Chapter 2: Chapter02

Jiang Ci was rarely drunk and only woke up in the afternoon. Sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, the memory of last night slowly returned.
Huo Zhenzhen is broken in love, Wen Nian is pregnant, and Lu Xingxue takes her home.
Jiang Ci lowered his head, his body was still the clothes of yesterday, and he was already wrinkled asleep. Wanting to come to Lu Xingxue to take her home, she has done her best, after all, she has no obligation to take care of drunks.
The head is still dizzy and the stomach feels uncomfortable. Jiang Ci went to take a shower first. When the water poured on her face with her eyes closed, some very strange images suddenly flashed in her mind.
... She saw herself squatting on the ground with her knees, fingers scratching the carpet, Lu Xingxue asked her, "What are you doing?"
She raised her face and replied: "I am a cat."
Lu Xingxue: Wrong. jpg
Jiang Ci held his chin: "Meow~"
? ? ?
……………………………………
Jiang Ci said to himself that it was a dream, it must be a dream.
Ok.
After the shower, Jiang Ci put on clothes and went out of the room. I wasn't feeling well, and I was wondering whether to make some porridge, but as soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Aunt Zhuang busy.
Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue don't often eat at home, they only contact Aunt Zhuang to cook when they need it, so today is Lu Xingxue let Aunt Zhuang come?
"Miss Jiang, are you up?" Aunt Zhuang greeted her with a smile.
"Lu Xingxue is at home?" When asked this, Jiang Ci inadvertently looked towards the living room.
Aunt Zhuang nodded, confirming Jiang Ci's guess: "Yes."
Aunt Zhuang said: "It will be ready for dinner soon, Miss Jiang, you can go see Miss Lu."
Jiang Ci stood silent for a moment, then turned to the living room. Lu Xingxue was not there, Jiang Ci found the second floor all the way, and finally saw Lu Xingxue playing Rubik's Cube in the tea room.
Lu Xingxue sat cross-legged on the futon under the French windows. She was wearing white home clothes with very soft material, sticking to her body, making her figure rugged but hazy, showing a delicate and gentle mood.
The sun was blazing outside the window. Looking in from the door, Lu Xingxue's face could not be seen, only a quiet figure.
Jiang Ci did not interrupt her, but lowered his head to pay attention to the dial scale. Five minutes later, when the Rubik's Cube was completed, Jiang Ci knocked on the door.
Lu Xingxue's eyes moved from the Rubik's Cube to the person at the door.
Jiang Ci spoke first, with a husky voice with a hangover: "Did you go to the company today?"
Lu Xingxue: "I'm going on a business trip in the afternoon, and I pack things at home."
Jiang Ci: "My mother asked me to take you back for dinner. Since you are going on a business trip, I will just reject her later?"
Lu Xingxue: "Yeah."
The room was quiet again, Jiang Ci: "...Aunt Zhuang has made a meal, let's go down to eat."
Lu Xingxue put down the Rubik's Cube: "Okay."
The two went downstairs together. Regarding the drunkenness, Jiang Ci finally came up with a not too embarrassing opening remark: "I troubled you last night, so coincidental, would you go there too?"
Lu Xingxue walked in front of Jiang Ci and turned away. Although she is a few centimeters taller than Jiang Ci, because of the stair drop, only the corners of Jiang Ci's lips are now. When Jiang Ci's gaze dropped slightly, he could clearly see Lu Xingxue's long eyelashes and the raised eyes.
Lu Xingxue is very white, his eyes are dark, and his three-dimensional features have a subtle sense of mixed blood. Jiang Ci has a very good appearance, but I have to admit that Lu Xingxue has an unforgettable good skin.
"Your mother asked me to pick you up." Lu Xingxue answered her with a light smile.
Jiang Ci nodded subconsciously, and then: "???"
… I think of Jiang Lin calling Huo Zhenzhen’s phone call to Chagang, Jiang Ci never expected Jiang Lin’s post-action would be to make such a request to Lu Xingxue: "Excuse me, I don’t know my mother and her meeting--"
Lu Xingxue: "It doesn't matter, I have a dinner, and I will pass by when I get home."
How close will it take to meet her? Jiang Ci really didn't have the courage to ask Lu Xingxue how long he had been waiting in the car.
This is not Lu Xingxue’s business. Good upbringing did not show her any reluctance, but Jiang Ci was still embarrassed. This level of embarrassment almost made her forget, "I might learn cats from Lu Xingxue." Called "this thing."
But Lu Xingxue said it was okay, and Jiang Ci had to pretend not to care.
In the restaurant, Aunt Zhuang has already put all the dishes on the table, and in the place where Jiang Ci usually sits, there is an extra bowl of warm white porridge.
Lu Xingxue picked up the chopsticks: "I'm afraid you have no appetite, please Aunt Zhuang make it."
Jiang Ci: "...Thank you."
Lu Xingxue raised her lips slightly and said nothing.
Soon after lunch, Lu Xingxue was picked up by his assistant. Since she didn't go to Tong's house, Jiang Ci sent a message to Jiang Lin, fearing that Jiang Lin would call and nag, she simply mute the phone.
Walking down Lu Xingxue's Rubik's Cube from the tea room, Jiang Ci sat on the rocking chair on the outdoor balcony and fiddled with it until the sky was completely dark before returning to the house.
She took a few days off. At this time, she took out her mobile phone to check work emails. There was no Jiang Lin's caller ID on the screen. Instead, Wen Nian sent her a few messages.
[Wen Nian: I have your favorite veal steak and mushroom soup tonight. 】
[Wen Nian: [Picture]]
[Wen Nian: The little clothes you gave your baby are very cute. 】
[Wen Nian: Aci, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's meet after we finish this time. 】
Wen Nian went to Tong's house?
From the information, Jiang Lin not only arranged for her to be picked up by Lu Xingxue, but also arranged for her baby clothes for Wen Nian.
Since childhood, Jiang Lin has become accustomed to making decisions for her, whether or not the decision is what she wants.
Pour himself a glass of water and drank it slowly, Jiang Ci reopened the dialog with Wen Nian. She did not respond positively to the proposal of meeting, but said: "Don't work hard, pay attention to your body."
She knew that Wen Nian was not easy. After marrying Lin Xiao, Wen Nian squeezed into Wen's management because of the cooperation project between Wen and Lin. Even so, she was still crushed by Mrs. Wen's family.
Invited by G University, Jiang Ci will go to school next week to attend a training lecture on tuning. While preparing the manuscript for the computer, I received a call from Huo Zhenzhen from the concert.
Huo Zhenzhen expressed his love for Jiang Ci hoarsely.
Jiang Ci was infected by her excitement, smiled and hung up the phone. Before long, the screen of the mobile phone was bright again, and Jiang Ci glanced at it wrongly. He was the pianist of the orchestra on the previous global tour.
Jiang Ci connected: "Teacher Ye, good evening."
Ye Wentao is in his early forties and is personable. Unlike some pianists, he has many strict and paranoid requirements on the timbre of the piano. He is very easy to communicate and is willing to trust Jiang Ci's professionalism, so the whole cooperation process is very harmonious.
After the two greeted each other, Ye Wentao went straight to the point: "Miss Jiang, I really admire you. I will go to City G tomorrow. I wonder if we can meet?"
Jiang Ci: "At that time, I will be the host. Please Mr. Ye to taste the specialties of City G."
"Eating together is just what I want, but I agreed in advance. You decide the location, but I must pay the bill." Ye Wentao's laughter was quite magnetic, and he paused for a few seconds after laughing: "Next, I have a two-day and one-night trip to sea. Itinerary, I want to invite you to go together."
Jiang Ci heard inexplicably: "Going to sea?"
"It's like this...Ms. Jiang, now I am not a pianist, and you are not a tuning lawyer. We are talking as a man and a woman. As I said, I admire you very much, but I can also see that you are right I respect it, but I don’t have much interest.... I am very unwilling to use money to measure your value, but with my dullness and shallowness, I really can’t think of other methods... Let’s be straightforward. If I understand something, I am willing to give you 800,000 yuan. I wonder if you will accompany me on this trip?"
Jiang Ci froze for a while before digesting the meaning of his words.
At the same time, he felt ridiculous. Two days and one night, 800,000 yuan. If calculated by the hour, he was very generous and doubled.
"Teacher Ye, I think you may have some misunderstandings, I'm already married." Jiang Ci stayed a bit to speak without embarrassing him.
"Oh? Are you married?" Ye Wentao was surprised: "I really didn't think about this, but Miss Jiang, this doesn't affect it. I don't care about it."
He didn't want to pursue her, he just wanted to make an appointment.
Jiang Ci was really angry this time.
Ye Wentao: "Ms. Jiang, I took the liberty. You can think about it all night. We will see you tomorrow. It will not be too late to give me an answer."
Hanging up the phone, Jiang Ci pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Huo Zhenzhen: "Do I look poor?"
Huo Zhenzhen was very noisy there, afraid that Jiang Ci would not be able to hear her. She yelled: "The round-trip tickets you booked for me are all first class. I stayed in a hotel for more than 7,000 a night. To be honest, I want to have it too. You are so poor and effortless to spend money!"
Jiang Ci reflected on himself. Originating from the childhood shadow of being knocked on the door, the inferiority complex of an illegitimate girl has long gone deep into her bones, so she can try not to spend the money of the Tong family. After earning money, I don’t pursue high luxury. I go out mainly on public transportation, and I hardly wear jewelry for work. In many cases, a simple cloth bag will go out.
It is for this reason that Ye Wentao is classified as a woman who is motivated by money and can sell herself for money?
Jiang Ci threw away the computer and opened his jewelry box. Among all the jewelry, the most valuable was the wedding ring that Lu Xingxue gave her.
It can be seen that Lu Xingxue is very casual when choosing the ring. The market value of the ring is a more important selection criterion than the meaning of the ring. The porcelain is worn on the finger, the drill is exaggerated, and the effect is amazing.
Is this too deliberate...
Jiang Ci was stunned at the black sky outside the window, and then she hesitated to send a message to Lu Xingxue: "Is it convenient to borrow a watch from you?"
Despite the jet lag, Lu Xingxue's reply came quickly.
"it is good."
The Lu family started from jewelry, and in Lu Xingxue's hands, it has formed a very large luxury group: Forest. Lu Xingxue has always had the habit of collecting, and his collection is very rich. Jiang Ci stopped in the watch area, and at the same time, the phone dinged.
[Ye Wentao: "One million."]
In a short period of time, the price increased by 200,000 yuan, as if fighting a psychological war with her.
"Heh", Jiang Ci snorted lightly and took out a watch from the cabinet.
The next day, before going out, Jiang Ci stood in front of the full-length mirror and took a picture. In order to highlight the wrist watch, she specially made it appear in the C position of the screen.
Send the photo to Huo Zhenzhen. After reading it, Huo Zhenzhen responded very straightforwardly: "How many zeros?"
[Ginger porcelain: "Guess."]
[Huo Zhenzhen: "[Farewell]"]
Jiang Ci pushed out the door. One of Lu Xingxue's bodyguards, Wei Ning, was already standing outside the courtyard: "Miss Jiang, Mr. Lu asked me to see you off."
Jiang Ci sent a question mark to Lu Xingxue.
It was almost at the destination, and Lu Xingxue's reply was long overdue: "It's rare for you to speak to me, I think you might need it."
