Chapter 40 40. Something you once dreamed of

For Wen Jiajia, the beginning and end of a relationship is like the process of owning and losing a luxury. When Wen Jiajia couldn't even afford the 3,000 yuan registration fee, she didn't even dare to go to the Hermès boutique to ask the price, because it was useless to ask, and she would get nothing except for embarrassing herself.But later, she followed Lao Zhong and did not ask the price when she went to the Hermès boutique, because it was nothing to ask, and she would buy it if she asked, anyway, she was not paying the bill. Later, Wen Jiajia's economic lifeline was cut off, and all those Hermès bags were sent to Beijing's Milan Station by her. She felt a little pain in her heart, as if she was saying goodbye to a vigorous love.

But after a while, Wen Jiajia no longer felt distressed, because she found that compared to her life, those bags were not worth mentioning.They are kept in a closet, and they will not appreciate faster than gold. Even if they are limited editions, they will be sold at a low price when they are resold, because even if they increase, they will not increase the value of the holder. Speaking of consignment sales, Wen Jiajia still remembers that when she went to Hong Kong a year ago, she went to the local Milan station and found a limited-edition bag with a 20% discount in an obscure corner.But she was hungry at that time, and she planned to buy it when she came back after eating.Unexpectedly, when I came back dozens of minutes later, I saw that the bag in the corner had been placed in the window, and the price was no longer 20% off, but the original price, and it was marked with the word "brand new".

Wen Jiajia walked into the store and looked at the bag carefully again and again, making sure that it was the one dozens of minutes ago, and immediately lost the desire to buy it. Originally, she didn't mind buying a second-hand bag, after all, some things are hard to come by, but after the store changed its appearance, Wen Jiajia had to start to doubt its authenticity. Later, Wen Jiajia learned from a friend that some special counters and second-hand stores in Hong Kong often buy some super A-grade bags.Not to mention customers, even experienced salespeople dare not judge the authenticity of Transcendent A, and it can be exchanged for more profits, some dealers are bold.

Thinking of this, Wen Jiajia couldn't control her suspicion about the collection in the cabinet.She sometimes feels that she is a lucky person to have so many limited collections from other people, and sometimes she feels that she is a complete idiot. "Sleepless in Seattle" was still playing on the flight back, but this time it was difficult for Wen Jiajia to enter the scene. She was immersed in her own emotions, and she didn't even bother to change her clothes. In the end, she still wore the fat sportswear and walked off. airplane. There was a stretched Rolls-Royce under the plane, and Lao Zhong stood beside the car with a bouquet of flowers waiting for her, as handsome as ever.

If it was the past, Wen Jiajia would definitely be wearing a small dress, stepping on high-heeled Italian cowhide high-heeled shoes that can fall to the height of a person, dashing down with heavy makeup and throwing herself into the arms of Lao Zhong. But now, under the guidance of the people around her, Wen Jiajia is unkempt and unkempt. She only feels that everything in front of her is exaggerated and unbelievable, and even Lao Zhong's earnest face makes her very uncomfortable. The Rolls-Royce did not drive back home, but crossed half of Beijing City, and drove to the door of a high-end restaurant with a membership system. Lao Zhong had already reserved the most luxurious private room here.

Wen Jiajia used to be very familiar with everything here, but now, she just feels out of place and at a loss to do anything. They sat opposite each other, Wen Jiajia looked at the dishes on the table, shark fin and bird's nest, delicacies from mountains and seas, but she didn't feel hungry at all.Anchorage was lying in a high-end stroller by the table, and two nannies were standing by the side of the stroller, but Wen Jiajia was still worried, and looked over from time to time, and from time to time looked at the old Zhong who was busy complaining. Lao Zhong only focused on accusing his ex-wife, saying indiscriminately: "She actually reported me in order not to get a divorce! Damn, how can she want this kind of woman! I am not ambiguous, I did not pay bribes, I did not have an affair, and I have no money at all." Give it to her!"

Mrs. Zhong left the house without leaving the house, which Wen Jiajia did not expect.After all, Mrs. Zhong has been with him for many years and has done her best for him.Even if women all over the world abandon Lao Zhong, Mrs. Zhong will not. After Lao Zhong complained about his ex-wife, he smiled at Wen Jiajia again: "Hey, baby... This is really hard for you, but I can't let her catch it! But you are too good, she called you The phone was also recorded, but you didn't say a word on the phone that you and I were having an affair! Baby, you are so amazing!" We only heard the newcomers laughing, but not the old ones crying. Wen Jiajia ate and listened expressionlessly without making a sound.

Old Zhong was still chattering: "Honey, what do you want? A house or a new car? I'm planning to hold a big party for my son. Where do you want to be?" Wen Jiajia didn't answer, and thought to herself, does a newly born child know what a party is? Is it really to celebrate the anchor when you come to the party? Momo seems to know that she is being talked about by adults, so she also uses crying to gain attention. The nanny leaned over quickly, but was stopped by Wen Jiajia: "Hold me, he's hungry." The nanny carried the baby to Wen Jiajia, and Wen Jiajia turned sideways to avoid Lao Zhong's sight, and was about to breastfeed.

Old Zhong poked his head hard and commented: "Baby, give our son milk powder after feeding this month, or your breasts will sag! How ugly that is." When Wen Jiajia heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Lao Zhong in surprise. Old Zhong was puzzled: "What's wrong?" Wen Jiajia lowered her head to nurse again: "It's nothing." Wen Jiajia felt strange about the change of Lao Zhong.The scene of being with Lao Zhong was fleetingly skipped in her mind, but Wen Jiajia just found it inconceivable, as if that woman was not her. The next day, Wen Jiajia, accompanied by a driver and a nanny, went to the police station to go through the formalities for Mao Mao's residence in China.Both she and Lao Zhong almost forgot that Momo is an American citizen, and a residence registration is required to live in China.

Wen Jiajia brought all the documents, including Mao Mao's China travel certificate, her own account book, and the real estate certificate registered in her name, and the procedures were completed soon.But Lao Zhong was nowhere to be seen all day. In the next few days, Wen Jiajia's life was muddled.She bid farewell to all the nightlife here in Beijing, including praty, small dresses, high heels, foreign wine, desserts, colorful lights and cosmetics, as well as those friends who belong here. Wen Jiajia's changes also surprised others. She became an IKEA and a room, and kept herself safe. She never attended any banquets with Lao Zhong, and she was too lazy to deal with high society, and she bid farewell to the private clubs that she frequented in the past.

Apart from eating and sleeping, she occasionally reads books and listens to music, as if life is so simple and has never changed. Only one thing has not changed, Wen Jiajia still likes to sit alone on the windowsill of the living room and watch the night view.Such a high floor can have a panoramic view of the bustling Beijing at night, which is brighter than the stars. Occasionally, she also raised her head and looked at the dream catcher hanging on the window, watching it swaying gently in the breeze, and the corners of her mouth would involuntarily turn up. Until the nanny came over lightly and reminded her: "Miss Wen, the bath water is ready." Only then did Wen Jiajia look back and turn around.In Wen Jiajia's eyes, the luxurious interior decoration behind the nanny looks even more deserted. "Okay, thank you." Wen Jiajia got down from the window sill, walked through the long corridor, and gently pushed open the door of the baby room. The room is very big, with the anchor's small bed in the middle, which looks lonely and small. Seeing Wen Jiajia coming in, the nanny next to her quickly got up from the bed: "I just changed my diaper, I will..." Wen Jiajia shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to say anything: "Go to sleep, I'm fine." The nanny stood in fear, as if she was afraid that her actions just now would make her lose her job, but Wen Jiajia had already gently closed the door and returned to the master bedroom. The bathroom connected to the master bedroom opened a half door, and the jacuzzi inside was filled with water and was tumbling non-stop. Wen Jiajia looked up at his watch, it was almost two o'clock in the morning. She picked up the phone and dialed Lao Zhong's number, and the sound of KTV singing soon came from the receiver, and Lao Zhong said "Hello" loudly. Wen Jiajia asked, "When will you be back?" Old Zhong said: "Go to bed first, and accompany some friends, it's not ordered yet!" This is Lao Zhong's usual way of life. Wen Jiajia hung up the phone silently, her mood fluctuating like water tumbling in the bathroom. In the days that followed, Lao Zhong's nightlife was still colorful and unchanging, and he didn't restrain himself a little because he was getting older. When Wen Jiajia is alone at home, she always relives the memories of the past. Compared with the present, she always has an illusion, as if she is in retirement, and Lao Zhong is still a young man with a lot of time to squander. Wen Jiajia understands the state of mind of Mrs. Zhong over the years, and really wants to find an opportunity to get close to each other, and then ask her how she survived. Then I thought about it again, in fact, Lao Zhong has never changed, he has always been like this, he has become just the women around him. So in the relationship between Lao Zhong and the women, no one is right, and no one is wrong. The only difference is that they are just on the same road for a while. Together for a while, it is difficult for a lifetime. Wen Jiajia's peace is also temporary, and will eventually explode. On the day of the outbreak, she was sitting with Lao Zhong in the private room of the high-end restaurant last time. thing. "I want to hold a banquet in the Grand Hyatt, the largest hall can hold 60 tables. I just want to tell everyone that my old Zhong is fine again! No confession! How awesome!" Wen Jiajia ate with her head down and did not speak, she could already recite Lao Zhong's words fluently. Lao Zhong continued: "After finishing the work, you can go shopping in Hong Kong or Japan. I'm very busy recently, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you." Seeing that Wen Jiajia still didn't look up, Old Zhong thought about it: "Oh, yes, and..." Unexpectedly, Wen Jiajia suddenly raised her head and wrote lightly, "Old Zhong, let's break up." Old Zhong was stunned on the spot: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have a son and I am divorced. What are you going to do?!" Wen Jiajia was very calm, probably already made up her mind: "I really want to break up. We are not suitable." Only then did Lao Zhong become serious, recalling the past days of getting along, trying to find out the crux of the problem: "Wait, wait, what do you mean? Do you think I don't have time to accompany you?" Wen Jiajia didn't speak, but listened silently. Lao Zhong continued: "You can't expect me to work hard outside, and I have to give you chicken soup for your soul when you get home!" Old Zhong may have said this to Mrs. Old Zhong. Wen Jiajia wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word. Old Zhong thought that the problem had been solved, so he calmed down and said: "Then I will try to spend as much time as possible with you in the future, okay?" He thought that Wen Jiajia's emotions were over, but he didn't expect that Wen Jiajia shook his head at this time and said, "I don't want you to accompany me, I just want to break up." Lao Zhong frowned, looked serious, paused for a moment, and found another possibility: "Did you hook up with someone in the United States? I know, is it the one you posted the photo on Weibo?!" Wen Jiajia sighed: "It has nothing to do with him." But the more Lao Zhong thought about it, the more reliable he became, and he chased after him: "It doesn't matter, I saw him hugging my son in the photos! I just don't care about these things, you gave birth to my son under such circumstances , I recognize your love, so I divorced!" At the end, he asked again: "...What does he do? Is he richer than me?" Wen Jiajia was a little impatient, and this attitude was used by Lao Zhong in the past: "I said it has nothing to do with him!" Old Zhong insisted: "Impossible! How could a woman like you fall in love with a poor man! What the hell is he doing!" His words directly hurt Wen Jiajia, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back. "Let me tell you again, I broke up with you and he has nothing to do with it! He is just a driver, and he also works part-time in the university laboratory!" Only then did Lao Zhong calm down: "Then why? Then what do you think he is better than me?" In Lao Zhong's world, if a man has money, he has everything.Wen Jiajia thought so too. But Wen Jiajia counted things other than money in front of Lao Zhong: "He is kind, responsible, down-to-earth, loves his family, children and wife, knows how to go home for dinner every day, and knows that he can stay at home with his wife and children on weekends..." Old Zhong interrupted her: "Stop talking nonsense, what kind of reason is this, you are lying to elementary school students with these empty words!" He believes that if a man stays at home dutifully, it is precisely because he has no ability to go out to make money.A man with a successful career has little time for his family.This is an iron law. Wen Jiajia was a little angry: "Okay, then let me tell you the truth, is it okay that he is more handsome than you! Is it okay that he is fucking more handsome than you!" Old Zhong became quiet all of a sudden, and had to admit that this was the only thing he couldn't compare to that Frank other than money: "Damn, I knew it was the case. My wife was right, women like you She is skittish! I just know that I love the little boy!" My wife, not my ex-wife, nor "that woman". Wen Jiajia looked at Lao Zhong without blinking: "Okay, then I'll love you, okay?" Old Zhong laughed suddenly: "Damn it, I knew it was the case. You women know how to love a little boy! ... If you want to share, it's not a matter of every minute for me to find a woman! But I have to tell you, if you don't Come with me, the child will not be counted as our Zhong family in the future, he has no right to divide the property." Probably, when he broke up with his ex-wife, he also used this set of rhetoric, and this face, right?Wen Jiajia thought. Wen Jiajia also smiled: "Don't worry, I was really focused on your property when I was pregnant, but it's not for this when I was born!" Both of them uttered harsh words, and the atmosphere suddenly fell to the bottom, making Wen Jiajia feel a little like a world away. Wen Jiajia forgot where to read it. To see if a man is good, it depends on his attitude towards his ex-wife.After practicing for thousands of years, once they break up, they can't turn against each other and kill them all.She used to be envious and hated that Mrs. Zhong married this man many years ago, but now she is actually envious and hated that Mrs. Zhong can leave this man.It's ridiculous! A few days later, Wen Jiajia left Lao Zhong, just like what Mrs. Zhong had predicted to Lao Zhong angrily, "A woman like her who loves money will not follow you to the end!" If it was in the past, Wen Jiajia would definitely cry for herself when she heard this sentence, because she was sincere to Lao Zhong.But now, Wen Jiajia had to agree with Mrs. Zhong's words. She really didn't have the courage or the mood to accompany Lao Zhong until he grows old. Lao Zhong is dedicated to his career and dealing with all kinds of women, while Mrs. Lao Zhong is dedicated to Lao Zhong and life.At this point, Mrs. Zhong has done what others cannot, and she can be regarded as a strong woman in life. And the strong woman in her career is Linda, she can compete with Lao Zhong.If these two get together, they will definitely be able to create a powerful company that ranks among the world's top 500 companies. It's a pity that Linda met Frank, and Lao Zhong met Mrs. Zhong, so their endings are destined to be the same . Wen Jiajia once imagined, after she left Lao Zhong, what would Lao Zhong feel like when he returned home after having fun all night?Will it be the same as her and Mrs. Zhong when she waited for the door for him, feeling that the room is too big, but there is no conversation in the room, and there is an echo when walking? No matter how powerful Lao Zhong is at the wine table and negotiation table, when he returns home in a daze, no one will hand him hangover soup at any time, and no one will take off his wrinkled suit for him. When he woke up with a hangover, he found himself lying on the carpet in the living room. Just thinking of this, Wen Jiajia felt a little sorry for Old Zhong. But recently, the ending of Lao Zhong and Mrs. Zhong has been slightly rewritten. It should be said that the strong man in life finally defeated the career. His house will only appear to be extremely bleak, right? They remarried, and it was a big scene in the hotel that Lao Zhong and Wen Jiajia had originally booked. It is said that Lao Zhong was still bragging about how he had "zero confession". It was hard for Wen Jiajia to imagine Mrs. Zhong's state of mind at that time. I am afraid that in the eyes of everyone, this couple was just idle and messing around, right? But also because of this incident, Wen Jiajia felt that she had done a good deed, and it was precisely because of her that Lao Zhong realized the value of Mrs. Zhong.So Wen Jiajia is willing to admit defeat, thinking that she is not as good as Mrs. Zhong.
