"Isn't this a great joy? On the day of my sixtieth birthday, the person in the photo hanging in the study that I thought about so much came out alive. It's an absolute happy reunion!"
Xia Chu said, looking sideways at Jiang Yuan, "Jiang Xiaoqi, what's your expression? Secretary Ji's position is now impregnable, you don't have to worry about anything."
Jiang Yuan didn't speak, just glanced at Xia Chu, and then walked quickly in that direction with his cane.
Xia Chu made a sound, and then said to An Ning: "If you don't want to go to such a good show, I will go."
Of course we have to go to peace and quiet, but not to watch a show.
Although Jiang Lichuan never looked over here, An Ning knew that he must want her to go and stand beside him.
Because he said that he wanted her to always stand by his side and keep looking at him.
As the woman in the wheelchair gradually came into view, someone in the crowd shouted first, "Impossible!"
Then Jiang Zheng, who was talking quietly with Bai Jingren and other Jiang faction officials, suddenly became stunned. Then he stood up with stiff joints like a rusty robot, turned his head, and when he saw the wheelchair
The moment he fell in love with the woman, he staggered. Someone next to him reached out in time to help her, but he pushed her away and stood there firmly, with his head tilted in one direction, as if he had been in an eternal posture.
Although An Ning did not see the change in Jiang Zheng's expression from a distance, he could still clearly see Ji Qing's suddenly frightened expression. Thinking about it, Jiang Zheng's expression was not that good either.
This made An Ning even more curious about the woman in the wheelchair who looked similar to Jiang Lichuan.
But at most, An Ning could only guess that this woman might be some relative of Jiang Lichuan and Xia Chu's mother's family, and definitely not their mother, because Xia Chu didn't look like the look she should have when seeing her mother, but there were also
It's somewhat complicated.
An Ning didn't have any extra thoughts to savor the complexity for a while. She only knew that she had to stand beside Jiang Lichuan as soon as possible.
It was indeed not going to be peaceful tonight, and as they had just agreed, his expression couldn't help but remind An Ning of the man he saw sitting alone at the bar drinking strong liquor when he first woke up in Lanting.
Jiang Lichuan, no, Jiang Lichuan at this time was even more solemn than before. Although there was still a faint smile hanging on the corner of his lips, that smile looked particularly dazzling.
Under the gaze of everyone, the only thing An Ning could do was to walk over and stand beside him.
Not far away, Lu Zhandong watched An Ning walk by. She and Jiang Lichuan immediately held hands, and suddenly, his heart felt cramped again.
They have known each other since childhood and have been married for nearly three years, but she has never stood beside him like that.
As for the reason, Lu Zhandong didn't understand it before, but as the distance between him and her grew farther and farther, he understood more and more.
A mouthful of strong alcohol passed through his throat, and his internal organs suddenly felt as if they were on fire.
On the side, Lu Manman said to Xia Lihua: "She really thinks that she is the eldest mistress of the Jiang family, and she does so in front of the Bai family, for fear that others will not know how they hooked up secretly."
"Girl, how many times have I told you that in public, you still have to be careful and don't say everything in your mind, even if it is the truth."
Xia Lihua's way of disciplining her daughter has always been very 'special'.
Lu Manman smiled, "They can do it, why are they afraid of what others say?"
"It is a fact that I slept with many women during my marriage to her. I have never been afraid of people telling me. If you are willing, you can make it public for me."
Lu Zhandong said this suddenly, and the smile on Lu Manman's lips suddenly froze, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Xia Lihua had long realized that something was wrong with her son, but before she opened her mouth, Lu Zhandong was already saying: "I still have something to do, the driver will take you back."
After saying that, Lu Zhandong turned around.
Xia Lihua stood there in shock for a long time. All she could think about was the last look her son took before he left, full of disappointment and pity.
Xia Lihua didn't know what she had done to make her son, who was born in ten months of pregnancy, suddenly treat her like this. She only knew that her chest suddenly felt tight and she couldn't spit it out or swallow it.
Even when Lu Manman was stamping her feet and complaining at the side, she didn't hear anything.
On the other side, when Jiang Lichuan held his hand, their eyes met, and An Ning seemed to hear Jiang Lichuan saying to herself - I am fine.
An Ning was slightly relieved, but then she heard Jiang Lichuan say: "Come on, An An, call mom."
An Ning was stunned and didn't react for a moment, but since Jiang Lichuan said this, he must have a reason.
But it was just a shout, and the word 'Mom' couldn't roll out of An Ning's throat for a while.
From a distance, he felt that this woman was very noble, but now that she was close, she was very cold. Especially for that moment, An Ning wondered if he had deceived him. He actually felt that the woman's eyes were full of love when she looked at him.
Hate.
An Ning suddenly felt a creepy feeling, and his heart suddenly shook.
But it was obviously just the first time we met.
An Ning found it unbelievable, and then blinked again the next second. When he looked again, he saw that the woman's expression was nothing but indifferent.
An Ning suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and dismissed it as an illusion. She tried hard to call out "Mom".
The woman just nodded in agreement, and then stared straight ahead, where Jiang Zheng was walking towards here.
An Ning couldn't help but feel a little sad. Forget it if this person was someone else, but it happened to be Jiang Lichuan's mother.
She seems to really have no relationship with her mother-in-law. This is the first time we met, just like this...
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly my hands tightened.
It's Jiang Lichuan.
An Ning raised her eyes and smiled at him.
It was a lie to say she didn't care, but after experiencing Xia Lihua, her mother-in-law, she had already seen it.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also need to pay attention to fate, and fate is the most difficult thing to ask for.
"you……"
A slightly trembling hesitant voice came.
It's Jiang Zheng.
An Ning thought that such a complicated expression would never appear on the face of a person like Jiang Zheng, but she didn't expect that not only did this expression appear, but it was also right in front of her eyes.
An Ning's mind was still reverberating with Jiang Zheng's tepid yet powerful words in the study. Looking at Jiang Zheng in front of her again, she felt unbelievable for a moment.
But Jiang Zheng is indeed Jiang Zheng. He is able to stand where he is today because he has experienced great storms. He soon returned to his usual expression. Even his eyes were a little more cautious and critical, and his voice was even louder.
He regained his usual composure when accepting interviews with news media, and asked Jiang Lichuan: "What's going on?!"
"Ah...Zhe."
A somewhat labored sound came from the woman in the wheelchair.
Following her call, An Ning noticed that there was someone standing behind her.
A man about sixty years old, wearing a very elegant Tang suit, with his hair carefully combed. Although he is old, except for the abrupt and winding scar on the right side of his face, it is not difficult to see that he must have been good-looking when he was young, and that
His eyes are even more stern, and they even have some murderous intent in them. They are like an unsheathed sword. The first time you see it, you can't help but start to feel scared.
And such a person who cannot be ignored has been standing here quietly like a ghost, but almost no one noticed his existence!!!
An Ning thought about it, her courage became cold again.
After Li Zhe responded to the woman, he handed out the long box of things he had been holding.
"Brother Yongjun, I haven't seen you for many years. This is a congratulatory gift from my lady. I hope you can have this day every year and have this day every year."
Although these words were congratulations, An Ning felt a little embarrassed when they came from the mouth of this person named Azhe.
Jiang Zheng, courtesy name Yongjun.
The reason An Ning knew this was because she heard it from Lu Zhensheng before when she was at the Lu family.
Among Jiang Zheng's old friends who were close to each other, they all called him "brother Yongjun" or simply "Yongjun".
And the man in front of him named 'Azhe' shouted out the words 'brother Yongjun' as soon as he opened his mouth. He must be an old friend of Jiang Zheng, and he has a close relationship with him.
But it seems...the relationship between these old friends is not very good.
because……
Jiang Zheng did not immediately reach out to pick up the long box of things. Instead, he looked at Li Zhe with a slightly wary expression.
However, Li Zhe smiled slightly as if he didn't care. His smile didn't matter, it just added a bit of ferocity to his anger, which made people shy away.
"In ancient China, there was a story about Jing Ke assassinating the Qin Dynasty. Although I have a scroll in this box, but you haven't opened it, secondly...do I have any motive to hide the dagger in it? Brother Yongjun, tell me, yes?"
An Ning noticed that Jiang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and then saw that he also raised the corners of his lips. Unlike the other party's chilling smile, Jiang Zheng's smile looked very harmonious at first glance.
"Tingshan, you are joking."
The smile on Li Zhe's face widened, and this time his voice seemed to burst into laughter. He said: "We haven't seen each other for many years, but Brother Yongjun understands me. If I want to hide something, I will definitely do it."
It can’t be a dagger, it must be at least a bullet, right?”
After saying that, Li Zhe smiled broadly and placed the thumb and index finger of his right hand in the shape of a pistol, pointing it at his head, and then softly said, "Bang!"
Immediately, Jiang Zheng's expression changed, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
Li Zhe continued as if he didn't realize it: "I have always missed those three years. Although it was short, it was not in vain. Brother Yongjun gave me a gift that I will never forget."
"thing……"
This was the second time the woman in the wheelchair spoke.
A complex pain emerged from Jiang Zheng's brows, and Li Zhe said, "Yes, thank you very much, Miss, for reminding me, otherwise I would just be reminiscing about old times."
After saying that, Li Zhe looked at Jiang Zheng and said: "The young lady said that she once had something temporarily stored with Brother Yongjun. Now that she is back alive, she wants to get it back. When will it be convenient for Brother Yongjun?
