Chapter 163 Breakup
"Okay, here we are."
"Brother Chen Mo, come in and sit for a while."
"I won't go in. I have something to do later. Please say hello to my uncle and aunt for me. I will visit them another day."
"Okay, then Brother Chen Mo, please drive slowly."
"Okay, bye."
After Chen Mo watched Ning Zhihe go in, he called Ning Zhijian.
"Your sister has been safely delivered home."
"Okay, thanks."
Chen Mo asked, "How long will it take you to get there? Let's get the car back and I'll leave."
Ning Zhijian laughed, "Um... I suddenly remembered that I had something else to do, so I didn't go home..."
Chen Mo blinked. Why did this statement sound so familiar, as if he had just said the same thing to Ning Zhihe.
However, he said that because he didn't want to go in and disturb the rare family gathering, but Ning Zhijian obviously wanted to stand him up.
"What's going on? You were worried about your sister just now, but now you are not in a hurry to come back to see her?"
Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little curious, because he knew that Ning Zhijian was a bit of a sister complex.
Ning Zhijian said as a matter of course: "You are the one who will send her back, so why should I worry?"
After that, Ning Zhijian chuckled again and explained, "I'm going to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. I wanted to pick up my sister before going over, but since you're doing it for me, I came directly."
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly: "I remember you said a few days ago that you wanted to break up with your girlfriend after her birthday?"
"Yes." Ning Zhijian nodded. "Help her celebrate her birthday and break up with her at the same time. It will be quick."
"." Chen Mo shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not interested in your girlfriends."
"Hey, what do you mean by those?" Ning Zhijian said sternly, "I only talk to one person at a time, but each conversation is not long."
Chen Mo replied perfunctorily: "Yeah, I only talk to one person at a time, and the connection time is very fast."
Ning Zhijian didn't care. "I didn't look for multiple people at the same time. I always sorted them out before looking for the next one. There is nothing wrong with the procedure. I still abide by male ethics."
Chen Mo was too lazy to care about these, "Then how do we get our car back?"
"Just drive first."
Ning Zhijian was driving an Aston Martin Vantage. This car was obviously very recognizable, so Ning Zhihe got in the car without taking a closer look.
Chen Mo complained: "Your car only looks cool, but it's not very comfortable. The seats are so hard that my waist hurts when I sit on them."
No matter what performance a sports car has, it is useless in a big city except for showing off.
Not to mention the various traffic jams and speed limits, the engine roar is too loud and sometimes it is complained about disturbing the public. Nowadays, everyone can take a photo with their mobile phone and upload it to the Internet, so no one dares to be too ostentatious.
Recently, only Shanghai guys drive there to show off their wealth and presence, which is a rare thing that is "welcome" to the public.
On weekdays, the biggest function of a sports car is to attract girls to take photos.
This is also the purpose of Ning Zhijian buying a sports car, but he did not do it just to pick up girls, the main purpose was to give his own nightclub a good reputation.
As the hottest bar and nightclub in Shichahai, how could it not have a few luxury cars parked outside?
Ning Zhijian joked, "Are you sure it's because the seat is hard, and not because your girlfriend is leaving today and was worried that you would be alone at BJ, so she squeezed you dry last night."
"Bullshit, you think I'm you."
Chen Mo cursed angrily, but remembering that Hongdou was not as active and proactive as usual last night, he subconsciously rubbed his lower back.
Ning Zhijian laughed and didn't care. "Then I'll send you an address. You can drive over to exchange it. It's not far away."
"Row."
Chen Mo drove to a high-end restaurant according to the address sent by Ning Zhijian.
After entering, Chen Mo saw Ning Zhijian in a quiet position near the floor-to-ceiling window. Opposite to him sat a girl with a pretty face and a slim figure.
Ning Zhijian also saw Chen Mo and gave him a subtle look in return.
Since he was already here, Chen Mo found a seat nearby and sat down. The waiter brought the menu, and Chen Mo ordered the dishes without hesitation, since someone else was paying for it.
"Didn't you say you were going to pick up your sister and would be here late?" The girl's voice was soft and very pleasant to hear.
"Don't I miss you? How can I bear to let you wait so long?" Ning Zhijian said in a gentle voice, and spoke sweet words without hesitation.
"You're lying." The girl curled her lips, obviously not believing it.
Ning Zhijian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then I'll leave?"
The girl snorted softly, "When my best friend is angry, her boyfriend always kisses her to comfort her."
Ning Zhijian said: "I can do that too."
"Then kiss me now." The girl tilted her head slightly and pouted her pink lips.
Ning Zhijian was stunned, "Ah, aren't we talking about your best friend?"
"." The girl glared at him angrily, "You still want to kiss my best friend?"
Ning Zhijian had a wicked smile on his face, "Just kidding, your bestie is not as pretty as you, how could I be interested in her."
The girl looked suspicious, "Really?"
Ning Zhijian said sincerely, "Of course, if your best friend is prettier than you, I won't date you."
When Chen Mo, who was not far away, heard this, he remembered the bad man quotes Ning Zhijian had said before:
When you see a pretty girl, don’t rush to chase her. Look at her close friends first. Maybe there are better ones out there.
The girl was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she was very happy that she was the prettiest among her sisters.
"By the way, since you're going to pick up your sister, why don't you just take me to meet her?"
The girl asked casually, with some cautious hope in her eyes.
Ning Zhijian knew it well, but pretended not to know. She just smiled and said, "You are one year younger than my sister. When you met, you didn't know how to address each other."
"What's the big deal? She calls me sister-in-law and I call her sister. I don't mind." The girl narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"It's time to cut the cake."
Ning Zhijian changed the subject and raised his hand to signal the waiter not far away.
The moment Ning Zhijian turned his head, the girl's eyes dimmed a little, but soon returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
Soon, the waiter brought the cake with candles on it.
"Come on, make a wish."
"Ah."
The girl closed her eyes, made a wish, then opened her eyes and blew out the candle.
Ning Zhijian smiled and asked, "What wish did you make?"
The girl smiled and said, "I hope you love me and I hope I get rich."
"Wow, you are so selfish." Ning Zhijian pretended to tease, "Why don't you hope that I get rich and that you love me?"
The girl whispered, "Because you are already rich, and I already love you."
Ning Zhijian was stunned. Although he was eloquent, he was speechless for a moment.
Before he could say anything, the girl smiled and said, "But if you say your wish out loud, it won't come true, right?"
Ning Zhijian did not answer, but took out the gift he had prepared and said, "Be happy on your birthday and see if you like it." The girl smiled and nodded, took the gift, and said as she opened it, "After my birthday, I will be 22 years old, and it seems that I have reached the legal age for marriage."
Ning Zhijian corrected him, "The legal age for marriage for women is 20, and for men it's only 22."
The girl suddenly realized: "Really? But no one told me about it..."
Ning Zhijian didn't respond.
After unwrapping the gift, the girl opened it and instead of showing the surprised and happy expression she had imagined, she seemed a little silent.
Ning Zhijian saw this and asked, "Why, you don't like it?"
The girl shook her head. "I like it, but it's too expensive."
Inside the exquisite gift box, lies the key to an Audi A7.
Ning Zhijian smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you like it."
The girl hesitated for a while and said, "You have given me many gifts, but none as expensive as this one. You are not stupid because you have a lot of money. You suddenly gave me such an expensive gift. Either you have decided on me, or it is a breakup fee?"
Obviously, the girl also knew some of Ning Zhijian's past deeds.
Ning Zhijian did not deny it, but just said: "The car has been registered and is parked outside. You can drive away directly later."
In the capital, license plates are more valuable than the cars themselves.
Many people here can’t afford to drive a car, not because they don’t have the money to buy one, but because they can’t get a license plate number.
Just like Chen Nanxing before, he tried for several years but still couldn’t get a chance.
For this reason, Chen Nanxing once joked that "a Beijing license plate can be passed down from generation to generation."
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not an exaggeration. If an ordinary family wins a license plate, it really needs to be passed down, otherwise the children may not be able to win a license plate in the future.
But the girl didn't care about it at this time. She just lowered her head and asked, "Can you give me a reason?"
Ning Zhijian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe, I like you when you were 21."
The girl raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "I am only 22 years old now"
Ning Zhijian just sighed and said, "Yes, you are already twenty-two years old."
The girl bit her lips tightly to stop herself from crying.
"I hope I didn't leave you with a bad memory." Ning Zhijian stood up and prepared to leave.
"Ning Zhijian." The girl called out.
Under Ning Zhijian's surprised gaze, the girl pushed the car keys back.
"Are you sure?" Ning Zhijian reminded, "If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to find it again."
The girl ignored him and just continued, "I know you've dated many girls, and maybe I've fantasized like some of them, that I'd be the special one for you and could take a place in your heart."
[I thought my gentleness could give you the entire universe. I thought I could fill the gap in your feelings with all my strength, stay by your side wholeheartedly, and make up for all her mistakes...]
The girl raised her head, her eyes red, but she still showed a bright smile, "I know it's impossible, but I still can't help dreaming like this."
[Maybe I was too naive to think a miracle would happen...]
Ning Zhijian remained silent.
"For those people you dated before, you were the one who broke up with them, but I don't want to be like them."
The girl sniffed, her eyes full of stubbornness, "Ning Zhijian, remember, I was the one who broke up with you. I dumped you."
After saying that, the girl stood up, took her bag and left, leaving the car keys as a gift there.
[I thought I was strong enough, but I lost so hopelessly. Give me less hope, and hope will not be a luxury...]
Ning Zhijian watched the girl's back as she left. He sat alone for a long time, then he let out a long breath, stood up and sat down at Chen Mo's table.
Chen Mo ate heartily without even raising his head.
Ning Zhijian took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke, but the waiter came over and dissuaded him.
"Excuse me sir, smoking is not allowed in our restaurant."
Ning Zhijian put the cigarette away irritably.
Chen Mo raised his head and said, "He will also pay for my table later."
The waiter glanced at Ning Zhijian, who waved his hand.
"Okay, sir."
After the waiter left, Ning Zhijian asked, "Is it delicious?"
Chen Mo wiped his mouth and said, "It's free, so of course it's delicious."
Ning Zhijian lamented, "Brother, I just got dumped, and you don't even care?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Yeah, you deserve it."
Ning Zhijian yelled, "Hey, hey, hey, you help your relatives but not your husband, do you understand?"
Chen Mo shrugged, "After the little girl turned around, she was crying so hard that her eyes were wet with pear blossoms. I felt sorry for her."
"How can I not cry when my car is gone?" Ning Zhijian played with the car keys in his hand as if nothing had happened.
"You're just being stubborn." Chen Mo shook his head and warned, "Be careful, you might miss a good girl like this."
The melody that Chen Mo heard in his mind was, to some extent, also a kind of emotional exploration.
Ning Zhijian simply said: "Good girls should be thankful that they missed me."
Chen Mo suddenly asked, "You haven't forgotten her yet, have you?"
Ning Zhijian shook his head and said, "I forgot about it a long time ago."
Chen Mo glanced at it and said, "I haven't said who it is yet."
Ning Zhijian: “…”
Chen Mo suddenly became interested, "Is it true?"
Ning Zhijian looked at him as if he were a fool, "Do you think it's possible?"
Chen Mo was skeptical, "Then how come you know who I'm referring to as soon as I say it?"
Ning Zhijian said unhappily, "Nonsense, I just have that 'dark history', and since then I have been uninhibited and indulging myself in freedom."
Chen Mo nodded, "That's true, otherwise it would be a bit melodramatic. Don't let your sister act in a Korean drama, you should make a Chinese idol drama."
"You know what, your question just now made me seem quite affectionate." Ning Zhijian touched his chin and thought, "Maybe I can use this trick in reverse in the future, and my character will stand out immediately."
"Okay, you're already thinking about the future." Chen Mo looked at him with disdain, "Then why are you still pretending to be so profound when the girl left just now?"
"I'm just a playboy, not a heartless person." Ning Zhijian was also a little helpless. "If she takes the things and leaves, then I'll be at peace with myself. Who knows..."
Chen Mo continued: "Who would have thought that if you really met someone you really fell in love with, you would feel guilty instead?"
Ning Zhijian let out a breath, "I'm just a little annoyed."
Chen Mo shook his head. "Don't be like before. Don't regret it after you lose it."
Ning Zhijian waved his hand and said confidently, "Absolutely not!"
