Chapter 22: Chapter22

"How was Lu Xingxue's mood after returning last night? You didn't get angry?" Jiang Lin pressed Jiang Ci on the chair of the outdoor cafe, eagerly speaking.
It was the next afternoon, Jiang Lin said that she was in a hurry and cheated Jiang Ci who was working.
Jiang Ci was speechless, and shook his head for a long while, saying, "She is in a good mood, she is not angry."
This is not perfunctory, but such an answer obviously cannot convince Jiang Lin: "You walked in a hurry yesterday and did not have time to tell you that the ancestral hall of your hometown is completed, and the time for ancestor worship is fixed. I will give Lu Xingxue before going out. I went to the phone, first told her about it, and secondly wanted to see her attitude-she didn't give me a definite reply, only said that maybe the time can't be moved, and I will talk about it when the time comes. I, the more I think about it, the more things are wrong Er, Aci, Lu Xingxue has never refused my request, not to mention such an important matter of ancestor worship!... I wondered if she had any thoughts of us in her heart?"
Jiang Ci began to get tired of hearing it halfway through, and patiently listened to Jiang Lin's words, and sincerely offered suggestions: "Mom, Lu Xingxue is just a junior. You think about her over and over again, I don't think it is appropriate."
"Just a junior!? Your tone is bigger than your father! Who dares to treat her as a junior?" Jiang Lin said, pointing her finger at herself: "Am I? Is it possible that I can still be the elder in front of her? Spectrum? Do you think this is appropriate?"
………alright.
Jiang Ci gave in: "Lu Xingxue is open-minded, she will not take the matter of last night to heart. As for ancestor worship... I will communicate with her again, she is really busy, if the schedule is not scheduled, you Don't think too much."
"...Forget it, I won't mention it in advance." Jiang Lin waved her hand, leaning forward, her eyes piercing and said: "Lu Xingxue said that he was thinking about the child, how did you plan it? Why didn't you hear it before? ?"
It's okay if she doesn't remind, Jiang Ci is all awkward to say: "Did you take her to the Chinese medicine doctor yesterday? Have to go again in a few days?"
Jiang Lin: "What's your expression? The doctor I asked her is very authoritative, and I got the number ahead of time after trusting her relationship."
Jiang Ci: "Will you at least discuss it with me before you do this kind of thing in the future?"
Jiang Lin raised her eyebrows: "Why, it's annoying for me to take her to treat her body? It won't be you who will benefit when she takes care of her body? Don't let me know what is good or bad."
Jiang Ci surrendered. She recruited a waiter and settled the bill. She stood up and said to Jiang Lin, "I won't sit with you, I have a lot to do."
Jiang Lin calmed down and called her: "I'm here now, don't worry about this moment or three, accompany me to finish the coffee."
Jiang Ci had to sit down again, and Jiang Lin also found out that Lu Xingxue was a communication barrier between herself and her daughter, so she turned around and talked about Tong Zhenni: "She found a boyfriend who specializes in fishing sidelines in the bar. , Your dad found out secretly, and talked to her once and asked her to draw a clear line between her and the other party. But Tong Zhenni was obsessed with the ghost and didn't listen. Your dad set up a bureau and let her catch her in bed. So last night That's why it's so fierce."
Jiang Ci drank a big sip of coffee and remembered the person who picked up her when Tong Zhenni was drunk more than two months ago....what's her name? Romeo?
Jiang Lin: "But for this matter, your dad didn't tell me a word in advance. In these years, I haven't treated Tong Zhenni wrongly, right? She burying me countless times in secret, and I don't care about her. Your dad did this, yes. Are you afraid that I will laugh at his baby girl, or are you afraid that I will ruin his plan?"
Jiang Lin said calmly. Jiang Ci moved the handle of the coffee cup, and the response was particularly calm: "Your position is embarrassing if you know it or not. If Dad doesn't say it, maybe I want you to relax."
Jiang Lin was noncommittal. The mother and daughter were drinking coffee in silence. They suddenly heard a surprise: "Aci! Hey, I'll say it's you! It looks like you from a distance, but I haven't seen it for a while!"
Jiang Ci was familiar with the voice and couldn't help but follow his reputation.
City G said it was big but not too small. Jiang Ci didn't expect to meet Ms. Wang here.
Ms. Wang was unkind to her the last time I met, so she took the initiative to come up this time, not knowing what else to make.
Jiang Ci was prepared, and stood up to welcome her: "Auntie."
Ms. Wang: "Oh, sit, let's sit and talk."
Without waiting for the invitation, Ms. Wang opened the stool and sat down at their table. At the same time, she introduced the young girl who was traveling with Jiang Ci: "Aci, this is Yuanyuan, the daughter of my aunt's eldest brother. "
"I'm Wang Yuanyuan, just call me Yuanyuan." Wang Yuanyuan stretched out her hand generously. She was wearing an ultra-season spring dress with long black hair, bright eyes and white teeth, and she smiled with a deep dimple on her cheek.
Sweet and pleasing look.
"You and Xiaobai have been married for these years. Yuanyuan has both studied abroad and came back after getting an offer from the company. So you two have never had a chance to meet before.... She, and Xiaobai have been playing since childhood. Feelings are good." Ms. Wang said to Jiang Ci with a smile.
"Hello." Jiang Ci raised his hand, touched Wang Yuanyuan lightly, and then introduced them to Jiang Lin: "This is my mother."
Wang Yuanyuan responded quickly, and shouted "Hello, Auntie" following Jiang Ci's words.
Jiang Lin smiled and gestured.
"Ah, I don't know what the demon is in the weather these days, it's always cold and hot." Ms. Wang unwrapped the silk scarf around her neck, then turned to Jiang Lin: "In-law, I often wonder what kind of mother can cultivate Aci like this. Good boy, it's a coincidence, I finally saw your deity today!"
"We met on the day of Xiaobai and Aci's wedding. Maybe you are busy with things and forgot." Jiang Lin said with a smile.
Ms. Wang paused, and smiled again: "I just have a bad look in my eyes and a bad memory, so my mother in law laughed."
Jiang Lin gave Jiang Ci a meaningful look, and the mother and daughter tacitly picked up the coffee cups at the same time and sipped them.
The waiter came over to order, and Ms. Wang gave the menu to Wang Yuanyuan, and talked with Jiang Lin with great interest: "Mother-in-law, don't be too verbose. I have to say one more thing. You are really good at teaching. So good, otherwise even if we have a marriage contract, we Xiaobai would not get married blindly."
Jiang Lin echoed: "Who said no? But I didn't teach it well. Maybe we, Aci, happened to cast Xiaobai's eye. What kind of person Xiaobai has never seen before? We, Azi, have nothing else, just kind of heart."
"..." Ms. Wang twitched her mouth, and quickly raised her neck again: "By the way, I heard from Aji that she is working as a lawyer? When I know a little bit about this business, it is tired and boring. I told you last time. She's joking, why didn't she go to work in her own company? When her elders are getting older, she has to train successors. Aji is the eldest daughter and should share the burden. In-laws, are you right?"
Displeased flashed across Jiang Lin's face, she lowered her head and looked up, and resumed as usual: "It's just a small company, and it's not a succession. Since the elders have created decent living conditions for the children, it's better to let the children not be interested It’s better to let her be free and live out her own value and joy in life. My aunt doesn’t understand. Dad Aci and I have always respected the children’s own wishes.-Besides, Aci is really talented, she is this It’s hard to say internationally for the age to be the chief tuning officer. Anyway, there is no second one in China."
Watching them talk and talk, Jiang Ci was funny and sad. If it weren't for winning this battle without gunpowder, Jiang Lin would never recognize her.
After this battle, Ms. Wang looked stiff. Wang Yuanyuan also noticed the embarrassment of the atmosphere, pulled her at her, pointed to the menu and asked: "Aunt, what do you drink?"
Jiang Lin took another sip of coffee, put down the cup, looked at the watch, and slowly got up and said: "The two are sitting slowly. Today is not a coincidence. I have an appointment with a friend. Aci also has a job. We will be separated first."
Wang Yuanyuan followed and got up and gave them a few steps: "Goodbye, Auntie. Sister Aci, when there is a chance in the future, we will get together."
Jiang Ci didn't take it to heart, and said casually: "There will be a chance."
Leaving the cafe, Jiang Lin sneered: "What kind of mother-in-law, who is her mother-in-law, really takes herself seriously. She looks like a human, but she doesn't say a word, what is it!?"
Jiang Lin became more and more angry: "Has she been so sarcasm about you before? Listen to me, there is no shortage of such a deliberately sultry role in society. If you don't have a good time, she will succeed! You will take it. It's a mad dog barking, don't pay attention to her!"
The mother and daughter got into the car parked on the street, and Jiang Lin sent Jiang Ci to work.
Until the rear of their car disappeared from the field of vision, Ms. Wang was still resentful: "It's worthy of being a third-born, brazen, sharp-pointed mouth, don't you know that she and her daughter are a joke?"
Wang Yuanyuan stroked her back: "Aunt, blame me, you said this is Jiang Ci, I want to come and see it, who knows it made you angry. Um... Don't be angry, I invite you to have coffee..."
Jiang Ci was also tuning the piano for a professor today, but Jiang Lin was delayed. When the correction was over, the professor's granddaughter returned from kindergarten.
Seeing Jiang Ci head-on, she plunged into her mother's arms. Her mother laughed and said: "I told you before that a beautiful sister came to see a doctor at grandma's piano, and you said you want to give someone a gift. Why are you shy now? ?"
The little girl is chubby and cute enough to make people want to pinch. Jiang Ci teased her deliberately: "So there are any gifts? I'm looking forward to it. What will it be?"
The little girl blushed, took out a stack of three-dimensional bubble stickers from her little backpack, and whispered: "Sister, pick it."
There are about ten bubble stickers of various shapes at a glance.
In the expectant look of the little girl, Jiang Ci thanked him and picked a cat.
Leaving the professor's house, Jiang Ci followed the gentle ramp to the subway station. A black car was driving beside her at turtle speed. Jiang Ci noticed the strangeness as she walked and couldn't help but look sideways.
The window was open, and Lu Xingxue in the driver's seat was waving at her.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Ci opened the passenger door and got in the car with a look of surprise.
"Pick you off from get off work." Lu Xingxue reminded her: "Seat belt."
"Oh." Jiang Ci fastened his seat belt: "I mean, how would you know I am here?"
After she asked, she remembered Jiang Lin, and as expected, she said, "Mom called me."
Jiang Ci: "... She told you about Auntie? Or..."
Lu Xingxue: "By the way, Auntie...I'm really sorry."
Ms. Wang repeated those words. Jiang Ci had experienced it and was already immune, not to mention Lu Xingxue's heart-warming remarks. If you entangle again, first of all I'm sorry Lu Xingxue is sincere.
Jiang Ci: "No need to apologize, I didn't take it to heart. She is her, you are you. She is not important."
Lu Xingxue looked at her deeply, smiling.
At sunset in the west, Lu Xingxue's clear eyes are jumping with the light of the setting sun, and a shallow bend is a gentle beauty that is hard to see in the world.
Jiang Ci didn't think there was anything when he said it. After speaking, he faced such Lu Xingxue, but his face was inexplicably hot. She staggered her eyes and played with the bubble stickers that the little girl gave. The cats on them were naive, standing or lying down, which was quite interesting.
She found something to do for herself, carefully tore one off, and glued it to the tuning toolbox.
Lu Xingxue asked her as she drove, "It's still early, is there any place you want to go?"
"No." Jiang Ci finished sticking one, and then tore the second one.
Lu Xingxue: "Then go home?"
Jiang Ci buried his head: "Okay."
Lu Xingxue: "Well... by the way, there is also the ancestor worship. On the day of the ancestor worship, I had a buyout meeting in City B. I will try my best to get there."
Jiang Ci paused in his hand: "There is no airplane in my hometown. It will take a lot of twists and turns to travel from City B. If you don't have time to go, it's okay if you don't go to the ancestors."
Lu Xingxue lightly tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips, squinted at Jiang Ci, with a smile, "Are you sympathetic to my hard work, or don't you want me to go?"
"?" Jiang Ci looked sideways: "Is my tone very weird? Make you this kind of doubt?"
"Ah~" Lu Xingxue nodded: "It turns out to be considerate of me."
Jiang Ci: "..."
Maybe I don’t want you to go, Jiang Ci spit.
Lu Xingxue didn't know the twists in her heart, and asked her enthusiastically, "What are you playing with? Stickers?"
Jiang Ci: "Yeah."
Lu Xingxue: "I saw this kind of sticker for the first time."
Jiang Ci gestured the bubble sticker to Lu Xingxue's eyes so that she could see clearly. Lu Xingxue said, "I want one."
Jiang Ci: "Which one do you want?"
Lu Xingxue: "Either way, you can choose."
Jiang Ci hesitated at the cat full of stickers, then tore off a cat with fierce eyes, stuck it to his fingertips and asked Lu Xingxue: "Where to paste?"
In front of the red light, Lu Xingxue stepped on the brakes and stepped aside to signal Jiang Ci to paste on the steering wheel's car label: "Here."
Jiang Ci put it on her, Lu Xingxue lowered his eyes and started to laugh at just one glance.
Jiang Ci: "What are you laughing at?"
Lu Xingxue: "This looks like you. I will think of you when I see you in the future."
Jiang Ci: "..."
Jiang Ci: "I'm fierce... Am I fierce to you?... It's better to give it back to me."
She said that she was about to expose the newly glued cat. Lu Xingxue immediately covered the car logo. The moment the touched, Jiang Ci flashed that afternoon in her mind. In order to compete for potato chips, she was caught by Lu Xing. Snow entangled and pressed on the sofa.
"..." Jiang Ci retracted into the seat and stopped making noise.
