At this time, the door of the house suddenly opened, and Jing Shang walked in carrying a large bag of fruit. The atmosphere was frozen for a while. Jing Zhicheng was so shocked that he didn't know what to say with his mouth half open. Knowing that the couple was coming, his son
I went out early in the morning and said I wouldn't have to wait for him if I wasn't home for lunch. But it's only around eleven o'clock now and he's back.
Xiang Ling in the kitchen also felt anxious, "Hey, why did this kid come back suddenly? Xinwei, don't worry, Mom won't let him mess around."
"Mom, I think you are more anxious."
Jiang Hao stood up. Out of politeness, he took the initiative to say hello, "Jing Shang, Happy New Year. You're back just in time. It's time for dinner."
Jing Shang said in a low voice, "Why don't you follow Xinwei and call me brother?"
Jiang Hao was speechless, so he should be called like this, but since he was 4 years older than Jing Shang, he really couldn't say it. The already awkward atmosphere became even more tense.
But at this moment, Jing Shang suddenly smiled carelessly, "Forget it, I'm embarrassed if you call me brother, it's better to call me by my first name... I bought some fruits. There aren't many shops open on New Year's Day.
I went a long way around to buy it.”
With that said, he went to the kitchen to get the fruit plate and processed the fruits one by one. "Don't be stunned. What are you doing? Xinwei, take it out."
Only then did Qiao Xinwei come back to her senses, "Oh okay...Brother, are you okay?"
"What else can I do? Go out and I'll help you. You're just coming home today. What can I do for you? Go out and eat some fruit."
Qiao Xinwei was kicked out of the kitchen by Jing Shang.
Jiang Hao was not stupid, so he naturally saw some clues. He originally felt that Jing Shang's relationship with Qiao Xinwei was not an ordinary brother-sister relationship, but now it was only further confirmed. As both men, he understood Jing Shang and the two of them even more.
A parent's thoughts, no wonder Qiao Xinwei is in a hurry to get married at a young age. I'm afraid it's not just because of Ji Xiaohai, the bigger reason is Jing Shang.
Of course, there is no need for him to explain all this, he just needs to understand it in his heart.
He and He had a pleasant lunch, and they were leaving not long after that. On the first day of the new year, they were newlyweds, and they had relatives from the Jiang family to leave.
Jing Shang offered to see them off. When they got downstairs, he looked at Qiao Xinwei and said, "You get in the car first. Jiang Hao and I have something to say."
"Is there something you say that I can't listen to?"
"Women are not allowed to listen to what is said between men."
"But……"
Jiang Hao patted her shoulder and said, "You go first."
"Oh well."
The sky was gray, and a biting wind blew from time to time. The two men stood facing each other, "If there is anything you want to say in front of everyone, let's say it now." Jiang Hao could probably guess what he wanted to say.
Jing Shang glanced at the car and made sure that Qiao Xinwei was already in the car, then he said: "I'm sorry for my unkindness to you before. I hope you will take good care of my little sister in the future. It's not easy for her."
Yes, I hope you cherish her."
Sure enough, Jiang Hao pursed his lips and smiled, nodded and assured: "Of course."
"My dad told me to be polite to you. If you offend us, our whole family will suffer. But if you make her suffer, I don't care how big your official position is or how powerful you are behind you. I will never make it easy for you."
.”
Jiang Hao smiled. In his opinion, Jing Shang is still a relatively naive young man, "Then let time prove it."
"Okay, then go ahead and come and sit if you have time. We are always welcome."
"good."
The conversation ended in a hurry, and as soon as Jiang Hao got in the car, Qiao Xinwei couldn't wait to ask more questions, but Jiang Hao deliberately kept it secret, "Women are not allowed to listen to what is said between men."
——
This year, Ruan Bin had an extremely uncomfortable life. On the one hand, he had to guard against Zhou Xiaoyi, and on the other hand, he struggled with whether to tell Jiang Hao the news that Xiao Tianai was alive and back.
No matter how deep the relationship between Jiang Hao and Xiao Tianai was back then, it has changed now. Jiang Hao is already married, and it is too late to say anything. What's more, the innocent person in the middle is Qiao Xinwei, whom he cares about very much.
.
He was in a dilemma with the concert tickets. Xiao Tianai is now a celebrity. How could Jiang Hao not know that it was only a matter of time before she came back?
Just when he was hesitating, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number. He picked it up and the person said "hello", and he recognized who it was.
"I haven't changed my number in all these years."
"Well, it's not easy to change your number. We have a lot of business dealings."
"Are you free now? Come and hang out?"
"Yes, it just so happens that I also want to talk to you."
"Then come to the hotel, I'll wait for you on the top floor."
At first, Ruan Bin thought that the top floor of the hotel was a coffee shop or a lounge. After arriving, he discovered that the top floor of this five-star luxury hotel was actually Xiao Tianai's personal studio. Over the years, she can be said to have become famous.
The top floor is divided into two parts. One part is the living area, which is a resting place for Xiao Tianai and many action personnel. The other part is the work area. The largest room has been turned into a small concert venue that can accommodate a hundred people.
In the next three years, Xiao Tianai will hold her solo concert here on the 17th of every month. As soon as the news came out, it was hard to get a ticket, and the audience who came to make reservations has been queued up until the second half of the year.
In addition, she has countless invitations from all over the world.
Ruan Bin was led by the receptionist to Xiao Tianai's rest area. This is a quiet sky attic. If the weather is good, you can see the entire capital city.
"Mr. Ruan, please come inside."
"Okay." Ruan Bin slowly walked inside as the receptionist pointed out. A huge high-definition poster of Xiao Tianai's performance hung on the wall of the passage. She looked elegant and noble in the photo. The location was written below, which was in Sydney.
Opera House. He thought silently in his heart. He didn't expect that among our group, Xiao Tianai was the most high-end and classy one.
Walking inside, Ruan Bin immediately smelled a fresh air. He looked around. It was a small indoor garden made of glass, and two large air filters in the front and back were working. It's no wonder.
"Bin, you're here." Xiao Tianai came out of the other door in a wheelchair. She was holding the tray in one hand and the handle of the wheelchair in the other. There was a control panel on the handle, and she could come and go as she pleased by pressing the buttons.
.
"Come and try the coffee I brewed. I ground it specially early this morning."
Ruan Bin stepped forward, picked up the tray, and praised, "Well, it smells good." He looked at her wheelchair again, "Not bad, with such a high-end guy, you can go wherever you want."
Xiao Tianai smiled casually, "It's okay on the flat road, but there's nothing you can do when you encounter stairs."
Ruan Bin put down the coffee and tapped her knee with the tray. He asked teasingly: "Can you feel me hitting you?"
It really takes someone who is familiar enough to talk about her legs without any scruples, "I saw you hitting me."
The two sat down in the garden center. The pots of lilies were blooming exceptionally well, and the air was filled with a light fragrance. Ruan Bin took a sip of coffee and gave a thumbs up decisively, "Better than the coffee at Starbucks downstairs."
It tastes good, not bad... You are living a very famous life now. If you hadn't asked me out, I would have had a hard time seeing you."
Xiao Tianai shook his head and smiled, "These are all provided by the sponsors. I am just a performer they invited. Once the three-year contract ends, there will be a replacement here."
"Oh, that's it." Ruan Bin brought the topic back, "Have you looked for Ah Hao?"
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"I looked for it but couldn't find it."
Ruan Bin looked at her in surprise, "How is that possible? He hasn't moved or changed his number."
"I called his number, and his wife answered the phone. I didn't want to say anything more, so I hung up."
"If you don't joke about life and death, Ahao won't get married, and he will definitely wait for you." After all, Ruan Bin was still angry, "The four of us have grown up playing together, how can you use death to test us?
Especially Ah Hao, isn’t this playing tricks on people?”
Xiao Tianai was calm. She took a sip of coffee calmly and turned to look at the lilies on the ground. "That's why I didn't look for him again. He already has a new life. I won't disturb him."
"With Ah Hao's character, if he knew that you were still alive, would he still be able to live his new life with peace of mind?! Alas, he would always know, sooner or later." On his way to the hotel, he asked about Xiao Tian'ai
Promotion of the concert has already begun, and anyone with eyes will see it sooner or later.
Ruan Bin said angrily: "When the time comes, you won't bother me if you say you won't bother me. No one can stop Ahao from doing what he wants to do. The most innocent person is his wife. She doesn't know anything. I really regret it..."
" He hesitated to speak. He regretted that he could not confess his love earlier. He regretted even more that when Yun Qing wanted to bring him and Qiao Xinwei together, he foolishly refused.
"What do you really regret?"
"It's nothing, I think you have to be mentally prepared for Ahao to come looking for you."
She smiled lightly and looked out the window in a distant manner, "Let's take a step and see."
"Why did you pretend to commit suicide? Why did you give us the illusion that you were dead?!" This is what Ruan Bin is most angry about.
At this time, Xiao Tianai's eyes slowly became moist. If it weren't for complete despair, who would want to die to escape his dearest and most beloved people? Who could explain the pain of being in a foreign country for the past five years?
Dao Deming. She reached out and stroked her legs, "How can Ahao have a wife with disabled legs? My uncle and aunt will not agree, and neither will I. He is so stubborn and strong, I
Only when he dies can he give up."
Apart from sighing, Ruan Bin really didn't know what to say, "You said that Ahao is stubborn, but you are not the same. Do you know how sad it is for Ahao to find the suicide note you left... Oh, forget it, I won't say it anymore, it's useless to say more.
, you are still alive, which is good news no matter what."
Xiao Tianai pursed her lips and smiled. She now exudes elegance and confidence. This is completely different from the despair she had five years ago. "Let's all get together sometime. Call Chen Jingye and also call me
Ah Hao, if their wives are willing, they can also come together. I am here and you are the only friends."
