"It's quite hot. This is the mint grown in the yard. It's good for making tea. Do you want to try it?"
The two sat down and put the chubby glass on the coffee table. The tender mint leaves undulated slightly with the water waves, and a cool feeling instantly appeared on the tip of their noses. It looked, smelled, and tasted good.
"Thank you, it's really good."
He said yes, but he picked it up, touched his lips and put it down.
He is indeed an extremely picky person.
Ni Bingyan looked at Jiang Sheng, but Jiang Sheng was looking around.
The house is not big, and the log furniture is quite old at first glance.
The general layout has not been changed, but the details have been carefully arranged.
Compared with his large European-style luxury villa that is managed by a dedicated person, this place is warmer and more private.
Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the red brick vegetable pond in the backyard.
The red bricks are built relatively high, so the soil inside will not easily fall onto the stone pavement outside, making it look clean and tidy.
There are dead eggplant poles, pepper branches and the like piled in the corner, and workers are pushing carts to carry them out.
The walls of the courtyard are covered with roses. The flowers have faded a long time ago. The red fruits are crowded together and the bunches are very cute. I think it must be very beautiful in the full bloom period.
A circle of fragrant herbs such as mint and rosemary were planted next to the courtyard wall, which are useful in daily life and can repel mosquitoes.
The original owner was very interesting in life and the house was well maintained. I thought it would be very comfortable to live here.
Based on her preferences, it is normal for her to buy such a house.
Suddenly, a question came to his mind.
He likes Western steaks and coffee, she likes Chinese food and tea; he likes luxury and grandeur, she likes elegance and fun; he pursues money and fame, but she has always taken these very lightly...
So during the three years she was with him, she made do with everything, was she really happy?
It turns out that he knows this girl better than he thought.
After a while, those who finished their work in the front yard moved to the back yard.
Nutrient soil and saplings were brought in one after another and placed on the floor next to the entrance of the courtyard.
They dug holes and planted trees. For a while, the backyard was in full swing.
Jiang Sheng wanted to say a few private words, but even though they were far apart through the glass, he still couldn't say it.
Ni Bingyan smiled, pointed to the land outside, and told him how he had just moved there:
"I don't have anything unusual here. I planted two ridges of ginger there before. I dug them up and soaked them all. Now I can eat them. They are tender and crispy. Whether they are eaten with porridge or used in cooking. , are all excellent, I will give you a jar later.
"There are a lot of pickled peppers, but it's a pity that you don't like spicy food, so I'll keep them for myself!
"I remember you like pickled cucumbers that are less sweet, so I can give you a jar.
"There were a lot of tomatoes before. I boiled two cans of tomato sauce and brought them with me when I joined the team. My colleagues snatched them all up. They all praised my cooking skills, haha~"
She tried to lighten the mood, but there were always issues between them that needed to be resolved.
His time was precious, so it was very thoughtful of him to go all the way here, and he didn't want to waste too much time.
"So, what are you angry about this time?"
He looked into her eyes seriously and struck a chord.
"I was busy with a project and just took some time out."
Seeing that the smile on Ni Bingyan's face quickly faded, he hurriedly explained.
Now, you should be satisfied, right? he thinks.
So that's why he came to see someone now?
It's been half a month since a living member of the family disappeared, but you haven't thought about asking?
Aunt Li watched her go, and her itinerary was very transparent. With his connections, it would not take him ten minutes to find her.
But there was no need for her to be angry with him. Since she had no love for him, she naturally had no hatred.
Even for the sake of those jewelry bags and house, she could still smile brightly at him.
"Okay, why should I be angry?"
Her smile appeared again, sweet.
She said: "Twelve o'clock is coming soon, of course Cinderella must leave, otherwise the gorgeous clothes and carriage will show their true colors, how embarrassing it would be!"
Is this because he knows Bai Jian is back and is afraid that he will abandon her because of Bai Jian?
To save face, I put it very tactfully.
Jiang Sheng found it a bit funny.
Britain was not far away. If he really wanted to do something with Bai Jian, he would have taken action long ago. She went to school, not to jail.
What's more, even if you're in jail, you can still visit him!
The eldest brother said a few days ago that their family is now working closely with the Bai family. If the two families get married, it will definitely be of great benefit to the family business. If his nephew was not still young, he would not have to bear this responsibility.
Bai Jian is not only a good match, but also talented and good-looking. She can afford to support her family, and she can also be taken out to socialize!
What's more, they had a relationship when they were young, and they had some emotional basis.
Bai Jian has already agreed to this.
It was undeniable that he had indeed been thinking about it recently.
But these horoscopes haven’t even been written yet! What's the fuss about?
Isn't it good to think about things all day long and live a steady life like before?
"Who came here to tell you something again?"
He knew all the monsters and demons surrounding him, and he didn't care about them on weekdays, just because he didn't care. As long as he paid attention, he could guess right without being present.
"Those things are in the past, and they are no longer important to me now."
Ni Bingyan smiled and looked quite open-minded.
I took a screenshot of it specially before, hoping to clean up the Bichi and vent the evil for the original owner, but after thinking about it, it was really unnecessary.
We should stay away from these people. What’s the point of getting entangled with them except delaying our self-improvement?
After saying this, Ni Bingyan picked up the mint water and drank half the glass in one go before his mood calmed down.
What happened is over. The original owner was willing to do it. She got so many things from Jiang Sheng in vain, and she really had no position to fight for her injustice.
But I felt really depressed and really didn't want to see him again.
Now she just wants to break up with him cleanly and clearly without offending him.
"So, what do you want to do when you come here today? Is the prince picking up the lost glass slipper and trying to find his Cinderella?"
The smile on her face was like a mask, and she looked at Jiang Sheng with her beautiful eyes. She said nothing, but her eyes seemed to say everything.
She said that the prince was looking for his Cinderella everywhere in order to marry her. What is going on with you?
She said, do you want to take me back? And in what name?
She said, you are such a good girl, why should I follow you so unclearly?
When he came today, he originally wanted to ask her why she left without even saying hello. Seeing these eyes, he realized that he didn't need to ask anymore.
She is not losing her temper, she really wants to leave her.
It's not because anyone made her unhappy, she just grew up and began to understand that love is not everything in life.
She began to realize that her own home was the most comfortable place to live in, and her own food was the most delicious when she ate it.
Because she found that he could not be her reliance, and it was best to survive on her own.
The two of them didn't sign a contract, and they never had a romantic alliance. There was no bond of red books, and there was no crystallization of love. Isn't breaking up just a matter of moving?
Things between two people cannot always be decided by him alone.
She didn't want him anymore, so she got rid of him clearly and simply.
In Jiang Sheng's life, this was the first time that he felt a head-on blow from life.
Isn't it good to be polite and maintain adult decency?
Seeing her frown, he immediately understood what she meant.
He's just not used to it.
Why did the girl who used to be gentle and considerate suddenly become so sharp?
It felt like his little fairy was missing. The one talking to him now was a chili pepper, the kind that grows at the junction of yin and yang.
Look, just a few words made him so angry that he blushed and couldn't even open his mouth.
"So, goodbye Jiang Sheng, let's say goodbye here and never see each other again."
Ni Bingyan's voice was hoarse and his eyes were red.
It was quite difficult for her to say this in person.
It wasn't that she couldn't bear to part with this man who had nothing to do with her, but that she felt sorry for the original owner.
The things that the original owner had done for this man in her memory kept coming to mind after he appeared, and she felt sorry for her, very much.
How many sweet and painful nights it was!
A girl in her early twenties, as fresh as a flower, clings to a love that is out of reach, and is in a dilemma.
She wished she could beat him up, but she also knew that the silly girl would be reluctant to let him go. This man didn't make such a serious mistake, so it really wasn't like that.
"You may not know that my father cooks very well, and my family is not poor either."
So I don’t lack your food, nor the clothes and jewelry you bought for me.
Being with you is not about looking for that apartment, or expecting you to give me some good resources.
If she was really that ambitious, based on her foundation of starting to act in movies during her sophomore year, she would be better off just being a gangster than she is now.
In the past, she had bound herself for love, preferring to go in one direction and ask for the slightest possibility of being together for the rest of her life, but now she is no longer willing.
The original owner was not clear-headed, but she was different. She was a walking, sober person.
She also has a father now.
Dad held her in the palm of his hand and raised her like a jewel, not just to let her abuse him like that.
The original owner thought this man was more important than her father, but she didn't think so.
Seeing her tears falling one by one, Jiang Sheng suddenly became restless.
He always thought that he was very kind to her, but he didn't expect that she would have so much resentment in her heart?
She wanted to marry him.
He knows it all.
But he never thought of this possibility.
Whether it was his knowledge or family tradition, they all told him that such a girl was not suitable to be his wife.
Quite confused for a while.
Go back to Jiang Sheng, just like that, Jiang Sheng, he thought in his mind.
But there were different voices in his heart, making him unable to stand up or move his legs.
His intuition told him that if he left like this, he would regret it.
