Chapter 40: Humiliation

Such a question is really complicated for her. It takes a lot of words to explain it clearly. She knew it in her heart, but she couldn't say it.

From childhood to adulthood, there was never a shortage of girls of the same age around her. Most of them are very enthusiastic, and there are many people who deliberately flatter and please her. When her brother Gu Xinian was there, they were especially enthusiastic about her. But when no one else was present, they would change as if they were human beings, and look at her with a little pity and contempt.

It's like looking at a monster.

She didn't like them, so she had no friends.

But Ye Qinglan is different. When Ye Qinglan looked at her, there were no complicated calculations in her eyes, only friendliness and gentleness. The smile is warm and bright, making people feel at ease and comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

She likes Ye Qinglan.

Gu Xiyu thought seriously for a long time, and Gu Xinian was not in a hurry, so he waited patiently. After a long time, Gu Xiyu opened her mouth and said, "Big brother, can I be friends with her?" ”

Gu Xinian's eyes quickly flashed a glimmer of light, but the smile on his face became more and more gentle: "Of course." As long as Yu'er likes it, it's fine. ”

Gu Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and a small smile appeared on the corner of her lips. Although the smile was not obvious, it was a rare joy for her.

Gu Xinian looked at his only sister with pity, and a series of complicated feelings flashed in his eyes. However, the gaffe was only instantaneous, and he soon regained his former mildness and calm.

Ye Qinglan naturally didn't know about this.

At this moment, she was walking out of Luomei Courtyard and towards Changhetang with Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan.

I don't know what both of them were thinking, but they didn't speak on the way, and they were all on their minds. Occasionally glance at each other, but they all quickly look away.

The atmosphere was so awkward, Ye Qinglan was naturally interested, and deliberately walked slower, falling behind a lot.

If the two of them were going to say something, this was a great opportunity. At this time, it is extremely important for men and women to be harmed, and it is not common for them to have the opportunity to be alone like this.

Changhetang was getting closer and closer, and the sound of silk and bamboo came faintly. Obviously, the troupe has already started singing.

Zheng Junyan finally made up his mind and stopped: "Cousin Qingning, I have something to say to you." ”

Ye Qingning's face was not very good-looking, but he also stopped and looked at Zheng Junyan directly: "Cousin has something to say, you might as well say it directly, you don't have to be so babbling." ”

The maids were all clever and knowledgeable, and they had already retreated. Zhixia also went to the intersection and stood there, so as not to have idlers and others overhearing the master's conversation.

Ye Qinglan was naturally more knowledgeable, and she had already turned to the side, pretending to appreciate the flowers and plants on the side of the road. However, her ears have always been sensitive, and the voices of a pair of boys and girls who are frozen over there have penetrated into her ears word for word.

Zheng Junyan said his heart in one go: "Cousin, we have grown up together since childhood, and we are like brothers and sisters. I don't have to hide it in front of you, I just say it directly. Actually, all I have always liked in my heart is my cousin Xiyu......"

"Cousin, you're on the wrong page! You should go and talk to Cousin Xiyu about these words, and tell me what to do with this. Ye Qingning replied coldly, his face was very ugly.

Ye Qingning's mood at the moment was naturally very bad.

She has always secretly admired Gu Xinian, but she knows very well in her heart that it is extremely unlikely that she will marry into the Dingguo Mansion. In order to settle for the second, marrying his childhood sweetheart's cousin Zheng Junyan is also a good choice.

I never thought that Zheng Junyan would have a sweetheart......

He chose this moment to say this, and apparently there was something to come.

Sure enough, I heard Zheng Junyan say embarrassed and apologetically: "Don't be angry, I don't mean anything else." It's just that my father and mother seem to be interested in discussing the relationship between the two of us with my aunt, so I want to ...... I want to ......"

Ye Qingning took a deep breath, straightened his waist, and said expressionlessly, "What do you want?" ”

The next words were really a little difficult to say, Zheng Junyan hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "I want to find a suitable opportunity to tell my father and mother what I want." I hope my cousin won't be surprised! ”

Ye Qingning tried hard to suppress his anger, and responded with a stiff expression: "This is your business, you can do what you like, it has nothing to do with me." ”

It is a great humiliation to encounter such a thing before you have even decided to marry.

Ye Qingning has always been a very proud girl, and she has a very high self-esteem, so she never expected to encounter such a shame today. The seven orifices who were already angry in her heart were smoking, but she still had to maintain her pride on her face. Never refuse to show weakness in front of Zheng Junyan.

Zheng Junyan didn't know her temper, and when she saw her pretty face being unusually pale, she felt a little apologetic: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Actually, you're a very good girl, and you're bound to meet better boys in the future......"

"Of course." Ye Qingning said without thinking: "I will definitely marry someone who is ten times better than you in the future." ”

Zheng Junyan didn't know what to say, and stood there embarrassed and helpless.

Ye Qingning didn't even want to look at him again, and shouted: "Tenth sister, the troupe has already started singing, let's hurry up and go over to join in the fun." ”

Ye Qinglan "justly" finished appreciating the flowers, responded with a smile, and walked over as if nothing had happened. She just didn't pay attention to the strange condensation atmosphere between Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan, and said with a smile: "Is Cousin Zheng going with you too?" ”

"No need." Ye Qingning rushed coldly and said: "He still has important things to do, how can he be in the mood to watch the show." Let's go! As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Ye Qinglan hurriedly followed, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but when she saw Ye Qingning's ugly face, she decisively chose to be silent.

At this moment, it is estimated that Ye Qingning will not listen to anything. Don't touch this nail.

The stage was set up in the garden outside the flower hall, and the ladies sat together in twos and threes. The babbling and singing on the stage are endless, and there are actually few people listening carefully in the audience. Most of them are whispering to people they know.

There were many girls who were familiar with Ye Qingning, and they nodded to her one after another. Ye Qingning was in a very bad mood, but he had to squeeze out a smile and respond one by one. The smile was naturally a little stiff. Fortunately, everyone was accustomed to Ye Qingning's arrogant temper, and no one noticed anything unusual.

Ye Qinglan swept her eyes and saw the Zheng family.

Zheng and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, sat in the front row, and there was Mrs. Zheng next to them, and the three of them didn't know what they were talking about, but they all smiled. Mrs. Xu saw Ye Qingning out of the corner of her eyes, and immediately smiled and beckoned Ye Qingning to come over.

Ye Qingning hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and passed.

Ye Qinglan was in the mood to watch a good show, and quickly followed.
