Chapter 368: A Difficult Punishment
The Yuanshan Building is 200 meters high, with a total of 66 floors, and is the headquarters of the Yuanshan Group, which belongs to the Murong family. Bayi?Chinese?? Net (1)?? .?8?
Jiang Ming stood in front of the building and glanced up, then strode inside.
Last night, he caused two incidents, kicking people out, and chasing the "car thief", which can be said to have added a lot of color to the old man Murong's birthday and helped Daxing, especially the "car thief", who committed suicide by taking poison is not counted, but also attracted the police, and broke up a good birthday banquet.
Old Man Jiang pointed at his nose and scolded him for half an hour before he stopped because of thirst.
After scolding, Old Man Jiang asked him to come over to receive the punishment, and specially told him that no matter whether the Murong family was beating or scolding, he had to listen honestly and accept it, and he was not allowed to defend or fight back. If they ask for it, he will do his best to meet it, and he will not prevaricate.
It was a big mistake to disturb the birthday banquet of the elderly, and Jiang Ming naturally would not admit it, so he obediently came over to admit the punishment.
Walking into the hall, he was about to explain his intention to the front desk receptionist, when he saw the Murong sisters accompanying his father out of the elevator, he walked over directly and greeted him respectfully, "Hello Uncle Murong." ”
"Well, here you are. Murong Zangfeng nodded slightly, showing a very cold expression.
"Last night, I acted innocently and disturbed Grandpa Murong's birthday banquet, so I came to ask for sin. Jiang Ming explained his intentions.
"Then you go to the old man, I can't act for him. As he spoke, Murong Zangfeng turned his head to look at his daughter, "Lan Xin, you take him up." ”
"Let Kenshin take him there, and I'll accompany you to run errands. Murong Lanxin didn't seem to want to do such a trivial thing as leading the way.
"Let you go, where are you talking so much?" Murong Zangfeng seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his daughter's performance.
"It's just that, you always did things with your father in the past, and it should be my turn again. Murong Jianxin also ran out to add fuel to the fire, looking like he wanted to compete with his sister for favor.
"Okay. Murong Lanxin had no choice but to agree, looking at Jiang Ming, "You come with me." ”
Jiang Ming said goodbye to Murong Zangfeng, then walked with her to the elevator, stood in front of the elevator and turned around, but saw that Murong father and daughter were still standing in place looking at them, and had no intention of leaving.
Turning her head to look at Murong Lanxin, she saw that she was waiting patiently for the elevator, and she didn't mean to look back. Jiang Ming didn't know what they were doing, so he waited quietly with her.
When the elevator came, the two went in one after another, and after the elevator door closed, Murong Lanxin pressed the button on the sixtieth floor, and said lightly, "They want to match us." ”
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, thinking that his ears were broken, "What did you say?"
"The paper marriage contract is null and void. Murong Lanxin changed his mind.
There is no need to restore what is invalid.
"I see. Jiang Ming understood her intentions, so naturally he would not force it.
His memories of her came from 2,000 years ago and had nothing to do with her now, so even if he had some difficulties in his heart, he was still willing to respect her choice.
"I'm sorry. Murong Lan looked at him in her heart and apologized very sincerely.
Jiang Ming was a little puzzled, "Why do you say that?"
Murong Lanxin, who has always been smart, shook her head slightly, "I don't know, I feel sorry for you." ”
didn't want to see her like this, so Jiang Ming changed the subject, "How do they want to match us, do you know?"
"It's nothing more than some indiscriminate methods, which are forced by righteousness, moved by reason, and coerced by elders...... That's probably it, it's boring. Murong Lanxin was very disdainful of the situation she was about to encounter.
"What would you do if you changed?" Jiang Ming asked curiously. Since she doesn't like these methods, she should have a more clever one.
"There are many ways, for example, now, you can make the elevator stop......" Murong Lanxin just said this, the elevator shook, the lights flashed a few times, and it really stopped.
"You guessed it right. Jiang Ming admired her very much, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence, or if the elevator came here to cooperate with her.
"......" Even if he is usually unparalleled in wisdom, Murong Lanxin is very speechless at the moment. But now is not the time to speak, no matter whether the fault is true or not, you must always start saving yourself first.
She took a step forward and pressed the floor buttons one by one, but this is the company's high-rise special elevator, many floors are non-stop, there are only twenty-three buttons in total, except for the above six, not to mention, if the elevator really broke down and fell suddenly, they only had seventeen chances to live.
After clicking the button, she picked up the phone on the side and notified the staff that the elevator was out of order and asked them to repair it urgently.
As soon as I heard that it was a high-rise special elevator, it was the group lady who was trapped, and the opposite side promised to be very happy, and the voice was even more panicked and anxious.
Putting down the phone, Murong Lan stood aside and said lightly, "Wait patiently." ”
"How long will you wait?" Jiang Ming always felt that there would be problems if he was alone with her for a long time, so he was very concerned about the length of time.
"If it's a breakdown, it should be quick. Murong Lanxin told him that different situations have different performances, "If it is artificial, it is estimated that it will take a long time." ”
It's equivalent to saying nothing!
Jiang Ming stood against the wall helplessly, and then thought about a very serious question - should I take the elevator in the future?
Seeing that he looked depressed, Murong Lan comforted, "This elevator has a good ventilation system, even if the power is off, it can work uninterrupted for twenty-four hours, and you won't be suffocated." ”
Now that the power is not cut off, there is no need to worry about this problem.
"You're going to be thirsty, you're going to be hungry. Since she spoke, Jiang Ming took two sentences.
"It shouldn't be that long. Murong Lanxin could only say this, she couldn't change food and water.
Jiang Ming looked at the top of his head, then at the elevator door, and asked her, "Can you forcibly break it out?"
He's carrying a backpack this time!
"We're on the fifty-first floor and in the middle of the fifty-two, and even if you pry the door open, it's not so easy to get out. Speaking of this, Murong Lan glanced at him, "You are here to receive the punishment today, just wait patiently." ”
Jiang Ming thought about it, if it was really a failure, it would be fine for him to break it out, if it was artificial, he would be a little ignorant of good people's hearts if he did it.
"It's the first time I've seen you wear this kind of clothes. Not wanting to dwell on the problem of the elevator, Jiang Ming shifted his gaze.
Murong Lanxin is wearing a very formal dress today, a light gray round-neck suit, trousers of the same color, and a rare pair of white floral high heels, dressed as a white-collar worker in the workplace.
"Originally, I was going to accompany my father to inspect the company below, so naturally I had to dress like that. Murong Lanxin explained, and asked him again, "Do you want to follow their wishes and plan to discuss with me the issues of dress, beauty, and ugliness?"
Many times, the relationship between the two people is approached in small talk, unconsciously achieved, and Murong Lan seems to want to avoid this situation.
Jiang Ming smiled awkwardly, and then kept silent, why do you need to do annoying things?
Talking about this, the two tacitly agreed not to talk anymore, and looked straight ahead, no longer looking at each other.
After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, the elevator began to run normally, and they were safely sent to the 60th floor.
Murong Lanxin knocked on the door of his grandfather's office with Jiang Ming, and after entering, his grandfather was sitting on the sand in the reception area and closed his eyes to recuperate, as if he had been waiting for them for a long time.
The two walked over and stood up, and Murong Qiushan opened his eyes, "You're here." ”
Jiang Ming hurriedly said, "Grandpa Murong is good." ”
"Sit down. Murong Qiushan glanced at the opposite sand, and then looked at his granddaughter, "It's been a long time since I've drunk the tea you made." ”
Murong Lanxin glanced at the tea set that had already been prepared, "I know, Lanxin will go and clean his hands." ”
With that, she turned around and went to the lounge, where there was a place to wash her hands.
"Lanxin is proficient in the tea ceremony, and the tea brewed is unforgettable, and you can taste two more cups in a while. "Murong Qiushan was very generous.
"Grandpa Murong, I'm very vulgar, I don't understand tea, I don't drink tea, no matter how good the tea is, it doesn't make much difference when I drink it, so it's better to waste two cups less. Jiang Ming politely excused himself.
Two people with different tastes, it's better not to get together.
"Is it good or not, do you want to drink it, wait until you drink it, okay?" Murong Qiushan was not angry, but discussed with Yan Yue.
Jiang Ming didn't want to continue on this topic, so he didn't answer, and bluntly changed the topic, "Grandpa Murong, I acted recklessly last night and disrupted your birthday banquet, please punish you." ”
"Young people, it is inevitable to be impetuous and impulsive and reckless in doing things, and grandpa is old, so how can he bother with you? "Murong Qiushan was very generous.
"You don't care, that's your massive Wang Han, but as a late-born junior, you can't admit your mistakes, don't dare to go unpunished, otherwise your sense of awe will gradually lose, won't you repeat it?" Jiang Ming's attitude of admitting his mistake was very resolute, because apart from this topic, he didn't want to discuss anything else today.
At this time, Murong Lanxin came out of the inside, glanced at him, sat down beside him, packed up the tea set, and began to make preparations before making tea.
Murong Qiushan just didn't see his granddaughter, and stared at Jiang Ming, "Do you have to punish you, an old man, for you to be comfortable?"
"If you have made a mistake, you should be punished. Jiang Ming had no doubts about this.
"Is it how to punish you, you are willing?" Murong Qiushan asked.
Jiang Ming's eyes were firm, and his tone was sonorous, "If you can do it, you can't do it." ”
"Yes, a good boy with responsibility. Murong Qiushan praised him, and pointed at Murong Lan's heart, who was washing the cup, "If I punish you for taking care of her for the rest of your life, can you do it?"
Murong Lan heard this, although she had been prepared, her hands couldn't help but tremble. Although it quickly stabilized, his heart was by no means as casual as it seemed.
Jiang Ming didn't look at her, but replied very affirmatively, "Can't do it!"
"Why?" asked Murong Qiushan with blazing eyes.
Jiang Ming sighed lightly and said with regret, "I can't give what she wants." ”
Murong Qiushan didn't get angry, but looked at his granddaughter, "Lan Xin, what do you want?"
