After Yu Nian dragged his tired body back home, he discovered two things.
The first thing was that Jiang Nianyan replied to Yu Juanzhou and Qiao Min respectively in her name, dispelling their doubts;
The second thing was that she dug out a brocade box in her bag. When she opened it, she was shocked to see that it was the jade bracelet that came with her.
Yu Nian held the jade bracelet and looked at it for a long time. Suddenly he remembered something and grabbed the phone to dial. But then I thought that Jiang Nianyan had fallen asleep, so I thought about it and called Lao Liu.
Lao Liu always had a tight mouth. He only said that he took the table to the hospital as instructed, and he didn't know anything else.
"You'd better ask Master Yan directly about this matter."
Jiang Nianyan must have put it in her bag. What was the purpose?
-
With this question in mind, Yu Nian couldn't sleep well that night. He was obviously very tired, and he thought that he would definitely fall asleep, but his sleep was very light, and he had many bad dreams, one dream after another.
Sometimes it was Jiang Nian's banquet, sometimes it was Jiang Ze's, and he also dreamed of Maura, holding a broken jade bracelet in his hand and asking her, this is something I like, why do you touch it?
Finally, she was so frightened that she opened her eyes and dreamed of Jiang Nian Banquet again. He told her that I decide the rules of the game between you and me, and you have no choice. Yu Nian, you have been wanted to get rid of me all your life.
She saw metal railings all around, and when she took a closer look, she found that Jiang Nianyan was outside the railings. Only then did she realize that she was locked in a cage by Jiang Nianyan...
When Yu Nian gasped and opened his eyes, it was already bright outside the window.
The doorbell and cell phone were ringing.
She hurriedly climbed out of bed, but she was still very tired. When she walked to the entrance, she answered the phone first. It was Qiao Min, asking why she was not at home. At the same time, there was another knock on the door.
Yu Nian asked into the phone, "Are you outside the door?"
"Yes, open the door."
Yu Nian's heart finally dropped as he was frightened by Jiang Ze and suffered from sequelae.
-
"You are really good. You didn't tell me that such a big thing happened."
Qiao Min came with big and small packages, and then heard Yu Nian say such a shocking thing that she almost died of fright.
I was really scared and angry.
Yu Nian was nestled on the sofa, holding a pillow in her arms, "Sister, we haven't met since the accident until now. Didn't I tell you right away?"
Qiao Min thought about it. She was so anxious and angry that she forgot about it.
"No wonder there are rumors in Beijing circles that the Jiang family has banned Jiang Ze."
Yu Nian sneered.
Qiao Min understood the meaning behind her laughter. The anger has subsided, and all we are facing are real problems.
"Use that kind of medicine to harm women, and in the end you will only be punished with grounding. Jiang Nianyan is really a protector. Didn't you hear that he is at odds with his elder brother? This matter is a handle. Jiang Nianyan will not change his hatred. Is the house like a bird?" Qiao Min was angry.
Yu Nian's anger had already passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. The two nights of the Jiang New Year Banquet had completely emptied her body and cleared her turbid mind.
"That kind of medicine will leave no evidence at all after it enters the human body. It is impossible to sue Jiang Ze. The important thing is that he has not succeeded yet. Although Jiang Nianyan is a bastard, he is right about one thing, let alone There is no evidence, and even if there is evidence, he will not just watch something happen to Jiang Ze. It has nothing to do with family ties, he just doesn't want the Jiang family's interests and face to be damaged."
Yu Nian took a deep breath when he said this, and then suppressed the suffocation in his heart. "Maybe the Jiang family thinks that grounding is the biggest punishment for Jiang Ze."
Under power, people are like grass.
Qiao Min thought for a while, "Shouldn't Mrs. Jiang know about this? She wouldn't be able to bear her face if her grandson did such a thing. Maybe she agreed to break off the engagement out of guilt for you."
Yu Nian was always awake and shook his head, "Mrs. Jiang now wishes that I and Jiang Ze would get involved. If she knew about this matter, although she would be angry, she would definitely want to resolve it internally. Instead, she was given a reason not to break off the engagement. reason."
Qiao Min also had a headache.
"Besides..." Yu Nian hesitated, "It would not be good for me if this matter spread. After all, I stayed with Jiang Nianyan these two nights."
Qiao Min sighed heavily, "What does he mean by Jiang Nian Banquet?"
Yu Nian was silent.
How many other meanings can there be?
Just use her as a bed warmer.
She fell into the trap thanks to Jiang Ze, and the last one was Jiang Nian Banquet. It was just jumping from one pit to another. Do you still need her to thank her?
"I knew it wasn't you when I received your message." Qiao Min said truthfully.
"I know I can't hide it from you." Yu Nian sighed softly, "But I'm still curious how you judged it?"
Qiao Min held an apple in her hand and took a fruit knife, "Yu Nian, how many years have I known you? Although we are both texting, I can still feel the difference. What is your tone like? Jiang Nian Banquet What's his tone like? It's definitely different."
Yu Nian was aroused when he heard the words, "You can even detect it, then Azhou..."
"You think so highly of him." Qiao Min peeled the fruit bit by bit, "He is a man, how can he be so caring? And he has been so busy these past two days that he hit the back of his head, right? He must not be able to think that far."
Yu Nian nodded, that's right. According to Yu Juanzhou's temper, if he really found out the clues, he would definitely lose his temper. Then Azhou would be the one to be killed today.
"I came here today because I was worried that something might happen to you. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen." Qiao Min said worriedly.
"Hey," she looked up at Yu Nian and asked, "Have you taken any measures?"
Yu Nian looked unnatural.
"Why are you embarrassed about this kind of thing? You have to protect yourself at all times. You are the most important thing, and everything else is just a cloud." Qiao Min handed her the peeled apple.
"I know, don't worry." Yu Nian took the apple, feeling heavy in his heart.
"Your relationship with Jiang Nianyan is too dangerous. No matter what his purpose is, before you completely separate from the Jiang family, everything he does to you is to harm you." Qiao Min mentioned it Jiang Nianyan also felt frustrated, "Even if you have nothing to do with the Jiang family in the future, you will still be criticized if you two get too close."
How could Yu Nian not know this?
After meeting Jiang Nianyan, she made every wrong step and watched herself heading towards the abyss.
"I can't even hear the word 'in the future' now." Yu Nian gnawed on the apple without any taste.
"What's going on?"
Yu Nian looked at Qiao Min with a solemn expression. "He suddenly said today that he wanted me to stay with him. I was scared to death."
Qiao Min was stunned, "He wants to break the contract?"
Yu Nian shook his head, "I don't know, I got distracted later by saying something else." She couldn't swallow a mouthful of apple and couldn't spit it out, and when she thought about it, she started to murmur again.
"Minmin, I'm so worried. I hope he just made it up on the spur of the moment and didn't take it seriously."
Qiao Min thought for a long time and said, "Actually, don't worry about whether he means what he said or not. It's a fact that he is attracted to you now."
Yu Nian trembled all over.
Leng Buding remembered Jiang Nian whispering in her ear before the banquet, I am fascinated by you.
Breathing became short for a moment.
She put the apple on the coffee table and said softly, "One year, one year has passed and the road has gone back again. I can only think so."
Yu Nian raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Min, "I can't really piss him off now, otherwise it won't just be me who will suffer, but the entire Yu family will suffer as well."
"What do you want?" Qiao Min asked.
Yu Nian pursed his lips and spoke with some difficulty, "Let him take whatever he wants."
Qiao Min's eyes were startled.
"Jiang Nianyan is used to absolute control. In recent years, his status as the prince of the capital has allowed him to keep a low profile, but he must have a lot of flatterers around him, so he cannot tolerate others saying no."
Yu Nian analyzed clearly, "Just like the tigers and wolves in the jungle, they are not interested in the prey that is too obedient and docile. Instead, they chase the prey that is trying to escape desperately. Jiang Nianyan is this kind of person, I just want to be obedient Be obedient and behave meekly around him, and he will definitely get tired of it over time.”
Why did he have this one-year appointment in the first place?
The reason is simple, retaliation.
So what he wanted to see most was for her to completely shed her pride and crush her dignity under her feet.
He thought, then she would give it.
It made him completely lose interest in hunting and made him feel that what he got was boring.
Qiao Min didn't have any good ideas. She was not from the Beijing circle. Even if she had some connections, those people would naturally not dare to offend Mr. Yan.
The room became quiet for a while.
Yu Nian, the client, had reached a dead end, and as a bystander, Qiao Min had also reached a dead end.
The cell phone rang, shattering the tranquility.
Yu Nian glanced at the phone and put it on the coffee table. When the screen lit up, even Qiao Min saw it.
Jiang Year Banquet.
She immediately thought of the jade bracelet.
Sure enough, after getting through, Jiang Nianyan asked, "Are you looking for me?"
Yu Nian hummed and asked directly about the jade bracelet. Jiang Nianyan laughed, "Is it just because of this?"
"Although that bracelet is not rare in the world, it is still valuable." Yu Nian said.
Jiang Nianyan was silent for a moment and said, "I seem to have never given you a gift, so do you like this gift?"
Yu Nian always felt strange. After thinking about it, he said, "This gift is too precious."
"It's nothing." Jiang Nianyan said lightly, "After all, I've got you covered."
After the call ended, Yu Nian's fingers were shaking, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or angry. She was nervous because this bracelet was too important to her, and angry because Jiang Nianyan's words were too irritating.
Qiao Min held the brocade box and looked at the jade bracelet in the box for a long time. Then she realized and asked her, "Is this the one you wanted me to inquire about?"
Yu Nian nodded.
Qiao Min took it out of the box and looked at it, sighing, "This material is really good."
Where can I find such moist material now?
It's as eye-catching as suet in your hand.
"Jasmine's carving skills are amazing." Qiao Min praised, "Master of the Yu family?"
Yu Nian nodded.
Qiao Min clicked her tongue twice, "Let's not talk about the material, this jasmine flower alone is worth a lot."
Yu Nian looked solemn and said, "I have prepared the money to buy the bracelet."
"So does this count as effortless?" Qiao Min disagreed.
Yu Nian shook his head, "Minmin, that's not the case."
Qiao Min didn't understand her words, and with doubts in her eyes, she put the bracelet back into the brocade box.
Yu Nian had not told Qiao Min about the bracelet because she was pressed for time. Now that she had more time, she told Qiao Min everything she and Yu Juanzhou had planned.
Qiao Min is a smart person. After hearing everything, she suddenly realized and understood the meaning of Yu Nian's sentence "It's not like this" just now.
"It's such a coincidence." Qiao Min also thought so.
Qiao Min said again after a long time. "Did your conscience realize that you wanted to use the jade bracelet as a favor, so I just gave it to you? To Jiang Nian Yan, this is just a bracelet, nothing special."
"That's not right." Yu Nian doesn't think so. "First of all, only Azhou and I know that I want to use the bracelet as a favor. Even you only found out today. How could Jiang Nianyan know what I think? ?Secondly, don’t forget why you bought the bracelet at the Jiangnian Banquet."
"It's for..." Qiao Min remembered what she had found out before.
That's right, it was Miss Mora who took a fancy to it first. Jiang Nianyan sent someone to take away the bracelet and left it behind. Obviously she wanted to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha, right?
And why did you give it to Yu Nian?
Just give it out as a gift?
What's the explanation on Miss Maura's end?
"No matter what, the bracelet is in your hands now. Jiang Nianyan's words are very clear. It is a gift to you. What do you care about his purpose?"
Qiao Min's head hurt when she thought about it, so she simply stopped thinking about it, "Instead of trying to figure out what he was thinking, you might as well get the bracelet and go do business."
Yu Nian looked at the bracelet in the brocade box and said softly, "I'm just afraid that if I give the bracelet away, I'll ask for it again at the Jiang Nian Banquet."
Qiao Min looked at her in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Yu Nian was confused by her look.
Qiao Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you worried about this after working on it for a long time?"
"if not?"
Qiao Min was speechless.
"Did he just say on the phone that this bracelet was a gift for you?"
Yu Nian nodded.
"If you give someone a gift, do you still want it back?"
"Of course not."
"Then why do you think that Jiang Nian's banquet should be taken back? What you give to others belongs to others."
Yu Nian sighed, "Isn't this what Maura likes? What if one day Jiang Nian Banquet makes Pomeranian laugh and go back on her word?"
"Then you won't give it to me. It's all yours. You have the right to control it." Qiao Min was really impressed by her thinking, but it could also be seen that she attached too much importance to this bracelet, so she worried about gain and loss.
"Besides, I think even though Jiang Nianyan can be a bit of a jerk sometimes, as a man he still needs to be shameless, right? How can there be any reason to take things back after giving them to a woman?"
Yu Nian thought about it, at least Jiang Nianyan was still embarrassed.
After figuring this out, she was too lazy to think about whether it was a coincidence that Jiang Nian gave her the bracelet at the banquet. No matter what, the result was that she had the bracelet, and that was fine.
-
Si Tingye called again to invite, but Yu Nian politely declined again.
Just when Yu Nian was preparing for how to contact Mrs. Huang, Huang Jifa took the initiative to contact Yu Nian. His attitude was completely different from what Yu Juanzhou said before. He called Miss Yu one after another, hoping to meet her. one side.
Yu Nian felt puzzled. This man's attitude had changed too much.
Then he asked, "Is it about the factory? If so, you'd better contact A Zhou."
She and Huang Jifa had never crossed paths.
