After getting off work, You Tong went directly from the company to Li's house. Because she was afraid of being late, she gritted her teeth and took a taxi. The car sped towards the luxury villa area on Yangming Mountain.
As the car progresses, the sky gets later and later, dusk arrives, the sky is gray, the wind is also gray, and twilight rises from all sides
There were beautiful scenery along the way, but You Tong had no intention of admiring it. Looking sideways through the car window, she saw her tense expression and clenched her fists subconsciously.
"Miss, we're here!" The driver's mellow voice broke her tension.
"Oh, okay, thank you!" She quickly paid the money, took the invoice, opened the door and got out of the car.
Opposite, the Li family's villa is beautiful. This time is different from the last time she came. The two spectacular carved iron doors are wide open, welcoming guests from all over. The red carpet spreads, and at a glance, celebrities
countless
You Tong took a deep breath and stepped forward to register her name. She was very measured.
"My name is You Tong" he paused slightly, "I am... Miss Li's classmate"
"Okay, Miss You, please go to the left. My lady's classmates and friends are all over there in the flower hall."
"Thanks"
You Tong nodded slightly, and then walked towards the left. She saw a group of girls laughing and having fun in the distance, but Li Jiaqi was not among them. Some of them she knew were classmates, but there were also many more.
Those who are not familiar with it, but without exception, they are all young ladies from wealthy families.
You Tong was not inferior, but she was out of place. She stopped and did not move forward. Instead, she found a place to sit down.
Compared to talking about famous brand jewelry and other topics, she still prefers this kind of quiet, plain and a little warm feeling, like a light sugar water
Suddenly, there were footsteps in front of her. She raised her head subconsciously and caught a glimpse of Li Yuanhang's handsome face. She quickly stood up with her hands on her hands, but this triggered the pain in her wrist again and she couldn't help but tremble.
Li Yuanhang was keenly aware of it and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?!"
"It's nothing, I had a little muscle strain during my morning workout." You Tong casually found an excuse.
Li Yuanhang frowned slightly, a little suspicious, but did not ask any more questions.
He explained the purpose of his visit, "Jia Qi has a cello performance tonight and is going to get her nails done. Aunt Wan is going with her. She should be back soon. I'll take you in first."
"Okay, thank you." You Tong nodded slightly and followed him step by step.
Li Yuanhang seemed to deliberately slow down his pace. It took them five minutes to reach the living room of the villa.
The servant served tea, which was the finest Biluochun. Seeing the fresh tea leaves swirling in the exquisite white porcelain cup, You Tong was slightly in a trance. When she and her mother were still living in Tainan when she was a child, her mother was also the best.
I like this kind of green tea. Now, my mother’s taste has not changed, but the reality has been very different.
Li Yuanhang sat diagonally across from You Tong, watching her silently, with a trace of tenderness hidden in his eyes. Her plain face and lowered eyebrows made him unable to help but look away.
Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps at the door of the living room, accompanied by wailing, and both of them were shocked.
"Ouch...it hurts...my hand is going to be useless..." Li Jiaqi rushed in, crying so hard
"What's wrong?" Li Yuanhang stepped forward to hold her, but Li Jiaqi cried even harder.
"Brother! My hand...my hand..." Li Jiaqi raised his right hand. His originally slender fingers were now swollen like ham sausages.
Zhao Wanhua, who was chasing behind Li Jiaqi, also stepped into the living room. He was slightly startled when he saw You Tong, but he didn't have time to say anything. He first told Li Yuanhang about Li Jiaqi's condition, "I was just in the nail salon, Jia Qi's nails are almost ready."
There was only the last step of drying left, but for some reason, the machine broke down and a burst of hot steam came out, hurting Jia Qi's fingers."
Li Jiaqi cried even more aggrievedly, "Aunt Wan, stop talking, I might as well die. How can I play the piano like this later?!"
Hearing this, Li Yuanhang's expression also changed. All the performances scheduled for the banquet have been announced to the public. What should we do now?!
"I hate it so much. How could I be so unlucky that something unexpected happens to me!" Li Jiaqi was crying and angry, shouting and stomping his feet.
"Okay, it's a good day. Don't cry. Aunt Wan will help you apply ice and it will definitely ease!" Zhao Wanhua coaxed patiently.
"It won't be fine! It's all swollen like this! Woohoo..."
"Good boy, Jia Qi, when did Aunt Wan lie to you? I said yes and everything will be fine."
"Aunt Wan..."
"Well, Aunt Wan is here, don't be afraid of the wedding...be good, don't cry anymore..."
You Tong stared blankly at the side, seeing her mother hugging Li Jiaqi and comforting her tenderly. She couldn't help but raise her nose, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart. There was envy, but also bitterness. She felt faintly.
My wrist seems to hurt more
Zhao Wanhua turned around to get the ice cubes, but Li Jiaqi saw You Tong who had been standing next to her. When she saw the annoying person, her anger rose even more. Without thinking, she started scolding her, "You Tong
, you broom star, it must be your fault, if you don’t come, I won’t be hurt! Get out! I don’t want to see you! Get out!”
You Tong's face turned pale instantly
"Jia Qi!" Li Yuanhang yelled angrily, stretched out his hand to pull her away, "Jia Qi, apologize!"
"What?! You want me to apologize to her?! Why does she have?!" Li Jiaqi was angry and annoyed. Before the tears in his eyes dried, he started crying again, "You Tong and I don't have the same horoscope. I know her from
From that day on, she has been causing me dissatisfaction! At school, with her around, I got second place in the exam! At the sports meeting, with her around, I fell down while running! In the music club, with her around, my music was the best.
Eliminated! And...and..."
The more Li Jiaqi talked, the angrier she became, wishing that You Tong would disappear from now on, but suddenly, she stopped speaking
With red eyes, she looked You Tong up and down, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
You Tong bit his lip, a chill suddenly surged in his heart
