After I was kicked out by the benefactor

Zhong Wentian held a noncommittal attitude towards what Chen Jianmin said.Chen Jianmin himself has never been in a relationship at all, and the marriage was introduced by his family. Both parties felt that each other's family background was similar, and there was nothing unbearable about each other's shortcomings, so they got married after thinking about it.

In fact, this is nothing. Most of them are like this, so there is nothing to criticize.People in the circle have their own way of life. Outsiders feel weird when standing outside the circle, while those inside the circle feel that people outside the circle are meddling in their own business.

Chen Jianmin was a relatively traditional person in their circle, and in his opinion Zhong Wentian's behavior was deviant.

What's wrong with Xu Shuming?From Chen Jianmin's point of view, his family background is clean and he is beautiful, so he is completely qualified to be a canary.

But Canary's heart is higher than the sky, coveting the seat in the main palace next to Zhong Wentian, that is a typical example of being overwhelmed and unable to see her own identity clearly.

Chen Jianmin didn't understand love either, he never expected this.In his opinion, marry a wife and have children, live a good life, wait for the son to grow up, inherit his father's business, and then continue to marry a wife and have children, his life will be considered complete, and he will not owe anyone.

But he couldn't say that Zhong Wentian's choice was completely wrong. In their current position, if they can't live as they please, then what's the point of fighting until today?

Zhong Wentian felt that he needed to find someone who could communicate with him, and Chen Jianmin also tried his best to understand him.When a person reaches middle age, he suddenly understands the taste of love. To be honest, it is also a happy thing.

Some people don't know what love is all their lives.

However, Zhong Wentian always thought that Chen Jianmin was prejudiced against Xu Shuming, and Chen Jianmin was also the backbone who always opposed Zhong Wentian's going to Xu Shuming.

He was not optimistic about the future of Zhong Wentian and Xu Shuming. This was Chen Jianmin's evaluation of their relationship.

However, just when Zhong Wentian decided to give up Xu Shuming, Chen Jianmin changed his attitude, which surprised Zhong Wentian.

This astonishment lasted until one day when Chen Jianmin suddenly sent a message to his private mobile phone WeChat account, reaching its peak.

The message was very concise. It read: "Nine o'clock, on the 24th floor of Hephaes, something good is waiting for you."

Without beginning or end, Zhong Wentian once again had the urge to block Chen Jianmin.

But Zhong Wentian really didn't have much to do during this period. After several major projects were over, he also had time for vacation.He was heartbroken not to stay in China, but traveled across the ocean to accompany his daughter and parents.

When she was a child, her well-behaved daughter said that she should cultivate her own sense of independence and do not want him to accompany her to study.As for the parents, they endured him staying at home for a week, and felt that it was embarrassing for him, an old son who was in his dozens of years, to still be doing nothing at home at such an age, so they sent him out to wander around, so as not to hinder them at home. eyes.

Continuously hurt by his daughter and parents and wanting to find comfort, Zhong Wentian can only continue to hang out with a bunch of bad friends.

However, since Chen Jianmin hadn't shown up for a while, and suddenly sent him an inexplicable message tonight, Zhong Wentian resisted the urge to blackmail him, but he felt a little curious.

Staying at home alone at night is a test of willpower.Zhong Wentian didn't dare to overestimate his rationality, and he didn't dare to underestimate the power of emotion in a quiet environment. After hesitating for a moment, he turned the car around and drove in the opposite direction to go home.

When we got to the place, we found that the entire 24th floor was occupied by someone.After getting out of the elevator, the professional receptionists were checking the invitation letter. Zhong Wentian came here temporarily, so there was no invitation letter, so naturally he couldn't get in.

He was about to call Chen Jianmin Xingshi to question him, but the receptionist seemed to know him, so he came over to invite him in.

Zhong Wentian didn't know what was going on, he stood there without moving, and politely asked the good-looking receptionist, "Excuse me, what kind of event is being held here?"

The young receptionist glanced at Zhong Wentian suspiciously, probably thinking that he didn't even know what activities were being held here, so why did you come here?

"It's Mr. Liu's 50th birthday celebration." The receptionist guessed Zhong Wentian's identity, and finally chose a well-behaved answer.

Zhong Wentian searched for Mr. Liu in his mind, and thought of several names, but his age did not match.Seeing the suppressed urging look on the receptionist's face, Zhong Wentian stopped asking and motioned for him to lead the way.

Entering the hall, Zhong Wentian found that the banquet was indeed held by a friend he knew, but the party was obviously not for relatives and friends, but business partners, so he found a hotel instead of holding it at home .

Zhong Wentian thought about asking Bai Yue to make up a congratulatory gift later, and also wanted to wait until he found Chen Jianmin, so he could give this old boy a hard lesson so that he would have a long memory.

They didn't invite him, Da Lala called him over, and didn't tell him that it was his birthday party, so it was somewhat unreasonable for him to attend the party with nothing.

Chen Jianmin arrived as soon as he said it, and he didn't feel that he was not authentic at all. Instead, as soon as he approached, he stretched out his arms to wrap around Zhong Wentian's shoulders, and said to him anxiously: "Why are you here so late! I didn't ask you Is it nine o’clock? It’s already 09:30, I almost thought you were going to let me go!”

So what if I let you dove?Zhong Wentian wanted to answer him like this.However, Chen Jianmin might have come to him in a real hurry, so he didn't give him a chance to answer, and continued: "Go, go, if you don't go, you will leave."

who left?

Zhong Wentian was dragged into the hall by him, and after looking in the direction of Chen Jianmin's finger, he realized who he was talking about.

Yan Shuling is today's guest guest and received a grand hospitality from the organizer.Standing outside the bright lights, Xu Shuming was acting as an assistant on the outside, silently paying attention to whether Yan Shuling needed help or had other needs.

Originally, the stage lights of the party were shining on Yan Shuling, and when everyone looked over, they were the first to see this bejeweled and glamorous beauty, but Zhong Wentian's gaze stayed on Yan Shuling For a moment, he subconsciously saw the drowsy place beyond the light, and sure enough, he saw Xu Shuming with a slightly blurred figure at a glance.

"The opportunity is created for you, you can figure it out." Chen Jianmin patted Zhong Wentian on the shoulder, feeling that he was really doing everything for his brother, and he thought of everything, and left with a feeling of self-movement. go.

Zhong Wentian looked at Chen Jianmin's back and didn't know what to say.Call him messing around, but Chen Jianmin is completely kind, because he even abandoned his own set of values ​​that he has followed for decades, and acquiesced in the existence of Xu Shuming. Maybe Xu Shuming will be their circle after everything is done. But you can't say that Chen Jianmin did the right thing, because while he was kind, he didn't consider Zhong Wentian's willingness at all.

When Chen Jianmin completely disappeared from the scene, Zhong Wentian stood in the hall for a while, thinking whether he should leave with Chen Jianmin.

He said that he didn't see Xu Shuming before, it was a true thought from the bottom of his heart.

Adults, no one will really die or live for love, so there is nothing wrong with being depressed in front of friends.

But this depression does not mean turning back. He is not a person who likes to look back. His love for Xu Shuming has not changed, but people always have to look forward.

Maybe, he will continue to like Xu Shuming, and even remember Xu Shuming for the rest of his life, but after a long time, he won't have to suffer like this, and slowly, he can face this feeling calmly.

He thought of this, and felt that he should not stay here for long.Hesitation is not his way of doing things, Zhong Wentian put one hand in his pocket, and was about to turn around and leave, when he caught a glimpse of a figure walking in his direction from the corner of his sight.

He was too familiar with that figure, had chased his eyes too many times, and was able to engrave its outline in his heart, and he could immediately recognize its identity with such a casual glance.

His footsteps stopped, and he subconsciously stood still.

Xu Shuming was called out by the bodyguards in charge of security. They arranged the route for Yan Shuling to leave after the party, but there was a special safe passage, and the hotel refused to cooperate. A higher-level person in charge was required to contact him.

As Xu Shuming walked out of the hall, he turned his head slightly and listened to the representative of the bodyguard explain the situation to him in detail.Most of the people in the hall were looking at the stage now, and he couldn't pick up his pace, so he could only keep turning sideways to avoid the guests in front of him.

"...the manager said that the passage would go through VIPs..."

Xu Shuming's eyelashes were half down, and he passed the crowd around him without squinting. The bodyguard's words echoed in his ears. He focused on listening to the details, his brows were unconsciously frowned, and at the same time, he was writing a draft in his heart, thinking about what would happen next. How should I negotiate with the management staff of the hotel.

After walking a long way, he suddenly stopped and looked behind him.

There was a huge crowd of people behind him, and the lights in the hall were very dim because of the emphasis on the stage effect. Xu Shuming looked over a large group of blurred figures, and stopped his sight on a person who was also looking at him at this time.

It's hard to explain this feeling. When passing by, it's obvious that the body and mind are not focused on the outside world. No matter whether the person passing by is male or female, beautiful or ugly, it has nothing to do with me, it's just a simple symbol. .

Who cares what the same symbols look like?

But some people are obviously special, as if it happened in a flash, when Zhong Wentian passed by him, the noise in the hall, the smell of champagne, and the colorful lights of the stage suddenly became three-dimensional.

"...Assistant Xu?" The bodyguard's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Xu Shuming came back to his senses, he looked away, looked forward, smiled apologetically at the bodyguard, and said, "Sorry, let's continue walking."

The bodyguard was doing security work, and he was an expert in observation. He paid attention to Zhong Wentian's gaze towards them, and asked curiously, "Are you an acquaintance?"

Acquaintance?Xu Shuming lowered his eyebrows and smiled, shook his head and said to the bodyguard, "I may have made a mistake."

The bodyguard nodded, not knowing whether to believe it or not, and looked back, only to see Zhong Wentian striding towards them, and hurriedly said to Xu Shuming:

"Assistant Xu, he is walking towards us!"
