Chapter 249: The Prodigal Son Turns Back
There was a few seconds of silence, no one spoke.
Jiang Jianing was a little confused in pain, moved the phone down, and looked at the screen.
This time, she saw clearly that the phone she received was Xue Rin'an.
Since coming out of Long Island that day, the two have not been in contact for a few days.
The silent night, in the dark environment, amplified people's senses, and it seemed that Xue Rin'an's breathing could be heard.
Xue Rin'an's voice was a little hoarse, and it was slightly drunk with alcohol.
"Jiang Jianing, I'm alone on Long Island."
Jiang Jianing choked in his throat.
"Hmm." She replied softly, "It's late."
"Where?"
"Night."
Jiang Jianing's brain is still chaotic now, and he is purely mechanically answering Xue Rin'an's questions, one by one.
"I'll pick you up."
"No need."
Jiang Jianing curled up, the hot water bottle was already warm, and she pressed against her legs, "It's late, you can sleep."
"Okay."
Jiang Jianing didn't have the strength to pick up the phone, so he threw it directly on the pillow.
Over there, Xue Rinan didn't hang up the phone.
It wasn't until Jiang Jianing's mobile phone was low that it finally turned off automatically, and in the earpiece, the woman's faint whispering was finally interrupted.
Xiaoyudian likes Aunt Lu very much, and she also likes the back garden at night.
The night environment is not suitable for Xiaoyudi, so Ah Lu temporarily arranged Jiang Jianing and Xiaoyudi in the garden room in the backyard of the night.
Jiang Jianing didn't come back to life until three days later, and he was ready to pack up his things and take Xiaoyudi back to Qingyu.
Green: "Are you really going to leave?"
"It's just to take a break for a while."
"Where's Xue Rin'an?"
Jiang Jianing cleaned up his hands and paused, "What's wrong with him?"
Ah Lu took out his phone and flipped out a photo, "Here."
This is a schedule of Xue Rin'an.
The schedule was so full that there was less than six hours of rest each night.
"He's busy." Jiang Jianing glanced at it and came to a conclusion.
Ah Lu put away his phone, "Actually, I didn't even understand why Xue Rin'an suddenly approved your resignation application."
"Probably preparing for the prodigal son's return." Jiang Jianing said.
It's just that she's not that heroine.
Ah Lu was startled, "You said Xue Rin'an plans to marry Xu Shiying?"
"Perhaps." Jiang Jianing lowered his head and continued to pack his things, and after cleaning up, he stood up, "I'll go out to breathe."
Ah Lu looked at Jiang Jianing's back, her lips moved to stop her, but she still didn't speak.
She can be seen by an outsider.
Jiang Jianing was tempted by Xue Rin'an.
In spite of oneself.
I can't help myself.
Jiang Jianing came out because his heart was suddenly very depressed, stuffy with a ball of fire, and it was a little hot.
It was from the Xu family because of the quarrel with her mother, and the afterglow brought by the precipitation, which made her irritable.
The photo that Ah Lu showed her just now, Wu Kai also sent her a copy.
Then I wrote a big headline on the work schedule of the photo I took: "Spinning top. 】
But she saw the photo of him and Xu Shiying meeting again.
It seems that no matter how busy he is, he will still find time to meet Xu Shiying.
Jiang Jianing couldn't tell what his mood was at this time, and it was a little complicated.
She blamed this sad and tangled heart because of the failure of her mission to approach Xue Rin'an from the beginning.
The spring is very good these days.
In early spring, you can see the tender green buds on the branches of the willow trees.
She passed through the corridor and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
The girl was wearing a lotus pink sweatshirt jacket and white trousers, and was taking a photo with her mobile phone.
It's Shu Yanyan.
I haven't seen Shu Yanyan for a long time, but I often chat on WeChat, and I originally said that I would make an appointment for dinner in the New Year, because Shu Yanyan said that my brother came back from abroad to have a dinner, so I didn't make an appointment.
"Yeon......
Jiang Jianing wanted to call her, but when she saw the person standing next to Shu Yanyan, she stopped halfway through her words.
Be...... He Lian.
He Lian was wearing a haze blue sweatshirt and light gray trousers today, standing in the glass window of the corridor, the thin white sunlight shining down, making his pale skin as if it had not seen light for many years more transparent.
He Lian turned his head sideways and met Jiang Jianing's eyes.
Jiang Jianing stopped.
Her eyes lowered slightly, and fell on He Lian's hands that naturally fell on both sides.
She suddenly remembered that Shu Yanyan, who had flipped through, had a circle of friends, and the circle of friends was a photo of a family reunion eating barbecue with a picture of Jiugongge, she flashed by at that time, and didn't click on the photo of Jiugongge to look carefully.
Even if she looked closely, she would see that among them was a pale hand with a goblet that she could recognize at a glance.
He Lian patted Shu Yanyan's shoulder, "Over there."
Shu Yanyan followed the direction of He Lian's finger and saw Jiang Jianing standing on the other side of the corridor.
Jiang Jianing was bathed in golden sunlight all over his body, and his skin seemed to be dyed with a layer of gold powder.
Shu Yanyan ran over happily, "Sister Ning! You're here, aren't you?"
Jiang Jianing retracted his gaze, "Hmm."
Shu Yanyan put away her mobile phone and introduced He Lian to Jiang Jianing: "That's what I mentioned to you, my brother, he's amazing, he's always been in the country before, and he's a doctor."
Jiang Jianing didn't say hello to He Lian, nor did he speak.
He Lian: "I know Miss Jiang."
Shu Yanyan blinked, "Oh! I remember! Sister Ning's hometown is from Jiang County, brother, you saw her there at that time."
He Lian was not picked up by the He family until junior high school.
He Lian smiled, "You really know how to pull a relationship with me."
Shu Yanyan: "I guess."
She looked at Jiang Jianing's expression and knew that she was questioning the surnames of the two, "I changed my name later, following my mother's surname," Shu Yanyan said, "Otherwise, every time I mention He Yanyan in school, I think of my father and my brother instead of me."
Just as she was saying this, Shu Yanyan's mobile phone rang suddenly.
Jiang Jianing can see the avatar of the phone number jumping on the mobile phone screen from this angle, it is Du Ling.
Shu Yanyan shook towards He Lian, "Ah Ling called me, I'll answer the phone." She squeezed her eyes at Jiang Jianing again and ran out.
On the glass corridor, only Jiang Jianing and He Lian remained.
Jiang Jianing: "You didn't tell her Du Ling's identity?"
Father and Mother He didn't know about Du Ling's existence, but He Lian knew.
He Lian turned his head to look at her.
"Didn't you say it?"
Jiang Jianing: "I ......"
Originally, it was because I was not familiar with Shu Yanyan, and it was far from the point of being a shallow and deep conversation.
Until now, she felt that she had missed the best time, but she couldn't open her mouth.
