don't want to miss you
Chapter 2 As if nothing had happened, it turned out to be the most ruthless revenge
Chapter 2 As if nothing had happened, it turned out to be the most ruthless revenge
"Qiaoan, are you planning to rent a house? Where is the house you live in now." Mina came back from the tea room, caught a glimpse of Jiang Qiaoan's display screen, and leaned over to gossip.
"The current set is also rented." After meeting Shi Mochi downstairs in the apartment, Jiang Qiaoan changed her mind again. Today, it is better for her to stay as far away from him as possible.
Mina obviously didn't believe it: "People who can afford that kind of real estate will rent out the house for a little rent?"
"It's rented like a sea view villa, what's so strange about an ordinary apartment."
"The rents of the houses you see are so expensive, it's better to just buy a serviced apartment."
“The housing price is too high and the budget is not enough.”
Mina gasped with an exaggerated expression: "People who drive Land Rover to work still say they have no money?"
"My model is only six 10,000+." Jiang Qiaoan finally expressed displeasure, closed the page she was looking at, and opened the drawer to find documents. She never likes others to inquire about her privacy, let alone a few days ago. I heard Mina get together with several other colleagues to talk about her origin.
In front of the crowd, Mina's face was a little uncomfortable, and she was embarrassed when the manager happened to come in and called her: "Qiao'an, it's just right that you are here."
At that time, Jiang Qiao'an was looking down for documents, and before he could respond, he felt something unusual. The office was silent for a moment, and a small whisper came from beside him: "Look, he is Shi Mochi! The vice president of Yongshi Group Boss, Designer Yang's stepson, it is said that Designer Yang's husband is... Is he so handsome that it is unreasonable?"
Jiang Qiaoan raised his head and looked out the door. Shi Mochi was really standing behind the manager, wearing a dark blue shirt with a light brown narrow tie. After four years, his dressing preferences still remained the same.
In fact, Mo Chi was never a particularly handsome type of man, and he didn't have the so-called sculptural features, but he was tall and straight, with elegant manners, but he had a very clean and delicate temperament. Looking from a distance, it seemed that he could remind people Light blue mint ice water in hot summer.
"This is the designer Jiang Qiaoan, you should have met yesterday." The manager introduced Jiang Qiaoan to Shi Mochi, and then ordered Jiang Qiaoan, "Mr. Shi wants to order a crown, and I recommended you to him, you stop Make sure that he is satisfied with the other work in hand."
Back then, Yongshi was just a small company jointly established by Shi Mochi and his friend Yongge, who was also having conflicts with the family. She experienced almost all the difficulties in the early stage. They must not be able to endure hardships. When they are independent enough and lose all their savings, they will obediently go home and pursue official careers according to their parents' wishes. However, they did not expect that after just a few years, they could really reach this point with their own abilities.
Naturally, the manager had to accompany him all the way. As soon as he got to the VIP room, he took the coat from Shi Mochi's hand and ordered the staff to present Shi Zong's favorite Mingqian Longjing.
"Is it the crown? Do you have any special requirements on price, material, size, style and style?" Jiang Qiaoan asked as usual.
Shi Mochi acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and only concentrated on playing with the tea set in front of him. After Jiang Qiaoan asked again, he answered "no" lightly.
What designers are most afraid of is not that there are too many demands from customers, but that they have no ideas or intentions at all. This kind of people are often the most changeable, and they will still feel uncomfortable when the drawings are changed from left to right. Jiang Qiaoan has to continue to guide: "If you want to To set a jewel in a crown, it must be chosen before it is designed."
"Manager Cai's job is very leisurely?" This sentence was addressed to the manager.
The manager who was by the side got up immediately after listening, indicating that there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
It wasn't until the two of them were left in the huge VIP room that Shi Mochi finally said, "Where's the cufflinks I left here yesterday?"
After confirming that he was here to make trouble for himself, Jiang Qiaoan smiled as he should, and replied in a business-like manner: "Yesterday, I wanted to help Mr. Shi pick it up, but you said it was not important, so I didn't care about it anymore. I'll take you and Ms. Yang out directly. This room is cleaned every morning, noon and night, why don't I ask the responsible colleague for you?"
Shi Mochi looked at Jiang Qiao'an coldly for a few seconds, and saw that her face remained unchanged, and the resentment in her chest became more intense. The person in front of him had never quarreled with him, but he always seemed to know how to make him more angry.
He calmed down for a few seconds, and never mentioned the past: "The person I want to give is very discerning and picky. The crown should be low-key and luxurious. You don't need to worry about the price. The material should be as good as possible, and it must be unique. .”
"Is it for Miss Yang?"
Shi Mochi smiled imperceptibly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I didn't expect that Miss Jiang would also start to be interested in other people's private affairs."
"You misunderstood. Only by designing according to the temperament and appearance of the other party can we make the most suitable jewelry. Don't worry, Mr. Shi, it is the most basic professional ethics in our business not to pry into the privacy of customers and keep secrets for customers. In addition, do you want the crown?" Engraving a special pattern or name?"
"Shi." Shi Mo Chi's face turned from sunny to cloudy in an instant, he didn't want to stay any longer, and got up to leave, "Just engrave this word."
When the manager rushed over to send Mo Chi out, he heard him ask when the design drawings would be released, and immediately said that Jiang Qiaoan would send the drawings to his office after completion.
"I'm not used to talking about personal matters in the office. I'd like to trouble Miss Jiang to deliver the drawings to my apartment. Later, I will ask the secretary to send the photo and address of the person I want to deliver."
Shi Mochi's secretary was extremely efficient, and within an hour after he left, he sent a kraft paper bag over.
When her colleagues gathered around, Jiang Qiaoan was holding a business card in a daze. She was familiar with the name on the slightly frosted piece of paper. The sand-gold strokes reflected the pure black background, and there was an indescribable warmth. — except that it no longer belonged to her.
"I heard that there is a photo of Mr. Shi's real girlfriend in the bag?" Designer Jian in the next office asked cautiously. If Jiang Qiaoan, who is not very gregarious, took the order, he would be full of curiosity before the photo arrived. The women immediately snatched it up.
Jiang Qiaoan didn't want to offend his colleagues, so he said "hmm" and handed over the unopened kraft paper bag.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
"Really, she is hundreds of times prettier than Miss Yang!"
"I've seen this dress in a magazine, and the brooch is also a limited edition. It has such a good temperament, so it goes without saying that it must be the daughter of a rich family."
"Who said it must be a famous lady? Do you want a limited edition for someone Shi Mochi likes?"
Admiration came one after another, and even Mina, who was angry with Jiang Qiaoan and wanted to avoid suspicion because of chasing after Shi Mochi, couldn't help but lean over.
After the colleagues returned the bag, Jiang Qiaoan sealed it without looking at it, put it at the bottom of the drawer, and opened MSN to borrow pictures and information about the crown from his seniors.Livelihood is more important than anything else, since we have already broken up, why do we need to do things to make ourselves sad, Shi Mochi can afford a high price, and she is even more happy to earn a commission.
She had always been concentrating on her work, but she had a dull pain in her lower abdomen, and she couldn't concentrate no matter what, so she hesitated for a moment, then took out the paper bag again.
How can you decide on a style without seeing photos?Jiang Qiaoan said to himself.
Who in this line of work is not used to seeing all kinds of beauties, and the one who can get everyone's unanimous praise is really very beautiful, not tall but perfect, there are nine photos in total, impeccable from every angle, not only good looks, but also good taste in clothes First-rate, knowing how to maximize one's own strengths, truly stunning.
Putting down the photo, Jiang Qiaoan’s stomach cramps became more pronounced, and she could hardly straighten her waist. It was not until the migraines also started to attack that she realized that her period was approaching. Went to the rest area.
After wearing the eye massager for less than a quarter of an hour, the migraine relieved a lot. Taking advantage of the temporary relief of the abdominal pain, Jiang Qiaoan immediately got up from the sofa, took a can of Coke from the locker, and sliced ginger, dried lemon, Put the tangerine peel together in the microwave to heat.
When it was the worst, she even had to go to the hospital for IV drips, but the doctor was extremely opposed to taking painkillers through injections to relieve the pain, because the side effects were so severe that it would affect future childbearing, so she was only told to have children as early as possible. It can be cured without treatment.
Jiang Qiaoan was only eleven or twelve years old when she experienced menarche. Zhou Wanyi's aunt Zhou Yingrou, also her stepmother, hated her so much that she wished she would disappear from her eyes forever. Naturally, she would not think of telling her about this knowledge in advance, and she would do nothing. I understand, I thought I had a strange disease, and I was ashamed to tell others about it. When I went to Mu’s house to swim with Mu Yan, I caught up with the swimming pool to change the water. After soaking in the cold water that hadn’t been exposed to the sun for a whole afternoon, I started to have abdominal pain at night. It took a month for the light red menstrual blood to stop, leaving the root cause of the disease ever since.
Her father accused Zhou Yingrou of not taking good care of her, so she pretended to be heartbroken and blamed herself to tell her daughter how she didn't listen to persuasion. After ten years old, Jiang Qiaoan was used to appreciating Zhou Yingrou's acting with cold eyes, and she would no longer be as vulnerable as she was when she was a child to listen to her stepmother. "Your mother is dead, I won't come back to see you" or "You are simply an unwelcome extra, and your father doesn't like you" then hide and cry for a few days; even if you are bullied behind your back. He will contradict Zhou Yingrou in front of her father again, and give her a chance to show how a loving mother treats an unworthy daughter and the bitterness and helplessness of a stepmother.
After becoming sensible, Jiang Qiaoan no longer resented, and even began to sympathize with Zhou Yingrou. Although her father didn't like her, he didn't like Zhou Yingrou's younger brother either. The woman who pretended to be the main room forcefully scolded the woman who came to her door and said that she was pregnant with her husband's flesh and blood.
Arguing with her father, holding her brother and crying, secretly bullying herself to vent her anger, filing for divorce countless times but giving up because she couldn't let go of the so-called love... In her memory, Zhou Yingrou, as Mrs. Jiang, seems to have been doing this all the time. A few things, over and over again.
Jiang Qiaoan felt that her mother was really wise, and found that the man was unreliable, so she divorced and remarried. Even if she never came back to see her, or even cut off all contact, it was better than self-torture like Zhou Yingrou.She left home to go to a boarding high school when she was 15 years old, and her personality gradually became lively and cheerful, while Zhou Yingrou stayed by her father's side and continued to toss until she died in a car accident.
In her mind, her father is almost useless except for his looks that can confuse all women, and he is not worthy of the crazy love of a famous lady like Zhou Yingrou.
Hearing Mu Yan said indignantly that Zhou Wanyi was about to get what she wanted and would soon marry Chen Yuedong, whom she had been entangled with for many years, Jiang Qiaoan only thought it was funny, and secretly sighed that in addition to her temper, Zhou Wanyi also inherited her aunt's stupidity and inability to think ——Ignore Mu Yin, who is equally superior and loves her, and choose Chen Yuedong, who not only doesn't take her seriously at all, but will never get out of Qiao Yexue's shadow.
If asking for trouble like this is considered love, then love is so cheap that it is shameful.
Jiang Qiao'an thought, in fact, she is also shameful, she obviously made a decision a few years ago, but now that she knows that he has found a beautiful woman, not only is she not generous enough to congratulate, she is also so depressed that she needs to use self-deception to comfort herself.Unwell and in an extremely bad mood, she just wanted to hide immediately and tucked into the quilt, drank the hot Coca-Cola ginger tea in one gulp, then changed into a coat and asked her boss for a half-day leave.
After all, it is a northern city, and the cold wind can be said to be biting before December. Even though he had studied here for four years, Jiang Qiaoan still couldn't adapt to such a dry cold. Shi Mochi was still shivering when he stuffed his hands into his sleeves, but the cashmere coat that was now covered over the dress naturally couldn't resist the cold wind pouring in from all directions.
Probably her body could not adapt to the huge temperature difference between indoors and outdoors for a while. Jiang Qiaoan’s abdominal pain intensified again before she got to the car. The strong colic made her almost nauseous. She didn’t dare to drive in this state, so she had to return to the company Take the aspirin in the drawer for the pain.
It took her twice as long to get back to the office. She was about to open the door and go in when she heard the chatter inside, but stopped involuntarily.
"...just entered the industry, and I don't seem to have any background. Wearing a famous brand and driving a famous car doesn't count, and I live in a luxury house. Any apartment over there is worth a single-family villa farther away." It was Mina's voice .
"Yeah, thanks to the fact that I've survived for so long, and I'm married fairly well, but I'm far less wealthy than her."
"You guys have been in the industry longer than me, don't you even understand this? Just look at those young girls who follow celebrities to choose emeralds and diamonds. What's the use of working hard, winning awards and being famous! Even if you haven't studied in university, you have a pretty face She has a voluptuous figure and has everything, if you have time to envy Jiang Qiaoan, it is better to fly to Korea for plastic surgery."
"By the way, she has been looking at the rental information this morning, and said that the previous residence was rented. People who can afford that kind of real estate will rent out the house for a little rent? It must be because of a breakup with Kuo Shao that they had to move out. "
"How do you know it's the rich young man? Maybe a bald head with a beer belly. She doesn't have parents, so she doesn't have to worry about it. If it were you and me, it would be strange if my parents didn't break my legs."
Jiang Qiaoan was so angry that she wanted to laugh. She knew early on that she didn't fit in, didn't like to laugh, didn't like parties and was too lazy to socialize, and would be called defiant behind her back by her colleagues, but she didn't expect it to be so ugly, and even her parents were mentioned.She leaned against the wall slowly, and couldn't help but think of Qian Zhongshu's sentence "The viciousness of honest and honest people is like the sand in the rice or the unclean thorns in the boned fish fillets, which will give people an unexpected feeling." Pain".
Jiang Qiao'an was hesitating whether to open the door and go in immediately when Mu Yin's call came in.
"The president wants to catch me up in the evening. I won't go back to have dinner. I just stopped by the supermarket. The refrigerator is full. You don't have to squeeze it again after get off work."
In the morning, she asked Mu Yin what he likes to eat, and said that she would go shopping after get off work, because she didn't want to take advantage of Mu Yin, and he refused to accept the money, so she had to pay the rent in other ways, but she didn't expect that Mu Yin would pay the rent again. preemptive.But at this moment, she was so uncomfortable that she didn't even have the energy to say polite words, she just wanted to hang up the phone after saying "um".
"Are you uncomfortable?" Mu Yin finally heard something strange.
"It's okay, I'm busy." She forced herself to reply.
As soon as Mu Yin hung up the phone, Mu Yan called in. She smiled and asked showing off, "I'm not wrong, is my brother a nice person? He just called to ask me Is there any taboo, he is so annoying even going to the supermarket, he will open a list and send someone to buy what he needs, when did he buy groceries? Hurry up and say you are very touched!"
"Mom, will the godmother really want to be Tangtang's little aunt in the future?" Li Yijiang and Mu Yan's eldest daughter asked childishly from the side.
"Hush, the godmother will get angry and run away!" Mu Yan hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth, and said to Jiang Qiao'an with a laugh, "What about children, hahaha."
Jiang Qiaoan suddenly felt her eye sockets swell. Of course she is happy that her best friend can have so much happiness, but the contrast is too strong, and occasionally she will inevitably feel sad, just like whenever she hears Mu Yan say, "It's freezing outside." , the family is very happy when drinking tea, eating cakes and chatting around the warm fireplace, so I like "deep winter" always very sad.
She finally couldn't hold back anymore, went to a corner where no one was around, and wept over the phone. From Shi Mochi's girlfriend, to the unbearable pain, to being criticized behind her back by her colleagues... Fortunately, even if she has no family, even if she loses her love, There is also a friend who grew up with you to confide in.
Who says tears are not a good thing?After crying for a while, the depression in his heart melted away a bit. Jiang Qiaoan hung up the phone and went to the bathroom to wash his face and touch up his makeup. As soon as he got back to his desk, a text message came into his phone - wait for me in the office, and he will be there in 10 minutes , Muin.
Jiang Qiaoan was stunned for a moment and then understood that it was Mu Yan's kindness, but let alone Mu Yin had other entertainment, even if she didn't, according to her personality, she would not bother others with such trivial matters, so she replied without thinking No, thanks.
Mu Yin didn't come back, she knew that he must have been forced by his sister to be polite, so she didn't care, took the pills and water cup, got up and walked to the tea room.
Colleagues were not sure whether Jiang Qiaoan had heard the previous discussion, and while feeling guilty, they greeted her with extra enthusiasm while observing her reaction.
She didn't expect too much from the friendship among her colleagues. If she is not considered a friend, she can't talk about harm. She also understands that breaking faces will only affect her work without any benefit, so she treats her as usual calmly, and her colleagues Feeling relieved, she came over to ask for warmth as if to compensate, and even grabbed the cup to fetch hot water for her.
Taking the pills will not have an immediate effect, so Jiang Qiaoan had to stay in the office drinking hot water to wait for the pain to disappear, and was flipping through magazines of related industries when he heard someone knocking on the door and saying, "Designer Jiang, someone is looking for you. "
Seeing Mu Yin, she was naturally surprised. Before she could speak, she heard him say: "When I went out in the morning, I told you not to wear so little clothes."
Just as he was surprised, he had already approached, holding a man's coat in his hand, leaning down and asking softly: "Is it better, can we go now?"
Meeting Mu Yin's eyes, Jiang Qiaoan immediately nodded knowingly, put on his bag and said goodbye to his colleagues.
Accurately judging the other party's purchasing ability, class, occupation, and even personality from clothing, leather shoes, accessories, and behavior in the shortest time is the most basic ability in their business. The "boyfriend" is a second-generation ancestor who has an extraordinary background and is not idle.
Amidst all kinds of surprised or envious eyes, Jiang Qiaoan laughed at himself for being so childish for not being a little girl anymore, while enjoying the vanity of this moment.
As soon as she walked out of the company, she apologized and urged: "I'm so sorry, Mu Yan asked you to come here, you go and get busy with business, I will drive back by myself."
Mu Yin put the coat he brought on her body and confiscated the key in her hand: "The dinner is cancelled, I can't go into your cloakroom, so I have to bring my own, don't drive your car, I will also leave tomorrow morning." If you want to go to work, I can drop you off."
"Didn't you say that the president wants to welcome you, how can you not go?"
"The president is a good friend of my father. He watched me grow up and wouldn't mind such small things." Seeing that Jiang Qiao'an was still feeling sorry, he smiled brightly again, "I'm not for you, I don't want to be called a A bald man with a beer belly, so I came here to clarify."
She first wanted to laugh and then felt a little embarrassed: "Mu Yan is really, why did I even tell you this."
Mu Yin opened the car door for her, and after returning to the driver's seat, he took a piece of chocolate from the refrigerator on the right hand and handed it over: "My sister has been eating chocolate non-stop under the pretext that it can improve her mood, and stuffed it everywhere. , In fact, there is no time when she is unhappy."
Seeing that it was indeed Mu Yan's favorite brand, Jiang Qiaoan smiled while peeling off the tin foil: "That's why she can't lose weight."
The warm air from the air conditioner, the soft and soothing music, and the strange but reassuring smell on Mu Yin's coat quickly made her feel sleepy, but before she fell asleep, she heard him ask: "What's wrong with you? Don't you want to go to the hospital first?"
"No, it's an old problem."
"Stomach pain can be big or small, it's better to go for a checkup."
"It's not sick, it will recover naturally in a few days."
Mu Yin has been in the army since he was 17, and he didn't change jobs until recently. He doesn't act like a playboy at all. The only girl he has ever met is Zhou Wanyi, except his cousin Mu Yan, so when he understands Jiang Qiaoan's meaning, he is immediately embarrassed Incessantly, I had to cough lightly as a cover.
If she hadn't seen Mu Yin blushing with her own eyes, she would never have believed that there are such simple men in this world. She couldn't help but want to laugh and was afraid that he would be more embarrassed. Wiping a smile made Jiang Qiaoan feel dazed for a while, and even she herself couldn't remember how long it had been since the corners of her mouth rose from the heart.
Back home, Jiang Qiaoan didn't even have the energy to take a shower, so he went back to the bedroom directly. Although he took the medicine, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his lower abdomen, so he had to curl up and wrap himself in a quilt.Lying on the bed, he did not feel sleepy, and was about to get up to work when he heard Mu Yin knocking on the door gently.
The roommate was a man, so naturally he couldn't wear his pajamas out of the bedroom, and the heater was fully turned on, so she just picked up a loose cashmere shirt and put it on, changed into a pair of comfortable cotton pants, and went out.
"I took half a bucket of hot water for you. Soak your feet in it to see if it will heal faster. The unit I stayed in used to conduct exercises for more than half of the year, and the conditions outside were worse, comrades-in-arms When I have a stomachache, I just soak it in hot water, and it will usually get better soon, um... Although the reasons are different, it should be helpful."
Jiang Qiaoan knew that he meant well, so naturally she would not refuse. The water temperature was a bit high, and she dared to put her feet in after waiting for a while. As soon as the hot water reached her calves, the warm current swept her body from bottom to top, and the warmth after the cold It made her nose sore again, and she lowered her head in front of Mu Yin because she didn't want to lose face. After a while, she said, "It's really useful, thank you."
"We live close to each other, and we should help each other, and I haven't thanked you for what happened back then." Mu Yin pretended not to see her reddish eyes, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You should smile more, otherwise It can give people the illusion of being difficult.”
Jiang Qiaoan suddenly raised his head and gave him a big smile back: "If you laugh at everyone like this, they must think I'm an idiot."
Mu Yin also laughed: "Isn't it just that my ex-boyfriend has a new love? What a big deal. If Zhou Wanyi wants to get married, I won't be the same as before."
Her mood became depressed again: "I'm different from Shi Mochi. I was the one who insisted on breaking up with him back then, but now I can't see it... Isn't it funny."
"...Why do you have to break up?"
Jiang Qiaoan was silent for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I didn't understand the word 'overwhelming water'."
She tied her ponytail casually, revealing a beautiful neck, especially white and slender. Mu Yin inadvertently caught a glimpse of the thin golden chain on her neck, only a small and delicate engraved cleat hung on it, hidden in the collarbone. Under the shadow, his breathing stagnated inexplicably.
It was only six o'clock when Jiang Qiaoan woke up, it was winter, the sky had already completely darkened, and there was a light rain outside, and the windows were hazy and connected with fog.She adjusted the sofa back to its original angle, and took off the thin blanket that she didn't know when she was covering her body - she was watching an old movie to find inspiration, but she fell asleep unconsciously.
The living room has not turned on the lights, and the TV has been turned off, only a gleam of warm light leaks through the translucent glass on the study door.
Xu Shi heard the movement outside, and Mu Yin pushed open the door and came out: "Are you hungry, let's go out to eat together?"
"It's raining, and the outdoor temperature must be lower, so let's just eat something at home."
"Aren't you uncomfortable? I'm not very good at cooking. If you're afraid of the cold, I'll go out and buy it."
"It's just a minor ailment, and it's not really sick. How can I be so fragile? I happened to catch up with the college entrance examination. I was sweating in pain and finished the exam ahead of time. I heard from Mu Yan that you like fried ribs?" Jiang Qiaoan left Going into the kitchen, she rolled up her sleeves and opened the refrigerator. She has always understood that no one is born to be nice to herself, so if someone helped her one point, she must pay back two points to feel at ease.
Mu Yin was a little surprised when she was used to the squeamish younger sister and Zhou Wanyi who often complained that she was not careful and romantic enough: "I'll help you prepare together."
Whether it is vegetables or fruits, he will only buy big and brightly colored ones. Cucumbers have no moisture, green vegetables are old and dry, grapefruits are of the wrong variety, and black grapes are not fresh enough. After checking what he bought, Jiang Qiaoan had to say tactfully : "Well... In fact, shopping, cooking, washing dishes and cleaning are very simple. I am more used to coming alone. If you don't help, maybe I can save more time."
Mu Yin was already suffering from these headaches. Although he was embarrassed to leave all the housework to his roommate, he was happy to get out of the misery: "You were just looking for old European and American movies with the aristocratic atmosphere of the court, so I will find a few for you to download to mobile in the hard drive."
In less than half an hour, Jiang Qiaoan came out with three dishes and one soup. The main food was egg pumpkin shredded pancakes fried in vegetable oil and quick-frozen shrimp spring rolls bought by Mu Yin.
Mu Yin doesn't like vegetarian dishes, so he naturally ate the fried pork ribs specially made for him first, and found that the taste was mediocre, then he tasted celery and cashew nuts, and a piece of rouge drunken lotus root. The vegetarian dishes taste the same as yours, and my grandma doesn't have to nudge me about picky eaters every day."
Jiang Qiaoan smiled, and seeing that Mu Yin didn't move the ribs anymore, he asked, "Fried ribs are terrible? I went to learn cooking before, but I only learned vegetarian dishes and soups. Except for steamed fish, other meats Not very good at it.”
"It turns out that there are still people interested in cooking."
In fact, she doesn't love the kitchen. If it weren't for Mu Yan or Mu Yin, she would have cooked a bowl of purple sweet potato porridge or gnawed a root of corn for dinner. The reason why she worked hard to cook was to please Shi Mochi.
Shi Mochi is a rare vegetarian among men. He likes food with a light and single taste. Except for vegetables and fruits, he almost does not touch red meat at all, and only occasionally eats sashimi and steamed fish.Vegetarian dishes and steamed fish really test one's culinary skills. In order to please him, she, who doesn't like oily smoke the least, specially signed up for a training class. It's just that Shi Mochi is too picky about food, so she practiced very hard to do it. He still hates the food, not only jokes that she is a pig who can eat everything, but also keeps complaining that his grandma's cooking is considered real food.
Thinking of the past, she suddenly lost her appetite, hurriedly finished the soup in the bowl, and went to the kitchen to peel and remove the seeds from the bunch of black grapes that could no longer be stored, and mixed them with brown sugar and nuts into yogurt for dessert.
Because she didn't want this matter to bother her for a longer period of time, these days Jiang Qiao'an was looking up information and watching movies almost without sleep, and finally finished the first draft in only half the time. She didn't want to go to Shi Mochi's apartment, but I called his office several times to make an appointment, but was told that "Vice President Shi is not in the company" - there was no personal phone number on the back of the business card, only the address of the apartment written by hand.
On Saturday night, Jiang Qiaoan received a call from Shi Mochi's secretary, asking her to take the design drawings to Shi Mochi's apartment the next morning. After hesitating all night, she finally rang his door early on the weekend. Door.
Shi Mochi should have just gotten up - his hair is still wet, and his pajama pants have not been changed.
"Miss Jiang wants to ask me something?"
There was a strong nasal sound in his voice, and Jiang Qiaoan understood why he didn't go to the company. He was taken care of by his mother since he was a child, and he was so picky about food that he didn't have a mouthful. He would rather be hungry. Caught a cold until I met her later.
"The blueprint is out, I'll show it to you." Glancing at the wine bottle on the coffee table, she still couldn't hold back, "Why are you still drinking when you have a cold?"
"The assistant in charge of purchasing daily necessities has asked for leave, and there is no drinking water at home." After answering, he thought of sarcasm, "Miss Jiang's service attitude is really good, she cares about customers so much."
Jiang Qiaoan knew that Mo Chi's daily chores had nothing to do with him, and his girlfriend would naturally take care of him, so he suppressed the ridiculous thought in his heart, opened the notebook directly, and showed him the design for review.
Shi Mochi only glanced at it: "It's too simple, not valuable enough, and I can't take it out."
"Looking at the crown alone, it may be a bit simple, but the jewelry is to make the wearer more beautiful. The most important thing is to be simple and in line with the other party's temperament. It is like a diamond that will appear brighter if the surrounding light is dimmed. If it is too If it is too gorgeous and complicated, it will overwhelm the guests and distract the attention of others from the wearer. Of course, it is another matter if it is just a display that is used for collection and not for wearing.”
"Find a way to balance, the person I want to send is very important." Catching the emotion on Jiang Qiao'an's face that has not yet been concealed in the future, Shi Mochi asked with a half-smile, "Why, do I value others?" Do you have any objections to the woman?"
"Where, it's just a pity that Mr. Shi was not satisfied. I will change the picture as soon as possible. Excuse me."
Jiang Qiaoan was about to get up to say goodbye, when suddenly there was a ball of hair on her feet, she recognized at a glance that it was the rabbit that she raised with Shi Mochi back then, so she was naturally very surprised.
This rabbit was originally given to Mu Yan by Li Yijiang. After Mu Yan's 3-minute enthusiasm passed, Jiang Qiaoan praised it for its cuteness, so he simply gave it to her.Not only is it clingy and jealous, it is also the best at escaping from the cage. It always runs over when she and Shi Mochi are working and stomps on the materials that occupy their attention. Shi Mochi has a bad temper. He clamored to beat it more than once, if she hadn't stopped him, he would have thrown it out long ago.
Unexpectedly, the rabbit's lifespan is so short, and Shi Mochi can keep it until now.
She touched the rabbit's ears and leaned over to hug it: "If you find it troublesome to take care of it, I can take it back and raise it."
When Mo Chi was about to speak, a text message came into Jiang Qiaoan's cell phone. It was Mu Yin who was on a business trip in a neighboring city the day before——I arrived home at 09:30. Have you woken up yet? I know there is a place that serves a good breakfast. Let's go together if you haven't eaten yet.
"Take it back to your and other people's place?" He was tall, and he could clearly see the content above with a slight tilt of his head. Before Jiang Qiaoan could answer, he picked up the rabbit impatiently and threw it back into the cage.
When he sat back on the sofa, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The 300 million my mother gave you was used up, so you found that kid from the Mu family again?"
"How did you know..." Jiang Qiaoan was surprised, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Although the Mu family has a big business, all the shares are in the hands of Mu Cheng. Although the so-called third young master of the Mu family is stronger than Mu Wei, who has no status, they only have a few more properties. In fact, they don't have much money. You Tell him to break up and move out, and I will give you 200 million immediately."
Hearing the last sentence of humiliation, she finally calmed down and tried her best to pretend nothing had happened: "I didn't know until today that you are such a naive person."
Jiang Qiaoan closed the notebook and got up to leave, but Shi Mochi grabbed her arm and dragged her back to the sofa: "That's too little, so 250 million?"
"Crazy, let go!" Jiang Qiaoan tried hard to break free from him, but he got tighter and tighter.
The more Jiang Qiaoan struggled, the more hatred he felt. He simply grabbed her chin and forced her into his eyes: "250 million and still refuse to break up? How long have you guys known each other? Don't tell me you are sincere." It's impossible for me to pay 300 million, because I don't think that kid is worth more than me."
There was a sudden knock at the door, seeing the incomparably ambiguous postures of the two people on the sofa, Yang Jinghan was so surprised that he couldn't speak coherently: "I, I... You have ignored me recently, so you called Yong Ge and Ouyang Yang, knowing that you have a headache I have been at home these days, so I asked your assistant for the key to deliver medicine and food..."
Jiang Qiaoan was very embarrassed, but Shi Mochi had a look of peace of mind: "Thank you, let's put the things on the table."
After seeing that the other person was Designer Jiang, Yang Jinghan's embarrassment and sadness turned into anger, and he rushed over to Shi Mochi and got angry: "Why are you with her? I gave you a gift, but you fell in love with her?" The person I found as a gift! No wonder my aunt reminded me that something is wrong with you recently, maybe you have a girlfriend, let me pay attention, I didn't believe it at first, this is too ironic, what is the relationship between you?"
"I want to marry her." Shi Mochi stretched out his arms to embrace Jiang Qiaoan, looking at her with gentle eyes.
Jiang Qiaoan was surprised at first, but then understood after a while, and did not refute.
"You are really capable, just wait for me!" She gave Jiang Qiaoan a look, and slammed the door out.
As soon as Yang Jinghan left, Shi Mochi resumed his previous expression, and let go of Jiang Qiaoan's hand.
"She asked your assistant for the key, so you knew she was coming, and the secretary asked me to come up with you in this play. Your mother wants you to be with her, and you don't know how to say no, don't want No matter how entangled she is, she is afraid that she will find trouble with your girlfriend, so she borrowed me as a shield." When Mo Chi stopped talking, he just looked at her calmly, and after a few seconds of pause, Jiang Qiaoan smiled, "Before I met you again, I really didn't know that just four years would turn a person into this. I am not angry or blame you. Who made me owe you back then."
"I didn't know she would come. It's not the so-called time that made me like this, but you." He finally said it, but she had already left.
As soon as he walked out of Shi Mochi's apartment, Jiang Qiaoan took out his mobile phone. Although he tried his best to control it, his fingers still trembled uncontrollably, but he dialed the same number more than a dozen times, and he still got the sentence "Sorry, you dialed The number is temporarily unavailable"...
(End of this chapter)
"Qiaoan, are you planning to rent a house? Where is the house you live in now." Mina came back from the tea room, caught a glimpse of Jiang Qiaoan's display screen, and leaned over to gossip.
"The current set is also rented." After meeting Shi Mochi downstairs in the apartment, Jiang Qiaoan changed her mind again. Today, it is better for her to stay as far away from him as possible.
Mina obviously didn't believe it: "People who can afford that kind of real estate will rent out the house for a little rent?"
"It's rented like a sea view villa, what's so strange about an ordinary apartment."
"The rents of the houses you see are so expensive, it's better to just buy a serviced apartment."
“The housing price is too high and the budget is not enough.”
Mina gasped with an exaggerated expression: "People who drive Land Rover to work still say they have no money?"
"My model is only six 10,000+." Jiang Qiaoan finally expressed displeasure, closed the page she was looking at, and opened the drawer to find documents. She never likes others to inquire about her privacy, let alone a few days ago. I heard Mina get together with several other colleagues to talk about her origin.
In front of the crowd, Mina's face was a little uncomfortable, and she was embarrassed when the manager happened to come in and called her: "Qiao'an, it's just right that you are here."
At that time, Jiang Qiao'an was looking down for documents, and before he could respond, he felt something unusual. The office was silent for a moment, and a small whisper came from beside him: "Look, he is Shi Mochi! The vice president of Yongshi Group Boss, Designer Yang's stepson, it is said that Designer Yang's husband is... Is he so handsome that it is unreasonable?"
Jiang Qiaoan raised his head and looked out the door. Shi Mochi was really standing behind the manager, wearing a dark blue shirt with a light brown narrow tie. After four years, his dressing preferences still remained the same.
In fact, Mo Chi was never a particularly handsome type of man, and he didn't have the so-called sculptural features, but he was tall and straight, with elegant manners, but he had a very clean and delicate temperament. Looking from a distance, it seemed that he could remind people Light blue mint ice water in hot summer.
"This is the designer Jiang Qiaoan, you should have met yesterday." The manager introduced Jiang Qiaoan to Shi Mochi, and then ordered Jiang Qiaoan, "Mr. Shi wants to order a crown, and I recommended you to him, you stop Make sure that he is satisfied with the other work in hand."
Back then, Yongshi was just a small company jointly established by Shi Mochi and his friend Yongge, who was also having conflicts with the family. She experienced almost all the difficulties in the early stage. They must not be able to endure hardships. When they are independent enough and lose all their savings, they will obediently go home and pursue official careers according to their parents' wishes. However, they did not expect that after just a few years, they could really reach this point with their own abilities.
Naturally, the manager had to accompany him all the way. As soon as he got to the VIP room, he took the coat from Shi Mochi's hand and ordered the staff to present Shi Zong's favorite Mingqian Longjing.
"Is it the crown? Do you have any special requirements on price, material, size, style and style?" Jiang Qiaoan asked as usual.
Shi Mochi acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and only concentrated on playing with the tea set in front of him. After Jiang Qiaoan asked again, he answered "no" lightly.
What designers are most afraid of is not that there are too many demands from customers, but that they have no ideas or intentions at all. This kind of people are often the most changeable, and they will still feel uncomfortable when the drawings are changed from left to right. Jiang Qiaoan has to continue to guide: "If you want to To set a jewel in a crown, it must be chosen before it is designed."
"Manager Cai's job is very leisurely?" This sentence was addressed to the manager.
The manager who was by the side got up immediately after listening, indicating that there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
It wasn't until the two of them were left in the huge VIP room that Shi Mochi finally said, "Where's the cufflinks I left here yesterday?"
After confirming that he was here to make trouble for himself, Jiang Qiaoan smiled as he should, and replied in a business-like manner: "Yesterday, I wanted to help Mr. Shi pick it up, but you said it was not important, so I didn't care about it anymore. I'll take you and Ms. Yang out directly. This room is cleaned every morning, noon and night, why don't I ask the responsible colleague for you?"
Shi Mochi looked at Jiang Qiao'an coldly for a few seconds, and saw that her face remained unchanged, and the resentment in her chest became more intense. The person in front of him had never quarreled with him, but he always seemed to know how to make him more angry.
He calmed down for a few seconds, and never mentioned the past: "The person I want to give is very discerning and picky. The crown should be low-key and luxurious. You don't need to worry about the price. The material should be as good as possible, and it must be unique. .”
"Is it for Miss Yang?"
Shi Mochi smiled imperceptibly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I didn't expect that Miss Jiang would also start to be interested in other people's private affairs."
"You misunderstood. Only by designing according to the temperament and appearance of the other party can we make the most suitable jewelry. Don't worry, Mr. Shi, it is the most basic professional ethics in our business not to pry into the privacy of customers and keep secrets for customers. In addition, do you want the crown?" Engraving a special pattern or name?"
"Shi." Shi Mo Chi's face turned from sunny to cloudy in an instant, he didn't want to stay any longer, and got up to leave, "Just engrave this word."
When the manager rushed over to send Mo Chi out, he heard him ask when the design drawings would be released, and immediately said that Jiang Qiaoan would send the drawings to his office after completion.
"I'm not used to talking about personal matters in the office. I'd like to trouble Miss Jiang to deliver the drawings to my apartment. Later, I will ask the secretary to send the photo and address of the person I want to deliver."
Shi Mochi's secretary was extremely efficient, and within an hour after he left, he sent a kraft paper bag over.
When her colleagues gathered around, Jiang Qiaoan was holding a business card in a daze. She was familiar with the name on the slightly frosted piece of paper. The sand-gold strokes reflected the pure black background, and there was an indescribable warmth. — except that it no longer belonged to her.
"I heard that there is a photo of Mr. Shi's real girlfriend in the bag?" Designer Jian in the next office asked cautiously. If Jiang Qiaoan, who is not very gregarious, took the order, he would be full of curiosity before the photo arrived. The women immediately snatched it up.
Jiang Qiaoan didn't want to offend his colleagues, so he said "hmm" and handed over the unopened kraft paper bag.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
"Really, she is hundreds of times prettier than Miss Yang!"
"I've seen this dress in a magazine, and the brooch is also a limited edition. It has such a good temperament, so it goes without saying that it must be the daughter of a rich family."
"Who said it must be a famous lady? Do you want a limited edition for someone Shi Mochi likes?"
Admiration came one after another, and even Mina, who was angry with Jiang Qiaoan and wanted to avoid suspicion because of chasing after Shi Mochi, couldn't help but lean over.
After the colleagues returned the bag, Jiang Qiaoan sealed it without looking at it, put it at the bottom of the drawer, and opened MSN to borrow pictures and information about the crown from his seniors.Livelihood is more important than anything else, since we have already broken up, why do we need to do things to make ourselves sad, Shi Mochi can afford a high price, and she is even more happy to earn a commission.
She had always been concentrating on her work, but she had a dull pain in her lower abdomen, and she couldn't concentrate no matter what, so she hesitated for a moment, then took out the paper bag again.
How can you decide on a style without seeing photos?Jiang Qiaoan said to himself.
Who in this line of work is not used to seeing all kinds of beauties, and the one who can get everyone's unanimous praise is really very beautiful, not tall but perfect, there are nine photos in total, impeccable from every angle, not only good looks, but also good taste in clothes First-rate, knowing how to maximize one's own strengths, truly stunning.
Putting down the photo, Jiang Qiaoan’s stomach cramps became more pronounced, and she could hardly straighten her waist. It was not until the migraines also started to attack that she realized that her period was approaching. Went to the rest area.
After wearing the eye massager for less than a quarter of an hour, the migraine relieved a lot. Taking advantage of the temporary relief of the abdominal pain, Jiang Qiaoan immediately got up from the sofa, took a can of Coke from the locker, and sliced ginger, dried lemon, Put the tangerine peel together in the microwave to heat.
When it was the worst, she even had to go to the hospital for IV drips, but the doctor was extremely opposed to taking painkillers through injections to relieve the pain, because the side effects were so severe that it would affect future childbearing, so she was only told to have children as early as possible. It can be cured without treatment.
Jiang Qiaoan was only eleven or twelve years old when she experienced menarche. Zhou Wanyi's aunt Zhou Yingrou, also her stepmother, hated her so much that she wished she would disappear from her eyes forever. Naturally, she would not think of telling her about this knowledge in advance, and she would do nothing. I understand, I thought I had a strange disease, and I was ashamed to tell others about it. When I went to Mu’s house to swim with Mu Yan, I caught up with the swimming pool to change the water. After soaking in the cold water that hadn’t been exposed to the sun for a whole afternoon, I started to have abdominal pain at night. It took a month for the light red menstrual blood to stop, leaving the root cause of the disease ever since.
Her father accused Zhou Yingrou of not taking good care of her, so she pretended to be heartbroken and blamed herself to tell her daughter how she didn't listen to persuasion. After ten years old, Jiang Qiaoan was used to appreciating Zhou Yingrou's acting with cold eyes, and she would no longer be as vulnerable as she was when she was a child to listen to her stepmother. "Your mother is dead, I won't come back to see you" or "You are simply an unwelcome extra, and your father doesn't like you" then hide and cry for a few days; even if you are bullied behind your back. He will contradict Zhou Yingrou in front of her father again, and give her a chance to show how a loving mother treats an unworthy daughter and the bitterness and helplessness of a stepmother.
After becoming sensible, Jiang Qiaoan no longer resented, and even began to sympathize with Zhou Yingrou. Although her father didn't like her, he didn't like Zhou Yingrou's younger brother either. The woman who pretended to be the main room forcefully scolded the woman who came to her door and said that she was pregnant with her husband's flesh and blood.
Arguing with her father, holding her brother and crying, secretly bullying herself to vent her anger, filing for divorce countless times but giving up because she couldn't let go of the so-called love... In her memory, Zhou Yingrou, as Mrs. Jiang, seems to have been doing this all the time. A few things, over and over again.
Jiang Qiaoan felt that her mother was really wise, and found that the man was unreliable, so she divorced and remarried. Even if she never came back to see her, or even cut off all contact, it was better than self-torture like Zhou Yingrou.She left home to go to a boarding high school when she was 15 years old, and her personality gradually became lively and cheerful, while Zhou Yingrou stayed by her father's side and continued to toss until she died in a car accident.
In her mind, her father is almost useless except for his looks that can confuse all women, and he is not worthy of the crazy love of a famous lady like Zhou Yingrou.
Hearing Mu Yan said indignantly that Zhou Wanyi was about to get what she wanted and would soon marry Chen Yuedong, whom she had been entangled with for many years, Jiang Qiaoan only thought it was funny, and secretly sighed that in addition to her temper, Zhou Wanyi also inherited her aunt's stupidity and inability to think ——Ignore Mu Yin, who is equally superior and loves her, and choose Chen Yuedong, who not only doesn't take her seriously at all, but will never get out of Qiao Yexue's shadow.
If asking for trouble like this is considered love, then love is so cheap that it is shameful.
Jiang Qiao'an thought, in fact, she is also shameful, she obviously made a decision a few years ago, but now that she knows that he has found a beautiful woman, not only is she not generous enough to congratulate, she is also so depressed that she needs to use self-deception to comfort herself.Unwell and in an extremely bad mood, she just wanted to hide immediately and tucked into the quilt, drank the hot Coca-Cola ginger tea in one gulp, then changed into a coat and asked her boss for a half-day leave.
After all, it is a northern city, and the cold wind can be said to be biting before December. Even though he had studied here for four years, Jiang Qiaoan still couldn't adapt to such a dry cold. Shi Mochi was still shivering when he stuffed his hands into his sleeves, but the cashmere coat that was now covered over the dress naturally couldn't resist the cold wind pouring in from all directions.
Probably her body could not adapt to the huge temperature difference between indoors and outdoors for a while. Jiang Qiaoan’s abdominal pain intensified again before she got to the car. The strong colic made her almost nauseous. She didn’t dare to drive in this state, so she had to return to the company Take the aspirin in the drawer for the pain.
It took her twice as long to get back to the office. She was about to open the door and go in when she heard the chatter inside, but stopped involuntarily.
"...just entered the industry, and I don't seem to have any background. Wearing a famous brand and driving a famous car doesn't count, and I live in a luxury house. Any apartment over there is worth a single-family villa farther away." It was Mina's voice .
"Yeah, thanks to the fact that I've survived for so long, and I'm married fairly well, but I'm far less wealthy than her."
"You guys have been in the industry longer than me, don't you even understand this? Just look at those young girls who follow celebrities to choose emeralds and diamonds. What's the use of working hard, winning awards and being famous! Even if you haven't studied in university, you have a pretty face She has a voluptuous figure and has everything, if you have time to envy Jiang Qiaoan, it is better to fly to Korea for plastic surgery."
"By the way, she has been looking at the rental information this morning, and said that the previous residence was rented. People who can afford that kind of real estate will rent out the house for a little rent? It must be because of a breakup with Kuo Shao that they had to move out. "
"How do you know it's the rich young man? Maybe a bald head with a beer belly. She doesn't have parents, so she doesn't have to worry about it. If it were you and me, it would be strange if my parents didn't break my legs."
Jiang Qiaoan was so angry that she wanted to laugh. She knew early on that she didn't fit in, didn't like to laugh, didn't like parties and was too lazy to socialize, and would be called defiant behind her back by her colleagues, but she didn't expect it to be so ugly, and even her parents were mentioned.She leaned against the wall slowly, and couldn't help but think of Qian Zhongshu's sentence "The viciousness of honest and honest people is like the sand in the rice or the unclean thorns in the boned fish fillets, which will give people an unexpected feeling." Pain".
Jiang Qiao'an was hesitating whether to open the door and go in immediately when Mu Yin's call came in.
"The president wants to catch me up in the evening. I won't go back to have dinner. I just stopped by the supermarket. The refrigerator is full. You don't have to squeeze it again after get off work."
In the morning, she asked Mu Yin what he likes to eat, and said that she would go shopping after get off work, because she didn't want to take advantage of Mu Yin, and he refused to accept the money, so she had to pay the rent in other ways, but she didn't expect that Mu Yin would pay the rent again. preemptive.But at this moment, she was so uncomfortable that she didn't even have the energy to say polite words, she just wanted to hang up the phone after saying "um".
"Are you uncomfortable?" Mu Yin finally heard something strange.
"It's okay, I'm busy." She forced herself to reply.
As soon as Mu Yin hung up the phone, Mu Yan called in. She smiled and asked showing off, "I'm not wrong, is my brother a nice person? He just called to ask me Is there any taboo, he is so annoying even going to the supermarket, he will open a list and send someone to buy what he needs, when did he buy groceries? Hurry up and say you are very touched!"
"Mom, will the godmother really want to be Tangtang's little aunt in the future?" Li Yijiang and Mu Yan's eldest daughter asked childishly from the side.
"Hush, the godmother will get angry and run away!" Mu Yan hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth, and said to Jiang Qiao'an with a laugh, "What about children, hahaha."
Jiang Qiaoan suddenly felt her eye sockets swell. Of course she is happy that her best friend can have so much happiness, but the contrast is too strong, and occasionally she will inevitably feel sad, just like whenever she hears Mu Yan say, "It's freezing outside." , the family is very happy when drinking tea, eating cakes and chatting around the warm fireplace, so I like "deep winter" always very sad.
She finally couldn't hold back anymore, went to a corner where no one was around, and wept over the phone. From Shi Mochi's girlfriend, to the unbearable pain, to being criticized behind her back by her colleagues... Fortunately, even if she has no family, even if she loses her love, There is also a friend who grew up with you to confide in.
Who says tears are not a good thing?After crying for a while, the depression in his heart melted away a bit. Jiang Qiaoan hung up the phone and went to the bathroom to wash his face and touch up his makeup. As soon as he got back to his desk, a text message came into his phone - wait for me in the office, and he will be there in 10 minutes , Muin.
Jiang Qiaoan was stunned for a moment and then understood that it was Mu Yan's kindness, but let alone Mu Yin had other entertainment, even if she didn't, according to her personality, she would not bother others with such trivial matters, so she replied without thinking No, thanks.
Mu Yin didn't come back, she knew that he must have been forced by his sister to be polite, so she didn't care, took the pills and water cup, got up and walked to the tea room.
Colleagues were not sure whether Jiang Qiaoan had heard the previous discussion, and while feeling guilty, they greeted her with extra enthusiasm while observing her reaction.
She didn't expect too much from the friendship among her colleagues. If she is not considered a friend, she can't talk about harm. She also understands that breaking faces will only affect her work without any benefit, so she treats her as usual calmly, and her colleagues Feeling relieved, she came over to ask for warmth as if to compensate, and even grabbed the cup to fetch hot water for her.
Taking the pills will not have an immediate effect, so Jiang Qiaoan had to stay in the office drinking hot water to wait for the pain to disappear, and was flipping through magazines of related industries when he heard someone knocking on the door and saying, "Designer Jiang, someone is looking for you. "
Seeing Mu Yin, she was naturally surprised. Before she could speak, she heard him say: "When I went out in the morning, I told you not to wear so little clothes."
Just as he was surprised, he had already approached, holding a man's coat in his hand, leaning down and asking softly: "Is it better, can we go now?"
Meeting Mu Yin's eyes, Jiang Qiaoan immediately nodded knowingly, put on his bag and said goodbye to his colleagues.
Accurately judging the other party's purchasing ability, class, occupation, and even personality from clothing, leather shoes, accessories, and behavior in the shortest time is the most basic ability in their business. The "boyfriend" is a second-generation ancestor who has an extraordinary background and is not idle.
Amidst all kinds of surprised or envious eyes, Jiang Qiaoan laughed at himself for being so childish for not being a little girl anymore, while enjoying the vanity of this moment.
As soon as she walked out of the company, she apologized and urged: "I'm so sorry, Mu Yan asked you to come here, you go and get busy with business, I will drive back by myself."
Mu Yin put the coat he brought on her body and confiscated the key in her hand: "The dinner is cancelled, I can't go into your cloakroom, so I have to bring my own, don't drive your car, I will also leave tomorrow morning." If you want to go to work, I can drop you off."
"Didn't you say that the president wants to welcome you, how can you not go?"
"The president is a good friend of my father. He watched me grow up and wouldn't mind such small things." Seeing that Jiang Qiao'an was still feeling sorry, he smiled brightly again, "I'm not for you, I don't want to be called a A bald man with a beer belly, so I came here to clarify."
She first wanted to laugh and then felt a little embarrassed: "Mu Yan is really, why did I even tell you this."
Mu Yin opened the car door for her, and after returning to the driver's seat, he took a piece of chocolate from the refrigerator on the right hand and handed it over: "My sister has been eating chocolate non-stop under the pretext that it can improve her mood, and stuffed it everywhere. , In fact, there is no time when she is unhappy."
Seeing that it was indeed Mu Yan's favorite brand, Jiang Qiaoan smiled while peeling off the tin foil: "That's why she can't lose weight."
The warm air from the air conditioner, the soft and soothing music, and the strange but reassuring smell on Mu Yin's coat quickly made her feel sleepy, but before she fell asleep, she heard him ask: "What's wrong with you? Don't you want to go to the hospital first?"
"No, it's an old problem."
"Stomach pain can be big or small, it's better to go for a checkup."
"It's not sick, it will recover naturally in a few days."
Mu Yin has been in the army since he was 17, and he didn't change jobs until recently. He doesn't act like a playboy at all. The only girl he has ever met is Zhou Wanyi, except his cousin Mu Yan, so when he understands Jiang Qiaoan's meaning, he is immediately embarrassed Incessantly, I had to cough lightly as a cover.
If she hadn't seen Mu Yin blushing with her own eyes, she would never have believed that there are such simple men in this world. She couldn't help but want to laugh and was afraid that he would be more embarrassed. Wiping a smile made Jiang Qiaoan feel dazed for a while, and even she herself couldn't remember how long it had been since the corners of her mouth rose from the heart.
Back home, Jiang Qiaoan didn't even have the energy to take a shower, so he went back to the bedroom directly. Although he took the medicine, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his lower abdomen, so he had to curl up and wrap himself in a quilt.Lying on the bed, he did not feel sleepy, and was about to get up to work when he heard Mu Yin knocking on the door gently.
The roommate was a man, so naturally he couldn't wear his pajamas out of the bedroom, and the heater was fully turned on, so she just picked up a loose cashmere shirt and put it on, changed into a pair of comfortable cotton pants, and went out.
"I took half a bucket of hot water for you. Soak your feet in it to see if it will heal faster. The unit I stayed in used to conduct exercises for more than half of the year, and the conditions outside were worse, comrades-in-arms When I have a stomachache, I just soak it in hot water, and it will usually get better soon, um... Although the reasons are different, it should be helpful."
Jiang Qiaoan knew that he meant well, so naturally she would not refuse. The water temperature was a bit high, and she dared to put her feet in after waiting for a while. As soon as the hot water reached her calves, the warm current swept her body from bottom to top, and the warmth after the cold It made her nose sore again, and she lowered her head in front of Mu Yin because she didn't want to lose face. After a while, she said, "It's really useful, thank you."
"We live close to each other, and we should help each other, and I haven't thanked you for what happened back then." Mu Yin pretended not to see her reddish eyes, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You should smile more, otherwise It can give people the illusion of being difficult.”
Jiang Qiaoan suddenly raised his head and gave him a big smile back: "If you laugh at everyone like this, they must think I'm an idiot."
Mu Yin also laughed: "Isn't it just that my ex-boyfriend has a new love? What a big deal. If Zhou Wanyi wants to get married, I won't be the same as before."
Her mood became depressed again: "I'm different from Shi Mochi. I was the one who insisted on breaking up with him back then, but now I can't see it... Isn't it funny."
"...Why do you have to break up?"
Jiang Qiaoan was silent for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I didn't understand the word 'overwhelming water'."
She tied her ponytail casually, revealing a beautiful neck, especially white and slender. Mu Yin inadvertently caught a glimpse of the thin golden chain on her neck, only a small and delicate engraved cleat hung on it, hidden in the collarbone. Under the shadow, his breathing stagnated inexplicably.
It was only six o'clock when Jiang Qiaoan woke up, it was winter, the sky had already completely darkened, and there was a light rain outside, and the windows were hazy and connected with fog.She adjusted the sofa back to its original angle, and took off the thin blanket that she didn't know when she was covering her body - she was watching an old movie to find inspiration, but she fell asleep unconsciously.
The living room has not turned on the lights, and the TV has been turned off, only a gleam of warm light leaks through the translucent glass on the study door.
Xu Shi heard the movement outside, and Mu Yin pushed open the door and came out: "Are you hungry, let's go out to eat together?"
"It's raining, and the outdoor temperature must be lower, so let's just eat something at home."
"Aren't you uncomfortable? I'm not very good at cooking. If you're afraid of the cold, I'll go out and buy it."
"It's just a minor ailment, and it's not really sick. How can I be so fragile? I happened to catch up with the college entrance examination. I was sweating in pain and finished the exam ahead of time. I heard from Mu Yan that you like fried ribs?" Jiang Qiaoan left Going into the kitchen, she rolled up her sleeves and opened the refrigerator. She has always understood that no one is born to be nice to herself, so if someone helped her one point, she must pay back two points to feel at ease.
Mu Yin was a little surprised when she was used to the squeamish younger sister and Zhou Wanyi who often complained that she was not careful and romantic enough: "I'll help you prepare together."
Whether it is vegetables or fruits, he will only buy big and brightly colored ones. Cucumbers have no moisture, green vegetables are old and dry, grapefruits are of the wrong variety, and black grapes are not fresh enough. After checking what he bought, Jiang Qiaoan had to say tactfully : "Well... In fact, shopping, cooking, washing dishes and cleaning are very simple. I am more used to coming alone. If you don't help, maybe I can save more time."
Mu Yin was already suffering from these headaches. Although he was embarrassed to leave all the housework to his roommate, he was happy to get out of the misery: "You were just looking for old European and American movies with the aristocratic atmosphere of the court, so I will find a few for you to download to mobile in the hard drive."
In less than half an hour, Jiang Qiaoan came out with three dishes and one soup. The main food was egg pumpkin shredded pancakes fried in vegetable oil and quick-frozen shrimp spring rolls bought by Mu Yin.
Mu Yin doesn't like vegetarian dishes, so he naturally ate the fried pork ribs specially made for him first, and found that the taste was mediocre, then he tasted celery and cashew nuts, and a piece of rouge drunken lotus root. The vegetarian dishes taste the same as yours, and my grandma doesn't have to nudge me about picky eaters every day."
Jiang Qiaoan smiled, and seeing that Mu Yin didn't move the ribs anymore, he asked, "Fried ribs are terrible? I went to learn cooking before, but I only learned vegetarian dishes and soups. Except for steamed fish, other meats Not very good at it.”
"It turns out that there are still people interested in cooking."
In fact, she doesn't love the kitchen. If it weren't for Mu Yan or Mu Yin, she would have cooked a bowl of purple sweet potato porridge or gnawed a root of corn for dinner. The reason why she worked hard to cook was to please Shi Mochi.
Shi Mochi is a rare vegetarian among men. He likes food with a light and single taste. Except for vegetables and fruits, he almost does not touch red meat at all, and only occasionally eats sashimi and steamed fish.Vegetarian dishes and steamed fish really test one's culinary skills. In order to please him, she, who doesn't like oily smoke the least, specially signed up for a training class. It's just that Shi Mochi is too picky about food, so she practiced very hard to do it. He still hates the food, not only jokes that she is a pig who can eat everything, but also keeps complaining that his grandma's cooking is considered real food.
Thinking of the past, she suddenly lost her appetite, hurriedly finished the soup in the bowl, and went to the kitchen to peel and remove the seeds from the bunch of black grapes that could no longer be stored, and mixed them with brown sugar and nuts into yogurt for dessert.
Because she didn't want this matter to bother her for a longer period of time, these days Jiang Qiao'an was looking up information and watching movies almost without sleep, and finally finished the first draft in only half the time. She didn't want to go to Shi Mochi's apartment, but I called his office several times to make an appointment, but was told that "Vice President Shi is not in the company" - there was no personal phone number on the back of the business card, only the address of the apartment written by hand.
On Saturday night, Jiang Qiaoan received a call from Shi Mochi's secretary, asking her to take the design drawings to Shi Mochi's apartment the next morning. After hesitating all night, she finally rang his door early on the weekend. Door.
Shi Mochi should have just gotten up - his hair is still wet, and his pajama pants have not been changed.
"Miss Jiang wants to ask me something?"
There was a strong nasal sound in his voice, and Jiang Qiaoan understood why he didn't go to the company. He was taken care of by his mother since he was a child, and he was so picky about food that he didn't have a mouthful. He would rather be hungry. Caught a cold until I met her later.
"The blueprint is out, I'll show it to you." Glancing at the wine bottle on the coffee table, she still couldn't hold back, "Why are you still drinking when you have a cold?"
"The assistant in charge of purchasing daily necessities has asked for leave, and there is no drinking water at home." After answering, he thought of sarcasm, "Miss Jiang's service attitude is really good, she cares about customers so much."
Jiang Qiaoan knew that Mo Chi's daily chores had nothing to do with him, and his girlfriend would naturally take care of him, so he suppressed the ridiculous thought in his heart, opened the notebook directly, and showed him the design for review.
Shi Mochi only glanced at it: "It's too simple, not valuable enough, and I can't take it out."
"Looking at the crown alone, it may be a bit simple, but the jewelry is to make the wearer more beautiful. The most important thing is to be simple and in line with the other party's temperament. It is like a diamond that will appear brighter if the surrounding light is dimmed. If it is too If it is too gorgeous and complicated, it will overwhelm the guests and distract the attention of others from the wearer. Of course, it is another matter if it is just a display that is used for collection and not for wearing.”
"Find a way to balance, the person I want to send is very important." Catching the emotion on Jiang Qiao'an's face that has not yet been concealed in the future, Shi Mochi asked with a half-smile, "Why, do I value others?" Do you have any objections to the woman?"
"Where, it's just a pity that Mr. Shi was not satisfied. I will change the picture as soon as possible. Excuse me."
Jiang Qiaoan was about to get up to say goodbye, when suddenly there was a ball of hair on her feet, she recognized at a glance that it was the rabbit that she raised with Shi Mochi back then, so she was naturally very surprised.
This rabbit was originally given to Mu Yan by Li Yijiang. After Mu Yan's 3-minute enthusiasm passed, Jiang Qiaoan praised it for its cuteness, so he simply gave it to her.Not only is it clingy and jealous, it is also the best at escaping from the cage. It always runs over when she and Shi Mochi are working and stomps on the materials that occupy their attention. Shi Mochi has a bad temper. He clamored to beat it more than once, if she hadn't stopped him, he would have thrown it out long ago.
Unexpectedly, the rabbit's lifespan is so short, and Shi Mochi can keep it until now.
She touched the rabbit's ears and leaned over to hug it: "If you find it troublesome to take care of it, I can take it back and raise it."
When Mo Chi was about to speak, a text message came into Jiang Qiaoan's cell phone. It was Mu Yin who was on a business trip in a neighboring city the day before——I arrived home at 09:30. Have you woken up yet? I know there is a place that serves a good breakfast. Let's go together if you haven't eaten yet.
"Take it back to your and other people's place?" He was tall, and he could clearly see the content above with a slight tilt of his head. Before Jiang Qiaoan could answer, he picked up the rabbit impatiently and threw it back into the cage.
When he sat back on the sofa, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The 300 million my mother gave you was used up, so you found that kid from the Mu family again?"
"How did you know..." Jiang Qiaoan was surprised, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Although the Mu family has a big business, all the shares are in the hands of Mu Cheng. Although the so-called third young master of the Mu family is stronger than Mu Wei, who has no status, they only have a few more properties. In fact, they don't have much money. You Tell him to break up and move out, and I will give you 200 million immediately."
Hearing the last sentence of humiliation, she finally calmed down and tried her best to pretend nothing had happened: "I didn't know until today that you are such a naive person."
Jiang Qiaoan closed the notebook and got up to leave, but Shi Mochi grabbed her arm and dragged her back to the sofa: "That's too little, so 250 million?"
"Crazy, let go!" Jiang Qiaoan tried hard to break free from him, but he got tighter and tighter.
The more Jiang Qiaoan struggled, the more hatred he felt. He simply grabbed her chin and forced her into his eyes: "250 million and still refuse to break up? How long have you guys known each other? Don't tell me you are sincere." It's impossible for me to pay 300 million, because I don't think that kid is worth more than me."
There was a sudden knock at the door, seeing the incomparably ambiguous postures of the two people on the sofa, Yang Jinghan was so surprised that he couldn't speak coherently: "I, I... You have ignored me recently, so you called Yong Ge and Ouyang Yang, knowing that you have a headache I have been at home these days, so I asked your assistant for the key to deliver medicine and food..."
Jiang Qiaoan was very embarrassed, but Shi Mochi had a look of peace of mind: "Thank you, let's put the things on the table."
After seeing that the other person was Designer Jiang, Yang Jinghan's embarrassment and sadness turned into anger, and he rushed over to Shi Mochi and got angry: "Why are you with her? I gave you a gift, but you fell in love with her?" The person I found as a gift! No wonder my aunt reminded me that something is wrong with you recently, maybe you have a girlfriend, let me pay attention, I didn't believe it at first, this is too ironic, what is the relationship between you?"
"I want to marry her." Shi Mochi stretched out his arms to embrace Jiang Qiaoan, looking at her with gentle eyes.
Jiang Qiaoan was surprised at first, but then understood after a while, and did not refute.
"You are really capable, just wait for me!" She gave Jiang Qiaoan a look, and slammed the door out.
As soon as Yang Jinghan left, Shi Mochi resumed his previous expression, and let go of Jiang Qiaoan's hand.
"She asked your assistant for the key, so you knew she was coming, and the secretary asked me to come up with you in this play. Your mother wants you to be with her, and you don't know how to say no, don't want No matter how entangled she is, she is afraid that she will find trouble with your girlfriend, so she borrowed me as a shield." When Mo Chi stopped talking, he just looked at her calmly, and after a few seconds of pause, Jiang Qiaoan smiled, "Before I met you again, I really didn't know that just four years would turn a person into this. I am not angry or blame you. Who made me owe you back then."
"I didn't know she would come. It's not the so-called time that made me like this, but you." He finally said it, but she had already left.
As soon as he walked out of Shi Mochi's apartment, Jiang Qiaoan took out his mobile phone. Although he tried his best to control it, his fingers still trembled uncontrollably, but he dialed the same number more than a dozen times, and he still got the sentence "Sorry, you dialed The number is temporarily unavailable"...
