There is another event approaching the Spring Festival, which is the wedding of Song Yan and Wang Qianning.
The wedding was scheduled at this time, and I also wanted to enjoy the joy of the Spring Festival.
When there was still a week before the wedding, Wang Qianning probably asked Shen Li for Jiang Nan's phone number, called her and asked her to accompany him to try on the wedding dress.
Jiang Nan felt a little strange. She and Wang Qianning had only met once, and with Song Yan's relationship, this call should not be made to her.
Jiang Nan was afraid that this rejection would freeze the relationship. She was even more afraid that her mother would be unhappy, so she went there with hesitation in her heart.
When she arrived, Wang Qianning was sitting on the sofa before the audition. Next to her was a brown kraft paper bag with a wedding dress in it.
Have you already paid for it?
Jiang Nan walked over, and Wang Qianning raised her hand happily: "Jiang Nan."
"Have you...already picked it?" Jiang Nan sat down next to her and couldn't help but say.
"Yeah, wedding dresses are too expensive now. It costs more than 700 yuan to rent them for two days. It's not worth it at all." Wang Qianning complained to her in a low voice.
Jiang Nan was a little confused now as to why she called him here.
"Then you came to me...to ask me to do something else?"
Wang Qianning's eyes became a little brighter, and she approached her and said, "That's it, I want you to be my bridesmaid."
Jiang Nan opened his eyes slightly and didn't know what to say. He could only say weakly: "Me? I'm afraid I can't do it."
She couldn't understand why Wang Qianning asked her to be the bridesmaid. They were not familiar with each other. Didn't they always ask their good friends to do this kind of thing?
"Why can't you? Aren't you and that Mr. Zhou not married yet?" Wang Qianning said, but she didn't notice the worry flashing in Jiang Nan's eyes.
Shen Li has not been told about Jiang Nan and Zhou Zheng'an's marriage, so in their eyes, Jiang Nan and Zhou Zheng'an have always been just boyfriend and girlfriend.
This is also what Jiang Nan is most worried about. As a married woman, she cannot be Wang Qianning's bridesmaid.
"I have discussed this matter with Aunt Shen and Uncle Song, and they all agreed. Anyway, your marriage to Mr. Zhou is probably going to be soon. If you serve as a bridesmaid for me, I can also help you with my marriage. Flowers for you.
You must make it clear when you treat men, otherwise they will not take the initiative to propose marriage. We girls must not let them take advantage of us. "Wang Qianning said seriously.
Jiang Nan's face was expressionless, and he didn't say whether he would answer her or not.
...
After having a simple meal with Wang Qianning in the mall, the two parted ways.
Jiang Nan got into the taxi and was distracted all the way. It wasn't until the car stopped and the taxi driver called her a few times that Jiang Nan realized what she was doing and hurriedly paid and got out of the car.
She stood at the gate and was about to walk towards the apartment building where she lived when someone stopped her.
"Nannan."
The caller's voice was a little urgent.
Jiang Nan froze, this voice was all too familiar to her.
She suppressed her breath and turned around. The person running towards her was none other than Jiang Feng.
He smelled of alcohol and was in a mess.
Jiang Nan's eyes were wary and he said nothing.
Jiang Feng seemed to be completely unaware and said with a smile: "Where have you been? I went to your residence and knocked on the door, but no one opened the door. I thought I would wait for you. Your community security guard will not let strangers mess around in the community." Go shopping, last time I met you as soon as I entered, but this time I wasn't so lucky, so I had to come to the gate."
"Did you knock on the door?" Jiang Nan's heart tightened. She couldn't imagine what would happen if Jiang Feng happened to run into Zhou Zhengan.
She was afraid that Jiang Feng would entangle Zhou Zhengan, and she was also afraid that her affairs would disturb Zhou Zhengan's life.
Jiang Feng's matter would only be a suffocating cycle. She didn't want to involve anyone else, even though she knew Zhou Zheng'an would definitely help her with his temperament.
"What are you afraid of at your daughter's door?" Jiang Feng said.
Jiang Nan calmed down his expression and said as calmly as possible: "You came to me, what's the matter?"
Jiang Feng looked a little embarrassed: "I lost some money recently, and I want to ask you...to get back the money I gave you before." As if he was afraid that Jiang Nan wouldn't give it, he finished these words Then he said hurriedly: "Nannan, don't worry, as long as I win money, I will definitely give it to you again."
Jiang Nan frowned. The money Jiang Feng gave her had already been given to Shen Li and was not with her.
There was no way she could let Jiang Feng disturb Shen Li.
Jiang Nan was silent for a while, then took out another card from his bag and handed it to him. Jiang Feng took it and looked at it carefully. Before he could say anything, Jiang Nan said, "I'll withdraw the money from that card." It’s all the same when it comes out and is stored in this card.”
The card she gave Jiang Feng contained some of her savings over the years. Jiang Nan still made a lot of money during the years when she was a translator, but later she used up a lot of it when her life was unsatisfactory, and now she still has around 400,000 left. .
Part of it was now given to Jiang Feng by her.
"Nan Nan, can daddy ask you one more thing?"
Jiang Nan looked at him and felt very frightened.
Jiang Feng said: "I haven't repaid my debt. Now I'm being chased everywhere. I have no place to go. Can I stay with you for a while?"
Jiang Nan felt cold in his heart.
"I'm living in a shared apartment now. The landlord said we can't have more people, otherwise we won't be able to live in the house. The card I gave you has 250,000 yuan. You can just use it. Don't come here to see me again. I'm afraid of being arrested." The landlord saw it." She lied.
"Also, I haven't been able to find a better job since I was transferred from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I have to live in housing in Beijing and Xinjiang. I don't have much money anymore. What I gave you is all my money. If you continue I owe money and I don’t have any money.”
She finished speaking in one breath. Jiang Nan knew very well what Jiang Feng was like.
When Jiang Feng heard that there was an extra 50,000 yuan in the card, there was a smile in his eyes. He didn't even listen to Jiang Nan's words, so he would care about anything else. This was already an unexpected surprise. He laughed. Said: "I didn't expect that such a good location can be rented together. No wonder. Don't worry, dad will never delay you."
He has the appearance of a gambler.
Jiang Nan turned away.
"Then you go back, I'm going back too." Jiang Nan said. She turned around and walked towards the apartment building. Her steps were extremely heavy, as if her feet were tied with stones every step of the way.
It is difficult to move even an inch.
...
Jiang Nan also had to face another person, Shen Li.
As soon as Jiang Nan declined Wang Qianning's bridesmaid invitation, Shen Li called her and asked her why?
"It won't do you any harm to have a good relationship with Qian Ning. Song Yan has a lot of opinions about you. If Qian Ning can say more good things about you in front of him, our family will be able to unite well. You are so stupid. Why can't you understand these things? You..."
Jiang Nan interrupted her: "I got the certificate, and Zhou Zhengan."
She had thought about it when she rejected Wang Qianning. There was no point in hiding it anymore, so she might as well confess it.
Shen Li was silent for a while before a voice came, a little deep: "When did it happen?"
"A few months ago." Jiang Nan said honestly.
"Jiang Nan, are you really brave now? You don't have to tell your family about things like getting married? You are so awesome."
"Let me ask you, did he tell us how much gift he gave our family? What about the wedding? When are his parents going to meet us? Has he discussed these things with you?" Shen Li's words were very sharp. It seems that He was extremely angry.
Jiang Nan didn't know how to tell her, so she could only say: "We are still discussing."
"Discuss? Don't you know you were deceived? Otherwise, you can get the certificate in a hurry?"
"Mom." Jiang Nan really couldn't hear what she said, so he said in a serious tone: "I'm discussing with him. Don't worry, I know my own affairs well."
Shen Li didn't speak for a long time, and gradually calmed down, and then said: "Let me know after we have discussed it, and I will find a way to explain it to Qian Ning. The marriage must be hidden from you, Uncle Song, until after the Spring Festival at most." , you have to give me the result."
"Mom, I'm sorry." Jiang Nan said softly, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
She knows she sucks and handles things badly.
"..."
When Song Yan and Wang Qianning's wedding was held, Jiang Nan and Shen Li sat at the family table together.
She dressed very elegantly and spoke very little, so none of the relatives from the Song family paid much attention to her.
On the contrary, Shen Li had a lively chat with these relatives whom he didn't know very well.
Jiang Nan didn't tell Zhou Zhengan about attending their wedding, and she didn't want Zhou Zhengan to come.
Shen Li rarely said anything about this.
Zhou Zhengan has been very busy these days. He went on a business trip before the holiday and only came back after three or four days.
When he came back, the potted plants planted by Jiang Nan had already sprouted buds. They were small and green and could be broken with just a slight bend.
He found that Jiang Nan was extremely patient and interested in these things. When the buds bloomed, she was extremely happy, as if she had accomplished something big.
"It seems that spring is really coming." Zhou Zhengan said calmly from the side.
Jiang Nan gently stroked the leaves of the buds and looked back at him with smiles in her eyes.
Zhou Zhengan curled his lips slightly, turned around and left.
During the meal, Zhou Zhengan mentioned that he wanted to take Jiang Nan to Shen Qingfeng's villa for the festival. Jiang Nan agreed very readily. Zhou Zhengan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought that with a personality like Jiang Nan's, he would have to hesitate. It took a while before he agreed.
After all, it had been a long time since the last time he had dinner with Shen Qingfeng and the others. He estimated that Jiang Nan had forgotten about going to the villa, so he mentioned it to her again.
Seeing how readily she agreed, Zhou Zhengan was inexplicably amused by her.
Jiang Nan actually still remembered that she was very happy that Zhou Zhengan was willing to take her with him.
As for what things and people you will encounter there, that is all a matter for later.
...
It was colder on the mountain than at the bottom. Jiang Nan had prepared a lot of thick clothes. Zhou Zhengan kindly gave her half of the space in his suitcase to put her clothes.
It would take several days to go to the villa, so before leaving, Zhou Zhengan and Jiang Nan went to Zhou's house and had a meal before going up the mountain.
When they set foot on the mountain road, it was completely dark.
There were no street lights on the mountain road, and the surroundings were pitch black. Fortunately, the road was specially repaired and was very flat, making it out of danger.
