Fortunately

Chapter 46

Yan Youwei sneezed three times in a row, the last one was a little loud, and the others in the office couldn't help but look towards her.

She was so embarrassed that she repeatedly raised her hand to say sorry, and covered her nose with a tissue.

Throughout the Spring Festival, she was as busy as a spinning top. When others were eating reunion dinner, she was busy going to various places to report on the scene of the New Year, taking pictures of others eating and setting off firecrackers, while she herself ate a box of slightly cold lunch after the news was finished.

She suddenly felt that earning the extra 3000 yuan a month was not a big deal.Although there is a lot of money, she paid more, and the investment and return were far out of proportion. She was so tired that she became thin, sick and fell ill. Sometimes thinking about it, it would be better to go back to Ren Tingting's place to ring the bell.

She wiped her nose carelessly with a tissue, and raised her hand to see that it was almost six o'clock.The work in hand was almost done, she didn't dare to stay for a long time, fearing that another unexpected incident would trip her up, she hurriedly packed her things, said goodbye to her colleagues, and left.

As soon as he walked downstairs to the hall, the phone in his bag rang.No matter how good-tempered Yan Youwei was, she couldn't help scolding her mother, and cruelly pretended not to hear, and continued walking forward with her head buried.After the phone rang a few times and hung up, she was relieved.

Although spring has begun, the cold wind in the evening is still unbearable.Yan You adjusted her scarf slightly, followed the flow of people and walked quickly to the subway station to take the subway.

During the evening rush hour, the road and the subway station were crowded with people, Yan Youwei finally bought a ticket and squeezed into the train, picked a less crowded place to stand, hugged the railing and closed his eyes to rest.

The moment the car started, she remembered the phone call just now, so she couldn't bear curiosity and took it out to read it.As a result, I couldn't help being shocked.The call was not from a colleague from the TV station. The screen clearly showed that just now, Sun Jinyang called her a total of twelve times.This number is really surprising.

What the hell is this young man doing?The two haven't seen each other since the last class reunion. I heard that he went abroad for vacation.Looking at the situation today, is he back?
Whenever she thought of this master, she couldn't help but think of another one. Zeng Zimu's face rushed to her eyes, and she couldn't shake it off no matter what.The heart-stopping words still echoed in her ears: "Yan Youwei, think about it carefully, is there any secret between you and me?"

These words were like a curse, and they kept ringing in her ears throughout the Spring Festival.Yan Youwei shivered, shaking involuntarily.Then the phone rang again.The quiet environment in the subway made the ringtone sound extraordinarily clear, Yan Youwei's hands trembled in fright, and the phone almost fell to the ground.

She picked it up and said angrily, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Youwei, where are you now?" Sun Jinyang sounded very low, as if calling her quietly.

"I'm on the subway home, what's the matter?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Yan Youwei couldn't help but lose his patience.She's been in a bad mood lately.

"What's the matter with you? Let me tell you, I won't act for you anymore. If you have a conscience, come here and let me beat you up." Dare to take advantage of her while drunk, if you really don't teach him a lesson no more.

Yan Youwei always taught Sun Jinyang a lesson.This kid was very motherly when he was young, probably not because his biological mother was always bullied by his stepmother, he was much less courageous than ordinary boys, and would cry when encountering something.At this time, Yan Youwei always stood in front of him and taught others a lesson for him.After beating the man away, he turned around and taught him a lesson, and gradually corrected his effeminate problems.

No wonder Zeng Zimu said that he has an Oedipus plot, so thinking about it, it probably is true.

Sun Jinyang smiled reluctantly on the other end of the phone: "What happened that day was an accident, I was drunk."

"I really regret accompanying you to the class reunion. I didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food, but I let you eat the tofu."

"I regret it too."

"What do you regret?"

"I knew I shouldn't have taken you there. My brother ran into him, and I almost died in his hands."

Speaking of this Yan Youwei couldn't stop getting angry.The reason why she is in such an embarrassing situation is all thanks to Sun Jinyang.If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't go to the class reunion, and wouldn't drink so much alcohol.If he hadn't left himself and ran away, she wouldn't have fallen into Zeng Zimu either.

Did she say something she shouldn't have said to Zeng Zimu that night?Yan Youwei really wanted to yell and ask God.

Sun Jinyang was still on the phone on the phone.

"You really deserve a beating. You should really be beaten to death by Zeng Zimu. I accompanied you to support the scene with good intentions, but you threw me drunk to Zeng Zimu and ran away by yourself. Do you have a conscience? Sun Jinyang, you are simply not human .”

"I was wronged. I wanted to take a taxi to take you home. But my brother suddenly appeared. Who knew he would go to that hotel that day. I didn't throw you to him, but he snatched you away. "

Sun Jinyang spoke completely in his own favor, never mentioning that he wanted to take advantage of Yan Youwei to kiss her secretly and even take her back to the hotel.

Yan Youwei kept snorting coldly on the other end of the phone, and Sun Jinyang was quite ashamed to hear that voice.In order to change the subject, he could only ask:

"How were you doing that night?"

"It's been more than half a month, and you only came to care about me after the end of the year, okay? Sun Jinyang, thanks to my goodness to you in the past, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

In fact, Yan Youwei wasn't so angry at first, Sun Jinyang didn't care about her, anyway, she doesn't need others to take care of her as an adult.But the point is that he shouldn't hand over his drunken self to Zeng Zimu, causing her to sleep with Zeng Zimu in a daze for the whole night without talking about it. Maybe even Yang Yang's life experience will be confessed to him.

The thing that pissed her off the most was that she didn't even know whether she said it or not.After Zeng Zimu said that that day, she kept pulling him and questioning him endlessly.But Zeng Zimu's mouth was made of a diamond drill, and he couldn't pry it open.Yan Youwei saw that he was pretending to be mysterious, and she was not sure if she really said it.Maybe the other party did it on purpose, acting to coax her to say it herself.

So she bit her tongue and never let go of that secret.In the end, Zeng Zimu's phone rang, and he answered that he had work to do, left her in the hotel and left.And since that day, Yan Youwei never saw him again, and Zeng Zimu completely cut off contact with her as if he had evaporated from the world.

The more this was the more tormented, Yan Youwei felt like a frog being boiled in warm water, unable to move at all, and could only watch helplessly as death enveloped him.

Can you give me a good time?

Yan Youwei shouted loudly in her heart.Sun Jinyang's noisy voice was still in my ear: "I didn't say a word about your secret anyway. I'm quite loyal."

"Yes, if you dare to say it, I will kill you."

"But it's strange. I talked with my brother for so long today, but he didn't ask. He should be able to guess something. Why doesn't he ask anything? Youwei, you won't talk to him by yourself. Have you said it?"

It's really a pot that doesn't open.Yan Youwei was so angry that she hung up the phone without even saying "goodbye".

For the next time, she was absent-minded, and her mind was full of her own troubles.As a result, she took the subway past the stop, and after she came out, she took the train in the opposite direction and sat back.When I got out of the platform, I couldn't find where the ticket was, which wasted a lot of time.Finally, when she "floated" home like a wandering spirit, she looked up and saw only dots of stars on the dark night.

It's been a long time since I saw this night scene, but it's a pity that she's really not in the mood to watch it today.It was rare to get off work on time, and in the end she didn't get home until nearly eight o'clock.

Yang Yang was watching cartoons in the living room, when he saw her come back, he jumped up and begged for a hug, rubbed against her pants and said nothing.Yan Youwei squatted down and hugged him, and the little guy climbed on his nose and face and hung on her body and couldn't get off.

So that day, Yan Youwei took the child with her when she ate and slept with her, and only asked her mother to take care of the child when she was taking a bath.Most of the time she was with the child was quite happy, but as soon as she thought of the fact that Zeng Zimu might know about Yang Yang's life experience, her situation would immediately fall to the bottom, as if someone had thrown ice water on her of.

From that night on, she was especially afraid that the phone would ring.She even jumped up when the landline at home rang.I usually have no energy at work. One moment I was full of energy and resolute, but the next second I became sluggish, and I have no interest in anything.

Because he was in a trance, and his work was not going smoothly, there were several small problems within a few days, so that when he met Jiang Chengzong in the corridor that day, he stopped and asked her: "What's the matter with you recently, are you in trouble?" gone?"

Yan Youwei thought, yes, she is indeed in a lot of trouble.But I can't tell anyone about this, so I can only smile apologetically at the other person: "I'm sorry, I've caught a cold recently, and I'm a bit out of shape."

"Don't tell me you're sorry, I'm not your boss."

Jiang Chengzong is indeed not her immediate superior.But she also figured out one thing during this period of time, that is, Jiang Chengzong has a pivotal position in the news station.Even the entire media group, he has the right to speak.Such a person is more terrifying than the boss.

Seeing her dead face, Jiang Chengzong tried to guess: "Why, did you quarrel with Zeng Zimu?"

"No, it's more troublesome than arguing."

"Then you can do it yourself." After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Yan Youwei looked at his back and murmured: "It's too heartless, once you hear it's Zeng Zimu, just leave."

Jiang Chengzong stopped and turned back to smile at her: "I am relieved knowing that it is Zeng Zimu. He is not difficult to deal with, you just need to follow a rule."

"what?"

"Be obedient."

Yan Youwei who got such an answer really couldn't laugh or cry.But that night she received a more dumbfounding news.It was Ren Tingting who called her and told her that there would be a ceremony for the school's centennial celebration in two days, so that Yan Youwei could remember to attend on time.

Yan Youwei didn't have the mind to deal with these things now, so he directly refused, "No."

Ren Tingting didn't let her go: "I have to go, the professor has already called to inform me."

"I didn't get the call."

"Don't worry, it's not your turn yet, and you won't be able to run away for a while. What are we doing, media people? How can we miss such a big scene. The school definitely hopes that we will go back and use the resources in our hands to give them a lot of money." Propaganda. Oh yes, I heard that Zeng Zimu will also go.”

Then she won't go, she can't hide from him now, how could she send him to someone to abuse him.So after hanging up the phone, she decided to ignore Ren Tingting's call and turn off the phone immediately, in case the professor called her later.

But just as she was about to press the off button, the phone rang again.She thought it was Ren Tingting calling again, so she picked it up without even looking at it, and said angrily, "Miss, what else can I do?"

After two seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Zeng Zimu's voice rang out: "It's me."

Yan Youwei desperately told herself not to be nervous, but in the end she was still unbearably nervous.

She stuttered for a long time before she managed to finish a sentence: "What...what...something."

There were only four words in total, but she said it as if it was so hard to give a speech.

"What's wrong with you, are you cold?"

"No, I'm not cold. Is there anything wrong with me?"

"Well, I want to ask you if you will go to the school celebration on the weekend?"

"Go, go..." What are you going to do?

Before Yan Youwei could finish his sentence, he spun the word "Go" twice, and Zeng Zimu interjected directly: "Okay, since you're going, I'll pick you up when the time comes. Saturday morning at eight o'clock, remember to wear formal clothes. "

After saying this, he hung up the phone, exactly the same as every time he called before.Yan Youwei sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and slowly let go of her hands. The phone fell out of her palm and fell to the ground, but she didn't notice it.

It seemed like something had just happened, and she seemed to have messed things up inadvertently.

Zeng Zimu must have given her ecstasy soup over the phone, that's why she agreed to attend the celebration by accident.Shouldn't she have said "no"?
It seemed that she was really terrified.What should I do now, is it still too late to call back to recover?Just make up an excuse to say that she just forgot, she has to work overtime on Saturday and has no time to go back to her alma mater.

But the other party is Zeng Zimu, not Sun Jinyang. Even Sun Jinyang would not believe such an excuse for being mentally retarded.Maybe even Yang Yang wouldn't believe it.

Thinking of Yang Yang, Yan Youwei's face collapsed again.Zeng Zimu never mentioned Yangyang on the phone just now, but it doesn't mean he will never mention it.The more he was like this, the more worried Yan Youwei was, if he came up like a normal man and put on a quarrelsome posture, she would not be afraid.Anyway, she had something to say to choke him back.

But he is so lukewarm, neither anxious nor slow, it is like boiling a frog in warm water, and it will boil people to death.

Based on Yan Youwei's understanding of Zeng Zimu, she knew that the day when she participated in the celebration, she must be in danger.But if you don't go, it should be more troublesome.

Since that night, Yan Youwei has never had a solid sleep.Yan's mother saw her lack of energy every day, so she kindly took Yangyang to her room to sleep.But Yan Youwei occupied the entire bed by himself, but still tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, suffering great torment both physically and mentally.

She knew that she was the frog in the warm water now, and she already knew that the water was going to boil, but she couldn't escape.

She even thought that she might as well arrive early on the weekend, so that she could listen to Zeng Zimu's thoughts.Knowing what the other party thinks, she can come up with countermeasures.Like now, I have nothing but worry.

He called for no reason and said that he would take her back to his alma mater. Was it really just to participate in the celebration?impossible!
But she didn't have the guts to call Zeng Zimu to ask for clarification, so she could only continue to suffer like this until eight o'clock on Saturday morning.

She always remembered what Jiang Chengzong had said to her, so she dressed up obediently, and then put on a formal suit, a bright red dress, and appeared neatly in front of Zeng Zimu.

Seeing her like this when Zeng Zimu got out of the car, he couldn't help smiling, praised "beautiful" and opened the door for others.Yan Youwei couldn't laugh at all, and got into the car with slightly stiff steps, wishing that she could become an invisible person from the beginning to the end.

I don't know if Zeng Zimu tortured her on purpose, anyway, he didn't say a word on the way to school.The atmosphere in the car was very strange, Yan Youwei felt like a criminal waiting to be sentenced, but the judge next to him was still unwilling to take out the sentence.

When the car reached the gate of the school, it started to get stuck in traffic. Looking at the slowly moving traffic ahead, Yan Youwei wanted to chat with Zeng Zimu several times.But when he opened his mouth, the courage also ran out at the same time.She peeked at Zeng Zimu's expression, and found that he had been looking at the front blankly, as if he didn't care about her.

What kind of trouble is this going to do? Can you give me a good time?

After more than 20 minutes of waiting, the car finally entered the school. Under the guidance of the staff and colorful flags along the way, Zeng Zimu drove the car to the temporarily allocated parking lot, and then got out of the car to open the door for Yan Youwei.

It wasn't until now that Yan Youwei found out that Zeng Zimu didn't drive that Continental car today.This reminded her of the traffic accident not long ago.So she finally found a topic: "How is your hand?"

"It's ready."

"Really? Show me."

Zeng Zimu smiled slightly: "I don't mind showing you my hands, but are you sure you really want to see them on this occasion?"

He raised his chin at Yan Youwei, and the other party looked around, and found that there were cars coming in and stopping one after another, and the men and women who got off the cars seemed to be looking at them.

Looking at the dress of these people, they are very formal and gorgeous.Looking at the cars they drove, although they were not as good as Zeng Zimu's, they were all luxury cars on the market.She understood immediately, it seemed that this parking lot was specially used to recruit outstanding alumni.

Zeng Zimu led Yan Youwei forward.This parking lot is next to the school's largest auditorium, and it took only a few steps to enter the room.Zeng Zimu took the elevator to take Yan Youwei to a conference room on the second floor, then stopped at the door and said, "I have something to do, so let's leave first. You can eat here obediently, there will be various programs in the auditorium later, you You can take a look around. By the way, remember to go to the gymnasium first, there will be an opening ceremony."

What Zeng Zimu said was quite normal, but it had a deeper meaning to Yan Youwei's ears.It feels like he has arranged everything for himself, and the tone of the word "obediently" is really similar to Jiang Chengzong's tone.

Yan Youwei understood in her heart that this was a warning to her not to run around.This man will definitely not let himself go today, maybe she really said something that day.

So she nodded and obediently entered the reception room.There is a buffet party inside, and it is already bustling and lively at the moment.As soon as Yan Youwei entered the crowd, she was a little lost. Ren Tingting's eyes were sharp, so she picked her out immediately, dragged her to the sofa beside her, and brought her a drink.

The sofas in that circle were all their former classmates, Yan Youwei still remembered their names, and after greeting them one by one, they chatted with them.I haven't seen each other in seven or eight years, so when we meet, we naturally ask about the recent situation.As a woman, the most concerned thing is nothing more than marriage and children.

A woman named Liu Qian pulled Yan Youwei and asked, "Youwei, how are you doing now, are you married?"

"Her son is almost three years old." Ren Tingting came out with a plate of small cakes, and answered first.

So everyone showed a clear expression.As soon as most people heard that she had a child, they took it for granted that she must be married, so their interest in pressing questions was cut in half.In addition, Ren Tingting deliberately changed the subject on the sidelines, talking about the arrangements for today's celebration, and other people's thoughts were also brought to the past.

Yan Youwei smiled gratefully at Ren Tingting, thinking that she was really lucky to have her.Compared with Ren Tingting, she is indeed too tender.

As soon as Ren Tingting talked about the celebration, someone immediately talked about what she had heard: "Do you know that Zeng Zimu, who used to be in the enterprise management department, has suffered a lot this time?"

"What did he donate?"

"Gymnasium. The gymnasium that we will go to see the opening ceremony later was built with his money. Its specifications and standards are just like that of the Bird's Nest. Ours just doesn't occupy enough land, it's a little smaller than the Bird's Nest."

Everyone laughed, knowing she was exaggerating.No matter how rich Zeng Zimu is, how can a university compare with a national-level project?If Zeng Zimu really paid for such a building, it would be too high-profile.

Seeing everyone laughing, the gossiping girl continued: "Don't laugh, there is a new swimming pool, I have already visited it. Really, it's no worse than the Water Cube. We students are so lucky , How could we have such treatment back then. Why didn’t Zeng Zimu donate earlier.”

"He donated when he was going to school. How high-profile is that? The country is No. 1. Besides, he was not the chairman of Zhimei at that time. Is his father so generous?"

"He's not good now. I said you guys just don't know how to make progress. Why didn't you catch him back then. If you caught him, your net worth will jump even higher now."

Liu Qian smiled the most: "How is this possible? Even if it's super glue, if it sticks to him, you have to shake it off. I always thought Zeng Zimu was weird. Let's just invest in his alma mater this time, everyone likes it." Building a library hall or something shows that he is knowledgeable and self-cultivated. He just built a few gymnasiums, which is really unique."

When she said that, everyone subconsciously looked at Yan Youwei.In the past, she and Zeng Zimu were famous for their good relationship, and everyone was curious about how the two of them are doing now.

Except for Ren Tingting, almost no one knew about the marriage and divorce of Yan Youwei and Zeng Zimu.

But there are always exceptions. Just when everyone was curious about gossip, a woman named Dai Jiaojiao appeared, came over and smiled and said, "Oh, Youwei, long time no see. I heard that you are divorced, did you remarry? "

"Divorce?" someone called out.

Dai Jiaojiao continued to shoot cold arrows: "Yes, don't you know? Youwei married Zeng Zimu. But I heard that they divorced, so it seems that they got married later, right? By the way, why didn't your husband come today? Ke Jianzhong Isn't he also from our school? Is he embarrassed to come, afraid of meeting Zeng Zimu?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing a dynamite bag into the septic tank, and all the women on the sofa exploded.Ren Tingting was so angry that she almost jumped up, but Yan Youwei was surprisingly calm, grabbed Ren Tingting, and smiled at Dai Jiaojiao: "It seems that you are not well-informed, Jiaojiao. Ke Jianzhong passed away a few years ago, why do you still think he came?" If he comes, he will definitely come to you immediately, don't be scared."

Dai Jiaojiao's face turned pale instantly, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
