Chapter 363: Small Love Lingers, Big Love Lets Go (5000)
"Nonsense, am I the kind of person who could do such a thing? I didn't even have time to say a few words." Gao Qiang felt wronged and choked up, "Old Chen, I know my request may be a bit excessive, but you..."
"Address." Chen Qingrong interrupted him directly, "Stop talking nonsense, I'll go over to you and have a drink with you and talk, otherwise you'll easily cause trouble."
"Father!"
"Hey, good son."
After chatting for a few more words, Chen Qingrong hung up the phone.
When he turned around, he saw Tang Xiaoru appear behind him.
Chen Qingrong was stunned, "Baby, when did you come?"
"I just came behind you." Tang Xiaoru came to his side and looked up at him, "Was it Gao Qiang who called you?"
"OK."
Chen Qingrong narrated the whole story.
After listening to this, Tang Xiaoru said very considerately, "Then you should go and accompany him. He is emotionally unstable right now. It would be bad if he does something stupid again. I will help you explain it to your parents. You don't have to worry."
Chen Qingrong thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I don't know what time I can come back, if you are too sleepy, go to bed first."
"Got it."
Chen Qingrong went out to get a taxi.
Not long after, he took a taxi to the place where he had agreed to meet Gao Qiang.
Phoenix Restaurant.
He got out of the car and just arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, he saw Gao Qiang sitting dejectedly on the stairs outside, huddled up in a ball, looking weak, helpless and pitiful.
Chen Qingrong walked up to him and kicked him lightly, "Hey, you're crying? Should I come back later?"
Gao Qiang raised his head and looked at him, his eyes red, but he still said stubbornly, "I, I didn't cry, I just feel a little uncomfortable."
"Will drinking a little make you feel better?"
"can."
"That's fine." Chen Qingrong pulled him up, "Let's go, let's go drink some beer and eat some barbecue. There's nothing in this world that can't be solved by a barbecue. If there is, then we can have two barbecues."
"Then can you treat me?"
"Go, go, go."
Chen Qingrong dragged him to a nearby night market, found a barbecue stall and sat down, then asked the boss for thirty skewers of kidney, thirty skewers of lamb, thirty skewers of beef, and a case of beer.
boo.
Chen Qingrong bit open the cap of a bottle of wine with his teeth, and then handed the bottle to Gao Qiang, "Come on, have a drink, a little drunkenness can help you forget your worries."
"Thank you." Gao Qiang took it and started drinking it.
"Hey, wait for me to toast with you!"
Chen Qingrong became anxious and quickly opened another bottle, then symbolically clinked his bottle with his.
Snapped.
Gao Qiang put the beer heavily on the table, and then said to Chen Qingrong with a tired face, "It's over, it's all over. My relationship didn't last long, alas."
Chen Qingrong asked him, "What exactly happened? How did you behave after you met? Tell me in detail."
Gao Qiang smiled bitterly, "How else can I behave? After I met him, I called him politely, and then asked the waiter to take my order. But Uncle Yang didn't even let me order. He said it wasn't necessary."
"Forehead."
"They told me in front of Bingbing that I was not worthy of their daughter and asked me to separate from her. Bingbing tried to speak up for me, but they were very determined. They said things like, 'I am a toad wanting to eat swan meat.' They said a lot of things that hurt my self-esteem."
"What happened next?" Chen Qingrong took a sip of wine and asked, "Did Miss Yang still protect you?"
Gao Qiang said, "Yes, Bingbing also spoke up for me, but I really couldn't stand that kind of insult. I stood up and was about to leave. Bingbing tried to pull me back, but I shook her off..."
"Wait." Chen Qingrong suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes. "You mean Miss Yang has always spoken well of you, but it was your fragile self-esteem that couldn't stand the blow, so you wanted to leave. As a result, when you were leaving, Miss Yang reached out to pull you, but you pushed her away?"
"Yes."
"Are you a fucking idiot?" Chen Qingrong couldn't help but swear. "If Miss Yang didn't speak up for you and watched you being humiliated by her parents, then it wouldn't be wrong for you to treat her like this. She was clearly defending you, which means she stood with you. But you pushed her away? Just for your cheap self-esteem?"
"Then have you ever thought about what Yang Bingbing would think if you treated her like this?"
"I..." Gao Qiang choked, then stammered, "I, I didn't know what I was thinking at the time. I, I just felt it was too humiliating, and I wanted to escape from there. I didn't mean to get rid of Bingbing. I, I don't know why I did that."
"So after you got rid of Yang Bingbing, you ran out?"
"Well, I, I ran out, and I ran several miles to the west in one breath."
"You were running at night, weren't you? If I'm not mistaken, when you regained your sanity and sent a message to Yang Bingbing, she would have ignored you, right?"
"Yes……"
"Nonsense." Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes. "If I were Yang Bingbing, I wouldn't care about you either. I would block you directly. I say you are really brainless. It's so rare for a girl to stand by you and fight against her parents. Even when her parents look down on you, she still works so hard to protect you and speak well of you. "
"You should have been more resolute at the time. It would have been better if you held Yang Bingbing's hand and told her parents that you would marry her. If you did that, you would be a real man. But what about you? You, you, I really don't know how to say you are good."
Chen Qingrong felt that Gao Qiang must have lost his mind.
He didn't even seize such a good opportunity to perform. He is simply an idiot.
Isn’t there a self-deprecating saying like this on the Internet?
Unfortunately I have never been firmly chosen.
What does it mean to be firmly chosen?
Yang Bingbing's protection of Gao Qiang tonight was a firm choice.
But how did this bastard repay him?
He shook off the other person's hand and ran several kilometers in one breath like a retard who had watched too much TV drama. What? Was it to prepare for a marathon?
Chen Qingrong didn't want to talk about him anymore.
Gao Qiang felt even more ashamed when he heard what Chen Qingrong said. He asked anxiously, "Then, what should I do? Old Chen, you have experience, please teach me!"
Chen Qingrong took another sip of beer, looked at him seriously and asked, "Then do you still want to be with Yang Bingbing?"
Gao Qiang nodded vigorously, "Of course I do. I like her very much. It's rare that she likes me too. I don't want to give up."
"In that case." Chen Qingrong put down the bottle and said earnestly, "Then you should try to make amends next. Try to please Yang Bingbing and see if she is willing to forgive you. If she is willing to forgive you, you should work hard to make some achievements so that her parents will recognize you."
"What parents worry about is that their daughter won't be able to live a good life after following this man. If you succeed and have your own career, people won't look down on you anymore."
Gao Qiang asked weakly, "What if Bingbing doesn't want to forgive me?"
Chen Qingrong sneered, "Haha, then the following steps are unnecessary, because you didn't even get into your first choice, so what's the point of the second choice?"
"Oh."
Gao Qiang suddenly wilted, and the hand holding the beer bottle began to tremble unconsciously.
Seeing him like this, Chen Qingrong got angry, "Can you be more manly? Take a picture of yourself with your phone. You look like a drowned chicken. What's the difference? Which woman would like you like this? Which parent would like you like this?"
"Cheer up and work hard. You should do a good job on the case of Haoda Real Estate. If you perform well, I will find an opportunity to promote you to a management position. Even if it is not for Yang Bingbing or your love, you have to work hard. Gao Qiang, you are only one month younger than me. I am on the right track in life now. Do you still want to continue to be muddle-headed like this?"
"I..." Gao Qiang's eyes dimmed a little, but soon a starlight flashed in them again. He gritted his teeth and said, "I know. I will try my best to cheer up. I will go to Bingbing's house to apologize after get off work tomorrow night. Even if she hits me or scolds me, I will get her forgiveness."
"Yeah." Chen Qingrong nodded in appreciation and reminded, "But you have to remember, if someone really doesn't want to forgive you, you shouldn't pester them. There's a line from Little Dragon that I really like, 'Small love lingers, big love lets go.'"
"Who is the little dragon man?"
"Love Apartment."
……
After getting Gao Qiang drunk, Chen Qingrong responsibly sent him home, put him on the bed, took off his shoes, and covered him with a quilt before leaving.
He had only been to Gao Qiang's home once. Compared to his previous cozy little home, Gao Qiang's home was much messier and full of the atmosphere of a bachelor.
As soon as you enter his house, you will know that there is absolutely no woman in this house.
If there was a woman in the house, his house would not be so messy.
Because most women like cleanliness. As long as they are at home, they will basically be dissatisfied with everything and start cleaning up.
Of course, not all women are like this.
If you meet a woman who is sloppier than you, run away!
After returning to the Tang family, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening and the family members had all gone to their rooms to rest.
Chen Qingrong also came to Tang Xiaoru's boudoir. As soon as he pushed the door open, he found Tang Xiaoru sitting on a chair with her legs curled up, trimming her toenails.
"You're back, husband." Tang Xiaoru looked up at him. Chen Qingrong nodded, closed the door, and said, "You really should cut your toenails. Sometimes they poke my tongue and hurt."
Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him charmingly, "You deserve it! Who told you to stuff everything into your mouth?"
"How can you understand the joy of foot fetish?" Chen Qingrong came and sat next to her and touched her ankle.
A beautiful woman even has beautiful ankles.
Different from the thick ankles of those fat women, Tang Xiaoru's ankles are extremely slender, and can be best described as being slender enough to be held in one hand.
He suddenly had an idea, "How about I buy you an anklet to wear?"
Tang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, then glanced at him, "Why are you scolding me?"
Chen Qingrong was stunned, "I didn't scold you!"
"So you're going to buy me an anklet to wear?"
"Well, I want to buy you an anklet. I just think it looks nice and suits you. How can I call that a scolding?"
"Don't you know what anklets meant in ancient times?"
"What do you mean?"
Tang Xiaoru pouted, "In ancient times, only the indecent women in brothels would wear anklets."
Chen Qingrong uttered an "ah" and realized that he seemed to have offended her. "I really didn't know there was such a little-known fact. I didn't mean it. Then I won't buy it for you. My baby is pure and innocent, and it's not suitable for her to wear such an unlucky thing."
"Tsk." Tang Xiaoru pouted and asked, "You went to accompany Gao Qiang tonight and drank a lot of wine, didn't you?"
Chen Qingrong smiled helplessly, "Well, you know, people who are hurt in love will definitely drink to relieve their worries. I can't just sit there and watch him drink by himself. But I'm better than him. He got drunk, but I'm fine."
Tang Xiaoru was very disdainful, "Hurt by love? Him? The one who was really hurt was my best friend, okay."
Chen Qingrong was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Tang Xiaoru said, "Not long after you left, I took a shower and returned to my room, and called Bingbing. Bingbing told me that she was taking Gao Qiang to meet her parents tonight."
"She said her parents were very unhappy with Gao Qiang. After arriving at the restaurant, they didn't even order anything, but just kept on mocking Gao Qiang. She was helping Gao Qiang, and she was thinking she would try to ease the atmosphere. But Gao Qiang suddenly got angry and just stood up and left. She tried to hold Gao Qiang back, but he pushed her away."
The more Tang Xiaoru talked, the angrier she became. "Tell me, is Gao Qiang really too much? Bingbing is a girl caught between him and his parents. She was originally thinking about protecting Gao Qiang, but Gao Qiang did such a thing. Bingbing was so angry that she cried on the phone."
Chen Qingrong hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, Gao Qiang also told me about this matter. He said that he was confused at the time."
Tang Xiaoru sneered, "Haha, he's not confused, he's simply brainless! I originally thought Gao Qiang was an honest man. Although he doesn't seem to be from the same world as Bingbing, compared to the people in the entertainment industry, Gao Qiang is at least honest. Bingbing won't suffer any loss if she follows him."
"But now it seems that I overestimated Gao Qiang."
"I've already told Gao Qiang that he'll go find Miss Yang to apologize after he sobers up."
"That's not necessary." Tang Xiaoru curled her lips, "Bingbing is completely disappointed in him. If she can still see him, then I really knew her for nothing."
Chen Qingrong took a deep breath, "Hiss, that means there is no hope for Miss Yang and Gao Qiang?"
Tang Xiaoru nodded, "Well, based on my understanding of Bingbing, that's right."
"Ok."
"Are you disappointed?"
"Why should I be disappointed? I don't like Miss Yang. I just didn't expect that this relationship, which I was optimistic about at the beginning, would end up like this."
"Isn't this Gao Qiang asking for it?"
"I don't deny that Gao Qiang is indeed a bit too stupid." Chen Qingrong nodded, and then reached out to hug Tang Xiaoru's slender waist, and chuckled, "Let's not talk about other people. Have you finished your haircut? If you have, let's go to bed."
Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go take a shower first. You smell like alcohol. If you don't take a shower, you are not allowed to get on my bed."
"Okay, okay, I listen to you."
Chen Qingrong took his pajamas and went to take a shower.
When he finished his shower and changed into his pajamas, he unexpectedly ran into his mother in the corridor.
"Mom? Haven't you rested yet?" Chen Qingrong asked.
Wang Xiu'e smiled and said, "I was asleep just now, but when I heard some noise outside, I guessed that you came back. I didn't expect it was really you."
"You should go to bed early. It's already past twelve o'clock." Chen Qingrong said.
Wang Xiu'e gently held his hand and said, "Mom is fine. On the contrary, you and Xiaoru should rest early. You still have to work during the day."
"I'm going to rest now."
"Mom knows." Wang Xiu'e hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Tomorrow your dad, your grandma and I will go back. You should take care of your health here and don't stay up late. Also, take good care of Xiaoru. Xiaoru is a good girl. You can't let her down."
Chen Qingrong smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, do I look like that kind of person?"
"You are starting a business now, right? There is an old saying that men become bad when they have money."
"I'm not that kind of person." Chen Qingrong was helpless. "Don't you know what kind of character your son is? Okay, okay, go back and rest first. I'll go back to sleep too."
Wang Xiu'e laughed dumbly, "You stupid kid, you still think your mother is nagging you. Okay, go to bed now."
"Uh-huh."
Chen Qingrong returned to the room.
After closing the door, Chen Qingrong saw that Tang Xiaoru had already crawled into the bed, with only her head sticking out.
Chen Qingrong smiled and went over to lift the quilt, "Wife, I, uh, why are you not wearing any clothes?"
Tang Xiaoru blinked, "Didn't you say it would be comfortable to sleep without clothes? I want to try it too."
"So how do you feel?"
"It is indeed very comfortable."
"Really? I never lie." Chen Qingrong took off his shoes, got into bed, and then hugged her.
Tang Xiaoru gently pushed his arm away and buried her head in the quilt.
Just when Chen Qingrong was curious about what she was going to do, Tang Xiaoru suddenly stuck her head out, and saw that she was holding a elf in her little mouth.
"Come and fire some bullets?" Tang Xiaoru smiled with her eyes narrowed.
Chen Qingrong was happy and turned over and hugged her.
……
After getting up the next day, Lao Chen and his friends were going home. Baoying drove them there.
Chen Qingrong and his friends sent Lao Chen and his friends to the door. Chen Qingrong hugged his parents and grandmother and said goodbye. Tang Xiaoru also hugged them reluctantly.
What surprised Chen Qingrong the most was that Tang Chengshan hugged Old Chen and cried with red eyes. He looked so sad.
"Brother Chen, now that you're gone, there's no one to accompany me fishing. I feel so lonely." Tang Chengshan said with emotion.
Lao Chen smiled and said, "It's okay. When you have time to come to our village, I will take you to fish by our lake. The scenery is very nice."
Tang Chengshan nodded immediately, "Okay, it's a deal, we'll definitely go there at a certain time."
"it is good!"
"Take care of yourself, we'll leave first."
"Mom, Dad, Grandma, have a safe trip. Send me a WeChat message when you get home."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye-Bye."
The family left.
As the vehicle moved farther and farther away from his sight, Chen Qingrong's vision gradually became blurred.
Every separation is so painful.
Tang Xiaoru gently pulled his sleeve at this time, "Hubby, let's change our clothes and get ready to go to the company."
"it is good."
Chen Qingrong turned around to look at her, and at this time he saw the familiar spoiler text appearing above her head.
"There will be a day next month that will be the most unforgettable for you, because you will be awesome that day, but Tang Xiaoru will be very satisfied with it."
and many more.
Am I so screwed?
In a physical sense?
I rely on!
