Chapter 1 Small repairs in the palm of your hand
Before the cold winter came, the cold wind in Jincheng was already extremely frozen, and people were passing by in a hurry, wrapping their cotton coats tightly.
It was already six o'clock in the evening when Ruan Mingshu rushed back to her second aunt's house from the crowded subway, and she was about to catch up with dinner time. Before she even stepped into the door, she heard the sound of the car horn from afar. Ruan Mingshu subconsciously looked up.
When he saw Jiang Lan's face that looked so slight and laughing, Ruan Mingshu clenched it with her hand beside her, thinking silently in her heart, not knowing what trick Jiang Lan was going to play again.
Just as she ignored her and wanted to walk in, Jiang Lan hurriedly came out of the car and pulled up and shouted at her: "Ruan Mingshu, why are you hiding when you look at me?"
Jiang Lan is the daughter of Ruan Mingshu's second aunt. She is arrogant and domineering, and is just a arrogant, rude and ignorant daughter. She didn't even give a look when she saw Ruan Mingshu, and she was not annoyed. Instead, she slowly took out a box of imported products from the brand bag and swayed in front of Ruan Mingshu.
He murmured, "This was brought back by Xisin from abroad, and it tastes very good. Do you want to eat it?"
"Oh." Ruan Mingshu replied to her lightly, with no unnecessary expression on her face, and she looked like she was not concerned about her.
Obviously, Jiang Lan was not very satisfied with her reaction. Ruan Mingshu thought carefully in her heart. Suddenly, she curled her lips and smiled as if she had realized something. She originally had a little more spiritual charm. She tilted her head and pretended to be stupid, and her tone was like a white lotus. "Senior Xi Xin must like you. This gift must be very expensive, and I have never seen it before."
Jiang Lan enjoyed the pretentious words of "flattering" and Ruan Mingshu secretly laughed at herself in her heart - the box of brand she had never seen before was a imported product, but it was just a foreign label.
Secondly, she was almost disgusted by the tea words she had just said, and Jiang Lan could still listen to them?
"It's good that you know." After that, Jiang Lan glanced at her and walked in with a swagger. However, when he passed by Ruan Mingshu, his guilty eyes could not be concealed.
In fact, this box was made of coincidence by Xi Xin and asked her to give it to Ruan Mingshu, but she didn't want to give this gift to Ruan Mingshu at all. How could she get the gift and attention of Senior Xi Xin?
The Jiang family is not a famous family in Jincheng, but with Jiang Lan's father's unremitting efforts, it can be considered as a high-level class. In the early years, when housing prices were still sluggish, the housing prices have been rising again and again, and even the wealthy people gritted their teeth and lived in the south of the city villa.
In the second aunt's words, what is the purpose of "Meng's mother's three moves"? It's not just to open up Jiang Lan's eyes and have a higher vision of choosing a son-in-law, so her hard work is not in vain.
In addition, it is the best of both worlds to help your career flourish.
Ruan Mingshu, who had just moved into the Jiang family villa four years ago, was not sensible, naturally did not understand the second aunt's "good intentions". But during the years of getting along with each other, she understood that the ideas that second aunt instilled in her and Jiang Lan were always "exquisite egoism" and the common "people go to a higher level" in the upper class.
Regarding these fallacies, Ruan Mingshu always uses one ear to enter and one ear to come out, so she should not become so snobbish.
The front hall was a long distance from the main living room. The second uncle, who was standing in the viewing area, fed fish with snow cakes and caught a glimpse of his daughter and waved his hand and said, "Xiao Lan and Mingshu are back?"
"Well, dad, are you waiting for me here?" Jiang Lan's voice brought the charm of the girl's family. After hugging her father's solid arms, she glanced at Ruan Mingshu like a "showing off".
The girl's unconcealed and swaying expression made Ruan Mingshu feel slightly painful, but she was unwilling to show it, but instead turned her head to turn her eyes.
Ruan Mingshu's reaction made Jiang Lan very happy. She just wanted to bully Ruan Mingshu. She just sent a "stranger" living in her house. Why could she take away her father's love for her? How could she make everyone around her like her, as if she was an unpleasant villain.
She just hates her hypocritical appearance as a "good student". She may hate her so much inside, and she can show it openly if she has the ability.
After Ruan Zhenming was intimate with his own girl, he raised his eyes and saw the girl wearing a pure white sweatshirt frowning, and the concern on his mouth was "just picking up" "What should I do if I get sick after wearing such a little clothes?"
He was taking care of Ruan Mingshu in an open manner and pretending to be in front of the family, but secretly he didn't put his care into practice. Ruan Mingshu never believed that his second uncle had no idea that his second aunt had deducted her pocket money and refused to buy her a winter clothes. Jiang Lan bullied her everywhere and never let her get into the driver's car.
The little girl clenched her cold fist, suddenly let go of her fist and rubbed her stiff fingers. Her dim eyes were filled with a layer of gloom. She nodded and murmured softly, "I understand."
Ruan Mingshu is different from Jiang Lan. The former is like a soft snow ball in spring, with a soft and thin voice, which is probably related to her mother's origin in a water town in Jiangnan; while the latter is sharp and straightforward, and can't hide things in her heart, like a rushing solid.
It is precisely because of this that Ruan Zhenming told Jiang Lan a lot, just learn more from her sister, just be half of her restrained.
But he didn't know at all that it was because of his words that Jiang Lan hated Ruan Mingshu over time.
The father and daughter walked forward intimately, holding hands, but Ruan Mingshu and them drew a long and insurmountable gap before. She followed her step by step, her stubborn little face white and her hands were red with cold.
Just as she was thinking, "When the advertiser sends the money, he can buy winter clothes and exchange it for some exquisite dining plates", Ruan Zhenming, who was standing in front, inadvertently asked Jiang Lan, "You and Mingshu came back together just now, right?"
The implication is, did you come back by car together?
Hearing this, Jiang Lan instantly returned to her little daughter's coquettish look and rubbed Ruan Zhenming. Her voice was so sweet that she didn't turn red when she lies. "Of course, I'll invite Mingshu to eat eggs on the way back? Sister Mingshu, do you think so?"
In Ruan Mingshu's impression, Jiang Lan had never invited her to eat anything, and it would be considered good if she didn't steal her things.
Looking at Jiang Lan's face that was a little threatening, "If you say the wrong thing, you won't leave you with a whole body in the next second", Ruan Mingshu just thought that it would be better to have more things than to do. It would be better to take it to sleep with this free time. She nodded and replied, "Yes, the eggs that my sister invited me to eat were very delicious."
In this case, she had learned to "pretend to be good" because she knew in her heart that even if she said it clearly, Ruan Zhenming would not stand up for him. Ruan Mingshu smiled at her second uncle cunningly.
After hearing what she said, Ruan Zhenming withdrew his gaze and touched Jiang Lan's black hair. Then he stopped his palm as if he had thought of something. His expression was too much. "There will be a friend from my father's business at home. You can change your clothes well."
After saying that, he fell on Ruan Mingshu again, "bring Mingshu with him."
The girl's slender waist was tighter by the snow-white dress. Jiang Lan, who was the first to grab the clothes, looked at the girl with red lips and white teeth, with a trace of sharpness across her face and stiff lips.
She pulled the pink gauze skirt impatiently, and the nameless fire ignited from her chest surged up like a prairie. Her tone was not good, "We both have similar figures, and I don't like the clothes I'm wearing."
How could Ruan Mingshu not understand the implication? But she clearly didn't want the clothes on her body. Ruan Mingshu nodded obediently, with a sarcastic and uninterrupted sarcasm, "Then let's change it." After that, she began to take off her clothes without any refusal.
Anyway, there is nothing to choose from, it is not the style she likes, it is so ugly that it is unique.
Jiang Lan was still not satisfied after changing her clothes. The vulgar pink dress she originally wore on her body was like a close-fitting one for her, making her skin look whiter and softer. This effect was what she dreamed of.
When collecting this haute couture dress, she was very delicate when wearing it on the model, but it was vividly reflected on Ruan Mingshu. Jiang Lan gritted her teeth and could not do anything about it.
After all, I have changed my clothes.
Originally, the time for dining at 6 o'clock was temporarily pushed to past seven o'clock, but when it was not waiting for 7 o'clock, Ruan Zhenming's "partner" called, waiting for a call, saying that something happened on the expressway might come later, or it might come next time, the details are unknown.
Of course, since Ruan Zhenming was away from a large table of people answering the phone, Ruan Mingshu didn't know at all. The man also said, "Let the little girl stop waiting and go to bed earlier."
Words are the gentleness and affection that this person rarely has, but his voice is sharp but tired. Unfortunately, Ruan Mingshu couldn't hear it.
Ruan Zhenming understood Huo Yuan's tired voice. Today, Mr. Huo was afraid that he would not come. Every time he invited him to come home, he was rejected. It seemed that he was still not happy with Mingshu.
Ruan Mingshu didn't know who would come tonight at all, so she washed up early and watched the food video and fell asleep.
At about twelve o'clock, Ruan Mingshu was awakened by the hazy urination. Then she pulled her soft slippers to the bathroom, rubbing her sleepy eyes with her right hand. When she saw the Baroque-style light on the third floor, she slowly looked away. When she finished using the toilet, she walked towards the third floor in small steps.
The more I walked upstairs, the second aunt's voice became clearer and clearer, which was the kind of unrestrained and arrogant smile that Ruan Mingshu had never heard before. The closer it was to the "truth", the more curious Ruan Mingshu was.
She knew that curiosity killed the cat, but she clearly heard the second aunt talking about words such as "jewellery", "priceful", and "villa". This greedy ** was increasingly attracted to Ruan Mingshu's desire for knowledge. She wanted to know what was inside covered by the fog.
Ruan Mingshu carefully looked inside, and the transparent pattern and snow-white wall allowed her to see intuitively what was placed on the table.
When she saw the engagement necklace given to her mother by her father, she even breathed lightly, and her white little face was shocked. If she remembered correctly, wouldn’t these jewelry be all paid off?
But she didn't hear that her second uncle had helped her pay off her debts. Ruan Mingshu bit her lips and thought, but the heart in her chest seemed to be whispered by someone.
Just as she heard the second aunt inside muttering, "The set of jade jewelry inside is a rare treasure. You can buy a set of courtyard houses in Jincheng. When you go back and hold an auction..." Before the people inside finished speaking, Ruan Mingshu stood in place with stiffness, her eyes suddenly opened to the maximum.
