Wu Jie returned home, feeling very depressed.
When Mrs. Wu saw Wu Jie coming back, she asked, "Son, did the business encounter any difficulties?"
Wu Jie shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired today."
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wu said seriously: "Son, we are about to start a family. We must be careful. Otherwise, how will we lead the Wu family to continue to prosper in the future?"
Wu Jie nodded when he heard this and said helplessly: "Mom, I understand."
Mrs. Wu added: "You will take the betrothal gift to Meng Mansion tomorrow to make arrangements for the marriage. This matter should be resolved and ended as soon as possible."
Wu Jie heard this and said, "I understand."
...
The next day, Meng Mansion.
Meng Ji was dressed neatly, and Wu Jie followed her.
Meng Ji said to Wu Jie: "Didn't you say you could take me to see Meng Han?"
Wu Jie nodded.
Meng Ji said: "Let's go!"
Meng Ji and Wu Jie walked out of the mansion together.
The two walked to the street market.
Seeing the crowds of people all around, Wu Jie said: "Mengji, you guys will meet in a while, so I won't disturb you. I'll wait for you outside."
Meng Ji smiled and said: "What are you thinking? I am your fiancée now, and you have to go forward and retreat with me."
Wu Jie felt ecstatic when he heard this. Meng Ji actually agreed to advance and retreat with him.
This is really great news.
Meng Ji saw Wu Jie stunned and said, "Let's go quickly. If we get bumped into by someone we know, we'll be in trouble."
Wu Jie frowned and said, "Why does it sound like you are afraid of being hit by someone?"
Meng Ji snorted coldly and said: "I am your fiancée now. I don't want to be seen by others before getting married, so as not to cause any misunderstandings."
After Meng Ji finished speaking, she walked straight forward.
"Brother Wu?"
At this moment, a man's voice sounded behind Wu Jie. Meng Ji stopped and looked up.
They saw a young man in a green shirt walking towards them.
Wu Jie followed Meng Ji's gaze and saw that she was dressed in white and looked very handsome.
"Brother Qianjue?" Wu Jie said in surprise.
Qian Jue: "I just had a drink with Brother Wu the day before yesterday. It was really unforgettable. I didn't expect to be able to meet again today. I'm really lucky."
Wu Jie nodded and said, "Indeed, it's fate, but why are you here?"
Qian Jue smiled and said: "A few days ago, I visited my house, but I was not able to enter the house. I happened to be here today. I didn't expect that I would meet Brother Wu. What a fate."
...
Wu Jie looked at the other person's smiling eyes and felt his enthusiasm, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
It must be that his mother rejected Menghan because he was born into a poor family.
Qian Jue looked at Meng Ji and said, "Who is this?"
Wu Jie heard this and introduced: "Oh, this is my fiancée Meng Ji. She will marry me in a few days."
Qianjue smiled when he heard this and said, "Congratulations. I wonder if Brother Meng has time to have a drink at Humble House?"
Meng Ji: "I heard Wu Jie tell me that Mr. Qianjue is very talented. He is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is an elegant scholar, so I came here to pay my respects."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jue laughed and said, "Brother Qian Jue is too praised, too praised."
The three of them headed towards Qian Jue's residence.
Meng Ji thought: "Does he really not remember me? Am I really just a passerby in his life?"
Meng Ji's thoughts were flying, and she was in a trance along the way.
Qianjue's residence is an independent small courtyard. The courtyard is full of various flowers and plants, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing and refreshing.
Meng Ji looked around and thought to herself: "It's still the same as before, it hasn't changed at all."
Meng Ji followed Wu Jie and Qian Jue into the yard and saw a stone table and several stone benches placed in the yard. Wine and food were already placed on the table.
"Come, sit down." Qian Jue greeted.
After the three of them sat down, Wu Jie picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Qianjue, it's really rare to be able to get together here today. Come on, let's do it."
Meng Ji watched Qian Jue silently, and saw him pick up the wine glass, touch it with Wu Jie, and then drink it all.
Meng Ji felt bitter in her heart. She hoped Qian Jue could recognize her, but she couldn't see any disturbance in his calm eyes.
