Chapter 34: The Gathering (1)

Yuanyuan and Xiaoya offered to organize the party, and Jia Yi only needed to send an invitation letter to the person who invited her.

But this thing, which seemed so simple to them, really made it difficult for Jiayi. She had to put the three men who gave her the most headaches during this time on the invitation list: Mark, Qiao Le and Lin Xiao. Fortunately, the latter is still busy with blind dates, and his sister takes care of everything. She still went through the motions a little and sent out the invitation.

Next is Qiao Le, Jia Yi almost trembled and sent out the invitation text message, in order to ease the previous stalemate, Jia Yi specially added a playful tone to the text message.

"To Jole:

The flower girl is about to open for a trial opening, before the opening, I want to invite you and Xiaoyin to participate in the pre-opening party, next week's weekend, the specific time will be determined! Busy people must take time to come~

Jiayi"

Pressing the send button, Jia Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

It didn't take long for Qiao Le to reply, with a short line: "Okay, I'll see you then." ”

Jia Yi couldn't help but laugh, such a fast reply speed and this relaxed tone were obviously not Qiao Le's style, and it was Xiao Yin who was playing with Qiao Le's mobile phone again.

She breathed a sigh of relief again and said, "Anyway, another one has been solved." ”

She didn't know why she used the word "solve," as if she had blurted out the familiarity of the notes in front of her desk and crossed out the agenda items in her notebook when she was in Beijing.

But she regrets that the hardness of the word "solve" makes her seem ruthless, but it is undeniable that it gives her great courage in the next matter of inviting Mark.

"Go fix this." She said.

Sure enough, with such a belief, she tried her best to control her feelings, and tried her best to make her voice sound relaxed and natural on the phone.

- She never thought of him when she woke up in the middle of the night, she never lost her mind when she heard his name come out of someone's mouth, she didn't panic when she heard "The Man in the Trench Coat", she didn't dig her nails into her flesh every time she thought of him, she didn't ......

But the more she controlled, the more intermittent the communication between the two became, until Mark asked, "Are you okay?" She was completely dumbfounded, and the wind blew in her ears again that night, and she came to her senses, covered the phone and shook her head, saying, "It's not going to be better for a while, but ...... I'll do my best, you don't have to worry, so be sure to come! ”

"Of course, I will definitely go."

"That'...... Good bye. ”

"Well, goodbye."

……

The party was scheduled for Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Flower Girl.

Yuanyuan and Xiaoya had already arranged the upstairs and downstairs, and Jia Yi had prepared the snacks and drinks early, several of which were new products to be launched in the store, and she proudly placed the food on the plates.

The neighbors in the apartment also came to help in advance, Xiaoqi, a girl from Xi'an, made a few pasta snacks, Aunt Li also brought the pastries baked at home, Guo Rui was busy taking pictures, and Zheng Feng, who took the time to come over, contributed several boxes of his company's ace sales product, cocktails.

After a while, Qiao Le and Xiao Yin came over, as soon as they entered the door, Xiao Yin attracted everyone's attention, she was wearing a black sequined puff skirt, a big red satin bow on her head, completely a little witch dress, in stark contrast to Qiao Le in a straight suit next to her, as soon as she entered the store, she shouted in amazement: "Oh my God, it's really a shop, Sister Jiayi, you really did it!" ”

Jia Yi couldn't help but smile when she heard her admiration, and walked to the door to greet them, saying, "It's finally here, welcome!" ”

Before Jia Yi left, Qiao Le handed over the gift and said sternly: "I wish the store a smooth opening!" The low air pressure he brought made the atmosphere of the three of them extremely awkward for a while, Jia Yi was at a loss for a while, but fortunately Xiao Yin saw the opportunity to act, and laughed and pulled Qiao Le upstairs.

Just when Jia Yi was inexplicably puzzled, someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind.

She immediately realized who the person was, but she didn't turn back immediately, the corners of her mouth smiled proudly, her hand slowly stretched out to her waist, suddenly turned around, and directly aimed her fist at Gao Qu's abdomen, making a slamming appearance, but her hand hit a ** box in mid-air, and she was instantly injured, the back of her hand was a little red, and Gao Qu behind her was caught off guard, but the most nervous thing was her almost injured hand, so she hurriedly grabbed it and looked at it, asking, "Is it hurt?" ”

Qiao Le, who was standing on the second floor, happened to see this scene - her hand was grabbed by another man, and she just laughed as if nothing happened.

"It's a gift, you don't want it, do you?" Gao Qu whispered accusatory.

Jia Yi smiled and pretended to rub his injured hand, but took advantage of Gao Qu's inattention to snatch the gift, and then quickly took a few steps back, holding the gift and said, "Hmph, not satisfied, pay for the medical expenses!" ”

"If you are not satisfied, you can only promise it by yourself!" Gao Qu stepped forward provocatively and said jokingly.

Jia Yi laughed again.

Qiao Le heard their conversation clearly, his eyes were fixed in one place, his lips were tightly closed, his breathing became rapid and irregular, and he could even faintly hear the sound of his upper and lower teeth rubbing.

No one saw this except him, as he had done for her many years ago, and no one cared......

University campuses.

Jia Yi wanted to open it when she got the gift, but Qiao Le immediately stopped her and said, "Go back and open it, it's embarrassing to open it in person!" ”

Jia Yi pouted: "You opened my and Yuanyuan's gifts in front of you, why don't you let me open them?" It can't be a gift that you can't get your hands on, right? Hmph, I'd like to see how deep our friendship is! ”

When she pretended to tear open the package, Qiao Le immediately snatched the gift from her arms, and quickly bounced it away, and said to her: "Or, you come and grab it, I will give you whatever you want, how about it?" ”

"I want Soda Green's concert tickets, will you give them?"

Qiao Le touched the back of his head and nodded solemnly: "Give!" However, let's talk about grabbing it! ”

Jia Yi didn't need to go forward to grab it immediately, she sat on the chair for a while, and then suddenly rushed towards Qiao Le, Qiao Le thought that she deliberately took advantage of her inattention to launch a fierce attack, of course, vigilantly raised the gift.

Jia Yi tried to jump a few times but couldn't get it, but he could only look at Qiao Le with a smug face.

Suddenly jumping for the last time, when Jia Yi's body was almost about to pounce on him, he suddenly turned sideways, which undoubtedly made her pounce, she fell to the ground without accident, he immediately crouched down, and he didn't care about the gift, but his free hands did not dare to touch her.

Just when he was distressed and hesitant, Jia Yi stood up flexibly, picked up the gift and ran to the side, she quickly opened the gift, and the box was actually two soda green concert tickets, she jumped up happily, while Qiao Le was still squatting on the ground, his hands were still empty, but he didn't know when he clenched into fists and clenched fiercely......

Time went back to the present, and still no one saw him, his hands clenched tightly, and his muscles flared up.

Jia Yi invited Gao Qu upstairs, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Qiao Le who was looking at her, her eyes were staring, and her eyes seemed to be in the abyss, and she instinctively took a few steps back.

"Let's go." Gao Qu deliberately pulled Jia Yi upstairs in front of Qiao Le with a smile on his face.

After the two went upstairs, Gao Qu took the initiative to greet Qiao Le, but Qiao Le didn't react at all, and only asked Jia Yi coldly: "When does the party start?" ”

"Hmm...... 7 o'clock. ”

Qiao Le looked at his watch, and asked in a questioning tone, "Why is it that it's 7:15 a.m., but your time hasn't reached 7 o'clock yet?" Isn't your time always faster than mine? ”

Jia Yi knew that he had something to say, and it was not good to argue with him in person, so she only approached him slightly and said, "Qiao Le, I'm sorry, if there is something, let's talk about it after the party, okay?" ”

Qiao Le didn't answer, and turned his head to the side not to look at her.

Gao Qu also felt strange when he looked at the two, he lowered his head and asked his cousin beside him, saying, "Did the two of them quarrel?" ”

"Probably, he was not happy when he answered Yuanyuan's call......"

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know how to know their past."

"What if it has anything to do with you?"

"How is it possible, I have nothing to do with them."

While she was talking, Xiaoya suddenly entered the store with a cheer, and as soon as she entered the door, she shouted loudly: "Welcome to the shop with the person in charge of our Sheng Commercial Center!" ”

She took the lead in applauding, and the other people around her were still out of the situation, but thinking that the big name was also a guest, she also applauded with Xiaoya. Gao Qu saw Sheng Fuyang on the second floor, Sheng Fuyang also seemed to be searching for him, the two met their eyes, Gao Qu held the wine glass in his hand towards him, and Sheng Fuyang smiled lightly.

"He actually came." Gao Qu couldn't help but think.

Not only Sheng Fuyang, Jiang Yuan and Lin Xiao next door also came, it was almost half an hour since the party was scheduled for 7 o'clock, but Jia Yi was still wandering outside the door, and Yuanyuan in the house came to ask "Is it going to start?" ”

Jia Yi looked at the clock on the wall, and then looked at the people who had been waiting around for a long time, and when she looked around, she accidentally collided with Qiao Le's eyes again, she quickly retracted her gaze and fixed her mind: "Let's start, don't wait." ”

Everyone gathered from all corners one after another, toasting, celebrating, admiring and blessings, and Jia Yi's face was reflected in the light, drunk and excited, because of this special night.

She ate and drank with the others, but her eyes were still fixed on the clock on the wall from time to time.

Qiao Le saw that Gao Qu had been staring at Jia Yi, and after he drank the wine in the cup, he deliberately brushed Gao Qu's shoulder under the pretext of going out to breathe, and motioned to go out together.

Gao Qu followed knowingly, "What's wrong?" He asked, surprised.

Qiao Le stood in front of the wall in the backyard of the store, and the mottled darkness of the night was projected onto the wall little by little, connecting Gao Qu's slender figure.

He didn't look back, only asked lightly: "Gao Qu, what is the relationship between you and Jiayi?" ”

"What relationship can we have?" Gao Qu replied amusedly.

Qiao Le turned around angrily and shouted at Gao Qu, "It doesn't matter? Why do you want to lend 50,000 yuan to Jiayi to open a store? Are you all familiar with each other? ”

"Borrowing money? Are you kidding? When did I lend her $50,000? ”

"It's not to borrow money, so you just gave it directly, and gave her money directly to open a store?"

Gao Qu was even more inexplicable, Qiao Le questioned him like crazy, he didn't want to continue the conversation, so he said: "I didn't give her money, you'd better ask her directly about this inexplicable thing." ”

"I'll ask her, of course, but before I do that I want to ask you." He grabbed Gao Qu's collar and almost roared, "Gao Qu, I warn you, you can play with any woman, except her!" Don't think that these few broken money can buy anything, stay away from her! ”

Gao Qu laughed a few times, thinking to himself that Qiao Le was so sick, how could Xiao Yin like such an irrational man.

Xiao Yin......

Xiao Yin borrowed 50,000!!

Gao Qu immediately thought of something, but it was still a fog right now.
