After a long time, Nanqiao knew that Lingling had a good alcohol tolerance and was very comfortable in such occasions, so she felt relieved. However, there were always people protecting her, so even if Lingling drank too much, she would be safe when she returned home. She used this as an excuse to keep her, and she wanted to ask her what was going on between her and Dongzi.
"Well, Second Master, Sister-in-law, we'll go back first," Mingliang said, and he didn't forget to pull Dongzi who was thinking about something. Even a blind person could tell something was wrong with Dongzi's condition. Ever since Lingdang came in, Dongge, who was teasing Xiaoran and Xiaoche and teasing Second Master and Sister-in-law, suddenly became like a saw-mouthed gourd, not saying a word. From time to time, he would glance at Lingdang, but Lingdang seemed not to see it. After she said thank you when pouring the wine, she didn't even look at him again.
"Why are you in such a hurry to reply? Go out and sit for a while. I'll make some hangover soup later. Let's drink a bowl together before you come back."
"Okay." Dongzi and the others looked at each other and nodded.
"Lingdang, go to the living room with your sister Qiao to rest for a while. I'll go out with them to smoke a cigarette." Sheng Yanchuan winked at Nanqiao and walked to the yard with a few people. Sheng Yanchuan had quit acting long ago because Nanqiao didn't like it, but these people were heavy smokers and drinkers. They had been holding back from smoking in the house because of Nanqiao and the children. Now that they came out, they were like being let go. While closing the glass door, they took out their glasses and lighters at the same time.
"Okay, Master, you're busy, Sister Qiao is here." Lingdang stood up and shook her head, steadying herself and trying to help Nanqiao.
"Okay, okay, I can walk by myself. Why are you still supporting me like this?" Nanqiao smiled and patted the hand that Lingling stretched out to him unhappily.
"Hehe, that's right, Sister Qiao, please slow down." Lingling was not annoyed when being photographed. It was hard for her to walk in a straight line. She was indeed not suitable for Funan Bridge.
"Xiao Ran, Xiao Che, you two go back to your rooms and do your homework first. Mom will talk to Aunt Lingdang and check your homework later."
"Okay." The two kids looked at the bell and then at their mother, and finally went back to do their homework. Although they really wanted to be here with their mother, it seemed that they had something important to discuss, so they should go back to their room first.
"Then I'll go up with them," Aunt Zhou said, and followed the child upstairs
Only Nanqiao and Lingling were left in the living room.
"Tell me, what's wrong?" Nanqiao pulled Lingling to sit next to her, took her hand and patted it gently. The little girl who had followed her all those years had grown up and was now independent, but she seemed to have a lot of worries.
"Nothing... nothing." Lingling's eyes were a little evasive. She didn't want to come when Sister Qiao called her today, but she still wanted to see him. She hesitated for a long time and came late. It wasn't really business.
"Lingdang, you can tell me anything. I'm not just your best friend, I'm also your sister Qiao. No matter what happens, I'll always be your support."
"Sister Qiao" After listening to Nanqiao's gentle words, Lingdang still couldn't help herself. She leaned gently in Nanqiao's arms, avoiding her stomach, sobbing. She felt aggrieved. The situation that things went against her wishes and she didn't know where to start made her feel helpless. She used to be vigorous and decisive in the workplace, but at this time she was really helpless.
"Sister Qiao, I like Brother Dong." Lingdang gently held Nanqiao's hand. The white, delicate and boneless hand seemed to give her endless courage. With Nanqiao's comfort, she told her what had happened during this period.
Lingdang likes Dongzi. She doesn't know when it started. Maybe it was Dongzi's comfort to her when she first entered the floating life, or Dongzi's strong protection when she was forced to drink for the first time, or Dongzi's company when she was sick...
Anyway, by the time she found out, Dongzi had already firmly taken root in her heart. She thought he also had feelings for her, so he took care of her in every detail. But when she confessed her feelings, Dongzi said that he only treated her as a sister.
But if he was her younger sister, why would he chat with her for so long late at night, why would he look at her with such eyes? He had feelings for her, she was sure of that, but she didn't understand why he just refused to accept her, and even from that day on, he began to avoid her.
Lingling racked her brains but failed to change his mind, until the chance meeting at the beginning of the year. At that time, she was entertaining some business clients. The man also knew Dong Ge, so she had no choice but to greet him. But at that glance, Lingling saw impatience in Dongzi's eyes, such glaring impatience and disgust.
Since then, she never took the initiative to appear in front of him again. She was still as cheerful and cheerful as before in the business world, and she was able to deal with all kinds of people with ease. But people who knew her knew that she smiled brightly, but that smile did not reach her eyes. She was cold-hearted and it seemed that nothing could shake her heart.
"Do you still like him?" After listening to Lingdang's story, Nanqiao felt sad. She had experienced this feeling of being loved but not being loved from the original owner. At the same time, she also felt that she cared too little for her sister Lingdang. She hadn't noticed for so long.
"I like him, but I'm unwilling to give up. He won't even tell me why." Lingling's eyes were red, and she felt very wronged when she said it. But she felt relieved to be able to talk about this with others.
"I don't think Dongzi is the kind of person who would do things so inappropriately. I'll let Yanchuan sound out the situation some other day and then tell you, okay?" Nanqiao comforted Lingling. After spending so many years with them, there was no doubt that Dongzi was a good man. She didn't think he was such an irresponsible person who would just flirt and leave. She was just afraid that he had some concerns.
"Okay," Lingling nodded. At first, she didn't want Nanqiao to worry about her, but she had thought of everything. Now she didn't even want to be with Dong Ge. Even if she knew the reason, it would be good for her to give up. After all, they had to deal with each other in Chaoyang and Fusheng.
"Go to the guest room upstairs to wash up and rest." Nanqiao saw that she kept looking at the door leading to the garden with evasive eyes, as if she didn't want to see Dongzi again like this, so he let her go upstairs.
"Okay," Lingling nodded in response, and before leaving, she did not forget to call her brother's servant to come and accompany Nanqiao.
While Nanqiao and Lingdang were talking about this, Sheng Yanchuan was also looking at Dongzi on the rattan chair in the yard.
Coming to the garden from the restaurant, Sheng Yanchuan took the lead and sat down on a rattan chair on the side. "What's wrong with you?"
When Sheng Yanchuan said this, Hu Zi and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They were usually busy with work, but they were not blind. After so many years of being brothers, what could they not understand? They were about to sit down when their movements froze, and the next moment they stood up again.
"Second Master, Brother Dong, you guys chat, let's go sit over there, it's cooler." Hu Zi pointed to the lake not far away and made up an excuse.
"Yeah," Sheng Yanchuan nodded, and when he saw the man walking away, he looked back at Dongzi.
"Hey, the little girl is naive, don't worry about it, Second Master." Dongzi lowered his head and forced a smile. Anyone could see that he was not in a good mood.
"Lingdang has been with Qiaoqiao for so many years, and I've seen how steady she is. Don't try to fool me with these words." The conversation between the men was much more direct. Sheng Yanchuan also asked directly. The people here are all the leaders of the company. If there is any conflict, it will not be a good thing.
