Frankly speaking, she has lived for more than twenty years and has never met anyone else with this surname except Lin Xuyue. Maybe she didn't pay attention.
Jiang Ningyu didn't think too much about this coincidence. Her eyes stayed on the head of household column for two seconds, then moved away and signed her name.
Two days later, Jiang Ningyu and the others went to Suzhou for a half-day team building trip. It was the time to eat three shrimp noodles, so the boss took them to an old restaurant that specializes in three shrimp feasts.
The boss is from Suzhou. During the team building process, he talked about how famous Suzhou's three shrimps are. Especially this restaurant that he has loved eating since he was a child. Jiang Ningyu looked at the scenery outside the window and remembered that he came here many years ago.
The ginkgo biloba swaying in the wind and the bustling market that passed by here are now completely forgotten.
The private room was decorated in Su's classical style and the private room was bright and bright. They sat at two tables, and when people started to enter one after another, someone suddenly said "Hey" in surprise, "Isn't that someone from GS Investment Bank? We played together before.
Qiu, let me go say hello."
Jiang Ningyu's eyelids twitched. When she went to the bathroom, she couldn't help but glance at the box. Fortunately, they were all unfamiliar faces and she didn't see Lin Xuyue.
GS has so many departments and so many groups, how can it be so easy to happen by chance?
She comforted herself. After lunch, the two groups met again in the lobby. Liao Zeqing was the first to see her, and he was surprised and happy to greet her.
He is eng. I think that person must be gone.
Jiang Ningyu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him, "Are you offsite too?"
"Well, I went to Jiming Temple in the morning." Liao Zeqing greeted her for a few words, then pulled her aside and asked a little coyly, "Well, your friend from last time, can you push her WeChat account to me?"
Jiang Ningyu pretended to be stupid, "Which one?"
"Weiwei, the one named Weiwei."
Noticing Liao Zeqing's slightly red face, Jiang Ningyu was embarrassed to refuse her, so she could only say, "She usually doesn't add people she doesn't know. Let me ask you first."
"Okay, thank you." Liao Zeqing took out his phone gratefully, "How about we add a friend first?"
She readily agreed.
"By the way." Liao Zeqing seemed to have remembered something, "Lu Li hasn't come to the company these two days, do you know why he went there?"
Jiang Ningyu was stunned by his question, "I don't know."
"Oh, when I passed by his work station yesterday, I found that there were so many express packages piled up that I almost couldn't fit them in."
After chatting for a while, they got on the bus and separated.
Jiang Ningyu leaned against the window in a daze. She took out her phone for a long time and sent a message to Li Weiwei——
[I met Liao Zeqing just now. He wanted to chase you in a script. He wants your WeChat account. Do you want to give it to him~]
Then click on Lu Li's avatar and exit. Click on it again and exit again.
The feeling of hesitation is like the opening and closing of emotion and rationality.
Finally, the colleague sitting diagonally behind her couldn't help it anymore, "Ningyu, how about I send it to you? I see you clicked on this person's profile picture several times, aren't you tired?"
Only then did she express her concern in the suddenly light atmosphere: [Have you not been to the company in the past two days? 】
Then he turned his head and said with a helpless smile, "You don't care about martial ethics, but you actually peeked at my screen."
"No~ I just saw it." The colleague laughed loudly, "You look just like me before we fell in love. You want to find him but you don't dare to."
Before Jiang Ningyu could deny it, the others became enthusiastic, "Who? Ningyu is in love?"
"Is it the one where the birthday blessing happened last time?"
Amidst the bustle of chatter, a glance came over silently. Seeing Chen Che's gloomy eyes, she decided to shut up and let others tease her without explaining.
Not long after, Lu Li replied to her: [I accompanied Lin Xuyue back to her hometown. How did you know? 】
Jiang Ningyu was startled, and subconsciously typed a few words in the input box. After hesitating for a while, she exited. Li Weiwei didn't reply, wondering if she was busy.
She squeezed the time and waited for half an hour before replying: [I met Liao Zeqing and said that there were a lot of express delivery piled up at your work station.]
She didn't ask anything else, but Lu Li took the initiative and said: [Lin Xuyue's grandma passed away three days ago, in Suzhou.]
He said this, obviously knowing that Liao Zeqing's group came to Suzhou to build a team.
Jiang Ningyu was stunned.
During the period when their relationship was very good, Lin Xuyue told her about his grandmother, a stubborn old professor from the old days who kept his grandfather under strict control and was obedient. He grew up in Suzhou when he was a child.
, my childhood was filled with the shadow of my grandparents, and I have deep feelings.
Three days ago…
[Playing the script to kill the day...] Jiang Ningyu pursed her lips and typed.
[Well, it was midnight that day. In fact, Xuyue had visited the old couple half a month ago, and they said they were in good health. In fact, they had hidden it from him for a long time, just for fear that he would worry. 】
[He has been guarding the mourning hall for the past two days and has not come out. He must be feeling very guilty.]
Every word fell on Jiang Ningyu's heart. She felt a kind of heaviness.
——It suddenly occurred to me that I have never apologized to you properly. I'm sorry. I know it's been a long time and everyone is no longer a child, so you may not care about it anymore. But I just want to say, thank you for who you were then.
I'm also very sorry for you at that time. I believe that good people will be rewarded.
Thinking of how she was reminding him of his unbearable past while he was anxiously rushing to his hometown in the middle of the night three days ago, Jiang Ningyu felt so annoyed that she wanted to punch herself.
【Where is it in Suzhou?】
After subconsciously pressing this sentence, Jiang Ningyu suddenly came back to her senses and immediately clicked withdraw.
This question shouldn't be asked. So what if it is asked? Is it possible to chase him and comfort him? Don't be ridiculous, why do you do something that is not welcomed by others.
However, Lu Li probably saw that sentence and quickly sent a location.
He also said: [It doesn’t matter if you come, he hasn’t eaten much in the past two days.]
"..."
Did she say she went?
The four words "I'm just asking" were repeatedly typed and deleted in the input box. Finally, Jiang Ningyu gritted her teeth and lost her face and decided to go for a walk with a shy face.
The worst thing is... just leave again.
Jiang Ningyu pinched her face, yes, it still has a certain thickness.
There is an advantage to making a decision quickly. It means there is no room for regret.
After the team building was over, Jiang Ningyu did not return with the large team, but took a taxi to Lu Lifa's address. In the villa area with pink walls and black tiles, one could see at a glance that there were funeral objects placed in front of a certain house, and several cars parked along the wall.
From time to time, people come in to express their condolences.
Jiang Ningyu got out of the car, hid in a corner, opened the red paper she just bought, wrapped a few sheets of Mao Zedong, sealed them, and then went in.
As soon as you enter, it feels like a mansion of a wealthy family, but there are frivolous things hanging everywhere, making it look dilapidated and desolate.
Thinking about it afterwards, Jiang Ningyu was really ashamed of her sudden and brutal growth of courage.
She followed the gravel path into the side hall, and saw several elders sitting inside. They were all dressed in plain clothes, their brows were furrowed, and they didn't know what they were discussing. The atmosphere was a bit heavy.
