Chapter 30 The two of them turned out to be college classmates
Xie Yuan began to track the owner of the dumpling restaurant. This job was much easier than tracking Tian Shan. The main reason was that he did not need to worry about much when tracking the owner of the dumpling restaurant. In addition, a more critical reason was that Xie Yuan happened to be at the west entrance of the pedestrian street.
I found the dumpling restaurant owner’s car in the parking lot.
One afternoon, Xie Yuan parked his car in the parking lot of the pedestrian street as usual and went to take a look near Tian Shan's flower shop and dumpling house. He knew that this might not make sense, but he felt even worse if he didn't do something.
.
Xie Yuan had just parked his car when he suddenly saw the owner of the dumpling restaurant walking in front of his car. The owner of the dumpling restaurant took off his work clothes, took off his chef hat, and wore an ordinary jacket, jeans and sneakers.
, dressed casually. From the appearance, it is not obvious that he is a small owner of a dumpling restaurant.
Watching the dumpling restaurant owner walking towards a Wuling Hongguang van, Xie Yuan also started the car and quietly followed the van out of the parking lot.
Since it was his first time to follow a car, Xie Yuan had little experience, so he lost the car after a while. Frustrated, he drove the car back to the parking lot along the original road. At this time, he suddenly thought that he should go to the flower shop.
The dumpling house must be closed at this moment, and if the flower shop is not open, it may be as I imagined.
This time he did not look far away at the entrance of the alley, but made up an excuse and walked straight towards Tian Shan's flower shop. As expected, Tian Shan's flower shop was closed, and Xie Yuan sat down on the steps in front of the door dejectedly.
The afternoon sun shone unobstructed on Xie Yuan's body. Xie Yuan felt himself getting chills and fever, and his shirt was soaked with sweat. He wanted to take out a cigarette to smoke one, but found that he had left it behind.
In the car.
Xie Yuan didn't know how he got back to the car, nor when he got back to the car. He sat in the car for a long time until he saw the van returning to the parking lot. Xie Yuan wanted to go again
The flower shop took a look, but he couldn't muster the courage no matter what.
With this experience and the experience of seeing Tian Shan in the mall twice before, Xie Yuan knew that it would be more efficient to follow up in the afternoon. So he concentrated on handling business matters every morning, and drove to the parking lot after noon.
Field etc.
It was one afternoon in late autumn. Xie Yuan followed the van out of the parking lot. There were not many vehicles along the way, which saved Xie Yuan, who was not good at driving, a lot of effort. He followed the van forward and came to his
The shopping mall where He Yaoyao met Tian Shan. When he entered the underground garage of the shopping mall, he felt his heartbeat begin to accelerate, as if the blood all over his body was rushing rapidly.
There were not many cars in the underground garage of the mall in the afternoon, so it was easy to find a parking space. The van found a spot near the mall's escalator and stopped. Xie Yuan did not lean over, but chose to park a dozen meters behind the van.
The man in the van didn't get out of the van. Xie Yuan didn't get out either. He turned off the engine and stared closely at the car in front of him. People often got out of the elevator and drove out of the garage. Cars often came in from the garage, parked their cars and took the elevator.
Go to the mall.
About half an hour later, Xie Yuan saw the elevator door open, and a slender lady came down, wearing clothes that Xie Yuan had never seen before. It was Tian Shan. Xie Yuan's throat felt like
He couldn't breathe when someone was suffocating him. His face turned red from the suffocation. He wanted to open the car door and rush over, but he couldn't move.
Seeing Tian Shan open the door of the van and get in, the van started and drove towards the exit of the garage. Only then did Xie Yuan regain the ability to move, quickly started the car and followed the van.
Since Tian Shan was in the car, Xie Yuan did not dare to get too close. Fortunately, the speed of the van was not too fast, so he did not lose him. The van was twisting and turning in the city, and Xie Yuan could no longer remember how far he had walked.
I don't know how much time passed, but Xie Yuan finally followed the van into the underground parking garage of a hotel.
The owner of the dumpling restaurant got out of the car first. Xie Yuan found that he had changed his clothes, probably in the car. When he came out, the bag on his shoulder should have contained the clothes he wore when going to a high-end hotel.
The owner of the dumpling restaurant in the clothes has completely lost the temperament of a small boss, and has become a suave and successful business elite. Tian Shan also got out of the car, and they walked to the elevator side by side, hand in hand.
Xie Yuan's head was about to explode! He opened the car door to chase the couple, but was restrained by the seat belt. He yelled in the car and watched the two of them enter the elevator.
The scream did not reach anyone else's ears. He honked the car horn loudly, but no one came over in the garage.
He lost his mind and finally broke free from the restraints of the seat belt. He came to the van and wanted to find a convenient guy to smash the van. He looked around, but found a security guard approaching from a distance.
Looking at the security guard who was gradually approaching, he suddenly thought of Yaoyao. Yaoyao was not his biological daughter, but she had lived with him for ten years. He loved her, loved her, and doted on her for ten years. He was about to lose her.
? If you fall out with Tian Shan, what reason do you have to keep Yaoyao?
The security guard walked closer and glanced at Xie Yuan, who was standing there with a red face and asked:
"Sir, how can I help you?"
Xie Yuan shook his head, waved and walked to his car.
Two hours later, Xie Yuan saw Tian Shan and Tian Shan walking out of the elevator, getting into a van, and driving away.
Xie Yuan watched them leave, his body did not move, and his heart did not move. In the past two hours, he had thought a lot. He decided that he could no longer live such a life, and he wanted to change! He wanted the owner of this dumpling restaurant to change from his
Disappeared from his life! But the change cannot make him lose Yaoyao! Nor can it make Tian Shan realize that she has learned the truth.
Next there is another important question, who is the owner of this dumpling restaurant? Why did he open a dumpling restaurant here? Is it because of Tian Shan that he opened this dumpling restaurant here? These questions linger in Xie Yuan's mind
Here, he has to figure it out.
He remembered that Tian Shan opened the shop in the third year after they got married. Should she open the dumpling shop first or the flower shop first? So he decided to go to the dumpling shop after Tian Shan closed the shop and went home for dinner at night.
If you wander around, you will always find someone who knows the details and is willing to talk, he thought.
This candidate was undoubtedly Lao Suntou. After two days of wandering around, Xie Yuan discovered that Lao Suntou had to go to the dumpling restaurant to sit for a while every night. Moreover, Lao Suntou came home at a very fixed time every day.
Xie Yuan pretended to be casual and walked on the way home to Lao Suntou. When he met Lao Suntou, he said hello to him. After greeting him for a few days, Xie Yuan took out a cigarette and let Lao Suntou smoke it.
While we were smoking, we chatted for a while. As we chatted, we ended up at the dumpling restaurant.
"You're talking about the old man from the dumpling restaurant, Zhang, he's been here for a long time!" Old Sun Tou said, taking a puff of his cigarette.
"How long can your old man live here?" Xie Yuan said.
"Well, let's not talk about it. It's really the same length. I remember that a few days after I moved here, the dumpling restaurant opened. At the beginning, I didn't know Lao Zhang well and didn't interact with him often. Later, it took more than a year for us to become regular.
Come and sit here." Old Suntou said.
"How many years has it been?" Xie Yuan asked.
"15 years, I moved here in 2006." Lao Suntou answered.
Xie Yuan and Tian Shan got married in 2005, and Tian Shan opened the flower shop in 2007. So, the dumpling house opened first? Then did Tian Shan and him meet before the flower shop? Or after the flower shop?
If they met after the flower shop, why? Because the shop is relatively close? Because of buying flowers? Because of eating dumplings? Or some chance encounter? Xie Yuan thinks this possibility is very small, Tian Shan
I am not the kind of person who is good at sociability and would not rush into a relationship with a stranger.
If they knew each other before the flower shop, it means that Tian Shan’s flower shop chose this location deliberately because she wanted to be closer to the person who opened the dumpling restaurant. If this is the case, then Tian Shan should be in
I had a connection with this person who opened a dumpling restaurant before I met him. So who could this person be? Tian Shan’s ex-boyfriend?
With this question in mind, Xie Yuan began to look for answers at home.
Except for Xie Yuan's trouble with Yaoyao, their married life is still very happy and harmonious in other aspects. Neither of them is the kind of narrow-minded person, and both of them respect each other's privacy very much. So both of them are very happy and harmonious.
There are some personal belongings from the past that are kept, but everyone tacitly agrees not to ask further questions.
Tian Shan had a small box that she brought from her parents' home, which contained some photo albums and souvenirs. Xie Yuan once took a look at it when Tian Shan was sorting it out, but didn't care at first. Tian Shan didn't think it was anything that needed to be kept secret.
Things and boxes are placed on the top of the closet, never locked, and almost never looked through.
Xie Yuan returned home early that day, moved a chair, stood on it, and took down the box from the top of the wardrobe. The box was covered with a layer of dust, and it looked like no one had touched it for a long time.
Xie Yuan opened the box and found that there were indeed some albums, photos and souvenirs in the box, even Tian Shan's elementary school diploma. Seeing Tian Shan's childlike appearance as a child, Xie Yuan felt a lot of love in his heart.
In the photos of elementary school graduation, junior high school graduation, and high school graduation, Tian Shan grew up step by step and became more and more beautiful.
The clearest and largest photo was a group photo taken when Tian Shan graduated from college. Xie Yuan found Tian Shan's figure and caressed it affectionately with his fingers for a while. When he was about to put down the photo, he suddenly spotted a familiar face.
It's him! It's him! The man who opened the dumpling restaurant! It turned out that they were college classmates. Xie Yuan sat down on the floor and stared at the photo in a daze for a long time.
People's names are marked at the bottom of the photo. This is because he is afraid that he will forget the names of his classmates after a long time. Xie Yuan counted the names and found that the fifth person from the left in the fourth row was named: Meng Yuanming.
It turns out that this person's name is Meng Yuanming, Tian Shan's college classmate. Maybe they were already lovers in college. But I don't know why Tian Shan chose to marry me after graduation? And after marrying herself, why did Tian Shan still want to marry me?
What about maintaining a relationship with him?
Xie Yuan rummaged through the box again, but except for this class photo, there was no information about Meng Yuanming.
