Chapter Twenty-Three: Hell
"Anyway, I'm determined not to go back. But when you're alone in a big city, sometimes it's really lonely and homesick. Tong En, you have been alone in the United States for so many years, are you homesick? ”
"Well, of course I think, the main reason is that my mother is not in good health, except for worrying about my mother's body, other aspects are okay."
"Tong En, I think you are very self-reliant, and your abilities are stronger than me in all aspects, in front of you, I am so inferior!" Xu Hui pretended to be depressed.
Tong En pursed his lips and said, "You have low self-esteem? Why can't I see it in any eye? You're trying to get me to praise you, right? Graduated from a prestigious university, the first secretary of the CEO of a large American company, and a standard white-collar petty bourgeoisie. ”
"Really, I mean really. We are about the same age, but I think you are much more mature and stable than me, and compared to you, I feel like I haven't grown up yet, at most I am a high school student. ”
Tong En smiled, looked at Xu Hui with a serious face, thought for a while and said, "I think it's because you live too happily and are cared for too well." I have been taking care of myself since I was a child, my dad passed away when I was very young, my mom was a middle school teacher, I had to be busy at school until late every day before I came home, and on days off, I had to help students make up for classes to earn extra money to supplement the family's expenses, I often not only cooked for myself, but also kept good meals for my mother, and later, ...... my mom got sick, I took a leave of absence from school to take care of my mom, and then later, I earned money in the United States to support myself ......, in short, it was you, a happy little woman, who was disease-free*. ”
Xu Hui said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Tong En, I really don't know these ......"
"It's okay, it's all in the past. The important thing is that we are all independent people now, and in the probability of 1 in 100,000, we will become colleagues and friends. Tong En said with a smile.
"That's right, knowing you is the most fortunate thing I've ever been to stay in the city, and of course I'm going to have to touch my glass."
Xu Huiteng sat up straight, raised his glass and said, "Come, replace wine with milk tea, and wish our friendship a long time!" ”
Tong En also raised the cup in his hand, "Then I will replace the wine with milkshakes, may our friendship last forever!" ”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and touched the cup in their hands heavily.
Xu Hui finished the remaining milk tea in the cup in one gulp, leaned on the table with her cheeks, and said contentedly: "It's so comfortable, I really want to sit like this all the time." ”
"That's not good, you said that you will invite me to eat Sichuan hot pot in the evening after shopping, you are not allowed to be lazy." Tong Eun's eyes were as clear as the sea.
"Don't worry, the eldest husband is true to his word, and he will never break his word when he says that he will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman. Let me enjoy it again, recuperate and recharge, otherwise I may have died honorably before I have paid the bill. Xu Hui simply leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep.
Looking at Xu Hui's comfortable and enjoyable appearance, Tong En was also infected, she held her head with one hand, leaned on the back of the sofa, and said yearningly: "I really want to be a mediocre and happy little woman, have a considerate boyfriend, have a stable and comfortable job, go shopping, take care of skin care, read books, watch TV, listen to music, someone carries you something when you go shopping, someone hands you a drink when you are thirsty, someone invites you to eat when you are hungry, oh, how beautiful life is!" ”
"Poof", Xu Hui laughed out loud.
"I can't imagine that our assistant has such a simple ambition? On your terms, these are not easy things. All you have to do is hook your fingers and you'll be in a big group in no time. ”
Tong En glanced at her, "You should buy it for a limited time?" Also a large group. ”
Xu Hui sat up straight, "Of course, it's a limited-time rush to buy, and if it's late, let others snatch it." For example, Mr. Thornton, or a certain business elite......"
"Don't imagine wasting all your brain cells again. Jerry and I are friends, best friends, that's all. As for the business elite you mentioned, there is not even a shadow. ”
Xu Hui suddenly came to her senses, she stretched her head in front of Tong En's eyes, her long eyelashes flickered like a fan, and asked strangely: "You haven't told me yet, what happened to He Xiao last time?" ”
Tong En reached out and pressed her back onto the sofa, and said disapprehantly, "What else can it be?" She saw me talking to Ji Siming. ”
"Just because I saw you talking to Ji Siming? Then she is too jealous, just with Ji Siming's reputation as a playboy, she will not fall into the vinegar vat and drown sooner or later? ”
"Who knows what is going on with them, maybe it happened that they had a conflict that day, and I just happened to bump into it, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me, and you are not allowed to talk about Ji Siming in the future."
Xu Hui said angrily: "She still thinks she has picked up a treasure, just Ji Siming's flowery radish and give it to you for nothing, you won't ask for it, don't you want him to be his girlfriend, isn't it looking for a short life?" This He Xiao is really strange, knowing what kind of person he is, he follows others to death, his heart is still so small, he is jealous of Ji Siming, can she eat it? ”
"Well, whatever they are. Have you rested enough? Let's go shopping. Tong En thought it was funny to see Xu Hui's angry appearance, but she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she diverted the conversation.
"Okay, let's go shopping. But I'll have to buy a pair of sandals and walk down in high heels, and I'll have to do that with my feet. ”
"Who will be righteous?"
A rugged baritone suddenly sounded beside him, Tong En and Xu Hui looked up at the same time, and their eyes immediately widened as if they had seen a ghost.
The man standing next to their seats was none other than the flowery radish they just said, Ji Siming.
