Chu Xinran grabbed Leng Xixi's hand and shook his head at her, "No...... Don't ask, I don't want to...... It makes him feel like I'm something. In case he was already cold to me, at least I could ...... Leave your dignity behind......"

In the last few words, Chu Xinran said very unconfidently, now she actually has some inferiority complex, coupled with Leng Yehan's recent indifferent attitude, Chu Xinran always felt that the word "dignity" was very unsuitable, as if it no longer belonged to her.

"You guys are really ...... Alas, you can't save people a little worry. Leng Xixi sighed helplessly, she originally thought that the situation would develop in a better direction, who knew that her brother was going to make a fool of himself again.

The retro bells of the residential area are ringing, and the sound of the old stretch is heard.

Chu Xinran wiped his tears and tried to squeeze out a smile, "Okay, it's time for me to paint, I'll go back to the room first." ”

After Chu Xinran finished speaking, he left the garden, leaving Leng Xixi standing there alone with a sad expression, "Chu Xinran, brother...... It feels like it's my business. ”

……

A few days later, at night, the Leng family received an invitation to the dance sent by the Li family.

Chu Xinran, who grew up in a merchant family, understands what it means for each family to hold a ball, which is nothing more than to connect feelings, serve as a medium for business cooperation, and establish good relations with the political community, so as to make the future business road easier.

The invitation in Chu Xinran's hand was also sent, and the inviter was Li Haoxi, which made Chu Xinran feel very surprised.

"Are you sure you want me to go to the Li family's ball tonight? Chu Xinran looked at Leng Yehan who was sitting on the sofa opposite with a look full of tangled eyes, and actually hoped that he would not go.

However, Chu Xinran's expectations were disappointed, and Leng Yehan's thin lips opened lightly and said lightly: "Anyway, you and Li Haoxi know each other, and there is nothing wrong with attending the ball to socialize." ”

Leng Yehan's answer made Chu Xinran startled, is this still the Leng Yehan she knew before. He used to be very disgusted with his contact with Li Haoxi, but now that his attitude has changed, his attention to this matter has become different.

Looking at Leng Yehan's indifferent look, Chu Xinran's heart was extremely sad, she secretly sank to herself, and responded angrily: "Since this is the case, then what kind of dress should I wear tonight." Which kind do you think Li Haoxi will like girls to wear? ”

After Chu Xinran said this, he paid special attention to Leng Yehan's reaction, but he sat there staring at the phone screen as always, as if he didn't care about her question at all, and said casually: "You can wear anything, you can choose for yourself." ”

"You ......" Chu Xinran was really about to die of cold night, she got up from the sofa and looked at Leng Yehan, "Then I'll go and call Li Haoxi and ask him what he likes," Chu Xinran finished speaking, and left the living room with a displeased face.

Leng Yehan finally raised his eyes that had been lowered, and looked at the back of Chu Xinran running upstairs angrily, his eyes were as uncalm as a storm.

Luo Yidong, who had just walked into the living room, witnessed everything that had just happened, Leng Yehan didn't notice him walking in, he looked at Leng Yehan's tangled expression, and shook his head with a slight frown.

……

At night, the lights are on, and the courtyard is decorated with a lively and brilliant house.

The dance party is actually about the same, especially today, Chu Xinran is in a very bad mood, even if this is a dance party held by the Li family, she is not in the mood and interested in finding fun at the dance.

Today, Leng Xixi did not attend the ball with her, because her relationship with Le Jingwen has reached the point of glue. Thinking about Leng Xixi's tangled feelings that have come to fruition, but she obviously has a result but has no result, Chu Xinran couldn't help but smile bitterly, laughing at herself in her heart Why her fate is always so unlucky.

Sitting in the corner where no one was noticed, Chu Xinran remembered Chu Xinyue who left City C with Li Haoze, "At the dance held by the Li family, Li Haoze didn't show up, it seems that he is really determined to take his sister away from this place of right and wrong." But it's okay, although I can't see my sister and miss it, but at least I can guarantee that she is safe. ”

was looking forward to Chu Xinyue and Li Haoze's affairs in her heart, and the figure of Leng Yehan hugging and dancing with a strange woman jumped into Chu Xinran's eyes, making her nerves tense instantly, and her heart throbbed uncontrollably.

"Cold night, you...... What exactly does that mean. In the past, I would be unhappy because of my contact with Li Haoxi, but now...... You seem to wish I had too much contact with Li Haoxi, I really don't understand, what is your idea in your heart. ”

Chu Xinran was muttering to himself in pain alone, but Leng Yehan couldn't hear it at all, "Didn't you say that I would leave everything to you." It's not that ...... Do you want to find out who is behind it for me? So now...... What are you doing here? Could it be ...... That thing is still about you. You're just fooling me with emotional tricks, aren't you? Isn't it. ，”

As the cold night and the dancing woman became closer and closer, Chu Xinran's heart was also torn apart. When Leng Yehan's attitude was cold at the beginning, she could also comfort herself with the fact that Leng Yehan announced the relationship between the two of them, but now Chu Xinran couldn't find that temperature at all, "In the end, Leng Yehan did nothing more than to protect himself,"

Unable to stand the cold night and being intimate anymore, Chu Xinran wiped his tears and turned around and ran into the corridor, and when he saw the stairs, he ran upstairs without thinking about it.

The upstairs of the Li family's main house does not have to be cold, the corridor is short, the downstairs is very lively, but the upstairs is so dark that it makes people feel a little scary. Chu Xin then ran up with regret, and she was just about to return the same way when she heard the voices of two people talking.

"Brother Li, can't you still believe in my Liang Zhensheng's character? Although I met Leng Yehan, it was only for the request of my second daughter that I would find an excuse to invite him to the house, but in fact, nothing happened between the two of us. ”

The person who spoke was Li Huaqing, and Chu Xinran remembered his voice, but even if he didn't remember it, it didn't matter, because as long as he thought about it, he knew who the so-called "second daughter" was, and it must be Miss Liang Er.

"You want Leng Yehan to be your son-in-law, and then make a complete settlement with me here. The person who spoke this time was Li Haoxi's father, Li Huaqing, and when he heard him speak, Chu Xinran's heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Brother Li, you really wronged me with what you said, that second girl in my family, she has indeed been pursuing Leng Yehan, and she also pestered me to go to Leng's house to take the initiative to mention this matter. But Leng Yehan had no intention of her, and the engagement didn't take place as scheduled after so long, so my daughter decided to let go of Leng Yehan, and wanted to have a meal with him as a parting gift before saying that she would break up and never see each other again. ”

After such a long time, Chu Xinran finally knew what Leng Yehan did when she went to Liang's house on the day of the graduation ceremony, but at this moment, she really didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

Observe for yourself again, the source of the sound is in a room a few meters away in front of you, maybe because there is no one in the corridor upstairs, so the door is not related, which makes Chu Xinran hear the conversation between the two people.

Leng Yehan once said that he found out that Li Huaqing and Liang Zhensheng were very close, and it would not make sense if they got close for the sake of interests, the most important thing was that Leng Yehan suspected that the two of them were doing something.

Gambling is angry, at the critical moment, Chu Xinran still cares a lot about what Leng Yehan said, her footsteps can't help but start to slowly approach the door, and when she was about to approach the door, she was pulled away by a person holding her wrist.

Chu Xinran's first reaction was that she found her missing after dancing in the cold night, so she found her upstairs, but when she saw the person in front of her, Chu Xinran's heart was almost cold.

"Li Haoxi, you ...... Why pull me to run. Chu Xinran looked at Li Haoxi with a sad look in her eyes, although she asked like this, she followed Li Haoxi all the way to the garden outside without hesitation.

Li Haoxi finally stopped, turned his head and looked back at Chu Xinran, who was not in a high mood, "I'm sorry, Chu girl, because I haven't seen you for a long time, I can't help but be excited and drag you here." ”

Li Haoxi said this in his mouth, but he let out a long breath in his heart. The situation just now was very dangerous, and if Chu Xinran took a step closer to the room, it was likely that the two people who were talking there would know about it.

Li Haoxi is a bit of a soldier now, he doesn't think that Li Huaqing or Liang Zhensheng are such careless people, and when they talk about something, they will open the door wide, maybe they saw Chu Xinran running up, so he deliberately made a trap to lure her into the bait.

Fortunately, Chu Xinran was taken away in time just now, Li Haoxi looked at her face that didn't look quite right, and couldn't help but be a little concerned: "Girl Chu, it's been more than eight months since the last cold night announced your relationship, and this time is ...... How are you doing in the cold house? Cold night chill him...... Hello to you. ”

Asking such words, Li Haoxi had an indescribable sense of disobedience in his heart, and when he heard him say such a thing, Chu Xinran finally couldn't help but hug Li Haoxi's arms and cry bitterly.

Chu Xinran's reaction made Li Haoxi feel very uncomfortable, he had also seen Leng Yehan dancing with others before, so he found Chu Xinran running upstairs during the search.

Chu Xinran cried for a long time before she slowly stopped crying, but her sobs still came out intermittently.

Li Haoxi caressed Chu Xinran's back to soothe her uneasy emotions, "Miss Chu, what if...... I mean, if you're not happy there...... You can tell me that I can take you away, just like my brother and your sister did. ”

Li Haoxi's words made Chu Xinran stunned, but soon she smiled bitterly and shook her head, "No, Li Haoxi, I'm different from my sister." And...... There was once a man who said the same thing to me, but I refused and then agreed, and finally ...... This is my life, and I can't escape it, so ......"

"Don't say it. Li Haoxi covered Chu Xinran's mouth and didn't let her continue, "I already understand what you mean, I know that even if you leave Leng Yehan one day, you will definitely not choose me." ”

"I'm sorry......" Chu Xinran lowered her head and apologized to Li Haoxi, and her response gave Li Haoxi the most direct answer.

Entrance to the garden

Leng Yehan looked at Chu Xinran and Li Haoxi with an unpredictable look on his face, he didn't know how long he had been standing, and he finally came back to his senses until Luo Yidong's hand was clapped on his shoulder, so he turned around and looked at Luo Yidong.

"Big brother, your mood ups and downs have made you unsuspecting. ”

Listening to what Luo Yidong said, Leng Yehan replied with silence.
