Chapter 320: The First Encounter Before
Liancheng opened the door quickly, and when he saw that there was no person at the door, his already worried heart was even more suspended. He was thinking about going to the corridor to take a look, when suddenly a black shadow jumped from behind a huge potted plant, accompanied by a "wow", which even startled Liancheng.
When I got to Liancheng to recover my mind, I looked at it, wasn't the person in front of me that Xu Li. Xu Li's small head suddenly came to Liancheng's side, "Liancheng, Acheng, were you looking for me just now, are you worried about me?"
Liancheng was caught by Xu Li's heart, and turned his head a little unnaturally. "Miss Xu is afraid that she is thinking too much. I'm afraid that Miss Xu will follow her all the way, and now she is eavesdropping at the door.
What we are talking about inside is all about the internal affairs of the Sima family, and Miss Xu is like this outside, I am afraid that the important secrets about the Sima family will be leaked out, which will be detrimental to the Sima family. ”
Xu Li has been waiting for Liancheng outside for a long time, she is the eldest lady of the Xu family consortium, and she naturally will not do such a thing as eavesdropping on others.
Therefore, I can only stay at the door boringly, look at the scenery and see the murals to pass the time. Finally saw the door of the room open, Liancheng walked out from inside in a little panic, she happened to hide behind a potted plant that was one person high, jumped out to surprise him, but he didn't expect Liancheng to still speak coldly to her like this.
She is the eldest lady of the Xu family consortium, and he is just a housekeeper of the Sima family, she has been upside down again and again, and he has always turned a blind eye. "You!" Xu Li was so angry by Liancheng that she couldn't speak, so she could only point her finger at him, her eyes wide with anger.
Liancheng glanced at Xu Li, turned around and left, but in fact, the hanging heart was quietly put down.
Xu Li saw Liancheng turn around and leave, without any nostalgia at all, and her heart was full of pain. At that time, Liancheng was so good to her, and she was even obedient, I don't know why it turned out to be like this later.
Speaking of Liancheng and Xu Li's past, their acquaintance was still on Xu Li's 20th birthday. Xu Li was a famous eldest lady in their circle at that time. Although he is very beautiful, he has a straightforward personality, and he never leaves any affection for people when he talks and does things at a young age.
Liancheng is the housekeeper of the Sima family, originally Miss Xu's birthday banquet only invited the eldest son and the youngest son of the Sima family, and Liancheng was not on the list of invitees, but the two Sima Yu brothers insisted on letting Liancheng meet this hot beauty, so they took her with them.
Like all birthday parties, the room was full of people walking around in fine clothes with champagne, except for one girl, who was indeed wearing a casual denim dress, which seemed out of place with the style of the whole banquet.
Sima Yu whispered beside Liancheng: "See, the person who dresses most casually is the protagonist of today's banquet, Miss Xu Li." ”
How could I not see such a special person standing in the middle of a crowd of people, not very tall, with long black and beautiful hair scattered behind his back, and no more ornaments on his head. The face was only lightly put on for politeness, and it really couldn't be seen in such a light without looking closely.
Such a special scenery naturally attracts attention in such a banquet, not to mention that she is still the protagonist today.
The Sima family stepped forward to say hello, and Liancheng also greeted politely. Xu Li was not too surprised when she heard Liancheng's identity, and she didn't seem to resist Liancheng's uninvited behavior, so she turned around and left lightly.
This kind of banquet was already very boring, and Liancheng was reluctant to come over at first, but Sima Yu and the two brothers invited him warmly, and it was really difficult to be warm, and after the third tour of Liancheng, he was already bored and walked out.
Because Sima Yu and the others were still inside, he was embarrassed to leave alone, so he could only find a secluded corner in the garden outside the house and sit down to enjoy the beautiful moonscape tonight.
Just as I was relaxing, I heard the sound of squirping grass and footsteps. Years of training made Liancheng immediately concentrate, raised his vigilance, and looked at the direction from which the voice came from motionlessly, ready to stand up and attack at any time.
In the hazy moonlight, a piece of denim fabric suddenly emerged from that corner, and Liancheng frowned as he looked at the familiar cloth of clothes. Sure enough, after a while, a protagonist of today's banquet came out of that corner, Miss Xu Li. After Liancheng waited for a closer look at her face, he let down his defense.
Xu Li was also surprised after seeing Liancheng, and blurted out, "Who are you, you actually appeared here?" After speaking, she seemed to remember something, with a clear expression, "Oh, I remember." You are the housekeeper brought by the two brothers of the Sima family, I remember you. ”
Liancheng stood up and greeted Xu Li, "Miss Xu really has a good memory. ”
Xu Li pursed her lips, "What, isn't it fun to hold a banquet held by our family? Let you come to this place alone to wait and feed the mosquitoes." ”
Liancheng smiled and replied lightly, "Then Miss Xu dislikes that the banquet held by her family is not fun, so she is here?"
It was originally a slightly ridiculous and sarcastic remark, and I don't know if Xu Li pretended to be confused or didn't understand it at all, staring at her big innocent eyes and blinking and saying, "Yes, I just dislike the boring birthday party held by our family, so I slipped out."
I've long said that I'm going to do my own birthday party, and I'm going to invite whoever I want, but my dad won't allow me to do that. He said that I could hold a banquet I liked again according to my heart, and invite the people I wanted. But today's banquet must be run by him, and the guests must also be in his hands.
I can't help it, I'm so bored that I can only sneak out to breathe now. This is my secret place, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
Liancheng smiled, didn't say much, just sighed in his heart, this girl is really reckless. Drilling in the grass, dare to say anything, there is no girl at all to look like. Liancheng's smile seemed to win Xu Li's heart. She grabbed Liancheng's hand and led him away from the banquet hall. Liancheng was slightly puzzled, but he didn't break free of Xu Li's hand, "Where are you going to take me?"
Xu Li waved her hand and didn't even look back. "Don't worry, I won't take you out of the Xu family. All you have to do is follow me obediently, don't say anything, don't ask anything, and you'll know when you arrive. ”
Liancheng was like a child waiting for candy to eat, obediently following behind Xu Li.
Xu Li took Liancheng to a tall tower dressed in a small garden. Taking out the key from his pocket, he skillfully opened the door of the tower, and slowly climbed the stairs with Liancheng to the top floor. Xu Li took Liancheng's hand and came to the top of the tower, and there was a swing at the top.
Xu Li pulled Liancheng to sit down on the swing, and looked at the city where there were already thousands of lights, and the stars were even more beautiful than the stars in the sky. Liancheng half leaned on the swing and looked up at the sky, the sky at night was deep blue and deep, sitting on such a tall building and looking up, he felt that he could touch the sky with his hand.
Liancheng closed his eyes and felt the wind slowly pass by the side of his face, the temperature was just right.
"This is my family's library, which has a wide variety of ancient books in the city. As for me, I've been a person who doesn't like to read since I was a child, but I can't help it, I'm in a family like the Xu family. Ever since I was a child, my parents locked me in this library in order to let me read more of the classics.
But what's the solution, I just don't like reading if I don't like it. Over time, I found this treasure place, which is my secret base. Well, isn't this place very comfortable, I often sit here all day. ”
Liancheng listened to Xu Li's narration and couldn't help but want to laugh. This Xu Li is really different from him. This eldest lady of the Xu family is really not idle at all.
"This is indeed a very good place, I didn't expect that there would be such a piece of pure land in a place like the Xu family. ”
Xu Li turned her head and looked at Liancheng. The faint moonlight cast a slight shadow on his face, and his thin lips pursed tightly. People say that most people with thin lips are thin, I don't know if this person has a girlfriend?
was peeking at the room, but Liancheng suddenly opened his eyes, Xu Li peeked at Liancheng being arrested, a little embarrassed, and quickly turned around and sat down obediently, like a student who was punished by the teacher.
Xu Li turned to the side, still a little guilty in her heart, and explained here, "I, I saw that there seemed to be a worm on your face, and I was hesitant to tell you." ”
Liancheng couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at Xu Li's blushing face, but he still teased her patiently, "Oh, yes? ”
Xu Li nervously grabbed the hem of her clothes, and said stubbornly, "It's gone, it's gone, it's already flying away." It's a flying bug that flies away when you open your eyes. ”
Liancheng couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed out loud. Xu Li heard Liancheng's laughter and knew that his trick had been discovered by him, and he was immediately annoyed and angry. "Alright, it's not too early, and the banquet is almost over. Let's go back. After speaking, he got up one step ahead of Liancheng and walked quickly downstairs.
The master's family is gone, and there is no reason for him to stay any longer. Liancheng also got up and followed Xu Li out.
Later, the two of them returned to the banquet hall, and the banquet was nearing its end. Sima Yu was sharp-eyed and found that Liancheng came back with Xu Li, and inevitably joked about it, but Liancheng quietly blocked back. Liancheng stood under the stage, looking at Xu Li, whose face was still slightly red when she spoke on stage, and the corners of her mouth slowly pulled up a subtle smile.
