Chapter 127 Jian Cheng Returns to China
Hearing her own name, Lin Youning tilted her head subconsciously. When she saw someone appearing not far away, she was still a little dazed.
She looked at the man looking at her in surprise, and was a little uncertain for a moment.
"What?" The man looked at her and raised his lips slightly, "Don't you recognize me?"
Lin Youning paused, suppressing his inner surprise, "Jian Cheng?"
She was just surprised. When did Jian Cheng return to China? !
Taking her surprise in his eyes, Jian Cheng chuckled, "It's me. Are you surprised?"
Lin Youning paused for a moment, then smiled calmly, "When did you return to China?"
"When did you return home?" Hearing this, Jian Cheng found it funny and sneered, "What do you think? Didn't your husband tell you?"
Lin Youning could tell that Jian Cheng was very resentful when he spoke to her.
She pretended not to notice his dissatisfaction and said calmly, "He probably doesn't know that you've returned to China."
"That's right." Jian Cheng sneered, "If your husband knew that I was returning to China, he would put pressure on the Jian family again and send me out."
Lin Youning didn't say anything.
Jian Cheng looked at her, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered, "Lin Youning, you are really cold-blooded."
Lin Youning was silent for a moment, then looked at him and said, "This shouldn't be the first day you've known this."
The two have known each other since childhood and are peers who often play and party together.
Although Lin Youning doesn't attend every party, Jian Cheng is almost always there. When they meet, they will exchange a few words.
All in all, they were not strangers.
Compared to when she chose Gu Huaichen, she and Jian Cheng are indeed more familiar with each other.
Lin Youning understood the hidden meaning of Jian Cheng's words. What he meant was that the two of them had been playmates for more than 20 years. Lin Youning, on the other hand, not only did she turn the tables on him, but when Gu Huaichen wanted the Jian family to send him abroad, she acquiesced without showing him any mercy.
But in fact, Lin Youning really wanted to ask him, what kind of friendship do they have?
A playmate?
Maybe there is, but the people in their circle have the most indifferent feelings. There is no real love between husband and wife, and the feelings between brothers and sisters are even weaker. Most people put interests before feelings.
What's more, for people like them, one has to use the word "barely" to say that "friendship" exists.
“…”
Hearing Lin Youning's words, Jian Cheng was so angry that he laughed, "You really are——"
He stopped mid-sentence.
Lin Youning just looked at him straight.
Jian Cheng was silent. "Want to go out and chat for a while?"
Lin Youning shook her head. "No, we probably don't have much to talk about."
Jian Cheng: “…”
He sneered, "Are you worried about what I might do to you?"
"It would be a lie if you said I wasn't worried at all," Lin Youning said frankly. "I just really feel that we don't have much to talk about."
Having said that, if Jian Cheng continues to insist, he would be really tactless.
Although he himself is a person who is ignorant and does not know how to judge the situation.
But at this moment, he and Lin Youning were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and finally he did not insist on her leaving.
"Okay." Jian Cheng turned and left, leaving behind a sentence, "You haven't changed at all."
Lin Youning: “…”
Watching Jian Cheng leave, Zhao Fu raised her hand and patted her chest, then asked in a low voice, "What a familiar name. Is he... your old friend?"
Lin Youning nodded, "Lin Mingqi found a marriage partner for me."
Zhao Fu: “Ah?”
She doesn't know about this.
Lin Youning seldom talked to her about things in her circle, and the two of them talked mostly about dance.
Lin Youning noticed her surprise and nodded, "That playboy."
When she described it like that, Zhao Fu had a slight impression of it.
She took a sip of the water on the table and looked at her. "I feel like he doesn't get along with you. He's here with bad intentions."
Lin Youning nodded, so she immediately picked up her phone and wanted to send a message to Gu Huaichen, asking him if he knew that Jian Cheng had returned to China.
After opening the conversation box between the two, Lin Youning put it down again hesitantly.
Gu Huaichen has a dinner party today, so it would be better for her to wait until he gets home after work before talking to him about this.
"Send a message to your husband?" Zhao Fu asked casually.
Lin Youning hummed, "Forget it, he has a dinner party, I'll talk to him when I get home later."
Zhao Fu nodded, glanced at the people not far away who were looking at their table, and said in a low voice, "They are looking at us, why don't we go to another restaurant?"
"The dishes have been ordered." Lin Youning reminded her, thinking, "He wouldn't do anything to me in the store."
Thinking about this, she sent a message to Uncle Li, asking him to pick her up at the barbecue restaurant.
Zhao Fu thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true. Let's go back after we finish eating."
Lin Youning responded, "I sent a message to Uncle Li, he will be here soon."
Jian Cheng's sudden appearance made Lin Youning's meal not so enjoyable.
But she seemed to have thought too much, Jian Cheng did not plan to do anything. After he and his friends finished eating, they left the barbecue restaurant first.
When he left, he didn't even say a word to Lin Youning.
This made Lin Youning feel a little relieved.
Jian Cheng had been gone for less than ten minutes when Uncle Li arrived.
After Lin Youning and Zhao Fu finished their meal and walked out of the store, they saw Li Mingda.
"Uncle Li."
"Young Madam." Li Mingda smiled slightly.
The three of them walked out, and Lin Youning said that they would send Zhao Fu back first.
Zhao Fu wanted to refuse, but in order to reassure Lin Youning, she compromised.
Before getting off the bus, she reminded Lin Youning, "Don't forget to tell your husband."
Lin Youning nodded, "Don't worry."
After Zhao Fu left, Li Mingda sent Lin Youning home.
On the way home, Lin Youning first received a string of exclamation marks from Su Ran.
Lin Youning raised her eyes slightly, and Su Ran’s new message entered WeChat: [Did you know? Jian Cheng is back to China!!!]
Lin Youning: [I just found out. How did you know? ]
Logically speaking, Jian Cheng was sent abroad by the Jian family, so even if he came back, he shouldn't have made such a big fuss.
Su Ran: [A friend saw him at a bar and was shocked! ]
Su Ran: [How did you know? Did someone tell you?]
Lin Youning: [No, I met him at the barbecue restaurant.]
Su Ran: [Oh my god! He didn’t do anything to you, did he?]
Lin Youning: [I just said a few sarcastic remarks, but it’s fine for now.]
Su Ran: [He was sent away by the Jian family under pressure from your husband. Does your husband know that he is back? ]
Lin Youning: [I wasn’t sure before, but now that you all know about it, I think he should know about it too.]
As Lin Youning expected, when Gu Huaichen was still at the dinner, Yang Xingxue, who was waiting outside, received a phone call.
After hearing clearly what was said on the phone, he frowned, knocked on the door of the private room, walked over to Gu Huaichen and whispered a few words in his ear.
After listening to what Yang Xingxue said, Gu Huaichen narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the wine glass, looked around and said, "Sorry, I have something to do and I have to leave for a while."
He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and without giving the others in the box time to react, he stood up and walked out of the box.
When Gu Huaichen called, Lin Youning was chatting about this with Su Ran.
Seeing his caller ID, Lin Youning raised her lips slightly and picked up the phone, "Boss Gu, is the dinner over?"
