There is still an hour and a half left before the engagement party.
The old patriarch seemed to be afraid that Zhang Ling would break the appointment.
Once again, the old housekeeper was sent to personally pick up Zhang Ling and her family.
The father accepted the generous betrothal gift brought by the old housekeeper.
Then they rushed to the engagement party together.
As soon as I went out, I saw a queue of six cars parked neatly on the road.
The old butler arranged for everyone to get in the car.
The motorcade drove on the road with great force accompanied by the sound of firecrackers.
I had already made an agreement with Li Wanwan.
After he picked up Xiaodouzi, they went to the engagement party together.
I don’t know what happened temporarily?
Li Xiang actually asked the old housekeeper to send Xiaodouzi back to Zhang Ling.
So Zhang Ling asked the old housekeeper where Li wanted to go?
The old housekeeper replied respectfully as always:
"As for the wife of the clan leader, the clan leader has to worship the ancestors before setting off according to the rules. Madam, please don't worry. She will not miss the engagement banquet."
In fact, Li Xiang had already completed the ancestor worship ceremony at noon in order to rush for time.
But in the afternoon, just as I was about to get off work, I received a call from Zhen Li Xiang.
Let’s talk about tonight’s engagement party.
Some things must be explained to Li Xiang in person.
Ask him to go back to the villa immediately.
Li Xiang had no choice but to comply due to his status as a substitute.
Zhang Ling thought, who could be more important than their engagement party?
You have to go at this time!
Zhang Ling took out her phone and glanced at the screen.
No words from Li Xiang were found.
She was obviously unhappy!
Because he thought Li Xiang would come to pick her up even if he couldn't fulfill his contract.
At least give her a call (send a message) and tell her.,
She's not the unreasonable kind of person.
You must stop her from going.
She hates the kind of people who can clearly explain their replies but deliberately fail to explain their replies.
Little did they know that this was not because Li Xiang was unwilling to reveal it to her in advance.
It's just that Li Xiang used some means to not allow Li Xiang to reveal it.
In fact, Li Xiang was very anxious because he could not explain to Zhang Ling.
I was worried that Zhang Ling would intensify her conflict with him.
The father on the side saw Zhang Ling’s thoughts and said:
"As a man! It's understandable that you focus on your career. Zhang Ling, you can't be petty and unhappy about this kind of thing."
certainly!
My father's words were also meant for the old housekeeper.
Mainly I want to express that Zhang Ling is a woman with an excellent family education.
Zhang Ling saw that her father was talking about this.
No matter how much resentment she has in her heart.
Naturally, it was impossible to continue questioning.
at this time!
Xiaodouzi asked with some confusion:
"Mom, they all say today is a good day for you. But where is Aunt Yan Yuan? Xiaodouzi hasn't seen her for several days. Isn't she coming today?"
Zhang Ling remembered before getting in the car.
Yan Yuan was stubborn and insisted on calling a car alone.
There was nothing she could do about this stubbornness.
She didn't want Xiaodouzi to get involved in adults' disputes for no reason.
I really don’t know how to tell my children for a while?
Wu Man on the side saw Zhang Ling's dilemma.
He immediately stepped forward to pick up the conversation and said:
"Xiaodouzi, your Aunt Yan Yuan has something to do today. She won't be able to join us in time."
Xiaodouzi said "oh" with a bit of disgust on his face.
That's because Wu Man did something that annoyed Xiaodouzi.
That is, because there happened to be no eggs at home in the morning.
My father only made one egg custard.
I forgot to inform you in advance before eating.
Unaware of the situation, Wu Man ate the egg custard prepared for Xiaodouzi.
At that time, although Xiaodouzi did not care too much about Wuman openly.
But he still harbored hostility towards Wu Man in his heart.
But now Wu Man has noticed that Xiaodouzi is abnormal.
Know that Xiaodouzi is the center of this home.
It is also to be able to stay in this home and complete the tasks assigned by the old lady.
So she continued to maintain a kind smile and explained to Xiaodouzi:
"But what? Xiaodouzi, you don't have to worry at all. We will see your Aunt Yan Yuan when we get there."
Xiaodouzi finished listening.
There was no response to Wuman.
Zhang Ling turned to look aside and continued to ask:
"Mom, is this really the case?"
Wu Man said with some displeasure:
"This kid is real! Why don't you believe me?"
Children's thinking patterns are generally very simple.
Who treats her well?
Who is a good person in her eyes.
Wu Man snatched her food.
In my heart, I already regarded Wu Man as a bad person.
How can you trust bad people?
Zhang Ling reached out and touched her little face, nodded and said:
"Xiaodouzi, you can't be so rude to your Aunt Wuman. Have you forgotten what your mother usually taught you?"
Xiaodouzi would not ruin the well-behaved and sensible image she had established in front of Zhang Ling.
Naturally, I had to suppress the hostility in my heart towards Wu Man and apologize.
But Xiaodouzi even apologized.
Wu Man cannot be easily classified as a good person by Xiaodouzi.
at the same time.
Yan Yuan got into a taxi without a license plate without paying attention.
The driver lowered his head slightly while wearing a mask, and deliberately lowered the brim of his cap before asking:
"Hello, lady, where are you going?"
Yan Yuan had no energy to notice anything unusual about the driver.
As soon as I got in the car, I looked out the window at Zhang Ling and their car as they drove away.
She was thinking about one thing unhappily.
I thought she had completely broken up with Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling will leave because of her.
As a result, you will be depressed for a long time.
Because her mood is depressed.
But she didn't expect that Zhang Ling would quickly make a new friend.
Especially when I saw Zhang Ling and Wu Man talking and laughing.
Yan Yuan couldn't hold himself any longer.
So the moment I got into the taxi, I shed tears of sadness and loss.
Why?
Could it be that Yan Yuan's position in Zhang Ling's mind is...
It was far from being as high as she expected and unattainable to outsiders.
wrong!
It seems like she was really wrong.
Maybe Yan Yuan's position in Zhang Ling's mind is not that high.
That's why someone took her place so quickly.
After the driver asked "Where to go?"
Haven't heard any response for a long time.
So I asked again urgently.
This time Yan Yuan finally came to his senses and told Zhang Ling the address he had mentioned before leaving.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the driver heard the address, a cunning smile flashed across his face, and then he pretended to be calm and said:
"Okay, please fasten your seat belt. We..."
Yan Yuan fastened her seat belt without saying a word.
at first!
The car was still driving in the direction Zhang Ling left.
After passing two intersections, the direction suddenly changed.
The change of direction did not make Yan Yuan aware that something was wrong.
Instead, Yan Yuan felt tired and closed her eyes.
Plan to take a nap.
Maybe I slept too late last night because Chen Jian had insomnia again!
To be honest, Yan Yuan herself felt very confused.
I think of her as a well-known love expert who has been in love for many years.
Often in every relationship she is dumping someone else.
Even if you occasionally have an experience of being dumped and being hurt.
She would also forget about it when she turned around because of her unique amnesia.
But Chen Jian seems to be her special case.
And a cure for her amnesia.
In her memory, Chen Jian hurt her again and again.
And her unique amnesia seems to have been cured because of Chen Jian's injury.
He was so possessed that he rushed to pester Chen Jian.
Then he was ravaged by Chen Jian and his first love.
sometimes.
Even she herself despised this kind of entanglement as too humble and undignified.
I have silently made up my mind more than once.
You must restrain yourself and stop pestering Chen Jian.
But every time her normal working hours are over.
Her body is like a puppet.
Someone who was manipulated by someone unknown appeared in front of Chen Jian again and again.
What's even more outrageous is that she would insist on being with Chen Jian.
He impulsively made a ridiculous act of breaking up with Zhang Ling.
to be honest.
Yan Yuan had already regretted it and wanted to rush to Zhang Ling to admit this ridiculous mistake.
But every time I wander near Zhang Ling’s house.
Yan Yuan didn't even have enough courage to step into Zhang Ling's house.
I was even lucky enough to run away when I met Zhang Pengtian.
It felt like I had done something bad and was worried about being caught.
to this end!
Her father still complained in front of Zhang Ling and said:
"Zhang Ling, what happened between you and Yan Yuan recently? I just met Yan Yuan downstairs. When that girl heard me calling her, she ran away without looking back."
Zhang Ling replied slightly hesitantly:
"This is impossible! Yan Yuan has always been the most greedy for your delicious food. How dare you do such a thing? She won't want to eat your delicious food anymore, right? So it must be your old eyesight that makes a mistake."
The father's face was filled with a proud smile.
For the time being, I think what Zhang Ling said is very reasonable.
He just turned around and left without walking a few steps.
Suddenly he realized something and quickly turned around and said:
"That's not right! This is not normal! Even if I identify the wrong person, that person will not run away."
Zhang Ling is even more convinced that she is a father.
After thinking for a moment, I made up a reason:
"Then the women you saw were probably thieves and bad guys. They must have been worried about being exposed by you, so they ran away."
Never thought about it!
Reasons Zhang Ling made up casually.
The enthusiastic father hurriedly went out to find the street police station to report the situation.
It is said that he is bound to nip all evil in the cradle.
Yan Yuan closed his eyes.
My mind began to replay the recent past like a movie.
As tears rolled down her delicate cheeks.
It caused obvious discomfort on the face.
It was also because she really didn't want outsiders to see her crying.
She tried to raise her hands to wipe away the traces of tears on her face.
unexpectedly!
Her arm felt as if it had been filled with lead and was so heavy that she could not lift it.
Even controlling the movements of my fingers is very difficult.
She was a little panicked and wanted to open her eyes and speak.
But the eyelids also seemed to be stuck together with glue and could not be opened.
Although the mouth can be opened.
But she can only make a sound smaller than a mosquito.
Only then did Yan Yuan remember Zhang Ling's kind reminder to her at noon.
At that time, she directly criticized Zhang Ling and said that they had broken up.
There's no way those people would do anything to her.
She also told Zhang Ling rudely to stop worrying about bothering her with phone calls.
Because Yan Yuan was not far away from Chen Jian at that time.
Quietly watching the other party showing affection to Heyuan.
really!
The IQ of a woman in love is worrying.
The IQ of a woman in unrequited love is even more worrying!
She was careless.
Unexpectedly, she was still targeted.
what to do?
Self-rescue is temporarily impossible.
Now Yan Yuan can only silently pray that Zhang Ling can come to rescue her as soon as possible.
The front door of the mansion.
The old housekeeper got out of the car first and helped Zhang Ling open the door.
Zhang Ling walked out in front of everyone's attention.
She quickly scanned everyone around her.
No trace of Li Xiang was found.
She asked the old housekeeper with some concern:
"Uncle
Some outsiders heard what Zhang Ling said.
He even unkindly said that Zhang Ling placed the family tree of the patriarch's wife at the door of the old patriarch's house before he even came through.
The clan leader had to come forward to welcome her in person.
Everyone, big or small, ignored the existence of the old patriarch.
Because in the center of the welcoming crowd stood the old patriarch.
It stands to reason that when Zhang Ling sees the old patriarch, she must take the initiative to say hello to him.
at this time.
The old housekeeper didn't answer her question immediately.
He reminded Zhang Ling with seemingly good intentions:
"Mrs. Patriarch, there are so many people watching. We will discuss the matter of the Patriarch later. According to the rules, you must pay your respects to the old Patriarch now."
Zhang Ling glanced at the old patriarch in the distance.
Unmoved.
Because Li wanted to make a promise to her before stepping into the old patriarch's mansion.
He will definitely stay with Zhang Ling throughout the whole process.
Li Xiang kept breaking appointments one after another.
Caused her to reconsider whether to cancel the engagement party?
Even if Xiaodouzi has to bear a huge amount of liquidated damages, he will not hesitate.
While she was hesitating.
The neighbors who had watched her grow up came to the door of the mansion one after another.
Zhang Ling completely ignored the old housekeeper's reminder.
Smiling, he turned around and greeted the inviting neighbors.
Every time a car got off, many members of the Li family would sigh and express disgust.
Some people even blatantly suggested that today's Li family's engagement banquet actually turned into a relief banquet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The main purpose is to let Zhang Ling’s poor relatives and friends see the world.
It's also because of these derogatory words.
The old housekeeper on the side repeatedly invited the neighbors who had arrived to go in first.
But what about Zhang Ling’s neighbors?
Because of those repulsive looks and derogatory words, everyone was too timid to walk into the mansion.
It felt like there were countless snakes, rats and beasts in the old patriarch's mansion.
Anyone who accidentally walks in will become food for snakes, rats and beasts.
So all the neighbors spontaneously accompanied Zhang Ling to wait for others.
Li Pan is different from those of the Li family.
After seeing everyone in the Li family watching as if they were watching a show.
It felt like Zhang Ling's arrival had nothing to do with the Li family.
So Li Pan couldn't bear to come to Zhang Ling's side.
Help receive Zhang Ling’s neighbors.
Wait until all the neighbors have arrived.
Then he followed Zhang Ling into the mansion.
This spontaneous grouping behavior aroused the ridicule of many people.
Said these are poor people like Zhang Ling.
This is the greatest confidence I currently have to enter the mansion.
Some people like Shangguan Aoxue think they have noble blood.
When they saw Zhang Ling, more and more neighbors gathered together.
Gradually, a strong desire to leave immediately emerged in my heart.
Just because it was considered that this was an engagement banquet held by the old patriarch of the Li family who could not afford to offend.
So I could only hold a handkerchief and pinch my nose to endure it.
Pinch your nose!
That's because I'm afraid of inhaling too much the sour smell of poverty.
The aristocratic blood flowing through him will be stained with the lingering sour taste of poverty.
Zhang Ling because of those repulsive looks and derogatory remarks.
I sincerely apologized to the neighbors who arrived.
The elders in the neighborhood comforted each other with smiles on their faces and said:
"Son, as long as that young man Li Xiang is really nice to you, that's fine. It's okay for us old guys to feel a little wronged."
Zhang Ling shed tears of emotion on her face.
I think about the friendship between my neighbors.
They are basically no different from their biological parents.
before.
Zhang Ling once felt inferior to her grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters.
