Chapter 097
Jiang Zhongyi felt more and more bored, and frowned and said to the middle-aged woman: "My mother, let's go back."
"Yafen, I'm so embarrassed to let you laugh at it." Lei Weihong pulled Fu Yafen, who had already stood up, and said as she saw the mother and son out of the door.
When Lei Weihong returned, Meng Jin said politely: "Auntie, I have said goodbye too."
"No." Lei Weihong replied to him lightly, watching his daughter and Meng Jinxing arrive at the door together, and then sang, "Yun Yao, I'll have to catch a plane later, so I'll say a few less words."
"I understand!" Lei Yunyao responded and pushed Meng Jinxing to the door together.
"You want to go out?" Meng Jinxing asked.
"Well, my mother's classmate's daughter married a Hong Kong businessman, so we'll go to Hong Kong for a wedding banquet." Lei Yunyao looked up at him, "After I come back from Hong Kong, let's go to Dujiang, right?"
Meng Jinxing forced out a little smile and said, "It depends on the situation. I'm very busy recently. If I hadn't heard that you were sick, I would have returned to Sangyu long ago."
"Work is important, and life is also important!" Lei Yunyao was in a good mood at this moment and did not notice Meng Jinxing's forced smile.
"I have never heard of you and Mu Xiaotian before." He said.
Lei Yunyao giggled, "I will not tell you on purpose."
"Why?" He looked at her in surprise.
"Because you are classmates!" She smiled brightly, "Do you remember when we first met, you asked me how I knew you were a top student at Yan University?"
Meng Jinxing nodded and still looked at her.
"You must think I knew it because of my dad." She said, "Actually, I only knew that you were from Yan University. After asking Mu Xiaotian, I realized that you were a stolen person when you were studying. Yan University didn't know that there were not many of you, and you volunteered to go back to the southwest."
Meng Jinxing smiled bitterly, yes, he was voluntary, and Mu Xiaotian said it very appropriately.
"Why are you doing this?" Lei Yunyao finally noticed his expression, "Is it because he wants to explain the situation to Uncle Mu? Don't do this, anyway, you and Xiaotian are classmates, and Uncle Mu is kind, so he will understand us. Besides, Xiaotian and I are nothing!"
Meng Jinxing gritted his teeth and looked directly at Lei Yunyao and said, "Yunyao, my relationship with you does not need to be explained to anyone, especially those who are irrelevant."
Lei Yunyao was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"I..." He said ruthlessly and quickly, "I don't think we need to explain to Mu Xinhua."
Lei Yunyao stared at him with wide eyes and then muttered for a long time: "Didn't you hear what my mother said just now?"
Meng Jinxing nodded.
"Since you hear it, you should know that this is not an explanation to Uncle Mu. To put it bluntly, it is to make my mother feel at ease!" Lei Yunyao suddenly raised his voice. She didn't expect that Meng Jinxing was unwilling to do such a simple thing.
Meng Jinxing swallowed, took her hand and said, "Yun Yao, I said that as long as you love me, we will sooner or later move your mother. Although she put forward this condition today, isn't it already looser than the blind opposition? Let's be patient, I believe that she will accept our love unconditionally one day."
Lei Yunyao shook off his hand and said aggrievedly: "Don't you just go and tell Uncle Mu, as for you to be so persistent? My mother is willing to take a step back, why don't you retreat? Meng Jinxing, I really doubt whether you love me?"
"Yun Yao..." Meng Jinxing walked closer to her, trying to hold her back again.
Lei Yunyao quickly retreated, "Don't get close to me! We can be together faster and justified, but you insist on making everyone unhappy. What are you thinking?"
Meng Jinxing bit his lips and looked up at the sky.
He didn't know how to explain to her the past of his and the Mu family father and son, some grudges that could be clearly perceived but could never see through.
His silence made Lei Yunyao even more sad. In anger, he simply threw him away and turned home.
"Bang--"
The heavy sound of closing the door hit Meng Jinxing's heart, causing a faint pain in his chest.
He dragged his heavy legs back to the car, opened the window, silently smoked a cigarette, started the car, and drove away from Xiaobai Building.
After a few laps in Shanghai, Ford stopped at the antique street. At the intersection, a pair of young people hugged each other and whispered in the whispers as if no one was around.
Meng Jinxing looked at the long alley and the young man who was fond of you and me, and felt a little sad.
When people are in love, they are in love, but the situation is so different.
After thinking about it carefully, since he met Lei Yunyao, everything came together like a natural result. He was moved by her, but more of it was her who dominated the progress of their relationship. In this process, it seemed that there was always more quarrel than sweetness.
He was thinking so, and he was dazed. It took him a long time to hear someone slap the car window. He turned his face and found that Liu Aijiao's anxious face was reflected outside the car window.
He immediately put down the car window and heard Liu Aijiao ask anxiously: "I have been taking pictures for so long, but you haven't reacted. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm impressed by thinking about something." His voice unconsciously showed fatigue, "Are you back from outside?"
"Well, I went to the Health Bureau." Liu Aijiao looked at him again for a while, stood up and said, "Go in and sit for a while. I have taken over it until now, and you have never seen it."
Meng Jinxing nodded and closed the window and got out of the car, locked the door and walked side by side with her.
"Are you still used to it?" He had nothing to say.
"It's pretty good." Liu Aijiao smiled at him, "Sister Yaqin often comes back and teaches me some business methods. I have also signed up for the training class of the Health Bureau and am studying traditional Chinese medicine courses."
"It seems quite fulfilling." Meng Jinxing looked at her with relief, just as he met her bright gaze.
"I have to thank you and Sister Yaqin for this! If it weren't for you, I might have been ruined in this life." She said sincerely, "God treats me well, and loses something and gains."
Her words made Meng Jinxing happy, "If you think like this, it means you have let go, and I am happy for you!"
"Haha, at that time, I cook a few dishes and we drink a cup to celebrate my rebirth?"
"OK!"
While they were talking, they had already stepped into the Shan Family Pharmacy. The employees greeted Liu Aijiao and only looked at Meng Jinxing with calm eyes. Liu Aijiao wanted to invite everyone to introduce Meng Jinxing, but was immediately stopped by him, "This is great. I don't want others to know that they have such a business."
Liu Aijiao looked at him strangely, but did not insist. She took him to her office, made tea and let him watch it casually, and she went to cook.
"I'll go with you." Meng Jinxing looked around at the office, feeling no sense of belonging.
"What are you going to do? It's a hindrance." Liu Aijiao smiled.
"Don't underestimate people," Meng Jinxing rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm still very good at cooking."
"Really?" Liu Aijiao raised her baby-fat face and looked at him. A playful smile flashed in the deer's eyes, "Then I'll help you. Do you dare to go to the stove today?"
"Hey, I really think I'm looking at you with admiration for three days. I'm obviously bold in speaking!" Meng Jinxing walked out with a smile.
Liu Aijiao followed behind and said softly: "Otherwise, what else would you be reborn!"
The two entered the small canteen in the backyard of Shan's Pharmacy. This was originally the kitchen of the Wu family. After Liu Aijiao took over, she connected the two wing rooms next to her to transform an employee canteen, and cooked for everyone in person every day.
The two of them were talking and laughing and washing vegetables and cooking. Seeing Liu Aijiao's shadow sweeping over, laughing again, her light body ran around in front of her, Meng Jinxing suddenly felt a warm feeling, without a strong mood fluctuation, but a faint warm flow.
After cooking the big pot of dishes for the pharmacy staff, the two made a few small stir-fry and returned to the office with two bottles of big chorizo.
Liu Aijiao didn't know how to drink, but she also took a cup and poured some of it. She accompanied Meng Jinxing to take a few sips, mainly to honor him and express her gratitude that has been hidden in her heart.
Meng Jinxing was pretending to be in his heart, and it would be fine if he didn't drink. As soon as he drank, all his sorrows were aroused, and he felt sad. After drinking, he insisted on pulling Liu Aijiao to the roof and drinking at the moon.
When Liu Aijiao knocked on the window glass at the entrance of the alley, she felt that Meng Jinxing was in a trance today. Now she was even more sure of her thoughts, so she accompanied him to the roof without saying a word.
The Wu family and daughter are very knowledgeable about enjoying life. When the Wuji cottage was renovated, the entire roof was transformed by them. There were all rockery pavilions and water pavilions, which were quite like the style of Jiangnan gardens. Although Liu Aijiao rarely came up after taking over, she really liked the uniqueness of the roof, so this part of the decoration was preserved as it was.
Meng Jinxing sat in the pavilion holding the bottle in his hand, drinking the wine in big mouthfuls, letting the spicy wine burn all the way through his throat and landing on his stomach, causing a burning sensation of burning fire.
Seeing him drinking like this, Liu Aijiao was a little panicked. She couldn't help but step forward and hold the bottle and advised: "If you have something to say, you can't pour yourself like this, as it will damage your body!"
He looked at Liu Aijiao with blood-red eyes open, imagining that if Lei Yunyao stood in front of him at this moment, would she persuade him like this?
Yes, sure!
He thought about this and smiled, gently broke free from Liu Aijiao's hand, and took another big sip.
"Minister, you really don't want to drink it!" Liu Aijiao held the bottle at the same time with both hands, and used all her strength to snatch the bottle out of his hand. "Don't you know that the more you drink, the more you worry?"
Meng Jinxing was taken away from the bottle and had no intention of snatching it back. He waved his hand and stood up, shook it to the roof railing, looked up at the sky and breathed a long sigh, and said nothing for a long time.
Liu Aijiao was heartbroken to see it. She put down the bottle and walked to him. She raised her hand and covered it on the back of his hand, looking at him quietly.
She didn't know why he was so worried. She was not a person who could speak. She didn't know how to relieve him. Apart from holding his hand to convey her comfort, she didn't know what else she could do for him?
When Liu Aijiao's hand touched the back of his hand, he shook his whole body. The night before Wu Han came to Sangyu, these gentle hands had helped him spend a drunken night. He almost thought it was Wu Yaqin's hand...
