Chapter 62: The Return
Through the clouds and the ocean, Xu Xiangsi came to a foreign territory.
The entrance to Ondoshima University is in an elegant Western European style, which is completely different from the old decoration of Kyoto University, and the entrance is filled with young foreigners of different skin colors and accents.
Xu Xiangsi looked at these exotic landscapes and took a deep breath.
Maybe in this strange place, she can really forget the cold ink, dilute the love and can't live a new self.
"Sisi?"
A voice suddenly sounded behind Xu Xiangsi, and she squinted her eyes and looked back, and couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw Ji Weiyang standing not far away with a haggard face, looking at her with surprise in his eyes.
"Sisi, why did you come here?" Ji Weiyang stepped forward and asked cordially.
Xu Xiangsi took a step back, kept his distance from the boy, and said with a cold expression, "Could it be that classmate Ji is also a student?" It's a shame that we're meeting again. β
There was deep pain in Ji Weiyang's eyes, "Sisi, you listen to my explanation, I was really forced to do so that day, and I didn't mean to leave you alone!" β
Looking at Ji Weiyang's guilty and sad face, Xu Xiangsi was in a complicated mood.
Is he to blame? How could it be, he took care of the person he didn't leave all night, but in the end, he still threw himself a breakup letter, gave her tenderness, and then took it all back, which was a little worse than Leng Mo's cruelty?
"Enough, Ji Weiyang, let's stop entanglement, didn't you say to break up with me? Now I promise you to your face. β
However, Ji Weiyang grabbed her arm, "Sisi, I didn't write that breakup letter!" I also found out later, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have just left that day, I really regret it, could you please give me another chance? β
Looking at the boy's pleading face, Xu Xiangsi hesitated.
That's right, if Ji Weiyang really disliked her, he would definitely not do so much for himself that night.
"Sisi, you see, God won't let us break off our fate, I'm here, you're also in this university, let's start over, this time I will definitely not let you down, okay?"
Xu Xiangsi looked at the boy in front of him hesitantly, and then spoke after a while: "Wei Yang, I just want to study carefully now, and put aside my feelings in advance." β
Ji Weiyang slowly let go of her hand, pursed her lips and said, "I understand, Sisi, I won't give up, I'll chase you again." β
Xu Xiangsi smiled faintly at him, turned around and walked into the school gate.
Time flies, and the white horse flies, three years later.
Ben Thanh is a more prosperous coastal city than ever, with towering high-rise buildings soaring into the sky, showing the city's vibrancy.
One of the most representative of the city's luxury and high-grade Yining Hotel, at the moment there are many people gathered, a lively scene, elite men in suits and leather shoes with women with exquisite makeup shuttle through the venue, talking to each other, each of them is a person with a head and a face.
Today, the reception is held here by the mayor who has been in the dark for many years, so people from all circles come to participate in order to give the mayor a face.
In the brightly lit hall, there are A-list celebrities smiling and smiling at the hands of handsome men, as well as shrewd business dark horses, and recently rising political stars.
However, when a man came in at the door of the hall, almost all of them turned their eyes to him.
As one of the invitees, Leng Mo naturally also attended this more important reception.
The well-tailored haute couture suit perfectly outlines the man's golden ratio figure, the meticulous big back brings out the cold temperament around him to the fullest, and the sculptural facial features make it impossible for those present to shift their attention to him.
In three years, the once perfect man has been built into a sharper and more courageous man.
Li Manxue, who was holding Leng Mo's arm, was unprecedentedly satisfied at this moment, and her vanity made her deliberately ignore the speculative gaze of others.
"Mr. Leng, I'm glad to meet you."
When the mayor saw the man, he politely left a few people around him and stepped forward to greet him in person.
At this time, the others also understood that even as the mayor, they had to devote twelve points of energy to entertaining this business leader.
After a short period of focusing, people in groups of three and two got together to communicate, but this time the focus was obviously on the helm of the Leng family.
"Hey, that Miss Li is here again this time? Is she really the hostess of the Leng family? β
A popular movie star looked at Leng Mo from a distance and couldn't help but gossip.
As soon as she opened the box, the other immediately answered: "What, that Li Manxue has long been removed from the Leng family, haven't you heard that he was just a hotel manager before?" With a family background like the Leng family, it is impossible for her to marry. β
A man next to him also smiled: "I heard that it was because Mr. Leng's parents disagreed, alas, there are many rules in wealthy families, and it's strange to be able to climb up, and my family doesn't allow me to find a woman casually." β
Several people sighed for a while.
The meaning of today's cocktail party, anyone with a discerning eye knows what the mayor wants to convey, is nothing more than because the only son has returned to China and is about to take over his position, so people from all walks of life can take this opportunity to contact and communicate.
However, what everyone is curious about is not how much turmoil Ji Weiyang will set off after taking office, but the mysterious fiancΓ©e he brought back from abroad.
Leng Mo was not interested in the private affairs of the Ji family at all, he came to the drinking party just for the necessary communication, and he was comfortable with people and wrongs.
Finally sent a few acquaintances, Leng Mo turned around and was about to put down the wine glass, but as soon as he moved his foot, a ball of pink and tender unknown creatures suddenly rushed to his feet, and had a close contact with his straight trousers and clear leather shoes.
"Hmm!" As if it had hit its nose, the little thing rubbed the tip of its nose and fell to the ground.
Leng Mo looked at it and found that the rampaging little guy turned out to be a little girl who looked two or three years old, wearing a pink princess dress, with fleshy cheeks that seemed familiar, and she looked very cute.
There was actually a child in this hall full of adults, which made Leng Mo feel a little surprised.
"Whose child is this, what is running around?" Li Manxue whispered a word of blame.
Little Lori raised her head, looked at the two adults with big watery eyes, and said in a milky voice: "Whose aunt is this, why should you train me?" I didn't hit you, it was this big brother, but my brother didn't speak. β
Li Manxue's face turned red, she was rejected by such a cute little Lori, she couldn't say a word, and what was even more depressing was that the other party called Leng Mo "brother", but she called her "aunt"!
Leng Mo raised his eyebrows, squatted down and looked at Xiao Lori.
"Why do you call me 'brother'?"
No wonder Leng Mo is so curious, it's really because no one has ever called him that, it sounds quite novel at first glance, and his meticulous outfit, no matter how young he looks, no one will dare to call him "brother".
Little Lori blinked and replied softly: "Because you are good-looking." β
Leng Mo scratched the tip of her nose, "Good, call uncle." β
When Xiao Lori heard this, she immediately pursed her lips, her face full of reluctance and grievance, and her appearance could simply make people's hearts change.
"Yuanyuan."
A voice came, and Ji Weiyang's tall figure appeared in front of the three of them, and the little girl known as "Yuanyuan" immediately turned her head, got up and ran towards the man.
Ji Weiyang squatted down and held the girl in his arms, his eyes were full of doting, and Xiao Lori softly called out: "Daddy"
Leng Mo stood up, a little surprised in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he greeted him very officially and detachedly: "Fortunately." β
His senses for Ji Weiyang are not very good.
"Long time no see, Mr. Leng." Three years have passed, and Ji Weiyang, who was a little young back then, has matured a little more, and his aura around him has become more calm, but he still doesn't know the severity of his words, "I didn't expect you to come to the Ji family's drinking party, it's really surprising." β
Li Manxue on the side raised the corners of her mouth, "Ji Gongzi is also quite surprising, you just graduated from college, right?" They all have children. β
As soon as Ji Weiyang was about to speak, a young woman with a graceful body walked over from behind, bent down and held Xiao Lori's hand, her eyebrows full of reproach.
"Yuanyuan, why are you running around again? So naughty, Mom won't buy you pudding to eat later. β
Little Lori pursed her mouth and stared at the woman with an aggrieved face, "Mom, I didn't run around, I just wanted to come and see this brother." β
Li Manxue looked at the woman who came out in a daze, never expecting that the other party would come back.
This young mother, who has not been affected by time at all, is Xu Xiangsi, who has been away for three years.
It is said that "time is not forgiving", but the three years have not left a trace on Xu Xiangsi's face at all, but it makes her look much more elegant.
"What brother?"
Xu Xiangsi raised his head with his eyebrows twisted, saw the two people in front of him clearly at a glance, and finally reacted after being stunned for a few seconds, showing a decent faint smile at them.
"Mr. Leng, Miss Li, long time no see."
In the past three years, Xu Xiangsi has learned to face the restless heart pressed by the cold ink, and the calm greetings are just like a nodding friend on the other side.
Li Manxue twitched her lips, although she smiled a little reluctantly, she still maintained a certain elegance, "It's been a long time." Is this - your child? β
Xu Xiangsi nodded, then turned his head and pretended to be serious: "Yuanyuan, don't call it casually, this Mr. Leng can't be called 'brother', you know?" β
Yuan Yuan flattened his mouth, "Got it." β
Ji Weiyang couldn't look at it from the side, and said busily: "What's the matter, it's nothing to let her shout." β
"Viyan, you can't always spoil her, you spoil her." Xu Xiangsi said, smiling apologetically at Leng Mo, "I'm sorry Mr. Leng, the child is not sensible, I hope you don't care." β
