Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

Lin Jing left disappointed.

Zheng Wei did not talk to him about the past or feelings as he wished. Instead, she told him directly not to wait for her, not to be delayed by her, and to find someone else!

Her decisiveness made Lin Jing even a little dazed, because the impression he had of the girl next door, Zheng Wei, was definitely not the decisive person in front of him.

He felt very upset, but after returning to the car, he gradually felt relieved.

After all, he was mentally prepared before coming here.

If Zheng Wei had loved him in addition to hatred over the past seven or eight years, then he still had a chance...

And now Zheng Wei doesn't love him anymore, what else can he do? Cling to her? He has to save face too!
He drove the car, turned the corner and headed towards the entrance of the villa area.

In front of the Fu family’s gate.

A tall, handsome man holding a baby made him a little concerned.

So he looked out the window and met the man's eyes.

The man smiled at him, then looked away, biting the baby's little fingers that were scratching his face, looking extremely happy.

Lin Jing read it, was touched, and then continued to move forward.

Sister Fu came over and joked:
"I thought you would tell this self-righteous Mr. Lin that his childhood sweetheart, whom he has loved since childhood, has now fallen into your arms and given birth to a lovely daughter for you, and you would do what you call killing someone and destroying their heart. Now it seems that you are so soft-hearted!"

Chen Tao explained with a smile: "As soon as I saw his expression, I knew he would not bother Weiwei anymore. So I, your husband, don't have to do it myself."

Sister Fu snorted, "I don't want a scumbag who keeps three women at home as my husband!"

Chen Tao laughed and said to his little daughter in his arms:
"Baby, your mom doesn't want me, so you definitely want me, right? The day after tomorrow you will go back to Hong Kong Island with dad, and dad will accompany you to watch The Great Shark. In August, we will go to Athens to watch the Olympics."

The little one, who was less than six months old, immediately let out an "ah" and happily agreed.

Sister Fu became jealous on the spot. She grabbed her daughter's hand and bit it gently, then kicked Chen Tao, letting the father and daughter know who was the boss.

August 8, 27: p.m. local time in Athens.

Chen Tao's family, including Sister Fu's children, witnessed Liu Xiang win the gold medal in the hurdles and break the Olympic record.

Several women agreed that if Chen Tao got involved in sports, he would definitely achieve great success.

It’s the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

Li Weijuan got married again, but still did not send invitations to Ruan Guan and Zheng Wei.

Two years ago, her husband was a bald wealthy businessman in his fifties with two children.

At the beginning of this year, the uncle fell into his old habit of getting bored with the old and loving the new, so he divorced Li Weijuan and gave her a considerable sum of compensation.

This was exactly what Li Weijuan wanted. After all, that was what she wanted. What else could she want? His two tricks?
Two months ago, another middle-aged rich man who was not yet bald fell in love with her.

After observing him for a while, she felt that the uncle was a decent person and not the stingy and fussy type, so she agreed.

But she also had to have some shame, thinking that getting married and divorced was not a glorious thing after all, and she was too embarrassed to ask her best friends to celebrate with her.

In fact, as Zhuo Mei and her husband went to Norway to settle down, Zhu Xiaobei was still competing with herself in the frontier, He Luya was at ease in the small town to accompany her husband, and Li Weijuan was getting rich in Beijing with the gold coins of a rich uncle. It was inevitable that the two daughters, Ruan and Zheng, became increasingly alienated from these "Four Heavenly Queens".

Later on, the last bit of common language will disappear.

2005.

This year, Wang Xiaoqin finally had a daughter and named her Zhao Yuqiong.

Zheng Wei also had a son, named Zhao Yuliang.

At this point, Chen Tao had accomplished his mission and no longer had to be nagged by them because of the child.

Ruan Guan actually had some ideas, but was persuaded by Chen Tao. Otherwise, with Wang Xiaomei's jealous personality, wouldn't he end up as King Wen of Zhou? No, just enjoy life more!

2006.

This year, Lin Jing got married, and her husband was one of her ex-boyfriends.

He also sent an invitation to Zheng Wei, but Zheng Wei had to take care of the children and did not attend the banquet.

Chen Xiaozheng also got married.

The target was not Zeng Yu, but a fellow villager of his. The other party's family did not have a background that could help him, but she had a stable job in her hometown, and could help him take care of his sick mother and do housework, allowing him to pursue progress without worries.

Compared to before, he has been polished a little more, but still not to the point where he can make progress.

There is no rush. After all, although it is said that there are three totals and five items, relatively speaking, five totals and eight items are more realistic.

Moreover, no matter how good a horse is, it still needs a good horse trainer to appreciate it.

In fact, Chen Xiaozheng had thought about running away and changing his job, such as taking the civil service exam. But after thinking it over, he decided not to do so.

Changing jobs is not difficult, but what is difficult is how to stand out and reach the goal he sets for himself.

Because of work, he and his wife are often apart from each other, which is annoying, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

November 8, 2007, the beginning of winter.

Magic City.

Xiang Yuan, a recent graduate from the School of Economics of Zhijiang University, left the hotel and took a taxi to the Hongan Building on the riverside for an interview.

In addition to her, there are four students from local prestigious schools who will come to apply for the job.

This is normal. The treatment at Red Shore Capital is so good. In the first year of employment, the annual salary is nearly one million, excluding bonuses.

This was 2007.

Unfortunately, most people went to Red Coast Consulting, while Red Coast Capital rarely recruited people.

Today's job fair is hosted by Hongan Consulting.

Of course, Hong'an Consulting is also a top player in the industry. In just a few years, it has become a beacon in the industry. The guidance and foresight of its economic reports are unparalleled.

So, today these four applicants are all gearing up to beat the other three competitors.

As for Xiang Yuan, she had already been designated as Zheng Wei's secretary, and she came here just to go through the formalities.

A quarter past nine, Hongan Building, Hongan Consulting Shanghai Branch, small conference room.

Xiang Yuan took a sip of tea first, then took out his cell phone and started playing Snake.

The other two men and two women looked at each other.

It was not because Xiang Yuan looked so nonchalant, but because the interview time had arrived but the interview had not started yet.

It was not until forty minutes later that a woman came over and asked curiously, "Who is Miss Xiang Yuan? President Zheng asked you to go to the coffee shop downstairs to wait for President Zhao."

Xiang Yuan was surprised and asked, "Boss Zhao? Brother Shiyong is also in the Magic City?"

The woman nodded with a smile.

When she saw Xiang Yuan before, she thought that this silly little girl was just cannon fodder who came here to run with her.

But who would have thought that she was actually Mr. Zhao's sister!

Xiang Yuan got a positive answer, first said thank you, then picked up his bag and went downstairs to wait for Chen Tao.

The other two men and two women once again looked at each other.

And this time, it was indeed because of Xiang Yuan.

The cafe downstairs.

Xiang Yuan, who had a face that looked like a green tea and a little vixen, looked at the handsome brother in front of him and said with resentment:

"Brother Shiyong, how long has it been since we last met? Have you visited me at school?"

Another love brain.

Chen Tao said seriously: "I am usually very busy, and I am afraid that it will affect your studies, so it is not easy for me to visit you."

Xiang Yuan blushed and said, "But I miss you very much."

Chen Tao taught him seriously: "You want a married man? That's not okay. Don't think about it anymore."

Xiang Yuan chuckled: "Well, I don't want to, because I have graduated and can see you anytime."

“I’m really busy.”

"Busy? Brother, you don't want Sister Ruan to know what kind of gift you gave me on the night of my nineteenth birthday, right?"

"I was drunk at the time." "Hehe, you get drunk once or twice every month, you are such an alcoholic! Do you want to drink more? Anyway, I want to drink, will you accompany me?"

"Just do it with all your strength!"

"..."

The year 2008 has arrived.

This year is a turning point.

In April, after Qingming Festival, Chen Tao and his family arrived at the last stop of their trip, Jinling.

On the 8th, Zeng Yu's father passed away.

On the 9th, Ruan Guan and Zheng Wei also learned the news. After discussing it, they decided to go to pay their respects.

After all, he is their teacher.

That afternoon, the two came to the funeral home hand in hand.

Zeng Yu came out to receive them.

Time is like a knife. Now she is no longer as pretty as before, but at the same time she has a more mature charm.

And what about Ruan Guan and Zheng Wei?
Time seems to have left no trace on them, but made them even more beautiful.

"I am sorry for your loss."

As Zeng Yu's former love rival, Zheng Wei said sincerely:
"Dean Zeng was a good teacher. I didn't expect him to leave so early."

At least in Zheng Wei's memory, Dean Zeng was indeed very kind. Not only would he smile and remind her to listen carefully in class to avoid failing the course, he would also often sing a song at the school party. He was very approachable...

Ruan Guan also bowed solemnly.

She couldn't help but think back to her four years in college and felt deeply moved.

Her youth was ultimately not immortal.

After all, she is no longer the love-brained girl she used to be. But she is still full of love for the most important man in her life.

Five minutes later, while they were chatting with Zeng Yu, a man who was expected to come appeared.

It’s Chen Xiaozheng, his wife and children.

For other students, Dean Zeng might have only fulfilled his responsibilities as a teacher; but for Chen Xiaozheng, Dean Zeng did more than just fulfill his responsibilities.

So, he will definitely come.

Zheng Wei looked at him, feeling a great sense of strangeness.

It's not just because we haven't seen each other for many years.

Also, Chen Xiaozheng's appearance has changed a lot.

Although Chen Xiaozheng is only in his early thirties now, he is no longer as thin as he used to be and has gained a lot of weight.

The originally fair face not only became much darker, but also became rounder.

The most regrettable thing is his hairline, the trend of moving northwards can no longer be stopped.

Of course, these changes also brought rich rewards, and he should be able to become a project manager smoothly before the age of thirty-five.

There is still room for improvement.

The ceremony is over.

Chen Xiaozheng whispered something to his wife and then walked towards Zheng Wei.

"Do you have time?"

Chen Xiaozheng said calmly: "I want to talk to you."

Zheng Wei glanced at his watch and said to Ruan Guan:

"Ruan Ruan, go back to the car first. I will be back in half an hour at the latest."

Then he looked at Chen Xiaozheng and said, "Let's go to the corridor and talk! I think half an hour should be enough."

Chen Xiaozheng nodded.

in the corridor.

Chen Xiaozheng spoke first: "Are you married?"

Zheng Wei did not answer but asked: "What if you are married, what if you are not married?"

Chen Xiaozheng smiled bitterly: "Do you still hate me?"

Zheng Wei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Maybe you don't believe it, but over the years, I have never thought about you, not even once. I have no love or hate for you."

Chen Xiaozheng sighed, "I believe it! But do you believe that I have thought of you more than once over the years?"

Zheng Wei laughed: "You already have a wife and children, but you still want another woman? Are you still the Chen Xiaozheng I know?"

Chen Xiaozheng shook his head: "No. I don't even recognize myself now, but there is nothing I can do. Maybe this is growth! On the contrary, you are still the Zheng Wei in my memory. There is no difference in appearance or personality."

Zheng Wei said coldly: "If this is all you want to say to me, then there is no need to talk anymore."

Chen Xiaozheng's Adam's apple moved, and after hesitating for a moment, he confessed:

"I want to say that you are the only woman I have ever been moved by..."

Zheng Wei interrupted, "But you are not the only one for me. So let it go! I have to go back to be with my daughter and son. I don't have time to talk to you about this."

After that, he turned around and left.

Daughter, son...

These two words were like words written by Maitreya Buddha on Monkey King's hand, attracting Chen Xiaozheng to follow.

In any case, he wanted to know if Zheng Wei had lied to her.

Ruan Guan also met Zhang Kai, who was late, and his wife and daughter in the parking lot.

Looking at the goddess who was as beautiful as yesterday and whose temperament became more and more ethereal, Zhang Kai had to try hard to suppress the throbbing in his heart so that he could greet her as if he were meeting an old friend again.

Ruan Guan responded with a smile, just like she did ten years ago.

Her two children also politely called him "Uncle Zhang".

Zhang Kai was overjoyed when he heard this.

At this time, Zheng Wei came over.

In the new black Cayenne, five-year-old Zhao Yusu and three-year-old Zhao Yuliang, upon seeing their mother, opened the car door and rushed over with smiles on their faces.

He ran and called: "Mom..."

Zheng Wei, who didn't look strong, actually picked up the two children in each hand. He kissed his son first, then rubbed his daughter, and then said hello to his good buddy Lao Zhang.

Open your eyes and be surprised.

Is Zheng Wei married?

Didn’t you say you were single? How come you have a child?

Chen Xiaozheng also found it unbelievable.

He hesitated and said, "Weiwei, they are..."

Zheng smiled and said, "Sorry, let's introduce you to each other next time we have a chance! I really have to leave now."

After saying that, he walked towards his car.

After she settled the child and sat in the front, three-year-old Zhao Yuliang finally took her eyes off Chen Xiaozheng, and then saw that her father's car had already set off, so she smiled and urged:
"Mom, Dad is gone, hurry up and catch up!"

After hearing this, and looking at the boy's eyebrows that were extremely similar to someone else's, Zhang Kai felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.

Chen Xiaozheng was also stunned.
