Chapter 16 Worry
"What? They're each other's first love? Did your new boss really say that about Jiang Jin and his girlfriend?"
Han nodded and snorted, "That's corny enough."
Zhou Wenwen widened her eyes, sighing, unable to hide her disgust, "Damn, Jiang Jin is already quite old, and he can still say such sweet words that can fool people. He really has no shame in being thick-skinned."
Han shook his head.
She thought she had already understood Jiang Jin's coldness and ruthlessness, but she didn't expect that his bottom line was beyond her cognition.
Since the evening yoga class couldn't be held, Han made an appointment to meet Zhou Wenwen.
Zhou Wenwen took her to a familiar bar. The lights were dim and the music was lingering. On the stage, the low notes played by the saxophone were like feathers gently brushing against her heart.
Han lowered his head and drank.
"Then what was his reaction? Did he just agree?" Zhou Wenwen was very curious about Jiang Jin's reaction, and she was a little skeptical in her heart.
"How could he react? In front of the rich lady he's hooking up with, could he say, 'No, my first love is Han Que'... Ha, do you think he could?" Han Que smiled instead, took a sip of the mojito in the glass, supported his chin with one hand, and gently shook the liquid in the glass with the other hand.
Jiang Jin's reaction was as if he had been punched, or as if he was dodging something. He immediately turned his back and looked at Gu Ningli.
To outsiders, that expression showed the shyness and timidity of a couple.
But in Han Que's opinion, he was too embarrassed to look at him.
"He was looking at Miss Gu with deep affection."
"I know he wouldn't, but he wouldn't do it in front of you..." Zhou Wenwen sighed, "I've always thought he was a good young man with excellent character and academic performance, and he's upright and serious."
"Excellent in both character and study, upright and serious?" Han sneered. "I held back for a long time before I managed to pull him over and ask him who was better in bed, me or this Miss Gu? At that time, he told me in person that I was the first woman in his life and that he would never forget me no matter what."
Then he spat, "Damn it, men's mouths are full of lies."
Zhou Wenwen was stunned for a long time before she reacted: "You..." She pointed at her, "You slept with him?"
"Yes." Han nodded. She drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and put the glass on the table with a thud.
"Did you really sleep over it?" Zhou Wenwen couldn't help but raise her voice.
Everyone around looked over, but Han glared at her speechlessly and made a "hushing" gesture. "Why are you shouting?" He rolled his eyes and sneered in a low voice. "We slept together, so what's the big deal? I'm already this old, do you still think I'm a virgin?"
"I haven't heard you say that before." Zhou Wenwen was embarrassed. She moved closer to Han Que and asked in a low voice, "When did it happen? Didn't you break up a long time ago? You still..." She thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Then, how old were you then?"
"How old?" Han tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Eighteen years old, right? He's an adult anyway."
"Wow, you're really good." Zhou Wenwen leaned back in her chair, and when she thought about how she had been kept in the dark, she felt unwilling to accept it: "I haven't even heard you mention it."
"Do I really need to tell the world about this?" Han was speechless. "Besides, we've already broken up. What else can I say?"
"Oh, back then..." Zhou Wenwen couldn't help but sigh, "Aunt Liu kept such a tight rein on you. She never imagined that right under her nose, you, this juicy little cabbage, would silently wither away."
Han shrugged, "That's because she controls everything about me. She even doesn't let me watch foreign romance movies. This only aroused my curiosity and desire to explore the opposite sex. Everything has its own limits."
Liu Suping was strict, but she and Jiang Jin were neighbors and lived in the same yard, so they had unique spatial and time conditions.
During the summer vacation after Han Que took the college entrance examination, Jiang Jin returned to his grandmother's house from the university dormitory. Taking advantage of the time when his grandmother went to the community chess and card room to play mahjong every afternoon, he and Han Que squeezed on Jiang Jin's single bed and explored each other's bodies hungrily.
In the yard, the old locust tree casts a thick shade, and the sound of cicadas in the deep green shade covers the two people's heavy breathing and moans. The wind blows the curtains, occasionally lifting a corner, and vaguely sees their intertwined limbs. The sweat on the mat mixes together, sticking to their skin.
Jiang Jin's hot lips slid down her snow-white neck and stopped at the red plum tree that stood proudly on the top of the snow-white mountain, which was as white as snow and as red as fire.
It was the prime of life, spring was in full bloom, and the beautiful scene was still before his eyes, but he said that he and that young lady were his first love.
Pooh.
Then what is she?
Is he a sex buddy or a freeloader?
Han was resentful.
She said to Zhou Wenwen, "I've never regretted my relationship with Jiang Jin. After all, love doesn't have the same rewards as the rewards for the effort. We can't pursue fairness and justice. But now, the evidence is being destroyed. The harm isn't great, but the insult is extremely high. I wasn't a prostitute he used for free back then."
Zhou Wenwen sighed, "What he said is really excessive, and it's not fair to his current girlfriend... And what's the big deal about admitting he's been in a relationship before? What era is this? Does this Miss Gu still care if her husband is a virgin? Oh, no, she should care if he has had a girlfriend before? Oh my god, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year."
"Who knows? Maybe it's just her hobby. She requires her future son-in-law to have a simple love history and a clean body. If medically possible, she'd probably test for virginity to avoid being scammed." Han, remembering Gu Ningli's demeanor, paused and said sarcastically, "Otherwise, why would she be looking for a Phoenix Man?"
Zhou Wenwen nodded in agreement.
She remembered hearing Zhou Hongbin say the day before yesterday, "Han Que actually has a boyfriend named Jiang Jin. I ran into him at a restaurant, and he brought a girlfriend who looked rich."
Zhou Wenwen didn't believe it at first. She said, "Doesn't Jiang Jin work in some internationally renowned investment bank? Why would he give up such a promising future and come back?"
Zhou Hongbin said that it was definitely a high-ranking job and more profitable than working in investment banking.
Zhou Wenwen was so angry that she called Han Que several times on impulse. Later she remembered that she was attending Lu Xiaoping's birthday party.
She looked at Han Que's bright face and was quite worried: "Han Que, what are you going to do next?"
Han was lost in thought, his mind wandering: "What should I do?"
"You and Jiang Jin work in the same company, and he has a girlfriend who's a shareholder. You have to deal with this couple every day. Just thinking about it is more melodramatic than a skit."
Zhou Wenwen didn't know about Gu Ningwei, but Han didn't mention it to her.
"Nothing, what can I do?" Han paused and shrugged. "Isn't there a saying? As long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. I'm not worried, others will be worried. Jiang Jin should be more worried than me."
Zhou Wenwen said, "What if they want to make things difficult for you? Since Jiang Jin said that he and that rich girl were each other's first love, he doesn't want others to know about your previous relationship. Who knows, they might even try to deal with you. My grandmother once told me about a Peking opera where a married man wants to become a prince consort and kills his wife and children..."
"And he's so smart..." Zhou Wenwen shuddered, "I worry about you just thinking about it."
"There's nothing to worry about. I'm not that miserable Qin Xianglian. The worst that can happen is I can just quit. It's not like I'll never be able to find a job."
Han said it with ease, but he was thinking in his heart that this was originally a decent job. If he worked hard and gained experience, he might have a chance to be promoted. But he happened to meet Gu Ningwei and his sister, and also happened to meet Jiang Jin.
The days ahead will definitely not be easy.
She thought about Liu Suping, who relied on the community for subsistence allowances. The medical expenses for seeing a doctor and taking medicine every month alone were a huge amount of money, and she also had debts to repay every month. If she couldn't find a job for a while, she really didn't know what to do.
If you really don't have a job, do you really need to find a man?
The young and beautiful woman is determined to find a long-term meal ticket. It seems not difficult, but it also seems extremely difficult. Whether she succeeds or not is completely mysterious.
There are also people who lose both their money and their lives.
Besides, if she really had to sell herself, she really couldn't bear to do so.
In order to drive away the uneasiness in her heart, she raised her wine glass, took a sip, and looked around.
When I looked up, I saw a familiar figure.
Han narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. Then a new idea suddenly came to his mind.
