Return To 1998

Auntie, why don't you just buy a few pairs? It's too hard to do by hand.

Tan Shi couldn't help laughing.

Ge Xiaozhu said, It is my mother's intention to make a few pairs of shoes for Yuzhu by myself. If I buy them, I will use the money that Xiaodao gave me, so I still want to make a few pairs myself.

Tan Shi was stunned.

I didn't expect my aunt to think so.

When the two of them were talking, Tongdao Xu, who was pouring tea in the restaurant, glanced back at them and narrowed his eyes, guessing that Tan Shi might want to say something to his mother.

When his mother told him about that before, she had said that Tan Shi was willing to be with him.

After thinking for a while, he walked to the living room with two cups of tea, handed one of them to Tan Shi, and said, Sister, come upstairs with me, I have something to tell you.

Tan Shi was a little surprised, but he nodded and got up immediately, holding a teacup and following him into the elevator.

As the elevator door closed, Tan Shi, who still didn't know Xu Tongdao's attitude towards them, became a little nervous.

There were only the two of them in the elevator at this time.

This made her inevitably have some reverie - is he going to tell me about that? Will he be with me? What does he want to say to me?

For a time, Tan Shi's mind was full of thoughts, the more she thought about her, the faster her heart beat, her face slowly turned a little red, and she no longer dared to look at Xu Tongdao.

The elevator quickly came to the 3rd floor. As the elevator door opened, Xu Tongdao walked out first, and Tan Shi followed the elevator with a cup of tea.

To her surprise, after Tongdao Xu got out of the elevator, he didn't go to the bedroom or study, but stopped by the window in the corridor, looked at her, took a sip from the teacup.

Tan Shi smiled and took a sip of tea. He pretended to be relaxed and asked, Xiao Dao, what do you want to say to me?

Tongdao Xu was a little awkward to speak for a while.

After all, Tan Shi is his cousin. Although we didn't grow up together, we can see each other every year during the Chinese New Year. The relationship is not far away. Therefore, it is not easy for him to say some things too directly to hurt her face.

but……

He wanted to explain his attitude to her as soon as possible, so as not to drag on for a long time and hurt her even more.

It's good for both of them to dispel her thoughts as soon as possible.

Huh? Why don't you speak?

Tan Shi frowned when she saw Tongdao Xu being silent.

I already had a bad feeling in my heart.

And her inquiry made Xu Tongdao no longer hesitate, and immediately said to her: Sister, I recently divorced. My mother always wants me to find another one as soon as possible. I hope you can understand her feelings.

Tan Shi frowned even more.

Her bad premonition intensified.

But she still nodded and said with a smile: Well, I can understand, don't talk about you, my mother often calls me to urge me to get married.

Tongdao Xu smiled lightly, sighed, and looked out the window, However, sister, I don't plan to get married again in my life, I don't know what my mother said to you, if her words cause you trouble , here I apologize to you for her, I hope you can forgive her.

Tan Shi: ...

She frowned and squinted at Tongdao Xu. The smile on Tan Shi's face slowly faded away, and her face turned slightly pale. Although she already had a bad premonition in her heart just now, when she heard Tongdao Xu say this, she was still very worried. feel bad.

She Tan Shi... was actually rejected? Valley

Since she was a child, because she was beautiful and had good academic performance, and later got a job, the job was decent, and the income was high, so she has always rejected others, so that she was in her early thirties, which is what it feels like to be rejected , it was the first taste.

She suddenly thought of a lyric - love is like that bitter coffee.

She was not sure whether there was love between herself and Xu Tongdao, but she clearly felt that her heart was bitter at the moment.

It turns out that being rejected is what it feels like...

Looking at Xu Tongdao's profile, she laughed at herself.

At this moment, she had two thoughts in her mind.

One is: Yes! He is now the richest man in the province.

What kind of woman can't be found, how can she like me?

Another is: grass! Although the old lady is a few years older than you, the old lady is not married yet! You are divorced and still carry two fuel bottles, and you don't even look down on me? I am your cousin! You treat your cousin like this, do you lose your conscience? My sister was not bad to you when I was young! Which year did you not give you delicious food for the New Year?

After two different thoughts flashed through her mind, they finally turned into an understanding sentence, It's okay! I can understand, as for the original unforgiveness, let alone not to mention it, but Xiaodao, it doesn't matter if we don't get along, As your cousin, I still want to persuade you, you are still young and your future life is still so long, don't make yourself a prison, open your heart, and you can embrace a new life. My sister hopes that you can get out of your past marriage as soon as possible. Come out of the shadows and find another one you like.

Tongdao Xu still looked out the window, heard the words, smiled, shook his head slightly, and sighed: Sister, don't persuade me, anyway, I already have children, it doesn't matter if I don't get married again, but you are still there. If you are not married, everyone is anxious for you, and you also serve snacks, so don’t let your aunt and uncle always be disappointed.”

Tan Shi laughed and nodded, I know, I will do my best, and you will too!

Tongdao Xu was amused by her saying Come on too, which made him smile slightly.

...

Ge Xiaozhu downstairs thought that his son Xu Tongdao called Tan Shi upstairs to talk about work.

After watching the two of them go upstairs, Ge Xiaozhu didn't have the heart to continue to put the soles of his shoes. He sat on the sofa, stopped sewing in his hands, and sighed.

After frowning for a while, Tan Shi thought about going downstairs. If he asked her what she meant by gossip, and whether she agreed to look around with her, how would he answer?

After thinking for a while, Ge Xiaozhu didn't even think about how to answer.

So, naturally, it gets more and more troubled.

but……

What surprised her was that after Tan Shi went downstairs, he said a few words to her, and he didn't mention anything with Xu Tongdao until he left.

Didn't she come to ask me about this today?

Seeing the back of Tan Shi leaving, Ge Xiaozhu was very puzzled.

She was even thinking: Does this girl, Xiaoshi, also want to be with Xiaodao? The reason why you didn't refuse last time was because it wasn't good for me as an auntie?

Thinking of this possibility, Ge Xiaozhu couldn't help but sigh.

She felt that she might be a blind match this time, and neither of them wanted to be together. If she mixed up like this, it might make her son and Xiaoshi embarrassed to meet in the future.

...

Time flies.

It's the end of the year again.

Xu Tongdao was busy again. As the president of the group and chairman of Ximen Real Estate, he still had to attend some year-end summary meetings.

However, in general, it is much easier than in previous years.

Most of the meetings at the end of this year were attended by the CEO, Xu Tonglu.
