Chapter 70: Door-to-door
As the sports car passes through the gate, the security guard straightens up and salutes, the headlights speed down the big straight, and a statue fountain appears in front of the windshield.
Kaiming came out from under the raised car door, and in front of him was a two-story mansion with a dark red tile roof, embossed stone pillars, and the house was surrounded by gardens, small bridges, and rockeries, ensuring that every window could see it and enjoy a different view.
An old man watering flowers on the lawn, morning glories covered with water droplets glittering golden in the setting sun.
"Dad. Jiang Yan stood on the side of the road and waved to the man. He wears a roll-neck T-shirt, casual shorts, and a pair of black slippers underneath.
He is Chairman Jiang, a legend in the business world? I didn't expect to meet him in such a situation, let alone enter his home.
The man put down the watering can and stepped on the wet lawn.
"Yan'er, you're finally back, your mother has been waiting in the house for ten minutes. ”
Kaiming finally saw his appearance clearly, "Aren't you the old employee of the paper mill?"
"Oh, boy, you remember me. The man said, "Lao Zhang, who was in charge of the mixing pool that day, was sick, and I went to work for a while." ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were the chairman at the time, and you were talking nonsense. ”
Jiang Yan said to her father: "He can't be blamed for this, who would have thought that the chairman would go to the production site to work for his old friend." ”
"Haha. Jiang Dong laughed loudly.
Through Jiang Yan's introduction, the two officially shook hands, and when they let go, Jiang Dong said to Kaiming: "You are the friend brought back by Yan'er, and you don't know how to abide by the rules." It sounded like a detractor, but he said it with a smile.
The three of them climbed several steps and entered the mansion together.
When you enter the door, you will hear a ding-dong sound, and the old butler is waiting in the doorway in a black gown, with a lampstand, a crystal chandelier, and a canvas with brass carvings on the tongs.
On the leather sofa in the center of the living room, a middle-aged woman sits with her feet folded in a zigzag, her hands folded on her knees, a high-necked black gauze skirt outlining her bumpy figure, and her black hair is raised into a bun.
She listened to her daughter's whispers, raised her chin slightly, and looked at the guests who came in with small eyes: "You are Kaiming?"
He nodded, looking away from his cold face.
Jiang Yan pulled him to sit on the sofa, under the gaze of the second elder, chatting about some things about the Jiang Group, Jiang Dong asked him about the specific plan to enter the straw paper industry, he said that he was joking at that time, and he did not study it in depth at all.
After all, it's someone else's family matter, he won't talk too much as an outsider, the success of the plan is someone else's, and failure may be instigated by the notoriety, this kind of thing will be done by a fool.
The small talk was interrupted by the presence of the old butler, who reported to his wife that dinner was ready.
Kai Ming wanted to say goodbye, but Jiang Yan brought him to the table and sat down facing a large meal.
"When are you going to get divorced?"
While she was eating, Mrs. Jiang suddenly burst out. Kaiming finally understood the purpose of this meeting, "I will leave, when I have everything ready." ”
"The reason why I agree to let Yan'er be with you, a little clerk, is because you are down-to-earth, not as attentive as other sons, the one named Zhao Hao last time, eating my family's meal, was still fooling around outside, and finally ran away with the daughter of a nouveau riche who sold leather shoes. ”
"Mom, his name is Zhou Qiang, and Zhao Hao broke up because of his incompatible personality. Jiang Yan interrupted her.
"Personality incompatible, child, don't be stupid, if I hadn't asked your dad to secretly spend a sum of money to send him away, maybe one day you would know that he was with Xu Wei, and he hid under the covers and cried. ”
"How could he possibly take a fancy to Aunt Wei in her forties. ”
"Haven't you heard of the mother-lover complex?"
Jiang Yan was stunned, "No wonder Aunt Wei hasn't been here for a long time." ”
Mrs. Jiang pursed her lips and said, "I have removed her from the circle of friends." ”
Kai Ming didn't know why he heard this, Jiang Dong broke the big crab and gave him half of it, and the two men gnawed silently.
Mrs. Jiang's eyes fell on Kai Ming again, "Although you are married for the second time and your family is poor, as long as you treat Yan'er well, the Jiang family will not treat you badly." ”
"Uh, thank you for your attention. After listening to the angry words, he could have flipped the table and left, but he knew that doing so would have no other effect than ruining a table of food and bringing unhappiness to everyone, and he was no longer dominated by honor and disgrace, and he could face everything calmly.
After dinner, Jiang Dong invited the guests to drink tea outside. There is a small pavilion facing the golf course, and the lawn has no end in sight, and the two can sigh while looking up at the sunset in the sky.
"I was amazed by what you just did. Jiang Dong said with his back against the bamboo chair.
"Oh?" Kai Ming put down the purple sand teacup and looked at the elder.
"My wife said those excessive words, and you were able to be so calm. ”
Kaiming smiled, "Maybe I'm pretending." ”
Jiang Dong shook his head, "I have read countless people in the mall, when a person wants to disguise himself, his eyebrows will rise unnaturally, you just behaved, even if it was back then, I couldn't do it." ”
"Back then?"
His gaze suddenly looked far away, "In fact, my deeds are not as magical as those uploaded in newspapers and magazines, and the first fund for starting a business that year was borrowed from my mother's family." Her father was a businessman in the soy sauce business, and I didn't suffer much from his white eyes, and I had a quarrel with my wife because of this, and I almost broke down, but fortunately I survived, otherwise there would be no family, and there would be no Jiang Group. Don't blame her for her snarky words, because she has been a daughter since she was a child, and she naturally has a habit of looking down on people with money. ”
"I understand that everyone's circumstances are different, and their eyes are different. It is surprising enough that she can accept a poor divorced man as a son-in-law. ”
Jiang Dong smiled bitterly, "Because she also had a poor husband as an example in the past, she is open to you." ”
"I see. ”
After experiencing her daughter's many failed romances, she seems to understand that she is not picking a rich son-in-law, but helping her daughter find a lover. Jiang Dong turned to Kaiming and said, "Will you be that person?"
"Sorry to disappoint you. ”
"yes, that's a shame. That child's emotional road was really rough. ”
"As long as you hold on until dawn, the darkness will pass. ”
Jiang Dong glanced at him, "You seem to empathize, do you have the same opportunity?"
"I hid a woman in my heart, and there, the whole world was mud and dust, and only she was colored. ”
Kaiming poured two cups of green tea, the sun had completely sunk, the sun was lit up, and halfway through the tea, Jiang Yan came out of the pavilion.
"The tea is cold, I'm going back to the house. Jiang Dong got up, and when he passed by his daughter, he squeezed his eyebrows.
Jiang Yan took Kai Ming for a walk on the forest road, the path under the moon bent forward, accompanied by street lamps along the way, and the sound of crickets in the grass rose and fell.
"It's a big forest. He said as he walked.
Jiang Yan took his arm and replied, "In the future, this will be our private garden." ”
He suddenly stopped, turned to her and said, "Jiang Yan, you are the kind of woman who makes men drool when they see it, but you will only waste time on me." ”
"Why? Is there anything about me that displeased you?"
"You're great, relative to humans. ”
She hugged him and said, "I'll give you whatever you want." ”
"I don't need to get anything. ”
"Please don't leave me. ”
"Nothing can hold me back for a man who was once close to perfection. ”
He pushed her away and walked out of the woods.
Before his back disappeared into the night, she shouted, "Kaiming, I won't give up." ”
Pushing open the door, the wife sat on the sofa in the living room, and the dining table was covered with a cover.
He walked over and said to his wife, who was busy standing up, "Sorry, if I don't come back for dinner next time, I'll call you in advance." ”
An Yi shook his head, bent the corners of his mouth and said, "I'll give you a bath." ”
Her husband nodded, and she hurried into the bathroom.
Kaiming stood in front of the glass door of the living room, but the reflection was a monster with scales all over his body, and he was looking at the night view outside from the perspective of a monster with a human body.
In the silence, the doorbell rang, and he went to open the door, and a man in a waiter's uniform stood outside the door, carrying a fruit basket in his hand.
"You ......"
The man came back to his senses and said, "I'm looking for Anyi." ”
After An Yi heard the bell, he came out of the bathroom, "Zhang Wei, why are you here?"
Zhang Weiyang raised the fruit basket in his hand and said, "Congratulations on moving back!"
Kai Ming stepped out of the way, and Zhang Wei followed An Yi into the living room.
"I haven't seen you go to the bar for more than a month, I thought something happened to you, I went to your house yesterday, and my aunt said that you had moved back. ”
An Yi took his fruit basket and said, "I've been busy moving recently, and before I could be notified, you automatically came to the door." ”
"Without you, my bar would be out of business. ”
An Yi glanced at him, "You are the second generation of the rich, do you still have to rely on me, a casual guest?"
He tugged at the corner of her sleeve and said, "An Yi, my bar exists because of you." ”
An Yi smiled, "Do you work so hard to promote every customer?"
"No, only for you. ”
The two chatted for a while, Zhang Wei noticed the man in the room and asked An Yi, "Who is he?"
"He's my husband. ”
When Zhang Wei heard this, he loosened her sleeve.
"He's the one who ran away from home for a year?"
An Yi put her index finger to her lips, signaled him not to talk nonsense, and quietly turned around, but fortunately, her husband was watching the night and didn't pay attention to the two.
To her surprise, Zhang Weiwei strode towards him.
The two men glanced at each other, An Yi was about to happen something bad, Zhang Wei stretched out his right hand: "Hello, my name is Zhang Wei, and I am a waiter at the Sixth Sense Bar." ”
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The husband was stunned for a moment and shook the hand: "Hello, I'm Kaiming." ”
Zhang Wei said: "I know that every time An Yi is drunk, he will mention your name. ”
An Yi touched his forehead and turned his back, this guy would really help. All of a sudden, the drunken life in the past was exposed to her husband.
Zhang Wei came out of the villa, stopped in the courtyard, and saw An Yi hugging her husband's waist from behind, but the man was standing in front of the glass door with an expressionless face.
"He doesn't deserve you. Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and walked into the night.
