Chapter 69: A Chance Encounter with a Boss
Meng Zhao looked at him amusedly, and suddenly asked, "How old are you?" Literacy, right? ”
The little boy immediately changed his expression and said angrily: "I'm almost ten years old, of course I know how to read!" ”
As soon as Meng Zhao heard this, he took out his mobile phone, quickly found a few web pages, and then handed them to the little boy: "Well, this is the news on the Internet, you can see for yourself." ”
The little boy reached out and took the phone, and read it carefully, and he read it quietly as he watched. Finally, he looked up, bit his lip tightly, and there was a very nervous look in his eyes.
Meng Zhao took back his mobile phone: "I didn't lie to you!" There's a lot you don't know. ”
The little boy's two little hands were squeezing around, and it seemed that he was beginning to feel uneasy.
Meng Zhao smiled, he reached out and touched the little boy's head, and said, "Okay, fortunately, you haven't met the bad guy yet, don't be nervous now." Keep eating! ”
The little boy was stunned, and then his expression relaxed suddenly. He nodded vigorously and began to eat the burger again.
Meng Zhao looked at Ming Xia, who was looking at him intently with a smile in his eyes. Meng Zhao smiled at her and winked, and then said to the little boy, "When I was a child, I was like you, running away from home. ”
The little boy looked at him curiously: "Huh? It's true? Did your mother scold you too? ”
"It's my dad. He not only scolded, but also beaten. Meng Zhao replied to the little boy very seriously.
The little boy asked, "Then where did you go after you ran away?" ”
Meng Zhao sighed, and said with a somewhat sad look: "I was a few years older than you now, and after running out of the house, I thought that I wouldn't go back, so I made my father anxious." But my experience was quite thrilling. There were several times in between, when I almost got bitten by a dog, and then I freaked out when I saw several tall men, as if they had been following me.
I wanted to go home, but I was afraid that my dad would beat me again, so I stayed up late into the night, and my stomach was cramping with hunger. Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I walked back, and happened to meet my dad on the way. When I got home, I realized that my parents were going crazy, and they called the police and mobilized all their relatives and friends to come out to find me. As soon as I got home, I ate two large bowls of hot noodles and lay on the bed with a warm quilt, and then I felt that it was good to be home! ”
After Meng Zhao finished speaking, he put two thumbs on his chin, as if he was still recalling the scene of that night he recounted.
The little boy also rested his hand on his chin, and he looked at Meng Zhao with a complicated expression. After a while, he whispered: "Actually, I am also very scared in my heart, I also want to go home, but I don't dare." ”
Mingxia sneered and laughed, she reached out and pinched the little boy's face, and said, "It's a child, your mother must have been angry for a while, so she scolded you a few words." If you don't go back, they're going to go crazy by now. Give me your phone number and I'll call your mom. By the way, what's your name? ”
The little boy hesitated before he said, "My name is Yangyang." ”
When Mingxia answered Yangyang's phone, she heard a woman inside with a hoarse voice and a crying voice, and asked urgently: "Yangyang, is it Yangyang?" ”
"Excuse me, are you Yangyang's mother?"
"I am, I am, I am. Who are you? You see my son, don't you? Yangyang's mother asked on the other end of the phone, her voice was full of eagerness, and there was an infinite surprise when a person suddenly saw the dawn when he was desperate.
Ming Xia briefly told the other party about the situation, and then put the phone to Yangyang's ear. Yangyang was a little timid, but he still calmly called into the phone: "Mom, I'm Yangyang." I'm at McDonald's! Suddenly, I saw two tears rolling in his eyes, and he was choked and speechless.
Mingxia told Yangyang's mother the address of McDonald's where they were located. The other party said that he would come over soon.
Mingxia hung up the phone, touched Yangyang's head with his hand, and saw his nervous and uncomfortable expression, so he said, "I almost lost it, are you afraid?" After you go back, admit your mistakes with your parents, and you can't be so willful in the future! Dangerous and scary! ”
Yangyang pouted aggrievedly and said, "Then they can't always quarrel, I get very annoyed when I hear it." My mother scolded my father, saying that he was not home all day and night, and was looking for a secretary, so my father scolded my mother, saying that she knew how to go shopping, do beauty every day, quarrel with my grandmother, and make my grandmother angry.
I also criticized my mom a few times, saying that she shouldn't have my grandma off. As a result, my mother was very angry at me, she said that I was a white-eyed wolf and had no conscience, she told me to get out, and said that I would never recognize her as a mother again! ”
As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and his eyes were full of tears. However, he quickly wiped a handful of tears with his hand, sniffed, and fell silent.
There was a surprise in Ming Xia's expression, she looked at Meng Zhao opposite, he was flat and unfazed. Ming Xia couldn't help but sneer, this Yangyang is really unlucky, why did he get such a pair of irresponsible parents?
At this time, Yangyang's eyes had begun to constantly aim at the entrance of the restaurant. Whenever someone came in, he stared wide-eyed, and then he put his chin in his hands on his face with a look of hope and fear.
The door of the restaurant was pushed open again, and a woman in a red leather suit rushed in. As soon as she entered, her eyes quickly scanned every corner of the restaurant.
This should be Yangyang's mother, right? Mingxia guessed, and she immediately went to see Yangyang at the same time. Sure enough, Yangyang was happy at first, but immediately became nervous again. He quickly lowered his head, as if trying to hide himself.
What a bear child, and he's still in a dilemma! Ming Xia thought it was funny when he looked at it. So, she beckoned to the woman. The woman also happened to be looking at this place at this time, and as soon as she saw Ming Xia beckoning, she walked over quickly in surprise.
When she saw Yangyang with her head down, her eyes turned red in an instant. She stepped forward, hugged Yangyang, held his face, and choked excitedly: "Yangyang, you scared your mother to death!" ”
When Yangyang saw his mother's reaction like this, his originally nervous expression relaxed, and his hand wrapped tightly around his mother's waist. The mother and son were immersed in the joy and sorrow of this reunion.
At this time, Yangyang's mother's mobile phone rang, she reached out and took out her mobile phone, glanced at it, and quickly picked it up: "I have already seen Yangyang, have you arrived?" Okay, come in! ”
She hung up the phone and said gratefully to Ming Xia and Meng Zhao: "Thank you so much, I don't know how to express my gratitude." Yangyang's father also arrived, and he came in immediately. ”
As soon as Yangyang heard this, he became nervous again. His little face tensed, his hands clasped together, twisting and turning.
At this moment, the door of the restaurant was pushed open again, and a man in a short black cashmere coat walked in.
Ming Xia glanced at it and almost screamed in surprise. It turned out to be Lu Hailong who came in! This is the first time Lu Hailong has seen him after resigning and leaving the company next summer.
Does he also come to McDonald's for dinner? This time, is he still with Yu Hongfei? Ming Xia was guessing while quickly thinking in her mind, should she dodge? lest some of Lu Hailong's private affairs be seen by her, and the two of them bump into each other again, it will be too embarrassing!
Mingxia was about to take action, when he suddenly heard Yangyang's mother next to him shout: "Hailong, here!" ”
Mingxia just wanted to lower his head, but suddenly stopped. What the?! Yangyang's mother is called "Sea Dragon"! She also said "over here". In an instant, Ming Xia was so surprised that her hair was about to stand on end!
She looked at the fashionable and fashionable Yangyang mother in front of her in a daze, and then looked at Lu Hailong, who was still personable and calm in the distance, and her mind suddenly slipped through the scene she had seen in the Korean restaurant in the past: Yu Hongfei and Lu Hailong had a showdown and asked Lu Hailong to divorce, but Lu Hailong said that his wife had a tumor in her lung, and that his child was still young and cried all day long......
Ming Xia was shocked by this incredible truth, and her heart was hot and angry.
"The ugliness of human nature"! In an instant, five big words flashed in front of her eyes. At this moment, Ming Xia felt that the most profound thing she learned when she went to the company for an internship was such a life lesson - "The Ugliness of Human Nature"!
Disdain, grievance, indignation...... All kinds of moods gathered on Ming Xia's face. She suddenly hoped that Lu Hailong's outrageous lie and betrayal would be revealed to the world! His glamorous cloak no longer has the hypocrisy of blinding the world! He was finally condemned by conscience and morality!
Just when Ming Xia was thinking nonsense, Lu Hailong had already walked over. Because Meng Zhao was blocking half of Deng Shuang's face, the first thing Lu Hailong saw was Meng Zhao, and he had already warmly held Meng Zhao's hand and said, "Thanks to you, thank you so much!" As he spoke, he looked at Ming Xia again, and Ming Xia had no choice but to look at Lu Hailong head-on.
As soon as the two of them looked at each other, Lu Hailong's face instantly flashed with embarrassment and surprise, but he quickly regained his composure, and then showed a sincere and surprised smile. While shaking hands with Ming Xia, he said, "Ming Xia, it's you!" It was a surprise. Thank you, thank you! Thanks to you, his mother and I are in a hurry. This stinky boy, when the adults say a few words to him, he runs out of the house, and he usually spoils him. ”
Yang Yang glanced at Lu Hailong secretly, muttering in a low voice.
Ming Xia looked at Lu Hailong's vivid expression, and she had an indescribable disgust in her heart, so the smile on her face was very rigid, and she just said mechanically: "Mr. Lu, hello, hello!" ”
There is a strange alienation between the two of them that is not easily noticed by outsiders.
Meng Zhao looked at Ming Xia's awkward expression on the side, he couldn't guess what the reason was, but he said without showing a look: "Okay, now that you are here, we can rest assured." ”
He patted Yangyang on the shoulder again: "Yangyang, it's time to go home, you can't let your parents worry anymore." ”
Lu Hailong took out a wallet at this time and said, "Thank you, and let you break the bank." With that, he took out a wad of money from his wallet and stuffed it into Meng Zhao's hand.
Meng Zhao immediately resolutely blocked the money handed over by Lu Hailong with his hand: "Mr. Lu, you are too polite. Today's matter is the same for everyone. Besides, you and Ming Xia still know each other, which is even more incumbent. Hurry up and put your money away and take it home! The little one had been freezing outside for a long time, and he had to hurry home and rest. ”
When Yangyang's mother heard this, she couldn't help but reach out and touch Yangyang's little hand, and then touched his forehead. Seeing this scene, Lu Hailong couldn't insist anymore, so he expressed his gratitude again, and said that in the future, the family invited the two of them to dinner, and then thanked them. The two sides said a few more polite words, and Lu Hailong's family left.
After the backs of Lu Hailong's family of three disappeared from the door of the restaurant, Meng Zhao looked at Ming Xia with a complicated expression, and touched her: "Your reaction is not normal, how did you do it?" ”
