155 He shall be perfect
The wedding dress brought by Peng Jiade is more exquisite than the original set, the style is simple and generous, and many places are mixed with geometric factors, which are both novel and chic, and can better take advantage of the bride's figure.
He watched the dress-fitting girl help me arrange the wedding dress, and with a critical eye focused on my chest, he said to the girl: "Tighten the chest and waist a little more, put the tail ten centimeters longer, replace the headdress with diamonds, and pearls do not match her temperament." β
The girl who tried on the costume was quickly memorizing it while making revised marks on her waist and chest with colored pins. Peng Jiade looked me up and down a few more times, and suddenly said, "I haven't seen you for a while, why has your temperament changed so much?" β
I was stunned by his words, and I couldn't help but reach out and touch my chin, looking at myself in the big mirror. Have your facial features changed? The eyebrows are colder, and the eyes are more cold? Or is the chin more pointed? Yellower?
"Your temperament is like that of a warrior now, and you don't have the sweetness and softness of a bride who is about to enter the wedding temple. I have seen many brides, and even some wedding models have pink heart-shaped bubbles as soon as they put on their wedding dresses, which is rare like you. As he spoke, he circled around me casually, stretched out his hand and pointed to a ribbon decorated around his waist and said, "Remove this, He Liancheng's favorite things are good, but they are all a little nondescript together." β
"He's not a professional designer, so he's not as visionary as yours." I looked at myself in the mirror and said.
Except for the chest and waist, which are slightly wider than a centimeter, the wedding dress is perfect in other places, and the wedding dress made of silk organza fabric is extravagant. The veil and gloves are decorated with flawless round rice beads, which are not too big or too small. If the pearls used in the decoration of these details are too large, it will inevitably rob the guests of the glory of the wedding dress. It is too small to match such fabrics and designs. In my opinion, this wedding dress is already perfect!
However, Peng Jiade pointed to the hand-decorated millet beads and said that this is not suitable for my temperament, and I really don't understand that I want to replace them all with diamonds.
He looked at the people in the mirror and said to the little girl who was trying on the costume: "All the diamonds are made of ten diamonds, anyway, He Liancheng took the check to me, saying that this wedding dress must be genuine, and it is not allowed to be fooled with diamond crystals." If I do use pearls, I'm worried that I won't be able to spend all of my money. β
"You don't need to change it, it's already very good." I'm busy talking. I know that the price of ordinary millet beads is not very high, but the perfect one is much more expensive. For this wedding dress, I think the pearls alone are enough to order another one.
"Pearls are for little women, and you're not a little woman now." Peng Jiade said unceremoniously.
"It's really unnecessary, it's already good, so many ten-point diamonds are too expensive, and it's too extravagant to match this wedding dress." I shook my head and firmly disagreed. Who knows what this wedding will be, and He Liancheng wants to use the grandeur of the early stage to contrast my future fate?
I know He Liancheng doesn't have much money now, is he going to do everything to hold such a wedding?
"Boss, this is pure silk yarn imported from Italy, and royal weddings are made of this material. What is worthy, besides, He Liancheng said that he will collect this wedding dress after you wear it, and he is willing to spend as much as he wants. He gave me this number! Peng Jiade gestured to me.
I was taken aback and asked, "What is the budget for the whole wedding, did he say that?" β
Peng Jiade's face finally changed, he didn't answer my words, and said to the little girl who tried on: "You help her change the wedding dress first, and send it back for revision immediately." Don't let anyone else handle it, you can't make a mistake for me. With that, he walked out and closed the door.
Before the girl helped me change my wedding dress, she said, "Your fiancΓ© is so good to you, few men are so attentive to wedding dresses." I've never seen a bride not pick out her own wedding dress, you guys have a really good relationship. β
She used two "really good" in one sentence, but I was speechless, and my heart was like eating Coptis chinensis, and I couldn't say the bitterness. How will the wedding prepared by He Liancheng end with negative energy?
After the girl left, Peng Jiade poured himself a glass of water and sat on the sofa, looked at me and asked, "What's wrong with you two?" The atmosphere is weird. β
"It's nothing, get married, he has a bit of premarital syndrome, and I have it too." I took a sip of water to hide my uneasiness.
"Dare to take me for a fool? I asked him, and he didn't say; Ask you, and you don't say; What do you want to do? Is there going to be the biggest farce of the day? Peng Jiade touched his jacket pocket, took out a box of crumpled cigarettes, lit it and took a puff and said, "I stayed up for a few nights for this wedding dress, but I didn't go home to sleep. If you don't tell the truth, I won't be able to get out of the dress. β
"It's really okay, you've thought too much." I pretended to smile lightly and said, "The reason why I didn't know about this qiΔ was because he said he was going to give me a big surprise, so I went to prepare this qiΔ quietly." β
Peng Jiade's face was full of suspicion: "I haven't seen anything awkward preparing for the wedding, so I kind of believe that what you said is true." However, when you see this wedding dress that he has carefully prepared, you don't have the kind of surprise that you encounter. β
"I ...... I was pleasantly surprised. "I kept saying that as long as he believed in one point, I would find a way to give him ten.
It's not that I don't tell Peng Jiade about the matter between us, but it's that it's not appropriate for me to say it. He is He Liancheng's little confidant. I don't know why He Liancheng didn't mention anything about it, and if I said it, it would be just my unilateral conjecture. Peng Jiade coupled with his own understanding, if he secretly arranged some actions to help us, it might make things even more chaotic.
I'm ready for the worst, and after getting married, he will have another grand divorce, and then make this feeling perfect. Perhaps in his consciousness, only in this way has a beginning and an ending can he be worthy of his character.
"You were oversurprised, and I can pretend to believe it. But when you mentioned He Liancheng, the corners of your eyes and eyebrows were full of affection, how can you change your cold route now? Am I really a fool? Peng Jiade took a deep puff of his cigarette, looked at me and asked.
His tone is very ordinary, the speed of his speech is very slow, but his logic is clear and reasonable. It was only at this moment that I felt that there was no one in He Liancheng's circle who was easy to fool. Peng Jiade's easy-going and careless past was just a fake. People like them have their whole body tentacles wide open when they encounter serious things, and they are sensitive to a certain extent. It's so hard to fool them or fool them.
"I don't know." I shook my head and refused to admit it.
"Le Yi, as a friend who has grown up with Lian Cheng since childhood, I have a few words I want to say to you, don't mind." He extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray and looked at me.
"You say, I don't mind." I looked at him with my cup in my arms, and my expression was extraordinarily calm. Since he said it so solemnly, there must have been some very direct words, and I was mentally prepared for nothing to listen to now.
He stopped talking, thought for a moment before saying, "No matter what you do, don't be sorry for him." He said that he suddenly stood up, "I won't say more, you can stop it." β
With that, he got up and left, and I could guess what he was trying to say. He Liancheng grew up with him since childhood, he should know He Liancheng's character best, and now he has changed so much for me, he must have wanted to say that he didn't expect He Liancheng to really choose me.
Peng Jiade has expressed this meaning more than once, and he thought that why Liancheng was just a freshness for me for a while, and the freshness would be over after it passed. I didn't expect that because of all kinds of coincidences, this freshness lasted for so long, so long that we all began to change our personalities.
After sending Peng Jiade away, I rushed directly to Shen Mo's date.
In comparison, I am more nervous about Shen Mo, he is like a hidden killer, as long as he jumps out and shows his face, someone is going to be unlucky.
Gyeonggi Province is close to Xidan, and in an old-fashioned residential area, I found Courtyard 13, which has a small gray brick three-story building, and got out of the car and walked in to see Shen Mo standing by the flower bed in the courtyard.
He was smoking in a neat white suit, standing sideways, watching the moon in full bloom in the flower bed. The slanting sun shone on him through a tall Chinese locust tree, and the stars of warm yellow orange light covered his upper body. His figure was stretched long at his feet, and at that moment there was a sense of sadness for a twilight beauty.
It was the first time I had seen him smoke and I could tell from his movements that he didn't smoke very often.
When I walked up to him, he looked up at me, then extinguished the cigarette in the flower bed, and said to me, "It's coming pretty fast." β
"I can't afford to receive your big gift every time, so I don't dare to delay." I said with a smile.
He smiled lightly, and said helplessly on the corner of his mouth: "I suddenly regretted it, let's exchange this gift for 300,000 in cash." β
"Then I'll see if it's worth it." I say.
"No, I gave you 300,000 cash in exchange for this gift that was originally intended for you. What do you think? He said as he led me inside.
"You never regret making a move, it's all a decision made after thinking about it, is this incident not good for you?" I understood what he meant, but at the same time I was even more confused.
He didn't speak, and the smile on the corner of his mouth retracted. By this time we had reached the entrance of the building, and a waiter had opened the old-fashioned wooden door and let us in.
This restaurant is decorated in the style of the Republic of China period in the 50s of the last century, with pure solid wood decoration, large antique leather sofas, and even the curtains are entangled flowers and vines and velvet standing up to the sky.
When he came to the reserved place and sat down, he raised his hand and called the waiter and said, "Add an extra bottle of red wine, and ask your boss to keep it private, and the rest will be as usual." β
The restaurant environment is very quiet, I don't know where the soothing lyrical music came from, I haven't heard this tune, I just feel lazy with a trace of tiredness.
"Did you marry He Liancheng voluntarily this time? Or is it forced to be helpless? I really don't want to give you this gift, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it, and I'm afraid that He Liancheng won't be able to accept it. However, I don't send it, I'm afraid He Xiao will send it. Shen Mo picked up the European-style golden-edged bone china tea set and poured me a cup of black tea, handed it to me and said, "Ceylon black tea should suit your appetite, drink a cup first?" β
I was already shocked by his first words, where do I still have the heart to drink tea. The meaning of his words is very clear, there is one thing he knows He Xiao also knows, if he doesn't say it in advance, He Xiao will also give it to me and He Liancheng as a big gift
