Chapter 24: A Chance Encounter of Calculation (2)
Tang Man patted her on the shoulder from behind, and she came back to her senses and was less confused.
"Jiang Yan, go downstairs for dinner?"
Tang Man has a pair of fox eyes, and his smile is particularly bright.
Jiang Yan said okay, let her go down.
Although the Ruan family is low-key, the vase board paintings placed on the floors are all high-quality, and the owner is a very tasteful person.
She stepped over the railing of the staircase, pretending to bend down inadvertently, and glanced quietly at the dignified man sitting on the sofa downstairs.
After a year of not seeing him, his appearance gradually overlapped with the appearance in his memory.
He has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and when he picks it carefully, it makes people unconsciously sink into it, and there is always a bit of unruly son-in-law in his eyebrows, which looks light.
But his gestures are full of the noble spirit of a good person, and his appearance always makes people a little afraid.
The mist in the teacup rose, and the outline of his wind became clearer.
He was drinking tea with the old man, his thin lips pursed slightly, and from time to time he gave a sentence or two as an opinion.
"He's just pretending, how can he be patient, he's completely fooling the old man."
Tang Man saw Jiang Yan staring at Ruan Jianglin, and said something beside him.
In fact, it's not completely foolish, and when he is in a better mood, he will indeed be patient with the old man to enjoy tea.
His mouth is accustomed to tasting products, and as long as the advice he gives is slightly improved, the taste of tea will naturally come up.
So the old man doesn't care if he's fooling around or not, he always likes to pull him to drink.
It's a chic family fun.
When they went downstairs, the old lady's eyes immediately moved over to take a look, and her gaze stayed on Jiang Yan for a few seconds.
Then he said to Aunt Li: "Let's start dinner when everyone is here." ”
The old lady's legs and feet have become more and more difficult in recent years, and it is almost impossible to walk without crutches.
Seeing her get up, Ruan Jianglin put down the teacup and reached out to help her, she has been reckless all her life, usually if the old man helps her, the old lady will definitely reach out to open the old man's hand, and then clumsily take her own crutches.
I insist on proving to others that I can still do it.
The old man sighed lightly, and the old man's eyebrows were a little less serious, but a little helpless: "Only if you help her, she will be obedient." ”
Help the old lady to the chair and sit down tightly, and then sit down herself.
When Ruan Jiang raised his eyes, he happened to crash into Jiang Yan's cold eyes.
His surprise was a little, but he didn't show it, probably because he didn't expect Tang Man's friend to be her.
She had a calm face, and followed Tang Man to call the old lady and the old man first.
The old man didn't respond, and scooped a bowl of health soup for his old woman.
The old lady lukewarmly asked her to sit down to eat.
Tang Man pulled out a chair and sat opposite Ruan Jianglin, and shouted before sitting down: "Little uncle." ”
Jiang Yan didn't make a sound, and sat next to Tang Man, she pretended to be calm, but the action of constantly holding her nails betrayed her, and she was full of nervousness under her calmness.
She couldn't stand Ruan Jianglin's scrutinizing gaze, and raised her eyes to meet his eyes.
His expression was a little playful, leaning on the chair and not moving his chopsticks.
He looked at Jiang Yan directly like this, which inevitably attracted attention.
"What, do you know this little girl?"
The old lady saw the clue at a glance and asked carefully.
Tang Man also raised his head, and the shocked expression on his face was not hidden.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for his answer, and even Jiang Yan's heart was furious for no reason.
Looking at him with a playful expression, his posture was sloppy, and the corners of his lips were hooked, as if he was thinking about how to answer this question.
Jiang Yan was both expecting him to admit it, but she was afraid that he would admit it, and she hadn't figured out how to explain it to Tang Man.
It also seems that he does not want to know his family in such a way.
"Guess." The corners of his mouth went up, and his tone was revealed.
He moved his chopsticks, and the old lady didn't bother with this problem anymore.
Although he didn't respond positively, leaving a question in people's hearts, it made Jiang Yan feel bottomless.
After a meal, there was an awkward atmosphere in the air, and there was nothing else except for the old lady and Ruan Jiang who temporarily said a word from time to time.
The exquisite dishes are tasteless in the mouth.
After the meal, Tang Man pulled her upstairs with an unnoticeable movement.
When Ruan Jianglin remembered that there was still Jiang Yan, he found that the person was no longer downstairs.
Jiang Yan sat on the sofa in the bedroom, Tang Man was removing her makeup in the toilet, and she looked at the car downstairs alone.
The phone rang, and she opened it to look.
In the man's usual tone, with a condescending tone: "Come down." ”
Jiang Yan didn't expect Ruan Jianglin to have his own phone, which was saved before he went to Qingsu last time.
He asked casually, and she did.
He never called, so much so that she didn't have a call record of Nguyen Jianglin on her phone.
When she went downstairs with her mobile phone, the old man and the old lady were no longer downstairs, leaving Aunt Li alone to work in the kitchen.
She looked around, but didn't see the man.
Aunt Li seemed to know that she was looking for Ruan Jianglin's figure, and turned around and pointed to her in the direction of the courtyard.
Jiang Yan nodded and thanked him.
Her pace of walking deliberately slowed down a little, originally expecting to see it, but now that it was only one step away, she hesitated a little.
The rainstorm came and went quickly, and the sky was clear as soon as the clouds were still overcast.
He stood beside the pool, tall and handsome, and from her point of view, he could see his smooth jawline very clearly.
He grabbed his pocket in one hand, and he didn't know what he was holding in the other, but when he saw that it was supposed to be fish feed, he moved slightly, and fed it into the pool.
The fish in the pond seemed to be so strong that if they could not get food, they would fight, and the water splashed out of the pool, wetting the corners of his sleeves.
He didn't seem to care, and continued to feed.
Jiang Yan got closer and found that the fish in the pond looked extremely scary, and he seemed to be able to see fangs when they were fighting for food.
Jiang Yan was afraid, and even the distance from Ruan Jianglin was a little far.
Seeing her stop, Ruan Jianglin glanced back at her, and his eyes were full of jokes: "Jiang Yan, what about playing with me and chasing after me?" ”
Somehow, the fish in the pond suddenly jumped, and the pond, which had just been overflowing with water after a heavy rain, shook some of the water and came out.
Jiang Yan frowned and unconsciously took a step back.
"Did I say this is a chance encounter?" She raised an eyebrow, in a tentative tone.
His trouser legs were also wet under the water in the pool, and he was too close to each other, and he didn't mean to retreat, so he naturally got wet.
His thin lips pursed slightly, the frivolity in his eyebrows and eyes dissipated, and he was more impatient, his mood changed very quickly.
He should not be in the mood to tease anymore, so he raised all the fish feed in his hand, and the fish in the pond suddenly jumped up and fought even harder.
"You think I'm stupid?" He hooked his lips and asked rhetorically.
Jiang Yan was a little confused about what he meant, and he was always ambiguous when he spoke, so that people couldn't test his meaning.
Jiang Yan didn't speak.
He looked at the center of the pool, where the restless group of fish had quieted down.
He suddenly thought of something funny, and said in a frivolous tone between his eyebrows: "Jiang Yan, do you know what our old man is feeding here?" ”
