Sun Quan glanced at the food on his table and asked politely. He had already eaten more than half of the food on the table, and he guessed that Tang Xin would not agree to eat together.
Sure enough, Tang Xin looked at the dishes on his table and shook his head with a smile, "No, let's do it next time! I have two colleagues today, let's do it next time!"
Sun Quan: "Okay, then next time!"
Tang Xin smiled and waved to him, and walked to an empty table not far away with her two colleagues who were smiling reservedly. Sun Quan looked at it twice, smiled, lowered his head and continued to eat his own.
He didn't expect to meet Tang Xin here tonight, but it was enough to say a few polite words to each other. He had no other ideas. A few years ago, he had no such thoughts about Tang Xin. Today, a few years later
, still the same.
If his current marriage is unsatisfactory, he may have other thoughts, but he is now happily married, and his second child will be born in a few months. There are no flowers and plants outside, and he has nothing to do with them.
What interest?
…
"Tang Xin, that friend of yours just now seems to be quite rich? How did you meet?"
Not far away, Tang Xin, a slender colleague who had just sat down, asked her curiously.
The plump woman glanced at Sun Quan and asked, "Yes! He's quite handsome!"
Both women looked at Tang Xin curiously.
The smile on Tang Xin's face faded a little, but she kept a light smile and said, "I met a friend a few years ago, but I haven't contacted him for a long time."
The plump woman asked curiously: "How do you know each other?"
Tang Xin blinked, lowered his head slightly, and wiped the table with a tissue, "I met a senior at my university by chance."
The slender woman leaned her upper body slightly, "Oh? Senior? He has chased you before, right? Hehe."
Plump woman: "Hey!"
The two women laughed evilly, seeming to be convinced of this matter.
Tang Xin shook his head, "No, you are thinking too much!"
At this time, a waiter came over with a menu, but the fat woman couldn't help but ask: "Really? No way? He looks quite handsome, and he seems to be quite rich. Even if he hasn't chased you, you
Have you ever hooked up with him?"
Tang Xin raised her head and rolled her eyes, her tone affirmative, "No!"
The thin woman couldn't help but glance at Sun Quan who was not far away, and asked in a low voice: "Then... how about you give me his contact information? I have a good impression of him. If you don't want it, don't waste it!
"
The fat woman also said: "Yes, yes! I think he is not very old, so he is not married yet, right? Do you know if he has a girlfriend?"
"Good evening, three guests! Here is the menu. Please give me a shout when you have ordered!"
The waiter who came over put the menu and a pencil in front of Tang Xin. Tang Xin picked up the pen and marked a few vegetarian dishes on the menu. When the waiter walked away a little, he shook his head and said, "Don't even think about it, you two! No.
There's a chance, I'm already married, and I heard that I've already given birth to a child, so you two should save your time!"
"Married? No way? Married at such a young age?"
The slender woman was surprised, and the plump woman was also surprised, "Really or not? The baby has been born? Tang Xin! You didn't say that on purpose because you were reluctant to introduce her to us, right?"
"Mandarin duck pot bottom?"
Tang Xin raised her head and asked them.
The plump woman and the slender woman were speechless for a while, then nodded one after another.
Tang Xin lowered her head and casually marked a mandarin duck pot bottom on the menu, and said casually: "You know 99 Braised Chicken? He is the boss! If you want to make sure whether he is married, you can go to 99 Braised Chicken when you have time.
Ask the waiter in the store, maybe they will know."
“99 braised chicken?”
The plump woman was even more surprised.
The slender woman couldn't help but glance at Sun Quan who was not far away, blinked and whispered: "No way? Is this a rich second generation? As far as I know, there are many braised chickens in our city.
A few branches, right?"
Plump woman: "Is that the 99 Braised Chicken that was advertised on "The Voice of China"? This...he is a rich man! I heard that 99 Braised Chicken is a national chain, and the boss is so young?"
When Tang Xin, who was ordering from the menu, heard this, she paused with the pen in her hand and nodded slightly, "Yes! It's the 99-yellow braised chicken, but he is not the second generation of rich people. I heard that his family is from a rural area and his family background is very ordinary.
"
"Phoenix Man?" The slender woman blurted out a new term.
The plump woman frowned and retorted: "This is not considered a Phoenix man, is it? A Phoenix man should be the kind of person who comes from a very humble background, and then passes the college entrance examination and goes out of the countryside. After graduation, he has a good job and a good income, but has a heavy family burden.
That kind of person, right? This kind of self-made person...should...should be called a nouveau riche, right?"
Tang Xin looked up in surprise, and the slender woman was speechless for a while.
After a few seconds of silence, the slender woman laughed and said, "It seems to be true!"
Tang Xin shook his head, "Nouveau riche generally refers to the kind of rich people who don't know a few characters and have no cultural background, but suddenly get rich quickly, right? Do you know how he became rich?"
Plump woman: “How did you become successful?”
The slender woman also looked curious.
Tang Xin looked at them, then lowered her head and continued to order, and replied calmly: "He made money by writing novels, and then opened a store to do business. Although his education is not as high as ours, he only has a college degree, but... his writing skills are definitely better than ours.
We are much stronger, but the books we have read... may not be as many as his."
"An educated upstart?" the plump woman asked in surprise.
Tang Xin: "..."
Slender woman: "..."
…
Not far away, Sun Quan, who was eating hot pot alone, didn't hear Tang Xin and the others talking about him. Even if they did, it probably wouldn't matter to him.
He has long since stopped caring about what others say about him behind his back. He is not here to show off to others.
He ate for about half an hour and was full. When he got up and was about to leave, he saw Tang Xin and the others not far away. He hesitated slightly. He walked over and said goodbye to them, and then went to the bar to help them pay the bill.
They buried the bill.
The three women ate relatively sparingly. They only ordered 87 yuan worth of food, which was not as much as he ordered alone. Such a small amount of money was just drizzle to him. For the sake of their previous friendship, he buried it conveniently.
Got their order.
After all, although he had not been happy with Tang Tang in the past, Tang Xin had always gotten along well with him.
Driving on the way home, after the car left the city, it was a relatively empty suburban road. Night had already fallen, and the beams of the car lights broke through the night. Sun Quan was not driving fast, and his whole attitude was relaxed.
.
He thought that the Tang Xin he met tonight might have a rich imagination developed through writing novels, and many strange questions flashed through his mind.
For example: If he had not met Yuan Shuiqing at the beginning, would he and Tang Xin have gotten together later?
He knew that Tang Xin liked him a little bit, he knew it back then.
So the thoughts in his mind at this time were like constructing a novel. What would have happened to his life if Yuan Shuiqing had not appeared?
Then he thought of many possibilities.
For example: one day he met another girl, a girl who amazed him. Because he earned a lot of royalties from his book "My Decathlon", he captured the girl's heart, or maybe just her body. After that, they might
Will they be together forever, and then get married, or maybe... one day, he was made unbearable by her bad character under her beautiful appearance, and then kicked her, and it might be better to look for the next one.
Or maybe a worse girlfriend...
Then, in a chance encounter like this tonight, I met Tang Xin, who has graduated from college and has matured. Maybe some romantic stories will happen tonight in a dimly lit place.
Another example: If Yuan Shuiqing had not appeared that year, although his reason told him that Tang Xin's outlook on life had not yet been finalized and was not suitable for dating, he drank with her one day and lost his reason because of the alcohol.
Looking at her young and beautiful face and figure, they slept together because they were greedy for her body, and finally they were together like that...
All kinds of random thoughts flashed through his mind uncontrollably, causing a self-deprecating smile to appear on his lips unconsciously.
He knew very well in his heart that if the possibilities that just flashed through his mind really came true, maybe his life would become very exciting. He might have slept with many beauties of all kinds, but his heart would definitely not
As stable and solid as it is now.
Being able to sleep with all kinds of beauties was certainly a very pleasant life, but he already knew what it meant.
Before his rebirth, although he frequently hit the streets and was not successful in writing, he did sleep with a lot of fat and thin beauties.
But on those days, he didn't feel happy.
Many nights, when he looked at his heart, he always saw a heart that was covered with wounds. That heart had no destination and was like a lonely ghost, wandering in the world.
What is the saddest thing?
After several subsequent relationships, from the beginning of the relationship, he had a premonition of breaking up again. At that time, he knew very well that he could not give the kind of life that most women who wanted to get married wanted.
Buying a house...he can't afford it.
He doesn't have enough money for decoration, marriage, car replacement... he doesn't have enough money.
And the previous failed relationships have long made him understand... Unless the woman who wants to get married is the kind of woman whose own conditions are not very good and has no other better choices, she will be very realistic. A house is the most basic thing.
A house, plus decoration, plus bride price, plus wedding needs...
As soon as he did the calculations, he knew that his pitiful savings would not be enough.
But the life he lives now has far exceeded his expectations back then. Perhaps he still has ideas and ambitions in his career.
But emotionally, he and Yuan Shuiqing have been married for a long time. Their daughter is almost two years old, but he still loves her very much. When he thinks of her, he feels happy and satisfied in his heart. When he thinks of his daughter again... his heart...
full.
When the two children in Yuan Shuiqing's belly were born, his heart was about to burst. Where would there be room for other women?
