Chapter 4 Meeting at the Bar 1

Yi Lan was much earlier than the agreed time, but when she walked into the bar, Mu Jiangrong had already arrived. He sat on the edge of the bar in casual clothes, sipping wine and chatting with Brooke. The two men formed a stark contrast.

Brooke's eyes are clean and slightly melancholy, although he is old and introverted, he is still a big boy who has not been in the world. Mu Jiangrong looks sunny and handsome, with deep eyes and a calm breath, and his former rebelliousness has been sharpened by the years without leaving a trace.

They chose a quieter location away from the bar, away from the band. As always, Iran ordered a glass of rainbow sangria. And Mu Jiangrong let Brooke call the shots. The chat just now was quite speculative, and I found that the other party is also a person who loves wine and understands wine, and both of them have the meaning of hating each other and treating each other as confidants.

Brooke brought the mixed sangria, and Iran drank it all, returned the cup to him, and said, "Two more." ”

"Iran drink slowly, we've got a whole night. Yes, it's a good chat. ”

Mu Jiangrong stared at Yi Lan. She looked at him too, as if she had been in college, shrewd, rebellious; It's like him in elementary school, naughty and domineering.

"yes, we seem, we've never had a good conversation. But don't you have to go home to your wife? ”

"Oh, she's back in the U.S."

Mu Jiangrong's words made Yi Lan feel very uncomfortable. It's like I'm a secret lover who takes advantage of his wife's absence to meet someone else's husband privately. She took the glass from Brooke's hand and drank it down.

Brooke was a little surprised, in the past, when Yi Lan came to his place, he only took small sips of wine, and he had never drunk so vigorously as he did today. He looked at Mu Jiangrong again, who was observing Yi Lan with a smile, and seemed to be very satisfied with Yi Lan's reaction.

"Actually, I've gone back to China to see you." When Mu Jiangrong said this, a deep sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Really? When? How did I not know? Yi Lan's attitude was a little indifferent, indicating that she was just asking casually, and was not interested in the answer.

"After my body recovered, I saw that you were doing well, and I went back again."

Yi Lan pretended to be attracted by the singing, turned her head to watch the band sing, and coldly "hummed" in her heart.

Mu Jiangrong looked at the woman sitting across from him, angry and pitying. Today, she is also a leader in the academic world. But on the issue of relationships, why hasn't there been any growth at all? Hesitating, always unwilling to take the initiative.

"Yilan, do you know why I returned to China this time?" Yi Lan seemed to be intoxicated by the singing, and didn't hear Mu Jiangrong talking to her.

Mu Jiangrong took a sip of wine and felt that it was better to tell the truth as soon as possible.

"As soon as I heard that you were still single, I rushed back. Fortunately, we haven't missed the best years of our lives, and we still have the opportunity to make up for the regrets we had at the beginning. I want to ......"

What Mu Jiangrong said was not the truth, he had learned the news that Yi Lan was still single two years ago, and he couldn't wait to rush back immediately and propose to her. But he made a mistake, which led to the thorny journey back to China, and the return date was postponed again and again. However, before he could say the most important words, Iran interrupted him.

"You know very well what I want to know most."

It doesn't matter why Mu Jiangrong returned to China, the important thing is that he already has a beautiful and noble wife by his side. If you want to stage a drama of love between husband and wife, and try to start an underground relationship with her, you are a fool! The phrase "she went back to the United States" made Ella haunted.

Mu Jiangrong drank the wine in the toast, raised the glass and turned around to signal Brooke to have another glass. At the same time, he sighed softly behind Yi Lan's back. Of course he knew what Iran wanted to hear. There should be an explanation for the sudden loss of contact back then. However, this was the last thing he wanted to mention to Ilan. What to say? He quickly organized the language in his mind.

"Ten years ago, I went to propose to you, and I had an accident on the way to your house." Mu Jiangrong didn't breathe, he finished the important information in one breath, and then slowed down his speech, and then continued, "I went to the United States for treatment there, but because of physical reasons, there is no way to contact you. ”

Seeing that Yi Lan didn't react, she just stared at herself, with a scrutinizing gaze. Wasn't that what she wanted to know? Does she care about his marriage to Scarlett?

Mu Jiangrong couldn't help but show a slightly smug smile. It turns out that Yi Lan also has him in his heart, otherwise how could he care so much about the existence of other women around him. However, this is another topic that Mu Jiangrong does not want to talk about.

Mu Jiangrong was thinking about how to explain the problem when Yi Lan broke the silence.

"Why, I saw the news that you died in a car accident?" Yi Lan has seen Mu Jiangrong's face show the same smile on his face more than once since she was a child, proud, complacent, and unpredictable, especially after he teased her when she was a child.

But none of this matters, she came to the appointment today, just to find out one thing, what was going on with the report back then.

"Sometimes, I too, have the delusion that I, once, did once." Mu Jiangrong's face showed an extremely complicated expression. He tried his best to express the meaning more precisely, but he just couldn't put into words how he felt.

This question also puzzled him for many years. Scarlett said it, and the second sister also said it, as if everyone close to him had the same dream. He had asked them separately, and each of them was strikingly consistent in their descriptions of the dream scene and the conversations they had with the others at his funeral.

Yi Lan stared at Mu Jiangrong's expression, he seemed to be more confused than himself. Could it be that the media did not conduct an in-depth investigation and the report was distorted? There is also such a thing.

But what about the handbook? Peng's heart is dry? But she clearly covered it up well in front of them, so she wouldn't worry about her thinking about things and people, and doing this kind of stealing and changing pillars.

The most important thing, what about those memories of yourself? Is it because he has had too many dreams about him and confused reality with dreams? But none of this matters, Mu Jiangrong seems to be recovering well, and she is reappearing in her life in good spirits, it's so good!

Yi Lan admired and thanked the woman who was Mrs. Mu Jiangrong, and again, again, Yi Lan didn't come out.
