Rushing to the hall from the fourth floor, Zhang Ruoyuan saw at a glance sitting on the sofa next to Mei Xin and Zhen Guo, biting the straw and being bored, stirring the half-melted cranberry milk ice in his hand, while looking left and right at Jiang Juan, who was looking around.

Zhang Ruoyuan trotted all the way over, quickly sat down beside her, and called in a low voice: "Wanwan." ”

"Oh my God, where the hell have you been? Why haven't you answered a dozen phone calls? If you're really scared to death, I'm afraid you'll have some accident. ”

Jiang Juan turned around in fright, and saw that Zhang Ruoyuan, who was intact, finally fell back to his throat safely. Immediately grasped her hand firmly, looked at it carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Ruoyuan then remembered that there was also such a thing as a universal contact artifact. I hurriedly took out my phone from my bag, and after unlocking it, more than a dozen call prompts immediately popped up. She bit her lip, guilty.

"I'm sorry, I just met an acquaintance and went over to say hi to her. I didn't have time to tell you first. The phone was silent last night, and I forgot to turn it over, and I will never do it again. ”

Jiang Juan only cares about her safety, although the blue sky and day are under her own territory, but recently, there have been more and more unexpected emergencies, which makes people unguardable. Now that Zhang Ruo wishes to be safe, there is naturally nothing to worry about. She soon had a sunny day after the rain and discussed where to go later.

Towards noon, the signature delicacies of the Nut Club are displayed on the table one by one. Charcoal charred fruit duck, honey and white vinegar baked foie gras. Use old red wine and pears to boil the tender chicken breast with the juice. Medium-rare Argentine veal served with mixed vegetables in a secret bisque. Both the taste and the color are very tempting and delicious. Even the last dish of taro ball soup can be seen to have put a lot of thought into it.

The four of them sat around and didn't have too much politeness, just quietly picked up the knife and fork, savored and chewed. The apparently silent atmosphere contrasted sharply with the lively scene that Fang had just experienced.

Zhang Ruoyuan didn't feel uncomfortable, and when she was full, Wanwan on the side quietly pulled her skirt under the table, lowered her voice, and spoke in a decibel that only two people could hear.

"Aunt Zhen's personality has always been like this, and it was the same when I first met her. Later, we met more and gradually got acquainted. Not against you, you don't mind. ”

Jiang Juan quietly explained that if it was her best friend, Aunt Zhen would also be an elder she admired. She naturally didn't want the two to meet for the first time and cause any estrangement.

Zhang Ruoyuan shook his head and said thoughtfully: "No, in fact, I appreciate such a character." ”

Do it spontaneously, love and hate clearly. People who like it, cherish each other. The disgusting person, who scoffs at it, never forces himself to submit to others. Although it is easy to offend people with such a true temperament, for oneself, he has a clear conscience and lives a thorough and free life.

In life, there are very few people who can live without sticking to the eyes of others, how can she not appreciate it?

After lunch, after resting for a cup of tea, Jiang Juan was eager to try to go to the International Trade Center. After the episode just now, Zhang Ruoyuan originally meant Yan Shan, but seeing that Wanwan was very elated, she couldn't bear to splash her cold water, so she nodded in response.

My sister's matter is not something that can be thought of for a moment. Instead of closing yourself off in your troubles and being mediocre. It's better to accompany Wanwan for a crazy afternoon. Go out for a ride and soothe the chaos, and maybe you'll get something different.

The largest China World Mall in Province B is built in the center of the street no more than 200 meters away from the Dijing Community, and is divided into nine floors according to the performance of goods. The two of them took the elevator up and started the carpet-like sweeping mode from the top floor down to the bottom floor.

Zhang Ruoyuan is the first time to come to this kind of place, and it feels very novel. There are so many things here, one floor can be worth the tricks of an ancient street. Just when she was dizzying, Jiang Juan aimed at an indigo sleeveless dress every minute, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she walked over with Zhang Ruoyuan, ready to try it on.

At this time, a pair of men and women dressed in fashionable clothes walked up to each other and broke straight into the field of vision of the two. Before Zhang Ruoyuan could take a closer look, one of the men had already taken the lead and grabbed her wrist, his voice full of surprise.

"Little wish, so you're here!"

Zhang Ruoyuan raised his head, and the sight was a handsome male face, with outstanding appearance, and a sense of familiarity in the strangeness. However, this tone made her judge that the person in front of her was Wei Mingzhang, who kept harassing her last night.

Zhang Ruoyuan subconsciously frowned, and didn't want to pull his wrist out of Wei Mingzhang's hand. He took a step back and turned to leave, but was blocked by the other party again.

Wei Mingzhang saw that Zhang Ruoyuan's face was displeased, and then he remembered that he was still following Zhang Ruohan by his side, thinking that she had misunderstood something. Immediately shook off the hand that was tightly clasped on his arm, and hurriedly explained.

"I called you all night yesterday and no one answered. I went to look for you at noon today, and you were not there. Ruohan said that you may be in the International Trade Center, and we will come over together. ”

Jiang Juan glanced at those large and small shopping bags, Zhang Ruohan couldn't hold his hands anymore, should they come over together to find someone or go shopping? This kind of reason that can be debunked at a glance is used to deceive ghosts.

In fact, Zhang Ruoyuan didn't care about what was going on at all, and she didn't care about the truth of Wei Mingzhang's words, she calmly turned her head and continued the conversation with Jiang Xuan.

"That one is really pretty, and the one on its left is good, let's give it a try?"

Without waiting for Jiang Juan to nod, Wei Mingzhang interjected again: "Xiao Yuan, I'm really just here to help, and I don't have any ambiguous relationship with Ruohan, don't be angry, okay?"

The helplessness and pleading in his tone, as well as the pampering and nervousness on his face, are simply standard boyfriend coaxing people to admit their mistakes.

Seeing that there were already passers-by around who were vaguely concentrating, Zhang Ruoyuan didn't want to be the focus of public opinion, so he couldn't bear to speak: "Why should I be angry?"

Her voice was calm and indifferent, without the slightest emotion, and she looked at him exactly like a passer-by meeting him for the first time.

"I don't know where you got your confidence to be so stubborn about our extraordinary relationship.

But in my mind, you're not even an ordinary friend. Do you care about a stranger, whether he is good or not, whether he is in love or not?"

Looking at Wei Mingzhang's face, Zhang Ruo was willing to simply say what he needed to say at once, and he couldn't let this person be inexplicable and ruin her reputation.

"I hope you don't say this casually in the future, it's easy for others to misunderstand.

For you, it may not matter, but for me, it really caused a lot of inconvenience and trouble. ”

Wei Mingzhang was stunned to listen to Zhang Ruo's words, and every word seemed to be thunder striking his heart, shaking him for a long time, and he couldn't speak anymore.

Zhang Ruohan next to her has been at odds with Zhang Ruoyuan since she was a child, and when the person she likes does not hesitate to draw a line with herself when she touches her, that kind of resentment and injustice is like a raging flame, completely burning away what little reason remains.

"Zhang Ruoyuan, don't think that Brother Ming Zhang likes you, you can wantonly trample on his feelings, what do you have to be arrogant?

Arrogant? Wanton trampling? Did she do anything hurtful to nature and reason? She just truthfully stated her attitude, and even chose a very gentle way of wording, trying not to hurt the self-esteem of others. Could it be that rejecting the pursuit of a man who is not tempted has become arrogant? If so, Zhang Ruoyuan can only say hehe.

As a bystander, Jiang Juan didn't want to interfere in his friend's private affairs. I really can't stand it here, so I stand up for Zhang Ruo and come forward.

"You have to pretend to be moderate, if you reject Wei Mingzhang, aren't you more proud than anyone else?

I don't know how happy I am, but I still have to fight with righteous words here, what kind of thing are you?

I used to think that your brain was not bright, why is it now full of green tea smell, strong smoke. ”

Zhang Ruohan was dumbfounded, so he didn't say a word and was unwilling, so he changed people and continued to choke.

"Zhang Ruoyuan, what kind of ability is hiding behind others? If you don't have a weak heart, you can say something!"

Zhang Ruoyuan glanced at the smug Zhang Ruohan and smiled slightly, with a cool irony.

"I didn't open my mouth because we both have the surname Zhang, and we are all members of the Zhang family. I can't do this kind of thing, it's not that I'm afraid of you, I hope you can understand this.

When you are aggressive, you seem to have the upper hand, but in fact, it is the face of the Zhang family that is lost. ”

After speaking, he didn't want to waste his tongue anymore, so he directly pulled Jiang Wanjing past them and walked into the distance. In vain, Wei Mingzhang and Zhang Ruohan stood in place, their faces as pale as dirt.

"Are you alright?"

Sure that the two would not catch up again, Jiang Juan said with concern.

"Of course it's fine. ”

After so many years, she still doesn't know that all Zhang Ruohan's hostility and-for-tat against her stems from the fact that she has a jealous mother.

Among the three daughters-in-law of the Zhang family, the mother Shen is the daughter of the Fuguo Mansion, and she has a hard background and has been pampered since she was a child. Wei's family is from the Chengyang Hou Mansion, although his background is not as good as the Shen family, he has also been clothed and fed since he was a child.

Among the three daughters-in-law, Cui Qin is from Jian'anbo's mansion, Jian'anbo is romantic, there are nine daughters alone, she ranks fifth, she does not occupy the eldest or youngest, has not been valued for a long time, and has deep grievances. When it came to the Zhang family, there were still shortcomings in the comparison, and this blind comparison made her lose her heart and become more and more cunning.

Zhang Ruohan also became shallow-eyed under Cui Qin's ears and eyes, and he was angry at every turn.

This kind of person who doesn't think about what he should grasp, blindly blames all the faults on others, and lives with jealousy and hatred. Hatred torments their minds all the time, and it is already the best punishment for them.

Why bother with those who will eventually be cocooned and bound to their brains?

"I'll try. ”

Jiang Juan asked the waiter to take off the dress in the photo just now and entered the fitting room. About two minutes later, I pushed the door and walked out, and suddenly my eyes lit up.

Rao has seen a lot of customers with good image and good temperament, and the waiter has to admit that only this one wears this finch feather dress to show its true taste.

The white and tender skin sets off the blue of the dress, a sapphire in the lake. The high waist line is smooth and retro, and the blue indigo color of the skirt part gradually transitions into color, like a piece of peacock feathers, which is dreamy and beautiful.

The waiter couldn't help but praise sincerely: "This dress is almost tailor-made for you!"

"Thank you. Jiang Wan's lips hooked slightly, turned to look at Zhang Ruoyuan, and silently asked her opinion.

Zhang Ruoyuan made a thumbs-up gesture with each hand, and praised without hesitation: "Great, beautiful like a peacock." ”

Jiang Juan was stroking the lace of her skirt in front of the mirror, and when she heard such a unique and beautiful word, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, pretending to be displeased and teasing her: "Is this saying that I am arrogant and self-controlled?"

"But the peacock does have enough capital to be proud of!" Zhang Ruoyuan put the crystal accessories with the peacock pattern hanging on the side to Jiang Juan, looked at the elegant and charming woman in the mirror, and raised his lips playfully.

The peacock may be seen by others as an animal with a strong sense of irony, but in her eyes, it is an unmistakable beauty.

Jiang Juan looked in the mirror again and again, hesitating: "Why do you feel a little bloated after wearing it?"

"Ah, yes?" Zhang Ruoyuan glanced at the friend who was trying to pick out the bones in the egg, and glanced at her well-developed place, and teased: "Are you showing off your big breasts in disguise?"

Hearing this, Jiang Juan was stunned at first, and when she reacted, she smiled and nodded the tip of her nose: "Ruoruo, why have you become improper?"

Zhang Ruoyuan tilted his head, thought about it quite seriously, and nodded decently.

"Hmm, this should be a gathering of likes, right?"

"Okay, you're going around the corner and coming back, see how I clean you up!"

While the two were frolicking, the luxury counter welcomed two more young guests. Among them is a little girl wearing a pink puffy skirt and about * years old. There are two ball heads, respectively with peach-shaped rhinestone hairpins, which are full of style.

"Show me all your fancy clothes here. ”

After observing them one by one, she wrinkled her caterpillar-like eyebrows in disgust, and the little old woman muttered to her brother beside her: "These clothes are so ugly, none of them can catch the eye." ”

Although it was a mutter, the little girl's unrestrained voice was tantamount to a megaphone, so that everyone present could hear it clearly. For a while, several waiters were red-faced.

"These are the latest models of the season, if you are not satisfied, you can go to the frontier and Elaya next to it. ”

Although the little girl is young and full of style, she obviously doesn't buy it, and looks up to Xu Yan next to her to support her.

"Brother, look at their service attitude, I'm going to report them. ”

The two contradictory traits of innocence and immaturity are fused together, from the mouth of a child who is not yet ten years old. The waiters looked at each other and remained silent.

They are not the first day of work in the International Trade Center, so they have naturally seen all kinds of difficult guests, and there is naturally no shortage of spoiled children from such rich families in front of them. To deal with this situation, the specific way to do it depends on the intention of the adults around her, whether to stop it or let it go.

"Didn't Miao Miao just think that my brother had less time to accompany you? I finally squeezed out these two hours, and it was a waste of time to report. ”

Obviously, Xu Yan is full of experience in dealing with this child's nonsense, and he successfully dispelled Xu Miao's persistence in one sentence.

"Yes, then let's continue to visit other houses! After watching for another five minutes, if you can't find something you like, my brother will buy all the clothes, let's go home and pick them slowly, okay?"

"Hmm. ”

Xu Yan nodded perfunctorily, the corners of his drooping eyes were just right, hiding the slight impatience under his eyes.

His left hand was held by Xu Miao like a bully, and he put his right hand in his pocket and casually scanned the surroundings. As if sensing something, Xu Yan's eyes were fixed in one place, meeting Jiang Wan's gaze. Suddenly, a light similar to amazement flashed from his eyes.

He couldn't resist the urge to walk in, pulled out his hand from Xu Miao, and walked straight towards her. All the surging emotions are condensed into two simple words.

"What a coincidence. ”

"It's a coincidence. ”

Jiang Juan didn't want to say more, and nodded his head to say hello. He turned his face to the side and nodded to the waiter who had been waiting for a long time: "I want this, help me pack it." ”

After speaking, he was about to go to the fitting room to change his clothes, and at this time, Xu Miao, who ran behind him, suddenly tugged on Xu Yan's trouser belt, pointed to the one on Jiang Juan's body, and his eyes lit up.

"Brother, this one is so beautiful, I want it!"

No consultation, no request, direct dictatorship declared, she wanted.

It seemed that Xu Yan had already seen this situation, he lowered his head and looked at Xu Miao, smiling generously and gently.

"But my sister has already bought that dress, and my brother will take you to see other clothes, better clothes. ”

"No, she clearly hasn't paid yet, and the clothes aren't hers, why can't I buy them?

I just like this one, I can't look at anything else. And I've been walking for a long time, and my feet hurt so much, I don't want to go any further.

I don't care, brother, you let her take it off and buy it for me. ”

A sneer crossed Xu Yan's handsome face, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. He touched Xu Miao's head, looking very patient, completely looking like a good Chinese brother, and said slowly.

"Miaomiao, this dress is the first thing others see, we can't rob other people's things.

And you're still too young to wear clothes of this size, so my brother promised you that I would buy you a more beautiful dress and dress you up as a beloved little princess, okay?"

Xu Miao's raised little face was full of doubts and puzzlement: "But my mother said that as long as Miaomiao likes it, she can grab anything?"
