Steak with pasta, an omelette, thick soup and a piece of dessert, An Ning looked at a club business card handed over by the visitor.lub’

An Ning has never been fond of English, but as a person with a poor sense of direction, coupled with his career, he has always had a good memory for landmark buildings.

Moreover, this club is very famous, and one of its designers is An Ning's favorite. It can be said that it follows the orthodox high-end and classy route. Most people can't afford to spend money there.

However, it is strange for An Ning that a club like this actually delivers food. The club’s location is about 400 meters away from the hotel. Is that where they went?

Thinking about it, after all, with a celebrity like Xia Chu together, the matter to be discussed still involves Jiang Lichuan, so they should find such a private club.

Thinking of how Zhou Lu would stare at her very nervously every time it was time to eat, for fear that she would not eat or eat too little and become as hungry as his eldest child.

Could it be that he had someone send this?

In fact, An Ning really planned to rest after dinner, but she didn't know that not long after being alone in a closed and quiet space, her mind became uncontrollably chaotic, and she suddenly forgot to call the hotel to order food.

thing.

Thinking of this, An Ning smiled politely and said to the visitor, "Thank you."

Then he took the food and the business card and closed the door. The moment the door closed, around the corner, the corner of the black windbreaker disappeared, and then there was a ding, and a tall figure stepped into the elevator.

※

Zhou Lu was still running around about Jiang Lichuan's affairs, but An Ning was not idle either.

Jiang Yuan insisted on being a landlord, so accompanied by him, he peacefully visited Shengjing for two days.

This is not the first time An Ning has come to Shengjing. He came several times when he was studying in graduate school, and also came several times after work, but it was all because of official business, so the scope of his activities was very narrow, and he did not read this place carefully.

The capital city of the city.

"This year's maple leaves turned red earlier than last year." From the side, Jiang Yuan suddenly said.

Both sides of the road were filled with fiery red. The wind was relatively strong today, blowing down the red maple leaves all over the ground, making crackling sounds from time to time when stepped on.

An Ning held in her hand a piece of red maple leaf that she accidentally received and fell from the sky. While playing with it casually, she said: "It suddenly occurred to me that when I was a child, I used to pick up leaves from the ground to play, tug of war with the leaf stems, and bet on winning or losing."

"I also played when I was a kid. I also jumped out of airplanes, smashed sandbags, took pictures, and even jumped over girls' rubber bands." Jiang Yuan said, his eyes and eyebrows flying. Seeing An Ning's slightly surprised expression, he added

: "What? Don't you believe it? My feet were not born like this."

Seeing that he had misunderstood, An Ning immediately said: "That's not what I meant. I'm just surprised that someone like you has played with such down-to-earth things."

Jiang Yuan smiled, "What am I like? What am I like?"

"It's just..." How to describe it?

Just when An Ning was thinking about the most appropriate words to use, Jiang Yuan added: "What's even more surprising? The most I can do rubber band jumping is big frogs and the like, but my brother can even do those things girls play. He

Even the shuttlecock kicking is better than that of the girls! I learned everything from him to jumping rubber bands and kicking the shuttlecock. Oh, by the way, he can also sew sandbags!"

This really surprised An Ning. Jiang Lichuan, an old man in his thirties with such cold lines and a perfect and restrained smile on his lips, had played with those things before?

"Don't he play with models of cars and guns? Don't he play football or basketball?"

In An Ning's impression, boys mostly played like this, not to mention that Jiang Lichuan was a soldier.

"He also plays, and when it comes to football..." Jiang Yuan said, he couldn't help but laugh. "When my brother was in the third grade of junior high school, he played football with others. He fell heavily and knocked out two front teeth. At that time,

My son has had his teeth replaced a long time ago, so even though he has two neat rows of teeth now, in fact, the two rows of teeth above are fake."

An Ning smiled, unable to imagine what Jiang Lichuan's face would look like if two front teeth were missing.

But at this moment, there was a sudden 'click', and a white light flashed through. The smile on the corner of An Ning's lips froze for a moment, and then he saw Jiang Yuan holding a mirrorless camera in his hand.

"Look, you look so beautiful when you smile." Jiang Yuan handed the photo from the camera to An Ning and said.

An Ning looked at the picture that was frozen in that moment, "I'm still used to taking pictures without smiling."

Jiang Yuan suddenly said: "Don't you ever smile when taking pictures?"

"This must be a kind of camera fear. I am born with a straight face when someone asks me to take a photo, as if someone owes me a hundred and eighty thousand yuan and I won't pay back."

Therefore, most of her photos have the same expressions.

"Except for the wedding registration photo, I smiled for the rare occasion, but in the end I laughed and turned myself into a joke."

Jiang Yuan looked at the loneliness rising from the corners of her eyes and brows, "So is this one of the reasons why you rejected my brother? You are afraid of being hurt again."

Not only did An Ning not want to say more about this issue, she didn't even want to think about it, so she just said: "The reason is very complicated."

Knowing that she was evading, Jiang Yuan did not mention it again, but said: "When I was a child, my brother doted on me. He would give me anything I wanted, except for one time when I asked for a limited edition model that he had put together, but he didn't.

He promised to give it to me, and finally I went to the grown-up, and the grown-up naturally asked him to give it to me. However, while he promised, he pushed it gently with his hand and threw the model that he spent all night putting together to the ground.

, I understood then that whoever wants something can take it if he doesn’t care about it, but if he really likes it, he must get it, and if he can’t have it, he would rather destroy it with his own hands.”

An Ning froze for a while, then a gust of cool wind blew, and she couldn't help but tremble.

"Are you scared?" Jiang Yuan finished speaking and smiled slightly, "That's just a model, not someone he likes."

"Why am I scared? No matter what, it has nothing to do with me."

There was an overly disguised indifference in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Jiang Yuan looked at it, and then seemed not to notice it, and just said to An Ning: "It's windy, so let's get in the car!"

After saying that, he made a gesture about four hundred meters ahead, and immediately, the silver car parked on the roadside began to reverse back.

"Is there anywhere else I want to go..." Jiang Yuan said, and suddenly his cell phone rang.

An Ning accidentally glanced at the name flashing on the screen of his mobile phone. It was Xia Chu. So she naturally quickened her pace and deliberately kept a distance to give others the space to answer the phone.

But as soon as she walked to the car, she heard Jiang Yuan say behind her: "An Ning, Xia Chu invites you to attend her celebration party."

※

In the gleaming hall, there is another extremely luxurious show.

This was a belated celebration banquet held for Xia Chu to win the Best Actress Award. An Ning didn't want to come, but Jiang Yuan said: "Xia Chu has prepared all the dresses for you and sent them to your hotel room.

If you don't go, she will definitely leave a bunch of people and come to invite you in person, forcing you to explain clearly why you don't like her."

An Ning immediately thought - no way? This is someone I have only met a few times! Is this necessary?

However, Jiang Yuan said: "Believe me, it will happen. She has very few friends, especially female friends, unless you really hate her."

"I don't hate her."

Especially for someone like Xia Chu, who is clearly thirty years old, but still hangs her arm and shakes her, saying, "An An, you don't like me!" like a child acting coquettishly with an adult, to be honest,

She really couldn't hate her, on the contrary, she also liked her a little, and this kind of liking was just like the first time she met Xia Wei and Lin Sijia in the dormitory.

But……

When thinking of Lin Sijia, An Ning couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

But at that time, Jiang Yuan's cell phone rang again, and it was Xia Chu. Although the call was from Jiang Yuan's cell phone, it was her he was looking for.

On the phone, Xia Chu could be said to be extremely excited, describing to An Ning how beautiful the dress she chose for her was, and vigorously demanding that she come, even at the risk of various threats.

An Ning felt a little dumbfounded as she listened, and finally nodded inexplicably.

So, at this moment, she was wearing the aqua cheongsam that Xia Chu had prepared for her. Fortunately, her belly had not come out yet, so her waist was just right. She applied a little makeup and appeared in this mask-themed dress.

In the celebration party, looking not far away, Jiang Yuan in evening dress appeared gorgeously on his arm with Xia Chu dressed as a queen. As the applause rang, An Ning received the admiring glances from Jiang Yuan and Xia Chu. She smiled slightly,

At this time, low whispers began to float around.

"Some people just like the limelight. When something happens to their elder brother, they immediately fall into the arms of their younger brother."

"What a pity he is a lame!"

"That's why you're not as popular as her! People are so open-minded. What's wrong with the cripple? The cripple's father's surname is Jiang and his mother's surname is Ji. Does the Ji family know? The founding fathers of the country! If what happened to Jiang Lichuan happened to Jiang Lichuan,

For Yuan, let me tell you, it’s just a matter of words, and nothing will happen to him immediately.”

"Jiang Lichuan can be considered a direct descendant. It's a pity that he doesn't have as strong a background as the Ji family. No wonder he got divorced in the end. Jiang Zheng is what he is today, and the support of the Ji family is indispensable behind him."

"It's good now. Jiang Jianuo's huge industry will belong to Jiang Yuan alone from now on."

…

It turns out that Jiang Lichuan and Jiang Yuan were not born to the same mother?

While An Ning was digesting the news, she heard another commotion at the door.

At a glance, An Ning only recognized the man as Tang Shaoyan, and as for the woman he was holding in his hand...

Someone shouted, "Isn't that Shen Shirley? Why is she here?"

Suddenly, there was peace and clarity.

At this time, the people around said: "When did our Sherry become a well-known person in the industry for being tolerant, generous and good-tempered? But the red dress is really eye-catching. I don't know, I thought it was her today."

There’s a celebration party!”

"If I were her, I wouldn't come. Wouldn't this be embarrassing?"

"She doesn't think so, and she even brought her fiancé to 'congratulate' her in such a grand way."

"Actually, women will get married sooner or later. No matter how hard you work, no matter how many awards you get, no matter how famous you are, it is better to marry a good husband. Sherry, an old man, is much better at this. He won Tang Shao early.

Yan, the future hostess of Shengshi Media, is more beautiful than a movie queen even if she is not a movie queen."

"That's not necessarily true, haven't you heard? Why did Xia Chu win the award this time? Although she is indeed capable, don't forget that Sherry's backstage is not bad either. If it hadn't been for a critical moment, her backstage would have turned against her.

The heroine of today’s party really needs to be replaced by someone else.”

Immediately, someone asked in surprise: "How is it possible? He didn't help his fiancée, but went to help Xia Chu?"

"What is impossible in this circle? Don't forget that last month the media also photographed Tang Shaoyan and Xia Chu traveling together in Bali. What's more, you don't even know who Xia Chu looks like.
