Chapter 428: A Gorgeous Dinner
Seeing Xiao Kai following behind Zheng Jiayue, the hand I had just raised to say hello was suddenly lowered again.
At this time, I looked at Xiao Kai, the expression on his face was very strange, but he was looking at Zheng Jiayue all the time.
This makes me inexplicably a little unhappy, I don't know why Zheng Jiayue is with him, did the two of them meet? But how can they meet in the same taxi? The only explanation that can be thought of is that Zheng Jiayue, who Xiao Kai contacted, happened to be that I didn't go to Zheng Jiayue, so Zheng Jiayue came with him.
Although it was just a simple time to celebrate Jiang Ziyun's birthday together, I felt very awkward in my heart, and I suddenly had a feeling that something would happen sooner or later if Xiao Kai went on like this, so I subconsciously sighed and watched the two of them walk in front of me.
As soon as she walked in front of me, Zheng Jiayue smiled at me, she looked at me and said
"Ah, Xiao Xiaoming, how did you know that we were coming, and you came to the door to greet you?"
Zheng Jiayue was still the same, as if she hadn't noticed my unhappiness at all, and at this time, Xiao Kai also walked up, he looked at me, and was stunned for a moment before he said in a cold tone
"Brother Ming.."
Xiao Kai's attitude was a little strange, looking at him as if he was not in a good mood...
This made me stunned again, but after thinking about it, I nodded and asked
"Why are you two here together?"
"Others.. Isn't anyone else with you?"
Originally, I didn't want to say the second half of the sentence, but just asking the first sentence seems a little too obvious...
Hearing me ask Zheng Jiayue came back to her senses, she wanted to say something, but after opening her mouth, she still looked at me, smiled and said
"When I was about to come, Xiao Kai called me, and I was not sure about the place, so I simply came with him~ Xiao Xiaoming, what are you doing? Are there only a few of us here?
Zheng Jiayue's words made me look at Xiao Kai again, Xiao Kai didn't seem to be going to answer me, but I saw him looking at me with indifference in his eyes.
I didn't know what he was thinking, but I nodded anyway and spoke
"Ahhh Mr. Chen also came, the two of them were in the hotel, it seemed that they were talking about something, and no one else had arrived yet. Simply .."
"You guys follow me here and wait, and there will be more people going up together in a while."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Zheng Jiayue smile and say
"Okay, that's. I'm going to go in and go to the bathroom first, you two are waiting here... I'll come out in a while~"
After speaking, Zheng Jiayue turned around and walked into the hotel.
When Zheng Jiayue entered the door of the hotel, there were only two people left, me and Xiaokai.
Xiao Kai didn't seem to be very excited, I don't know if he was a little tired.
I was a little unhappy just now, but I felt that he really didn't have anything to do with Zheng Jiayue, so I took a deep breath at this time, looked at Xiao Kai and asked
"Ahhh Xiao Kai, what gift did you buy for Jiang Ziyun?"
Xiao Kai doesn't seem to be too familiar with Jiang Ziyun, so I don't know if he bought a gift?
As a result, Xiao Kai seemed to be distracted, and after a while after I finished asking, he seemed to come back to his senses, looked at me and said
"Ahhh Not.. Didn't buy him a gift, was going to buy it, but.."
"When he told me, he told me many times, don't give gifts, just let people arrive... So.. I didn't buy it.."
Xiao Kai's answer is normal, it is true that he and Jiang Ziyun are still in the colleague stage, and they are not familiar with each other at all, so they can't buy any good gifts, and between men, they really don't necessarily have to be gifts.. I don't even want to buy it...
So at this time, I looked at him, nodded and said
"Well, it's okay, it's okay if you don't buy it, when you eat later, just drink two more drinks with him.."
Xiao Kai just looked at me when he heard me say this, he didn't nod his head, he didn't shake his head, he was silent and didn't know what he was thinking...
It's still rare for me to see Xiao Kai so cold, and I wonder if it's in his house. What's going on again... Originally, I wanted to ask, but I felt that it was not good to ask such an unhappy thing on this day, so I simply closed my mouth and simply didn't speak...
It's cold with Xiao Kai like this.,The two of us poked at the gate stupidly.,No one spoke.。。
After waiting for a while, all of a sudden another taxi arrived at the place... It was Chen Jiao who got out of the car...
Chen Jiao obviously bought Jiang Ziyun a very strange gift, anyway, it can't be said to be strange, it's just very big, the packaging is very big...
This made me slightly stunned, but I still stepped forward to help take the gift in her hand first.
After seeing me, Chen Jiao smiled at me, she looked at Xiao Kai behind me again, thought for a while, and then asked
"You're here early? Xiaoyue.. Not here yet?"
I shook my head and looked at her
: "She went to the bathroom.. Didn't she buy a gift for you? What's the take?"
Seeing me say this, Chen Jiao nodded again, and continued
"Eh, what kind of broken gift did she pick, and she chose the same as hers, I don't think it's good, I thought about it, and I bought another one, I don't know if he likes it or not, or I'll come with her, it took a lot of effort to buy this thing.."
Chen Jiao's words made me a little concerned, I cared about what she bought for Jiang Ziyun, but I was embarrassed to ask, anyway, I would know in a while, so I simply spoke
"Okay, then..." Why don't I take you up first, Mr. Chen doesn't know what to talk about with him... It's not good to put your stuff outside."
As soon as she heard me say Mr. Chen, Chen Jiao's expression immediately changed, she was stunned for a while, but she still spoke
"Then I'll go up later, I'll go find Xiaoyue, put the things here for you first, and you can help me get them later, okay?"
This Chen Jiao is really indifferent to Chen Yanyu, and I can't say anything, so I can only nod and agree.
Seeing that I agreed, Chen Jiao said thank you, and then walked to the side to say a brief hello to Xiao Kai, and then walked into the hotel.
After Chen Jiao entered the hotel, Xiao Kai and I were still silent here. Fortunately, the two of us passed for a while, and the winning man and little bubblegum came.
The winning man is quite serious, and the little bubblegum looks good in it.
In fact, little bubblegum has always been a little beauty, but she doesn't want to dress up at all on weekdays. It's very formal in the company, so it's inevitable to hide the look..
The two of them saw me and Xiao Kai standing at the door, and immediately exchanged a few words, the three of them were already familiar with each other because of their frequent contact with work, so they quickly chatted together, I had nothing to do, and I heard the three of them talking about work, and I didn't want to go over to interject, so I simply stood forward and continued to wait for people.
Now there should be only Yu Qian and Xiaoxue Wang Hanyin left, Xiaoxue and Wang Hanyin should come together, but I don't know when Yu Qian will come, I don't know when Yu Qian will come.
On weekdays, Yu Qian likes to do everything in advance, but today I don't know what's going on, it's a little late, which makes me can't help but touch the mobile phone in my pocket, and I want to take it out and call Yu Qian..
As a result, when I was hesitating, suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder...
I turned my head and found that the person who patted me on the shoulder was none other than Yu Qian...
This made me a little stunned, and it took a few seconds to react, and I looked at her and asked in some surprise
"You.. When did you come here? Why didn't I see you?"
Hearing me say this, Yu Qian smiled, she looked at me and said
"Walking from the side, I saw you standing here from afar, who are you waiting for... Isn't Xiao Yue here yet?Look at the look you look forward to~ You didn't notice when I came over~"
Yu Qian's words made me feel a little stuffy in my heart, I looked at her, thinking that I... I'm the one who is waiting for me...
But of course I can't say this kind of thing to Yu Qian, I looked at Xiao Kai and the three of them who were chatting in the distance, and then looked at Yu Qian again and spoke
"Ahhh No, she's coming, I.. I thought you all had to take a taxi here, so I kept an eye on this side, and I didn't pay attention to the side, how did you walk here.."
Yu Qian smiled quickly when she heard me say this, she looked at me and spoke
"Well, no, I know this place, so, I walked over after getting off the subway? Ah~ Should it be.. I'm the last to arrive, right? I felt like I was here early, so I didn't rush over."
I shook my head, looked at Yu Qian and said
"No, you're not the last, there are two more, others, that... Anyway, it's almost, why don't you go in first... It's in the upstairs room, you enter the door and ask, someone will take you up, I'll wait here myself, the people from our company have arrived, and there are a few people from other companies.."
Yu Qian laughed again when she heard me say this, she thought about it, and quickly said
"Okay, that's. Wang Ming, you've worked hard, I'll go in with them first."
After saying this, she made a cheering face at me again, and then walked over to Xiao Kai and the others on the side.
When several people saw Yu Qian coming, they also greeted each other, and after saying a few words, they entered the door of the hotel together.
Seeing that everyone had entered, I couldn't help but sigh, and my gaze stayed on Qian's back for a while, and then quickly turned around again.
At this time, almost everyone arrived, and only Xiaoxue and Wang Hanyin were left...
Of course, Wang Hanyin is also the most important person, if she doesn't come, I guess Jiang Ziyun won't want to celebrate her birthday today...
The reason why I am waiting for the two of them here is that the only people they know are me and Jiang Ziyun, Zheng Jiayue, and Chen Yanyu, so why should I wait a little better, and then I have to introduce it first, and then I have to see if Wang Hanyin is wearing that painting, I have already bragged about the gift with Jiang Ziyun, and if Wang Hanyin suddenly changes his mind again, then I am really a dog...
I waited a little longer, and finally a taxi came back to me.
I glanced at it, and sure enough, the people who came were Xiaoxue and Wang Hanyin.
I was a little amazed when the two of them got out of the car.,Of course, my dog's eyes were blinded by Xiaoxue's sister's stab first..
Seriously, among these people who came today, Xiaoxue's sister is the only one who can compete with Chen Yanyu, the two of them are evenly matched, perhaps, Xiaoxue is slightly better.
And Wang Hanyin is also dressed very casually, although she is older than me, but her appearance is completely very small.
She was dressed very young and had a nice box in her hand...
I visually inspected the packaging of the box, and soon realized that there should be nothing wrong, looking at the size, it should be the painting inside...
This reassured me a little, and then I smiled and greeted it.
When Wang Hanyin and Xiaoxue's sister saw me, they heard Xiaoxue speak
"Wang Ming, you are still waiting for the two of us here... Are we late?"
I shook my head and spoke
"It's not too late, it's not too late, the people have just arrived, it's just in time, that.. Let's go up.. They're all in there.."
Hearing me say this, Wang Hanyin nodded with Sister Xiaoxue, and the two of them followed behind me, and as soon as I entered the door, I still heard Sister Xiaoxue sigh with emotion
"Jiang Ziyun is really rich, this store is notoriously expensive... He is going to celebrate his birthday here, and a meal is estimated to cost tens of thousands."
I heard Xiaoxue's sister say this and was very calm, maybe one is because it wasn't my money spent... The second is because Jiang Ziyun has just been brainwashed with a camera lens, and I feel that my mother's meal only eats the money for one lens, which doesn't seem to be a big deal...
In this way, the three of us walked upstairs, and I quickly walked to the door of the private room with my two sisters.
As soon as I entered the door, there were already people sitting inside, Jiang Ziyun was sitting upright, and the seats next to him were all empty. And Xiao Kai and the winning man sat next to the winning man next to the little bubble gum, and the person sitting next to Xiao Kai turned out to be Zheng Jiayue...
Zheng Jiayue sat next to Chen Jiao, next to Chen Jiao was Yu Qian, and next to Yu Qian was Chen Yanyu...
I was a little confused by this seating order, and I was stunned for a moment, but I walked in the door, smiled, and spoke
"Ahhh Why don't you want to be next to the rich man who is having a treat today?"
My words made the person sitting laugh a little, and at this time, Sister Xiaoxue and Wang Hanyin walked in with me, and I noticed that Jiang Ziyun's eyes changed.
This made me more interesting, and after thinking about it, I still sat on Jiang Ziyun's left-hand side, Jiang Ziyun on my right hand, and small bubblegum on my left-hand side.
At this time, only Jiang Ziyun's left hand position was still empty, Xiaoxue's sister hesitated when she saw this, and actually walked over with Wang Hanyin, and then sat down next to Chen Yanyu, and then let Wang Hanyin sit on Jiang Ziyun's right, next to Jiang Ziyun..
Wang Hanyin didn't seem to feel anything, but the moment she sat down, I noticed that Jiang Ziyun's face turned red for the first time.
———— tomorrow
If I had to find one word to describe who I am now, it would be... I think I'm like a coward now...
Yes, I hid upstairs, and when I heard Li Xinran's screams, I couldn't move..
I didn't have the courage to rush down to her, my body, and I didn't even have the courage to go down.
At this time, the lights in the corridor went out one by one, and I stood in the dark, with only my faint heartbeat left in my mind, and Li Xinran's scream just now.
Without.. There was no other sound...
Did Lu Mao just hit Li Xinran? That "snap" sound, did he hit her?
I don't dare to imagine what kind of scene Li Xinran's house is like now, I can even guess that it must be very bad...
Lu Mao brought people here, he must have come to take revenge on Li Xinran, in front of others, the more Lu Mao did too much to Li Xinran, the more he could show that he took good care of his younger brother... So I can almost guess that Lu Mao must still be beating Li Xinran, although I can't hear any sound now, but the picture in the room is definitely numb just by seeing it...
What's even more terrifying is that I knew all about what was happening, but I didn't do anything about it.
It's not like me, it's not me at all.
If I were a student, even if I saw a girl I didn't know being bullied by hooligans or something on the road, I would definitely rush forward without hesitation.
And now it's a girl I know, a very miserable girl, or my sworn enemy hurting her, I don't even dare to do anything...
This makes me feel uncomfortable and condemned...
But even so, I still didn't go downstairs.
I still clearly know that my presence will not do any good, it will only make things more troublesome...
I may not be able to beat the three of them alone, and all Li Xinran's plans and preparations will be in vain...
I'll just take this as one of my own reasons, but I'm standing upstairs in the dark. Nothing was done..
I waited for a while, but there was still no movement downstairs.
I was a little bolder, and slowly moved around the corner and looked downstairs.
The three of them were no longer there, the door was tightly closed, and they should have all entered Li Xinran's house.
At this time, I took a deep breath, and then suddenly accelerated, went downstairs as fast as I could, and then rushed out of the corridor of Li Xinran's house.
After running out of the stairway, I almost ran all the way with my head bored...
By the time I came to my senses, I had run far, far away, so far that I didn't know where I was going.
At this time, I looked around in confusion, strange places, unfamiliar lights...
Everything is glittering, but everything is again, completely alien ..
I found a flower stand on the side of the road, and sat on it a little weakly.
After sitting down, I gasped for breath and couldn't calm down for a long time.
I suddenly remembered the time I took Zheng Jiayue to Shenzhen, that time something like that happened, I asked Zheng Jiayue to go first.. And then leave it yourself to deal with those hooligans ..
And now, I'm running faster than anyone else...
This made me laugh a little self-deprecatingly, I never felt that I was afraid of Lu Mao, but now... I seem to be really scared...
Actually, I know the reason, I'm not afraid of Lu Mao, I'm just afraid of myself and losing my current life...
Lose your current position, lose your current job...
I'm just scared that I'm losing these things...
If it had been before, I would have beaten Lu Mao without hesitation, but now... I started to get scared, I would think, I would hesitate...
It's not a good thing, at least in some ways, it's really not a good thing...
I hate the way I am, but really, as if I can't change anything...
In this way, while condemning myself in my heart, I sat here in confusion.
I don't know how long I've been sitting here anymore, but suddenly I realized something...
Then he stood up again.
After standing up, I didn't walk in the direction of the subway, but walked back along the road I had just run all the way over.
When I walked back, my pace was slow, and I was very careful, keeping my eyes on the front...
I've been looking for Lu Mao and them, and I've been looking at them...
However, I didn't see anyone along the way, and when I was about to walk back to the neighborhood where Li Xinran lived, I found a car on the side of the road.
I first avoided and looked, and after making sure that there was no one in the car, I stepped forward again and determined that this was the car that Lu Mao often drove...
I still remember one time when I went home, Lu Mao drove this license plate number to find Yu Qian... It should be that there is nothing wrong with this car..
It seemed that the three of them were still at Li Xinran's house, so I stepped aside again, went across the street, and found a hidden place to hide...
At this time, I was like a paparazzi, watching the car from a distance, waiting for the three people to appear...
I don't know how long I waited, but finally Lu Mao and the two little dogs appeared.
I was nervous when I saw these three people, and subconsciously hid again.
I saw that the three of them quickly got into the car, and after a while, the car started and drove towards the road.
After seeing the car drive away, I crossed the highway again. Then I walked back into the community.
Although it didn't help Li Xinran just now, I have to go see her at this time... Let's see if there's anything going on with her...
No matter what Lu Mao did, I have to take a look, maybe this will make the condemnation in my heart a little better, maybe this will make me feel a little more at ease...
With this thought, the pace of my feet was very fast, and I walked briskly back to the door of Li Xinran's corridor. I barely stopped, and when I went up the stairs, I soon stood in front of Li Xinran's door.
At this point, I reached out and knocked on the door quickly...
And when I knocked on the door, my voice was muffled
"It's me.. Are you at home? Open the door."
The knocking continued for a while, and the door opened.
I was nervous at first, and soon... I saw a picture that I couldn't describe...
How to say it.. How to describe it: .
Li Xinran seemed to see me through the cat's eyes, her eyes were dead, and there was no luster...
Just now the floor in the house is still very clean... A place of hair.
It's all shredded... It seems that there is a shredded one.
At this time, Li Xinran still had tears in his eyes... She looked at me blankly, with a reddened palm print on the side of her cheek.
And her original hair, pitifully and sadly, was a mess.
Seeing Li Xinran like this, I don't know what kind of feeling I feel in my heart...
I never knew the world would be like this.
In this world that looks peaceful and gentle, there can be such a thing... What's even sadder is that this kind of thing is happening almost every moment...
