Chapter 39: The Gift
The two chatted for a while, and the conversation turned to the start of school tomorrow.
"By the way, you live so far away, I'll ask the driver to pick you up tomorrow morning, right?"
Shi Nuannuan subconsciously refused: "No need, I'll just go by myself tomorrow." ”
Asked Qin Langhui to send her to school to report this morning, Han Munian has been keeping a straight face since he came back, and he didn't say anything superfluous, and the atmosphere was deadlocked until he changed his clothes and went out in the evening. She was already nervous enough in her heart, how could she dare to promise Qin An'an to pick her up without permission.
"It's okay, it's pretty fast anyway. Don't forget that you're going to be there tomorrow at eight o'clock, your place is too remote and it's inconvenient to take the car. Qin An'an thought about her.
Of course, Shi Nuannuan knew that she was doing it for her own good, and it was not pleasant to deceive her good friends, but she couldn't change anything for the time being except for concealment.
"An An, I really don't need it, that ...... The uncle said that he would take me to school tomorrow morning, after all, he was also half of my guardian and wanted to go to the school to see how I was doing. She racked her brains to make up a high-sounding reason, "You also know that my situation can't be known by others, it's a bit special, so let him pretend to be my parent, do you think it's okay?" ”
Qin An'an was suspicious, and was relieved when she saw that she said this: "Okay, then we'll see you at school tomorrow." ”
"Well, see you tomorrow, bye."
"Bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Nuannuan finally sighed, shook his head, and threw Han Munian's big iceberg behind, and devoted his mind to the words in front of him.
She didn't know at all that even though Han Munian was sitting in the middle of the major presidents at this time, his mind didn't know where to drift - he was reflecting on whether his attitude towards Shi Nuannuan was too indifferent? Will it scare her?
Thinking of the scene of his petite figure hiding behind the railing of the corridor on the second floor and peeking at him before he went out, coupled with her sincere and eager explanations after dinner, he suddenly regretted it a little, obviously he didn't really blame her, but he just couldn't open his mouth to say a word of forgiveness to her.
Thinking of this, he rubbed his eyebrows, and for the first time he hated his dull personality of not being good at words.
Jing Ruofeng, who was sitting next to him, saw him frowning, and thought that he was dissatisfied with the boss who spoke just now, and asked in a low voice, "You don't agree?" ”
"What?" He looked up at the sound, his face was still cold and hard, but there was a moment of trance in his eyes.
Jing Ruofeng could see at a glance that he was absent-minded, presumably not because of the person who spoke just now, so his mind moved, and he asked, "The one who is thinking about the family?" ”
Han Munian didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either, he took a sip of tea, and his expression returned to normal, as if the person who deserted just now was not him, which made Jing Ruofeng look surprised.
He didn't expect him to be really emotional, and suddenly he really wanted to meet that "little girlfriend" and see what kind of girl could make the boss like a monk so longing.
The dinner continued, and the people around were full of people and lively. Many leaders of groups and enterprises came to toast with wine glasses.
Jiang Chengyan didn't know where he had gone, so Jing Ruofeng and Qin Langhui drank the most. Han Munian stood there alone with half a glass of wine, his attitude was not indifferent but also alienated, the heads of some small companies did not dare to come forward to respect him at all, and a few famous group presidents in Liangcheng had the courage to take the initiative to respect him.
The people who came to toast were all sipping a glass, but he took a sip and never drank too much. Those who are familiar with his temper know that this is already a very face-saving performance, otherwise he will not even look at those who are not in his eyes, and treat you as air to hang aside, which is called embarrassment.
After drinking in one round, Jing Ruofeng and Qin Langhui each drank at least two bottles of red wine.
At this time, Jiang Chengyan was late, and handed a small paper bag in his hand to Han Munian: "Boss, let's see if the thing is right." ”
The logo printed on the paper bag is a Parisian jewelry brand, which is very niche and much more expensive than ordinary jewelry, and is one of the jewelry brands that Han Munian often buys.
Opening the black velvet gift box, a delicate diamond necklace catches everyone's eye - six oval green diamonds are evenly set around the round yellow diamond, which together looks like a sunflower. It is also dotted with a few crystal clear white diamonds, lively and elegant, very novel style, I am afraid it is privately customized, and the design fee should also be a large amount.
What's more, all the things he Han Munian bought were in the best condition, and the market price of that yellow diamond alone was more than one million, and the entire necklace would never be able to be bought without five million.
Qin Langhui healed the scar and forgot the pain, and blurted out: "Boss, is this for Nuan Nuan?" ”
The words he said were like water spilled out, Jing Ruofeng and Jiang Chengyan couldn't reach out to cover his mouth, Han Munian "snapped" and closed the jewelry box, and directly killed him with a knife in the eye, which scared him into a tremble.
"You don't have a long memory lately?" His voice couldn't hear emotion, but it was just enough to reveal hidden anger.
"I didn't ...... No, it's my sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law ......" He quickly changed his words, shrunk his neck, and hid behind Jing Ruofeng without any interest.
But maybe because he got what he wanted, Han Munian didn't embarrass him much, got up and put on his coat, carried the paper bag in his hand, and said hello to them: "Go first." ”
Jing Ruofeng nodded, knowing that he must have gone back to the cherry blossom garden: "Okay, be careful on the road." ”
"Boss, walk slowly......" Qin Langhui weakly lay behind Jing Ruofeng and said goodbye to him, but of course he didn't get a response.
Seeing his tall and handsome back disappear into the night, Jiang Chengyan dared to reward him with a burst of fried chestnuts: "Tsk, have you hit an evil spirit recently?" Do you have a long brain? ”
Qin Langhui pouted: "The boss is so cold, and he has never been in love, who can stand his temper." If Nuan Nuan hadn't met the boss first, I think she would be more suitable for me. ”
Jing Ruofeng's eyebrows jumped, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart: "Don't tell me that you have a crush on her?" ”
Qin Langhui drank the whole glass of wine in front of him in a rage and didn't speak.
Jiang Chengyan pressed his temples with a headache: "Okay, forget it if we hear this, don't say it again in the future." You know what the people in the store said when I went to pick up the necklace? They say it's the first time the boss has ordered jewelry for the opposite sex, and you should know what that means. ”
This news was unexpected by the two, they didn't expect that even Yu Peilin had not enjoyed such treatment before, after all, the matter between the two was very popular in Liangcheng at that time, and he had also brought people over to the party between their brothers a few times, and they thought that the two were really together. As for why it was inexplicable after that, Han Munian never mentioned it, and they didn't dare to ask more.
Qin Langhui pursed his lips and lowered his head silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
After the dinner, the driver of the Jing family parked the car at the main entrance, but before the driver opened the door, the rear door was pushed open from the inside, and a lively and beautiful girl jumped out of the car and pounced on Jing Ruofeng without saying anything.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand and pushed, but he didn't push it for a while, and after seeing who she was, he wrinkled his eyebrows: "Minxi? ”
"Brother Ruofeng, Min Xi misses you so much!" Luo Minxi said coquettishly, not minding the eyes of others at all, hanging on his body and refusing to let go.
Duan Yuwei also followed and walked out of the car, her voice was still soft, but the expression on her face was a little ugly: "Ruofeng." ”
Jing Ruofeng quietly dragged Luo Minxi off his body, dusted off the folds on his suit jacket, and said "um" to her.
"Yo, isn't this Minxi, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Qin Langhui met Luo Minxi because of Jing Ruofeng's father Jing Lian, and knew that she had always liked Jing Ruofeng, but she never said it.
"Hello Brother Langhui!" Luo Minxi waved her hand and greeted him with a smile.
Although the greeting was a greeting, Qin Langhui still knew who the genuine Mrs. Jing was, so he nodded to Duan Yuwei and greeted: "Second sister-in-law, it's hard to pick it up in person so late!" ”
Duan Yuwei smiled softly: "It's not hard, Ruofeng just came back from this business trip, and he must have drunk again in the evening, I thought about coming over early to pick him up and go back to rest." ”
Her virtuousness shows Luo Minxi's ignorance, Luo Minxi obviously can't get used to her attitude, and turns her face to Jing Ruofeng again: "Brother Ruofeng, today is a banquet for Sister An An, right?" Did you give her a gift? I'm also in my third year of high school, why don't you give me a school gift? ”
"I forgot about the business trip in the past two days, and I'll ask my mother to send it to you another day." Jing Ruofeng looked at his father's face, and coaxed patiently.
"Don't, it's too troublesome to let Aunt Jing send it over, or I'll come and get it myself, right? When are you home? Why don't I go to your office and look for you? Luo Minxi didn't give him the slightest chance to refuse, and said cracklingly.
Her undisguised favor made Duan Yuwei unable to hold the smile on her face even if she had a good upbringing, and she bit her lip and sank her face.
At this time, many people had already noticed the movement at the door and looked over one after another, and things seemed to have become out of control.
And Qin Langhui and Jiang Chengyan could only stand aside and watch the play, and they couldn't help anything.
Jing Ruofeng was bored, took a deep breath, and regardless of Luo Minxi's objections, he stuffed her into the car in three or two clicks.
"You get in the car, too."
He only needed a look, and Duan Yuwei obediently followed him into the car.
"Gone."
The windows slowly lifted, and the car disappeared silently at the end of the path.
Jiang Chengyan lit a cigarette and took a puff, and said: "This Luo Minxi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if it is not handled well, I am afraid that the relationship between the two of them will have problems sooner or later." ”
"I saw it at the meal before I went to New York, it looks like the two of them had a quarrel?" Qin Langhui gossiped again.
Jiang Chengyan glanced at him: "You better take care of your own affairs, do you remember what you said?" Don't misplace that little bit of thought. ”
Qin Langhui responded indiscriminately, but it is unknown whether he listened to it or not.
