Tongtong hugged my shoulders, shook me gently, and called me coquettishly: "Mom...Mom..."
Seeing my daughter's coquettish look, I smiled, hugged her and asked softly: "What's going on?"
Tongtong's big black and white eyes were moving "ticklingly". As soon as I saw her look like this, I knew she had something to say to me, but I didn't dare to say it yet.
So I smiled helplessly and encouraged her: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Tongtong put a finger to my mouth and whispered to me: "Then you have agreed not to be angry after hearing this, or I won't say anything."
Seeing Tongtong's mysterious appearance, I laughed out loud and said softly to her: "Just tell her, why is mom really angry with you? She's angry for your own good, just pretending to scare her.
your."
Hearing what I said, Tongtong felt relieved. She thought slowly and said to me: "The last time I went abroad, my father bought a dress for that woman, saying it was a birthday gift for her. It seemed like
What's the Chanel brand? Ting Ranran said that brand is very expensive. I don't know how much it costs, but it's at least ten or twenty thousand. Anyway, the woman was so proud after receiving this gift that she tried it on in front of the full-length mirror.
Try, I get angry just looking at her, and then I..."
Tongtong's words stopped abruptly, and I hurriedly asked: "What happened to you then?"
Tongtong looked at me and continued hesitantly: "I just...I ran to her room while she and my dad were out shopping, found the skirt in her closet, and then used scissors...
…It made a big gash in the back!”
I was stunned when my daughter said this! Then I scolded her: "Tongtong, how could you do this?"
Tongtong shouted at me aggrievedly: "Mom, it's not worth it for me to do it for you! When you were with my father, you couldn't bear to buy a dress worth thousands of dollars. Now, after my father dumped you, you are doing this for her."
Spending money makes me angry of course!"
As I spoke, tears began to appear in my daughter's eyes. She looked at me with her mouth pouted, and the grievance in her eyes was self-evident.
Seeing this scene, I fell silent.
What Tongtong said is true. Before Deng Wenliang and I divorced, I once took my daughter and a female colleague to go shopping together. I fell in love with a set of off-white skirts. The skirt was simple in style but elegant in appearance.
The workmanship is quite good.
At that time, the female colleague said that the skirt matched my skin tone very well, and encouraged me to try it on. I was a little tempted myself, and with the encouragement from the shopping guide, I finally tried it on and saw the effect after wearing it.
Very good indeed.
But when I looked at the price, it was 1,780 yuan without any discount, so I gave up a little bit.
Because the price of the clothes I usually wear, except for coats, are only a few hundred yuan, and rarely exceed 500 yuan. I generally won’t buy ordinary clothes if they cost more than 1,000 yuan. This is a savings that has been formed over a long time.
Habit.
Even though Deng Wenliang's career improved later and he asked me to buy some higher-end clothes, my habit did not change. Because it became a habit, I felt that I spent nearly 2,000 yuan on such an ordinary dress.
, not worth it, because this kind of skirt will be heavily discounted after the season, sometimes even 30 or 40% off. I would rather buy it when the season is on sale, and then wear it the next year, then I will feel it is worth it.
.
My daughter Tongtong remembers these things, so she said this now.
I looked at Tongtong, sighed softly, slowly put my daughter into my arms, and whispered to her: "Mom understands what you mean, but we, Tongtong, are the ones who will do big things in the future, and
It's not worth it for someone like her to worry about everything."
My Tongtong is a sensible child. When she heard my sad tone, she nodded slightly, although she may not understand everything I said.
I was pleased to see my daughter's reaction, so I stroked her little face and asked her softly: "She didn't make things difficult for you later, right?"
When Tongtong heard my question, she smiled slyly and told me quickly: "No! Later, she was very angry when she found out. I heard her stamping her feet in her room with anger! But there was no evidence! She didn't dare to put it
How am I doing!"
Hearing this, I was really worried about my daughter. I quickly asked her: "Then your father didn't doubt you later?"
Tongtong winked mischievously and whispered to me: "My father came to ask me later. He didn't ask directly, but just asked me if I had entered Yang Kexin's room? Of course I insisted that I had not!"
I smiled helplessly and scratched my daughter's little nose, murmuring: "You..."
Tongtong cocked her neck arrogantly and said to me: "I asked my dad why he asked me this? He said it was nothing, and then I told him that if they treat me like this again, I will not go there in the future.
Then my dad didn't dare to say anything. He just said that I should study hard and tell him if I have any requests, and then he went out."
My high-hanging heart was finally completely relieved.
I held my daughter in my arms again, stroked her soft hair, and said to her gently: "Forget what happened in the past, but don't do it again in the future. Remember what your mother said to you.
We, Tongtong, are the ones who are going to do big things in the future, so we can’t waste your precious time on these little things, do you understand?”
My daughter snuggled into my arms and nodded in understanding: "Mom, I understand, and I listen to you."
Hearing what my daughter said, I smiled happily.
***
After the fast-food restaurant business experienced an early boom, the turnover gradually stabilized. Apart from the expenses for the workers, the profits were still satisfactory to me. Although I couldn't talk about making a fortune every day, I finally decided on my own business.
After all, it's better than working for someone else.
Since I have more free time after running a fast food restaurant, Haichao and I have more time to meet with Xinnuo. At this time, they all started to enthusiastically help me introduce my boyfriend. In fact, I was still not ready.
I accepted a new man to come into my life, but I couldn't stand it and they kept saying it. I thought about it and thought I could consider this issue as the next step.
But at this time, I received a call from Zhu Yunxiu again.
It was an evening when the lights were on. After dinner, I was sitting in the living room watching TV. There was a standing lamp next to the sofa.
Just then my cell phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Zhu Yunxiu calling.
At that time, I was a little hesitant and wondered whether I should answer the call. However, it would be too rude not to answer the call, so I finally answered the call.
On the phone, Zhu Yunxiu asked me gently: "Xiao Su, how are you recently?"
I politely replied: "I'm okay, Brother Zhu, are you okay too?"
Zhu Yunxiu smiled and replied: "I'm fine too," and then slowly said to me, "I heard that your fast food restaurant has opened?"
I thought to myself that Zhu Yunxiu’s information was really well-informed, so I had to smile helplessly and said to him: “Yes, it’s already started,” and then explained, “Because I got it from someone else.
, so I didn’t spend too much money, the funds in my hand were enough, so I didn’t bother Brother Zhu.”
When Zhu Yunxiu heard what I said, he smiled helplessly and murmured: "You are just too polite."
I also laughed a little awkwardly, and the atmosphere reached a deadlock for a moment. We were both silent and didn't speak for a moment.
Later, it was Zhu Yunxiu who spoke first. He slowly said to me: "Xiao Su, I want to ask you to sit out for a while. Is it convenient for you now?"
When I heard this, I was stunned and looked at my watch. It was already seven o'clock in the evening, so I subconsciously asked him: "Now?"
Zhu Yunxiu replied affirmatively: "Yes, right now, okay?"
For a moment, I was in a dilemma. I didn’t know whether to say yes or no. If I said no, would it make me look too petty? After all, it was just an ordinary meeting between friends, so it didn’t mean there would be anything excessive.
development.
Seeing my hesitation, Zhu Yunxiu smiled and reassured me: "I just want to sit down and have a cup of tea with you and have a chat. Don't worry, it won't take you too long, and you don't have to worry about Brother Zhu eating you or drinking it."
I will send you back after tea."
When I heard this, I seemed a little embarrassed.
Although Deng Wenliang said that Zhu Yunxiu was a nouveau riche who made his fortune in real estate, in fact, in my heart, I always thought that Zhu Yunxiu had the gentle and elegant temperament of a Confucian businessman. I always felt that he was an excellent man with grace and cultivation. In fact, if
We are just gentlemen's friends. I think it's not bad to meet each other every day, chat and have tea.
So, I whispered to Zhu Yunxiu on the other side of the phone: "Brother Zhu said this, which makes me, Su Man, angry. I'm just afraid that it will disturb you and your family too much at night. If there is no inconvenience for you, then let's find someone."
It’s not a bad idea to have a cup of tea somewhere.”
Hearing what I said, Zhu Yunxiu laughed loudly and said: "Haha, there is nothing to disturb me here. Your sister-in-law and a few relatives and friends went to the Maldives for fun and will not come back in a few days. So it's settled. I
Going to pick you up?"
I quickly replied: "No, no! I'll take a taxi there myself. Can you tell me the location?"
Zhu Yunxiu stopped him with a smile: "Hey, don't be so polite to me. I know you have moved back to your original house, in Baiyun Community, right? In fact, I also went there from home, so it was a matter of course to pick you up.
, there’s nothing inconvenient, let’s settle it, I’ll call you when I get to the gate of your community later?”
Having said that, I couldn't make any more excuses, so I had no choice but to reply: "Okay, I live in Baiyun Community now. I'll wait for your call."
After putting down Zhu Yunxiu's phone call, I quickly went to touch up my makeup, and then went to the closet to find a suit suitable for going out at night. After all, Zhu Yunxiu is a person of spectacle, and I couldn't dress too shabbily when I went out with him.
After doing all this, Zhu Yunxiu's call came.
I hurriedly picked up the phone: "Hello?"
Zhu Yunxiu's magnetic and generous voice came over the radio: "Xiao Su, my car has arrived at the gate of your community. It is a white Mercedes-Benz, license plate number xxxx, please come out."
I concealed the panic in my heart and hurriedly responded: "Hey, okay, I'll be down right away." Then I quickly straightened my dress, picked up my small bag, and walked quickly downstairs.
When I walked outside the community gate, I saw a snow-white Mercedes-Benz car parked there. I walked forward slowly. At this time, Zhu Yunxiu had rolled down the window. He smiled and waved to me, and then put the passenger
The driver's door opened for me.
Today, Zhu Yunxiu is dressed very casually, with a high-end shirt with a stand-up collar and khaki casual pants. Coupled with his elegant temperament, his whole person exudes the confidence and open-mindedness of a successful person.
I got into his car with some anxiety and some anxiety. He was still as gentle and approachable as ever. He looked at me and smiled lightly, and then said softly: "It's quite easy to find someone here."
I smiled awkwardly and was speechless for a moment. At this moment, I accidentally glanced outside through the slowly sliding window and found a familiar figure standing on the roadside. He was looking towards me.
