Humans are social animals, but living in groups is also selective. Just like in the courtyard of a villa, a few people gather to form a small cluster, chatting about business, channels, fashion, etc.
Gossip and more, even Wu Zipei left me behind and went for a walk in the mountains with her two female friends, leaving me alone to sit on the bench in the yard and eat for almost two hours.
This reminds me of a saying that in a class society, people have class characteristics. It is difficult for a proletarian like me to integrate into the society of upper-class people like them. The topics and things we talk about are no longer on the same level.
Yes, people say that the Maserati is too fat. My third-hand Santana doesn’t dare to shift into fifth gear for fear that it will be too fast to stop the car. People say that the villas are too small. The one-bedroom apartment I live in feels like a rental apartment with one living room.
A lot of space was wasted.
"Isn't it boring?" Chen Wanwan was wearing a white dress. She came over at some point, took the hem of her skirt and sat next to me.
I quickly wiped the oil stain on my mouth with my sleeve, fearing that my glorious image would be lost in front of the beautiful woman. But just after wiping it, I remembered that the act of wiping my mouth with my clothes had no image at all, and I smiled awkwardly.
.
Seeing my embarrassment, Chen Wanwan also smiled slightly.
"Fortunately, there is a free buffet with unlimited supply. You can't even eat what you want."
I smiled and said, "Besides, I shook hands with your dad just now. Not many people have such an opportunity. It's a pity that I forgot to take a photo. Otherwise, if I hang the photo of shaking hands with your dad in my shop, the business will be much better."
"Hehehe..."
Chen Wanwan smiled and said, "In this case, you will receive a letter from my father's lawyer."
Seeing Chen Wanwan's smile again, I couldn't help but ask: "It's your birthday today, why do I feel like you are not happy?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Wanwan's expression suddenly dropped. It was obvious that she had something on her mind.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else."
Seeing a hint of sadness on Chen Wanwan's face, I quickly explained: "You think I didn't ask anything."
Chen Wanwan forced a smile and said, "It doesn't matter, it's actually my mother who is sick."
I suddenly remembered that today's birthday party only had a congratulatory message from Chen Qiuhong. It turned out that her mother was ill. It seemed that the reason why Chen Wanwan had been unhappy was because she was sorry that her mother could not come to the birthday party.
I poured a glass of juice for Chen Wanwan and said, "It's okay, Auntie will definitely get better. Life is so long. I can't come to your birthday today. When you are thirty or forty years old, you will definitely have a chance."
."
As soon as I finished speaking, I wanted to slap myself in the mouth. Don’t girls care about their age? I spoke without thinking, as if I was cursing Chen Wanwan to grow old quickly.
Sure enough, when Chen Wanwan heard what I said, she was obviously stunned and said, "You really don't know how to comfort people."
"Ahem...that...that..."
I hesitated, "Actually, what I mean is...
There will definitely be opportunities in the future, so don’t worry about it.”
Chen Wanwan lowered her head and said sadly: "My mother is very ill. Her health has never been good. After I was born, her health deteriorated day by day. When I was in middle school, she collapsed.
Even though I was in the hospital bed, I never got better. My father invited many experts, even the top medical teams in the United States, to treat my mother for a period of time, but she still didn’t get better. It continued like this. Two days ago, my mother’s condition
It started to get worse, and I originally wanted to cancel the birthday party, but many people have already notified me, so today I just want to celebrate my birthday as soon as possible and go to accompany my mother as soon as possible."
As she spoke, Chen Wanwan's eyes turned red. I didn't expect that her mother's condition was so serious. It was not difficult to guess from her words that her mother's current condition was very bad.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you this question." I quickly apologized.
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Wanwan gently wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I smiled and laughed all morning. Now that I have said it, I feel better. I also want to thank you for listening to me."
I couldn't find any words of comfort, and I regretted it very much. Why did I find something to do and bring up this topic? I could only say: "Don't be too sad. Nowadays, science and technology are so advanced, and the medical level is also very advanced. There will always be hope."
."
Chen Wanwan nodded, "I hope so. It would be great if we could find Master Shen. Maybe there is still hope for my mother's condition."
I'm a little dazed, Master! Master of fortune telling and divination!
Shouldn't you go to a doctor when you're sick? Shouldn't you go to the magic stick on the roadside that draws talismans, drinks water, and cures illnesses and misfortunes? Chen Wanwan is a person with higher education after all, so how can he believe in such a thing!
"You must never believe those so-called masters."
I quickly said: "It's been said in the news that they all take advantage of people's eagerness to cheat money. It's not bad to cheat money. The main thing is that the harm they cause is more heinous than cheating money. I saw a news before
, that man was also sick, so he invited a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest burned a talisman and put it in a tea cup for him to drink. As a result, the man's illness not only did not heal, but got worse. If the hospital had not rescued him in time, he would definitely have died.
."
Chen Wanwan brushed the bangs on his forehead and shook his head gently, "Master Shen is different from others. He is a real master. He was the one who took action and stabilized my mother's condition at that time, but he was just like the world."
Just like a foreigner, my father asked many connections to inquire about his whereabouts, but there was no news."
Looking at Chen Wanwan, I don’t understand. She is pretty and well-educated, but why can she act like a silly girl and refuse to listen to advice? After all, your father is also an intellectual with gold-rimmed glasses. You yourself
He is also a top student in college, so why would he believe in a charlatan?
"It's probably just a coincidence that he stabilized your mother's condition. We have to believe in science, otherwise what's the point of having a doctor."
I persuaded again: "By the way, a bad old man came into my shop yesterday. He was dressed like a human being and was clean.
He is wearing a Tang suit, with countless amounts of hair wax on his hair, which makes mosquitoes unable to stand. He also has a small braid on the back of his head, and a mustache hanging on his mouth, which looks like a swallow's tail. His mouth is full of big yellow teeth. He looks like that, it is extremely vulgar.
, I don’t even know how to describe it, and he wanted to trick me into buying his peace charm..."
Before I could finish speaking, Chen Wanwan frowned, looked at me with wide eyes, and said, "Does he have a scar on his eyebrow?"
After Chen Wanwan said this, I thought about it carefully and said, "There seems to be a gap in the middle of the left eyebrow, but I didn't pay attention to whether it was a scar."
"Wow!"
Chen Wanwan stood up suddenly, grabbed my sleeve, accidentally touched the table next to him, and the wine bottle and cup rolled to the floor, "Is he... is he... Master Shen..."
The movement was too big, and the people in the yard focused their attention for the third time. Seeing Chen Wanwan's excitement, I was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so I quickly said: "I...I don't know, I don't know him...
…Don’t get excited, he is just a charlatan, I am sure, he is definitely not a master!”
"Wanwan, what's going on?" A man wearing a white casual suit came over.
This man is in his early twenties, sunny and handsome. No need to think too much, he must be a rich man, because I have seen the limited edition watch in his hand in a magazine, which is worth more than 300,000 yuan.
"fine."
Chen Wanwan said to the man: "Wu Xuan, Ye Xiao and I have something to discuss. Can you step aside for a while?"
The man named Wu Xuan said: "I am your boyfriend. If there is anything you cannot let me know, I have no other intention. I am just afraid that you will be bullied."
Chen Wanwan's face turned cold instantly, "Wu Xuan, I never agreed to be your girlfriend. It was a decision made by our parents as a joke. Please leave now. I have something to discuss with Ye Xiao."
talk."
Wu Xuan nodded, but it could be seen that he was very unwilling to do so. When he turned to leave, he glanced at me with a look full of contempt and said, "Boy, please pay attention."
Damn it! Young Master, I have such a bad temper. You think it’s important to have a little money. You pointed at Wu Xuan and shouted loudly: "Pay attention! What are you looking at? I haven’t worn such trendy Spongebob clothes."
!How about I take it off, little master, and let you wear it for two days?"
What I dislike the most is such arrogant people. Anyway, I am not in this circle, and I don’t care about the shame, so I let go and prepared to fight.
"You two, stop arguing."
Chen Wanwan said anxiously: "No one should say a word, Wu Xuan, I will say it one last time, please leave!"
"Wanwan, what's going on here?" Chen Qiuhong suddenly appeared next to him, his face seemed a little gloomy, as if I had bullied his precious daughter.
Chen Wanwan said excitedly: "Dad, Ye Xiao said that he met a person yesterday, and that person looked very much like Master Shen."
