Chapter 563 Long time no see
Life is like this, full of all kinds of chance and all kinds of inevitability.
For example, Chen Feng and Shen Lin are now divorced and living separately. Even if they still live in the same city, in such a big city with a population of tens of millions, it is not easy to live with each other. It's relatively close, but I bump into it unexpectedly in the vast sea of people a few times.
This kind of thing seems to be completely accidental. If Yu Xiaohui had not asked Chen Feng to come here today, or if he had made an appointment at another time, he would not have been able to come here. Of course, he would not have been able to see his ex-wife Shen Lin and see her again. , seems to be purely accidental.
The same goes for Shen Lin. If Luo Qingchao had not chosen to eat here, or if she had made an appointment at another time, or if Shen Lin's parents hadn't called her every day for the past two days, she would not have agreed to Luo Qingchao's request today. On this date, naturally I couldn't meet Chen Feng.
Now Chen Feng, Yu Xiaohui, Lou Xiaojiao, Shen Lin, and Luo Qingchao met at the service desk by chance, and it became inevitable by accident.
Chen Feng didn't want to meet Shen Lin so directly, or even say hello, but Shen Lin was the first to say hello to him.
"Chen Feng, long time no see." Shen Lin greeted Chen Feng with a generous look, as if she had met a friend she hadn't seen for many years. Her expression and tone were appropriate, not exaggerated or enthusiastic. Not indifferent.
Actually speaking, it hasn’t been that long since the last time the two met unexpectedly.
Chen Feng quickly adjusted his mentality and expression, and looked like he had met a friend he hadn't seen for a long time. He smiled and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Speaking of this, he naturally turned his eyes to Luo Qingchao next to her, and asked pretending to be curious: "Is this your... friend?"
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Shen Lin's face, and she felt inwardly. Suddenly feeling guilty, she subconsciously explained: "He is my blind date, my parents forced me to come."
After saying this, she realized that she It seemed that there was no need to explain such a detailed explanation to Chen Feng. After cursing in her heart that she was a bitch, she immediately made up for it and introduced to Chen Feng: "His name is Luo Qingchao, a vice president of a listed company. He graduated from Cornell University. "
She introduced Luo Qingchao in this way, of course, to highlight his excellence. It also showed that she is very popular now and is not wanted by anyone.
Just because of what she did just now, not only Chen Feng could see her other thoughts, but the other three people could certainly see it too.
Luo Qingchao was a little suspicious when he heard Shen Lin call "Chen Feng" because he knew that Shen Lin's ex-husband seemed to be named Chen Feng, and the name was easy to remember.
After seeing Shen Lin's performance, I was basically certain that the person in front of me was Shen Lin's ex-husband.
Luo Qingchao immediately took two steps forward with a smile, stretched out his hand to Chen Feng, and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you. I must be Linlin's ex-husband. We mentioned you just now, but I didn't expect it. We met so soon . ”
Chen Feng could tell at a glance that this man was a smiling man. After meeting his blind date’s ex-husband, he could still smile so naturally and take the initiative to say hello to him. His forbearance and forbearance were not something ordinary people could achieve. Did it.
Although Chen Feng didn't like this person, he didn't want to fall out with him on the spot, so he stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "This is quite a coincidence."
Luo Qingchao took back his hand and said with a smile: "It's quite a coincidence. In fact, we saw you when you came into the restaurant with flowers before. But I didn't know that you were Linlin's ex-husband at that time, and Linlin didn't follow me either. Said. "
After all, it was just an hour ago, and his memory has always been very good. Even though he only met Chen Feng briefly, he still remembered it.
When Shen Lin heard what Luo Qingchao said, she didn't feel there was anything wrong or embarrassing about lying to him before. Because in her opinion, Luo Qingchao was just a stranger whose name she had just met. She had nothing to do with him, and she had no obligation to reveal her privacy to him.
But Chen Feng ignored Luo Qingchao's words and just looked at Shen Lin and said, "You are leaving now, so let's go together."
When Shen Lin nodded subconsciously , Lou Xiaojiao, who had been watching just now, suddenly came over, looked at Chen Feng with a smile and asked: "Chen Feng, is this beauty your ex-wife? She is really beautiful, and you are actually willing to divorce her."
Yu Xiaohui also came over, stretched out her hand to pull Lou Xiaojiao, smiled sheepishly at Chen Feng, and expressed her apology.
Originally, she planned to sit back and watch, but Lou Xiaojiao took the initiative to join in.
Lou Xiaojiao obviously doesn’t think it’s a big deal.
Before Chen Feng frowned and said nothing, Shen Lin looked at Lou Xiaojiao...and Yu Xiaohui beside her.
Lou Xiaojiao is petite, not ugly but not pretty either. Shen Lin automatically passed her by. Yu Xiaohui, on the other hand, is plump and beautiful, with a gentle and elegant young woman's temperament. , very attractive to men.
"Are they your... friends?" Shen Lin deliberately imitated Chen Feng's question just now, glanced at him, and then turned to Yu Xiaohui.
Luo Qingchao on the side was a little angry at Chen Feng for ignoring him, but now when he saw Yu Xiaohui, his eyes suddenly lit up, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and he looked at her.
"They are all my classmates." After Chen Feng said briefly, he turned away and said, "Let's go out first."
After saying that, he took the lead towards the door of the restaurant Go.
Shen Lin was the first to follow and asked in a normal tone: "I saw you coming here with flowers before, are they for your classmates?"
"Oops! I forgot the flowers. I'll go back and get them right away."
After hearing Shen Lin's words, Yu Xiaohui immediately remembered the bouquet of hyacinths that Chen Feng had given before, and immediately hurried towards the bakery inside. go.
What Yu Xiaohui said was self-evident, and Shen Lin showed a genuine expression: "It's for her. She won't be your new girlfriend, right?"
Chen Feng hasn't answered yet , Lou Xiaojiao quickly followed and said with a smile: "Yes, she is Chen Feng's new girlfriend. The two of them were in junior high school She had been flirting with each other since she was young, and Chen Feng was her first love."
After hearing this, Shen Lin felt a little depressed, but she was not that easy to fool, so she immediately retorted: "Girlfriend. If so, why don’t you give me roses or tulips?”
Chen Feng turned around and glared at Lou Xiaojiao who was causing trouble, and replied simply and clearly: "No."
These words made Shen Lin feel a lot more comfortable, but she just thought of the other women around him now. My mood immediately became depressed again.
Lou Xiaojiao received the warning from Chen Feng’s eyes just now, but she didn’t have the guts to continue messing around.
The three fell silent for a moment and quickly walked out of the restaurant door.
At this moment, Luo Qingchao was still checking out at the service desk, and could only watch the three of them go out first.
Not to mention that Chen Feng and Lou Xiaojiao ignored him and did not wait for him at all. Even Shen Lin, his blind date who had just had lunch with him, completely forgot about Chen Feng after seeing him. Chen Feng When he said leave, she immediately followed.
Luo Qingchao felt angry and unwilling, and more importantly, helpless.
As a veteran in love, he was 100% sure that Shen Lin still loved her ex-husband. She said she regretted the divorce before, which was completely true.
Such a woman who has her own heart, has been working for many years, and has rich social experience, is not so easy to fool and deceive. More importantly, she doesn't seem to worship money, which makes it even more difficult.
In the past, no woman on a blind date who knew his identity as the vice president of a listed company would not be attracted to him. Even if she pretended to be reserved at first, after a few dates, after he showed a little bit of his financial resources and knowledge, she would be attracted to him. He took it easily.
Today’s women, especially those on blind dates, are very realistic and money-worshiping.
Every time he went on a date, he only had to briefly show off the million-dollar Patek Philippe on his wrist. Not only did everyone take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms, but basically they always had eyes shining, spring water rippling, and they cooperated obediently. His strategy.
Shen Lin was an exception, which made him feel more valuable and harder to give up.
When he finally finished paying the bill and was about to chase him out, Yu Xiaohui happened to come out of the private room holding the bouquet of blue hyacinths.
So, Luo Qingchao suspended his pursuit, deliberately waited for Yu Xiaohui to approach, and then walked side by side with her, asking in a natural tone: "What do you call a beautiful woman?"
Yu Xiaohui looked at her slightly warily. He glanced at it, hesitated for a moment, and then He said his name: "Yu Xiaohui."
"Can you add me on WeChat?" Time was too rushed, and Luo Qingchao had to chase Shen Lin, so he didn't have to be polite, so he took out his phone and quickly opened his WeChat. He handed the business card to her with a sincere tone and sincere expression.
Under normal circumstances, when a handsome and wealthy man like him takes the initiative to add friends, women will also add him even out of politeness.
But unfortunately, Yu Xiaohui obviously did not give him face, and shook her head and refused: "Sorry."
After saying that, she quickened her pace and walked towards the door of the restaurant.
Luo Qingchao did not expect to be rejected, and was stunned for a moment. When he wanted to pursue him again, Yu Xiaohui had already walked out of the restaurant door.
There is an open-air parking lot outside the restaurant gate, and everyone's cars are parked there. It is obviously inappropriate for Luo Qingchao to be Yu Xiaohui's friend, and it is even worse for Shen Lin to see him.
……
“I want to talk to you about something, is that okay?”
After walking out of the restaurant, Shen Lin followed Chen Feng and said this.
"What's the matter?"
Chen Feng asked back, but he kept walking towards his car.
Shen Lin continued to follow him closely and said, "About the money you gave me last time."
Chen Feng stopped and frowned at her: "Do you think it's less? ?”
Shen Lin quickly shook her head and said, "Of course not, but the gift is too much and I can't take it."
"Then you want to give it back to me?" Chen Feng looked at her jokingly. The two have known each other for so many years and have been married together. Chen Feng certainly knows what kind of character Shen Lin is.
Although Shen Lin is not a money worshipper, she often takes money very seriously. Otherwise, after the two got married, she would not have forced Chen Feng to hand over all his salary to bear everything at home. Living expenses, even if his salary later was no longer enough to cover the family's daily expenses, she had no intention of letting go. Instead, she forced Chen Feng to borrow money from his parents.
The money she earned was basically spent on herself. The money she spent on their family was not much, but it was certainly not much.
So, in Chen Feng's opinion, she was reluctant to return the one million that Chen Feng gave her. Besides, if she wanted to pay it back, she didn't know his bank account number and could transfer it to him at any time.
There's no need to wait until now.
Sure enough, Shen Lin said with some embarrassment: "I personally don't want your money, and I want to return it to you, but my parents disagree and say that if I don't want it, I can give it to them. After all, I am the only daughter they have. Therefore, the matter was delayed like this. When it comes to you, I suddenly feel that your one million is too much. I want to return half of it to you, can you?"
Chen Feng stared at her for a while, wondering what her intention was. , he didn’t bother to guess, and he didn’t want to have anything to do with her and her parents anymore, so he just shook his head and said, “It’s better. Forget it. Your parents are right. They only have you as their daughter. It’s not easy to raise you. If you don’t want to take money, you can just support them in their old age. Besides, I’m not short of that. One hundred thousand."
Shen Lin frowned: "But I feel uneasy with your money. I still think you are giving me charity.”
“You are overthinking it. If I were giving charity to you, I wouldn’t give you so much money. Speaking of which, we have owed each other before, but it must be me. I owe you a lot, so I’ll give you the money as a kind of compensation.”
After hearing what Chen Feng said, Shen Lin's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said with a guilty look: "I was a little too selfish in the past..."
While Shen Lin was brewing feelings and accumulating tears, she followed. Lou Xiaojiao, who was not far behind them, interrupted at an inappropriate time and shouted: "Chen Feng, are you leaving?"
Her voice immediately destroyed the atmosphere that the two of them had inadvertently created.
Shen Lin couldn't wait to turn around and go up to give her a big mouth.
Chen Feng also frowned a little and said unhappily: "What do you care about me? If you want to leave, go first."
Lou Xiaojiao curled her lips and said, "It's enough for you to talk so much when you met your ex-wife. Since we are so close and talk so much, why did you want a divorce in the first place?"
Chen Feng waved to her impatiently. Said: "You You are so talkative and nosy, where can you stay?"
Lou Xiaojiao said dissatisfied: "Why, my light bulb is an eyesore?"
Chen Feng does not Wanting to argue with this woman Lou Xiaojiao, she turned to Shen Lin and said: "The past is in the past, and you have to look forward. It would be great if you are willing to go out on a blind date now. After all, you are still young, and you might be able to find someone just as good as me." So a little bit of a man When the time comes, you have to treat him well."
When Chen Feng said this, tears finally came out of Shen Lin's eyes, and her voice choked up: "I think it will be difficult to meet a man like you again... …”
Just when Shen Lin was full of emotions and preparing her next sincere words, Lou Xiaojiao's hateful voice sounded again: "Xiaohui! This way!"
Lou Xiaojiao deliberately shouted loudly towards Yu Xiaohui. In fact, Without her shouting, Yu Xiaohui would have seen them long ago.
Shen Lin couldn't hold back this time and glared at Lou Xiaojiao who was deliberately causing trouble with a murderous look.
Lou Xiaojiao pretended not to see her murderous look, turned to Chen Feng and said to herself: "Chen Feng, Xiaohui will take your car back. I have to go somewhere else."
