The street scene flashed past the window. It was very quiet in the spacious Lincoln's extended carriage. Jing Miao sat there, her eyes unconsciously chasing the flickering street lights.
Xiu Yu didn't come back, so Jing Miao had no choice but to follow Xiu Ying home.
Xiuying, who finally felt better, was lying with her eyes closed. The ringing of her cell phone suddenly broke the silence of the room. She picked it up impatiently, but did not answer it immediately. She glanced at Jing Miao with lazy eyes.
"Will you answer it or not?"
It's probably Xiu Yu calling.
Jing Miao smiled and said in a calm tone, "It's up to you."
I know that this fifth sister wants to see her anxious, but she is not anxious.
This is not the first time. This man has never belonged to her. Now that she knows it, she has no expectations. How can she be anxious, worried or sad?
Jing Miao lowered her eyes, looked at her smooth fingers, and said nothing.
Xiuying, who wanted to see a joke, was disappointed.
Turning on the public broadcast function of the phone, she lazily asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Fifth sister, why did you answer the phone? Is Jingmiao with you? Please send her back."
"Didn't you take your own wife away? Now you actually come to ask me if I am your nanny?"
The other end of the phone hung up the phone almost immediately.
"You brat, you have such a bad temper. You didn't even listen to what I had to say before you hung up the phone." Xiuying frowned and said in an angry tone, "Huh, let him be anxious."
"Fifth sister, I plan to go back tomorrow. Mom has already gone back, and I can't delay my work for too long." She stayed here for too long, longer than she expected.
Surprise flashed in Xiuying's eyes, and the admiration on her face was undisguised, "Very good, you are still young and a woman has her own career, so she can only be a vine attached to a man. Once the tree doesn't want to, or falls down,
, Ivy can only crawl on the ground, asking for help from others rather than asking for yourself."
Jing Miao suddenly understood that the reason why Xiuying in front of her was so attractive was not only because of her family background, but also because of her unique personality.
When I returned to Xiu's house, almost most of the people were no longer in the house. As soon as the birthday of the old man of the Xiu family passed, the children and grandchildren all went their separate ways and were busy with their own affairs. They were either high-ranking officials or businessmen.
Elites, time is as precious as gold to them
"Where's the old man?"
The living room was very quiet. Mr. Xiu, who usually sat on the sofa and watched the evening military news, did not appear.
"Grandpa, he went to Hong Kong temporarily. I heard this time it was an exchange meeting."
Lan Miao walked down from the second floor, wearing a silk nightgown, obviously ready to sleep.
Xiuying's expression was indifferent and she didn't respond to Lan Miao.
Lan Miao didn't seem to be surprised by Xiuying's reaction. She was sitting on the sofa, drinking the beauty bird's nest before going to bed.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, has Xiaoba's wife's room been tidied up?"
Xiuying asked the housekeeper who just came downstairs.
"It's already packed. Xiaoba just called back and asked me to send someone to clean out his old room so that Jing Miao can live there."
The clock on the wall had already read a quarter to twelve. Seeing that Xiu Yu had not come back at this time, she assumed that Xiu Yu would not come back.
"Miaomiao, it's just right for you to sleep with me tonight. I also have something I want to show you. Didn't you say you are very interested in my process of making those necklaces? Go to my room."
Jing Miao was slightly startled, but before he could say anything, Xiu Ying pulled him up, "Go, anyway, Xiaoba won't come back tonight. Even if he comes back, what will happen? Then punish him and let him stay alone on the empty bed."
, who told him to abandon you today and leave on his own?"
Xiuying enthusiastically held Jing Miao's hand. She talked excitedly about her knowledge of handicrafts all the way. The two of them were affectionate from behind, just like best friends who have known each other for many years.
In the living room of the luxuriously decorated Xiujia mansion, only Lan Miao, who had been treated as a transparent person from beginning to end, was left, quietly drinking the cup of bird's nest.
Seeing the two chatting and laughing people disappearing around the corner on the second floor, Lan Miao threw the delicate porcelain spoon back into the bowl with a bang.
Why is this weed loved by the relatives around Xiu Yu wherever he goes? Li Mu, who speaks harshly, protects Jing Miao, and Xiu Ying, who always has his eyes on the top, also protects Jing Miao.
This woman is so good at pretending!
She took a few deep breaths before calming down and thinking about the past. When she first married into a scholar family, she spent a lot of energy and care to achieve her current status.
But Jing Miao, who had nothing and did nothing, yet managed to gain their favor and recognition easily.
She went upstairs angrily, and when she passed Xiu Yu's room, she suddenly stopped. Yu actually let that woman stay in his room!
Before she got married, she pestered Xiu Yu all day long and wanted to go to his bedroom, but she never got such an opportunity.
Envy and jealousy grew wildly deep in her heart, driving her to push open the unlocked door in a mysterious way.
She had wanted to come in to this room for a long time. It was rare that it was not locked today because of Jing Miao.
Lan Miao, who felt a little guilty, did not turn on the light, but quietly walked in and sat on the big bed in the room. Anyway, Jing Miao and Xiu Ying would sleep together tonight.
She lay down on it, sniffing the lingering scent of the quilt almost greedily. Her whole body lay in the quilt. It felt like she was leaning into Xiu Yu's arms.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound from the door, as if someone had pushed it open. The man didn't turn on the light, his footsteps became softer, and he sat next to the bed.
The man lay down and hugged her from behind
Lan Miao, who was holding her breath, tensed her whole body and was about to hesitate whether to get up when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
