It was Fang Fang who still sent him down and all the way to the gate of the community.

"Mr. Chen, please take care." Fang Fang stood at the door and waved at him.

"goodbye."

Chen Xu looked back at the building and walked outside.

He did not stay overnight because Shao Qing was always beside him and had no intention of leaving. Judging from his attitude, he would not give him a chance to take advantage of him.

After all, she was Jinxuan's boss, and he had no choice but to let her stay here as a light bulb. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye to Bai Jinxuan and left.

Although Bai Jinxuan looked reluctant, he did not force him to stay. After saying goodbye, he watched him leave.

It was already eleven o'clock. He was walking alone on the street after the rain. There was no one around him. Drops of water were dripping from the trees on the sidewalk from time to time, falling on his head and clothes.

When he reached the side of the road, his hair and clothes were already mostly wet.

After waiting for a while, a car stopped in front of him. It was the online taxi he called.

He sat in the car, took out his cell phone, and called Old Tang. "It's so late, I hope I didn't disturb you. It's nothing, I just feel a little depressed, and I want to have a drink with you. Okay, let's go to the barbecue restaurant near your house. Okay, we'll be there in half an hour."

"Master, let's change the destination..."

…………

Old Tang was still working in the living room with a laptop in front of him. After receiving Chen Xu's call, he checked the time and continued to work on the computer.

His wife came out of the room, closed the door gently, and asked, "Who called just now?"

"It's Chen Xu. He seems to be in a bad mood and asked me to go out for a drink."

"Why don't you hurry up?" his wife urged when she heard it.

"He'll be here in half an hour, don't worry." Old Tang didn't take his eyes off the computer and asked, "Is the baby asleep?"

"Asleep."

His wife sat next to him and said, "Hubby, you have good foresight. You established a good relationship with Chen Xu early on. You were able to join the electronics sales department last time and be promoted to deputy director this time, all thanks to him."

Old Tang also sighed, "In fact, I didn't expect him to be as successful as he is now. When I first met him, I just thought he was a good person and worth getting to know."

“I didn’t realize that before.”

"He's a person who, well, if you treat him well, he will treat you the same way. If you treat him as a friend, he will treat you as a friend as well. He won't stab you in the back. He's much better than those two-faced people."

His wife said, "To be honest, I thought he was too cold before and didn't have a good impression of him."

"In fact, his personality is a bit like mine in the past. Seeing him is like seeing my old self. He has a strong self-esteem, is sensitive, and is afraid of being rejected. He treats people and things in the outside world with caution, fearing that his warm attitude will be rejected by others. At the same time, as long as others take the initiative to show kindness to him, they can gain his friendship."

Old Tang’s wife said, “Hearing you describe it like that, it seems quite pitiful.”

"But that was in the past. He has changed a lot in the past year. He is like a completely different person."

Old Tang sighed, "It should be the period around the establishment of the Electronic Sales Department. He started to become a different person. Unconsciously, he revealed a kind of confidence that he didn't have before. Now that I think about it, it should be his relationship with Mr. Luo that made him change like this. Sure enough, only a woman can make a man grow quickly."

His wife nodded and agreed, "Indeed, the last time I saw him, I felt that he was very different from before. How should I describe it? He has the aura of a successful person."

Old Tang glanced at the time and said, "He should be almost here. I'm going downstairs."

"Well, go ahead and don't drink too much."

"Okay. Go to bed early."

Old Tang took his wallet and keys, changed his shoes, and went out.

There was a barbecue restaurant not far from his home, and he and Chen Xu had been there last time. When they arrived at the restaurant, Chen Xu had not arrived yet.

Chen Xu came over, sat down, and said, "I'm sorry. I asked you to come out so late. Did your sister-in-law say anything?"

"She feels very relieved when she comes out with you. If it were someone else, she might not be so sure." Old Tang called the waiter over and asked him to bring the beer. He said, "It's just right. I haven't been out drinking for a while. If you hadn't called me, I wouldn't have had that chance."

As he was talking, the waiter came over with beer. He opened a bottle and poured two glasses. "Come on, have a drink."

After a drink, the barbecue came.

The two of them ate meat and chatted for a while. After chatting for a while, Old Tang got to the point, "Tell me, what happened? Did you have a fight?"

"The quarrel is just a small matter."

Chen Xu picked up the cup that had just been filled, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Tell me, what is the purpose of life?"

Without waiting for Old Tang to answer, he continued, "In the past, I thought that people live just to live, eat, sleep, work and have fun, until one day, they can no longer live, and that's it."

Old Tang knew that what he needed at this moment was just an audience, so he didn't interrupt, but opened another bottle of beer and filled it up for him.

"At that time, I was the only one in my world. I read novels and watched TV, and I was particularly envious of the protagonists because so many people loved them. I never felt that anyone loved me."

"My grandparents like my older cousins ​​more. My grandparents love my older cousins ​​more. Even my parents, they may love me in their hearts, but I feel that they love each other more. Since I was a child, they threw me to my grandparents..."

"Growing up, I made friends with some who made fun of me and some who copied my homework."

"I have had girlfriends before, and it seemed that they accepted me because they were lonely and needed a boyfriend. To be honest, when I kissed them, I didn't feel that they loved me. It was just a routine."

"I've come to terms with it. I feel like this is how my life is. Actually, when I think about it, it's nothing. Am I not the same? I only love myself. When have I ever been unconditionally nice to someone? No. Never."

"I am a selfish person. You haven't been nice to me, so why should I be nice to you?"

By this time, he had already finished several bottles of beer.

"Until one day, an opportunity came up. It was an opportunity that could change my destiny. Then, I couldn't help but use this opportunity to think about whether I could have a real relationship. In the middle, I almost messed it up. At that time, I thought that maybe my personality was not suitable for dating."

"Later, things took a turn for the better and we got together."

Chen Xu's tone changed when he said this. "I was really happy during that time, but it was too short. When it was almost over, I asked her, do you love me? She said, no."

"I really can't accept it. Can you understand that feeling?"

“So, I gave up.”

"Later, the same opportunity came up again, and I still couldn't resist and made the same choice. That girl was completely different, but unfortunately, we didn't get together because I was a little afraid of her. She was too smart and could easily see through my mind. I was afraid of being played around by her."

"Later, she tried her best to get close to me and gradually broke down my defenses. I thought, even if it was just an act, I would accept it. After all, I wouldn't suffer any loss. That was how it went on until one day, she said she wanted to leave, and then she disappeared. Although I was very angry, I thought that she might have some difficulties, so I decided to look for her in the future."

This time, Old Tang understood that the person he was talking about was probably his ex-girlfriend, the woman who was obviously not an ordinary woman.

As for the first woman Chen Xu mentioned, it was most likely Luo Xiyun.

"The third time was a complete accident. At that time, I only wanted to make money and then go find her. But God likes to play jokes on you. One day, she suddenly told me that she loved me. I was surprised and a little confused. Why did she fall in love with me?"

"I didn't accept her. She called me hypocritical. Actually, I'm just wary. After being cheated once, I don't dare to trust women easily."

"Later, I cleared up the misunderstanding with the first girl and we really got together. From that moment on, I felt that I was no longer the only one in my life."

"Then, the third girl appeared. She made me realize that there was someone in this world who would give up everything for me. She lit up my world, and at that moment, I knew that I could never lose her."

Old Tang understood everything and almost gasped.

Chen Xu, actually wants to have two relationships at the same time? PS: Finally, I am asking for monthly votes. After updating one chapter this morning, I found that I was overtaken by more than 300 votes. I almost couldn't catch my breath.
