A few people were carrying their things and preparing to go home. Miao Jian walked through rows of display windows and happened to pass by a bakery. She suddenly felt greedy.
She hasn't eaten chocolate cake for a long time.
Miao Jian stood at the door of the bakery and was stunned for a moment. She also paused in her steps. She looked at the very exquisite small cakes displayed in the window inside and her mouth watered.
Wu Yuanshu knew that Miao Jian liked to eat small cakes. In the past, when she bought a large bag of snacks to the classroom, she would occasionally buy one or two chocolate-flavored Orions. Miao Jian basically did not eat Wu Yuanshu's snacks. She was the only one who bought that one.
I only eat one or two when I have small cakes.
"Let's go in and take a look." Wu Yuanshu stepped forward and pushed open the glass door of the baking shop and walked in first.
Miao Jian thought for a moment about Fei Yi behind her, and restrained herself from looking back at him. Watching Wu Yuanshu go in, she followed suit.
As soon as Miao Jian walked in, the rich and sweet smell of cake hit her face, stimulating Miao Jian's taste buds.
Miao Jian drooled. She bit her front teeth, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and lowered her head to look at the small cakes.
She loves chocolate-flavored food the most, and she never gets tired of it no matter how much she eats.
But that's a bit exaggerated, because she doesn't eat many chocolate-flavored cakes because she's afraid of getting fat.
Miao Jian carefully pressed her hand on the glass display window and swept her eyes row by row, looking for the cake she liked.
While walking, a person passed by Miao Jian. Miao Jian glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and felt that he looked particularly familiar. When he turned around and looked again, it was Ah Nuan.
A Nuan didn't notice Miao Jian. She looked down at the cakes one after another, then pointed to a mango-flavored one and called the waiter.
The waiter came over and took out the cake with a tong, carefully put it into the box, and then took it to the cashier to pay.
Ah Nuan's eyes were always on Little Cake, and she didn't notice that Miao Jian had been staring at her.
Until Miao Jian poked her.
An Nuan turned around, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, then surprise and surprise.
"Miss Miao!" An Nuan shouted happily.
Several waiters in the bakery turned to look at Miao Jian and A Nuan, and also glanced at Wu Yuanshu.
Fei Yi didn't come in. He stood at the door carrying something.
Miao Jian made a silent gesture, then leaned into Ah Nuan's ear: "Just call me Xiao Jian."
A trace of panic flashed across A Nuan's face, her mouth moved but she hesitated without speaking.
Only then did Miao Jian see her face clearly. She hadn't seen her for nearly a month. A Nuan had lost a lot of weight. Her eyes were red, there were bruises under her eyes, and there were faint marks on her face that looked like palm prints. They were very faint.
, it’s almost impossible to tell if you don’t look carefully.
"How have you been lately?" Miao Jian asked tentatively, tilting her head and looking at her side face without any trace.
Ah Nuan smiled reluctantly: "It's been pretty good recently, and you look pretty good too, Miss."
Miao Jian looked away. It was indeed a slap mark. The left side of her face was a little swollen. Miao Jian smiled: "Well, it's good. Did you buy it for yourself?"
Ah Nuan's eyes darkened, and the smile on her face faded a little: "I bought this for Miss Miao."
"Miss Miao?" Miao Jian asked with a smile.
Ah Nuan suddenly came back to her senses and explained: "It's Miss Miao Er, she likes to eat this."
"Oh." Miao Jian nodded, turned around and continued to choose her chocolate cake.
A Nuan also went to check out. She paid the money and said goodbye to Miao Jian before leaving. She was very polite.
Miao Jian also said goodbye to her. It happened that A Nuan had just left the bakery, and Miao Jian found her favorite chocolate cake.
Miao Jian called the waiter, and the waiter took the tongs and put the cake in the box. Miao Jian watched the waiter's actions, and her thoughts gradually drifted into the distance.
She had only been away from the Miao family for only a month, and An Nuan had become so thin.
What happened this month, and what happened to the slap mark on her face?
It was impossible for Miao's mother to hit anyone, not to mention that at the end of the year, Miao's mother moved to the company not long after she moved out of Miao's house, leaving only Miao Yanru, the housekeeper and a few servants in the house.
The butler, Uncle Chen, was a kind man. Miao Jian had been in the Miao family for so long, and she had never seen the butler, Uncle Chen, get angry. He even talked to the servants in a harmonious manner, so it was impossible for him to hit Ah Nuan.
As for the servants, it is unlikely that the servants would bully each other. At the end of the new year, not only the butler Uncle Chen has gone back, but also several cooks and servants. It seems that only A Nuan is still staying at the Miao family.
Walk.
That slap mark was probably made by Miao Yanru.
Miao Jian actually thought of Miao Yanru when she first saw the slap mark, but there was no evidence, so she couldn't make a guess, so she had to suppress the doubts in her heart. Now it seems that her guess at the time was correct.
Miao Jian carried the small cake out of the store, and Wu Yuanshu followed him. The three of them walked for a while, and Fei Yi suggested that he and Wu Yuanshu go over there, saying that it was closer to Wu Yuanshu's house.
Miao Jian understood what Fei Yi meant. He wanted to live a life of two with Wu Yuanshu. After walking around for a long time, Wu Yuanshu kept holding Miao Jian's arm and didn't even say a few words to him. Fei Yi felt a little dissatisfied with Miao Jian's decision.
Understandably, Miao Jian said nothing, said goodbye to them directly, waved her hands, and walked over there carrying her things.
Miao Jian took a taxi home. As soon as she got home, she put down her things, took out her mobile phone and called Miao's mother.
She wanted to ask how the Miao family was doing, but Miao's mother was a little surprised when she answered the phone.
Miao Jian rarely called Miao's mother. After she moved out of Miao's house, she only made a few calls in the first few days, but basically no contact after that.
"Hello, little Jane?" Miao's mother's voice sounded on the other side of the phone, her voice was kind and kind.
"Mom, New Year is coming soon, when will you come back from the company?" Miao Jian said in a soft voice.
She doesn't have a bad relationship with Miao's mother, at least it's not awkward to answer the phone.
"There are still many things to do in the company," Miao's mother seemed to be thinking deeply, "I don't know when I will be back."
"Oh," Miao Jian said longly, feeling a little melancholy.
Miao's mother couldn't help but feel a little happy. As a mother, when she heard her child say that she longed for her to go home for the New Year, she couldn't help feeling happy in her heart.
"Is the younger sister alone in the Miao family?" Miao Jian asked knowingly.
"Well, the housekeeper has gone back to his hometown, and the servants have also gone back, but Ah Nuan is still here, and Yan Ru is not alone yet." Miao's mother casually flipped through the documents at hand.
