Before I could say anything, the old lady became angry instantly!
She looked at Mother Shen with anger on her face, "Who gave you the trouble to come to my yard and chase guests away?"
"Grandma, it's okay!"
I remember Zhou Fang said that grandma's body couldn't withstand great joy or sorrow, so I quickly comforted her, "I came here to ask for help. Later... Zhou Fang should bring Miss Shen to see you."
As an outsider, I shouldn't be at this kind of family reunion and recognition scene.
Grandma wanted to keep me, but seeing that I insisted, she didn't say anything else.
I packed my luggage before going downstairs this morning, and soon came back down with my suitcase. Mother Shen walked me out of the yard, and only spoke with disgust when she was out of earshot of the old lady.
"If you don't have anything to do, don't come here again. Our Shen family is not one that just any Tom, Dick or Harry can climb up to!"
“Mrs. Shen.”
I stopped and didn't look at her, but just continued the conversation in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"I know you hate me because you want to get rid of me, your ex-wife, for your precious daughter. We've been on opposite sides from the beginning. But I also want to tell you that I just happened to catch Old Madam Shen's eye. I have no interest in getting involved with your Shen family."
"Who knows what you're thinking?"
She didn't believe it at all and looked at my hand pushing the suitcase. "This bracelet was given to you by the old lady, right?"
"Um."
"Oh!"
She sneered contemptuously, "You're the only beggar on the street who behaves like this!"
I suddenly lost control of my temper and said in a cold tone, "What about you? Are you always this aggressive and condescending?"
“Ruan Nanzhi!!”
Perhaps she didn't expect that even a rabbit would bite when it was angry. After just one sentence, she couldn't stand it anymore and said with a cold face, "Don't rely on the old lady to say that I dare not do anything to you!"
"What else do you want to do to me?!"
I glanced at the snow that had just fallen last night and said sarcastically, "You want me to kneel in the snow again? Madam Shen, there are still a lot of negative materials about your precious daughter."
She glared at me with her delicately made-up eyes, gritting her teeth in anger: "You really did what happened last time!"
"you guess?"
I threw down these two words, no longer matched her steps, and strode away pushing my suitcase.
This is what inspired me from what Zhou Fang said after he rescued me from the snow that day.
Anyway, no matter whether I did it or not, she will not show mercy to me.
It would be better to let me take the blame. They will be afraid instead. Even if they want to kill me, they will still have to consider their reputation.
…
After leaving the Shen family's gate, I was about to get into the car when the housekeeper chased me out.
The old lady said she was worried and asked him to arrange a driver to take me there.
On the way out of Jingcheng, my thoughts were a bit complicated.
I sent a message to Jiang Lai, asking her if she had landed in Sanya.
Her plan this year is to spend the New Year in Sanya to see if she has any romantic encounters.
It was also because of this that I agreed to let Zhou Fang come to Jingcheng to help him deal with his parents during the Chinese New Year.
As soon as the message was sent, the car radio suddenly warned: "There has been a series of traffic accidents on the Nanjiang Expressway between Jingcheng and Jiangcheng. The traffic is very congested and the road will be temporarily closed. The roads are slippery due to snow, so please..."
The driver slowly stepped on the brakes, hesitantly, "Ms. Ruan..."
I said, "Please take me to a nearby hotel. Thank you for your hard work."
It was Chinese New Year, and it was snowing and the roads were closed.
If you go around at a low speed, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. Everyone wants to hurry to have the New Year's Eve dinner with their family.
Coincidentally, the nearest hotel is the six-star hotel that Zhou Fang booked for me last time.
I was too lazy to go through the trouble anymore, so I gritted my teeth and booked a room.
I got the room card, and it was the same room I had stayed in last time.
"Ruan Ruan!! Have you been to Jiangcheng?!" As soon as I turned on the heater in the room, Jiang Lai's phone rang.
"No."
I felt a little helpless. "I thought I could get there by noon, but the road is closed."
“Thank God!!”
Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief. "Where are you? Give me your location."
I thought, “You came to Jingcheng?”
"yes!"
Her voice was charming and a little angry. "I booked a flight for noon, but I saw the news about that bastard Zhou Fang. I was afraid he'd leave you alone for the New Year, so I drove straight to Jingcheng. I only just checked my phone after getting off the highway."
My eyes welled up, I cried and laughed at the same time, I sent her the location, "So what about your Sanya, no more romantic encounters?"
"Is a romantic encounter more important or you? I won't let you spend the New Year alone."
She didn't take it seriously and changed the subject with a smile, "Besides, I heard Jingcheng is also quite suitable for a romantic encounter."
"I cannot repay your great kindness."
I couldn't help but laugh, "I can only offer food, drinks and entertainment as a token of my appreciation."
In fact, the money between her and me is almost mixed together.
No one cares about these.
However, she was very cooperative after hearing this, "Boss Ruan is very generous! I will come and curry your favor right away."
As soon as Jiang Lai came over, my mood immediately improved a lot.
She stood by the window admiring the snowy scenery of Jingcheng. "What do you think of Zhou Fang's news?"
I was stunned for a moment, "What do you think? I think this way."
"And I'm still pretending."
Jiang Lai poked my head and said, "He's interested in you, so you shouldn't be so ruthless as to seal your heart and lock your love for him, right?"
"A little bit."
I sat on the sofa, curled up my legs, stretched out my hand to indicate a small distance, and blinked. "It's that kind of level, it can be there or not."
I'm past the stage where I let love grow wildly.
Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
"That'll do."
Jiang Lai nodded and sat down next to me. "He's been waiting for the eldest daughter of the Shen family for so many years. If you rush in without knowing your way around, you'll be asking to be cannon fodder."
"Well, I know what I'm doing."
It's really unlikely that he and I would be together.
Jiang Lai couldn't hold me back, so he took me for a stroll around the ancient city of Jingcheng. The tourism industry has been booming in the past two years, and it was crowded and lively during the New Year.
Zhou Fang called me, but I didn't hear it.
When I called again, he didn't answer.
In the evening, Jiang Lai and I changed clothes at the hotel and went to the bar downstairs.
I have mixed feelings, and she even more so.
He Ting is having a wedding today.
Although they broke up, their circles are the same. Not to mention her, when I check my circle of friends, it is all filled with He Ting's wedding photos.
It's quite heartbreaking.
As I drank, the people in front of me began to overlap.
Yes, this is in the hotel, there are security guards everywhere, it is very safe.
Jiang Lai was upset and had drunk a lot. She reeked of alcohol and came over to look at me. "Are you...are you drunk?"
I shook my head vigorously, "No, I'm not drunk."
"Oh... then let's keep drinking. Don't leave until you're drunk, you stupid fucking man!"
"Um!"
I burped. "It's okay, Lailai. He Ting is not worthy of you at all..."
As he said this, he wanted to stand up and hug her, but his steps were unsteady, his left foot tripped, and he fell straight to the other side.
I once thought that someone would catch me steadily!
I pushed it open and looked at the person who came in a daze. I felt so dizzy that I could only feel a face swaying in front of me.
"Zhou...Zhou Fang?"
“…”
The man's face was terribly gloomy. He grabbed my arm to prevent me from falling. He looked at Jiang Lai and said in a deep voice, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Lai waved his hand, "I'll take care of it! Mr. Zhou, please take her to her room first!"
The man's pressure dropped a lot!
I stood beside him and shuddered unconsciously, "Zhou Fang, you, why do you look so much like that person today..."
"Who does it look like?"
"Fu...Fu Qichuan."
"...Which floor do you live on?"
“19!”
I took the room card out of my bag and put it in his hand.
As I was about to exit the elevator, I half-closed my eyes and belatedly realized, "You, how come you have time to come to see me?"
He pulled me out of the elevator and asked, "Why can't I be free?"
"Didn't we find Shen Qingli..."
As I was speaking, I felt a sharp gaze. I looked not far away and saw the man leaning nonchalantly at the door of my room. I was suddenly stunned!
Zhou Fang?!
He is Zhou Fang, so...
I seemed to wake up for a moment, shook my head, opened my eyes wide and looked at the man beside me, suddenly broke free from his hand, and sat down on the ground.
