Maura was about to leave, but when she turned around and saw Jiang Nianyan sitting down, she felt excited.
Especially when she saw that Jiang Nian took off her watch and put it on the coffee table without any hesitation, and took the magazine and flipped through it, Maura's face suddenly became ugly.
The man's actions were natural and the meaning couldn't be more obvious, but what a smart woman Maura is? Shengsheng suppressed the increasingly strong premonition in his heart, thought about it, and sat down.
"Nian Nian is not feeling well. She really can't live without people around her. If Yu Juanzhou is really relieved, let her, a girl, come to Nanzhou to discuss the project." Maura said softly.
Jiang Nianyan didn't answer, flipping through the magazine, turning a deaf ear to Maura's words.
Maura looked up at him, looking unhappy.
But when he spoke again, he obviously suppressed his emotions, "As long as I'm here to watch over you, go and do your work."
"No need." Jiang Nianyan said in a calm tone.
Maura pursed her lips, her jaw tense for a moment. After a while she said, "She lives with a girl, so it's not convenient for you to be here."
When Jiang Nianyan heard this, he put the magazine in his hand on the coffee table. His eyes were very light and a little cold when he looked at it carefully. He looked at Maura, "I brought her here."
Maura took a breath and felt unnatural when she spoke, "What did you say?"
"Didn't you already know? Since you already know, there is no need to hide it." Jiang Nianyan looked solemnly, "I asked Yu Nian to follow me to Nanzhou."
Maura breathed quickly and stared at Jiang Nianyan, "You... you..."
"We are together." Jiang Nianyan told him bluntly.
Then he said, "You should have checked what should be checked. Although Lao Liu opened another room, it was always empty."
Maura murmured, "You... are too busy and don't have time to rest.
Jiang Nianyan seemed to be sarcastic, laughing at her self-deception, "Maura, I'm sleeping in this room."
The words couldn't be more clear. It was impossible for Maura to continue to pretend to be crazy, and she really couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up quickly, her eyes were burning when she stared at Jiang Nianyan.
"Jiang Nianyan, are you crazy? She is your nephew's fiancée! She is your niece-in-law! What do you want to do?"
Compared to Maura's rage, Jiang Nianyan seemed calm to the point of cruelty. He told her word for word, "She will not marry Jiang Ze, and now that she is with me, I will not let her marry Jiang Ze."
Maura was so angry that her lips trembled, "Jiang Nian gave you a banquet...don't forget, even if Yu Nian and Jiang Ze break off their engagement, you are still her elder! It is an established fact that she has an engagement with the Jiang family, you Do you think you can bypass this relationship?"
Jiang Nianyan laughed, "Since you can't go around it, then why don't you go around it at all? So what if I am her elder?"
One question left Maura speechless.
For a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Have you never thought about what others will think of her? You are ruining her reputation by doing this! You can't imagine how the outside world will evaluate her. She broke off the engagement with Jiang Ze and was with you in the blink of an eye. Others He will only scold her for seducing uncles and nephews of the Jiang family and doing whatever it takes to benefit the interests of the Yu family!"
Jiang Nianyan put his arms on the armrest of the sofa, and the light jumped on the cufflinks on his wrists, reflecting a dark light. He said, "It is normal for most people not to be kind to others. But once it escalates to personal attacks, I believe there will be a driving force behind the scenes."
At this point, he looked at Maura with a smile, "What do you think?"
Maura narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at him, her lips tightened into a line.
"I believe in your ability to stir up public opinion, but I also have the ability to counter public opinion. Maura, your family has been a businessman for generations. If you start some fires, you may not be able to burn the other party, but will be burned back by the fire, so don't It's a source of fire." Jiang Nianyan said calmly.
Maura was angry, "You think you can shut everyone's mouths?"
"Who will take it seriously if it doesn't concern you?"
Maura's chest rose and fell rapidly, and she glared at him, "Jiang Nianyan, what do you mean by being so open and honest now? Have you forgotten that the two families intend to marry? And who in the outside world doesn't know that the Jiang family and our family plan to marry? "
Jiang Nianyan looked at her leisurely, half-smiling.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Maura was alert.
Jiang Nianyan said, "The marriage between the two families has just begun and has become known to the world. Maura, are you a little impatient? If the marriage fails, will you lose face?"
There was anger in Maura's eyes, "You want to regret your marriage?"
"Why do you regret that the marriage relationship is not confirmed?" Jiang Nianyan said lightly, "I do not accept the marriage. I have made it clear to the elders of both parties a few days ago. You don't know it."
Maura sneered, "Jiang Nian Banquet, do you still have a choice? If you don't marry with the Maura family, will you just rely on your identity as the young master of the Jiang family to fight for power? Don't be so idealistic. You have no help and you want to swallow it up." Your elder brother is a fantasy!"
"I don't need you to worry about this." Jiang Nianyan looked calm.
Maura was filled with resentment, gritted her teeth, turned around and walked back to the bedroom. However, Jiang Nianyan was one step ahead of her, firmly blocking her steps, his expression became much cooler, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to ask her now, what exactly is she thinking? Does she really want to be with you even though she has to bear the infamy?" Maura gritted her teeth.
These words made Jiang Nianyan laugh, "Maura, what time has it been? And since I want her, I won't allow anyone to dare to hurt her."
Maura gritted her teeth, stared at him for a long time and suddenly smiled, her tone turned sarcastic, "You said you two are together, then I want to ask whether she did it willingly or was forced to do so?"
"Maura, you still haven't figured out a problem." Jiang Nianyan didn't have the emotional change she expected at all, and his face was always watery. "She is with me now. This is the fundamental thing and an established fact. The rest is not important."
"It's just that you don't think it's important. Also, do people like you consider other people's feelings? According to my understanding of Yu Nian, it's impossible for her to be with you. Jiang Nianyan, you ignore her for your own selfish desires. Thoughts, are you still a human being?" Maura sneered.
Jiang Nianyan's eyebrows were light, "Maura, it's best not to do this kind of thing a second time, because I don't have the patience every time. In addition," his tone was as cold as ice, "according to your understanding of Yu Nian ?How well can you understand her?"
Maura stared at him, and after a while she said coldly, "Jiang Nianyan, if you offend me, you are offending the Mora family. You will definitely regret it in the future!"
After speaking, he left angrily.
The room was quiet after Maura left.
Jiang Nianyan returned to the sofa and sat down. He took out a box of cigarettes under the coffee table, tore open the outer packaging, took a cigarette and put it in his mouth. When he had the lighter in his hand, he thought about it and put it down. .
A cigarette was rolled around in his fingers, and finally thrown into the trash can.
He took off his coat and leaned tiredly on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest his mind, but some messy thoughts made him dizzy.
Yes, he has lost his mind.
Jiang Nianyan opened his eyes and turned to look in the direction of the bedroom. Lying inside was the woman he had obtained through all his efforts.
But she was clearly there, by his side, but he never felt at ease.
-
Qiao Min went to the bathroom and stuffed her cell phone and satchel into Yu Juanzhou's arms. Yu Juanzhou said with a look of helplessness, "How can he be so good even if he can't hold back from going to the bathroom on a blind date? He still makes you feel embarrassed."
"What do you know? This is called basic etiquette." Qiao Min said and hurried into the bathroom.
Yu Juanzhou held her bag and mobile phone and walked outside. She said to herself, "It's still basic etiquette. I haven't seen you have any etiquette towards me."
Usually he is always shouting and drinking.
Qiao Min's cell phone rang at this time. Yu Juanzhou lowered his head and glanced. It was Qiao Min's mother.
I didn't want to answer the call at first, but it kept ringing and showed no signs of hanging up. In addition, Yu Juanzhou and Qiao Min's mother had a good relationship, so I thought about it and answered the call.
As soon as I got through to Ms. Yao, the questions started pouring in intensively——
"Have you met with Lawyer Qiao? How do you feel? Don't be in such a hurry to go home after dinner. I'm going to watch a movie at around seven o'clock, or you two are walking on the street or something. By the way, these two Isn’t it Halloween? The festive atmosphere hasn’t passed yet. You go to an amusement park or something like that..."
Yu Juanzhou politely listened to Ms. Yao's eighteen questions, and then said softly, "Mama Yao, it's me, Azhou."
Ms. Yao was stunned for a moment, then said enthusiastically, "Azhou? Oh, you haven't been home for a while. Mama Yao misses you."
Yu Juanzhou smiled and exchanged greetings, and Yao Mama also chatted with her for a long time before remembering the key point, "Eh? Why are you with Minmin? Didn't she go to see Lawyer Qiao tonight? Isn't she letting someone go again? !”
"Don't be nervous, she has met Lawyer Qiao." Yu Juanzhou hurriedly reassured her, "I just have something to ask Qiao Min for help."
Yao Mama sighed, "Azhou, tell me honestly, is Minmin not interested in that lawyer Qiao? Did she tell you? Where is she?"
Yu Juanzhou thought for a moment and said, "I feel... well, Qiao Min's impression of that lawyer is average. Falling in love at first sight is no good."
"It takes time to cultivate feelings. How old is she? Girls of her age have long..."
Another chatter.
When Qiao Min came out of the bathroom, she saw Yu Juanzhou answering her cell phone. Anyone who could tell him to answer the phone directly could guess it with their toes. She stepped forward and didn't rush to answer the phone, so she just listened.
Yu Juanzhou looked down at her and couldn't help laughing.
When Ms. Yao finally finished speaking on the other end, Yu Juanzhou said with a smile, "Mama Yao, how old is Qiao Min? She is not in a hurry to get married. She came out of the bathroom. Give her the phone."
Qiao Min really didn't want to answer her, but if her mother could hide for a while, could she hide for the rest of her life? Always report.
So, Ms. Yao continued her conversation, and finally asked her, "I don't understand. What dissatisfied you about Lawyer Qiao? That young man is so popular."
Qiao Min sighed, "Mom, we can't force things like relationships. Lawyer Qiao and I can just let everything happen."
By the time he spoke, he had arrived at the parking lot and entered the car, and the voice on the phone was clearer. "Just do it, Qiao Min! If you miss such a good boy, this village will not have this shop!"
After speaking, he hung up the phone angrily.
Yu Juanzhou heard it clearly and didn't say anything. He just lowered his head to hold back his laughter.
Qiao Min reached out and hit him, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, I just rarely see you looking helpless." Yu Juanzhou said.
Qiao Min sighed, that was her mother, what else could she do.
"How dare you answer the phone," she said.
"Why don't you dare to answer the phone?"
"You dare to answer the phone, but don't dare to admit that you are at my house?" Qiao Min said.
Only then did Yu Juanzhou understand what she was talking about and smiled, "I was at your house early in the morning and it had a bad influence on you."
Qiao Min was stunned for a few seconds, and then said, "I've thought about it a lot. That's my mother. How can it have any bad effects? I think you are just afraid that my mother will misunderstand you and make you responsible."
After saying this, I complained to myself, what should I say?
Really, fatal.
Yu Juanzhou was happy, "I'm afraid that Yao Mama will misunderstand, but I'm afraid that she will misunderstand you. Besides, what's the point of being afraid of taking responsibility? I can take responsibility at any time."
Qiao Min was confused for a moment when she heard this, but she also knew that it didn't mean what she thought, so she cleared her throat and said, "What are you saying about being responsible or irresponsible? It's like we have something. "
Only then did he react and turned to look at Yu Juanzhou, "You're not here just because of me tonight, are you?"
"Yes, I'm afraid that the other party has evil intentions. You usually seem to be shrewd, but you have too little emotional experience. What if you get deceived?" Yu Juanzhou said.
Qiao Min was speechless, "So, you didn't drive?"
"I just hit your car."
Qiao Min looked at him in surprise, "Are you so sure that I can go with you?"
"I'm not sure. If you are really right, I will take a taxi back at worst." Yu Juanzhou said with a smile, "It turns out that you really don't like him."
Qiao Min looked at him and suddenly became interested, "What do you think of Qiao Lu?"
"It's not that good. The city is quite deep and it's not suitable for you."
Qiao Min raised her eyebrows, "You mean I'm only worthy of being silly and sweet?"
"I mean his profession is not suitable for you. How many people have you offended by fighting criminal cases? What if you are implicated one day? So take my advice and stay away from lawyers, especially criminal lawyers."
We left with a "laughter" in the restaurant.
In fact, it was all the credit of Yu Juanzhou and Cheng Yaojin for pulling Qiao Min back from the embarrassment in time. In the end, Qiao Min left because of the party. Qiao Shen didn't blame her and said she would meet again later when there was an opportunity.
"Delete your contact information such as WeChat if you can. Since you don't want to communicate, don't give the other party a chance." Yu Juanzhou added.
Qiao Min pursed her lips and said, "You are very lenient."
"The friendship between us since childhood, I care about you."
Qiao Min couldn't help laughing and asked him where he was going next. If you have the ability, you can conjure up a party for me. Yu Juanzhou sighed softly, "Qiao Min, I find that you are so heartless. I put aside my official duties and came to save you, and you just hate me like this? If you think I beat a mandarin duck, just say so."
"I'm going to beat the shit out of you."
"I'll take you to eat cold skewers. There's a new restaurant. I've tried it. You must like it." Yu Juanzhou said.
There was never enough food in a place like this. Qiao Min often had to find a stall to eat after making excuses in such a restaurant. Yu Nian's greedy habit was brought about by Qiao Min.
