Meng Lan answered Shen Ke's phone with trepidation, but he didn't expect that he just wanted to ask what kind of light bulb to buy, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

I want to count him down two sentences, think about it or give up, he doesn't know housework for a day or two, from marriage to divorce, he has never changed the light bulb for the family once, now again, what's the use!

Meng Lan told him the model of the light bulb and asked him if he had anything else.

Shen Ke said, "No, when will you come back?" ”

Meng Lan said, "If nothing else, you should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon, are you in the company?" ”

Shen Ke said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll just ask casually, what, have you been with Wei Cheng for the past two days?" ”

When Meng Lan heard him mention Wei Cheng, he suddenly remembered the poem, and blurted out, "I ask you, ...... back then?"

"What?" Shen Ke asked.

Meng Lan thought about it for a while, and then stopped, Wei Cheng was right, old things, don't mention it, no matter how clearly you ask, time can't go back, why bother with it.

"It's nothing, I still have something to do here, let's go back and talk about it!" She hung up.

Shen Ke held the phone for a moment, shook his head, bought a light bulb and went home to change it.

Meng Lan walked back to Wei Cheng, Xiao Su was still there, and when he saw her coming, he looked her up and down with an incredible look.

"What's wrong?" Meng Lan wondered, "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”

"No, it's you who are so beautiful that you are so charming that Mr. Xiao Su is fascinated." Wei Cheng bent his arm at her and said, "Let's go in!" ”

Meng Lan bowed slightly to Xiao Su, took Wei Cheng's arm and walked with his head held high.

Xiao Su always scratched his heart a lot, watching them enter the banquet hall side by side, the backs of the two people were tall and straight, and the other was full of manners, which was an indescribable match.

Mr. Xiao Su stomped his feet and went to find her father, Mr. Su, very lonely.

Mr. Su was gossiping with a few men, and when he saw his daughter coming alone, he asked with a smile, "What, your Mr. Wei hasn't come yet?" ”

Xiao Su always pouted and couldn't say anything.

Several men observed the words, and then dispersed with a few polite words.

Mr. Su asked, "Who messed with you again?" ”

Xiao Su always pointed to Wei Cheng and said, "See for yourself!" ”

Lao Su always looked in the direction of her finger, and saw Wei Cheng smiling happily in front of a slender figure, and said in surprise, "Who is that lady?" ”

"Guess!" Xiao Su always said.

"You girl, you are jealous and don't forget to sell Guanzi, Mr. Wei is never close to women, how can I guess who it is." Mr. Su said.

"It's the woman from yesterday." Xiao Su always said.

"Oh?" Mr. Su was also surprised, "I glanced at it in a hurry yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be a beauty, let's take a closer look." ”

"Oh Dad~" Xiao Su was always angry, "Can you give me a snack and help me think of a way, otherwise I will be dressed up in vain this day!" ”

"What can I do, Mr. Wei is not my subordinate, do you want me to tie him up to you?" Lao Su always said, "Anyway, my father doesn't have a female companion, you are dressed up so beautifully, and you happen to be your father's female companion." ”

"Dad~"

"Dad, what Dad, go quickly, if you don't obey Dad, you're going to beat someone!" Mr. Su was stunned.

Xiao Su was helpless, pouting and holding his father's arm.

Meng Lan followed Wei Cheng through the crowd, and when Wei Cheng was talking to people, she stood next to her with a smile, not interjecting or stealing the spotlight, waiting quietly.

After Wei Cheng finished speaking, she walked forward with her.

Wei Cheng said, "You can also talk about it together." ”

Meng Lan said, "I don't understand your topic, so it's better to be a listener." ”

This is what Shen Ke taught her in the past, Shen Ke said, outside, when you don't understand, don't interject at will, so as not to say too much and make more mistakes.

"What Shen Ke taught you?" Wei Cheng said, "Don't listen to him, the reason why he told you to be cautious is that you love face, and you can't help it, you are with me, don't worry about saying the wrong thing, with me, it doesn't matter if you say the wrong thing." ”

Meng Lan looked at him and didn't speak.

Wei Cheng took two glasses of wine from the tray of the waiter passing by, handed her one, and said, "Drink, you will be bold after drinking, you will be the boss in the future, and there will be more time to deal with the outside world, this kind of occasion is the best way to practice courage, you have to make good use of it." ”

Meng Lan was encouraged by him, and slowly let go, and when she met someone to say hello again, she would also follow a few words of greeting, and chat with the other party's female companion about clothes and jewelry, if several people chatted together, it happened that she had some opinion, and she would also say it boldly.

She is elegant and natural, with a calm smile, and her appropriate words and deeds have won her the favor of everyone, coupled with Wei Cheng's face, everyone is interested in pleasing her, so that she quickly integrated into the circle of female companions, and everyone talked happily.

Wei Cheng observed Meng Lan's state while socializing with others, and was very relieved to see that she had adapted to the rhythm so quickly, and praised her for her rapid progress while resting in the corner, and her children were teachable.

Meng Lan said, "I used to disdain these entertainments, and I felt very hypocritical. ”

"It's a bit one-sided to say hypocrisy." Wei Cheng said, "Human beings are social animals, they need to cooperate with each other, especially in modern society, connections are supreme, everyone needs others, and at the same time is needed by others, so communication is essential, business comes in entertainment, feelings come in communication, no one can live a life by themselves behind closed doors, what do you say?" ”

"Well, that makes sense." Meng Lan smiled and nodded, "You always have a point. ”

"It's not that I'm reasonable, it's that existence is reasonable." Wei Cheng said, "The fact that banquets have existed as a platform for human socialization since ancient times shows that it is reasonable, as long as you put your mind right, even if it is a party of long-tongued women, you can hear something valuable to you from it." ”

"Okay, I'm taught!" Meng Lan bowed to him solemnly, "Thank you, Teacher Wei, for your advice." ”

Wei Cheng laughed, "Then you have to give the teacher a drink." ”

Meng Lan raised his glass, touched him, and took the lead in drinking it all.

Wei Cheng drank his wine and said, "You know, you have completely changed compared to when I first returned to China. ”

"Really?" Meng Lan asked.

"Hmm." Wei Cheng nodded, "The first time we met back home, you sat in the small garden on the corner of the street and cried, you cried so sadly, no different from those women in life who were betrayed by their husbands, resentful and overwhelmed.

The second time I saw you, you dragged an injured foot in the heavy rain at the school gate and couldn't get into the car, and it was so embarrassing that it was distressing, and then Ah Lian sent you a bed photo, you threw away your mobile phone, and sat in my car and cried silently.

The third time I saw you, you were sitting in a bar and drinking alone, you were drunk, you took my hand and said you don't want to go home, I sent you home and got into a fight with Shen Ke......"

"Don't talk about it." Meng Lan interrupted him, tears flashing in his eyes, "I don't want to look back at the unbearable time again, and you don't want to help me remember." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Wei Cheng said, "What you were like at that time, maybe you don't know it yourself, anyway, every time I see you, your eyes are always full of tears, and I can't help but want to kill Shen Ke and a bastard."

Fortunately, you are strong enough, I watched you get rid of your failed marriage step by step, out of the haze, watching your tears become less and less, and your smiles become more and more, do you know how relieved I am, Meng Lan, my greatest wish in this life is to see you stretch your smile freely, and I will definitely work tirelessly for this wish until it becomes a reality, are you willing to believe me? ”

Meng Lan looked at him in a daze, there was a look of anticipation in his eyes, and her silhouette, his eyes were so firm, the same as when he was young, stubborn and uncompromising.

It's false to say that you are not moved, as long as it is a woman, no matter how old she is, who can face such a look without wavering?

Meng Lan was moved and took a deep breath, "Wei Cheng, I understand all your thoughts, but ......"

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Wei Cheng stopped her in time, "I never ask for people in my life, I only ask you for one thing, don't say anything to me but, okay?" ”

"I ......" Meng Lan wanted to say but stopped.

"I understand if you don't say it, don't you agree, right?" Wei Cheng said, "It's okay, none of us should fight with the child, just follow him, I believe in a word, sincerity, gold and stone are open, you see, one day, I will let you, let the child accept me willingly, before that, I will never urge you, nor will I offend you, we are still good friends." ”

"Thank you, Wei Cheng, thank you......" Meng Lan was short of words, so he had to say thank you over and over again.

Wei Cheng patted her hand, smiled and said no thanks, he said, "Don't you always ask me about those poems, let me tell you, those 99 poems, all of them were written by me, I originally planned to write enough 100 poems, and I officially courted you, but I didn't expect Shen Ke to percussion with me, Meng Lan, when you and your children can accept me, I will make up the hundredth poem, and when the time comes, I will use it as a letter of appointment and marry you back home with dignity." ”

"......" Meng Lan didn't want to cry, but tears flowed down unconsciously.

Except for tears, she didn't know what to use to pay tribute to Wei Cheng's lost twenty years.

This man who ran away for love for half his life is still the original teenager when he returns.

And she is covered in the siege of marriage, her heart is like ashes, and she is no longer the same as she used to be.

Can such two people still come together?

She couldn't believe it, and she didn't hold out hope.
