Chapter 119: That's it
The girl said to her companion behind her, walked directly into the box, opened her mouth to say something, and noticed Shen Jianian sitting next to Fu Jichen, and was suddenly stunned.
Because of the angle, she didn't see anyone else in the box outside the door, so she was inevitably a little embarrassed at the moment, and her expression was unnatural: "Brother Ji Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you." β
As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily swept towards Shen Jianian.
Shen Jiannian mainly came to the hospital to visit patients today, did not wear makeup before going out, wore a thick cotton shirt, put on a quilted knitted vest, and paired it with jeans. She took off her coat and put it on a chair.
Simple dress, plain face, long hair and shawl, full of student spirit.
Shen Jianian felt that the other party's gaze stayed on her face for a long time, and she was a little uncomfortable, so she raised her eyes and looked straight over.
The girl was about her age, dressed like a delicate doll in the window, with black wavy hair tied up in a high ponytail, a small black bow hairpin, a stylish suit, a pair of boots covering her calves, and a mini bag in her hand.
The two looked at each other, and the girl took the lead in looking away, looked at Fu Jichen, and asked casually: "Brother Jichen, are you inviting customers to dinner here?" β
She knew that the girl next to Fu Jichen was not a customer, and there was no customer who was dressed up like her, only when she was a female college student with a sugar daddy, she had some disdain in her heart, so she deliberately asked that.
Brother Ji Chen is her sister's fiancΓ©, and since she bumped into her, she has to do something to make this shameless girl retreat.
Fu Jichen's face was cold: "It's not a customer." Do you have anything else? β
Xu Jingyi took two steps closer with a small bag and talked to him enthusiastically: "Do you know that my sister is about to return to China?" Her stuff has been sent back from abroad. Are you going to pick up the airport then? I can send you the flight information. β
Fu Jichen said lightly: "Are you finished?" β
Xu Jingyi's face froze, why did he have this attitude?
Although there was no formal engagement ceremony, they were not a real fiancΓ©, but the two families had verbal discussions to put Fu Jichen and her sister Xu Youxuan together.
He wouldn't have understood her.
Seeing that Fu Jichen's face was not worried, Xu Jingyi was a little stunned, and didn't dare to say more, so she smiled curtly: "My friend is waiting for me, I won't disturb your meal, bye." β
Xu Jingyi playfully shook her little hand, turned around and slipped out.
A few good sisters waiting in the corridor immediately gathered around and asked curiously, "Who is that man?" So handsome! At a glance from afar, the soul was hooked. Listening to you call him brother, how did we not know that you have such a good-looking brother. β
Xu Jingyi was choked with a breath in her chest, and her face was very bad: "He is my brother, my sister's fiancΓ©, I have met before, I call him brother according to the etiquette, and I have to change my name to brother-in-law in the future." β
"Isn't your sister studying abroad?"
"I've graduated with a Ph.D., and I'm going to return to China soon." Xu Jingyi couldn't say anything, "When I went in, I saw him with a young girl, and he said that he was not a customer, I thought he was raising a female college student." It's so hateful, where to put my sister. β
The friend was stunned, and then showed a very understanding look, and said, "Worry about your sister?" Successful people like them have a lot of fun before marriage, some will return to their families after marriage, and some may not be restrained after marriage. The red flag does not fall at home, and the colorful flags flutter outside. β
Xu Jingyi wrinkled her eyebrows: "I thought Brother Ji Chen was not that kind of person." β
"Hey, it is said that women's hearts are needles, but in fact, men's hearts are the deepest and most terrifying." Her friend has a lot of experience in this regard, "Some men can't see anything at all on the surface, and they are holding back the bad in their bones. β

On holidays, there is a lot of traffic, and the speed of serving food is a little slow.
The waiter brought in a bottle of sparkling wine first.
The bottle cap was opened, and Shen Jianian didn't let the waiter help, so he poured a glass by himself. Bubbles jump in the liquid, scramble to gush out, and hang on the walls of the crystal clear cup.
Shen Jianian took a sip of the cup, the cool taste instantly made people sober up, but the alcohol contained in it would rise up with a dizzying magic after entering the stomach.
Fu Jichen picked up the wine bottle and brought it to his eyes to see the alcohol content, the label on the bottle said six degrees, and Shen Jianian took two mouthfuls, and his fair cheeks were dyed red.
He took the bottle away and placed it on the other end of the table: "Drink less." β
Shen Jianian was very knowledgeable, and he didn't ask who the girl was, nor who the sister in the girl's mouth was, although he had some guesses in his heart, he didn't bother to verify it.
Perhaps, it's not lazy, it's not dare.
Fu Jichen looked at her and was about to say something, when the waiter came over to serve the food, first the soup followed by the main dish, and finally the salad, and an extra dessert.
Shen Jianian thanked him softly, picked up the spoon and drank the creamy mushroom soup, and heard the man next to him say slowly: "That is the second lady of the Xu family just now, and the two families have eaten together before and met two or three times." β
Shen Jiannian heard that he was explaining the girl's identity, and the movement of drinking soup slowed down, waiting for the rest of the text.
Fu Jichen didn't want to hide it, but it was really not worth taking it out, so he said succinctly: "Her sister is the old man's preferred candidate for the future granddaughter-in-law." β
Shen Jianian's hand holding the spoon clenched suddenly, like a fish in his throat.
"It's just a mouthful, and I can't count it." Fu Jichen was afraid that she would think too much, so he expressed his attitude, "The old man's thoughts are not the same as my thoughts. β
Shen Jiannian didn't get much comfort, she thought of the few stories she heard from him last night about Zhou Zhizhen and his girlfriend.
When I first heard it, I thought it was someone else's story, and I savored it, but it was just a reflection of myself.
She was not so ignorant, she was more serious with him in this kind of thing, and she curled her lips slightly and said, "I know." β
After finishing speaking, Shen Jianian lowered his head, and his eyes were cold.
If it was really just a mouthful, the second lady of the Xu family would not mention her sister's imminent return to China, and the real situation should be that the two families acquiesced in this marriage.
Shen Jianian picked up his emotions, picked up a piece of black truffle pancake and took a big bite, the baked crunchy pancake was pasted with a layer of fragrant cheese black truffle sauce on top, and a whole soft-boiled egg.
After eating and drinking, Shen Jiannian's mind was between lucid and confused, and he still remembered what he wanted to tell Fu Jichen.
"Fu Jichen, I have something to tell you."
Fu Jichen was slightly stunned, recalling that last night, when they were in the courtyard of the old mansion, she also said to him so seriously: Fu Jichen, I have something to ask you.
"You say, I'll listen." Fu Jichen touched the cigarette case, thinking that smoking is prohibited indoors, he can only give up.
Shen Jianian didn't foreshadow too much, and told him bluntly: "Our transaction, stop." β
The cigarette case in Fu Jichen's hand fell onto the table, and there was a soft sound, as if his heart had fallen from a height. He clearly understood what she meant, but pretended not to understand: "What do you mean?" β
Shen Jianian's cheeks were red, because she had drunk wine, but her eyes were very firm: "It means that I don't want to take revenge." The Pei family has collapsed, and the people of the Pei family have also paid a heavy price, so I stopped thinking about it. Do you understand that? β
Fu Jichen gritted his teeth, and his face condensed into ice inch by inch: "Do you know what you're talking about?" β
Shen Jiannian stared at him, his eyes were deep, and he said word by word: "I'm not drunk, I'm very sober now, and every word I say to you is well thought out." β
Her heart was suddenly occupied by a sad emotion, and her tone paused for a few seconds, but she still tried to express what she wanted to say as clearly as possible: "I'm sorry to let your previous efforts be in vain." But, I've been with you for so long, can the two cancel out? (End of chapter)
