Chapter 11: Jinpeng
Early the next morning, Jin Peng waited downstairs at Shuqing's house. He always thought that it was not polite to ask an elderly person to help him run around, so he tried to make the other person feel as comfortable as possible, although he was not very willing, but the word image prevailed.
Shuqing was carrying a small bag, and as soon as she walked out of the staircase, she saw Jinpeng. He parked his car on the side of the road, which was a no-parking zone. She knew that Jinpeng was a cautious man, and generally cautious people knew to pay attention to their words and deeds. They don't want to be criticized by others for some behaviors, let alone a person like Xiang Jinpeng, who has a successful career, if he encounters the police, he will inevitably cause trouble, after all, it is not the same as before, and government officials and businessmen always deliberately keep their distance. So when she saw Jinpeng, she was inevitably a little surprised.
At the same time, Jin Peng also saw Shuqing, he quickly extinguished the half-smoked cigarette and greeted him.
"I'm sorry to bother you to come here. Shuqing said.
"Where, please go with me, I hope it didn't disrupt your original plan. Jin Peng smiled and took the small bag in Shuqing's hand.
"Well, no, I was about to go back and have a look, and to be honest, I haven't been back in a long time. ”
"Oh, yes! That's great. ”
"No police coming. ”
"Oh no, I've been staying here, as long as people are there, it shouldn't matter if the car is parked here for a while. ”
"That's good, our community is too old, there is no parking lot, the cars in the community are parked far away, they don't dare to park on the side of the road, you don't know, the traffic patrol police have to come three times a day. ”
"Well, I guess it's very comfortable except that you can't park your car. ”
"Yes, this house was rented to me by Mrs. Ann when I first came to town, but she never collected rent. Shuqing looked back at the old community where she lived. smiled.
"Mrs. Ann is very kind and kind. Jin Peng said, "Are you ready? We're leaving." ”
"Okay, let's go!" Shuqing checked her seat belt again and nodded. She wasn't quite used to sitting in such a slightly extravagant Land Rover off-road vehicle.
It was the first time that Shuqing sat in a car that was considered a stranger, after all, this was the second time she had seen Jinpeng. It's inevitably a little awkward to have nothing to say on the two-and-a-half-hour drive. But Shuqing didn't know what to talk about. However, Jinpeng seems to see Shuqing's thoughts.
"I think it's the first time that Aunt Shuqing has taken a stranger's car home. Jin Peng smiled.
"Uh~" Apparently Shuqing was taken aback by Jinpeng's sudden questioning.
"Oh. I hope it doesn't disturb me to remember the face of my hometown. Jin Peng glanced at Shuqing, quickly looked ahead, and said jokingly.
"Oh, no. No. ”
"How many years have you known Li Zhen's mother, uh, Mrs. An?"
"Oh, it's been a long time. Let me think. It's been about 30 years, maybe it's more, maybe not, hehe~ I can't remember the days when I'm old. ”
"It's a shame you didn't come to our wedding. Jin Peng glanced at Shuqing again, in fact, what he wanted to ask was, "In that case, why didn't you come to her only baby daughter's wedding back then?" ”
"Oh yes, it's a pity. I wasn't in Chongqing at the time, I went to Guangzhou, and one of my nephews was in Guangzhou, and he was taking me on a trip at the time. ”
"Oh, your nephew is such a nice man. ”
"Yes, there are very few such young people nowadays who are willing to take an old woman on a trip. They always think we are too troublesome, our legs and feet are not good, our diet, the weather, ...... Anything small can make us sick. ”
"You, alone?" Jin Peng looked at Shuqing strangely again.
"Oh yes! I'm alone. Shuqing turned her head to look out the window, and her voice became quiet.
The conversation stopped here. Finally, the question of 'one person' was raised. Shuqing thought to herself, there are not many old girls like her, probably everyone will think that she is a strange old lady with problems, and even suspect that she has done something unseemly when she is young, or has some unseemly disease, otherwise how could she be single all the time. From girlhood, youth, middle age to old age now, there has never been a man. No, she had loved a man, when she was younger, that boy from a foreign land, that man with strange curly hair, they were so in love...... Thinking of this, Shuqing suddenly turned her head to look at Jinpeng. She frowned, as if she had a lot of questions.
"If you don't mind, I want to ask, do you have a baby with Li Zhen?" she asked.
"Oh, no, no. I've always wanted children, but Lee Jin doesn't. Jin Peng sighed helplessly. Then he said: "I sometimes think she is very strange, I even feel that she married me because of money, hehe, of course her family itself is very rich. I know that Mrs. Ann left most of her property to her. However, I always had the feeling that I didn't know if she really loved me. You know, sometimes you can always feel whether the other person loves you or not. ”
"In that case, why did you marry her?"
Jin Peng didn't answer Shuqing's sharp questions right away, maybe he didn't know why he wanted to marry her, he thought that he would make up his mind to marry Li Zhen when he first met her. God, she, she's so beautiful! That day, she stood at the end of the staircase, wearing a small pink and purple dress, and her graceful figure stood out. She looked at him with a haughty smile and was instantly conquered.
"She's beautiful!" Jin Peng said after a moment. "I think I was fascinated by her beauty. ”
"Oh?" Shuqing was obviously a little surprised, she thought that Jinpeng was not a person who only wanted to be beautiful.
"There are some things, although I want to know the reason, but, I just can't find the reason. Jin Peng said thoughtfully. Then he paused, and then added, "She has a magic that makes you can't help but get close to her. We got married after a month of knowing each other. It's a good match. I know there's something wrong with her, like her desire to control money, she's selfish, cold, and she's always, well, not very kind to her friends. To be honest, I don't know why I married her. Jin Peng shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Love is always like this. Shuqing looked at Jinpeng and said.
