Chapter 339: Gathering
c_t; The next day, Qin Ruojing returned to her usual appearance on the surface, and left the house after breakfast, Qin Ruoying slept lazily again, and didn't get up until Qin Ruojing left.
Chu Ge shaved early in the morning, took a simple shower, found a casual dress that was neither high-profile nor shabby, took a rare look in the mirror, stroked his hair, grinned, and examined himself in the mirror.
After all, tonight he will see a lot of friends who used to get along day and night, and as a relative of his mother-in-law, he naturally has to pay attention to his image, and he can't embarrass Shi Tong in front of his mother's relatives, right?
And no matter how many people will cherish the friendship of those years at that time, he really attaches great importance to this party;
After solving the problem of clothing, Chu Ge took out the red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago and stuffed a thousand yuan into it.
It's not a lot, but it's definitely not a small amount of money.
Closed the bedroom door and sat on Qin Ruojing's bed, Chu Ge looked at his hands, rarely a little breathless, and wanted to call Shi Tong many times to ask him who would come to this party tonight, but he couldn't help it many times.
In this way, there is more sense of expectation and mystery, of course, more importantly, he still has some illusions about whether Situ Ying will attend, for fear that when he makes this call, this little illusion will be completely shattered.
The left hand, holding the antique level, once it is broken, there is no place to repair it, the right hand, gently rubbing on it, Chu Ge's expression is extremely gentle, as if the hand is not a shabby hand, but brushes the hair of the beloved person, and caresses her delicate face.
This hand was given to him by Situ Ying, at that time they were still in junior high school carefree, in order to buy him this hand, Situ Ying spent all the scholarship she had saved for a long time, and she was reluctant to use it, at that time, this hand was a big piece, I don't know how many envious, jealous and hateful eyes Chu Ge ushered in.
He still remembers that at that time, there was a senior student in the school who teamed up with the gangsters outside the school to snatch his hand, he stared at the blood-red eyes, carried a bench, and broke the arms of three gangsters outside the school, and bit off a piece of flesh from the leg of a gangster with his mouth.
It's a pity that while he was angry and hurt people, he himself was even more seriously injured, the whole person was beaten covered in blood, and he couldn't get up when he crawled on the ground, if it wasn't for Situ Ying appearing in time, he put down the remaining five or six people, helped him get his hands back, and then carried him back to the orphanage, maybe he would have died outside that time.
Before you know it, ten years have passed......
At this moment, Chu Ge's eyes fell on the shabby hand, and the whole person was completely caught in the memories of the past, and there was still a little bit of calmness and certainty in his expression, just like an ignorant teenager in adolescence, sometimes his eyes were gentle, sometimes he was sad, sometimes his eyes were red, and sometimes he was smirking.
It wasn't until Qin Ruoying's voice came from outside the door that Chu Ge calmed down the churning thoughts in his heart, changed into his signature smile as before, and walked out of the room.
This day, in Chu Ge's anticipation, it seemed to have become very long, and he finally stayed up until five o'clock in the evening, and Chu Ge was full of expectations, and he went out with some gains and losses.
Chu Ge did not accept Qin Ruoying's instigation and drove the Ferrari 458 or the Maserati, but took a taxi and went straight to the destination, the Pappas Hotel.
Again, he was going to hang out with his friends at the orphanage, not to show them off, which would be too boring.
Even if this world is so utilitarian and realistic, there is still a pure land in his heart, whether he is naïve or stubborn, but this is Chu Ge.
In fact, who has not had some persistent and convicted things, but with the passage of time, some things have gradually faded, or even ...... Disappear completely, or be completely turned upside down.
However, Chu Ge really didn't expect that Shi Tong would set the venue for the party in a five-star hotel like Papas, if he wasn't a swollen face and a fat man, it would be enough to show that he should be mixing quite well now, after all, the consumption level here is not ordinarily high.
The scheduled time was six o'clock, and at half past five, Chu Ge came to Pappas.
When he got out of the elevator and stepped into the corridor, Shi Tong's private room appeared in his sight, looking at the open door, and hearing the lively sound inside, he was a little nervous in his heart, some gains and losses, and his expression also showed hesitation.
If she's there, I'...... What should I say to her, what kind of expression should I make first?
Chu Ge had thought about this question for an unknown number of times this day, but at this moment, his mind suddenly became blank, and all the answers he had thought of disappeared all at once.
is the so-called concern is chaos, at this time Chu Ge is no longer a thoughtful, decisive and calm "overlord" who is as safe as Mount Tai in the face of life and death, just an ordinary big boy who suffers from gains and losses, is confused by feelings.
After hesitating for nearly a minute, Chu Ge cheered himself up, straightened his clothes, and finally took a step towards the private room not far away.
The private room is large and luxuriously decorated, with two large round tables, one of which is a little crowded and the other is quite loose.
Although from Chu Ge's point of view, some people had their backs to him, but his gaze only swept slightly, and one thing was determined.
This matter is, Situ Ying didn't come.
Sighing and relieved, Chu Ge put on the smile that Dao He should have, and walked in.
Seeing Chu Ge walking into the private room, there was a brief silence in it, and most of the people were stunned for a moment, looking at him hesitantly.
Although Cao Xu and Liang Jinjiang on the table with few people saw him at a glance, they all looked at him with a smile very tacitly, and then looked at Shi Tong, who looked a little confused, and no one spoke.
"I'm sorry, you're ......"
As tomorrow's groom official, Shi Tong is a young man with a thin figure and good spirits, and when he saw Chu Ge walking in, he greeted him, a little apologetic, and asked with some doubts.
Chu Ge smiled, took out a red envelope containing a thousand yuan and handed it over, "Stone, congratulations, I'm Chu Ge." ”
Hearing Chu Ge report to his home, everyone showed a sudden look.
In their impression, Chu Ge is still the same boy who always shaves his head, always likes to cause trouble, and always has a rebellious look in his face, but at this time Chu Ge has become a big man, even if he can still find traces of the past between his eyebrows and eyes, but he has slightly long hair, and his temperament is completely different from the past, no wonder everyone can't recognize it.
"It turned out to be you, I'm really sorry, I haven't seen you for so many years, your change is so great, for a while, I really can't recognize it. ”
At this time, Shi Tong also hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and did not give Chu Ge a bear hug like Liang Jinjiang or Cao Xu, but shook hands with him.
Then, Shi Tong pinched the red envelope with his fingers without a trace, judged the amount of money in it from the thickness, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.
Most of the people who came here followed two hundred yuan, and a few of them were good, so they followed his five hundred to one thousand money, could it be that Chu Ge is mixing well now?
Although Shi Tong's tone sounded quite surprised, and there was a smile on his face, but with Chu Ge's eyesight, he could naturally see at a glance that the real surprise contained in this reaction was only a small part, and it was more of a politeness on the scene;
At the two tables, except for Liang Jinjiang and Cao Xu, the rest of the people also greeted Chu Ge at this time.
However, most of these people's reactions were similar to Shi Tong's, that is, a kind of politeness on the scene, and after greeting them, they also picked up the topic they had just talked about each other.
Chu Ge was not surprised by such a situation, after all, everyone had been separated for so many years, and this was a normal thing at all.
What's more, his personality was too stubborn when he was a child, and he always liked to do some strange things to show himself, except for his childhood sweetheart Situ Ying, plus Liang Jinjiang and Cao Xu, two sworn friends, others were not particularly kind to him.
"Come, Chu Ge, sit here, the last time we met was too hasty, we have to have a good drink today!"
Cao Xu stood up from the table at this time, smiled heartily, and also greeted Chu Ge, and punched Chu Ge in the chest.
Seeing Cao Xu make such a cordial gesture and hearing him say such enthusiastic words, everyone inside was moved, but they didn't expect that there was still a connection between Chu Ge and Cao Xu, and when they looked at Chu Ge's gaze again, there was a little change.
You must know that when Cao Xu was in the orphanage before, he was the kind of big brother type of character, and after leaving the orphanage, he was able to become the director of the Electric Power Bureau of Qinggang City at the age of less than thirty, which is already quite good in their wave of people.
Liang Jinjiang also stood up from the table and smiled sincerely, "Okay, you two hurry up, Chu Ge, I've poured you all the wine, you came so late, do you have to punish yourself?"
This time, seeing that not only Cao Xu treated Chu Ge like this, but even Liang Jinjiang, who is now a section chief in the customs, looked like this, and the expressions of everyone at the table were slightly stagnant.
The good people all regretted it in their hearts, and felt that it would be nice if they were more enthusiastic about Chu Ge just now, if there was really anything to ask Cao Xu or Liang Jinjiang in the future, at least they could leave a good impression of love and righteousness in front of them today.
At the same time, everyone also muttered in their hearts, Chu Ge can still hug Cao Xu's thigh, it's really not simple.
