Chapter 16: A Thousand Reasons to Be Sad

"Haha, who am I, it turned out to be you!" Zhao Mingding was about to turn around and walk away, but was blocked by another person.

The person who came was Zhou Zijian, chairman of Ruyi Group, who claimed to be worth hundreds of millions, and the husband of Li Ruyu, his first love for seven years. After snatching Li Ruyu away at the class reunion last time, I didn't expect to see each other in a foreign country today.

Behind him, followed by Li Ruyu, who was wearing a dark green cheongsam, was still dignified, elegant, and out of the dust, like a hibiscus out of the water, which was unforgettable.

As the saying goes, when a fellow sees a fellow, his eyes are full of tears. However, looking at Zhao Mingding's dress, Zhou Zijian smiled on his face.

"Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time, I can't imagine seeing you here." Zhou Zijian turned a deaf ear to Zhao Mingding's outstretched right hand, "Why, I can't get along in the country, did I go to Myanmar to commit fraud?" As he spoke, he pulled Li Ruyu in front of him and hugged her waist, "Look at you, a former suitor, how far have you fallen now?" I'll just say, where will he have any future? ”

Zhao Mingding looked at Li Ruyu, only to see that she also raised her eyes, her eyes intersected, and she said a thousand words, but she didn't know where to start for a while, and only turned into two faint words: "Hello!" ”

"You are worth hundreds of millions, you must have earned it by gambling stones, right?" Zhao Mingding didn't care about Zhou Zijian's rude words and deeds at all, and was still smiling.

"Of course." Zhou Zijian said proudly, "No matter what business you do, you don't have to make money as fast as gambling stones." If you see it, if you go down, you will have a lot of money. How about it, looking at you like this, it seems that you also want to gamble on stones? Do you also want to go down with a knife and have a lot of money? Ha ha! ”

"How can I be as lucky as you, at a young age, I have a lot of money." Zhao Mingding smiled slightly, "If Ruyu follows you, then you will be blessed." ”

Although Zhao Mingding was light on the surface, his heart was dripping blood, and when he looked back at Li Ruyu again, his eyes were moist. Seven years of lovesickness went down the drain. Is money the only criterion for testing love?

"If Ruyu follows me, then you will definitely be blessed, and you don't need to worry about it. You should worry about yourself, and see where there is a young widow to find one and complete her life's work. Zhou Zijian became more and more energetic the more he spoke, and finally laughed proudly.

"What's wrong, fellow?" Ye Qing walked over from the side with Gan Ruyu and asked Zhao Mingding. In fact, the dialogue and behavior between Zhou Zijian and Zhao Mingding, she and Gan Ruyu have long been on the side to see and hear clearly, and they also know the relationship between him and Li Ruyu.

"Oh, this is my alumnus Zhou Zijian, the chairman of the Ruyi Group, who is worth hundreds of millions. This is my classmate Li Ruyu. Zhao Mingding introduced, "These two are my friends in Myanmar, Gan Ruyan and Ye Qing. ”

Li Ruyu politely stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gan Ruyu and Ye Qing respectively, while Zhou Zijian snorted disdainfully, his face full of arrogance.

"Mr. Zhao, is this your friend?" Karl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt, as well as Andrew Collier and Jimmy Einhorn, who are China experts, also walked over and asked. They also saw the clues. The world is cold and cold, not only Chinese understand, but also people around the world understand and empathize.

"Oh yes, this is my friend Mr. Chow Zi Kin and his wife, Ms. Li Ruyu. They are also my alumni and classmates. Zhao Mingding introduced, "This is Mr. Carl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt, Vice Consul of the Consulate of Country D in Guangzhou, Mr. Andrew Collier, Vice Consul of the Consulate of Country A in Guangzhou, and Mr. Jimmy Einhorn, a businessman of Country A. They are all my bosses and I serve them. ”

"I'll just say, he's just a part-time worker." As he spoke, Zhou shook hands with Carl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt, as well as Andrew Collier and Jimmy Einhorn.

After the three of them shook hands with Zhou Zijian, they shook hands with Li Ruyu again, and smiled at Zhao Mingding: "Since you are friends, alumni and classmates, today you meet by chance in a foreign country, should you be the east and invite everyone to have a meal?" ”

Before Zhao Mingding could speak, Ye Qing had already arranged it first: "Mr. Zhao is clumsy, let's help him entertain the guests." ”

Gan Ruyi instructed a young man next to him: "Drive a few better cars." ”

Zhou Zijian is not interested in Zhao Mingding, but he is very interested in Karl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt, Andrew Collier and Jimmy Einhorn.

After a while, three black Rolls-Royce Phantoms came, and Ye Qing asked everyone to get into the car, and said with a smile to Zhou Zijian: "This car is rented, please don't laugh." ”

"Oh, I said." When Zhou Zijian heard Ye Qing say that the car was rented, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he made sarcasm at Li Ruyu Zhao Mingding, "A poor worker, he will die to save face and suffer crimes." I thought it was his Rolls-Royce, but it was rented. In his life, if he can afford to buy a Rolls-Royce wheel, I will lose. ”

If it weren't for the relationship with those three foreigners, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Mingding. I think at the beginning, because he has a net worth of hundreds of millions, he can defeat Zhao Mingding and return to the beauty.

If he was poorer than Zhao Mingding at the beginning, would it be possible to get Li Ruyu? The answer is yes, it's wishful thinking.

So, in this world, he puts wealth first.

The car went all the way, and soon came to the Lingxin Garden, the scenery inside made him sigh, and roughly estimated that with his own financial resources, unless he flew a windfall in this life, he would not want to live in such a manor.

After getting out of the car, Ye Qing took Gan Ruyu to hang out in the manor, while Zhao Mingding took Zhou Zijian, Carl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt, Andrew Collier and Jimmy Einhorn to play golf together. This golf course is one of the largest golf balls in the world, with a length of 7,609 meters and a standard stroke of 77.

"Hey, when did you ever work as a caddie on a golf course?" Zhou Zijian saw that Zhao Mingding's golf swing was standard and skillful, and he couldn't help but start teasing again, as if he didn't step on Zhao Mingding a few more times, he felt uncomfortable.

"I just had the pleasure of working as a caddie on a golf course this year, and the skills are still not in place, which makes you laugh." Zhao Mingding was not annoyed at all, he was still light and light. Although he owns this estate and owns this golf course, he is very busy and has no time to practice his golf skills, everything is improvised.

After about an hour of golf, dinner was ready, and everyone went back to dinner.

This dinner is a buffet, and its richness is no less than the buffet when Gan Shuangguan welcomed Zhao Mingding.

Ye Qing learned about the relationship between Zhao Mingding and Li Ruyu, so he discussed with Gan Ruyu, and the result of the discussion was hospitality, because, in this life and this life, Zhao Mingding may be the first and last time to have such an opportunity to entertain Li Ruyu, so they don't want Zhao Mingding to have regrets in their hearts.

Facing the guests, he raised his wine glass, and he was supposed to give a welcome speech, but Zhao Mingding was silent, and what flashed in his eyes was the scene of seeing Li Ruyu at the class reunion:

After three cups, Zhang Bao looked around, and asked with his face towards the female classmate's table: "Zhao Mingding, is your dream lover Li Ruyu here?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed "coaxing", Zhao Mingding only felt that his blood was surging, and his face became hot.

Something unexpected happened, and everyone recited it loudly like an endorsement:

I love you, the goddess of my heart

I love your dignified, beautiful face

I love the way you look

I love your purity and kindness even more

The blood of youth flows in the bottom of my heart

My love for you has been dry and rotten for a long time

After backing, everyone laughed "haha", some clapped their hands, some stomped their feet, some slapped the table, some knocked on the bowl, and a few female classmates even laughed so much that tears came out, bending over and covering their stomachs and shouting "ouch".

The uproar in Yipinge was like the classroom of the year.

"Yo, I can't imagine that after many years of graduation, there are still people who are worried about me!" Li Ruyu stood up from her seat generously, wearing a dark green cheongsam, and her demeanor was myriad. Not only did she not look old because of the passage of time, but she was more beautiful and moving than back then, retreating from her youth, and appeared very mature, just like a blooming green herding pill, verdant and intoxicating.

…………

"Since you are very good at writing poetry, this time you will be asked to write a poem in seven steps. Each step should only take a minute at most, so you're actually required to write a poem in seven minutes. This poem must contain these eight words: I love like jade, this love is unswerving! ”

Before she could finish speaking, two red clouds immediately flew up her face, revealing a shy smile.

…………

"I'm Honda Shero" Zhao Mingding read the first sentence, and at the same time took the first step, and the girl holding his arm also hurriedly followed suit.

Hearing Zhao Mingding read the first sentence, in an instant, everyone fell silent, and even the sound of dust falling could be heard.

"Aimengsi Huangliang" Zhao Mingding read the second sentence and took the second step.

The next few sentences almost came out naturally, and it only took Zhao Mingding six steps in total.

The whole poem is as follows, although it is a bit far-fetched, but after all, all the prescribed words are written:

I'm Serro Honda,

Ammons Sorghum.

Now to the heavenly court,

Jade steps to find gorgeous clothes.

Here in the wind and moon field,

It's hard to be emotional,

I don't know my sweetheart,

Which is the Chongqing contract?

The poem consists of eight lines, and the first word of each sentence is strung together, which is: I love like jade, and this love is unswerving.

…………

Zhao Mingding led Li Ruyu to the bar on the second floor and found a remote corner to sit down. Tonight, everyone went to KTV to play, there was a huge bar, only Zhao Mingding and Li Ruyu, the lights were shining, the sound of the piano was resentful, and it was like crying and complaining, which made people even more melancholy.

"How have you been doing all these years?" Zhao Mingding took the wine glass from the waiter's hand and personally drank a glass of 82-year-old Lafite for Li Ruyu. Since he didn't have to pay for it himself, and he also paid the charter fee, Zhao Mingding tried to order a bottle of 82-year-old Lafite, but he didn't expect that there was also a restaurant in this small Taihe county.

What kind of state is it to be the poorest man, wear the oldest clothes, drink the most expensive red wine, and coax the most beautiful woman?

"Not good!" Li Ruyu took a sip of wine lightly, frowned, and asked with a chuckle, "After all these years, have you missed me?" ”

"Is there a difference between wanting and not wanting to?" Zhao Mingding said with a smile.

"Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud." Li Ruyu's eyes flowed, looking forward to the brilliance, her lips opened lightly, and her exhalation was like an orchid. When Zhao Mingding heard this, his hand shook, and the wine glass fell to the ground and shattered.

"So, I still have a chance?" Zhao Mingding found that his voice was a little trembling.

"You're thinking too much!" Li Ruyu smiled slightly, "You are pure wishful thinking and unrequited love." I am willing to sit here and drink with you today, just to hope that you can sober up, let you die that heart, stop having any illusions, see that there is a suitable girl, and get married as soon as possible. ”

"You...... You lied to me? Zhao Mingding didn't seem to believe his ears, "You...... If you are ruthless, why ...... Why did I recite the poem in front of the class? ”

"What girl in the world doesn't like to listen to other people's words of admiration? You, Bai has been out for so many years, and you still seem to be a hairy young man who doesn't understand the world. Li Ruyu took a new cup, drank a new glass of wine for Zhao Mingding, and said with a smile, "After this glass of wine, we will never see each other again from now on!" ”

"I ...... I don't! Zhao Mingding felt that he had a hard time speaking, "If you are well, then you are ...... It's a sunny day! ”

"It's impossible for us, understand?" Li Ruyu asked softly, "Do you know me?" ”

…………

"I just said that this kid can't make the climate, now believe it, right?" A mocking voice came from the door of the bar, and I saw a slender and handsome young man walking slowly with a wine glass.

"Is that you?" As soon as Zhao Mingding saw the visitor, his anger surged, his eyes breathed fire, his fists clenched, and he couldn't wait to smash his handsome face into a pig's head.

The person who came was the boy who smeared himself for cheating in the last exam of the college entrance examination that year, thus depriving himself of the opportunity to go to college. Zhao Mingding has been looking for him, and he sincerely wants to meet here today.

"It's me!" The person who came smiled slightly and said, "Don't come to the lamb? ”

"Why did you defile me back then?" Zhao Mingding rattled his teeth with hatred.

"Just to get a fair chance to compete." The visitor smiled slightly, "You didn't go to college, and I didn't go to college." You go out to work, and I go out to work. By my own efforts, I am now worth hundreds of millions, but what about you? If Ruyu follows you, what kind of life can she live? Wouldn't you just say a few limericks to make the little girl happy? You're nothing, just eat soft rice, and you even have to be paid for tonight by someone else! Shameful? If I were you, I'd kill myself with a piece of tofu! After that, he took Li Ruyu's hand, walked away, and turned around when he went out, "Zhou Zijian, chairman of Ruyi Group." ”

Strings of tears slipped down Li Ruyu's face, like bullets, hitting Zhao Mingding's heart, and blood flowed.

In the past, I went back, and the willows followed; Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling.
