C129 The Return of Meng Shufu
A smile slowly blossomed on my face, but it was filled with bitterness and bitterness. What made me feel the most hopeless was not the abnormal behavior of Ou Jia Rui after hearing about Meng Shuzhen, but even so, deep down in my heart, there was still a last trace of expectation.
But very quickly, the sound of O'Jia Rui's car starting up outside the door pulled me back from my fantasy and returned me to the cold and cruel real world.
Ou Jia Rui didn't even change her clothes and just left the room.
Seeing that Ou Jia Rui and I were able to sit calmly and eat breakfast together, and even chatted on the sofa for so long, and had such a warm and lingering hug, the servants at home all thought that Ou Jia Rui and I had made up.
"Madam, do you want me to help you pack your luggage and daily necessities into Mister's room? This is what goes on between husband and wife. Don't get mad at Mister for always arguing between the bed and the end." It was an older servant who persuaded me. He had been with the Ou family for quite some time.
During our previous chitchat, I knew that although she wasn't able to have children, she and her husband had supported each other throughout their lives. Their relationship was so good that in the past twenty years, they hadn't had a single blush or a single word, so it was obvious that she was well versed in the ways of a couple.
I replied coldly, "There's no need for that. My current room is pretty good, so I don't need to stay with Ou Jia Rui." I carried my cup full of cocoa upstairs.
At first, I thought that I would lose my temper because of Meng Shuzhen's return, or even tears, but I didn't expect that I would be able to accept this fact so calmly. Perhaps in my subconscious, I had always known that this woman would leave a lasting and profound influence in Ou Jia Rui's life.
He sat in his room reading. He had been reading from morning till afternoon, and he hadn't even gone downstairs to eat. It was the servants who noticed my lack of food and sleep and personally brought my lunch upstairs to persuade me to take a bite.
What I was watching was' The Western Chamber '. It was clearly a familiar story, and it was also not very similar to my experience. Compared to the young ladies of rich families like Cui Ying Ying, I had already encountered quite a few contempt from this world when I was born.
But I will still to those complex feelings, to the characters in the book encounter, produced "we are both the end of the world" lament.
Ou Jia Rui never came back, he just went out in his gray house clothes. When he went out, he probably still carried the smell and warmth of my body after hugging me. Once Meng Shuzhen found out, he would abandon everything and run towards the person that made him want.
After my relationship with Lin Qian, regardless of whether it was due to Lin Qian's vanity or some other reason, I still lost to Ou Jingyi. In my brief relationship with Ou Jia Rui, I had been a strange and awkward existence from the start.
I smiled wryly. It seemed that this mother and daughter pair could really say that they were a barrier on my path of love.
It wasn't until nightfall that I received a call from O'Jia Rui. The first time it rang, I jumped up from my seat in a second and ran over to find that it was from O'Jia Rui.
Just as I was about to press the answer button, I hesitated. There should be nothing left to say between us, so I watched as the phone rang and the screen dimmed again.
At the very least, there is a tacit understanding between Ou Jia Rui and Meng Shu Si that does not exist in me. Once these two people make a phone call to someone, they will not stop until they achieve their goal. Seeing that I didn't pick up, Ou Jia Rui called the second, third, and even fourth person …
It wasn't until Ou Jia Rui made the sixth call that I finally mustered the courage to answer. When I opened my mouth and said the first word, my voice was already trembling. "Hello."
"Hey, are you still at home?"
"I'm here."
"Then are you angry?"
"Nope." I didn't know what to say, so I answered whatever Ou Jia Rui asked, and it wasn't that I was lying when I said I wasn't angry, but from a different perspective, if I were Ou Jia Rui, I would also be thinking about my first love.
"Today, I actually don't know why Meng Shu suddenly came to B City. We haven't contacted each other in many years, and Jingjing is the same as well. She seems to have vanished from the face of the earth. Although I often hear news about her, there has not been any dialogue between us for a long time." Ojiaru's relationship with Meng was based on how he tried to distance himself from me.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Maybe she finally repented and thought that in this world, you are still the best. After all, clothes are not as good as new clothes." I didn't realize that the current me was extremely unkind, whether it was my tone of voice or the content of my words.
She probably just came back to visit her family or something. She was chased by someone when she was driving on the road today, but her family has moved away, so she can't contact anyone in B City and can only come to find me for help. "
"Oh, so it's like that." It is said that in this world, only women understand the most. Whether Meng Shuzhen's actions were due to helplessness or because he deliberately found a reason to meet with Ou Jia Rui, I believe that besides Ou Jia Rui, the two of us know her intentions.
"You have to eat obediently at home. When you feel better in a few days, I'll arrange for you to go to work." In the morning, after I had revealed my love for O'Jia Rui and broken the window paper, the two of us became more open-minded and casual. Our conversation seemed no different from that of an ordinary couple.
"Will you be home for dinner tonight?"
After pausing for a moment, Ou Jia Rui stammered, "I won't go back to eat tonight. You can rest first."
"En, alright. Bye bye."
Before ending the call, I clearly heard a very gentle female voice say from the other end of the phone, "Jia Rui, why did you go to the bathroom for so long?" I thought you didn't want to have dinner with me? "
As to whose voice it came from, I knew it better than anyone.
Over the next few days, I rarely saw Ojairi. I could only eat at home at breakfast and lunch time.
After a period of depression, I also came to realize that I had to start my own life.
After discussing with Mason for a long time, we realized that with our current strength, it would be difficult to open a design studio. But with the current practice of online shopping, we decided to open a jewelry store to test the waters.
Over the weekend, I went to Mason's house with my plans and a few scattered designs.
He found that her apartment, which was originally very clean and stylish, had been cleaned even more warmly. Green plants could be seen everywhere on the windowsill, giving off a strong life force. I asked while fiddling with the fleshy plants, "Hey, didn't you always fear that you would be able to keep the plants alive? You always stopped me when I wanted to buy them?"
There was a shy smile on Mason's face. He said that nowadays, boys often give flowers to girls, but those flowers have already been picked down long ago and can only be maintained for a day or two, so he would rather send me these living plants. "
I was amused by Qin Ling. I didn't expect that the teacher who usually looked serious and serious would have such a cute side to him. "So, does Teacher Qin send you a small potted plant every day?"
"Yeah." "Not only here, look at the windowsills and balconies in the rooms, there are plenty of them. Later I told him not to give them to me, that he had to tell him to give me a new one if I broke a potted plant."
"Hahahaha." I was smiling from ear to ear, but I was also envious of the relationship between Meisan and Qin Ling. After not seeing each other for so many years, we had changed so much.
I moved closer to Mason. "Hey, what's the relationship between the two of you now? Do you want to continue?"
"You're just gossiping, how can it happen so quickly? We just often eat and play together. Two days ago, when I went to the B University to play with him, I heard about something. Do you know about it?"
"What is it?" It has been a long time since I went to school, so I didn't pay much attention to it. It should be something that has nothing to do with me.
When I went to play at school a few days ago, I happened to drop by to see my teacher. He's currently in the second tier, usually helping to observe the new lecturer, or something like that, and I heard that Meng Shuzhen is currently applying to become a teacher at the Art Academy of B University. Mason smiled.
My expression chilled. "I know. She has already come to meet with Ou Jia Rui. What happened after your teacher saw her work?"
"My teacher said that this kind of work could be used as a commercial painting to earn some money, but this level is still not up to the level of being able to teach in the B University. A student with a high level of achievement in the B University of Arts can draw a better level painting than this, but he just lacks an opportunity to become famous." As a student of the arts, Maysan also carried with her the high education of a student of the art department.
I couldn't help but laugh at her words. "Then there are still people who said that I would copy her work. Hahahaha."
"Ai, darling, but why do I feel bad about that Meng Shu. I just found out that she came to look for the boss, do you think she regretted leaving that year? Seeing that the Ou Family has developed so shockingly, could it be that she wants to renew the friendship with the boss?" Mason said, worried.
