Faced with Luo Min's questioning, why didn't he go find Julie?
Chen Baosheng thought for a while, scratched his head and said: "Actually, Amin, what should I say? The reason why I didn't go to her was because when we were friends, I kept it from her and didn't tell her She was married once and had a child. Not long ago, I told her, and the two of us had a quarrel. She scolded me and left angrily."
"I know. In fact, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have hidden it from her from the beginning!" Chen Baosheng paused and then said: "After she quarreled with me that day, she ignored me for a long time. But Not long ago, she came to me again and asked me to help her younger brother. In fact, with my current ability, I can't help her. Her younger brother owed foreign debts, and her parents encouraged her to ask for 300,000 yuan. I really couldn't afford the bride price, so I only lent her 50,000 yuan! Now... I'm really too lazy to see her."
Luo Min glared at Chen Baosheng and said, "Do you think her family really wants so many colorful gifts?"
Chen Baosheng nodded and said: "If I am worth hundreds or tens of millions now, this money is not much. But you also know that I used to work as a driver for Brother Jie, and I only took up a management position this year. My income has just improved a little. When my ex-wife divorced, the child was just over a year old. He didn’t have a mother at that time, so my parents put down their work and raised him. In addition, in order to support my business in the early years, everything in the family was sold. , and still owed a lot of foreign debt. Now, the foreign debt has been paid off, and the child is about to go to kindergarten. But everyone in the same village has built new houses, but my family still lives in this adobe house from the 1960s and 1970s. So I and Luo Min I want to talk about the bride price later. I want to improve the housing conditions at home so that my parents can live more comfortably. And to be honest, my final idea is to bring my children and parents to live in Shenzhen. But all this Before I said anything, Julie was unhappy. I could tell by her expression, so I wanted to give her some time to think about it, can she accept me? This is how I am now, and I can't change it for a while. , if she can’t accept it, she can find a better one so that I don’t delay her.”
Luo Min saw that this man was speaking eloquently and emotionally, with tears in his eyes, and murmured: "If that's the case, it's right for you to give her some time! But... if you really want to be with her, When she gets married, she can borrow some money from the company as a bride price."
Chen Baosheng smiled calmly and said: "That won't work. This is not a long-term solution, and to be honest, instead of seeking a marriage like that, I would rather be single now. After so many years, I am used to it, and it doesn't matter. Haha. "
Chen Baosheng spoke like this with a bitter smile on his face, and Luo Min had no choice.
At this moment, several friends Luo Min had made an appointment with arrived one after another. Among them are the planning director of her Dongguan company, her best friend Sister Gui who owns a gym, a proprietress who owns a clothing factory, and a senior executive of a company. They are all Western women, all of whom are beautiful and well-groomed, with decent make-up. , at first glance she is a capable, intellectual and successful woman.
After they finished saying hello, Chen Baosheng saw that nothing happened, so he stood up and said, "Amin, it's nothing, I'll leave."
Unexpectedly, Luo Min waved and said: "Hey, Chen Baosheng, don't leave. Go and help Aunt Chen cook some food later. I brought back some local specialties such as bacon from my hometown in Sichuan. Go and help me." , we will have dinner together here later. Oh, I remember that you are good at cooking. If you can cook any kind of food well, tonight, show your skills to Sister Gui."
His boss said this and invited him to stay for dinner. Chen Baosheng had no reason to refuse. He agreed, followed Aunt Chen to the kitchen, chopped up the bacon ribs, started with her, and cooked about ten dishes. Serve.
This evening, the dining atmosphere was better, and Luo Min cleared away the gloom and showed a smile. Moreover, she also drank wine, drinking two glasses of red wine with her sisters. After drinking, perhaps because of the atmosphere, she sang a song called "The Love Song of the Red Dust", which she sang very passionately, causing the sisters to burst into laughter.
After eating and drinking, they sat and drank tea. Chen Baosheng was about to leave, but seeing the mess, he helped Aunt Chen clean up the dishes.
These women were drunk, they sat together and laughed and chatted freely. While Chen Baosheng was cleaning up, Sister Li, who runs the gym, smiled and asked, "I heard that Chen Baosheng is still single?"
Luo Min replied: "Yes! However, I also had a marriage and a child in my hometown! I failed to start a business before, so I came to Shenzhen from my hometown with a lot of debt to work as a driver for Zhao Jie! He is more sincere and simple, and maybe Because I am in debt, I have to work harder. These years, especially after Zhao Jie left this year, thanks to him, otherwise, I really don’t know what I would do."
When several little sisters saw that Luo Min had a good feeling for Chen Baosheng, they all looked at each other and smiled. Among them, Sister Gui, who was in her 40s and well aware of the difficulties of being a single woman, touched Luo Min and said: " Minmin, since you think she’s pretty good and she’s just one person, how about the two of you?”
After Sister Gui finished speaking, she winked at her sisters. In fact, the three women here naturally understood! Then he said, "That's right!"
"It's not easy for you! Besides, you need someone to help you now."
"If we become a family, he won't have any extraneous thoughts."
Chen Baosheng listened attentively, thinking that Luo Min would scold them or something, but Luo Min didn't. He only heard her say lightly: "I know you have good intentions, but now, I really don't think about these issues. Zhao Jiecai My dad just left, how could I be in the mood to have another relationship? To be honest, every day, as long as I close my eyes, I will see the shadow of Zhao Jie in front of me. So... everyone, please stop making such jokes. .”
When everyone heard what she said, they naturally had nothing to say.
Chen Baosheng helped Aunt Chen clean up for a while, then said goodbye and left. On the way home while driving, he also wondered, what did Luo Min think of him? If Luo Min expressed his willingness to get married to him one day, what would his attitude be? Should you reject her or accept her? This made him feel a little flustered!
