Chapter 36: Goodbye Su Xiaoran (II)
"Ms. Sue."
"Seeing it like this, I thought you would call me Xiao Ran." Su Xiaoran stretched out a hand: "Let me introduce myself again, I am Su Xiaoran, the general manager of HSBC Technology Company." ”
"I know." Lin Muxue smiled politely: "I drafted the cooperation project book, and I also drafted the contract, and I think I understand your company's personnel structure." ”
"yes, how did I forget, the last time we met was for the contract. How about it, after returning to the company last time, your boss didn't embarrass you because of the contract, right? ”
"Nope."
"It's good if you don't have it. Let's talk about things while we have coffee. ”
"Okay."
Whenever she faced Su Xiaoran, Lin Muxue always had a slight embarrassment that she didn't know how to answer her words. Probably because the memory of the last meeting was too deep, she subconsciously kept a distance from Su Xiaoran, and the more estranged she was, the more enthusiastic Su Xiaoran seemed to become. This feeling of me retreating from you made her vaguely feel a little uneasy.
"The coffee in this café is good, the mood is good, and it's perfect for a quiet stay."
Su Xiaoran pushed open the door of the café and made a gesture of please. Lin Muxue nodded and walked in.
"I know you were impressed by the first time we met, but in fact, like you, I grew up as a simple, ordinary girl. I used to be like you, but your future doesn't have to be as bad as mine. ”
"Ms. Su......"
"It's okay, you don't have to answer me." Su Xiaoran smiled and said to Lin Muxue, "Just think I'm talking crazy." ”
"It's not easy to be a woman, and it's even more difficult to be a woman in the workplace, I understand what Ms. Su just said."
Lin Muxue didn't know what to say, so she could only find something in writing, which sounded very reasonable, but in fact there were some inconsequential things to say.
Su Xiaoran laughed all of a sudden, laughing quite presumptuously, but his posture was still elegant.
"You're right, it's really not easy for us to be women."
Su Xiaoran called the waiter over, and after asking Lin Muxue's preferences, she ordered two cups of coffee and some desserts. Lin Muxue was not in the mood to sit here and drink coffee at all, she just wanted to quickly communicate with Su Xiaoran about the progress of the project and leave. But Su Xiaoran didn't seem to care about the progress of his company's project, but was more interested in Qin Lie.
"There's a question I've always been curious about." Su Xiaoran picked up her keychain, and Qin Lie's photo was hanging on her car key, and at this time, the front of the photo was facing Lin Muxue. "I know he's a handsome guy, and he attracted the attention of girls when he was in school. But when you see this picture, your reaction seems to be a little different from that of a normal girl. Mu Xue, I especially want to know, do you know him? Do you know Qin Lie? ”
"Yes!"
Lin Muxue didn't want to hide the fact that she and Qin Lie were husband and wife. Especially, when the beautiful woman named Su Xiaoran in front of her still showed a strong interest in Qin Lie and all kinds of reluctance. She didn't want to hide it more and more. Not only did she not want to hide it, but she also wanted to swear her ownership of Qin Lie.
Probably, this is also the nature of women.
"Then can I take the liberty of asking, you are Qin Lie's ......?"
"Wife." Lin Muxue spit out two words lightly, and then added: "In other words, we are a husband and wife who have been legally certified by the Marriage Law." ”
"So, you're married, and you're the one who got a marriage certificate?" Su Xiaoran said, leaning back: "I really didn't expect that Qin Lie would get married, let alone that he would marry you." Oh, please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to say that you're not good enough, or that you're not worthy of Qin Lie. In fact, you are a pretty good girl, even if a man who is better than Qin Lie is with you, I will not be surprised. What surprised me was that you and Qin Lie actually became husband and wife. ”
"Can't we be husband and wife?"
"Nope! I didn't mean that. Su Xiaoran waved his hand: "Let's put it this way, I didn't expect that Qin Lie would marry another girl as his wife." I always thought, or those of us who knew him, that he would be alone in that relationship. ”
"Lonely old age? Are you familiar with Qin Lie? ”
"It's not cooked. Didn't I say that last time? I liked him very much when I was in school, and I took the initiative to pursue him. It's a pity that he didn't like me, and soon he had a girl he liked. As for me, of course, I will also be a little unwilling, and even create a lot of opportunities to contact him, hoping that he can realize that I am more suitable for him than his girlfriend at the time. ”
"It doesn't seem like a smart move."
"Yes, you're right." Su Xiaoran nodded approvingly: "But girls in love are stupid, especially girls in unrequited love, they are even more stupid." Looking back now, some of my practices at that time not only failed to make Qin Lie like me, but made him hate me more, alienate me, and even avoid me. It's a pity that the past can't be looked back on, and it can't be looked back. If I were today, I probably wouldn't do those stupid and unpleasant things. ”
"There's nothing wrong with liking someone, what's wrong is that you're liking someone who doesn't like you."
"Well, you're right, that's it. So, after chasing for a while, I also gave up. Su Xiaoran took a sip of coffee: "Or to put it another way, I was sad, I was rejected by him, and I was even deeply hurt by his disgusted tone and gaze." ”
"If you let go of what is not suitable for you, you may be able to meet something better." Lin Muxue originally wanted to comfort Su Xiaoran, but after thinking about it, she was now Qin Lie's wife. Saying such things to Su Xiaoran in such an identity may be a kind of show-off in Su Xiaoran's opinion. She just wanted to explain, but found that Su Xiaoran didn't seem to care about what she just said.
She gently put down her coffee and looked out the glass window: "At that time, I was very sad, so sad that I didn't know how to live. So, I decided to leave the city for a while and chose to numb myself with work. Young, hard-working, work naturally better than others. Therefore, I think the reason why I can have today's results is inseparable from your husband Qin Lie. At least, during those sad days, work was my only motivation, and Qin Lie was the accelerant. ”
"You're excellent." Lin Muxue said affirmatively: "If you meet the current Qin Lie now, he will definitely look at you with approval." At that time, you and him at that time can only say that the time to meet was not good enough. ”
"You don't have to comfort me." Su Xiaoran smiled faintly, but this smile seemed a little bitter: "Feelings and feelings are the two most unreasonable and logical things to be found." Not everyone is as kind as you, and not everyone is as lucky as you are to be able to meet the most suitable person in the most suitable place. I admit that there is an element of jealousy in what I just said, but Mu Xue, do you know? I've been back, and I've been reluctant to make a second attempt. ”
"A second fight?"
"That's right! You are Qin Lie's wife, so you should know that his girlfriend died in a car accident, right? ”
"I've heard him say a few."
"When I heard the news, I immediately returned to Luocheng. I'll admit, I had some bad intentions at the time. I thought, his girlfriend died, and I was eligible to compete again. You must look down on me in your heart, don't you? But that was my truest thought and feeling at that time, and I did.
I returned to Luocheng City, did everything possible to find out Qin Lie's address, and then desperately went to find him. I thought, as long as I accompany him and guard him when he is at his most vulnerable, even if he is a stone, he can always be warmed by me, right? Even if he doesn't like me, he will rely on me, and I just need to stay by his side to be satisfied. ”
"It's not fair to you."
"Fair? In the face of love, there is never the word fairness, only giving and taking. The one who loves always has to pay more and suffer more injuries than the one who is loved. It's just that I don't even qualify for being treated unfairly.
His girlfriend is gone, he is heartbroken, the person he tortures is not like a person, a ghost is not like a ghost, every day is muddy, but he refuses to be approached by any woman.
I will never forget what he looked like at that time, as if he had been hollowed out all of a sudden, leaving only a shell, without a heart and without a soul. If you say, he was once an angel dressed in sunshine. Then, the moment his girlfriend left, he followed him into hell. ”
Lin Muxue's heart twitched when she heard this. She had never seen such a sunny Qin Lie, nor had she seen such a desperate Qin Lie, but with Su Xiaoran's description, these two completely different Qin Lie seemed to keep appearing in front of her eyes alternately, and finally overlapped into the husband she knew and was familiar with.
Lin Muxue's head hurt slightly.
"He must have had a deep affection for his ex-wife." Lin Muxue said softly.
Su Xiaoran was still looking out the window, and after hearing Lin Muxue's words, she turned around.
"Yes, he loves his girlfriend very much, the kind he loves very much. I have never encountered such a deep love, although I have been looking for it all these years, but I have not found it. I think not all men will be as passionate, stubborn, and desperate as he is to love a woman seriously. ”
Lin Muxue looked at Su Xiaoran and didn't know how to respond. Say envy? Say jealousy? Or is it that the past has passed, no matter how strongly Qin Lie once loved someone, now she is his wife, the real only legal wife.
If you say such a thing, it seems to be a little weak-hearted, and there is also a sense of self-deception. In fact, she knew in her heart that Qin Lie's ex-wife had always been in his heart and had never really left.
It's just that how can a living person deal with a dead person?
