Chapter 867 Oh! What a coincidence! We both lost our memories (49)
"Uncle, Xiaoyue's birthday is next month. I know she likes pink lisianthus." Li Yang said to Tang Jitian with a smile, "I have also booked her favorite restaurant and will use this flower as decoration.
I know you all used to celebrate your birthdays at home, so please give me a chance this time and let me take care of it so we can all have a happy gathering together!"
These few seemingly ordinary words perfectly answered the question raised by Tang Jitian earlier.
Tang Jitian didn't know whether Cao Chendong understood the truth, but after these words, he became more and more satisfied with Li Yang as his son-in-law.
As expected! When people are compared, the differences between them become apparent.
He patted Li Yang and said, "Xiao Yang, you are a good person. Maintain the status quo and keep up the good work!"
Cao Chendong was just skeptical at first, but now he is almost certain that the man called "Xiao Yang" is Tang Yingyue's new boyfriend.
And he is a boyfriend who has passed his parents' fame.
Should he let go?
Cao Chendong didn't know.
Given his personality, when faced with such a situation, letting go in time seemed to be the only way for him and Tang Yingyue to maintain their final dignity.
She doesn't remember herself, which is actually a good thing!
At least he won't bother me because he didn't marry me.
This is a good thing! It should be a good thing!
But why did his heart hurt so much, why was he almost breathing?
When he came back to his senses, he was already sitting in the driver's seat of his car, with a salty taste at the corners of his mouth.
When he reached out and touched it, he realized that he was already in tears!
Cao Chendong couldn't remember the last time he cried. He only remembered that after meeting Tang Yingyue, his troubles and pain seemed to have an outlet. There was always someone who would comfort him and accompany him to find a solution.
During the most difficult year, he sought financing everywhere and expressed his views over and over again in order to build the company.
At the beginning, the only audience member was Tang Yingyue. She was very smart and could always point out her own shortcomings.
She would correct the intonation of his hometown and ask him to deliberately add the unique accent of S City to some ending sounds and specific words.
As an only child from a well-off family in a second-tier city, she is often naturally superior to him, a "top student" from a small place, in terms of knowledge and experience.
But Tang Yingyue never showed any sense of superiority in front of him, and even endured everything in order to protect his pitiful self-esteem.
Of course he knew that this was not because she had a good temper, but simply because she loved him.
When did he start to act so high and mighty?
Is it when you get your first huge round of financing?
Is it when the first acquisition is completed?
Or when he bought his first house in S City through his own efforts?
Cao Chendong no longer remembers it. He only knows that when he completed the class jump, he had the idea that he was superior to her.
Reaching out and slapping himself in the face, he whimpered, "Damn me! I actually forgot that I worked so hard just to give us a good future. But if this future doesn't have Xiaoyue, then what kind of future is it!"
People always pursue what they want relentlessly, and the greater the desire, the more they want.
Some people get lost on this road ahead, forgetting that what they wanted at first was just a bowl of porridge and a meal, and the person who could spend the morning and evening with them.
But only by keeping your original intention in mind can you achieve your goal.
Just as Cao Chendong was leaning over the steering wheel feeling sad, someone knocked on the car window.
It turned out to be a parking lot staff member. Seeing that he had been in the car for a long time and had not driven away, he came over to check. After all, they were all parking in the same parking lot, and it would be bad if something happened to someone here.
"Sir, are you okay?" The staff member asked worriedly after seeing him roll down the car window.
Cao Chendong wanted to maintain his usual cool demeanor, but with his face covered in snot and tears, he couldn't pretend anymore.
All he could say was, "It's okay, I'll be leaving soon!"
Just closed the car window.
He didn't waste any time and drove directly back to City S.
It is said that the best way to distract yourself is to find something to do.
Cao Chendong quickly returned to work and resumed his occasional drinking sessions with Zhou Yao and Qiao Heng. It seemed that he was no different from before.
In addition to his increasingly severe insomnia, he could only fall asleep under the influence of alcohol every day.
It seems that all single trios are like this.
But gradually, their drinking parties became just drinking parties, with no other opposite sexes appearing.
And each time I drink more and more.
The first person to suffer after drinking was Zhou Yao, because his ex-wife finally got married and gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, for her new husband.
His children with his ex-wife love these two younger siblings very much.
"That's a good thing!" Qiao Heng advised, "It means your child is doing well."
Zhou Yao downed another glass of wine and said tearfully, "They get along really well as a family, and they're emigrating! They probably won't come back. It's not that I can't visit them, but they're too far away. I can't see them whenever I want."
This man who had lived a carefree life for the first half of his life finally regretted his decision. He asked the two unlucky fellows around him, "Am I wrong? What should I do to go back to the way things were before?"
But Qiao Heng and Cao Chendong also wanted to ask this question, but no one could answer them.
After drinking that day, Cao Chendong returned home and just sat on the sofa when his mother started complaining seamlessly: "What's the point of raising you? You drink like this every day. What's the difference between you and your alcoholic father?
I told you to drink less, but you refused to listen and kept drinking! Sooner or later, something bad will happen! You are so old, can't you just give me some peace of mind..."
A barrage of words bombarded Cao Chendong. In a trance, he seemed to see "someone" handing him a hangover soup, and he had to pick up the "soup" and drink it up without thinking.
But Cao Ma stopped him: "You're going to die! What are you doing with the ashtray? The water in it is tobacco oil. Drinking it will kill you."
Unlike Tang Yingyue's lifestyle, Cao Ma thinks that there is no need to empty the ashtray if it is not full, and she is reluctant to use "ash crystal mud".
Cao Chendong has mentioned this several times. After all, once this volatile e-liquid is released into the air, it is actually no different from inhaling secondhand smoke.
But the old man is used to being frugal and won't listen to anything I say.
The living habits that Tang Yingyue brought to Cao Chendong over the years have improved his quality of life, but have also created great differences between him and his mother.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Cao Chendong, who was stopped, finally spoke out his heart under the influence of alcohol: "Mom, you should go back home! I will still send you money every month. Life here is not suitable for you!"
