Chapter 8: Pawn the Promise of Love
I chuckled disdainfully, and simply put down the chopsticks in my hand, lit a cigarette, and said, "I don't know if it's good or not, but I know my 'next', not so fast." ”
"I'm twenty-six years old this year, and it is said that the golden period for a man's career development is only the ten years between the ages of twenty and thirty, and now most of it has passed, and there are four years left, I still have to concentrate on my career first, otherwise, if it is still such a pool of stagnant water, wait until the next relationship begins, and then be 'green' again?"
I tilted my head and slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette, laughing self-deprecatingly and saying the words that had been held back in my heart for a long time.
Jiang Xue and Gao Hangfeng glanced at each other stunned, and then she sneered and said: "Yes, yes, Lao Xue is right, this man is indeed to focus on his career, but on the journey of fighting for his career, if there is a suitable beauty who is willing to spend two-way love with you, then you can also consider and consider, don't bury yourself in doing things." ”
Gao Hangfeng looked at Jiang Xue and joked: "Yo, how do I feel weird to hear your words, it seems to be hinting at something, right?" ”
What is rare is that this time Jiang Xue didn't care about what Gao Hangfeng said, just avoided the eyes of the two of us, although said indifferently: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, you are a 'pregnant woman farting'." ”
"What, what do you mean?"
"Childish!"
Jiang Xue glanced at us, grabbed chopsticks and poked the table, and said, "Don't ink, eat!" ”
……
After eating, we went back to our respective homes.
The deep blue sky gradually turned dark, and the stars in the night sky shimmered like the receding tide on the beach, and then the shells revealed on the beach.
After going up to the rental house, I stood on the edge of the narrow balcony, lit a cigarette and looked up at the stars again, but I remembered the "two-way love" that Jiang Xue talked about at dinner tonight.
I can't help but wonder in my heart: Is there really a so-called "two-way love" in this world? If so, what is it, or where is the specific definition?
In my opinion, this is the same as the probability of winning the lottery and winning the jackpot. Because human nature is like this, people will always see the unfairness at the first time, and ignore how much they have paid, and this is how contradictions and disputes come about.
When I woke up the next morning, I woke up early in the morning, and then in the innermost part of the drawer in my room, I found two delicate boxes.
Those two boxes contained rings that I had spent a lot of my savings to buy in advance, one box was an engagement ring, and the other box was a wedding ring, adding up to about 100,000 yuan.
Originally, Lin Shile and I were almost married, but I went to meet her parents, and the 380,000 bride price proposed by her family returned to Kyoto City afterwards.
Therefore, at that time, I thought about spending a little more money to buy engagement rings and wedding rings first, so that when the time comes, I can alleviate the bride price conditions they put forward in these places, as well as the investment of Ark Capital, if our company succeeds in winning it, once the company makes a profit, the 380,000 will not be too difficult.
However...... Everything has changed, it has become meaningless.
What's even more ridiculous is that in order to surprise Lin Shile with the rings of these two boxes, after I bought them, I didn't mention this matter to her, all of this was just my own wishful thinking.
After a short memory, I took two boxes and put them in the pockets of my clothes and went out.
After a simple breakfast of rice noodles downstairs, I headed to my destination. The first place to go, that is, the 4S shop, the car was repaired yesterday, not a major repair, but accidentally scratched the door, there was a scratch, and now it is also repaired by painting.
4S shop, after picking up the car.
I drove the car out to a relatively empty place outside, and then took a full range of photos of my car, and hung the information of the car on the platform of the second-hand car for sale, and also asked the people in the 4S store to help pay attention to it, if anyone wants to buy a second-hand car, you can contact me.
After the car was done, I drove the freshly repaired 10th generation Accord to a jewelry store that looked quite reliable.
When the saleswoman saw me come in, she walked up to me with a professional smile on her face and asked, "Good morning, sir, what jewelry would you like to buy?" ”
"Uh, no, I'm not here ......to buy jewelry," I turned and pointed to the billboard in front of the store, "I saw the billboard in front of your store, it says 'Recycle Gold and Silver Jewelry,' right?" I'm here to be the ring. ”
As I spoke, I walked into the front container, took two boxes out of my pocket, and placed them on the table.
The saleswoman glanced at the two boxes of rings on my desk, nodded and said, "Okay, please wait." Then she took the box and walked inside.
After waiting for about a few minutes, she finally came out, followed by a middle-aged man wearing glasses, with a big round belly, almost tearing out his gray suit.
"Your two boxes of rings, a total of four, the original market price is about 100,000 yuan, the recycling price is generally three to seven discounts, but for the sake of your rings are newly bought for less than two months, and they have not been worn, and the packaging is quite new, let's give you a 20% discount."
At this moment, my mind was full of the sweet past between Lin Shile and me, but I recalled the cold words she and Fang Chao said to me in the hotel and the trauma caused......
After a moment of silence, I gritted my teeth and nodded, "Yes, then this price." ”
The obese middle-aged man looked at me with a satisfied expression, touched his chin, nodded and asked, "Well, okay, that's a total of eighty-two thousand, do you want cash or transfer?" ”
"Let's transfer it."
"Okay, give me the account."
After a while, I received a message on my mobile phone that I had received 82,000 yuan, and the saleswoman standing in front of me looked at me with a curious expression and couldn't help asking, "Sir, these four rings are engagement rings and wedding rings, right?" If it weren't for the person who was going to get married, he wouldn't have bought the ring, sir, and just sold it? ”
I didn't mind her question, I smiled self-deprecatingly, and said abruptly: "Bread and love, love is lost, then I can only sell the ring for 'bread', life must go on, right?" ”
She opened her mouth, her expression becoming a little complicated, but she didn't respond to my words again, I took the two empty boxes on the table and put them in my pocket, and just turned and walked out of the jewelry store.
There is still a difference of 120,000 yuan, and when the car is also sold, it will be enough money to pay the employees those salaries that have been in arrears for two months, and my car is sold, and there are still hundreds of thousands, after all, it has not been long since I bought it, but at this time, for me, what is lacking is time.
The 200,000 bank card that Xue'er gave me, I naturally couldn't reject it in person, otherwise she wouldn't say anything, so I could only wait for the time to find a chance to return the card to her.
Walking out of the jewelry store, I glanced back and got in the car.
This morning, I hung my love car on the second-hand car platform, and at the same time sold my former "love promise".
After struggling in Kyoto City for several years, he was destitute in an instant. The first "overnight", lost love and company, and the later "overnight", lost the last property and had nothing.
Xue Jingfan, Xue Jingfan, what kind of life have you been living here, mixed up like this?!
