Chapter 33 The money is hard to buy, and I knew it early
After she found excuses to go to the bathroom three times, the meal was finally over, she hurriedly packed up her things and quickly walked to the door, she couldn't help but complain about herself as she walked, every time she was in the same space as Jiang Li, the last one to go first must be herself, and it didn't go very well.
After sending Xia Mu home, Ji Beiran drove An Whale home, and the two of them were silent along the way, only the car stereo played soft music, which felt quite comfortable.
"Whale Fall, did you know Jiang Li before?" After holding it in his stomach all night, Ji Beiran still couldn't help but ask, although the answer was self-evident, he still wanted to hear her say it in person.
An Jingluo, who was leaning against the car window and closing his eyes, was slightly relieved when he heard his question, and he finally asked. Ever since he frequently looked at herself at the dinner table and stopped talking, she felt that Ji Beiran saw the relationship between her and Jiang Li, and it may have been because she didn't have the right time to ask, so she endured it until now.
"Well, we used to study at the same university, in the same class but with different majors, my roommate and his roommate are boyfriend and girlfriend, and we often go out together and get to know each other." Since Ji Beiran didn't know about her and Jiang Li's past, it wouldn't be too much to explain, and it wasn't too necessary anyway.
"Does he like you or... Is it trying to chase you? ”
"What?" An Whale looked at him blankly with his mouth wide open, how could he have such an illusion? Does Jiang Li seem to like she or want to chase her?
"He wants you to stay and work overtime during today's meeting, and it's just the two of you." Ji Beiran saw her look like a ghost, and his heart was secretly refreshed, it seems that Whale Fall didn't see Jiang Li's mind at all, it's great, so he has a lot of chances of winning.
"Big brother..."An Jingluo covered his face and was speechless for a while when he heard him say this, "Don't tell me you didn't hear that he was joking, besides, he himself said it was a joke." ”
"Whale fall, in fact, there is no so-called joke, all jokes have a serious component, it's just that the listener will not care." He pierced the cloak of the so-called joke and touched the bloody truth inside.
The car fell silent again, until the car stopped downstairs in the Anjingluo community, she turned around and said to Ji Beiran while unbuckling her seat belt: "He is just joking, it is impossible between me and him." ”
An Jingluo no longer has this luxury, and now she understands the truth that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Only by not pinning all your expectations on others can you be free and reborn.
Her current idea is very simple, that is, to do a good job in the job she likes, make a lot of money, and grow up with Zuo Zuo, and if the others are fated, they will naturally come to her, and they don't force it.
Before she closed the car door and left, Ji Beiran wanted to say to her: If I say that I like you and want to chase you, will you be joking with me?
But he never said it, he was afraid that once this kind of confession was spoken, the cloak that was a friend between the two would be torn off, and he was afraid that he wouldn't even be friends with her.
Wait, when they get to know each other better, and get to know each other better, maybe the chances of his confession will be greater.
An Jingluo, who was disturbed by Ji Beiran's few words in the car, bored with his mobile phone, habitually clicked on Jiang Li's circle of friends, and actually updated several photos today.
In the photo, the villain wearing a white T-shirt and blue bib pants and a baseball cap is not to mention how cool it is, but such a cool villain is gnawing on a custard bun in his hand, and he is eating all over his face.
After looking at it for a long time, An Jingluo carefully saved every photo in the album, which is the most precious trace of her missing Zuozuo's growth, and it is her auspicious light.
The more she looks at it, the more she likes it, she can't wait to hold him in her arms immediately, rub his little head, and can't help but open Jiang Li's dialog box, last time I promised Zuo Zuo to accompany him to eat hot pot to the amusement park, I don't know if we can achieve it together this time?
Luoluozi: [Can I meet with Zuo Zuo on Saturday this week?] I want to take him to an amusement park. 】
After waiting for a long time, I didn't see him reply, and I don't know if I saw it, and An Jingluo was not obsessed, as long as he saw that he could go back, and he was not in a hurry to return at this time.
Jiang Li had actually seen her news a long time ago, but he didn't want to reply to her, and when he thought of Ji Beiran's straightforward eyes staring at her at the dinner table today, he felt ten thousand uncomfortable in his heart.
J.: [Every Saturday is the day when Zuo Zuo meets his grandparents. 】
An Jingluo was already in a daze on the bed and was about to fall asleep, and when he heard the mobile phone ringing, he got up expectantly, and felt lost after seeing Jiang Li's reply, it seems that the original plan to take Zuo Zuo to the amusement park for a whole day, and then take him to eat hot pot in the evening is going to be in the soup.
She was struggling with whether to ask if it was okay on Sunday, and she was afraid that Jiang Li would not reply, but the two of them seemed to have an electrocardiogram, she just picked up the mobile phone here, and before the words were finished, Jiang Li sent a message from there.
J.: [Sunday is OK.] 】
An Jingluo screamed excitedly holding her phone, taking a deep breath and trying to stabilize her restless heartbeat, her fingertips typing quickly on the keyboard.
Luoluozi: [Okay, then where will I pick him up then?] 】
J.: [I'll go that day, I'll go to his Hong Kong-style restaurant for breakfast first, and then I'll go to the playground. 】
Yes? Jiang Li is also going? I thought it was just her and Zuo Zuo, and then I thought about the conditions I said before and the situation of the last meeting, it doesn't seem to be bad, just go.
Luoluozi: [Well, then I'll wait for you at the entrance of the amusement park when I arrive. 】
After waiting for a long time and no more news came, she threw her phone aside and wrapped herself in a warm quilt, and began to look forward to the weekend.
When she was abroad, she would often see the host and his family organize a family trip once a week, sometimes to a picnic in a beautiful place, sometimes to go to a movie, sometimes to a new restaurant for a big meal... At this time, she is very envious, thinking that one day she can travel with Zuo Zuo and enjoy the long-lost parent-child time.
Thinking about it, she fell asleep, and the dreams were all she wanted and wanted, until she woke up the next day with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
When she came to the company the next day, she couldn't hide her happiness and the stark contrast between Xia Mu's itinerary with low air pressure throughout the whole process, after Xia Mu sighed for the nth time, An Jingluo couldn't help but joke with her: "Assistant Xiao Xia, do you have anything unhappy to say to make me happy." ”
Xia Mu glanced at her resentfully, and said sullenly: "You are happy enough now, and the corners of your mouth have not come down since you went to work, so please don't base your happiness on my pain anymore, okay!" ”
Xia Mu rubbed her temples irritably, the lethality of yesterday's quarrel with Chen Du was too strong, resulting in serious sequelae, she had insomnia until midnight, and she fell asleep in a daze when it was almost dawn. Who knew that she was also arguing with him in her dream, looking at his sassy expression, she wanted to beat him on the spot, but as soon as she grabbed him, she was woken up by the alarm clock before she could raise her hand, which was really aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, don't be depressed, I just happened to go to the café downstairs to buy coffee, help you bring egg tarts and European bags back, eating sweets when you're in a bad mood can cure the most." An Jingluo rubbed her hair and whispered a few words of comfort.
As soon as he walked to the door, An Jingluo turned around as if he had thought of something: "Give you a chance to relax, go to the planning department to help me get the plan back, I have already agreed with their manager." ”
It's just a plan, and it won't take long, An Jingluo thought that when she came back, Xia Mu was already waiting for the dessert in her hand in the office, but she didn't see her come back when she ran out of coffee.
Maybe it was delayed by something, she got up and prepared to go to the planning department by herself, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Xia Mu standing at the door with her head down, her hands clenched tightly in fists trembled slightly, her lips were bitten white by her, as if she was trying to endure something, and the moment she saw An Whale falling, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears flowed out.
An Jingluo saw that something was wrong with her, and immediately pulled her into the office, full of doubts: How did it become like this when she took a document? What the hell is going on?
"Xia Mu, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Ann Whale Luo handed her the tissue and asked eagerly.
"Woo woo, Sister Luoluo, that Ke Yi, she... She threatened me. Xia Mu sat on the sofa and cried breathlessly, tears desperately poured out of her eyes, like beads with broken threads, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.
Keyi? Ann Whale's eyes narrowed.
"Why did she threaten you? Don't be afraid, tell me what happened. An Whale patted her back to help her breathe, and comforted her softly.
Gradually, Xia Mu stopped crying and sobbed as he talked about what had just happened.
She went to the planning department to get the plan according to An Jingluo's instructions, but the manager of the planning department was not there, and only Ke Yi was in the entire office. Xia Mu thought that although she didn't like Ke Yi, the most basic colleague relationship still had to be maintained, and Sister Luoluo seemed to be in a hurry about the plan.
"May I ask when Manager Li will come back?" Polite and detached.
"The manager went out to discuss work with the partner, and he won't be able to come back for a while." Ke Yi explained to her with a smile, "You are here to get the plan, the manager gave it to me before leaving, saying that someone would come to get it, I thought it would be Director An who came over in person." ”
Xia Mu looked at her and smiled and felt a little hypocritical, so he wanted to quickly take the plan back: "Director An has other things that are inconvenient to come over, besides, it wouldn't be overkill to let her come over in person for a trivial matter like this to get the documents, I can take the documents back." As he spoke, he tried to snatch the folder from her hand.
"Your name is Xia Mu, right?" Ke Yi suddenly withdrew the folder in his hand, looked at Xia Mu's somewhat angry eyes, and said with a smile, "I just came to the company and haven't made friends yet, if you don't mind, I want to be your friend, okay?" ”
Xia Mu looked at her beautiful big eyes full of anticipation, and was speechless for a while, she knew that she should refuse her fiercely, but she couldn't say no words of refusal in her eyes.
After a short silence, Ke Yi smiled: "I know what you mean, in the adult world, if you don't speak, you will refuse, since you can't be friends, then we can always talk a few words, right?" ”
Xia Mu didn't know why she agreed to her request at that time, if she knew that the next chat would be like this, she wouldn't have said much to her, but it was hard to buy and she knew earlier......
