I haven't seen him for three or four years, and he is already a person of considerable status.

Although this kind of branch leader is not necessarily very competent. Ordinary people's children are tired and half-dead may not be able to pull the business of three melons and two dates, and this kind of boy only needs to shout at the family, and there will be three uncles and six uncles, relatives and friends who will throw dozens of millions of dollars, he did not steal or rob, the so-called performance is on the top, in fact, it is also a fight for his father and connections.

But isn't networking also a skill? Moreover, I have seen his hard work and fatigue of forgetting to sleep and eat overtime, and I believe that he has also paid in places that outsiders can't see, and there is really a sense of relief spreading at this moment.

I smiled and congratulated. He hooked his lips and smiled lightly to express his gratitude, and there was a kind of deepness on Fa Fu's face, which was complicated that I couldn't understand.

I noticed that the top of his left ring finger was empty. Isn't it time for him and Ye Jingjing to get married? Or didn't wear it for a while?

By the time I got back to my seat, I had already calmed down.

It's not lovers after all, and this kind of candlelit dinner makes me quite uncomfortable. However, it's not too much to celebrate a friend's birthday. We talked and laughed and whispered.

Levia's eyebrows were full of smiles and satisfaction, "I didn't expect you to be able to accompany me for my birthday this year, and I thought you wouldn't have time to take care of me as soon as you returned to Y City." ”

This is a bit pitiful, as if complaining about the neglect and alienation I have had since returned. In those three years in Shanghai, we had each other's warm company on our birthdays, or with other friends, and we also left two people alone.

I smiled and said, "How? This time is indeed a bit busy, so I will call Xiaohong and He Qingwei out another day, and we will get together again. ”

When the waiter came over with a small food cart containing small cakes, a happy birthday song suddenly sounded in the restaurant. All the eyes of the audience were attracted.

The waiter warmly congratulated: "Happy birthday to you!" ”

Li Wei was stunned for a second, and the surprise in her eyes couldn't be hidden, "Thank you, Shu Hua." ”

I smiled and said, "We're good friends, yes, let's make a wish." ”

……

I looked at the happy and contented face in the candlelight, and a trace of apology filled my heart. At the age of 33, he has a good career and personal conditions, is he hanging himself from my tree like this? It is said that today's women are utilitarian and purposeful, why not many men?

Waiting without hope, how many people can hold on? How can I be worthy of such tenderness from him?

I took a sip from my wine glass and said as I cut the steak, "Via, when are you going to bring your girlfriend out for us?" ”

He smiled faintly and looked at me with deep eyes: "I can't catch what I want, and I don't want what I can grab, where can I risk a girlfriend?" ”

I squirmed my hands for a moment, feeling a little uneasy, but I heard him say: "Don't keep worrying about my wife, be careful of crow's feet, it's better to enjoy life easily." He took a sip of red wine and said briskly: "Whether you are free on Saturday, our company cooperated with an art studio to launch a game-themed art exhibition, using game backgrounds and beautiful women to create various still lifes, abstract paintings and other works. ”

I was afraid that I wouldn't agree, so I said cheekily: "Today is my birthday, I am the biggest, don't refuse anything."

I heard that the game painting based on my portrait was also among them, and I accepted it with interest.

……

I didn't expect that their company was cooperating with Yuan Xiucheng's studio. In the past three years, the characters of the past years have re-entered my life without warning.

She was still dressed in a long skirt and a soft tulle shawl. The whole humanities are full of literature and art, and they are elegant.

The 36-year-old couldn't find too many traces of time on her face, and she was slightly surprised when she saw me beside Livia, and then smiled calmly: "Long time no see." ”

"Long time no see, I wish the exhibition a complete success." I replied with a smile.

She nodded her head in gratitude and showed us around. When she walked in front of the game-themed painting, her long, narrow eyes wandered around my face for a long time, and she smiled lightly, "This resemblance is really high, Via really cares." ”

I smiled awkwardly. At this time, Levia had already gone to communicate with some gamers who had come to enjoy the paintings, and only the two of us were left.

She looked at me quietly for a while, and said, "You and him ......."

"We're friends." I said without thinking.

She shook her head slightly, "You know I'm not referring to him. ”

My heart trembled, but my face pretended to be calm, "Then I don't understand, and I don't want to understand." ”

She sighed softly, but her eyes turned to the painting on the wall, "If I could, I hope that the person next to him is you, so that I will feel better." ”

My heart sank suddenly, and I fell very deeply, but I heard myself say, "Who is the person around him, I don't think it has much to do with me." ”

This kind of conversation makes me feel very sad. In other people's stories, in the plot of TV dramas, such dialogues between the ex and the ex are repeated. However, when you are in it, you can chew out that bitterness in that helplessness.

Maybe it's because of the same ex, the two of us actually had a rare chat together.

She whispered softly, "I don't like the length of Taoists. But I never had a good impression of that woman. We are all children from that kind of environment, but her approach often puzzles me. ”

I expressed my doubts, but I didn't ask much in the amusement, but listened to her say, "You'll see it later." ”

Glimpsing the faint sadness in the corners of her eyes, I finally couldn't help it, and said the question that had been pressed in my heart for more than three years: "Since you feel uncomfortable, why did you leave him back then?" ”

After more than ten years of love entanglements, I have never been able to let go, is it how deep is the love? What kind of estrangement caused them to part ways?

She looked sad, then smiled bitterly: "If I told you that it was an accident, would you believe it?"

I froze where I was. Parting ways due to an accident? So what about her kicking him?

When she got to a secluded place, she suddenly said to herself: "He was said to have been injured a lot, and he was ridiculed by the Luo family for a long time. I don't know if I'm cured now. ”

My heart pounded, and my cheeks were hot again. At that time, the injury was not light, but it gradually healed a lot, at least in many cases, it was still possible to regain the man's male style.

Naturally, I can't say this, but I suddenly feel mixed feelings, distressed, sad, and confused.

In the past, there have been so many blends of water and milk, and now, is it really a bridge to the bridge and a road to the road?

Yuan Xiucheng suddenly turned his head and stared at me, with a sad face: "I always felt that I was sorry for her, but in this life, I can't repay this debt." ”

I didn't know how to answer for a moment, only a sigh.

At this moment, a young girl with a ponytail walked up quickly. "Mr. Yuan, your phone number is like Mr. Lu."

Her face turned cold, she took the phone with an indifferent look, said to me, "Excuse me" and turned to walk outside.

I watched her slender figure fade away, and my heart was full of emotions.

She and Lu Min maintain such a marriage, and it seems that they are not happy. I've seen her paintings in the past, and I can't hide the freedom in her publicity. Why did such an open-minded woman trap herself in such a marriage, and why didn't she jump out of such a cage freely?

Also, she and Lu Min don't have children, right? If so, then the Lu family of the big family can tolerate such a daughter-in-law?

……

For the current Chinese people, in addition to Labor Day and Youth Day, there is also "520" in May.

This is the era of abundant festivals, and the days when you have a little bit of marriage and love are all obscene with the major merchants.

On this day, a management debriefing meeting was held. As soon as I walked out of the conference room, I heard Zhang Jingen behind him smile happily and said, "What kind of festival, go to the chairman's house for dinner today." ”

The financial director complimented: "You have a really good relationship with the chairman, and I can see that he values you very much in the mansion last time." ”

"No, others are very kind, and they usually cherish their juniors, if you have more contact, you will find that others are really good.

"That's not a blessing for everyone."

I walked briskly to the bathroom, avoiding their chatter and laughter.

It turned out that she was also invited. Yesterday, I received an unprecedented call from the chairman, saying that he was in good spirits in the past two days and invited me to be a guest at home today.

My heart shrank, and I remembered Zhang Jingen's photocopy that day. If I wasn't related by blood, why did he treat me like this? Is that really that simple?

At that time, listening to his hoarse and expectant voice on the other end of the phone, he couldn't bear it in the end and didn't refuse.

At this moment, hearing Zhang Jingen's conversation, my heart suddenly hurt. Is this a family dinner? Zhang Jingen went, that was the identity of the prospective granddaughter-in-law. What do I go for? If not a granddaughter. On such an occasion, Luo Jincheng will also come, right?

I leaned against the partition in the bathroom cubicle, my chest panting for a moment.

What about the hatred that is said to be good? The heart that was once torn apart by him is now reunited because of such a chaotic relationship.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

……

I dare to temporarily release the chairman's pigeon, and I am estimated to be the only one. I've always been open-minded, and it's the first time I've missed an appointment like this. I'm sorry to say that I have a foreign friend who came to Y City and didn't know him well. Pick up at the airport at the moment.

The chairman smiled heartily: "It's okay, you are busy with yours first, and we will make an appointment another day." ”

After hanging up the phone, my heart was even more blocked, because of his kind tolerance.

……

Where am I going to pick up this night.

Although "520" is not as grand as Valentine's Day, it has also ruined a bunch of singles under the momentum of merchants. Everywhere there are men and women who come in and out of pairs, buying, buying, eating, eating, and opening and opening.

I walked around the mall alone for one night, I didn't know what I was doing, I swiped tens of thousands of yuan, and I went back to the apartment very late.

As soon as I got downstairs, I caught a glimpse of a familiar car, quietly parked in the backlight.

An inexplicable air flow surged into my heart.

My eyebrows jumped, and I saw Luo Jincheng's figure get out of the car.

I was breathing a little heavily, but I could smell the heavy smell of alcohol getting closer and closer.
