Chapter five hundred and eighty third: the old place
Pan Jian called and asked Chu Jingyao to have dinner together. Chu Jingyao hesitated and then refused, saying that she was busy with work and had to take care of her children when she got home at night. Pan Jian said it didn't matter, I was already downstairs in your company.
Chu Jingyao was speechless. It takes courage to refuse. It takes even greater courage to refuse again, especially when facing someone you like.
Chu Jingyao had no intention of looking at the thick documents on the table. Chu Jingyao had packed up for get off work early. She was so confused that sitting in this office was just a matter of time. Instead of doing this, she might as well leave work early.
The eldest boss in the company is Boss Wang, and she is the boss's boss. At present, it seems that the company can continue to work without him, but Chu Jingyao will not be able to function without her, so she has free working hours and can come and go as she pleases.
The Big Old Wang also saw that Chu Jingyao was completely out of shape today. The Big Old Wang came to the company every day just to take charge of the 'overall situation' and to know a little bit about every aspect. Then he went out to accompany clients, play golf and so on.
of.
"Mr. Chu!"
Big Lao Wang walked out of the office with a caring smile on his face and asked, "Are you in a bad mood today?"
Chu Jingyao smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your concern."
The elder Wang looked at the subordinates around him. Those who looked here curiously quickly looked away. The elder Wang whispered to Chu Jingyao: "Jingyao, can you come to my office? I
I have something to say."
"oh."
Chu Jingyao followed Big Lao Wang into the office. Big Lao Wang closed the blinds and asked Chu Jingyao to sit down. Then he poured a glass of water for Chu Jingyao himself. Chu Jingyao smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, you don't have to
You are so polite, this is in your own company, and I am not a guest."
The elder Wang said: "Jingyao, I have always regarded you as my younger sister. As a brother, I have to say this today."
Chu Jingyao said in confusion: "Oh?"
Big Laowang said with a serious face: "I watched them all this morning."
Chu Jingyao said strangely: "What did you see?"
Big Lao Wang gestured while saying: "A man of such a height can send flowers and breakfast, but also roses."
Chu Jingyao smiled and said, "Just a friend."
Big Laowang said: "Sister, Xiao Lin is a good person. Please don't do stupid things. If something goes wrong in your marriage, the saddest thing will not be you two adults, but the children. I'm telling you this.
Let me tell you, I grew up in a single-parent family. When I was a child,
My father ran away with another woman, leaving my mother and two younger sisters. Children in single-parent families have a hard time. I know this firsthand. Fatherly love and motherly love are both useless. Listen to me.
My advice, don’t hurt your children because of unworthy things."
Chu Jingyao has never felt that Big Lao Wang was so friendly as today. After leaving the company's office building, she saw Pan Jian standing under a billboard waiting for him. He was wearing a pair of casual leather shoes and jeans, and his upper body was changed into a sweatshirt.
black coat, neck
Wearing a black and white striped scarf, the whole person looks a bit more dazzling than the beautified male star on the billboard. The girls passing by him or walking from a distance are all unconscious.
She cast a stunning and nymphomaniac look at him.
"Wow, so handsome!"
"handsome guy!"
“So handsome!”
…
"You look very cool." Chu Jingyao walked up to Pan Jian, nodded slightly and smiled.
"I've always been very cool, you know that." Pan Jian said with a smile, "But I only belong to you."
Chu Jingyao's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she changed the subject and said, "What are you going to eat tonight?"
Pan Jian smiled and said, "I remember that you used to like to eat the seafood steamed dumplings in front of the school. I took a special look in the afternoon and it seemed that it was still there. If you still like to eat it now, where should we go?"
"Okay." Chu Jingyao said with a smile: "Let's just look for the shadow of our youth."
Chu Jingyao and Pan Jian walked to the parking lot together. Pan Jian called him. The two drove Chu Jingyao's red sedan and rushed to the gate of their alma mater's high school. They had just been killed yesterday.
After the janitor had rectified it, they no longer had the idea of going to the school to search for memories. The car finally stopped at the entrance of the seafood steamed dumpling restaurant across the road from the school and had already passed by.
I've been going there for several years, and the hotel's plaque has never been changed. It's no longer as glamorous as it was in the past, but the hotel's proprietress is still the same. She has a few fine lines on her face, which makes her look a little older. Those hot steamed dumplings
It's still the same smell. After graduating from high school, Chu Jingyao missed this smell, but she never came back. She was a frequent visitor here when she was in school.
After not seeing each other for several years, the landlady recognized Chu Jingyao at a glance, and said with kindness and surprise on her face: "Xiao Chu, you are here! Tsk tsk, I haven't seen you for several years, where have you been? You were just a little beauty in the past.
, now she has grown into a beautiful woman!”
Chu Jingyao smiled and blushed, and said, "Madam boss, today I want to eat your best dumplings."
The landlady smiled cheerfully and said: "No problem!" She turned to Pan Jian and immediately said with a slightly surprised smile: "Isn't this the school sweetheart Xiao Pan back then! Oh, you and Xiao Chuke were very close back then, and now
Together?"
Chu Jingyao took over the conversation with a smile, "Boss Boss, don't worry about our personal issues for now, just worry about our stomachs first. As soon as you enter the door, you will scream, please bring the dumplings quickly."
."
"Okay, no problem!" The proprietress greeted a waiter with a smile and said to Chu Jingyao and Pan Jian: "Let Xiao Li take you upstairs first. Today I will treat you two specially and cook in person!"
Chu Jingyao smiled and said: "Then we are in for a treat today. I remember the boss lady's stir-fried dishes were also delicious!"
The proprietress said proudly: "My cooking skills have improved in recent years!"
Chu Jingyao and Pan Jian sat upstairs. This hotel has only two floors. It is not easy to run it for so many years. The proprietress is a southerner. She was divorced in middle age and came to Zhonggang City with her two children to work hard. She owns this hotel.
Made with hard work.
You can see the school gate outside the window. It was just in time for school to end. Students in school uniforms walked out of the gate in twos and threes. The smiles on their faces were simple and sincere. Chu Jingyao looked at
Thinking of his past from a distance, Pan Jian sat across from her and looked at her, smiling and saying: "I remember I drove you home before. You seemed a little fatter than you are now, but you were also very fat.
pretty."
Chu Jingyao pouted, looked at him and said, "You have been abroad for so many years and you still can't speak."
The smile on Pan Jian's face faded, he lowered his head slightly so as not to look directly into Chu Jingyao's eyes and said: "Jingyao, you are the most beautiful girl I have met in so many years, and also the most beautiful girl I have met in my life.
woman."
Chu Jingyao was moved after hearing this, and said with a smile: "You are obviously lying. How can it be a lifetime? You have only lived a quarter of your life. You don't know how many beauties you will meet in the next three quarters."
Woolen cloth."
Pan Jian raised his head, looked at Chu Jingyao with a smile and said seriously: "When I meet you, I can no longer tolerate other women in my eyes."
The smile on Chu Jingyao's face trembled slightly, and her heart also trembled. There were ten thousand love words in the world, but at this moment, none of them were as intoxicating as Pan Jian's words. She felt a little bitter after she came back to her senses.
asked: "Then why did you leave in the first place?"
Pan Jian turned his head and looked out the window. Time seemed to have returned to that year. He said bitterly: "What else can be the reason? It's not all forced by my parents. After living abroad for so many years, I have never been happy. I am married."
Married and divorced, my destiny has been controlled by my parents since I was a child, until this time I made up my mind to return to China."
"divorce……"
"Yes." Pan Jian said with a wry smile: "My wife is an Englishman, and she is considered a lady, but our living habits are so different. We are noisy every day when we are together. I leave when I am really tired.
Already."
"She's pretty."
"Yeah." Pan Jian nodded and said with a smile, "But not as beautiful as you."
The proprietress personally brought up the hot steamed dumplings, along with four stir-fried dumplings. She smiled and said to Chu Jingyao and Pan Jian: "Let you try this long-lost taste. The price of dumplings has increased by two yuan compared to before."
, all the stir-fried dishes are given away for free. Don’t forget this old place when you’re done eating. Come here when you want to eat.”
"Thank you, boss lady." Chu Jingyao said with a smile.
The landlady smiled and praised: "This Miss Chu is not only beautiful, but also has such a sweet mouth. Xiao Pan, it is your blessing to be able to date such a good girl in eight lifetimes. You must cherish Xiao Chu."
Pan Jian smiled and said yes repeatedly, while Chu Jingyao lowered her head in shame. The landlady went downstairs to work without further interruption. When she saw the restaurant, the business of the small restaurant gradually became busy.
Lin Kun picked up Chengcheng from school and had a meal with Gu Wei in the hotel at noon before they separated. When Chengcheng saw Lin Kun, she threw herself into his arms excitedly. Lin Kun picked him up, and the little guy
She said with an aggrieved face: "Dad, where were you last night? I see mom is crying because she is thinking about you."
"Ah?" Lin Kun said in surprise.
"I dreamed that I saw my mother crying." Chengcheng laughed and said, "However, I saw that my mother was not very happy this morning. Dad, didn't you go out to hang out with a bad woman last night?"
A small black line suddenly appeared on Lin Kun's forehead. He pretended to be angry and wiped it on the bridge of Chengcheng's nose, "You brat, did you say that about your father?"
Chengcheng laughed heartily, "Dad, I know I was wrong."
Everyone has finished their busy work, and everyone has settled down to pick up the child this evening. Sun Zhi and Liu Gang came to pick up the child tonight, Geng Jundi also drove over, Li Chunsheng went out for his honeymoon after getting married, and Li Yanran drove over to pick up the child.
Pick up Su Youpeng.
Lin Kun greeted several people one by one, among whom Li Yanran was not very familiar. After carrying Cheng Cheng into the car, the little guy took off his schoolbag from his shoulders, turned around and said to Lin Kun excitedly
: "Dad, guess who I saw today?"
Lin Kun said casually: "Who is it?"
Chengcheng said: "Aunt Han."
Lin Kun said: "Which Aunt Han?"
Chengcheng said: "Dad, you are so forgetful, you are the aunt from when you went traveling in the summer!"
"oh?"
Lin Kun immediately remembered Han Xin. It had been several months since the last time he pretended to be her boyfriend to help her solve her blind date crisis, and there had been no contact in the meantime. He asked: "Where did you see her?"
"
Chengcheng said: "Aunt Han is here at school. She and Teacher Feng are good friends. It seems that they are going to have dinner together tonight."
Lin Kun smiled and said, "You know all this?"
Chengcheng said with a proud look on his face: "Of course, there are so many boys in my school, it's not easy to get some information."
Lin Kun chuckled at the little guy's mature appearance. Just as he was about to start the car, he suddenly saw a slim woman standing in front of him. She was wearing a long black coat, a pink scarf, and her black hair was flowing down.
On his shoulders, a pair of eyes that were as calm and cold as autumn water were looking towards him...
