The Colors You Adore Chapter 5

The parents of the Le family didn't say anything, but in their hearts they felt that Jasper Zhang's family was from a lower level. They picked out many of Jasper Zhang's shortcomings and refused to readily agree. This suddenly aroused Caiying's arrogance, saying that she had to get married. She had several cold wars with her family, and finally said that if you don't agree, I will go to study abroad. Caiying's parents have only had this one daughter for half their lives. If this daughter is really cruel and leaves, goes abroad, and marries someone other than a Chinese, and she won't come back if she doesn't come back, the situation will only be worse than the current situation. The old couple have worked hard all their lives. In vain. Parents have never been able to resist their daughter, so they had no choice but to agree.

On the day of their wedding, Jasper Zhang's parents cut two huge bamboos and put them on a Chang'an Xingka according to their local customs. They drove to the downstairs of Lejia and set off two thousand-ring firecrackers, which attracted people from both sides. The neighbors came to see it. Everyone was stunned by the two moso bamboos and started talking about how such long moso bamboos were transported into the city. There are many small lanterns hanging on the bamboo. They were tied one by one by Jasper Zhang's mother and sister-in-law. They are red and green, earthy and vulgar. There are also many local products on the car, such as "jiang legs", pickled herring, salted goose, wind rooster, cured pig's trotters, salted salted duck, several large baskets of bamboo shoots, and two baskets of rice cakes with red plum patterns.

Caiying's father looked at the pair of long moso bamboos and asked what they meant. Jasper Zhang's father said, it's called "long and long". These two moso bamboos were cut with his own hands on the bamboo mountain he packed. They were carefully selected and were the two longest and greenest ones on the entire mountain. The vehicle used to transport moso bamboo is a Changan vehicle, which means long-lasting peace. Although Caiying's mother found the gifts from her in-laws tacky, she was also moved by their sincerity. After the marriage, she became even more satisfied with Jasper Zhang's performance, and her title changed from Xiao Zhang to Xiao Hui.

Jasper Zhang thought of Caiying's parents at this time and didn't know how to inform them. He wiped Caiying's body and put on a clean hospital gown. It was dark outside the window again, and Caiying had no intention of waking up. Perhaps deep sleep is the best medical treatment for her. In her dream, she was still planning the future with Eliot Yan, laughing and playing. A thought flashed through Jasper Zhang's mind: Did Eliot Yan also propose a breakup to Mira Su, so Mira Su accepted it so calmly?

Jasper Zhang remembered what Mira Su said to him at the door of the car dealership in the afternoon. She said that my suffering is over, and yours has just begun. She knows that, right?

Caiying didn't seem to wake up for a while. Jasper Zhang went back to the hotel and took a shower, only to remember that he hadn't eaten all day. There is a seafood restaurant opposite the hotel. On an early autumn evening, it would be a good idea to go there and have a beer or two.

He walked up to the second floor of the restaurant and unexpectedly saw Mira Su sitting by the window. There were two dishes and a bottle of beer on her table, which she seemed to have already drank. He thought that since Mira Su was here, he should change his store. It's hard to say that two people of this status were eating in a cramped tavern without a trace of embarrassment. Just when he hesitated, Mira Su looked up, saw him, and bowed as a greeting. He had no choice but to return the favor.

Mira Su pointed to the seat opposite and said, "Let's go together." Since she didn't mind, there was no need for Jasper Zhang to pretend to be reserved. He said thank you and sat down opposite her.

Mira Su raised his hand to the bartender and said to add a set of dishes and chopsticks here. The bartender responded and placed a wine glass, bowl, chopsticks, spoon, hot towel for wiping his hands, and a recipe book. Jasper Zhang looked at the dishes on the table. There was a plate of salt-baked snails and a plate of raw crabs, but only one or two chopsticks were used. He flipped through the menu and asked Mira Su, can you eat spicy food? Mira Su nodded. Jasper Zhang then asked for another razor clam in soy sauce, a tofu fish with chopped pepper, a platter of peanuts and edamame, and a bottle of beer. The bartender said please wait, it will be ready soon.

Jasper Zhang wiped his hands with a towel, picked up the wine bottle on the table, filled Mira Su with wine first, and then his own wine glass. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's not say the toast. I'll do it first, you can do whatever you want." . "Drink it in one gulp."

Mira Su picked up the wine bottle and filled it for him, then suddenly asked, "How did they start?" Jasper Zhang was stunned and said, "I don't know. What about you, when did you know about it?" Mira Su took a sip of wine. , his eyes were a little scattered, he held his head with his hands and said, "Yesterday, when I was looking at the camera."

Jasper Zhang was stunned. He didn't expect that that moment was the first time Mira Su knew that her husband was having an affair. Her calmness and indifference impressed him deeply. She just pressed the playback button and looked at each picture one by one without her eyelids twitching. Looking at the intimate photo of her husband with another woman, she told Jasper Zhang that your wife has a very good temperament. She calmly accepted the fact that her husband was traveling with his lover and maintained the best etiquette.

Mira Su drank the wine in the glass, played with it, and asked, "Then when did you know about it?"

Jasper Zhang noticed that there were silver chips on the fingernails when she turned the wine glass. He thought it was a piece of fish scale, but then he realized that she had done a manicure. Before the accident, she might have been shopping, going shopping, chatting with friends, or getting her nails done, but she didn't expect that such an incident would happen in the blink of an eye. She might have to bid farewell to the leisurely state of the past. He didn't know what the family atmosphere was like in Eliot Yan's family and how he would treat his daughter-in-law.

His silence made Mira Su mistakenly think that he had offended him, so he said sorry, I was presumptuous. Jasper Zhang opened his mouth and was about to speak, when the bartender brought the wine and food and said, "please use it slowly." Jasper Zhang picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for Mira Su and said, "I've known it for a while."

Mira Su's eyes focused, looked at him, and asked: "Then what did you do? Or did you do nothing?"

Jasper Zhang peeled off an edamame and put it in his mouth. "I didn't do anything when I found out. When I did something, she had already decided to leave me." He said with a little maliciousness of vandalism: "Did you know that they planned to live together?"

Mira Su smiled. She straightened her back and let out a long breath: "I've been waiting for him to make this decision for...a year or two." She put away her smile and picked up her chopsticks to eat the tofu fish. The fish was stained with chopped peppercorns, and when she took a bite, she burst into tears. She closed her eyes, her features squeezed together, and tears burst out of her eyes.
