Chapter 27 of Part II

  Old Zhang rushed over, and Ruan's face no longer showed any tears. As soon as he sat down, he exaggeratedly looked at Ruan and said, "Today I'm really lucky, two big beauties are accompanying me for dinner. Ruan, it's been many years since we last met, you're getting more and more beautiful and charming, making me regret not taking action back then. However, seeing that you're doing well, I can rest assured."

  Zheng Wei pointed at Old Zhang and said, "What are you worried about? Do you think you're Jia Baoyu? You haven't even eaten yet, but your mouth is already watering all over the place." Ruan Ruan just smiled.

  Old Zhang said with a mouthful of food, "Weiwei, you've lost more weight since I last saw you. A girl should have some flesh on her bones, it's comfortable to hug."

  "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." Zheng gave him a cold glance.

  There was Old Zhang in the middle making jokes and time passed quickly. Ruan looked at her watch, "I think I should head back first, or you all can continue chatting, I'll take my leave?"

  Zheng Wei said, "Oh yeah, you still have a train to catch tomorrow, I'll go with you. Old Zhang, you can continue your revelry."

  "This won't do..." Old Zhang also stood up, "I'll send you back."

  "You've had a drink, can you still drive?" Zheng Wei expressed doubt.

  Old Zhang laughed, "I'm still far from getting drunk. Don't be polite to me, being polite to me is not treating me as a human being."

  Zheng Wei didn't mind, Ruan Ruan wasn't being pretentious either, her foot injury had just recovered and she hadn't driven herself.

  When going downstairs, Old Zhang also found that Ruan Ruan's movements were still a bit inconvenient, so he asked about the situation. Ruan Ruan truthfully said that she had fallen at home, and Old Zhang's sympathetic expression made Zheng smile for a long time.

  "If I were to bring such a good woman back home, I would have to hold her in my hands every day. Even if it means getting hurt, I'd rather be the human cushion and not let you get bruised."

  Ruan Ruan said, "Then you should hurry up and find one too, there are plenty of good women in the world."

  Old Zhang said with a smile: "Once a man has seen a rose, all other women are just wildflowers. By the way, Ruan Ruan, what time is your train tomorrow? I'll send you off."

  "No need, no need, why bother? I'll just hail a taxi downstairs."

  Lao Zhang took out the car and first sent Ruan Ruan back home along the way, then drove Zheng Wei to her dormitory building.

  Before Zheng Wei got off the car, Old Zhang turned off the fire and said casually: "Some time ago, I met Ah Zheng at a bidding meeting and just knew that you are now working in the same place, which is quite embarrassing. That day, I invited him to drink and congratulated him on his promotion, but he got drunk. You know him, he always puts everything in his heart and has high demands for himself. There are not many people who can make him feel so bad."

  Zheng Wei didn't want to hear it, "Don't tell me this, it's boring."

  "To be honest, I've been watching you two all along. Ah Zheng and you are both old Zhang's friends. I don't want to interfere or force anything, but seeing a friend unhappy makes me feel uneasy. I heard you found someone new, that guy is from the prosecutor's office? Sigh... if I were to say something, just settle down quickly if it's good for you. A woman's most important thing is to have a good home, if you're doing well and get married, then you can also cut off any lingering thoughts."

  Zheng Wei sneered, "What one can't get is what one will think about, but even if it's delivered to his doorstep, he may not necessarily want it. With wealth and power in hand, occasionally sighing over past regrets, some people only want the thought of it."

  "Don't be annoyed, that day he got drunk and I advised him like this. Men, who don't have an unforgettable first love? Guess what he said, with unclear speech, he said it wasn't his first love, but his last love. It took me a while to understand, you say someone as proud as him ended up like this, isn't that a sin?"

  Zheng Wei wiped his face, "Old Zhang, the air conditioning in your car is too cold. I'm getting off, you drive back carefully, don't drink so much, or you'll die unmarried. Old Zhang burst out laughing: "If someone like me gets married, it's a waste of heaven's gift! Go back, let's eat together next time."
