Chapter 7: 26 Years Old: Darry Ring
"Uncle,. ET "In the evening, Ai Jiatong called Zeng Baifei to complain.
"No, he's really coming for you?" Zeng Baifei said in surprise.
"Ugh."
"I really can't imagine it, it's been so many years, Tao Lei is so affectionate, you Ai Jiatong really don't know what attracts people." Zeng Baifei sighed.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Ai Jiatong asked when he heard the meaning of his words.
"To be honest, Ai Jiatong, do you think you are very beautiful? Is your family rich? Are you highly educated? Are you capable of working? Are you very good at housework? Or do you have a good personality? There is nothing, in this case, don't blame me for being surprised, after all, Tao Lei is rich and handsome. β
When Ai Jiatong heard this, her face darkened, "After so many years of dying, why don't you die?" β
"Na, look, you have a bad temper, you can't talk about it."
"Zeng Baifei!" Ai Jiatong roared.
"I'm telling the truth, am I guilty of telling the truth?"
"I have a relationship with Yan Qiukai." Ai Jiatong didn't care about him, and suddenly killed this sentence.
Zeng Baifei on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and stammered a little, "What, what?" β
"I and Yan Qiukai are born, related, and connected!"
"When did it happen? Are you reconciled? So what about Zhou Jiatong? You guys. β
"Why are you in such a hurry, listen to me." Ai Jiatong interrupted Zeng Baifei's words.
"Okay, you say."
So, Ai Jiatong told Zeng Baifei what happened last night and this morning.
"Jiatong, do you think, whose fault is it?" Zeng Baifei asked after listening.
"Everyone is drinking, and everyone is at fault."
"I don't think Yan Qiukai was drunk, it's not okay for a man to get drunk, and besides, didn't you say it, Yan Qiukai drove you back, so he was sober and sexually assaulted you." Zeng Baifei said solemnly.
Ai Jiatong touched her nose, "Is it that serious?" β
"What? Would you like to? β
"Your head is in water, what do I have to do with him, don't talk about this, just say that he has a fiancΓ©e, I can't do such a thing, how can I be happy?!!" Ai Jiatong said angrily.
"How do I know you, don't you women have no hesitation in the men you love?"
"Do you think I am, then?"
"It's not!" Zeng Baifei replied without hesitation.
"Then you say it again!"
Zeng Baifei was silent, the words he just said were indeed too thoughtless, how could he not know how rational Ai Jiatong was, after all, everyone had been together for so many years.
"So what do you do now?" Zeng Baifei asked.
"What else can I do, as I told you, when nothing happened, and I'm not the kind of woman who wants to live and die for this little thing."
"So it's not untrue that Yan Qiukai said that you are casual."
"Hey, you've had enough of me!" Ai Jiatong was displeased.
"Okay, you ......"
The two chatted for more than two hours before hanging up the phone.
Ai Jiatong was thirsty and went to the hall to drink water, and Ai's mother hurriedly walked over.
"What?" Ai Jiatong poured water, picked up the water cup and asked.
"Jiatong, what does your classmate have to do with you today?" Ai's mother asked with a smile.
"What can it matter, it's just an ordinary schoolmate relationship." Ai Jiatong glanced at her and said, and then drank water.
"He likes you, wants to chase you, doesn't he?"
"Mom, look at what conditions people have, what conditions I have, wooden door to wooden door, bamboo door to bamboo door, do you really think he will be with your daughter for a long time? People don't allow it, haven't you watched the TV series? Ai Jiatong put down the water glass and said angrily.
"But, I think he likes you very much." Ai's mother's tone weakened.
"What's the use of liking? Do you like it in your family? You know a little bit about his background. β
"I only know that he is the general manager and the family is in business."
"Tao Zhongcheng has heard of it, the richest man in Q City, he is Tao Lei's father."
When Ai's mother heard this, she looked surprised and stammered a little and asked, "Really, really?" β
"Why am I lying to you? Do you think, a person so young that he can do it when he says he is a general manager? Without such a strong background, who allows it! β
ββ¦β¦β
"So, don't think too much, want to be sad and waste your feelings, OK?"
"Alas, I thought you were coming in spring, but I didn't expect it to be winter." Ai's mother looked disappointed.
"Mom, a lot of times it depends on fate, and I'm sure I'll meet it." Ai Jiatong put his arm around his mother's shoulder and said.
"Fate, I see, you just wait to be an old aunt, the opportunity is your own, rely on God, you don't have to marry!" Ai's mother pulled her hand down and said angrily.
Ai Jiatong pouted, "Anyway, I'll think about my own affairs." β
"Forget it, I don't care about you, see if you want it for more than two years, don't ask so much, just get by." Ai's mother said bitterly.
"Mom, how can I be demanding, I really haven't met the right one, I can't just give in because I'm of marriageable age." Ai Jiatong said innocently.
"It's not about compromise, it's about being suitable, I don't believe I can't meet the right one after working for so long."
"Not really!!" Ai Jiatong wanted to cry without tears.
"Anyway, I don't care about you, if you can't bring your boyfriend home this year, then you don't have to go home!" Ai's mother ordered.
"Mom!"
"Needless to say, it's only one month now, and there are eleven months left, I don't care if you're going to be right or suitable, anyway, if you don't take it home, you don't have to go back!" Ai's mother looked resolute.
"Mom, are you so ruthless? Your daughter is no longer wanted, don't you want it too? Ai Jiatong cried with a sad face.
"No, no, no!" Ai's mother waved her hand.
"Mommy !!"
Ai's mother ignored Ai Jiatong's shouting and entered the room.
Yan Qiukai took Zhou Jiatong back to her apartment and went to work, and asked the part-time worker to cook the meal at night and eat with her.
"Akai, why didn't you go to work this morning? So late? While eating, Zhou Jiatong asked.
"Something."
"Oh." Zhou Jiatong wanted to get to the bottom of it, but the woman's intuition told her not to ask, so she gave up.
The two ate quietly, and when they were almost finished, Zhou Jiatong glanced at Yan Qiukai and spoke, "Akai, today my aunt called me and asked me when we would get married, and she also said, why don't you get engaged first if you don't get married, and ask when you will get engaged." β
"And how do you answer?" Yan Qiukai put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked.
"I said I don't know, but my aunt seems to be in a bit of a hurry, and she seems to want to hug her grandson." Zhou Jiatong bit his lower lip and said.
Yan Qiukai lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and looked at Zhou Jiatong, "Then when do you want to?" β
"Akai, you know, becoming your wife has always been my dream." Zhou Jiatong looked affectionate.
"Then, let's get engaged." Yan Qiukai said with a smile.
Zhou Jiatong looked surprised, "Really, really!?" β
"Hmm."
"I'm going to buy a ring tomorrow." Yan Qiukai nodded.
Zhou Jiatong threw himself into Yan Qiukai's arms with a happy face, and said happily, "Akai, I'm really, really happy, really!! β
"Me too." Yan Qiukai put his arm around her and said.
"Me, can I have a request?" Zhou Jiatong raised his head from Yan Qiukai's arms and asked.
"Huh?"
"You've heard of Darryring's ring." Zhou Jiatong asked.
"You want?"
"Well, can we buy it when we get engaged?" Zhou Jiatong looked forward to it.
"If you like it, buy it."
Zhou Jiatong looked happy and kissed Yan Qiukai's face, "Akai, I love you so much, I feel that I am the happiest person in the world." β
Yan Qiukai still had an elegant smile on his face, and he was not as full of joy and happiness as Zhou Jiatong.
"Ah Xu, are you free tomorrow? I'm going to get engaged to Zhou Jiatong, can you go with us to see the ring? Yan Qiukai dialed Yi Xu's mobile phone number and asked.
"OK, no problem, you've finally figured it out." Yi Xu said happily, completely unaware of what he would face tomorrow.
Yan Qiukai just smiled and didn't speak.
The next day, the three of them went to Darryring's store, the waiter saw the person very warmly welcomed, because he recognized Yi Xu and Yan Qiukai, so the manager came out to serve, and also made a special trip to let them sit in the VIP room to choose, the manager let people bring new and special design of the diamond ring, selected for about an hour, Zhou Jiatong finally took a fancy to a diamond ring of several millions, this diamond ring is surrounded by sapphires, just selected, her mobile phone rang, it was someone from the company called, Ask her to go back and deal with the problem right away.
"Akai, me."
"It's okay, you can be busy first if you have something, anyway, now you only have to fill in the information."
Zhou Jiatong hesitated for a moment, but thinking of the anxious tone of the assistant on the phone, he still agreed.
After Yan Qiukai saw Zhou Jiatong leave, he took his ID card to the waiter, the waiter used the computer to register, he and Yi Xu were sitting and chatting with the manager in the VIP room, and while they were chatting, the waiter came over, and his face was a little strange.
"Sir, I'm sorry, you've already purchased our ring once, so you can't buy it again." The waiter said apologetically.
When everyone heard this, they were surprised, except for Yan Qiukai, of course.
"Are you sure?" Yan Qiukai asked.
"Yes."
"So, what's the name of the lady you're bound to?" Yan Qiukai asked.
The waiter glanced at him suspiciously, and didn't ask much, "Ai Jiatong." β
Yan Qiukai looked calm, and then spoke, "When did you buy that ring?" β
"It's been almost four years since I bought it."
"Oh, I see." Yan Qiukai nodded, then looked at Yi Xu, raised an elegant smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Ah Xu, it turns out that I once bought a ring in the name of Ai Jiatong, not Zhou Jiatong. β
Yi Xu couldn't hide his panic, he didn't know how to deal with Yan Qiukai anymore, and his head was blank.
The manager and waiter on the side were puzzled by this scene.
