After returning to his office, Ling Jie looked at the documents on his desk and started to ponder. He thought back to what Tong Yifei's mother had said that day. Perhaps the speaker was not paying attention, but the listener was paying attention. Even though Tong Yifei had told him," Hey, Lingjie, don't think too much about it. My mother is just like that. Don't take it to heart." Ling Jie still couldn't ignore it.
Even if Mother Tong said this now, it did not mean that she would change her opinion of him in the future. Perhaps she would become more and more strict. Perhaps he would say something even worse.
He wanted to make money to buy a house as soon as possible. He only had 50,000 yuan on hand, which was far from the down payment. He sighed and could only sigh at the changes in the world. In the past, there was no such thing as a car, a house, and money.
He made some coffee for Song Jia, who had just hung up the phone. Ling Jie passed the coffee to Song Jia. Song Jia said," I have a dinner party tonight. Come with me."”Then, she looked at Ling Jie." The clothes you're wearing are not good enough. I'll talk to the finance department later. Go get the money and buy some good clothes."”
After Song Jia finished speaking, she saw that Ling Jie was still in a daze and smiled in confusion. "What's wrong?" She suddenly realized something." This time, the company is paying for it. It's not easy for married people to support their families, especially those born in the 1980s like you. You might not be able to afford it even if you work hard to earn money.”
"That's not what I'm worried about." Ling Jie was embarrassed.
"Do you think I don't know what you guys do every day?”Song Jia laughed. "In order to save money, you've started to get off work and not go out with Bai Ye and the others. Everyone says that you're henpecked.”
"Not really." Ling Jie said.
"Alright, go to work. Let me take a look at the report after it's done. I want to implement the matter as soon as possible. I'm in a hurry now.”Song Jia returned to her usual serious attitude.
Ling Jie went to many places to ask which products were more trustworthy and affordable. He made a detailed comparison and rushed to finish the report before he got off work. Bai Ye rolled his eyes at him and said," "Sooner or later, you'll turn yourself into a lunatic.”
When Song Jia came out from work, she called Ling Jie to go with her. She went to get the car, and Ling Jie talked to her about things and what was lacking. The plan was finally finalized.
Song Jia looked at the car in front of her and found a gap to talk. She asked Ling Jie," How's your alcohol tolerance?”
"So-so." Ling Jie answered honestly.
"It's fine as long as you can drink it. If they toast you later, help me block them. If you drink it, I can make sure to send you home.”Song Jia joked. "Moreover, the client this time is our old client. We can't offend him. You have to remember."
"Wasn't Zhou Yanan the one who came in the past? Why are you looking for me?" Ling Jie asked.
"Lingjie." Song Jia's voice changed when she heard that. "Do you know about me and Zhou Yanan? If I told you, you would definitely think that I'm so old and Zhou Yanan is so much younger than me. You would definitely think that we're ridiculous.”
"No, love is innocent. Loving someone is also innocent.”Ling Jie answered.
"I should say that you're a very talkative person.”Song Jia laughed. "But that's how I feel. I like Zhou Yanan because the first time I met him, I felt that I had the same feeling as when I met my ex-husband, so even if Zhou Yanan wanted to climb up through me, I didn't mind. Therefore, I will take care of Zhou Yanan regardless of your opinions. I don't care as long as Zhou Yanan is by my side.”
"And you let go so easily because you like her.”Ling Jie asked.
"No, because he was tired of being by my side and fell in love with another girl. This is only normal for a young man. If I forced him to stay by my side, it would be forcing him and taking away his right to be happy. That's why I'd rather he leave and take what I gave him, so that he'll give up.”Song Jia smiled seductively at Ling Jie, but she just flipped her hair.
Ling Jie thought of Tong Yifei. If he fell in love with another girl one day, would he tell Tong Yifei so frankly? Sometimes, telling the truth was indeed a hurtful thing, but not telling it would hurt both of them.
After the car stopped, Ling Jie followed Song Jia. The private room was already filled with people. This was the first time Ling Jie had seen such a scene, and he was still a little timid. When he saw people, he could only smile. During this time, someone toasted Song Jia. Song Jia had been in this kind of event for a long time, so she was naturally tactful. He waved his hand and said. "No, I'm driving. Why don't you let my company's people drink with you? Young people have a good tolerance for alcohol."
Ling Jie listened with a fake smile, but he couldn't refuse. He could only bite the bullet and drink. After a round, he ran to the bathroom and vomited. When he came out, he saw Song Jia handing him toilet paper. He took it and asked Song Jia. "Did that group of people come out of wine jars?”
"It's not from the wine bottle, but they're all drunkards.”Song Jia leaned against Ling Jie.
Ling Jie shook his head and laughed. "I really can't take it anymore. I'm vomiting to death. If I drink any more, I'll probably be drunk until I'm unconscious.”Ling Jie's face turned red as soon as he drank the wine. His entire body was burning hot.
Actually, Song Jia had been in this industry for so long, so her alcohol tolerance couldn't be that bad. Ling Jie also knew that Song Jia's alcohol tolerance wasn't low, but he wouldn't ask her why she brought him here. Perhaps she had her reasons for doing so.
"Alright, let's find an opportunity to leave.”Song Jia looked at his depressed expression.
On the way, Ling Jie was completely unconscious. He fell into Song Jia's car and tried to suppress his nausea. In addition to the air in the car and the fast speed. Ling Jie's stomach was churning.
When Ling Jie was still on his way, Tong Yifei called him and asked him where he was like a good wife and mother. Ling Jie said in a daze. "I'll be back soon.”
Tong Yifei said," Be careful.”
Ling Jie nodded. "Yes, I know. Rest early."
When they got out of the car, Ling Jie asked Song Jia to stop at a place some distance away from home, and Song Jia stopped the car. He asked. "Why are you afraid that your wife will misunderstand?”
"That's not it. It's just that it's better to avoid trouble." Ling Jie said.
Song Jia didn't say anything and just nodded. "Alright, I'll be leaving first."
Ling Jie was so tired that he felt like he was out of shape. His feet were hurting from running around all day. On his way home, he had to pass through a small alley. There was no light in the alley. If Ling Jie did not walk on the uneven road with his familiarity with the place, he would probably fall. Ling Jie had drunk too much and his stomach was uncomfortable. He held onto the wall and walked. In the dark night, she could vaguely see a person in front of her. Ling Jie didn't want to look any longer, so he leaned against the wall and squatted down. He couldn't help but vomit.
Ling Jie vomited until he was dizzy and light-headed, but he finally felt a little better. He heard Tong Yifei's voice as he was dizzy and his consciousness was in a mess. "Lingjie, what's wrong?"
She held Ling Jie's shoulders and leaned against her thin body, her tone filled with reproach. "Why are you drinking again?"
After returning home, Tong Yifei called Ling Jie's mother to open the door. She was very loud. Ling Jie's mother put on her clothes and came out to open the door for Tong Yifei. She scolded," What are you doing in the middle of the night? Can't you be quieter? I just fell asleep and you woke me up."”
But when he opened the door and saw Tong Yifei carrying Ling Jie, his expression immediately changed. "Yo. Oh my god, why is she so drunk again?”
"I don't know. I saw it when I went out.”Tong Yifei didn't have much strength to begin with, and it took her all the strength she had to carry Ling Jie back. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and big drops of sweat dripped down. "Mom, go cook something for Lingjie to sober him up. I'll get a handkerchief to wipe him. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to sleep for half the night.”
Ling Jie's mouth was gurgling, and his hands were not stopping either. He pulled Tong Yifei and started to talk nonsense. Tong Yifei couldn't hear him clearly as she laughed. She pressed down on Ling Jie's feet and helped him take off his shoes and clothes while saying," You drank so much for no reason. You drank yesterday and drank again today. Don't you feel uncomfortable?"”
Ling Jie looked like he was both sober and not. "I... Not uncomfortable... I'm Happy. Yesterday."
"Alright, I'll change your clothes for you. Go and rest early.”Tong Yifei placed Ling Jie back down. Ling Jie's forehead was covered in sweat. She pulled his hair before patting his head and coaxing him," Be good. I'll go get a towel."”
When she went out, she took Ling Jie's clothes with her and placed them in the clothes basket inside the toilet. She brought some water in to wipe the sweat off Ling Jie's body. At this time, Mother Ling also brought in some tea and said to Tong Yifei. "Help him up and give him a drink.”
Tong Yifei hurriedly put down the things in her hands and sat on the bed. She helped Ling Jie up and helped Mother Ling pour something into Ling Jie's mouth. Tong Yifei glanced at Mother Ling. When she looked at Ling Jie, her eyes were filled with love and concern for the child. When she saw this, Tong Yifei started to worry. Why didn't Mother Ling look at her like this?
Every morning, other than asking him to buy vegetables and cook, and being picky about what he cooked, he would do all kinds of cleaning. He would point here and talk there with a fierce look on his face.
After pouring the water, Ling Jie's mother helped Ling Jie lie down and instructed her. "Keep an eye on him. He's probably going to be in trouble again tonight.”
Tong Yifei nodded." Don't worry, I understand."”
"Don't sleep soundly at night. If he wakes up, get up and take a look.”As she left, she still looked at Ling Jie worriedly.
Tong Yifei looked at Mother Ling's reluctant expression as if she was afraid that she would eat Ling Jie. Even if he gave her another heart, he would not put it in his stomach with peace of mind.
