Chapter 2: Call Me Junhong
The weather in October was a little cool, Menghan tucked the collar of his air-conditioned shirt, and followed Xia Hanshan out of the Toyota car. She closed the car door and walked slowly along the boulevard where the magnolia petals fluttered, the setting sun lengthening the melancholy dusk.
Ahead, the "Xinyue" coffee house is shrouded in greenery.
The "air pineapple" hangs like a green curtain, floating in front of every window of the coffee house, and the soft music flows like flowing water, staggering on this street, and a strong smell of coffee rushes to the face.
"Nian Junhong is waiting for you in the 203 box of the coffee house." Before getting out of the car, Xia Hanshan put down the strap of his mobile phone from his ear, turned his head and told his daughter: "I have wronged you, Hanhan." If you regret it now, I'll turn around and take you home right away. ”
"I don't regret it, Dad! This matter is related to the fate of our family, so, Dad, I will not regret it. I've grown up, I already have my own thoughts, and I can share the burden for this family, you let me go! ”
"Alright then!" Xia Hanshan gritted his teeth, opened the bumper of the car door, and looked at his daughter again.
The latter's face was a calmness that was inappropriate for her age.
"I'm leaving, Dad." Menghan waved at his father, and then walked quickly towards the "Xinyue" coffee house.
Even if she has a thousand unwillingness in her heart, what can she do? Life had to go on, and she couldn't let her family lose bread and milk because of her refusal—
In the face of the tragic reality, the romance of the so-called love with Ziyu seems too extravagant!
Autumn is slightly cool, Menghan wore an apricot-colored lace dress at the request of her father, and put a small pink suit on the outside, and the light-colored dress made her skin more and more delicate. The eyes as clear as autumn water became even more crystal clear, but at this moment, there was a layer of mist in those beautiful big eyes.
Knocking on the door of the box, Nian Junhong politely bowed slightly to his friend's daughter, watching this man who was one round older than him saluting him, Xia Menghan felt a little funny.
"Hello, Uncle Nian!" She greeted Nian Junhong politely and sat down in front of him.
"Am I that old?" The latter's face was displeased, "Call me Junhong!" It will be called that in the future. ”
Two red clouds flew up on Menghan's face, she got up again, and bowed slightly towards Nian Junhong: "Oh, Nian...... Hello Junhong! ”
"Sit down, come, what to drink?" Nian Junhong smiled with satisfaction on his face. The aura of the king who originally threatened the world was a little restrained in front of Menghan, and his deep eyes and bronzed skin were as charming as ever.
This is an out-of-season king! Menghan said silently in his heart.
"A glass of orange juice." She responded, observing the soon-to-be man in front of her.
He must have been so handsome when he was young, but it's a pity that Shaohua has passed away.
"Graduated from college, huh? Where do you work? The angry king asked knowingly.
"It's been almost a year since I graduated, and I've just started working at the town's central primary school." Xia Menghan responded like reciting lines.
"Menghan, have you thought about the matter of marrying me?" This guy gets straight to the point.
"Think about it."
"So are you willing to marry me?" Still uneasy, he asked.
"Yes!" Menghan thought that his voice was loud, but in fact it was like a mosquito humming.
"Say it louder, I can't hear clearly." Jun Hong asked in a loud voice.
"Okay, I'm willing, Uncle Nian-Junhong!" Menghan raised the decibels, and after realizing that he had called the wrong name, he changed it halfway, "As long as you help our family solve the problem of real estate and my mother's medical expenses, I will marry you and never regret it." My dad mentioned it to me before, and I have no objection. ”
Oh, is that a deal? What role did he play in this deal. Menghan didn't think sarcastically, a pig? No, she seems to be worth more than a pig! Who has ever seen a pig sold for millions? She's a "diamond pig"! If you can be a "diamond pig", it is not bad.
Thinking of this, she sneered at herself in her heart - at least she made such a decision today to help her family get through the difficult time. What price did she pay? Youth, love, or dreams? She didn't dare to think about it anymore......
"Don't worry, as long as you marry me, I will be the quasi-son-in-law of the Xia family. Your mother's business is my business, and I naturally have to take responsibility. "When this guy said this, he didn't blush at all, he was really thick-skinned.
Menghan began to imagine the scene of Nian Junhong calling their father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of her parents, oh, what an embarrassing scene it must be!
The coffee was already served, but Junhong was not in a hurry to drink it, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out of it, lit it, and then leaned back, slowly exhaling a beautiful smoke ring: "Menghan, have you ever been in love?"
"I didn't ...... No. When Menghan answered, she found that the gaze of Nian Junhong on the other side was sharp, intentionally or unintentionally.
Xia Menghan wondered about his performance, why did he try his best to show his purity in front of this man? What does he have to do with her, in normal times, she doesn't care about his opinion? It's just that her father's tired figure flashed in her mind again and again.
Then it is the hope of a happy family of origin! For the sake of this family, for the sake of her sick mother, she is willing to try her best to show her perfect side in front of her future husband, it must be like this! She asked herself again in her heart, and the answer was yes.
Well, then satisfy his virgin complex! After meeting Nian Junhong this time, she was afraid that she would no longer be able to entangle with Ziyu. Oh, Ziyu, goodbye! It's better to never see each other again.
In fact, although she and Ziyu are often together, they have not done anything out of the ordinary except holding hands and kissing.
Since she was a child, she has been so perverse and sensible, to be exact, she has a strong self-discipline! In short, she is not a casual woman.
Unexpectedly, although this young Junhong is a handful of years old and has been married once, the requirements are still quite high. The worldview of rich people is just different. Rich? Oh, she was also the daughter of a rich family, but that's a thing of the past.
Nian Junhong's face turned pale, he picked up the coffee, took a sip, and showed a hint of imperceptible pride on his lips: "When you get married, I will put the other money that your family needs into your father's bank card." ”
"When will you get married?" Menghan asked, this guy didn't want her impatiently, which was a bit of a surprise to her. But she asked this sentence just now, which made her feel a little abrupt.
It's too late to think about it so much, if Nian Junhong is not in a hurry to send money to his father, it means that the family's house will be taken over by the bank sooner or later, which means that his mother will suffer from one more day of illness, or she will lose the best time for treatment. She doesn't want such an ending, she doesn't care about shame or shame, she still marries herself early.
"What do you say?" Nian Junhong leaned back, put the hand holding the cigarette into his mouth again, and spit out a beautiful smoke ring.
"It's better tomorrow." As soon as the words came out, Menghan had the urge to cover her mouth, and she tried her best to restrain herself so as not to do this funny act.
There was a soft, loud applause—the "out-of-breath king" slowly clapped his hands.
"Refreshing." Nian Junhong said loudly, "Miss Menghan, have you thought about it?" Preparing for a wedding can take two weeks. Having a big wedding? This is the most beautiful dream in almost every girl's heart. My little bride, don't you want our wedding to be a little grander? ”
Naturally, I want to, but it's not the palace where I married a bad old man like you.
Menghan cursed in his heart.
She showed a bright smile on her face: "I think I want to, Uncle Nian, it's just that my mother's surgery fee is a problem, Uncle Nian, do you know?" My mom is going to have surgery next week, and the doctor said the sooner my mom has surgery, the better the chance of cure. ”
"No, Hanhan, you forgot what to call me again. Uncle Year! Am I that old? This is the last time you're allowed to call me that, not as an example. Nian Junhong folded his hands, and then rubbed his index finger on his temples, "So be it! I'll help you pay for your mother's surgery first. ”
Jun Hong said that year, took out a bank card from the pocket of his jacket and suit, and handed it to Xia Menghan: "Here is 600,000 yuan, excluding the operation fee for my mother-in-law, the remaining 100,000 yuan should be more than enough for her to nourish her body." ”
Xia Menghan stretched out her hand and took the bank card, she found that her palms were sweating, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
"You're going to take your wedding leave from next week, and we're going to take wedding photos. What do you think? ”
Oh! What is this? What is she?
"Diamond Pig!"
Menghan gave himself a satisfactory answer in his heart.
Her heart ached: Ziyu, farewell, my beloved man.
"Okay!" Menghan replied.
What else could she say but say yes? At least my mother's medical bills have been settled.
She picked up the cup full of orange juice and drank it down.
