detour

Zhuang Shaodong didn't mention the matter of going to Germany to attend the meeting, and Xu You didn't ask again.It's as if this never happened.Xu You didn't know how other lovers would react after the dispute, so he couldn't judge whether the nonchalant relationship between him and Zhuang Shaodong was normal.

This made him a little depressed.

The next few days were calm, which made Xu You a little surprised.He originally thought that Zhuang Shaodong wanted to hide himself only because he was worried about his mother's actions, but he didn't expect that after a few days, it was always calm.Xu You thought about it, and wondered if Zhuang Shaodong did something secretly?

However, suspicion is nothing more than suspicion, after all, because of this matter, he had a bad fight with Zhuang Shaodong, Xu You refused to ask him anyway.If he didn't ask, Zhuang Shaodong naturally wouldn't take the initiative to talk about these things to annoy him.Besides, in order to avoid suspicion, Xu You has been staying at her own home for the past few days, and has no chance to sit down and chat.

A week passed so painlessly.

On Friday afternoon, Xu Youbai was lying on the desk bored, hesitating whether to go home directly or make a phone call to ask Zhuang Shaodong out for dinner.There was a burst of laughter in the corridor outside, and then someone knocked on the door outside the office, and Chen Shu's voice asked with a smile: "Xu Gong?"

Xu You half-deadly agreed, "Yes."

Chen Shu pushed open the office door, and asked him happily, "Move things to your office? Or put them in your car?"

Xu You was surprised, "What?"

"Tomorrow will be a holiday." Chen Shu pushed the door open a little, signaling him to pay attention to the bustle and bustle outside. "At the moment, the New Year's goods are being distributed outside."

When I was in Sanjian, I often gave out some things during the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect Meng Feng's company to pay attention to these benefits.Xu You suddenly became interested, "What's the matter?"

"Fruits, seafood, dry goods," Chen Shu told him while counting on his fingers, "Go to the finance department to get the shopping cards and red envelopes by myself."

Xu You followed into the hall and took a look. Most of the living room was piled with things, and there were many kinds of things.Xu You saw longan and oranges in the fruit box at a glance, and hurriedly pushed Chen Shu over, "In my share, you keep the longan and orange for me, and you take the rest."

Chen Shu was surprised, "Don't you not like longan?"

Xu You was unhappy, "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Chen Shu was in a good mood, and he didn't get angry when he yelled at him, so he called a few colleagues to help Xu You move the fruit to the car downstairs.Xu You gave himself all the dried seafood, he was a little embarrassed, after thinking about it, he simply moved his share of fruits into Xu You's car.While moving, I still muttered a little: Ten times, this is for giving away, right?I don't know who loves longan so much, relative?friend?I don't know if it's a girlfriend or a boyfriend...

Xu You in the office had a legitimate reason, and started calling happily, "Are you there? Then I'll go over now. I have your favorite longan."

Outside the office door, Chen Shu, who had been eavesdropping, nodded secretly. This person really fell in love. This time, he didn't guess wrong about the complicated thoughts of his old boss, so he walked away happily.

Half a city away, in the office of an auto parts factory, Zhuang Shaodong huddled behind his desk and was also in a happy mood, "Well, okay, if you can't eat it, you can ask the kitchen to make some canned longan for us... It's okay to send it over, but I In the factory, I may not be able to go back tonight... Tomorrow noon I have an appointment for dinner, you go with me. Who are you asking? You will know when you go."

Xu You had already started her annual vacation, so she naturally slept until the sun was rising the next day before getting up.Looking at the watch, it was almost lunch time, so Xu You didn't bother to make any more breakfast, warmed up a glass of milk, put a few biscuits on it, and started busy cleaning herself.

Zhuang Shaodong was vague on the phone the day before, so Xu You didn't ask too much, thinking that Zhuang Shaodong just invited friends for dinner.After all, it was the first time seeing Zhuang Shaodong's friend, so he naturally wanted to make a good first impression, so Xu You paid special attention to the matching of his clothes before going out.

According to the agreed time, I arrived at the private restaurant that Zhuang Shaodong mentioned. Zhuang Shaodong had already arrived, and he was sitting in a private room drinking tea and chatting with a middle-aged man with gentle features.Seeing Xu You coming in, Zhuang Shaodong greeted him with a smile, "Xu You, come, meet Boss Cui, he can make you whatever you want!"

It seems that this is the owner of the restaurant, Xu You shook hands with him, and sat down beside Zhuang Shaodong, "I love beef the most, and I like to eat it in any way. Boss Cui can do whatever he wants."

Boss Cui said with a smile: "Mr. Xu was lucky enough to have good beef today. Wait for the next two to try my skills."

"Xu You still has more face," Zhuang Shaodong said with a slightly sour expression, "I've come here ten times and I haven't seen you cook once."

Boss Cui ignored his teasing, and asked Xu You with a slight smile, "Does Mr. Xu have any taboos?"

"No. Boss Cui can do whatever he wants." Although Xu You has never been here, he has also heard that private restaurants are full of chefs who cook what the customers eat, and no customers order food.

Boss Cui seemed to know Zhuang Shaodong very well, the two of them joked a few words before Boss Cui got up and went to the kitchen.As soon as he left, Zhuang Shaodong's face gradually darkened, "Xu You, in fact, I can come to today's meal by myself, but if I come alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my temper."

Xu You tasted something unusual from his words, "Who are you eating with?"

Zhuang Shaodong leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes slightly tired, "Follow Zhuang Shiwen."

Xu You was taken aback.No wonder he felt weird as soon as he entered the box. Now that I think about it, who would have dinner with friends and wear serious formal attire, as if they were going to the negotiating table?

Xu You was slightly uneasy, "Why did you have dinner with him? What does he want from you?"

Zhuang Shaodong frowned slightly, and a disgusted expression flashed across his face, "I was the one looking for him."

"Eh?" Xu You was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to ask, the door of the private room was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man and woman in well-dressed clothes appeared at the door.

Zhuang Shaodong didn't move, but looked at the people outside the private room with deep eyes.He didn't move, and Xu You also felt a little helpless.According to his age and status, he should be regarded as a person of the younger generation, but in this situation...he sat beside him awkwardly, looking at this and then that, and finally had to pretend that he didn't exist.

In fact, the father and son look closely, but there are some similarities.The eyebrows are very thick and straight, Zhuang Shaodong's facial features are deeper and sharper, while Zhuang Shiwen looks like a good man, with a gentle and reserved expression, just like a good-tempered middle school teacher.The middle-aged woman standing beside him had normal facial features, but there was a slight smile on her lips, and she looked very gentle and amiable.

Xu You didn't expect that Zhuang Shaodong's father would be such a person, who had nothing to do with the rumors of abandoning his wife and son.But I heard that he seems to have been living with that woman since he left the dealer, and raised two sons together, so he doesn't seem to be a person who spends his days and nights.It's just that compared to the way he treats his two young sons, Zhuang Shaodong is a bit too pitiful.

"Sit down." Zhuang Shaodong gestured to please sit down expressionlessly, "You two are invited to come here, I have something to talk to you about."

Zhuang Shiwen smiled kindly, his eyes rested on Xu You's face, and he nodded with a smile.

Although Xu You didn't have a good impression of these two people, after all, these two people had never done anything to be sorry for him, and their age was there, so he stood up politely, and sat down again after they were seated .

Zhuang Shaodong gave him a sideways look, as if blaming him for being troublesome.

Xu You began to regret that he shouldn't have come today at all.

Zhuang Shiwen didn't seem to care about his son's rudeness to him. After sitting down, he asked very naturally: "It's been a long time since I saw you. You look thinner. Is it because you work too hard?"

Zhuang Shaodong seemed not to have heard his words, his eyes drooped slightly, and he said in a calm tone: "I want to ask, how many years have you been away from the dealer?"

"Why do you ask this?" Zhuang Shiwen showed a slightly embarrassed expression, "It's been 24 or [-] years."

Zhuang Shaodong looked at him indifferently, "May I ask one more question, why you never divorced Ms. Li?"

The faces of Zhuang Shiwen and the lady who came with him changed.

Xu You moved a little uneasy on the chair.He knew that Zhuang Shaodong didn't want to come to meet these two people alone, but if he had known in advance, he would never sit here and listen to the dealer's secret affairs awkwardly.He felt that there was something malicious in Zhuang Shaodong's eyes, which also made him feel uneasy.He suddenly realized what Zhuang Shaodong meant by "some tricks I don't want you to see".

Hmm, I kind of regret it.Xu You thought to himself, he should have settled the dealer's affairs. Which one of his father and mother is a role that he can handle?Really, what the hell are you messing with...

"I invited you here today, just to talk about this matter." Zhuang Shaodong straightened his back, his gloomy black eyes were full of concentration, and there was already a sense of coercion in the invisible, "I hope you can file for a divorce. You have been separated for so many years. This is an irrefutable fact. Even if she disagrees, the court will sentence you to divorce. Don't tell me that you have no connections after leaving the dealer .”

Zhuang Shiwen's expression could no longer be described as shock.Before coming here, he naturally guessed Zhuang Shaodong's intention of asking him to meet, but he never guessed that he would come to ask him for a divorce.

"That's it, you can do it as soon as possible." Zhuang Shaodong was getting impatient.In the final analysis, this is all about their parents' generation, so why should he, an unlucky junior, worry about it?

"Why?" Zhuang Shiwen seemed completely confused.

"Grandpa is not in the country anymore, who cares if you get divorced or not?" Zhuang Shaodong frowned, his expression became more and more gloomy, "Besides, my mother has worked for your farmer for half her life, and the work that should have been done by you is all gone. Pressure on her. For more than 20 years, you have a wife and children outside, and live your life happily. She bears the name of Mrs. Zhuang, so she deserves to spend her whole life to fulfill family obligations for you?! Zhuang Shiwen, Please touch your conscience!"

Zhuang Shiwen's face turned gray and defeated, but the middle-aged lady beside him lowered her head, showing a sad expression.

Zhuang Shaodong saw the expression on the woman's face in a blink of an eye, and his eyes became more and more angry, "I beg you too, please don't make a hurt expression. What right do you have to pretend that you are the victim? You snatched away what should belong to me. My family, when you lived with him and had children, did you think that I, a child who was supposed to have both parents, lived like a wild bastard? The victim was me and my mother, but not you! "

Zhuang Shaodong thought of Zhuang Li Yunxin who was lying on the hospital bed and making up nonsense to deceive his son to visit him, and the rage in his heart suddenly lost control.He waved away the teacup in front of him, and the blue-and-white porcelain teacup drew an arc in mid-air, and smashed against the wooden screen with a bang, causing the broken porcelain to scatter in all directions.

The private room suddenly fell silent.

The woman covered her mouth and sobbed softly.

Xu You intuitively felt that the crying would further irritate Zhuang Shaodong, so he quickly stood up and hugged him.

Zhuang Shaodong wanted to stand up, but after several struggles, Xu You pressed him back into the chair tightly.He buried his face in Xu You's chest, and his stiff body slowly relaxed.

Xu You's palm gently rubbed the back of his neck.A woman's suppressed cry came from behind, which was annoying.Xu You patted Zhuang Shaodong on the shoulder, and persuaded him in a low voice, "What are you talking about here? Did you digress? I warn you, I'm hungry, so make a long story short, don't dawdle. No more lunch."

For some reason, Zhuang Shaodong leaned in this man's arms, listening to his rambling complaints, and the anger that was condensed in his heart, so anxious that it was almost bursting, was discouraged bit by bit.

Is it right to bring him here?

Xu You let him go, and warned for the last time, "Don't digress for me!"

Zhuang Shaodong shook his head and smiled wryly, and when he looked up, he saw Zhuang Shiwen looking at the two of them with a strange expression.Beside him, the middle-aged lady had stopped crying, her eyes were still red, and she looked almost pitiful.

Zhuang Shaodong looked away in disgust, "Come back to business. Your family has disgusted us for more than 20 years. Bullying is not like this. Zhuang Shiwen, you will prepare for divorce when you go back. Be sure to hurry up."

Zhuang Shiwen clenched his hands on the table, "The divorce..."

Zhuang Shaodong interrupted him, "You'd better not tell me that you still need to think about it. If that's the case, you'd better keep your bastard sons with you at all times."

Zhuang Shiwen's expression changed drastically, "What do you mean?!"

"It means literally." Zhuang Shaodong smiled, with a deep and cruel look in his eyes, "Mr. Zhuang, a smart person like you, I don't think you don't understand."
