Jiang Yining stood not far away, feeling a little helpless when she saw the expression on Yu Zhi's face.
He didn't want to be called by this name.
"No, change it."
"No, I think it sounds good, that's it."
Yu Zhi's brows were furrowed, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was not angry at all.
The male companion next to me asked in a low voice, "Would you like to come over and say hello?"
Jiang Yining knew that she shouldn't have gone there. After that night, Jiang's mother strictly prohibited her from interacting with the Yu family anymore.
The Jiang family is very strict in their upbringing and does not want their daughter to defer to others.
But Jiang Yining still walked over and said hello to the head office, right?
When Yu Zhi raised his eyes and saw her, the smile on his face faded a lot.
"Yu Zhi, Miss Xu."
Xu Yanqing nodded lightly to Jiang Yining, "Hello."
A man dressed like a waiter came over and handed a red post to Yu Zhi.
He didn't reach out to take it, "I'm not free."
Xu Yanqing didn't understand what this meant, "Do you have a social gathering? You go and do your work. I can do it here alone."
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
"This is to ask the young man to dance on stage with his female companion." Jiang Yining explained, "Miss Xu, please dance with him."
"Do I have to jump?" Xu Yanqing asked softly.
"No need." Yu Zhi refused on her behalf.
"It doesn't have to be a dance, I can't."
Jiang Yining should have expected that Xu Yanqing was not in the same circle as them.
The waiter still held up the invitation and said, "How about I find another dance partner?"
Isn’t it already available here?
Who doesn't know that Miss Jiang graduated from a professional dance academy and won a national award? All the men who want to dance with her are lining up outside Nanhuai City.
Yuzhi became a little impatient and raised his hand to signal the man to get down.
"I'm not in the mood to dance."
Jiang Yining was stung by these words. He was actually unwilling to give her the next best thing.
Jiang Yining took the invitation from the waiter and said, "I'll dance, okay?"
"Yi Ning, my dancing skills are not very good." The male partner next to her wanted to calm her down.
"Miss Xu, can I borrow Mr. Yu's help?"
Yu Zhi always thought that Jiang Yining was a smart person, at least she would not put herself in too embarrassing a situation. Xu Yanqing sat on the side without much reaction.
"Just ask him directly. If he is willing, I will never stop him."
At this time, if Yu Zhi dares to say a good word, the husband he wants to hear will be hopeless in this life, right?
He shook his head, "No, you can find someone else."
Jiang Yining took a breath, but didn't bother.
"That's good."
She dragged the male companion next to her and walked forward. Xu Yanqing glanced at her back, like a proud peacock, and she glanced at her again stubbornly.
The man immediately sat up straight and said, "Did I say something right?"
"Yu Zhi, are you good at dancing? I don't think I've ever seen one."
"Then do you want to see it?"
Xu Yanqing couldn't imagine it, "Have you danced with Miss Jiang before?"
This was a farewell proposition. Yuzhi calmed his expression and said, "No, after you left me and left, I was like a walking zombie. How could I have such thoughts."
"I didn't abandon you."
Xu Yanqing even thought that Yu Zhi had abandoned her.
Xu Yanqing will always remember the figure she saw from behind on the long street in Suzhou City.
Yu Zhi leaned against her forehead and said, "None of us should ever leave the other person behind. Just like this, how about we stay together for the rest of our lives?"
When Jiang Yining was about to do the opening dance, she glanced in the direction of Yu Zhi.
His eyes were directed at Xu Yanqing without hesitation.
Jiang Yining wanted to attract his attention, even just a little bit, even just for a while.
She didn't want to admit that she was in a bad situation. She had been waiting for two years without even a look from him.
Tonight, she is the center of attention, the proud daughter of the Jiang family, the daughter of the Jiang family whose background is beyond the reach of Xu Yan.
Every dance move she makes is clean and beautiful, which she has earned through hard work for more than 20 years.
She also wanted Xu Yanqing to see how good she was. In comparison, Xu Yanqing would be self-aware, right?
When receiving applause, Jiang Yining looked at Yu Zhi again.
Xu Yanqing applauded seriously, "You dance so well."
But Yu Zhi was looking at her.
"Why are you joining in the fun? You don't like watching dancing."
"I like to see beautiful women dancing."
After hearing this, Yu Zhi turned his gaze to the crowd. There was no movement in his eyes, he just glanced at Jiang Yining.
Whether she danced well or failed, it had little to do with him.
Yu Zhi's cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Governor Gao.
His face was slightly stern, and he patted Xu Yanqing's shoulder lightly, "I'll answer the phone and be right back."
"good."
There were beads of sweat on Jiang Yining's forehead, and she walked straight towards Xu Yanqing.
After all, there was a big gap between the two of them, so it was quite awkward when they were alone together.
Xu Yanqing sincerely praised her, "Miss Jiang dances so well. She can captivate the whole city with her dance. That's what I'm talking about."
Jiang Yining's face felt a little loose, but the more it became like this, the more difficult it was for her to accept it.
"Have you never thought about what you will do with him in the future? You don't know anything, and you will hold him back."
Xu Yanqing was not angry and had a faint smile on his lips.
"Ms. Jiang, are you worried about me?"
Jiang Yining was wearing a high-end dress. Seeing Xu Yanqing's calm and composed look, she felt uncomfortable all over.
"If I were you, I would be ashamed of myself."
"I'm afraid I will disappoint Miss Jiang." When Xu Yanqing said this, he did not go against his will. "No one stipulates how good one needs to be to be his girlfriend...or wife. He has never given it to me.
I can't reach a standard and background, and I can't reach someone as outstanding as you."
This is something given by the family of origin, and no one can change it.
"But..." Xu Yanqing paused and then said, "I'm not bad either."
"If he likes me and wants to be with me, there must be something about me that attracts him. Miss Jiang, my shortcomings do not make you better. There is no need to compare the two of us."
Jiang Yining's face became increasingly ugly.
Did Xu Yanqing want to tell her that there was no need to compare because Yu Zhi would never choose her?
After the man finished making the phone call, he came in from outside. Jiang Yining had already walked away knowingly.
Yu Zhi returned to Xu Yanqing, took her hand, and said, "Take you somewhere."
"Where are you going?"
It was too stuffy inside, so Yuzhi wanted to take her outside for a walk. There were not many people in the backyard and it was relatively quiet.
Xu Yanqing walked behind him. After taking a few steps, the man stopped.
Yu Zhi turned around and pulled her into his arms.
"Is this the good place you said?" Xu Yanqing wondered.
