If this question had been asked before, she would have given the answer without hesitation.
At that time, apart from her father, only Yan Yuan was the most important person to her.
Even Xiaodouzi will be ranked behind Yan Yuan.
When she heard this question today, she just wanted to express that she would leave with Yan Yuan.
I never thought about opening my mouth but hesitated and fell into silence.
Yan Yuan on the side said impatiently:
"Dear, is this question difficult to answer? Based on our years of sisterly love, of course we choose..."
Zhang Ling promptly picked up Yan Yuan's words and said:
"That's right!"
Yan Yuan looked at the disappointed Li Xiang proudly. Just when he was about to show off that he had a good best friend, Zhang Ling's words unexpectedly rang in his ears.
"I choose not to choose."
After hearing Zhang Ling's answer, Yan Yuan almost exploded and said:
“What the hell is choosing not to choose?”
It was precisely because he understood the convoluted answer that Yan Yuan became unsteady.
"Just don't choose."
Yan Yuan thought Zhang Ling would change her mind because of her reaction.
Unexpectedly, I got affirmation again.
"Why?" Yan Yuan asked in disbelief.
Zhang Ling said with a calm and naughty smile:
"That's a matter between you. Why do you involve me and ask me to make boring choices? No, I won't choose. Let's see what you can do to me?"
For the first time, Yan Yuan heard Zhang Ling's answer that she had abandoned her.
The reason for all the imbalances in my heart is because of Li Xiang.
So he shook his head and said:
"I always thought that the word "forgetting one's love" is only reserved for men. I, Yan Yuan, will never use it in my life. Zhang Ling, I must have misjudged you! Humph..."
"I..." Zhang Ling wanted to explain.
"No need to explain. Your behavior has already been explained." Yan Yuan curled his lips and said.
Zhang Ling was a little confused and said:
"What did I explain?"
Yan Yuan sneered in disappointment and said:
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect, Lingling, that you would even disregard our years of sisterhood for a man."
"Did I?"
Zhang Ling knew that Yan Yuan blamed her for not answering directly in the affirmative.
It's a bit like the wives and concubines in the backyard of a mansion complaining about an unfaithful lover.
"You do!" Yan Yuan said decisively, "Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts. What does it mean to choose or not to choose? That is an excuse you deliberately made because you wanted to stay in the first place."
Zhang Ling looked at Yan Yuan blankly, as if she had been struck into her thoughts.
Li Xiang felt warm in his heart when he heard Yan Yuan being aggressive towards Zhang Ling.
This is the duplicity of women.
I think Zhang Ling does have him in her subconscious.
Those negative emotions before were swept away instantly.
What he didn't expect was that things would take a new turn.
Yan Yuan came to him at this time and said angrily:
"Isn't that the one who plays Chen Jian's girlfriend? I agree to this. Just tell me how to play it."
This answer stunned Zhang Ling and Li Xiang.
Wasn't Yan Yuan extremely reluctant before?
Zhang Ling was suspicious and kindly persuaded her based on years of sisterly friendship:
"Yan Yuan, you can't suffer because I didn't promise you..."
"Tch, I'm very happy, okay? I remember that you and Mr. Li pretended to be a couple back then. It's only been a while now, and the two of you are as inseparable as one person. Why can't you come to me?"
Li Xiang felt happy listening to Yan Yuan's words.
It turns out that the relationship between them is like this in Yan Yuan's opinion.
"It's not...you..." Zhang Ling wanted to defend.
But for a moment I don’t know where to start?
Yan Yuan didn't wait for Li Xiang's reply, and said anxiously with obvious displeasure:
"Hey, you, a man, just give me a nice word, and you are just waiting for me to change my mind like this. Then I..."
"No, no, I'll say it, I'll say it." Li Xiang came back to his senses and became anxious.
After finally persuading Yan Yuan, he didn't want another accident to happen.
So he explained to Yan Yuan according to the plan agreed with Chen Jian last night.
Zhang Ling clearly saw Yan Yuan listening to the plan with great interest.
She seemed to suddenly understand.
I understand that Yan Yuan never really wanted to refuse.
Because she remembered Yan Yuan once expressed a point of view.
People never cherish what is too easy to get.
Men, especially, display this flaw vividly.
Therefore, women must understand the role of reserve at all times.
It turns out that she was tricked by Yan Yuan in the end.
In other words, Yan Yuan's personal experience showed her the role of reserve.
Li Xiang obviously paid more attention to Yan Yuan than when he first invited him.
Even more generous rewards were promised, including Coach's latest light blue bag.
Naturally, the reward includes the lipstick that Yan Yuan has always wanted.
For Yan Yuan, this is far more cost-effective than spending his own money to buy it directly.
You only need to act in one play to earn money.
By the way, you can also enjoy your drama addiction.
Because she often said that she had superb acting skills and was teased by God, doing a regular copywriting job.
I'm lucky enough to be able to unleash my natural acting skills.
Yan Yuan was extremely excited, so how could he simply refuse?
Zhang Ling hated herself for being careless and forgetting this.
He actually perfectly coordinated with Yan Yuan in a play.
Thinking of this, she looked at Yan Yuan and shook her head with a smile.
It’s not that I deny Yan Yuan’s approach, but I admire Yan Yuan from the bottom of my heart.
She would never be able to do what Yan Yuan did.
As the date for Chen Jian's blind date approaches, Li Xiang and Yan Yuan are still rehearsing endlessly.
One dislikes the other person for not explaining what he said clearly, and the other dislikes the other person for not expressing properly.
Sometimes they would keep arguing like a shrew cursing.
Zhang Ling was initially worried that the two would fight, so she stood up alertly to start a fight.
The more times it happened, the more she became numb.
Because she knew that Yan Yuan really wanted to play Chen Jian's girlfriend.
In other words, Yan Yuan has the intention to make a fake show and make it real.
So even if she tried to persuade Yan Yuan to stop acting, it would be useless.
Time often passes quickly amidst the noise.
Zhang Ling looked down at her watch more and more frequently.
Kindly remind Li Xiang that the time is almost up.
Li Xiang always smiled and declined over and over again:
"Not urgent!"
For a moment, it seemed as if she, Zhang Ling, could not wait to watch a show.
This made her very angry.
But we can't blatantly accuse Li of what he thinks.
I had to hide and drink tea alone with a sad face like a wronged child.
As she drank, she felt something was wrong.
Ask yourself what happened to her?
There was no reason to be angry over something that didn't seem to have much to do with her.
What's more, I'm still angry with Li Xiang.
Logically speaking, she was helping Yan Yuan.
Even if you want to be angry, you should be angry with Yan Yuan.
Maybe it's because the aura exuded by Zhang Ling is obviously different.
This was noticed by the attentive Li Xiang.
He turned around suddenly and found a trace of anger remaining on Zhang Ling's confused face.
Why do we say residual?
Because this trace of angry slave feeling is very full.
Just from this trace of anger, you can feel the anger she felt at her peak.
Especially those piercing eyes that you could tell were staring at him.
His body suddenly trembled as if he received a phone call.
Apparently something he said or done before made her angry.
After thinking about it, I don't have any clue.
He asked tentatively like he was caring for a patient:
"Zhang Ling, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Your face looks a little ugly. No, we can leave Chen Jian's matter alone. I'd better take you to the hospital for a checkup first."
While Li Xiang was talking, it was as if Zhang Ling had walked over.
Yan Yuan, who had been looking for the feeling of performing, also came to her in surprise.
"What? Zhang Ling, you are sick!"
The sudden attention caught her a little by surprise.
Looking at the two people swarming in front of her, she said with a smile:
"It's okay, it's okay. I just suddenly thought of my father. I was a little angry for no reason. My father always didn't take me to visit my mother."
"Well, uncle did go a bit too far in this regard," Yan Yuan said.
Li Xiang had been curious after hearing Yan Yuan's introduction that night when she fell into coma with a cold.
He looked at her today and suddenly made a bold guess:
"Zhang Ling, I feel like my uncle is hiding something."
He did not fully express his guess.
She was afraid that she would reveal that Zhang Ling believed that her mother, who had been dead for more than thirty years, was probably still alive.
Whether this incident is true or not, it will have a huge impact on a person.
I believe that few people will remain calm.
Zhang Ling was agitated because of the word "concealment".
My thoughts were flying as if I had opened Pandora's box.
All the words my father said about my mother were filtered in my mind.
Especially the scene where her father tells her the bad news about her mother is the most suspicious.
At that time, she was full of expectations and continued to ask her mother as before.
Because she knew that today was the day when her father promised to tell the truth.
But when her father heard her questioning, not only did he pretend to be confused at first, but after he felt that he could not answer the question, he suddenly stood up with a solemn look on his face.
Yes, especially the solemn look on my father's face.
Because she couldn't see any trace of sadness.
The problem lies here.
After informing her that her mother had passed away, her father used an excuse to pay homage to her mother at a specific time every year.
In the days before and after the memorial ceremony for her mother, Zhang Ling still couldn't see her father showing any sadness.
Sometimes she even sings "Sweet Honey", which is said to be my mother's favorite song.
Once Zhang Ling specifically asked:
"Dad, you just came back from paying homage to your mother and you sang this song by Teresa Teng. Do you think it's appropriate?"
The father's humming smile suddenly froze for a while before he accepted it and said:
"Daughter, you see the deceased has passed away. Paying tribute to your mother is just a memory of the deceased. But the living cannot stop living a good life just because an important relative has passed away."
Zhang Ling felt it was very reasonable and nodded repeatedly.
But the father continued with a smile:
"Even if your mother's spirit in heaven can see us. If she sees you and me living a miserable life every day, do you think she can feel at ease?"
"No way." She, who had been sensible since she was a child, came to the conclusion by thinking from someone else's perspective.
"Your mother must also hope that you and I can live a happy life every day."
Seeing Zhang Ling nod her head in agreement, her father concluded:
"So dad is humming a song according to your mom's wishes, but it's not too much."
This statement sounded really convincing to her at the time.
No matter how I think about it now, it feels like my father is just trying to justify his guilty conscience.
Yan Yuan saw Zhang Ling with a complicated face and asked again with a little worry:
"Lingling, are you really okay?"
"What can happen to me?" Zhang Ling then put on a calm smile, "I just suddenly remembered some things about my father in the past. Don't worry, it's okay."
Although Li Xiang confirmed his conjecture, looking at Zhang Ling's face, he felt uncomfortable continuing to ask.
I glanced at my watch and it was almost time for my appointment with Chen Jian.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the rapid ringing of his cell phone.
Li Xiang answered the call in public without evasion, and Chen Jian's urgent voice was heard first.
"Hey, brother, you promised that you would definitely help me get through this calamity. Now it's time. But now I can't even see you. You heartless guy, shouldn't you just ignore me?"
Listening to Chen Jian's complaints, Li Xiang said with an unhappy face:
"Oh, since you said that, I can only say sorry. By the way, I kindly helped you investigate that girl and she is indeed a good girl. Then I wish you a happy blind date in advance. Goodbye!"
"Don't, don't hang up! Isn't it okay that I was wrong?"
Although Li Xiang didn't see Chen Jian's anxious look, he saw Yan Yuan shaking her head at him and waving her hands.
It feels like he is obviously more afraid of Li Xiang not helping than Chen Jian.
Yan Yuan bowed her head and sat down with a little embarrassment in the strange looks between him and Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling approached Yan Yuan out of curiosity and asked quietly:
"Are you afraid that the play you have been rehearsing for a long time will end up with nothing to perform, or are you worried that Chen Jianzhen will marry the daughter of Master Miejie?"
"I was..."
Yan Yuan went through the problem in his mind.
She suddenly realized that no matter which answer she chose, she could not escape the fact that she had fallen in love with Chen Jian.
Zhang Ling saw with her own eyes that Yan Yuan's face was red and speechless, and she seemed to be more agitated than Yan Yuan himself.
She moved closer to Yan Yuan and whispered teasingly into her ear:
"No need to answer. Your blush has answered everything."
Yan Yuan acted like a little girl acting coquettishly next to her mother at this time.
His head was buried in Zhang Ling's arms, making a buzzing sound.
This voice confused Li Xiang, who had just hung up the phone with Chen Jian.
"Zhang Ling, what did Yan Yuan just say?"
Zhang Ling looked up at Li Xiang and shook her head with a smile:
"I can't say. Hey, why are you, a man, so concerned about the affairs of a girl's family?"
Li Xiang was complained for no reason, and with endless envy in his frustration, he sat aside and watched aggrievedly.
He envied when he could truly have a language with Zhang Ling.
If it weren't for the private room, Chen Jian burst in after a knock on the door.
Yan Yuan was still curled up in Zhang Ling's arms like a child.
Yes, Chen Jian knocked on the door and barged in.
You must know that Chen Jian's rudeness is usually only directed at Li Xiang, and the occasion is limited to the office where Li Xiang is located.
Please don't doubt Chen Jian's etiquette quality.
Others were hiding their ears, so Chen Jian covered his eyes and pretended not to be able to see. He glanced at Zhang Ling and the others and said:
"I... I'm sorry, I didn't see anything. You continue. I'm leaving now... Yes, I didn't enter the wrong private room."
Chen Jian did not see Li Xiang immediately, but was the first to see the scene between Zhang Ling and Yan Yuan.
Only after seeing Li Xiang's figure did he react.
Then, he exposed a crack in his fingers and complained loudly:
"Li Xiang, you hurt me!"
To be honest, the moment Chen Jian saw Yan Yuan present, he wanted to turn around and leave the private room immediately.
Because he had just been discharged from the hospital not long ago, he did not want to go in again today.
Even if it's to avoid a blind date, I don't want to.
In Chen Jian's opinion, the horror of a blind date is far less than that of the terrifying Yan Yuan.
Li Xiang glanced at Zhang Ling and the others, and pretended to be innocent and explained to Chen Jian:
"What have I done to you?"
He deliberately asked Yan Yuan to play Chen Jian's girlfriend.
