It was almost time to get off work. Since everyone was watching the fun, how could she be left out?
Jiang Ning packed up and went down the stairs.
As soon as I arrived at the corridor on the first floor, I heard the chaos outside.
She gently pushed the door open and went out, getting behind all her colleagues. Through the gap in the crowd, she saw Gu Ling and Li Zeyu facing each other in a stalemate a few meters apart in the middle of the hall on the first floor.
Li Zeyu didn't know what he said, and Gu Ling covered her ears and shook her head desperately.
Jiang Ning leaned forward and vaguely saw that Gu Ling looked like a tabby cat. It turned out that he had put on elaborate makeup because of crying.
"You don't even have to go to work anymore?! Kaient doesn't care for idle people!"
Li Zeyu suddenly turned around, looked around, and yelled angrily.
For a moment, everyone cheered and crowded towards the elevator door.
In less than a minute, all the people who came to watch the excitement dispersed.
Jiang Ning, who was standing at the corner, was suddenly exposed.
Gu Ling was covering her face and crying when she caught a glimpse of Jiang Ning from the corner of her eye and pointed at her angrily.
Just at this moment, Jiang Ning calmly passed by the hall.
"Jiang Ning, it's all because of you that Brother Yu doesn't want me!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Hearing Li Zeyu's scolding, Jiang Ning's pace quickened a bit.
She doesn't want to participate in this kind of struggle between wealthy families. She is only suitable for a mediocre life.
Taking a taxi to leave, Jiang Ning was considered absent from work, but no one recorded it.
She went to the mall first, and specifically went to the aquatic area to pick out a crucian carp.
Jiang Wang went back to school in two days. He ate school food, which was not so nutritious.
I picked fish and bought a piece of tofu.
Passing by the fruit section, someone called her.
"Ning Ning?"
Jiang Ning turned around, first surprised, then pleasantly surprised.
"Mother Liu."
Meeting old friends is extremely cordial.
Jiang Ning ignored the things she bought and turned around to hug the middle-aged woman.
The other party had a kind face and tucked the hair hanging down on her face behind her ears, "She's really grown up, I don't even dare to recognize her."
"Mom Liu, ever since something happened to my family and you left, I have missed you very much."
As he said this, Jiang Ning's nose felt sore and she wanted to cry.
The woman pinched her face lovingly and said with a smile, "Mama Liu misses you too. Where is my brother?"
"He is at home, I just came to buy some food."
“Isn’t it time for Wangzi to go to college?”
"Not yet, in high school. Whose house did Liu go to after she left?"
"Now the Chen family."
"Chen Yinghui?"
"you know?"
"A wealthy businessman from Kyoto, how could I not know about him?"
The two of them talked as they walked.
All the way to the checkout.
After each other finished their marriage, they sat in the rest area outside the mall for a while.
Mother Liu is forty years old this year, thin, but very clever.
She grew up watching Jiang Ning and Jiang Wang. In the past, if their clothes were inappropriate, she would almost always modify them.
"Ning Ning is working now, so she should be able to protect herself and her brother's life, right?"
"yes."
"well."
From the moment the woman saw Jiang Ning, her eyes never left her.
She is like a loving mother looking after her daughter, with eyes full of adoration.
Jiang Ning felt warm inside, but also a little bitter.
When I heard Liu's mother sighing, I thought she was not doing well in her current employer.
So, he asked: "Is the Chen family easy to take care of?"
"It's okay. My wife just gave birth to a baby, and she just had her confinement period a few days ago. But she has someone to take care of her. I only care about their family's food."
"That's good."
Mother Liu kept staring at her, making Jiang Ning feel a little uncomfortable.
"Mom Liu, are there any restrictions on your going out?"
In the past, in the Jiang family, her mother restricted her shopping to supermarkets near her home for half an hour at a time.
"There is no limit, but you have to watch it carefully so as not to exceed the cooking time."
Jiang Ning checked the time on her phone and was about to speak when Mother Liu held her wrist.
"How did the police investigate the car accident?"
The sudden inquiry made Jiang Ning a little stunned.
"Just... I just hit a big truck and said it was a blind spot, so I took some money with me."
"Are you sure it's a blind spot?"
"yes."
She was about to graduate at that time, and she even went to watch the event.
She knew everything about her parents' bodies and the forensic examination.
But now, Liu Ma is questioning.
"Mama Liu, do you know anything?"
Jiang Ning asked, and Liu's mother's senior phone suddenly rang: "Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding."
"I set the alarm clock."
She quickly took out her phone and turned it off, but at the same time she stood up to leave.
Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions, sent her off the elevator, and went shopping elsewhere.
When it got dark, she returned to Huating.
Li Zeyu probably won't come today.
Therefore, when she stewed the fish, she didn't add much water.
While he was busy working, Jiang Wang appeared behind him, "Sister, isn't Brother Li coming today?"
Jiang Ning said angrily: "He is not anyone like you, why are you so concerned about him?"
Jiang Wang scratched his head, a little innocently: "He doesn't cook delicious food."
Jiang Ning turned back and glanced at him.
Jiang Wang was bored and turned around and left the kitchen.
When the rice was done and Jiang Ning served it, he lost his appetite.
She asked Jiang Wang to eat first while she went back to her room.
When he came out, Jiang Wang didn't seem to have eaten much, with most of it left.
Jiang Ning reluctantly ate some, and while washing the dishes, Li Zeyu sent a WeChat message.
She didn't look, but Jiang Wang glanced at it.
"Sister, Brother Li asked you to go to bed early. He won't come today."
Jiang Ning came out with a spoon and chased away Jiang Wang who was peeking at WeChat.
She didn't reply. She had been thinking about her encounter with Liu's mother during the day and her sudden question.
Pulling out old photos from the closet cabinet, Jiang Ning's eyes were sore and she couldn't help but shed tears.
My father used to be in the textile industry, and his business was getting bigger and bigger, mostly exporting overseas.
At that time, Song Changhe was considered his deputy, but since his father passed away in a car accident, the Song family changed their profession due to sadness.
Turning to the photo of his father and Song Changhe, Jiang Ning couldn't help but caress his father's cheek with her fingers.
Looking at the photo and his father's kind smile, Jiang Ning felt extremely sad.
For some unknown reason, she took a photo with her mobile phone and sent it to Song Nuan.
After a long while, the other person replied with three words: I can't read it.
Jiang Ning didn't quite understand, thinking that Song Nuan was complaining about her father, so she didn't care.
Looking at the photos of myself and Song Nuan in college, my originally gloomy mood gradually improved.
Going forward, there are many more photos, but none of them are of Li Zeyu.
Jiang Ning looked through it carefully, and even the graduation photos seemed to be missing him.
Confused, Jiang Ning asked Song Nuan: When did Li Zeyu go abroad?
Song Nuan: It was the eve of graduation, but later, he went back to receive his graduation certificate.
Jiang Ning: Why didn’t I know?
Song Nuan didn't reply again. She waited for a long time, closed the photo album and put it back where it belonged.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Song Nuan still didn't say a word.
Really unable to wait any longer, she went to bed first.
Little did they know, Song Nuan on the other side was holding her cell phone and typing, deleting, typing and deleting again and again, just saying: During that time, your parents had a car accident, and you had been dealing with the funeral arrangements.
She was afraid of arousing Jiang Ning's sadness, so she finally threw the phone aside without typing a word.
