Although the Zhou family can't be compared with the current Lou family, but they can be counted in Hong Kong City, otherwise Zhou Qiaoqiao would not be able to marry Lou Minglang.
Her biological mother died early, and her relationship with her stepmother is not so close. She moved out of the house when she was an adult and lives in an apartment outside. She does not need to go to work. The income from a few funds under her name can provide her with a rich life. Her father also puts pocket money into her account every month. What she does most on weekdays is to fly abroad with a few friends for a shopping holiday.
A friend told her that Lou Minglang and the intern of the company were close to her. She immediately went to confront Lou Minglang. She was able to reconsider.
Zhou Qiaoqiao couldn't even speak. The two of them have known each other for nearly 20 years now. They were adults when they got engaged. Is this what he calls young? Is this what he calls being sloppy
She has been looking forward to being his bride since she was eighteen years old. After so many years, what she waited for was the result of his empathy.
Her pride does not allow humble begging for redemption, but the resulting unwillingness and hatred outweigh the sadness and despair, so when Jiang Rui found her, she could almost say her request calmly.
The apartment is located in the city center, where an inch of land is expensive, and Zhou Qiaoqiao will enjoy the next 50-square-meter house by himself.
When Jiang Rui entered the door, it was already dark.
The room was dark, and the lights were bright outside the window.
She stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time.
The first two missions were completed smoothly, and the two soul pieces she brought back had also been fused, which showed that her method was correct, and she was one step closer to the complete end of the mission.
The phone rang suddenly. She hung up after saying a few words.
It was Zhou Qiaoqiao's friend who was playing with her and asked her to go to Paris to watch a fashion show in two days, but Jiang Rui declined.
Speaking of which, although Zhou Qiaoqiao has many friends, there is no one who can really be called a friend. Otherwise, when she borrowed alcohol to drown her sorrows that day, she would not have been found after alcohol poisoning.
Jiang Rui took a deep breath, threw the phone aside, and went into the kitchen to make something to eat.
The next day, she lay on the sofa and watched movies for most of the day, and left for Lou's house at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
The servant was a little surprised when she saw her coming again, but no one asked, and Sister Li served her tea as usual.
When Lou Wenyuan came back and saw her, there was nothing strange on her face, it seemed that what she said yesterday, in his eyes, was the angry words of a child, he forgot after hearing it, and greeted her as usual: "Jojo is here. "
Jiang Rui pursed her lips and asked him, "I'll wait for the answer, do you agree?"
Lou Wenyuan didn't even change the arc of the smile on his lips, like a tolerant elder facing a willful junior, "Don't be silly, I left in such a hurry yesterday that I didn't even drink tea, let's stay and have dinner together today. ."
After a night of precipitation, her mood seemed much more stable, and she seemed to have made up her mind to have a long-term tug-of-war with him. She wasn't as excited as yesterday when she heard such obvious prevarication.
She was still afraid of him, and didn't want to sit and eat with him, but she didn't want to miss this opportunity that might make him back down. Struggles and contradictions are all displayed on his face, like a kitten, eager for sweet milk, but afraid of burning his tongue.
In the end, they still sat at the table together.
Dinner is Western style, the knife and fork touch the dishes, but it is silent.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's table manners have been strictly trained and are very standardized, but compared with Lou Wen, there is less casual elegance and calmness.
After dinner, Jiang Rui got up to leave and said to Lou Wenyuan before leaving, "I will come again tomorrow."
Lou Wenyuan looked mild: "Tell the kitchen what you want to eat tomorrow night and let them prepare in advance."
Seeing that he didn't care about it, Jiang Rui finally summoned up the courage to snort at him, and walked away deliberately in anger.
Every day after that, she really came to Lou's house to report, and when she saw Lou Wenyuan's first sentence, she must have asked him if he agreed, and then the two of them had dinner together, and she left in a huff.
Even Mrs. Li and others are used to such a regular itinerary. Every day, she prepares her favorite drinks. When she arrives, they serve it. The temperature is just right. The kitchen will also purchase her favorite ingredients, and make two dinners every day people.
For more than ten days in a row, Jiang Rui refused her friends' invitation to go out to play. At first, those people were puzzled. When she accidentally leaked something and mentioned that the relationship between herself and Lou Minglang had changed, the people who came to her gradually began to look for her. not enough.
Besides them, Lou Minglang also sent several messages, but she ignored them.
Today, he called directly.
At that time, Jiang Rui was about to go out, and she planned to ignore it, but then she changed her mind and picked it up again.
"Jojo?"
"Is something wrong?"
She probably had never heard such a cold tone from her, so she paused for a while before continuing, "I haven't responded to the messages I sent you these past few days, what are you doing?"
Before, Zhou Qiaoqiao had to contact Lou Minglang several times a day, and sometimes he was too troublesome and would pretend to miss her call. This time, there was no news for more than ten days, and he sent two or three messages without getting a reply.
"Didn't you ask me to consider the relationship between the two of us? I have considered it. You are right. It was really too hasty at the beginning. Let's cancel the engagement."
"Qiao Qiao, don't be angry." Lou Minglang said almost immediately, "I want to let the two calm down for a while, and I don't mean to cancel the engagement immediately. Besides, even if we can't become a husband and wife in the end, I still want to be your brother. , don't break our friendship for many years just because of your temper."
Jiang Rui said lightly: "It's over? What do you think is your business, anyway, I have decided to break off the marriage. As for the brothers and sisters, you can find someone else to play with, I don't play such boring tricks."
"Jojo—" Lou Minglang was hung up before he finished speaking.
He stared at the phone, feeling a little surprised, but not too anxious. Given Zhou Qiaoqiao's feelings for him, how could he break off the engagement so neatly? He's probably in a fit of rage, and he'll be fine in a few days.
It was a risky move, but he had to. Over the years, Zhou Jiaming has been on his side on the surface, but he still has business dealings with Lou Wenyuan's company, just like the grass on the wall. Wherever there are benefits, he can only create some crisis for Zhou Qiaoqiao, let She forced her dad to add chips to him.
Compared with that man, the power in his hands is too small after all. The Lou family should have belonged to him, and sooner or later he will take it back.
In the courtyard in the middle of the mountain, Lou Wenyuan got out of the car.
The housekeeper reported today's affairs to him, and finally said, "Miss Zhou didn't come today."
"I see." Lou Wenyuan looked as usual.
During the meal, Mrs. Li also said, "It's a pity that Miss Zhou didn't come. I don't know if she was stuck by something. The kitchen even prepared lamb chops for her to eat."
Lou Wenyuan didn't answer. After a while, he suddenly said something irrelevant, "Cats are unfamiliar."
