Promise You a Prosperous Life - C52
Ever since I had stopped thinking about Yu Mo and Durangxin, my life and thoughts had become much more substantial and full of energy as I worked, and I found that this was indeed the best way to forget my troubles.
That day at work, I was methodically doing the counting and receiving the money, and when I paid the bill to a tall, clean-looking, clean-cut man, I noticed a wallet on the counter. I guessed it must be his, and turned back to shout.
However, when everyone stopped to listen, the tall man didn’t react at all. He straightened his back, and without even turning his head back, he disappeared from the exit of the supermarket.
Sometimes a man is like a child who has lost something without realizing it. I would have put the wallet aside and given it to the tall man when he came back for it, but when I saw the ID card and the bank card in it, I changed my mind and handed the wallet to the team leader.
I thought this would be the end of it, but at noon the next day, when I was having my lunch shift, the tall man appeared again, standing before me gratefully with two boxes of milk in his hand.
“Thank you for finding my wallet. Although I don’t have much money, I just recently established a new company and have some procedures that need to be settled, so my ID card is very important to me. If I can’t find it and repair it, it will be very troublesome, so I came here today to thank you.”
When the tall man said this, he was about to put down the two boxes of milk. I quickly stopped him. “This is nothing, it’s what I should do. Also, you should take the things back. I definitely won’t take them.”
The tall man gave in a few times and, seeing that I was adamant, gave up. He took out a business card and handed it to me.
I thought he was just being polite, so I took it and said, “Thank you.”
I saw that the card said “must win logistics company”, the general manager’s column is not to win, the corner of my mouth could not help but smile, not to win, is not I won the voice? His parents really knew how to name things.
I can’t help but to smile when I see my expression. Because of this little episode, the strangeness between me and this little victory has been reduced by quite a bit.
When I was back to normal, I asked tentatively, “Talking to you is like talking to a friend you haven’t seen for years. I’m in a very good mood. Can you give me your number?”
I was stunned. We only had a few words with regards to the relationship between the seller and the buyer. How did it get to the point where we needed a phone number?
I said half-jokingly, “To ask such a request of a strange girl is a somewhat rude thing to do.”
After all, you are a young man with social experience. Listen to me, with the same humorous tone, you can dissolve the awkwardness with a few words.
“I was thinking it would be more convenient if I could. If one day I drop my wallet, you can directly notify me to take it. But it doesn’t matter since I live nearby, I will have the chance to meet you again in the future.”
It’s easy to talk to smart people. I smiled and chatted with Little Jun for a bit before I went back to work in the supermarket.
Today, there were a lot of people at the supermarket. When I got off work, I was so tired that I almost couldn’t stand properly. It wasn’t easy for me to get off work, so I hurriedly rushed back.
His hair was still tied up, but it was very different from the clothes he wore at the police station. He was covered in designer brands, giving the impression of a noble lady. If she hadn’t called me by my name, I wouldn’t have dared to associate the woman in front of me with the woman at the police station.
But the concern of Don Shaoyo didn’t change in the slightest. Seeing me wriggling around, a look of pity appeared in her eyes, and she wanted to treat me to a meal.
I also thanked her from the bottom of my heart for taking care of me at the police station, saying that I would take care of the meal, and then, taking her arm affectionately, I went to a nearby restaurant.
I sat down and ordered some dishes. After the waiter left, I impatiently asked, “When did you come out?” Did that big brute come looking for trouble again? ”
“The day you came out, I came out. As for that woman, I didn’t care because she was no match for me.”
I smiled as if I had seen that outspoken Don Chao in the police station again, but then I remembered something and paused, puzzled.
“You seem quite upright and loyal. Shouldn’t you be in a place like the police station? Can you tell me the reason?”
Tang Xiao Hui changed from his usual straightforward manner and didn’t reply immediately. Instead, he stared at me. Thus, I somewhat regretted my impudence just now. When I wanted to change the topic, Tang Xiao Ye said these words.
“Do you believe me when I say that I entered the police station for you? But believe it or not, it was true. “I came back from the United States not long ago. I wanted to go look for you first, but when I heard that you were going to the ‘Billions Hotel’, I decided that something would happen to you, so I gave myself a bit of trouble and went in first. I didn’t want the people there to bully you.”
Don Chao came back from the United States? But why would she want me? And going to the police station for my own honor. It all sounds more than a little messy.
Don Shaoye added, looking at my increasingly confused expression.
“You must be wondering about our relationship. To tell you the truth, your mother and I have been friends since we were young. We’re very close, so you should call me Auntie.”
I was shaken again.
And when Tang Shaoyi said these words, there were actually tears in his eyes. Wiping them away, he slowly told me the story between her and her mother.
“When I was young, I had smallpox and the medical conditions were bad, because I was worried about being infected, everyone avoided me, only your mother didn’t mind, so she chatted with me every day to encourage me, so, after I recovered, your mother and I became sworn sisters, but when I was 15 or 16 years old, my American relatives took me over, and your mother and I never contacted each other again, but I always remember that sister in my heart, but when I came back, your mother … She …”
When I heard this, my mind immediately flashed with the yellow roses that my parents had placed in front of their graves, so I asked.
“Aunt Tang, are you going to visit my parents?”
Tang Xiao Hua knew what I meant and nodded.
“Yes, I bought the yellow roses in front of your parents’ tombs. When I saw you, I wanted to recognize you as well, but because I wasn’t ready, I hid.”
So it was like this. I was moved by Tang Xiao Hua’s attitude towards friendship. I also recalled my past and could not help but feel a burst of bitterness in my nose.
“Don’t be upset, son. You’ll never have to suffer again, because I’m going to take you to America and inherit my company there.”
