Chapter 144: Old Friend
It's the same question again.
Jiang Zilin stared at her quietly and did not answer.
But Shen Peizhen seemed to know her answer, sighed lightly, and suddenly said, "I'll go to the bathroom." With that, he got up and went out.
Jiang Zilin waited for more than 20 minutes. The dishes are all ready, and Shen Peizhen has not come back yet.
She couldn't sit still any longer, picked up her phone and walked out, calling her while searching for her in the store, but suddenly stopped when she passed a private room.
The phone went through.
Shen Peizhen said on the mobile phone: "You eat first, I met an old friend, come over after a few words." ”
The voice of the words rang out clearly, overlapping the voices coming from the box.
The box door is not closed.
Before she could speak, she heard Shen Peizhen in the box say with a smile: "My daughter." ”
"I can't imagine that you're better off after the breakup, which really makes me envious and jealous." There was a man who answered, and his tone was frivolous.
Jiang Zilin frowned slightly when she heard this voice, and ended the call after answering the phone.
In the box, Shen Peizhen's voice smiled, "Okay, why didn't you open your mouth to keep me when we separated?" What do you mean by that? ”
"You still don't understand what I mean?" There was something in the man's words, "Didn't you say you loved me the most before......"
Jiang Zilin listened to the laughter in the box, and only felt that her hands and feet were instantly cold. She slowly squeezed her phone, suddenly raised her hand, and pushed the door in front of her open.
There was a "bang", and the sound startled the two people inside.
Shen Peizhen looked up and saw that it was Jiang Zilin, her angry expression instantly froze on her face, and she was stunned: "Zilin, why are you here?" ”
"Come and meet my mother's good friend...... Jiang Zilin didn't laugh angrily, and glanced at the man sitting next to Shen Peizhen. The man looked about thirty years old, with a thin figure and an elegant temperament, which made it hard to believe that those words just came from his mouth.
"You kid, why do you talk so weirdly?" Shen Peizhen glanced at her, and then said to the man embarrassedly: "Let's do this today, let's make an appointment another day when we are free." After speaking, without waiting for the man to answer, she took Jiang Zilin's hand in a little panic and dragged her out.
The two returned to their box. Jiang Zilin shook off her hand and asked coldly, "Old lover?" ”
"We had a while." Shen Peizhen lowered her head to avoid her scrutinizing gaze, and replied lightly.
"So you can talk like that?" Jiang Zilin looked at Shen Peizhen, feeling that she was so strange for the first time, "Mom, how much are you hiding from me?" ”
Shen Peizhen told her before that she loved Jiang Guohong, but what about just now? Aren't those words flirting?
"What is not being hidden from you?" Shen Peizhen was also a little annoyed by her repeated questions, "I told you that I met him for the first time in so many years, can't we be friends after breaking up?" Did you see us behaving more than we when you came in? ”
Jiang Zilin listened to her quibbles and smiled weakly.
"Looks like I can't eat this meal." She spoke, walked to the seat and picked up her bag, stared at the door panel in front of her as she passed by Shen Peizhen, and said, "You'd better not let Dad know." ”
"Jiang Zilin! Speak to me clearly! Shen Peizhen was slightly stunned, and when she reacted, she shouted in red ears, "What did you mean by that sentence just now?" You were convicted of a few words I said to my friends? I'll get back to me! I'm your mother! ”
Jiang Zilin left without looking back, leaving all her angry scolding behind.
After getting into the car, she hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed Jiang Gu's phone.
"Finished eating so soon?" Jiang Gu said with a smile.
Jiang Zilin was silent.
Jiang Gu gradually sensed that something was wrong, and his tone became serious, "What happened?" ”
Jiang Zilin chuckled, and after a while, she said abruptly: "It's the same whether it happens or not, you have seen her attitude towards me." ”
"Where are you?" Jiang Gu immediately asked.
"I'm fine." Jiang Zilin looked at the door of the private vegetable shop while saying this, Shen Peizhen hadn't come out yet, "I'm used to it." "I'm used to having hope, and I'm used to having hope easily crushed by Shen Peizhen.
"Maybe your mother...... has its own suffering. Jiang Gu's voice sounded, whispering comfort in her ear.
Jiang Zilin suddenly remembered something, and her eyes darkened.
Before today, she originally thought that Shen Peizhen was indeed in trouble. Because he loves Jiang Guohong too much, he intervened in Jiang Kexin's originally happy family and forced Jiang Guohong to abandon his original partner and marry him. is also because of guilt, Aijiang Kexin is better than himself.
"I'm back to work." Jiang Zilin retracted her thoughts and said to Jiang Gu.
The phone hangs up.
Jiang Gu stared at the extinguished phone screen, sighed, and put the phone on the table with a little irritability.
After a while, the bell rang again.
He thought it was Jiang Zilin calling, so he suddenly sat up straight, grabbed his mobile phone and pressed answer.
But it was Tao Meizhu's voice that sounded inside, "I have already chosen the venue for the wedding, when will you and Zilin come over to have a look?" ”
There was uncontrollable excitement and joy in her voice, "Make sure you're satisfied." ”
Jiang Gu was not interested, "I'll make an appointment with her in the evening." ”
"How did you get listless?" Tao Meizhu asked with concern, then remembered something, and was quickly diverted, "Your dad is still angry now, and he has time to take Zilin home for a meal." If the father and son have any overnight feuds, they can solve it after a meal. ”
"Are you sure he wants to eat with me?" Jiang Gu sneered, "He hasn't always hated this, I'm afraid that after I go back, he will have a little problem and rely on me." ”
Tao Meizhu said "ouch", she was so anxious that she was about to jump to her feet, "I don't think about yourself, I have to think about Zilin." Isn't your dad always stubborn and doesn't want to admit her, so you won't come back to do your dad's ideological work? Speaking of this, she threw out a straight sentence, "I finally got your father to agree, if you don't come, you can do it yourself." The call ended.
"I--" Jiang Gu's words were stuck in his throat before he could say anything.
As soon as the assistant entered the office, he clearly felt the low air pressure coming from him.
"Brother Jiang Gu." She walked over to his desk and cautiously called him.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Gu put down his phone and raised his eyes to look at her.
"It's meeting time." The little assistant said.
Jiang Gu was silent for a few seconds and ordered, "Change the time to tomorrow afternoon." I have something to do and I'm going to take a leave of absence later. Although Zilin told him that he was fine, he was still a little uneasy and wanted to go over and have a look.
"Huh? Oh. The little assistant was stunned for a moment before he realized what he said, responded with surprise on his face, and went out instead.
