Ye Ming was shocked when he saw that Lu Nianzi suddenly gave him a red envelope, and the red envelope was quite big. At the same time, he was very confused: According to the customs in some places in Tianjiang Province, if it is the first time for a relative to come to his home, or if it is his own When the spouse of your children comes to your door for the first time, the elder will send something or give a red envelope. In rural areas, better families usually send fabrics and clothes, and worse families just send a towel or a few An egg must be "meaningful", otherwise it will be thought that the family does not understand etiquette and rules.
But now, Lu Nianzi suddenly gave herself a red envelope, and the reason she said was that it was the first time that she came to her house today, so she wanted to express her meaning, that is to say: she truly regarded herself as the number one priority. The relatives who came to her home for the first time looked at this, which made Ye Ming both touched and a little embarrassed.
Of course, Ye Ming would never have dreamed that he and this high-ranking "Director Lu" of the National Development and Reform Commission were real siblings and real relatives. That's why Lu Nianzi would show up when he first came to her house. , give him such a big red envelope...
Zhang Yan, who was standing nearby, also misunderstood Lu Nianzi's meaning and thought that she really wanted to act as a matchmaker for her and introduce herself to Ye Ming, so she regarded Ye Ming as her "prospective brother-in-law" and arranged for him to marry her. The first time he came to her house, she gave him a big red envelope. I couldn't help but feel happy and ashamed, and at the same time I was full of gratitude to my attentive and considerate sister-in-law.
Therefore, when she saw that Ye Ming was still hesitant to accept the red envelope, she blushed and glanced at Ye Ming charmingly, and whispered: "Ye Ming, this is the hospitality rule of Tianjiang Province, and it is also my rule. Please don't refuse my sister-in-law's kindness. Look, my sister-in-law's eyes are red. She is very reluctant to leave you. Sister-in-law, thank you."
When Lu Nianzi heard Zhang Yan say "Thank you", he looked at her inexplicably. He saw her cheeks were flushed, her expression was shy, and her eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at her brother. Then she suddenly realized: It turns out that this sister-in-law of hers, Thinking that her sister-in-law gave Ye Ming a red envelope because of her, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, but she didn't say anything. She nodded to Zhang Yan and stuffed the red envelope into Ye Ming's hand.
Seeing that Lu Nianzi spoke sincerely, and that Zhang Linjiang who was following her was looking at him with kind and enthusiastic eyes, Ye Ming stopped refusing, took the red envelope, and said to Lu Nianzi and Zhang Linjiang After thanking him, he and Zhang Yan walked to the elevator entrance.
On the way back to the hotel, Zhang Yan was always in a state of excitement and shyness. The blush on her face never dissipated. She was also a little absent-minded while driving. From time to time, she turned her head and glanced at the serious person sitting in the passenger seat. Ye Ming, who was sitting in the seat, opened his mouth to ask him a few words several times, but was unable to do so because of shyness.
After a few minutes of silence, Ye Ming's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and looked at the number, but it was the same cell phone number that Chen Mengqi used in the provincial capital.
Ye Ming quickly pressed the answer button and said, "Hello Qiqi, why are you still not sleeping at this time? Do you have anything to do with me?"
Chen Mengqi did not answer his words, and there was only a slight "hissing" sound coming from the receiver.
"Qiqi, please tell me where you are now, at home or at the Jinqiao Hotel."
Chen Mengqi still didn't speak. After about half a minute, Ye Ming suddenly heard a suppressed and slight sobbing coming from inside, and then the call was hung up.
Seeing Chen Mengqi hang up the phone, Ye Ming hurriedly called back, but a voice prompt came from inside: "Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off."
Ye Ming put his phone back into his bag with a sense of loss, rested his head on the cushion behind him, put his hands behind his head, and fell into a state of worry and contemplation.
Since breaking up with Chen Mengqi in Xinleng, Ye Ming has never seen her again, and the two of them have never spoken on the phone.
According to Ye Ming's idea, he originally wanted to keep in touch with Chen Mengqi, but every time he picked up the phone and prepared to dial her number, he felt that he really couldn't say anything to Chen Mengqi.
Moreover, because of my relationship with Chen Yi and being known by Chen Mengqi, I would feel a little embarrassed if I talked to Chen Mengqi again: she is so kind to me and so infatuated. Even after knowing about her ambiguous relationship with Chen Yi, she still hopes to be able to talk to her. Being with him only required him to cut off the relationship with Chen Yi in the future. This made him feel full of guilt towards Chen Mengqi and felt that he owed her a huge debt emotionally.
Moreover, he estimated that although Chen Mengqi was very kind and infatuated with him, after being so emotionally hurt, especially after she refused to sever ties with Chen Yi and refuse to be with her, her feelings towards him Strong love may turn into equally strong hate.
Although, before Chen Mengqi left Xinleng, she was still affectionate towards herself in the text messages she sent to her, and did not seem to show any hatred. However, who can guarantee that after she returned to the provincial capital, she would be in a strong mood? Under the control of frustrated emotions, you will not hate yourself.
Because of these worries and concerns, Ye Ming never had the courage to call Chen Mengqi again, and Chen Mengqi seemed to have completely forgotten about Ye Ming and never called him again.
Ye Ming analyzed that there were two possibilities for why Chen Mengqi stopped contacting him: first, she did have a strong resentment towards herself, so she no longer wanted to have anything to do with him; second, she already had a boyfriend. , or you have a suitor, you already have sustenance in your heart, and you don’t want to contact yourself anymore.
Judging from some of the feedback they gave me after waking up, the second possibility is very high.
It turned out that just a few days ago, Su Xing called Ye Ming and asked him what was going on with Chairman Chen Yuanqiao's daughter and whether they had broken up.
Ye Ming asked him: "How did you know?"
Su Xing said regretfully: "Old classmate, it would be a pity if you really broke up with Chen Mengqi. I have more contacts with her now, and I do a lot of business in her hands. I think she is a very kind-hearted person." , a very virtuous and good girl, besides, her family background is so good and she is so beautiful, how could you let go of such a good girl so easily.
"Let me tell you: According to my observation, Xia Haoyu from Huayu Heavy Industry launched a fanatical pursuit of Chen Mengqi after she returned to the provincial capital. Almost every time I go to Jinqiao Group to do business, I can see Xia Haoyu chasing Chen Mengqi. The office was guarded, and once I heard the sales manager of Jinqiao Group say: It will be the birthday of their eldest lady in a few days. Mr. Xia Haoyu, the young boss of Huayu Group, is planning to hold a birthday party for their eldest lady at the Jinqiao Hotel. Propose to the eldest lady on the spot."
