Mysterious creature sightings

Zhuang Jie and Ling Jiangnian made an appointment to have dinner together last night. This restaurant is just a place they usually come to. They can enter at will with just a swipe of the highest standard black card.

After expertly ordering the dishes, Ling Jiangnian took off his mask and asked Zhuang Jie, "Why did you remember to treat me to dinner?"

Judging from the tone of voice, the two of them are familiar.

Zhuang Jie sighed and poured her a small glass of the aperitif that was served first: "Am I not worried about you?"

Ling Jiangnian was silent for two seconds and said with his lips raised, "Why are you worried about me? I'm fine."

"You look like this. You haven't been home for a few days?" Can Zhuang Jie not know her situation? He could reveal her disguise with one sentence.

He also said sincerely: "You don't have to lie to me. It's not like I haven't had this embarrassing period before."

They both share the same problem. Although one is a biological child, she is just like an illegitimate child. Although the other has always been an adopted daughter, the real daughter has recently come back. Their positions in the family are not awkward.

Ling Jiangnian knew what happened to him, so he shook the glass of wine and looked at it for a while, then said: "Three days, maybe five days. I've been busy recently and can't remember the time clearly. The last time I went home... …”

The last time she went home, Ling Jiangyue disappeared while buying breakfast. The atmosphere at home was even worse, so she didn't go back recently.

What are you going back for? Your position is awkward, and my brother...

Ling Jiangnian suppressed his thoughts in time and stopped before the name was remembered.

Zhuang Jie didn't need to hear the whole thing to know how she felt: "Jiang Yue is at home. It's really awkward for you two to live under the same roof. I have gone back. A few days ago, a few policemen came to the door and said they had something to do with Jiang Yue. I guess It’s related to what happened last time in western Sichuan. Judging from Brother Yu’s reaction, he should ask Jiang Yue to stay at home these days.”

Ling Jiangyue, who was listening next door, thought to herself, you are wrong, Ling Jiangyu can't control her.

She continued to listen.

Ling Jiangnian seemed to be even more silent, looking at the transparent liquid in the wine glass in trance, and after a while he responded perfunctorily: "Really."

Zhuang Jie knew that she didn't want to hear Jiang Yue's name anymore, so he sighed again and persuaded her: "Your current situation is actually pretty good. You have always been an adopted daughter. Everyone knows that, and it's not like Jiang Yue came back and suddenly changed." To achieve this status.”

"Besides, just because she's back doesn't mean you've been completely given up. You should know Brother Yu's temper very well. He will never be unfaithful to anyone. He's very sensible. Wasn't he very nice to me at the beginning? That aunt of yours... The look on his face didn’t even mean he was ignoring me.”

"It's different." Ling Jiangnian said with bitterness in his mouth, how could this be the same.

Zhuang Jie: "What's the difference? Let me tell you, as long as you relax now and don't listen to the cynicism of those sour chickens, your life will still be very good. Think about what you got -"

"A fairly good career, a few friends, the opportunity to get an education, and the capital to sit and eat in a restaurant like this are good enough. The only embarrassing thing is to face Jiang Yue. Maybe she will be in a bad mood and make things difficult for you. Ignore you, but who won’t be criticized by others? You’d better not take it to heart, otherwise you will really turn your good life into a miserable one.”

While talking, the dishes for both tables were served.

Yu Zhang was farther away, so he couldn't hear some words clearly, but he didn't need to hear everything clearly. It was enough to know that Zhuang Jie and Ling Jiangnian were closer, and Ling Jiangyue cared about it.

"Do you still want to eat? Or we can change places." He said thoughtfully.

Ling Jiangyue felt his joyful mood, and cooperated with him to pretend to be uncomfortable. He twitched the corners of his mouth, shook his head and whispered: "No need."

She was the one who was hurt, but she didn't even have the courage to stand up and shout out to stop them. She had to lower her voice for fear that the two people would find out that she was eavesdropping.

Sure enough, the eldest lady's temper has been smoothed out by ten years of miserable life, and she is pitifully timid.Yu Zhang sighed and called the waiter: "Let's change seats. Go to the middle. You can also watch the chef perform sashimi. It's very interesting. Forget about this unhappiness, okay?"

She said nothing and followed silently.

It's so considerate. How could there be such a considerate man? If she was really a girl with low self-esteem who had been away from home for ten years and was at a loss what to do, she would probably fall in love with him in just a few hours today.

But she firmly believes that perfect behavior comes from complete indifference.

Yu Zhang is essentially a hunter who is different from what he looks like.

She walked halfway and glanced back at Zhuang Jie, who was chatting with Ling Jiang Nian, with cold eyes.

This meal lost the atmosphere at the beginning - this is what Yu Zhang thought.

In fact, Ling Jiangyue thinks it's pretty good. The conch meat in this restaurant is really delicious. The meat is firm and elastic. It can also be sashimied. The ingredients are fresh and have the sweetness of the seafood itself.

Not to mention that there was a good-looking man in front of her who was trying his best to comfort her and make her laugh. Although it was fake, there are some things that do not matter what they mean. Who knows who will be in the drama at the end of the performance? .

After lunch was over, after Zhuang Jie and Ling Jiangnian left, they got up and went upstairs again.

It's just that Ling Jiangyue is no longer in the mood to choose new clothes.

Zhuang Jie was one of the few friends after she returned to the Ling family. He took her to have fun and often came to the house to make her happy. He never showed his rejection of her in his words and deeds. He looked at her the same way he looked at other people. Similarly, getting along with such people makes her feel most comfortable when she has just been recognized as her home.

But looking at it now, she thought wrongly. Who among the people around her was not more familiar with Ling Jiangnian?They have been together for ten years.

This situation was almost a betrayal for her, who was helpless.

That's what Yu Zhang thought. The almost invisible pity in his eyes overlapped with Mrs. Yu's. Ling Jiangyue observed the differences in her heart, like playing a game of finding fault.

"Sorry, I don't want to try on clothes." She said in a low tone.

Yu Zhang still comforted her gently: "It's okay. But the uncomfortable emotions will keep piling up in my heart and it will become more and more uncomfortable. Do you want to talk to me? Do you think Zhuang Jie likes Ling Jiangnian's adopted daughter more than you?"

Appropriate directness will make it easier for a weak and hesitant person to rely on him. He is very good at deciding his own performance based on other people's personalities.

Ling Jiangyue bit her lips and nodded, looked into his eyes and asked, "Isn't she more lovable than me? After all, she has been with you for so many years, lives the same life as you, and has more common topics. "

Yu Zhang did not deny the performance of others, but only emphasized his own differences euphemistically: "Who you make friends with and who you can talk to more depends on each person's personality and preferences. Some people have the same illness as her and sympathize with each other, but some people may I will never have anything to do with her in my life. Just like I can’t accept sashimi and caviar mixed together, no matter how delicious it is, I can’t accept it.”

Ling Jiangyue could understand and looked at him with brighter and brighter eyes.

The only person who said that he would never accept Ling Jiangnian and was still willing to get along with her and take care of her was him.

At this moment, Yu Zhang's identity was upgraded again, becoming the only existence she wanted to keep and not let go.

Ling Jiangyue almost fell into the drama.
