After about fifteen seconds of silence, Jiang Lichuan asked: "What about you? What do you think?"
An Ning put one hand on the car window, just looking out the window at the blue sky, white clouds, and falling leaves, and replied somewhat nonchalantly: "Maybe this child really doesn't look like a child sometimes, but most of the time he still does.
It’s quite pleasing.”
"Then I will reluctantly ask people to pay more attention to this kid. Who makes you like him?" Jiang Lichuan said.
That's right to say...
An Ning smiled slightly and said deliberately: "The grandson named Tang said that he looks very similar to you when you were a child."
"what you think?"
An Ning glanced at him, "I've never seen you when you were a child, how do I know?"
"It's useless even if you've seen it."
——Because... you have forgotten everything.
An Ning didn't notice the sudden dimness in Jiang Lichuan's eyes, and just said: "Who says it's useless? If I saw you when I was a child, I would rush up to you without saying a word..."
"Put me down?"
An Ning showed a fake smile, and then said: "I'll beat you away with one fist!"
Jiang Lichuan smiled and replied: "Then I'm afraid you have to watch carefully when you punch, because there is a high chance that you will hit the wrong person."
"I will recognize your face even if it turns into ashes. No one will admit you wrong if you admit it wrong." An Ning said with a sinister look on her face.
"Then you'd better remember what you said."
Jiang Lichuan's expression was a little strange when he said this, but An Ning couldn't explain why for a moment.
There is an area in the south of Tongcheng that An Ning passed by while driving, but never entered.
There are four gates in total, and they are guarded in shifts by soldiers with live ammunition 24 hours a day, all year round.
More than half of the senior politicians in Tongcheng City live here, including some embassies of countries that have diplomatic relations with country a.
The access control was so strict. Just watching the soldiers leading powerful dogs and checking everyone like they were going through security check at the airport, An Ning had the urge to go back home, not to mention...
"Relax, an ugly daughter-in-law will have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later, not to mention you are not ugly." Jiang Lichuan said suddenly from the side.
That's what I said, but...
"You should have told me in advance." An Ning complained somewhat.
Although she knew that his father Jiang Zheng would return to Tongcheng to celebrate his sixtieth birthday in the near future, but...he at least told her a specific time in advance!
Instead of like this...
After four o'clock in the afternoon, she was suddenly woken up by his kiss while she was in a daze. Then, while her brain was still awake, she just heard him say, "I have an event, please go with me."
She was half asleep and was about to refuse. It was so sudden that she didn't even have time to dress up, but he said: "It's not an important occasion, just treat it as a common meal, just casual."
When she thought about it, that's right! If it was important, she wouldn't say it now.
So she simply cleaned herself up as he said, as if she were going to have a potluck dinner.
But after arriving...
An Ning only wanted to curse.
Is this an unimportant occasion? It's his father Jiang Zheng's 60th birthday!!! She is actually wearing short flat-soled military boots, jeans, and a casual large cotton-padded jacket. Her disheveled hair was shaved with her paws before going out to make it smooth.
It was smooth, no makeup was applied, the mouth was a little dry and flaky, not even a lip balm was applied, and there was a rabbit fur earmuff on the head!
What's more...she is completely empty-handed!!!
…
When I think of this...
"I'd better go back!"
"If I tell you in advance, will you be able to prepare and be absolutely sure?"
"But at least...it's not like this now!"
Even if his appearance is a little rough, he came to celebrate his birthday and didn't even prepare any gifts.
"People who like you will naturally like you. No matter how hard you try, it won't make much difference to people who don't like you."
peaceful:"……"
"I know your father doesn't like me 100%, but... do you have to be so straightforward?!"
"He doesn't like me either."
Jiang Lichuan's tone was as calm as if he was stating an established fact that had nothing to do with him.
For a moment, An Ning didn't know what to say.
Even Zhou Lu has been keeping secrets about the matters between their father and son and does not want to say more.
And in the silence, a voice floated in front of us, "Brother, peace!"
As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Xia Chu corrected him: "It's my sister-in-law!"
"It's easy to say." Jiang Yuan said a little apologetically, and then said in a low voice: "The Bai family is here too."
"Isn't that normal?" Jiang Lichuan replied.
"What about you? Are you ready?" Jiang Yuan asked An Ning again.
Before An Ning could speak, Xia Chu jumped in and said, "Why are you scaring her? What can you prepare? You think this statue is just a decoration!"
Speaking of the word ‘display’…
Jiang Yuan pursed his lips and smiled.
It was said to be a sixtieth birthday, but it was more like a simple Western-style outdoor barbecue party.
Long tables are placed in the open maple leaf forest, with fruits, drinks, and everything available. There are no waiters, pure self-service, melodious music, and people chatting freely.
Compared with the security check at the door, the atmosphere here is completely different.
Jiang Lichuan answered a phone call not long after he came in, and then entrusted An Ning to Jiang Yuan and Xia Chu.
And perhaps because she was dressed too passerby, An Ning's appearance did not cause any commotion for a while. I only occasionally heard people talking about her a few times, and they still used the words "Lu Zhandong's ex-wife" or "that woman".
synonym for.
Regarding this, An Ning just treats it like listening to a story, just listen to it.
"It seems you have adapted." Jiang Yuan said.
"No topic can stay in the limelight forever. It will eventually pass. Besides, they are just out of curiosity and have no real malice."
Jiang Yuan curled his lips and said in a low voice: "I don't know what happened in Jingli recently, but something started to spread, saying that my brother has died a long time ago."
Not working anymore?
An Ning thought these three words referred to the rumor created by the last time Jiang Lichuan was investigated by the disciplinary inspection, but Jiang Yuan said again: "It is said to be the sequelae of the accident three years ago, is it true?"
"The accident three years ago?"
"My brother didn't tell you?"
"Apparently not."
Jiang Yuan did not say any more, but just said: "Is what you said true? There were many people who were envious, jealous and hateful of you, but as soon as the news broke, most of them were waiting to see the good show."
Having said this, An Ning roughly understood what the three words 'no more' meant.
"This question... you can ask Bai Jinyu. It was her who took over your brother's job three years ago."
"Isn't it the same if I ask you?"
Looking at Jiang Yuan's interested expression, An Ning simply said: "I think, although Lu Zhensheng may not come to an occasion like today, Lu Manman will definitely come."
Immediately, Jiang Yuan's expression changed.
An Ning smiled and said, "Actually, Miss Manman is quite nice. Although she has a bit of a temper, she is definitely an exception for you."
"Spare me!" Jiang Yuan said.
"I don't need to mention it, but..." An Ning said, looking at Miss Lu who was looking up and looking for something on the lawn not far away, and then said: "She seems to be looking for you."
Immediately, without saying a word, Jiang Yuan pulled over Xia Chu, who was being pestered by a fan for an autograph.
'Shield' Xia Chuyi didn't understand what was going on at first, why Jiang Yuan looked so bad, until he saw Lu Manman not far away under An Ning's eyes, and then replied to Jiang Yuan with two words, "Go out!"
"
"If you can handle her, I think you have a lot of potential." Jiang Yuan replied.
"You might as well just let it go." An Ning said.
"She wants to be responsible for you, so just let her be responsible, otherwise I will be under a lot of pressure as your 'new love'." Xia Chu also said.
"Both each other, each other, as your 'new love', I am also under a lot of pressure." Jiang Yuan said, his eyes swept in a certain direction.
An Ning looked along and saw that Tang Shaoyan was holding a goblet and chatting and laughing with three or five women.
The so-called evildoer is probably like him, with a face that suits both men and women, a smile that could make a country fall, and a good eloquence. He can make those women laugh with just a few words, and it is obvious that his gaze is always on them.
He glanced here and stared at Xia Chu, but none of the women noticed that he was distracted. Instead, they all looked happy to have received his attention.
And at the beginning of Xia...
Xia Chu just looked at it coldly, and then took Jiang Yuan's arm as if he didn't see it.
"He looks like he wants to tear you apart. As your 'new love', I'm very curious about what you did to him?" Jiang Yuan said deliberately without fear of death.
Xia Chu didn't answer, but glanced at Jiang Yuan with a hook in his eyes, full of warning.
"I heard that Shen Xueli was discharged from the hospital today." Jiang Yuan said again.
"If she had any professional qualities to commit suicide, she should have bled dry. The plot of bleeding half of the blood and then calling someone to say her last words in anger has been written badly in TV dramas." Xia
Chu Hui said.
"This also shows that you are driving her to the end." Jiang Yuan said.
Xia Chu smiled coldly, "You also said it, just 'fast'."
Their conversation sounded specious to An Ning, and she vaguely felt as if she knew something, especially when she thought of what Tang Shaoyan said. Could it be that Xia Chu really did something that caused Shen Xueli to commit suicide?
Just as An Ning was guessing, Xia Chu suddenly said, "Aren't you curious?"
Knowing what she was referring to, I replied: "Everyone has their own reasons for doing certain things, and there is no need to explain them to others."
There was a hint of appreciation in Xia Chu's eyes, "An'an, I love you more and more!"
After saying that, Xia Chu came over and hugged her.
An Ning immediately took a step back, "You should still love your 'new love'! You are good comrades in the revolution."
"I'm thinking if I should just announce that I'm gay. You're more reliable than him."
As soon as Xia Chu finished speaking, Jiang Yuan immediately gave her to An Ning with both hands and said, "Go slowly, don't send her away. I wish you will be extra happy being tortured and killed by big brother from now on."
Xia Chu's expression immediately changed.
An Ning also said: "Miss Xia, think twice before you act. The times are not yet fully civilized. Male celebrities who come out as gay will have a great career path, but female stars who come out as gay will die quickly."
After saying that, without waiting for Xia Chu's reaction, An Ning immediately greased the soles of her feet, picked up the fruit, picked up the plate and went to the table under the tree. After enjoying it for a while, a joking sound suddenly came from above her head.
"Junior sister, did you take away all the tomatoes here?"
