Chapter 31 She can be regarded as a member of our Chu family
How can you forget the choices you made?
The corners of Jiang Wan's mouth were overflowing with a shallow smile, but there was a little loneliness in his eyes.
Chu Wei's words seemed to have some magical power, Jiang Juan leaned on the back seat of the co-pilot, and that sentence lingered in her ears until the car stopped firmly at the door of the old mansion, and she came back to her senses.
The old mansion does not seem to be as magnificent as she imagined, and the elegant design is full of simplicity.
There are a few clusters of purple roses crawling on the fence in front of the door, exuding a faint fragrance.
The architectural style seems to borrow from some medieval churches, elegant yet solemn.
Jiang Wan looked at this unfamiliar environment through the car window, and his heart was full of complexity for a while.
"Be careful!" Jiang Xuan's left hand held the slightly bulging lower abdomen, and before she could get out of the car, she was supported by a woman in her forties, she was unnaturally stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised her feet and followed her.
Jiang Wan stood still, glanced around, and saw a long corridor, servants in uniform clothes standing respectfully, looking at her with a little curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes.
Jiang Juan knew that it was because of the child in her belly.
She took her arm back and said thank you.
Chu Wei walked in front, but as if he was deliberately waiting for her, his pace was much slower than usual.
"You're back."
She walked two steps quickly and followed, and when she raised her eyes, she saw an old man standing at the door of the villa not far away.
The old man's figure can be regarded as thin, his face is inevitably covered with traces of time, his loose practice clothes are blown up by the wind, and his tone is soft and majestic, like a master in a costume TV series.
Jiang Juan was stunned for two seconds before noticing that his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Chu Wei.
Chu Wei's grandfather, where should she have seen him, in the business newspapers?
"Hmm." Chu Wei nodded, hummed a word between his snorts, and pulled Jiang Juan past the old man.
The old man's face was still smiling, and his eyes fell on Jiang Wan's bulging belly intentionally or unintentionally, and the smile in his eyes deepened a little.
"Mother Wu, is the soup ready?" Chu Yin withdrew his gaze and asked the woman who was holding Jiang Juan just now.
Jiang Juan was led by Chu Wei, and sat down at the table as soon as she entered the door, the dishes looked very rich, and the faint smell of chicken soup made Jiang Juan smell her stomach, and she frowned unconsciously.
"Remove it...... Old Chu was thin, but the tone of his voice always made people feel strong and powerful, and before the words fell, the maid brought down the chicken soup in front of Jiang Juan.
Jiang Juan looked at the scene in front of him, and his frowning brows did not relax at all. What does Chu Wei's grandfather want to do? Although at this moment, she didn't have a good impression of Chu Wei in her heart, but in the Chu family's old mansion, surrounded by people she didn't know, she couldn't help but stroke her stomach and subconsciously looked at Chu Wei.
He leaned his arm on the back of his chair and watched the scene in front of him with interest.
"Xiao Wei, you are too busy with work, it is inevitable that you will not be able to take care of Jiang Juan, it is better to let her live in the old mansion for a few more days, and let Mother Wu also help her make up for her body."
Before Jiang Wan could chew the things in his mouth, he was choked by Chu Lao's words.
But she should have thought of it a long time ago, anyway, this kind of care is not because of her, but the child in her belly.
"No need, she has her own aunt to take care of." Chu Wei glanced at his watch and replied without raising his head.
This was originally a warm family gathering, but as soon as he entered the door, it was inexplicably filled with the smell of gunpowder, and Jiang Juan was silent, eating sullenly.
Chu Lao was not in a hurry when he heard the voice, and a shallow laugh came out of his throat: "Those people outside, can they have the experience of Mother Wu?" Don't forget that even you were brought up by Mother Wu. ”
Jiang Wan's hand paused slightly, and he still didn't dare to raise his head.
"Since you don't speak, let Miss Jiang stay for a few days, her body needs to be recuperated, and Mother Wu will take care of her." Chu Lao seemed to be a little impatient, put down the chopsticks, and his words were full of unspeakable resoluteness.
When Chu Lao left the table, Chu Wei's face was extremely cold.
Jiang Juan didn't think anything of it, anyway, she lived wherever she lived, and when she was led to the room by her subordinates, there was no fluctuation in her heart.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Wan pushed the door in, and the lights suddenly turned on a little dazzling, making her subconsciously take half a step back.
Chu Wei quickly grabbed her waist so that she would not fall backwards.
"Aren't you leaving?" Jiang Juan stood still, took away the hand he was holding onto himself, and deliberately stood a little farther away.
"So you want me to go?" Chu Wei sneered, and without waiting for her to retreat further, he grabbed her back.
Jiang Juan was a little irritable, and glared at him viciously, but the ruthlessness in her eyes gradually faded in Chu Wei's indifferent look, she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm still pregnant with a child." The rhetoric was full of defensiveness.
Chu Wei glanced at her with a smile and let go of the hand holding her: "Stay for a day first, go back with me tomorrow, and pack up your own habitual things." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Wan nodded and said nothing more.
There was silence between the two, and after a while, Jiang Wan was sleepy, raised his head, and was about to say something to Chu Wei, but saw that he just turned around and left in style.
Early the next morning, before Jiang Juan opened her sleepy eyes, she was pulled up by Chu Wei, and when she was stuffed into the co-pilot's seat, she was still ignorant and didn't know what was going on.
"What do you mean, old man? This old house of the Chu family has not lived in a woman for many years. ”
The man's light-colored broken hair was in front of his eyes, his carved jawline was raised, and a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were a little dangerous when he looked away.
He leaned against the side wall with the cuffs of his suit and glanced into the distance as he spoke.
"That woman already has a child, grandpa's meaning, it goes without saying!" Chu Feng pursed his lips, there were a few inconspicuous lipstick marks printed on the crumpled suit shirt, and the flush of wine on his face had not yet dissipated.
"If this continues, won't it make Chu Wei take advantage of it?" Chu Fan's brows shrank slightly, and his eyes looking at Jiang Xuan's guest room were full of hatred.
Chu Fan is the eldest son of Chu Wei's second uncle, and he also entered Chu's work after returning from studying in the United States a few years ago.
"Find a chance and start as soon as possible!"
"Be very careful, grandpa is not easy to fool over there, don't let him find out."
The cleaning maid heard the sound, wiped the hand of the vase, paused, and left the door of the small study with his feet raised.
After eating at noon, Chu Wei took Jiang Juan back to the old house, and the bodyguard held a large bag of small bags in his hand, as if he deliberately made it for Chu Lao, so much that people couldn't figure it out.
Saying that she should go back and pick up the things she is used to, he is more like helping her move the house.
Jiang Juan looked at the bags piled up on the ground, and pulled the corners of his mouth and couldn't laugh.
The two of them lived in the old mansion together, they all seemed to have some special tacit understanding these days, and no one provoked anyone by doing their own things, Jiang Juan was so idle that she could go for a walk in the back garden, but it was not as boring as she thought.
I don't know if Chu Wei's grandfather is like this, she has to tell her again and again a few times about everything, except for instructing Wu's mother to make all kinds of tonic all day long, she will be asked to accompany her to relax.
Chu Lao loves her very much, but Jiang Juan is lukewarm.
Time flies, and a few days have passed unconsciously, Jiang Juan lives in the old mansion, although she doesn't have to be in the same room with Chu Wei, but there are many inconveniences in her movements, she has wanted to contact Ye Su many times, but she was almost discovered, so that now, she doesn't know what happened to Ye Su's side, and Xiao Yi...... But in any case, she is now like a canary, trapped in the old mansion.
Chu Feng secretly observed Jiang Juan's every move all day long, but her grandfather was too protective of her, and there was always no suitable opportunity to start.
"Miss Jiang, the master asked you to go back early, the dew is heavy in the morning, and it is easy to catch a cold." Jiang Juan got up early in the morning, half-bent down to observe the dew on the petals, and before he got up, he had an extra light-colored cloak on his body.
"Well, thank you, Mama Wu......" Jiang Juan threw his cloak in front of him, but he didn't mean to go back at all.
"Miss Jiang, there is a banquet in the old mansion tonight, the lord means to order a dress for you......" Mother Wu pinched her hands, and her eyes moved along her beautiful shoulder and neck line to her bulging lower abdomen.
"Banquet? What kind of banquet, why haven't I heard of it before? Jiang Juan carefully folded off the petals that covered the dew, turned around and smiled at Wu's mother.
"Maybe this is what the old master wants the young master to tell you personally."
"That's it......" Jiang Juan subconsciously wanted to refuse, she didn't want to have anything to do with the Chu family, in what capacity would she attend such a banquet? The president of Ruio? Or is it Chu Wei's lover who threw it away, but accidentally had to pick it up because of the child? None of the identities Jiang Juan wanted.
Jiang Juan opened her mouth and was about to refuse, but she didn't expect that Mother Wu didn't plan to let Jiang Juan explain at all, and when Jiang Juan had already agreed, Jiang Juan couldn't say anything more.
In the evening, Jiang Juan's evening dress was delivered.
The white bandeau skirt is layered down, the upper edge of the sleeves is printed with rolling cloud lace, and the broken diamonds are set in the corners of the dress, and the special design covers her pregnant belly together.
Jiang Juan looked at himself in the mirror and was in a trance for a while.
"Miss Jiang, the master told you to go out." Mother Wu stood behind Jiang Juan, carefully tidied up the earrings for her, and said softly.
The meeting room was full of people, tall, short, fat and thin, but they were all well-dressed, and there were a few celebrities in the industry who had often appeared in the news before, and they were all standing in the crowd scattered.
Jiang Wan turned around and looked over, not only frowning. I don't know when the focus of the audience fell on her, and a few celebrities with red wine glasses pointed to her white gauze skirt and whispered a few words.
Chu Yin walked to Jiang Wan's side in the breeze: "Wanwan, these are our Chu family's relatives and friends." The smile on his face couldn't be dispersed, but Jiang Wan was stunned on the spot: "Today, I will introduce you to them." ”
Jiang Wan squinted her eyes and glanced at the dense crowd, and before her head turned around, she looked at the kind old man in front of her blankly, and her heart was suddenly full of complexity.
