It was raining heavily outside, and it was noisy inside as well. Those who were waiting to go home were very anxious, those who couldn't wait to get to the parking lot while those who didn't have a car could only wait, making calls and complaining on the phone.
Shu Shu quietly waited. It was especially quiet in this noisy place. Xia Yang gazed at her out of the corner of his eyes. He didn't know why, but he couldn't see her eyes which were filled with sorrow.
The marriage bestowed upon them by the previous generation did not seem to bring them any blessing. It was also true that a child's marriage was a different kind of marriage in this society. Perhaps only those who were in it could understand the bitterness, the bitterness, and the bitterness of the marriage.
He had always believed that Shu Shu was a very strong girl. She could rescue her mother without fear of the world's eyes. Her transformation from an unknown person into the wife of a famous person had caused him much doubt and suspicion.
It was Ling Qiao. "Wife, I'll pick you up."
"It's raining so heavily, don't come over. I'm taking a ride with my colleague. We're still waiting."
"Alright, be careful then."
"Yes." After silently putting down the phone, Shu Shu turned around and smiled at Xia Yang. "It's my husband's number."
Summer nodded and smiled.
After a while, the thunderstorm stopped, but it was still drizzling, and the sky had grown darker. There were fewer and fewer people in the hall, and in the summer Jan and ShuShu left.
The atmosphere in the car was very depressing. Shushu had been frowning all this time, and even the usually relaxed and humorous Young Master couldn't bring himself to open his mouth to laugh. He wanted to say something to make her happy, but when he turned around and saw her frowning, he wanted to give her some quiet space.
After thinking for a long time, he asked, "I saw that you left early yesterday. Are you going on a date?"
"Eating with some of my husband's old classmates."
"Oh, that's a good thing. Your husband cares about you a lot."
"Is that so …"
"Of course, for a man to be willing to take his woman out to a gathering means that she has a lot of weight in his heart."
She smiled. "Maybe."
Xia Yang saw her smile and took the opportunity to say, "When a man gets married, he gets distracted. It's not easy to set up a family, but a man is under a lot of pressure. You should understand more about it.
ShuShu felt curious. "Why are you telling me all this in the summer? Although you are a man, you have never been married. Where can you go to experience the burden of a family? "
"Hur hur, haven't you eaten pork before and seen a pig run? I'm a man, I understand better."
Shu Shu shook her head, smiling as she said, "My husband and I didn't quarrel …"
Xia Yang's face was full of awkwardness as he said, "You must know Ling Qiao, right?"
Xia Yang shrugged his shoulders and said: "People who can watch TV on the internet should have a hard time not knowing him."
"Yeah."
"Yesterday, you and today's you, including the you from before, seemed to have changed a lot. As the boss, I'm also concerned about the employees."
"Hehe, thank you for your concern, Boss. We really didn't argue. Your words of consolation are completely irrelevant. "I just …" ShuShu couldn't find the right words to describe it. She thought for a moment and then said, "I'm just not used to his living environment."
In the summer Jan drove slowly and said, "Have you been married for a year?"
"Not yet. Soon."
"Are you still not used to it?"
Shu shook her head sadly. Perhaps she would never get used to it.
"I think it's not that you're unable to adapt to this environment, but that you haven't changed your attitude and thinking. Since you're married to a public figure like Ling Qiao, you should be able to calmly accept the criticism from the outside world."
Shu Shu lowered her eyes and asked, "You know Tang and Qing, right?"
"Yeah, I know a bit, it's Ling Qiao's ex-girlfriend." Xia Yang immediately understood. "Could it be that the rumour about the rekindling of Ling Qiao and Tang Siqing's old relationship is true? "But that was last year's news."
Shu Shu smiled bitterly. "It can be said to be true, but it can also be said to not be true …" Shu Shu wanted to say something but hesitated. She really wished that Little Xuan could be by her side and listen to her pour out her heart.
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, you're his wife. No matter how good the predecessor is, if your husband can't even differentiate between the two, then he isn't worth your nostalgia." Feeling that Shu Shu didn't want to talk much, Xia Yang smiled and changed the topic, "Hehe, I was just randomly spouting nonsense, but my own views …" Was it Chun Shuyuan? "We're here."
"Oh, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Ling Qiao and Tang Yuqing met at the Egg Restaurant, where they used to date so often that the Lady Boss still remembers them.
The Lady Boss was stunned at first, but then smiled and greeted them. "How rare. It's the first time after three years that I've seen all of you together."
Tang Beiqing smiled shyly. "Boss, you remember it so clearly."
"Yeah, I still remember what you guys like to eat, but do you still have the same taste?"
Tang Thirty-Six turned to look at Ling Qiao as if to say, "I don't care what I eat."
"Lady Boss, then let's do it the same way. I want to see if you remembered wrongly."
"Alright, take a seat in the room. Serve the dishes soon."
The Lady Boss indeed did not forget incorrectly. Hibiscus roast duck and chestnut stew pork ribs were both Tang and Qing's favorite dishes.
Tang Xiao Qing sighed in admiration. "Un, the taste is still the same. It seems even fresher than before …"
Ling Qiao did not eat much, and the reason he asked her out today was not for the sake of eating. ShuShu had already been indifferent towards him for two days. Yesterday, when he came back from work, he did not even say a single word to him. He was feeling flustered.
Ling Qiao opened his mouth and said straightforwardly, "Qingqing, do you still remember those drunken words you said the night before?"
"Hehe, you already said you were drunk, how could I still remember."
"It's good if you don't remember …" Suddenly, it was difficult for him to speak. For no reason at all, he felt too embarrassed to say such words.
After eating for a while more, she began to excitedly talk about her dancing class. "Qiao, I've already gotten the contract and took photos to send to my classmates. She told me to thank you very much, the decorations for the dance class are already in the final stages of completion, we should be able to start work smoothly this summer, and my classmates will be back soon."
"Oh, how about registering?"
"The registration was very good. It's all thanks to cousin's promotion on the television station."
"That's good. Do you need a star to cut the ribbon on the opening day?"
"Of course. It's best if you can dance ballet. As far as I know, there are a lot of female celebrities who were born in the dance department."
Ling Qiao was a little unaware of the food as the topic was too far away from his.
"Qiao, Shu Shu is home?"
"No, she works. She can't stay at home."
"Oh, let her take good care of her body, you have to take care of her as well."
"Mm …" "Qingqing, the reason I asked you out today is to tell you that since many things have happened, then don't be stubborn. For you, we can still be like a family, if you need any help, I will definitely help."
Of course, Tang Thirty-Six could understand what Ling Qiao meant. She drank his soup and laughed, "You wanted to say all these things when you invited me out?"
"Yes, I think you have some idea of what happened the day before yesterday. I'm sorry, but I'm married anyway."
"Then you love ShuShu?"
Ling Qiao solemnly nodded. "Yes."
Tang Beiqing put down her spoon and forced a smile. "Then what about me?"
"I've let you down."
"I don't want to hear sorry. I don't mind if you get married. I just want to be by your side."
Ling Qiao interrupted, "I mind …"
Tang Zeqing let out a light sigh. She reached out a hand to stroke the bangs that floated in front of her forehead and gave a sad smile. "Hehe, that's enough. Accompany me to finish this meal. I don't want to say anything more."
Ling Qiao did not say anything else. His thoughts had already clearly told her that this was enough. No matter how much he said, he would hurt her. He did not want to, nor did he want to.
When they parted ways, Ling Qiao said that he would go to the company, and Tang Sangqing said that he would take a stroll by himself. She smiled as she watched him leave, and then, she started to become anxious.
The doctor told her not to walk too quickly, but she couldn't care less. If she didn't walk faster, her ankles wouldn't ache, and they wouldn't ache. The pain in her heart was even more intense.
At the edge of the pier, the sea breeze was blowing fiercely. Tang Beiqing supported herself on the railing to rest. She couldn't go any further, there was the sea in front of her. The strong sea breeze ruffled her hair, ruffled her heart, dried her tears.
How could a man's heart become so fast? He had said so many sweet words when they were together, but in the end, it was all bullshit.
With trembling hands, she took out her cell phone, swiped her finger and pulled out Li Changzhi's number. She dialed it and said, "I'm at the dock …"
When Li Changzhi heard her tearful voice, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll immediately rush over. Don't do anything stupid."
It only took him ten minutes to drive to the dock.
"Changzhi, what are you doing? You can't screw up this business. If you have anything important to do, you can play with Boss Chen."
"Dad, Qingqing is crying by herself at the dock, I have to go."
"You unfilial son, always walking around Tang Qing. When will you wake up? Tang Qing's heart isn't with you."
"Dad, Boss Chen, you guys continue chatting. I'll be leaving first."
"Changzhi, Changzhi, Changzhi..." "Sigh!"
In less than ten minutes, Lee Chang Zai arrived at the pier. He could not help but feel heartache when he saw Tang Qing squatting dejectedly on the railing in pain.
"Qingqing, I'm here …"
"Changzhi," Tang Qingqing threw herself into his arms, crying even harder. "He doesn't love me anymore, he doesn't love me anymore. What should I do?"
Li Changzhi pulled her up and lightly patted her back. "If you want to cry, just cry. It's better than holding it in."
"He didn't stay by Shu Shu's side because of her. Even if he didn't have a child, he still loved her. He changed his mind, and the person he loved was Shu Shu."
Li Changzhi was conflicted, "Qingqing, do you love him this much?"
"Yes, I only love him one time in my life, only him one."
Li Changzhi sighed, somewhat helpless, somewhat sorrowful.
Ling Qiao left work early, and went to the supermarket to buy a lot of vegetables. There were chickens and fish, and his wife was so angry that she shivered. As a husband, he could not allow this to develop.
