Return To 1998

In the end, Ge Xiaozhu said that she also wanted to go back to her hometown to have a look. She went back with her, and brought her grandson Xu Le by the way, so that the matter could be resolved satisfactorily.

8-year-old Xu Anan was satisfied with his younger brother.

As for Xu Jian?

Shen Tuqing wants to take him back to his mother's house for New Year's greetings.

After breakfast, they packed up and left.

Soon in the huge villa, only Xu Tongdao and a few nanny and bodyguards were left. Among them, Wang Xiaomin and Ran Jing, two female bodyguards, also followed Ge Xiaozhu, Ge Yuzhu and others back to their hometown in Shazhou.

Xu Tongdao, who stayed at home, was also unable to obtain peace. Since the first day of the new year, people have been coming to pay New Year's greetings, including children of industry peers, and some manager-level subordinates in the company.

Only at night could he be free.

He is not lonely at night when he is alone. After washing up, he can spend a long night sitting in the study with a book.

Until the night of the sixth day of the lunar new year, when he was reading in the study, Ruan Qingjing suddenly called.

Today is the sixth day of the first lunar month. Do you have time? If you have time, come out and have a drink with me!

The voice coming from the phone was a little abnormal, and it sounded a little depressing.

On the evening of New Year's Eve a few days ago, she asked Tongdao Xu to go out for a drink. At that time, Tongdao Xu politely refused, saying that she would talk about it in a few days. She sent a text message that time, but it was a phone call tonight.

Tongdao Xu pondered for two or three seconds, asked for the address, then got up and changed into a coat, put on a windbreaker, and went downstairs to call the driver Tan Shuangxi and two bodyguards - Zheng Meng and Sun Ai Zi.

The place where Ruan Qing Barley drank tonight was in a nightclub called Lan Ting.

Xu Tongdao had never actually entered such a place.

First time tonight.

I never entered such a place before my rebirth, because I was poor and was reluctant to spend money on such an entertainment place.

After rebirth, he never entered such a place because he did not want to waste time and energy in such a place.

If Ruan Qingjing hadn't asked him out tonight, he wouldn't have come to such a place.

Based on the principle of low-key, he was riding a black Mercedes-Benz tonight. When he got there, he got out of the car. He looked up at this Lanting nightclub, which was quite large from the outside.

A building facing the street, about five or six stories high.

The decoration style of the outer wall is quite avant-garde. The outer wall of the whole building is like a piece of radiator, and the gaps like radiator are filled with colorful and brilliant light, making the whole building under the dark night sky. Appears dazzling.

Accompanied by Zheng Meng and Sun Aizi, Tongdao Xu walked into the gate.

Ruan Qingjing was drinking alone in the box on the second floor.

The layout of this building looks like a cuboid from the outside, but when you enter it, you find that there is a cave inside.

In fact, the patio has a glass dome on top.

And under this patio, there are rows of tables and chairs, and at the front is a performance stage with flickering lights. When Xu Tongdao walked into the hall, he saw someone singing on the stage, and seven or eight beautiful women in cool clothes. Dancing.

furious...

Tongdao Xu glanced at it and went upstairs to find Ruan Qingjing.

When she found Ruan Qingjing, her face was already flushed. Her complexion was originally white, but at this time, because of the redness on her face, she felt like a peach blossom. Valley

Red in white.

Seeing her drinking here alone, Tongdao Xu waved to Zheng Meng and Sun Aizi who were behind him, and the two would stop outside the door intentionally, guarding the door from left to right.

Tongdao Xu closed the box door and glanced at the glass wall adjacent to the Patio. Through that glass wall, the performance on the stage downstairs could be seen.

You can also see the glass walls facing the bread compartment, but you can't see the scene in the box inside the glass wall. Visually, these glass walls should be one-way visible glass.

Simply put, the people in the box can see the scene outside the glass wall, but the people outside cannot see the appearance in the box inside the glass wall.

You're here? It's really not easy to invite you out for a drink at night! Come! Sit! Have two drinks with me.

Ruan Qingjing at the table turned his face, showed a slightly drunken smile, beckoned to Xu Tongdao lazily, and called him over.

Tongdao Xu smiled, took off his windbreaker, walked over, put the windbreaker on the back of the chair, and sat down opposite her.

Ruan Qingjing was already pouring wine for him. It was a foreign wine that was labelled ghost writing. The unfamiliar words, Xu Tongdao couldn't tell which country it was from.

Naturally, I don't even know what kind of wine it is.

What's wrong with you? Are you in such a bad mood these days?

Tongdao Xu looked at Ruan Qingjing with a gloomy expression on the opposite side, a little curious.

Ruan Qingjing laughed at herself, she had already poured wine for him, put down the wine bottle, and lazily raised the wine glass in front of her as a gesture.

Tongdao Xu smiled and raised a glass, and clinked a glass with her.

As soon as he brought the wine glass to his mouth, he saw Ruan Qingjing tilted his neck and poured all the wine in the glass into his mouth, then he put the empty wine glass on the table weakly with his right hand.

She seemed troubled.

Tongdao Xu paused slightly, took a sip of his drink, and was about to put down the wine glass, but at this moment Ruan Qingjing suddenly raised his eyes to look at his wine glass, frowned, and pouted, Are you fooling me? Are you here to drink with me? Can you be a little sincere?

Still quite temperamental.

Ruan Qingjing, who has been drinking, seems to be quite different in personality in peacetime.

Tongdao Xu laughed dumbly, and without talking nonsense, he picked up the wine glass again, tilted his neck, and drank the wine in the glass.

Then he showed her the bottom of the cup.

Is that all right? he asked.

Ruan Qingjing turned his anger into a smile, grabbed the bottle and poured him a new drink, It's almost the same! You should rarely drink bars? Tongdao Xu! I see your usual serious appearance, I feel tired for you, why bother What? You are so serious during the day, can't you have a few drinks to relax at night? You have been so successful in your career, and you still don't enjoy life. When do you want to enjoy it? Huh?

While speaking, she poured wine for Tongdao Xu and herself.

Tongdao Xu smiled and didn't answer her words.

Instead, she brought the topic to her, Last time I heard you say that your family asked you to have a blind date and it upset you, why? Today is the same?

When it came to this topic, Ruan Qingjing's expression became very helpless and depressed. He picked up his wine glass and nodded with a wry smile, Yes! This year, my parents urged me very hard, much more than in previous years. They all said that I should start from the past. I have come out of that relationship, and I should start a new life, hehe, but...it's easy to say, is it really that easy?

Saying that, she raised her glass again.

Tongdao Xu raised a glass to her again, and saw that she drank all the wine in her glass cleanly again.

Helpless, he shook his head and took another cup.
