Nie Tong was quickly arranged to go to the United States by Nangong Ling, and Pan Hong was also going with him. Everything in Dongcheng City was temporarily left to Du Zhibin to take care of.
Jiang Xiyan faced the empty office. She had long been accustomed to making a cup of coffee for Nangong Ling every day, but now she didn't even have the chance to get close to him. She lowered her head and smiled. Isn't her obsession so stupid?
She put the cup back on her desk, sorted out her unhappy mood, and devoted herself to intense work.
Jiang Dongliang and Jiang Wuchao were also going back to Xincheng. Before leaving, Jiang Wuchao personally came to pick Jiang Xiyan up from get off work.
When Jiang Xiyan was happy, she let Jiang Wuchao carry her on his back in front of the office building, and then smiled happily. Jiang Wuchao also allowed his sister to act like a baby in front of her. She was the only daughter of their Jiang family.
The two took a taxi to a small restaurant near the apartment. Although this restaurant is located in a small alley, there are still quite a lot of customers here because of the chef's extraordinary skills. It really lives up to the saying "The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley."
”.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Jiang Wuchao took Jiang Xiyan to sit by the window and ordered two dishes at will. He came here not to fill his stomach, but before leaving, Jiang Wuchao had some things that he wanted to talk to Jiang alone.
Talk to Xi Yan.
Jiang Wuchao opened a bottle of beer and poured himself a glass, then helped Jiang Xiyan open a can of Lulu and handed it to her. Such meticulous actions had been familiar to him since Jiang Xiyan was a little girl.
Without saying a word, Jiang Wuchao took a big sip of beer and looked at Jiang Xiyan, who had turned into a blooming flower. The shadow of her mother could always be found on this delicate little face, and the memory of that day still vaguely existed in her memory. Jiang Xiyan
Xiyan was born, and her mother passed away. It was raining heavily outside the window that day, and there was deafening thunder. Her father just stood there smoking a dull cigarette. It was at that time that Jiang Wuchao, who was already in elementary school, had the concept of life and death.
.
Jiang Xiyan flashed her hand in front of Jiang Wuchao. She felt suspicious when Jiang Wuchao invited her out for dinner today. Sitting here, Jiang Wuchao didn't say a word, but kept looking at her, which made her a little uncomfortable: "
Brother, you don’t want to just take one more look at me before leaving."
Jiang Wuchao took Jiang Xiyan's hand in his own, patted her hair gently with his other hand, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, we will leave tomorrow. Are you really not going to go back with us?"
Jiang Xiyan nodded firmly. She wanted to grow up on her own. Although she is the golden peacock of the family, she cannot be a pet in the greenhouse forever: "I have decided, I will go back to see you during the Spring Festival."
Jiang Wuchao no longer forced, let go of Jiang Xiyan's hand, took out a red brocade box from his pocket and put it between the two of them, looking seriously at Jiang Xiyan's reaction: "This is what Fang Jian asked me to hand over to
Yours, actually he likes you quite a lot, and I don’t think dad would object if you two were together."
Jiang Xiyan curiously took the brocade box and opened it. Inside, a small and exquisite diamond ring lay quietly inside, waiting for the owner's mercy.
This surprise really left Jiang Xiyan at a loss for answers. She liked Chen Fangjian but didn't love him. She couldn't accept such a gift. She covered the box and pushed it back to Jiang Wu's place, her face losing her usual childishness:
"Brother, you'd better give this back. Emotional matters don't come about only if we have a good relationship. I respect him as my brother just like you. If you want me to agree to date him, I would rather choose not to know him.
"
Jiang Wuchao did not expect Jiang Xiyan to give such an answer. This usually spoiled sister disappointed him so much that his voice became louder: "Can you be more realistic? Who is Nangong Ling? Let's not talk about him first.
You are already married, and the scandals on the Internet are enough to worry you for a lifetime. Besides, he is a big CEO, do you just want to be one of his many women?"
Jiang Xiyan looked straight at her brother. She knew she was damn in love with Nangong Ling, but now wasn't she slowly looking for a chance to escape? She finally lowered her head and did not contradict Jiang Wuchao's words.
The cold feeling of Lulu in her hand made her tremble slightly.
Jiang Wuchao also felt that his words were a bit excessive, but thinking that it was not worth it for his only sister to be sad for a man who didn't like her, he stepped forward and held Jiang Xiyan's hand in his palm to give her warmth, and his voice lowered: "
Okay, I just think that it is better to find someone who likes you than someone who likes you. After all, Fang Jian is also from a well-known family, and is not worse than Nangong Ling in comparison. The most important thing is that he likes you."
Jiang Xiyan's tears fell on the table. Her heart ached at this time. She said what she meant in a choked voice: "Brother, I will try my best to make myself fall in love with another person, but love is not about money. I know
You all love me, but I don't like Brother Chen, can you give me some freedom? I'm not a child, I can control my own sense of proportion."
Jiang Wuchao didn't say any more. His sister was the thorn in his and his father's side. Such persecution would not be good for everyone in the end. He understood Chen Fangjian's heart, but emotionally, he really couldn't do Jiang Xiyan's.
host.
The dinner was spent in dullness. The brother and sister just drank the beer and Lulu in their hands and went back to the apartment directly.
Chen Fangjian was playing chess with his mentor in the living room at this time. When they heard the sound of opening the door, the two of them put down their chess and looked over.
Jiang Xiyan just said hello to Jiang Dongliang, then walked into a bedroom and never came out again.
Jiang Wuchao returned the brocade box in his hand to Chen Fangjian. He thought that he could successfully complete this task. After the conversation with Jiang Xiyan just now, he did not want to embarrass his sister anymore: "Let her be quiet first, Fang
Sword, don’t force things about feelings, let’s talk about it later.”
Chen Fangjian knew the result, took the brocade box in his hand and stroked the body. It seemed that he was really out this time. In order to prevent Jiang Wuchao from feeling that he was indebted, he just said softly: "Ting Yan
I won’t force Yan’s opinion on her.”
Jiang Dongliang just sighed and patted Chen Fangjian on the shoulder. This was his favorite disciple, and he also knew Chen Fangjian's character. Although he was born into a wealthy family, his scandals had never been reported, and he was very concerned about Jiang Xi.
He also saw Yan's sincerity, and now he didn't know what to say except sighing.
Chen Fangjian didn't want to ruin the joy of their gathering because of him, so he put the brocade box in his hand back into his pocket, stood up, and said goodbye to Jiang Dongliang and Jiang Wuchao one by one.
