When Jingru came over, Zhilan's face was not very good. Jingru asked, "Are you still unhappy about things in the theater?" The face is so bad? ”

Facing Jingru, Zhilan's thoughts surged, because he did not reject Li Shaowen's guilt towards Jingru, and he had the intention to fulfill them, so he made up his mind and said: "Sister, I met Li Shaowen just now." He said that if you want to wait for him, he promised to send us back after the show. ”

"Really?" Jingru's eyes lit up, "Good sister, you still remember your sister." ”

Zhilan looked at Jing Ru's expectant face and smiled lightly, thinking: Sister Ru, you have to seize the opportunity.

When the play was over, Li Shaowen didn't know what to say to his family, and he and Jingru were really allowed to go the same way with Li Shaowen.

Wan Xinqiao instructed Li Shaowen to leave first.

Li Shaowen saw that Zhilan pulled Jingru, put on a natural expression, walked up to them and said, "The car is outside, let's go, two young ladies." The three of them walked out of the gate of the Liyuan Pavilion together.

As soon as they got out of the gate, they saw Master Qi's car turning back, and the three of them saluted Master Qi, but the other party didn't care, and went into the garden in a hurry.

Standing in front of the car, Zhilan planned to create an opportunity for Jingru and Shaowen, and opened the front door first, intending to sit in. I didn't expect to be blocked by a pair of big hands. Zhilan looked up and saw that it was the driver Lao Chen.

"Miss Zhou, right...... Right...... Not great. You see, there are a lot of things in front of it, and you can't sit on people. Lao Chen's face was difficult, and there were indeed boxes stacked on the seat. Zhilan was inconvenient to embarrass him, so she had to obey Li Shaowen's arrangement. But she was unwilling, so she hurriedly stepped into the car first, wanting to vacate her place for Jingru.

"You did it on purpose?" At the moment when Zhilan bent down into the car, Li Shaowen, who pulled the car door for her, inadvertently floated this sentence in her ear.

Zhilan smiled politely, and Li Shaowen could see that there was a fox-like pride hidden in that smile.

Li Shaowen knew it in his heart, said a few words to Jingru, and then sat in the car. In this way, Shaowen sat next to Zhilan, as quiet as he was on the outside. Li Shaowen glanced back at Zhilan, as if responding to her.

Zhilan hated being so close to Li Shaowen, she wanted to open the car door, but she couldn't open it anyway, she couldn't help but glance at Li Shaowen, and was afraid that Jingru would see it, but fortunately Jingru was busy closing the right door and didn't care.

The car drove off. There was silence in the car for a while, and Li Shaowen broke the silence: "It's as quiet as you haven't officially introduced your sister to me." "Nonchalant tone.

Jing Ru thought, sure enough, he was not, and hurriedly introduced him: "This Zhou Zhilan, my cousin." ”

"Hello Sister Lan, first meeting." Li Shaowen's tone was smooth, and he also stretched out his hand to shake Zhilan's hand.

Zhilan glared at him and asked knowingly! Listening to his strange tone, knowing that he had the intention to tease, he still replied calmly: "Hello." ”

But she ignored his outstretched hand. Li Shaowen lightly retracted his hand. Just talk casually, the car has already driven some distance.

I only heard Li Shaowen tell the driver: "Drive to my uncle's house first and send Miss Jingru back." ”

"Yes." The driver replied.

Jingru was in this position, and wanted to chat with Shao Wen, but because of Zhilan's confusion, she couldn't open her mouth. She thought silently that anyway, Shaowen's cousin had already returned to Jiangcheng, and she would find more opportunities to go to her aunt's house to be alone with him in the future, so as soon as Shaowen mentioned sending her back first, she didn't object.

The three of them were silent all the way, Li Shaowen pretended to sleep, and his narrowed eyes were looking at Jingru with Lan, and Zhilan took it back in embarrassment. Looking at the scenery flashing outside the window, Jingru felt that the narrow space inside the car carried three thoughts. Zhilan is worried, he is worried, and the rest of Brother Shaowen is ethereal and incomprehensible. The three thoughts were entangled, converging into a condensation in this small space, and the atmosphere couldn't help but become solemn.

At this time, the driver, Lao Chen, broke the silence in his voice: "Miss Jingru, you have arrived at the house." ”

Jingru left her unwillingness in the car when she opened the car door, and turned back into the house step by step.

"I said last time that we'll see you again. Sure enough. When Li Shaowen said this, Shi Zhilan still silently looked at the back of Jingru entering the door, and did not respond.

"What are you looking at?" Shao Wen asked with interest, and he also looked out the window with Zhilan.

"Don't you really know what Sister Ru thinks?" Zhilan is a little quiet and uneven.

"Yes." It wasn't until he heard Zhilan's question that Shaowen moved his body out and leaned back in his chair easily.

"Got it, why don't you take the initiative?"

"Lan'er, as a lady, don't you know what to ask and what not to ask? I remember there is a saying that curiosity kills cats, so don't ask if you shouldn't be curious! Okay, after wasting so much time, you and I should get down to business. ”

"Straight to the point? The main topic is that we are not familiar enough to call me by my nickname, right? ”

"What does it matter. As I said, sooner or later you will be my man, you might as well adapt to it in advance. Li Shaowen's leisurely words seemed to be talking about the light things on the side.

"Hey! Don't think I'm a liar, you can make fun of me and belittle me, I'm not like a sister, I don't eat you. Zhilan's face flushed, but she was still clear-headed and clearly articulated.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now, there's nothing in Jiangcheng that I Li Shaowen can't get." Li Shaowen expressed the arrogant connotation in his words in a very light tone, which is really a huge contrast, the same as his people.

"Do you think that emotional matters are like your business? You're wrong, you don't know me at all. Zhilan said contemptuously, "What's more, you don't know how to respect me at all, I was in Mingji that day, I don't know how to drink, you have to force me to drink dry." ”

"Actually, I just teased you about what happened that day, and you can't stand the joke." Li Shaowen looked at her slyly, "Besides, I'm never afraid of difficulties, and solving problems is full of fun." Over time, I'm sure we'll get to know each other better, and you can point out what I'm not doing well, right? ”

"But I can't like you at all, I don't have any interest in knowing you. Why do you waste your time with me? After thinking about it, it is better to be open and honest, there are only two kinds of feelings, yes or no. With Jing as a precedent, she could not go down the path of "yes", but could only choose another path.

Li Shaowen stared at her for a long time, then suddenly grabbed her hand, approached her and said, "Lan'er, you don't know, how cute you are." I'm going to have to struggle to keep myself from holding you in my arms. ”

Zhilan stared at him with wide eyes. In her opinion, Li Shaowen's half-truths and half-truths are unpredictable. When I first met, she seemed to be very intimate, and she often fell behind in verbal confrontations, and there was arrogance in her bones hidden in her humility, and this person was not something she could afford to provoke.

"What a pair of jade hands, you are fascinated all over your body." Li Shaowen continued. He whispered softly as he brushed her sideburns through the shredded hair. He wished he could get any closer and he could kiss her on the cheek.

Hearing this, Zhilan suddenly had courage all around her, and she quickly withdrew her hand and pushed him away forcefully.

Not only that, but she also moved her body to the car window, deliberately keeping a distance from Li Shaowen, and said awe-inspiringly: "You have already taken the liberty to know?" You and I have only known each other for a long time, why are you making fun of me? ”

Li Shaowen looked at her with his arms crossed: "It's a little interesting." You know a lot of women who will sink into these compliments and confessions from me. I didn't expect you to be able to remain calm and courageous even though you were shy, which made me even more interested in you. ”

"I won't be tempted by you, you're the same as my eldest brother, but I look down on you by playing with girls by some means!"

"You'll know later that I'm different from your big brother. However, if you are willing to compare yourself to those women, I am not worth it for you. Li Shaowen said with a smile.

"You!" Zhilan was angry for a moment and glanced at him fiercely. Since she was always defeated in words, it was better to keep silent. She made up her mind not to say a word, so Li Shaowen didn't say much.

Drive to Zhou Mansion. Shaowen opened the car door like a gentleman, helped Zhilan out, and said with a smile: "Go back!" But I've watched a good show today, and I don't know how your aunt will react. ”

"What do you mean? What do you see today? ”

"Nothing, I'm just reminding you to be careful. I don't want you to slip up! Why don't I go in with you? Shaowen thought about it, and suddenly said with a serious face.

"Don't." Zhilan refused, "You and I should stop here." ”

"Well, be careful yourself." Li Shaowen was reluctant, but seeing her such a firm look, he was no longer reluctant.

"I know, thank you for sending me back today." Zhilan politely thanked him, turned around and walked to the door.

Li Shaowen didn't get into the car immediately, and didn't order the driver to drive until he saw her enter the gate.

There seemed to be a good aftertaste of incense powder in the car, and the driver drove Li Shaowen back to Zhihe Commercial Bank. He remembered that he saw the Zhou family brothers and sisters arguing from a distance in the theater, and he felt very interesting. From the first meeting of Ming Ji to the dispute in the theater, he has been paying attention to Zhilan, and directly refuted her eldest brother's face in public, which is true! Today, whether it is her image or personality, she makes him a little trance, and his original half-truths and half-truths suddenly changed to eight points of sincerity. But she couldn't hear it, or did she deliberately run away? A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Zhilan walked home slowly unconsciously, and the eldest lady was already sitting on the sofa in the hall waiting for her.

She just shouted mother-in-law when she entered the door. The eldest lady walked up to her quickly with an angry face, raised her hand and gave her a slap!

"Get on your knees! Do you still have my mother in your eyes, and your eldest brother? The eldest lady shouted angrily, "In Liyuan Pavilion, you expose your eldest brother's old affairs for an outsider, and our family has really cultivated a good daughter!" ”

It turned out to be for that incident in the theater. She suddenly realized that the good thing Li Shaowen said was that she quarreled with Yuehua, no wonder he first said that he should be careful himself, and then said that he would accompany him in. It turned out that by that time he had already seen everything that was happening.

Seeing that she didn't care at all, the eldest lady became more and more annoyed, and that day Zhilan told Yuehua's ugly thing in front of the master, and her heart was already hating. Bai Xin's two children, Mu Qing is brave and strategic, and his son can't compete. Zhilan, a girl who will marry out in the future, actually rides on Yuehua's head to make a fortune, which is unbearable.

In a fit of rage, she raised her hand and slapped her several times. Zhou Zhilan was in pain, covering her cheeks, staring at her with fire in her eyes.

Everyone was shocked. Steward Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Mrs. is angry, if there is anything wrong with the young lady, just reprimand a few words, if it is broken, how can you explain it to the master?" Be merciful, ma'am! ”

Steward Zhou didn't persuade him, and when he persuaded the eldest lady, he was even more angry: "She will move out of the master to press me!" If I don't kill her today, I won't be able to get rid of the evil anger in my chest! "She went crazy and hit her.

Zhilan hurriedly curled up to protect her head, and endured the slap of her fist like rain falling on her back, this is a trick she has learned since she was a child, and she has become so proficient that it has become an unforgettable habit.

Yancui was so frightened that her face was like earth on the side when she was young, and at the critical moment, Rong Ma rushed out with an arrow, desperately using her aging body to protect Zhilan. I don't know where Rong Ma got so much strength, Zhilan only felt as if she was cut off by a wall from pain and discomfort, and something called warmth grew and spread in her body and mind! Although this warmth was brought by a desperate old man, she saw Rong Ma clenching her teeth and bearing the pain that should have belonged to her without saying a word, her eyes were still moist, and tears fell uncontrollably in strings.

The onlookers and servants were coaxing and persuading, and watching the lively coaxing, the scene was out of control for a while. Yuehua was so anxious that she shouted: "Gui Ma is fast! Stop my wife! "I stepped forward with Gui's mother and the others.

He hugged the eldest lady and said, "Mother, think twice!" It's a small thing to beat this girl to vent her anger. Mother, if you really hurt her, can't Dad blame you? Isn't the situation that has been in vain for so many years? ”

The eldest lady listened to Yuehua's persuasion, and her reason returned to her, and she stopped panting: "That's it, for Hua'er's sake, I will spare you this time." If you have any behavior outside the inside, I won't be able to spare you! ”

Zhilan's face was full of blood, red and swollen one by one. Rong's mother was also slightly injured, and she still held her in her arms, with tears on her face.

Yuehua asked the housekeeper to quickly invite the doctor over.

Gui's mother instructed the maid to help the angry lady into the house, and watched the excitement disperse for a while, and everyone returned to you.
