Early the next morning, Jiang Ning stared at the message sent on her phone in trance. How could she say such childish words?
I just smoked some cigarettes last night and didn't drink. Why was my mood so controlled by Su Meng's words? Even what I said and what I did seemed to be a completely different person.
Period: If you sincerely want to apologize, then stay with me more.
How about a cool character? Why do you look like a little puppy?
Could it be said that smoking too much will make you intoxicated?
The message sending time was fixed in the early morning. Jiang Ning's biological clock was very accurate. No matter how late she slept, she would always wake up at six o'clock in the morning.
This was also a habit I developed in those years just to go to the park and meet Su Meng by chance.
Su Meng didn't reply to her message in the early morning, so it was understandable that she fell asleep early.
If she doesn't reply to your message at six o'clock, you can assume that she hasn't gotten up yet.
But, it's already noon, are you still too busy to reply to your messages?
Moreover, her attitude is so low. To put it bluntly, all she needs to do is say "good" to her. Is it that difficult?
The housekeeper knocked on the door and said that someone outside the manor wanted to see him.
Jiang Ning stared at the phone again, and after confirming again that Su Meng had not responded to the message, she put the phone into her pocket.
"knew."
A sumptuous lunch was prepared in the living room downstairs. Zhao Linyi had already taken her seat and was waiting for Jiang Ning to come downstairs to eat.
"Mom, I'm going out for a while."
Zhao Linyi flipped through the magazine in her hand, over and over again, seemingly reading, but in fact she didn't read a single word or picture.
She placed the magazine on the coffee table with trembling hands, and Zhao Linyi's personal nurse immediately handed over the water and medicine.
Zhao Linyi did not answer Jiang Ning's words, but asked the nurse to get another dose of medicine.
"Madam, as long as your mood is stable, the dose just given is enough."
Zhao Linyi glanced at the nurse. She had a very cold temperament. Just one glance made the nurse panic.
"Do I need to report to you?"
These words are considered polite, and the expression in his eyes indicates that you are the elder.
The nurse wanted to struggle, but she couldn't say anything to defend herself, so she had to go back to the medicine box to get medicine.
"Mom, listen to the nurse."
Zhao Linyi didn't take Jiang Ning's words seriously at all. After swallowing the medicine, she ordered: "Let the distinguished guests outside the door come in."
When the housekeeper heard this, he almost couldn't stand.
He was the housekeeper of the Zhao family manor. When guests came to visit, he did not report to the owner of the Zhao family. Instead, he ignored the owner at home and reported to someone else. Even if that person was Zhao Linyi's son, it was not acceptable.
If Zhao Linyi cared about it, losing her job would be considered a relief. If the Jiang family felt that she had received money and tipped off the Zhao family, then her own life would be in danger.
Coincidentally, those waiting outside the manor were really members of the Jiang family.
The housekeeper kept wiping his sweat. He was afraid that both parties would be offended today.
After Zhao Linyi finished speaking, seeing no one reacting, she raised her head and scanned the crowd.
"What? Each one of them, do you think I am air?"
There was no emotion in Jiang Ning's eyes, but her deep eyes moved, and then she took over Zhao Linyi's words:
"I know, I'll pick him up."
Zhao Linyi lazily pointed her finger at the housekeeper and said calmly:
"you go."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
The butler was so nervous that he spoke incoherently. He wiped his sweat and quickly walked out of the manor. The moment he stepped out of the manor door, his soles seemed to be greased and he rushed out quickly.
Jiang Ning's body was slightly stiff. When she sat down not far from Zhao Linyi, she looked into Zhao Linyi's eyes, revealing determination and unyielding.
"Mom, you can't touch the people outside the door."
After taking the medicine, Zhao Linyi seemed calm. Her movements in arranging the tablecloth were skillful and gentle, and she did not appear to be a mental patient at all.
"Since you dragged me into the game you set up, why don't you let me play chess?"
"Mom, you can use everyone in the Jiang family to make calculations, but not him."
"Heh...give me a reason."
"He is my brother, a true brother. He saved your son from the siege and saved me in the Jiang family."
Zhao Linyi arranged the tableware on the table intentionally or unintentionally, like an executioner, leisurely sharpening the knife in front of everyone, but she did not mention who she was going to touch next.
"What kind of brother or lover? In twenty years' time, whether he is a human or a ghost, we will have nothing to do with you. As for now, whether we can cooperate or not, I have to judge."
Jiang Ning frowned slightly and whispered:
"I'm not on a blind date. If you do this, it will cause him to misunderstand. If you see him, it means that I don't trust him. Doing this will only affect our cooperative relationship."
Jiang Ning seemed to be sincere, but in fact she made the matter obvious and asked Zhao Linyi to give in.
But is Zhao Linyi a fuel-efficient lamp?
"I've already called for him. He will come if he can. If he doesn't come, don't even think about cooperating. After all, I only hate the Jiang family, and you have to be the same as me!"
"mom……"
"Don't call me mom, he still has to have the courage to come in. If he doesn't have the courage, there will be no need to cooperate!"
Jiang Ning tried to explain, but the housekeeper had already knocked on the door. He was so quick to invite people, and it only took a few minutes to invite Jiang Ning, who was one kilometer away from the manor, into the manor.
"Madam, Master, we are here."
"Let them in."
The door was pushed open, and people outside the door entered one after another.
Zhao Linyi was stunned for a second, and there was something strange in her eyes.
Jiang Ning crossed her arms and sat back on the chair, with a trace of sadness lingering in her eyes.
He did not look at the person coming in from the door, but glanced at Zhao Linyi from the corner of his eye. Logically speaking, according to Zhao Linyi's temperament, no matter who it was, she would not take it seriously. Even if it was superficial, she would not bother to do it.
.
But at this moment, the smile in Zhao Linyi's eyes and corners of her mouth was so real that Jiang Ning once doubted whether it was true or not. After all, it must be a lot of strength for Zhao Linyi to be able to show such a smile in front of the Jiang family.
"Hello, aunt."
Jiang Huaiye's voice reached Jiang Ning's ears, which was really annoying. If you have anything to do, you can't wait until you get back. Why don't you have to come to Zhao's house to wade in the muddy water? The Chen family's matter has not been completely resolved. At this moment, Jiang Huaiye's coming to Zhao's house will only result in more gain than loss.
.
"Hello, aunt."
Another greeting, the soft and familiar female voice blew through Jiang Ning's heart like a wisp of autumn wind, sweeping away the heat and boredom in his heart.
When he raised his eyes to look at the woman, his eyes were shining, and Zhao Linyi could see through it at a glance.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Ning tried her best to control her inner restlessness and looked into Su Meng's eyes, which were full of disbelief.
"me?"
Su Meng pointed at herself and asked Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning murmured in her heart: If not you, who else could it be?
Seeing that no one else responded, Su Meng quickly explained:
"Oh, the school is taking a group photo this afternoon. Director Zhao wanted you to take a photo with your classmates, so he asked me to come over and invite you."
Jiang Ning was secretly happy in her heart, but her mind was sober.
It was just for taking pictures. You could obviously ask yourself online if you were free and if you could go, so why did Su Meng have to make this trip in person?
Even if Su Meng wanted to invite her in person in order to appear sincere, then why did she and Jiang Huaiye appear at the Zhao Manor at the same time?
Jiang Ning suppressed her inner joy, her face darkened, and she didn't answer. Instead, she asked slightly unhappily: "Invite me? Or do you have ulterior motives?"
"...There is an ulterior motive."
Jiang Ning didn't expect Su Meng to answer so simply. She came to him with "ulterior motives." She was so straightforward in front of so many people. She wouldn't confess to her in the next second? Then what should she do?
How to answer? Do you want to agree first?
"Director Zhao prepared some things for Auntie, and asked me to give them to you to forward to Auntie. By chance, I met Mr. Jiang on the way to the Jiang Group. Mr. Jiang said you were here, so I followed."
Ha, ha... Jiang Ning's face darkened, and if you look closely, it looked like she was doing acrobatics and changing her face, changing her appearance from moment to moment.
When Su Meng stepped forward and handed the thing to Zhao Linyi, she could see his "performance" up close.
But what happened to the gauze on his face? It seems like there is still blood oozing out. Could it be that he had a fight with the gang last night and hurt his face? His face is so serious, but his body...
Su Meng and Jiang Ning looked at each other, and they forgot to let go until the things were handed over to Zhao Linyi.
Zhao Linyi looked at Su Meng with interest, and naturally compared Su Meng and Chen Ruichu in her mind.
The girl in front of me was quite honest and didn't try to please her, and her words made people feel comfortable.
"Girl, thank you."
With one word, Su Meng came back to her senses and quickly let go of her hand.
"No, you're welcome..." This chapter has been completed!
