Lin Qin had only met that woman once, and she had been secretly observing that woman since Jian Xiang took her into the door, her demeanor was elegant and dignified, generous and decent, lining her like a vulgar girl running from the countryside, she brushed off the corners of her wrinkled clothes, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

Glancing at Jian Xiang, the dislike and defensiveness of that woman in the man's eyes was so obvious that she breathed a sigh of relief. I lowered my eyes and looked at my bulging belly again, and in an instant my waist straightened up a lot.

Later, when I heard that the woman committed suicide by jumping off the bridge, thinking of this, looking up at Jian Xin, who looked more and more like that woman, Lin Qin couldn't help but smile, a scholarly family, what about everyone's ladies, she will be the one who laughs last.

"Jian Xin, you're here. Lin Qin greeted Jian Xin warmly, but if you look closely, you will find that the enthusiasm in her eyes is like the ice surface in early winter, just a thin layer.

"Aunt Lin. "After hearing this call, it seems that the thin ice surface has cracked... Feeling the gaze and curious gaze around him, Lin Qin greeted Jian more and more warmly,

"Our family Jian Xin is so beautiful today," gently touched Jian Xin's head. At this time, someone came forward curiously,

"Mrs. Jane, what is this?" asked a richly dressed and well-groomed woman. She got today's invitation card through several layers of relationships, so she must find an opportunity to chat with Lin Qin. She has just come to City B, and she is eager to open up her social circle in City B through this party, so much so that she ignores the expressions of the people around her who are watching the show...

The hand that touched Jane's heart stiffly retracted, Lin Qin stroked the shiny emerald diamond ring on his finger, lowered his eyes and asked indifferently, "Are you?"

"Mrs. Jane, this is Mrs. Xiang who just moved to City B," Mrs. Chen, who brought her here, regretted it, this Mrs. Xiang was too eyeless to see, and she offended people as soon as she came. "Their family's Xiang is the Xiang family's import and export trade that has come in and done a good job in C City. ”

Glancing at Xiang Tai, they are all human spirits, how can they not understand, Xiang Tai hurriedly remedied, "When I first came to Guibaodi, I had already heard of Mrs. Jane's name, and I wanted to get to know him. Tsukashi said with a smirk.

"Ah, it turns out that you are Mrs. Xiang, welcome welcome~~" As if his face changed, he immediately became warm, and took each other's hands closely, "Don't see each other today, we must make an appointment for tea another day." "It looks like we hate to see each other late.

Jian Xin looked at the adult in front of her, and felt that it was indeed much more advanced than Ma Lei's play, and it seemed that Ma Lei had to make persistent efforts.

Lin Qin is like this, naturally no one cares about Jian Xin's existence anymore, and Jian Xin is also at ease, quietly went up to the second floor to a room in the corner, opened the door, and a musty smell that has been uninhabited all year round came to her nose.

She gently opened the curtains, and there were many decorations in the courtyard downstairs, and the courtyard wall was full of pink balloons, which were dotted with shiny LED strings, which looked particularly dreamy against the backdrop of the night.

There is a special person in charge of barbecue in the yard, a shuttle back and forth responsible for serving drinks, and a 1-person high chocolate waterfall... It seems that Lin Qin really loves this daughter, and everything is arranged with great care and luxury.

Leaving the window, by the moonlight, Jian Xin looked at her room, a bed, a dresser, and a wardrobe against the wall, nothing more.

Open the drawer of the dresser and see it empty, and the same goes for opening the closet. The things that Jian Xin didn't have time to take away when she moved back then are gone, and there are even some things that Jane's mother has in them.

There was really no trace of her and Jane's mother in this house, and she smiled indifferently.

Downstairs, there were everyone's cheers and a happy birthday song, it should be Jian Jiao's appearance. After thinking about it, Jian Xin still closed the door and went downstairs.

In the palatial living room, adults and children are surrounded by a three-meter-long crystal chandelier, and it seems that Jian Jiao should be in the middle. Thinking that he might not be able to squeeze in, he grabbed a small handbag and found a corner outside the crowd to drink juice.

Suddenly, the crystal chandelier that showed the importance and status went out, of course, the next thing was a waiter pushing a 5-layer cake to enter, accompanied by the parents of the Jane family, and everyone sang "I wish you a happy birthday...", after the little birthday star blew out the candles, everyone applauded and sent a congratulatory message.....

Hey, it's a birthday that must be a cliché.

Father Jian may also think so, so he did something different today, he stood on a temporary small stage, nearly forty years old but still tall, maintained very properly, and could still vaguely see the handsome appearance of his youth.

I saw him pick up the microphone and say in a low and magnetic voice,

"First of all, everyone is welcome to come to the little girl's birthday party today, and please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality. ”

Jian Jiao looked up at her mother beside her with sparkling eyes, full of questions. Lin Qin smiled at her daughter and helped her straighten the bangs on her forehead, and the doting in her eyes seemed to tell her daughter to rest assured and not be impatient. Jian Jiao saw the words, and also looked at her father in the middle of the stage with peace of mind.

"Everyone also knows that Jiaojiao also has an older sister," the mother and daughter's hands clenched in unison, but they still continued to smile, as if they had already known Jian Xiang's arrangement. Continue to listen to Jian Xiang's speech,

"I'm usually obsessed with learning, and I rarely appear in front of everyone. In order to keep her at the top of the school, even I, the father, rarely get an appointment with her. The simple and direct self-deprecation caused a burst of laughter from the crowd. Everyone understands business and mutual praise.

"Let's let my sister go on stage first," after speaking, he looked at the direction where Jian Xin was hidden, and the crowd naturally gave way to an aisle, only to see a cardamom girl walking out of the shadows, her natural beauty looked graceful and graceful under the support of the sky blue dress, just like a princess in a fairy tale... I was born like this at a young age, but how can I get it when I grow up?

Everyone glanced at Jian Xiang, he was really blessed.

Looking at everyone's envy and approving eyes, Jian Jiao felt that she couldn't understand why the protagonist of her birthday party had become Jian Xin. For a while, grievances, jealousy, and resentment were all filled in the eyes of this little girl who had just turned 10 years old...

Lin Qin still had a relieved and smiling expression, and put one hand on her daughter's shoulder seemingly indifferently, and patted it: Put away your expression, there is a mother.

The two of them calmly watched Jian Xin step by step onto the stage, and Jian Xiang enthusiastically stepped forward to take her hand, "Today, my sister not only took the time to celebrate my sister's birthday, but also prepared a mysterious gift for my sister." After speaking, he glanced at the staff next to him.

Jian Xin's attention at the moment was on the small bag in her hand, so many people watched, she was a little nervous... Just as I was about to pick up my handbag, a staff member came up next to me, wearing white gloves and holding a black velvet box, which I knew was expensive at a glance.

As smart as she was, how could Jian Xin not understand what was going on at the moment, bit her lip, and lowered her hand. resisted the urge of hot eyes, turned his head and continued to enjoy the drama directed and acted by Jian Xiang.

This is a necklace that my sister specially found from Europe to supply jewelry to the royal family, and named it Tianjiao. ”

The staff cautiously opened the box, only to hear the audience exclaim, only to see a brilliant diamond necklace lying on the black velvet, not only the entire necklace is inlaid with dazzling diamonds, the most special and highlight the expensive luxury is the necklace in the center of a crystal clear pink diamond pendant, like the stars and the moon, the name Tianjiao is really appropriate.

The reaction of everyone was expected, but the curvature of the corners of Jian Xiang's mouth still rose a lot unconsciously,

"Then ask the staff to put it on Jiaojiao. ”

Jian Jiao swept away the previous haze, and when she saw the envious eyes of everyone, she felt that Jian Xin's appearance was not so dazzling.

I happily walked into the crowd and received everyone's blessings and praises. Of course, a group of people will not miss this opportunity, the wives surrounded Lin Qin and hugged her thighs, and the men chatted with Jian Xiang.

In short, there is nothing to do with Jane's heart. She consciously got off the stage and wanted to leave, but she lowered her head and pinched the pendant box in her handbag, and felt that she had no expectations for this family, but she still wanted to give it to Jian Jiao herself. Looking at Jian Jiao, who was really like the stars and the moon at the moment, Jian Xin went up to the second floor and returned to her room, thinking that she would find a chance to give Jian Jiao when there were fewer people.

Today is really a toss, lying in bed wondering what my friends are doing, only to open the handbag only to find that I didn't have a mobile phone at all...

Looking at the ceiling blankly, remembering that this house was just the year his mother died, so Jian Xiang couldn't wait to change the big house and take Lin Qin. At that time, she was almost 6 years old, and she knew the things in the adult world in a daze, and she didn't dare to cry, but the next day she often found that the pillow was wet, and Sister-in-law Chen also looked at her pitifully, and sometimes told her stories to put her to sleep, at that time she was also so godless looking at the ceiling, and in a trance she would think that her mother was telling her a story...

As her vision blurred, she rubbed the corners of her eyes and wiped the moisture from her eyes.

I don't know how long I've been lying down, but anyway, listening to the noise downstairs is much quieter, and the banquet is almost going on. Jian Xin got up and patted the somewhat wrinkled skirt, and went out to find Jian Jiao.

When passing by the study, I heard Jian Jiao's coquettish voice from inside: "I won't." ”

Jian Jiao found that the door of the study was not closed tightly, and when she was about to push the door in, she heard Lin Qin say,

"Jiaojiao, obedient, don't take off this necklace for the time being, can you wear it until the end of the banquet? If you don't wear such a beautiful necklace, others will gossip. ”

It turned out that Lin Qin was also there, and when he was hesitating whether to go in, the conversation inside continued.

"But Mom, when I think of it being chosen by Jane, I don't want it to be beautiful... Mom, did you think she really bought it?"

"Silly girl, how is that possible. That necklace was picked up for you by your father, but in the name of Jian Xin's dead girl... I didn't want to tell you this, forget it, you should know when you grow up. Lin Qin paused, and then said, "Recently, some of Dad's competitors have claimed that your father forced that girl's mother to death and abused her daughter. You know how much your dad loves face, of course this time I want to take the opportunity to prove that I will slap those people in the face. So my good daughter, you can wear your birthday present with peace of mind. Lin Qin helped Jian Jiao fiddle with the pink diamond.

"That..."Jian Jiao said with a little milky voice, "Then did you say that tonight's clothes were also prepared for her by Daddy?

"Love?" Lin Qin pouted without even noticing himself, "Your father's favorite thing should be his own face... Haha, of course, there is her baby Jiaojiao~" patted Jian Jiao's shoulder and said with a doting face.

"Alright, it's time to go downstairs too. Remember that the more you smile with the necklace, the more your dad will like you. As for the others, it's just a tool. Don't think about it, let's go, let's go downstairs. With that, he pulled Jian Jiao downstairs.

…

The hallway and Jane's room are empty...

Just left a jewelry box and a birthday card on the bed, which read: Jiaojiao, happy birthday!

"Miss, are you going back?" Jian Xin stopped to see that it was the driver who came to pick her up in the afternoon, she originally wanted to sneak away from the garage, after all, it was too conspicuous to walk through the main entrance. "I can send you back. ”

Jian Xin wanted to say no, but looked at the empty handbag, she only brought a gift when she went out today, she had no money on her, not even a mobile phone, if she walked home directly, her feet might be scrapped...

After thinking about it, he got into the car very spinelessly, and smiled, "That... Good. Trouble. ”

The driver's face was slightly red, and he said, "You're welcome, Miss." With that, he started the car and drove out of the garage.

The driver would look at her from the rearview mirror from time to time, and found that she was sitting in the back seat so quietly, without saying a word, her empty eyes were full of indifference and loneliness, like a rag doll without a soul...

"Toot toot... The ringing of the car phone broke the silence in the car, and Jian Xin's eyes flickered.

The driver looked at her embarrassedly through the rearview mirror, and hurriedly turned on the Bluetooth headset to connect the phone, and it turned out to be Lin Qin on the other end of the phone, "Madam...... Now I'm sending the eldest lady home. ”

"Yes, but not yet... Are the guests in a hurry?"

"About 15 minutes to go... I'll do it as soon as possible... Sorry, it was my mistake..."

Listening to the driver's respectful voice and the embarrassed look in the rearview mirror, Jian Xin probably knew what Lin Qin meant.

I didn't want to embarrass honest people, Jian Xin said calmly,

"Mr. Driver, I'm just going to buy something around here, so you can drop me off here. ”

Jian Xin's words made the driver relieved and parked the car on the side of the road.

Jian Xin got out of the car, politely thanked the driver, and walked in the direction of her small apartment.

It was unusually hot tonight, and the old people who were sitting outside enjoying the cool were hurrying home, muttering that it was going to rain and that they should go home quickly.

Sure enough, in an instant, a gust of wind hit, and even rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground to play Tai Chi. Then it rained down.

The sleeves are wet, and the shadow is thin.

It's better to get a little rain and wake up... But the heat flow under the eyes that was about to be uncontrollable kept rushing upward.

Jian Xin told herself, hold back, at least endure going home! Unconsciously you have to go faster,

But this damn rain always blurs her eyes...
