22, Girls' Night

On Friday night, Ning Jun went to Tong Ling's house to spend a girls' night to exchange recent experiences and gossip, given that Ning Jun had just successfully engaged, tonight's topic naturally started from here.

Ning Jun brought a bottle of noble rot sweet white, and when Tong Ling took the wine, she saw her diamond ring, took her hand and screamed, as if the two of them were a celebrity sister on the Upper East Side of the United States.

"What are you doing, you've seen the ring." Ning Jun gave her the photo of the ring as soon as possible.

"I've always wanted to try this trick." Tong Ling opened the wine and beckoned her to set up the fried chicken, salad, and small cakes, "The sisters around me are the only ones who are worthy of this scream." ”

Ning Jun showed a smug and sweet smile: "Your ring will be so big in the future." ”

"Come on, instead of counting on men, I might as well work hard myself." Tong Ling shrugged, "I can't learn how you wash your hands and make soup." ”

"Don't talk like Yamato Nadeshiko." Ning Jun protested, "I only cook occasionally. ”

"Yes, you also occasionally ask for warmth, occasionally help him match clothes, and occasionally even prepare his mother's birthday present in advance."

"It's all a gesture."

"Yes, yes, you just go to work as his work secretary, and after work as her life secretary."

"Tong Ling!"

"Just kidding, how was the last time you went to see his friend? Are there any surprises. ”

"His good buddy is Gu Yue, the son of the Blue Shield Group."

"What? That entertainment version has as many Gu Yue as there are on the economic version? Tong Ling's wine glass was unstable, "Really?" That big young master? ”

Ning Jun smiled, she didn't tell her the scene at the first time, just to appreciate her expression on the spot.

"Really, they're college classmates."

"Your old Xu hides it deep enough, wait, they are good buddies, won't Lao Xu's family be a wealthy family?"

"No, I've seen his parents, they are very ordinary people."

"It's hard to say, rich people don't write on their faces these days, last time my sisters said that the big boss of her group went to the event site to inspect, so she wore a pair of old shoes, put on a work vest, and the same as the drama of the group's box lunch, if she didn't see her leader's respectful attitude, she couldn't have thought that this uncle was the boss."

"Lao Xu's family is definitely not. They are classmates who become friends, Gu Yue fell out with his father when he was in college, and he was self-reliant throughout the whole process, no one knew his identity, and they always thought that his family was a difficult household. ”

"What kind of routine is this?" Tong Ling took a sip of wine, "The prince's private interview with Weifu, friends in the prince's time of crisis can be relied on for a lifetime, so if he falls in love with him in college, isn't this a young grandmother who becomes a wealthy family in minutes." ”

"Gu Yue's love path doesn't seem to be very smooth."

"Because of poverty?" Tong Ling understood in seconds, "Is it because I saw through the warmth and coldness of human feelings when I was a teenager, so I only wander among the flowers now, and I don't worry about a leaf." ”

Ning Jun was amused by her rich and reasonable speculation, and then denied her: "According to Lao Xu, no, he has failed since he was a child, whether he is rich or poor, it should be a flaw in his character. ”

"Huh? What character flaws? ”

"I don't want to ask too much about that, do I?"

"Why don't you ask too much, you just pretend to be noble in front of Lao Xu, who pulled me to analyze whether Gu Yue and designer Alan Lan are a couple when I watched Old Wave Entertainment two days ago?"

"I can answer you about this, Gu Yue chased her, but she hasn't caught up yet, he has chartered the clothes of the spring and summer show and bought them for his employees as work clothes."

"No, such an old-fashioned chasing method, Alan Lan is famously cold." Tong Ling seemed to understand the reason why Gu Yue's love was not going well, "If you directly use the money to smash it, it will be farther and farther." ”

"Gu Yue also accompanied her to watch the drama, Lao Xu said that he chartered the people's artist theater year-round VIP in order to chase the goddess, and this year's popular "Giraffe in Love" is about to be performed.

Tong Ling was cured by the reality that rich people are also tormented by love that they can't ask for.

"To compare it like this, Lao Xu can be regarded as tasteful, at least there is nothing wrong with the gifts he bought for you."

"Lao Xu is romantic, but it's almost tasteful." Ning Jun flipped through his mobile phone, "Do you remember what I told you that I saw a friend of Lao Xu when he was hospitalized?" ”

"It's the one who said that he didn't have a very good relationship with Lao Xu, and he didn't let you tell him about his visit?"

"Yes." Ning Jun showed her a photo of himself and Yuan Ben, "Wow, that's called taste." Yesterday the director of the curatorial department of the museum. ”

In the photo, Yuan Ben's facial features are cold, with a pair of thin-framed glasses, and a gentle smile at the corner of his eyes with indescribable contrast.

"You're not, you're just engaged, girl."

"I don't mean anything else, I'm wholeheartedly devoted to Lao Xu Shi, besides, it's impossible for people to like me, the one next to me" Ning Jun pointed to the tall man standing beside Yuan Ben, "boyfriend." ”

"Wow~" Tong Ling let out a smile that thousands of girls understood, "Lao Xu's circle of friends is okay, it's diverse enough." ”

Ning Jun sighed: "It's a pity that Lao Xu can't accept it himself, so I persuaded him for a long time to accompany me to see the exhibition." ”

Ning Jun told the scene in the bar that day, how he met Yuan Ben, how Lao Xu was nervous, how embarrassed his friends were, and how he ended up in the end.

"At first, I thought they had fallen out early, but Yuan Ben's colleagues still knew Lao Xu, so it should have been the past two years."

"Did you ask him what the hell was going on?"

I asked on the side, and Lao Xu said that it was a matter of values. I wondered if it was his homophobia. ”

Tong Ling didn't agree with her point of view: "I don't think it's that simple, by the way, you said which university they are from." ”

"F big, what's wrong?"

"My sister graduated from this school. I asked her to inquire. ”

"No, it was all ten years ago, and your sister is five years younger than Lao Xu, so she can't even see each other."

"People like them usually become campus legends, and it's not new to circulate for a few years, and I always think it's strange that he doesn't mention anything about his college days."

"I've even met his friends from college."

"They are friends, and they will cover each other when there is something," Tong Ling glared at her and educated her, "If I had done anything bad before, would you shake it off to my husband?" ”

"That won't be." Ning Jun still felt unnecessary, "What bad things can Lao Xu do, maybe he just felt that he was quite stupid before, embarrassed to say it, to be honest, what he did in school was quite stupid." ”

"What about when you were studying abroad?" Tong Ling asked, "Also stupid?" I've never seen a person like him, he didn't say anything about his past, think about it yourself, except for what happened after you met him, did he take the initiative to tell you about himself? ”

"As I said, when he was a child, he buried other children in the snow and was beaten by his mother."

"Isn't that smart?"

Ning Jun stopped talking, and she also realized the problem in the middle.

"Also, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to mention it today, do you know Lao Xu's net worth?"

"Oh, I know his salary."

"It's not a job, it's a net worth, savings, whether there are investments, debts, real estate, this kind of thing."

"Huh?" Ning Jun was stunned by the question.

"Isn't it, my little sister, are you a contemporary woman? I don't know any of this, where are you going to get married, under the bridge? ”

"I am, no, we haven't discussed it yet."

"I've got a phone call here, call him." Tong Ling pushed a business card to her, "If your fiancΓ© hasn't been transparent about his past to you, we need to investigate his present." ”

"It's not good." Ning Jun felt that this invisible number weighed a thousand pounds.

"It's much better than when you're sold and you count the money for someone."

Ning Jun accepted the baptism of the storm from his girlfriend on this night, and his fiancΓ© also had a wonderful day.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Douxiao sat in the corner of the cafΓ© to dispel the fun, he put a pillow behind his waist, and hugged another one in his arms, leaning on it obliquely, so uncomfortable, two empty cups of espresso were placed, and the third had bottomed out. There have been so many unexpected things that have happened in the last two weeks that he has lost the energy to fight a little, and his atrophied heart has been locked in a cage without light for many years, because the light that has leaked in recently has gradually expanded, and it is almost to the point that it cannot be closed.

All he needs is a little more thing, whether it's a goodbye face, a phone call, a message, even a smile, his heart can explode quickly and surprise the world.

Can this be considered a surprise?

Xu Douxiao moved his fingers to make the little blue monster blow up a whole row, and reached for the coffee cup.

Besides, where did I get so many opportunities?

He was thinking wildly, and once the opportunity came, he could perform several versions of the big play, and suddenly heard a familiar voice from the booth behind him.

With a little helplessness and some exhaustion, he could even imagine the smile on the face of the owner of the voice at this moment.

"I know, I know, I'm in the cafΓ© downstairs from your studio right now."

Yuan Ben.

Xu Douxiao straightened up and saw his little light from a clever mirror.

Yuan Ben sat there tapping on a laptop, and there was a large cup of peach iced tea next to him, Xu Douxiao knew that it must be so sweet that he was greasy without drinking it.

Mr. Xu, who was determined to say hello, put his mobile phone on the table, drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp, and was punctured by Yuan Ben's distressed appearance of grabbing his hair, and felt that sitting in the corner and peeping was the basic quality that an ex-boyfriend should have.

Before he could figure out why, Wang Xiaoxiao came suddenly.

She sat neatly opposite Yuan Ben, blocking Xu Douxiao's perfect angle. But thanks to her loud voice, she can clearly hear the reason why Yuan appeared in the cafΓ© on weekdays.

"When are you going to tell my wife that you have been suspended?"
