Su Yunbai changed a glass, filled it with wine, and toasted Xu Jinzhi first: "I haven't said thank you to you for a long time. Thank you for protecting me before... and, I'm sorry."
I'm sorry, for the little turmoil I had in City B.
For I almost made you lose face.
Xu Jinzhi was a little bit at a loss, "Fuck, assistant, don't be like this. I am a face person, but you have never faced me like this, have you? You can't make me do
that." "And aren't you asking for trouble now? You just had the operation, how can you drink?"
Lawyer Yuan glanced at Su Yunbai, thoughtfully.
She took a new glass and poured half a cup of milk for Su Yunbai, "Thanks and apologies are fine, but don't drink, drink this. "
Su Yunbai did not refuse.
After drinking a glass of milk, she poured a second glass and looked at Lawyer Yuan and Xu Shiyuan, "The second glass, I have to thank you." She paused and sighed, "Now that I think about it, you really understand me."
About a month ago, the four of them had a party at Xu Jinzhi's bar.
At that time, Su Yunbai and Huo Qinian had already agreed to divorce. Su Yunbai felt that her determination was firm, but Lawyer Yuan and Xu Shiyuan knew her so well that they could see through her pretense at a glance.
Lawyer Yuan once said a theory, saying that "a true separation has to go through two stages. In the first stage, you feel that he is not good in every way and that you have been wrong in your sincerity. In the second stage, she felt that he was good in every way and regretted that she was too pretentious at the beginning.
The words are still ringing in her ears, which are really insightful.
At first, she felt that Huo Qinian was not good to her, and she was sad, disappointed, and disheartened, so she wanted to divorce.
Such determination was actually very passive, just like a paper tiger that would break at the first poke. So later, Huo Qinian just changed his attitude towards her slightly, and she softened and wavered first...
- She began to think that he was good.
Fortunately, she did not indulge in this illusory love for too long. Although the process of waking up was burning with fire, this time, the world was just a big dream, and she finally woke up!
The original lawyer and Xu Shiyuan looked at each other and sighed: "There is no need to ask you, I know just by looking at you like this. This time, you really want it. "
Su Yunbai couldn't help but touch his face when he heard this: "It seems that my face is full of emotions."
Xu Shiyuan laughed, "It's not that you show your emotions, but... let's put it this way, my dear, the you in the past, or the Mrs. Huo, was like a well with a cover, hiding everything in your heart.
"But now, the well cover has been removed, and the sunlight can shine to the bottom of the well. So there is no Mrs. Huo, only Su Yunbai."
Xu Shiyuan leaned back in his chair and said leisurely: "I only found out after being reminded by my former lawyer. You became very quiet later, and you were so soft without any edge. You lived too suppressed and too aggrieved.
"Maybe you have forgotten that you used to be obedient on the surface. In private, you are very sharp-tongued. When you get angry, the things you say can be hurtful..."
She looked nostalgic.
Xu Jinzhi stared at Su Yunbai and pondered: "You guys reminded me of this. Teaching assistant, your current mental state is actually closer to how you were when I first got to know you.
"Do you remember how we met? I secretly transferred to your school in my sophomore year without telling my family. I transferred from liberal arts to science and found it particularly painful to study.
"That was your first year of doctoral studies, right? You happened to be the teaching assistant for one of my courses..."
Xu Jinzhi couldn't help laughing when she said this.
She said to Lawyer Yuan and Xu Shiyuan: "I had an impression of the teaching assistant a long time ago. She attended the first class. When the teacher introduced the teaching assistants for the course, she even stood up to introduce herself.
"I knew she was Chinese at first sight, and I went to say hello to her after class. She smiled so gently at me!
" I thought to myself, OK! This young lady seems to be very considerate, and our brotherhood must be touching. She must take care of me, right?
"The result!! The more stable the relationship, the harsher the judgment.
"For the first assignment, the full mark was 100, but the teaching assistant gave me 40 points. She also wrote a comment for me, saying that she suggested that I re-read the content of the class!"
Xu Jinzhi looked sad.
Lawyer Yuan and Xu Shiyuan laughed at the same time: "It seems like something a young child can do. "
Su Yunbai defended himself, "There were answers to homework questions for that course, but the answers only gave the final results. You were obviously just adding up the numbers, and the process was a mess, and none of them were right.
"I didn't actually deduct points from you randomly..."
"Don't talk, I don't want to listen!" Xu Jinzhi complained to the original lawyer and Xu Shiyuan, "Anyway, I was very angry! At that time, teaching assistants had to arrange office hours, and students could go to the teaching assistants to ask questions during this time period.
"I went to her during her office hours. I thought I had to annoy her to death and make her change her sentence.
"But the teaching assistant held on!
"Do you know what she can do? In order to make me admit defeat with conviction, she gave me extra lessons herself! She just wanted me to know how wrong I was!
"I thought at the time, this teaching assistant is really tough. If you had given me even 60 points, I might not have bothered you..."
Lawyer Yuan and Xu Shiyuan laughed so hard that they fell all over the place.
Su Yunbai sighed, "I did regret it later, because she got the advantage from it. She came to my office every time during office hours, and I had to help her review the content of the class in Chinese every time.
"I thought later, this won't work. She takes up almost all of my time every time, what should other students do? So, I made an appointment with her privately and helped her prepare for the class so that she could keep up with the class.
"Then, bad thing, she got my WeChat! From then on, she no longer had to wait for office hours. Whenever she had questions, she would ask me directly. It was not even limited to the course itself. She could ask me about any random courses and homework, regardless of whether I had learned them or not.
"Later, she became even more open-minded and even asked me for help with her daily life. From big things like handling procedures and selecting courses to small things like car repairs, maintenance, and travel..."
Su Yunbai couldn't help but hold his forehead when he said this, and shook his head with laughter: "Later, her family found out that she secretly transferred to another school. Aunt Xu rushed abroad to catch her, but she didn't do anything to her. Instead, she held my hand and burst into tears, saying that she was sorry for me, saying that I was doing two things at once, getting an assistant teacher's salary and doing the work of a personal assistant..."
Xu Jinzhi smiled, "Hehehe, I know that I'm not fair, but how can it be right to take advantage, right? Especially! You don't know, the effect of the assistant teacher's tutoring is really good! I recommend it with my real name!
"I was able to graduate successfully, and I really relied on the assistant teacher to save my life!"
Lawyer Yuan also laughed: "No wonder you keep calling her 'assistant teacher', did you get used to calling her that at that time?"
"Yes. Because I called her the teaching assistant, she was too embarrassed to argue with me when I annoyed her. "Xu Jinzhi sighed softly when he said this, "At that time I knew that the teaching assistant was a hard-mouthed but soft-hearted person. Although she looked smart, she was actually stupid.
"According to my mother, she is an honest person.
"But in this world, honest people are prone to suffer losses.
"Later I found out that she and Huo Qinian were in love, and I was actually very worried in private. Even after they got married, I was always worried.
"I even thought for a while that I was too nosy..."
Later it seemed that her worries were indeed not unreasonable.
Xu Jinzhi drank a sip of wine depressedly, and couldn't help but sigh.
Su Yunbai sat opposite her and smiled gently, "Okay, it's all over. "
After finishing the hot pot, it was almost ten o'clock.
Su Yunbai sent the people to the main road at the entrance of the unit, watched the three people leave together, and then turned back.
There was a faint smell of smoke in the air, which seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
Su Yunbai couldn't help but sniffed and looked in the direction of the smoke.
The road at the entrance of the unit was planted with camphor trees. In the shadows of the trees that were not illuminated by the street lights, there was a little red The sparks were burning.
When Su Yunbai looked over, the red sparks moved and were quickly extinguished. Then, a tall and straight black shadow walked out from the shadow of the tree, with an imposing manner.
Su Yunbai was startled, but she quickly reacted - this was Huo Qinian.
Her good mood was gone.
Huo Qinian's face was frosty, and he could hardly suppress his anger: "Why? Why did you suddenly leave the hospital? Why didn't you answer my call?! "
Huo Qinian was really about to explode.
He had called Wang the nurse since he received a call at noon, but the call didn't go through. He had to abandon the celebration party that was halfway through and arrange for someone to find her.
As a result, he got the news that she was going back to City A.
He really couldn't get away, so he arranged for someone to pick her up at the station. The person he sent came back and told him that she directly ignored the person he sent and pretended not to know her.
If he had sent someone else, he would Maybe she would accept this explanation. But the person he sent was Assistant Liu!
Assistant Liu had been her assistant for three years, and now when the time came, she told him that she didn't know him anymore?
This was simply being unreasonable.
But at least he saw the person, and Huo Qinian could still control his temper.
He thought that something might have happened, and Su Yunbai was stuck in a rut again. There was a sign of thawing between them, and he was willing to be more tolerant. A few minutes later.
He finished his socializing early and went to her house to find her, wanting to ask her questions.
He waited from 6:30 to 10:00. He didn't wait for her, but saw her chatting and laughing with her friends, moving ingredients home, as if preparing for a dinner party. Later, he could even smell the faint smell of hot pot coming from her house, and the faint laughter that could be heard from a distance but occasionally.
Huo Qinian had had enough!
He He was standing inside, enduring the rampant mosquitoes, but she was hanging out with her friends at the door?
Was he treating his time and face as scum?
There should be a limit to what he does, right?
Even now, she still looks stubborn!
How dare she? How can she be
so embarrassed? Huo Qinian could no longer suppress his anger. He looked at Su Yunbai solemnly, and his voice could not help but rise, with an order: "Speak!"
Su Yunbai suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes seemed to be quenched by ice, so bright and cold.
She said in a cold voice: "What to say? Say that you took the trouble to come down to earth to accompany me to play a prodigal son who returns home and is deeply in love? Should I say thank you? Should I shed tears of gratitude?
"You don't have to pretend anymore. We are just ordinary people, our dignity is worthless, and we are not worthy of Master Huo's efforts!"
Huo Qinian frowned even more tightly: "Just speak to me nicely!"
Su Yunbai took a deep breath, "I know everything."
"What do you know?"
"The Fang family, Miss Fang, the whole story of our marriage... everything!" Su Yunbai smiled with sharp white teeth, "Mr. Huo, I haven't had time to ask you, are you using this tool of mine to reject the Fang family?"
