"What is the reason?"

"You'll find out later."

She smiled playfully and reached out to pull Ruan Xiaoxi, "Let's go back."

It's too cold. ”

…… Within a few days, it was Ruan Zhiguo's birthday.

It wasn't until the first night of his birthday that Ruan Jingya called her, and Ruan Xiaoxi was watching a video on the couch when her call came in.

"Xiaoxi, tomorrow is Daddy's birthday, do you know?"

"Yes."

Ruan Xiaoxi slandered, even if she really didn't know that he had a birthday, what was the point of her calling now? She's made a heart.

"That's good, my sister thought you forgot, so she called to remind you."

Her voice was gentle, but she wished she had forgotten.

"Thank you, sister.

Then we'll see you tomorrow. ”

Ruan Xiaoxi called her obediently.

"Wait a minute, are you coming for tomorrow's birthday by yourself or are you?" He pretended to ask this question casually, but in fact he was asking if Ji Chengyan would go tomorrow.

"Chengyan will accompany me."

Ruan Xiaoxi smiled.

In fact, she hadn't mentioned this matter to Ji Chengyan yet, but she deliberately said it first.

Ruan Jingya over there seemed to be overjoyed: "Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow." ”

Hell.

Hanging up the phone, Ruan Xiaoxi made a super ugly grimace at the phone viciously.

It's just that I didn't expect this scene to be seen by Ji Chengyan who came over.

Ji Chengyan bent his thin lips, but he didn't make a sound.

Ruan Xiaoxi saw him coming over, and hesitated whether he should ask him if he would go tomorrow for Ruan Zhiguo's birthday.

But after seeing his indifferent face, he still dispelled this thought.

They have been in the cold war for so long, and it is clear that he is not lightly angry this time.

And what he usually dislikes the most is all kinds of socializing, this time her father's birthday, he must be angry and he won't go.

So, she didn't ask.

Naturally, he didn't take the initiative to say it.

So the next day, when Ruan Xiaoxi arrived at Ruan's house, he saw Ji Chengyan's car parked outside Ruan's house, and once thought that he had seen it wrong.

It wasn't until she repeatedly confirmed the license plate two or three times and was sure that it was his car that she had to sigh.

How can this person always do something inexplicable and unexpected.

But it is undeniable that Ji Chengyan was able to come to this banquet, and Ruan Xiaoxi was still a little surprised in his heart.

After all, if he didn't come to participate, someone would definitely laugh at Ruan Xiaoxi.

Ruan Xiaoxi pushed the car door open and walked down.

And Ji Chengyan, who was sitting in the car on the other side, was ready to get out of the car and go in with her after seeing Ruan Xiaoxi's car coming, after all, if both of them came, but they didn't go in together, it would inevitably make people feel strange.

But he didn't see her get out of the car, so when he was impatient and was about to push the door and get out of the car, he saw her open the car door and walk down.

After really seeing his face clearly, Ji Chengyan was stunned for a moment.

Today, Ruan Xiaoxi wore a blue dress, which was not short and simple, but the kind of skirt that was as long as her ankles, and the design of the skirt was also very complicated, with layers of gauze on the outside, and a tight-fitting design on the upper body.

The design of the whole skirt highlights her good figure to the extreme, and raises her length, coupled with a pair of high heels on her feet, the whole person completely subverts the previous temperament.

Because of the pile of yarn layers on the skirt, her whole person is hazy and elegant.

The long hair, which usually doesn't do any styling at all, is now tied up with a small bunch of hair on each side of the ear, and the rest is scattered behind the head, and rolled a few times casually, looking comfortable and lazy.

Ji Chengyan looked at Ruan Xiaoxi like this, and the fingers that pushed the car door paused slightly, then immediately pushed the door open and walked towards her.

When she saw him, her eyes were obviously a little surprised, and she asked him why he was still outside and didn't go in.

"You haven't come yet, how can I get in."

It was the most he had said to her in a long time.

"Uh-huh, okay."

Ruan Xiaoxi smiled and reached out to pull him naturally.

The little gesture apparently pleased him, and he hooked his lips slightly, bent his arm, and motioned for her to take her hand in.

She put her hands in the crooks of his arms, and the two of them walked inside.

"I thought you weren't coming, but I figured out what to tell them."

Ruan Xiaoxi pursed her red lips and smiled slightly.

She wore delicate makeup today, and her usual plain appearance was rarely a little aggressive.

In fact, he was a little strange, and always felt that she seemed to be too grand today.

Obviously angry about his father, how could he be so dressed to attend his birthday party? Ji Chengyan glanced at her and didn't speak.

Why didn't he come? The last time she let her go home by herself, she got an injury and went back, how could he let her come back alone this time.

Although this date was held in Ruan's house, it was obviously not as shabby as outside.

The entire Ruan Mansion is excellently furnished, from the courtyard outside to the hall inside, everything is dressed to show the careful preparation of the owner.

As soon as Ruan Xiaoxi and Ji Chengyan walked into the courtyard, someone took the initiative to come up and greet them.

Ruan Xiaoxi and Ji Chengyan both nodded slightly, and then walked directly into the hall.

The people behind him all whispered: "Is the woman next to Mr. Ji the second lady of the Ruan family?" The one who grew up in an orphanage? ”

"The person who can hold Mr. Ji's arm to attend on this occasion is naturally her, but I really didn't expect that Miss Ruan Er is no worse than the eldest lady, at least her appearance looks very good."

As soon as Ruan Xiaoxi and Ji Chengyan walked into the hall, they saw Ruan Jingya and Ruan's mother greet them: "Mr. Ji, Xiaoxi."

You're back! As soon as Ruan Xiaoxi saw Ruan's mother, she remembered the unpleasant ending last time, her footsteps paused, and her hand holding Ji Chengyan tightened.

Ji Chengyan felt her strangeness, raised his other hand and patted her fingers lightly as a sign of comfort.

Ruan Xiaoxi glanced up at him, just in time to meet his rare gentle gaze, and somehow, his heart suddenly settled down.

Ruan Jingya looked at Ji Chengyan's eyes warmly, with a smile on the corner of her lips, although she was talking to Ruan Xiaoxi, her eyes looked at Ji Chengyan: "Xiaoxi, you are here." ”

Ruan Xiaoxi sneered in her heart, she showed it so obviously, why didn't she find out in her previous life, how stupid and sweet she was in her previous life? ? She slowly curled the corners of her mouth and replied, "Hmm."

Sister. ”

In fact, she really didn't want to pretend to be with her, and she didn't want to say a word to her, thinking of what she did in the previous life, Ruan Xiaoxi couldn't wait to swallow her alive.

But that's okay, today is the last time.

Ruan Xiaoxi thought of this, and his smile was more genuine.

Ji Chengyan didn't talk to them either, just nodded slightly, then turned his head and said to Ruan Xiaoxi: "Come with me and go over there to say hello first?" Ruan Xiaoxi nodded busily.

So Ji Chengyan took her to a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, combing his hair back, and a few strands of silver were faintly visible.

"Mr. Gong."

Ji Chengyan took the initiative to greet him, "Long time no see." ”

After Ruan Xiaoxi saw this man's face clearly, his heart thumped a few times.

It stands to reason that Ruan Xiaoxi doesn't know this man at this time, but after all, she still remembers these acquaintances.

Gong Hui, the third-generation head of Gong's jewelry, is shrewd and ruthless.

In the last century, Thanh Yen continued to develop his industry when Ruan Xiaoxi was about twenty years old, setting his sights on the lucrative jewelry industry.

He planned to cooperate with Gong Shi at the beginning, after all, Gong Shi is also an old brand for more than 100 years, with enough reputation and heritage, and the company is also very mature in all aspects.

And when he proposed cooperation to the Gong family, this Gong Hui opened his mouth and put forward many insatiable additional conditions.

Ji Chengyan gave up his cooperation with him in a fit of rage and switched to another company that was not as old as Gong's, but had a good reputation.

Then he vigorously entered the jewelry industry, and became a sworn enemy with many contradictions with the Gong family.

And there are many indications that the reason why she was so badly harmed by Ruan Jingya in the last life was that he gave advice behind Ruan Jingya.
