Chapter 149 Chapter 149: Sorry

"Director Cheng, a soldier said he was looking for you, but he said he won't."

Not long after Cheng Lijin hung up on Guan Luji, she received a call from the porter. Hearing the anxious and nervous voice of the old guard, Cheng Lijin felt warm in her heart, and said softly, "Master Li, did I bother you? "

"Well, okay, I see. I've called him and I won't come here again."

"Thank you, Master Li."

I have been in Philadelphia for nearly 20 years, and I have been in F University for 18 years.Colleagues here have become friends and relatives, and there are open and secret fights and intrigues on campus, but no matter how intellectuals fight, there are always some intellectuals who are so noble in their bones.

And she came here originally to avoid right and wrong, coupled with her strong background, she doesn't bother to fight for anything. After a long time, everyone knows that except for a few people she doesn't want to make friends with, most of them have become friends .

Compared to being in Kyoto...

Cheng Lijin naturally prefers this place.

At 11:40, Cheng Lijin finished class on time. When she walked out of the classroom with her textbooks in her arms, the sunlight at noon was dazzling.Picking up the textbook to cover the forehead, squinting and looking at the front, these young children under the sun are invincible and energetic.

Unexpectedly, without knowing it, so many years have passed.

Even the son has passed such a vigorous age.

Cheng Lijin sighed softly, rubbed her swollen eyes from adapting to the light, and walked out quickly.

If a person can forget her days, it means that she doesn't need to be disturbed by others in her life—no one can do it.

*
"Teacher Cheng." When Cheng Lijin walked into the restaurant, the familiar waiter immediately ran up and whispered in her ear: "The customer came early in the morning and has been sitting here until now."

"Oh?" Cheng Lijin slightly raised her brows, and asked with a smile, "How many cups of tea did you drink? How many stacks of free snacks did you eat? No extra seat fee?"

"Also, if you hadn't become the teacher's guest, we would have kicked him out." The waiter laughed.

"Thank you, it turned out to be saving face for me." Cheng Lijin said with a smile.

"Actually, it's not. It looks like a Buddha. We really don't dare." The waiter stuck out his tongue, greeted the colleague next to him, and let Cheng Lijin drink the fruit tea he often drank, and then accompanied him Cheng Li entered the private room.

"You... you're here." Guan Luji, who was so frightened that the waiter didn't dare to speak more, saw Cheng Lijin, but he didn't know how to put his hands and feet in a rigid manner.

"En." Cheng Lijin nodded, and after telling the waiter to serve the meal directly, she walked in and sat down opposite Guan Luji.

"Sit down." Seeing Guan Luji standing all the time, Cheng Li glanced at him lightly, took the fruit tea that the waiter had just brought over, brewed her teacup gracefully, then picked up the glass teapot on the candle burner, Poured a cup of fruit tea into a transparent glass.

The orange-yellow transparent liquid swayed gently in the crystal-clear glass, reflecting the sunlight outside the window and emitting a faint heat.

After taking two sips of hot tea calmly, Cheng Lijin held the tea cup warm for a while, then raised her head to look at Guan Luji who was sitting opposite, and asked directly, "Are you here for business or private?"

"After so many years, I still owe you an apology." Guan Luji looked at her straight - 20 years had changed a lot, her hair was half white like her own, but she hadn't dyed it.

Not much has changed in 20 years. She is always decent, always calm, always insightful about human nature, and... always right.

But... yes, she was right all along.

Cheng Lijin couldn't help laughing, holding a water glass and looking at Guan Luji, two small canine teeth were exposed, lining the wrinkles on her face, with a mature innocence.

"I'm 51 this year, so you should be 58 this year too? Add up to one hundred years old, these words..." Cheng Lijin shook her head with a smile, and when she looked at Guan Luji, her expression turned serious. Seriously said: "Your matter has nothing to do with me after our divorce. I'm sorry, it's all before the divorce. Since we have chosen to separate, the past is over, and I am used to looking forward."

"Emotional matters, the heart is not in the form, it is divorced, it does not mean that there is no regret. I was an asshole back then, and I can only agree with any decision you make. I am sorry for losing my promise to you and marriage. regret."

Cheng Lijin narrowed her eyes, and gently blew on the tea in the cup. The transparent orange-yellow ripples caused small ripples due to the gentle blowing, carrying a little emotion.But her eyes were as calm as a sinking pool, but there was no wave in her insight.

After taking a sip of tea, Cheng Lijin slowly put down the teacup, smiled slightly, looked at Guan Luji with a gentle face, and said flatly and softly: "I see, I accept your apology. Then, you have other something?"

"You—" Guan Luji was so choked by her that he couldn't speak, and finally had to say: "Rui Cheng's temper really resembles you."

"My son, who else should I look like?" Cheng Lijin said with a smile, but obviously, when Guan Ruicheng was mentioned, her indifferent eyes were stained with a layer of gentle emotion.

"Li Jin, you are so stubborn. Even if you want to get a divorce, what's wrong with staying in the capital? After walking so far, what embarrassment does your mother and son encounter, and there is no one to help you?" Guan Luji sighed softly. In his tone, thinking of her absoluteness, he was not without resentment.

It's just that she is Cheng Lijin, so what can he do.

"Based on my ability and my background, is there anything I can't solve that requires your ex-husband to come forward?" Cheng Lijin's tone became a little impatient: "Guan Luji, if you are here today to reminisce about the old days, I miss you. I don't consider you a friend, so I don't need to sit here and listen to your nonsense."

"If there's anything else, just say it."

Guan Luji looked straight at Cheng Lijin, his face suddenly darkened.He has been in a high position for more than [-] years, and he is not without temper.

Although he was extremely sorry and caring for her in his heart, her merciless reprimand made him very embarrassed, and the rare softness in his heart was slowly put away in her indifference.

"What I said just now is the first thing. I think it is also very important, no matter whether you think it is necessary or not, I have expressed my meaning." Guan Luji said in a deep voice:

"The second thing is about the army. The old man was forced to retire, and the second child went to the military court. Rui Cheng is the captain's assistant in the information army."

"I know about Rui Cheng." Cheng Lijin nodded, and said without emotion, which clearly drew the boundary between two people, or two families.

"It's impossible for the old man to return to his original position, but the second child still has a chance to come out." Guan Luji bit the bullet and continued.

Cheng Lijin twitched the corner of her mouth ironically, put down the cup in her hand, looked straight at Guan Luji, and said in a cold voice: "Guan Luji, I think I should remind you: you are a soldier."

"I know I'm a soldier, but I can't ignore him because of my family relationship." Guan Luji looked confused.

"Can family affection override military regulations and laws?"

"Everyone thinks like you, what does the country need laws for?"

"It's funny."

Cheng Li stood up abruptly, looked at Guan Luji and said sharply: "Guan Luji, as Rui Cheng's mother, I tell you: don't ruin your future, I don't want my son to take risks for you, although I will stop him."

"Second, I tell you as a citizen: don't break the law, people are doing it, and the sky is watching."

Cheng Lijin picked up the textbook on the table, turned around and strode out.

Guan Luji picked up the teacup and threw it down forcefully. Cheng Lijin, who heard the movement, only paused slightly, with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and quickly left the restaurant without stopping.

The restaurant waiter was so frightened that he stood secretly at the door of the private room, for fear that this person would do something unfavorable to Teacher Cheng, but thinking about how imposing Teacher Cheng was just now, it was obvious that the old man in the private room suffered a disadvantage.

Several waiters looked at each other and gave each other a thumbs up: I didn't expect the gentle and refined Teacher Cheng to show such a domineering side, so handsome.

"Waiter, serve." Guan Luji sat inside calmly for a long time, got up and picked up the pieces of the teacup that fell on the ground, and then calmly called the waiter to serve the food.

"Okay, here we come." The waiters glanced at each other and waved vigorously to the master who was holding the plate in the distance, and the master walked in quickly with the tray: "Hello, this is the meal you ordered. "

"Let's put it down." Guan Luji said with a sullen face. After the waiter went out, he ate with big mouthfuls, but within fifteen minutes, he ate most of the food on the table like a storm.

"Waiter, pack the rest and pay me the bill. The broken cup will also be included." Guan Luji said coldly.

"Okay." The waiters were a little confused about the situation——

Seeing that the old man's demeanor is obviously very cultivated, why did he lose his temper with Teacher Cheng just now;

Teacher Cheng is obviously a very personable person, how could he dismiss a soldier.

The little girls were muttering in their hearts, but they didn't dare to neglect their hands and feet. They settled their accounts, swiped their cards, and packed their bags as quickly as possible since they went to work. After going, he let out a sigh of relief.

"It's over, I didn't count the money for that cup?"

"I remembered, this old uncle looks like Teacher Xiaoguan."

"Didn't lift the private room... What did you say? Like Teacher Xiaoguan?"

The waiters looked at me and I looked at you, they all covered their mouths with their hands, and they all turned their heads to look at the boss - the boss was looking at them with a cold face: "Hurry up and greet the guests, everyone What's the ink on there!"

"I'm coming."

The little waiters scattered in an instant.But in my heart I was extremely suspicious: the majestic old man who was taught by Teacher Cheng just now was probably Teacher Xiaoguan's father.

That is...

Become the teacher's husband.

After Cheng Lijin left the restaurant, she went straight back to the school cafeteria.Greeted colleagues and students passing by, took a plate and ordered the most common set meal, and then walked to the window.

"Teacher Cheng."

Pei Bao'er's charming voice sounded behind her, Cheng Lijin turned around slightly, and saw Pei Bao'er who was putting the dinner plate on her knees, pushing the wheelchair towards her.

"Why are you eating here today?" Cheng Lijin walked over with a plate.

"The food at home is not delicious today." Pei Baoer looked at Cheng Lijin and smiled sweetly.

"It's not delicious, but it's better than the ones here." Cheng Lijin smiled and shook her head, and handed her her plate: "Hold it for me, and I'll push it."

"I can do it myself." Pei Baoer took the plate, but she didn't want Cheng Lijin to push her away.

"A jewelry designer's hands are not only used for drawing, but also for displaying. There is no model who can fully express the designer's thoughts, only herself." Cheng Lijin pushed the chair towards the window Walking to the side, said softly: "Although your family's corporate background can easily transform your works into products, as a teacher, I still hope that you can experience everything a new designer needs to experience."

"What's there? It wasn't mentioned in the textbook." Pei Baoer looked up at Cheng Lijin, her eyes bright with innocence.

"Design, find a manufacturer to make a sample, show it in person, someone orders it, turn it into a big product, and finally become a famous designer." Cheng Lijin pushed Bao'er to the front and back of the dining table and asked her, "Do you want to change the chair?"

"No. Thank you, teacher." After putting the dinner plate on the table, Pei Baoer took her own plate from her lap and put it on it. After Cheng Lijin sat down, she looked at her and said, "There is another way, which is Participate in the competition, it is best to win an award, and after winning the award, the chance of product transformation is greater.”

"All the participating designers showed their works by themselves." Cheng Lijin nodded, but reminded her: "Rui Cheng also participated in some competitions when he just graduated. I remember that at that time, one month before each competition, he I no longer do rough and heavy work, and soak my hands with milk every day. Although as a male designer, most of the works are displayed by female models, but the most core works are best displayed by yourself, and when the photographer takes pictures, the works are in hand Here, we must benefit from each other."

"Ms. Guan still uses milk to soak her hands?" Pei Baoer opened her eyes wide and looked at Cheng Lijin in surprise, feeling unbelievable.

"You don't believe it?" Cheng Lijin looked at her with a smile.

"But he has calluses on his hands." Pei Baoer asked.

"After that period of time, there is no need to cherish it too much." Cheng Lijin said with a smile, and asked casually: "How many calluses does his hand have?"

"Two on one side..." Pei Bao'er said it casually, but in the middle of the sentence, her face suddenly turned red—even if she knew it, she shouldn't have said it.

as if...

It seems that they deliberately want to show that they are very close, but in fact they don't.But it is easy to misunderstand.

"Two on each side, that means the middle finger and the ring finger are down, and they're used for practicing equipment." Cheng Lijin didn't seem to think much about it, and her expression looked as usual.

"Ahem, isn't it?" Pei Bao'er lowered her head and responded in a low voice, trying to reduce her sense of existence at this moment.

 1. Appreciate Mama Guan's attitude: Divorce doesn't matter anymore. The past is just sorry for the past self, and has nothing to do with the present self. Those who look forward will not be hurt by the past.

  2. Will Mama Guan like the little girl Baoer?I think I'll like it.

  3. I'm sorry to say that starting tomorrow, I will take two months' leave.The main purpose is to visit some universities in the United States and the United Kingdom to prepare for the children's choice of universities and majors in the future.
