Chapter 22 Without thinking, he reached out and caught her
The person who came up the stairs was Lu Wanwan.
She had already changed into casual clothes at this time, her curly hair was draped over her shoulders, lined with a pink and purple coat on her body, and the whole person looked fresh and bright.
Thinking that she hadn't returned home for a long time, she came to the store to choose a dress.
And behind her was Mo Yawei.
The latter still had the same gentle and gentle appearance, his chin drooped slightly when he walked, and his slightly painted face was much more refined than the last time he saw him.
When she saw Su Ni and Wen Yue, she slowly pulled her lips, and her elegant appearance did not make people notice that she had just been released from prison, "I never thought I would meet you here." Lawyer Su, don't care about Wanwan's words, it's because you quarreled and Changming thought that you didn't want to participate, so he asked me to attend with him. ”
In fact, it was Lu Wanwan who deliberately came to tell her about it, and tested Lu Changming's side again.
It's just that the other party didn't refuse, so he took Mo Yawei to try on the dress on his own initiative.
Su Ni chuckled, casually put another set of dresses in front of him, raised his snow-white neck in front of the mirror, and said softly, "Who is he taking and what does it have to do with me?"
"Hey, since Sister Yawei is over, there's nothing to do with you!"
Su Ni raised her eyebrows, her fingers running over the fine materials, carelessly.
"How can it be, take 10,000 steps back, it's still relevant to me. Don't forget that I am still Changming's wife, even if he brought thousands of women to attend, there is only Mrs. Lu in the eyes of others. ”
Wen Yue on the side laughed out loud, pointing to the clothes in Su Ni's left hand, as if there was no one around, "It's still a good look, the moon white is suitable for you, and the fishtail also sets the figure." ”
"Well, it seems that the bust is a little bigger......"
"It's okay Mrs. Lu, we can modify it for you right away. ”
The waiter smiled happily and carefully compared with Su Ni.
A few people discussed it on their own, making Lu Wanwan's face turn blue and white for a while. Su Ni's deliberate neglect made her mind tighten again.
After all, he was young and vigorous, and he couldn't bear this breath, and when he was about to have a seizure, he was pulled back.
Mo Yawei took the initiative to raise her voice, her fingers tightened together, and slowly spoke to Su Ni, who was about to enter the locker room, "Lawyer Su, I'm sorry no matter what. I wouldn't have agreed if I knew you were going too......"
"Actually, Changming left you because of a phone call a few nights ago, which has made me very sorry. If I go anyway this time, maybe something will happen. ”
Everyone knows how deliberate she is.
But even so, Mo Yawei didn't notice any fluctuations on Su Ni's face, seeing that she was just slightly stiff in Beijing, she bit her lip, held one hand on Lu Wan's wrist, and gently tugged it, "I think I'd better go first, Wanwan, you can talk to your brother when you go back......"
"Why are you leaving?"
Lu Wanwan sneered, and couldn't see Mo Yawei's pitiful appearance the most. couldn't stand Su Ni's indifference, so he simply grabbed her with his backhand, and his raised chin was slender.
"I think it's someone else who should be avoided. Sister Yawei, my brother needs a female companion tonight, he is about to return to singleness, and anyone can be the 'real' Mrs. Lu!
Old lady?
Su Ni was taken aback by these words.
No matter who knows the old lady's dislike for Mo Yawei, let alone allowing her to attend the Wen family's old lady's dinner with Lu Changming, this name alone is taboo in front of the old lady.
Su Ni turned sideways slightly, put down the clothes in her hand, and looked at Mo Yawei slightly for a while.
"The old lady agrees?"
"It's strange, but since the old lady agrees, it has nothing to do with me. ”
She chuckled, still calm and relaxed, and did not show any dissatisfaction because of Mo Yawei's provocation.
On the contrary, it was Lu Wanwan, who couldn't get used to her appearance, and wanted to step forward to choke......
However, Su Ni turned around and walked into the locker room.
No one noticed Su Ni's tightly knit eyebrows.
But Lu Wanwan was still angry, so he yelled at the waiter, "What are you looking at?" Do you know that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu are screaming nonsense, and they don't know how to greet us?"
"The two ladies can choose as much as you like, see what style you two like?"
Lu Wanwan clenched his fists, glanced at Mo Yawei, and raised his voice, "Just bring the most expensive one!"
"Poof, bend. ”
There was a chuckle next to her, it was Wen Yue, who was putting on makeup, and she pointed to the dressing room next to her through the mirror.
"It's unfortunate, your sister-in-law is trying to be the most exquisitely designed in the store, the whole series is the most brilliant one, and the rest, if you want to forcibly replace it, you can't get that exquisite, and you will fall behind in comparison......"
"Why don't you go downstairs and take a look at the other styles?"
Lu Wanwan is not stupid, how can he not hear her allusions!
But at this time, she couldn't make noise here, she played a little trick and let Mo Yawei become her eldest brother's female companion, if it was delayed, it would be really troublesome.
"Alright, let's go downstairs and pick the right one. As for the price, it's the liking that counts, isn't it?"
Mo Yawei's words seemed to persuade Lu Wanwan, she pursed her lips and reluctantly went downstairs.
When he turned around, he glared viciously in the direction of the locker room.
Su Ni walked out and looked thoughtfully towards the stairs, not realizing that her eyebrows had been inadvertently gathered, and the old lady agreed to Mo Yawei and Lu Changming to attend together?
It's weird.
……
The old lady of the Xu family is eighty and three this year, and she originally lived in the old mansion for many years in order to recuperate, but when she came back a few days ago, she had to hold a reception banquet wantonly.
Su Ni has been busy with Mrs. Lin's lawsuit recently, and she doesn't know the old lady's intentions.
She accompanied Wen Yue to Xu's house, and got out of the car in the bleak winter, the front end of her skirt was just ankle-length, and her snow-white ankles were exposed with the action of walking, which made her feel excited in the cold night.
The two walked straight into the courtyard and stood aside under the guidance of the servant.
When they entered the door, someone greeted them and asked them to slowly take off their coats.
"Miss Wai, you shouldn't have come. ”
The housekeeper of the Xu family sighed while taking the clothes of the two.
"It's just to show me, and if I don't come, he'll be disappointed. ”
Su Ni froze.
When she turned around, she suddenly saw the melancholy and loss in Wen Yue's eyes, and she heard the whispers of the people around her.
Even in front of them, there is no concealment.
"This girl is bold, and she dares to appear on such an occasion. ”
"I don't know how Xu Jinnan and Ye Shan are engaged, how she will face ......"
She handed her clothes over, paused, and her arms hung in the air. Only then did I realize that the two had become the focus of everyone's attention since they appeared.
Not far away, someone looked over here, and several people leaned against the table, drinking and making noise, but nothing happened.
Su Ni raised her eyes as if she had sensed something, and just happened to see the pair of men and women standing together on the opposite side.
The woman in a gauze dress was smiling sweetly at the man beside her, with a gentle and considerate appearance, I was afraid that it would melt people's hearts.
The man beside him leaned against the table in a dark blue suit, his slender fingers holding a goblet, and when he turned it casually, the pale green liquid reflected his deep face.
He raised an eyebrow suddenly, and looked towards the door because of the commotion.
His dark eyes were like ink, and he narrowed slightly.
"Come here. ”
Su Ni clenched her hands, and somehow, she "chuckled" in her heart.
The man's cold jaw was still tight, and the whole face changed with the movement of his fingers, and the deep black eyes that had remained unchanged fell directly into her eyes.
The mood is obscure.
"Su Ni ......"
Lu Changming seemed to open his mouth, but Su Ni couldn't see clearly. For he turned his back to the light, and half of his face was in shadow, except for the faintly dark eyes, which seemed to be covered in mist.
Just then, a tall man pushed through the crowd and walked to the door. Xu Jinnan, who is in his thirties, wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his appearance is already gentle, and he is becoming more and more noble against the backdrop of a well-tailored suit.
"Yueyue, why are you still here?"
His voice was cold, and he still had the gentle appearance of the past, and when he spoke, even his facial features were crowded together.
Su Ni frowned, looked at him, and then at Wen Yue, and suddenly understood that what Lu Wanwan said was true.
But someone behind her touched her, but Wen Yue already knew everything, because of Xu Jinnan's appearance, she deliberately stood behind her.
The slender white fingers held her wrist like this, and occasionally when they met Xu Jinnan's eyes, their fingertips shook a few times, "Let's go in." ”
"Month after month. ”
Xu Jinnan grabbed her and twisted his eyebrows to persuade her to leave.
But Su Ni heard Wen Yue's jerky and poignant voice in her ears, "Brother Xu, let it go." You are engaged, and I should bless you. ”
"It's not what you think, we ...... about it"
"Everyone!"
Xu Jinnan seemed to be about to speak, but the rest of his voice was swallowed up by the microphone.
At the banquet, the old lady said some polite words into the microphone, probably thanking everyone for attending. But that sharp gaze always fell on this side, scorching, as if it could burn people.
The old lady still has full control over everyone in the Xu family, knowing that Xu Jinnan and Wen Yue are together, but in the end, she can still mention Xu Jinnan and Ye Shan's engagement with a smile.
The lights in the courtyard were dim, and the occasional missed beam of light fell on the faces of the two, but it was enough for Su Ni to feel the stiffness of the person beside him.
"On the seventh day of the first month of next month, the engagement of Jinnan and Shanshan will be held, and I hope you can be there to bless them!"
When the old lady's last words fell, Su Ni finally saw the ground and shed a tear.
She withdrew her gaze and saw Wen Yue, who was crying and trembling all over her body, frowning.
"Follow me!"
Xu Jinnan suddenly grabbed Wen Yue at this time and dragged her out.
With vigorous strides.
"Xu Jinnan, you ......"
Su Ni saw Wen Yue's struggle and cried for help, so she didn't want to follow.
Her skirt was inconvenient, and she almost tripped over the threshold, but she persevered until she caught up.
"It seems that Jin Nan hasn't settled his little niece yet. Hey, why did Su Ni follow, Xiao San'er, didn't you tell her?"
"You haven't seen it yet, the third brother is quarreling with his sister-in-law, the recent divorce has been public, the second brother, you just came back, I don't know, Su Ni this time, iron-hearted ......"
If no one talked about the two of them, it was rare for their brothers to get together, so they took the opportunity of the Wen family to meet. On weekdays, Ben also likes to tease each other.
But this time, Lu Changming didn't have the heart to listen to it anymore.
"Changming, where are you going?"
Mo Yawei, who came over with a glass of red wine, happened to see his departing back. I hurriedly followed, and almost spilled the red wine on the floor.
"Shen Nan, where is Changming?"
The Sven man who was named shrugged his shoulders, his face full of helplessness, "How do I know, Miss Mo is anxious to ask herself......"
The corners of Mo Yawei's mouth twitched, and she didn't ask any more questions, but took the initiative to follow.
And over there, the man was long, and he had already crossed the crowd, and his eyes fell on the woman who had turned around in a hurry.
Through the dim light, he could still clearly confirm the figure of the other party, the woman in the fishtail skirt, who was impatiently chasing out of the threshold......
It's a pity that this dress is inconvenient after all.
The woman shook, and the heels stumbled somewhere, and they fell straight back.
Without thinking, he reached out and caught her.
