Zhang Ling hurriedly started calling one by one to confirm the safety of relatives and friends in the photos.
and gave a certain degree of reminder.
certainly!
She also called Yan Yuan.
I just felt a little embarrassed during the phone call with Yan Yuan.
She also asked in passing what progress was made between Yan Yuan and Chen Jian?
Yan Yuan said "It's okay" obviously weakly.
Are you really okay?
Zhang Ling obviously felt that Yan Yuan was not good.
Considering that there is still a Wuman in front of me.
So I didn’t continue to inquire further.
When confirming that everyone in the photo is currently safe.
Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief.
As for Li Xiang...
On the one hand, she considered that Li Xiang had adjusted his safety level since the last car accident.
To Li Xiang, this kind of threat is just a small matter.
On the other hand, Zhang Ling didn't want Li Xiang to know that she had no intention of entertaining relatives and friends.
I haven't thought about explaining my concerns to Li Xiang yet.
So I can only wait until she thinks about it before calling to inquire about the situation.
Yes!
What Wu Man said is absolutely correct.
Zhang Ling actually forgot that the most important thing at the moment was the engagement party.
what to do?
If she continues to follow her previous ideas.
Went to an engagement party alone.
Then these people in the photo are bound to become her biggest weakness.
Furthermore, at the banquet, you will be in a passive and unable to fight back situation at any time.
Think about it.
Zhang Ling feels that there is probably only one safest way at the moment.
That is to follow Li Xiang’s advice.
It was decided that everyone in the photo Zhang Yu sent would be invited to the engagement party.
Presumably the old patriarch must be concerned about his reputation.
He would never allow anyone to do anything that would endanger the guests at the engagement banquet at his mansion.
Even though the old patriarch couldn't care enough about the safety of Zhang Ling's relatives and friends.
Then she is also willing to believe that Li Xiang must be able to do it.
This kind of trust seems to be innate.
Li Xiang seemed to feel Zhang Ling's absolute trust in him.
So when I received the call from Zhang Ling, I was filled with an uncontrollable smile.
"What a coincidence! I was thinking of calling you, but I didn't expect you to call me first."
Zhang Ling smiled and replied with "glib tongue".
Li Xiang quickly argued:
"O conscience of heaven and earth! Everything I say is true. Why don't you believe me?"
Zhang Ling said:
"Okay, okay, I believe you should be able to do it."
A burst of Li Xiang's silly laughter came from the receiver.
Zhang Ling then pretended to be unhappy and said:
"I heard that you also invited Shangguan Aoxue to the engagement banquet. This is..."
Li Xiang explained immediately before Zhang Ling finished speaking:
"Don't get me wrong! Shangguan Aoxue invited me in the name of my family. This is a business invitation, not my personal behavior."
"Oh, is it so?"
How could Zhang Ling not know this?
But she just couldn't help but want to ask.
Then, listen to the answer that has become the standard answer.
Li Xiang said "hmm" twice and continued:
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I can guarantee that I will be yours alone. I will never give another glance to anyone of the opposite sex."
Zhang Ling felt a lot more at ease after hearing these words.
With a bright smile on her face she said:
"Okay, okay! People believe you. But you must remember what you just said."
Zhang Ling's words were heard by Wu Man on the side.
Wu Man looked at Zhang Ling with envy and said, "That's great."
Zhang Ling, on the other hand, looked a bit shy and said nothing.
at this time!
Li Xiang asked with a somewhat anxious tone:
"Zhang Ling, it's only a few hours before the engagement party. Have you made a list of the relatives and friends you need to invite?"
Zhang Ling immediately restrained her smile after hearing this.
Deliberately showing a calm and serious attitude, he replied:
"It's ready. Do you want me to dictate it to you now, or do you want me to send you an email later?"
Li wanted to say:
"Then send the email."
Zhang Ling said with a bit of complaint:
"I was thinking of just telling you orally. Alas, I have to go to the trouble of sending you an email."
After hearing this, Li Xiang said in a pleading tone:
"Don't be like this! People do this for a reason."
Zhang Ling asked:
"what reason?"
Li Xiang then said with a serious attitude:
"I have an important meeting to host later. Time is limited. I don't want to miss the opportunity to talk to you just because of a list. What's more, you took the initiative to call me this time."
Zhang Ling heard this.
Joy quickly filled his whole chest.
Then it quickly activated every cell in the body like a flood bursting its banks.
So she tried her best to restrain her uncontrollable smile and said:
"You are getting better and better at talking. You must have learned these from Chen Jian. Let me tell you, I don't like these."
She mainly wanted to express that she disliked Chen Jian very much.
Li Xiang said with confusion on his face:
"I don't understand. Why do you say that I learned how to speak from Chen Jian? You must have misunderstood me. Can't I teach myself for you?"
Zhang Ling didn’t want to dwell too much on this and said:
"Okay! Let's not talk about it anymore. Let me tell you something. I just met Zhang Yu. He is my high school classmate. You have met him before."
Li Xiang immediately asked worriedly:
"Quickly, tell me quickly. He didn't do anything to hurt you."
Listen to his worried tone.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up in a graceful arc of happiness.
"No. He just said something that I didn't understand in person. Then he gave me a bunch of photos."
Li Xiang was very interested in the photo and asked:
"What picture?"
Zhang Ling then truthfully informed Li Xiang of the content of the photo.
But Li Xiang didn't go as she expected.
Those who share the same hatred said a few words of comfort to her, such as "I want the other person to look good."
Instead, he said calmly:
"Oh, as long as you are okay, then I'll be relieved."
Zhang Ling asked obviously unhappy:
"After listening to this, is this all you want to say to me?"
Li Xiang realized Zhang Ling was unhappy.
But he just didn't take it seriously.
He still said in the same tone as before:
"It seems you want to hear something else? Zhang Ling, tell me what you want to hear. As long as you say it, I will definitely tell you what you want."
Zhang Ling's face became even more gloomy and she said:
"No need!"
After hearing this, Li Xiang immediately panicked and said:
"Don't bother! I hear what you mean. Did I say the wrong thing again?"
Zhang Ling said calmly:
"No. Aren't you going to chair the meeting next? Go quickly. Don't let people wait for you too long. Then we..."
Li Xiang heard what Zhang Ling wanted to say to hang up the phone.
He is not a person who gives up easily.
So Li Xiang's almost roaring voice came from Zhang Ling's receiver.
"Wait a minute! Zhang Ling, please speak clearly. If I am really wrong! Say it and I will change it. Can we not do this?"
Wu Man remained silent.
Seeing Zhang Ling, she wanted to hang up the phone mercilessly.
So he reached out and grabbed Zhang Ling's wrist in time and said:
"Wait a minute. Zhang Ling, you haven't forgotten, have you? After the engagement party tonight, you will officially become Li Xiang's fiancée."
Zhang Ling said with a bit of stubbornness:
"So what?"
Wu Man gestured to Zhang Ling to take a look at the photo sent by Zhang Yu and said:
"I know you are not a willful person. I won't say anything more. You can weigh it yourself."
Just say it.
Wu Man immediately withdrew his hand.
Only then did he wake up and slowly pick up the phone again and start saying:
"Hey, Li Xiang, of course I can speak clearly. But there is one thing you must be clear about. I, Zhang Ling..."
As soon as she said this, she heard the sound of hanging up from the receiver of her mobile phone.
Zhang Ling looked at her phone in disbelief.
This was the first time that Li Xiang took the initiative to hang up the phone on her.
Wu Man looked at Zhang Ling sighing.
I also felt uncomfortable in my heart.
When she heard Zhang Ling muttering about Li Xiangdare, he hung up the phone.
Then he shook his head and sighed:
"What's there to complain about? I've asked you to hang up the phone every time. That's a sign of respect for you."
"I know."
"But if you ruthlessly trample on other people's respect for you, that means you have no right to complain."
"Hey, Wu Man..."
Zhang Ling wants to say that they are good friends.
Why did she have to turn her elbows outward to speak for Li Xiang?
But Zhang Ling's questioning words had not yet been uttered.
Wu Man's voice was obviously twice as high as she interrupted Zhang Ling and continued:
"You don't have to speak! I know what you want to say?"
Zhang Ling remained skeptical and asked:
"you know?"
Wu Man nodded slightly and continued:
"But Zhang Ling, you must know. I, Wu Man, have always been a person who helps with marriage rather than marriage. No matter how good our relationship is, as long as your words and deeds are wrong, I will not help you."
Zhang Ling said with a somewhat bitter smile:
"Okay, very good, you are really good!"
She was sincerely praising Wuman for his principled approach.
I have always liked principled people.
Today, inexplicably, she felt a strong dislike for Wu Man in her heart.
Wu Man seemed to be sensitive to the negative emotions coming from Zhang Ling.
So his face became much more solemn than before and he said:
"I know you don't like to hear what I just said."
Zhang Ling looked at Wu Man, her eyes widened and she said "uh".
Wu Man ignored her reaction and continued:
"But as a friend I still want to tell you."
Zhang Ling pretended to be calm and said:
"You said it. I'm listening."
In fact, she had already developed a strong feeling of rejection towards Wu Man in her heart.
But the working habits developed over the years.
Let her feel repulsive.
You can also calm down and observe and analyze the other person's words and deeds.
Wu Man couldn't see it.
So I still said to Zhang Ling as always:
"I can see that Li Xiang's feelings for you Zhang Ling are definitely true."
Zhang Ling laughed after hearing this.
But not a word was said.
Watching with expectant eyes.
Let’s see what Wu Man will say next?
Wu Man changed the subject and continued:
"It's just my intuition telling me that she seems to be hiding something from you? But please don't worry. This kind of concealment has absolutely no ill intentions towards you."
Zhang Ling was shocked!
Because Wu Man’s words were what she had always felt.
But I heard this from Wu Man’s mouth.
It felt like someone was reading her inner monologue with emotion.
It's not just an immersive feeling.
And shocking!
It is a shock to the soul.
She temporarily restrained the restlessness in her heart.
No verbal expression was made.
He just nodded and let Wu Man continue.
"I think based on Li Xiang's love for you, this concealment shouldn't last too long. I believe you will soon fully understand Li Xiang's love for you."
She can say this.
It's not that Wu Man really has a close telepathy with Zhang Ling.
It's because Wu Man had seen the old lady's investigation of Li Xiang before coming here.
It was learned that the Li Xiang that Zhang Ling knew in front of her was just a stand-in for the real Li Xiang.
Maybe the old lady doesn’t object to Zhang Ling’s relationship with Li Xiang.
That's why I asked Wu Man not to disclose the contents of Li Xiang's investigation report to Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling asked with some confusion:
"how do you know?"
Wu Man smiled and excused himself with the excuse of "intuition".
Zhang Ling paused for a moment.
I knew Wu Man didn’t want to say it.
She pretended to know everything and said:
"Even if you don't tell me, I know it. It's just because of Li Xiang."
Wu Man was momentarily frightened by Zhang Ling's expression.
She misunderstood that Wu Man and Li Xiang had some ulterior secrets in private.
And this secret is only for Zhang Ling.
So he explained to Zhang Ling in a slightly anxious tone:
"I feel like you have some misunderstanding about me? No, Zhang Ling, please believe me. So far, I have never been alone with Li Xiang."
After hearing this, Zhang Ling let out a weird laugh.
The laughter sounds a bit like the ghosts who died unjustly in horror movies.
Wu Man couldn't help having a cold war and said to Zhang Ling:
"Why are you laughing? Everything I said is true. Oh, you..."
Zhang Ling said before Wu Man could explain further:
"Okay! Look how nervous you are. I just wanted to laugh. But when you asked me this, it seemed like I couldn't laugh."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No..."
Wu Man was stunned by Zhang Ling's words.
She really didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Jean felt that whatever she said (or did) was wrong.
Zhang Ling raised her hand and glanced at her watch, then slowly stood up and said to Wu Man:
"Oh my God, it's already this time. Today has gone far beyond my normal meal time. I've eaten well and will go back to the office now. What about you? If you haven't eaten well, continue..."
Zhang Ling didn't finish her words.
Wu Man still had many questions in his mind.
So I didn't want to let Zhang Ling leave easily, so I got up immediately.
At the same time, he reached out and grabbed Zhang Ling's arm and said:
"Wait a minute. I've finished eating too. How about we go together."
Zhang Ling saw Wu Man's little thoughts.
This is because I want to find another opportunity to continue to explain to her the misunderstanding just now.
It seemed like this was what she wanted.
This feeling of being valued by friends.
So he smiled and nodded without saying anything else.
Zhang Ling left the restaurant in a hurry.
It's not because I'm busy with work.
Instead, he was going to take the initiative to mention the engagement party tonight to his father.
Then discuss with your father the list of people to attend the engagement party.
And conveniently sent the list to Li Xiang.
when!
After the list matter is settled smoothly.
Her anxious mood had calmed down a lot for the time being.
However, when she mentioned that there was an engagement party between her and Li Xiang tonight.
Zhang Ling felt that her father's reaction was a little abnormal.
Because Zhang Ling originally thought that her father would be very angry because of her deliberate concealment.
did not expect!
Not only did my father not show any sign of anger.
On the contrary, I could hear excitement and joy in my father's tone.
It’s the kind of joy you feel when your daughter, whom you thought was a blessing in disguise, finally gets married.
to this end!
Zhang Ling asked again if she was her father's biological daughter?
The answer is already known.
But again, it didn't sound as angry as before.
On the contrary, the whole person is filled with happiness and joy.
