Nanzhou is different from Beishi in that the weather in late autumn is still warm. With the car window down, there is a faint fragrance of Milan wrapped in the slight tide of the sea water.
Passing by the business district, many businesses have jack-o'-lanterns piled in front of their doors. Young people walking on the street are also dressed as ghosts and ghosts, making it very lively.
Only then did Yu Nian remember that today was Halloween.
The Chinese Ghost Festival is recognized as the Hungry Ghost Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. It is also called the Bon Festival in Buddhism. No matter what it is called, in short, the main purpose of worshiping ancestors before and after that day is to burn paper and light lanterns to guide the way for lonely ghosts. , People in the upper world dare not and will not make fun of people in the underworld.
taboo.
But on Halloween, young people let loose without any scruples. Yu Nian remembered that when she was studying abroad, she actually had a headache during Halloween. A ghost face would suddenly appear on the street and scare her to death, or she would be stopped in the street by children begging for candy. So later on during Halloween, she developed a habit of carrying a bunch of chocolates and candies in her pockets, and giving candies to children running around with jack-o-lanterns as soon as she saw them.
Yu Nian looked away.
Things in my student days seem like a lifetime ago.
Next to her, Jiang Nianyan was leaning there with his eyes closed, but judging from the strength of his grip on her hand, he was not asleep.
We took a direct flight from Beishi to Nanzhou. When we were at the airport, Yu Nian said, "I thought you had to take a private jet when going out."
Jiang Nianyan gave her a reason to look like a scumbag, "The real low-key is to hide in the city."
Can it be hidden?
Yu Nian doesn't think so.
There was a dedicated stewardess in the first class who only served the two of them. After asking, I found out that this was a special instruction from Nanzhou, saying that Young Master Yan should take extra care on this plane.
Yu Nian said, "If you really want to escape, you should take the economy class at the back, or take the green train."
Jiang Nianyan said with a smile, "Yu Nian, go find me a green leather train bound for Nanzhou."
Green leather trains are almost becoming antiques these days.
When we arrived at Nanzhou Airport, the battle was not small. The people who took the lead in picking up the airport were all respectable people, followed by several bodyguards in suits and leather shoes. Jiang Nianyan frowned at that time, and Lao Liu followed him. When he saw this, he said, "I have told you not to come here to pick up the airport, but I didn't expect that I still came."
Several leaders were very happy to see Jiang Nian after the banquet and wanted to reminisce about the past on the spot. Jiang Nian Yan responded calmly and said they would talk about it somewhere else.
People at the airport were watching as they came and went.
Yu Nian followed Jiang Nianyan, wearing sunglasses and a mask. Although Jiang Nianyan did not wear a mask, he also wore sunglasses. It was obvious that he did not like to be exposed in public.
With Jiang Nianyan's appearance, even if he is not surrounded by people, he is still eye-catching. He has the absolute height advantage of northerners, and he stands out in a place like Nanzhou. Even if he wears sunglasses, he can still see the outline of his facial features.
Especially the sexy jawline, which is so sharp that it can kill many women.
The hotel room was opened in advance. It was a presidential suite, hanging high in the sky over Nanzhou. Looking out from the large floor-to-ceiling windows surrounding the room was the azure sea.
There is only one room.
This means that Yu Nian will stay with Jiang Nian Yan every night these days.
After arriving at the hotel, the few people started chatting with Jiang Nianyan, most of whom were talking to each other. Some of them looked familiar to Yu Nian, and while they were thinking about it, Jiang Nianyan actually introduced her directly to everyone.
After learning that she was the daughter of the Yu family and was traveling with Jiang Nianyan on business, the eyes of those present became more ambiguous.
Some couldn't help but asked tentatively, "I heard that the Jiang and Yu families have an engagement, right? I wonder when the wedding will be held?"
Someone else asked more clearly, "Is it Young Master Jiang Ze that Miss Yu is going to marry?" They asked Jiang Nianyan again, "Is Young Master Jiang Ze coming with you this time?"
Jiang Nianyan answered simply, "No."
Several people looked at each other, "Then Miss Yu is..."
I didn’t say everything, but the meaning couldn’t be more obvious.
She came to Nanzhou with her fiancé's brother-in-law, but her fiancé didn't come. This is quite imaginative.
Yu Nian said calmly, "I came here for a project of the Yu family. I met Mr. Yan by chance, so I just went together."
The man smiled and asked, "I didn't expect that the daughter of the Yu family could also do a project?"
There was clearly something else in his words.
Yu Nian smiled slightly, "I majored in business. Although I don't have much experience, it's important to try and practice. After all, the Yu family now has nothing to lose."
He counterattacked the other party calmly, and the other party had nothing to say for a while.
Another person who remained calm was Jiang Nianyan. He looked at Yu Nian and pursed his thin lips.
"Miss Yu also stays in this hotel?" the person next to me asked.
Before Yu Nian could answer, Jiang Nianyan spoke with a slightly cold voice, "If she comes with me, where else can she live if she doesn't live here?"
Clearly displeased.
The man hurriedly apologized and said, "No, no, Mr. Yan, you have misunderstood. I wanted to ask Miss Yu if she has booked a room. Can't I fulfill my duty as a landlord? I can't neglect the daughter of the Yu family."
"Old Liu." Jiang Nianyan shouted.
His attitude was very unfriendly, and everyone around him could feel it.
Old Liu stepped forward and said, "Master Yan, please tell me."
"Has the room been booked?"
Who is Lao Liu? As soon as Jiang Nianyan asked this question, he understood his intention and answered calmly, "I only have time to book Miss Yu's room."
Jiang Nianyan turned his head slightly.
"It's like this. The other presidential suite in the hotel has not been released. I just booked one temporarily. I am communicating with the hotel." Lao Liu gave the reason.
Jiang Nianyan's thin lips parted slightly, "Just book a room for me. There's no need to stare at the presidential suit. Send Miss Yu back to her room to rest first."
"yes."
Yu Nian glanced at Jiang Nianyan and finally let go of his worries. Fortunately, he didn't reveal their ugly relationship without hesitation.
She bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yan."
Several people around them also put aside their doubts. Someone said with a smile, "Miss Yu and Master Yan are still so polite. They are young master Jiang Ze's uncle. Will they be Miss Yu's uncle from now on?"
Yu Nian didn't want to pay attention to these words, but after listening to them for a long time, they still hurt. She looked at the man and said, "Your Excellency is busy with things. You don't know that the Jiang and Yu families have canceled their engagement. It would be great if you have the opportunity to explain it today to avoid misunderstandings and avoid the embarrassment between Master Yan and me."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
"Young Master Yan has been open-minded and allowed me to take a ride today, so please don't make any excuses about me and the Jiang family." Yu Nian's voice was soft and clear, and he clearly distanced himself from the relationship with the Jiang family.
But I also know that this method of clarifying one by one is indeed unwise.
It is not safe to make unilateral statements and will only make others laugh.
Old Liu personally sent Yu Nian upstairs.
When Yu Nian walked away, people around him asked Jiang Nianyan, "Is the engagement really cancelled?"
"General Empress Li realized it later." Jiang Nianyan replied calmly, "My nephew caused a big trouble a while ago. The daughter of the Yu family felt embarrassed and canceled the engagement. In the final analysis, it was Jiang Ze who was at fault. The family is very proud, so it is only human nature to propose breaking off the engagement."
Once everyone heard that it was the Jiang family's problem, they no longer dared to joke about it.
"How can Mr. Yan get a room at will? I'll ask the hotel."
"No need, just stay in whatever room is available. It's not that particular. The project is important."
-
Yu Nian entered the room and sat there for a long time.
For a moment, she really wanted to go shopping on the street looking for partners, instead of just sitting in the room dumbfounded.
But in fact, she was brought by Jiang Nianyan to kill the boring business trip life. No matter how high-sounding and impressive what she just said in the lobby, she was actually just maintaining her remaining dignity.
Before leaving, Old Liu said to Yu Nian, "Master Yan has a full schedule this time. Miss Yu, if you feel bored, you can walk around nearby, but don't go too far."
Yu Nian asked, "Is the schedule quite full?"
Old Liu nodded, "Originally it was five days, but Master Banquet temporarily shortened it to three days, so the schedule will be very full."
Yu Nian was shocked when he heard this. It was originally five days?
She doesn't even know.
"Then...is there any itinerary adjustment? Why was it reduced to three days?" Yu Nian asked.
Old Liu thought about it and said, "The temporary adjustment of the itinerary was also decided by Mr. Yan when he was about to arrive at the airport. The specific reason is unclear."
"What about after that? Are you going back to Bei City?" Yu Nian asked.
Lao Liu expressed his ignorance, "Master Yan didn't give any orders."
After Lao Liu left, Yu Nian was wondering, what happened to make Jiangnian Banquet change its itinerary temporarily?
unknown.
Yu Nian simply stopped worrying. She couldn't influence his decision, and his schedule was not in her hands.
It's good that we opened another room at Jiangnian Banquet, right? It was unclear whether he would sleep in another room. Yu Nian just prayed that his schedule would be fuller, so that he might not have the energy to torment her.
When Qiao Min called, Yu Nian had just finished his vacation and was packing the skin care products in his bag. She didn't bring much, just enough clothes for a change of clothes.
She had very few things on a business trip, and even Jiang Nianyan was surprised. When he helped her carry her bag, he looked at her in disbelief, "That's all?"
"That's all." Yu Nian felt that he was not going to a catwalk, so why did he bring so many things?
Jiang Nianyan casually said, "What if I need you to accompany me to the dinner party?"
Yu Nian's feet slipped and she almost fell. Fortunately, Jiang Nianyan reached out in time to hold her firmly. She looked up at him, "Are you kidding me?"
Jiang Nianyan's face didn't look very good and he snorted coldly. He said coldly, "If you need anything later, buy it locally."
Qiao Min learned that she had followed Jiang Nianyan to Nanzhou, and her words were filled with worries. "Do you want you to stay in the room these days and not come out? He is really good, and others would like to hide it. What does he want to do?"
What do you want to do?
Yu Nian sighed. In fact, she couldn't read him either.
Their current relationship was already shady, but he still brought her to the public. If she really wanted to humiliate, he could have just talked her down to the point of being miserable, and he had helped her regain her dignity.
Contradictory?
contradiction.
So Yu Nian couldn't answer Qiao Min's question.
Qiao Min sighed. Even she felt that the relationship between Yu Nian and Jiang Nianyan was too depressing and suffocating.
"I'm calling to tell you something about Maura." Qiao Min got down to business, "Has she contacted you recently?"
It was strange that Qiao Min suddenly asked this question. Yu Nian said, "We haven't had any contact during this period. There will be some contact before."
"You'd better stay away from her." Qiao Min said softly, "I have a child under my care, and accidentally ran into Maura and Ji Zi together. Ji Zi gave Maura something. Although she didn't know what it was, the two of them It seems like they have a lot in common.”
Yu Nian was surprised, "Maura and Ji Zi?"
There's no way these two can go together.
"Do you know what you gave Maura?"
Qiao Min couldn't explain clearly, "At that time, the children could only watch from a distance and did not dare to come forward. There were bodyguards around Maura and they could not get close."
Qiao Min told Yu Nian about Ji Zi's current situation.
"It's also quite strange. Her manager came to me eagerly before and made appointments with me several times. The intention was very obvious. She just wanted Ji Zi to find a chance to get involved again. I don't like to talk to Ji Zi, so I just kept talking to her. Drag her agent.”
Qiao Min told Yu Nian, "But in the past few days, her agent has stopped, and she has not been around to tell her. I don't know what the reason is."
After ending the call, Yu Nian felt uneasy for some reason. It was obviously Ji Zi's fault, so she shouldn't feel this way.
Qiao Min asked her on the phone when she would return to Beishi, but Yu Nian couldn't tell. Finally, Qiao Min reminded her insinuatingly, "You must do what you need to do. If something goes wrong, it will be women who will suffer."
Yu Nian looked at the hustle and bustle at his feet and felt heavy in his heart.
The phone vibrated again.
It was a WeChat message from Yu Juanzhou, telling her that Si Tingyuan had started the contract process.
It was a very happy thing at first, but Yu Nian didn't know why but couldn't be happy. She replied to Yu Juanzhou with three words——
Very good.
But Yu Juanzhou quickly posted another message: Are you unhappy?
This was the feeling he had had since childhood, and he could tell something was wrong with her even through the screen of his mobile phone.
Yu Nian didn't want to be affected by this annoying emotion, and tried his best to get his emotions back on track. She sent a voice message——
"First it was the factory, then the cooperation between the Yu and Company companies. Everything went smoothly one after another. What else am I unhappy about?"
Yu Juanzhou simply made a voice call.
Yu Nian hesitated for a moment and then answered.
"Men's sixth sense is sometimes very strong." Yu Juanzhou said softly.
Yu Nian didn't want him to worry, so he smiled and said, "It turns out that a man's sixth sense is more like moaning for nothing."
Hearing her smile, Yu Juanzhou felt relieved and said in a cheerful tone, "As soon as the contract is over, we will return to Jiangnan."
Yu Nian felt a knot in his heart.
Yu Juanzhou was sensitive, "What's wrong?"
He later asked, "You don't...don't want to go back, do you?"
"Of course I do." Yu Nian stood in front of the window, looking far away, landing on the blue coastline. There seemed to be seagulls flying across the sea in the distance.
"It's just that I'm scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
Yu Nian raised his hand and gently pressed his green-white fingers against the azure color reflected in the glass. The annoying emotion lingering in his heart was always there.
"I'm just afraid that something unexpected will happen and that we won't be able to go back as we wish."
