Chapter Seventy-Three: Let's Break Up
Early the next morning, on the way to work for Lu Mingqiao, she received a call from Shen Yi.
"Jojo, I feel like I've been fine since I got through that rain."
"Really? It seems that Shen Yunfei's method works. Lu Mingqiao sighed.
"I have an appetite now, and I want to eat, and although I can't say that I have completely put it down, I know that I can't go back."
Shen Yi can think so, Lu Mingqiao feels that it is not easy, people can look back from time to time, but they can't go back, so they can't help but look back, it's good to have thoughts in their hearts, but if they can clean up their sorrows and live their own lives, that's good.
"Shen Yi, it's really great that you can think like this."
"Well, don't worry, there's something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
"Now after work, I go to Shen Yunfei's bar to help, I think doing some work is very good for me, and every day will be very fulfilling."
"You're a little late after work, if you really want to do something, why don't you follow your mother to adjust your parents' shortcomings?"
"It's okay, don't worry, Yunfei will send me back in the evening, and I don't want to deal with too many people, I just want to do something quietly, it just so happens that his bar is not open and there is no one now, I think it suits me very well, I won't go when he opens."
"It's okay, if I'm free, I'll accompany you."
"Don't worry about me, I can tell you very responsibly now, your little sister Baozi has stood up!"
After talking to Shen Yi, Lu Mingqiao stopped outside the coffee shop, today is the best weather, the sun is bright and dazzling.
The underside of the building is full of blooming flowers, bright and beautiful.
People have long been dressed in summer clothes, with long hair flowing and crony flying.
And she herself, she saw her clothes through the glass of the window outside the store, a silk beige shirt, a small scarf with old flowers, and then a skirt with a body, strappy sandals, a very standard summer dress.
Today's weather is so good, the sun is good, the mood is good, everything is hopeful.
She went to buy a cup of coffee, waited for a while, and sent a message to Jiang Chen.
"Brother, when you get the certificate, do you want to wear a couple's shirt?"
I don't know why she had this idea, she used to hate couples with couple nicknames, make couple avatars, and wear couple clothes, which felt very childish.
But when I think about taking a photo of my registration, I want to wear the same one.
She grabbed her coffee and came out, browsing through couple's clothes as she entered the lobby.
"Lu Mingqiao." At the door of the lobby, Lin Ning stopped her.
Lu Mingqiao raised her eyes and glanced at the person who called her, and was surprised: "Lin Ning? ”
How did she end up here? Did you come specifically to find yourself?
"I've got something to say to you." Lin Ning got straight to the point.
The hunch is not a good thing, it must be about Jiang Chen.
The two of them sat in the lounge area of the lobby, Lin Ning was wearing a black suit, and her momentum was very overwhelming, she asked directly: "Do you know Jiang Chen's identity?" ”
"Yes, so what are you going to tell me?" Lu Mingqiao asked.
"Knowing his family background, you still dare to be with him, let me say what is good about you? It's too self-defeating. Lin Ning looked at her arrogantly, holding her innate upper-class lady temperament.
"It seems to have nothing to do with you." Lu Mingqiao did not show weakness.
"The wealthy are not so easy to mix, this is not a circle that can be squeezed into by hard work, this circle is a closed loop, only people born in a wealthy family are qualified to survive in it, so I advise you, don't go in and kowtow to break the blood, and make yourself bruised, you can't get any benefits."
"You didn't answer my question, does that have anything to do with you?" Lu Mingqiao asked again.
"What does it have to do with me? Jiang Chen's father found a good candidate for him to marry, it is me, if you don't know the Yanjing Lin family, you can check it, and then you will understand that only people like us with the same family background are the most suitable to be together, and the marriage of a wealthy family is never a casual thing. Lin Ning directly picked out the truth.
Hearing this, Lu Mingqiao's heart sank, is this the case? Lin Ning is actually his marriage partner? She never knew that.
However, Lu Mingqiao smiled and asked, "Jiang Chen's father found a good person for him, is you, does Jiang Chen agree?" ”
Lin Ning didn't speak, and Lu Mingqiao continued: "I'll answer for you, he doesn't agree, if he agrees, you won't come to me to say this." ”
I have to admit that Lu Mingqiao is really smart, it's not ordinary scares that can scare her, but Lin Ning is not easy to mess with.
"So, even if you would rather be the enemy of his whole family later, you still have to get a certificate with him? Aren't you afraid of dying too badly? ”
The death was too miserable, she was not afraid.
"I'm sorry, I'll just say it, I can't back down now, this is a war, I'm standing on the battlefield now, only killed in battle, not surrendered, so, although I'm making enemies of his family, don't forget, I'm standing with him."
Lin Ning smiled, very good, very courageous.
"Did you know that he was going abroad after the project was completed?" Lin Ning threw out another bomb.
Lu Mingqiao's expression froze after hearing this, go abroad? She had never heard him mention it yet.
Lin Ning caught her expression and said proudly, "I don't know, right?" ”
"The Jiang family arranged for him to go abroad to arrange a new identity for him to prepare for the public, and what you don't know is that I will go with him, this step by step is planned."
Hearing this, Lu Mingqiao could no longer be invincible, she was silent and did not respond to Lin Ning, but Lin Ning could see that she didn't know these things yet, then that was enough, there was no need to say anything more, just this bit of news was enough for her to hold on.
"You're a smart guy, if it's not a rival, maybe we'll be good friends, you know what to do, you're really not a good fit for him." After Lin Ning finished speaking, he got up and left.
Lu Mingqiao sat for a long time before relieving himself.
It turned out that after his project was completed, he couldn't marry her, and he had to go abroad.
So he wanted to get the certificate with her in advance, and have a prelude with the family.
If this is all true, after getting the certificate with her, and then going abroad with Lin Ning, how should she Lu Mingqiao deal with herself at that time?
I don't know, I really don't know.
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect him to go abroad, and I couldn't imagine that his marriage partner was Lin Ning.
So, as Lin Ning said, is it necessary for her to fight?
Jiang Chen's messages on his mobile phone kept coming, and after he saw Lu Mingqiao proposing to wear a couple's shirt and take registration photos, he also browsed a few sets and sent a few pictures to choose with her.
Lu Mingqiao picked up her mobile phone and didn't reply to Jiang Chen's message, she entered the elevator numbly and mechanically and came to the company.
As soon as Xu Huihui saw Lu Mingqiao coming in, she said excitedly: "Sister Qiao! There's good news, the little demon is really hot, after sending its video with our account, there are millions of likes, there are a lot of orders for cat food in the shopping cart, and the merchant just thanked us. ”
"Hmm." Lu Mingqiao nodded lightly and entered the office.
"What's wrong with Sister Qiao? Why doesn't she feel so happy? Xu Huihui asked Li Xin.
"She's not happy when she looks at it, she must have something on her mind." Li Xin said.
"I'll go in and ask."
When Xu Huihui came in, she saw Lu Mingqiao leaning back on a chair, her head tilted, and her eyes closed.
"Sister Qiao, what's wrong with you? Isn't there anything bothering you? ”
"I'm fine." Lu Mingqiao responded.
"You're all worried, it's okay, what's wrong? You don't have to do anything alone, we can help you find a way together. ”
"Don't ask Huihui, no one can help me." Lu Mingqiao sat up and said, "Go get busy, let me calm down alone for a while." ”
After Xu Huihui went out, Lu Mingxuan called again.
"Sister, have you and your brother-in-law obtained the certificate? After I got it, I sent me a photo, I showed it to my dad, our dad is angry now, and his waist is very straight when he goes out, and when someone asks about you, he tells people that his brother-in-law is so promising! ”
"You don't know, he's happy with his brother-in-law."
"Moreover, he is still open, pick a day to go to Yanjing, meet his brother-in-law's grandmother, and say that he has to pick up new clothes, hahaha......."
Lu Mingqiao just listened to Lu Mingxuan, and she didn't respond a word.
"Sister? Sister? Lu Mingxuan found that the old lady didn't speak, so he asked, "Are you listening?" ”
"Listening."
"Send me a picture."
"I didn't get it."
"When are you going?"
"I don't know."
"What's wrong with you? Why does your voice sound so deep? Why didn't you pick it up? Let's wait and see. ”
Lu Mingqiao remembered what his father said that day, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
"I'm fine." She opened her mouth and found that her voice was hoarse.
"Don't talk about it, hang up."
"Wait!" Lu Mingxuan said.
"Did you quarrel? Or is there something going on? If you don't want to talk about it, I'll ask my brother-in-law. ”
"Xiao Xuan, don't ask."
"What the hell is going on then?"
"Let me handle it myself, okay? I'll tell you when I'm done. ”
"Sister, why are you always like this? You always say that your family doesn't care about you and doesn't care about you, so what about you? If you don't say anything, you think that nothing can help you at home, but we don't know anything, how can we help you? It's not that simple between you and your brother-in-law, is it? Although the others are not bad, but you two still have problems, don't hide it from me, even if you don't want to tell our dad, you should discuss it with me. ”
"Xiao Xuan, this time, I really don't know what to do."
She briefly told Lu Mingxuan about the problem between her and Jiang Chen, and after Lu Mingxuan listened, he said, "No wonder." ”
"As soon as you say that, I understand why you are in such a hurry to get the certificate, but I have to say that you are very smart in everything, but this is just this matter, confused."
"Our family agrees with you, what about his family? Although he didn't live in that house, wasn't that his dad? Isn't his dad still in control of his life? This time, you listen to my advice, don't get a certificate first, marriage is the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, hire as a wife, run as a concubine, these old words sound like living in the Qing Dynasty, but think about it, you have all developed to the level of obtaining a certificate, brother-in-law and his father have never seen you so far, what does this mean? This means that they don't take you seriously at all, they have their plans, and you are not in their plans, so there is no need to even see you, and if you continue to walk alone like this, only you will be hurt. ”
Hearing this, Lu Mingqiao felt that his self-confidence was destroyed.
Strength has also been shaken.
Yes, no matter what, she hasn't even seen Jiang Chen's father.
Agree or disagree, I haven't seen her once, she seems to be a non-existent person.
"Sister, if you don't want to talk to him, I'll help you say it, right?"
"Don't talk to him, we'll settle our business." Lu Mingqiao admonished.
"Okay, but you must be cautious, Dad is old, if you don't have a good life in the future, I think he will also worry about you, I'm afraid, when you are in trouble, we can't help you."
"Hmm." Lu Mingqiao answered, and then hung up the phone.
In the past, she thought that man would conquer the sky, and my life would be up to me.
Now I feel that it is really difficult to go against the sky, and it is difficult to move forward.
If she didn't know what she was facing with Jiang Chen at first, then now, she knows a little bit about it.
If they want to be together, they will have to face the Jiang family's indifference or difficulties to her for a long time, and they will have to face a fierce rival like Lin Ning for a long time, and the family may have to worry about her for a long time.
Until he got off work, Jiang Chen did not receive a reply from Lu Mingqiao.
He thought she was busy, so he left work early and went to her company, originally wanting to wait for her to choose clothes together.
Jiang Chen entered the company, everyone greeted him warmly, Xu Huihui pulled him aside alone, and whispered: "Mr. Jiang, did you quarrel with Sister Qiao?" ”
"Nope." Jiang Chen replied, not knowing why she asked.
"I don't know what's wrong with her, she looks unhappy when she comes in the morning, and she hasn't eaten lunch."
After Jiang Chen heard this, he hurriedly went to Lu Mingqiao's office.
He pushed the door open and saw her lying on the table, as if asleep.
"Sister." He came in and stroked her hair.
Lu Mingqiao raised his head, his eyes were still a little red, as if he had cried.
"What's wrong with you?"
She looked at him and didn't speak.
"Did something happen?"
"Are you here?" Lu Mingqiao asked.
"Let's go see the couple shirt and get the certificate early tomorrow morning."
"Is there still a need to get a certificate?" Lu Mingqiao lowered his head and said, playing with the signature pen in his hand.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Chen felt that her mood was not ordinary, something was wrong.
"After the project is completed, aren't you going abroad?" Lu Mingqiao raised his head and asked.
"How do you know? Did he come to you? "Jiang Chen thought that Jiang Zhili had come.
"It doesn't matter how I know, anyway, I know now, do I want to go abroad?"
"Yes, it's going abroad." Jiang Chen admitted.
"So, if you can't get married, you just want to get the certificate first, so that we will be trapped."
"I didn't tell you about going abroad because I haven't figured out how to tell you, I didn't mean to hide it from you, and I got the certificate because I really want to marry you."
"The Jiang family has arranged a candidate for marriage for you, it is Lin Ning, and let you go abroad together."
"I didn't know about her going with me, and I told you that Jiang Zhili agreed with me to talk to you."
"Don't lie to me, Jiang Chen." Lu Mingqiao said.
"I didn't lie to you." He pulled Lu Mingqiao up.
"I know it's my fault that I didn't tell me about going abroad, but I can swear to God, I really don't know that the Jiang family arranged for her to go abroad with me, and I will give you an explanation for this."
Hand over? What's the explanation?
"Forget it, don't talk about it, whether you know it or not, you can't resist, you can't even resist going abroad, we don't get a certificate, there's no need."
Isn't it because Jiang Zhili used her company to blackmail him?
If he doesn't go abroad, Jiang Zhili will get her company.
But he didn't know that he had arranged Lin Ning to go abroad.
Is God going to kill him?
He looked at Lu Mingqiao, she didn't reply to his message today, she knew it early in the morning, and she must have thought a lot about it.
Since figuring out his identity, she has not been so brave, and finally made up her mind to get the certificate with him, but such a thing came out again.
I don't blame her, and I can't blame her.
"Yes, you're right, I can't even resist such a trivial matter as going abroad, how can I guarantee that I can protect you in the future."
As soon as he remembered what Lu's father had told him that night, he felt more and more that if he had failed her, it would really be better not to start.
"I respect your decision and don't take it." Jiang Chen didn't insist this time, he was not qualified, the closer he got to her, the more dangerous she became, he didn't know what the Jiang family came to tell her, but no matter what he said, he finally found her here.
He has grievances and grievances with the Jiang family, why should he involve her?
This should have been faced by him alone, and she should not be embarrassed.
"I'm sorry for making it difficult for you."
"Divide it." Lu Mingqiao said, this time, it's really divided.
She also saw that not only was she embarrassed, but he was also difficult to handle, and a person like him who was strategizing couldn't handle it properly this time, which showed that this hurdle really couldn't be crossed.
Jiang Chen looked at Lu Mingqiao, only feeling a dull pain in his heart, depressed, and suffocating, but he didn't expect that they would end so calmly and quietly.
It's okay too.
He can't bring her a peaceful and peaceful life, so he might as well let her go.
Jiang Chen opened his mouth and said in a dumb voice, "Okay." ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked out of Lu Mingqiao's office.
He didn't know how he got out, he felt like he couldn't hear anything anymore.
People passing by come and go, as if they were acting in a silent movie, their mouths obviously seem to be talking, and some people are still talking on their mobile phones as they walk.
But strangely, he couldn't hear anything.
He opened the car door, and he couldn't even hear the sound of it closing.
He just drove back to Qianhe, and the city was really quiet today.
He seemed to be back to his old state, falling rapidly, also deviating from course, and then being swallowed up by the darkness.
