Fall in a second

Chapter 117 Happy Birthday

After Wang Yi came to find Meng Xiaofei that time, she went back to her hometown by car. Looking at her circle of friends, it seemed that she had really gone on a blind date. Meng Xiaofei couldn't comment on her life choices. Judge each other.

Just ten days after the court decided to divorce, Meng Xiaofei had an extra remittance in his account, no more, no less, exactly 70 yuan, which seemed to be the same as her calculation.

According to the plan, 50 yuan will be used to buy stable financial products from the bank, and the remaining 20 yuan will be kept on hand as current funds. In the future, a series of things such as prenatal checkups and births will cost money, and no one will bear these with her. Yes, after all, the child in her womb was born by her own choice, and has nothing to do with anyone, so Meng Xiaofei gritted his teeth and would raise her well.

12.24, Christmas Eve.

Meng Xiaofei and Ji Youqing went to the food stall outside to have dinner, Ji Youqing had already eaten, so most of them just sat down, ate fruit, drank tea and had dinner with Meng Xiaofei.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, there were many people at the steaming food stall. The two of them had special bodies, so they chose to sit in the shop to eat. The surroundings were full of people, and there was a lot of voices, so it was very lively.

Because she was pregnant and couldn't drink alcohol, Meng Xiaofei drank soda instead.

"Remembering that time when I drank a glass of red wine because of my emotional breakdown, I felt particularly guilty. Later, when I went to the hospital, I asked the doctor. The doctor said it was okay and only had one glass. Don't be too nervous. Just don't drink any more later."

"You still drink when you're pregnant." Ji Youqing asked.

"Isn't it that night that I knew the truth and couldn't stand it, and at that time I was already planning to have an abortion, so I just broke the can, but I didn't drink too much at that time, I only drank a glass of red wine, maybe I still had Feeling guilty, restrain yourself."

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you, Lao Ji." Meng Xiaofei smiled at her while holding a cup.

"Talk about me, what about me." Ji Youqing looked puzzled and at a loss.

"Hey, hey, today is Christmas Eve, don't you know what day is tomorrow?"

Ji Youqing smiled helplessly: "Birthdays are celebrated every year, nothing special."

"That's different. There is an extra protagonist this year. I'm starting to wonder what kind of birthday present Lu Ming will prepare for you." Meng Xiaofei smirked.

Ji Youqing bowed his head and smiled slightly, pretending not to care.

After dinner, Ji Youqing went back and took Meng Xiaofei to the entrance of the community to get off the car. Meng Xiaofei waved her and walked in. Ever since she got divorced and moved out, this kind of people like to meet friends when they want to see friends, go shopping when they want to go shopping, want to The days when I can go back whenever I want are really free and beautiful.

When he came to the unit building, Meng Xiaofei stopped and felt that something was wrong, but this feeling couldn't be explained. To be on the safe side, it's better to go upstairs quickly. At this time, the footsteps behind became more obvious, and Meng Xiaofei's heart began to thump The thump accelerated, and he rushed up to the sixth floor in one breath, but at this moment his hands began to tremble. He searched for the key for a long time, and opened the door for a long time. Finally, he entered the door and locked it without saying a word.

Meng Xiaofei had a big man with a full forehead, his breathing was short of breath, and his chest heaved violently up and down.

At this time, the footsteps stopped at her door, as if she was hesitating, but now Meng Xiaofei was standing behind the door but couldn't see anything. She swore that she would find someone to change the door tomorrow. electronic eye.

When it became quiet, Meng Xiaofei walked in, but just a few steps away, there was a knock on the door, which startled her.

"Who, who?" Meng Xiaofei summoned up his courage to ask.

"Bang bang bang bang, bang bang bang!" The knock on the door continued.

Meng Xiaofei suddenly became a little angry, walked to the door and shouted loudly: "If you don't tell me who you are, I won't open the door for you, and if you knock on the door again, I will call the police."

As soon as these words came out, the knocking on the door stopped, and the next second a woman's voice came through the door.

"Xiao Fei, open the door, it's me, Xiao Fei, please open the door."

Zhang Lan was stunned. Isn't this... the voice of her ex-mother-in-law?How did she come, and how did she know where she lived.

At first Meng Xiaofei was repulsive and a little unwilling to open the door.

"I've already divorced your son, and I have nothing to do with your Zeng family. Why do you come to me?"

"Xiaofei, just let me see you. I have something to tell you." Zhang Lan's begging tone at the door made people feel a little pitiful.

Because he didn't want her to keep pestering her, and didn't want to disturb the neighbors upstairs and downstairs at night, Meng Xiaofei still opened the door for her, and said with a blank expression: "If you have anything to do, let's talk after you come in."

Zhang Lan carried all kinds of mother and baby supplies in her hand, and began to look at Meng Xiaofei's residence from the moment she entered the door, and then sat on the sofa in the living room under Meng Xiaofei's reminder. Out of politeness, Meng Xiaofei still poured a glass of water for the old man, and then sat down. In the seat some distance from her.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"You said, what's the trouble with your child? Don't you feel wronged to live in such a place alone with your child?"

"I think I'm fine now, better than before." Meng Xiaofei replied with a slight smile.

"I know, our Zeng family was sorry for you before, so I'm here to apologize to you." Zhang Lan bowed her head to apologize to Meng Xiaofei very sincerely, which surprised Meng Xiaofei, isn't this old lady always very proud and never bows her head?Such a sudden move made her a little panicked.

Meng Xiaofei didn't accept her apology directly, but instead asked her: "If you came to apologize for your son today, I accept it, can you leave?"

"No, no, actually, I have other things to say." Zhang Lan didn't want to leave, "I know you have resentment, but it will be very difficult for a woman to bring up children in this society. Don't look at it. I am always shouting at you, but I also treat you as my daughter from the bottom of my heart. I know that my son has no money now. Over the years, I have also saved a small coffers to raise a child. It's no problem, and we can send him to study abroad in the future, because after all, he is your child, and our relatives from the Zeng family will not gossip."

Seeing her whispering these words, Meng Xiaofei finally understood that he was here to ask her to have a child.

"You want me to give birth to a child for you to raise?"

Zhang Lan nodded: "That's what it means, I still don't want our Zeng family to have no offspring."

"Your son is so powerful, you can let him give birth, or find a surrogate." Meng Xiaofei mocked.

"Look, you're still angry. My old lady knelt down for you today." Zhang Lan was about to kneel down for her.

Meng Xiaofei hurried to stop her, "Don't, don't, please don't, I don't want to lose my life."

"I really want this child, so just give him to me, will it work?" Zhang Lan half-kneeled, with tears in her eyes.

Meng Xiaofei remained unmoved, and said: "Now this child is not a flesh and blood of your Zeng family, even if it is, I will not give it to you."

Hearing this, Zhang Lan completely let go, and said everything, while crying until Meng Xiaofei, who was sitting indifferent for a while, looked like a bad person.

"After you divorced, my son broke up with that man, and that man took all his money away."

"What does it have to do with me?" Meng Xiaofei sneered.

"My son went to the hospital and was found to have AIDS. He also contracted it when he was with that man. I don't know how long it has been. So Xiao Fei, I beg you, I really need you as a child, please take care of me. Let him give it to me, okay, okay."

I don't know why, when the old lady said that Zeng Yuming was infected with AIDS, she was a little happy, but she held back and didn't laugh.

Meng Xiaofei ruthlessly pushed away the other party's hand on his arm, and said, "The child in my stomach is not something, it's not something you want if you say you want it, please go out, I'm going to rest."

"I can give you money, really, I will give you as much as you want, and you can give me the child."

"Even if you give me all your pension funds, I won't give you the child, so just give up." Meng Xiaofei said while driving Zhang Lan out of the house.

Zhang Lan stepped back and begged for mercy: "One day husband and wife, one hundred days of grace, even if you don't look at it for my sake, but for my son's sake, please think about it, think about it, okay, you and my son have been together for so many years , even if he did something that I'm sorry for you, you must have had feelings for him, and you can't bear to see our Zeng family lose all children and grandchildren!"

With all his strength, Meng Xiaofei pushed Zhang Lan out of the door, then raised his head and told her: "I broke up with Zeng Yuming, and the fate is over. I will raise this child by myself. No matter how hard I suffer Don't be afraid, so please give yourself some dignity and don't come to me again, because next time, I won't treat you so politely."

After finishing speaking, Meng Xiaofei closed the door and locked it behind her back, no matter how pitifully Zhang Lan was crying outside the door, she remained indifferent.

It can be said that Zeng Yuming's current results are all caused by him, and he can't blame others.

He also hurt two innocent women invisibly, one was his own mother and the other was Meng Xiaofei.

Let this matter come to an end. From now on, Meng Xiaofei doesn't want to see anyone or anything about their family.

She is about to start a new life of her own.

The next day, 12.25, was Christmas and Ji Yuqing's birthday.

Ji Youqing actually loved birthdays when she was a child, because she would receive gifts from her parents and sister, and she could "do whatever she wanted" on her birthday, because adults would satisfy you whatever you asked for, so she liked birthdays very much.

All the changes started from the day her parents passed away. From then on, Ji Youqing never wanted to celebrate her birthday, because there was only her and her sister left, without the excitement, and also without the love and blessings of her parents.

But my sister still tirelessly prepares for her birthday every year, but I never thought that last year's birthday was actually the last birthday my sister celebrated for herself.

Ji Youqing doesn't plan to celebrate her birthday this year, and she doesn't plan to celebrate it again in the future. Even the closest people can't be around, so what's the point of celebrating her birthday.

So on this day, as usual, she packed up and went out to the company.

"Hello, Mr. Ji!"

"Happy birthday, Mr. Ji!"

Ji Yuqing nodded and walked by, overheard this sentence, turned around and asked curiously: "Who told you?"

"Sister Xia Yi."

On the way to her office, Ji Youqing received many birthday wishes from many employees, and some even prepared gifts for her, which made her a little flattered.

Then she called Xia Yi into the office, and asked her in a tone that seemed to be a reproach but was not a reproach: "Why did you tell everyone about my birthday today?"

"Because... birthdays are all about receiving everyone's blessings. Sister, don't you even criticize me for this?"

Ji Youqing pursed her lips and looked down at the documents: "Don't do this next time."

Xia Yi stuck out her tongue, "Got it, sister, do you have any plans for tonight?"

Ji Youqing looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let's all play a game together and have a meal."

"No need." Ji Youqing refused straight away, "I want to rest early at night."

"Okay then, I'll go out and do some work first." Xia Yi went out with her head drooping, while lowering her head to send a message to Lu Ming. Plan A failed, so plan B was implemented.

For Aunt Ji's birthday this time, Lu Ming made a lot of preparations, but she was still a little guilty. She had started saving money as early as the day she knew about it. Last night was Thursday on Christmas Eve. Lu Ming Counting all the money in the account, including the cash that has not been deposited in the future, there is a total of 3845 yuan. This money has not been touched since the day she started working, and it is also the first time she has earned it on her own. Got so much money.

Regarding the birthday gift for Aunt Ji, in fact, Luming has been brewing for a long time. She wants to let Aunt Ji have a unique birthday, a birthday that will never be forgotten.

Regarding the location of the birthday celebration, Luming also struggled for a long time. Finally, after much deliberation, he decided on the coffee shop where he worked part-time on weekdays. After communicating with the store manager, the store manager readily agreed Yes, Lu Ming was a little surprised, because she thought it would take a while to get used to it, but there might not be such a good result.

And the person who cooperates with her internally and externally is Miss Xia Yi, and plan A is for her to help Aunt Yue Ji come out, but if plan A doesn't work, then plan B can only be implemented.

After the last class in the afternoon, Lu Ming immediately rushed back to the dormitory, took a shower and washed his hair, and he instantly became much more energetic and fragrant.

Then I took my mobile phone and bag and rushed to the coffee shop to make a series of arrangements and preparations for the evening.

Plan B needs the cooperation of Aunt Meng, because if sister Xia Yi gets involved again, it will arouse suspicion.

Eight o'clock in the evening was the planned time, so Lu Ming had to hurry up and prepare the layout. Even the store manager Li Huiqing joined in to help, which made Lu Ming very grateful, and kept saying that she and the store were causing trouble, Li Hui Qing smiled and said no.

After all, in Li Huiqing's eyes, celebrating their boss's birthday and occupying the store's space and time is not considered troublesome, right?

Li Huiqing not only participated in helping out by herself, but also asked the idle employees in the store to help too. Of course, she also confessed in private that today is the boss's birthday. Except for Yan Chu and Lu Ming, everyone in the store knew about it. matter.

"Ah Ming, you have prepared so much, Aunt Ji will be very touched by this birthday." Yan Chu said as he placed flowers.

Lu Ming smiled brilliantly, "I hope so."

Meng Xiaofei has already rushed over, the time is close to eight o'clock, seeing that everyone's arrangement is almost done, he hurriedly asked: "How are the preparations going, the time is coming soon."

Lu Ming was a little nervous: "Aunt Meng, it's almost healed."

"Okay, then it's up to me."

Meng Xiaofei picked up his mobile phone and called Ji Youqing. Ji Youqing, who was still working overtime in the company at this time, frowned immediately after receiving the call.

"What are you talking about?"

Meng Xiaofei made up the story as if it was true, and he was full of emotions: "It's like this, isn't Yan Chu also working here? The guest is gone, Lu Ming is now injured and bleeding a lot."

"I'll be there right away." Ji Youqing hung up the phone without saying a word.

Meng Xiaofei stuck out his tongue triumphantly when he turned his head.

Lu Ming felt guilty, "Is it really okay for us to lie to Aunt Ji like this?"

"No way, this is the fastest way to get her here, and it proves from another aspect that she has you in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't be so anxious to hang up my phone and rush over here, okay, hurry up Go get ready."

After 15 minutes, Ji Youqing drove to the coffee shop. After getting out of the car, she accelerated her pace all the way to the front of the shop. Everything was unexpectedly calm. She gradually slowed down. What's going on in the shop?

There was no emergency described on the phone at all, no troublesome customers, no broken beer bottles, and no silhouette of Lu Ming. Ji Youqing was a little confused, and from the outside, today's store is a little different from the past, although Today is Christmas, some basic festive decorations will be there, but...

Ji Youqing raised his foot and walked in, but the clerk in the store was not there, which was really strange. Looking around, the store was decorated with balloons, flowers, Santa Claus, ribbons, etc. It was a strong festive atmosphere and very festive.

At this time, Ji Youqing accidentally saw a box with his name written on it on a table near the door. Is it in my sister's photo album? Why did it appear here? Similarly, there is a small note in it, which reads: "Happy first birthday!"

In addition, there is also a small gift attached, which is the silver pendant of Ji Youqing's zodiac.

Going forward, there are her second birthday gifts one by one, the same note: "Happy second birthday!"

From one year old to her 34 years old, there are 34 small gifts, although none of them are very valuable, but they are very thoughtful gifts. Ji Youqing is a little curious, who made these, she seems to have guessed in her heart Answer.

Just after she read the four birthday gifts of No.30 and the note with happy 34th birthday, Lu Ming came out, holding the cake in her hand, and said to herself, "Aunt Ji, happy birthday."

Ji Youqing was surprised, but soon regained his composure, because it was Lu Ming who did it, so it was not surprising at all.

"I guessed it was you." Ji Yuqing paused and asked again: "Why are you making such a fuss? It's really worrying."

"You refused to come because you were afraid of Aunt Ji..." Lu Ming lowered her head and turned her face away.

Ji Youqing pursed her lips and smiled after hearing this: "This birthday gift is really special, thank you."

Lu Ming was greatly encouraged all of a sudden, and immediately raised her head and said what she had been thinking about for a long time: "Aunt Ji, I know that the gifts I gave you may not be that valuable, but I chose every gift with my heart. , I hope you like it, because I have no choice but to have the opportunity to accompany you through the previous 33 years, so I will make up for it today. From now on, I want to participate in Aunt Ji's future life."

After Lu Ming finished speaking, she blushed and lowered her head, her heart pounding.

At this moment, the employees hiding inside were a little curious and began to whisper.

"Is this celebrating a birthday? Why does it sound like I'm confessing my love?"

"Shh, don't make a sound."

"..."

It would be a lie to say that she was not moved. No one has ever done this for Ji Youqing. She didn't know what to say, and she seemed to be at a loss for words for a moment. This girl really put her heart into it.

Seeing that Aunt Ji didn't speak, Lu Ming held the cake and said with a smile, "Aunt Ji, blow out the candles and make a wish."

This sentence was like a secret signal, the lights in the store went out instantly, and everyone came out together and started singing birthday songs.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Seeing so many people rushing out at once, Ji Youqing was a little helpless, but she was more surprised and moved, because originally, she didn't plan to celebrate her birthday anymore.

"Hurry up and blow out the candles and make a wish. You have to think about it on your 34th birthday." Meng Xiaofei booed from the side, implying something.

Ji Youqing clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, silently saying in her heart: "I hope you are happy."

Then he opened his eyes and blew out the candles, and the lights in the store were lit up again. Only then did Ji Youqing see the people in the store clearly. It turned out that Xia Yi and Xie Xuan had also come. Looking around, only the figure of her sister was missing. It is regrettable.

"Old Ji, I'm so envious of you, 34 birthday presents, if someone gives me that, I'm going to marry her!" Meng Xiaofei smiled deliberately.

I don't know why, after hearing this sentence, Yan Chu can't help but look up at Aunt Meng.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Aunt Ji, let's cut the cake." Lu Ming took the initiative to hand her the tools, feeling so shy that she didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

Let's not think about the result for now, at least for now, Aunt Ji seems to have accepted her birthday present, and she is still very happy, that's enough.
