Chapter 708: Is this my illusion?
After Qin Yan left, I finally had a time to turn on my phone and check today's entertainment news. Sure enough, I saw the news about Le Yao in the most eye-catching page. To be precise, it was Cao Jinfei's news, but it was also a news about Le Yao who was closely related to him.
In the news, a reporter from an entertainment magazine took photos of Cao Jinfei and a domestic front-line female celebrity on vacation in the Maldives. The two went in and out of the hotel together and behaved in close manners...
This press release also took a lot of time to analyze the incident in detail, and characterize the marriage between Cao Jinfei and Le Yao as a commercial marriage. There is actually no real love between the two...
I checked Le Yao's Weibo again. At this time, her Weibo had been blasted by netizens watching. Some people said: This was a hype created by her and Cao Jinfei, because her movie was being filmed, which is a practice in the circle. Some people expressed disdain for this remark, believing that there was no need for Le Yao to hype with her marriage reputation, and scolded Cao Jinfei as a lone man who was not worthy of Le Yao... At the same time, jokes about Le Yao and Cao Jinfei were emerging one after another, and the two stood on the cusp... So, everyone who was concerned about this cheating incident was waiting for Le Yao to respond positively, but Le Yao disappeared, and even the assistant next to her did not know where she was going, which made the speculation from the outside world become more and more uncontrollable!
I subconsciously frowned, subconsciously threw my phone aside, and put my hands heavily on my face. I didn't want to see the endless right and wrong in the entertainment industry, and I didn't have the ability to figure out the whole story... I really don't believe that Cao Jinfei would be on the road to betrayal of marriage so quickly!
Suddenly, I inexplicably wanted to see the parties respond to the whole incident more than everyone else... but I had to control it. I forced myself to remind myself not to participate in this incident, and at most I just paid attention to it silently.
I focused my mind again and turned all my attention to my entrepreneurial plan. The customers in the coffee shop changed one after another when I turned a blind eye. So Xiao Nuo, who had to be a barista and a waiter, was busy all the time... I finally got up to help her share some chores after the street light outside the window lit up for a long time.
The people in the store gradually dissipated, and the bustle just now was gone forever. I saw the end of the day in the swaying lights...
I sat on the sofa tiredly, lit a cigarette, and looked at today's bill... Today's income is very good. I sold 82 cups of coffee in a day, totaling 2,637 yuan. I put the scattered money in my wallet and prepared to end the day's business of the coffee shop... At this moment, I really want to go back and have a nap, but I remember that Mi Cai is still attending the company's annual meeting, so I'm afraid I have to drink. I have to drive to pick her up later, so I said to Xiaonuo: "Xiaonuo, clean the store and go back and rest first."
"What about you?"
"Your sister-in-law will attend the company's annual meeting tonight. I don't know when it will end, so I'll wait for her in the coffee shop."
Xiao Nuo thought for a while and replied, "Anyway, there is nothing wrong with me when I go back. Why not stay with you for a while? Maybe there will be customers coming later!"
I smiled and said, "This is voluntary and cannot be considered as overtime salary!"
"Stingy boss!" Xiao Nuo said as he went to the bar to brew two glasses of milk, then sat down opposite me with a tray, and handed me one of the glasses of milk. Before I could drink it, she asked worriedly: "Brother Zhaoyang, have you seen the news about Le Yao and Cao Jinfei today?"
Although I was mentally prepared and knew that she would ask, I was still bored and silent for a long time before replying: "Look."
Xiaonuo seemed to feel my avoidance of this matter. After a while of silence, he asked again: "Brother Zhaoyang, I am actually quite curious. Why is the big star Le Yao good friend to the little boss of your coffee shop? Is there any chance here?"
I looked at her and pretended to be surprised and said, "Xiao Nuo, you big traitor... You must be the eyeliner arranged by some entertainment magazine by me. The purpose is to steal entertainment information from me, right?"
Xiaonuo was frightened by me and stared at me in a daze...
I finally put away my stern face and said again: "Don't ask about these past things, because Le Yao and I have already had their own lives. At best, we are just ordinary friends, and there is no chance to be a coincidence... If we have to say chance, we couldn't do anything a few years ago. We were in trouble together, and then we supported each other and said some words of encouragement. That's it."
Xiao Nuoxin thought it was true: "Oh...If this is the case, Le Yao probably won't remember you too much. After all, a person will meet many such friends in his life, and she is such a big star now, and your circle of friends has fundamentally changed!"
I nodded: "That's about that."
Xiao Nuo suddenly remembered something, grabbed my arm and shook it violently, and said indignantly: "Then tell me, is there any other record of the matter I asked her to sign?...I feel that people don't remember you at all. You lied to me, and you said it's okay to eat together... I'm going to die! You are a big liar who weaves lies to squeeze the surplus value of employees in order to achieve your goal!"
I was so sad that I didn't say a word... This made her mistakenly think that I was lying to her, so she shook it even harder, and I was even sadder. I always felt that some memories and time from the past could not be recovered...
I finally comforted me: "Don't worry, what I promised you will definitely do!"
"What if it can't be done?"
"If you can't do it, I'm just a grandson, okay?"
"This is quite sincere. From now on, I will work hard for the coffee shop!"
......
It was already dark, and I finally waited for Mi Cai to ask me to answer her phone call. I immediately threw away those complicated thoughts and hurried to the hotel where their company held an annual meeting. It happened that Li Xiaoyun's husband Wang Zheng was also there. We got off the car together, and then smoked and waited for the two to come out of the hotel.
After waiting for ten minutes, I finally saw a large group of people walking out staggeringly. Li Xiaoyun came to me with a drunk Mi Cai and said with a little apology: "Zhaoyang, I'm sorry, because I'm pregnant and can't drink. Today, Mi Cai is helping me block the wine, and she's a little drunk!"
I took Mi Cai from her and smiled and said, "It's okay, she's under great pressure recently. It's okay to drink some wine and indulge her. And drinking like this will make her glorious! After all, I have taken care of the baby in your belly!... When the baby is born in the future, you have to tell him (her) how desperate Aunt Mi Cai is for him (her) and you have to be particularly filial to Aunt Mi Cai when you grow up!"
My words made Li Xiaoyun laugh very happily. She told me to take good care of Mi Cai, and then she got in the car and left...
I took a heavy breath, leaned against the street light and picked up Mi Cai, then placed it in the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and left the luxurious hotel in front of me.
......
On the way back, there were flashing lights and crowded crowds everywhere. For the sake of driving safety, I drove the car very slowly, and then waited for the alternation of traffic lights at intersections.
This was another traffic light intersection that needed to wait for more than two minutes. I simply pulled up the handbrake and dropped the car window, allowing the dizzy Micaido to breathe the air outside the window, and fed her some warm milk brought from the coffee shop. She seemed very thirsty and drank a little anxiously, so she was choked. She shouted uncomfortable in her mouth, which made me feel very distressed. While patting her shoulder gently, she was preparing to take out a tissue to wipe off the water stains on her mouth...
The light in the city is still intertwining and flickering, and the people on the road gather in the light and spread in different directions... I put my hand on the edge of the window and looked at it, but in my mind, I was calculating whether a green light was enough for me to drive through this intersection, because I wanted to take the drunk Micai home early to rest, so it would be uncomfortable to sit in the car like this.
While looking around, I suddenly felt like I had an illusion. I saw a familiar figure wearing a mask and a baseball cap and walking towards the depths of the lights with the crowd...
I leaned my body to explore the car window again, but the figure had already merged with the lights in the distance, leaving only a vague afterimage... I didn't have time to tell.
While I was shaking my mind, a whistle sounded. I looked up and found that the signal light had turned green. I quickly released the handbrake and drove to the next intersection with the car in front...
......
I couldn't calm down. I was thinking about whether that figure was her... But at the next intersection, I saw several women wearing masks and hats. Then I realized that it was my illusion. After all, it was a winter night, and many women would go shopping with masks. The reason why I had an illusion was because I had been thinking about Le Yao and Cao Jinfei for the past few hours, so I was misled by my subconscious. Just imagine: How could Le Yao run to this place in Xuzhou? Even if I came, Xuzhou was so big, how could I happen to be seen by me?
I gradually figured it out and affirmed that the moment I just had an illusion. I finally stopped thinking about it, focused all my attention on driving, and in a blink of an eye, I arrived at the last intersection before I got home...
