Chapter 43: World 3 Chapter 41
Chapter 41.
The two old people sitting by the window are not here for the first time. They are regular customers. Because they have a lot of money, they will go out for a meal from time to time. For the two of them, their current life is quite good. Raising flowers and playing with cats, the only worry is that their thirty-three-year-old son has not been able to start a family. In order to get a satisfactory daughter-in-law, they put a lot of effort into this.
For family, no need.
Even those with average looks don't want it.
They wanted to find a woman whose family and appearance matched their son, but no one was willing to have further contact with He Wen. The introducer was puzzled. After asking the women, they got a unanimous answer, saying He Wen is only suitable to be friends, forget him as a husband.
In desperation, they could only lower the conditions.
As locals, they have the xenophobia that many people have, so they are not very fond of Lu Yanwan, a girl from outside the country. She came out to work hard at a young age, and now she is the lobby manager. She has a good career, but she also seems to be a philistine and shrewd person and knowing that she had a younger brother at home, they completely gave up the idea of looking at her.
But things didn't go as they wished, and after all the trouble they decided on Lu Yanwan. They pushed their son to go on a blind date with Lu Yanwan, but they didn't know whether the outcome was good or bad. They just asked their son and got an okay answer.
That's all. It gave the old man hope of his son getting married.
They waited and waited, thinking that there would be some other development, but little did they know that their son was still busy working all day long, and there was still nothing left from his monthly salary. They were anxious, thinking that there was nothing wrong with having a shrewd woman to control their son. At least she would not let their stupid son scatter all the money.
So, they came to see Lu Yanwan in person, thinking that since the first blind date was pleasant, why not go on another date?
They came looking for Lu Yanwan for several days in a row. Usually, Lu Yanwan didn't show up at all. Even if they wanted to talk to Lu Yanwan, they couldn't find a chance.
When Lu Yanwan came to work today, she got a message from the deputy manager and knew that these two old people had come to her door again.
Lu Yanwan was speechless and choked. She thought she had made it clear enough. She told them that the first blind date was enough to know whether they were suitable for each other. She also said that she had no plans to get married at the moment. Who knew that an elderly man's stubbornness could really kill someone? Lu Yanwan retorted that since the first blind date didn't work, then let's have a second blind date, maybe it would work?
They changed their tune quickly, changed the date to a blind date, and blindly urged Lu Yanwan to give He Wen a try again.
He Wen is their biological son, no one can compare with him.
But in Lu Yanwan's eyes, this man He Wen is really useless. Going on a blind date with him again is a complete waste of time. Besides, she still has unresolved worries. That little girl Tangli doesn't know where she learned cold violence. She is so angry. Lu Yanwan really wanted to spank her a few times. But Lu Yanwan felt guilty, so she was willing to do this. Apart from looking at her phone eagerly every day, she would drive to the school gate to be in a daze, as if she could see Tangli in this way.
Probably because God favored her, an opportunity for her to meet Tangli fell from the sky.
The store received a call early. It was a call to reserve a private room in advance, saying that it was a birthday. At that time, Lu Yanwan saw the names and contact information written down by the employees, and suddenly remembered that Tang Li seemed to have a classmate with that name.
She picked up the pen and couldn't help but write Tangli's name on the paper, and drew a circle, as if she was sure that Tangli couldn't escape.
Lu Yanwan tore it off and put it in her pocket, and told the chef to make the birthday banquet more elaborate.
Although she had maintained a smile these days, she was somewhat absent-minded. But after seeing Fang Ruxin's name, Lu Yanwan suddenly had an idea.
Since she has been hiding herself from seeing her, let her burn the fire a little brighter.
For the first time, she came out to meet He Wen's parents. Before that, Lu Yanwan made a special call to Fang Ruxin, hoping that she could come to the store early to choose the dishes in the set menu. If she couldn't decide what dish to choose, she could ask Tangli to help her.
The awkwardness between Lu Yanwan and Tang Li was naturally unknown to others. Even Fang Ruxin, her roommate, couldn't stare at Tang Li every day, so she didn't notice anything strange between Tang Li and Lu Yanwan.
From that phone call, Fang Ruxin stupidly jumped into the trap dug by Lu Yanwan.
She happily brought Tangli to this store, and Tangli also met Lu Yanwan and the two old people.
It has to be said that the time was just right and everyone gathered together.
Lu Yanwan looked at Tangli who was standing not far away, with a smile on her lips, as if she could drown people in her tenderness.
She bent down and said politely to He Wen's parents: "Uncle and aunt, friends are coming, and I have to go and get busy. I envy Mr. He to have parents who love him so much. After all, you are elders, I, a junior, am too embarrassed to decline you again. Well, for the sake of my uncle and aunt's love and concern for their children, we will still be at the same coffee shop at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and I will arrive as scheduled."
When Father He heard Lu Yanwan's words, he always felt uncomfortable. He felt that it would be good for a foreign woman to be attracted by a local, but she was actually unwilling to do so. As expected, the cultural level is not high and everything is done with a petty attitude.
He didn't say anything, but his wife He Mu smiled kindly. She patted Lu Yanwan's hand and said, "Okay, okay, we will listen to you when you make your decision. Yanwan, go get busy, don't waste time here with us two old guys."
Lu Yanwan didn't care about Father He's attitude. She nodded politely and forgot about the two of them.
"Old He, who are you slandering? Your son is not married now, but Lu Yanwan is not married! Put away that disappointed look on your face. Do you think Lu Yanwan doesn't see it? She just doesn't want to. The matter was too embarrassing, so I didn't say anything. I really owe you and my son in my previous life. If you don't have the ability, you will do some unreasonable things!"
Father He wanted to refute, but looked at his wife's cold eyes and swallowed his complaint.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Lu Yanwan is a businesswoman. There is no reason to push customers away. There are so many people in the hall. If there is a quarrel with the He family, it will affect the efficiency. So He's mother stays with the smiling face, so Lu Yanwan also won't make her unable to get down the stairs.
In fact, Lu Yanwan was extremely upset. If she hadn't been able to see Tang Li today, she really wouldn't have planned to say anything to these two old people who couldn't understand human speech. But seeing that they were still valuable, Lu Yanwan was in a good mood and chatted with them patiently.
Until, Tangli appeared.
Lu Yanwan stood leisurely in front of Tangli. She looked even more beautiful after not seeing her for many days. At least she didn't have the same dark circles under her eyes that a pair of makeup could not hide like Lu Yanwan.
Lu Yanwan touched Tangli's cheek and talked, but in fact she was thinking: This little heartless girl must have been sleeping well recently.
She carefully studied the changes in Tangli's expression. When she saw the shock and panic she showed, Lu Yanwan suppressed the urge to raise the corners of her lips.
It seems that the fire is burning well.
She waited patiently for Tang Li to respond to her, her face unchanged and her heart not beating. It seemed that her confession a few days ago was a lie but could not be taken as true, and what she said today was Lu Yanwan's sincerity.
When Tang Li saw the soft smile on her face, a nameless anger rushed to Tianling Gai, and she wanted to tear off Lu Yanwan's ugly smile with her hands.
Tang Li stared at Lu Yanwan with resentment in her eyes, her eyebrows became more and more animated, and the angry beauty had a unique charm.
She forced a smile and gritted her teeth and said, "I'm definitely going. How can I miss such an important thing? If I'm not going to see it for you, I have to go for my tutor, Teacher He."
Tang Li obviously also grasped Lu Yanwan's vitality. She picked up the knife and stabbed Lu Yanwan in the heart without showing any signs of weakness. After all, she had been stabbed by Lu Yanwan before. At this time, Tangli doesn't care about caring for each other. What she wants is to hurt each other.
I have to say that these angry words are really hurtful. Tangli has done something like killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to herself.
Lu Yanwan turned away when she heard the sound, hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, and pretended to talk to Wu Cuicui, who was standing behind her at the front desk, and said: "Cui Cui, please help me entertain these two first. I suddenly remembered that I seemed have forgotten something, I have to go back to the office."
Wu Cuicui hesitated to speak, looking at her red eyes, and finally nodded and said: "Manager, go ahead and do your work. I will entertain your friends well."
This was the first time that Lu Yanwan lost her composure in front of her colleagues. This made Wu Cuicui, who had always regarded Lu Yanwan as the goddess of war, very uneasy. She looked at Lu Yanwan's back and subconsciously said to Tangli: "What were you talking about just now? Why do I feel the manager seemed to be crying."
Lu Yanwan, who is invincible in Wu Cuicui's heart, is actually a strong woman in Tang Li's heart. She is positive and tries her best to bloom in the immature city where she was born, and to be born towards the sun.
Society has smoothed away all her edges, but it cannot make her give up her hope in life.
She is an extremely docile and kind-hearted woman. No matter what Tang Li say or did in the past, Lu Yanwan always smiled.
But she is like this, and her eyes are moist today.
Tangli, who just thought she had won the battle, suddenly became confused. She bit her lip. Before she could think about it, her body had already made its decision.
She ran towards Lu Yanwan, leaving Wu Cuicui at a loss and Fang Ruxin who seemed to have noticed something but didn't know where to start.
Wu Cuicui stumbled and said, "Why...why are you leaving again?"
Fang Ruxin touched her chin meaningfully. As someone who had witnessed everything just now, Fang Ruxin didn't feel anything was wrong at first, but with Lu Yanwan's different expression and Tang Li's nervous look, she guessed that she might have found a big secret that is about to be unearthed.
"No wonder my bad friends can't do what Lu Yanwan does."
It turns out...that's what happened.
"Okay, stop looking at them. They will probably be busy later. You can accompany me to pick out the dishes first. There are indeed some dishes in your birthday set that I don't like very much. I need to change some of them. It's the taste that my roommate likes to eat."
Wu Cuicui was very enterprising and patted her chest and said, "Okay, I'll take you to pick out other dishes first. There are sample dishes prepared in advance for you to choose from."
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Lu Yanwan was very familiar with the environment in the store. She walked quickly, even though she was wearing high heels, but she was not very slow, this is something she learned while working.
Tangli trotted, but she was too stubborn to call out Lu Yanwan's name to ask her to stop, so she could only follow.
When Tangli climbed the stairs, she couldn't find Lu Yanwan when she looked up.
She could only rely on the feeling in her memory and went to Lu Yanwan's office.
Just as Tangli walked forward, the door to the storage room opened and she was pulled in.
Lu Yanwan pushed her against the door and asked with red eyes, "Are you looking for me?"
Tangli's anger weakened unconsciously in her tears. Tangli glanced at Lu Yanwan and lowered her head.
"I've been very ambitious this week. No matter how many calls I make or WeChat messages I send, you just ignore me as if you've blocked me."
Lu Yanwan said dejectedly: "Are you still blaming me for forcibly kissing you that time?"
"You kissed me without my consent. Can't I be angry anymore?"
Tang Li had something to say at this time.
Lu Yanwan grabbed her shoulders and whispered: "Of course you can be angry, you can even hit me and scold me. But you can't use cold violence against me. I would rather you stab me to death than use this kind of method."
Tang Li said confidently: "I didn't treat you coldly or violently!"
"Then why didn't you reply to my message or answer my phone call?"
Tang Li kicked the toe of her shoe and retorted: "If I don't want to answer, don't want to reply."
Lu Yanwan laughed angrily at her attitude, "Isn't this just cold violence?"
"Oh."
Lu Yanwan took a deep breath. The good temper and good attitude she had cultivated for many years were completely useless when facing Tangli, and completely failed.
She let go of her hand, backed away, and said, "Then why are you following me now?"
"It's nothing, I just want to ask you when I will go on a blind date with you."
She was so stubborn that she refused to admit that she was worried about Lu Yanwan, as if she couldn't control her momentum even if she admitted it.
Lu Yanwan curled her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes. She crossed her arms and stepped on the ground with the tips of her high heels, making noises one after another, which made people feel upset and irritated.
Tangli looked towards her side along the source of the sound, pursed her lips, and said, "You keep moving your feet, don't you want to kick me?"
Lu Yanwan's voice was gentle and soft, like a lover's murmur, and said: "How could it be? It's too late for me to love you, so how could I be willing to hurt you."
Although these words were words of love, when combined with Lu Yanwan's expression at the moment, they sounded inexplicably murderous.
Tangli shrank her neck, trying to shrink her body. She said, "Anyway, you were the one who was at fault. I'm just punishing you for a week."
Lu Yanwan smiled and said: "Yes, I was wrong, so I am willing to be punished."
Tangli raised her eyebrows proudly.
At this time, Lu Yanwan chose to approach her again.
Warm fingers pinched Tangli's chin, forcing her and Lu Yanwan to look at each other.
The redness in Lu Yanwan's eyes has not faded away, because the moisture in her eyes made her look more fragile than before. She said: "At three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I will see you at the coffee shop where we first met."
Tangli couldn't help but frown and blurted out: "Are you really going to go on a blind date with him?"
It's still the same coffee shop. Did Lu Yanwan do it on purpose or something?
Lu Yanwan smiled sadly, holding on to prevent the tears from falling, and said: "Why not? Anyway, his parents have a good impression of me, and he and I have no love, so it would be wrong to marry anyone. I, an older leftover girl, usually I was urged to get married by people around me or relatives in my hometown. If they knew that I was in love and married with a local high school teacher, they would be extremely happy. As for whether I like the person I marry, that doesn't matter at all. For me, blind date marriage is to filter out those who are not suitable for marriage, and those who remain are suitable."
She caught Tangli's right hand hanging by her side, and there was no longer any redness or swelling from the burn. Then she passed her fingertips and clasped Tangli's fingers with relief, saying, "This is the last time."
This is the last time holding hands.
Lu Yanwan looked at Tangli with a smile and said solemnly: "Tangli, I'm really sorry. I apologize to you again for the inappropriate behavior I did last time. Maybe from tomorrow we will never be the same again, but I have to say the apology I should make again. Tomorrow we are just friends, so you can give me some advice then. Forget about this man He Wen as soon as possible, there will be someone better waiting for you. "
"I don't.."
I do not like him.
Tang Li held back what she wanted to say. She couldn't help but grasp Lu Yanwan's fingers tightly and looked at her silently.
However, Lu Yanwan let go of her hand and pushed Tangli out of the storage room. She had already put away the embarrassment and crying in her eyes. Except for her eyes being a little red, there was nothing else strange about her.
Lu Yanwan adjusted her cuffs and collar and said, "I have to go and get busy. See you tomorrow."
Tangli stood there blankly, all the programs in her mind collapsed.
She...is this how they ended?
It's over before it even begins?
[Isn't this great? The plot is back and Tangtang doesn't need to change her character. The most important thing is that the mission will not fail! ]
Tangli knew that what 001 said was very right.
Points are extremely important to taskers. She is ranked first. If she gets 50,000 more points, she will be at the top, and no one will be able to catch up with her.
But, why couldn't I be happy at all?
Lu Yanwan walked very fast, and she forced herself not to look back or be soft-hearted.
She wiped away her tears, her eyes brighter than ever.
Love is like a battlefield, you must not relax, she will win, she will definitely win.
For the next time, Tangli was confused. When others laughed, she also pursed her lips. She had no interest in thinking about what others said.
The warm private room made her dizzy, so Tangli missed the cold wind outside. At least she could wake up by blowing the wind.
Tangli was out of state. After the birthday party, the group had enough to eat and drink, and it was time to go their separate ways.
Fang Ruxin knew a little more than others. She saw that everyone else had gone to drive, and now they were the only two, so she stood next to Tangli and said, "You two haven't reconciled yet."
Tangli came back to her senses and nodded.
"It doesn't look like you don't care about her. What kind of hatred can the two of you have to deserve this? Well, since you have her in your heart, why should you have this stalemate?"
Tangli's eyes widened, and then she returned to her original state.
Fang Ruxin asked her to turn around, pointing to the still bright and busy shop door and said: "I still remember the last time we came here, she was standing there looking at you, so don't fight her awkwardly. Say hello. Now, you are enjoying the cold wind, but she has disappeared."
"Oh, why did I forget that I always encourage division and not reconciliation, hahahaha. I was just talking nonsense, so don't take it to heart."
Tangli gave her an elbow in annoyance and said, "Who said we two should separate."
Although the method of motivating generals is old-fashioned, it is more effective.
"Okay, madam, get in the car, don't stand there, there is no one standing there waiting for you this time."
Tang Li curled her lips and said, "I don't care about it."
After she got into the car, she couldn't help but look out the window.
People were coming and going there, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Tangli closed her eyes in disappointment and complained: "Sister is not good at all."
She has become bad.
Humph.
*
Today's weather is just like Tangli's mood. The strong wind is mixed with rain and snow, which makes people's faces hurt.
Tangli sat in the car, looking at the time and upstairs.
She was waiting for Lu Yanwan, so she was still patient.
Suddenly, Lu Yanwan came over holding an umbrella. She was holding the transparent umbrella that Tangli had left at home. She knocked on the car window and then unscrewed the car door.
She couldn't help but remind Tang Li of the first time she saw her.
A smile appeared on Tangli's face, but she soon heard Lu Yanwan say: "Yesterday I packed my things and found your umbrella. I remember you said it was broken, but I looked at it and it didn't seem broken."
Tangli held the steering wheel tightly and said vaguely: "Maybe it will repair itself."
The reason why I left the umbrella at her house was to find an excuse to meet her in the future. At least this excuse was not that outrageous. Who knew that this excuse would not work.
Lu Yanwan was sitting in the passenger seat, and a smell came over her. It was obvious that she had sprayed perfume today, and Tangli also noticed that Lu Yanwan's makeup was particularly delicate. Even the lipstick had never been applied before, and it looked like she had bought it newly.
Tangli felt so sore in her heart that she wanted to bite her back molars into pieces.
"Lu Yanwan, you are so cruel."
Even if you let me accompany you on a blind date, you dress up so beautifully for He Wen!
A big living person like me is breathing next to you and I'm not dead yet!
