Chapter 51 It's all a misunderstanding
I was very confused. It was so late, who would call me? And I was extremely unfamiliar with this phone number, and I was sure I had never seen it before.
I pressed the answer button and said, "Hey, who can I ask?"
A woman's voice came from her phone: "Is it Mr. Tang Qian? I'm Xu Shu. I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I have a few questions in my mind. I want you to answer it for me. Is it convenient for you now?"
I was silent for a while and said, "I'm sorry, it's inconvenient for me now."
"Oh? I'm really sorry, but after the banquet, I thought about it carefully and felt that I might have made something wrong between you and Jingjing. Can you give me two minutes to ask me clearly?"
I sneered in my heart. Why didn’t you think about asking clearly at that time? Since you decided at first glance that I was the kind of person who clings to the dragon and possessed the phoenix, and Hua Jingjing and I were with her for her money, so why should I make a mistake in hypocrisy now?
I think the misunderstanding is not terrible, just explain it clearly. What is terrible is her attitude of looking down on the poor and her thought that money can buy everything. I think this is what I hate most. Although explanation may make Xu Shu understand the truth, it cannot change her thoughts of the rich who despise the working people and think that money is the first.
Fortunately, she is still a big star who admires everyone! You should know that most of her admirers are ordinary people like me. While she said to her fans on the stage, she looked down on them in her heart. What's the use of such a hypocritical person to tell her the truth?
Besides, I have been insulted by her, and my self-esteem can no longer make me forgive her. Even if she apologizes to me after understanding it, it cannot make up for the harm she has given me. I don’t expect her to say sorry to me, I made a mistake. That’s not what I want. What I want is respect! It’s equality!
Since she handed me the two checks and asked me to leave Hua Jingjing, her originally beautiful image in my mind has been destroyed. I looked down on her from the bottom of my heart. What is money? She is only rich. What is famous? Her fame is given by others. Once others look down on her, she is nothing! There is another way, she is beautiful! But what is beautiful? A person with an ugly heart, no matter how beautiful the face is, he cannot be regarded as a beauty. The beauty of a beauty also includes the beauty of the soul.
So I didn't want to explain anything to Xu Shu, I really disdain to explain it. Since you have seen me to death, I will try my best to explain the situation to her. Proving that my innocence is to bring shame on myself. Because this will only make her look down on me even more.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through my mind, but one thing was certain, that is, I could no longer be insulted by her.
So I said, "I don't think there is anything to say, just ask Hua Jingjing yourself! I have something to do now, so I'll have to die first."
"Wait a minute! Please wait!" Xu Shu said anxiously.
I endured it for a while and didn't hang up my phone.
Xu Shu said: "Don't I still want to return your scarf? Tell me about time, I'll give it back to you."
I deliberately made things difficult for her and said, "I want it now! Can you give it back to me?"
Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "Where are you now? I will send someone to deliver it in an hour."
I happened to walk to the intersection of Shangmao Street and saw rows of snack stalls on the side of the road. So I said, "One hour? Well, now I'm having a midnight snack in Shangmao Street. You can send someone here as soon as possible. There is a post office here, and I'll wait at the door of the post office later."
Xu Shu said: "Okay, it's eleven forty-seven now. I will deliver the scarf to you in an hour." I stopped talking and hung up directly, and walked to the street stall.
Considering that I had to wait for an hour, I didn’t call it Yangchun Noodles or dumplings and other fast snacks. I went into a barbecue shed, ordered grilled corn, grilled steamed buns and a few mutton skewers, and ordered a bowl of thick sweet corn porridge. I waited while drinking, but there was still an hour left, so I had a lot of time.
After I had enough food and drink, and burped, it was only 45 minutes after. So I didn't rush to leave, but lit a cigarette and sat in my seat to fix the time.
After smoking a cigarette, it only took five minutes. I got up to pay the bill, walked out of the barbecue shed and walked towards the opposite post office. I thought to myself: "The one who gave me my scarf in a few minutes must be the one who was very powerful Wang Bingzhang? Well, it may not be. I am a man. He is Xu Shu's bodyguard leader. He used to be a captain of the army. How could he give me a small scarf in person? Most of the time, sending a bodyguard will look down on me."
I lit another cigarette and started smoking. Because it was too late, and the Shangma Street was a famous snack street. So there were no cars coming and there were also food. At about twelve to forty-six minutes, I saw the lights on Jianguo Road in the distance flashing, and a car rushed over at an unbelievable speed. I drove straight into the Shangma Street, and a rattled and stopped at the door of the post office.
I threw away the cigarette butts, leaned over and saw if it was someone sent by Xu Shu. However, as soon as the car door opened, Xu Shu, wearing a pitch-black leather jacket, poked his head out and said to me: "Mr. Tang!"
I was surprised. Xu Shu, a big star, came to deliver my things back in the middle of the night?
I said, "Why are you here? Where is the thing?"
Xu Shu first smiled, and then said seriously: "I'm sorry, I lied, there is nothing now."
I was stunned for a moment and started to get a little angry. If I hadn't seen Xu Shushen come out in the middle of the night, I would have shown my solemnity. I would have left immediately. I would have been so angry that I would have teased people like this!
Seeing my face change color, Xu Shu hurriedly said, "Because your scarf is at my parents' house, it's too far from here, and you're going to have it right away. I had no choice but to say that I would meet in an hour. Actually, I want to take you to pick it up. This will save time and talk. Mr. Tang, are you okay?"
I thought about it and said, "Why don't you ask your men to come and get it for me? Or ask them to take me to pick it up. You, a big star, come in person, I really can't afford it!"
Xu Shu said: "Because my parents' home can't get in except me, and I put your scarf in my own room, I don't want others to flip around, so I have to come in person. Then I want to talk to you, can you get in the car first? The door is here, it's so cold."
I hesitated, not knowing whether to get in the car and pick it up with her. Of course there is nothing to be afraid of when I get the scarf. I just don't want her to ask me about Hua Jingjing. Since I didn't explain at the time, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing afterwards, which made Xu Shu look down on me.
Seeing me hesitating, Xu Shu added: "At noon tomorrow, my agent and I will fly to Hollywood for audition and dress up and make-up. I don't know when I will come back. If you are not in a hurry, you can't go with me tonight. Then you have to wait for me to come back from the United States. Can you wait?"
I sighed and said to myself, "At worst, I can pretend to be mute, I will be careless when I ask questions. If you have the ability, you will force me to speak." I made up my mind and got into the car.
Xu Shu smiled slightly, she looked up and down at me and said, "Where is your expensive suit? You changed it so quickly?"
I smiled coldly and said, "After driving, I just want to get my own things back, I never want others."
Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and stopped asking, saying, "Hait a seat belt, the road is very far, I want to drive a fast train." Xu Shu's car was a sports car I had never seen before and could not name it. But I saw the interior of the car exquisitely equipped and beautifully shaped. In addition, Xu Shu himself is a big star, so it is probably expensive. After I reached out to fasten my seat belt, I ignored her and pretended to close my eyes to rest.
The car started, and the performance of this sports car was really good. After turning around and speeding with all his might, the inside of the car was so stable that the glass of water was not poured on, and the engine only made a slight sound, which looked no worse than the Ferrari.
The sports car turned a few streets and suddenly drove into May 1st Road. At the speed of the car, we arrived near the gymnasium in a few minutes.
Xu Shu slowed down and stopped at the intersection of Gymnasium Road and May 1st Road. Xu Shu looked at the familiar place and whispered: "I will never forget that on that snowy night, you carried me to the hospital. From then on, I thought that you were a kind and kind person. I would definitely repay you for what I said."
I was also very moved when I saw this place. That night was a beautiful page in my memory. Xu Shu was beautiful and cute in my mind. But this beautiful page today, no! It was completely destroyed by her last night. I couldn't help but say, "Your reward is to give me money and ask me to leave Hua Jingjing? Thank you! I can't bear this kind of reward!"
Xu Shu said: "I admit that giving you money was my mistake at that time, because the image you gave me was so good. I always thought you were a poor man with endless ambitions. Have you forgotten? You told me that you were about to be laid off. I wanted to help you, but you refused. I also said that I am a big man with hands and feet. Will you starve to death? I admired and admired him very much after hearing this. But last night I saw you dressed in a nouveau riche and appeared at my birthday party with my best friend. To be honest, my good image for you was destroyed at that time. I was very angry and disappointed. So I looked down on you and thought you were actually a villain who was greedy for wealth, so I gave you money and asked you to leave Jingjing. I don't want my best friend to be deceived by you."
I remained silent, but I was listening seriously.
Xu Shu looked at me sincerely and said, "If you really accept those two checks, I will despise you for the rest of my life, and even I will ask my bodyguard to drive you out immediately and disappear in front of me forever. I will hate that I misread you, I will - in short, I will be really angry. But fortunately you didn't want it, and what you said made me feel that something was strange. I thought about it for a long time after the banquet. I think about it for a long time. I don't think you are not that kind of person, and you don't want money to make me feel very relieved. Mr. Tang, are you still the good person in my mind? I need the answer! I need you to tell me! So it's so late, I still have to come to you. I don't want the good person who is sweating heavily on the snowy night to be misunderstood by me. If it is true, I will not be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life!"
Looking at her eager and sincere eyes, my heart's hatred for her began to melt. If Xu Shu said everything was true, then we all misunderstood. This misunderstanding is actually easy to resolve, but because of my arrogance and self-esteem, I was reluctant to say it. I couldn't help but think of my arrogance, which once hurt Qiu Jieqin. Am I wrong? Will arrogance and self-esteem really make many things impossible to collude?
