drank them all, and before they knew it, the second bottle of red wine was also drunk.
At this time, both of them were already getting drunk, especially Lu Xiaojing's cheeks were already crimson, and with the soft lighting in the box, it looked even more amorous. Dong Zhentang looked at Lu Xiaojing with a little drunken eyes, Lu Xiaojing felt a little embarrassed when Dong Zhentang looked at her like this, so she asked a little shyly, "Dong Yuan, why do you look at me like this, don't you know me?" ”。
Dong Zhentang continued to look at Lu Xiaojing, stared at it for a moment and said, "Xiao Lu, you are very much like a person", Lu Xiaojing said "Ao", and then asked, "Like whom?" ”。 Dong Zhentang held back a few words at a slower pace, "like Chunmei".
When Lu Xiaojing heard Dong Zhentang say that she was like Chunmei, she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Dong Yuan, you are drunk, you miss your Chunmei too much, so everyone looks like her-."
Dong Zhentang shook his head vigorously, "Xiao Lu, you are wrong, I was drinking, but I was not drunk, you are too much like her, from the moment I first saw you, my heart twitched, I couldn't believe my eyes at the time, you are like Chunmei reborn, since that moment, I have been paying attention to you!" ”。
Lu Xiaojing listened to Dong Zhentang's statement, and suddenly understood everything, she put her hands on the table, tilted her head forward, looked at Dong Zhentang with straight eyes, and said, "Dong Yuan, I understand, I am the shadow of Chunmei in your eyes, so you have been paying attention to me and helping me secretly, right!" ”。
Dong Zhentang looked a little embarrassed when he saw Lu Xiaojing asking himself so directly, and said a little brightly, "That's the case, but I didn't mean to blaspheme you, I hope you can understand." Lu Xiaojing said disapprerovingly, "Dong Yuan, you misunderstood, it is my blessing to meet such a good leader as you, and I really thank you for your care and support all the time", saying this, Lu Xiaojing grabbed the red wine and poured wine for Dong Zhentang, but as soon as she saw that the wine was gone, she called the waiter and asked her to serve four more bottles of Qingdao Chunsheng.
The waiter brought four bottles of beer, Lu Xiaojing poured Dong Zhentang and herself full, half charming and half drunk, and said, "Dong Yuan, I respect you for this glass, thank you for your love and support over the years, I did it", after drinking it all, Dong Zhentang looked at Lu Xiaojing's bold appearance, and he was also very interested, and the short-term wine glass was also drunk.
The two of them were completely unrestrained at this time, drinking, chatting, and laughing, and gradually Lu Xiaojing remembered Wu Qiming's betrayal again, and couldn't help but feel worried, and even cried silently after drinking a glass of wine. Dong Zhentang was frightened by Lu Xiaojing's sudden change in mood, and he asked eagerly, "Xiaojing, what's wrong, did I say the wrong thing?" No matter how Dong Zhentang asked or persuaded him, Lu Xiaojing just cried and didn't respond to Dong Zhentang.
In a hurry, Dong Zhentang got up from his seat, walked in front of Lu Xiaojing, picked up a tissue, and wanted to wipe Lu Xiaojing's tears with his hands, he wiped her tears while whispering comforting, "Xiaojing, don't cry, if you have anything sad, tell me", he comforted him like this, Lu Xiaojing's tears were even more surging, and suddenly, Lu Xiaojing hugged Dong Zhentang's waist, buried her head in Dong Zhentang's arms, and cried bitterly.
Dong Zhentang was stunned by Lu Xiaojing's sudden move, he was hugged tightly by Lu Xiaojing, Lu Xiaojing's body trembled in his arms because of crying, a little, Dong Zhentang calmed down, looking at this woman he loved and his favorite subordinate so sad, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
Dong Zhentang put his hand on Lu Xiaojing's back, stroked it gently, and continued to whisper comfort, "Xiaojing, don't cry, if you have anything to tell me, maybe I can help you-", he comforted over and over again, and gently patted and stroked her back, like a father to a daughter, and like a man to a lover, kind and tender.
Full, Lu Xiaojing's crying gradually stopped, and when Lu Xiaojing completely stopped crying, Dong Zhentang said softly to Lu Xiaojing, "Good, Xiaojing, you sit down, tell me something, sometimes saying it is the best way to heal the pain", Lu Xiaojing listened to Dong Zhentang's words, let go of the hand holding Dong Zhentang, and sat up straight again, because of her gaffe just now, she also felt a little embarrassed.
Dong Zhentang also sat down again, reached out and grabbed one of Lu Xiaojing's hands, Lu Xiaojing did not refuse, Dong Zhentang said to her, "Tell me, what is it that makes you so sad."
Lu Xiaojing wiped the remaining tears on her face with her other hand, and said softly, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that my husband cheated, and he has been suppressed recently", Dong Zhentang was also surprised when he heard Lu Xiaojing say that her husband was cheating. Subsequently, Lu Xiaojing withdrew the hand that was grabbed by Dong Zhentang, poured herself a glass of wine, and then drank it in one go, and told Dong Zhentang about Wu Qiming's derailment.
Dong Zhentang listened to Lu Xiaojing's statement, pondered for a long time, poured wine for his Lu Xiaojing, and said, "Come, Xiaojing, let's have another drink", the two of them picked up the wine glass and drank the wine again. Dong Zhentang said to Lu Xiaojing, "It's his fault that your husband cheats, I think you have to think carefully about this issue, you can't be emotional, some things are not perfect, and the same is true for marriage, I still hope you can't give up on marriage lightly", and then, Dong Zhentang analyzed Lu Xiaojing from various angles and some examples in reality.
After listening to Dong Zhentang's reasonable analysis and persuasion, Lu Xiaojing was also in a much more cheerful mood, and at the same time, she also had more admiration for the man in front of her. The two of them opened up and talked a lot, and finally the beer they asked for for the third time was also drunk, and because the stamina of the wine was getting bigger and bigger, the two of them reached a half-drunk state.
Dong Zhentang looked at his watch, it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, he said to Lu Xiaojing, "Xiaojing, let's stop tonight, this is the most relaxing night I have been in years", Lu Xiaojing also smiled and said to him, "Well, I am also very happy tonight, I really want this kind of time to continue forever!" ”。
Dong Zhentang squinted at Lu Xiaojing with drunken eyes and said, "Xiaojing, haha, I can't wait if you are not married and I am unmarried!" When Lu Xiaojing heard Dong Zhentang say this, she quipped with a strong sense of wine, "Why don't you treat me as your spring plum", Dong Zhentang laughed and said, "Xiaojing, I guess I don't have that blessing anymore."
Saying that, Dong Zhentang stood up and said, "Xiaojing, let's come to Japan for a long time, I'll go to settle the bill", and staggered out of the box, Lu Xiaojing also stood up a little unsteadily, holding Dong Zhentang's arm, and the two of them staggered downstairs.
