Chapter 134 She still wants to go back for the New Year
As soon as Jiang Tingwan stepped out of the elevator, she saw Wen Nian leaning against the Cayenne in the lobby.
The boy's gray hair glowed softly silver under the overhead light. He was looking down at his phone, vaguely fixed on the chat interface.
Hearing the footsteps, he immediately looked up and his eyes lit up.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming earlier?" Jiang Tingwan didn't expect him to come here to pick her up. She waved to the driver to leave and frowned slightly.
"I just sent a message." Wen Nian's ears turned red when she heard this: "It's just that my sister didn't reply to me..."
That’s true…
Jiang Tingwan thought of the misunderstanding just now. Well, it was really not his fault this time.
She turned her face away and said softly, "Just now, I sent it to the wrong person."
Wen Nian looked at her expression and realized that this reaction could not be fake.
"Okay, sister..." His voice lowered a little, with a bit of loss.
Jiang Tingwan couldn't help but glance at him when she heard this.
Is this something to be disappointed about?
-----------------------------------------------
The car was so quiet that the only sound was the rustling of papers.
Wen Nian stole a glance at the person next to her and saw that she was concentrating on reviewing the documents, so he didn't dare to disturb her.
Jiang Tingwan didn't close the folder until he drove into the building's parking lot.
"Project plan." She handed the folder to Wen Nian: "Although you don't care about the money, you must follow the necessary procedures."
After all, he can treat these as a joke, but she still has to do her part, otherwise she would really be "eating for free".
"But," Wen Nian took the document, looked at her businesslike manner, and asked softly, "Sister, don't you ask me why I chose to eat at home?"
"What do you want to ask?" Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows and blurted out, it's not like they haven't eaten at home before.
Wen Nian looked at her reaction and swallowed the words in his mouth.
In the restaurant, Wen Nian was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron. This figure made Jiang Tingwan a little dazed.
Is he trying to bring up her past memories again?
But even if they did, what would it matter... She didn't have any thoughts about him at that time.
When the first dish was served, she took a bite - it tasted mediocre, far inferior to the last dish which was so delicious.
Sure enough, someone was hired to do it that time.
"Today, I want to get to know my sister again." Wen Nian nervously observed her expression, "as my true self."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Jiang Tingwan paused while picking up the food. "The real you? Are you the eldest son of the Wen family, or the financial advisor of the European mafia?"
She had already found out his background, and the incident in the casino was just a follow-up act.
But she didn't expect the kidnapping was related to him.
"So," Wen Nian was a little surprised: "Sister knew about this a long time ago?"
Then why wasn't he treated like this before?
"Yeah." Jiang Tingwan picked up the food as usual, "What's wrong?"
"Then why..." There was undisguised confusion in his eyes.
"Wen Nian," Jiang Tingwan interrupted him sternly, putting down his chopsticks, "hiding your identity is of no concern to me."
Her eyes were calm and peaceful, and she felt a little nervous when she met Wen Nianquan. "But I hate it most when others plot against my feelings."
I see.
Wen Nian's fingers clenched the napkin and lowered his eyes: "I'm sorry."
"I just hope you won't make this mistake to others again." Jiang Tingwan said slowly.
Wen Nian looked at Jiang Tingwan's profile as she lowered her eyes to eat, and her eyes dimmed a little.
But from beginning to end, he only had this kind of thought about her.
No one else.
Jiang Tingwan looked at Wen Nian's distraught look and admitted her mistake in a good manner.
She softened her tone and picked up her chopsticks again, "The food is not bad. Let's eat."
Wen Nian's dull eyes brightened up a little when he heard this, like a child who got candy.
Outside the window, the night in the port city deepens.
I wonder if this game that started with lies will open a new chapter.
-----------------------------------------------
Jiang Tingwan hadn't seen Song Zhi for a while, and thought that they had moved on since that incident in the hospital, and he finally understood what was more important.
Everything went on in an orderly manner, except for the occasional distraction from hearing and remembering.
Jiang Tingwan planned to return to Kyoto after dealing with the current matters.
But at this moment, her fingers holding the mouse trembled slightly, and she looked at the words on the screen with some disbelief.
The news of Song Zhi and Ou Ya's engagement exploded like a bomb throughout the upper class circles of Hong Kong.
She stared at the names standing side by side on the interface, feeling puzzled.
Ou Ya and Song Zhi?
got engaged?
Are these two people crazy?
But she couldn't contact Ou Ya at all. Could it be that she returned to her grandfather's house to form an alliance with the Song family?
Why is she so crazy? Doesn't she dislike Song Zhi?
Jiang Tingwan felt a little uneasy, but they didn't give her an invitation.
What on earth are these two people doing? Song Zhi doesn't care, but what about Ou Ya?
She knows how hard it is to marry someone who doesn't love her. Does Ou Ya actually treat her marriage as a joke?
-------------------------------------------------
The day of the engagement party.
Jiang Tingwan rushed straight into the backstage dressing room.
Ou Ya was adjusting her diamond earrings in front of the mirror. Her delicate face after makeup was reflected in the mirror. When she saw Jiang Tingwan, she paused, "Tingwan? Why are you here?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Tingwan locked the door with her backhand and narrowed her eyes. Ou Ya's face showed no expectation of engagement, which further confirmed her guess. "Tell me, when did you get in touch with Song Zhi again?"
Ou Ya stared at her anxious eyes for a moment, thinking that she was looking at her the same way as you did on the cruise ship, checking her injuries.
Ou Ya turned around, hiding her emotions, and her wedding dress covered the entire sofa: "What's wrong with this?"
She tilted her head like an innocent girl, "Even if grandpa is unreliable, I still have an ATM that doesn't care about me and gives me money to spend."
"You are kidding your own happiness!" Jiang Tingwan grabbed her wrist, "Song Zhi is doing this for--"
"As for the equity, I know." Ou Ya suddenly leaned in close, her red lips almost touching her earlobe, "That's why I should agree."
Jiang Tingwan's hand paused. What did she mean by "she should agree even more"?
She knew about the relationship between Jiang Tingwan and Song Zhi before. When Song Zhi came to her, she saw the paranoia in his eyes.
Although it was unclear what Jiang Tingwan thought of Song Zhi, Ou Ya knew that if Song Zhi had feelings for her, someone like Jiang Tingwan who had no backing would probably not be able to match Song Zhi's strength in Hong Kong City.
If Jiang Tingwan liked Song Zhi, she had heard about Song Zhi's mother's temper, and the Song family would never allow them to be together.
What's more, at this juncture, the illegitimate son of the Song family has been taking action frequently. After finding that he can't bite off Song Zhi, this hard bone, he will definitely start to work on other aspects.
Jiang Tingwan, who had been in a big quarrel with him not long ago, might be the next target.
In that case, why doesn't she just go with the flow and act as a shield for her?
"If you like him," Ou Ya's fingertips brushed across Jiang Tingwan's tense jaw, "I'll cover for you, and I'll take care of his mother."
She smiled brightly again, pretending to be relaxed, "If you don't like it, I'll act like a shrew and help you stop him, how about that?"
In the mirror, the reflections of the two women overlap.
Jiang Tingwan looked at the broken light in Ou Ya's eyes, which was exactly the same as the light in Ruan Yue's eyes at the beginning.
"You're crazy too," she whispered.
----------------------------------------------
In the men's dressing room, Song Zhi was leaning against the window smoking, his eyes dark and unclear.
The door suddenly opened and Jiang Tingwan rushed in.
The incident happened suddenly, and she had no better solution for the time being. But she still didn't want Ou Ya to treat her marriage as a joke.
There are too many examples of pain caused by arranged marriages, such as marrying someone who does not love you, such as Ou Ya's mother and Song Zhi's mother. She doesn't want Ou Ya to become like this.
What's more, this fool did this because he was worried that she would be bullied.
This idiot.
"Cancel the engagement." Jiang Tingwan stood in front of Song Zhi and grabbed his wrist without saying anything. She said in a voice that did not allow for rejection: "As we said before, I will go with you."
Song Zhi didn't expect her to break in at this moment.
Song Cheng is seriously ill and has little time left. Since Jiang Tingwan is unwilling to listen to his protection, he has no choice but to ask Ou Ya to divert the attention of those illegitimate children who are ready to make a move. Ou Ya is the only one who can be trusted.
Fortunately, Ou Ya agreed readily, and he also needed help from other parties.
The two hit it off immediately, and by this time people were already coming and going outside the banquet hall, with the engagement news already announced.
But at this moment, she held his hand and said she wanted to "go with him"?
Song Zhi looked at the determined eyes of the person in front of him. His plans were always prudent and he never made such impulsive decisions.
What's more, if he really left like this, it would give those illegitimate children something to talk about. And his mother, if she knew the truth, would definitely hate Jiang Tingwan even more.
But the person he thought about day and night was right in front of him, and there was a dark tide in his eyes. She stood in front of him in a professional suit, not afraid of the consequences of all this.
However, he seemed to have never seen the emotion called "fear" in her eyes. She had an extraordinary decisiveness and rationality.
But she must be aware of the consequences of doing this. She said he was a lunatic before, but isn't she the same?
Song Zhi stared into her eyes, feeling her warmth on his wrist, and finally spoke slowly:
"good."
No hesitation, no explanation.
He pulled off his bow tie and threw it on the ground, then pulled her to open the dressing room door.
Outside, people were toasting and waiting to witness the marriage of the eldest son of the Song family.
Little did they know that Song Zhi had already walked out of the back door of the banquet hall.
The phone vibrated wildly in my pocket.
Song Zhi took it out of his pocket, but without even looking at it, he threw it out of the car window.
The black sports car smashed through the rain curtain, but the interior of the car was eerily quiet.
Jiang Tingwan turned his head to look outside the car and sighed silently in his heart.
She also wants to go back to celebrate the New Year...
----------------------------------------------
The Wen family mansion was brightly lit, and the light reflected from the chandeliers was reflected on the smooth marble floor.
Wen Ci threw a stack of financial statements heavily in front of Wen Nian, and the papers scattered all over the floor.
"What are you doing recently?" Wen Ci frowned and spoke in a cold voice, "Using my money to play around? Did you go to college for nothing? Are you giving money to others?"
Facing the constant questioning, Wen Nian leaned lazily on the leather sofa, his gray hair shining silver under the light.
He shrugged and smiled nonchalantly: "Dad, you don't understand this, right? I call this foresight."
Wen Ci snorted coldly and turned his gaze to his subordinate standing beside him: "Tell me, what has he been doing recently?"
The subordinate glanced at Wen Nian nervously, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Why are you looking at him?" Wen Ci slapped the coffee table: "Speak!"
"Young Master..." The subordinate swallowed, "has been having dinner with a female president of an investment bank."
"Female president?" A lazy female voice came from the spiral staircase.
Mother Wen walked down slowly in her high heels, her cheongsam outlining her still graceful figure, with a playful smile on her beautiful face, "Has our little Nian finally come to her senses?"
She used to send people to bring him back every day for blind dates, but he kept hiding. Now he is giving money to some "female CEO"?
She walked to Wen Nian and gently touched his forehead with her fingertips: "So many famous ladies and daughters were arranged for you before, but you didn't even look at them. What are you doing now? Have you met a girl you like?" Her tone was full of ridicule.
Wen Nian pursed her lips, and the cynicism on her face subsided a little: "Mom, don't worry about it."
When Wen's mother saw his reaction, she curled her red lips slightly and looked at her husband: "It seems that our son has grown up."
Wen Ci frowned even more tightly, but looking at his wife's smiling eyes, he didn't say anything after all, just snorted coldly: "Don't mess around."
Wen Nian was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up nonchalantly, but his face suddenly darkened: "What? It's gone?"
He sent someone to follow Jiang Tingwan to ensure her safety, but now he tells him that the person is missing?
Young Master Wen, who had been at ease just now, now had a frown on his face.
Wen's mother keenly caught this detail and exchanged glances with her husband.
It seems that this time, the kid from their family is serious about it.
Wen Nian had already grabbed his coat and went out, his gray hair messy in the wind.
Wen Ci looked at his son's panicked back and suddenly laughed out loud: "You little brat, you've got this day too."
Mother Wen sipped her tea elegantly, a hint of smile flashing through her eyes: "Go check on that 'Mr. Jiang'."
Her son has always been disobedient. When she asked him to go to school, he went to Europe to hang out with gangsters. When she asked him to come back for a blind date, he simply disappeared.
She was very curious, what kind of girl could make him show such an expression?
