Chapter 213: Brooch
Cheng Xunxun was stunned, not to mention that if Sun Jie didn't appear, she really forgot about it, there were so many things before, she completely left this matter behind, or she actually never took this promise to Sun Jie to heart, she was sure that Sun Jie would not be able to get rid of his marriage contract, so she was just talking.
In this way, she can be regarded as fulfilling the promise she made to Sun Jie before she lost her memory.
When I called him two days ago, Sun Jie also said that he was busy with official business and might not have time to come over to cheer her on, but the flower basket would definitely be delivered. Cheng Xunxun understood this, so she was naturally surprised that Sun Jie appeared in front of her without warning.
It seems that he has specially prepared a surprise for her.
But now, there is surprise, but not much joy.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked him up and down, smiled slightly, folded her arms with both hands, and said, "It's been solved so smoothly?"
"What's the matter, the country has only officially entered a normal state now, okay. Sun Jie glanced at her, frowned slightly, and said, "What do you mean by this?
"That's not it, I said that as long as you can solve the affairs of your family smoothly, on the premise of not turning your face, I will definitely marry you. I just don't know if you're coming here now, if you're coming to marry me when everything is done, or if you want to do a prelude. Cheng Xunxun squinted his eyes, looking like I could see through you.
Sun Jie shook his head with a smile and said, "That's naturally the former." β
Cheng Xunxun looked at him for a moment before he nodded and said, "Okay, you go to the store first, you can order whatever you want, you don't have to pay today." β
The two entered the store together, the store was full, Cheng Xunxun beckoned him to go upstairs, Sun Jie only needed a cup of coffee, Cheng Xunxun took a piece of cheesecake and followed him upstairs. I found a place by the window and sat down.
"Na, this is what I got up early in the morning and made it myself, you can eat and see. β
Sun Jie glanced at her, then quietly picked up the spoon, dug a small piece and put it in his mouth, he raised his eyebrows, and said, "It tastes good, I remember that you don't like to do kitchen things very much, why did you suddenly remember to open a store? Don't go to work in Shengqi anymore?"
"The workplace work is too tiring, and I want to change to a no-brainer career, so I opened such a store after thinking about it. You think, look at those delicate pastries, cakes every day. The mood will improve. The things I have to do every day are to make coffee and make some bread and cakes. Cheng Xunxun grinned, jokingly, and said: "The main thing is that I have a father, and I am not afraid of losses." β
Sun Jie sneered, shook his head, and said, "This is to the point, you are just playing with tickets." β
"I'm joking, I'm also very serious about it, maybe I'll be famous, after all, there are two treasures in this store. Cheng Xunxun raised his chin.
Sun Jie raised his eyebrows, took a sip of coffee, and asked, "Really, which two treasures of the town store?"
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Xunxun's eyes glanced behind him, then he stood up, walked over with a smile on his face, pulled Mi Lai who came up to Sun Jie, pointed at her seriously, and said, "Come on, let me give you a grand introduction, one of the treasures of the store, Mi Lai." β
Sun Jie immediately stood up, politely stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Sun Jie, my fiancΓ© in Xunxi." β
When Cheng Xunxun heard this, the smile on his face froze, and Mi Lai was also shocked by the news, so he didn't care about Sun Jie's outstretched hand at all, turned his head and glanced at Cheng Xunxun, with a blank expression, and asked, "Your fiancΓ©?"
"Ugh. Cheng Xunxun paused for three or four seconds, laughed, and said, "Sort of, I'll talk to you about this later." β
Sun Jie chuckled, reached out and grabbed Mi Lai's hand, shook it, and then pulled Cheng Xunxun over, let her sit on his side, and said, "It won't take a while, let's talk now." I'd like to hear what you say. β
Cheng Xunxun secretly twisted his waist, still with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Don't you want to ask, what is the second baby in our store?"
Sun Jie took a breath, but his expression did not change in the slightest, he leaned sideways against his head, looked at her with a smile, reached out and touched her cheek, and said, "It's not your baby." β
Mi Lai sat opposite them, shivered, rubbed his arms, snorted twice, and said, "You two, can you have some quality, I'm still sitting here, can you not show affection in front of me, a single person?"
Cheng Xunxun stretched out his hand to cover his face and said, "Put away your love that is about to overflow, don't disgust me." β
Sun Jie was not annoyed, opened his mouth and bit her hand, and when his lips touched her fingers, Cheng Xunxun almost reflexively avoided it, glanced at him, and said very seriously: "Be serious." β
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble. Sun Jie smiled slightly, sat up straight, straightened his clothes, and introduced himself again seriously.
Mi Lai endured a smile, and then generously stretched out his hand to hold his hand, and said: "My name is Mi Lai, everyone is Chinese, don't say the English name, you can call me Xiaomi." β
A large number of people in this store are friends of Cheng Xunxun and Mi Lai, and the two of them couldn't sit still, so they only chatted for a while, and then got up to greet others.
When he went downstairs, Mi Lai glanced back at Sun Jie, tapped her arm, and asked in a low voice: "This even has a fiancΓ©, why are you still clamoring to find a partner?" I see that Sun Jie is quite positive and enthusiastic about you, and he looks okay, if he doesn't speak, he looks quite mature and steady. It's just a mouthpiece, it's too slippery. β
"But women eat this set, what's the matter? You don't like it? Do you like that Chen Yujian? Compared with that person, I think this Sun Jie is better. At least if you are married, Sun Jie should be the first choice, you can live a good life, and it will be good for you. Didn't you say it all, if you want to get married, you don't have to love you. β
Cheng Xunxun sneered, glanced at her with his spare eyes, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't like it, it's this person, I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, I can't say." β
"Yo, what about the stories here? I always thought that only melancholy and taciturn men were full of stories, and it turned out that men with such oily tones were also full of stories. β
Cheng Xunxun stopped, clasped his arms with both hands, hissed, looked her up and down, and said very seriously: "How do I feel that you are a match for Sun Jie? If you two are together, how much fun it is, just listening to the two of you talk, you can laugh for a day. β
"What are you talking about, he is your fiancΓ©, the so-called don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, I like to be calm and introverted, I don't like to talk, this is not my dish. Mi Lai said, poked her forehead, and went to greet the guests.
In the evening, Yu Xuejun also came, holding a large bouquet of flowers, and said with a smile: "It's good to open." β
Cheng Xunxun stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Dad." β
Yu Xuejun came, there were not many customers left in the store, Sun Jie inquired and immediately came down to greet him, and when Cheng Xunjun took him in, Sun Jie happened to come down from upstairs, which was considered to be a head-on encounter.
"Uncle, it's been a long time. Sun Jie greeted him with a smile on his face. Reached out at him.
Yu Xuejun has a certain understanding of Sun Jie's background, and he has seen everything about Cheng Xunxun in the past few days.
smiled and nodded, and said, "It's been a long time, but you're a noble person, and you're not such a nice person." β
"Uncle, what are you talking about, if you want to see me, you can say a word, no matter how busy I am, I will definitely find time to come and see you. As long as you want to see me. Sun Jie said with a smile, seeing that he was led to the table on the side.
A few people sat down, Sun Jie talked quite well, he has seen many characters over the years, so he is naturally good at this.
Cheng Xunxun rarely saw such a Sun Jie, and he was a little impressed by him. The image in front of her in the past was too slippery. Many times, Cheng Xunxun always forgets that this Sun Jie is also a big man.
Yu Xuejun was very happy to be coaxed by Sun Jie, Yu Xuejun still had something to do, this will just stop by to take a look, sat for about half an hour, then got up and said to Cheng Xunxun: "I have something to do, just leave first, call me if there is anything." β
Cheng Xunxun smiled and said: "Okay, go busy with peace of mind, I have everything here, besides, with Mi Lai's helper by my side, you don't need to worry." β
She leaned over and leaned into his ear and said, "Don't treat me like a child, okay?" I'm still very capable. β
Yu Xuejun smiled, patted the back of her hand, and said, "Okay, you can do it." I don't bother, I'm leaving. β
Sun Jie followed Cheng Xunxun's side, looking like a male host, and said, "I will stay here for a while, and when I have time, uncle, we will have a meal together." You must appreciate this face. β
"Okay, I'll ask my assistant to arrange it later, and I'll call you two when the time comes. He glanced at Sun Jie with a smile, and then glanced at Cheng Xunxun meaningfully, let go of his hand, and said, "Okay, you don't have to send it, I'll go." β
"Well, goodbye. Cheng Xunxun stood at the door, watched Yu Xuejun's car drive away, and glanced sideways to the other side.
"Still waiting for Chen Yujian?" Sun Jie put his hands behind his back and glanced at her with a smile.
Cheng Xunxun didn't hide it, nodded frankly, and said, "Yes, he said he would come, and it stands to reason that he should have arrived a long time ago." β
"Oh, he's going to come, he's going to come, and you're going to wait until he shows up?" he said, with a tone that sounded weird.
Cheng Xunxun glanced at him when he heard the voice, and said, "What do you say in a strange voice, even if I really marry you." The relationship between me and Chen Yujian will not change, and I treat him as family now. Why? You don't accept it? That's okay, then I won't marry you this marriage, I'm not the kind of person who values sex and neglects friends. β
As she spoke, she turned around and went into the store, and without waiting for Sun Jie to say anything, she took it and went into the bakery to make a call.
The phone didn't work, and they closed their doors in the middle of the year, and Chen Yujian didn't show up. In order to thank his friends, Cheng Xunxun specially invited a group of them to dinner.
Cheng Xunxun originally wanted Sun Jie to go back first, after all, he didn't know any of these people, and all of them were young people, most of them were foreigners, and they didn't think they would have any common language. I'm also afraid that he will be bored. But he refused, so he had to go with him, Cheng Xunxun had no choice, so he had to take him with him.
The people at this table are all playing well with Cheng Xunxun, most of them are men, and one or two are very enthusiastic about Cheng Xunxun. Sun Jie sat beside her, like a guard, guarding against this and that. That wine can't be drunk, and this wine can't be drunk.
The original lively atmosphere was just because he froze, even if Mi Lai played a round on the side, there was no way to save the current scene.
The private room suddenly fell silent, everyone was eating by themselves, and the smile on Cheng Xunxun's face couldn't be hung up.
She sat for a moment. secretly twisted Sun Jie's thigh, and after glancing at him fiercely, she excused herself to go to the toilet and went out of the private room, she waited at the door for a while, and Sun Jie had a little eyesight, so she immediately followed.
"You come with me. Cheng Xunxun walked straight to the elevator with his hands on his chest.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Xunxun had a cold face, took out the key from his pocket, stuffed it into his hand, and said, "You go back first." β
"The meal isn't over yet, why should I go back? β
"There are dumplings I made in the refrigerator at home, and you go back and cook them yourself. Cheng Xunxun didn't leave any room, raised his hand and pointed at his Qizi, and said word by word: "Sun Jie, don't say that we are not married now, even if we are married, you can't interfere with my right to make friends like this." β
"If that's the case, I don't think there's any need for us to get married, even if we get married now, we will get divorced in the end, and I don't want to have a third marriage at all. β
Sun Jiezai looked at her carefully, and realized that she was really angry, so he softened his tone and said, "Isn't I concerned about you, afraid that you will suffer......?"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Xunxun raised his head and glared at him fiercely, and Sun Jie immediately shut up and waved his hand. He said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back first, don't get too late, drink less, you know?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't let myself drink too much with you. With that, she turned around and walked away.
As soon as this Sun Jie left, the atmosphere slowly improved, and then everyone asked Cheng Xunxun who this Sun Jie was her.
Cheng Xunxun thought for a while and said, "FiancΓ©, if you are so strict with me, who else can you be besides your future husband." β
As soon as these words came out, some people blessed and some sighed, because of Sun Jie's mischief, Cheng Xunxun inevitably had to drink a few more glasses, but she didn't want to get drunk, so half of them wouldn't get drunk.
After a meal, it took nearly two hours to eat, and someone suggested going to the bar for another drink, but Cheng Xunxun politely refused, and Mi Lai did not follow. After sending the group away, the two called the driver to come and go home.
On the way back, Cheng Xunxun did not forget to call Chen Yujian, but no one answered after waiting for a while.
She couldn't help frowning.
"What's wrong? You seem to have been a little absent-minded today. β
Cheng Xunxun pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Well, Chen Yujian's phone has never been able to get through, I'm afraid something will happen." β
"He's so big, there's nothing going on. Even if something happens, the news will be the first to reach you. β
Cheng Xunxun turned his head to look at her, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything.
When the car was about to arrive at the door, Cheng Xunxun glanced out the window, "Stop." β
When the driver heard the sound, he reflexively stepped on the brakes, Cheng Xunxun immediately unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car immediately, looked at the people who were slowly coming not far away, breathed a sigh of relief, showed a smile, clasped his arms with both hands, tilted his head and watched Chen Yujian slowly approach.
"Why don't you always answer the phone?"
Chen Yu heard it briefly. Suddenly came back to his senses, stopped his steps, and when he looked up, he saw Cheng Xunxun standing in front of him, he was slightly stunned, and then he showed a smile, took a few steps forward, stood in front of her, and said, "Why are you here?"
"I just came back, and I happened to see you, so I waited for you here. β
"Sorry, it's late. I just went to the address you said and looked at it, and the store was very good, quite like that.
Cheng Xunxun ignored his words and asked, "Why don't you answer the phone?"
"Didn't notice, there's something urgent?"
Cheng Xunxun glanced at him a few times, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "It's okay, in fact, if you are busy, you don't have to rush over deliberately, I can understand it." But I hope you will come in the future, but you don't show up, and what's worse is that you don't even answer the phone, so I think something has happened. β
"I'm sorry. β
"I don't want to hear those three words, I've said it so many times that I'm tired of hearing it. Cheng Xunxun waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't stand, go back." β
She turned around as she spoke. After walking a few steps, he found that the person behind him hadn't followed, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, full of questions, "What are you doing?"
"I've got someone to book me a hotel, and I'm here to say a word to you, and give you the gifts I've prepared, and then I'll go back to the hotel. Chen Yujian said, took out a box from his pocket, walked in front of her, handed the box to her, and said, "Congratulations." β
Cheng Xunxun glanced at the box in his hand with low eyes, and frowned slightly, "What do you mean? Why do you want to stay in a hotel, there is your room here." β
"I've moved out. He raised his hand. He didn't put it down, and said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
"It's not convenient for me to live with you. β
"Sun Jie is here, what's inconvenient for you, such a big house, you are my good friend, what's wrong with coming back for one night? I didn't say anything, why are you doing this. β
Chen Yujian looked at her for a moment, and without waiting for her to reach out to take it, she directly stuffed the box into her pocket and said with a smile: "I'm leaving, I will go to the store tomorrow during the day to sit and taste your craftsmanship." β
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, Cheng Xunxun 'heyed', Chen Yujian didn't look back, nor did he stop, he just waved at her and said, "Go back and rest early." β
Cheng Xunxun wanted to go up and ask him if something had happened, but he didn't seem to be very good, Mi Lai quickly got out of the car when he saw this, grabbed her hand, and said, "Go back." β
For the last stretch of the road, the two of them walked back.
Mi Lai asked tentatively, "Do you really like Chen Yujian?"
"Like, but just like. It's probably a friend or above, and the state of a lover is not full. I guess my dad told him something. β
"Mr. Yu will do this, it must be for your own good. Mi Lai said.
Cheng Xunxun glanced at her and said with a smile: "I know, of course I know that he is for my good." Maybe I was really pitiful before, that's why my dad protected me like this. But ......" Cheng Xunxun paused, glanced at Mi Lai, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, anyway, we won't have many opportunities to meet in the future, you can be regarded as my father who came over to replace Chen Yujian." β
"Hey, Chen Yujian, is it okay to have me?" Mi Lai glanced at her, stretched out his hand to stop her shoulder, and said seriously: "Don't worry, although Mr. Yu is my boss, you are my friend." The boss and friends, I'm quite a friend. So promise me, you don't think of me as a babysitter. Okay?"
Cheng Xunxun sneered and said, "Do you know how important Chen Yujian is to me?"
"Oh, you're reminding me that I'm important, aren't you?"
As the two of them spoke, they laughed, and along the way, both of them talked and laughed.
Sun Jie estimated that he had been paying attention to the movement outside, and the two walked to the door, and the door in front of them opened, Sun Jie was wearing home clothes, his hair was wet, and said, "I finally know that I am back." β
When Cheng Xunxun saw him, he immediately put away his smile and glared at him. said, "I almost didn't want to come back." β
She punched him hard, walked straight in, and when she walked through the living room, she caught a glimpse of the box on the coffee table and turned around suddenly, probably because her movements were too sudden, and she happened to collide with Sun Jie.
"Did you turn over my stuff?"
"Isn't that garbage?" Sun Jie glanced in the direction she was pointing, shrugged his shoulders and said.
"That's right. Cheng Xunxun nodded, pulled the corners of his mouth without smiling, and said, "But I don't want anyone to flip either." β
"It's not something unsightly. Sun Jie frowned slightly, and whispered underestimated, "Could it be that you still have something you don't want me to see." β
The things in this box are indeed what she wants to throw away, there are not many things, basically they are all related to Zhou Yanqing. She cleaned it up when she was cleaning it before, and kept it under the bed, and when she went out in the morning, she took it down, and she was originally going to lose it, but she was in a hurry in the morning, and she forgot it.
She remembered that the box was placed at the entrance, but now that she had moved the position, she thought that Sun Jie had already looked at the contents carefully. This made her feel not particularly comfortable, today was supposed to be a happy day, but Cheng Xunxuan was not very happy.
She took a breath, endured the irritability in her heart, took the box, and said, "I'm tired, I'll go back to my room to rest." β
"Hey, your dad's assistant just called me, and we'll have dinner together in three days. I want to talk to him about our marriage when the time comes, do you have any opinions?"
Cheng Xunxun took a deep breath and said, "Okay." β
After she finished speaking, she went upstairs, entered the room, and threw the box in her hand directly on the ground, leaning against the door frame. Somehow, Sun Jie really talked about the marriage between them so actively, she was a little flustered, she had always wanted to get married, wanted to live another life, and really that kind of life was coming, and she actually resisted in her heart.
She exhaled and took out the box that Chen Yujian had given her from her pocket. When I opened it, there was only one diamond brooch with a unique design.
The brooch was worn on her chest, closest to her heart.
