Chapter 428: The Ones He Loves
Tang Shiyi's action of cutting the steak paused.
The two of them sat by the window, and outside the window was a building that was dimly illuminated by the setting sun, and a long shadow was drawn on the ground, which was very beautiful.
But now Tang Shiyi doesn't care about appreciating it at all.
Smiling slightly, Tang Shiyi said a little aggrieved: "I didn't expect so many things, the first time I did this, I used to think too simply." ”
Putting down the knife and fork, she looked at Lu Yunzheng apologetically, "Yun Zheng, I'm sorry for causing you to follow me all over the city." ”
Lu Yunzheng didn't respond, cut the steak slowly, put it in his mouth with a fork, chewed it slowly, and his every move was very noble and elegant.
Tang Shiyi retracted her gaze, and the tip of her right finger tapped slightly on the handle of the dinner knife.
Lu Yunzheng has been like this for the past two days, and he rarely talks to her when she talks, except for work matters, he basically won't take the initiative to find her.
And Lu Yunzheng has an apartment in New York, and Tang Shiyi also lived in that apartment before, but before coming to New York this time, Lu Yunzheng asked Zhou Yun to book a room in the hotel, and he didn't even enter the door of the apartment.
After staring at Lu Yunzheng for a while, Tang Shiyi rolled her eyes, "By the way, Yun Zheng, Rick will have an engagement banquet tomorrow, do you know?" ”
Lu Yunzheng has been here for several years, has real estate and companies, and naturally has many friends in the mall, Rick is one of them.
Swallowing the food in his mouth, Lu Yunzheng picked up the glass next to him, took a sip of water, and nodded slightly.
"Are you going then?" The corners of Tang Shiyi's mouth rose and she smiled sweetly, "He knew that we were coming to New York, and he called me several times yesterday, telling us to go." ”
Lu Yunzheng didn't answer.
He didn't really want to go.
He has a really good relationship with Rick, but the purpose of his coming to New York this time is mainly to help Tang Shiyi do this project.
As long as this project is completed, he will be able to make everything public and be with Jono in the name of it.
So he didn't want to spend his time on other things, and he wanted to use every second of time he could.
But Rick not only called, but also personally found the hotel where he was staying and invited him in person.
Lu Yunzheng couldn't shirk it, so he had to go, and his female companion was undoubtedly Tang Shiyi.
But even so, before leaving, Lu Yunzheng still told Zhou Yun that the research work in hand could not be stopped.
Rick is engaged to his long-time girlfriend, and the two have been together since high school, and this engagement party was a big one.
As soon as he saw Lu Yunzheng coming, Rick immediately threw down the surrounding guests and greeted him, grinned, and gave Lu Yunzheng a big hug.
"Lu, you are here, I'm afraid you won't give face!" After greeting Lu Yunzheng, Rick's eyes naturally fell on Tang Shiyi, who was wearing a gorgeous dress next to him, "Shirley, you are more beautiful than before." ”
Tang Shiyi thanked him, smiled and joked a few more words, and was soon pulled by the bride to the side to chat with the little sister.
Lu Yunzheng held champagne in his hand and was a little envious of Rick.
The two of them leaned against the bar, standing diagonally, chatting with each other.
Glancing at Rick, Lu Yunzheng asked, "There are so many guests, don't you go to greet them?" ”
He is extremely fluent in American English, and if you don't look at his face, you can't tell that he is a foreigner.
Rick smiled and poked his elbow on Lu Yunzheng's waist, "They can often be seen, you rarely come to New York after you return to China for development, of course, I have to spend more time with you, otherwise I don't know when the next time we meet." ”
His eyes fell on Tang Shiyi, who was standing with the bride, and Rick's eyes became a little gossy, "Lu, when will you and Shirley get married?" Don't forget to tell me when the time comes, I will definitely go to Jiangcheng to attend your wedding, it just so happens that I haven't been there yet. ”
Lu Yunzheng raised his glass, took a sip of champagne, turned his head to look at the bustling night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and countless figures reflected on the glass, and his voice was faint: "We are not in that relationship." ”
Rick was surprised, his blue eyes instantly widened a lot, "What? Oh my God, how is this possible? Don't you all have sons? Is it ......?"
His gaze turned around Lu Yunzheng, his face was clear, and his exaggerated expression was quickly contained, "Did you fall in love with someone else after returning to China?" ”
Lu Yunzheng hooked the corners of his lips and did not answer.
He didn't fall in love with someone else after returning to China, the person he loved has always been that person.
It has never changed.
……
Jono was in a bad mood.
She also checked the news that Jiang Yiyang showed her after she came back, and there was indeed one, but there was only that one, and there was no other news about Lu Yunzheng and Tang Shiyi's marriage.
So she thinks it's probably just a rumor.
However, within two days, the news on the Internet became more and more chaotic, and there was more and more news about Lu Yunzheng and Tang Shiyi's marriage, as well as all kinds of real hammers, including photos of the wedding banquet between the two in the United States.
The wedding banquet was full of foreigners, and Qiao Nuo guessed that it should be Lu Yunzheng's friend abroad.
Recalling the WeChat messages he sent to himself before he left the country, as well as the words he said when he was lingering with her on the sofa in Lingshuiju, Qiao Nuo felt ridiculous.
What does Lu Yunzheng think of her?
While saying that he cared about her, he married another woman abroad, and said that he wanted to take her with him?
When she mentioned breaking up, why didn't Lu Yunzheng do it?
She had never felt more complicated about men than she did now.
Even before, after marrying Mo Shaosi, the man ignored her, but she didn't care at all.
Because she doesn't love Mo Shaosi, she doesn't care what Mo Shaosi does to her.
Even, Mo Shaosi was attracting bees and butterflies outside, but she could turn a blind eye.
But Lu Yunzheng is like this, she is really difficult to accept.
A few months ago, Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Lu forced her to break up with Lu Yunzheng in the capital, and at that time she categorically said that she would be with Lu Yunzheng no matter what.
When I think about it, where did I get the courage and self-confidence at that time?
My mind was getting more and more chaotic, and suddenly I heard the horn of a car outside the door.
Jono's gradually drifting mind was pulled back, wiping the corners of her eyes that were a little damp, she jumped off the sofa, ran barefoot to the door, opened the door and looked at it, stunned.
Shen Zheyu stood at the door, staring at her.
Looking down at her bare feet, Shen Zheyu's brows furrowed, "Why don't you wear shoes?" ”
She was in a hurry to come over and open the door, but she didn't notice this problem at all, and now she was a little embarrassed to be asked by Shen Zheyu like this.
Curling his toes, Giorno simply didn't go back to the living room, bent down to find a pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet, put his foot in, and asked, "How did you come here?" ”
Shen Zheyu watched her put on her shoes and hesitated what to say.
He wanted to refrain from making Jono upset, but he really wanted to know the answer.
After a while, he didn't think about what he should say, and Jono, who was already wearing his shoes, stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve, "Zheyu, go out for a drink with me." ”
Shen Zheyu was stunned.
Drink? Drinking again?
The last time she was going to a bar to drink, it was because of Tang Shiyi's return to China.
Don't......
The question that had been circling in his mind for a while blurted out: "Is the matter between Lu Yunzheng and Tang Shiyi true?" ”
Qiao Nuo looked up at the man's frowning eyebrows in front of him, and quickly lowered his head in frustration.
Therefore, Shen Zheyu came to her because he knew the news on the Internet, right?
She didn't know how to answer.
It seems that yes, they really got married in the United States.
But in that case, she really didn't want to say it, and she couldn't say it.
Stubbornly pulling a pompous smile on his lips, Qiao Nuo skipped Shen Zheyu's question, pulled his sleeve and walked outside, "Let's go drink, don't talk about this." ”
Shen Zheyu followed her obediently, and when he got to the car, he took two big strides in front of Qiao Nuo and helped her open the co-pilot's door.
Jono smiled at him, thanked him, and got into the car.
In the past, as long as he looked at Qiao Nuo and smiled, Shen Zheyu felt as if he had nothing to worry about.
As if as long as Jono laughed, then he didn't care about anything.
But this time, seeing Jono smiling at himself, he didn't feel anything in his heart except for distress.
It shouldn't be like this, she is such a good girl, she should have been loved in the palm of her hand.
Why do you just meet people who are not ladylike, one or two are such scumbags?
He felt sorry for Jono in his heart, and the hand hanging at his side clenched into a fist hard.
The co-pilot's window suddenly fell, and Qiao Nuo, who had already fastened his seat belt, poked his head out of it and winked at Shen Zheyu, "Zheyu, why don't you get in the car yet?" ”
After being asked by Qiao Nuo, Shen Zheyu came back to his senses, said "oh", went around to the other end, and got into the driver's seat.
Along the way, no one spoke.
Jono kept looking around, as if looking out the window at the scenery, with interest.
Shen Zheyu looked ahead with a solemn expression.
Eventually, Shen Zheyu went to the same bar last time.
As soon as he sat down, Qiao Nuo first set the rules, "Zheyu, I remember that you didn't drink a sip last time!" Not this time, you'll have to drink with me! ”
She was a little overbearing.
Glancing at her, Shen Zheyu had no expression on his face, but his speech was very clear: "No, I have to send you home." ”
Qiao Nuo was unhappy, put down the wine glass in his hand, opened a pair of round eyes, and glared at the man sitting opposite, "You drink with me!" I want someone to drink with me, I don't want to drink alone. ”
Don't look at her expression at the moment, it looks fierce, but the words that come out of her mouth are soft.
There is even some helplessness, like a discarded little pitiful.
The pity and intolerance in Shen Zheyu's heart instantly began to swell rapidly, and all reason was thrown out of his mind.
He poured himself a glass of wine, and said as he poured it: "Okay, drink, I'll accompany you!" ”
Jono was satisfied, and his eyes were smiling like crescents.
There weren't many people in the bar at dusk, the two kept toasting, drinking too much, and Qiao Nuo's words gradually increased, as if he was talking to Shen Zheyu, and as if he was talking to himself:
"He lied to me...... Do you know? He lied to me...... He said that there was nothing between him and Tang Shiyi, and he lied to me......"
"Zheyu, before he went abroad, he also said that I should follow ...... Go with him, but he's going to get married, so let me follow...... What's going on? ”
"Isn't I-hiccup, you say, stupid? You've long been ...... I have been persuaded a long time ago, but I don't listen, it's me...... It's because I'm determined to do what I am today......"
The last time he was drunk, Gino didn't say so much.
Shen Zheyu was also a little dizzy, listening to Qiao Nuo's incoherent words, scolding himself for being stupid, he raised his head and poured himself another glass of wine.
