Chapter 20 Everything will eventually return to the way it was
After she finished speaking, she carefully placed the carton in her hand on Diao Ranran's desk and helped her take the letter opener.
"Do you want to open it?"
Ji Shixue was also curious and didn't know what was inside.
Diao Ranran got closer, picked up the carton, shook it slightly, made sure that it was not a dangerous item inside, and listened to it for a while, then put it down and asked Ji Shixue to open it.
Watching Ji Shixue take the sharp letter opener, cut the adhesive strip on the outside of the carton, and then open the box, and took out something wrapped in many layers of shockproof foam from inside, she was a little curious.
"Do you have a card?"
At this moment, Diao Ranran also decided that since it was sent from Rome, there was an 80% chance that it was sent by the organizing committee of the competition. After all, she is an invited guest of this year's fragrance design competition, and it would be reasonable if she received the corresponding souvenir of the competition.
When Ji Shixue heard this, she immediately put down the things in her hand, lowered her head and continued to rummage in the cardboard box.
"Yes, yes, a pink card. ”
As she spoke, she took it out with her fingers and handed it to Diao Ranran.
On the thin piece of paper, there was also a faint and long fragrance, and when Diao Ranran took it, he instinctively sniffed it, and immediately had a feeling of déjà vu...... She wasn't sure, but she always felt like she had smelled it somewhere.
Frankly speaking, every day in a company specializing in perfume and cosmetics, surrounded by fairy-like beauties, there is no fragrance around, and after smelling for a long time, in fact, there is some sense of smell numb.
However, this smell is still fresh in her memory.
Diao Ranran took the card, opened the envelope outside, unfolded it, and his face changed in shock...
Handwriting, very delicate font, said unfamiliar, but not unfamiliar, because that is Diao Ranran's handwriting, she has seen it in the company. Because she was afraid of being discovered by others, she rarely wrote by hand unless she had to, so as not to show her feet.
"Fate is free. Eventually, everything will return to the way it was. ”
The two sentences seem to be unrelated, and some of them seem to have no beginning or end.
Her hands trembled uncontrollably.
Because she was afraid of being noticed by Ji Shixue, Diao Ranran took a deep breath and pretended to be casual and said: "It turned out to be a friend, but I didn't expect her to go to Italy to play, and she remembered to send me a small gift." You go get busy. ”
Hearing her say this, Ji Shixue did not doubt him, and immediately smiled and joked with her: "Don't worry, Miss Diao, in order to thank you for giving me such a good learning opportunity, I will definitely use my private money to buy you a generous gift..."
Diao Ranran smiled reluctantly: "What a learning opportunity, it's obviously an opportunity to knock down an idol, so that the man who has been divorced four times can see the charm of our Chinese women... Keep your dowry, and remember to bring me a box of Perugia chocolates, I heard it is delicious. ”
"No questions. ”
Ji Shixue agreed, walked away, and gently closed the door.
Seeing her leave, Diao Ranran suddenly felt weak in her legs, and immediately collapsed on the chair, motionless for a long time.
She sat for a while before she immediately went to the empty cardboard box, and there was nothing else in it, and the courier bill showed that it had indeed been sent from Rome, Italy. In other words, it is really possible that Diao Ranran and Qiao Yanne went there, of course, there is also a possibility that they stayed there, and as for where they are now, no one knows.
Wrapped in layers of foam, it's just a bunch of dried flowers.
I don't know what special process has been processed, after the bouquet is dried, the color is still gorgeous, it looks not much different from when it was fresh, it is packed in a sturdy square box, although it has crossed the ocean, across tens of thousands of kilometers, there is no damage, delicate, complete, showing an eternal beauty.
This kind of flower is no stranger to her.
Blue-purple vetiver irises.
Received it once before.
It seems that that that time was also sent by her, so it was just a trick.
Last time, what the other party wrote on the scrap of paper was, broken passion. This time, it was written on the piece of paper, the dissociation of fate.
And these two sentences, taken together, happen to be the flower language of Vetiver Iris.
It's all right.
It's her, it's her, there's nothing wrong with that.
Almost at the same time, Diao Ranran suddenly realized, no wonder as soon as she picked up the piece of paper, she felt that the smell was familiar, this smell, in fact, she had really smelled it, it was next to the bushes that night.
She and her, twin sisters, were separated by a bunch of trees, and although they didn't see each other's faces, they all knew that the people who were close at hand were siblings of almost the same blood as themselves.
The wind, blowing the smell of her body, faint, so intoxicating.
As a perfumer who became famous at a young age, she knows what kind of smell is suitable for her and makes people unforgettable.
However, at this moment, Ran Xixi, who was forced to become Diao Ranran, pinched the piece of paper and was at a loss.
What is ...... called? Everything will eventually return to the way it was?...
As it is, she is Ran Xixi, and the woman who took Qiao Yanne away at the wedding is the real Diao Ranran...
The so-called restitution......
She shuddered...
Acting people, once they are too involved, forget who they are and become the role they are playing. She even felt that she was actually Diao Ranran, from the initial unaccustomed to the current instinctive reaction. Standing on the street, as soon as someone shouted these three words, she thought, she was sure, she would turn back immediately.
The paper slides gently between your fingers.
The phone on the table suddenly rang, startling her.
She picked up in a hoarse voice.
"I'm sorry, Ranran, I've been waiting for a while, but I haven't received your call. Because the restaurant needs to be booked in advance, I would like to ask you, do you have time?"
It was Lu Qinghuan, originally, Diao Ranran promised him that as long as he finished the call, he would tell him the result.
But she forgot.
"I'm sorry. I called, but unfortunately I happened to be in a bit of a hurry, so I forgot to tell you. I'm sorry, Qinghuan, Xingchuan has a party tonight, and he really can't push it away. Let's have dinner together another day, shall we?"
Diao Ranran clenched her fists hard, her nails digging deep into her palms, and she didn't even notice the pain.
Lu Qinghuan hurriedly said that it didn't matter, it could be another day.
However, he was keenly aware of her strangeness.
If you listen closely, you will actually find that there seems to be a hint of tremor in her voice, which is very different from normal times.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Qinghuan still risked being nosy, and asked carefully, "You...... What's wrong with you? Doesn't sound right. Did I ask you to dinner and make you quarrel?"
I have to say that he actually doesn't have much hope for that person in Zhan Xingchuan.
If it was really because he took the initiative to come to dinner, which caused the two of them to have a dispute, then Lu Qinghuan really felt very sorry, his intentions were good, thinking that everyone was in Zhonghai and they were all businessmen, and they would inevitably meet on various occasions. If they always don't like each other, outsiders will inevitably speculate when they see it, which is not good for everyone.
"No, I didn't. No. He actually wanted to go too. It's a pity to eat with a few officials, you know, that kind of person is very troublesome. We didn't quarrel, don't think about it. ”
Diao Ranran hurriedly clarified, but he didn't want to embarrass Lu Qinghuan.
"That's good. Then you pay attention to the body. ”
He didn't say anything more, didn't express his suspicions, and said goodbye to her directly.
She held the phone for a long time, and finally put it down.
It's not that Zhan Xingchuan can't go if she has something to do, but that her mood is too chaotic now, and she can't go to anyone's dinner at all. Therefore, she could only lie and turn down Lu Qinghuan's invitation in the name of Zhan Xingchuan.
She also knew that it was not good for her to go back on her word like this, but there was no way.
After sitting quietly for a while, Diao Ranran hurriedly stood up, put away all the things on the table, flattened the carton, and threw it into the trash can, so as not to be seen by Zhan Xingchuan.
After talking to Diao Ranran, Zhan Xingchuan sat for a while, and he arrived early, so after a few minutes, the lawyer was late.
This lawyer is a member of Zhan's legal counsel group, surnamed Xu, and he usually has little contact with Zhan Xingchuan, so he is also a little flattered to be handpicked by him this time. Especially when he saw him arrive first, he was even more frightened, and apologized again and again as soon as he met.
"You're not late, I'm early. Have a seat. ”
Zhan Xingchuan was not arrogant, said with a relaxed face, and pointed to the sofa opposite.
They made an appointment at a café under the law firm, which was convenient for chatting and a more relaxed environment.
Lawyer Xu sat down and briefly confirmed the whole step with Zhan Xingchuan. Basically, this process is not complicated, according to the will drawn up by Zhan Liyang before his death, the two parties are present, confirm that it is correct, sign, the contract takes effect, wait for the transfer, receive the money, and you can.
"Okay, I got it. ”
Zhan Xingchuan raised his wrist and glanced at the time.
It was already five minutes behind schedule.
He doesn't like latecomers, young and old.
At this point, Diao Ranran has done a good job. Whether it is before or after marriage, basically, unless there are extremely special circumstances, she will arrive early, and the worst is to arrive on time, never letting the other party on the date wait.
In contrast, Yu Youwei seems to be a little willful today.
Fifteen minutes late, she was finally late.
In early spring, most of the women's spring clothes have been put on, and Yu Youwei is no exception.
She wears a light blue-gray suit, a color that is said to be a hit this year, and it looks very fresh and perfect for the season: it is not easily drowned in the crowd, it is not too dazzling, but it looks cheap.
