Chapter 218: Lin Xiaonan's Predicament
I didn't expect Jiang Ping to do this, and Lin Xiaonan couldn't help but say anxiously: "You should drive faster, he has run away!"
"Let him run. Jiang Ping said lazily: "I plan to compare with him again." ”
Lin Xiaonan couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes and said: "Then why did you still promise him, only those who win are qualified to chase and pursue ......"
Lin Xiaonan is a young girl after all, and she is embarrassed to say things like "qualified to pursue me".
Jiang Ping looked at Lin Xiaonan with interest, and when he saw her, he turned his head shyly and said hatefully: "Look at what!"
"I think you seem to want me to win!" Jiang Ping said with a grin, "It's really a great honor for me!"
These words made Lin Xiaonan even more shy, and hurriedly looked out the window and didn't dare to look at Jiang Ping.
Fortunately, Jiang Ping didn't want to embarrass Lin Xiaonan too much, so he quickly said with a smile: "If you think about it carefully, in fact, I didn't promise Zhang Dongsheng anything!"
Jiang Ping was indeed right, just now he agreed to fly with the other party without waiting for Zhang Dongsheng to say the gambling contract. So it doesn't matter who wins or loses, it doesn't really matter.
Under Jiang Ping's reminder, Lin Xiaonan carefully recalled the situation just now, and finally couldn't help but smile: "You are so cunning!"
"This is not called cunning, but wisdom in life. Jiang Ping said lightly while driving: "With such a beautiful woman like you by your side, a fool only goes to ride a car with others." Drive slowly, talk about life and ideals by the way, this is the life I want!"
I don't know why, Lin Xiaonan found that when Jiang Ping said this, he had a sense of vicissitudes that were incommensurate with his age. looked at Jiang Ping's calm but tasteful side face. Lin Xiaonan's heart involuntarily trembled slightly.
Jiang Ping did not drive the car to his residence in Huanhua Lane. Instead, pull over where you can hail a taxi. After thanking Lin Xiaonan. I called a taxi and went back.
Lin Xiaonan watched Jiang Ping's taxi gradually drive away, and after a while, he started the mini Cooper and went home.
As soon as he got home, Lin Xiaonan saw his parents sitting on the sofa in the living room, and his father's face was full of displeasure, and he immediately knew that the situation was not good.
Seeing his daughter come back, Lin Pei snorted heavily, frowned and asked, "Didn't you say today that you would go to the opening ceremony of the Library Pavilion with Zhang Dongsheng, why did you come back alone?"
"I'm going. Lin Xiaonan said a little stiffly: "It's just that I didn't come back with him, is there a problem?"
Her daughter's attitude made Lin Pei even more angry. I couldn't help but pat the armrest of the sofa and said, "Don't forget to promise me something!"
Lin Xiaonan said-for-tat: "I haven't forgotten! I promised that as long as you intervene and let Cheng Jinwei accept the punishment of the law, I will attend the opening ceremony with Zhang Dongsheng, and I have done it, what do you want me to do?"
Lin Pei said with a straight face: "You did go with Zhang Dongsheng, but you are so close to other people, what's going on?"
His father's words made Lin Xiaonan very angry, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "You sent someone to spy on me?!"
"Xiaonan, how could Dad do that!" Lin Xiaonan's mother, Li Mingjuan, hurriedly played a round: "It was Zhang Dongsheng who just called to tell your father, and said that you and the boy left together." ”
The corners of Lin Xiaonan's mouth showed a hint of contempt and said, "He actually called? Is this unhappy to sue his parents? What a child who doesn't grow up!"
I was by my daughter's attitude. Lin Pei shouted: "No matter what, you shouldn't treat Zhang Dongsheng like that! Don't forget whose son he is." Whether our company can survive this difficult time depends on his family!"
Father's words finally made Lin Xiaonan explode, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "Yes, you can sell me for the sake of the company! Sometimes I really wonder if I am my own child!"
Leaving this sentence, Lin Xiaonan turned around and ran back to his room. She didn't dare to stay even for a second longer, because that would make her parents see her tears of grief.
Lin Pei and his wife were relatively speechless, and they both saw the deep helplessness in each other's eyes, and finally Li Mingjuan stood up and said: "I'll persuade Xiaonan, Lao Lin, don't push her too hard." It's not that you don't know your daughter's temper, that would only backfire. ”
Lin Pei nodded silently, waved his hand to his wife, and said, "You go." ”
"Xiaonan, mom is in!" Li Mingjuan knocked lightly on her daughter's door, and then walked into Lin Xiaonan's room.
Seeing her daughter sitting at the window and looking out blankly, Li Mingjuan felt uncomfortable, and said with a long sigh: "Xiaonan, I'm really embarrassed for you, but your father really has no choice." This time, your brother gambled hundreds of millions of rough stones, and the company's turnover is already very difficult. If it weren't for the Zhang family's help, your father's hard work would have been ...... for most of his life."
Without waiting for her mother to finish speaking, Lin Xiaonan said dissatisfiedly: "It's not that I gambled so many rough stones, why should I bear this responsibility?"
"But we're all family. Li Mingjuan said helplessly: "Now that the family is in difficulty, of course everyone has to contribute." ”
Lin Xiaonan sneered: "Everyone has to contribute, so I have to sacrifice my lifelong happiness, and my brother can go to Europe to relax, right?"
was speechless by her daughter's question, Li Mingjuan reluctantly changed the topic: "Let's not talk about these things first, what's the matter with the boy who came back with you?"
didn't expect her mother to shift the topic to Jiang Ping, and two faint red clouds immediately floated onto Lin Xiaonan's cheeks. She forced herself to calm down, and said in an indifferent tone: "It's just an acquaintance, it's my classmate in college." He didn't come by car, so I gave him a ride and got off when I could get a taxi. ”
Li Mingjuan knows her daughter very well, and Lin Xiaonan's most subtle expression can't escape her eyes, so she can't help but ask, "It's that simple?"
Lin Xiaonan nodded immediately: "It's as simple as that!"
Li Mingjuan smiled and shook her head: "I can't see it, those who are qualified to receive Sun Wenhai's invitation are all tasks with heads and faces." Since your classmates also have invitations, they are definitely not ordinary children. ”
Lin Xiaonan was puzzled: "I also think it's strange, how could he attend such an occasion when he usually looks inconspicuous? Moreover, he is also a ribbon-cutting guest, cutting the ribbon on the rostrum with Sun Wenhai." ”
Her daughter's words also made Li Mingjuan secretly surprised. knows that Jiang Ping is not a "poor boy without courage" as Zhang Dongsheng said. What kind of person is Sun Wenhai? Being invited by him to the rostrum as a ribbon-cutting guest shows that this young man is definitely not ordinary!
Thinking of this, Li Mingjuan couldn't sit still, and said to her daughter with a smile: "You're tired too, rest early." Even if today's incident is over, your dad is also a little anxious, don't take it to heart. ”
"Hmm!" Lin Xiaonan nodded with interest, in response to her mother's words.
Li Mingjuan hurriedly went downstairs to discuss Jiang Ping's affairs with her husband.
Of course, Jiang Ping didn't know that Sun Wenhai's decision would make him a person that Lin Xiaonan's parents were concerned about. He only hopes that the appearance at the opening ceremony can attract more people who want to see his face. It's a good source of income, and it's a great way to expand your network.
The next day was Sunday, and Jiang Ping went to visit the antique street as usual in the morning. However, when Jiang Ping came to the antique street this time, he felt completely different from before.
When he came to the antique street before, Jiang Ping felt that he was a passerby. No matter how bustling and lively it is, it has nothing to do with him. All Jiang Ping has to do is find a way to find some antiques that can make money, and then he will leave without regret.
However, the situation is completely different now. Because Jiang Ping himself has a store here, when he wears an antique street, he feels as if he has returned to another home.
And when he saw the bustling crowd, the numerous vendors and the hot trading scene here, Jiang Ping was also sincerely happy. After all, Jiang Ping has a store here, and the more lively the antique street, the higher the value of the store, so for him, the more lively the place, the better.
However, now that this store has just arrived, in order to prevent Li Wenxing from coming to the door to make trouble, Jiang Ping decided to wait for a while. So he didn't go in and sit for a while, but went straight to shop for goods as before.
However, Jiang Ping's luck was not good today, and he didn't gain anything. At noon, he left the antique street and rushed straight to Zhao Guoquan's house.
Yesterday at the opening ceremony, Jiang Ping made an appointment with Zhao Guoquan and went to his house as a guest today. Jia Jia has been babbling for days, saying that her eldest brother hasn't seen her for a long time. Since he is free today, of course Jiang Ping wants to go and see this cute little girl.
Jiang Ping received the warmest welcome from Li Jiajia, and Zhao Guoquan was also very enthusiastic about him. It's just that Zhao Wanqing seems to be a little abnormal, although she looks no different from usual, but she always gives Jiang Ping a feeling of forced laughter, as if she has something on her mind.
However, with Zhao Guoquan and Li Jiajia here, it was inconvenient for Jiang Ping to ask her carefully. However, the more he looked at Zhao Wanqing, the more sure he was that this mature and beautiful woman must have something on her mind, and it seemed that the things she had encountered were not small.
Jiang Ping secretly kept this incident in mind, and left after playing with Jiajia at Zhao Guoquan's house for an afternoon. Although Zhao Guoquan wanted to stay in Jiangping for dinner, he made an excuse to resign.
After all, Zhao Guoquan is already the main leader of the district, and his work is also very busy. If Jiang Ping stayed to eat, Zhao Guoquan would definitely be busy for a while, and it would be too troublesome for him.
The next day was Monday, and Jiang Ping had no classes in the afternoon, so he left school early. When I returned to my residence in Huanhua Lane from school, I was just passing by Zhao Wanqing's new unit. Thinking of Zhao Wanqing's preoccupied appearance yesterday, Jiang Ping decided to talk to her and ask what happened. (To be continued......)
