Chapter 153 Fake besties, just plastic friendship
The next day.
Jiang Ning went down the mountain with a lot of things.
There are rice dumplings, green rice balls, the matsutake wine that was made earlier, and various mountain products that have been preserved after being dried.
If it weren't for the help of the Lingbao Space, it would be difficult to carry such a pile of things even if you carried them on your shoulders or in your hands.
After arriving in the city, Jiang Ning didn't bother to go to the market, but went straight to the department store.
If she wants to see Lin Shijiao, she must see Gu Qingwan first.
Gu Qingwan seemed to know that she would come and was waiting for her in the sewing shop next to the department store.
A hearty breakfast was also prepared.
There are tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, wontons, and steamed dumplings.
Gurgle gurgle.
When Jiang Ning saw these delicious foods, his internal organs started to make noises.
This place is located in the southwest, and the customs and eating habits are very different. Things like this, which are very common breakfast in the south, are rare here.
Although Jiang Ning can do it himself, it is complicated and requires a lot of effort.
At this moment, in front of you.
The tofu pudding is steaming and the fried dough sticks are fragrant.
She's craving this!
Gu Qingwan raised her red lips and smiled slightly.
"Don't look at it, these are specially prepared for you, sit down and eat."
Jiang Ning was not the kind of person who would get entangled, so he thanked him and sat down.
Before picking up the fragrant fried dough sticks, she looked left and right, but still didn't see the person she wanted to see.
I could only ask Gu Qingwan directly.
"Where's Jiaojiao? Didn't she come?"
"You are now her most hated enemy. Do you think she still wants to see you?"
Gu Qingwan did not answer, but gave Jiang Ning the answer by asking a counter-question.
Yesterday in the military compound, something happened that embarrassed Lin Shijiao, and Jiang Ning's identity was that he was the one who snatched Qin Jiulie from Lin Shijiao.
Such double layers of buff are stacked together.
Lin Shijiao hated Jiang Ning so much that she couldn't wait to see her.
Jiang Ning's expression became a little heavier because of Gu Qingwan's words.
Especially when I think of what Gao Fang said, that as soon as Lin Shijiao left the compound gate, she hid herself and cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound...
Most people really can't bear such a situation.
but.
Jiang Ning frowned and thought for a moment, but under Gu Qingwan's gaze, he gently shook his head.
"Although Jiaojiao is a little willful, I don't think she is such a petty and extreme person."
If Lin Shijiao was really stingy, she wouldn't have said thank you to her for a bag of pickled plums on the third floor of the department store.
If Lin Shijiao was really so extreme, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin would never have allowed Lin Shijiao to send condolences when they knew she was pregnant.
Those two old people have experienced so many ups and downs, so their judgment of people is definitely correct.
The reason they asked Lin Shijiao to make this trip is that they must have sensed changes in Lin Shijiao in recent days.
And want to ease the relationship between her and Lin Shijiao.
Unfortunately...
The sisters-in-law in the compound meant well but ended up doing something bad.
Inside the house.
After hearing what Jiang Ning said, Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She asked again.
"Lin Shijiao has been eyeing Qin Jiulie for more than ten years. Now you have snatched away her favorite man and given birth to a child. You can finally sit firmly on the throne of Mrs. Qin. She hates you so much that she hates the child in your belly even more. She wants to... get rid of it as soon as possible!
Anyway, she is the most beloved granddaughter of General Qin, so even if she gets into trouble, there will be someone to protect her.
Jiang Ning, do you really think she doesn't have such thoughts? ”
Jiang Ning finally picked up the fried dough stick and took a bite of the crispy and fragrant one.
But then I heard what Gu Qingwan said again.
Now the fried dough sticks in my mouth have no taste again.
and……
There is a strong sense of sowing discord in these words.
Jiang Ning looked at Gu Qingwan.
Gu Qingwan also looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning looked calm, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Gu Qingwan's pair of thin and long phoenix eyes seemed even sharper, as if they could see straight through Jiang Ning's heart.
This kind of look can easily give people a sense of provocation or even intimidation.
What's more, Gu Qingwan is the successor of the Gu family and the real boss of the department store.
She has been in power for a long time, so naturally she exudes an aura of oppression.
For example, the same is true for Qin Jiulie.
As soon as he frowned, the soldiers under his command would tremble uncontrollably.
If someone else was under Gu Qingwan's gaze, they would probably have been panicked.
However.
Although Jiang Ning looks weak, he is a man who has experienced many ups and downs after all.
She only looks soft, but her mind is tougher than most people. ◆
Facing Gu Qingwan's pressure and temptation.
She pursed her lips and sneered softly.
He asked back.
"If Lin Shijiao is really such a person, would you feel comfortable being her true friend?"
The sharp sword tip suddenly turned and pointed towards Gu Qingwan.
Gu Qingwan was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Jiang Ning to ask instead of answering.
But after all, he is a person who has been trained in the business world since childhood.
She quickly concealed her emotions again and continued with her previous forced smile.
"How do you know that she and I are true friends? I can't be attracted by her relationship with the Qin family and deliberately get close to her. We are just fake besties, just plastic friendship."
Jiang Ning frowned when he heard this.
It wasn't because of the harsh words Gu Qingwan said, but because she really couldn't figure out what Gu Qingwan's intention was.
Is it a test?
Is it a provocation?
Or do you want to speak up for Gu Qingwan and embarrass her on purpose?
Jiang Ning felt that neither was true.
Lin Shijiao is not such a person, and Gu Qingwan would not have such low tastes.
Based on Jiang Ning's understanding of Gu Qingwan, she is a person with a bold personality. If she really wanted to vent her anger for Lin Shijiao, she probably would not let her in today, or even directly terminate their previous cooperation.
This kind of decisiveness and straightforwardness is Gu Qingwan's style.
Now she is sarcastic and aggressive, and there is always an unclear fog around her.
Jiang Ning simply stopped thinking about it.
She said directly.
"From the first time I met Jiaojiao, Grandma Qin said something to me. She said, 'Jiaojiao is actually a kind-hearted child.'"
Gu Qingwan asked, "Do you believe what Grandma Qin said?"
"I believe it. I believe in the way Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin judge people. Their granddaughter, whom they have loved for more than ten years, will never do anything wicked. I also believe that with more than ten years of education from Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, the Qin family will never raise a wicked person."
Gu Qingwan asked again.
"Just because of Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, you trust Lin Shijiao?"
"Of course, there are also my own feelings. I believe in Lin Shijiao and never doubt her. I don't think she would be so crazy as to attack an unborn child. Miss Gu, don't you think so in your heart?"
Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes, and his eyes became sharp.
