Beautiful mother and pretty daughter (41-45)

41.
Upon arrival, I rushed to the glass door and eagerly pressed the call bell on the access control machine, but the door did not open and no sound came from inside.
I panicked even more, pounding on the glass door while shouting, "Minting, Minting, Cui Minting..."
There was no response, and the door remained closed. I took out my phone and dialed Cui Minting's number, but although the call connected, no one answered.
An ominous premonition washed over me. Had that man already gone inside, and what had happened to Cui Minting, while he was hiding there? Or perhaps, Cui Minting was already under that man's control and unable to respond to me.
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I pressed the call button again for a while and dialed Cui Minting's cell phone again, but everything remained the same. I decided to go downstairs to find the security guard, check the surveillance footage, and then make a decision.
As I was taking the elevator downstairs, my phone rang. I saw it was Cui Minting calling, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are you? What are you doing?" I shouted as soon as the call connected.
"I...I was taking a shower just now, so I couldn't answer the phone or open the door for you," Cui Minting stammered, like a child who had done something wrong.
"I'll be right back," I said, and hung up the phone.
At that moment, I realized that my legs were a little weak from the fright I had just experienced.
Back in Cui Minting's office, she had changed into a pink short bathrobe, and her hair was still damp, making her look like she had just taken a shower.
I pulled her into my arms and murmured, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine! What's wrong, Haoyan?" she asked from my arms.
I put my hands on her shoulders and asked, "Was a food delivery person just here?"
“Yes! He got the floor wrong, and left after figuring it out.” Cui Minting looked at me, somewhat puzzled, and said, “What happened?”
I was finally relieved and took my hand off her shoulder. I told her about the robbery and murder that happened not long ago when a criminal impersonated a food delivery driver.
She chuckled. "Aren't you being way too paranoid?"
I patted her arm and said, "It's good that you're alright. You should get some rest."
After I finished speaking and turned to leave, she called out to me from behind, "Haoyan..."
I stopped, but didn't turn around. She said, "Are you worried about me?"
“You’re my friend, of course I’m worried about you,” I said, and was about to take a step when she grabbed me.
The moment I turned around, she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. In that instant, all the preconceived notions I had set for myself crumbled, and we kissed deeply.
I held her tightly around the waist, and she wrapped her arms around my neck. We kissed passionately, our breath swirling in our mouths. As we parted, I blurted out, "I love you!"
Yes, I love her. From the moment I started worrying about her, I realized that I had actually fallen in love with her a long time ago. But out of pride, or more accurately, a sense of inferiority, I was unwilling to admit it, so I forced myself to keep avoiding this feeling between us.
At this moment, I told myself, to hell with class distinctions, to hell with the gap between rich and poor. Even if it's just a dream, I'll immerse myself in it and deal with the rest later.
Cui Minting smiled, gazed at me affectionately, and whispered, "I love you too."
I kissed her again. We kissed passionately once more, then I picked her up and carried her to the bedroom inside the office.
On the bed in the bedroom, Cui Minting and I embraced naked, passionately kissing and caressing each other. I took turns sucking on her two nipples, my lips gradually moving downwards to between her beautiful legs.
"Haoyan, no..." she said shyly.
I remembered Zhao Jianguo saying that she used to never let him kiss her there. I smiled slightly, parted her beautiful legs, and lowered my lips to hers…
As I pressed against her, she whispered in my ear, "Haoyan, I love you. Do you love me?"
"Yes, I love you," I replied.
We poured out our love to each other, kissing passionately. My erection intensified, until I brought her to climax...
"Chen Haoyan, you're a complete idiot, the biggest idiot in the world."
After the tide receded, Cui Minting nestled in my arms, crying and hitting me.
I hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, it was all my fault before."
She wiped away her tears and smiled, "Luckily, you're not so stupid as to be beyond help."
We smiled at each other. She said, "You know what? The story actually ended with the man not having a wife, and the noblewoman not leaving him. They lived happily ever after in the castle. But there weren't any young and pretty maids. Don't get your hopes up."
We smiled at each other again. After a moment of silence, I said, "Let's not let your family know about our situation for now, especially your brother. After all, Jiang Meiyun and I aren't divorced yet, and you and Zhao Jianguo have only been divorced for two months."
"Hmm..." she nodded in response, then added with a playful smile, "But I won't keep you hidden away for long."
I told her, "I will divorce Jiang Meiyun as soon as possible, don't worry."
"Okay, sure," she said with a smile, looking at me with affection.
That night, we made love again before falling asleep in each other's arms. At seven in the morning, Cui Minting woke me up. Still half-asleep, I asked, "What?"
She laughed and said, "Go take a shower and hurry up!"
I said, "Are you kicking me out so early?"
"We start work at 8:30 here. When everyone arrives and sees you and me here, they'll guess we're spending the night together. How embarrassing would that be!"
"Okay!" I laughed, hugging her. "How about we do it one more time before you go?"
"Oh, come on! Go take a shower." She said with a shy laugh as she pushed me away.
"Let's shower together then." Without waiting for a reply, I swept her into my arms and carried her into the bathroom amidst her giggles...
I brought up divorce with Jiang Meiyun again, and threatened her with the recording of Cui Minting. She was a woman after all, so she had no choice but to agree.
I left her the bigger house, and most of our savings and car also went to her. I've done more than enough for her.
After completing the formalities and leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau that day, Jiang Meiyun said resentfully, "Chen Haoyan, I won't let you and Cui Minting get away with this. You just wait."
Watching her departing figure, I couldn't help but sigh. Our relationship of over twelve years and our marriage of over eleven years had actually come to this.
Back at my place, Cui Minting was waiting for me. She smiled and asked, "All done?"
"Yes, it's done."
We smiled at each other, kissed, and then went to bed to be intimate and inseparable.
After I ejaculated, I hugged her and said, "My place is too small and the conditions are poor. I'm sorry to have made you suffer."
Cui Minting's parents have been living in Shenzhen for the past few months, helping their daughter take care of Bao'er. Zhao Bingjie also came to Shenzhen after her winter vacation started.
So we can't go to her villa, and besides, I don't want to go there. We also don't want to go to a hotel. So, my little house has become our temporary haven.
She nestled in my arms and said, "Why do you say such things? As long as I'm with you, no matter where we are, whether it's a castle or a small room, I feel so happy."
I said emotionally, "Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."
We lay in bed chatting for a while, then got up to cook. I said, "You rest, I'll do it."
Cui Minting replied, "I'd rather take care of you than have you take care of me."
她做了两菜一汤，看上去蛮精致的，味道也不错。我笑道：“想不到你一个富家女，还是个女强人，居然这么会做饭。”
她笑道：“你也太小看我了吧？我好歹是个女人，还是两个孩子的母亲，宝儿也是我带大的。”
吃完饭又呆了一会儿，我送崔敏婷回家。车开到她家别墅的附近，我们道别后，却又情不自禁地拥吻在一起。
热吻的间隙中，她笑道：“真的好不想跟你分开。”
我说道：“我也是。”
正当我们难舍难分之时，我们都没有想到，赵冰洁正在车头前，通过前挡风玻璃怔怔地看着温柔缠绵的我们。
那晚她和两个家也住在深圳的女同学在外面吃饭、看电影。完了后打车回到小区，她没有让出租车开进来，而是从小区门口步行回家。
快到家时，她看见有一辆车停在别墅附近，本来没有多想，路过车头时不经意地往里看了一眼。在路灯的照耀下，正好看到我搂着她妈妈接吻，一下给呆住了。
我回到家画了会儿画，接到崔敏婷打来的电话。
“浩言，冰洁跟你联系过吗？”她的声音显得有些焦急。
“没有啊！怎么啦？”我问道。
“这孩子，不知道怎么回事？这么晚了还没回家，手机也打不通，急死人了。”
“兴许是没电了吧？她说过今晚上哪去吗？”
“说是跟两个同学看电影去了……”
“她会不会去了她爸爸那里？”
“没有，我打电话问过赵建国了，没在他那儿，也没跟他联系过。”
我想了想，说道：“这样吧？我开车出去找她。”
“这么大的深圳，又这么晚了，你上哪找去？等于是大海捞针。算了，等着吧！如果她有跟你联系，你马上通知我。”
“行，没问题。”
跟崔敏婷通完话以后，我在心里寻思，小丫头上哪去了呢？
我一直觉得，她本来就有点忧郁，自打她爸妈的事闹出来以后，就更忧郁了。今晚她失联了，可千万别出什么事？
正胡思乱想、惴惴不安着，门铃响了起来。我挺纳闷的，这里除了江美云、崔敏婷，不会再有别的人来找我，而崔敏婷刚跟我通过话，肯定不会是她。至于江美云，我今天才跟她把婚离了，她就算想找我闹，也不会这么快。
我猛然一想，难道是她？走过去从猫眼往外一看，果不其然，只见赵冰洁正站在门外。

42、
“冰洁？”打开门以后，我惊讶地问道，并把赵冰洁让进了屋里。
她穿着一件雪青色的修身连衣及膝短裙，身上斜挎着一个小包，本就高挑的身材更显高挑婀娜。
来到客厅兼画室，我又问道：“冰洁，怎么这么晚了还不回家？手机也打不通，你妈妈很担心你。”
“为什么是我妈妈？”小丫头看着我问道。
我莫名其妙地笑道：“因为她是你妈妈啊！不该担心你吗？”
“我是说，为什么你的女人是我妈妈？”她盯着我，目光中满含幽怨。
我在心里“咯噔”了一下，似笑非笑地问道：“冰洁，你怎么啦？”
“我都看到了，今晚你和妈妈，在车上亲热……”
我暗道不妙，今晚和崔敏婷在车上的情形，难道都被小丫头看到了？
“冰、冰洁，这个……”我欲言又止，因为我不知道该怎么跟小丫头解释这件事情。
“你爱她吗？”赵冰洁盯着我的眼中，已溢满了泪水。
我决定对她如实相告，点头说道：“嗯，是的。”
她流下了眼泪，我的心一下乱了。一直以来，我都能感觉到她喜欢我，无论这种喜欢中参杂了多少学生对老师的崇拜、孤寂少女对关心她的成熟男性的依赖，说实话作为一个男人，有这样一个容貌和身材都很出众的少女喜欢自己，绝对是一件值得沾沾自喜的事。
可此时我却感到彷徨和不安，她毕竟是崔敏婷的女儿，那个正和我相爱的女人的女儿。和母女俩都发生感情纠葛，并不是我希望看到的情形。
“冰洁……”我说道，“你是我最喜欢的学生，也是我作为叔叔很喜欢的朋友的女儿……”
赵冰洁打断了我，用那双泪眼盯着我，“你和我妈妈在一起多久了？你是因为我爸爸和美云阿姨的事，所以和她在一起的吗？你们大人是不是都这么脏？”
她说着又流下了眼泪。我说道：“绝对不是你想的这样。我和你妈妈，是在她跟你爸爸离婚后，才开始的。”
“真的吗？”她擦拭着泪水问道。
我郑重地点了点头，又说道：“冰洁，你作为学生对我这个老师的崇敬，作为晚辈对我这个长辈的依赖，对此我很感激。可能我在跟你相处的过程中，也让你产生了一些误解……”
她又一次打断我，“你教我画画，教得那么用心，你给我讲美术史，听得我入迷，你呵护我，逗我开心，看到有人纠缠我就上来保护我。还有，在我看来，你是我见过的最帅的男人……”
在我怔怔的注视中，她用手背擦拭源源不断流下来的眼泪，良久才说道：“可是我并没有误解你，也请你……”
她哽咽了一下，“别误解我，我从来都只拿你当我的老师。”
尽管我知道她没有说实话，还是稍稍地松了一口气。
赵冰洁收住泪，继续说道：“我只是一时无法接受你俩在一起的事实，妈妈是我最爱的人，你是我最喜欢的老师，可是……”
她含泪看了一眼别处，又看向我，“我希望你好好对妈妈，别像爸爸那样欺骗她、伤害她。”
我盯着她，再次郑重地点头，“我发誓，我会的。”
她的那双泪眼深深地看了我一眼，转身往外走。我连忙叫住她，“你等等，我送你回去。”
就在这时，崔敏婷打了过来。我按下接听键，“敏婷……”
“浩言，你有冰洁的消息了吗？”崔敏婷的声音更显焦急。
“我正要跟你说呢！她现在在我这儿。”我说着，看向赵冰洁。
“哦，谢天谢地……”崔敏婷松了一口大气，“对了，她怎么去你那儿了呢？”
“是这样的……”我现想现编，“她今晚不是跟同学看电影吗？离我这儿挺近的，看完电影后就来我这儿取那幅《沙发上的少女》的底稿，毕竟是画的她嘛！她手机没电了，刚到我这儿。”
“嗨！这孩子，真是想起一出是一出。”崔敏婷笑道。
听着她的话，我在心里一阵一阵地不安。她又说道：“浩言，现在挺晚的了……”
我笑道：“嗯，我明白，一会儿我送她回家。”
“那就好，给你添麻烦了。”崔敏婷笑道。
“你干嘛跟我说这些？”
“对啊！我干嘛跟你客气？一会儿见，呵呵……”
送赵冰洁回去的路上，我们谁都没有说话。我一边开车一边思绪万千，却有一种无能为力的感觉，只能祈望老天，让小丫头早日走出这段不正常的感情。
开到别墅门外，崔敏婷已等在那里，看到夜色中的她，我又惴惴不安起来。
下了车，崔敏婷向我们迎来，她一只手放在赵冰洁的肩上，另一只手轻抚她的脸蛋，说道：“冰洁，你可把妈妈急死了，外公外婆刚才也急得够呛。”
“对不起，妈妈。”赵冰洁嗫嚅道，看了我一眼。
我知道，她的这句对不起，并不仅仅是因为她害得妈妈担心了，更多的是因为她对我的不该产生的感情。
“没事了，以后不许这样了。”崔敏婷爱怜地说道，“你先进去，我跟你陈叔叔说几句话。”
“嗯……”赵冰洁点头应道，又对我说道：“陈叔叔再见。”
“嗯，冰洁再见，早点休息。”我笑道。
赵冰洁进屋后，崔敏婷来到我跟前，温柔地笑道，“谢谢你了，浩言。”
“你怎么又来了？”我说道。
她微微一笑，柔柔的目光看着我，“我知道，以我们现在的关系和感情，我不应该对你说这些话。可我还是想说……”
她顿了一下，又说道：“有你在我身边，在我们母女的身边，真好。”
我笑了下，“这是我应该做的。”
“话说……”崔敏婷轻叹道，“冰洁还真是依赖你呢！她对赵建国都没有这样过。”
她看着我的目光，令我心虚得心砰砰直跳。我知道她是话中有话，不敢正视她，说道：“我也会当她是自己的女儿。”
“那就好。”崔敏婷笑道，“你回去吧？很晚了。”
“行，你也早点休息。”我说着，准备转身上车。
“你就这么走了吗？”她看着我笑道，略有些娇嗔，目光在黯淡的光线下柔情款款。
“怎么啦？”我笑问道。
她看了一眼别墅，又看向我，指了指自己的嘴唇，依然微笑着。
我笑了笑，在她的嘴唇上吻了一下。她娇嗔道：“敷衍了事。”
说着抱住我的脖子吻住了我，我也搂着她深吻。
分开后，她对我娇羞地笑道：“这下你可以走了。”
“好。”我笑道，坐上驾驶位发动了车，降下车窗说道：“你进去吧！早点睡。”
“嗯，你小心开车，到家了给我发个信息。”崔敏婷对我轻轻地挥手。
我们的这几幕，被站在楼上窗户边的赵冰洁给看到了，小丫头的眼里噙满了泪水。
回去的路上，我仍然被惶恐不安的心情所笼罩。
我在心里对自己说，绝对不能伤害赵冰洁，绝对不能做对不起崔敏婷的事。
两天后，崔敏婷给我打电话说，赵冰洁问过我和她之间的事了，而她也向赵冰洁作了坦白。
我有些吃惊，也有些不安，问道：“那冰洁怎么说？”
“没想到这孩子蛮懂事的，她说祝福我们。”崔敏婷在电话那头笑道。
我当时想，不管赵冰洁说这话时是怎样的心情，她的祝福应该是真心的。毕竟她爱自己的妈妈，希望她得到幸福。
而我和她之间，应该是到此为止了吧？这样想着，我不由得如释重负。
春节即将来临，我姐给我打电话，问我这个春节回不回西安？还说她很想我。
之前的几个春节，我都是跟江美云在广州她娘家度过的，心想这个春节，我该陪陪我姐了。
自打父母都去世后，姐姐是我在这个世上唯一的亲人，而且她对我特别好。过去的这几年中，她考虑到我的落魄以及在经济上被江美云管得紧，用辛苦开店的钱不仅养育我外甥，还常常补贴我。一想到她那么辛苦，我就愧对她。
我曾对自己发誓，如果哪天我发达了，一定要让我姐享清福，不再让她受苦受累。现在我的条件好了起来，这个春节一定好好陪她。
我对我姐说，我肯定回。她听了后很开心，又问我，美云跟你一起回来吗？
我只好告诉她，我前不久已经跟江美云离婚了。我姐蛮吃惊的，问我为什么？我如实相告，江美云在外面有男人，所以就离了。
我姐叹息道：“没事，浩言，一切往前看，等过段时间，再找个合适的女人重新过日子。”
我很想告诉她，我已经找到了，是一个特别优秀、对我也特别好的女人。但我知道，暂时还不能说，因为对于我姐来说，崔敏婷这样的女人，绝非适合我的女人，况且她以前还是我哥们的老婆，我们这两对前夫妻又是才离没多久，恐怕我姐一时难以接受。这事，得慢慢来。
“嗯，我知道，姐。”我说着，眼泪都快下来了。
我姐呵呵笑道：“那行，我和子非在家等你。”
子非就是我外甥，大名马子非，二十岁了，刚上大三。他的名字还是我给取的，取自《庄子》中的“子非鱼，焉知鱼之乐”。他爸是个混蛋，喜欢喝酒，一喝醉就打人，打老婆打孩子，还在外面乱搞女人，正如张楚在《姐姐》中所唱的——我的爹他总在喝酒是个混球……可以说跟江美云父亲的过去很相似。
我以前还因为他欺负我姐揍过他。马子非上初中那会儿，我姐就跟那厮离了。离了也好，反正那厮也从不管孩子，全靠我姐一人。每次一想到我姐，我就心酸得不行。

43、
敏婷音乐舞蹈艺术培训中心放假前的那天晚上，在某大酒店包下了一个大会议厅，举办迎新春舞会。
崔敏婷邀请我参加，还说崔敏强和他女朋友李晶也要去。我本来不想凑这个热闹，可崔敏婷说，每个人都有舞伴，你好意思让我这个老板在员工们面前单着吗？
她把话都说到这份上了，我也就却之不恭。为此，她专门带我去阿玛尼的专卖店给我买了一身，让我在舞会上穿。
我一时想到了高艺娜，几个月前我和她在一起时，她要给我买阿玛尼或范思哲，被我坚决制止了，后来去海澜之家买了几身。
虽已时隔几个月，现在想来仍宛若昨日，令我又是一番感慨，不知她现在过得好吗？
我在心里自嘲，她嫁给一个那么有钱的男人，能过得不好吗？还需要你替她操心？
舞会举行的那天傍晚，我站在小区门口等崔敏婷来接我。不一会儿一辆宾利轿车停在了我面前，我正在寻思能开这么好的车的人，一定特别有钱，却看到崔敏强坐在副驾位上。
崔敏婷坐在后排对我招呼到：“浩言，上车。”
我坐了进去，崔敏婷把宝儿抱起来放到了赵冰洁的腿上，说道：“宝儿乖，姐姐抱你。”
母女俩都化了精致的妆容，穿着名贵隆重的裙装，各自露着乳沟，在外面披了件大衣，实在是魅力四射。
崔敏强也是一身礼服，就连宝儿也穿着儿童礼服，这一家子人，今晚是盛装出席啊！
开车的是一个三十来岁的男人，一身的名牌。崔敏婷对他说道：“小周，这是我朋友陈浩言。”
又对我说道：“他是敏强的私人助理小周。”
小周一边开车，一边扭头对我说道：“你好，陈哥。”
“你好、你好。”我连忙笑着应道。
我知道，有钱人的所谓私人助理，实际上就是司机兼跟班。我暗自寻思，真不愧是大老板，连个跟班都是一副有钱人的模样。
崔敏婷又告诉我，因为李晶今晚也要参加他们公司在深圳总部的团拜活动，不能来参加这边的舞会，所以就让赵冰洁做她舅舅的舞伴。
我发现，自打我一上车，崔敏强就一句话没有，好像挺不高兴似的。
到达酒店门口，我们四个人带着宝儿下车，小周将车开走了。
进入舞会现场时，里面已聚满了男男女女，都是培训中心的员工和外聘老师。女的个个穿着漂亮的裙装，浓妆艳抹，露着乳沟，男的也个个身着正装，穿得很体面。
两位女士把身上的大衣脱下来交到了一旁的存衣处。崔敏婷挽着我的胳膊走在前面，崔敏强右边的臂弯中挽着赵冰洁，左手牵着宝儿，走在我俩的后面。
“崔总好！”、“崔姐好！”的问候声一时不绝于耳，崔敏婷频频向众人微笑点头，大家都把好奇的目光聚焦到了我的身上，让我颇不自在。
这时，我听到了一声花痴般地赞叹，“哇塞！好帅啊！”
我知道，这个声音不是对我发出的，而是属于崔敏强的。几个凑在一起的女孩正窃窃私语。
“是啊！是啊！小崔总真的是太帅了啦！”
“诶，他身旁的女孩是谁？又年轻又漂亮，身材好好，是他的新女朋友吗？”
“瞎说什么呢？那是咱们崔总的女儿，小崔总的外甥女。”
“哦、哦、哦……”
那个叫小方的女助理迎了上来，拉住崔敏婷的双手笑道：“姐，好漂亮！”
“死丫头，你也很漂亮哦！”崔敏婷笑道。
小方也是一身漂亮隆重的裙装，乳沟深陷。到这时我已知道，小方从艺术学院毕业后就一直跟着崔敏婷，是她的得力助手，她俩的私交也很好，亲如姐妹。
两个漂亮女人亲热地拥抱了一下，小方又对崔敏强笑道：“小崔总好。”
崔敏强微笑着点了点头。然后小方又跟赵冰洁和我打了招呼，抚摸宝儿的小脸蛋逗他。
趁崔敏婷跟小方说话，我四下打量，主席台的下方乐队已经到位，正在最后调试乐器。
因为是舞会兼自助酒会，四周摆满了铺着桌布的长条形桌子，上面放满了各种酒水和食物，红酒、香槟、中餐、日料、韩料、西点和海鲜应有尽有，琳琅满目。不时有服务生穿梭其间。
舞会正式开始前，小方作为主持人首先上台讲话，她拿着麦克风说道：“女士们，先生们，欢迎大家的光临。在这个新春佳节即将来临之际，我们欢聚一堂，举行迎新春舞会，并迎来了我们敏婷音乐舞蹈艺术培训中心创立的第十五年。现在，我们以热烈的掌声有请我们美丽的崔总，上台给大家讲几句话。”
随着掌声一片，崔敏婷风姿绰约地走上了主席台，从小方手中接过麦克风，笑盈盈地看着台下说道：“大家好，自从十五年前我创立这个艺术培训中心以来，十五年风风雨雨，敏婷音乐舞蹈艺术培训中心一路走来，得到了很多人的关怀和帮助，尤其是今天在场各位的鼎力相助和默默的奉献，让我们的艺术中心才能发展到今天的规模，并取得了很好的成就。”
“可以说，没有各位的努力和精诚合作，就不会有敏婷音乐舞蹈艺术培训中心的今天和将来。在此，崔敏婷向各位真诚地道一声谢谢。谢谢大家！”
在又一次热烈的掌声中，崔敏婷右手拿着麦克风放到小腹上，左手搁在乳沟那里，对着台下深深地鞠了一躬。她的这个动作，既表示真诚，又不至于让春光过于泄露。
看着台上的这个女人，我在心里为能得到这样一个极为优秀的女人的垂青，而深感自豪和幸运。
崔敏婷鞠完躬以后，抬起双手往下压，示意全场安静。她又说道：“今天各位带来的，有自己的另一半，有自己的家人或好友，都是亲密的人。在此，我也要向大家介绍一下我的家人，虽然你们当中有很多人都认识他们了。”
“他们是，我弟弟崔敏强，我的女儿赵冰洁，还有我那最最可爱的小侄子崔君宝，现在，我们用掌声请他们上来。”
又是掌声一片，崔敏婷拿着麦克风对着我们几个站立的方向说道：“敏强，冰洁，你们带宝儿上来。”
崔敏强和赵冰洁一左一右，牵着宝儿上了台。赵冰洁带着宝儿站在崔敏婷的左手边，崔敏强站在了姐姐的右手边，一家人一字排开，颜值都高得不像话。
崔敏婷继续说道：“站在我右边的这位帅气的男士，他是我的弟弟崔敏强。他从小到大特别地调皮、特别地捣蛋，没少挨我的打、我的骂，即便是现在他三十几岁、儿子都五岁多了，有时我也恨不得打他的屁股。”
她说着笑盈盈地看向崔敏强，台下轰然大笑。崔敏强笑着轻拍自己的额头，以示尴尬。
“不过呢！他是这么多年以来，对我支持最大，也是和我父母一样，给予了我最多关爱的人。虽然有时我特别烦他，可我不得不承认，我其实是很爱他的……”
崔敏婷说到这里，又看向弟弟，笑道：“敏强，在今天这个日子，你有什么话对姐姐说吗？”
说着将麦克风对向崔敏强。崔敏强握拳在自己的胸膛和肩上各捶了两下，看着姐姐说道：“姐，当你累了苦了的时候，弟弟的这里，永远是你最可倚靠的港湾。”
崔敏婷抹了一下眼泪，和弟弟紧紧地拥抱在一起。台下掌声雷动，站在我身旁的小方一边抹泪一边对我说道：“敏婷姐和小崔总的感情，可真好！”
“是啊！”我叹道，也不由自主地泪湿眼眶。因为在这一刻，我不仅被他们的姐弟情深感动到了，也想到了自己的姐姐。此刻，我真想立刻回到姐姐的身边。
姐弟俩分开后，崔敏婷继续说道：“站在我右边的女孩子，是我美丽的女儿赵冰洁。她从小到大都特别地听话、特别地乖巧，我因为忙于事业，对她的照顾很少，大多数时候，都是把她放在外公外婆那里。所以……”
她说到这里哽咽难言，赵冰洁赶紧替母亲抹去泪水，说道：“妈，没事……”
崔敏强也拍着姐姐的肩安慰她。崔敏婷看着女儿，泪中带笑，“冰洁，妈妈对不起你……”
她再次哽咽，“你有恨过妈妈吗？”
赵冰洁从母亲手中接过麦克风，说道：“妈妈，我爱你！”
台下再次掌声雷动，母女俩拥抱在一起，赵冰洁亲了妈妈一下。
赵冰洁又把麦克风凑到宝儿嘴边，宝儿仰头看着崔敏婷说道：“妈妈，我爱你！”
崔敏婷捧着宝儿的小脸蛋，流泪笑道：“虽然你应该叫我姑妈，但我确实也是你的妈妈。”
她蹲下来亲了宝儿两口，站起来动情地说道：“妈妈也爱你们。”
说着又和赵冰洁、宝儿拥抱起来。在全场的掌声中分开后，崔敏婷说道：“接下来，我还要为大家介绍一个人，他就是我的男朋友陈浩言先生。”
此言一出，全场皆惊，我也是目瞪口呆。崔敏婷站在台上对我说道：“浩言，你也上来。”
掌声四起。我没想到她会来这么一出，愣在那里不知所措。旁边的小方推了我一下，“陈大哥，快去啊！”
我只得在全场目光的注视中走上了台。崔敏强见我上台，面无表情地走到了赵冰洁的身边，把位置腾给了我。
崔敏婷说道：“可能在场的很多人还不知道，我几个月前已跟我的前夫离婚。而我离婚后的这段时间，浩言陪伴了我很多，我们迅速地在一起了。虽然快是快了点，但感情的事说来就来，谁又能拒绝得了呢？”
“你说呢？浩言。”她把麦克风凑到我嘴边，看着我笑问道。
我只好点头说道：“是、是啊！”
台下又一次掌声一片。我的余光瞥到崔敏强面无表情，而赵冰洁脸上的表情很复杂。
“好啦！现在让我们一家人谢谢台下的各位。”崔敏婷说着张开双臂，左手握住了我的手，右手牵起了宝儿的手。
赵冰洁左右各牵着宝儿和崔敏强的手，我们四大一小五个人手拉手，在掌声中一齐向台下鞠躬。
鞠完躬以后，崔敏婷又说道：“现在，舞会正式开始，希望大家玩好、吃好、喝好……”
随着悠扬的乐曲声，崔敏婷一边往台下走，一边对我说道：“浩言，我们跳舞。”
于是，我和崔敏婷跳起了今晚的第一支舞。崔敏强把宝儿交给小方照顾后，和赵冰洁也跳了起来。其他人也陆陆续续进入舞池，翩翩起舞……

44、
回家的路上，依然是小周开车载着我们五个，他先送我回家，再送崔敏婷一家人回崔敏婷的别墅。
一路上，赵冰洁逗着宝儿，崔敏婷和我说着话，而崔敏强则一言不发。
忽然，他叫小周靠边停车，对我说道：“浩言，你下来，我有话跟你说。”
我既有些莫名其妙，也预感不妙，跟着崔敏强下了车。
刚一下车，崔敏强转身就给了我一拳，打得我向后踉跄了好几步，差点摔倒。
“陈浩言，你他妈算哪根葱、哪颗蒜，何德何能敢当我姐的男朋友？”崔敏强对我咆哮道，又是一拳向我挥来，这次被我躲过了。
“敏强！”紧跟着下车的崔敏婷惊叫道，拦在了我和崔敏强的中间，怒斥道：“你干什么呀？你凭什么打人？”
崔敏强仍然不依不饶地对我怒吼道：“陈浩言，你他妈跟当初姓赵的混蛋有什么区别？你们都是一路货色，不就图我姐有财有貌吗？你说，你这场财色双收的阴谋是不是已经计划很久了？”
这时，小周也下车来到我们身旁，伸手搁在崔敏强的胳膊上，示意他老板冷静。
后座上的赵冰洁抱着被他爸爸吓得大哭的宝儿，眼含泪水看着我们，她也被眼前突如其来的场景给惊到了，同时也因为刚才舅舅骂自己父亲的那些话，而伤心不已。
“住嘴，你胡说些什么呀？”崔敏婷推了弟弟一把，又看了一眼两个儿女，喊道：“你把孩子们都吓着了。”
崔敏强双手握住他姐的肩头，情绪激动地说道：“姐，你清醒一点吧！这个人根本就配不上你。我从十八岁起就向爸妈保证过，要保护你一辈子，我不能眼睁睁地看着你往火坑里跳。”
“你怎么就认为我跟浩言在一起，是往火坑跳？”崔敏婷也情绪激动地说道，“告诉你，浩言跟赵建国根本就不是一路人。”
崔敏强指着我对他姐冷笑道：“不是一路人？他俩是朋友，物以类聚、人以群分，他能比姓赵的好到哪去？告诉你我的姐姐，你爱的这个人就他妈是个混蛋，是一个梦想着坐享其成的老白脸。”
我再也忍不下去了，沉声说道：“敏强，你可以蔑视我、瞧不起我，但每个人都是平等的，你不能中伤我，羞辱我的人格。”
虽然我在崔敏强面前自认卑微，但我不能任由他谩骂和侮辱我。
我的话更加惹恼了崔敏强，他喊道：“你这种梦想靠女人的家伙，还谈什么人格？我他妈现在就废了你。”
他说着向我扑来，崔敏婷拼命拦着他，对一旁不知所措的小周喊道：“小周，你愣着干嘛？帮忙啊！”
小周只好拽住崔敏强说道：“崔、崔总，你冷静点。”
“滚开！”崔敏强已失去了理智，瞪向手下吼道。
小周只好低头退到一边。崔敏婷无计可施，打了弟弟一个耳光，“崔敏强，你到底想干什么？”
她指着崔敏强怒斥道：“你要打他是吧？那你就从你姐的身体上踩过去。”
崔敏强摸着自己被打的脸，愤愤而又无奈地说道：“姐，你怎么又打我？”
“因为你该打！”崔敏婷瞪着她弟弟喊道。
“姐，你是不是被这个家伙罐了迷魂汤脑袋秀逗了？我那些朋友当中喜欢你的多的是，哪个不比他陈浩言强万倍亿倍？他浑身上下哪哪配得上你？”
“配得上配不上不是你说了算？你那些朋友在姐心目中加起来，也抵不上陈浩言一根脚趾头，你明白吗？”
崔敏婷的话让我心中一暖，爱意和感激交织在目光中看向她。
崔敏强哭笑不得，“我看你真是被这家伙给洗脑了。”
崔敏婷没理会他，继续说道：“再说姐找什么样的男人跟你一分钱关系都没有，用得着你在这儿充当我的保护神吗？我不需要。”
崔敏强被气得不轻，“姐，你居然跟我说这种话？”
他又把怒火转向我，“姓陈的，你他妈就是一个被女人保护起来的乖宝宝，永远躺在女人的怀抱里摇尾乞怜吧？”
我捏紧了拳头，真想照他那张飞扬跋扈的脸上打去。
“你混蛋！”崔敏婷又是一巴掌向她弟弟扇去，这次被崔敏强一把捉住了手腕。
“你再打我一下试试？”崔敏强怒道。
“那你打我啊！打啊！”崔敏婷瞪着她弟弟流泪喊道。
“崔敏婷，你别以为从小到大我老让着你是因为我怕你，要不是咱爸从小到大把你像公主一样供着，我……”
“你怎样？你还真敢打我？”崔敏婷瞪着弟弟说道。
崔敏强一时无语。崔敏婷也不傻，她怕把她这个爱犯浑的弟弟真惹毛了，就保护不了我了，娇声喊道：“放开我，你弄疼我了。”
她这一招，果然让崔敏强一下就心软了，再说他哪敢对他姐真动粗？松开姐姐的手气呼呼地不说话。
崔敏婷叹了一口气，说道：“敏强，你三十多不是十八、二十多那会儿了，怎么还是那么不成熟？你就不能学学你哥敏贤吗？”
崔敏强正在气头上，嚷道：“你别跟我提那个韩国人，一辈子没见过面的人，算他妈我哪门子的哥？”
对于崔敏婷的那个韩国亲弟弟，以及她在韩国的家人，我蛮好奇的。
崔敏婷只得对小周说道：“小周，咱们走，别管这混小子。”
小周站着没动，为难地看了看崔敏婷，又看向崔敏强，毕竟后者才是他的老板。
崔敏强埋头挥了下手，“听她的。”
又抬头对小周说道：“你送他们回去后，就回广州。”
“那你呢？”小周问道。
“你别管了，我自己有安排。”
“是，崔总。”小周毕恭毕敬地对他老板微微地一鞠躬，往车上走去。
“走，浩言，我们上车。”崔敏婷挽着我的胳膊也往车上走，瞪了崔敏强一眼。
我回头说道：“敏强……”
“滚！”崔敏强头也不抬地说道。
“哎呀！别理他，他就是个神经病。”崔敏婷挽着我边走边说。
宾利轿车开出去一段后，我从后视镜里看到，崔敏强仍在夜色中呆立原地一动不动。
“敏强他，没事吧？”我把目光从后视镜里收回来，扭头对后座上的崔敏婷说道。我瞥到赵冰洁一脸的忧郁之色。
“没事，甭理他，他就这脾气，过几天就好了。”
崔敏婷说道，又抱着怀中仍在抽泣的宝儿安慰，“哦，哦，不哭啦！不哭啦！爸爸不乖，我们不要他了。”
崔敏强目送着我们离去，从衣袋里掏出手机，拨出了一个号码，“你那边结束了吗？”
“现在过来接我，立刻、马上……”他又不容置疑地说道。
二十多分钟以后，一辆白色的奥迪tt停在了崔敏强的面前。
李晶从车上下来，走到崔敏强身边捧着他的脸庞娇笑道：“哎哟！我的小崔总，怎么这副表情？这是跟谁置气呢？”
崔敏强一声不吭，李晶娇声说道：“到底怎么了嘛？”
崔敏强这才说道：“我姐和陈浩言在一起了。”
“什么？”李晶吃惊地说道，“怎么会呢？你确定？”
“我姐今晚在舞会上，当着她所有员工的面宣布，陈浩言是她的男朋友。”
“啊？”
“陈浩言算什么东西？他从头到脚有哪一点配得上我姐，分明是癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉。”崔敏强越说越气，“我姐也是，干嘛非得让自己的这身天鹅肉给一个癞蛤蟆吃？”
“你这话也说得太难听了吧？”李晶挽着崔敏强的胳膊摇了摇，笑道：“好了啦！别气了。咱们去哪？是回广州？还是去你的会所？”
“住一晚再走。”
“得嘞！待会儿好好给你降降火，嘻嘻……”
李晶说着连拉带哄，把崔敏强塞进了车里，自己也坐进了驾驶位，奥迪tt在夜幕下绝尘而去。
除夕就快到了。那天晚上，我和崔敏婷在我的住处一连做了两次。
云收雨毕，她叹道：“好想跟你一起回去。”
我第二天就要启程回老家西安。我说道：“现在还不合适，等明年吧？明年我一定带你回去。”
崔敏婷搂着我撒娇道：“哎呀！不想跟你分开嘛！”
我笑道：“我又不是不回来，春节很快就过完了。”
崔敏婷又嘱咐我，明天走的时候别忘了带上她给我姐买的礼物。本来她想让我给我姐带些钱，被我坚决拒绝了。
我问道：“敏强到现在也没理你吗？”
“没呢！我也没理他。”
“你们两姐弟总不能就这样僵着吧？”
“那不能，我这个弟弟我了解，就是个姐控，等后天晚上年夜饭酒一喝，就什么事都没有了。”
在楼下送崔敏婷开车时，我们依依不舍，趁着天黑抱在一起亲了又亲，她又嘱咐我天天给她打电话，这才把她送上车，目送她离去。

45、
除夕前一天的上午，我开着高艺娜送我的那辆奔驰glc踏上了回家过年的旅程。这些年虽说我回去过几次，可回去过春节还是第一次，心里蛮兴奋的。
因为归心似箭，路上我没有住宿，困了就在沿途高速公路的服务区小睡一会儿，睡醒了继续赶路。
次日下午三点左右，我抵达西安市区，往东郊王家坟的方向开去。
那一片以前有好几家老兵工厂，我姐家就在其中一个厂过去的家属区，当年我们一家子都是这个厂里的职工。我和我爸是子弟中学的老师，我姐和我妈是工人。
快到家时，路过我姐的小食店看了一眼，店门还开着，一个风韵犹存的中年女人独自坐在里面。她就是我姐陈美兰，出生于一九七五年，比我大两岁，那年四十四岁。
可能是因为店里的暖气不足，陈美兰冷得直搓手。今天是大年三十，她居然还开店，我的眼泪一下就下来了。我靠边停车，走进店里喊了一声“姐”。
陈美兰看到了我，当即站起来笑道：“浩言，你回来啦？”
I pulled her into my arms and tears streamed down my face. Before we parted, I quickly wiped them away and complained, "Why are you still open today? Look around here, everything is closed. What shops are still open?"
She laughed and said, "Since you haven't gotten home yet, and I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well sell something."
"So what did you sell?" I asked.
She smiled sheepishly and said, "We haven't made a single sale this afternoon!"
“At this time of year, everyone is at home preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner. Who’s going out to eat? Who are you going to sell to? Come on, come back with me.” I said, pulling her out of the shop.
She quickly stopped me, "Oh! Haoyan, can you let me drive a little longer? Maybe a customer will come in soon?"
I ignored her, pulled her outside, and closed the door for her. She said again, "Are you worried about not being able to have New Year's Eve dinner? Don't worry! I've already prepared it, all your favorite dishes, you can just stir-fry them when you get back."
My nose stung, and I forced back my tears, saying, "No, I rarely come back, you have to listen to me."
"Okay, okay..." she laughed, "I'll listen to my brother. But you have to let me pack up. We can't open the shop for the next few days, so I need to take all the noodles, wontons, dumplings and stuff home."
I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you pack."
After my brother and I finished packing, we closed the shop door, and I led Chen Meilan to my car. She asked, somewhat surprised, "Hey, Haoyan, why don't you have any luggage?"
I pointed to the car and laughed, "Look, they're all inside!"
"Haoyan, you bought a car?" Chen Meilan said with delight, then exclaimed in even greater surprise, "A Mercedes!"
Although she hadn't seen much of the world, she still recognized the Mercedes logo.
I laughed and said, "I didn't buy it; a friend transferred it to me."
"That must have cost a lot of money, right?" She assumed I bought the car as a used car from a friend.
I opened the trunk, put the things inside, and said, "Sis, don't ask anymore, get in the car."
On the drive home, my sister, sitting in the passenger seat, excitedly said, "This car is so nice! It looks so high-end, even more so than Meiyun's car, right?"
She had ridden in Jiang Meiyun's car when she came to Shenzhen before. Chen Meilan looked at me and smiled, "Haoyan, I never thought I would be able to ride in my own brother's car in this lifetime."
I laughed and said, "Sister, Zifei is all grown up now and doesn't need you to take care of him anymore. In a couple of years, you can come and live in Shenzhen permanently, and I'll drive you around every day."
"Nonsense! Zifei is so young, how could he not need me to take care of him?"
The two siblings talked as they drove into an old residential area, where Chen Meilan's home was located. After my parents passed away, she rented out their old house, but that house was even older and didn't fetch much money.
The old building had no elevator, so the siblings carried their luggage and bags upstairs.
Chen Meilan said, "Haoyan, can you give me some to carry? It's quite heavy without an elevator."
That's just how she is. She's doted on me since I was little, and she's proud that I'm a cultured person. She doesn't want me to do manual labor.
I laughed and said, "Sis, I'm a man, am I any stronger than you?"
She laughed and said, "I'm used to carrying it!"
As soon as she entered the house, Chen Meilan called out, "Zifei, your uncle is back."
My nephew, Ma Zifei, was playing video games in his room when he heard his mother calling him. He ran out and said with a smile, "Uncle, you're finally back! My mom has been talking about you these past few days."
"You little rascal, you've grown taller again! You're so much taller than your uncle now!" I laughed, giving him a light punch on the chest. "I'm not the only one who scolds you as soon as I get back. Look, your mother went out to open the shop today, and you didn't even try to talk her out of it?"
“I tried to dissuade her, but my mom insisted on driving it,” Ma Zifei said with a smile.
"So you're just going to leave her alone in the shop? You're just sitting at home doing nothing, not even helping her out."
“My mom wouldn’t let me help her. She said that since neither of us is home, it would be so lonely for you to come back and find the house empty!”
Chen Meilan laughed from the side, "It was I who told Zifei not to go. This kid usually helps me at the shop quite a bit."
"Alright, it seems I misunderstood you," I said with a smile. "But now, I need you to go downstairs for me and bring up the two gift boxes from the car. Your mother and I couldn't carry that many just now."
"Uncle, did you drive back?" Ma Zifei asked excitedly.
Chen Meilan laughed again, "Yes! Your uncle bought a Mercedes!"
"Wow! Uncle, you've struck it rich?"
"It's not a new car, it's a used one."
After Ma Zifei came up, I gave the gifts I brought back to the mother and daughter. The gift for Ma Zifei was a pair of Adidas sneakers, and the gift for Chen Meilan was several pieces of clothing, a bag, and two boxes of women's health supplements.
These gifts were all chosen by Cui Minting. She originally wanted to buy my sister Chanel, Hermes, and things like that, but I stopped her. I said, "Good heavens! Are you trying to scare my sister to death?"
Later, after buying several pieces of clothing costing several thousand yuan, I said that even for these, I had to quote a 20% discount, otherwise she wouldn't wear them at all. But Cui Minting insisted on buying my sister a Chanel bag.
I laughed and said, "If I had known you insisted on buying it, I would have just picked one of your bags that you don't usually use and given it to her. They're all international designer brands anyway. Why waste money like this?"
Cui Minting said, "She's your sister, so she's practically my sister too. How can I let her use my secondhand goods?"
Ma Zifei picked up the Chanel bag and exclaimed, "Holy crap! Chanel, this must cost tens of thousands of yuan, right?"
I slapped him on the head and laughed, "You little rascal, you know your stuff!"
He laughed and said, "I saw girls from wealthy families at school carrying it."
When Chen Meilan heard that a bag cost tens of thousands of yuan, she was almost speechless with shock.
Ma Zifei then asked, "Uncle, did you buy a genuine product or a counterfeit?"
"Of course it's a fake! Do you think your uncle is rich?" I didn't dare tell the truth.
“Even counterfeit goods must cost several thousand, right?” Ma Zifei said again.
I could only say, "That's true."
After hearing this, Chen Meilan still complained that I was wasting money. I took out my phone and transferred 100,000 yuan to Chen Meilan's card.
Chen Meilan received a notification that her money had been deposited into her account and asked me what it was for. I smiled and said, "This is the prize money I won for winning first prize in the National Art Exhibition. Keep it, in case you and Zifei need the money."
She complained again, "You don't earn money easily either, so keep it for yourself! My daughter and I don't lack money."
I laughed and said, "I have more. Besides, I'm a bachelor now, so take it if you want."
Ma Zifei was still studying Chanel when he suddenly said, "Uncle, if you buy counterfeit goods, will the seller pay you back?"
I looked at him, puzzled. He took out five stacks of banknotes from his bag, probably fifty thousand yuan. I immediately understood; Cui Minting must have secretly slipped them in.
I said, "What kind of good thing is this? This is for your mother too."
Ma Zifei said, "Then why don't you just transfer the money?"
I thought for a moment and said, "I settled the payment for the paintings with the gallery a while ago. The owner gave me cash, and I was too lazy to deposit it, so I brought it back with me."
Chen Meilan said, "Haoyan, I absolutely cannot accept this money anymore. You keep it for yourself."
I said, "I still have some, don't worry..."
After much persuasion, she finally accepted the money, saying, "I don't need the money. If Zifei needs it later, give him some. I'll save the rest for you when you get married."
She then said to Ma Zifei, "Zifei, take Mom's bank card to the bank tomorrow and deposit it. It's too unsafe to leave it at home. What if a thief breaks in?"
That New Year's Eve dinner was the most enjoyable one I've had in years.
Chen Meilan was especially happy because the two men she loved most were gathered around her. She helped me and Ma Zifei with this and that, and even sang a few lines of Qinqiang opera. My father was a big fan of Qinqiang opera when he was alive, and Chen Meilan had heard it from him many times since she was a child, so she learned a few lines herself.
I think it would be perfect if Cui Minting could celebrate the New Year with us too...
