Chapter 494 Keep the Sadness to Yourself
The class reunion is not a big deal, it's just about showing off, catching up on old times, building relationships, arousing the friendship between classmates after five years, and connecting each other's life after the class reunion, just like what Chen Xiaozheng said before, helping each other.
Classmates, the natural relationship is close. In fact, we have been in contact with each other before, but it was only on a small scale. After all, there are so many classmates, and it is impossible to have a good relationship with everyone. Now that we have gathered together, we know how other people we don’t know well and don’t often communicate with are doing, from this unit, that company, this group, that company, so it’s not a waste of time. We will help each other in the future.
This is just a matter of their 94th grade class. There are 93rd graders at the top and 95th graders at the bottom. They are all from the same school. If you ask for help, you can always find a door. This is the advantage of a good university. Those who are capable The ratio of people is higher.
After the class reunion, everyone said goodbye at the door and agreed to meet again the next day. People who drink too much are in the minority, but people who drink too much are also the majority. After working together for five years, making fun of each other is the most basic skill.
If you really drink too much, you might just open one.
He didn't grin like a fool, but laughed heartily: "Old Wang, don't drive when you're drinking. If not, I'll find you a driver. And how did you get these beauties here? Do you want me?" Call a car to take you back?"
Zheng Wei waved her hand: "No need, Ruan Guan drove us here and has already found a substitute driver."
Wang Yan also shook his head: "I can just take a taxi myself. You should be careful when you drink so much. Let's go." He walked away, waved to the others, called a taxi on the roadside and left.
Ruan Guan and others also said hello to them, got in the car and left when they arrived at the parking lot.
After watching them walk away and dealing with a bunch of people, Zhang Zhang finally felt at ease, lit a cigarette and took a long drag, then leaned against the wall weakly: "Do you understand?"
Chen Xiaozheng also took a cigarette and lit it: "I see, you have a good drinking capacity now."
"That's what I'm saying, I've always had a good drinking capacity." Zhang Zhang was about to brag, but after he realized what he was saying, he shook his head and said, "Why are you trying to change the subject with me? Is that what I'm asking?"
"Then what else can I understand? It's not like you don't know that I have never had any communication with Zheng Wei before, and she has never taken me seriously. It's too early to say that now."
"Pretending to be stupid? Look at their outfits. Although they look simple, nothing is cheap. And the bags they own are even more expensive. Look at what they said, Ruan Guan opens a teahouse, Zheng Wei As a junior leader, Li Weijuan is a clerk, and Zhu Xiaobei is still studying in the school. When they were in college, everyone knew everything. None of them were rich, but you were just a well-off family. Look at what they have now. What kind of salary can they afford?
Especially Ruan Guan, no matter how well Huangguoshu develops tourism, their family can only benefit from the tourist attractions, how can they make a fortune? How could she afford a car? How did you open a teahouse on Yihe Road? No matter how powerful she is, she still wants the first pot of gold. Where does that gold come from? One can demolish their home, and two can buy lottery tickets and become rich, but the four of them can't all be that rich, right? There must be something going on here. "
Chen Xiaozheng was silent for a long time: "Now we have contact again. As long as you are willing, you can always know why." In this case, there is usually only one explanation, and that is that he was kept. But he especially didn't like the fact that this was really the case, because it really destroyed the Bai Yueguang in his youthful imagination.
"You just brought it upon yourself." Zhang Zhang blew out the smoke and patted his arm with a smile: "You said that Zeng Yu followed you so wholeheartedly for seven years, but in the end you used others' help to go abroad, and then turned against you. Recognize him. Besides, you haven’t finished using him. Zeng Yu’s father was the dean at the time and is now the vice president. If you become his son-in-law, it will be completely different from what he is now. Why bother to be a bad guy? Well, you have earned the reputation of being ungrateful and a scumbag..."
"If you say that, then I am indeed ungrateful. I really have no feelings for Zeng Yu, and now I have realized my original idea and fulfilled my mother's wish. Although I don't have as much money as you, I still don't need it. As long as I do things step by step, I'll be satisfied. In this case, there's no need for me to force myself to be with someone I don't love."
"Contented?" Zhang Zhang glanced sideways and laughed: "When you really have enough money, you won't be content. How can people be truly content? It's just that at a certain time, the understanding of oneself It’s already very clear. You know what you can get, and you know what you can’t get. Now that you are content, do you really think about it? Let’s go.”
He lightly punched Chen Xiaozheng in the chest, turned around and hummed a tune, then swayed away with the help of the driver who came over.
Chen Xiaozheng lit another cigarette, just like Zhang Zhang before, leaning against the wall weakly, watching Zhang Zhang walk away, then looking up at the black sky...
To say that the group breaks up does not necessarily mean that the group has broken up. It may also mean that they have agreed to get together again in another place.
Wang Yan didn't go far by taxi when he stopped in front of a wonton stew shop. He took out his mobile phone and made a call. He went in and ordered five bowls of wonton stew. He waited at the table in the back with a cigarette in his mouth.
After a while, wonton stew was served on the table. At this time, a car parked outside the door, and four gorgeous women with different styles got out and walked into the wonton stew shop.
It was already a little late now. Wang Yan was the only one at the table in the store, and the other two living people were the boss and his wife. When they saw the four women coming in together, they stared straight in the face and were pinched a lot.
"You are such a pig." Zheng Wei said while sitting at the table: "You didn't eat or drink less just now, but now you're eating wonton stew again."
"It's a blessing to be able to eat. I'm blessed to have you four beauties accompanying me."
"A man's mouth is a liar. Doesn't this mean he has taken out the lady?" Li Weijuan smiled and flipped the wonton stew with a spoon: "It smells quite fragrant. Eat it quickly. I finally understand. This is a party, so don’t eat or drink. Aren’t you hungry? Lao Wang, we hugged Lao Zhang before, weren’t you jealous?”
"We are an old married couple, how can I be so petty?" Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Then before, Zheng Wei was still hugging Zhang Kaiyang and Xu Kaiyang. Besides, you are showing off your flowers every day, and you can smell the fragrance even ten miles apart. Feng, who is not pursuing me? If I were so small-minded, you would have already started dividing the inheritance."
Ruan Guan shook his head and smiled: "It depends on what you said."
Zhu Xiaobei asked: "Are you really not going for a while? The children have been clamoring for you for a long time."
"Spare me. I really can't stand a bunch of children. You can fool them. Wait until I get back and cultivate the father-son relationship with them separately."
"Be virtuous." Zheng Wei curled his lips and muttered.
We are so familiar now that we are so familiar with each other. Among those here, Ruan Guan has been with us for seven years at the longest, and Zhu Xiaobei has been with him for the shortest at four years. It has been ten years since we got to know each other together. There is really nothing wrong with an old married couple.
If it weren't for the large number of people and Wang Yan's incompetence, he wouldn't be able to spend a few days with her every month. Even just one woman would have started to suffer from the so-called ten-year itch. Of course, it was Wang who was itchy...
There were also so many people that it was impossible to stop eating. Under the guidance of Li Weijuan, who was the most talkative, she chattered about her views on the classmates who had gathered earlier. The complaints are not forced, the sighs are really cool, the whole thing is 'look at that person, he used to do so many things, but now he stands up, I really didn't expect it'.
After the meal, Wang Yan said goodbye to the four girls and took a taxi to Shi Jie's place. The eldest son was still waiting for him to tell a story...
"Qingyun Tea House..."
On the afternoon of the third day after the class reunion, Zhang Kai stood in a square near Yihe Road, looking up at the plaque on the two-story building in front of him, and murmuring the freehand and freehand writing on it. Looking at that word and the surrounding reinforced concrete buildings, he couldn't help but shake his head, almost feeling it.
After walking in, he was taken to a partitioned room by the window on the second floor. He ordered a pot of Biluochun and a platter of pastries. He looked at the tea master who was skillfully playing with tea sets and making tea: "I am your The boss’s friend, is she here?”
"Not here." The tea master replied: "I went to accompany my children to class. I will be back in a while. Almost every day at this time, the boss will bring his children over to eat some pastries."
Zhang Zhang was stunned, he frowned and said, "You said she has a child?"
"You're over three years old? Aren't you the boss's friend?"
"We haven't contacted each other for many years. We had a class reunion two days ago and found out that she owns this teahouse, so I just had time to come over today. I thought I'd see how it goes first and invite people over for tea in the future, so I can take care of my old classmates. Business. So your boss is married? But I remember asking her at the class reunion, when did she have another child? "
The tea master smiled politely: "Boss, I'm just a part-time worker, and I haven't been here for long. I don't know what you're talking about."
The fact is that fact, and the situation is that situation. The few words she said before were considered a serious answer to the boss's situation. No matter how much she said, it would be a mistake on her part.
Of course Zhang Zhang understood the matter, he said: "Then when your boss comes back, ask her to come over and talk. My name is Zhang Zhang."
"Okay." The tea master nodded. Now that he had finished his work, he pushed a cup of tea in front of Zhang Zhang and said, "Please use it slowly."
Zhang Zhang drank tea in silence and ate pastries one bite at a time. This pastry does taste as good as Ruan Guan said, and the tea is not deceptive. It is all made from real ingredients, which is a rare bargain. But of course he had no intention of enjoying tea or delicious food. He really didn't know where the child came from, and what struck him deep in his heart was the beautiful figure in a white dress with long hair and a smiling face in the hot early autumn many years ago...
"Lao Zhang? What are you thinking about?"
He didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, but his eyes blurred. He heard a familiar voice again. He came back to his senses and focused on the familiar yet unfamiliar face: "Your tea is delicious and your pastries are even more delicious. Isn't this just... Are you invested?"
As he spoke, he turned his eyes and saw a little boy standing behind Ruan Wan, blinking at him with big eyes. After taking a closer look at the child's appearance, it gradually overlapped with the child who was being held by someone by chance.
"He is, he is...he..." He opened his hand and pointed at the child. He was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He just kept talking about it, staring at Ruan Guan in disbelief.
"Recognize it?" Ruan Guan slapped away the trembling hand pointing at his son, because the way it was opened at the moment was incredibly ferocious, which frightened the child a little.
She held the child in her arms and comforted her: "It's okay, son, don't be afraid, uncle is just so happy to see you."
Seeing the child staring at me, he opened his hands awkwardly and retracted his hands. He took two deep breaths in succession to calm down his emotions. He grinned and nodded: "Yes, uncle is just too happy to see you. We have met, Do you remember? You were riding on your father's neck, and your uncle greeted you. "
The little boy was only over three years old, so he couldn't remember much of it. However, he was quite polite and didn't say whether he remembered it or not. He just said in a babyish voice: "Hello, uncle, I am a prince."
"Hey, hello, hello. My surname is Zhang. From now on, I can just call you Uncle Zhang." The uncle's cry made his heart drop. He opened his mouth and tried his best to keep his silly smile, because it would appear friendly.
Knowing that the news was really exciting, Ruan Guan touched his son's little head and said, "Go to Sister Xiaoli and ask her to get you some pastries. But first, make sure you don't eat too much."
"I know." The little one responded, got up and ran: "Sister Xiaoli, sister Xiaoli..."
"This kid is very frizzy." Ruan Guan shook his head helplessly.
As the saying goes, it takes three years to learn well and three days to learn bad. Originally, her son was a good person, very honest and not naughty, but whenever he got together with his younger brothers and played wildly for two days, he couldn't hold it in anymore.
"This kid is quite cute."
"No way, it's too ugly."
"I remember last time Lao Wang told me that he was more than three years old, right?" Zhang Zhang counted the time in his heart and said hesitantly: "Did you start when you graduated?"
"It was earlier than that. It was during my sophomore year. Didn't I ask you to call him for me once in the first semester of my sophomore year? At that time..." Ruan Guan smiled and explained to Zhang Zhang, and talked about that year. story.
When she was downstairs before, she heard someone tell her classmate Zhang Kai to come to her, so she asked and kept talking. Knowing that the tea master had told her about having a son, she stopped hiding it. Moreover, after Wang Yan took his children out for a walk and bumped into Zhang Zhang, he also told her about this when he came back. She asked what she would do if she found out one day. Wang Yan said that there was no need to hide it, so she didn't hide it.
She knew that if Zhang Zhang found out about her son, she would definitely still ask questions. There would always be loopholes if she told too many lies, so it was better to tell her directly. Moreover, Zhang Zhang was messing with her Lao Wang. Of course, it was impossible to spread it everywhere. If you know it, you will know it.
After listening to Ruan Guan's explanation, Zhang Zhang sighed: "Let Lao Wang take the lead, this kid is really a thief. I said that after the news of your breakup spread, so many people were pursuing you, why didn't you show any signs at all? , It’s just time to graduate.”
"Just like how unexpected Zeng Yu and Xu Kaiyang came together, I didn't expect that I would be together with Lao Wang. After so many years, the child is over three years old. Time flies so fast..." Ruan Wan He shook his head and smiled: "I was still thinking about immortal youth, but now I don't feel it at all. Time really makes me grow old."
"You have a son. Immortality of youth lies in the next generation." He added with a smile. He ate pastries and drank tea, nodding repeatedly: "You are indeed good at what you do. When I have friends to talk to in the future, I brought it here to cheer you up. Let me tell you, everything is good here, but the place is not good. The words on the plaque outside are written by Lao Wang, right? It is a bit incompatible with the surrounding environment, but it is better at Confucius Temple. "
"It's indeed better over there. I also have a store there. But I live nearby and I don't go to the store over there very often." Ruan Guan said very casually, aren't there just two stores? Nothing surprising.
It feels normal to open his mouth. After all, if Lao Wang has money, where is this? He still couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that I would get together with Lao Wang... Have you lived a good life these years?"
"It's okay. You don't know him yet. He just has a special ability that makes people feel natural and comfortable being with him. Over the years, it hasn't changed at all. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Just take care of the kids every day and it’ll be fine.”
Just as Zhang Zhang was about to speak, the cell phone on the table rang. He glanced at it and put it to his ear to answer it. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, this happened suddenly." It’s okay, I have to go back and come over for tea another day. Oh, by the way, give me some pastries to take home, they taste really good.”
"It's Lao Wang's secret recipe. It's said to be a palace pastry in the past." Ruan Guan stood up with a smile: "Okay, you are so busy, I won't keep you. Come over when you have time. Leave your wallet behind and return it to us. Why are you so polite?"
He smiled widely, picked up the exquisite handbag he had packed, and found the little one dangling his legs in the corner eating something. He rubbed his head and said, "Uncle is gone. I will bring you toys next time."
"Thank you uncle, goodbye uncle."
Zhang Kai waved to Ruan Guan: "Okay, okay, no need to send him off, let's go."
Ruan Guan stood in front of the window upstairs, watching Zhang Zhang walk not far away with a cigarette in his mouth and get into the car. After a while, the car started to ignite and drove away. She then shook her head and smiled, then turned to look at the little one eating happily not far away: "Why are you still eating? Did you eat more secretly?"
"No, Mom, I didn't eat much."
"Huh?" Ruan Guan said with a straight face.
The little one couldn't help but be frightened. He stretched out two fingers and said cautiously: "I just ate an extra red bean cake and a cloud cake..."
"Isn't that right? Those who lie are not good children. You should learn this from your father. Your father never lies. Also, your father always keeps his word, unlike you, who said he would not eat more but ended up eating two more pieces."
"I have always been learning from my father."
"You can't learn everything, silly son." Ruan Guan stretched out her hand and called: "Come here, mom will take you to wash your face and hands."
"Mom, that uncle just seemed a little unhappy."
"How did you tell?"
"I just felt that he was unhappy, right?"
"Yes, adults are just like children, and they all get unhappy sometimes."
"Then why is dad not like that?"
... "Dad just hid his unhappiness. Dad has a lot of responsibilities. Okay, stop asking questions. That's not something you, a child, should care about. Come on, stretch out your hand."
Zhang Kai drove back to the company with complicated thoughts. In his office, under the large glass window, he sat there staring blankly at the large construction site in the distance that looked the same every day.
The previous phone call was not a big deal. He just needed to leave and calm down by himself.
Ruan Guan, the protagonist he played, and Wang Yan have been together for eight years and have a three-year-old son. He feels uncomfortable just thinking about it, and the key is that no one has told him. Especially the way they are together is quite special.
He is not stupid. If he were stupid, he would not be able to be his president Zhang steadily now. Wang Yan is of course a good person, and of course he is willing to give plot characters like Zhang Kai opportunities, but if he is really a hopeless case, he will not be a great good man.
In recent years, Zhang Kai has been well-informed and has seen many bad things. Like Wang Yan and Ruan Guan, they have not received any marriage news before, and they have quietly created a three-year-old child, so they are not married. And why not get married, of course, there is only support. After all, he has met Shi Jie before, and he has occasionally asked Wang Yan over the years, and the answer he got was that they are still together.
If Wang Yan gets married, he should invite him if he doesn't invite others. But now there is no movement, which means that Shi Jie should be in the same situation as Ruan Guan.
He knew Wang Yan was attractive, otherwise why would he be so devoted and hardworking? He was generous and gave more money, but there were many other aspects that made people admire and believe him. When it comes to women, Wang Yan also has an incomparable attraction.
He believed that Ruan Guan didn't have to lie to him. He believed that Ruan Guan, a waiter, or maybe a mistress, was really good to follow Wang Yan. But what he couldn't figure out was why Ruan Guan was willing to follow him without a name or status. He knew that Ruan Guan didn't value money. No matter how much money Wang Yan had, it was useless. How could he fool Ruan Guan into getting it?
His heart was extremely complicated. He was angry and ashamed of Wang Yan, and he hated Ruan Guan for making such a choice. He was also extremely uncomfortable that the one he loved was harmed by others, and there were other things. Anyway, he felt mixed emotions and was in pain.
But what could he do? Not to mention that he was brought to where he is today by Wang Yan, he was a benefactor. In addition, Ruan Guan was not forced by Wang Yan's power, and he was really devoted. He could only keep his sadness to himself and couldn't tell anyone. He even didn't dare to drink, fearing that he would scold Wang Yan if he drank too much, which was not good.
He was willing to be a supporting role. As long as Ruan Guan was happy, he would be very happy. But today, he knew the truth and couldn't accept it.
The most important thing is that he has achieved what he has today and has some confidence. He doesn't want to be a supporting role anymore. The sad thing is that his confidence now is given to him by Wang Yan.
And he can't say anything to Wang Yan, accuse him, or scold him, because Wang Yan is also innocent, and Wang Yan doesn't know what he thinks of Ruan Guan.
He just condemned Wang Yan morally, and there is nothing else to say. After all, he has seen a lot of people. If they really had Wang Yan's wealth and status, they would play much more cruelly.
He sighed and digested the mixed feelings in his heart...
Ruan Guan lay in someone's arms and told Lao Zhang what happened before. She said, "I told Lao Zhang about it. Is it okay?"
"I told you before that this matter is entirely up to you. It doesn't matter who you tell it to. You know, I have always been shameless. Whatever happens, it's fine. After all, if our relationship is made public, it will cause you the greatest harm. As long as you can stand it, let alone just telling Zhang Kai, even if it's published in the newspaper tomorrow, I will absolutely support it."
"Go, you are shameless, but I still want it. Although you have lost your face a long time ago, but others don't know, at least you still have a little bit of dignity."
Wang Yan stroked her face: "I wronged you."
"It's also my wish. Otherwise, do you think I came from Shanghai? Come back, just follow you like that?" Ruan Guan sighed: "Lao Zhang should feel bad now... Actually I know he likes me."
"How do you know?"
"You don't seem surprised?"
"You are so beautiful, I won't be surprised if anyone likes you, tell me."
Ruan Guan shook his head and said: "He sent me flowers for a year. At the beginning, the clerk who sent flowers said to keep it confidential, but he sent flowers for a year in a row, so he should tell me. It's a coincidence. I know that the next week, Zhao Shiyong's incident happened. At that time, I refused verbally and never sent flowers again. I think... Zhang Kai should also know that I know, and the clerk who sent flowers should have told him. Now he must know, I will tell you this..."
"Are you afraid of embarrassment? "
"It's really embarrassing."
Wang Yan smiled and said, "It's okay. We are all adults. There are many embarrassing things. This is nothing. He is a delicate person and won't tell me these things. He promises that it will be the same as before. Moreover, he will definitely take care of the teahouse's business. If you are not embarrassed, then no one will be embarrassed. If you really can't get over it, go to the teahouse less in the future."
"No, why don't you feel anything at all?"
"Jealous? I'm not bragging. If I don't have this little confidence, what am I doing?" Wang Yan hugged her and shook her: "I don't have the feeling you said, but now I feel it."
Ruan Guan's eyes were slanted, and her humming turned into a happy song in an instant...
Just as Wang Yan said, Zhang Kai was like nothing happened, and he went to Wang Yan for a meal every few days. In fact, there was no other meaning, just that I know you know, you know I know, and I didn't say a word, and the food was good. After that, he went to Qingyun Teahouse every three or five days to support the business, but he didn't go to Yihe Road, but to Confucius Temple.
It is true that the feeling over there is sufficient, and it is indeed for Ruan Guan's sake, avoiding embarrassment for everyone, which is good.
Youth always has regrets, even if this regret is too regrettable, but there is only one way to accept it, Zhang Kai is a reasonable person.
Chen Xiaozheng does not know about Zhang Kai's situation here, and of course Zhang Kai will not tell him.
Chen Xiaozheng is also like Zhang Kai, trying to get closer to his youth, but unlike Zhang Kai who has a good relationship with Ruan Guan, he still needs to understand more...
