Chapter Ninety-Eight: Like That Fox-Like Boy
Shen Linxi sighed and said, "It's a construction and development project. The customer financed from Bank X, and waited for a long time before Bank X replied that there was a problem with the guarantee contract of the project and that it would be reamended within a time limit. We changed all kinds of contracts according to the requirements and handed them in, but they were lost again.
The client is anxious and thinks that our lawyer's job is not in place. However, I have consulted with many experienced professionals, and the work that should be done in this area of law is sufficient and complete. So, now we can only wait for news from the bank. ”
Su Ruo said: "It's not easy to deal with the bank, you try to find a relationship with the bank!" With the relationship, maybe the bank will be able to approve the financing soon. Isn't that all things like that now? ”
Shen Linxi shook her head, and seemed to be in a bad mood: "The customer also looked for a relationship, but it didn't work." ”
Su Ruo suddenly let out a "hey", causing the other three people to look at her. I saw that she suddenly said with a happy face: "By the way, Linxi, Xing Junfeng of our college, you remember, it is the one who is the vice chairman of our school's student union, and now he works in the head office of Bank X."
Last year, at the fifth anniversary party of our classmates' graduation, someone mentioned him, saying that he is now mixing very well, and it seems that he is married to the daughter of a head office leader. Otherwise, you can find him. Maybe he can help you get through the relationship! ”
Shen Linxi's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's great, do you have his mobile phone number?" ”
"Yes, I'll send it to you!"
Shen Linxi nodded and said, "Then I'll call him tomorrow." ”
Ming Xia suddenly asked, "By the way, is Xiaomeng still in Shenzhen now?" I haven't been in touch with her in years. ”
Mougins said: "Oh, you haven't added WeChat with her yet!" I'll give you her WeChat account later. Xiaomeng got married last year, but she didn't hold a wedding banquet. She is now in Quanzhou with her husband, and she said that she plans to start a business with her husband in the second half of the year, and now the preliminary preparations are almost ready. ”
When Ming Xia heard this, he said with envy in his eyes: "It's really good, the marriage is also over, and my career is about to start, Xiaomeng's life is well planned!" ”
Mu Ran said again: "Yes, Xiaomeng belongs to the hard-working type. A few years ago, she worked in Shenzhen, and she worked until she collapsed. Her husband is her colleague, a native of Fujian, and takes good care of Xiaomeng, so Xiaomeng finally got together with him. ”
When Shen Linxi heard this, the scene of Zhou Meng in the hospital six years ago suddenly appeared in his mind. Perhaps because of He Tianling's relationship, Zhou Meng basically stopped contacting Shen Linxi after graduation, I think it was because the past tribulations and emotions were an insurmountable pain in her heart after all!
However, fortunately, she has now started a new life, like a phoenix nirvana, reborn from the ashes.
When Shen Linxi was thinking about it, Mu Ran said again: "However, Ting'er's mood during this time is very bad. She now works in Guangzhou, and a few years ago, she seemed to have reconciled with her former boyfriend. Xia Xia, speaking of this person, we have had trouble with him before, but I never thought that Ting'er would also have a relationship with him! ”
Mu Ran suddenly asked about Ming Xia, which made Ming Xia, who was listening attentively, stunned for a moment. A hint of darkness flashed between her expressions, and the previous excitement suddenly froze. After a moment, she blinked in disguise and said, "Ah, yes! ”
Mu Ran didn't notice the change in Ming Xia's expression, so he said straight again: "That was also a long time ago, when I went to Guangzhou on a business trip for my mentor, I met Ting'er and had a meal.
She was quite fine at that time, and she also talked to me about Meng Zhao, saying that when she went to school in Guangzhou, she was very uncomfortable in interpersonal relationships, so sometimes she would go to Meng Zhao to chat and solve problems. Anyway, Ting'er is the kind of person with a sweet face, and everyone can see that she is in love. ”
Ming Xia pursed her lips slightly, her eyes lowered, but immediately, she pretended to be casual and took a piece of dessert and stuffed it into her mouth.
Mu Ran said again: "However, some time ago, when I talked to Ting'er on WeChat, I felt that she was very depressed, and her WeChat signature was now replaced with something 'It's better to go back', I felt inexplicable, and asked her what's wrong, and she said that she wanted to change places to live, so I don't know what the reason is for her."
However, I guess it's very likely that she has a bad relationship with that Meng Zhao again, now that I think about it, I was really stupid six years ago, and when I graduated, I still thought that I could have a little more possibility with Meng Zhao, and then ......"
Mougins did not say any more.
After Su Ruo heard this, she had an angry expression on her face and said: "Ting'er is stupid, back then, Ran Ran hadn't been hurt by that Meng Zhao, if she hadn't seen it, and good horses wouldn't eat back grass, why was she so obsessed?" Why did she want to hang herself from a tree so much? ”
Shen Linxi glanced at Su Ruo, shook his head and said, "How can you explain the matter of feelings?" What worries people the most now is that Ting'er has always been introverted, but don't hold back her illness. Now many people are depressed, so if we usually have time, we will chat with Ting'er, enlighten her, and help her reduce some negative emotions. ”
Mu Ran also nodded and said, "I hope Ting'er can get through this hurdle." ”
Mu Ran suddenly asked Su Ruo again: "By the way, Xiaosi, two years ago, why did you get married so suddenly?" Before, we have been embarrassed to ask you, your husband is so much older than you, did you really marry him because of love? ”
Su Ruo hesitated for a moment, and then said ambiguously: "Those arguments in school have been defeated by reality, and finding a perfect ideal man can only be enjoyed in imagination." If you are so stupid that you have to find one in your life, then wait to be alone! ”
Ming Xia asked very inappropriately: "Then you are getting married for money?" ”
Su Ruo glanced at her, and said helplessly: "People or wealth, I have to figure it out, I can't find a rich and handsome, I have to have something practical." Life is too short to be happy. People, no one knows what will change in the future, maybe in a few years, I will change a little fresh meat! ”
Shen Linxi sneered and laughed: "Okay, don't be disgusting." Marriage is such a child's play, you'd better not toss around! ”
Su Ruo looked at Shen Linxi noncommittally, and suddenly said: "A lot of feelings are also not up to you, if you can control everything, is it still called love?" ”
Mougins said disapprovingly: "Your uncontrollable passion is called passion." Love requires responsibility, not arbitrariness. ”
Su Ruo leaned on the sofa, shook her beautiful curly hair, and said slowly: "Responsibility, obligation, family affection, hum, if you have to take everything into account, is it still pure love?" ”
Mougins was noncommittal: "Let's see what happens!" Anyway, you have always been the benchmark for the boldness of our house. However, life needs to be as passionate as you. ”
Su Ruo smiled brightly: "Well, I love to hear this." People just want to live freely! ”
Mougins raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and said, "We should go too, right?" ”
Shen Linxi immediately said: "Whatever you go, just sleep here with me." By the way, Xiaosi, if you don't go back, your husband is in a hurry, right? ”
Su Ruo said with an understatement: "He's on a business trip, and he doesn't know where he is tonight!" ”
Shen Linxi said: "Okay, tomorrow and the next two days, let's relax together." ”
"Okay, let's go to the hot springs, play tennis, eat, and shop!"
"Let's go do yoga!"
"Watch a movie!"
"Watching a movie? We're four women, what's wrong with it! ”
"You're corny, gay is trending now!" ……
The four of them had a lively discussion about the activities they were going to do over the two days of the weekend.
Everyone made a fuss for a long time, and finally it was time to sleep soundly in the dead of night. Ming Xia was lying on the bed in the guest room, looking at the faint moonlight coming in from the window, and the steady breathing of Su Ruo, who was already sleeping peacefully on the other side of the bed, came to her ears, she tossed and turned, tried all kinds of methods, but she couldn't sleep. She actually had insomnia......
On the sofa at night, what Mouran said about Dai Shiting and Meng Zhao, Ming Xia listened to her ears, and her heart, which had tended to be calm, was like a pool of water blown by the wind, rippling layer by layer, layer by layer, for a long time.
With a free and easy-thinking personality, she has always disliked being tied up by emotional things. She hopes that love should be refreshing and clear, and those sentimentality, infatuation entanglements or scheming have nothing to do with her. Once, she also met a few boys she admired and liked, but the other party didn't seem to have the same feelings for her, so she quickly forgot about it.
Of course, she has also met boys who like her and express their hearts to her, but she feels that she has no heartbeat, so she simply refuses, not giving the other party a chance at all.
However, Meng Zhao, who was as cunning as a fox, made her worry for a while. He always looked at her with a smile and a deep meaning, which made Ming Xia feel that he was very underwhelmed, but at the same time she felt inexplicably flustered.
He came to harass her a few times three times and twice, expressing his love to her, but soon turned away again, as if he had not done anything, which made Ming Xia angry, but he was stunned.
Mingxia was confused and stubbornly resisted the anxiety in his heart. She couldn't believe the experienced Meng Zhao, but in her subconscious, she expected that Meng Zhao's feelings for her were different from those for other girls, perhaps, she was really a unique existence for Meng Zhao.
Later, she graduated, and at first, she and Meng Zhao also talked on the phone many times. Every time, Meng Zhao would tell her about his excellent performance in the company and the many affirmations he received from his boss. Moreover, he did not forget to remind Ming Xia every time that he should leave Germany as soon as possible and go to Guangzhou to reunite with him.
Although Ming Xia felt sweet in his heart, he never let go of his mouth, but just said lightly, "What are you kidding!" ”
Later, when Meng Zhao called her again, he would talk about some of the problems he encountered at work, as well as his endless exhaustion. However, he no longer asks Xia to go to Guangzhou next summer, just to show that Xia is a heartless guy.
Although Ming Xia also cared about Meng Zhao, she only told him a few words to persuade him not to work so hard. And Meng Zhao just said noncommittally, "I know." So, I don't know when the communication between the two of them has been less of the same as before, but more of an awkward alienation.
Later, Ming Xia and Meng Zhao called and exchanged messages even less. They occasionally text and greet each other, but that's about it. As a result, Ming Xia became more and more depressed, she didn't know what had happened to Meng Zhao in Guangzhou, but intuitively felt that his previous confessions to herself seemed to have been forgotten by him, which made Ming Xia feel extremely uncomfortable.
Because, in her heart, there is such a determination: although she and Meng Zhao have never officially established a relationship, this unclear but clear attitude between them should be regarded as a commitment. So, why can't Meng Zhao just play a flash game with himself without being salty, right?
So, early one Saturday morning, after insomnia for most of the night, Ming Xia picked up his mobile phone in an extremely bad state of mind and dialed Meng Zhao's number, but his mobile phone was still turned off. Suddenly, she remembered that Meng Zhao had left her a landline phone in the house he rented, so she immediately found the number from the mobile phone and dialed it.
The phone over there was quickly answered, and Ming Xia was about to call Meng Zhao's name directly, when suddenly, she heard a delicate and delicate voice coming from the earpiece. The voice was very low, as if it was afraid of disturbing anyone: "Hey, who is it?" ”
Ming Xia's heart was as if she had been struck by electricity, and she almost screamed. But she immediately covered her mouth with her hand and swallowed the words that had reached her lips.
The other party asked again: "Hey, who is it?" ”
That familiar voice couldn't be wrong, Ming Xia subconsciously held his breath, not daring to make a sound. It wasn't until the other party muttered and hung up the phone that Ming Xia held the phone in a daze, listening to the busy sound in the phone, and her heart was already mixed.
Dai Shiting? That's right, it's Ting'er's voice! I have lived together in college for four years, and her voice will never be heard wrong next summer. She is soft and sweet, with a southern accent in Mandarin, which is highly recognizable. But why? Why Dai Shiting? Why did she appear at Meng Zhao's residence so early in the morning? In this regard, Ming Xia didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it.
Gradually, a fire brewed in her chest, and the fire began to spread, beginning to burn her little by little, making her feel a very unfamiliar pain. This pain also made her more and more angry, and she couldn't wait to go to Meng Zhao's residence in person at this moment to find out the truth of the matter.
Sitting and guessing is not her Deng Shuang's character, so she began to dial Meng Zhao's mobile phone, and her fingers trembled nervously.
Once, twice, three times...... I don't know how many times, I don't know how long it took for her brain to become numb, and her fingers became mechanical because of repeated keystrokes. Finally, the other end of the phone was connected. When Meng Zhao's voice came from the other end of the phone, Ming Xia would not react.
