Chapter 9 Why not
Love is an emotion that doesn't need a reason. It's like human tears, you want it, it will come out. And it's a natural phenomenon, there won't be any reason.
I am a very ordinary and ordinary woman, I have no mother since I was a child, and my father is a bastard, I have been used as a tool since birth. No one in this world will be good to me, only my fate is in the hands of others, and I can only do what they want to do, so that I can have a chance to live.
But these days, I feel a different feeling, this feeling comes from the cells in the body, the cells in this body are different from the skin on the outside, they seem to come to life, as if they are cheering, as if to tell me: "Be happy!" Be happy! "
I've never seen this strange feeling before, but I know that it must have something to do with my necklace, and perhaps that's the root of all the tragedies.
I lay on the bed and quietly reminisced about the brief hug just now, which was so warm and comfortable that I was a little enchanted that I even wanted to be immersed in it forever and never wake up.
So gentle, full of love and pity, so familiar, but not father's.
He wouldn't show me that look, he wouldn't hold me in his arms, and he wouldn't kiss the tears off my face with such a gentle motion. So who is that?
The sound sent my heart into arrest, and images flashed through my mind, and they were so messy that I couldn't figure out who was in them.
I try to calm myself down and stop thinking nonsense.
"Miss, it's time to take your medicine."
The shouts of the servants outside the door interrupted my train of thought.
I quickly gathered my mind, sat up from the bed, glanced at the medicine bowl that was already cold on the table, took the medicine bowl and drank it down, and then walked out of the room.
I walked down the stairs, and the servant immediately bowed his head respectfully in greeting. I smiled and waved at her, motioning for her to go down and rest, and she immediately turned away.
I walked slowly to the living room, and as soon as I reached the door of the living room, I heard a conversation.
This burst of speech belonged to the second lady.
"What do you think of this dress? I think it's a good fit for Satsuki. "
The second lady looked very satisfied and said, "You still know clothes, this dress looks so good on Yue'er's body." "
I looked up and saw that the second lady was wearing a light yellow skirt with a few white roses embroidered on the skirt, which set off her whole temperament.
The second lady is a very beautiful woman, although she is nearly fifty years old, she can be properly maintained, and she looks about forty years old, and her charm is still there.
My eyes roamed over the second lady, and beside her stood a tall and beautiful woman, wearing a pink cheongsam wrapping her delicate body, her long black hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head, and there were a few golden steps inserted in her sideburns, and her earrings were inlaid with diamonds, which looked extravagant.
My eyes fell on her clothes, the cheongsam looked gorgeous, but it gave a simple generosity without too much embellishment.
I was shocked, this is not the type I like. What I like is that kind of retro-style clothes, popular things like cheongsam, I don't like it, especially for people with the status of the second lady, wearing this kind of cheongsam is like a nouveau riche, and it can't match her identity at all.
"Mom, do you think this dress will be too plain on Xiaoyue, this dress is very good, I think it suits her temperament very well." The beautiful woman said.
My eyes fell on the beautiful woman again, although the cheongsam on her body looked inconspicuous, but the material was very good, and such material would never be available on the market.
I don't know this beautiful woman, but she is a friend of the second lady, and the second lady is a very smart and shrewd woman, and the friends she makes are certainly not simple.
I looked at this beautiful woman and suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
The second lady smiled and said, "This dress is indeed suitable for Xiaoyue, but ......" She deliberately sold it.
"But what, you should say it quickly!" The beautiful woman beside the second lady said hurriedly.
The second lady frowned slightly and said, "I think, Xiao Yue will definitely cause a sensation when she wears this cheongsam." "
The beautiful woman was stunned and said, "This is not very good. "
The second lady snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong, I want to see how many men she can seduce!" She laughed again.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but shudder, could it be that she was talking about me? Who is this beautiful woman? Why is it here?
"How can the second lady say that, Xiaoyue is a girl's family after all, she shouldn't do this kind of thing." The beautiful woman said with a bitter look.
"Hmph, this stinky girl, she is going to get married sooner or later, I think it will save you trouble in the future if you sell her early, but ......" The second lady changed her words and laughed again, "This stinky girl, she dares to play tricks with me, see how I clean her up today!" "
My face turned pale in an instant, the second lady is planning to ruin my life.
I quickly turned and ran away, but unfortunately I had only run two steps before I was intercepted by the servants.
"What are you going to do? Let me go! I shouted.
The servants said expressionlessly: "The master has commanded, without his permission, you will not be able to go anywhere." "
"What?" My voice raised an octave and I shouted, "Why! "
"Because ......," the servant paused for a moment, then continued, "because the master is your father, and the major events of your life are naturally subject to the master's decision." "
The second lady said with a smile: "That's right, I am the wife of your father's younger brother, and I am also half of your mother, so I have the right to deal with your life's affairs." "
"You're robber logic!" I said angrily, "What qualifications do you have to deal with my life's work, are you trying to sell me!" "
The second lady's face was gloomy, and she snorted coldly and said, "I'm a robber logic? Hahaha, then tell me about it, what is robber logic? "
"You ......," I couldn't refute.
At this time, the beautiful woman smiled and said, "Okay, don't argue, today is a day worth celebrating, we can't affect today's mood for a small thing." "
The second lady looked at the beautiful woman and said with a smile: "You will still be sensible, worthy of being my sister!" "
"Okay, okay, let's try on the dress first, or we'll waste time in a while." The beautiful woman urged.
The second lady looked at me with a smile and said with a smile: "Yue'er, if you also come to this banquet, I will see you off." "
I gritted my teeth and said, "I don't need your fake mercy, if you want to sell me, just say, don't pretend here, I won't eat your set!" "
"Smack!" The second lady raised her hand and gave me a slap, she stared at me viciously, and said, "Slut, I am giving you a chance to let you have a long experience, see that I don't teach you a lesson!" "
She raised her hand, ready to slap me again.
"Smack!" A hand grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
"Second lady, let me tell you, I won't marry myself off!" I gritted my teeth and said.
The second lady's face showed a hideous look, she shook off my hand and scolded: "You don't know your identity, let me tell you, you want to marry Linyun even if you are like you?" It's overwhelming! "
"You don't have to take care of my affairs, you just need to take care of your son." I said.
The second lady's face changed, she glared at me fiercely, and said, "Okay! Then you wait and see, one day, I will let you know how many pounds and taels I have! "
The second lady turned to leave, her back looking very arrogant.
I watched her leave and turned to look at the beautiful woman.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the woman in front of her who was very beautiful, with a bumpy figure, exuding a mature and charming atmosphere, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, looking very enchanting.
I secretly said in my heart, it turns out that this is the beautiful woman in the mouth of the second wife, I really don't dare to compliment, it looks far worse than my mother!
The beautiful woman's gaze also fell on me, she frowned slightly, her eyes became deep, and she asked, "You are Lin Xiaoyue?" "
I didn't answer, she chuckled and said, "It's beautiful." "
I couldn't help but shudder, what did she mean by this, did she want to......
The beautiful woman saw my fear, she chuckled, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you, but ......" She looked at the necklace on my chest, "This necklace on yours is a good thing!" "
"What do you want to do?" I asked vigilantly, this beautiful woman with a strange smile that made people panic.
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just think this necklace is very suitable for you, I think you are very suitable for it." "
"What?" I can't believe my ears, how could she be interested in my necklace!
A sly smile flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes, and she said, "Since I like your necklace, you can bring it for me!" "
I hesitated and said, "No, this is a relic left to me by my mother, and I won't give it away casually." "
"Hehe, then don't say any more relics, you are just a maid, a maid who is not even as good as a slave, how can you be qualified to have such a valuable necklace?" The beautiful woman sneered.
"I ......," I was a little helpless, "but ......"
The beautiful woman interrupted me and said, "Don't be, this is your only choice, if you refuse, then don't blame me for being rude." "
My heart sank, I looked at her face, this woman's expression was really terrifying, as if it was a hellish Shura.
"I ...... I do! I gritted my teeth and said.
The beautiful woman smiled with satisfaction, and she stepped forward, took my hand, took my hand, and then took out a red rope and tied it.
"Okay, you change your clothes first, and then go change your dress." The beautiful woman said.
I looked at her and said, "You go out first." "
The beautiful woman glanced at me and said with a smile: "Okay, you change slowly, I'll wait for you outside." "
I breathed a sigh of relief when the beautiful woman went out, as if she had some purpose for me.
But I don't know her, so why would she want to hurt me?
I looked around and saw that I was the only one in the room, and that my legs had regained sensation.
It seems that she didn't mean to kill me.
I changed into a black bandeau trailing skirt with a water-blue ribbon tied around my waist, which vividly outlined my graceful figure.
The skirt is embroidered with intricate patterns, which looks extremely gorgeous and is worth a lot of money at first glance.
I got dressed and walked out of the room.
As soon as I walked to the door, I met the second lady. The beautiful woman looked at me and couldn't help but exclaim, "Well, it's beautiful, it's even more beautiful than before." "
The second lady looked at the clothes on her body and said, "As long as it's not an ugly girl." "
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Alright, let's go." "
She took the second lady by the arm and walked out the door, while I followed the beautiful woman closely.
Along the way, I felt countless eyes fall on me, and I couldn't help but frown, why are so many people staring at me?
The second lady and the beautiful woman sat in the car, and the driver immediately started the engine, and the car slowly drove into the main street and headed towards its destination.
On the way, I watched the scene speeding by outside the window and couldn't help but fall into silence.
I knew I was going to a dinner party this time, but I didn't know what was going to happen at the dinner party.
I was so worried that I didn't even dare to speculate.
The car finally stopped in front of a mansion.
We got out of the car and walked into the mansion, where the interior of the hall was lavishly decorated and filled with the smell of resplendent gold.
I followed the beautiful woman, and I couldn't help but mutter, this guy doesn't want to hurt me, right?
While I was thinking wildly, a waiter greeted me and respectfully shouted, "Second Madam, Third Young Master, he has been waiting for you in the living room for a long time. "
The beautiful woman nodded and said, "Okay, you can go ahead first, and we'll just go upstairs by ourselves." "
"Yes." The waiter bowed respectfully, then stepped back.
"Let's go." The beautiful woman said lightly, and took the second lady's arm and went upstairs.
I lowered my head and followed the second lady, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
When we came to a certain door on the second floor, the beautiful woman pushed it open and said, "Xiao Feng, come out quickly." "
I looked up and saw a man in a tuxedo standing outside the door.
This man was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with fair skin, handsome features, thin lips, and a haughty appearance.
When I saw him, I was a little surprised.
This is not the first time I have seen this man, he is the man I hit in the hotel that day.
When I was in distress in the hotel, he was the one who saved me and treated me in my room.
At that time, I was thinking, this man's identity must not be simple, otherwise, it would be impossible to help casually.
"Lin Xiaoyue!" The man looked at me and shouted.
I was stunned when I heard him call my name, how could this man know my name?
I looked at him and said, "Yes, may I ask who you are?" "
"I am Jiang Linfeng, the future heir of the Jiang family." The man said proudly.
Hearing this, my heart chuckled, and the originally calm heart lake rippled, and I couldn't help frowning, is this man the heir of the legendary Jiang family?
How could he be here, is he also going to attend tonight's dinner?
This man knew what I was thinking when he saw my expression, and he said: "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to trouble you, I'm here to invite you to the dinner party instead of my father, don't worry, our Jiang family won't do anything to you." "
"Oh, thank you then." As much as I wondered why his father had suddenly been so nice to me, I knew that he must have some kind of scheme, so I decided to pretend that I didn't know anything for the time being to see what tricks he was up to.
"You're welcome, let's go." After Jiang Linfeng finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the elevator.
I followed.
came to Jiang Linfeng's room, this is a very ordinary room, but it can be seen that this man is very particular, and the room is very warmly furnished, which makes people very comfortable.
"Sit down." Jiang Linfeng pointed to the sofa and motioned for me to sit down.
I sat down, and he brought two more cups of tea and placed them in front of me.
I looked at him and didn't speak.
He took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that you have a grudge against the daughter of the Lin family?" "
I was stunned, I thought he would directly say that I was not worthy of competing with Lin Xiyan, but I didn't expect him to directly ask me if I had a grudge against Lin Xiyan.
"Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?" I asked.
"Because, I'm interested in you." Jiang Linfeng said.
There was frivolity in his tone, but I could feel his seriousness.
"Interested?" I asked, confused, "What do I have that interests you?" "
"Your eyes are very clear, there is no half-false feeling, I like it very much." Jiang Linfeng said.
I was a little surprised when he said this, I had never seen a man say such a thing to me.
Did he really take an interest in me?
But how is this possible?
This man is so handsome and has an aristocratic temperament, how can he be interested in me?
I looked at him and said, "If nothing else, then I'll take my leave." "
"Don't worry, we can talk slowly, can't we?" Jiang Linfeng said with a smile.
"Okay then, since you want to talk, I'll accompany you." I agreed to his request, after all, this man's strength is not bad, whether what he says is true or not, he can teach me something.
He looked at me and smiled.
This man's smile is really charming, and I am a little distracted when I see it.
"What's wrong with your face?" Jiang Linfeng noticed the red mark on my face and asked in surprise.
I looked down at my cheek, which was so swollen that I guess I accidentally bumped it when I fell.
I shook my head and said, "It's fine, it's just a minor injury." "
"Your face is not as simple as a small injury." Jiang Linfeng seemed to sense something, he stretched out his hand and pinched my cheek, and said, "Your face was swollen by someone, right?" Who is so vicious? "
"It's nothing, it's just a little thing, you don't have to worry about me." I smiled and said.
I don't want me to have anything to do with this man.
After all, the strength of the Jiang family is there, their strength is strong, and I, a little orphan girl, can't afford to mess with it at all.
"Really?" Jiang Linfeng said, "Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask anymore, but I still hope you can remember that I, Jiang Linfeng's woman, will definitely not be wronged." "
His tone was domineering and arrogant, as if he was the biggest king in the world, and no one could challenge his majesty.
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "I'm not your woman. "
"Even if you don't admit it, you can't change this fact, I said a long time ago that I'm interested in you." Jiang Linfeng said.
"I'm sorry, I'm really not interested in you." I said.
"I'll keep you interested in me." Jiang Linfeng smiled and said, "However, I won't force you, but I hope you can understand that the woman I like has never been obtained." "
"Then I'll see." I said.
"Hehe, interesting." He smiled and said, "Let's go, the banquet is about to begin, and in the evening, we can have dinner together, how about it?" "
"Okay." I said.
I don't know why he helped me, but his action touched my heart a little.
I don't hate him.
Because, he gave me a very comfortable feeling, not that feeling of being superior, and his eyes were very pure.
He took me to the banquet.
At this moment, the banquet scene is staggered, full of guests and friends, and it is a lively scene.
I followed Jiang Linfeng's side and shuttled through the crowd.
These people are dressed in different clothes, they are dressed in gorgeous dresses, and they have a big smile on their faces, and they talk and laugh here.
Looking at their faces, I can't help but feel disgusted.
Jiang Linfeng's eyes looked at me and said, "Miss Lin, you don't have to be too restrained, just treat yourself as the daughter of the Lin Group." "
His voice was gentle, shining on me like the warm winter sun, dispelling all the cold in my heart.
Hearing his words, I smiled and nodded.
I had a faint smile on my face and looked very sweet.
Seeing my smile, he smiled and led me to the corner to sit down.
He handed me the glass and said, "Drink a little and relax." "
I took the glass from his hand and took a small sip, which tasted sweet.
"How's it taste?" He looked at me and asked.
"Well, it's delicious, this wine is not very high,." I said.
"Miss Lin is really a smart woman, she can even drink this." Jiang Linfeng smiled.
"No, it's just that I'm more sensitive to alcohol." I said.
"Really?" He smiled, "However, Miss Lin, your state tonight is not very good, I hope you can return to your original state as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid that you will suffer." "
I couldn't help but be stunned.
What does he mean by that?
Am I in poor shape?
I don't know why, but I can't help but think of the image of me being pressed against the wall by a man last night, and the faces of those men, all black, their expressions were hideous, like devils, and I could even smell them.
It was a disgusting feeling that scared me.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
I looked up at him, shook my head, and said, "Nothing, I just feel, a little tired." "
"Really?" Jiang Linfeng asked, "Don't be too reluctant, your body is the most important." "
"Thank you for your concern." I smiled and said.
His gaze fell on my face, and I knew that he must have seen my abnormality.
Although I disguised it well, he was a man with a high IQ.
This man is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"If you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I will definitely help you." He said.
I nodded and said, "Okay." "
His gaze lingered on me for a few seconds, then looked away.
There were more and more people at the banquet, and the two of us stood in the corner of the banquet, inconspicuous.
"You wait here for me, I'll go get something." Jiang Linfeng said, "You wait here, don't run around." "
I nodded.
He turned and walked away.
I looked around and found that many people were looking for the daughters of celebrities they were familiar with.
These daughters, without exception, all have a variety of purposes.
I couldn't help frowning, these celebrities are so hypocritical, obviously for money, but they still have to pretend to be high, the Virgin Mary, it's really disgusting.
I pursed my lips in disdain and looked back.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder, which frightened me and turned my head suddenly.
I was startled when I saw a strange girl standing behind me, looking at me with big watery eyes.
This girl looks very young, about twenty years old, very delicate, wearing a white skirt, a ball head, a round face, and a very sunny smile.
She smiled sweetly at me and said, "Hey! "
Her smile looks clean and comfortable.
Her smile makes me feel like a spring breeze.
I looked at her, smiled, and said, "Hello, may I ask who you are?" "
"Oh, my name is Sumaila, I am the daughter of Su's company, my father asked me to come to this banquet, and it is the first time for me to participate in such a luxurious banquet, so, I don't know what to do." Sumela said.
"Sumaila, Su's Enterprise?" I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard her words.
Su's enterprise is a well-known enterprise in Jiangcheng, one of the top enterprises in Jiangcheng, and it is also ranked first in the entire Jiangcheng.
Although I have never been to Jiangcheng, I have also heard of its name, and it is said that Su's enterprise is a multinational company with many industries.
I can't figure out why the daughter of such a large company would attend such a low-key drinking party.
"What's wrong? You seem shocked? Sumela smiled and said, "I know, you may think it's strange why I, an eldest lady, would attend such a low-key drinking party, in fact, I don't want to participate in this kind of low-key party, but my father said that he hasn't seen anyone for a long time, and he wants to take this opportunity to get to know some friends." "
"I see." I said, "I thought you were here on purpose to make a handsome guy?" "
"Handsome guy?" Sumela was stunned.
I nodded.
"Huh." Sumera smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm really here to make a handsome guy, my father said that there are many people eyeing me, I have to find a support as soon as possible, otherwise, I will be bullied sooner or later." "
"What did your father do?" I asked.
"My father is the chairman of Su's enterprise, my mother is the president, and my younger brother is the vice president, so our three brothers and sisters have been accustomed to living a life of fine clothes and food since childhood." Sumela said.
Hearing her words, I couldn't help but gasp.
Such a family is indeed luxurious.
At this time, I saw Jiang Linfeng walking towards me, so I said, "I'm a little tired, I want to find a lounge to sit in, is it okay?" "
Sumela nodded and said, "Yes, I'll take you." "
"Thank you." I said politely.
"No thanks." Sumela said with a smile.
She led me out of the banquet and into the side lounge, which was lavishly furnished, filled with expensive vases, red wine on the table, and a variety of delicate pastries.
Sumela brought me a glass of champagne and handed it to me.
I took the champagne and took a sip.
A fragrant aroma filled my mouth, and I couldn't help but squint my eyes, this champagne really lived up to its name, and it tasted really good.
"What's your name?" Sumela asked.
I looked at her and said, "Lin Xiaoyue." "
"Satsuki? Good name, I love it. Sumela said, "It's your first time at a banquet like this, right?" But how did you come to such a banquet? "
I smiled faintly and said, "My father asked me to come." "
"I see." Sumela nodded and said, "You're so lucky, your father must love you very much." "
"yes." I said.
"I see you're very nervous, and I don't know how to comfort you, I just want to tell you, don't be nervous on such an occasion, there are some things that you just need to look at." Sumela said.
"Yes." I nodded.
"I'll go first, I still have something to do." Sumela stood up and smiled at me, "Goodbye." "
"Goodbye."
I looked at her back as she left, and a trace of doubt welled up in my heart.
Why do I feel that something is wrong with the way Sumela looks at me?
"Satsuki." Jiang Linfeng called me at the door.
"Here we are." I answered, drank the champagne from the glass, and handed the empty glass to the waiter.
Jiang Linfeng took me out of the lounge and into the banquet hall.
As soon as he walked into the banquet hall, a group of celebrities and wealthy businessmen gathered around.
"Haha, Feng Shao, are you finally willing to come to this kind of banquet?"
"Feng Shao, long time no see."
......
They were all smiling, enthusiastic and flattering.
"Feng Shao, long time no see."
"Feng Shao, which beautiful lady did you bring to the banquet this time?"
"Feng Shao, who is your fiancée this time?"
......
Those celebrities and rich businessmen asked all the more, and everyone wanted to know who I was.
I was surrounded by them and couldn't even interject a word.
"I think everyone misunderstood, I didn't bring any female companions today, this is my friend Lin Xiaoyue." Jiang Linfeng said.
"Oh? It turned out to be Miss Lin, disrespectful, disrespectful. "
"It's okay." I smiled and shook my head.
"Hahaha......" everyone laughed, "Miss Lin, your charm is really great, you actually fascinated Feng Shao, you are really amazing." "
Jiang Linfeng looked at everyone and said coldly: "Okay, today is my father's birthday, you are not allowed to mess around, if my father finds out that you are making trouble here, it is not a joke, do you know?" "
Hearing Jiang Linfeng's words, everyone immediately closed their mouths.
I know that they are afraid of Jiang Linfeng.
Jiang Linfeng's status is very high, he is the heir of the Jiang Group, he is a few rich children in Jiangnan City, and his power is also very strong.
Many of the people present cooperated with the Jiang Group, so even if someone wanted to cause trouble, they had to consider their own consequences.
"Hmph, Feng Shao, our group of people are all your friends, don't we even have the qualifications to take a look at Miss Lin?" An older man looked at Jiang Linfeng and said disdainfully.
Jiang Linfeng glanced at him, smiled coldly, and said, "You can see it if you want to, but if you dare to be rude to my friend, then don't blame me for being rude!" "
When everyone heard this, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything.
Jiang Linfeng's deterrent power is very strong.
I looked at Jiang Linfeng and sighed: "Feng Shao, I didn't expect you to be so indifferent on weekdays, but you are so powerful!" "
"Hehe......" Jiang Linfeng smiled faintly, "I'm just pretending to be indifferent in front of outsiders, at home, I am a gentle person." "
Hearing his words, I immediately laughed.
Jiang Linfeng is a very kind person, and I have already learned this.
Jiang Linfeng saw my smile and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything funny? "
I shook my head and said, "No." "
"Since you don't, don't laugh." Jiang Linfeng said, "Let's go, let's go dance." "
"Dancing?" I was surprised, "Are we going to dance like this?" "
"Yes, there are a lot of people here, and if you keep hiding and not dancing, doesn't it seem that we are too ungraceful?" Jiang Linfeng said.
"Okay, I'll dance with you." I agreed with an embarrassed smile.
Jiang Linfeng led me to the middle of the dance floor.
After I danced a few dances with him, Jiang Linfeng suddenly grabbed my wrist.
An embarrassed expression flashed across my face, but it quickly disappeared, I looked at Jiang Linfeng, smiled, and asked, "What are you holding me for?" "
"Dancing, of course." Jiang Linfeng said, "You can't be dancing, right?" But that's okay, I can teach you how to jump! "
"You teach me to dance?" Hearing his words, I looked at him with some surprise.
"yes." Jiang Linfeng nodded, "I graduated from the dance academy, and my dancing skills are very good, I can teach you." "
Hearing Jiang Linfeng's words, I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect Jiang Linfeng to learn dance, I said: "I can't dance, you teach me, wouldn't it be a shame and a big shame?" "
"How so?" Jiang Linfeng smiled and said, "You can practice slowly, believe me, as long as you learn it, it will be very easy in the future, and you will be able to deal with this kind of scene." "
"Okay then." I nodded and said.
Jiang Linfeng took me and shuttled through the crowd.
Lap after lap, I kept changing all kinds of dance steps, but I always danced a little stiffly.
When Jiang Linfeng taught me, I would always step on his foot.
Jiang Linfeng frowned, looked at me, and asked, "You really can't dance?" "
I smiled awkwardly, shook my head, and said, "I'm sorry, mine really won't." "
"It's okay." Jiang Linfeng smiled and said, "I can teach you, you relax first, and we'll start here." "
I followed Jiang Linfeng's instructions, and gradually my movements became more and more familiar.
Seeing me like this, a smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Linfeng's mouth.
It's worthy of being one of me, and I'm really smart enough to be able to comprehend it so quickly.
He took me all the way through the room, and we swirled and danced in the center of the room.
He was a gentleman, and although it was his first time dancing, he was skilful and elegant, and with his figure and appearance, he was like a magnet that attracted me and made me sink in.
Every move he made was full of charm and made me involuntarily indulge in it.
I couldn't help but look at him, and at this moment, he was looking at me intently, his eyes deep and focused, like two jewels, radiating a faint light.
His eyes are really beautiful.
My heart suddenly missed half a beat.
His eyes...... It's so beautiful.
"Miss Lin, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Linfeng looked at me in a daze, and couldn't help but ask.
I gathered my thoughts, lowered my head and smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I was just a little distracted." "
"Oh?" Jiang Linfeng raised his eyebrows, "Miss Lin, you shouldn't be in love with me, right?" "
"......" Hearing his words, I was stunned for a while, then my face turned red, I lowered my head, stopped looking at him, and said, "Feng Shao, you are really joking, where will I like you?" "
"Won't you like me?" Jiang Linfeng hooked his lips and smiled, "I think you like me very much." "
"I didn't." I hurriedly denied it, "Kaede Shao, please don't talk nonsense." "
My attitude was resolute.
"Miss Lin, what I said is true, look at you, every time you see me, your eyes become different, and you say that you don't like me." Jiang Linfeng looked at me and said.
"Where do I have?" I hurriedly denied, "Are you mistaken?" I don't like you at all. "
"Didn't you?" Jiang Linfeng looked at me, "You looked at me just now, I will never be mistaken, I think you must be interesting to me, let's try to date?" "
Hearing Jiang Linfeng's words, I was immediately confused, and I didn't know what Jiang Linfeng was talking about.
He had a smile on his face and deep, warm eyes.
Looking into his eyes, my heart jumped uncontrollably.
Jiang Linfeng......
How could I fall in love with Jiang Linfeng?
I shook my head in disbelief.
"Jiang Linfeng, no matter what kind of identity you are, I won't like you, I hope you don't force me." I said lightly.
My words made Jiang Linfeng's face stiffen.
He didn't speak.
I couldn't help but get nervous in my heart.
He looks like he's not happy, will he be angry because of my words?
Jiang Linfeng doesn't like me very much, so he won't hate me because of this, right?
I looked at him and waited for him to be angry.
But...... He wasn't angry.
Instead, he smiled and said, "Miss Lin, you are the most special girl I have ever seen, and I admire you very much." "
When I heard his words, I felt a little apprehensive.
"Jiang Linfeng, thank you for admiring me, but I don't have anything special." I said politely.
Jiang Linfeng smiled and did not speak.
I was a little worried.
I didn't want to him off, so I didn't dare say more.
Jiang Linfeng looked at me and said, "Let's continue dancing." "
"Okay." I nodded.
So, we started dancing again.
I looked at the people around me and kept changing their dance postures.
They all danced beautifully, but my dancing was always a little stiff and even nondescript, which made me feel very embarrassed.
Just then, a waiter came over with a drink.
When I saw the waiter, I hurriedly pulled Jiang Linfeng to the side.
The waiter came over, placed the glass on the table, and said, "Sir, your drink is ready, please slow down." "
"Thank you." Jiang Linfeng nodded in thanks.
"No, have fun." The waiter said with a smile.
"Hmm." Jiang Linfeng nodded slightly.
After the waiter left, Jiang Linfeng and I stood back in place.
I didn't dare to look up, I was afraid that others would see something different.
We continued to dance, Jiang Linfeng took me to spin, but my heart was up and down.
Jiang Linfeng...... I can't dance......" I looked at him and said, "You'd better find someone else." "
"I think Miss Lin's dancing is very beautiful, and I like your dancing very much." Jiang Linfeng said, his voice low and good.
"......" I was a little speechless.
"What's wrong? Won't want to dance with me? Jiang Linfeng looked at me and said.
"Of course not!" I quickly shook my head.
"In that case, let's go ahead." With that, he reached out and grabbed my waist, and I fell into his arms.
Jiang Linfeng's embrace was warm and soft, which made my heart beat suddenly.
My cheeks flushed.
I felt my heart beat faster, as if it was about to pop out of my chest.
"I ......" I looked at Jiang Linfeng, and stopped talking.
He smiled and said, "Miss Lin, your face is so red, are you shy?" "
My cheeks turned redder, I gritted my teeth and said, "How can I have it!" I'm just hot. "
"Really?" Jiang Linfeng hooked his lips, "Miss Lin, don't you tell me that you like me?" "
Me: "......"
My face turned even redder, I gritted my teeth and said, "Jiang Linfeng, don't speculate!" How could I possibly like you! Don't be delusional, I won't like you! "
"Huh...... Is it? I'll have to wait and see. Jiang Linfeng looked at me with a smile, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"......" I looked at him, gritting my teeth.
Now, I really want to rush up and beat him up!
No, I can't hit him, I can't let him see what's on my mind.
I can't let him look down on me, I have to hide my thoughts, and when I think of this, I try to keep my composure.
I kept comforting myself in my heart.
Soon, the banquet ended.
Let's go downstairs together.
Jiang Linfeng's driver had already driven the car over and waited outside the door.
"Miss Lin, get in the car, I'll take you home." Jiang Linfeng looked at me and said.
"Hmm." I nodded.
He opened the car door and I got into the car.
The car slowly drove away from Jiang's house, and Jiang Linfeng's driver glanced at me from the rearview mirror, as if he sensed that something was wrong with me, and couldn't help frowning.
I looked down at myself, was my clothes worn backwards? My hair was also messy, and I looked at myself and was a little flustered for a while.
"Miss Lin, are you feeling unwell today?" The driver asked.
"No, it's okay......" I replied in a low voice, not knowing how to explain.
Jiang Linfeng's driver looked at me and stopped talking.
Jiang Linfeng's car quickly stopped at the door of the Lin family, I pushed the car door, and was about to get out of the car, but I heard him say, "Wait." "
I turned my head to look at him, confused.
He looked at me, smiled, and said, "Miss Lin, good night." "
"Good night." I smiled and nodded.
I closed the car door and walked into Lin's house.
I walked to the door, only to see a group of reporters blocking the door of Lin's house.
I frowned.
How can there be so many people gathered at the door of our house?
I can't help but wonder.
I took out my key and opened the door.
A crowd of reporters flocked to the top.
"Miss Lin, I heard that you were attacked in the hotel yesterday, is it true?"
"Miss Lin, do you have a marriage contract with Ling Muyan, the only son of the Ling family?"
"Miss Lin, are you and Ling Muyan together?"
"Miss Lin, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Jiang Linfeng, the president of the Jiang family?"
"Miss Lin......"
......
The reporter's mouth, like a machine gun, kept shooting at me.
I felt dizzy in my head and couldn't help but hold my forehead.
I looked at them and said, "Fellow journalists, can you please give way?" I'm going to rest. "
"Miss Lin, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Jiang Linfeng?"
"Miss Lin, do you know who did yesterday's kidnapping case?"
"Miss Lin, do you want to win the favor of the second son of the Jiang family and then marry him?"
"Miss Lin......"
The reporters still didn't give up and continued to ask questions.
I took a deep breath and tried to keep my temper under control.
I said, "Guys, I'm going to rest, please don't bother me anymore!" "
"Miss Lin, can we interview you privately?"
"Yes, Miss Lin, can you tell us what the kidnapping case is all about? Why were you kidnapped? "
"Why did the kidnappers kidnap you? Is it because of Ling Muyan? "
"Do you have a grudge against Ling Muyan? That's why you were kidnapped? "
"Miss Lin......"
"Miss Lin......"
Journalists are still unrelenting.
I looked at them, finally couldn't take it anymore, and yelled, "Enough! "
The reporters heard my roar and fell silent for a moment.
"Are you all paparazzi? Why do you keep pestering me? Has no one taught you not to disturb the lives of others? I yelled.
The reporters looked at me blankly.
I took a deep breath and said, "I didn't mean to scold you, but please don't disturb my life in the future, I'm going to rest now!" Let's go, all of you! "
The reporters looked at each other and then dispersed.
I closed the door, leaned against it, and let out a long breath.
I don't know why, I suddenly became irritable and even angry.
I felt so aggrieved that the tears almost fell, and I blinked desperately, forcing myself not to cry.
I wiped the corners of my eyes, pushed open the door to my room, walked into the bedroom, closed the door, and lay down on the bed.
I closed my eyes and kept hypnotizing myself: it's okay, it's okay, I'm sure I can! I'm not going to let myself get into trouble, I can overcome it, I can.
I told myself in my heart over and over again.
And just like that, I fell asleep in a daze.
......
Early the next morning.
I opened my eyes and looked at the white ceiling, and I was still in a trance, I couldn't believe that I had fallen asleep.
I rubbed my sleepy eyes, lifted the blanket from my body, and stepped out of bed.
I stood in front of the window and pulled back the curtains.
The sun was shining on me, warm.
I took a deep breath and felt much better.
I finished washing up and was about to go out for breakfast, but I ran into Jiang Linfeng at the door.
Jiang Linfeng saw me, smiled, and said, "Morning, Miss Lin." "
"Early." I greeted him with a smile.
The two of them walked together to the dining room.
"Miss Lin, thank you really yesterday." Jiang Linfeng looked at me with a warm appearance, which made people unable to see through his heart.
I smiled, shook my head, and said, "You're welcome. "
The two of them didn't say a word all the way to the dining room.
The table was filled with a hearty breakfast, and the smell was wafting to the nose.
My stomach grumbled with hunger, so I picked up my spoon and ate my breakfast.
"Miss Lin, how are you recovering from your injuries?" Jiang Linfeng asked me suddenly, with a hint of worry in his tone.
I swallowed the food in my mouth and said lightly, "It's okay." "
"Oh." He answered, and didn't ask anything more.
"Mr. Jiang, you don't have to come here every day to accompany me, I'm just an ordinary person, it's not worth your trouble." I looked up at him and smiled.
I don't like Jiang Linfeng, and I don't want Jiang Linfeng to have much to do with me, so as not to get into trouble.
I don't want my life to make waves because of him anymore, I don't want to get myself into trouble.
Jiang Linfeng frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his face.
I hurriedly changed the subject: "Mr. Jiang, what day of the week is today?" "
"Weekend." He replied.
Weekend?
This weekend, the eldest young master of the Jiang family is going to return to China, so he comes here every day.
"Oh, do you have any plans for the weekend?" I asked.
Jiang Linfeng pondered for a moment and said, "On Saturday, I'm going to a dance party. "
"Prom?" I opened my mouth wide in surprise.
"Well, tonight is a charity ball, it's lively." Jiang Linfeng said.
Ball?
The banquet of the eldest young master of the Jiang family?
It's a gathering of the world's top celebrities!
It is said that those celebrities and ladies are all going for the eldest young master.
Which of those celebrities is not as beautiful as a flower and has a prominent family background?
I couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Miss Lin, if you are willing to participate, I invite you." Jiang Linfeng looked at me and said with a smile.
I quickly shook my head: "No." "
Although I was curious about what the eldest young master of the Jiang family looked like, I also wanted to go and see it.
But I can't go!
That's the occasion for everyone to go, I'm just a civilian, what's the fun?
What's more, the most important thing for me now is to find a way to escape the tracking of those reporters and fans.
"Miss Lin, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Linfeng looked at me and asked suspiciously.
I quickly explained, "No, nothing! I'm just afraid I'm going to disgrace you! I'm just an ordinary girl, and if I go, I'll only embarrass you! "
Miss Lin laughed. Jiang Linfeng smiled slightly.
"Miss Lin, don't worry, I will definitely take you there tonight!"
His voice was gentle, like a spring breeze, and I had the illusion that I was his bride.
I lowered my head, ate something, and left the Jiang family's mansion.
Along the way, I was nervous.
If caught by a reporter, how can I explain the relationship between me and Jiang Linfeng?
However, it all seemed predestined, and as soon as I got out of the car, reporters swarmed around me.
I looked at these people in front of me and felt a little nervous.
Seeing this, Jiang Linfeng frowned, walked to my side, and stretched out his hand to hug me.
The reporters immediately filmed frantically, and the spotlights kept flashing.
"President Jiang, are you and Miss Lin's wedding scheduled for the ninth day of March?"
"President Jiang, when did you and Miss Lin meet?"
"President Jiang, how is your relationship with Miss Lin?"
......
A group of journalists has endless questions.
"Miss Lin, has your marriage with Jiang Linfeng already been discussed?"
"President Jiang, is Miss Lin marrying you because of your power or for other reasons?"
"Do you have more love for Miss Lin, or do you have more interests?"
"Miss Lin, did you marry Jiang Linfeng in order to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix?"
......
"Don't scribble!" Jiang Linfeng suddenly shouted, "These are all things made up by boring gossip and newspapers, don't talk nonsense!" "
When the reporters saw that Jiang Linfeng was angry, they suddenly became quiet.
Their eyes were all focused on me, their eyes inquiring and scrutinizing.
I couldn't help but panic, I kept my head down, not daring to look directly at them.
"Miss Lin......"
"President Jiang......"
"Miss Lin......"
"Miss Lin......"
Jiang Linfeng's father saw that the reporters were noisy, so he waved his hand, and the bodyguards immediately drove away the group of reporters.
When the reporters all retreated, Jiang Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Fine sweat oozed from his forehead, and he reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.
He smiled apologetically at me and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Lin, I didn't know they would scare you like this, right?" "
I smiled, shook my head, and said, "No." "
"By the way, Miss Lin, are you going alone or with me for this dance?" Jiang Linfeng looked at me with a bright smile, with a gentle smile, like a big brother next door.
"I'll go alone." I said.
"I'm really worried about you going alone, why don't you take me with you?" Jiang Linfeng continued, with a hint of pleading in his tone.
Take him with you?
I was a little surprised.
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient? Jiang Linfeng asked.
"Uh......" I was stunned, not knowing how to refuse him.
"You don't want to?" His face changed.
I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "That's not what I meant. "
"That's not what you mean, so you mean to agree with me to go?" Jiang Linfeng looked at me with a smile, and smiled very warmly, like the sunshine on a spring day.
"No......" I lowered my head, not knowing how to answer him.
I was going to find an excuse to refuse, but remembering that the reporters were staring at me all the time, I nodded yes: "Yes." "
After hearing my answer, Jiang Linfeng's face immediately showed an excited expression, and he happily took my hand and said, "Great! Miss Lin, I really didn't expect me to have the chance to dance with you! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he took my hand and walked towards the dance floor.
He pulled me along and walked towards the dance floor.
As soon as the reporters saw me, they immediately held up their cameras and took pictures.
"Click", "click", "click......
The spotlight flashed non-stop, constantly photographing me and Jiang Linfeng.
It's a terrible feeling.
"Miss Lin, could you please do an interview?" A reporter asked.
"Miss Lin, may I ask if you and President Jiang have already been dating?" Another reporter asked.
"Miss Lin......"
"Miss Lin......"
All kinds of voices kept ringing out.
My eardrums were buzzing, and for a moment, my head was about to burst.
"Miss Lin, can you respond to us?"
"Miss Lin, would you like to be interviewed by us?"
My head ached, I raised my head to look at Jiang Linfeng, only to see that he was also helpless.
"Miss Lin, we know that you and President Jiang are childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses. However, your marriage is not what you expected. A reporter said.
I jerked my head up and stared at him with wide eyes.
His words made me very angry.
What does it mean to be "not what I was expecting?" "
"What do you mean by that?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you want to marry into a wealthy family? What is the relationship between you and President Jiang? "
"I don't understand what you mean." I suppressed the anger in my heart and said coldly.
"Isn't it? You and President Jiang are childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses, but what is your purpose? Do you have any bad intentions to get close to President Jiang? What kind of agreement does you have with him? "
"Why do you doubt me like that?" I retorted angrily.
"That's because you didn't have a relationship at all!"
"We didn't socialize, and that's because ...... Because ......," I gritted my teeth, not knowing how to answer him.
"Why? You mean! He was aggressive, "Are you lying?" "
"No, you misunderstood me." I explained eagerly.
"None? Hehe. He sneered, "Miss Lin, if it weren't for the fact that you and President Jiang had some improper relationship, how could you let President Jiang take you to this ball?" If you have nothing to do with each other, how can President Jiang bring you there? "
I bit my lip, not knowing how to argue with it.
"Alright, don't talk about it." Jiang Linfeng interrupted us and said to the reporters, "We still have very important things to deal with, please get out of the way first." "
As soon as his words came out, all the reporters dispersed, leaving room for me and Jiang Linfeng.
Jiang Linfeng took my hand and walked slowly onto the dance floor.
I followed him and didn't say a word.
I walked with him to the front of the dance floor, surrounded by reporters.
One by one, they all pointed their cameras at me and Jiang Linfeng.
My cheeks flushed unconsciously, a little nervous, a little scared.
"Miss Lin, you are so beautiful!" Jiang Linfeng looked at me and said softly.
His eyes were as clear as the ocean.
As soon as he finished speaking, my cheeks became even hotter, as if they had been burned by fire.
Jiang Linfeng's words made my heart flutter wildly.
I don't know how to describe how I feel at the moment, but I always feel like my heart is about to pop out of my throat.
At that moment, my wrist was suddenly grabbed.
"Miss Lin, you are very beautiful in this dress tonight, which is very in line with your temperament." Jiang Linfeng said.
"Thanks for the compliment." I bowed my head and whispered in reply.
Jiang Linfeng and I danced on the dance floor, and then, Jiang Linfeng took me off the dance floor.
We returned to the ballroom.
Jiang Linfeng and I sat down together, and he said to the waiter next to him, "Have a glass of champagne." "
"Okay." The waiter answered, turned and left.
"President Jiang, what is the relationship between the two of you?"
"Yes, we can see that the two of you have a good relationship."
"yes, we thought you two were a couple."
"I think the age gap between the two of you is quite big, President Jiang is 5 years younger than you, and you are the vice chairman of the Jiang family, the identities of the two of you seem to be ......."
Before the male reporter could finish his words, he was interrupted by a man: "Enough." "
