"Sister Jin, you have seen a lot of people. I want to ask you, have you ever heard of Xu Jing? ”

Sister Jin touched her chin and thought about it, shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it." He smiled ambiguously, "What, it's your little lover?" ”

Ji Tang said embarrassedly: "Almost." ”

"How much worse?" Sister Jin pursed her lips and smiled, "It's a good thing that I haven't heard of it." What kind of good man do you think I am familiar with? ”

Ji Tang thought that this was indeed the truth, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, but he still said: "Help me pay attention to Sister Jin in the future." ”

Sister Jin is quite humane, and she didn't ask her for details, only saying that if there was news, she would tell her. After all, the friendship is shallow, and Ji Tang didn't know that her words were a little polite, but he was a little relieved.

She advanced a little salary to Sister Jin and paid for a room in a nearby hotel.

Convinced that she wouldn't stay here for long, she didn't opt for a lower monthly rent. That meager amount of money changed hands and it was spent. This means that if she can't find Xu Jing in a short period of time, she will be reduced to sleeping on the street again.

"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge."

Ji Tang heartily threw himself into the soft little bed, and fell asleep peacefully after a while-

Early the next morning, Xu Mansion.

Xu Jingchen ran back, dressed in beige sportswear, and his black hair was sweaty and sticking to his forehead, which caused the maids to peep at frequently. He threw the white towel around his neck on the leather sofa.

"My little ancestor." Xu Ruxin was wearing a silk and satin embroidered cheongsam, just walked down from upstairs, picked up a white towel, and patted his back angrily, "Let people see it, if you want to say that our Xu family has no tutor." ”

Xu Jing didn't care, smiled at her, and asked, "Auntie is going out?" ”

"Mrs. Ma asked me to play a horse hanging. It's too early, so don't let her be so anxious early in the morning, she won't listen. Xu Ruxin said this, but her expression was eager to try, waiting to kill the Quartet, "Hey, don't think that her surname is Ma, she is very good at playing horses." A few more people lost my number. As he spoke, he proudly gestured two fingers.

Is that someone telling you to be okay?

Xu Jing smiled without saying a word, said goodbye, and went straight to the study.

"Wait a minute." Xu Ruxin stopped him, "Peng Ruhai came just now, early in the morning, he was fat and powdery, and it smelled bad, so I asked him to go to the yard." As he spoke, he showed a disgusted expression and sighed twice.

Peng Ruhai is the middle-aged fat man who stayed with him in Xianle Palace last night, the second-in-command of the Xu family's shipyard. Don't look at this person's stupid appearance of being timid and useless, in fact, his skills are not bad, and the father and son of the Xu family trust him very much. However, Xu's father let him do the secret things, and in the past, Xu Gongzi asked him to search for good food and fun.

But since Xu Jing changed his core overnight and his temperament changed greatly, he hasn't "aided and abused" for a long time, and at this time, he was carrying a Wen Jiàn folder full of information about the dancers of Xianle Palace, and he was really a little uneasy in his heart.

Xu Jing put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked into the garden slowly, sat under the parasol, and pointed to the opposite position, "Sit." ”

Peng Ruhai shrunk his head and sat down, pushing a stack of Wen Jiàn in front of him, "Sanshao, the information of the dancers of Xianle Palace is here." ”

Xu Jing raised his eyebrows coldly, "What about the hostess?" What about the one who washes the dishes and the one who wipes the table? When he said these jobs, his heart was stung slightly. What if she really suffered so much? Thinking of this, the excitement in my heart went low.

Peng Ruhai hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." It's all here. ”

Xu Jing quickly flipped through the information and asked, "Is there a surname Ji?" ”

"There's one." Peng Ruhai took out a piece of paper, "It seems to be called Ji Tang......"

Before he finished speaking, the paper in his hand was slammed by Xu Jing. Because of the excessive force, the back of Xu Jing's hand was cut by the edge of the sharp paper, and his hand holding the paper trembled slightly, and his pupils contracted.

Peng Ruhai was dumbfounded, swallowing his saliva and finishing his words, "Call Ji Tangxin...... Sanshao, you bleed. ”

Xu Jing calmed his face, crumpled the piece of paper, and threw it on the ground. The blood on the back of his hand splashed on the beautiful lawn of the Xu family, dripping into the dirt, but he seemed to be unconscious.

Peng Ruhai muttered in his heart, didn't this eldest young master faint blood before? I can cry like killing a pig when it hurts at all.

"Anything else?" Xu Jing finished reading all the texts, but still found nothing, and his face became worse and worse.

As soon as Peng Ruhai wanted to speak, he saw a maid trotting over in a hurry and said, "Young master, Miss Xia called to find you." ”

Xu Jing frowned, and said coldly: "Hang up!" ”

"This ......" The maid was very embarrassed.

"Why don't you go pick it up, maybe Miss Xia has something important?" When Peng Ruhai said this, his legs were trembling, because Xu Jing's eyes looking at him were too scary, as cold as a block of ice, so black that ink could drip out. But he stood in the position of the Xu family and had to persuade him.

After all, this Miss Xia is the fiancée personally picked by the deceased Mrs. Xu for the three young people. Although young people nowadays are not happy with their parents' orders and matchmakers, the deceased is the greatest, and even Xu Ruxin does not dare to interfere in the marriage of her precious nephew.

Xu Jing didn't lose his temper, stood up in silence, and went back to the house.

Peng Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief behind him. Xu's father always told him that Xu Jing was not worthy of himself, and Xu Ruxin was raised by Xu Ruxin to be a cowardly and useless soft appearance, and he would be a loser in the future. If you see the current three less, I don't know what complicated feelings it will be-

Xu Jing picked up the earpiece, and his voice was cold, "Hey." ”

"Xu Jing." A delicate female voice came from the other end of the phone, "When are you going to tell your aunt about us?" ”

"What's the matter with us?"

The girl was silent for a while, then suppressed her anger and said, "You don't dare to mention it at all, do you?" As I said, I don't like you and will never marry you. I have someone else I like, I hope your Xu family can take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage. ”

"Why do you want me to get out of the marriage instead of looking for another branch?" Xu Jing said lightly, "Do you have no mouth, or don't you have a brain?" Won't I beg your parents? ”

The girl was speechless for a moment, and blurted out, "What about my reputation?" ”

"The so-called reputation and reputation are all 'feudal dross' in your mouth, you are a progressive female student who advocates new-style marriage and free love, how can you be so narrow-minded?" Xu Jing finished lukewarmly, and was about to hang up the phone, but heard an exclamation on the other end, "Wait! ”

He asked expressionlessly, "Miss Xia, what else is going on?" ”

"I want to meet you, talk to you, and...... With my boyfriend. ”

"I'm only free tonight, in Xianle Palace, if you want to talk to me, come there to find me." The corners of Xu Jing's lips curled sarcastically, "With your boyfriend." ”

"You! How can you ...... What kind of place to go? Feed...... Feed! ”

Xu Jingli hung up the hand-cranked phone-

Xia Minyuan heard the sound of "tick tick" in the earpiece, and his heart was annoyed and aggrieved.

How dare Xu Jing treat her like this, is it because he rejected his courtship not long ago? But at that time, he kept saying that his sincerity to her could be seen by the sun and the moon. It's only been a few days, and it's become a cold talk? Sure enough, he is an unlearned, ridiculous and prodigal kid.

Xianle Palace...... Listening to his tone, he is a frequent visitor to that kind of place.

Fortunately, I have made up my mind to resist this feudal marriage to the death and marry the person I like.

"Min Yuan, what did that Xu Sanshao say?" The man next to her asked busily.

Xia Minyuan flattened his mouth and threw himself into his arms, his eyes red, "He said that he wanted us to go to Xianle Palace to find him." Isn't this a deliberate humiliation for me? I...... How can I get in there? ”

"Don't be afraid, I'll go with you." The man comforted, "I heard Shao Cai and them say that it is also a place for dancing and drinking, and it is not as terrible as you think." ”

Xia Minyuan raised his eyebrows, "Shao Cai said!" Shao Cai said! Do you just listen to Jiang Shao? Honestly, have you been there too? ”

"How could I? Don't you know me yet? He put his arms around her slender waist and said softly, "I only have Xia Minyuan in my heart, and I see that all the other women are 'except Wushan is not a cloud'." ”

Then she burst into tears and laughed, "If you dare to mess around outside, I will be like those village shrews and pull your hair off." These innocent words, spoken through her cherry mouth, not only did not have the slightest deterrent effect, but also were cute and tight.

He couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her on the lips.

"Bai Zifan, you must not bear me. If my parents knew that I had quit the Xu family without permission, they would definitely kick me out of the house. I'm only you......"

"No, your parents love you so much."

Xia Minyuan said in frustration: "Why not, you don't know how happy they are to be able to climb the marriage of the Xu family." Why can't they like a sincere and romantic man like you like me, instead of chasing things like money and power? ”-

Ji Tang wore an exaggerated performance costume like a peacock opening screen, standing behind the □□ and dancing with him. said it was a backup dance, but in fact, a group of girls kicked and circled, which was really not technical. And where she stood, in the darkest corner, there was not a trace of light.

She was very satisfied with that. After all...... Wearing ghost makeup and dancing like that or something, it's quite embarrassing.

After Ji Tang finished dancing, he heard the singer on the stage singing Bai Guang's "Without You", so he silently squatted behind the curtain and listened to it with relish.

"How would life be without you...... I don't care how high the sky is, and how thick the ground is. As long as you are with me, my life will live for you......"

Xu Jing, who was sitting in the audience, looked up as if he had a feeling. But the singer who shines under the light is obviously not the person he is looking for.

Tang Tang, where are you?

"Xu Jing."

He was shocked, and suddenly turned around, but what he saw was the embarrassed "Miss Xia".

The sparks under his eyes were extinguished in an instant, leaving only boredom and perfunctory. He played with the wine glass in his hand and said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and get out when you finish." ”
