Volume 2 Tongxin Garden Chapter 242 The existence of rivals in love often promotes feelings
Let's say it's another day, but fortunately, today is the weekend and there is no need to go to class, otherwise Ju Ruobai really can't get up early.
I had dinner with the guy who went to Yan Fei last night, it took more than two hours, and it was almost twelve o'clock when I came back. I rested very late, and I didn't sleep well last night, and the quality of sleep was so bad that when I opened my eyes today, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
"Hmm......"
Ju Ruobai hurriedly got up, washed up, and hurried to the lobby.
However, there was no one else in the lobby, only the dean Chu Fangxing was sorting out things, and when she saw it, she took the initiative to help.
"Woke up late today?"
"Ah...... Sorry, I came back a little late last night, and then, I had some insomnia last night, so I ......"
"I'm not asking you, why are you so nervous."
"Ah...... But I'm really embarrassed that everyone gets up early to work and I'm still lazy......"
"What's that? We are all old people, we can't sleep for long, you are a young person, you need more rest, take good care of your body, so that you can take better care of the children. ”
"What the dean taught, I remembered."
The two of them started talking to each other while carrying the scattered boxes on the ground.
"Isn't that kid's air conditioner so difficult to repair, and he won't come back until twelve o'clock in the evening?"
"The air conditioner, it did take me a lot of effort to repair, the cause of the failure is a bit complicated, I am a little skeptical that the natural conditions can make up such a coincidental bunch of problems, but think about it carefully, there should not be someone deliberately break the air conditioner like this, that is also very tiring."
"Ah, haha, yes, that kid is really bothering you, I don't know if he thanked you well."
"Mr. Yan invited me to dinner, and it took a lot of time because of this, so when I came back, it was already late at night."
"Dinner? It can't be a pavilion garden, right? ”
"Huh? Does the dean know about that store too? ”
"Hehe, I've heard about it, that kid seems to like that store very much, and if he wants to invite you to dinner, he probably goes there."
"Yes, the things inside look very expensive, and the environment is also very exquisite, I really don't know how much that meal cost, it must be very expensive, and I am a little embarrassed."
"Hahaha, huh? Then I will tell you quietly, that restaurant is a membership system, you must become a member to spend there, and the annual fee is six figures. ”
"Hmmm......"
"In addition to the cost of the dishes, there is also a charge for using the private rooms alone, and the price of an hour is five figures, and it will change depending on the supply and demand situation, and the price may increase if the number of private rooms is tight."
"Sure enough......"
"However, the dishes in it are relatively good and cheap, compared to the venue fee of tens of thousands of dollars an hour, the dishes only need a few thousand yuan a piece."
"It seems that my imagination is still lacking, and I still underestimate a lot......"
Originally, Chu Fangxing said that she wanted to tease her, but seeing that Ju Ruobai became a little depressed, she couldn't help but ask with concern:
"What's the matter, Ruobai, you don't look like you're happy?"
"Ah," Ju Ruobai originally wanted to hide her emotions, but when she was discovered, she became a little panicked for a while, "I was thinking that if the money from inviting me to dinner was used in the welfare home, then the children should be able to eat better meals." But in this way, I may be a little sorry to Mr. Yan, but you still haven't heard it, Dean. ”
"Oh, that's the case, Ruobai, you don't have to worry about this, that's what you want to say, you just accept it, don't think about us."
Although she comforted her like this, Chu Fangxing could detect that Ju Ruobai did not say all her heart.
She looked at the girl in front of her carefully, obviously she had a flawless face full of youthful atmosphere, but she was dressed in the clothes that only old aunts like to wear, just like her quiet and calm character, she couldn't see half of the playfulness and liveliness that a young girl should have.
She is like an old aunt in the appearance of a young girl.
Just when Chu Fangxing looked at her and thought about it, Ju Ruobai suddenly asked a sentence, which made her a little difficult to deal with.
"Speaking of which, Dean, you know the prices of that store very well, have you been there before?"
"Huh? I? No, no, no, how could I go to that kind of place, where only high-ranking people go, I'm an ordinary old aunt, and I went to show jokes to others......"
After saying this, Chu Fangxing suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization.
But before she could say anything, a car suddenly stopped outside the door of the welfare home, and honked the horn twice, begging the doorman to open the door.
The janitor took a closer look, this car had never been seen before, what was a stranger going to do in their welfare home? Unless it's ......
I saw that the window in the back seat of the car was shaken down by the people inside, and the people inside finally showed their heads, and as soon as the janitor saw each other, he knew that his thoughts had been confirmed.
"Ahem, this, I'm sorry, our dean has a rule that outsiders can't enter our welfare home at will." The janitor said to the people in the car.
"Big brother, you can do well, help me call your dean, you should also know who I am?" There was a man's vicissitudes of life in the car, and it seemed that the person who came was not a young student who had no experience in the world, but was already a person who had been through the ups and downs for a long time.
"The dean she hasn't promised once before, this time ......"
"Whether she says yes or not, at least I want her to know that I've been here and will come in the future."
The doorman heard that he had said everything about this, and it was not easy to refuse anymore, he originally planned to go in to find the dean, but he didn't expect that Chu Fangxing had already come here.
"What's wrong?" Chu Fangyun asked him.
"Hmph, he's coming for you again." The uncle seemed to be smiling, he was looking forward to how Chu Fangxing would react.
Chu Fangxing was slightly stunned, "He"? But she was quick to react.
The person in the car was an indelible nightmare, although she used to feel happy that she could be by his side.
Chu Fangxing thought for a moment, and finally decided: "Forget it, let him in." ”
The doorman received the order, so he opened the gate neatly, and the car, which had been waiting outside the door for a long time, was finally able to drive into the front yard of the welfare home.
During the time when the car was parked, Chu Fangxing did not wait for them in the same place, but after ordering the door to be opened, he turned around and went back and continued to sort things out with Ju Ruobai.
Seeing that she came back, her face was obviously a little more solemn, and she asked with some worry, "Dean, are you okay?" Your face seems to be a little ......."
Chu Fangxing shook her head, didn't say anything, and continued to clean up the sundries on the ground with her.
But no matter how you escape, you have already let him in, don't you have to face him sooner or later? Chu Fangxing heard footsteps behind her, and her heartbeat was about to miss a few beats.
"Hello?" Seeing this visitor, dressed in a black leather jacket with a thick black short beard on his chin, although he was controlling the expression of his face, his eyes would still unconsciously show a bit of fierce light, which made people feel afraid when they saw him, and they didn't dare to look at him too much, and just wanted to get as far away from him as possible. Of course, even so, Suruobai still has to show sincerity and politeness to greet this guest.
The man smiled and responded to her, a smile that showed the effort he had put into hiding his anger, but it looked like he had to work harder.
Everyone had already come here, and Chu Fangxing had no choice but to turn around and face the man.
"What are you doing here?" Chu Fangxing's tone towards him was lukewarm.
When he saw it, he suddenly felt bad in his heart - this man was not serious at first glance, and now the dean was not very affectionate to him, could it be that this was the person who came to the welfare home to find fault?
"Nothing, come and see you." The man was embarrassed by the question, so he could only reply so flatly.
"The boss of Mu Seqiao, who calls for wind and rain and commands the wind and clouds, there is absolutely no shortage of women around him, how can he be idle and have nothing to do, and he is willing to come to me for a yellow-faced woman to beg for fun."
"I've already said that those are all jokes on the table, and you're the only woman I've ever treated sincerely."
"Whether it's a joke or a truth, we're not husband and wife anymore, at least you and I should know that."
The man was scolded by her like this, and could only smile bitterly: "Yes......"
Chu Fangxing saw that he probably had nothing to say, and he didn't want to see him pitiful in the end, so he took the initiative to ask, "Is Jia Ran okay?" ”
"He is very good and very competitive, he was admitted to a foreign university, and he will come back from vacation soon."
"Hmph, how about reading well, as the son of a man in the underworld, he is destined to go down that road in the future."
Seeing that the conversation between them was still not hot, these two people were originally husband and wife, why did they meet like strangers now, and their attitude was so cold.
Chu Fangjing saw that Ju Ruobai was at a loss on the side, so she asked her to leave first, and after Ju Ruobai obediently left, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - the atmosphere just now was really suffocating, as if seeing the two parents arguing with each other, but they could only silently watch the child who didn't dare to interject on the side, weak and helpless.
Obviously, Chu Fangxing didn't want to see that person, and the Jia Ran in her mouth should be her son with that man.
Although Ju Ruobai had never asked about the dean's family situation before, she didn't expect the dean's family relationship to be so tense, but she didn't know what that man, the dean's ex-husband, was doing when he came to her.
When she came to the cafeteria, it was about to be time for the children to eat, and as usual, although she couldn't cook, she could at least help.
After the work in the cafeteria and the children have finished eating, it is time to send the children back to the dormitory and arrange for them to take a nap. After all this, it was now the turn of the adults to have lunch, and when she returned to the cafeteria, she finally saw the dean, who was sitting alone on a stool in the corner of the cafeteria.
Chu Fangxing should have just come back from outside, although only an hour had passed, but it could be seen from Chu Fangxing's face that this hour was extremely torturous for her.
When the surrounding aunts saw it, they all went up to tease Chu Fangxing, saying that her current appearance was like a young girl who had just been dumped by her boyfriend, depressed.
Chu Fangyun naturally didn't take it to heart when she faced this joke, after all, they were all old acquaintances for more than ten years. She also followed their jokes and laughed at herself:
"I'm so old, I'm no longer the girl I used to be, and I deserve to be dumped."
"Ouch, you're welcome, how can anyone boast that they are like flowers." (A certain aunt)
"Heh, I'm not bragging, the beauty of my youth is no worse than the current Ruobai."
As soon as the dean's words came out, the aunts all coaxed, and even the uncles who were eating silently on the side couldn't help but snicker, but they made Ju Ruobai who was mixed in the aunt's pile a little embarrassed.
But perhaps, Chu Fangxing is really not bragging, although the carving knife of the years has left traces on her face, but even so, her eyebrows and eyes still reveal the demeanor of the year, maybe she was indeed a beautiful woman with good facial features and a smile like a flower when she was young.
The dean didn't continue to make trouble with them, stood up and went to fetch food with them, and happened to be standing next to Ju Ruobai.
"Didn't scare you before, did you?" Chu Fangyun asked to Ju Ruobai.
"Huh?" Ju Ruobai was a little puzzled.
"My face should have been flat before, you should have seen me serious for the first time, and it didn't leave you any shadow, right?"
"No, no, the dean is a beauty even if he has a straight face, how can he scare people?"
"You girl, why are you kidding me like them? That's it, just like you're praising me. ”
After the two finished their meals, they simply sat down to eat together, and picked up on the previous conversation by the way.
"Dean, is that your ex-husband?"
"Well, yes. I guess you must be curious to know what happened between me and him, right? ”
"Well...... It may not be a good thing to inquire about other people's privacy......"
"Your curiosity is written on your face, just ask if you want to know, the relationship is just such a thing, love and hate, it's been more than ten years, it doesn't matter."
"Then Dean, can I ask why you divorced him?"
"Divorce...... Oh, you girl, ask the saddest thing when you ask......"
"Huh!? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that I didn't say! ”
"It doesn't matter, there will always be some sad things to go through in life. The reason for the divorce is also very simple, he has no feelings for me, and I don't need to deliberately please him, since we have drifted apart from each other, then simply separate. But don't worry, there are many women around him, and my old thing is gone, just in time for him to remarry a younger and more beautiful one, and it's too late for him to be happy. ”
"Is that so...... Then Dean, the Jia Ran you said before is it your ......?"
"Yes, it's me and his son, I left him a son, and I can be regarded as repaying him, I should, I don't owe him anything."
"Owe? Dean, what does this mean? ”
"It means that it was because he was kind to our family that I married him in order to repay the kindness. But I have been with him for so long, and I also left him a son, and the kindness that should be repaid should have been repaid, and then there is no need to fight to the death. ”
"Dean, did you marry him simply to repay your kindness? Have you ever really loved him......"
When Chu Fangxing heard this, she almost choked.
"Ruobai, Auntie is not the kind of person who has no principles, someone who doesn't like it, how could the dean be willing to marry him? If you want to talk about love, of course I still loved him. But you, do you think I'm trying to deceive his feelings? ”
Ju Ruobai was really embarrassed to be taught a little lesson by her, but after saying so many words, she hadn't eaten two bites of rice, Chu Fangxing told her to finish the meal first, otherwise it would be cold immediately, so they stopped discussing it for the time being.
But as soon as the meal was finished, Chu Fangxing immediately had something to deal with again, and after she put the tableware in the recycling place, she left in a hurry.
When Ju Ruobai saw her leaving, she began to think back, if that man really had no feelings for Chu Fangxing, why did the smile he showed when he looked at Chu Fangxing seem to feel more natural and brighter than the smile he showed to himself?
"Emotional matters are really complicated." She sighed to herself, hurriedly ate the little food left, and prepared to go back to correct the children's homework.
The afternoon passed quickly, during which she corrected her homework, sorted out her courseware, and cleaned the dormitory building.
Life here seems to be quite fulfilling, and although she doesn't have a mobile phone, she doesn't get bored because she always finds something to do, such as cleaning, such as repairing furniture.
Or sometimes, someone will come looking for her.
In the evening, he drove here again, today is the weekend, and he hopes to take him outside to play.
But before he saw Ju Ruobai, he was caught by Chu Fangxing and educated him severely.
Although this man has a lot of money and is also left and right in the business field, for some reason, he is completely lacking in the level of male and female affection.
"You guy, you actually let Ruobai wear such simple clothes to go to Tingjing Garden, they all say that it is a woman's nature to love beauty, even if Ruobai is a girl who is not so competitive, let her see everyone around her dressed brightly, dressed up with white teeth and red lips, but only her own gray face, if it were you, would you feel happy?"
"Huh!? Is that so? No wonder she doesn't seem to be happy. ”
"Hehe, still happy? It's good that people don't hate you in their hearts, if it were me, I would definitely think that you, the boy, deliberately wanted to make fun of me, a poor girl, so he took me to the place where the dignitaries and nobles gathered for a walk, just to let me be laughed at by them! ”
"No, Auntie! How could I possibly have such a mind! I'm me, I'm really like you! ”
"What??"
"No, no, no, I mean, I'm sincere, I want to be good to Ruobai, but it seems that I don't really know how to make girls happy."
Chu Fangxing sighed lightly, "In any case, when a man treats a woman, he must first make her feel that you are respecting her, and you are putting yourself in an equal position with the other party to associate with her, at least do this first, and then talk about how to make her happy." Otherwise, if you make her think that you are a high look, hehe, then everything else is a dream. ”
Go Yanfei nodded, indicating that he had understood, and this time he would definitely make her happy.
However, Chu Fangxing still didn't have much confidence in him, and he couldn't help but say a final word to him who ran to find him:
"Remember, respect for the other person in a relationship is the most important thing."
I don't know if I heard it, Chu Fangxing shook her head, and turned around to do her own thing.
Ju Ruobai was about to go to the kitchen to help, and on the way, she saw Yan Fei walking towards her with a spring breeze on his face, and she chuckled in her heart.
What is this man doing here?
went to Yanfei to say hello to Ju Ruobai, exchanged a few words, and said to her straight to the point that today is the weekend, and I hope to take her outside to play, otherwise it will be a little boring to stay in this remote welfare home.
Ju Ruobai just wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, suddenly a young man's voice came from beside them:
"How about going out and playing, how about taking me one?"
Both Yan Fei and Ji Ruobai looked at the source of the sound, and in between, a young man who had never seen them walked towards them.
"Who are you?" Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still asked calmly.
In the face of the vague questioning, the person who came did not change his face, and said with a slight smile: "My name is Qi Shiyi, and I am a new employee of the welfare institute, and like my predecessors, I will also work as a teacher here." ”
After that, he took the initiative to say hello to Ju Ruobai, and shook hands with Ju Ruobai in front of him.
Go to Yan Fei's eyelids jump slightly.
"Really?"
