Smacking her lips lightly, Nan Lianxue looked around, took a few cubes of sugar from the small saucer on the table and put them into the cup, stirred it a few times with the small spoon, and then took another sip.
Bitterness with a hint of sweetness.
"Hmm..." Nan Lianxue couldn't help being a little stunned, the original bitterness and sweetness blended, forming a unique sense of layering.
puff-
The sugar cube falls into the coffee and gradually dissolves.
On the other side, there was a muffled sound, and Chu Tianling's expression changed just now, his hands suddenly strangled his neck, he knelt down on the ground, and coughed repeatedly:
"Cough-cough-"
Chu Tianling's face looked strange, and the sound of "uh uh" kept coming out of his throat.
The Patriarch of the Chu Family's complexion changed, and he quickly squatted down to help Chu Tianling up.
They were in a mess, while Nan Lianxue and the others just watched quietly.
Nan Ruoshui raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with him?"
"Who knows?"
Nan Lianxue smiled slightly and shrugged.
"You should maintain the most basic ladylike etiquette, my lovely daughters."
Without too much words, Nanmu just compared her index fingers quietly.
The two girls sat obediently in their positions and became quiet in an instant.
Father Su and Father Nan looked at each other, and they saw doubts in each other's eyes. The banquet in the hall did not have any irritating smell, nor pollen or a series of other things that could cause allergies.
——Even if he wanted to avoid this topic, the means were too inferior and outdated.What's more, today I have to discuss this issue with him and even his father alone, and Nan's father has already grasped the final evidence in his hands.
After a while, Chu Tianling stopped coughing, stood up again, and his face softened a little.
His lips moved slightly, his face was very pale.
"Chu Tianling, what is your answer to the question just now?"
He stared at Father Nan, and then at Nan Lianxue. He wanted to stick to his statement: he didn't know, it had nothing to do with him or something.
However, at the moment when his eyes met Nan Lianxue, for some reason, the secrets in his heart wrapped in layers of lies were revealed bit by bit like cocoon peeling off.
He clutched the corners of his clothes with his hands, and there was an idea in his heart telling him: "Speak out, it will be easier to say, because you no longer need to use bigger lies to make up for the loopholes of the previous lies."
— Speak out.
Ah...
"...It's me, I'm looking for someone...cough——" Chu Tianling's face darkened, what a joke, just take one more step forward, and say one more word——
[You can be free, right? 】
At this moment, all of Chu Tianling's psychological defenses had leaks and began to disintegrate.
After a period of time, after waiting for Chu Tianling to tell a little bit about how he worked so hard for this marriage contract, and how he entrusted Li Kexin's mother to find the gangster——
There was a long silence.
The first one to speak was the ashen-faced Patriarch Chu: "Okay...okay, it's really good—you bastard..."
He hates him as a bastard, but also hates him for being foolish and foolish. What's the face of him if he tells such a thing?
But the voice has not yet fallen.
Chu Tianling shook off his father's hand grabbing his collar: "Stinky old man, I know you look down on me the most—"
"you--"
The scene became wild and frantic.
Under Nan's father's signal, the security guards quickly came and dragged Chu Tianling away. Although he was furious, he couldn't beat two [-]-jin burly men.
Muffled groans, falling to the ground, groans of pain.
Sitting here, Nan Ruoshui gently held Nan Lianxue's hand, and then affectionately rubbed Nan Lianxue's cheek: "Lianxue, don't look, let's go find grandpa."
When the two of them were messing with Lily, Chu Tianling had already faded out of their sight, maybe he wouldn't come back again.
Nan Lianxue thought so in her heart.
——In a sense, the lethality of this mantra potion is far greater than its own price.When the fig leaf covering the ugliness is lifted, few people can maintain consistent indifference.
Nan Ruoshui looked at Chu Tianling who was carried away pitifully: "Has he lost his mind?"
"Obviously, sister."
With a shallow smile, Nan Lianxue watched the fading back with calm eyes, ended a bad time, and then started a brand new time.
At least now, she knows that bad time is over.
The banquet is still going on.
Maybe no one will care about the little farce on the second floor.
Inside a small private room.
"Grandpa, you said that you would take us to experience your previous work in a while?" Nan Ruoshui blinked, then shook his head vigorously, looking extremely reluctant: "No, no, no... ...."
"What about Lianxue? Do you want to go and have a look?" Grandpa looked calm, and he had already guessed that Nan Ruoshui was unwilling to go.
- go to work...
"What kind of job is it?" Nan Lianxue asked.
"Approve the company's plan, review the financial...things like that." Nan Ruoshui smacked her lips. She once worked with her father for a day, and then slumped on the sofa when she came home and didn't want to get up.
Even if it's just being my father's assistant, the complexity of the work is overwhelming and boring.
It's just that grandpa smiled mysteriously: "I'm talking about the work I did before your father started his business."
"what......"
Nan Lixue was a little curious.
At this time, Father Nan came in and put the clothes on the chair.
"Dad, don't torment them. If you can't persist, you will probably complain in a day or two."
"Isn't winter vacation coming soon? Even if you don't go to work, it's not bad to go out to play." Grandpa smiled.
Nan Lianxue blinked, and asked in a low voice: "So, the content of the work is...?"
"Westside Ranch."
"..."
Just as Nan Lianxue was about to shake her head, she heard her grandfather continue to say: "The design work of the west ranch and a series of activities such as promotional posters."
"Need to draw?"
"of course."
Nan Lianxue played with her hair in confusion, and asked, "Can grandpa also draw?"
"Haha, Xiao Lianxue, what kind of look is this? Your grandfather was a designer when I was young. At that time, I..."
Grandpa's memories are very old-fashioned, Nan Lianxue was half confused, but there was only one thing she heard very clearly, that is, grandpa could draw, and the standard was not low.
Curious, want to see.
"Lianxue... Do you really want to go? Winter vacation, during the holiday time." Nan Ruoshui pinched her sister's face at the side, obviously it was time for a good night's sleep, so she didn't want to go to work.
"You can call your friends together. There is a big hot spring hotel over there. If you finish this job, in addition to the basic salary, there will be a surprise gift."
Nan Ruoshui only heard a few keywords, gifts, hot springs, and you can bring friends with you—isn’t that similar to traveling?
"Grandpa, what time, Bao called Bao arrived."
"From the day the winter break begins, it lasts for a week."
But Nan Lianxue's focus is obviously a little different: "Will grandpa also design posters?"
"Want to see it?" Grandpa smiled kindly.
"Ah."
Promotional posters, design concepts... What are the special features or skills of this kind of painting work?
Nan Lianxue felt that her painting level had reached a bottleneck.
What... you mean a small book?
The small book also has a limit!
Even if it is a small book... there are levels, painting styles and techniques, and even various factors. Whether it is good or not...
Can't look down on small books. (angry)
Humph.
Chapter 96 Miss Cat (add 1/3)
The piano music in the hall continued.
Nan Lianxue walked down the spiral staircase slowly, and slowly passed through the hall. The faint fragrance was entangled with the mellow aroma of red wine, and the wine cups sang softly. Their banquet had just begun.
But for Nan Lianxue, everything here obviously has nothing to do with her.
"Second Miss, are you leaving now?"
"Well, let's go out for a while."
Because my sister was called by my mother to report on their daily life, so I will be separated from myself for a while.
But at this moment, Nan Lianxue's wrist was grabbed by a girl.
"Miss Nan is leaving now?"
"Can't you?"
"Why don't Miss Nan come and chat with us for a while." The girl in a light white lace dress and holding a folding fan smiled slightly.
She has been paying attention to Nan Lianxue and her sister, but she is actually more interested in Nan Lianxue: she is curious about the mysterious girl, and wants to peel off her mystery layer by layer.
Her happiness is so simple.
Pale golden, cat-like eyes.
Undoubtedly, this young lady has too much meaning in her smiling slightly curved eyes, calm, elegant, and indifferent.
—It’s a cat.
I just don't know what it will look like when a cat blows its hair?
This was Nan Lianxue's first impression of her.
But this cat lady obviously didn't understand the meaning of the corners of Nan Lianxue's eyes, she only thought that Nan Lianxue should be an interesting girl.
"Let's take a random spot and talk about something more interesting."
"..."
Nan Lianxue looked at the cat lady suspiciously, pursed her thin lips, and then retracted her hands silently:
"I'm glad you invited me, but before that..."
Miss Cat was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled softly.
She took a step back, lifted her skirt lightly, and bowed to salute:
"Hello, I am the first heir of the Qian family, Qian Yuqin."
Nan Lianxue politely returned a salute, and then asked softly, "What can you do with me?"
"I just want to chat with Miss Nan about some interesting topics."
"Is that so..."
Nan Lianxue nodded, and followed Qian Yuqin towards the periphery of the banquet.
They sat down at the round table outside the banquet, and Miss Cat reached out to take the red wine handed over by the waiter, and then smiled.
"Miss Lianxue, do you know? In fact, many people want to sit with you and have dinner."
