"It's nothing, I'm just asking, because I just got my coffee and went to the office to look for you, but I found that you weren't there, so I wanted to call and ask to make sure you were safe." At the moment, he did carry two cups of coffee packed from Starbucks and stood at the door of his office to call her.

Not disappointed, after all, it was his own initiative.

Although she wanted to say that he was more strict than usual, Tang Luoran didn't want to misinterpret the kindness of others, she hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you when I left." ”

"It's okay, and I also forgot to tell you something, you did a very good job today, and once again let me see your strength." Jiang Hanchen praised generously, his attitude was quite sincere, not like with an impure purpose.

In fact, he called her to praise her, saying that it was just an excuse to confirm her safety.

What a lame reason.

Since his attitude was so generous, Tang Luoran simply accepted it generously.

She hung up the phone in a hurry, then grabbed the mobile phone and returned to the car, only to close the car door, her hand didn't grasp the steering wheel, the mobile phone rang again, she subconsciously thought it was Jiang Hanchen.

Fortunately, she didn't answer directly, and immediately looked at the caller ID - Fu Zichen's phone.

To pick up or not to answer?

She chose the former, and almost subconsciously pressed the connect button, after all, in the past five years, he has rarely called her, and she has typed his number over and over again, but has never broadcast it once.

Usually when he calls, it is for the official affairs of the Fu family or the Tang family, and they need to be followed one after another. Come forward and make a show.

Sticking the phone to her ear, Tang Luoran was still a little apprehensive in her heart, she knew that what she was most worried about was hearing Yin Zi's voice on the phone - it meant that the two of them were together at the moment.

What would that look like?

Knowing that she would be unable to help but think cranky, she didn't want to hear it in the first place.

"You should know that the Tang family has a dinner, did your father let you attend?" As soon as Fu Zichen spoke, from the indifferent tone and unfamiliar attitude, she could tell that he had something ugly to say.

It's a pity that her heart has long been numb, and she has endured the gossip, is she still afraid of slander this time?

"Got it."

Tang Luoran responded lightly, and suddenly remembered that her father asked her to tell Fu Zichen about this matter, although she later asked her father to talk to Fu Zichen in person, but she was not sure whether he did it, so she asked rhetorically.

"Dad should have asked you to attend, he asked me to talk to you."

It's ridiculous, it's been five years, and Fu Zichen and her father have only met a few times.

No matter how dull her father is, he should be able to see that her life in the Fu family is not so satisfactory, otherwise she would not be so unfamiliar to this extent.

Father didn't say it, she understood it was for her sake - but he didn't want to embarrass her.

But she had already become embarrassed.

As soon as he wanted to open his mouth to mention the divorce, who knew that Fu Zichen was the first to take the lead, he sneered, noncommittal to her words, "You finally can't help it, and now you think of me?" I think it's only at this time that you need me. ”

Sling the bull!

Clenched her fists, Tang Luoran suddenly became angry, she was not a fool, how could she not understand the meaning of his words?

"I didn't mean that, and neither did Dad, whether you believe it or not, I'll say that." Her attitude is simple, after all, it is about reputation, and no one wants to be wronged for no reason.

She didn't want to side with him and rely on his identity to win glory for the Tang family.

All she wanted was Fu Zichen's love, but she didn't expect that she was very wrong to think so.

It's rare to call her, but it turns out to mock her.

I knew that I shouldn't have answered this call, and I was secretly annoyed in my heart, but on the bright side, Tang Luoran still had to take the words hard, "Then you, are you coming tonight?" ”

In fact, she didn't force him to come, after all, she didn't have any hope from the beginning.

Sure enough, the only answer she waited for was silence, and the only thing on the other end of the phone was his calm breath, except for the sizzling phone interference tone.

The silence was like a bottomless abyss of despair, and she fell into it, and there was no way out of it.

She had become disillusioned with him.

"Aren't you quite capable? Why didn't you use all kinds of tricks on me like you did back then? After he said that, he hung up the phone suddenly, so that Tang Luoran didn't even have a chance to refute.

Back then, she was only desperate to entangle with him because she loved him too much, and his state at that time was not something she could resist if she refused.

She loved him too much to choose this road full of thorns, but he was just a momentary confusion.

Thinking of the past, Tang Luoran already wanted to cry without tears, and now the most important thing is to go to the appointment, and there must be someone to go.

Before the charity gala hosted by the Tang family began, she went home and changed her clothes - the long skirt with a trailing tail set off her graceful figure, and the chiffon long sleeves were elegant, like the light color of the ink in the water covered the skirt, dignified and stylish.

At this time, it was late autumn, and the wind was blowing tightly outside, so before leaving, Tang Luoran asked the maid to go upstairs to get a leather jacket for her.

Because Yin Zi was not at home, the maid did not dare to complain about her orders, just because she was the real mistress of the Fu family.

Putting on a leather jacket, Tang Luoran took the clutch bag, walked from the living room to the entrance, the door was open for her, she walked out slowly, the cold wind blew her skirt, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

……

When Tang Luoran arrived at Tang's house, all the guests of the party had already arrived, and dozens of luxury cars were parked at the door of the villa.

Driving the Lamborghini into the yard, she turned the steering wheel and let the car into the garage - after all, it was her own family, and of course she had the right to do so.

As soon as she got out of the car, Tang Luoran bumped into Tang Tian, her only sister, head-on.

The unrelated sister in front of her was wearing a goose yellow dress, with a jewel necklace hanging from her chest, and as her figure swayed, the gemstone necklace emitted a dazzling light.

Compared with Tang Luoran, who is outstanding in appearance, figure and talent, Tang Tian is much inferior, she is handsome, she falls in love at a young age, she only knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and she knows how to be coquettish when something happens.

Even now that she has a boyfriend who is rushing to get married, her personality has not changed at all, but has become more arrogant and domineering.

And the hatred for Tang Luoran naturally climbed a degree.

"Yo, isn't this my sister? Aren't you a busy person, how do you have time to come back? The acerbic tone spat out her plump peach-colored lips, which was really inconsistent.

In front of Tang Luoran, she never concealed herself, and all her ugly faces were exposed.

Tang Luoran didn't feel anything about her attack, she glanced at Tang Tian coldly, and responded softly, "Dad specially called me to come over to attend the charity gala, how could I be absent?" ”

In fact, she doesn't like these parties, on the surface they are engaged in charity, but in fact they are just open and secret fights between politicians.

However, she is the daughter of the Tang family, and if she doesn't attend, she will lose face for her father, how can she disgrace her father?

Her attitude was quite clear, but she didn't want Tang Tian to sneer, and planned to quarrel with her, "Don't say that you are from the Tang family, you should never forget, you are just a dog raised by the Tang family!" You are not related to me by blood, which means that I am higher than you. ”

It's ridiculous!

At this time, Tang Luoran didn't want to talk to her about anything, the garage was cold and damp, the cold wind was blowing, and she was shivering, she just wanted to go in quickly and end it as soon as possible.

"It's good if you're happy." After that, Tang Luoran smiled, she walked around Tang Tian to the garage, not wanting to breathe the same air as her for a moment.

Crossing the courtyard and stepping up the marble steps, the high heels making a crisp sound on the ground, the maid stood at the door, opened the door for her, and bowed his head respectfully and greeted, "Welcome back, Miss." ”

The Tang family's financial resources and power are at most average in Jiangcheng, but thanks to Tang Luoran's blessing, those who want to befriend Fu Zichen have a more and more respectful attitude towards Tang's father.

In order to support the scene, the Tang family had to assume the posture of high society.

Nodding slightly, Tang Luoran strode out of her long legs, and her slender and white legs loomed in the swing of the hazy chiffon skirt.

As soon as Tang Luoran arrived, he instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Father Tang was the first to greet him, he was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, his face was slightly red, his eyebrows were kind, and his tone of voice was also slow, "You are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a while, and I thought you would not be free to come back." ”

She knew very well that her father was not doing this to take advantage of her status as Mrs. Fu, but not to make her feel like an outsider.

His intentions are good, in fact, she understands them in her heart.

"How so? You're my dad. Tang Luoran smiled, his eyes were bright, the atmosphere was harmonious, and he saw that the celebrities and politicians were about to rush up and stammer, but a sharp voice suddenly came from behind him, "My sister is here, why didn't I see my brother-in-law here?" ”

The delicate body shook suddenly, Tang Luoran paused, and then turned his head to look behind him - Tang Tian stood behind him, smiling a little proudly.

In any case, she just doesn't want to let go of this sister who is nothing better than herself.

As soon as she finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar, although she did not openly ridicule in front of Tang Luoran, but many whispers were piled up, buzzing in her ears like mosquitoes and flies, which annoyed her.

If it was before, Tang Luoran would definitely resist to the death to save face.

But now even she is desperate for this marriage, and she has lost the right to refute.

"He doesn't want to come, you can guess for yourself." Laughing gently, Tang Luoran treated it indifferently, she didn't hide it at all, and even felt troublesome when she lied, anyway, it was a fact that Fu Zichen was unwilling to come.

It was strange to say that he mocked her in every way, but he was noncommittal about it.

But she thought he wouldn't be willing to come to the appointment.

Tang Luoran's response was full of confidence, but it gave people the illusion that Fu Zichen couldn't come to the appointment because he was busy with official business, or he just disdained this kind of party, and he didn't think that there might be a problem with the relationship between their husband and wife.

But Tang Tian looked at it more carefully than anyone else, and she felt that things were not so simple.

After all, the negative news about Tang Luoran outside is spreading.

While Tang Tian was pondering, Tang Luoran took a glass of champagne from the serving plate in the waiter's hand, hid in the corner, and quietly looked at the smiling faces of those celebrity politicians in the hall under the Swarovski crystal chandelier.

She took a sip of champagne, the sweet liquid spreading out in her mouth.

As the saying goes, alcohol can temporarily paralyze a person's wounded soul, and she didn't believe it in the past, but now it seems to be true.

Attending as Mrs. Fu, she was still too eye-catching, and it was only a minute or two, and when she drank the champagne to the bottom, a middle-aged man walked towards her.

He stretched out his fat hand, smiled quite slyly, and spoke with a thick official tone, "Hello Mrs. Fu, I am fortunate to meet you, I am the deputy mayor of Jiangcheng, you can call me Vice Mayor Lin." ”

Inexplicable things like this happen from time to time, and Tang Luoran is used to it.

Politely stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, Tang Luoran raised his eyes and looked at him, the cunning light in his eyes was really hard to ignore.
