Perfect Life

Chapter 20: The future is with me!

Friday, evening.

When Qi Jie got home, it was almost seven o'clock as usual.

She opened the door and went in. Before she changed her shoes, Qi Jie's mother greeted her and said anxiously, "Why did you come back so late? Xiao Liang called and said, your phone is off?"

Qi Jie was stunned for a moment, the phone was turned off when she was afraid that someone would suddenly call.

So she took out her mobile phone, turned it on, and said, "I turned it off during class and forgot to turn it on." Then she asked, "Lu Liang called me? Did you say something?"

Qi Ma shook her head, "I didn't say it, hurry up and call him back. I heard Xiaoliang is very anxious, maybe there is something urgent!"

It happened that the phone had been switched on, so she found Lu Liang's number and dialed it.

When the call was connected, Lu Liang's voice was indeed fiery, "Why turn off the phone? My second uncle and second aunt came to eat at home tonight and wanted to inform you, but they couldn't find you!"

Qi Jie was stunned for a moment, and had to explain it again, saying, "That... I left school and stayed at school to change my homework. My phone was turned off before class, and I forgot to turn it on."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Liang's voice was deliberately lowered, but the anger in his words was not small at all, "The purpose of using a mobile phone is for people to contact you easily. Okay, I won't tell you this for now, come over quickly, come to my house!"

Qi Jie opened her mouth and wanted to say that it was seven o'clock now, so she would not go there, but before she could speak, Lu Liang said again: "By the way, you dressed up before you came, my second uncle is The deputy director of the Municipal Personnel Bureau, the deputy director level..."

His voice said that he was not too small. Qi Jie's mother stood on the side and could hear it clearly. Seeing Qi Jie's displeased expression, her mother persuaded her in a low voice, "Go, go!"

Qi Jie's brows furrowed and her mouth opened. In the end, she nodded, "Oh, I see, I'll go right over."

……

Lu Liang's so-called second aunt and second uncle are actually relatives who can't be beaten. However, the Lu family's father and son are in business, and they will flatter any official figure they can flatter. What's more, going around, the two families can really climb up a little bit of ancient relatives?

A dinner that was very enjoyable.

Lu Liang's second uncle was very arrogant and had an equally strong tone. The Lu family's father and son dealt with it carefully and flattered. Naturally, the two sides hit it off, and the more they talked, the closer they became.

Before leaving, Qi Jie put on a little light makeup and changed into a white dress. She looked bright and unassuming. After arriving, she apologized continuously. Fortunately, before dinner started, Lu Liang's mother also helped to speak, and added It was in front of a guest again, so that Lu Liang's dissatisfaction had no chance to vent.

Then, Qi Jie obediently followed Lu Liang's mother in the kitchen, then she was busy serving dishes, toasting with Lu Liang just right, and saying a few words of flattery... In short, she became a good part of this family gathering. A qualified supporting role.

I heard that Lu Liang and Qi Jie are going to get married next year.

The second aunt and the second uncle were very happy. After the meal was full, Qi Jie was in charge of making the tea. They drank the tea for a while, then said goodbye and left with satisfied smiles.

Lu Liang's parents are very happy. For them, climbing the line of the second uncle means that the road will be much wider in the future. For business people, the way is the business experience.

Lu Liang...not very happy.

Although he felt that Qi Jie's performance was not bad today, not only did he show the kind of graceful and elegant temperament in the dress, but also when entertaining guests, there was a little reserved feeling in that enthusiasm. And the timid look in his face when facing himself gave him an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, and he felt that in front of his second aunt and second uncle, he had regained some face.

But even so, Qi Jie's shutdown and being late still made him furious just thinking about it.

When the guests left, Qi Jie was busy washing with Lu Liang's mother in the kitchen again, and when she had finished packing up and took off her apron, when she asked to leave, Lu Liang finally couldn't help saying: " Do you know how bad this meal is today? Do you know that you almost ruined this meal?"

Lu Liang's mother hurriedly stopped Qi Jie when she heard the words, and before Qi Jie could speak, she already hurriedly said, "Why do you say this? What's wrong with Xiao Jie turning off her cell phone in class, who knows that your dad suddenly invited someone to come here? Let's eat at home! Okay, okay, it's all over, don't pick this one and pick that one!"

With her few words, Lu Liang couldn't say anything, so he just sat there gasping for breath. Qi Jie wanted to say something, but in front of Lu Liang's mother, she felt that it was not easy to say it.

So, in the end, Lu Liang's mother pulled Lu Liang forcibly, and the mother and son sent Qi Jie out of the door.

Before going out, Lu Liang's father specially said, "Xiaojie, you go back and tell your father, after a while, I will invite him to drink, our brothers are both old, we should get together more often. , or else I might enter the coffin one day."

Qi Jie naturally smiled and agreed - she knew that Lu Liang's father and his old man had a relationship with naked **** urinating and mud. They had known each other since they could not speak. We went up and down together, and even went to college in the same city. This friendship is indeed very thick.

Qi Jie was about to go downstairs, and Qi Jie's mother suddenly said, "By the way, tomorrow and Saturday, you two should go shopping, young people!" Having said that, she turned around and said to Lu Liang, "Xiao Liang, You pick up Xiaojie tomorrow morning, go shopping together, buy some clothes for Xiaojie, and then watch a movie or something... Do you hear?"

Although she didn't like shopping with Lu Liang in her heart, at this time, Qi Jie looked up at Lu Liang subconsciously.

After a while, Lu Liang said with an indifferent expression, "Got it."

Qi Jie couldn't help but sighed again.

At this moment, Lu Liang looked at Qi Jie blankly and said, "I'll pick you up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

In front of Lu Liang's mother, Qi Jie smiled and said, "Okay."

……

When she came out of Lu's house, she was still smiling, but when the car left the sight of Lu Liang's mother who was sending him out, Qi Jie's shoulders collapsed immediately, and she felt hysterical exhaustion all over her body.

At this time, she didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to go home and take a shower, then throw herself on the bed and sleep in it all night.

……

The next day is Saturday.

In the morning, Wang Jinglu was practicing the piano when the phone suddenly rang.

He got up and picked up the phone from the coffee table.

It's Zhao Yumin.

Although he didn't store his number, Wang Jinglu remembered it clearly.

How to do?

She knew that this matter could not be avoided by herself, and she had to face it. And Li Qian can't really help him, everything can only rely on himself.

But, hurting others...it's really hard.

With her fingers hard, she hung up the phone.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then her phone rang again.

After hesitating for a while, she pressed the switch button.

"Hello."

"Xiao Lu, it's me, Zhao Yumin. Well... tonight, can I invite you to dinner?"

Wang Jinglu took a deep breath slowly, closed her eyes, and said, "I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Wang Jinglu even heard the other party's breathing stagnate.

Then, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know this beforehand, um, it must have troubled you, right?"

Wang Jinglu opened his eyes and did not speak.

The other party paused and continued: "That's right, I don't know who your boyfriend is, but I believe that I will not be worse than him, and I will treat you better than him, so... give me one A chance to compete with him, okay?"

After a moment of silence, Wang Jinglu gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend."

Hearing this, the other party was silent for a while again, and then he sighed slowly.

"I understand, I'm sorry to bother you. But... Hehe, I don't think we are enemies at least, right? If there is a chance to meet in the future... You know, our company and uncle's company have a lot of intersections, so in the future If we meet, we can still chat like ordinary friends, right?"

Wang Jinglu thought about it for a while, nodded, and made an insignificant "hmm".

But he must have heard it.

After a pause, he said, "Don't worry, uncle will definitely not get similar news from me."

He is such a considerate person! And...so smart!

So, "Thank you!" Wang Jinglu said.

The other party gave a "um", and it seemed that the call could be hung up at this point, but the other party didn't.

After another pause, he said, "If, I mean if, if one day you are not satisfied with him, then please give me a chance, because I really like you... Thank you!"

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

Wang Jinglu suddenly felt like crying.

The nose is sour.

Standing in front of the coffee table for a while, she sniffed and dialed Wang Jingxue's number.

"Hey, Xiao Lu, is something wrong?"

"Sister, he wanted to invite me to dinner, but I refused. I told him that I have a boyfriend."

Wang Jingxue was silent for a moment, then said, "It's stupid, but it's a very effective method. So... you're just going to tell me this?"

"I feel that I have hurt others, and I feel so sad all of a sudden."

There was another moment of silence, and then Wang Jingxue said, "You know, I have never been able to comfort people since I was a child. I will only buy you candy."

Wang Jinglu's mouth twitched, wanting to laugh, but couldn't.

At this time, Wang Jingxue suddenly asked, "What you told him was the truth, right?"

Wang Jinglu was taken aback and didn't know how to answer.

Wang Jingxue asked again, "Can you tell me who I am? I know it, or I don't?"

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Jinglu said cruelly, "You know him."

There was a long silence over the phone.

Then, Wang Jingxue suddenly sighed, "So, it's the boy from the opposite door, right?"

Wang Jinglu was full of anxiety, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Sister, they will not agree, but I know that you will definitely support me, right?"

Wang Jingxue's voice suddenly filled with exhaustion, but she was as firm as ever, "Wrong!"

After a while, he added, "If it's him, I'm against it too!"

Wang Jinglu was taken aback for a moment, "Why?"

She seemed to be suddenly excited, as if it was at this moment, all kinds of pressures and entanglements in the recent period suddenly burst out at this moment, "Why don't you even want to support me? Are you My sister! You have loved me the most and supported me the most since I was a child! Is he really that bad?"

He didn't speak on the other side of the phone, just listened quietly to Wang Jinglu's increasingly loud questioning.

"Don't even you want to be like your parents? Don't even you think their family is poor? He's not motivated? Or...or something like he's not worthy of me?"

After saying this, Wang Jinglu stopped.

Growing up, she seldom yelled at others so angrily and hysterically, but at this moment, she felt that she had to ask, she had to ask clearly why!

Otherwise, she will not accept it!

On both ends of the phone, the two of them could hear their breathing.

Wang Jingxue suddenly said: "I never thought that a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old child should bear any responsibility for the poverty of the family, and I also don't think that Li Qian is a person who is not motivated. Although he plays a little crazy, he Very smart, very smart since childhood, as long as a person is smart enough, he will not be able to accomplish anything in the future. But...he really is not worthy of you!"

After venting it out, Wang Jinglu's mood gradually calmed down a little.

Moreover, her sister's answer didn't surprise her too much.

"Can you tell me specifically where he's not worthy? I don't expect him to have any great achievements in the future. I'd rather follow him in the future and be mediocre for the rest of my life, right?"

The other party was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it, Xiaolu, let's not quarrel with you, my sister doesn't want to quarrel with you, and she doesn't want to force you to make a choice. Maybe... I hope you can be more patient, maybe it won't take a few years, a few years. After that, without anyone telling you, you will feel that he is no longer worthy of you!"

Wang Jinglu was silent.

It's almost the same as what my mother said.

However, she is not convinced!

Why?

After a while, the other end of the phone said: "Xiaolu, you are still young, don't think too much for now, let alone decide your life now, okay? Now, you should study hard and wait for the final exam to end, sister. Just go back and pick you up. Well, I'm still practicing songs, and if there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up. Remember, don't think too much, give everything to time, okay?"

Wang Jingxue did not speak until the other end hung up the phone.

Then, she put down the phone in silence and walked back to the piano.

With her hand on the piano keys, she took a deep breath, forcing herself to restrain the sour grievance in her heart that she wanted to cry, and then stood up suddenly, UU reading www.uukanshu. com walked over, picked up the phone, and entered SMS.

"He invited me to dinner, but I refused."

After finishing typing, she wanted to press send. After hesitating for a while, she added, "Don't put too much pressure on you, I can afford it."

SMS sent successfully.

She seemed to be able to hear a ding-dong sound less than twenty meters away from the opposite door.

Then, putting down the phone, she slowly fell on the sofa, crooked.

Suddenly I felt so weak.

……

A ding dong sound.

Li Qian picked up the phone and looked at it for a moment, his fingers dangling above the screen, and finally, he put the phone back on the table.

On the table in front of him is an open Russian textbook.

On the notebook next to him, he copied half a page of Russian texts.

In the left ear is an earphone, which is a beautiful high-pitched voice of a Soviet woman, pathetic and high-pitched.
