"Nuan Nuan, you know the general situation." Lin Xiao patted her shoulder with pity, hugged her in her arms again, and sighed softly, "You have grown up and understood a lot of things, I know that this is not very fair to you, but when all the things are over, the Gu family will still ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, and be happy for a lifetime." ”

Jiang Nuannuan rested her chin on her shoulder and said softly, "But Aunt Lin, this is the only time I have accommodating and retreating." ”

She made the best choice after all her considerations, but this time, she was not without selfishness.

Lin smiled: "What do you mean?" ”

Jiang Nuannuan pushed her away, her face in the moonlight was cold and detached, "Since I entered the Gu family at the age of 13, although Gu Tingyan is not often by my side, I heard him say that every money I threw on my body was paid by him, and he would come back every year to celebrate my birthday, knowing my preferences, and would spend a lot of money to satisfy part of my desire for money, in fact, I should have understood." ”

In the Gu family, only Gu Tingyan is sincere to her.

It is also on the basis that Gu Tingyan, as the only son in the family, wants to be good to her, Lin Xiao took her in and took care of her, she never really liked herself as a person with a foreign surname, so no matter how well-behaved she usually is, in Lin Xiao's heart, she is still a weight that can be discarded or traded at any time.

People who are used to being wealthy wives are indeed above the top, and there is no way to do it.

So based on this reason, Jiang Nuannuan chose to consume all her private emotions to accommodate once, she chose to retreat, she wanted to see what Gu Ting's banquet would be, he had said before that as long as he believed in him, as long as he was fine, the time to test him had come.

If he chooses to marry to settle all the crises, she respects and blesses him when he will always be her brother, and out of his guilt, she will have a bright future in this life.

If there is still room for things to turn around, he will try his best to settle everything and come to him, and she will also complete her studies step by step to realize her dreams, and she will be with him without hesitation, and the future is still bright.

At that time, she won't have any concerns.

摆在她面前的人生其实怎么选都不会差，她充分利用了所有人，进退有度，算计满满。

Lin Xiao looked at her calm expression, and there was a kind of embarrassment in her heart that the fig leaf was torn off, she held her arm, "Nuan Nuan, I don't have feelings for you, after a few years of getting along, unless my heart is made of stone, I will be indifferent to you, really, there are really some things that are disgraceful, plus there is such a big thing at home, I hope you can understand my suffering." ”

“我明白，真的。 Jiang Nuannuan smiled and said gently: "So I chose to help the family, just this time, I gave up everything here." ”

Lin Xiao was a little guilty, she knew better than anyone that this girl was very innocent, but at the same time she was lucky, her ordinary life had changed her future life would not be bad, as long as she was not with her son, it would be fine.

I really didn't know what to say, Lin Xiao finally sighed, "Alas." ”

"Let's go in, it's time for us to cut the cake." Jiang Nuannuan got up from the swing, pulled Lin Xiao up and took her arm back to the banquet hall.

The four-story cake cart had been pushed up, and it was very late, and the guests all gathered around Jiang Nuannuan, she looked at the crowd with unfamiliar faces, and she didn't see Gu Tingyan for a long time.

She held the knife in her hand, thinking that he would not not come, and when she hesitated, the raised and bent arm could not fall.

姜暖暖偏头，轻轻问：“林阿姨，哥哥今晚还来么？ ”

Lin Xiao shook his head, "He didn't tell me, let's cut the cake first, now that the company is in a mess, he may not have time to accompany you." ”

Jiang Nuannuan nodded, "Hmm." ”

She looked at the little sugar man who was seven or eight points similar to her, and the moment she held the knife to cut the cake, the smile on her face that had been supporting her faded I don't know how much.

Lu Cheng saw the change in her expression very clearly, and said softly, "Gu Tingyan is not coming tonight?" His baby didn't seem to be in a good mood. ”

Fei Xin couldn't deny, "Who knows, it's not impossible to be broken by the enemy on the way." ”

Lu Cheng couldn't help laughing, "You are really resentful of him robbing resources and grabbing resources, didn't he just let go of giving you two last Valentine's Day." ”

Fei Xin snorted coldly, "Don't say it as if it's a charity, I don't know how long his big-tailed wolf will pretend to be, isn't it himself who will his father with his own hands, will he still be busy in the Gu family, do you believe it?" How many people's cakes have been touched by the emergence of the 'Liuxiang' app? 他现在两头公司跑，难免要出事。 ”

This is also the conclusion of her reasonable analysis, Lu Cheng listened, the smile on the corner of his lips narrowed, and he understood that it might be what she said, he put down his wine glass and turned to walk out, "I'll go out and make a phone call to ask about the situation, I can invest money in him, he can't let me lose money." ”

Jiang Nuannuan symbolically finished cutting the cake and sat bored on the sofa, inadvertently with the meaningful eyes of Fu Shiliu, the cheongsam woman came over and took a piece of cake, sat down beside her and said softly: "The court banquet has been busy recently, he must have eaten a piece of your birthday cake in the past, I will also try it today, and eat his share, can you be happier in your heart?" ”

听上去完全是嫂嫂对小姑子的话，莫名让人觉得不愉快。

Jiang Nuannuan is actually not a person who is very good at hiding her temper, especially when she knows that Gu Tingyan doesn't like Fu Shiliu, and the other party always likes to secretly remind her of something in front of her as a sister-in-law.

She will not offend people to death, and said leisurely: "Actually, according to Sister Fu's words, you are not my brother's only choice." ”

Fu Shiliu's face suddenly stiffened, "What are you doing with this all of a sudden?" ”

Jiang Nuannuan smiled with a smile in her eyes, "You are not the only woman who wants to be my sister-in-law, and there should be more than one woman who thinks the same as you, you are just a possibility, Sister Fu." ”

Fu Shiliu put down her fork, feeling a little more impetuous, "Don't you like me?" ”

"Okay." Jiang Nuannuan said honestly: "It's just a little pretentious, I don't think my brother will like it, I don't know if you know Hang Panxia, that TV star, she and cheongsam, complement each other, bright and beautiful." ”

The shallow meaning is that she Fu Shiliu can't even compare to a little star who sells her art, Fu Shiliu pulled the corner of her lower lip, left a sentence and got up with a calm face and left.

Jiang Nuan Nuan was comfortable, finished eating a whole piece of cake, and watched the people in the banquet hall become fewer and fewer, until 11 o'clock in the evening, she and Lin Xiao sent all the guests with the corners of their mouths smiling and sour.

Gu Tingyan still did not come back, and at the 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, he did not show up to celebrate her birthday.

Jiang Nuannuan couldn't say what she felt in her heart, in short, she was lost and sad, and there was indescribable sourness.

When the door of the Gu family villa was about to close, Lu Cheng's returning car stopped at the door, Lin Xiao stood by the door and watched him hurry down, stopped suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter?" Came back in such a hurry, something was forgotten here? ”

Lu Cheng stepped up the steps in a few steps, glanced at Jiang Nuannuan who was standing behind Lin Xiao, and said sternly to her: "Your brother has an accident and is now being rescued in Linggang Hospital." ”
