Chapter 164 Tonight, I'm Not Going Back

I didn't go back in a hurry, but went back to the office to help Zhang Lan organize the materials together.

We worked overtime together until ten o'clock at night before sorting out the materials.

"Ah, my neck is about to break..."

Zhang Lan sighed wearily, and pinched his neck with some pain.

I walked over with a smile and put my hands on her shoulders to help her relieve her fatigue.

Zhang Lan is very hard. Although I am running the investment and financing, the copywriting, organization and overall planning are the most tiring.

Just entering those numbers is dazzling, let alone comparing whether they are correct or not, this is simply a tormenting thing.

Zhang Lan leaned in my arms enjoying himself, and said with a smile, "It's a good technique. If you lose your job in the future, you can open a massage shop. I will definitely take care of your business then."

I knocked her on the head once, and she immediately grinned at me because of the pain, very angry.

I said, "Say something auspicious, why should I lose my job?"

Zhang Lan rolled her eyes, then smiled, and she said, "I work so hard, you have to treat me to dinner?"

I checked the time, it was past ten o'clock, and the company cafeteria was closed.

I said, "Okay, let's go..."

Zhang Lan immediately packed up happily and left the company with me.

She drove me to the Huafeng Night Market. We went to the food stall, ordered a few bottles of beer, Coke, and some fried skewers for a simple supper.

I leaned on the chair, drank cold beer, and watched Zhang Lan enjoy eating "Flesh and Bone", she ate very boldly, like a hungry wolf who has been hungry for a long time.

I smiled, Zhang Lan is very real, she never hides or pretends, when I'm with her, I don't know why, I never feel tired.

Perhaps, with her, I don't need to be hypocritical, give scheming, let alone plot something.

That lightness made me feel relaxed.

Liao Siyuan and I can't do this kind of relaxation. Sometimes I feel very tired when I'm with Liao Siyuan. , For a certain overall situation, I have to be patient, restrained, and even sacrifice some kind of dignity in my own heart.

That sense of compulsion made me feel very painful.

At this time, I thought of Chen Zhengfei, what kind of environmental factors made such an outstanding man so awed by marriage.

Even though his other half had already cheated mentally, he still chose to forgive, endure, and even give in in a self-suppressive way.

Is marriage really the tomb of love?
I don't know if I will become the same as Chen Zhengfei after I marry Liao Siyuan.

Liao Siyuan is actually quite similar to Liao Jianhua in some respects.

If I marry her, I will become like Chen Zhengfei, that would be terrible.

My cell phone rang, and I saw that it was Liao Siyuan calling. I looked at the cell phone, and subconsciously asked me whether I should answer it or not.

I really want to be quiet...

Suddenly Zhang Lan teased and said, "Chagang, hurry up and pick it up, or you'll be in big trouble."

I saw Zhang Lan's teasing expression, and smiled helplessly. I stood up and walked to the side to answer the phone.

"Hey... what are you doing? It's already ten o'clock, why don't you come back?"

I heard Liao Siyuan asking angrily, and I suddenly felt a huge sense of unfreedom in my heart, as if I had been cast under a magic spell.

I have lived for nearly 30 years, and no one has ever asked me where I am and what I am doing in such a questioning tone. I am used to being free, and suddenly I feel a headache.

"Working overtime..."

Liao Siyuan said angrily: "What overtime is it? Come back quickly, something serious happened at home."

Liao Siyuan's words made me feel a strong sense of resistance.

I knew without thinking that Liao Jianhua must be making trouble at her house.

Although I knew it very well, I still put on a mask and asked her, "What happened?"

"What's the matter? Don't you know? Isn't it your good deed? My aunt is going to divorce my uncle. My aunt died tragically. She cried for a long time at home and didn't go to work in the afternoon. Her eyes are red from crying. You men Ah, I don't know how to feel sorry for a woman..."

Liao Siyuan's complaints made me feel very unreasonable. Why do we men not love women at all?
I couldn't help asking her: "Don't I love you?"

Liao Siyuan immediately said: "I didn't say anything about you, why are you making such a tone? What are you doing? Are you scolding me again? Yes, I did something wrong today, but haven't I already apologized? Why are you so stingy? Do you still hold grudges?"

Liao Siyuan's words shocked me a little. I never held grudges. I had forgiven her for the previous incident, but now she still took it out to label me.

I took a deep breath, I was silent, and I stopped talking, because, I knew very well that any word I said next would be the fuse of our quarrel.

I don't want to quarrel with her.

The silence made both of us embarrassed. After a while, Liao Siyuan said to me in a commanding tone: "I have to come back at 10:30. You can persuade my uncle to apologize to my aunt, and then Take my aunt back."

I didn't want to talk anymore, but Liao Siyuan's words really annoyed me.

I immediately asked her: "Why do you want your uncle to apologize? Shouldn't it be your aunt who did something wrong? Shouldn't you ask your aunt to apologize?"

"Wu Fei, what's the matter with you? The one on your end? How can you not help my aunt? You are too much, let me tell you, there is something wrong with your attitude, and my aunt is at fault, but, you men Should be more generous..."

I frowned. I felt that the three views between me and Liao Siyuan were a bit wrong. I immediately said, "I have to work overtime, so I can't go back today."

After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone and turned off the phone directly.

I smiled speechlessly, I always knew that the relationship between me and Liao Siyuan was based on family background, but I didn't expect that even the three views were so deviated.

I didn't say anything, just went back to my seat, picked up the cold beer, and drank it in big gulps.

At this time, Zhang Lan immediately packed up his things, wiped off the oil stains on his mouth, and said to me: "Let me call a driver for you, it's getting late, you should go back, talk to your girlfriend, women want to coax Yeah, don't lift the stick, you know?"

Zhang Lan said that she was going to take her mobile phone and call me a substitute driver, but I snatched her mobile phone away, and she looked at me in surprise, a little puzzled.

I looked at her surprised expression and said something involuntarily.

"Tonight, I won't go back..."
