Chapter 46 Chapter 46
After the cocktail party, Yue Qing's bag was filled with various business cards, from people from all walks of life. She didn't even have time to look at some of them, but now was not the time to look at them, as her two children were still waiting for her in the hotel room.
"Someone just came over and said that all the jewelry you're wearing today has been ordered." Lin Jian went over with her. "It's not expensive, but it's a good start."
"What?" Yu Shuqi, who had come to ask for an autograph, widened her eyes. "Are they all gone?"
She still has two rings left, and her fingers are cramping but no one cares about them.
"Maybe it's not just my fault." Yue Qing was very rational. No matter how worthy she was, there were other people who would buy those with better value for money.
Some people came to buy her jewelry, probably because Lin Jian was around, but these transactions had little to do with her, so she didn't pay much attention to them.
"It really has nothing to do with me." Lin Jian said innocently, "All the friends I know are in your bag."
She was referring to those business cards. Yueqing was having so much fun chatting with people, who would care about jewelry?
"If you become famous in the future, remember to help me out," Yu Shuqi said sourly. "By the way, I saw something like a conflict over there just now, but I was blocked from seeing it. What happened?"
Yueqing, who had been calm all the time, slowed down her pace. She felt that it was necessary to talk about this matter, but she did not mention her own experience.
"I'm sorry." She lowered her head and took out the bracelet and opened it. "I didn't protect it well, and someone broke it."
Even though it wasn't her fault, she still felt uncomfortable. If she hadn't been unable to resist and gone to the bathroom to look at it, this wouldn't have happened.
Yu Shuqi was slightly stunned.
For some reason, she felt that Yueqing was feeling so wronged and helpless that she might cry at any time.
"Who is it? Let her pay for it!" Yu Shuqi took the bracelet and said, "It's really too cheap. When I have more money, I will buy you a better quality one. It's not a big deal. Don't cry."
Like a child who breaks his favorite toy.
Amused by her own thoughts, Yu Shuqi closed the box and stuffed it back into her hands. "Even if it's broken, you have to accept it. It seems like you care about my gift so much."
Yue Qing said without hesitation: "Yes."
This word successfully made Lin Jian and Yu Shuqi stop and look at her in surprise.
The latter didn't expect Yueqing to feel so guilty and sad over a bracelet worth a few thousand yuan, while the former remembered that the two kids had said that Yueqing never said what she liked, but now she has one?
"If you say so, it seems I have to buy the more expensive one from now on." Yu Shuqi patted her hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely buy it."
Yue Qing was not thinking about the new bracelet, but he couldn't hide his inner anticipation.
I thought to myself, I should make some money for myself, at least I can give gifts to others in the future.
After entering the hotel room, the two little bombs rushed directly into Yue Qing's arms and circled around her nervously: "Has my aunt been bullied?"
They were so worried in the room, but unfortunately Uncle Lin didn't let them go out.
"We weren't bullied." Yue Qing took off their masks. "Are you scared?"
The cubs all nodded in unison, their eyes red as if they had just cried, but they still stubbornly said that they were strong and would not cry.
"Did you guys know this a long time ago?" Lin "Dehua", who finally had a moment of peace and quiet, collapsed on the sofa. "Whenever I went to your house, these two guys said you would be bullied."
"Yeah, I thought it was strange when you came to see me, and I hadn't heard you mention it. Did you know that that's why you subdued him so quickly?"
Yu Shuqi: "What happened? How come I don't know anything?"
Ke Leqing lowered his head in surprise: "Did you tell Uncle Lin that I would be bullied?"
How could she have known this in advance?
If she hadn't heard those people talking in the lounge, she wouldn't have known who this person was, nor would she have had any intention of making friends with him.
The two cubs, who were originally tearful, suddenly froze.
They were so busy worrying about their aunt that they forgot to hide their superhero identities.
"That auntie doesn't look like a good person." Little Le Jia said firmly.
Lin Jian joked: "Can you also read faces?"
"Yes."
"Then what do you think of my face?"
Little Le Jia pulled his sister's hair, and the forced sister had no choice but to stand up and look at Aunt Lin seriously: "Aunt Lin is a good person, she is very worried about me."
"Okay." Lin Jian suppressed a smile, "That's not wrong."
No one took it seriously, thinking it was just the child's intuition and worry about his aunt, so he stumbled upon it by mistake. Lin Shengxi said, "You're so serious, I thought you could tell fortunes."
The two children refused to answer and clung to their aunt again.
Yueqing gently stroked their little heads, but with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
As she said, too many coincidences no longer seem like coincidences.
The book once said that the two children were genius twins, but after getting to know them, she didn't think there was anything special about them. On the contrary, their cognitive development was slower than that of ordinary children. They still couldn't recognize a few words, which was far from being geniuses.
But if you think about it carefully, they are luckier than most people. Not to mention that when the original owner didn't care about them, they were able to grow up safely, and they could even meet photographers of Lin Jian's level instead of bad people when they went out.
It’s a magical thing in itself.
And Meibao, sometimes Meibao is like a worm in her stomach, she can tell when she is a little nervous or embarrassed. She even knew Lan Qian's purpose instantly during the audition on the crew.
Is this something a sensitive child would do?
Or was this the genius of her two children that she hadn't noticed?
Maybe this is the reason why the two children have been so successful, but she just can't seize the opportunity at all.
The cubs' voices interrupted her thoughts: "Auntie, are you cold?"
"It's okay." Yue Qing shook his head, "There's heating here."
"It's cold outside." The brother and sister jointly spread out the clothes they brought to their aunt, "My sister and I brought clothes for your aunt!"
Yueqing: "..."
"Hey, I've seen this dress in a live broadcast." Yu Shuqi laughed like a crow, "So it's real! Let me see what the visual effect is when this dress is paired with the formal dress!"
Before Yue Qing could refuse, Lin Jian took out the camera from her bag and said, "I think it's feasible. You happen to be quite popular today, so this will attract more attention."
I have to say that Yueqing was shamefully moved.
Originally, she just wanted to make a lot of money, but after this night, she suddenly felt that she could expand her horizons a little bit.
The people around her all looked at her with kind eyes and smiled, which made her feel relaxed and comfortable, and she felt that she could join in the fun.
So under everyone's encouragement, she gave up her original coat and put on the one brought by the children, and helplessly let Lin Jian take pictures while smiling.
After a while, someone knocked on the door.
Lin Shengxi asked loudly, "Who?"
Jiang Sui's voice came in: "Me."
The others then remembered: "By the way, do you still need to go to the police station?"
Only Yue Qing and Jiang Suizhi knew about the child. She let go of the two children and said, "Please take the child back after a while. I'll go with him first."
With Jiang Sui's current image, he cannot appear in the same frame with the two children.
"Don't worry." Lin Shengxi nodded. "I won't go since my brother is with you. We'll leave after you leave."
"Um."
After lowering his head and gently instructing the two children, Yueqing went to open the door.
"Leqing, don't worry about the bracelet." Yu Shuqi shouted from behind, "I'm fine!"
Jiang Sui, who was standing at the door, turned his head and looked inside after hearing the key words, and found that it was a stranger.
After the door was closed again, he asked thoughtfully, "Who gave you the bracelet?"
"Um."
Hearing the rising tone at the end of her voice, Jiang glanced sideways and found that something seemed different about Yueqing today.
After watching for a few seconds, he found that the man's eyes were slightly red and there was a faint smell of alcohol on his body. No wonder, he had been chatting and drinking with people all day, and he might have drunk quite a lot.
He guessed: "I should be in a good mood now."
"What?"
"Nothing." His eyes fell on her clothes, and Jiang Suizhi felt that he should remind her, "So you plan to wear this to the police station?"
Even when there are not many people around during the Chinese New Year, her ears will turn red for a long time.
Yue Qing looked down at herself, a smile in her eyes: "That's it."
Anyway, she really didn't care much about what others thought, and she was in a really good mood right now.
Seeing this, Jiang Suisui didn't say anything more.
And I feel that it would be more comfortable to get along with Yueqing now. At least she is in good condition. It turns out that she will show her true self after drinking.
After getting in the car, Yue Qing had his first preliminary understanding of Jiang Suizhi's financial resources. The car he drove as "Mr. Xie" seemed to be very expensive, but very low-key.
But now that this car is equipped with a driver, you can feel the difference from other cars when you sit in it. The interior is very luxurious and the smell of money is everywhere.
Suddenly, a black velvet box appeared in front of her.
She looked up in confusion.
"A gift." Jiang Sui said, "Wasn't the previous one broken?"
It’s broken, so what?
You actually bought me a new one?
"I……"
"I've already bought it." Jiang Suiji had already predicted her reaction and words and interrupted her in advance, "I picked it specially for you. It suits you and can't be given to anyone else."
But it was printed with the logo of the high-end luxury brand mentioned earlier. Yue Qing's understanding of these wealthy people was from the last time Lvy directly swiped a card. She was worried that when she opened it, there would be "a car" inside.
Jiang Suizhi: "I thought we should be considered friends now?"
"Huh?" The topic changed so quickly that Yue Qing couldn't follow his train of thought quickly and answered stupidly, "Yeah?"
If she wants to continue being the two children's aunt in the future, she will have to deal with Jiang Suizhi.
Moreover, Yue Qing felt that Jiang Suizhi was different from the domineering CEOs she had seen in novels before. She didn't know how to describe this feeling. It was like seeing the other person's unrestrainedness when riding a horse and him suddenly letting go of her hand in the bathroom.
He is a domineering boss who doesn't play by the rules.
But he is also a domineering boss who is easy to get along with.
"Then giving you a gift shouldn't be a big deal." Jiang Sui said, "It can help you calm down."
Yue Qing asked cautiously, "How much?"
“…”
Here it comes.
Fortunately, Mr. Jiang had consulted the talkative Boss Qian on some speaking skills in advance.
But the situation is a little different.
Boss Qian's reaction at the time was as if he had seen an alien: "Boss Jiang, as far as I know, if you give a gift, the other party will probably think the more expensive the better."
President Jiang was silent for a while: "Not necessarily."
Some people even buy things for themselves at bargain prices, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Ah..." Boss Qian understood.
It seems that the other party and Mr. Jiang are following the old-fashioned grassroots script.
"She definitely won't want it, so just give it to her directly. Don't give her any time to hesitate. Tell her: You are ordered to accept it. No matter how hard she tries, she won't back down. Once she feels your sincerity, she will accept it."
Even at this moment, Jiang Sui still felt that this sentence had some flaws.
He imagined what might happen after he said this, and felt that the hand that shackled others would fall on his neck in the next second.
I have to say, she was indeed a bit fierce and cool at that time.
Because of thinking too much, Mr. Jiang's neck actually started to itch a little. His eyes slid down to Yueqing's wrist, and the mole there was very eye-catching.
The clever Mr. Jiang decided to adopt the second half of Mr. Qian's suggestion.
"Knowing it was a gift, the brand gave a discount. For them, this is also a disguised investment." Jiang Ge has been in the wholesale business for a long time and has already had the "experience" of giving people free stuff. "It didn't cost much, as long as you don't mind."
Yue Qing no longer felt any burden. She took the box and said, "Even if you gave me a five-dollar plastic bracelet, I wouldn't mind."
She opened the box with a click and paused.
She doesn't care about material things, but that doesn't mean she won't be attracted. The bracelet in front of her is so beautiful that it makes people unable to take their eyes off it.
In the past, she felt that she was not worthy of anything beautiful, but now someone said that this was picked especially for her.
Does it also mean that in the eyes of others, she deserves such a wonderful thing?
Jiang Suizhi never saw any reaction from her, so he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. After all, Jiang Yan would be happy if he gave her any Ultraman item.
"Don't like it?" he asked.
"No." Yue Qing closed the box and said sincerely, "I like it very much. Thank you."
After saying this, she turned her head and looked carefully at the "new friend" beside her.
Like Yu Shuqi, she didn't want to accept other people's gifts for nothing, not to mention that Jiang Suizhi had helped her today, so it was only right that she should return the gift to him.
There were a lot of people at the cocktail party, and it was the first time she saw Jiang Sui's true face since this morning. The difference was so great that she had never really looked at him carefully.
Only the back seat lights were on in the car, but they weren't very bright.
Unlike the strange down jacket he was wearing now, Jiang Sui's suit was ironed meticulously. His glasses reflected the light, and the shadow fell on his side face, making his profile look very superior.
Maybe it was because of his outfit and glasses that he gave people the illusion of being strict and abstinent, which was in stark contrast to the unruly man before.
In this case, what kind of gift should I give him?
She was still thinking when he suddenly turned his head, his eyebrows slightly raised: "What are you looking at?"
He couldn't pretend not to see it because it had been going on for too long.
"Nothing." Realizing his offense, Yue Qing quickly withdrew his gaze.
To be honest, she had never given anyone a gift, so she was quite nervous.
It was already late at night when they finished taking the statement at the police station. Gu Meng had already been charged with intentional injury and destruction of other people's property and could not escape, so she was temporarily detained. Yue Qing and Jiang then returned to their original hotel.
"Aren't you going straight home?" she asked.
Jiang Suishu paused as he got out of the car. When he turned around, he found that the man didn't look strange at all. It was obvious that he didn't know what he had just said.
But then again, we're half a family.
"I'm going to change my clothes," he said. "You go meet me at the place where I parked this morning."
Yueqing was confused, but still listened to him and got on the previous car.
A few minutes later, Jiang Sui, wearing the same clothes he had worn this morning, came over. Yue Qing then realized that he was going back to his old state.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Suizhi's life was indeed not easy.
He's already qualified as a father.
On the way back, Jiang Suili drove.
He didn't drink, but Yueqing had experienced a lot of ups and downs today, and his emotions were even more volatile than the day he first came through. Now he was suddenly trapped in a quiet space with only the two of them, and the alcohol started to creep up on him little by little.
She wasn't dizzy, but her mind and body were a little detached, and she didn't want to use her brain.
After being so tense for so many days, she now wants to give herself some time to breathe and stop thinking about it.
So she just stared blankly at the road ahead.
"Do you remember what I said this morning?" Jiang Suizhi suddenly asked, "about the death anniversary."
It took Yueqing a few seconds of slow thinking to remember that he wanted to take the child to see his eldest brother.
"I remember." She nodded.
"My family will be there that morning, so you won't be able to go all day." Jiang Sui had already arranged everything in the afternoon. "Do you think it's okay to go a day early?"
How could an outsider from Yueqing say anything? "It's up to you."
The car was silent for a few seconds, and then Jiang Suizhi suddenly asked, "Have you visited him in the past few years?"
According to Jiang Hechang, Yue Qing disappeared after taking the money and going abroad, and no one could find her. On the anniversary of her death, Jiang Yan's grave was strictly guarded, and not even a mosquito could fly over. No one had ever seen her.
So everyone naturally assumed that she had not been there.
But according to current investigations, she had returned to China three years ago and had been living quietly in this city. It was impossible for her to be unaware of such a big change in the Jiang family.
Yue Qing wanted to answer, but she didn't know whether the original owner had been there.
Besides, even if you want to watch, you should go to see Jiang Suizhi. Why not watch what his brother is doing?
So she shook her head: "No."
"Why?"
Yue Qing half closed her eyes and asked, "Do you want me to go see him?"
hope.
Everyone in the Jiang family hopes so.
Some people were eager for her to go so that they could catch her, but as for Jiang Suizhi, he just wanted Jiang Yan to take another look at the person he loved in the past.
But from what Yueqing said, she should know what would happen if she went, so she chose not to show up.
Yes, she is indeed very smart.
"I'll resolve it as soon as possible." He said in a deep voice.
"?"
What to solve?
Yue Qing opened her eyes, but closed them resignedly in less than three seconds. The pressure was too heavy. She didn't drink much, and the rare time she did drink, she got drunk.
I fumbled around to find the hangover medicine I had prepared and take a pill, but when I took it out, I found there was no water.
"What kind of medicine is this?"
"It's for hangover relief." Without any hesitation or pretense, he just stuffed the medicine into his mouth and swallowed it dry.
Noticing her action, Jiang Sui frowned, opened the central armrest with one hand, took out a bottle of unopened purified water and handed it to her.
She clearly always carried water cups with her when she was with the child, so why didn't she prepare these today when the child was not around, and didn't even ask?
"There's usually water in the car," he said. "Just let me know if you need it next time."
Yue Qing washed away the foreign body in his throat with water and smiled when he heard this: "I finally have a friend."
Her voice was so soft that Jiang Sui suspected he had misheard: "What?"
"Nothing." Yue Qing covered the water and leaned back in the chair. "This is already good enough."
Once people get something, they become more greedy.
But greed will lead to disappointment when you can’t get what you want. In order to avoid disappointment, she chooses to be content.
She is already very content to have friends and receive gifts from friends.
But some words were not clear the first time, but became very clear when recalling them again. Jiang then put her words together and got the answer.
She rarely makes friends, so she doesn't want to trouble others.
Is that why you care so much about the broken bracelet today?
He turned his head to look at the woman who was leaning against the wall with her head slightly tilted, and once again saw in her the helpless and lonely shadow he had in the bathroom.
"Friends can make requests," he said.
Yue Qing turned her head towards him and asked with a smile, "Who said that?"
"I said so."
Hearing this, Yue Qing's smile grew even wider: "You remind me of someone."
"who?"
That's what Brother Jiang said when he insisted she pick out clothes, but Yueqing didn't know his name.
What’s funny is that on the day she found out about Jiang Suizhi’s pseudonym, she even suspected whether Jiang Suizhi was actually Brother Jiang. But after seeing Brother Jiang’s profile picture and name, she felt that they didn’t look alike. Neither his temperament nor his behavior were similar.
She couldn't connect Jiang Suizhi with Jiang Ge, who posted about huge sales on his WeChat Moments, and their WeChat accounts were different, which dispelled her doubts.
Yue Qing said, "Also surnamed Jiang."
Jiang Sui lowered his eyes almost imperceptibly.
That’s Jiang Yan.
Some people actually say that they look like him.
He smiled, but after a few seconds he took off the glasses he had been wearing.
"I'll be careful next time." Jiang Sui said in a deep voice, "You can see me anytime you want."
After taking the medicine, he felt sleepy in waves. Le Qing asked in a daze, "Who?"
"My brother."
Yue Qing didn't understand why he was so insistent on asking her to go see his brother, but she was too sleepy and couldn't help but reply. She rubbed her eyes to wake herself up a little, and then she found some reason and replied, "Let's just go."
Jiang saw her movement out of the corner of his eye and looked over, just in time to see the twinkle at the corner of her eye.
He was stunned.
Crying?
Is it because you care too much that you dare not see him?
Mr. Jiang had some words stuck in his throat, but he didn't know how to say it, so he had no choice but not to mention Jiang Yan at this juncture.
But I also felt like an idiot. Why did I keep bringing up these things in front of her?
It made no one happy.
He fell silent, and Yueqing just needed such an environment, and he couldn't resist and fell asleep again.
After the car stopped, Jiang Suizhi discovered that the person next door had fallen asleep.
This person frowned when she slept, as if she was sleeping very uneasily. There was air conditioning in the car, but she still hugged her hands to her chest, in a completely defensive state.
Mr. Jiang, who suffers from mental illness, has still studied some related psychological problems.
It was already late. If he waited for her to sleep in the car for a while, he would be even later when he got home. Jiang Sui then called out, "Yueqing."
Maybe because of the medicine and alcohol, Yueqing slept very soundly.
Jiang Yan had no choice but to raise his voice and patted her arm gently: "Yueqing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party trembled suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, and his brows never relaxed from beginning to end.
The last time I saw her wake up was on the set. Her eyes were hazy and dazed, but this time there was more anxiety and fear in her eyes.
Jiang Suizhi said softly, "It's me."
At this time, Yue Qing had come back to her senses from the nightmare. After seeing the scene clearly, she pressed her head to wake herself up and remind herself that this was already a new world.
She picked up the water and took another sip: "Sorry, I fell asleep."
Jiang then hummed, "We're here."
The two walked towards the elevator one after the other, one was sleepy and the other was worried, and no one spoke.
It wasn't until she walked out of the elevator and saw her heading towards her home that Jiang Suiji suddenly said, "Sorry."
"What?"
Jiang Suizhi placed the suitcase she had forgotten to take next to her, raised his eyes and said, "I won't mention him anymore."
who?
His brother?
Yue Qing was still in a daze, so Jiang Suizhi raised his chin slightly and said, "Go to bed early."
Watching the person close the door in front of him, Yue Qing still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Did he misunderstand that I didn't want to listen?
After thinking about it, she took the initiative to send a message to the other party to explain after returning home: "That's not what I meant. You can bring it up if you want."
This is a serious sin. The gift should be more thoughtful.
But she has no idea about luxury goods.
Suddenly, Yueqing thought of a suitable candidate.
Sister Lvy and Chelsea said that Brother Jiang's clothes were all imitations of big brands. If that's the case, Brother Jiang must be very knowledgeable about brands, and the styles he imitated should be popular among the public.
She didn't plan to buy fake goods, but she planned to ask Brother Jiang for his opinion.
So she found Brother Jiang’s WeChat again and edited the message.
Jiang Sui, who was sitting on the sofa drinking water two doors away, saw the message from Yue Qing on his work account. Although he had no romantic experience, he understood that separation and death were probably the last things people wanted to face.
Jiang Sui moved his fingertips slightly, but didn't know how to respond.
Guilty and a little irritable.
Yueqing still loves Jiang Yan.
He thought.
The next second, his personal cell phone also lit up.
His heart skipped a beat, and he took half a minute to pick it up and open it.
Yueqing: "Brother Jiang, have you ever copied pictures of those brands of men's luxury accessories?"
Jiang Suizhi: "?"
He slowly closed his eyes and opened them again to make sure he was seeing correctly.
AAAAA Wholesale Jiang Ge: "Yes, what are you going to do?"
Yueqing: "I want to give a gift to a neighbor or friend and would like to see some pictures for reference."
AAAAA Wholesale Jiang Ge: "How old is your friend? I can provide you with one based on their age."
Yueqing: "Probably 25 or 26 years old."
Although he really didn't want to identify with this person, Jiang Suizhi couldn't find any other male "neighbor" friends aged 25 or 26 around him in Yueqing.
So, Yueqing planned to give him a gift, but ended up buying an imitation from "Brother Jiang".
Not even the original five-dollar plastic bracelet.
Some even jump off buildings in bulk.
He even sold it himself.
Mr. Jiang was so angry that he laughed at himself.
