Seven in the fire
"Connie?!"
A voice stopped Jiang Connie halfway down the road, and at the same time, a hand reached over to stabilize her shoulder.
Jiang Connie's eyes were still staring at Mu Luyuan, but he had to stop.
"What's wrong with you? Who hired you? When did you come back? ”
Guan Lan saw her roaring through the corridor, her high heels clattering, so he came over to stop her.
She was here tonight to attend a preparatory meeting for a psychological medicine forum, and just after she was finished, she was going to the bar for a drink when she saw Jiang Connie.
Speaking of which, they have known each other since childhood, only a few years apart, and they have been in the United States for many years, one is a graduate student; a matriculation student; The relationship between the parents is good, so they often meet in a social circle. However, Guan Zailan didn't expect to meet here today.
Seeing Connie's current posture of wanting to capture the heart, she followed Connie's line of sight and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Mu Luyuan.
When will he come to such a field?
But it didn't take long for her to understand what was going on.
Jiang Connie's liking for Mu Luyuan is something that the whole world knows (only he doesn't know). Guan Zailan, as Mu Luyuan's cousin in the next room, is friends with her, and has heard of her "lofty ambition" and "difficult love road", but she has never participated in the affairs of children, so she can only watch it coldly. I didn't want to hit it right today.
Seeing that the atmosphere was already at a critical point, something was going wrong, so she whispered in Connie's ear and said:
"Did you have a crush and a clear crush? However, it will be difficult to do it after tearing your face. ”
Jiang Connie's originally blazing jealousy slowly died down when she heard this. After calming down a little, she opened her mouth and wanted to tell Zai Lan what happened, but suddenly remembered that she had promised Mu Luyuan that she would not mention this matter to others.
She was speechless, and looked at Guan Zailan with an aggrieved expression.
This......
Guan Zailan had to walk in front of Mu Luyuan with her.
Next to his tall and thin silhouette, sure enough, there was a tall girl.
The two of them seem to be deadlocked, but they are quite right and eye-catching.
Guan Yu Lan coughed twice to remind himself of what he wanted.
"Lu Yuan, why are you here today?"
Guan Zailan greeted the round field elegantly.
Mu Luyuan turned a deaf ear, his eyes were still on the face of the woman in front of him, and his back was to them.
When Miao Hao heard this, he took a step back and looked at the two people who came over.
Guan Jae-lan and Kang Connie looked at her at the same time.
Sure enough, it's a beauty billet, and she dares to mix in the upper circle by relying on her skin!? What a means! It's a pity that he only deserves to be his father's mistress! What is the value of the Mu family now?! Do you still want to fish for a long time? Father and son up and down? It's despicable! It's just her spring and autumn dream!
Jiang Connie thought about it, indignant in her heart, with an extremely contemptuous expression.
On the other hand, he was really taken aback by Lan Yi's always cold and quiet eyes, as if an electric current was passing through in an instant.
Who is this woman? Her face ......
It was a whole secret of another world, a fish stalk about another person, or frankly, a thorn in her own heart.
Why is it here? How could it be?
But her composure calmed herself down immediately. This similarity is only vaguely between them, maybe they are too obsessed with it, and they can see the version.
"Mu Luyuan!" Kang Connie shouted loudly.
The sound was so loud that the people next to him were overlooked.
Mu Luyuan turned around at this time, and saw that Connie was still indifferent, and he didn't restrain himself a little until he saw Guan Zailan.
Zai Lan had to ask softly:
"I happened to meet Connie here, but I didn't expect you to be here too. ...... is this beauty? ”。
"She's a person who can't hit with eight strokes at all!" Jiang Connie snatched the conversation.
As she spoke, she took another step closer to Lu Yuan and reached out to hold his wrist.
Mu Luyuan wanted to shake it off, but when he saw that the people around him were looking at this side, it was not good to have a seizure in front of several women, so he could only pull with her, ready to wait for her to finish speaking and leave.
I didn't expect her next words to be this style of painting.
"You know, you don't know, you should know now. I've loved you, since I was a kid. Anything can be done for you, wait for as long as you want, but! You remember, I don't give anyone a chance, especially the kind of person who doesn't have the qualifications at all! ”
After hearing this, Mu Luyuan frowned and withdrew his hand. He wanted to ask Connie how he could confirm the identity of his father's mistress, but now it seems that he doesn't need to ask. And he didn't know how to respond to such a popular heroine drama for a while, but he didn't want to respond.
His mind wasn't here at all.
However, he must have heard the threat seeping out of these words.
This is really an aunt! From the first day it appeared, it was used vividly and escalated step by step.
He couldn't help but glance sideways at Miao Haoshi.
Compared with Jiang Connie's wonderful and rich expression in the past few minutes, her face was as calm as water, and even covered with a cold indifference.
Jiang Connie made progress, walked in front of Miao Haoshi again, and sneered:
"I know, you are the MP of Hong Kong Xinmei Capital. How are you ready to move to the mainland? Sister, how old are you? Such a good post...... The background is not simple. ”
When Guan Lan Wenyan fixed his eyes and looked at Miao Hao again, he seemed to notice something unusual.
Miao Haoshi didn't even look at Jiang Connie, she didn't say anything, and turned sideways to let Jiang Connie go.
There was no confirmation, no denial, not even the desire/hope to stay here for another second.
She left slowly, passed by Mu Luyuan, and walked towards the noisy crowd in the center. He felt the hem of her silk dress brushing against his body, like a butterfly with folded wings docked for a moment.
Mu Luyuan even wanted to reach out and stop her, it was not difficult to stop her, but then what? His mind was in shambles, shattered.
He could only stand still and let her go.
"You are absolutely impossible! Don't play with fire. ”
Seeing that Miao Hao had gone away, Jiang Connie said to Mu Luyuan.
Mu Luyuan turned to look at her, his face was like frost.
"Don't go overboard." After saying that, he opened his legs and walked straight away, not even caring about Guan Zailan.
Thanks to Guan Yulan, he is the best temperament and the most rational person in Lan on weekdays.
At this moment, only Jiang Connie, who is almost crazy, is left in Lanlai, and it seems that it is on the stall today, and the Buddha has to be sent to the west.
"Did your mom allow you to drink?" She had to ask, so as to divert the other party's attention from looking at Mu Luyuan's back.
"I'm not going to drink it now!" Jiang Connie's big voice came up again.
"Then let's go for a walk, don't go in and say you're underage, go home and sleep after drinking, Miss."
Guan Zailan hesitated for a moment, and didn't ask anything about the woman's identity, although he was already curious.
The impromptu band on the terrace was lit up, and a set of harmonica and acoustic guitar preludes sounded through the night, and the lazy and tactful new jazz instantly pierced people's hearts.
The atmosphere outside is lively.
On this night, the first dish of the outdoor wine dish was "Chestnut in the Fire", a chic foreign dish.
The blue flames lit the stacks of nuts on the plate, and the flames were so hot that when the heat arrived, you could hear the occasional "crackling" sound, the popping sound of chestnut shells or Turkish hazelnuts. This dish was invented by the British in the colony, and I don't know if it was deliberately called so, so as to represent a ridiculous relationship that is deceitful and falling apart.
Miao Haoshi remembers a book that said that it was Christmas Eve when Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese overnight in 1941, and they used this dish at the Peninsula Hotel cocktail party during the Christmas carnival.
She remembered that Mu Luyuan looked at her face for a moment, and she could already see what he heard, I am afraid it was a rather terrible rumor.
And she couldn't control all of this, she didn't even have the right to control it.
That night, the boy who held the umbrella for her may have been just a dream, and she should have forgotten it a long time ago. They were originally people from different worlds.
And he turned out to be, Mu Luyuan. He was no one, it turned out to be Mu Luyuan.
If there really is a God, wouldn't he be very bored, otherwise how could he make such a joke?
She hurried back downstairs to the banquet room, where her seat was still empty. Mu Pengfei and Mr. Mo had entered the cigar room on the side and disappeared.
The big financial media person he invited tonight, Miss Merle, was hung there. She had already wrapped her shawl around her fragrant shoulder, which had missed most of the night, and was waiting anxiously for Mu Pengfei to appear again and continue their next show tonight.
Miao Haoshi had foreseen that after this night, after this appearance in Vanity Fair, where the desires of red men and green women were blatantly written on everyone's bizarre faces, her life would be nowhere to escape.
Just now, she just wanted to sneak out and catch her breath.
It's like a fish coming to the surface, but it's actually unnecessary and powerless.
