When Fan Ruxuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, Su Meng's heart dropped.
Otherwise, it is said that women know women best. Su Meng could probably guess what Fan Ruxuan was going to say in the next second.
"Brother Jiang Ning is drunk. If my sister is at ease, let him stay at my place for one night. I will have someone send Brother Jiang Ning back tomorrow morning."
Su Meng's guilt for Jiang Ning turned into a sharp sword in an instant, and she said to Fan Ruxuan: "The price of garbage is increasing, but you are still free. What should I worry about? My husband doesn't have to pay for it, and he can still do it.
I can still rest after being waited on for one night, so why not?"
Su Meng hung up the phone, turned off the phone, locked the door, closed the window, and went to bed.
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and sat up again, thinking why Jiang Di had to obey her orders when she was told to lock the door; why should she obey her orders and close the windows when she was told to?
Not myself!
Su Meng got out of bed, unlocked the door, left the windows wide open, and got into bed to sleep.
The cold wind blew, making Su Meng shiver. She wondered if he had not locked the door when he came back at night, would it make him mistakenly think that she would not be angry even if he was with another woman late at night or early in the morning? Or
Leave the door open for him?
Leave the door open? Why should you leave the door open for him?
Su Meng got out of bed again and locked the door...
After repeating this for many times, Su Meng finally got tired and lay down on the sofa not far from the door, so tired that she fell asleep.
In the early morning, Su Meng got up in fear and found that the door was locked. She began to blame herself. She quickly opened the door, but there was no one outside, and her sense of loss increased sharply.
It happened that Aunt Zhang passed by the door and said hello to Su Meng:
"Good morning, madam."
"Good morning! Well...Jiang Ning...did he come back last night?"
Aunt Zhang had a look of astonishment on her face. The loving couple, one of them actually asked her if the other had gone home, which made Aunt Zhang a little panicked.
"Ah? Didn't the young master come back last night? This... I don't know!"
Aunt Zhang was eager to clear up the relationship, which made Su Meng embarrassed.
"Oh! I...I just ask...ask..."
Before Aunt Zhang could say anything more, Su Meng quickly closed the bedroom door.
Afterwards, Su Meng learned from Zhao Linyi that Jiang Ning's phone was left at Fan's house. She had to work overtime last night and stayed up all night in the studio.
"I'm afraid that brat Jiang Ning is a little busy these days. He specifically told me not to worry. He will have time after these things are taken care of."
Su Meng listened to Zhao Linyi's words and felt a little confused.
Is Jiang Ning... really busy? Or does he not want to see him?
Su Meng wanted to explain, but the call failed, and she contacted her via WeChat several times, but there was no response.
At this moment, Su Meng understood that it was true that he was busy, and it was also true that he was angry.
For more than ten days in a row, Jiang Ning seemed to have disappeared from her life. Everyone could mention him and talk about him, but she could not be contacted or seen.
Until this weekend, Su Meng heard Zhao Linyi mention that Jiang Ning was going to attend a cocktail party at an old artist's manor, and asked Su Meng why she didn't go with him.
"I... will go with you, but Jiang Ning seems a little busy, so I'm afraid he won't have time to see me off. Aunt Zhao, can our driver send me there?"
"Yes! What's not possible about this!"
"Then I'll go upstairs and pick out some clothes."
"Oh, those clothes you have upstairs are all casual and cannot be worn to a cocktail party. Didn't Jiang Ning prepare a dress for you?"
Su Meng was afraid that Zhao Linyi would see that the two were having a conflict, so she quickly explained:
"Oh...I don't like what he prepared for me! Yes, I don't like it!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that boy, are you so blind when it comes to choosing clothes?"
Zhao Linyi frowned and thought carefully, then took Su Meng to the back room and asked Aunt Zhang to gather some people to come to her room to get clothes.
"I do have a high-end dress here, but it was worn when I was young. I don't know if you like it, so I'll show it to you."
After Aunt Zhang agreed, she led seven or eight people to follow her.
Su Meng was a little surprised. It was just a piece of clothing, why did he call so many people?
Until she came to Zhao Linyi's bedroom and saw the safe that was as big as half a wall. This safe was probably worthy of the word "cabinet" and could easily hide five or six people.
"I'm telling you, people in the art circle now don't just wear high-end clothes, they also like rare and period things. One of my two sets of clothes is from 1979.
My mother-in-law gave it to me. There is also a set from 1994, given to me by Jiang Ning’s father. You choose a set that suits you and wear it to the reception."
When Zhao Linyi mentioned the dress from 1994, her tone was obviously a bit low. Su Meng was afraid that wearing it would make Zhao Linyi fall in love, so she chose the dress from 1979.
"Just tell me which one you like, but don't worry about me!"
Su Meng quickly shook her head and said:
"No, no, I just like the color of this one."
Zhao Linyi glanced meaningfully at the dress from 1979, with mixed feelings in her heart.
I still remember that year when I got engaged to Jiang Lu, Zhao Linyi was wearing this dress from 1979. Jiang Lu knelt down on one knee and proposed to her.
Zhao Linyi would often wear this dress when attending banquets in the future. Until the two divorced and things changed, she locked the dress in a safe.
Apart from taking this piece of clothing out every year for repair and maintenance, it has never been touched before.
To this day, when Su Meng puts it on again, the past is like a video tape, playing in her mind, which is even more embarrassing.
Zhao Linyi circled around Su Meng twice, and then when she came back to her, she gave her a simple and affirmative compliment:
"nice!"
"Just wait for me. I seem to have a set of jewelry, which should look particularly beautiful with this dress!"
Zhao Linyi hurriedly entered the safe, while Su Meng stood by the mirror in a daze.
Is this... really me?
The overall dress is based on black, but the whole body is covered with sparkling diamonds, and the fishtail-style skirt outlines Su Meng's figure vividly.
But with its bandeau style, it seems like something is missing on the chest...
"Well, isn't this perfect?"
When Zhao Linyi hung the luxuriously set imperial green jade necklace around Su Meng's neck, her whole image stood up instantly, making her look gorgeous and moving.
"this is me?"
"Silly boy, why isn't it you? Has the stylist arrived to give my daughter-in-law some more advice? I remember that the banquet seems to start at eight o'clock in the evening. Let's not be in a hurry and take our time. There are still three hours left!"
The stylist was fiddling with her hair, and she was really worried about putting on this outfit.
How much are these clothes and jewelry worth? What should I do if they are damaged by me?
"Aunt Zhang, um... how much does my clothes and jewelry... cost?"
Aunt Zhang shook her head, filled the thermos cup with water, fastened the lid and placed it on the dressing table.
"It's quite expensive. The things Madam puts in the safe are usually not cheap."
Quite expensive...how much is it?
Seeing Su Meng lower her head and thinking, the stylist raised her chin and said smoothly:
"Don't move. If you move, the shape will be messed up."
"Oh, sorry……"
The stylist looked at Su Meng carefully and said inadvertently:
"This set of jewelry you are wearing must cost at least eight figures, and this outfit is probably even more priceless."
"Eight figures? Priceless treasure?"
Su Meng's Seven Souls were so frightened that they lost six souls and immediately said that they could not attend the reception.
"Young madam, don't get excited, what's going on?"
Wearing something like this, I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to move, let alone walk. We were going to a cocktail party, and if any drink were spilled on this antique, Su Meng would be frightened just thinking about the scene.
I dare not move.
"No, no, I can't attend this cocktail party!"
Zhao Linyi heard the sound and came over. She saw Su Meng's face was pale, so she sat close to her, held her hand tightly, and asked what happened.
Su Meng pursed her lips and chose to be lenient if she confessed and to be strict if she considered it.
"Actually, I don't know about the reception at all, and Jiang Ning didn't mention it to me. A few days ago, I said some outrageous things, and he must have been angry. We haven't contacted each other for half a month."
Su Meng told everything about the conflict between herself and Jiang Ning.
Zhao Linyi slapped her palm on the table angrily.
"What did you say? No contact for half a month? What's the no contact method? If he doesn't look for you, you don't look for him? Or if you look for him, he ignores you?"
If Su Meng had told Jiang Ning that she had contacted Jiang Ning many times, he would have ignored her. Based on Zhao Linyi's character, she would have been very upset.
Besides, this was his fault in the first place, and Jiang Ning couldn't be blamed. If he could have chased him out that day, pulled him to explain to him, and convinced him, it wouldn't have led to such a tense situation.
Seeing that Su Meng didn't speak, Zhao Linyi also guessed that if both parties ignored me and I ignored you, Su Meng wouldn't rush to meet him for a drink.
"Aunt Zhao, everything has happened now. Later, after he has finished his work, I will look for an opportunity to explain to him."
"How can you explain that we can't even see you face to face? That brat Yi Jiang Ning has the same stubborn temper as his father. He can fight with you for half a year, let alone half a month!"
Su Meng drooped her head, like a deflated rubber ball. She was also stupid, and Su Na's tone of voice when trying to trick her was so obvious that she didn't even notice, and she was so stupid that she just said everything.
Now it’s better, I didn’t get the letter of understanding and got into a lot of trouble.
Zhao Linyi stepped forward, patted Assistant Li on the shoulder, and motioned for him to continue styling.
"Aunt Zhao, I really can't go..."
"You must go!"
Su Meng was stunned for a moment, her eyes full of doubts.
"Do you know what kind of reception this old artist is hosting?"
Su Meng shook her head.
Zhao Linyi patted the back of her hand earnestly and said:
"It's a golden wedding reception. Either a man doesn't bring a female companion. As long as he brings a female companion, it means she is his legitimate wife. Can you understand what I mean?"
"But……"
"Don't be so! You have already obtained the certificate, and he still won't take you to the cocktail party. Don't let me catch him. If I catch him, I will have to skin him!"
Su Meng couldn't help but lean on Zhao Linyi's shoulder, tears filling her eyes.
"Aunt Zhao...I'm sorry...Thank you..." This chapter has been completed!
