Qiushui Yiren

After recalling Yu Yinxia's consciousness, An Jing found another topic and asked, "Just now I asked An Xi to receive Ms. Yu, did he do anything out of the ordinary?"

"No." So it was you who arranged it.

What about you, do you not want to see me, do not want to see me, or do you disdain to see me?

An inexplicable grievance came to Yu Yinxia's heart: "I have similar interests with An Shao, and we had a great conversation. An Shao kindly invited me to stay for dinner, and I agreed."

"My younger brother is good at everything, but he doesn't know anything about men and women. If you offend Ms. Yu in any way, please forgive me."

After An Jing finished speaking, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Maybe it's because the alcohol hasn't gone down yet, or maybe it's because I've been lying down for a long time and my whole body is weak. As soon as my feet hit the ground, I felt dizzy for a while, and the two of them just held hands together.

"Mirror?"

"I'm fine." An Jing shook her head, her face flushed, "I'm a little dizzy suddenly, just stand up for a while."

Yu Yinxia stood with her.

An Jing's hand was very warm, but his own was cold.Want to let go?Will she feel cold, will she...

"Why are your hands so cold?" As he spoke, he grabbed Yu Yinxia's other hand, wrapped hers in his warm hands and rubbed them, "It's already autumn, if you go out at night, you should wear more clothes some."

Yu Yinxia pursed her lips.

Two or three minutes passed, and when Yu Yinxia's hands were warmed up, An Jing pulled her and shouted at the door: "Ziyun, do you have a hand warmer at home? Prepare one for Miss Yu."

Wan Yun replied: "Alright Master Jing, I'll go prepare."

"Sister." An Xi ran upstairs in three or five steps, "Dinner is ready, would you like to eat with us?"

"Yeah." An Jing let go of Yu Yinxia's hand, "I'll come as soon as I change my clothes."

"It's late at night, what clothes do you need to change?" An Xi pulled An Jing, "Miss Yu is knowledgeable and considerate, she won't mind you wearing a nightgown to eat."

Yu Yinxia also said: "In my own home, Lord Jing can do as he pleases."

"Don't change clothes, let me wash my face, shall I?"

"Haha, okay, okay, Miss Yu and I will go downstairs and wait for you." An Xi turned to look at Yu Yinxia, ​​"My sister's thin skin is not something ordinary people can see. Miss Yu has to keep it a secret for her. "

……

Eat without speaking and sleep without speaking.

When the three of them ate, they seldom talked, which was an indispensable tutor for wealthy families.

The only topic was An Jing asking about Yu Yinxia's injury.

Yu Yinxia eats meals with small mouthfuls, and her movements are so delicate that she doesn't even get the lipstick on her lips.

At first he was attracted by the way he was eating, but in the end he stared at his lips and became dazed. It wasn't until the meat caught by the chopsticks fell on the table that someone came back to his senses.

Putting down the chopsticks in embarrassment, pretending to cough.

Anxi didn't miss any chance to tease her domineering sister: "Sister, why are you acting like a child, dropping things on the table after eating. Our family has no shortage of meat, so you can't waste it like that."

An Jing glared at him: "Shut up."

Wan Yunshang came to wipe the table, and An Jing quietly looked at Yu Yinxia.She lowered her head, but there seemed to be a smile on the corner of her mouth?

what a shame.An Jing wanted to find a ground drill.

……

After dinner, An Jing asked An Xi to avoid suspicion, and sent Yu Yinxia out by himself.I don't know what's going on, so I asked rashly: "Miss Yu is [-] years old, right? Is there an engagement?"

Facing An Jing's straightforward question, Yu Yinxia didn't know what his intentions were, but her face burned hotly: "Marriage matters, it's all up to the parents."

"I never thought about finding someone I really admire?"

"Master Jing." Yu Yinxia's tone suddenly turned bad.How many women can live according to their own ideas?

"In this world, not every woman has the right to choose independently like you. If you don't marry at the age of 30, no one dares to criticize you. It's because you are rich and powerful. If the daughter of an ordinary family is 20 If you don't find your husband's family at the age of 20, you will be pointed out by your neighbors. As the daughter of the Yu family, Yu Lanyin promised a rich family, but I have not married at the age of [-]. You have eyes and ears, and your heart is like a mirror. Do you really think it's my father who doesn't want me?"

An Jing was stunned, before she could figure out that the sudden anger was aimed at herself, Yu Yinxia put the heater back in her hand, turned around and ran out of the gate.

Xu'er and the private car were waiting outside, Yu Yinxia was still angry, and said loudly: "Xu'er open the door and go home."

……

Half a month later, An Jing and An Xi were invited to Yu Zhengqing's 50th birthday party.

"Sister, what do you think of me wearing this?" As usual, An Xi would definitely not go to such an occasion to join in the fun.

An Jing thought that he wanted to meet Yu Yinxia, ​​who "had a good time with each other", so he was not so conflicted about the banquet and could accept it from the bottom of his heart.

Looking through the clothes in his closet, he turned around to look at the clothes on his upper body, nodded and said, "An Shao looks good in anything. Don't dawdle, let's go. Don't run around at the banquet, important people, I will introduce you to each other."

"No, no, no." An Xi took out his trump card and acted like a baby, "Sister, you don't need to worry about me, and I don't need to know the people you mentioned. I'm just going to have a meal, that's all."

"Miss Qi's family and Miss Xu's family will also be there. If you don't participate in business matters, I won't force you for now. You must always take care of your own life's major events, right?"

"Okay, I'm paying attention, I'll never refuse anyone who comes!"

"Don't be poor with me. When you come back, tell me everything you saw and heard at the reception."

……

The birthday banquet was held at Zhengqing Restaurant, and Yu Yinxia and Mrs. Yu greeted the guests at the door.

When the An family siblings arrived, Mrs. Yu deliberately stood in front of Yu Yinxia to say hello. An Xi wanted to pass her and say hello to Yu Yinxia, ​​but An Jing stopped her.

"If you do this, you will only make things difficult for Mrs. Yu afterwards."

"Isn't the daughter of a rich family always the apple of the eye?"

"she is not."

An Xi half understood: "Yu Zhengqing sent an unfavored daughter to approach me in an attempt to exchange the smallest bargaining chip for the greatest benefit?"

The value of existence was profited, and An Jing finally figured out where Yu Yinxia's anger came from that day.

"She can't help herself. Don't say these words in front of other girls. "

"Sister, I'm not stupid."

……

The guests in the banquet hall are all famous nobles.As soon as An Jing entered the arena, he was surrounded by several bosses who exchanged polite greetings.

An Xi couldn't get used to flattery, and also couldn't get used to putting on airs, so she resolutely said, "Sister, you're busy with your work, I'll take a walk around to see if there's any girl coming to your door."

"Be careful." An Jing couldn't control his grown-up brother anymore.

Boss Qi of Rongxiang Advertising Company led his wife and daughter towards An Jing: "Master Jing came to the banquet alone? I heard that your younger brother returned from studying abroad not long ago, and I thought I would be able to see An Shao's demeanor today, but it's a pity pity."

"Boss Qi, Mrs. Qi, Ms. Qi, it's a pleasure to meet you." An Jing greeted them one by one, and gave them a look, "My brother is very playful and doesn't like to follow me. You are young, there is a generation gap between me and him."

"Master Jing was joking. Master Jing is young and promising, and he has single-handedly managed the family business to flourish. May I ask how many women in Shanghai and even the whole country can stand shoulder to shoulder with Master Jing?"

"Boss Qi praised it." The feudal thought that men are superior to women is deeply rooted, who knows whether he is sarcastic or praising.

"Madam took my daughter for a walk, Master Jing and I have something important to discuss." Qi Rongxiang hinted.

"Okay, my little girl and I won't bother you." Madam Qi understood, "Riyue, let's go somewhere else, don't you want to talk to Ms. Yu?"

Qi Ruyue was full of curiosity about An Jing, but more of that was admiration.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he was sent away by his parents.Qi Ruyue pursed her mouth and bowed politely to An Jing, but was dragged away by Madam Qi.

Boss Qi then said to An Jing: "Master Jing, do you know that a company named Yinghua Cigarettes has started to seize the Shanghai market in the past few months? Their advertisements are all over the concession inside and outside the concession. Master Jing has no idea about it? "

"Yinghua? Heh, it's actually a foreigner-run company, right?" How could An Jing not know such a big deal?

"State-owned enterprises are struggling. Only by cooperating with foreigners can they open up the market and obtain financial and channel support. It is not easy for Master Jing to hold on to this position." These words come from the heart.

"Let me think about it and reply to Boss Qi in a few days." Patriotic is patriotic, and I must never let Ang's Tobacco Company fall into my hands.

Both An's factory and An's mansion are outside the concession and enjoy a great reputation.

An's family holds a concession pass and a temporary residence permit, and the people in the An family can enter and exit the concession at any time without fear of being investigated.

But An's cigarettes are only sold outside the concession, almost a monopoly.

In the past few years, other joint-venture cigarettes tried to get a share outside the concession, and they underestimated An's appeal.

It also underestimated the unity of the Republic of China.

……

The banquet officially started. After Yu Zhengqing delivered a speech, Mrs. Yu said that she had prepared a surprise program for everyone, and all the guests applauded.

Guessing whether the rich and powerful Yu family invited the theater troupe or the circus.

It was Yu Yinxia holding a pipa who appeared on the stage: "I am not good at sound, please play a piece of "Yangyang Yeyue" at my father's birthday banquet to cheer up all the guests. .”

As soon as Yu Yinxia finished speaking, the people present whispered.

How can there be a rich daughter who shows her face in public?Not a showgirl.

Some also said that people celebrated their father's birthday, sang and danced sonatas, and they were not considered performing arts in public.

The sound is very mixed, but it is clear to the ear.

Yu Yinxia acted like no one else was around, playing the music to herself.There were about a hundred guests in the audience, and there were very few people who listened carefully to the music, and An Jing was one of them.

An Xi took this as an accidental discovery: "Sister, when did you fall in love with pipa music?"

"recent."

"Oh. By the way, just now that Miss Qi's family was pulled over by her mother to strike up a conversation with me. We talked a few words about personal preferences. She said that she could play the piano. I also like it..."

"To shut up."

"..." My sister, didn't you ask me to report to you in detail!

An Jing stared at the people on the stage in a daze again.Such a scene seemed to have appeared countless times in her life.

Have we met somewhere?

Suddenly the strings of the lute broke, and the ear-piercing noise silenced the audience, and everyone looked at Yu Yinxia in unison.

String breaks.

It has always been regarded as an ominous omen by the world.

Mrs. Yu came onto the stage cursing and pulled Yu Yinxia away: "Today is the master's birthday, did you break the strings to curse your father's short life?"

After leaving the banquet hall, Madam Yu threw the pipa on the ground.

Yu Yinxia tried to argue with reason: "The broken string was unexpected. I said I haven't touched the piano for a long time. You insisted on me..."

"Snapped!"

Mrs. Yu slapped Yu Yinxia on the face: "You dare to talk back when you did something wrong. You want to shirk responsibility and blame me for this, don't you? Believe it or not, I will let you live on the street tonight, old lady?"

Yu Yinxia covered her face, her eyes were unwilling, but her mouth was subdued: "Yin Xia dare not. It is Yin Xia who said wrong words and did wrong things, and angered father and wife. Please forgive me."
