Bai Jinyu's mother and Xia Lihua are cousins. In addition, after knowing Bai Jinyu's thoughts about Lu Zhandong, it is reasonable for her to appear here. However, she and Jiang Lichuan sat together and looked particularly harmonious.
It seemed as if nothing happened at the last banquet, and they were still the most compatible couple in front of the spotlight.
And she... was just a stranger sitting far away who accidentally glanced at them.
are not related to each other.
But is this the reality?
An Ning felt that all the blood in his body had frozen in an instant.
"I remember I had a dark purple tie with an irregular geometric pattern. I suddenly couldn't find it. Do you know where I put it?" Lu Zhandong suddenly whispered to the side.
An Ning took a short breath, then abruptly pulled his eyes back from the distance, his brain turned slightly, and the relevant information was presented.
Dark purple tie…
She bought it as a birthday present for him in the first year of their marriage. It was from the same designer as most of his suits. The price was naturally not low. It was just a thin tie. She looked like a girl from head to toe.
Not worth it.
It is said that a tie has a different meaning. It is a circle, a beautiful knot, the best wishes, and the hope of tying a person's heart.
But after she bought it, he didn't even look at it, didn't remove the wrapping paper, and just threw it away. She later put it in his cabinet, but she never saw him tie it, even when she was wearing it.
One month before leaving Yanqi Lake, when she asked a part-time worker to clean up the house, she found it on the top of his bookshelf, still with the wrapping paper attached, but covered with dust.
And now he was actually asking her why she couldn't find that tie! Not only the color of the tie, but even the pattern was described accurately.
There seemed to be a deep meaning in the look he looked over. No matter what his reason was, An Ning still replied: "Give it to the hourly worker. Her son just has to attend a job interview."
Lu Zhandong immediately felt angry, as if she had given away a piece of his heart for nothing.
And An Ning added: "She just spent more than three hundred to buy a suit for her son, and she just needs a formal tie."
She said it very naturally, but Lu Zhandong felt even more uncomfortable. Does such a tie match such a suit? More importantly...
"You actually gave away my things without saying hello!" Lu Zhandong scolded in a low voice.
This was really interesting to say. An Ning curled up her lips and said, "To be precise, you probably don't want it!"
Including her, they were all things he didn't want in the first place.
Her cold and calm eyes swept over his expression as if there was a lump in his throat.
Her words tied a thousand knots in his heart. Regret welled up in his heart. He couldn't defend himself, but he still said unwillingly: "Even if it is like that, I want it now."
"Lu Zhandong, just throw it aside. The person you don't want is you, and now you are the one you want. Don't you think it's a little funny?" An Ning said and really smiled.
Lu Zhandong's heart froze, and he tried his best to retort: "Just throwing it aside means you don't want it? If you really don't want it, you should just throw it into the trash can."
"The definition is very precise." After An Ning praised it, he added: "Isn't the action when you threw it away as if you were throwing away a piece of garbage you don't want? Not only things that go into the trash can can be called
Garbage, unnecessary, superfluous, has no use to people, only harmful things, can also be called garbage, so I just got rid of a piece of garbage that you don't want."
"I said, I didn't say no!" Lu Zhandong was excited and his voice was slightly louder. The moment he finished speaking, he also noticed something. He raised his eyelids and glanced at the few people around him who had been talking.
The eyes peeping here immediately dropped with guilt.
Lu Zhandong lowered his voice again, this time with a little patience, and said: "I just forgot, and now I want to find it back."
His eyes were so soft that they seemed to melt away everything.
But An Ning chose to look away after looking at each other for a moment.
"You can customize another one."
Lu Zhandong was stunned for a moment. Did she imply that there would be another chance to do it again?
"You cannot step into the same river twice."
An Ning suddenly said something, and the sparks of joy that had not yet bloomed in Lu Zhandong's eyes were extinguished in an instant.
Originally, she came to chat with Lu Zhensheng, but after sitting down, the person who kept talking to her was Lu Zhandong. On the contrary, Lu Zhensheng left his seat without knowing when and was meeting with Xia Lihua at a table not far away.
friend.
An Ning had a bad feeling. From the moment he was pressed on this seat, to the purple tie that Lu Zhandong suddenly mentioned, as well as the specious words he said, and his expression, everything seemed to be indicating something.
In the corner, Bai Jinyu was still sitting next to Jiang Lichuan with no intention of leaving.
"I never thought it would be exactly the same as before. As you said, the past is called the past because it can never go back. What I want is not going back, what I want is it.
Come back again." Lu Zhandong suddenly said again.
"It's very simple, you just need to make a call to the designer." An Ning stood up after finishing speaking.
Lu Zhandong reflexively reached out his hand to stop him, but An Ning had already moved his wrist back one step ahead of him, and at the same time quickly took a step back.
"I'm just here to talk to dad, but it looks like he's a little busy, so I won't interrupt him any more." After An Ning finished speaking, she felt relieved and simply added, "There are still people waiting.
I."
Lu Zhandong glanced at the corner. He didn't say anything, but it didn't mean that he didn't notice it. He knew exactly how many times her eyes had wandered there since she sat here.
Now, he still didn't want to say anything about it, but he naturally retracted his hand that was suspended in mid-air, looked at the time, and let her leave.
An Ning did not go back to her seat directly, but went to the bathroom, where she sent a text message to Jiang Lichuan - 'We had a great time chatting!'
After sending it, I waited for a while and the message came back.
——'Come to the rescue!'
Immediately, the discomfort in An Ning's heart disappeared. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, but she still replied in the text message like this - 'You think you are the emperor! Three thousand beauties in the harem!'
——'I think I am your exclusive male favorite, my queen.'
She could almost imagine that even though Jiang Lichuan's face was expressionless when he sent this text message, he must have been laughing in his heart, because the content of his text message itself was very mean!
——'Jiang Jianjian, do you dare to be more shameless? You obviously enjoy it, she is no match for you at all.'
In the corner, Jiang Lichuan looked at the text message An Ning had just sent, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, "Jiang Jianjian? This certain woman is really becoming more and more lawless."
On the side, Bai Jinyu felt uncomfortable when she saw his slightly changed expression. A moment ago, he was still saying to her coldly, "I didn't blame you. Considering the situation at that time, you just made a right decision."
That’s all.”
But the next moment, he smiled naturally again.
Bai Jinyu's inner fire suddenly became fierce again. After he suddenly announced the divorce unilaterally, she would inevitably get a scolding when she returned to the Bai family. But now that the matter was at this point, even if they were angry again, they would still be angry.
There was no way to reverse it. She had made up her mind and let them punish her in any way they wanted, even if it meant kneeling down in the ancestral hall and copying family instructions while hungry. After a similar experience, she acted unusually resolute this time.
She is determined not to remarry Jiang Lichuan, and she is determined not to obey them and go abroad. She will not go anywhere, she will stay in China, in Tongcheng.
These are the only two points on which she is particularly insistent.
But surprisingly, she only got one point right. As for remarriage... Bai Jingren didn't even mention it.
Therefore, one of the purposes of her coming to Hengsheng's anniversary celebration today was to see Jiang Lichuan.
She called him many times after the banquet that day, but he always refused to answer her calls and showed a refusal. However, her father Bai Jingren had something to say. It was okay not to go abroad, as long as she followed him on the divorce matter.
Jiang Lichuan communicates well and does not affect the relationship between Jiang and Bai families.
It was obvious that she had done nothing wrong, in such a situation. And the reason why she was in such a situation now, in the final analysis, was just because Jiang Lichuan was lucky enough to be born into such a family, and the thought that she had accidentally stolen
Heard the conversation between Bai Jingren and Bai Shaoqing.
——'For the sake of Jiang Lichuan, Jiang Zheng couldn't hold back in the end. This move will definitely leave clues. The general election is around the corner. Just in case, we have to make plans in advance.'
Only then did Bai Jinyu know that the reason why Jiang Lichuan was okay was partly due to his father Jiang Zheng.
Judging from the meaning of their conversation, Jiang Zheng's prospects are likely to change, and the reason why she is still asked to communicate with Jiang Lichuan is nothing more than making preparations. This is their usual approach.
Bai Jinyu felt happy when she thought that Jiang Lichuan's current attitude was only temporary, and that one day he would not be in much better shape if his father fell.
"Didn't you say it was just for a while? Why did it take so long?"
Suddenly hearing Jiang Lichuan say this, Bai Jinyu looked up and saw a person standing on the side of Jiang Lichuan at some point. It was An Ning.
"It's not that long! I think there is no place for me here." An Ning said.
Jiang Lichuan looked at the empty seat on his left and said, "Your bag is already occupied here, will there be no room for you?"
An Ning smiled slightly, "It's far away and the light here is dark, so I can't see clearly."
"If you don't come back, I'm going to ask Mr. Lu for help."
When Jiang Lichuan said this, there was an indescribable tenderness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, a look that Bai Jinyu had never seen before.
Bai Jinyu's expression began to look slightly unnatural again. She hated losing, especially losing to An Ning.
"What are you kidding about!" An Ning snorted and glanced at Bai Jinyu. She felt that the opera was almost finished, so she pretended to be surprised and said, "Eh? Isn't this Miss Bai? We meet again.
