"We're here!" The car stopped and I looked outside through the car window. It was a fairly large hotel. I once invited Xuanji to dinner and this is where I came to discuss matters between Rongji and Xinrui. I asked subconsciously. Chu Jin: "Does Yuan Sheng cooperate with Rong Ji now?"
Even if the mystery is not disclosed to the public, within Yuan Sheng, Liang Sheng will not hide it from Chu Jin. Chu Jin nodded hesitantly: "Yes, it is the contract signed a few days ago."
"Liang Sheng went to sign it." I got out of the car, slammed the car door hard, and spoke in a cold and gentle tone.
"Yes." After Chu Jin finished his answer, he seemed to have deliberately left the topic aside. He introduced to my dad: "Uncle, the food in this hotel is very delicious, especially the roast duck. It is one of a kind. I heard it can rival **J Roast duck, let’s try it later!”
My father is dissatisfied with Liang Sheng and also dissatisfied with Chu Jin because he is Chu Xin’s son. However, seeing that Chu Jin has done a lot of hard work, he often visits me and actively takes me out to clean up the dust, so No matter what, we couldn't hit the smiling person. After a few words of agreement, a group of us walked into the hotel.
We reserved a seat by the window. At this time, the tables were almost full. Fortunately, Chu Jin had already reserved a seat when he went out. The restaurant is very bright, and the crystal lanterns make the entire restaurant look like a fairy tale. World, most of the people here are well-dressed, men are like gentlemen, women are like princesses, but even among so many people, I can still see that outstanding man at a glance, even though he is wearing the same clothes as everyone else, Sitting in an inconspicuous corner.
Liang Sheng, this name appeared in my mind again. For a moment, I felt that this name was so unfamiliar. Liang Sheng's eyes calmly cast over, and when he saw me, he paused slightly. I had already lost a lot of weight. Well, he looked embarrassed and dull. During the half month in prison, I could feel that I had become neither human nor ghost, but Liang Sheng was still Liang Sheng, as calm, fearless, and charming as when we first met him. , sitting opposite him were two foreigners, probably customers.
There was a hint of hatred in my heart, so I looked away and continued walking towards Chu Jin's position as if I hadn't seen him. On the contrary, Chu Jin was extremely embarrassed. He greeted Liang Sheng with a grin on his face, while Xuanxuan pinched her angrily. After killing him, I think the friendship between Xuanxuan and Liang Sheng has also come to an end. Xuanxuan always protects me.
My dad's face was dark and ugly. When he saw Liang Sheng, he snorted clearly, with anger. I held my dad's hand and sat down. Liang Sheng was on the back side on our left. table.
Liang Sheng and I have been to many restaurants, and he took me to eat a lot of delicious food. We have never sat so strangely far away from each other, busy in our own ways. I can vaguely hear him talking in fluent English. The relaxed tone, through the elegant piano sound and other noises, hit my eardrums directly.
The food came quickly, and the four of us ate in silence. When we met Liang Sheng here, everyone had their own worries. I think I complained more about Liang Sheng at this time. I listened to them saying goodbye to each other. Sheng and the two foreigners left the restaurant together, and Xuanxuan muttered: "I pretended not to see Yan Yan. It was me who was blind before. I thought Liang was always a good man."
It's not like Chu Jin agreed or disagreed. He tried hard to pick up food for Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan said angrily: "Why are you still embarrassed?"
"No, I just want you to...eat more food." Chu Jin quickly explained.
I don’t think there is any need to embarrass Chu Jin. Considering the friendship between Chu Jin and Liang Sheng, it is normal even if he chooses to side with Liang Sheng without hesitation.
I felt a little suffocated, and lost my appetite in front of the table full of food. I looked out the window unconsciously, with a glimmer of hope in my heart. Maybe I would see Liang Sheng passing by. We haven’t seen each other for half a month, and we really looked like Two strangers, this process of becoming stranger is really cruel.
"I'm full." I put down the bowl and chopsticks. I couldn't take another bite.
My dad looked at my skinny appearance and was a little worried: "Eat some more. How can I explain to your mother that you are so skinny?"
Xuanxuan also looked at me pitifully. Several people seemed to be coaxing children to eat, but I really couldn't take a bite. I was so depressed that I couldn't breathe, as if someone else was sealed in an iron box.
"Can we talk?" Suddenly, I saw Liang Sheng who had returned. He walked straight to our seat, his tone was like an old friend. I heard an unspeakable sadness when he spoke to me. It spread in my chest. Before I could answer, my dad had already spoken: "My daughter has nothing to talk to you about."
My dad's tone was very bad. He didn't get up and scold Liang Sheng in public now. He was very tolerant. Liang Sheng stood there without saying anything. We were confronting each other like two camps. My dad didn't respond when he saw Liang Sheng. Go, and finally stood up suddenly. When he gets angry, his eyes will widen, making people panic: "Do you still remember what you promised me? Did you protect your words? You don't trust her. , and you haven’t fulfilled your promise, what else is there to say, don’t appear in front of us in the future, get as far away as you can!”
My dad's voice was a bit loud, which attracted a lot of attention. A waiter came over and asked my dad to lower his voice a little so as not to disturb others. My dad then sat down and stopped talking with a dark face. Chu Jin said to Liang Sheng : "Boss Liang, uncle is so angry now, why not talk about it later. Ana Shen just came out..."
"I'll be out for a while." I interrupted Chu Jin and stood up. I said to my dad, "Dad, don't be angry. I'll make it clear to him."
My dad hesitated to speak, but when he saw my firm eyes, he turned his head and said nothing. I looked up at Liang Sheng, then walked around him without saying a word and walked out of the restaurant.
Liang Sheng turned around and followed.
The night outside is like water, and the splendor of the city reflects the night sky with some brilliance. I can't see the stars, I can only see the bustling night. The wind is a bit cold, ruffling my hair, and there are people coming and going on the street outside the restaurant. People noticed the stiff atmosphere in which Liang Sheng and I stood under the tree.
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked proactively, but as soon as I spoke, I realized that my voice was a little hoarse.
"I've lost a lot of weight." Liang Sheng said the same thing as Xuanxuan. I tugged at the loose corners of my clothes, nodded and said "Yeah". When I was in prison, I couldn't eat anything, and I looked like a fool every day. It's also normal to lose weight because I'm thinking about all the things in the past.
Liang Sheng was very close to me, and I smelled a faint smell of tobacco, but there was no rose scent that I was familiar with in the past. Maybe I no longer use it. He said that the scent was to remember me when I was a student. Now that it has lost its meaning, Liang Sheng said: "Why go to the construction site?"
"Ling Xiao asked me on an appointment." I replied neatly. After sniffing, I felt a little hot in my eyes. Fortunately, it was dark under the tree and you couldn't see my expression. I replied: "Why do you ask these questions? Do you believe me? ?”
"Why did you agree to go?" Liang Sheng avoided my question and asked again.
"I don't want to answer this, Liang Sheng." I called Liang Sheng's name. I always thought this name was so nice. Every time I called him, I felt full of tenderness. But now why do I feel like I'm calling him this name? The name is so bitter and stiff? I took a deep breath, sucking the coolness of the night into my chest, and said, "Ling Xiao is that x, the person who followed me. I think he was the one who pushed your dad down. Of course, I have no evidence." , but I think it’s no longer necessary to have evidence.”
This wasn't the first time I broke up with Liang Shengti, but this time I didn't have the heart-rending pain. I was just confused and blank. The most painful moment was during the half-month waiting in prison. I have gotten over it, and I am always looking forward to Liang Sheng coming to see me. I can explain to him, but he doesn't.
"Liang Sheng, if it was a mistake for us to be together from the beginning, then let's end this mistake together now." I lowered my head, unwilling to look up at Liang Sheng again: "You once said you told me to believe you, but In the end, you didn’t believe me.”
