Wake up.
I was awakened by the ringing of my mobile phone. Fortunately, today is the weekend. Otherwise, being late as a boss would not be a good example.
The screen showed eight missed calls, three from Fu Xiaoci and five from home. But after a pause, the phone started ringing again, and I swiped the screen: "Hello?" The nasal voice was heavy.
"Master Lin," Sister Lan said respectfully, "you finally answered the phone."
"Is something wrong?"
"That's it, next week..."
If it wasn't for Sister Lan, I would have forgotten that the 25th anniversary of my father and mother's silver wedding has arrived.
Marriage is really a difficult road. A silver marriage is actually more difficult than a golden marriage. The first twenty-five years were the most difficult. They were able to get to where they are today, not because of affection but indifference.
Of course, this is not a celebratory banquet, but a large-scale social occasion packed with blessings. In essence, it is a large-scale social occasion for high society, business and political exchanges. I have seen too many since I was a child. Only on such occasions, I can only see a couple who are "very loving".
The silver wedding anniversary is very grand. All the families that Tongcheng should come from are here, and some new entrepreneurs are also present, and there are familiar faces.
The emcee gave a generous speech on the stage and said all kinds of touching words, as if even he himself was moved to cry. Under the spotlight, I saw my father holding my mother's hand and talking to her very intimately, like a loving family member. companion.
Beautiful and false.
After a round of applause, the free party began.
Father and mother led a waltz, and the rest of the guests danced on the dance floor in twos and threes, and there were many gossips and chats.
"Lin Shaohai has returned to China. He is a very successful young man. He will be a good player in Tongcheng in the future. Let me give you a toast first." Many of my father's partners talked to me.
I have long been accustomed to such hypocrisy, and I also replied: "Where, I am young, and I still need your guidance in the future."
"Lin Shao has also reached the age of marriage, do you have a fiancée? If you don't have one, you should hurry up, there are not many good girls now. Well, look at Mr. Shen's daughter over there, I think it is very suitable for you. Well!"
Here again, the aristocratic families always have an unnamed love for chaotic mandarin duck music. I touched him with a wine glass and smiled, "No hurry, no hurry."
I managed to dodge a group of people. I was thinking of being quiet for a while in the corner. When I looked up, I saw a beautiful woman with long wavy hair leaning on the arms of a wealthy businessman by the pool in the yard. The extremely exaggerated tassel earrings made me stunned for a moment.
After looking carefully for a while, she still had a poppy tattoo on her neck, so I believed that she was not wrong.
Life is full of surprises, it is joy to meet friends after a long absence, and it is shock to meet friends when friends meet.
Li Lu, a high school classmate. It's really weird that she appears here. I know how her family is, even if she doubles it several times, it's not enough to enter this circle, but I probably understand a thing or two when I see her acting coquettishly towards the rich businessman.
A few years ago, she was a sister, and the whole school knew that she liked Qin Lang, so she chased him the most. Although the girls in the school regarded Qin Lang as their dream lover, but no one dared to provoke Li Lu, so she pretended to be Qin Lang's prospective girlfriend outside.
I still remember the first time I saw her, she had just climbed the wall and came back from outside the school with a cigarette in her mouth. When the dean of the school was checking out of class, she hid in the grass. When the dean passed me Asked if I had seen anyone, I shook my head and she escaped.
At that time, she threw the cigarette butt, tossed her long hair, and raised her eyebrows fiercely. Even though she was a high school student, she rendered the social ruffians and worldliness just right. She patted me on the shoulder: "Okay, good student, it's easy to lie."
She wouldn't know that at that time I was also very envious of her character.
Only later, when I became the person who claimed to be Qin Lang's lover, she also slapped me with a social temper: "Lin Xian, you're a bitch than a bitch! I bah!"
She wanted to turn around and hide, but Li Lu turned her head first, and after seeing me, she walked straight over. Immediately, I took a deep breath and looked to both sides. Fortunately, there was no glass for her to throw at me.
"Long time no see, Young Master Lin," she said, her voice sloppy and hypocritical, "I thought you wouldn't come back."
"It's been a long time." I didn't want to talk to her, I looked at my nose with my eyes.
Li Lu saw my indifference, and his tone was full of irony: "Why, do you look down on your old classmates so much? You were so good before, you wouldn't roll your eyes when you saw bad students, why, now Seeing me being someone else's mistress, do you think I lowered the level of your banquet?"
Mistress, really high-sounding.
Very sharp words, she speaks so bluntly about hurting herself and doesn't save face for herself. It is conceivable that her life should have suffered a lot of setbacks and ups and downs in the past few years. It is her temper when she loses one thousand, but also hurts eight hundred.
What can I do but sigh, I can only say, "I don't care about other people's lives."
"It looks like you're having a good time." Her eyes were a little poisonous.
"Why not?" I asked her back.
"Hehe..." She suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, with a beautiful charm, "Yeah, you are so good, so you don't know how others live in hell. Lin Xian, you are back now, but Have you thought about the price of coming back?"
I finally could only look directly at her, and the corners of my mouth evoked more irony than hers, if she thought I was the one who wouldn't tell her back then, she would be disappointed, and I said, "Li Lu, virtue is her own. The path is chosen by oneself, the face is given by others, and the face is lost by oneself.”
"What do you mean?"
"Whether you live well or not, it's all your own creation, don't mind me," I said rudely, "what else do you have to say now, and I will let my father improve in the future. The threshold of the invitation, when the banquet is over, you may not have a chance to enter the gate of my Linyuan."
"You!" Her long nails poked into her palm all of a sudden, I felt pain for her when I saw it, she looked at me fiercely, "Okay, you are cruel enough. But you will be cruel in front of me. Well, in front of Qin Lang, do you dare?"
I was silent, she thought I was speechless, she immediately became a little proud, leaned her waist on the table, and pulled her hair together: "You don't know yet, Qin Lang is also in Tongcheng. You were in front of him back then. That bitch, I still remember it clearly..."
How proud she is, how speechless I am. She wouldn't know, I've seen Qin Lang long ago. Under the influence of alcohol and drugs, his attitude was much worse than in front of her.
"Get up!" She raised her voice and scolded her, and the surroundings immediately became quiet. I was a little sorry at first, but after looking at the reactions of the people around me, I realized that it was not my fault, but someone approaching us.
First, I saw Li Lu's expression was a little chapped, a little bit of shame and a little bit of panic appeared in his brows and eyes, and then the bottom of his eyes was a little wet, and then he gave up the quarrel with me and ran out of the yard.
So I turned my head with a 12-point suspicion, and my spine froze.
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived. LC
