Chapter 152 Disappointment
Jiang Luo walked to the door of the hotel, glanced at the jubilant lobby, and was too lazy to go in again, so he simply sent a text message to Xie Donglai to explain his whereabouts.
Before attending the wedding banquet, he had already chosen the shopping mall he wanted to visit, and it happened that the shopping mall was near the hotel, a three- or four-minute walk away.
After Jiang Luo arrived at the mall, he walked directly to the men's clothing area, and received a lot of strange eyes along the way.
This dress is not cheap, but there is a big hole in the vest, and the shorts are also dyed with a few black marks, and it is no wonder that the drivers of the military and government organs do not like to deal with him.
The men's clothing area is relatively deserted, and the only few customers are white-collar elites in suits and leather shoes, all of whom cast disdainful glances at Jiang Luo without exception.
Jiang Luo didn't care about other people's opinions, and asked, "Are there any clothes in the middle price range?"
The salesperson was a little surprised, he didn't expect the refugees to be able to afford mid-range clothes, but he still politely said, "Yes, please come with me." β
Under her guidance, Jiang Luo walked to several counters, and it didn't take long to choose clothes, change into one of the more decent clothes, pay the bill and leave.
After buying clothes, he began to wander aimlessly around the mall, buying some Pu'er tea and Suzhou embroidered sachets.
When he walked to the household appliances, the mobile phone woke up, and when he clicked on it, it was Xie Donglai's phone.
"Instructor Xie, I'm in the mall, I'll be back soon. β
Xie Donglai snorted wine and said: "Jiang Luo, you are really an anxious person, we haven't finished eating, you are gone, my old friend wants to see you, come back quickly." β
"Okay, I'll go back", Jiang Luo hung up the phone, took the items he bought from the locker, and ran back to the hotel with four or five bags.
Most of the guests had finished eating and gathered together to chat, but Xie Donglai and Driver Huang stood at the door of the hotel, holding a toothpick and picking their teeth, without caring about their image.
Jiang Luo secretly felt funny when he saw him so raunchy, but his face didn't show any surprise.
Xie Donglai instructed: "You give the things to Lao Huang and follow me to the third floor." β
Jiang Luo nodded and handed the thing to the driver, "Brother Huang, I'm sorry for you." β
The driver smiled and put things in the trunk.
Xie Donglai took Jiang Luo to room 302, rang the doorbell, and after a while, a young man in black opened the door and respectfully invited them in.
As soon as they entered the house, the old man who was originally sitting on the sofa hurriedly stood up and greeted each other with a smile, "Jiang Luo Xiaoyou, long time no see." β
Jiang Luo was suddenly shocked, this old guy was Qi Ruyu's grandfather Qi Zhengming, I don't know what medicine he sells in his gourd, he has to meet his former grandson-in-law at his granddaughter's wedding.
"Old Mr. Qi, hello", Jiang Luo quickly calmed down and greeted with a smile.
Xie Donglai didn't see anything outside, sat directly on the sofa, grabbed an apple casually, and said with a smile: "Since you are very familiar, I won't mix, what should we talk about, just be air." β
Jiang Luo glanced at Xie Donglai, and couldn't guess why he brought himself to this wedding banquet, if it was just to watch the excitement, there was no need to be so troublesome.
Qi Zhengming glanced at the young man in black and said, "The guests are here, and you still don't want to see the tea?"
The young man in black bowed, and hurriedly stepped aside to make tea and pour water.
"Jiang Luo Xiaoyou, I really didn't expect you to be willing to participate in Xiaoyu's wedding, Xiaoyu has always been willful, please forgive me", Qi Zhengming smiled at Jiang Luo with half-squinted eyes.
Jiang Luo remained silent, wanting to hear his intentions.
"Xiaoyu and Xiyao are childhood sweethearts, and now they ...... In short, she is sorry for you, I feel ashamed, and I hope to make it up to you. β
Jiang Luo would not be naΓ―ve to think that the Qi family was so kind, he didn't smile, and said: "Mr. Qi, you are serious, although Qi Ruyu and I are talking about marriage, we haven't even talked about it, and now that she has found the person she likes, I don't have any position to hold on to her." β
After hearing this, Qi Zhengming felt a fire in his belly, and his old face immediately turned green, Jiang Luo's words were very generous on the surface, but in fact, they reflected Qi Ruyu's contempt and disdain for Qi Ruyu.
Xie Donglai took a bite of the apple, chuckled twice, and said, "Old Qi, now young people can afford to put it down when they fall in love, you don't have to worry about Jiang Luo not thinking about it." β
Qi Zhengming's face slowed down slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "To be honest, I really appreciate you and want to recruit you as my grandson-in-law, it doesn't matter if Xiaoyu doesn't want to, I also have a granddaughter, maybe you can get along with her." β
Jiang Luo scratched his head and asked, "Are you talking about Qi Ruxue?"
Qi Zhengming nodded, "Yes, she just told me that she has a good impression of you." β
"Mr. Qi, thank you for your kindness, but I already have a girlfriend, and frankly, Qi Ruxue is not my type", Jiang Luo refused.
Qi Zhengming's face was gloomy, "Your current girlfriend is just a small family jasper, and it is very different from my granddaughter, and it is not good for your Jiang family, marrying a wife is a major event in life, you had better not make a hasty decision." β
Jiang Luo frowned, his eyes lit up, and he said angrily: "My girlfriend is not yet your turn to be judged by an outsider, today I see that you are too old to care, and if you dare to say this again in the future, you will not blame me for being polite." β
"Smack!"
With a flick of his hand, he smashed the celadon teacup on the coffee table, and the tender green tea leaves spilled hot on the sofa.
"You ......", Qi Zhengming gritted his teeth angrily, and as soon as he raised his right hand, he was about to smash the unicorn pattern lion head in his hand on Jiang Luo's head.
Xie Donglai hurriedly stood up and sneered, "You two are fighting in front of me, what are you doing with me?"
Elder Qi, with all due respect, Jiang Luo is not a child of your Qi family, and it is not your turn to take care of the major events of your life; Jiang Luo, do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young? It is very majestic to quarrel with an eighty-year-old man?"
Qi Zhengming closed his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Instructor Xie, I'm sorry for you today, I'm in a bad mood now, I'll entertain you another day." β
Xie Donglai said with a smile: "Understand, you take care." β
After finishing speaking, he dragged Jiang Luo out.
As soon as he got out of the room, Jiang Luo frowned and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, today is Qi Ruyu's wedding?"
Xie Donglai raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile: "I just want to see how you behave when you attend your fiancΓ©e's wedding?"
Jiang Luo sneered: "Now are you satisfied? Qi Ruyu and I are just contract couples, who she marries has no effect on me, I'm sorry I didn't rob the kiss, let you watch a good show." β
Xie Donglai reached out and touched his nose, and said, "You are very calm, you didn't disappoint me, let's go back." β
Jiang Luo glanced at him angrily, turned around, and saw a familiar figure.
Qi Ruyu was wearing a red wedding dress, standing behind him with teary eyes, and her delicate makeup was spent.
Jiang Luo said softly: "Miss Qi, happy newlywed." β
Qi Ruyu moved her lips and didn't speak.
