Chapter 84: Two Polar Opposites
After the meal, Mrs. Jing called her daughter aside and reprimanded her.
"Tell me about you, why are you mentioning this?"
Jing Yanli also looked annoyed, and explained: "I thought that Ah Xiao came back today and knew about it, and I didn't think about it that much at the time. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Jing sighed heavily, she actually knew that the reason why she didn't say it was because of luck.
She thought that if they came over tomorrow and Jing Xiao happened to be at home, she might be able to take this opportunity to help ease their father-son relationship.
But now it's good, Jing Yanli said this at the dinner table, Jing Xiao will definitely not stay at home tomorrow, even if she wants to stay, she can't open this mouth.
Seeing her mother's disappointed look, she frowned and asked, "Mom, haven't you told Ah Xiao about this matter?" ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Jing took a deep breath and shook her head, "That's it, I'm too lazy to talk about this." ”
With that, she walked back to the living room.
Jing Yanli looked at her mother's back as she drifted away, and her expression gradually became complicated.
Today's living room is very lively.
Zhou Chengyan's mouth has never stopped, although it is a little noisy, but fortunately, every topic mentioned can make everyone happy.
Tang Duyi sat beside Jing Xiao, occasionally echoing a few words, most of the time listening to them.
Ever since she wanted to know about Jing Xiao, she was still quite interested in his affairs.
So, listening to some interesting stories about him from others is also a way for her to get to know this guy.
When Zhou Chengxian talked about the two of them being chased by dogs and falling into the stinky ditch when she was a child, she laughed directly as if she really saw the picture.
Jing Xiao lowered her eyes and glanced at her, seeing that her eyes were about to narrow when she smiled, and hooked her thin lips, "It turns out that you are so happy to listen to my troubles when I was a child?" ”
The meaning of his words, Tang Duyi couldn't be clearer.
But she didn't show cowardice because of this, but raised her eyebrows at him defiantly, and mocked in a low voice: "You don't still smell of stinky ditches on your body now, do you?" ”
Jing Xiao smiled, raised his hand to cover her waist, and his warm eyes were full of teasing, "Is there any, don't you know?" Why don't you smell it again tonight? ”
Tang Duyi's heart trembled at his words, and she quickly looked away, pretending not to hear, and continued to listen to the story.
Jingjia at night, the lights are bright, the moonlight outside the window is bright, and the house is full of laughter and laughter.
They just sat on the couch and chatted about it.
Somehow, they suddenly talked about the Jing family's days in Danzhou.
"It's still good at that time, and you can still go up the mountain to make dates." Zhou Chengyan sighed with emotion, and there was a hint of melancholy in his deep voice.
That was the memory of his enlightenment, although it was a little vague, but he would never forget that happy feeling from the heart.
Old Man Jing couldn't help but recall the past, nodded and praised: "Well, it was really comfortable at that time. ”
"I think our lives are good now." Mrs. Jing interjected with a smile, and then added, "After all, now, Ah Xiao is married to Gardenia." ”
After speaking, she didn't forget to glance at Jing Xiao, as if asking him if he was like this, after all, at the beginning, this guy resisted terribly, but now it seems that his face is about to be swollen.
Jing Xiao looked at her sideways, and after understanding what she meant, he decisively stretched out his arm and hugged Tang Duyi's shoulder, which was regarded as a response.
Just when they were chatting energetically, Zhou Chengxi suddenly walked to the side hall to make a call.
The previous compensation had already had a result, so he called Yu Yuxi and asked her to see if there were any problems.
But as soon as the phone called, before he could get down to business, he heard a ghost crying wolf howling on the other end of the phone.
"Can you be quieter, I'm going to be deaf." He couldn't help but complain, took the phone away from his ear, and only spoke again a few seconds later, asking, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
Yu Yuxi on the other end of the phone was falling into darkness at the moment, only the mobile phone in her hand still emitted a faint light.
"I ...... There is a power outage in my house. She replied with a shudder.
Zhou Chengyan frowned, suddenly felt a little speechless, and couldn't help but mock: "Your Miss Yu is so rich, can't you pay the electricity bill?" ”
"It's not about the electricity bill, it's about the power outage, do you know the power outage?" She gritted her teeth and roared, as if she was on the verge of exploding.
Zhou Chengfang was stunned for a moment, and then regained his composure, and said indifferently, "Oh, then you are looking for a property." ”
After speaking, he was about to hang up the phone, but the next moment, he remembered that he hadn't said anything serious, so he reminded, "You can take a look at the compensation, if it's okay, just settle the claim." ”
"Got it, got it." Yu Yuxi replied impatiently, and then prepared to get out of bed.
But because it was too dark in the room, she didn't see anything on the ground when she got out of bed, so she stepped on it directly, and then fell to the ground.
Her feet, which had not yet healed, were injured again at this moment, and the pain made her heart pierce, followed by a wail.
Zhou Chengxi, who was on the other side of the phone, complained after hearing her movements: "Miss Yu, don't you know that yelling at night is easy to scare people to death?" ”
Yu Yuxi exhaled painfully, picked up the mobile phone that had fallen aside, and scolded angrily, "It's not good to meet you, broom star." ”
After speaking, he hung up the phone with a snap.
Zhou Chengyan listened to the beep on the phone, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
This eldest lady's stinky temper is really getting worse day by day, and she dares to scold him for being a broom star.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but snort coldly, put away his phone, and walked back into the living room, not bothering to pay attention to it.
After that, he talked and laughed with everyone for a while.
Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, everyone dispersed and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.
When it was over, Mrs. Jing called Jing Xiao away, saying that she had a few words to say to him, so Tang Duyi went back to the room first.
But when passing by the corridor, she saw Zhou Chengyan following, as if she had something to say.
"Something?" She asked straight to the point.
Zhou Chengxian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Tomorrow is Jing He's birthday, every year at this time, my uncle will invite us to go over for dinner together, and I don't know what's wrong today, I suddenly want to come here to eat." ”
Tang Duyi was stunned, a little surprised, and didn't quite understand how he could suddenly say such a thing.
Before she could ask the reason, Zhou Chengyan had already spoken again, "The scene at home tomorrow will definitely be lively, but compared with my brother's excitement that caused a sensation in the city at that time, they are two diametrically opposed scenes. ”
Tang Duyi heard it in a fog, and couldn't help but twist his eyebrows and ask, "What do you want to say?" ”
Zhou Chengyan stared at her for a moment, and then spit out softly, "I want to trouble you, I must go out with my brother tomorrow." ”
With that, he turned and wanted to leave.
However, Tang Duyi suddenly grabbed his arm, "You don't say half of it, why did you say that Jing He's birthday tomorrow is diametrically opposed to Jing Xiao's birthday at the beginning." ”
Zhou Chengyan paused and turned his head to look at her.
Then, he spoke lightly and told the whole story of the birthday banquet.
After listening to his words, Tang Duyi was stunned, and his mind was in chaos.
Seeing this, Zhou Chengxi didn't continue to say anything, turned around and walked out.
"You're going out so late?" Tang Duyi looked at his back and asked casually.
"There's something else going on." He replied lightly, and then hurried away.
After Tang Duyi entered the house, he sat on the sofa all the time, his eyes were empty, and he looked at the ceiling in a daze, and his mind was full of the words that Zhou Chengyan had said.
The last time Jing Xiao celebrated his birthday, Jing Xunhua became known all over the city, and everyone thought that he loved his son and gave him enough face, even she thought so at that time.
But it wasn't until she heard what Zhou Chengxian said that she knew that things were not like that at all, and the birthday banquet that caused a sensation in Haicheng was just the result of Jing Xunhua's business maximization.
And this time, on Jing Hyuk's birthday, he just wanted to simply eat with his family.
This is without any purpose, without any entanglement of commercial interests, and it is also something that Jing Xiao has never obtained, and it is what Zhou Chengxian said, the two diametrically opposed scenes.
When Jing Xiao entered the room, he saw that she was in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "Why haven't you washed yet?" ”
She suddenly came back to her senses, turned her eyes to look at him, and replied with some weakness, "Oh, I'll go right away." ”
Jing Xiao locked the door, walked over to her side and sat down, reached out to wrap his arms around her shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong?" Wasn't that quite happy just now? ”
Tang Duyi hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Then are you happy?" ”
"Hmm." Jing Xiao responded lightly, slightly narrowing his eyes, his long eyelashes covering the different colors under his eyes, and just said lightly, "Go to bed early tonight, and take you out to play tomorrow." ”
Tang Duyi looked at his handsome face, his mood suddenly became complicated, and a sour feeling spread in his heart.
After a few seconds, she stretched out her arm, took the initiative to hug his waist, and brought her cheek close to his arms, but did not speak.
Jing Xiao lowered his eyes and stared at her, but he didn't say anything.
After a long time, he slowly spoke and said in a low voice: "You can't fully believe what that guy Zhou Chengxi said. ”
Hearing this, Tang Duyi raised his head and looked at him, and said tentatively: "But it's not that you can't believe it, is it?" ”
Jing Xiao knew very well in her heart that she already knew a little thing, so she didn't avoid the topic, and said lightly: "Gardenia, I'm fine." ”
Tang Duyi pursed his lips and plucked up his courage to say, "After that, ......"
"With you in the future, everything will be fine." Jing Xiao interrupted her, as if she knew what she wanted to express, and added at the end, "There are some things, in fact, it's okay to get used to them." ”
