Chapter 199: The Maze
I returned home in a daze, and as soon as I walked around the corner, I saw Du Chenyu's Bentley parked outside the hospital, I frowned, feeling a little surprised, why did he come?
Walking into the courtyard, I saw Du Chenyu sitting straight on the bench, like a trained soldier, with a temperament that could not be transgressed.
There was a teacup on the long table, the heat in the cup was ethereal, and it was rising, Qin Yan was sitting on the small horse at the entrance of the basement, and was looking down to play with his mobile phone, when he saw me walking in, he glared at me viciously.
Du Chenyu stood up, his majestic figure was like an ancient tree, tall and straight, with a dark green long cotton suit, adding a touch of incomparable mystery to his cold and delicate face.
He saw that my face was red, swollen and purple, my clothes were ragged and embarrassed, there were still blood stains on the corners of my mouth, and the white shoelaces were completely stained red with blood, and I couldn't see the original color.
He frowned, stared at me for a moment, and then slowly sat down on the bench, picked up the tea in front of him, and took a sip.
The three of us didn't speak, I sniffled, walked to the basement, changed my clothes, took out my mobile phone, and saw three missed calls, they were Du Chenyu calling, no wonder he would find here.
Back in the yard, I lit a cigarette, and just took two puffs, Du Chenyu said lightly: "Long pain is better than short pain, when it continues, it will be chaotic." ”
"What?"
I looked at him with a puzzled look on my face, not understanding the meaning of his words.
Du Chenyu glanced at me, sighed softly, he looked at me and said, "Wang Ling, that woman, you must stay away, if you affect the opening of the store because of her, are you responsible?" ”
I was very surprised, how did he know the inside story of the matter, could he be?
I shifted my gaze to Qin Li, and after he gave me a blank look, he continued to look down at Yun Shuchen's live broadcast.
"She came over like a dog skin plaster, I have already told her clearly, and Xinyan has also seen her, she is still unrepentant, but has intensified, Tian is shameless, what else can I do?"
I muttered, as if I was the one who had been wronged, but there was no one to talk to about the bitterness in my stomach, and I felt like I was on the verge of collapse.
After hearing this, Qin Yan said with disdain: "It's better to say than to sing, if you hate her, why do you want to go out to eat with her?" If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why are you so panicked when you are bumped into by me, if you want people to know, unless you don't do anything, I thought you were a man who stood up to the sky and the earth, and I didn't expect you to be a greedy cat. ”
"What do you say? Qin Li, don't talk nonsense, you just bumped into the two of us getting into the car together, but what does this mean? As a friend, did what you say today hurt a little? ”
I blushed my cheeks, feeling that I had never suffered such a great shame, but I regretted why I got into Wang Ling's car as soon as my head was hot.
Qin Li stood up, stuffed his mobile phone into his pocket, and said loudly: "How can I hurt people, if you are good and sit upright, why do you have a weak heart?" ”
"What's wrong with me?"
My body trembled, my emotions were excited, and I unconsciously took two steps forward.
Qin Yan pursed his lips, and his body instinctively shrank back.
"Alright, stop arguing."
Du Chenyu let out a low roar, stood up and walked in front of me, his face was pale, his expression was cold, and he seemed to be very disdainful of this oolong farce.
"The deadline I give you is to guarantee that it will open for business after the year, if you affect your profits because of this kind of little love, then don't blame me Du Chenyu turned his face and didn't admit it, although this 1 million is nothing to me, but I don't want to lose innocent money because I look away, and there is."
He paused and continued: "Xinyan and I are like brothers and sisters, since she chose to be with you, then you have to be responsible for her, you two calluses can come to this day, not by great fate, but by Xinyan's unhesitating obsession and original intention, the reason why Mrs. is sarcastic and disdainful of you in every way, can't you find the reason yourself?" I help you to do this, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, you don't want to rely on emotions to solve everything, so in the long run, you will become more and more rude, more and more reckless, and more and more stupid. ”
Suddenly being angry by Du Chenyu, I felt that the boredom in my heart instantly eased a lot, Qin Yan stood at the door of the basement, looking at me angrily, I smiled bitterly, walked to his side, patted his shoulder, and said softly: "Brother, I know that you are for my good, and I will handle this matter properly." ”
Qin Yan pursed his lips and said angrily, "I'm too lazy to care about you." ”
After speaking, he sat on the horse, took out his mobile phone, and continued to watch the live broadcast.
Seeing Qin Li's childish cheeks, I was a little sad, I was not much older than Qin Li, but why did I live so hard, the ups and downs of life, the five flavors were mixed, I tasted every taste, as Han Han said: I have heard a lot of truths, but I still can't live this life.
When I saw Du Chenyu's face full of expectation and hatred, I warned myself that I must not let him down, his expectations for me are too high, and I am like a chess piece that has been arranged.
I changed the topic, looked at Du Chenyu and said, "Brother Du, how is Xiao Ran now?" Can you be discharged from the hospital? ”
Du Chenyu put his hands in his pockets, glanced at the cold tea on the table, and said lightly: "I have been discharged from the hospital, and now I am doing a short period of recuperation in my residence." ”
I nodded thoughtfully, and then asked him, "I'd like to see her another day, if it's convenient for me." ”
"No need, you can take care of what you have at hand first."
He coughed lightly, and there was no smile on his handsome cheeks, as if it was like an ice sculpture, and only the person who walked into his heart could slowly melt bit by bit.
I suddenly remembered Wen Lan, the exquisitely crafted beauty, I didn't know that I got along well with Du Chenyu, so I asked tentatively: "When will you and Wen Lan get married?" ”
"It's not decided, why do you ask this?"
He said coldly, as if he didn't want to mention his wife in front of outsiders.
At this time, Brother Scumbag pushed a big cart into the yard, the car was full of large bags of clothes, he was tired and sweaty, panting, I hurriedly walked over and helped him push the cart into the yard.
When Brother Slag saw Du Chenyu standing there, he gasped and said hoarsely: "When did you come, let's eat dinner here, I bought a lot of seafood." ”
On the corner of Du Chenyu's mouth, a hearty smile rose, he looked at the scumbag brother and said, "No, Wen Lan hasn't eaten at home yet, I have to rush back to cook for her and Xiao Ran." ”
"What?"
Brother Scumbag wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground in surprise, he couldn't understand very much, this upright-looking, ruthless and successful person, since he still has such a gentle and virtuous side, it really subverted his imagination.
After sending Du Chenyu away, I walked to the side of the cart and took a closer look, and saw that it was full of cotton clothes and cotton pants that the scum brother usually peddled, as well as various knitwear, scarves, cotton hats, insoles, cotton socks and so on.
"Brother scumbag, why did you move all these things here? Don't stand out? ”
I asked Brother Scumbag with a puzzled face, and pulled out a bag of short-sleeved shorts for summer wear, it seems that Brother Scumbag's goods have also accumulated a lot.
Brother Scumbag carried a bag of conch, walked to the pool, unscrewed the faucet and rinsed it, he sighed, and said to himself: "The market is cleared, the things in the warehouse must be removed, and the market closes early today, and from tomorrow, it will be closed there." ”
"But there is still nearly a month before the New Year, and the citizens will buy New Year's goods in advance, and if they stop business now, they will lose a lot of money."
I took out the clam and crab and handed them to Brother Scum, and when I saw that Qin Yan was still staring intently at the phone, I walked up to him and asked softly, "Is it still Yun Shuchen's live broadcast?" ”
Qin Yan nodded noncommittally, and after a while, he muttered: "He is really versatile, not only is he invincible in alcohol, but he is also very good at painting, and the most important thing is that since he can also sing." ”
His face was full of envy, I shook my head helplessly, looked at him and said, "What kind of opera can you sing?" ”
"Do you know about it?"
He looked up and pursed his dry lips.
"Of course I know, isn't it the New Year in the first month, so don't you give New Year's greetings to the old?"
I looked at him with a smile, although I had never heard this kind of opera, but my parents often listened to it when I was a child, and I still have some memory.
Qin Tong glanced at me and said disdainfully: "The one you are talking about is a small New Year's greeting, just a fragment of the two of them, and what Yun Shuchen sings is a big drama, such as "The Story of the West Chamber", "Blue Bridge Meeting", "Returning to Sadness", etc., but they all come as soon as they open their mouths, and they sing very beautifully." ”
I took a long breath and wondered: "Don't all boys like to watch girls' live broadcasts, why do you just like Yun Shuchen?" ”
"Regardless of boys and girls, they all need talent, there are many female anchors now, but they are just some goblins who scratch their heads and betray their hues, and the one who really relies on talent to attract fans is, of course, Yun Shuchen."
What he said is very reasonable, although he usually doesn't watch these things, but I vaguely heard others say that this circle is very chaotic, and some people open a live broadcast, and they often earn tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, which is incomparable to us ordinary people, but it is also mixed with a lot of water.
On the table are spicy meat and crab pot, boiled conch in salted water, steamed prawns, stir-fried clams, spicy squid whiskers, and a dipping pickle, radish, cucumber, and shallots, all of which are my favorites.
Qin Yan didn't have time to wash his hands, so he rushed to the table, picked up a piece of conch meat, dipped it in the mixed horseradish, threw it in his mouth and chewed it, giving a thumbs up while eating, praising Brother Scum's cooking skills is simply incomparable, and the taste is unique.
Brother Scumbag took out two bottles of liquor on the board car, washed three cups, and filled them in turn before he sat down and said: "There's no way, those of us who set up stalls have to listen to the words of the people in the market, and if they don't let them put it up, then withdraw it." ”
He sighed deeply, took a long sip from his glass, and seemed to have a thousand words, all diluted by the alcohol.
I touched a cup with Qin Li, looked at the scumbag brother and said, "The flea market in Hexi is not allowed to be placed, then you go to the north of the city to have a look, there are relatively more customers over there." ”
"It's all the same, it seems that I can only roll up and go home first."
Brother Scum's eyes were glazed, looking at the delicious food on the table, he had no appetite, it seemed that being kicked out of the market was still a big blow to him.
Qin Tong ate with relish, his cheeks bulged, and he said thoughtfully: "Then you open a store with Wang Tao, he just needs people over there, and we can't be busy going in and out." ”
"Yes, brother scumbag, if you work with me for a month, you can still get a lot of wages a year ago."
I took a sip of wine, and the spicy and numb feeling filled my mouth, almost making me squirt out, Qin Yan looked at me with disgust on his face, and muttered: "Be virtuous, my salary has not yet been settled, your boss is very unreliable." ”
Brother Scumbag smiled bitterly: "Forget about the salary or something, it's better to help my brother do his work than to be useless at home." ”
The three of us talked and laughed, drank two bottles of liquor, felt that it was not enjoyable, Qin Li ran to the small shop opposite, bought a pile of beer, late at night, the whole yard was filled with the smell of alcohol, the wild cat on the wall seemed to be drunk, listlessly squatting in the dark, observing the three drunkards in the courtyard.
The soul of the dark country, chasing travel thoughts, night and night unless, good dreams leave people to sleep, the sky is high and refreshing, the moon and stars are scarce, the lights are on, drink the wine in the toast, and hear a family not far away, there is a poignant ballad.
Old memories are like a window, pushed open, it is difficult to close, who has stepped on the dry branches and whispered, the fireflies painted the painting screen incense, for whom to put a sleeve fragrant, the red leaves of the letterhead affection is long, he said that he went to wander like this, to a beautiful place.
