Ran Zhen got the card from Ran's mother, and when Ran's mother said that Fan Qigang had come and offered to buy a house, get married, or simply move in, he was dumbfounded and laughed angrily.
Ran Zhen clearly understood Fan Qigang's demeanor at the negotiating table, but she didn't expect that he would actually use this trick on her parents. The key was that her father, who she thought was the most reliable as an iron wall, actually helped him this time.
Play tricks.
Before she could have an attack, Ran's mother said she was going to find Ran's father and Yifan, and went out without even stumbling. Ran Zhen just drank a glass of ice water to calm down the anger in her heart.
After calming down and thinking about it again, there is a reason why the parents' position is so unstable. They are originally conservative in thinking and think that if you are an individual, you have to start a family. What's more, there is also the key factor of Yifan. No matter how wronged the old couple is, they cannot wrong their children.
, why should children grow up in a single-parent family when they can have a complete family?
So for the old couple, if Ran Zhen and Fan Qigang can get together, it will be the best outcome.
After thinking about it, she knew that Fan Qigang was just waiting for her to take the initiative to see him, so she decided to be straightforward and make it clear once and for all, so as not to always feel like there was a knife hanging over her head. The key was that she didn't know what move he would make next.
This feeling of not being able to control his own life has never happened since the moment Ran Zhen left Fan Qigang.
After making a decision, Ran Zhen no longer avoided it and dialed Fan Qigang's phone number. Although the number was deleted, she remembered the string of numbers clearly.
When the call was connected, Fan Qigang opened his mouth like a friend he met often: "Zhenzhen, have you had dinner?"
"Where are you? Let's meet!" Ran Zhen said bluntly.
"I'm working overtime in the hotel. If you don't mind, come and sit here. It's quiet here. If you haven't eaten, we can just find a place to eat."
"No, please send me the hotel location and room number."
"I live in Guiyuan Hotel 0910 next to your community. Just take a walk and come over."
When Ran Zhen knocked on the door, the smell of instant noodles and instant coffee hit his nose.
Fan Qigang welcomed Ran Zhen in very enthusiastically, and said without any acknowledgment: "Zhenzhen, please sit down for a while. I originally expected to have dinner with you, but, haha, I just finished half of my meal."
Bowl, you wait until I finish it."
It was still dark late in September. The floor-to-ceiling windows of this business suite facing the lake were facing the lake. The setting sun dyed half of the sky and the lake far away. The man in front of him was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, and the orange sky outside the glass was shining in front of him.
Behind him, he somehow made this person look softer.
For some reason, Ran Zhen couldn't connect him with the high-spirited man who always wore formal clothes.
Fan Qigang sat at the table and ate instant noodles as if nothing had happened. He greeted Ran Zhen casually: "It's quite hot outside. There are drinks in the refrigerator. You can get it yourself."
Ran Zhen remained silent, but she found a single sofa and sat down on it. It seemed that the generous feeling of the sofa could make her feel calmer.
Fan Qigang finished the bowl of instant noodles in three mouthfuls. Seeing that Ran Zhen was silent, he got up and went to the refrigerator to get her some water: "What's going on? Why are we Zhenzhen so silent? I remember there used to be cheers wherever you were."
It’s a joke, but it’s true that after so many years, people will change a little, but Zhenzhen, you have really matured..."
"Do you still drink Coke? I remember that you used to like Coke the most. Every time you worked overtime on a case, you would buy a bag of Coke. You also said that the sweetness of Coke can offset the hard work of overtime..."
As Fan Qigang spoke, he unscrewed a bottle of iced Coke and handed it to Ran Zhen. Ran Zhen bit her lips. She didn't know why her nose was sore, but at such a time, she would not allow herself to collapse emotionally. She took a sip of ice.
I drank Coca-Cola and forcibly dispelled the strange feeling in my heart.
Fan Qigang saw Ran Zhen drinking Coke and said happily: "It seems that no matter how people change, the fundamental things will not change. Zhenzhen, you are still as stubborn as before and you still like sweet drinks."
The frozen drink calmed down Ran Zhen's mood and made his mind sober: "I'm not here today to talk to you about old times. You interfere with my life again and again, and even harass my family.
What do you want?"
Fan Qigang picked up the cup on the table and drank the cold coffee in the cup nonchalantly. He smiled and shook his head: "It's my fault. As I get older, I remember many things from the past more clearly, especially...
, Hey, forget it, if you don’t want to mention it, just don’t mention it, I was the bastard in the past..."
Seeing that Ran Zhen was about to have an attack, Fan Qigang quickly changed the subject: "I just want to know if I can enter your life and become your family in the future. We are all grown up, so we just need to live well together. Zhenzhen, if you have any grievances, just go to them."
I'll follow up on whatever I say, just don't turn a blind eye to me like you are now. To be honest, my heart feels like a cat scratching me every day..."
"How can you say it so lightly? Don't you have any idea why I returned to Zhongjiang back then? Can people live together? Is that something a couple of similar men and women can do?"
In contrast to Ran Zhen's aggressiveness, Fan Qigang's tone was extremely gentle, even doting on him: "You are so childish when you say this. You have been practicing independently for so many years. There are many things that you didn't understand at the beginning, but you should understand them now...
…”
"What I'm saying is that I can't accept your domineering attitude of forcing people into corners. It makes me feel breathless."
Fan Qigang smiled helplessly and changed the subject: "I thought about it carefully about your transfer, and I think it makes sense. I didn't think carefully before. I apologize to you. We won't work together in the future.
Naturally there won’t be so many contradictions.”
"As for matters in life, I completely listen to you. Time is not forgiving. In these years, I have experienced your farewell without saying goodbye, divorce, and the death of your parents. I have figured out many things."
Ran Zhen looked at Fan Qigang with a look of disbelief and a trace of ridicule in his eyes.
Fan Qigang smiled helplessly again: "I really have nothing to do with you. Sometimes I feel that I have lived for decades in vain. I don't know how to fall in love or pursue others. Zhenzhen, I am almost fifty years old.
I don’t have a home anymore. I spend most of the year living in hotels. I really want to have a home so that I can smell the delicious food when I get home from work..."
"Stop it, being miserable doesn't suit your personality!"
There was a fond smile on Fan Qigang's lips: "I'm telling the truth. It's so miserable. When we divorced, I gave her all the real estate. Zhenzhen, I'm really tired, and I just want to have a good time with you."
As you live your life, don't ignore me. Just tell me directly what you want from me. I admit that I am really lacking in this aspect, but the days are still long. You have to believe that I will try my best to understand your thoughts...
"
Suddenly I remembered that I forgot to send it on time after writing it yesterday and went out. There will be another one in the afternoon.
