Days passed by, and it was New Year's Day in the blink of an eye.
After all, it was a rare holiday, and the festive atmosphere on the street was quite strong. Ruan Zhiyin asked Qin Xiang and Ye Yanchu to go shopping together, but Gu Linlang didn't come because of something.
After shopping for an afternoon, the three found a dessert shop in a shopping mall to rest.
After the dessert came, Qin Xiang dug out the ice cream in the ice bowl and told the two about the last banquet.
"The gossip of the guests can't be controlled. Although Lin Jingfei is not with Jiang Anzheng, grandpa has already let go. The marriage should be over."
What happened at the Qin family's birthday banquet is no longer a secret in the wealthy circle.
Qin Xiang knew Lin Jingfei, and of course he would not foolishly think that Lin Jingfei really had something to do with Jiang Anzheng, but he couldn't hold back the rumor that the three of them became tigers.
As for the person who framed Lin Jingfei, Qin Xiang can also think of it. After so many things, Lin Jingfei finally forced her brother to break her thoughts completely.
Now, Lin Jingfei has nothing.
Others may not understand Lin Jingfei's mentality, but Qin Xiang has known her since childhood, and he knows why Lin Jingfei did this.
Before Ruan Zhiyin returned to the Ruan family, Lin Jingfei was the only daughter of the Ruan family. With the relationship between Qin Ruan and his family, if there is no accident, the other party will marry his brother as a matter of course.
But Lin Jingfei did not expect that Ruan Zhiyin would return to Ruan's house one day. The things that I had at the beginning were lost one by one, and the envious eyes of outsiders gradually shifted to others.
Qin Xiang knew very well that Lin Jingfei, who had competed with her for her brother's attention since childhood, could not let go of her vanity and desperately wanted to get it back, but she has come to the present step by step.
I thought that the matter had come to an end, but even if the marriage contract was terminated now, my brother was not happy. He went out early and returned late every day, and kept inquiring about sister Zhiyin's current situation from time to time, which made Qin Xiang very embarrassed.
Hearing Qin Xiang's words, Ye Yanchu held her chin and said, "Lin Wei has been arrested. If Lin Jingfei can recognize the facts, she should make a clean relationship with the Lin family."
Lin Cheng's lover had returned to China with his illegitimate son, and the Lin family were all vampires. Lin Jingfei's company has gone bankrupt. If she is obsessed, she will be offended.
"Forget it, don't mention her, let's talk happily. Sister Yanchu, are you celebrating your birthday soon? Come on, what do you want?" Qin Xiang glanced at Ye Yanchu with a smile.
"Now, I want a man."
Ye Yanchu sighed, thinking of Fu Chenyuan who was still angry because of her 'scumbag' behavior.
Qin Xiang: "…"
She can't be satisfied with this.
Qin Xiang turned his head to ask Ruan Zhiyin for help, but found that the other party was quietly looking at the dessert in front of him in a daze: "Sister Zhiyin, what's the matter with you?"
Ruan Zhiyin snapped back to her senses, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought that Ah Chu and Cheng Yuelin's birthdays seem to be only one day apart."
Not only that, but in the second year of high school, Cheng Yuelin once got angry once because of the birthday present.
At that time, we had just passed the New Year's Day holiday. When we returned to school, everyone had not recovered from the atmosphere of the holiday, and they were a little slack in the evening self-study.
Since the weekend was Ye Yanchu's birthday, Ruan Zhiyin prepared a birthday present early, which was a CD signed by Ye Yanchu's favorite singer.
The singer was an artist from Qin's Entertainment, and Qin Xiang asked for the autograph. Ruan Zhiyin specially bought exquisite gift boxes and wrapping paper, and after the first evening self-study, she kept wrapping gifts there.
It was at this moment that Qian Fan came to the classroom and went to talk to Cheng Yuelin, who was leaning against the window.
"Brother Lin, are you going to play on the weekend?"
Cheng Yuelin leaned there, took off the earphone he wore only one, lifted his eyelids at will, and replied perfunctorily, "No."
Qian Fan was not annoyed, he put his mouth aside, and then said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Uncle Cheng will come back to eat with you on your birthday this weekend?"
The young man looked slightly startled, glanced at Ruan Zhiyin, who was concentrating on wrapping gifts, and nodded casually: "Well, maybe."
Cheng Yuelin didn't care too much about birthdays. If Qian Fan didn't mention it, he would almost forget it.
"What birthday gift do you want this time, a whole Messi jersey?" Qian Fan smiled and took his shoulder.
Cheng Yuelin hooked his lower lip silently, his eyes were slightly slanted, he lowered his eyes and turned the earphones wrapped around his slender knuckles, and said casually: "I prefer practical things. For example, occasionally listening to songs... It's okay."
After he finished speaking, he raised his legs, and the book on the desk emphatically landed at Ruan Zhiyin's feet. Ruan Zhiyin, who was burying her head in wrapping gifts, turned her head in confusion: "?"
The other party slowly looked back, and picked up the book on his own, as if he just accidentally touched something on the desk.
In a flash, it was Friday.
After school, Cheng Yuelin stopped Ruan Zhiyin who was about to leave after packing up her schoolbag.
"Cheng Yuelin, what happened to you?"
Ruan Zhiyin is not wood, she has already noticed that he has been staring at her all day. She had not finished writing the paper for her evening self-study, and was stopped by someone at this moment, frowning and raising her eyes, her tone was also a little impatient.
Cheng Yuelin's expression was slightly stagnant, his eyes swept across her empty table hole, and then he straightened his lips and asked, "Well, what's in your table hole?"
Ruan Zhiyin didn't know why: "What?"
"Just that—" He paused, deliberately looking away, "gift box."
"Oh, it's for Ah Chu."
Cheng Yuelin frowned: "For her?"
"Yes, Ah Chu's birthday is today."
Cheng Yuelin: "..."
Later, he didn't speak to her for about half a week, and when their relationship improved the next year, he forced her to send two birthday gifts.
Thinking about it now, Cheng Yuelin at that time—
Really, awkward and cute.
—
At more than seven o'clock, Ruan Zhiyin and her friend parted and returned to the villa.
Cheng Yuelin was invited out by Qian Fan today. They haven't been together for a long time, so they probably won't come back so soon.
She went upstairs to change into loungewear, and after doing yoga in the living room following the video for a while, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Thinking that Cheng Yuelin had come back early, Ruan Zhiyin got up and went to open the door, but she was a little surprised when she saw the person: "Linlang?"
During the day, Gu Linlang said that she did not go out because of a temporary business, but Ruan Zhiyin did not expect that she would come here at this time.
"I really don't know where to go, so I can only come to you." Gu Linlang only wore a thin trench coat, no makeup, and her face was a little haggard.
Ruan Zhiyin rarely saw her in such a depressed state, so she turned to let her in, and after closing the door, she frowned and asked, "Have you quarreled with Fang Weirui?"
"It doesn't count." After dissipating the damp cold air outside, Gu Linlang shook her head, but threw a bomb in the next sentence, "Yinyin, I want to get a divorce."
Ruan Zhiyin was very surprised, her eyes opened slightly, but she couldn't ask what she wanted to say.
"What kind of look are you looking at?" Gu Linlang smiled, took a breath, and then said, "Don't worry, he didn't cheat, but I don't want to see him embarrassed anymore."
She walked to the sofa and sat down with a soft voice: "I went for an examination some time ago."
After speaking, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit bitter, "Yinyin, I didn't expect that I would not be able to have my own child."
Gu Linlang has always planned her life very well, whether it is marriage or career. Ruan Zhiyin knew that BING gradually got on the right track in the past two years, and she also began to try to prepare for pregnancy.
Unlike Ruan Zhiyin's concerns, Gu Linlang likes children very much, but sometimes, fate likes to joke like that.
"His mother treated me well, but it's impossible not to mind this kind of thing." Gu Linlang sighed and comforted herself, "But now that I have money and a career, I don't have to force men and children. No pressure."
Ruan Zhiyin frowned, and after a while, she asked, "What did Fang Weirui say?"
"He doesn't agree to divorce, but he also knows that this will make me easier, and he is willing to let me move out first." After speaking, Gu Linlang narrowed her eyes, "It's good to be calm and calm."
—
In the Jinhuang Club, there was a song playing in the huge box, but no one sang it.
Qian Fan was sitting at the mahjong table, and he was just in a good mood.
He lit a cigarette and looked at the man sitting alone on the sofa: "Brother Lin, you came out at night, did your sister-in-law tell you?"
Cheng Yuelin glanced at him, put down the wine glass in his hand, snorted softly, and replied, "Tell me? Think it's all like you?"
Qian Fan was forced to go on a blind date by his family recently. He resisted, and Qian's mother stared at his eating, drinking and playing style, making him miserable.
Fu Chenyuan smiled when he heard the words, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yo, listening to this tone, your family status is quite high?"
"improvise."
The voice is neither salty nor light, but it is implied to show off.
Hearing this, Fu Chenyuan didn't have the same knowledge as him. He got up and took his coat: "Okay, then you play for me, I'll leave first."
"What are you doing?" Qian Fan asked.
"Pick up someone." Fu Chenyuan glanced at the time on the phone for Qian Fan, and put on his jacket unhurriedly, "There is access control recently, so you can't drink outside at night."
"Tsk, the younger brother and sister are quite strict." Qian Fan shook his head, then looked at Cheng Yuelin, "Brother Lin, hello, I haven't seen my sister-in-law calling you to urge you to go home."
Cheng Yuelin: "..."
It doesn't sound very pleasant to hear.
However, as soon as Qian Fan finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table rang.
Cheng Yuelin glanced at the caller ID, frowned slightly, picked up the phone and connected: "Hello."
"Where are you?"
"Oh, drinking with Qian Fan and the others in Jin Huang." He vaguely raised his voice.
Just in the microphone, Ruan Zhiyin's voice seemed very relieved: "Then drink slowly, don't rush back."
Cheng Yuelin: "..."
Yu Guang glanced at the gazes of Qian Fan and Fu Chenyuan, and he coughed lightly: "I see, what are you urging, I'll go back now."
Ruan Zhiyin: "?"
Thinking he had misunderstood her meaning, Ruan Zhiyin said kindly: "I didn't rush you, Lin Lang is here, I will sleep with her tonight. Jin Huang is quite close to my apartment, if you drink too much, ask the driver to take you Just go to my apartment for a night."
Cheng Yuelin choked slightly when he was caught off guard, and he nodded calmly: "Well, I'll see later, I'll hang up first."
Seeing Cheng Yuelin put down the phone, Qian Fan asked, "Brother Lin, is your sister-in-law urging you to go home?"
Cheng Yuelin pursed his lower lip slightly, and his voice was casual: "Well, it's not that I stayed outside for too long, I miss me."
"Then what are you still doing?" Qian Fan hurriedly threw the man's coat hanging by the door to him, and urged, "Go back quickly."
Cheng Yuelin looked at the coat in his arms, and then looked at Fu Chenyuan who was standing at the door of the box. He pointed to the empty mahjong table, and said slowly, "I'm back, aren't you three missing one?"
"Call someone again, Wang Xin and the others are setting up a game next door, so there's no shortage of people." Qian Fan felt considerate, "Brother Lin, hurry up, save your sister-in-law waiting at home for a while and you'll be in a hurry."
Cheng Yuelin: "..."
—
In the villa, Ruan Zhiyin drank with Gu Linlang who was in a bad mood for a while, but Gu Linlang didn't drink much, but she was a little over the top.
Drunk gradually subsided, the two lay on the bed in the second bedroom and chatted for a while.
An hour later, Gu Linlang reluctantly looked at Ruan Zhiyin who had already fallen asleep, then glanced at the missed calls on her phone, and was about to leave.
As soon as I went downstairs, I heard a knock at the door.
Cong Jinhuang came out, and Cheng Yuelin asked the driver to circle the main city twice before returning to the villa.
Gu Linlang looked at the man in front of her, said hello, and instructed: "Yinyin fell asleep after drinking some wine, go and have a look."
Cheng Yuelin glanced upstairs, and then nodded: "The driver is still outside, let the driver see you."
"Alright." Gu Linlang didn't refuse.
When she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered the slightly persistent demeanor when the other party asked her about the Jade Buddha abruptly when she first met Cheng Yuelin four years ago.
"By the way—" Gu Linlang turned her head, "After getting married, Yinyin really became a lot more lively. In fact, she was much more lively in the orphanage before than when she returned to Ruan's house."
Gu Linlang is two years older than Ruan Zhiyin. Although the two are friends who grew up together, she also has a sense of responsibility as a sister.
Looking at the man's dark and calm eyes, she paused and said in a serious voice, "Can you keep her happy forever?"
Cheng Yuelin pursed his lips solemnly: "Of course."
"That's good." Gu Linlang breathed a sigh of relief.
—
The next day, when Ruan Zhiyin woke up rubbing her eyes, she found that she had actually returned to the master bedroom.
Turning her head and seeing the man beside her, she frowned: "Where's Linlang?"
"Let's go." Seeing Ruan Zhiyin contemplating, Cheng Yuelin flicked her head, "What's the matter, do you really want to kick me out of the house?"
She was talking about how she persuaded him yesterday that if he drank too much, he didn't have to rush home. Cheng Yuelin felt that she really didn't have any self-consciousness to control him.
Ruan Zhiyin shook her head after hearing this, and reached out to hug him: "No, then I have to accompany Linlang too."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll be abducted?" He looked down at her and said lightly.
Ruan Zhiyin paused for a while, then raised her eyes and said, "Then do you know how?"
"No." Cheng Yuelin sighed and rubbed her head, "Don't worry, no one can kidnap me."
Ruan Zhiyin laughed, buried her head in his arms, and thought of another thing: "A Lin, what birthday present do you want?"
"I want nothing."
The most wanted, has been obtained.
"How come you don't want anything?" Ruan Zhiyin was not satisfied with his answer, and raised her head again, frowning at him, "Think about it."
Cheng Yuelin's eyes were deep: "Ruan 嘤嘤, do you think life can be repeated?"
"Why do you ask?"
"If I can do it again, I have a wish."
"What wish?"
He didn't answer.
After Lin Zhe was imprisoned, Cheng Yuelin went to see him once. The other party was timid, and after intimidating a few words casually, he told him a lot about Ruan Zhiyin when he first returned to Ruan's house.
If there is still regret, it is probably that at that time, I did not realize what happened behind her silence, and everything she faced alone.
If she can really come back, she probably wants to go back to that time, protect all her smiles, make her fearless, and be unscrupulous in her future life.
Ruan Zhiyin waited for a long time, but couldn't wait for the man's answer, so she simply stopped asking. But this time, she wanted to give him the best birthday present.
