Seeing Jiang Yan's playful and sullen look in front of her, Lorraine's smile became even brighter. Perhaps it was because Jiang Yan helped him solve a lot of troubles unconditionally, Luo Lin couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart every time he saw Jiang Yan. On this lonely and deserted winter night, the reunion of two people seemed so romantic.
After a few words, the two of them started eating spicy hotpot and drinking canned beer. The owner of the spicy hotpot stall is also happy to do the business of the two people in front of him. The amount of fish ball skewers and beef ball skewers sold at this moment is more than what he usually sells in a whole night.
The two of them exchanged words with each other. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they didn't have the slightest connection with each other.
"Sister Yan, look at the way you hung up the phone just now. What happened? Did you quarrel with your family?" Lorraine took a sip of beer, "Seriously, Sister Yan, it is a blessing to be able to see your parents every day. That's it... let's relax for a while and I'll take you back."
Jiang Yan obviously didn't drink very well. After two cans of beer, her pretty little face was already flushed with red. Sadness and helplessness were revealed from between her beautiful eyebrows, and she sighed deeply: " I don’t want to quarrel with my family either… But, alas, I can’t accept that Liu Hao, and my parents are too arbitrary when it comes to my emotional affairs.”
Liu Hao
Lorraine blinked and thought for a moment, recalling that the guy she met when she had dinner with Jiang Yan at the small restaurant was probably the arrogant guy who pretended to be "cool" and pretended to be on Mount Everest. It seems that the family conditions are good, but his character is too poor. It is no wonder that Jiang Yan is completely unable to accept him with her picky views on mate selection.
Lorraine shrugged: "That's right, Sister Yan, you are in your twenties this year, right? After all, it is a girl's family, and it is inevitable for the family to worry about you. Besides, Sister Yan, you are Who doesn’t know the name of the glamorous policewoman? Basically, it is a high level of difficulty that even the opposite sex cannot get close to. If you are like other normal girls and have a boyfriend by your side, there will naturally be no self-righteousness at home. What I advocate is arranging a blind date for you."
"Haha, little guy, you think I'm old?" Jiang Yan's words were a bit sour, but when she thought about it, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes, flickering, "Oh, that's easy to say... None of you men can be trusted. . How could I casually entrust my life to an unreliable man?"
"Not necessarily, but don't make generalizations." Lorraine smiled and patted her chest, "Aren't I just a great man?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan curled her lips quickly. Qin Wanshu, Song Meiyuan and Lan Lan suddenly appeared in her mind. She rolled her eyes at Lorraine and said, "Just you? Pull me down! Now at such a young age, there are so many beauties around me. Dui, I don’t know how much I’ll spend in the future. I’m such a playboy. Even if I were single all my life, I would never find a boyfriend as insecure as you.”
Lorraine shouted: "It's unfair."
Jiang Yan snorted and said: "I didn't accuse you wrongly. Aren't your two aunts beautiful women? You are not related by blood. I see that they both look at you differently, and that Lanlan one Student sister, I'm afraid I'm also interested in you. You, your behavior style is too different, you are always merciful." As she spoke, Jiang Yan smacked her red lips, squinted her slightly cold eyes and smiled "Yan" He groaned and said: "But, you little guy, as a younger brother is still more suitable. At least you take him out on a regular basis, which is more likable. Although... you are full of bad ideas."
"Who's so upset?" Lorraine refused to admit it at all and retorted with a curled lip.
Jiang Yan rolled her eyes at him and changed the topic: "By the way, little guy, what's wrong with you today? Why do you come to the night market street in the middle of the night to have fun? Construction has been going on here for a while. I don't believe that as the head of the Rock Group, Young Master, you don’t know that there are no entertainment venues here anymore. Why are you so crazy? Are you feeling melancholy while sitting in this small cart stall? Isn’t your Aunt Qin accompanying you? What? I’m looking for a new love. , I don’t want you anymore?” Thinking of the lonely figure of Lorraine she saw when she came here just now, Jiang Yan said something coldly, as if to deliberately stimulate Lorraine, but there was a hint of expectation, as if I'm looking forward to that Aunt Qin really "finding a new love".
Being provoked by Jiang Yan's words, Lorraine's feeling of separation was brought out again, and her expression suddenly became a little lonely: "She also went to Yanjing. From now on, I will really be alone."
When Jiang Yan heard this, she felt a little happy. But thinking about Lorraine's family background, it is rare for her parents to come back to Zhengzhou City. Just like now, it is almost the end of the year, and Lorraine is alone. In fact, sometimes I think about it, a high school student who has just turned eighteen lives alone every day, goes to school alone, sleeps alone, and doesn’t even have anyone to talk to at home. This is indeed pitiful.
However, based on Jiang Yan’s understanding of Lorraine, he is a very strong person. He always seems to be laughing and cynical on the surface every day. However, after getting along with him many times, he discovered that Lorraine has actually been dealing with various problems. Some things are for relatives, some are for friends, and some are even for a little kindness. As for himself, it seems that he has always had an indifferent attitude. Such people usually live a very tiring life. It’s hard to imagine that a young guy could have such an admirable understanding of life.
Perhaps it was precisely because she gradually discovered this trait in Lorraine that Jiang Yan became more and more fond of the little guy.
"Then, will your parents come back during the Chinese New Year?" Jiang Yan asked softly with an inexplicable pain in her heart as she looked at Luo Lin, who suddenly became a little melancholy in front of her.
Lorraine smiled: "They said they would come back, but I also know very well that the end of the year is a great opportunity for market integration. If you miss this opportunity, you may be overtaken by others, or even be far behind in the competition. Leave them behind. From the bottom of my heart, I miss them, but I don’t want them to delay Yanjing’s business because of me.”
"So... what are you going to do?"
Lorraine's eyes were slightly absent-minded. The light bulb on the cart stall emitted a faint yellow light, which wiped a trace of loneliness in Lorraine's eyes. Finally, he took a sip of beer, wiped the corners of his mouth, and exhaled the white mist: "Of course, I'll wait until they come back. As a parent, letting them see me will make them feel at ease. If we can't be together during the New Year, If I go there together, or if I go to Yanjing rashly alone, there is no other use than making them worry and blame themselves."
"Wouldn't that affect Yanjing's business?"
Lorraine suddenly laughed. She didn't know if it was an illusion. At this moment, Jiang Yan felt that the little guy in front of her suddenly became a man who had gone through vicissitudes of life. There was a faint trace of indifference and a look that seemed to have seen through the world of mortals. Temperament: "Business? A person's life is all about love, not material things. In today's world, everyone is running non-stop for a living, and no one stops to reflect on their own lives. It's unclear. In this world, you spend your life running around for some red and green money without any reason, and then you die without any reason. Many people live too dull a life. In fact, many times, it is the material that controls us, not us that controls the material. Society. Although material value is created by us humans. If we don’t bring it in life, we won’t take it with us in death. As the only emotional animals in the world, if we only talk about material things and ignore emotions, then we are really like the walking dead. Not as good as that.”
Perhaps it was the sultry moonlight and the deep loneliness in Lorraine's heart that made him express his attitude towards life for the first time. When most people hear these words, they will definitely look at them with disdain and say: "What the hell? Pretending to be cool." But if you chew it slowly, you will understand something more or less.
At this time, Jiang Yan was in a trance. Looking at Lorraine's thoughtful expression, she seemed to find that Lorraine in front of her was a little strange. In a daze, she was touched by Lorraine's slightly pessimistic and indifferent remarks...
For a long time, neither of them spoke, drinking beer in silence.
Finally, Lorraine was the first to break the silence with a smile: "However, I will help the Lowe Group to settle down firmly in Yanjing. I have decided to go to Yanjing to study at university. My parents have raised me for so many years, and I have to do well no matter what. Repayment is not.”
"Well... come on." Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, speechless, nodded seriously, and said these two words.
"By the way, Sister Yan." The melancholy on Lorraine's face before was swept away, replaced by the usual smile, "Recently, our Zhengzhou Municipal Bureau has launched a severe crackdown on those Fengyue project venues and gathering gambling venues. , are you still continuing?"
Lorraine's thoughts jumped a little. Jiang Yan didn't react for a moment. She paused for a moment before returning to the state of a capable female police officer. She thought for a while and said, "Well, it's still going on. And now that the New Year is approaching, some people gather to gamble. There are more and more people, and those who have drunk and have no place to vent, usually arrange those disgusting romantic projects. Therefore, the supervision of these places is still being further strengthened. ... However, many places cannot be touched. . Where some big shots are backing, no one dares to supervise... Lorraine, you should understand these shady unspoken rules."
Jiang Yan's expression was a little tired at this time. She was obviously a little tired of this routine and boring work. She couldn't cure these phenomena at all. She was just making fun of those small places that were not popular. They were all for "hair" purposes. Just to show off to the citizens.
After a pause, Jiang Yan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned to Lorraine and said: "By the way, I heard that your Rock Group is currently the second largest shareholder of Caesars Palace. Tell me honestly, is there anything in the Rock Group? Injecting funds into those color departments?"
Lorraine smiled, thinking that the topic was coming, and waved her hand: "Of course not. Let me tell you quietly that I was the one who planned the Rock Group becoming the second largest shareholder of Caesars Palace."
"What?" Jiang Yan's beautiful eyes were stunned and she said in surprise.
