Chapter 1: Father's Friend
Jiang Yue first met Zhang Liuling when she was fourteen years old.
Zhang Liuling was twenty-four years old that year, which was the prime of life, and he sat in the living room of her house, and was the guest of honor in her house.
At that time, Jiang Yue had just gone downstairs to practice piano lessons, because the weather outside was cloudy and cold, and the nanny at home was holding a thin shirt to wear for her.
But Jiang Yue felt that the thin shirt was too ugly, and when the nanny put the thin shirt on her, she had been squeamish and domineering since she was a child, and pulled the ugly thin shirt from her body, and then threw it on the ground and stepped on it a few times: "I don't wear this gray color, don't want it if you say don't!" You're so annoying! ”
The nanny was at a loss because of her sudden anger.
At this moment, Jiang Yue's mother was on the sofa in the living room and asked aloud, "Jiang Yue, what kind of demon are you doing?" ”
At that time, Liang Jiangyue heard her mother's voice, turned her face to look at the sofa in the living room, and when she turned her face, she saw a man in a suit sitting on the sofa, the man's face was clear and soft, sitting under the bright light, but his expression was cold and lonely, as if no one was close to him.
Even though Jiang Yue, who was very young, her aesthetics were not yet civilized, but that person made Jiang Yue think of only four words, he made this gloomy weather bright and light.
The man was also looking at her, his expression was faint, and he actually smiled at her.
Liang Jiangyue didn't even come back to her senses from his smile, and her mother, Mrs. Jiang, scolded: "Jiang Yue, this is Mr. Zhang, he is your father's friend." ”
His father has many friends, but there are not many people who can make her mother treat him like this, Liang Jiangyue can't help but guess his identity.
Then, after her mother finished scolding, as if she was afraid of disturbing the man, she said to the nanny, "Mother Yu, hurry up and dress her and take her away." ”
The nanny was about to take her away.
Jiang Yue has been stubborn since she was a child and has a bad personality, and after her eyes were withdrawn from the strange man, she scolded Yu's mother, who sent her to piano lessons: "I said, I don't want to wear this dress, you made my mother scold me." ”
Where did the nanny dare to speak, so she had to lead her and leave quickly.
When the two were leaving the hall, Jiang Yue faintly heard her mother say to the man, "Zhang...... I'm sorry, sir, that little girl is naughty and made you laugh. ”
After listening to this, the other party replied to Mrs. Liang in a brisk tone, "It's okay, it's very cute." ”
That sentence seemed a little far away because of Jiang Yue's departure, but Jiang Yue, who had sharp ears, still heard it, and after getting to the car, she was very angry and said, "I'm not cute, I'm beautiful." ”
She hates when people describe her as cute, and in her opinion cute is a word used to deny pretty.
This is an insult to Jiang Yue, who has loved beauty since she was a child and is proud like a peacock.
Therefore, I was resentful of the cuteness of that person's casual words.
This was also the first meeting between Jiang Yue and Zhang Liuling.
The second time they met, it was Jiang Yue's fifteenth birthday, and the family held a banquet for her, inviting many celebrities from high society.
On that day, Jiang Yue was dressed extremely beautifully, like a princess, proudly showing her fifteen-year-old immature beauty to everyone.
But that night, something happened that made her unhappy.
It was her brother who took a glass of juice and splashed her dress.
She quarrels with her six-year-old brother in the room, but she is scolded by her father, saying that she is not sensible at all and only bullies his brother.
How she let it, how she bullied.
It was her favorite dress, a gift from her father on her birthday, but it was destroyed and soiled by her younger brother, she cherished it so much, she thought that her father felt as sorry for that dress as she did, but what she didn't expect was that her father felt sorry for her brother and blamed her.
Jiang Yue felt very sad, holding her skirt alone, huddled in the dark room and cried in a low voice.
It should have been a crowded day, but no one paid attention to her at this moment.
She cried louder and louder.
And just then, in the dark room, the door was pushed open, and a glimmer of light leaked through the crack in the door.
Jiang Yue's crying stopped, and she looked towards the door, and from her line of sight, she only saw half a black trouser leg and a pair of adult men's leather shoes.
Jiang Yue's eyes hurt because of crying, and she couldn't see who the person standing at the door was, so she only asked there with a crying voice: "Who are you?" I can't see with my eyes, I can't see you. You must think I'm pitiful, my parents only love my brother, not me, but it's not fair that I love them so much. ”
The man at the door did not move, but stood there for a long time.
Because the room was carpeted, there was no sound when walking, but Jiang Yue felt that the person at the door seemed to be coming, and then a dark shadow squatted beside her in the dark.
Liang Jiangyue's eyes were still blurred, only staring at the black shadow in the darkness.
In the next second, a pair of hands lifted her chin, and Liang Jiangyue smelled the sandalwood incense on his body.
The hands gently wiped her tears on her face: "A beautiful face is the most unsuitable for tears." ”
His voice was like a jade falling to the ground, cold and mellow, Liang Jiangyue's body was tightened, it was his father's guest, the man who praised her cuteness that year and was hated by her for a long time.
She didn't expect him to be there tonight.
He said she had a pretty face, and she suddenly forgave him for complimenting her on her cuteness that year.
"Nobody cares about me." After she said this, her domineering personality began again: "Today is my birthday, why are you here?" Did you send me a birthday present? ”
The other party was very tolerant of her domineering, squatting beside her and asking, "I was attracted by your crying, what do you want?" ”
"I want beautiful jewelry, I want to go to the playground, I want to watch fireworks."
At a young age, he spoke wildly, his ambitions were not small, and he wanted a lot.
She admits that she is a little greedy, but she is also very honest, even if he is angry when he hears it.
But who knows, he asked, "These will make you happy on your birthday?" ”
In the dark room, she replied, "Of course." ”
"Okay." He laughed.
She was excited: "What's your name?!" ”
He didn't have an elder frame at all, as if he introduced herself as a peer: "My surname is Zhang, Zhang Liuling." ”
Zhang Liuling? It's a mouthful name.
Just when Jiang Yue was trapped in his name.
At this moment, footsteps came from the corridor at the door outside, the voice of the secretary next to my father, asking the servant: "Isn't Mr. Zhang here?" Mr. Zhang should be toasted. ”
Jiang Yue felt the people around her get up.
"Alright, I have to go, pretty little girl."
Jiang Yue returned to her room that night and saw a gorgeous and beautiful ruby necklace, which was the most beautiful gift she had ever received when she was so old.
Not only that, but every year after that, on her birthday, he would come and give her the gift she wanted the most.
