Chapter 34: Where Does Confidence Come From?
"Huh? Yeon-yeon, what's wrong? The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and Lu Xue watched Leng Yan get up with a confused expression, walked out from the back door, and hurriedly chased out.
"It's nothing ......" Leng Yan finished speaking, looked back behind Lu Xue, frowned, and stopped talking.
"Nothing? Then why did you ...... suddenly" Lu Xue didn't understand Leng Yan's sudden abnormal performance, and was about to ask, but heard a very elegant woman's voice behind her.
Lu Xue turned around, followed Leng Yan's gaze, and saw an elegant and dignified woman who looked very educated, looking at her and Leng Yan with a smile on her face.
The woman stepped forward, and the smile on her face widened, "Miss Leng." β
"Who is this?" Lu Xue quietly poked Leng Yan's waist and asked in a low voice.
But unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Leng Yan didn't answer her words.
Instead, the woman greeted Leng Yan first, "I didn't expect to meet Miss Leng here, it's such a coincidence, I thought I recognized the wrong person just now, but I didn't expect it to be you." β
Leng Yan brushed the hair from her ears and smiled, "Yes, is Miss Gu alone, or did she make a date?" β
Now that Gu Meiyuan has opened her mouth, if she ignores it and goes back to be accused, it will be worth the loss.
"Little niece." Hearing the voice, Leng Yan's originally reluctant smile suddenly froze on her face, not knowing how to react.
As soon as they separated at noon, they met again, still in the presence of his fiancΓ©e, and Wen Yuanchen didn't seem to be unusual, jokingly quipping, "Didn't the little niece see me?" I'm so sad! β
Compared with Wen Yuanchen, Leng Yan's attitude can be said to be very bland and distant.
From an outsider's point of view, it is actually a very suitable distance between uncle and nephew, but Lu Xue, who knows the real situation, looks at this scene and has only indescribable weirdness.
"Sorry uncle, I didn't notice you just now."
"Miss Leng's piano is very good!" As soon as Leng Yan's words fell, Gu Meiyuan took the lead in praising as if she was afraid that Wen Yuanchen would say more to her.
But Gu Meiyuan's words were not fake, she did think that Leng Yan's piano skills were very good, and her eyes were full of appreciation for Leng Yan when she spoke.
Leng Yan smiled politely, "Thank you." β
Gu Meiyuan's appreciation for her, as well as her jealousy, Leng Yan could see it. All the negative emotions actually come from the fact that she and Wen Yuanchen are not related by blood, but they live under the same roof in a bright and bright way.
After Leng Yan thanked her, she paused for a moment, and was already planning to excuse Gu Meiyuan and say that she had something to do, but she heard Gu Meiyuan suddenly ask, "You see me patronizing and talking, who is this?" β
"This is my best friend, Lu Xue," Leng Yan smiled and introduced the two to each other, "Xue Xue, this is my uncle's girlfriend, Miss Gu Meiyuan Gu." β
Hearing Gu Meiyuan's name, Lu Xue was suddenly startled, looked at the other party and asked seriously, "Ah! Is that Gu's? β
"Yes," Gu Meiyuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly showed a knowing smile, "Miss Lu has heard of it?" β
"Not only have I heard of it, my father has always asked me to take Miss Gu as a role model." When Lu Xue thought of this, her face became bitter.
Gu Meiyuan has always been well-known in the celebrity circle. Almost all parents hope that their daughters can be like Gu Meiyuan, but it's a pity that Lu Xue has always jumped away. After several attempts, her father finally gave up and chose to let Lu Xue be himself freely.
"Miss Lu has won the award." After Gu Meiyuan saw Lu Xue's reaction, she knew what she was going to say.
From childhood to adulthood, the girls around her were taught by their parents to use her as a role model.
"It's such a coincidence today, why don't we sit together for a while?" While speaking, Gu Meiyuan raised her hand and made a gesture of please, "What do you want to drink?" I invite you. β
From childhood to adulthood, Gu Meiyuan actually envied those girls who didn't need to pay too much attention.
You don't have to be like her, how big a step you have to take when you walk, what angle you have to have when you smile, how loud you have to be when you speak, and where you have to look when you talk to someone face to face...... Every detail of becoming a celebrity has to be practiced countless times and deeply engraved in my mind.
When she grew up, although she no longer had to live under the supervision of her parents, those details had become a habit, and she never knew what freedom was.
Leng Yan frowned, she didn't want to stay with Gu Meiyuan and Wen Yuanchen, and she didn't want to be a large light bulb.
"Still not. Miss Gu, it's late now, my mother will say me when I get home too late, let's go first. β
"That'...... Yuanchen, do you want to send Yanyan back? The girl ...... alone, "Of course, even if she is not happy, Gu Meiyuan has to be generous and decent."
"No, I can do it myself." Leng Yan naturally wanted to get Gu Meiyuan just to be polite, how could she be stupid enough to agree.
"Then be careful on your own road." Gu Meiyuan asked with a smile.
As soon as Leng Yan pulled Lu Xue around, Wen Yuanchen's voice came from behind her, "Wait a minute, I'll send you." β
Wen Yuanchen saw that Leng Yan was about to leave, how could he rest assured!
It's already dark, and when she goes back by herself at this time, she will definitely be lectured by Leng Sujin again. But if he is with Leng Yan, Leng Sujin's attitude does not dare to go too far.
"No, I don't want to disturb my uncle's date with my girlfriend."
Wen Yuanchen didn't expect Leng Yan to refuse without any affection, and he didn't even have time to think about it.
While Gu Meiyuan and Leng Yan were talking just now, Wen Yuanchen did walk away and answer a phone call, but in fact it was just Yao Yunyi's phone, "No interruption, there was a call from the UK just now, I need to go back to have a video conference." β
"Then you go back and get busy, remember to rest early when you're done." Gu Meiyuan's face darkened unexpectedly for a moment, she finally waited for Wen Yuanchen to come out on a date, who would have thought that there would be someone who didn't have long eyes to disturb.
"Okay, will I send you home?" Wen Yuanchen thought about it for a while, anyway, Gu Meiyuan was also his nominal fiancΓ©e, and she came out to date him, in case something happened on the way back, he would not be able to explain.
"No need, I called the driver, don't delay your work, you pay attention to your body, don't be too tired." Gu Meiyuan smiled, walked to Wen Yuanchen's side as she spoke, and straightened his collar, "Go get busy, and come out when you are free." β
Out of politeness, Wen Yuanchen instructed Gu Meiyuan a few words, but his eyes kept on Leng Yan.
"Let's go, little niece."
Leng Yan was helpless, pulled Lu Xue, and followed behind Wen Yuanchen without saying a word.
It wasn't until she was about to arrive at the parking lot that Lu Xue found that the air around Wen Yuanchen in front of her was getting colder and colder, and she couldn't help but shudder, and whispered, "That...... Yanyan, my dad just sent me WeChat, I'll go home first......"
"You obviously didn't even look at your phone," Leng Yan exposed her lie without giving Lu Xue any face, and then threatened, "You brought me here, you have to accompany me, otherwise you will wait for me tomorrow!" β
"I ......" Lu Xue sighed, and just wanted to accept her fate, but saw Wen Yuanchen turn around and glance at her coldly, and changed her words before she could say anything, "Grandma, just let me go, I really have something urgent." β
Hearing Lu Xue say his satisfactory answer, Wen Yuanchen's expression softened a little, and his voice became softer, "Yanyan, if someone has something, you will let them go, won't I accompany you the same?" β
"I don't need you to accompany me!" Leng Yan glared at Lu Xue, "What are you afraid of him doing?" He can't eat you. β
"Grandma, I'll go first, and you should go home early." Lu Xue felt Wen Yuanchen's gaze behind her, and her shoulders shook.
He can't eat Lu Xue, but if he does something to Lu Xue's family's industry, it's a trivial matter of moving his fingers.
But she didn't want to say this to Leng Yan, and as soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xue hurriedly ran away.
"Why did you drive Lu Xue away?" Leng Yan glanced at Lu Xue's back, turned around and said angrily, "What do you want to do?" β
Wen Yuanchen looked at Leng Yan with an innocent face, "First of all, your first question, I didn't drive her away, it was clear that she was going to leave by herself, don't believe me I called her back, you ask her." After a pause, Wen Yuanchen continued, "The second question, you! β
"You ......" Hearing Wen Yuanchen's words, Leng Yan's face turned red.
"What's wrong with me?" Wen Yuanchen smiled and approached Leng Yan step by step, and his low laughter sounded particularly sultry.
I don't know what's going on, with Wen Yuanchen's movements, Leng Yan's heartbeat suddenly faster.
She shook her head vigorously to regain her composure, "You're unreasonable! β
Leng Yan took a few steps back, keeping a distance from Wen Yuanchen that she thought was safe.
"I can't be reasoned with, don't you still like me?" Wen Yuanchen raised his eyebrows, and smiled a little at Leng Yan's evasive move.
Recently, Leng Yan heard the word 'like', and she was inexplicably irritable, "I didn't!" Don't talk nonsense! β
Leng Yan is very strange, why does she have to like someone?
Wen Yuanchen slanted the corners of his mouth slightly, "I never talk nonsense." β
"Where do you get your confidence? Is it that the woman who has been by your side all the time has been fascinated by you and has made you have some illusions," Leng Yan snorted, "Then I'm really sorry, I will never like someone like you in my life." β
"My self-confidence is what you gave me." Wen Yuanchen slowly approached Leng Yan and wanted to take her into his arms, but Leng Yan dodged away.
Wen Yuanchen's hand touched his eyebrows, "Since you don't like me, then tell me, why did you eat Meiyuan's vinegar at home that night?" β
Leng Yan cut off, "Please stop being sentimental, okay?" I'm just just feeling sick. β
In fact, when she said this, Leng Yan herself didn't believe it. She knew exactly how she felt that night.
After speaking, Leng Yan avoided Wen Yuanchen's eyes, turned around and walked out, but was grabbed by the man's arm.
