After a slap, not only Mr. Zeng was shocked, but even I was a little afraid. And today, two days later, the man who was slapped didn't move at all, which couldn't help but make me a little lost.

I took a leave of absence from the company, sat at home alone, and habitually looked at my phone, but there was no sound.

Xiaobai came back from work and brought a pepper chicken and pulled me to the living room, where the two of them sat in front of the coffee table, eating food silently. Because I chose it was very spicy, I couldn't bear it after a while, and both of them drank some wine, and the things that were held in their hearts were almost revealed.

"The USB drive was 100% sent to you by Wang Luoqi, Xiaojie, you are so smart, why did you fall for it?"

How could I be fooled? It's not that I haven't suffered losses in Wang Luoqi's body, I know her thoughts better than anyone else, and I'm sad that Zeng Ziqian concealed it.

"Doesn't it say that a man who has been divorced once is a treasure? He didn't tell you that there could be something else. Did you ask? ”

I listened to Xiaobai's inquiring tone and shook my head gently, what is divorce? Yang Heng and I are still married? These so-called rules and regulations are set by men and women who have just dated or have not yet dating, and even if I really marry a divorced man, what is it?

It's just that the time I spent with Mr. Zeng is not too short, and he didn't tell me about it. On Valentine's Day, he handed me the ring, and I really thought I could go through this long life with this man.

Furthermore, there is another point that I am most unacceptable to. That's Mr. Zeng's lie, I remember that time he came back from abroad, we had a serious exchange, I asked him about Yang Heng and Wang Luoqi, he denied it, and told me that he only knew their relationship after staying with me, what about the facts?

That time I went to Fujia to find Yang Heng because of the house, Wang Luoqi was also there, Mr. Zeng half-jokingly drove Yang Heng away, at this time Wang Luoqi was in the private room, can he not know?

Afterwards, we met with Wang Luoqi several times, and he pretended not to know this woman, and that time I beat Wang Luoqi at the local taxation bureau, and when he came back, he got angry and said that he shouldn't do anything.

Because it's his cousin.

What is the reason for his kindness to me?

Even though Wang Luoqi hinted to me that the reason why Zeng Ziqian was good to me was because he wanted to help Yang Heng ask me as a woman, so that Wang Luoqi and Yang Heng could live happily together, even though I knew that Wang Lei had entrusted Wang Luoqi to Mr. Zeng before leaving, I still chose to believe in this man.

However, he could not live up to even the most basic of candor.

Xiaobai listened to me and said: "I understand you, according to your character, you can accept Mr. Zeng's personality before when he was so domineering, but now you just need an explanation from him, but Xiaojie, in fact, in your heart, you still mind anything else, right?" ”

Tears rolled in my eyes, and I confessed: "During the time I was with Zeng Ziqian, I never heard him talk about his family, until I heard that recording, I didn't know that his parents didn't know that there was still me as a person, and he himself knew that my family, his parents were very difficult to accept." ”

I knew this early on, but I didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Xiaojie, when you choose Mr. Zeng, you should think of these."

I've thought about it, I've thought about facing these disturbing mundane things with this man, and I understand that life can't be smooth sailing, but at this moment, I'm too tired.

Xiaobai asked me if Mr. Zeng had contacted me, and I glanced at my phone before shaking my head.

In the evening of the next day, Zhao Yang came to me and said with a depressed face: "Sister-in-law, what a big enmity you have with your second brother, you actually slapped him in front of so many people, where did you let his face go, before you, no one dared to do anything with him." ”

Xiaobai was not happy when he heard this, and said: "Zhao Yang, I don't like to listen to what you say, what does it mean that no one dares to do anything with him?" If you do something wrong, you will be criticized, do you still want our Xiaojie to apologize to him? ”

Zhao Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't mean that, I just think it's not a matter if two people are so stiff, you see ......"

"Zhao Yang, you are so familiar with your second brother Zeng, let me ask you, do you already know the relationship between Wang Slut and your second brother?" Xiaobai stared at Zhao Yang and said, "Tell the truth." ”

Zhao Yang looked at me embarrassedly and said, "I don't know much about this. ”

Xiao Bai Qi immediately sent off the guest, I sat in the living room, and I felt very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, at this time, my mother called me and asked me to go home immediately. Last time we quarreled unhappily, although I had some resentment in my heart, I still went back honestly, just entered the door, I saw my mother with a smile on the face to greet her, and by the way also held my hand.

I inexplicably glanced at Lao Yuan, who was sitting on the side, and then sat down.

My mother looked at me and said with a smile: "Look at you, these are all people who are going to get married, how did you make yourself like this." ”

Tie the knot?

I was shocked, my little mother glanced at me, smiled again, and said, "Why don't you tell us about such a big thing, I heard that Mr. Zeng proposed to you." ”

Hehe, I sneered in my heart, this is my dearest family.

"Xiao Jie, look, Mr. Zeng has proposed to you, and we can be regarded as a family," my mother stared at me and said in a roundabout way: "You also know the conditions of our family, Xiao Hao will go to college next year, your father's current job is also unstable, and there is not much money left, and the economy is very tight." ”

"So what?" I think my tone must have been very cold.

"So, when you and Mr. Zeng are engaged, we can't help with those bride price, wedding banquet or something," my mother glanced at my face, and asked, "Did Ziqian say how much bride price to give?" ”

Disgust swept through my body, and I stared at my little mother and said, "You called me back in such a hurry, is this why?" ”

When my mother saw that my tone was very irritable, her face immediately pulled down, she looked at me and said, "Aren't you going to get married?" I've asked what's wrong? Besides, do I take any of the bride price money given by Ziqian, you are such a younger brother, don't you help a little? What's more, marrying a daughter-in-law requires the attitude of marrying a daughter-in-law, Ziqian is not short of money, what's wrong with giving some? ”

"And how much do you want?"

When my mother heard me ask, she looked left and right, and said: "How can I say that I am also the CEO of a listed company marrying a daughter-in-law, and the gift money is not a few million, so I can't say it." ”

Millions?

I felt a basin of cold water slam against my head, and for a moment, I was cold from head to toe.

"Xiaojie, you have to know, raise your head to marry your daughter, bow your head to marry your daughter-in-law, if he is willing to spend money on you now, when the time comes...... You're having a good time, aren't you? ”

I couldn't bear it anymore, and finally jumped like thunder, got up, pointed to my little mother, and said: "Little Mom, when I married Yang Heng, you knew that her parents were just ordinary salarymen, and you had to ask people for such a high bride price, I endured it at that time, what about this time?" You have never asked about the relationship between me and Zeng Ziqian, open your mouth and close your mouth about money, are you marrying a daughter? There is a bride price to pay back the dowry, you should understand this truth at your age, have you thought about my position when you do this? ”

When my mother saw me, she also stood up, pointed at me, and said, "You conscienceless, who am I doing this for, am I not for you?" ”

"For me?" Two lines of tears came out of my eyes, and I choked up and said, "Do you know how Wang Luoqi describes you? Turtle, she said that my parents are turtles, our kind of family, suitable for living a down-to-earth life, not a whimsical mother, and I can tell you now, your wishful thinking is dispelled, Zeng Ziqian and I can't get married. ”

Before leaving, I glanced at Lao Yuan and said, "Take care of your daughter-in-law, even if it's for Xiao Hao." ”

I was already in tears when I went out, I naively thought that as long as two people worked hard, a relationship could wait, and now I know that I am really stupid.

In the first year after graduating from university, I lived in a shared house of 300 yuan, and in addition to paying living expenses every month, I would also give Yuan Xiaohao a little pocket money, because I had no experience and no skills in the face of customers, how many cases and I missed them, and I was scolded by my boss for a little thing, and I also lost my wallet because of carelessness.

After Yang Heng's derailment, I desperately wanted to save my dignity, but I fell in love with Mr. Zeng unconsciously.

And now, reality has slapped me hard and told me that I need to be sober.

The future for me and Mr. Zeng is too difficult.

Five days later, there was no movement on the familiar number, and I gradually came out of my disappointment, and I accidentally saw the Sichuan-Tibet trip on the forum, and wrote my resignation on the same day.

Of course, Yang Xiaoyun did not expect that I would resign, or, I did not expect, I would leave this position that I love.

After explaining Dabao to Xiaobai, I simply packed my luggage, bought some necessary daily necessities, called Brother Zhao, who led the team this time, and after determining the departure time, I was ready to leave.

I didn't tell Zeng Ziqian about leaving this matter. My slap seemed to have interrupted all our contact, and for a week, he chose to remain silent, presumably with the answer.

Being a backpacker for the first time, I was actually quite excited. Before leaving, Xiaobai and Heizi sent me to the station, and I took the opportunity to call Lao Yuan, thought about it, and dialed Zeng Ziqian's number for the last time.

The phone rang a few times and went unanswered, and I was slightly disappointed and said goodbye to the little white and black son.

Xiaobai was sad and cried on my shoulder, saying, "I will take good care of Dabao, Xiaojie, you must call me often and come back early." ”

I nodded and got into the car without looking back.

After the train started, the mobile phone in my pocket vibrate, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was Zeng Ziqian calling.

I immediately pressed answer.

"Mr. Zeng." Probably the last time I called your name like that.

"Are you alright?" Zeng Ziqian's tone was very gentle, without a trace of arrogance.

"It's good." It's just that I haven't seen each other for a week.

There was silence on both ends of the phone.

After a while, Zeng Ziqian finally spoke up and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you." ”

With that, what else can I say?

"It's okay, it's all over." I tried to make my tone as light as possible, saying, "Actually, we both understand the gap between each other, maybe it was wrong from the beginning, right?" ”

"Actually, I ...... from the beginning"

The train whizzed by, and when the signal was a little better, there was only silence on the other end of the line.

"Mr. Zeng, you have to be good in the future." I looked out the window and said, "Maybe I ......"

"Break up?" Zeng Ziqian listened to my words, coughed through the phone, and said, "Are you going to break up?" ”

I took a breath and said, "I'm sorry, maybe we weren't close enough." ”

The phone hung up, and I stared at the group photo on the screen and cried softly.

The train arrived in Xi'an two hours later, the team leader Brother Zhao was very enthusiastic, gave my phone to his wife Yu Xiaobei, out of the station you can see the white Beetle, Sister Xiaobei is very enthusiastic, on the way to see that I am not in a high mood, casually asked: "Lovelorn?" ”

I nodded, and she smiled and said to me, "When you are out of love, you don't like to see the whole world, and after a while, you will feel insignificant." ”

I asked her how she knew so well, she told me the story of her and Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao looked handsome and handsome on the forum, but I didn't expect that in order to chase Sister Xiaobei, she actually pretended to be GAY.

The scenery of the journey will make people forget part of the unhappiness, and there is a story, my mood quickly improved, after seeing Brother Zhao, more than a dozen travelers had a meal together, after the lunch break, eight cars set off together towards the Sichuan-Tibet line.

Sister Xiaobei and I are still in love, so they pulled me to sit in the back, occasionally greeted the driver Brother Zhao, a mouthful of "Hani", I envy the love and intimacy between them, but Sister Xiaobei told me that the feelings between them have been entangled back and forth for five years.

When Brother Zhao heard Xiaobei say that back then, he interjected and said, "What am I chasing you, it's obvious that you are chasing me, okay?" ”

Brother Zhao is the only man who travels far away with his family, and the rest of the other travelers are either looking forward to an affair or coming to collect style.

The trip to Sichuan and Tibet lasted for more than ten days, when I first came, my altitude sickness was more serious, I would take a vitamin C effervescent tablet every day to relieve the symptoms of plateau, and then slowly get used to it, Sister Xiaobei has a Nikon SLR in her hand, and she will pull me to collect wind every two days, Brother Zhao will sometimes be jealous, and most of the time help us carry things.

Brother Zhao said that here you can see the magnificent beauty of the Nyingchi region of Norway and Sweden, and you can also see the vastness of the Outer Mongolian grassland, some people say that there is a certain Nordic style here, but Brother Zhao said that this is a unique and unrepeatable beauty.

Lu Lang has the famous stone pot chicken, and the stone pot is produced from Motuo, which is known as the blue lotus in the world. The stone pot is thick and strong, inky black. It is said to be micaite. The local free-range chicken, plus the specialty palm ginseng, mushroom stew, the soup is delicious, the meat is tender, as a foodie, it is naturally irresistible.

After eating, I went back to my room and sent the picture to Xiaobai, and after a while, I received a call from her.

"Yuan Xiaojie, I also want to resign."

Of course, I persuaded her not to be impulsive, and the two turned on their mobile phones to make calls, and at the end, she said: "Xiaojie, I guess you haven't had time to watch some entertainment gossip recently, there is something, I don't know whether to tell you or not." ”

Don't say it, it must be related to Mr. Zeng.

Actually, I'm more calm than Xiaobai imagined.

"Mr. Zeng has left the country, maybe ...... The newspaper said that Hengyu wanted to expand the North American market, and he may not return. ”

Xiaobai is so stupid, in fact, I know.

After a week in Lulang, in mid-April, we arrived in Lhasa and stayed in a pre-booked transportation hotel, most of the four-star hotels here are not equipped with air conditioning, after all, Lhasa is a city of sunshine, and it is enough to rely on the sun to heat in winter. After staying, we went to the Potala Palace in twos and threes.

Because I was too tired, I went back first, talked to Xiaobai on the phone in the hotel, chatted, and talked about Dr. Liang.

Under Xiaobei's reminder, I realized that I had been on this trip for almost 50 days.

"Xiaojie, there is a gossip, I only found out a few days ago, do you want to know?"

You mean.

"Your sale of the house, actually...... Dr. Leung also knows. ”

So?

"Don't you notice it yourself? Your house went very smoothly from sale to sale. ”

Don't......

"Xiaojie, if I were you, I would definitely be moved to know that a man secretly bought her house and silently protected her in order not to hurt his self-esteem."

But Xiaobai, you don't know, people like me, my family, is only suitable for singles.

"Xiaojie, there is one more thing, please forgive me." Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiaobai said, "I heard from Heizi, Dr. Liang took a leave of absence a few days ago, and maybe, he also went to Tibet." ”

I hung up in a panic.

I knew that there must be a reason why Xiaobai thought of a way to trick me.

This year, all the travelers who went to Tibet knew the news that on the Xin-Tibet line, a girl rode a motorcycle to Lhasa, but unfortunately, she died suddenly halfway. When we got the news, it was the third day of our visit to Lhasa.

In the evening, a few of us drank with the local residents, and Brother Zhao kissed Sister Xiaobei in front of everyone and said: "Life is short, you have to make waves when you are young, so as not to have a son, you can't tell him back then!" ”

I also have a lot of feelings about this sentence, and I have also thought a lot along the way.

I didn't bring my mobile phone when I went out, and when I returned to the hotel, the boss downstairs stopped a group of us and asked, "Is there a girl named Yuan Xiaojie among you?" ”

Sister Xiaobei looked at me with a puzzled face, I raised my hand inexplicably, and heard the boss say: "You come here, someone called our hotel several times in one night, it's really strange." ”

I walked over suspiciously, and heard the boss say: "A man, it is said that in order to find this girl, he has called all the hotels in Lhasa. ”

That's right, the name of the accommodation registration is Sister Xiaobei's.

It's just, who called me?

I panicked, watched my boss call the phone, and saw the eyes of our group all staring at me, and my heart was full of thoughts.

When the phone was connected, I nervously put the earpiece to my ear and said, "Hello, I'm Yuan Xiaojie." ”

On the other side of the earpiece was a cacophony and, of course, the sound of panting breathing.

"Hello?" I saw that the other party didn't speak, and asked again.

"It's me." Finally, there was a voice on the other end of the phone, saying, "Your phone can't get through, I can only look for you like this." ”

Actually, Liang Wenhao?

I thought of the hint Xiaobai gave me, so I nervously asked, "Should you be in Lhasa, right?" ”

"No, I'm a hundred kilometers away," Liang Wenhao coughed violently twice and said, "Recently, the news said that there have been too many accidents on self-driving tours, and I'm just worried about you." ”

"I'm fine."

"I'll ride there, and it might take two hours." In the earpiece was the wind whirring on the plateau, mixed with Liang Wenhao's hoarse voice, "In two hours, I want to meet you." ”

"Dr. Liang."

"That's it, it's too dark, I'll hang up first."

I could only respond, and when the phone hung up, Sister Xiaobei immediately came up, stared at me, and said, "The hero of your story is here?" ”

I smiled and didn't answer.

Liang Wenhao arrived half an hour later than he estimated, everyone knows that the night road here is very unsafe, I don't know how he found our hotel, he rode a Harley, his helmet took off, attracted a lot of attention.

I stood at the door of the hotel and watched him walk briskly towards me, and before he could say anything, he threw his helmet and hugged me tightly.

Several people in the same group knew that I was here to heal, and when they saw Liang Wenhao at this time, they thought that the man was chasing after him, and they couldn't help but applaud.

He hugged me so tightly that he didn't let go until he realized that I was a little repulsed, gave me an embarrassed look, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm so excited." ”

I pointed to the hotel and said, "The boss has prepared a meal for you, can you eat some first?" ”

Liang Wenhao's eyes stayed on my face, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Look how thin you have become." ”
