The cooperation of Jiangyuan's team is coming to an end, and in addition to settling the payment, Jiayi also has an important thing - to participate in the dinner!

Originally, this meal should have been invited by Jia Yi, but Jiang Yuan was very considerate of her as a woman's hard work in starting a business, so he insisted that it would be better for him to arrange it.

But she was thinking about Mark at the same time, so she cautiously asked Jiang Yuan: "Mark will come, right?" ”

Jiang Yuan still crossed Erlang's legs with a big grin, and deliberately quipped: "Do you want him to come?" ”

Jia Yi pursed her lips and said, "It's not me who invites you!" ”

Jiang Yuan smiled wantonly and said, "Now I will invite, but if you don't want him to come, of course you can't invite him." ”

Jia Yi said, "You did it on purpose, right? She guessed that Jiang Yuan had seen through her thoughts, after all, the worldly and sleek Jiang Yuan was not Guo Rui, and it was only a matter of time before he guessed it.

Jiang Yuan continued to exert his rough voice to the extreme, and said, "Say, what do you want us to do?" In addition to interior design and decoration, we also add matchmaker service! He winked at Jia Yi with a wicked smile on his face.

The dinner is also scheduled for the weekend, but the specific time has not yet been determined, and it is said that I want to ask the actor Mark about the arrangement first.

Jia Yi was secretly happy, but unfortunately there were still a lot of things waiting for her to do, but she was so upset about her weekend plans that she couldn't concentrate on her work after all, and the negotiations she had planned with several raw material suppliers were also delayed.

She had to go downstairs to chat with someone, and just happened to meet Guo Rui on a business trip to Shanghai, so there were only Aunt Li and Dajun and Lan Lan downstairs, Jia Yi curiously pointed to the dog playing in the garden, and asked, "Are Dajun and Lan Lan husband and wife?" ”

Aunt Li shook her head and said, "Of course not, they are sisters and brothers." ”

Jia Yi himself also thought it was funny and said: "Seeing that they are so close, I thought they were ......"

Aunt Li replied, "Can we grow up together without intimacy?" Speaking of which, dogs, unlike people, for them, they grow up with the most intimate, people, not the one who has joined hands for a lifetime to feel intimate. ”

"Does it make a difference?" Jia Yi couldn't help but ask.

Aunt Li pouted and said, "Of course there is, my parents and brothers will not accompany me for a lifetime." ”

Aunt Li actually thought of her wife who had passed away for many years, and took the opportunity to complain about her son who didn't come home all the year round, but the people who listened to it didn't have any emotion - Jia Yi was thinking of Mark, and she hoped in her heart that the person who would join hands for a lifetime.

The mobile phone suddenly vibrate, and it was a text message from Jiang Yuan: "The weekend dinner is scheduled for Saturday night, and Mark will be there!" ”

She was secretly overjoyed, and just as she wanted to laugh, she immediately frowned—Qiao Le's birthday party happened to be Saturday night.

Her face was so stiff that even the army rubbed her head against her and couldn't make her brow stretch.

The conflict between choices makes it a big gamble for any choice she makes, but it is clear that love is more in line with her expectations. If she is destined to sacrifice something for her long-awaited desire to turn it from fiction to reality, she is willing to add weight to love at the expense of friendship.

She wanted to have further development with Mark.

She immediately got up, bypassed the dogs frolicking around her, went upstairs and made three calls, first to Yuanyuan, then to Xiaoyin, and finally to Jiang Yuan to explain that she would go to the appointment on time.

After three phone calls, she was not as uneasy as she imagined, and seemed to have found a sufficient excuse for her selfishness - she didn't feel sorry for Qiao Le, absolutely not......

So, with the unexpected arrival of Saturday, Qiao Le didn't know the news that Jia Yi couldn't go to the birthday party, and sure enough, it was the right choice to tell Sù Xiaoyin, and she would help herself get the best time to tell Qiao Le.

Early in the morning, Jia Yi specially chose a blue dress from the wardrobe, and there is a Chinese-style knot button near the chest under the collar, when it is buttoned, it just makes the chest loom, and once the button is unbuttoned, then all the original ** and temptation are lifted, which is a woman's careful opportunity. This skirt has been in the closet for a long time, the style has long been outdated, it is usually only used in the dark night for Jia Yi to sullen, and now, it has also seen the light of day.

Jia Yi finally ushered in such a day, facing the man he loved deeply, he put down his arms without scruples.

7:00 p.m., Jole Apartment.

Xiao Yin and Qiao Le's friends were preparing for a birthday party very early, and Qiao Le was naturally happy when he returned to the apartment, but there were not many surprises - all the surprises he showed were just feedback for Xiao Yin's hard work in the afternoon.

But he still waited for a surprise with anticipation, and he kept looking at the clock on the wall, and then looked down at his watch repeatedly.

Yuanyuan came, but alone.

Qiao Le poked his head out of the house, then stared at Yuanyuan and asked, "What about Jia Yi?" ”

Yuanyuan was a little puzzled and said, "Didn't she tell you?" She said something was not coming. ”

Qiao Le didn't react for a while, but he didn't know that his voice was already a little unstable: "Not coming?" When did she say that? ”

Xiao Yin listened to Qiao Le's voice, and hurriedly walked to his side and said, "She told me, and she said that she was not coming for something." ”

Qiao Le couldn't contain the anger that had already ignited in his heart: "What did I tell you? Whose birthday is it? ”

Xiao Yin looked at Qiao Le, who scolded her angrily, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she couldn't help but ask uncomfortably, "Qiao Le, what do you mean?" ”

Qiao Le gasped and closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to see the qiē in front of him.

Xiao Yin's tears finally burst out of her eyes, and she choked up and said, "Qiao Le, you are too much. After speaking, he turned around and wanted to bump into Yuanyuan, and walked away sideways.

Yuanyuan hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yin, who looked aggrieved, trying to save the situation, while persuading: "Oh, Jia Yi opened a store, you also know, this may be because of the decoration and raw materials at any time, she can't be busy ......."

Qiao Le didn't listen to her, left Xiao Yin and Yuanyuan alone, and walked to the sofa alone and sat down.

The atmosphere of the birthday party began to become depressing, and the colleagues and friends of the company next to them didn't know what was going on, they only muttered quietly, and they were afraid that Qiao Le would hear it, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while.

Yuanyuan whispered to comfort Xiao Yin and pulled her to Qiao Le's side, but Xiao Yin was in a terrible mood, after all, Qiao Le hadn't been so fierce to her for a long time, the last time was because of Jia Yi, and this time it was because of Jia Yi, she couldn't tell how much she resented this woman in her heart, whether she appeared or not.

Yuanyuan also kept complaining about Jia Yi, she didn't expect Jia Yi to throw the stall to her and Xiaoyin like this, but fortunately, it was not the first day for her to be a peacemaker - she hurriedly held a birthday party with other guests.

At this time, Qiao Leqing was also a little more stable, he looked sideways at Xiao Yin, whose eyes were red and swollen and still angry, and he also felt indescribable guilt in his heart, no matter what, Xiao Yin was innocent, thinking of this, he was deeply apologetic, he shook Xiao Yin's hand tightly beside him, didn't say anything, and poured champagne with his other hand, just halfway through it, the doorbell rang.

His hand immediately lifted the bottle slightly, and the wine stopped its cheerful pace, and the world fell silent.

7:00 p.m., private room in the restaurant.

Jia Yi appeared at the table on time, Mark had already arrived, Jiang Yuan saw Jia Yi appear, pointed to his side, which was also the position next to Mark, and made a look, Jia Yi walked over knowingly, Mark got up and removed the chair for her.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

At this time, according to the original plan, Jiang Yuan immediately mobilized his colleagues and friends to coax, and Jia Yi's face turned red when he brushed the ground, but the room was dimly lit, and no one paid attention for a while.

In the face of everyone's coaxing, Mark didn't seem to care, just smiled slightly, took his wine glass, and took a sip.

Before the dish was served, Jiang Yuan mentioned that everyone should play a game, and those who lose should be punished, and as for what to punish, he will talk about it.

As soon as this mention was spoken, everyone was in favor of it, but there was an opposition voice - it was Mark, who only said that he was a game black hole, and deduced that his brain was tired of replanning for customers, and he was not suitable for playing games.

Everyone disagreed, Jiang Yuan even disagreed, the actor had all boycotted, how could this play continue, after all, he never felt that Mark was a "game black hole", but to his surprise, Jia Yi agreed at this time, she smiled and said: "Since Mark is destined to lose, wouldn't it be boring to let him participate?" ”

- Actually, it was Mark's interest that made her stage frightened.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly glanced at Jia Yi, but Jia Yi didn't see it, and continued: "Then do you want to start the game?" ”

Of course, Jiang Yuan insisted that the game continue, but only took advantage of the gap to lower his hair and send a WeChat message before officially announcing the start.

The game is to guess the fist and pass the chopsticks, very simple and crude, two chopsticks in two directions, two people guess the boxing, the winner will pass the chopsticks to the loser, the loser can only guess the win to pass it on otherwise the chopsticks have been in their own hands, two chopsticks converge in one direction, and finally the two chopsticks are in the hands of whoever at the same time, who will lose.

The result of the game was not surprisingly that Jia Yi lost, and Jiang Yuan confidently announced the punishment: "Either drink 3 cups, or find someone to help you resurrect." ”

3 cups? She didn't even eat anything when she first came in, she didn't have food to cushion her stomach, she didn't say 3 cups, she could lie down with one cup.

"Resurrection? How to resurrect? This is the first thing Jia Yi considers.

Jiang Yuan said proudly: "It's easy to resurrect! Find the person next to you, except for me, after all, I'm the referee, let him hold you and dance for a while. ”

How could such a low, vulgar idea come up with by a designer? But Jia Yi knew that Jiang Yuan was helping her, after all, the only person she could find help with was Mark.

But she turned her face to look at Mark, who was wiping his mouth with a tissue, completely oblivious to the eyes of the crowd gathering on him, as if he was celibate.

Suddenly, the silence and noise of the whole world mingled with her—so quiet at the dinner table, only her eyes were moving, she could clearly feel her own accelerated heartbeat, and she seemed to hear the sound of wine glasses breaking more clearly in her heart.

At this moment, it was as if a cold liquid was spreading from the bottom of her heart to her whole body, as if it was about to soak her.

7:30 p.m., Jole Apartment.

Hearing the doorbell, Qiao Le almost rushed over, he eagerly opened the door, but saw only one man - it was Gao Qu, he was leaning on the edge of the wall, holding a brown paper bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "Happy birthday!" Then he looked inside and said, "Has it already begun?" But seeing that Qiao Le was still standing at the door as if he had lost his soul, and he didn't want to let himself in at all, he asked again: "What, aren't you welcome?" ”

Xiao Yin, who was sitting on the sofa, heard her cousin's voice, and the haze just now was swept away in an instant, she also rushed to the door, and said happily, "Cousin, you are here, why are you not welcome, please come in!" ”

Qiao Le saw Xiao Yin coming over, but didn't say anything, so he had to get out of the way and sit on the sofa alone. Gao Qu looked around, and there were many people coming, but he didn't see Jia Yi.

Gao Qu couldn't help asking, "Why does it seem that there is one person missing?" As soon as these words were asked, the atmosphere fell back to the awkward calm just now.

Yuanyuan glanced at him, and seemed to say something in her mouth, but Gao Qu didn't hear it clearly.

Qiao Le ignored him, and continued to pour champagne into the glass. Looking at Xiao Yin, whose eyes were slightly red, Gao Qu instantly understood something, he should have comforted Xiao Yin and scolded Qiao Le fiercely, but he didn't, he also sat on the sofa, pushed the cup to Qiao Le, didn't say anything, Qiao Le didn't hesitate at all, and poured it easily.

The sound of the wine was clear, as if they could finally celebrate the moment of rediscovery, as if the birthday was for wine, not people.

Gao Qu was a little happy and a little disappointed.
