Chapter 300: Old Friends Meet
When the two separated that day, Mrs. Su suggested to me that I try Zhang Ruolei, maybe he was still ignorant.
"It's your responsibility to make him become or confirm that he's normal. Because have you thought about it, if he is really abnormal now, if he is normal again in a few years, he will blame you for not doing your best to save him. ”
She was standing in the doorway, and I stood in the light, squinting as if I couldn't really see her.
"What's more, Gao Tiancheng is no longer here, and there is no real obstacle between you."
I thought for a moment, then turned and walked down the stairs, the old lady's voice not shying away from people, and it sounded like a bell.
"Meizi, don't be a coward. Are you afraid that he has changed his mind, and you don't want to verify it yourself, right? ”
Right?
Maybe yes, maybe not, I stood in the yard blankly, then found my car on the side of the road at the door, started it, and drove home. But along the way, the old lady's words almost echoed in my ears, "You just don't want to ask for verification, you don't dare to face it, he may have changed his mind, or people have never loved you." ”
No, no, no, there should be a turn in front, just like my life with Zhang Ruolei, he and I both turned a corner when we should have turned, and then he met Xiao Han, and I met Gao Tiancheng.
We can't go back.
What's more, I now have Mason, and that's enough.
I pressed the car music, and there was an unfamiliar melody flowing from it, these are all songs that Wan Qian likes to listen to, I remember that I threw the car keys to her, and she caught it with a smile like a flower. She said that the car was awesome, and then she took care of all the little details in the car, including the songs, which were the songs she liked.
The next day, when I went to work in Su's, I met Zhang Ruolei head-on, and when he saw me, he slowed down his pace, and I also slowed down, but no matter how short the road should be, the two people who should meet will also meet.
"Mr. Mei." It's a bit raw, but it's normal.
"Mr. Zhang." I say. "Have you ----- to see your two aunts? I spoke to them on the phone yesterday, your eldest aunt and her children have gone abroad, and there is only one aunt left in the country, and she ------"
"I've been there." "People are empty, and they're still haunted by the past," he said. ”
He's normal. I thought sadly and disappointedly.
"So I don't have much contact right now."
I said, "Oh. ”
At this time, someone came over again, and the person greeted the two of us, and I passed by Zhang Ruolei. Then a reckless boy bumped into him, Zhang Ruolei let go of his hand, the handbag was knocked open, and something in it spread out and fell all over the ground, the man quickly squatted down, wanting to help Zhang Ruolei pick up those, but his face was flustered, and everything was within the reach of his eyes, and then he looked around in a panic.
I turned around and looked at all this, the doubts in my eyes became deeper, it shouldn't be Zhang Ruolei's expression, I remembered many of the past pictures that should belong to him, he was either cunning, or silent, or scheming, or....
.. It just shouldn't be the way it is now.
This is not the original Zhang Ruolei.
Back in the office, I called the old lady of the Su family, "You're right, this Zhang Ruolei is very problematic, I suspect that he has not returned to normal." Only if he does not return to normal, everything can be justified. ”
The old lady's voice was full of excitement, "I'll just say it!" What do you think? What's next for you? ”
yes, all of a sudden, I was stunned: what am I going to do next? And what can you plan? I do not know.
That day, I found an excuse and called him into my office.
"The property, stocks, and cash you gave me in the past, if there is no disagreement, I want to go and transfer the property." I say. "I have those agreements you signed, in fact, those have already taken legal effect, if you have no other plans, I ---- laugh at it."
He sat across from me, and I suddenly noticed in his many subtle movements that he was trying to remain as calm as possible in front of me. I looked at him suspiciously, and he pretended to be calm.
I am more and more sure that these, everything, his micro-expressions, body language, all of this, do not belong to the real Zhang Ruolei.
"You have a property, just downstairs from my current home, there is a safe there, if you don't mind, I think you will take it someday, that house you originally kept for me." I looked at him judgingly, hope, of course, hope, and I naturally saw the flaw.
I thought that if he promised to go now, I would have taken the opportunity to ask him many of the questions I had asked him before. Including, every inch of space he used to lay out with his own hands, if he couldn't answer as well as I expected. Then the answer is obvious.
Sure enough, he shirked the matter and didn't admit to me on the spot. Then turn around and leave.
When I got home that night, and when Mason was asleep, Ah Dong asked me, "What happened today?" ”
I looked back at him, "How so?" ”
"You've been in the mood all night."
I looked down and smiled, wondering whether to tell him the truth.
Ah Dong is also silent, he is not the kind of person who has to force me to say what is in my heart.
"Adong," I said, "I found that Zhang Ruolei has not returned to normal. But----" I looked up at Adong, "I may have been startled." I think Xiao Han may not have cured him. ”
Adong looked at me, "So -----"
I stood up, "I don't know, I know that it is difficult for me to cross the river by myself, and they are now a legal husband and wife, I am just his ex-wife, I can't claim anything at the legal level, and in private, maybe I can't do anything." ”
"But you still want to save him?"
I looked back blankly, was it to save him? I don't know, does he need to be rescued now? Everything seems to be fine with him now, like a beautiful flower, and he himself is very happy.
I don't know whether to break the semblance of this false prosperity or not.
I craned my jaw and saw my own shadow falling on the floor, the thin and thin shadow seemed so lonely, I wanted to cry, but I didn't
Know why.
Ah Dong walked over, "If you really want to, I can help you figure it out." ”
I looked up and held back tears.
"Adong, thank you!"
I stretched out my hand to touch his hand, suddenly sadness came from it, Adong sat forward a little, and then took me into his arms, I stretched out my arms and hugged him tightly, at that moment, I didn't want to think about anything anymore, at this time Adong's arms were like a sheltered harbor, I was a little tired, I wanted to stop.
Ah Dong gently stroked my back, and when everything was calm, I got up from him, and Ah Dong looked high-spirited.
"If you really want to, I can tie him up. Now Xiao Han is not by his side 24 hours a day, she feels that she has trained him well and has let him out to forage alone. ”
I let out a sigh of relief, "Let me think again." Mrs. Su said that if I don't make a move now, I may be blamed when he really comes to his senses in the future. ”
Ah Dong lowered his head and smiled, his fingers crossed together.
"You're not afraid that he will blame you, you can't get past yourself at all."
Yes.
Maybe yes!
Mrs. Su came to me non-stop, and she tried hard to persuade me to plot against Zhang Ruolei.
"No one told him the truth, do you think that's fair to him? He has the right to know all the truth, so how is he now different from confessing a thief as a father? Of course, Xiao Han is not his father, but he now regards Xiao Han as his savior. Would you like to see that? He was like a fool, more like a puppet. ”
Of course I didn't want to, but when I got him back and let him see me with Mason, I didn't know how to explain it to him.
"Perhaps, it would be best for me and him to stay in our past. In that way, he will always have a woman in his heart to care about, and I haven't had time to empathize with him at that time. Everything seems to be perfect. ”
The old lady was dismissive, she said, "The saddest thing about people is to deceive themselves, and women are especially so." ”
"You were divorced at the time. What's more, isn't it just as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He was redeemed by you, and now Gao Tiancheng is gone. Happy ending. Why don't you take another step? ”
yes, why wouldn't I take another step forward? There are no cliffs ahead, so I don't have to be afraid. Nor is there a road leading to Rome, but a bright and smooth road.
Why am I afraid?
I'm afraid that I can't really protect him well, I'm afraid of what he looks like when he knows the truth, how scared he is when he heard that his mother who he has called all his life has actually betrayed him, I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
In a lifetime, it is enough to be delayed once.
Because of that incident, we divorced, and a good marriage Lao Yan separated, and he exiled himself until, living like no one and no ghost, and now he has become Xiao Han's marionette.
Would he be happy if he knew what he had been going through? Will he be happier than he is now?
I pondered for a long time, Ah Dong always stood quietly beside me at such a time, he would not disturb or ask, and it would be a long cry of blood outside, dusk
At the end of the curtain, either the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sea and sky are wide. In addition to the sky, we can't see our own hearts.
I've been with Kang Sheng for a long time, and he's always been a good friend, but I'm not going to talk to him all the time, and I don't talk about everything. He didn't ask either. Whether it's about Zhang Ruolei or Gao Tiancheng, he doesn't ask anything. When he was with me, he tried to take me to eat, drink, and have fun, and all the topics he talked about were light and insignificant. He also deliberately described to me his farm in the United States: the great agricultural kingdom, in which he was the king, and the man was facing more machines or livestock than the sun, moon, heaven and earth, and the stars, and he said that he could ride a horse himself, like a real, old western cowboy.
There, it seems that Tao Yuanming's paradise has no intrigue, no lust for profit.
People can live in a different way.
He said to me.
I looked him in the eye and thought that fate was actually fair, and gave him such a simple and rich life and heart, which was an inexhaustible wealth for his life. We are fighting every day, but who of us is not empty-handed?
Ah Dong is still haunted by Kang Sheng's existence, but I wonder that his reaction is not as fierce as before, and once I tentatively asked him if he had been with someone like Kang Sheng for a long time, and I felt that people like him were actually quite easy to get along with. He's not as hateful as you think. Right?
Ah Dong looked at me in surprise, and he said, "Maybe I don't mind not because of Kang Sheng's character, but I know that as long as Zhang Ruolei is there, Kang Sheng will never be able to play the leading role." ”
It turned out to be like this.
"If you cure Zhang Ruolei, will you go with him and take Mason with you?"
From time to time, I was confused, and I didn't know how to answer.
"I haven't had time to think about things that are too far away," I told him, "and I don't know for sure what is too close, and sometimes I feel that my life is just a matter of living one day at a time." ”
