Chapter 342: If
We went back to the company, but Adong was not there.
"He didn't come back?" I asked Assistant Adong.
"Nope." His assistant shook his head.
We walked towards our office, "Where did he go?" Did I tell you? ”
Gao Tiancheng put one hand on my shoulder, blaming me for being blind. "He's such an adult, and he's still afraid that others will kidnap him?"
I grinned, "I'm glad he was kidnapped by a woman, at least for the rest of his life." You see, me and you, Wan Qian also have their own destiny and their own son. He's the only one at home. I'm afraid that he is such a single person, and sooner or later the Qianshan Lingyin Temple will be his destination. ”
Gao Tiancheng laughed, then shook his head, "He? Gao Tiancheng suppressed his laughter, but there was still a clear smile on his face. He won't, his roots are not pure, the dust is not over, the thief's heart and courage and he are still used. ”
I knew that he was a pun, and he happened to be in front of the door of our office, pushed the door open, and the two of them entered, and before they could sit down, Gao Tiancheng's phone rang. I was not far from Gao Tiancheng, and of course I saw the word "Adong" flashing on his screen.
"Hello?" Gao Tiancheng picked it up, "Adong? ”
His expression became more and more solemn, and I was already sitting at my desk and standing up again. Gao Tiancheng only listened, occasionally looking at me. Later, the line was closed. I walked over.
"What's wrong?"
"Zhong Ling's side."
"Zhong Ling?"
"yes. The police have more information. ”
I turned around and grabbed my purse, "Shall we go again?" ”
"What's the hurry?" Gao Tiancheng grabbed me, "You want to do everything immediately, when can you change everything?" ”
"Why do you want to change it? Don't you just like to see through me at a glance? That's a bit of flirtatiousness.
Sure enough, Gao Tiancheng's eyes were not smiling, and as soon as his arm was forced, I fell into his arms.
"Office!"
"What's wrong with the office? Haven't we tried? ”
"Huh?"
"Well, what? I mean, it's never too late to try. ”
I struggled to my feet from his arms, hugged my shoulders, and my face sank.
"Gao Tiancheng! Don't be stupid, okay? ”
Gao Tiancheng was also anxious, maybe he got up violently, and his knees slammed on the corner of the coffee table opposite the sofa, the corner was very sharp, I saw him baring his teeth, this time it should not be light. He was short and sat back on the couch, looking embarrassed.
His face changed.
"How are you?"
He grabbed my shoulders tightly with both hands.
"Meizi, you believe me! I'm ...... with you I'm ...... with you."
"Forget it." My eyelids drooped, and I looked up at him again. "But not later. I'm not that generous. ”
He smiled.
"How so?!"
How could it not? What is not very variable in this world? The glass is fragile and the clouds are easy to disperse, and all the beautiful and not beautiful things are fickle, and no one is completely sure about them.
If one day he really changes, or maybe I do...
...
Forget it, what do you want to do with these? Sometimes life needs to be proud, you have to be happy, why do you want to do so much!
When Adong came back, Gao Tiancheng had already gone to the Su family, and since he came back, he has presided over the overall situation in the Su family, leaving me to sit in the Zhang family, and Adong is a mobile force, a brick of the revolution, where it needs to be moved. However, he often goes alone, that is, he does not delay for a long time in the Zhang family, nor does he stay in the Su family for a long time.
One night, very late, I was just about to go to bed with Gao Tiancheng, and I received a WeChat message from Adong, I guess he wanted to ask me something, because he only typed two words ----- if.
"If" is just these two words, there is no village in front of the village, there is no store in the back, but I can imagine what he wants to ask me, this question I don't want to touch, but if I have the slightest conscience, I should seriously discuss life with myself when I have nothing to do, even if it is not fruitful. But I never thought about it.
I run away from the problem like a beast of the flood.
"Who is it?" Gao Tiancheng asked. "I'm still sending you WeChat so late?"
I deleted the WeChat, then picked up the phone and shook it in front of Gao Tiancheng, "Company, there will be a meeting tomorrow, will you come?" ”
I said "corporate", and Adong is really corporate.
I said, "I'll have a meeting tomorrow." Tomorrow there will actually be a meeting in the company.
Then I asked him, "Will you come?"
I didn't tell him the answer he really wanted to know.
It was the first time I had said anything else in front of him. I hope Gao Tiancheng, like most careless men, didn't notice this detail.
"Oh. What time is it? ”
He sat on the bed, and when he came back, he went to bed in the same way, first sitting on the edge of the bed, then lifting the good leg to the bed, and then borrowing his two hands to carry the stump leg to the bed.
"I may -----," he was straining, "there is no time." He let out a sigh of relief, leaning his back against the head of the bed. Long breath of air.
"Ten o'clock." I lifted the quilt from my side and got into bed, then put my head in the crook of his arm. Gao Tiancheng lowered his head and kissed me lightly on the forehead.
"Monthly meeting. Actually, it's nothing. However, the performance of this quarter was not very good, and there were personnel changes in several departments. Several customers are not easy to settle, and it is really a headache to think about. ”
I held his right hand with my right hand, and the two of us clasped their fingers together. I continued to complain to him. "It's really strange for you to say, I used to always think about success and money, but now I really have everything, and I'm tired of worrying about it."
Gao Tiancheng smiled softly on top of my head, and his hard chin pressed against the top of my head.
"Man! Where is the time to be satisfied? There are two things that people can never do. One is satisfied, the other is satisfied. Not to mention that people's hearts are not enough, snakes swallow elephants! ”
I yawned, "You're right!" ”
I'm really tired, and my eyelids are getting heavier. Gao Tiancheng retreated backwards, and I fell back to my position, and Gao Tiancheng turned off the lights.
But as soon as the lights were turned off, I couldn't sleep, thinking of the word Ah Dong sent me just now---- if.
What if? I wanted to roll over, but
I didn't dare. It wasn't until Gao Tiancheng next to me heard an even and slight snoring sound that I quietly put on my clothes and got out of bed, and the hall was empty, except for a table clock that was said to be Gao Tiancheng's return from England that was loyally and clumsily, making an unusually clear sound in the dark night.
I walked over to the couch and let myself sink into it, there was a kettle on the coffee table opposite, and I leaned forward to pour myself half a glass of cold water, only to find that I didn't want to drink it. But I always felt that I should hold something in my hand, so I held the cup like that, and let the temperature of the skin on my hand warm the water inside through the wall of the cup.
People are like this, sometimes I don't know who the warmth will give to.
The living room was quiet, the door to Mason's room was closed, and Anton hadn't been here for a long time, and he was still the same as before, never clamoring to find his uncle. But I know he misses him. Some thoughts can only be known by others, and some are unnecessary, and people can feel them without saying them.
The lights were dim and staggered, and I remember that Mason was the same when he was born, and every room was lit all night, and all the lights were wall lamps, and Ah Dong said: The wall light is not so dazzling, and it does not stimulate Mason to sleep upside down.
Generally, mothers will have more or less emotional distress after giving birth, and if it weren't for Adong during that time, I guess I would have been in a hurry. There is a financial situation in the company that has postpartum depression after giving birth, and now he is at home from work, and it is said that he is getting divorced, and the child is only five months old. I heard that I would cry when I saw anyone, and I looked at my sleeping husband and crying child one night, and almost strangled my son. made other little girls in the company silent when they mentioned getting married and having children.
At that time, it was Ah Dong who took care of Mason every night, and I slept peacefully every night, never getting up in the middle of the night to take care of him.
I took a sip of water, which was already warm enough for me to swallow. When Gao Tiancheng came back, Mason had already gone to kindergarten, how did he come over in the past few years?
I smiled, stood up, held the cup, walked to the balcony, pulled out the curtains, it was really dark outside, there were no stars over the city, only endless long winds, lonely dances. My gaze wandered aimlessly along the darkness, and then I saw a familiar figure below.
So familiar!
Is it Adong? I pressed almost my whole face against the floor-to-ceiling window, but there was no one below, only the tall and strong shadows of the trees, which were hideous in the dark.
Life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten. People are, and so are things. People must know how to compromise with fate. What's more, no, no, no, I love Gao Tiancheng. No, no, no, I'm not a water-based poplar woman. No, no, no, I don't have Zhang Ruolei in my heart anymore. I laughed at myself in a low voice, and only then did I see the essence of human beings, who were dirty, ugly, and greedy.
I used to think that my enemy was Xiao Han, but now I know that it was never her, it was myself. Man's greatest enemy is himself.
When I returned to the bedroom, Gao Tiancheng slept soundly, and his posture had not changed, and the quilt on my side had lost its temperature, so I had to help it warm up again. I tiptoed to lift the quilt, which was supposed to warm me, but why wouldn't my body temperature warm it? It turned out that it was all mutual, with a quilt,
You need to give first.
It really makes me happy to know this, my hands are a little cold, so I carefully stepped on Gao Tiancheng's skin, and he was really awakened by me, turned over and hugged me in his arms, and muttered indistinctly in his mouth.
"Where did you go? yourself so cold? ”
"Slip away." I smiled and snuggled my head into his arms.
"You're allowed to slip away, you're not a sage. Do you know to come back? He asked.
"How could you not know? You woke up just now? ”
"Nope." He rubbed his chin against the top of my head.
yes, not saints. Women sometimes always like their men to be saints, but can they really do it themselves? Not necessarily.
Ah Dong returned to the office and saw that Gao Tiancheng was not there, so he just sat opposite me in silence, and stayed for less than five minutes before getting up and saying goodbye.
"Adong." I stopped him.
His back was parked in the doorway, motionless, like a stone sculpture.
"Are you still a heavy drinker?"
"Nope." I heard the sound of saliva swallowing in his throat.
"That's good!" I said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I ...... I don't know. He said. Either I'm going to spy on Xiao Han, or I'm going to check Zhang Ruolei's whereabouts, ---or I'm going to investigate Zhong Ling, Kang Sheng's kid, I said it at the time, he's not reliable. ”
He didn't turn around.
"Forget it." I said, "Plan for yourself." Don't always be busy with the company or these things, Xiao Han's matter should also come to an end, who is right and wrong, what can you do? Whether I take revenge or not, I really am now, and sometimes I can't figure out who my real enemy is. ”
Ah Dong chuckled softly, "What if ------" he asked, he had asked this once, this time the same time, he just started and disappeared.
Adong opened the door, only to find that his back had lost weight.
"Adong." I stopped him again, but he stopped with his back to me.
"Why don't you come to see Mason?" I asked. Mason was brought up by him, and a handful of and a handful of urine is not an exaggeration at all.
He didn't speak, and for a long time, he answered me.
"Go too." He replied, "Sometimes it's to his kindergarten, sometimes it's to the place where he used to play, or where he eats ice cream, and sometimes it's ......," he said, bowing his head.
People give too much and love too much, so they dare not approach. I didn't dare to say it. I didn't dare to touch it.
The door closed silently between me and him, and I opened my mouth, but finally didn't say anything more. Even if it really stopped him, what would he do? What to say?
A few days later, the police came with news that Zhong Ling had a family, but no one was willing to come to her funeral, according to the police, Zhong Ling went out for so many years, neither sent money back, nor returned home. They said that this daughter was born in vain. So it doesn't matter if you're dead.
Me, Gao Tiancheng, and Ah Dong, the three of us listened quietly, not knowing how to react. Who is to blame? Maybe it was really she who broke the hearts of her family when she was alive, or maybe her family members were insatiable and used her as a cash cow. The joy of the world is about the same,
There is always a different kind of sorrow in the world.
The reason is not important, and there is no way to blame, complain more about this move. Why don't you leave it at that? After going through the formalities, it was her posthumous business, and she would still feel sad when she started to help people do this, but now it's worse. Knowing that people cannot be resurrected after death, everyone actually has a reason for death, and that may be the best destination they can think of themselves. In this case, we who are still in the world can only do a good job for them, and then cherish it.
There are only a few people, and there are no relics. It's really red, striped and red.
Human life is sometimes really short-lived, and it is difficult for us all to think that we will fight a protracted war with the world. I can't let go of anything, I want to fight for everything.
There is no further discussion of her specific grievances and hatreds with Kang Sheng. Why did Kang Sheng tell her everything about me? I will never know what assurances or promises he ever gave her? Or even a conspiracy?
I don't know.
Most importantly, I suddenly had no intention of digging deeper. People change, and I would definitely like to know the answer to this kind of thing in the past. Now I really don't think it matters what the answer is. Mo said that Kang Sheng is no longer there, he is there, no one is perfect, and wanting people to be saints is a brain-dead idea. It is an indisputable fact that human nature is flawed.
