Chapter 62 Chapter 62 People coming and going at the hotel entrance...
There were people coming and going at the entrance of the hotel, and a man who stood out from the crowd was standing there abruptly.
Jin Man didn't want to join him in the fun. Seeing him looking at Yue Wei's cold and silent expression, he frowned and decisively took the child from Yue Wei. However, he really had nothing to say in his heart, so he raised his foot and walked inside.
"sorry."
Jin Man was stunned. He turned around in surprise, and Lu Yanlin was also looking at him.
Dark hair obscured his dark eyes. He exhaled a small, white breath, his voice hoarse and raspy, drifting ever so softly into his ears through the midwinter wind. "When we divorced... I shouldn't have said those words. I apologize."
Jin Man was in a daze for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, but he did not feel moved. Instead, he remembered those hurtful words, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
The only thing in this world that drives one soul closer to another is love.
Lu Yanlin enjoyed Jin Man's love, but ignored his needs.
Jin Man feels that the truth is sometimes cruel. If it were not for separation, he would never be able to experience or understand it, and no one could see through the hypocrisy, indifference, and selfishness behind the gorgeous mask. But in the final analysis, what is wrong with selfishness?
He thought about it in confusion. He had also met many bad people. Hurt and betrayal were very common. He could understand it, but he just couldn't let it go and forgive it.
"It's too windy outside, let's go in first."
Jin Man glanced at Yue Wei and held Duoduo's clothes tightly, fearing that he would catch a cold. He walked around Lu Yanlin and went into the hotel. When they passed each other, the corner of his clothes felt the gravity of falling, so he pulled his clothes back. The overly direct rejection made Lu Yanlin's face even paler.
Yue Wei gentlemanly pushed open the door of the hotel and reminded Jin Man to go inside first. Jin Man followed him out, leaving the man standing there, staring deeply at his back.
Everyone was lively at the dinner table, talking about their recent situation and life, and lamenting that it was not easy to earn money to support the family.
Besides their careers, men often show off their wives and children at the dinner table. The single Jin Man has become the focus of everyone's attention. He is handsome and clean, efficient at work, literate and hardworking. In the current market, he is also a very popular good man.
Even if you are divorced, it is not a big deal. You will always find the right one.
Life is about the daily necessities of life. Husband and wife fight and quarrel all the time. Isn't this just a little warmth that they strive for in their whole lives?
"What kind of person are you looking for? My wife works in a factory and knows a lot of people. I'm not exaggerating, as long as you're not looking for a prince or princess, or a beautiful fairy, I can arrange someone for you."
Jin Man lowered his eyes and listened. Forced into a corner, he awkwardly pushed the arm that was draped over him. Unable to push it away, he didn't struggle either. He said seriously, "Find someone you like."
"Oh, like? That's too broad a definition. Practicality is what's most important for a couple. Talking about love and affection all the time is more than an 80% chance of them breaking up halfway. Listen to me, find someone who's obedient, kind-hearted, and responsible, and you'll be together forever."
Jin Man smiled while holding the glass, revealing the dimples on his cheeks. He seemed ashamed to bring up this topic, and raised his glass to Zhou Yu stiffly: "Cheers, cheers."
Zhou Yu drank the glass of wine, hooked his stool over with his foot, and suddenly asked: "What's wrong?"
When Jin Man heard what he said, he realized that he had lost control of his expression while distracted. He rubbed his cheeks and forced a smile: "It's too cold. I'm freezing my teeth from laughing."
Zhou Yu flicked his forehead and said, "Are you kidding me?"
There was a wedding downstairs, firecrackers were popping, and the black luxury car was covered with red paper.
Yue Wei crossed his legs and played with his lighter. Zhou Yu asked him to light a cigarette. He leaned over to light it and walked over to the two of them with a calm expression.
"What are you looking at so intently?"
Jin Man covered his ears and resisted slightly: "Don't, don't talk in my ear."
Zhou Yu grabbed Yue Wei's neck and pulled him back. The cigarette ash fell on his arm, burning him. "You don't know how to sit properly. Your military posture and discipline have been eaten by dogs."
Yue Wei did not resist, but leaned back in his chair, looked out the window, propped up his chin and said, "What's there to envy about getting married?"
Zhou Yu looked at him coldly: "You are destined to be a bachelor in this life, and you can't bear to see others happy."
Yue Wei remained calm even when being ridiculed. He used to be the person who showed his emotions most clearly on his face. He was arrogant, capable, and courageous. He would do whatever he wanted or hated almost immediately. He was the biggest troublemaker Zhou Yu had ever met.
It certainly feels good to be so flamboyant and not give people a good face, but if you want to move up, you can't do whatever you want.
Since he changed his job, he has suffered a lot of setbacks, and he has lost both his dignity and reputation. He has been anxiously asking for help from others. His thinking has changed a long time ago. Whether in society or the army, to live well, one must stick to principles and be flexible. He did not understand Zhou Yu before, but now he does, and he has become the smiling tiger he hates the most.
He winked at Jin Man and said with a half-smile: "What's wrong with being single? Marriage is just about living together, it doesn't matter who you live with."
"If a piece of paper can guarantee a lifetime, where would I come from?"
Zhou Yu looked at him in surprise. Yue Wei's cheating parents were the sharpest thorn in his side. He never joked about his birth.
Jin Man didn't know, but when others expressed their opinions, he habitually listened and remained silent. That didn't mean he didn't care. It was difficult for people who didn't talk much to comfort others beautifully.
"You are very good and you will be happy in marriage."
Even without counting the favors he had given, Yue Wei was still a good person he had ever met. He was polite and tactful, straightforward when pursuing someone, and would not get angry or embarrassed if he gave up.
Unlike some people, who are like ghosts behind your back, appearing from time to time.
Jin Man's sigh was natural and unintentional, and the three of them all laughed. Yue Wei felt an inexplicable sense of relief. He cherished this atmosphere and didn't want to destroy it.
The children played together happily. Duoduo and the little kids were lying on the ground playing marbles, their faces flushed with excitement.
In a moment of carelessness, the marbles he hit rolled to the side of the stairs. He cried out and hurried to pick them up. When he stood up, the marbles in his pocket fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
The other kids screamed and rushed to pick it up. Duoduo was anxious: "No, no, it's mine."
He sat down on the marbles rolling all over the floor, and pecked at them like a vigilant sparrow.
Duoduo turned his face away and refused to acknowledge him. Suddenly, a force fell from his shoulder. He turned back and his eyes widened: "Lu Zhi."
The kid in a white suit frowned and asked unnaturally, "Why didn't you call me?"
"ah?"
Of course it’s because Duoduo forgot.
He had too many friends in kindergarten. At first, when Lu Zhi didn't go to kindergarten, he was disappointed for two days and soon forgot about it.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Zhi put his hands behind his back, looked around, and nodded slightly: "Just passing by."
"Oh, and your dad?"
Lu Zhi picked up a glass bead, the transparent bead sparkling with pearls: "He went to the manager's office and the discussion is probably almost over. I have a gift for you. Come on, come with me to the car to get it."
Steam rose from the hot pot as everyone ate and drank. Zhou Yu and Jin Man sat at the window seats. He lit a cigarette and handed it to Jin Man. Jin Man took two puffs and returned it to him. The three of them chatted while looking at the night view outside the window.
The door clicked open, and the owner of Juxianlou bent over and pushed it open. He greeted everyone with a smile and asked how their meal was. "Our chef has developed a few new dishes and brought them here for everyone to enjoy."
"How can this be so embarrassing? You're so polite."
Jin Man looked over and saw the tall man following behind the boss. His appetite was gone for a moment.
The boss has a wide circle of friends, and most of the people here are his friends. After a few words, they sat down with drinks.
He pulled out two chairs, wiped them clean, and asked the young man next to him to sit down. The drunk men then used their brains and looked carefully at the person the boss treated so seriously.
I've seen many good-looking people, but few people like this.
Everyone in the room suddenly became quiet, and the hot pot was bubbling.
The boss was busy serving the dishes, not letting the atmosphere get cold. Plate after plate of dishes were brought in like water. The unfinished hot pot on the table instantly became leftovers, stuck in the middle.
Some people stared and looked at the boss suspiciously, wondering if he was giving him two side dishes to enjoy.
The boss smiled and raised a glass of wine: "Meeting is fate, the wind chills the blood, the wine warms the heart, I'll drink first."
Zhou Yu looked at it for a while, then pulled the waiter and said with a smile: "Please add two pairs of chopsticks and another ten pounds of Shaobai."
Jin Man looked at the table full of dishes, his heart clenched. Just as he was about to stand up and leave, a pair of big hands pressed him down on the shoulders.
"Leaving what?"
Zhou Yu picked up a piece of pork elbow with chopsticks and put it in his bowl, then dusted off the cigarette ash with one hand and said, "Eat well and drink well."
Yue Wei narrowed his eyes and glanced at him without saying a word. He silently rinsed the two small bowls clean and placed them on the table. The people around him couldn't help but notice this and started to make a noise. The boss was slightly stunned and tried to smooth things over: "Hey, Xiao Zhouyu, you are trying to knock me down."
Zhou Yu also smiled. He was tall and had a ruffian look on his face. He put his arm around his brother's shoulder, said nothing, and turned his bowl upside down, making a gesture as if he didn't want to drink and was asked to leave.
Jin Man raised his eyes and saw Lu Yanlin looking straight at him across a table of people. He had never seen such a situation before.
Lu Yanlin stood up quickly, and the windbreaker brought a gust of cold wind.
He pushed away his boss who tried to stop him and turned the upside-down bowl over.
Zhou Yu looked at him with disdain. He was smiling more than usual. He picked up the bucket of Shaobai, filled two small bowls, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. He smiled and said, "Please."
