Chapter 17: A Date for a Foursome
The dinner for the four of them was set at a French restaurant, Tang Li was pushed and dragged by Jiang Miao into Jiang Yujin's car, and she herself sat in the co-pilot with Jiao Hao's strange color non-stop.
There was no Jiang Miao in the huge carriage, and there was some silence, which made Tang Li a little uncomfortable, she glanced at Jiang Yujin sideways, and finally understood what Jiang Yujin meant when he was eating at noon.
Jiao Hao's car was originally driving in front, but when he arrived at the intersection, he turned another place for some reason, Jiang Yujin didn't follow, and drove towards the French restaurant according to the original plan.
"Aren't we with them?" Tang Li asked a little strangely.
"Leave them alone."
"Oh." Tang Li obediently lies on her back.
When the car of the two drove to the door of the restaurant, a waiter came forward to open the door for the two, Jiang Yujin hung his coat in one hand, handed the car key to the waiter with the other, and said lightly: "It's hard." ”
"Sir, do you have a reservation?" The waitress waited for them to enter the door and asked.
"Jiao Hao ordered."
The waitress flipped over the tablet in her hand and quickly replied, "The third floor is a private room with three two or four." He then reached out and pressed the elevator button for them.
Jiang Yu said thank you, and the waitress nodded and left.
Tang Li couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of being one of the best high-end restaurants in Jiangcheng, and the service is really good." ”
"I thought Miss Tang often came to this kind of place." Jiang Yujin glanced at her lightly.
"Why, when I was young, I rarely went out, and I only went out when I encountered some necessary gatherings, banquets and the like." Tang Li replied.
At that time, she was already living in the Ji family, and there were many noble girls who wanted to befriend her, but Tang Li could tell the good from the bad, and she understood how many of those who greeted her with a smile looked down on her behind her back.
Therefore, she doesn't like to go out very much, and the only friends she has made over the years are Zheng Yuqin and Wang Xi who she met in college.
"Then Miss Tang is quite a big name." Jiang Yu joked.
When the elevator door opened, Tang Li just wanted to open her legs and go in, but Jiang Yujin grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
At this time, a couple slowly walked out of the elevator, and after they came out, Jiang Yujin let go of his hand, and his voice sounded in Tang Li's ears: "Miss Tang really doesn't like to look up at the road, when Jiang Cheng's first meeting hit me on the stairs, I thought it was deliberately bowing my head and pretending not to know and escape." ”
The first time? Was it at the bar? Tang Li followed him into the elevator, still a little confused.
Until the elevator door opened again, Tang Li walked out before Jiang Yujin, and opposite them, the elevator directly through the side door also made a sound of opening the door, and then there was a faint voice with surprise: "Tang Li? ”
Tang Li and Jiang Yujin looked up together, and a pair of lovers who were affectionately holding their arms walked towards them, and the moment they saw them clearly, Tang Li couldn't help frowning slightly.
Chen Wan and the man next to her stopped in front of them, her eyebrows and eyes raised meekly when she smiled, but she still gave people a feeling that she didn't look comfortable: "I seemed to see you when I was at the door, and I thought I was wrong." ”
Tang Li pursed his lips: "That's right. ”
Chen Wan nodded, glanced at Jiang Yujin, the noble temperament exuded by the man couldn't help but make her look at it for a moment, and the words she said in the next second were also a little polite: "Tang Li, we haven't seen each other for a long time, you see I don't know the people around you now." ”
Saying this as if they knew each other well, Tang Li was silent, tired of this kind of communication.
The man beside her, Ji Binyang, the son of the Ji family's son, smiled gently and said, "Tang Li, did you come with you today?" Speaking of which, I haven't seen you in a long time. ”
Jiang Yu pursed his eyebrows invisibly, and he heard Tang Li reply: "Second brother, I don't know, I haven't seen my brother for many days." ”
Ji Binyang's eyes showed surprise: "Really? You've really grown up, and I remember you used to like to cling to him. ”
"It's not just that you like to stick, you boys really can't guess what girls think, Tang Li likes it, these days the banquet suddenly announced the divorce, I thought you were ......"
Halfway through the words, Chen Wan suddenly closed her mouth, she looked like she had said the wrong thing, and looked at Jiang Yujin beside Tang Li, Tang Li was half unaccustomed to her pretentious appearance, and almost rolled her eyes.
"Tang Li, let's not bother you for now, let's go first." Ji Binyang smiled at the two of them, and walked towards the private room in the corridor with his female companion beside him.
Tang Li looked over and saw their intimate appearance, she couldn't help frowning, she knew in her heart that no one wanted her and Ji Yanci to be together more than Ji Binyang, and there was obviously a trace of disappointment in his eyes, he was using Chen Wan's mouth to probe his own tone.
Ji Binyang is the son of Ji Cheng's elder brother, and above him, there is another brother, but that unintentional businessman has been mixed into the political world very early, and the two biggest competitors of the Ji family today are Ji Yanci and Ji Binyang.
However, it is obvious that Ji Yanci is better, whether it is ability or wind evaluation, so the Ji family has paid more attention to him, whether it is the company's authority or the marriage with the He family.
Tang Li thought that if she wanted to be with Ji Yanci, Ji Binyang would definitely be the first person to approve with both hands, after all, she had no power and no power, she was just an adopted daughter, and she couldn't help Ji Yanci with anything, not as beneficial as He Qixuan.
However, how did Ji Binyang and Chen Wan get together?
After the two of them sat in the private room for a while, Jiang Miao and Jiao Hao walked in, Jiang Miao carried two bags of fresh fruit tea in her hands, put one bag on the table in front of Tang Li, and then sat down in the empty seat with great interest.
Tang Li recognized that this was a limited edition fruit tea from a big brand in Jiangcheng, and this fruit tea shop that opened a store in Jiangcheng only sold 100 cups a month, with a delicious and unique taste, and people often rushed to line up at the door.
They visited when they were doing food columns.
Jiang Yu glanced at the fruit tea on Tang Li's table beside him, looked at Jiao Hao and said mockingly: "It's really amazing, take her around that far to buy this, in terms of its limited edition style, at this point in time, it must have been bought by using interpersonal relationships." ”
Jiao Hao had a cold face and didn't speak.
On the contrary, Jiang Miao opened his mouth and said: "Yes, Brother Jiaohao is better than you, not as stingy as you." ”
"It's really amazing, then you call her uncle, and call me brother?" Jiang Yujin raised his eyebrows and said.
As soon as she said this, Jiang Miao closed her mouth.
Jiang Miao needed to go to school for evening self-study in the evening, so the meal was eaten a little quickly, and before seven o'clock it was dark, and several people got into the car they came to go back.
Tang Li was thinking about Ji Binyang's affairs in his head, and he had to go home to prepare the things he would use at work tomorrow, and he ate the whole meal absent-mindedly.
"Tang Li, it's exciting, the Ji family is getting engaged, I started the news as soon as I got the news last night, and this time it must be the first time for our magazine to report it." A female colleague who usually has a good relationship with Tang Li looked at the freshly printed paper with interest.
Tang Li didn't sleep well last night, some of her brains were not online, and she subconsciously said, "Didn't you cancel your engagement?" ”
"Oh, it's not Ji Yanci, this time it's Ji Binyang, his second brother, and the eldest lady of the Chen Group are engaged, the wedding date is next week, and this time it was directly announced that the wedding will be held, I heard that the engagement is not needed, Ji Binyang said in the video that he can't wait to marry Miss Chen home, it's really sweet."
Tang Li looked up at her in surprise, and the female colleague continued to say infatually: "This Ji Binyang looks so gentle and elegant, compared to Ji Yanci's kind of marriage that looks like a reluctant marriage, I still prefer this pair, it looks very affectionate." ”
There is a photo posted on the bottom side of the sample newspaper, which is the photo of Ji Binyang after having dinner together last night and Chen Wan smiling at the camera, and Ji Binyang's words were also said at that time.
Tang Li looked at the photo and felt very complicated.
It was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Jian Liu called Tang Li, and her tone was a little indifferent: "Tang Li, your second brother will hold a wedding next Monday, and I will send you the venue later, you have to come, do you know?" ”
Tang Li said "um", but in his heart he was marveling at how the time of the wedding could be so close, this was obviously in a hurry to get married.
Jian Liu on the phone didn't seem very happy: "This wedding Ji family and the Chen family mean that it will be held privately, and only close friends from the two families will be invited, and you can't bring friends over privately, understand?" ”
"Understood."
After getting her reply, he hung up the phone, and Tang Li only heard a sound of "doodoooo..."
Tang Li, who was holding the phone, actually wanted to make a call to Ji Yanci, but she didn't know what position to take to care about his situation, so she could only cover the phone on the table with some irritability.
Why did Ji Yanci announce his divorce, how would the He family and the Ji family punish his behavior, what is his current situation, and how Ji Binyang, who was helped by the Chen family, would deal with him, Tang Li was very troubled.
She is not a ruthless person, and she can't turn a blind eye to the people who grew up with her.
"Enter."
After Tang Li got the reply, he pushed open the door and walked in, Ni Lan said with a smile: "Do you know what I am looking for you?" ”
Tang Li shook his head.
"This column handed over to you to do, this month's results have come out, very good, is the first, so I want to inform you in advance, your probationary period has passed, and you are welcome to officially join South Road." Ni Lan stretched out his hand to her.
Tang Li's hand was a little cold, and he shook her shallowly.
"We have a cooperation with the charity in Cloud City, which can be regarded as a public welfare project, that is, to promote the rural public welfare there, you may need to stay there for a few days, I don't know if you want to go?"
