Feng Yi only felt that the person beside him pursed his lips tightly, and his whole body was tense, looking like he was facing a great enemy. Even if neither side spoke, he could roughly guess the identity of the other party.

A smile full of ridicule appeared on Wen Jingshu's face on the other side: "See Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time." I heard that you are going to marry into the Feng family, why don't you come to inform me of being an aunt, so that I can let me know that you have lived up to my years of cultivation. ”

Before Wen Jianning spoke, the person next to her had turned slightly sideways and blocked her behind: "It turns out that you are Jianning's aunt, we just returned to Hong Kong recently, and we were busy with the engagement, so we couldn't visit for a while, please don't be surprised." ”

Wen Jingshu originally thought that he was just the driver of the Feng family, but seeing that the young man in front of him was handsome and gentle, and his temperament was gentle and outstanding, he didn't know that he was the young master of the Feng family, and a trace of jealousy suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Feng Yi turned his head to Wen Jianning and said, "Second uncle is waiting for you in the study, you go over first, and I'll come right away." ”

She hesitated for a moment, then finally listened to him, turned and walked up the steps, the door of the Feng Mansion was open to her. After walking far away, she could still feel Wen Jingshu's gaze firmly nailed to her back.

She went up to the second floor, and did not rush to the study to find her second uncle, but stood by the window and looked downstairs.

The two outside the gate didn't talk for long, and finally Wen Jingshu got in the car and left.

Feng Yi walked through the courtyard alone, walked downstairs and looked up to see her, and continued to walk into the house.

Wen Jianning waited until he went up to the second floor, and saw that his expression was as usual, knowing that it should be nothing serious, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. She went back to Hong Kong many times, thinking that she was careless when she went out this time, and Wen Jingshu knew the news, so she was blocked at the door.

Feng Yi pondered for a moment before asking her, "...... It's been a few years, and it's not a good idea to be like this with your aunt. Why don't I come forward and be a peacemaker, and you can sit down and have a good talk. ”

Wen Jianning thought about it seriously for a while, and finally shook his head and refused: "Don't bother, I know my aunt, she is not a big-minded person." If you, the young master of the Feng family, come forward in person, she is only afraid that she will think that we are oppressing people with power, even if we are reconciled on the surface, I am afraid that in my heart I will only hate me even more. Anyway, let's live in Kunming for a long time in the future, and we just don't see each other. ”

Feng Yi repeatedly made sure that he didn't need to mediate, so he didn't mention it anymore.

However, he remembered another thing and asked, "Have you informed your cousins about our engagement?"

…… Naturally, there is no such thing.

She doesn't like to see Wan, she never thought of taking the initiative to write a letter to the other party to tell her something, and naturally she didn't plan to tell her about the engagement this time; However, Feng Yi may not think so, the two plan to get engaged, how can they also inform the sisters who have grown up with her since childhood.

Wen Jianning was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, he saw his disapproving gaze.

In the end, under Feng Yi's persuasion, she agreed to make an appointment with Jianxiu to meet at a place, at least to tell her about the engagement.

On the day of the meeting, he, as her exclusive driver, personally sent her to the meeting place. However, out of respect for Wen Jianning's decision, he did not go upstairs, but just waited on the street.

Wen Jianning sat by the window for a while, and saw a rickshaw stop downstairs, and a young woman in black clothes came down from it. After a while, the other party came straight upstairs under the guidance of the waiter and sat opposite her.

Seeing that Xiuxiu did not wear makeup today, her pale and delicate face was revealed under the black fine checkered mesh, and her eyebrows and eyes were the same as those in her memory, but they seemed to be a little different. She sat down and ordered a drink from the waiter, but did not speak for a long time.

It was Wen Jianning who broke the silence first, and the two gradually chatted.

To her surprise, as soon as she saw Xiu speak, she talked about the recent situation of the villa in the middle of the mountain.

Wen Jingshu has reached the menopause of women in recent years, and her temper has become more and more eccentric and suspicious, and she is angry about some trivial things at every turn, which puts everyone in the villa in danger. After a quarrel, Mei Shan finally couldn't bear to move out of the villa in the middle of the mountain, relying on the gifts of her old friends who have been generous over the years, she bought a villa in the area of Repulse Bay, and fought with Wen Jingshu in the air there.

Seeing that Xiule was watching the excitement on the sidelines, she was looking towards Wen Jingshu on the bright side, but she did not cut off contact with Mei Shan in private. Mei Shan told Jianxiu that she suspected that Wen Jingshu already knew that Wen Jianning's successful escape was the result of everyone joining forces to betray her. However, whether this guess is true or false, there is no way to verify it.

When Wen Jianning heard this, he just wanted to persuade Jianxiu to leave the place of right and wrong in the Mid-Levels Villa as soon as possible, but the words came to his lips: "You...... Wouldn't it be inconvenient to live with his aunt while he was still there?"

Seeing that Xiu heard her mention Yan Tingchen, she just sneered a few times and began to count all kinds of things he didn't like.

Since they got married, Jianxiu had to offer Wen Jingshu on the one hand, and on the other hand, she had to squander it on him, and her own expenses were not small, and she gradually became unable to do so. Yan Tingchen couldn't get the money, and he didn't have a good face for her, and he fooled around outside all day. Even if I still had fantasies at the beginning, in the increasingly frequent quarrels between the two, the original love gradually wore out.

In less than two years, their relationship was dead in name.

After the relationship became stiff, Jianxiu looked at the money in his hand very strictly. Yan Tingchen couldn't get the subsidy, and the money he cheated from other women was limited, so he turned around and hit his own idea back. Not long ago, he pried out the last sum of money from the old man, and planned to go to England to do business. Unfortunately, Europe is now at war, so it has to turn around and go to the western United States to pan for gold, and it is about to set off soon.

Wen Jianning finally couldn't help but ask, "Won't he take you with him?"

This question was really redundant, and sure enough, seeing Xiu sneered, he asked instead: "What about you, you have been doing well recently, I heard that you are going to get engaged to someone from the Feng family, but my aunt is so angry." ”

Wen Jianning didn't know how to talk about it, so he just nodded.

Seeing that Xiu took out a pack of cigarettes from the handbag he brought with him, and while lighting a cigarette for himself, he said lightly: "I am much more relieved to see that you have a home now." Among the three sisters, there must be one who can live well. ”

As she spoke, she pinched the cigarette with her fingertips and began to swallow the clouds and spit.

When the two of them were talking, Wen Jianning smelled the faint smell of tobacco on Jianxiu's body, which would look at her smoking posture, and couldn't help frowning: "Why are you smoking so fiercely, it's not good for your health." ”

Seeing Xiu, as if he hadn't heard her words, he was still oblivious to the clouds and mist. It wasn't until the waiter strode over and reminded them that there was a special smoking room downstairs that she reluctantly extinguished the cigarette butts.

After extinguishing the cigarette butt, seeing that Xiu Fangcai's still calm and indifferent face was a little restless, and he couldn't sit still more and more, and finally directly picked up his handbag and hurriedly said goodbye. Wen Jianning was in a hurry to go back when she suddenly remembered something, so she had to leave together.

After she saw Jianxiu get on the rickshaw and go away, the Feng family's car slowly drove to her side and stopped.

Seeing her come down so quickly, Feng Yi was a little surprised and said, "You guys are over so soon?"

Wen Jianning sighed: "Originally, there was nothing to say. ”

The two of them are no longer good sisters who talked about everything back then, not to mention that now they are obviously not going well with the embroidery, but she is proud of the spring breeze here, and everything she says is just talking in vain. However, their current situation was really worrying, but the only person she could inquire about happened to be not in Hong Kong, so she had to wait until she wrote back to ask her.

Feng Yi said directly: "I will ask the people of the Feng family to help you inquire when I go back." ”

Wen Jianning hesitated for a long time, and this time he finally didn't say anything to refuse.

The people around him said while driving intently: "Jianning, you should still get used to the fact that you have a fiancé earlier." ”

She turned her head to look at his handsome face, smiled slightly, and gradually became happy.

- Yes, she now has someone to rely on.

Although Feng Yi said this, this is not something that can be found out in a moment and a half.

After going back, Wen Jianning still wrote a letter to Jianwan, firstly to tell her that she was engaged, and secondly, to inquire about embroidery. After the letter was written, she thought about it and decided to write a letter to Jianxiuya.

If you can't say something, you may have to resort to pen and paper.

But when it was time to put pen to paper, she realized that she didn't know what to say to Jianxiu, what she could persuade had already been said, if Jianxiu was willing to listen, they would not have come to this day.

If she has any difficulties, she can write to her and tell her that if she can't live in the villa in the middle of the mountain, she can go to Kunming to find her, or if the situation is critical, she can also ask the Zhong family for help. She did not rush to send this letter to Jianxiu, but chose to put it in a book first, planning to ask someone to send it to her after leaving Hong Kong.

In the last few days of Hong Kong, Wen Jianning had a conversation with Zhong's father.

In October, "The Wanderings of a Bitter Child" began to be serialized in the newspapers one after another, and now it has finally come to an end. Compared with the previous "Wangzu" and "Yongding Bridge" series, the evaluation of this work is not too high, although the word of mouth is mixed, but it has greatly driven the sales of the newspaper. Father Zhong asked her if she could make another sequel and continue the story, which was also what the bookseller meant.

Wen Jianning hadn't thought about it for a while, and only said that she would think about it when she went back.

On the day they left Hong Kong, it was still Zhong Mu and Jiang Xuwen who saw them off, but this time, there was one more Feng Yi with them. After getting on board and saluting, the two men came out of the cabin and stood on the deck looking at the island behind them.

Wen Jianning's scarf was not tightly tied, and it was soon blown away by the howling sea breeze.

But she didn't care, she was still looking into the wind, so he had to step forward, carefully help her tidy up the scarf before putting down his hand, and looked in one direction with her, and after a while suddenly asked: "Jianning, have you ever thought about coming back to Hong Kong after graduation?" We can not live in the Feng Mansion, buy a villa in the future, and settle in the place where you grew up. ”

Wen Jianning was surprised: "Aren't we going to stay in Kunming, why did you suddenly say this." ”

Feng Yi turned his head to look at her: "Yunnan is about to be peaceful, the Japanese army may come in at any time, and the situation in Hong Kong is not too good, but I only hope you can stay in a more stable place." ”

She smiled: "Your mentality is the same as when Sister Feng Ling treated you." ”

Feng Yi bowed slightly, and said with a serious expression: "Yes, but unlike her, I am more willing to respect your choice." If you want to live a better life, I will also listen to your advice and reconsider where we settle and what kind of house we live in. You don't have to be burdened, we can live any life you want. ”

Looking at his solemn expression, Wen Jianning suddenly realized that he was really considering her opinion, as long as she said a word and nodded, he would consider how to rearrange the future of the two and live her life the way she wanted.

This forced her to think carefully for a while.

But she thought about it, and finally shook her head: "No need. ”

If she had gone around in a big circle and finally returned to the so-called superior person, then wouldn't it have become a joke for her who was bent on escaping from the Mid-Levels villa at the beginning. Hong Kong is very prosperous, and the life of the Feng Mansion is comfortable and comfortable, but she still prefers to spend time in Kunming, where there is a blue sky plateau and her familiar teachers and friends.

Except for a little idea of writing, she is a person with no big ambitions, and the small yard on the outskirts of the city is enough for the two of them to grow flowers and vegetables and live together. Other things were good, but she had no intention of forcing them for the time being.

It was probably because he saw that she really didn't have any ideas, so Feng Yi stopped mentioning it.

Soon after, they returned to Kunming.
