kiss you while drunk
Chapter 49 Confession
There was not only Jiang Xinran's mother in the box, but also a stranger.
the man.
The man didn't look very old, but he wasn't too young either. He was about 27 or [-], with a normal appearance and well-dressed clothes. When he saw Jiang Xinran, his eyes were shining.
"Xinran is here? Come and sit down." Jiang Peilan got up with a smile on her face, and went to Jiang Xinran, "I was talking about you with Xiao Cao... By the way, look at my memory, I forgot that you two have never met Come on, come quickly, Mom will introduce you."
Jiang Xinran stood at the door and refused to go in. Jiang Peilan half pushed and dragged her into the box, and stayed in front of the strange man.
She stood at the table with a gloomy face, only to hear Jiang Peilan's shrill voice excitedly introduce, "Xinran, this is your Uncle Cao's son, named Cao Qixian, a talented student studying in a famous foreign university, he just returned to China, look This young man is so nice, talented and handsome."
The man named Cao Qixian took Jiang Peilan's wink, understood immediately, smiled at Jiang Xinran pretending to be shy, and spoke politely: "Hello Xinran, I heard Uncle Wu and my father talk about you a long time ago. You are reunited with your mother, I take the liberty to disturb you, I am really sorry, but I have admired you for a long time, without this method, it is really difficult to see your real face."
When he spoke, he stretched out a hand to shake Jiang Xinran's hand.
Jiang Xinran ignored him, stood far away, stared at him, glanced up and down, no matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a good person.
A high-end suit can only cover his skin, but it cannot cover his eyes or breath.
The scholarly air in those eyes floated on the surface, too loose to fool Jiang Xinran.Underneath the impetuous gentleness, the treacherous and cunning light could hardly be hidden, and there was an uncomfortable hostility on his body.
Being "admired" by such a person, Jiang Xinran only felt shuddering.
You don't need to think about it to know what his admiration means.
So Jiang Xinran tried not to touch him, and hid him far away. He didn't show his unhappiness, but raised his chin at Jiang Peilan, and said with a smile: "Mom, I went out in a hurry and didn't pay attention to my appearance. I'm sure now." It's a mess, it's the first time I see a guest like this, it's rude, why don't you accompany me to the bathroom to touch up your makeup? I don't know where. "
"This..." Jiang Peilan looked at Cao Qixian hesitantly, and then at Jiang Xinran. She didn't see any unpleasant expression on her face. After thinking for a while, she agreed, "Okay, mom will take you there, Xiao Cao, no Excuse me, please sit down alone first..."
"Auntie, you're welcome. Of course, it's Xinran's business that matters. You guys go first. I'll order some delicious food. I'm meeting Xinran for the first time today. I'm happy. I have to have two drinks anyway." Cao Qixian smiled politely , and even personally opened the door of the box for them.
Jiang Xinran gave him a perfunctory smile, dragged Jiang Peilan, instead of going to the bathroom, she found a quiet corner, and asked her with a calm face, "What's going on?"
"What's going on, isn't Xiao Cao a nice person..." Jiang Peilan talked about him from left to right.
Jiang Xinran's joy of being reunited with her mother was gone. Looking at Jiang Peilan's guilty face, there was only deep disappointment left, but she still couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say you want to celebrate the New Year with me alone? Call such a person What's the meaning?"
"Xinran, don't worry, mom really has no other intentions, mom is just for your own good..." Jiang Peilan saw that Jiang Xinran was really angry, and hurriedly explained: "You are almost 25, and you are still single now, There is no one around who knows how to hurt others, and Mom can’t always be by your side to take care of you, can you not worry for you? This Xiao Cao’s father is an old friend of your Uncle Wu, a fateful friendship! Xiao Cao’s family is rich and nice, after you follow him, you will wear gold, silver, glory and wealth, what’s not to like?”
Jiang Xinran didn't speak, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, squinting at her.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Jiang Peilan persuaded: "Don't we women want to be safe and secure all our lives without worrying about food and clothing? When you marry into the Cao family, you will be a young mistress. You don't even need to study such a poor graduate student. Just be safe and have fun. , not [-] times better than you are studying hard now? Look at your former high school classmate, who was called Xiao Ai, she was much smarter than you. She married a rich man while she was young, and her life now is no better than yours. Is it [-] times easier? Xinran, why can't you figure it out?"
Jiang Xinran listened to what she said, her heart gradually cooled down, she let out her nose, and sneered at Jiang Peilan: "Although I work hard, I earn money to support myself, and every penny depends on my knowledge and blood and sweat. I have a clear conscience, I don't care much about begging others for food, and I don't care about peace and enjoyment."
Jiang Xinran paused, and looked at Jiang Peilan with contempt, "I'm not you."
Jiang Peilan's face turned pale, her lips trembled, "Xinran! No matter what I say, I'm still your mother. How can you say that about me?"
"Whatever you say, blame me for being stupid. I really thought that your conscience found out that you started to miss me, so you were fooled for the last time." Jiang Xinran straightened up, patted the dust on his back, "That's it, I'll go gone."
Jiang Peilan hugged her arm, her eyes terrified, "What will you do with Young Master Cao in the box after you leave?"
Jiang Xinran looked down, and suddenly felt a little more sympathy for her.
Jiang Peilan is like a dodder flower, she loves leisure and hates work, and she only knows how to cling to men all her life. In her eyes, it is natural for women to cling to men and live like begging. This is called "women's way".
In fact, when Jiang Peilan did not remarry back then, if she could have a little self-reliance and rely on her own hands to work, although life was a little bit harder, she would definitely be much more fulfilled and happier than now. At least she would not have to serve her second marriage like a servant. We have been together for more than ten years.But Jiang Peilan wanted to marry another man and become a housewife.
So she can only live under the fence and watch other people's faces.
Jiang Xinran sneered, "If you are willing to be the young mistress of the Cao family, you can go by yourself. I have no obligation to ruin my life's happiness for you."
Let's go.
Jiang Peilan begged with eyes full of tears, and her voice began to tremble, "Xinran, you can't go, I beg you, you have high eyesight and look down on Mr. Cao, mom won't force you, you can find a good one by yourself in the future." Go, but for today's meal, Mom begs you to stay and finish eating? Just treat it as being with Mom, and leave after eating, can't you even understand Mom's request? "
Jiang Peilan's eye circles turned red as soon as she spoke, and tears fell down like broken beads, crying so hard that everyone choked up, which made Jiang Xinran unbearable.
After all, this is also her mother, who gave birth to her in October. When she was a child, she held her in her arms and sang a lullaby to lull her to sleep. It was impossible to just let her go.
Jiang Peilan noticed Jiang Xinran's hesitation, and cried even more miserably, as if digging her heart out with Jiang Xinran, "Xinran, you can help mother, or..." She covered her face and sobbed, "Otherwise you My little brother's life is almost lost..." As he spoke, he began to sob.
Jiang Xinran frowned, "What's going on?"
"I don't know who your brother learned from outside. He was tricked into gambling, and he lost 10,000+ all at once."
"Where did he get so much money?" Jiang Xinran was surprised.
Jiang Peilan choked with sobs: "His friends encouraged him to borrow high-interest loans, and now the interest rates are rolling, and he already owes 30 to [-]."
"Then hurry up and pay it back, isn't Wu Jiewen very rich?"
"He has repeatedly failed to invest in business, and now he still owes money to others. How can there be money? I dare not let him know about this, otherwise he will kill your brother..."
Jiang Xinran got a headache when she heard her say "your brother", as if she really had a lot of affection with that ignorant boy, so she simply interrupted her, "Then what do you want me to do? Lend you money? I A poor student lives frugally every month, how can I lend you money?"
"Mom knows your difficulties, don't...you don't need to borrow..." Jiang Peilan sobbed, wiped away her tears, raised her head and begged Jiang Xinran, "That Cao Qixian's family is very rich, your uncle Wu and your brother are counting on his father now Mom, please, just have a meal with him and send him away happily, so that he can persuade his father to lend money to our family, and don't have to worry about being threatened by debt collection, just treat him like a mother. You can do something for mother, okay?"
Jiang Xinran hesitated.
Jiang Peilan collapsed and slid down, "Isn't it okay for the mother to kneel down for you..."
Jiang Xinran quickly helped her up, "Don't do this, can I promise you?"
Jiang Peilan raised her head and said in surprise, "Really?"
Jiang Xinran saw that her face changed faster than the sky, the last bit of reluctance in her heart disappeared, her heart was cold, and she really didn't have any nostalgia for the last bit of family affection she had in this world.
Jiang Peilan didn't have Jiang Xinran as a daughter in her heart for a long time. She was all focused on her husband and son. Jiang Xinran was just a useful outsider. Whenever she remembered, she would look for her.As long as she can save her son and husband, Jiang Peilan doesn't care if Jiang Xinran will be harassed by Cao Qixian in the future.
Jiang Xinran wiped his face, feeling an indescribable exhaustion in his heart, "But this is really the last time, don't call me again in the future, even if you call, I won't answer it."
"Don't worry." Jiang Peilan smiled wryly, "After this time, Mom won't have the face to come to you again."
Jiang Xinran looked down at her, sighed, and handed her a tissue, waiting for her to dry her tears and sort out her emotions, and followed her back to the box.
Cao Qixian in the private room was impatient for a long time. Seeing Jiang Xinran coming in, his eyeballs seemed to be straightened, sticking to her body, and smiled politely: "I don't know what kind of food Xinran likes to eat, so I just eat the food from the store. I ordered some casually from the signboard, sit down with my aunt and taste it, and order new ones if it doesn’t taste good.”
"Xiao Cao is too polite, I can't finish eating so many dishes." Jiang Peilan smiled like a flower on her face, she pushed her against Jiang Xinran's back, and let Jiang Xinran sit next to Cao Qixian.
Jiang Xinran took a seat apart calmly, and Jiang Peilan was anxious behind, but she couldn't say much.
"Does Xinran drink? I asked them to serve a bottle of vintage wine." Cao Qixian picked up the wine bottle on the round table. Although he was asking, he was already making a gesture to pour it down for Jiang Xinran.
"Sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol." Jiang Xinran took away the goblet in front of him.
Cao Qixian's expression flashed for a moment of discomfort, and then he laughed loudly, "It's understandable, it's better for girls not to drink, and they must protect their own safety when they go out, so let's not drink alcohol today and only eat vegetables. "
But Jiang Xinran didn't move his chopsticks and just sat there.
Cao Qixian has a villainous look between his brows, and treachery is hidden under the false enthusiasm. Who knows if he will tamper with the food and drink.
Jiang Peilan was on the sidelines as anxious as burning eyebrows. After a while, she broke the silence with a smirk and said, "Don't mind, Xiao Cao. Xinran has been like this since she was a child. She is introverted and can't talk. She really can't drink, or I Go and pour her a glass of cold water, and ask her to toast you with water instead of wine?"
Jiang Xinran flirted with her mother, a little surprised.
Although it was a polite gesture, it was still speaking for her.
Jiang Xinran didn't want to make his mother look too bad, since he agreed, at least he had to do the superficial work, so he nodded to his mother.
Jiang Peilan immediately walked out of the box, brought in a glass of water herself, and it was still warm when it was given to Jiang Xinran.
Jiang Xinran was a little moved. Her mother still remembered that she had a stomach problem and couldn't drink cold water, which was already rare.
So Jiang Xinran offered Cao Qixian a cup of water with that glass of water.
Cao Qixian was in high spirits, drank several glasses of wine during the dinner, and would clink glasses with Jiang Xinran every time. Gradually, the glass of white water in front of Jiang Xinran ran out.
Jiang Peilan stayed with the table for more than half an hour, watching Jiang Xinran drink a glass of water, with a satisfied smile in her eyes, she stood up and said, "Xiao Cao, Xinran, please sit down for a while, I'll go to the bathroom."
Jiang Xinran said, "Understood."
Cao Qixian exhorted loudly: "Aunt Jiang, be careful when slipping."
After Jiang Peilan went out, Cao Qixian set his interested eyes on Jiang Xinran's face again.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, Linyuan is cold anyway, the temperature is on the edge of ten degrees, the heating temperature in the private room is turned on very high, Jiang Xinran is still wearing a woolen coat, sweating on his back, his cheeks are worse than Cao Qixian's People with wine are even redder, it's too hot, and it's a little hard to breathe.
But she didn't want to take off her coat in front of Cao Qixian, so she endured it like that, and soon there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Xinran, why are you sweating, why don't I lower the temperature of the air conditioner?" Cao Qixian said to her with a smile on his lips.
Jiang Xinran was quite surprised, nodded, "I'm sorry."
So Cao Qixian lowered the temperature, and Jiang Xinran felt better immediately.
It's hard to be in the same room with a poisonous snake, Jiang Xinran felt like a light on his back, thinking to himself, when Jiang Peilan came back, he would excuse himself to leave.
But Jiang Peilan took a very long time to go out, and she didn't come when she waited, and she didn't come when she waited.
Jiang Xinran sat for more than ten minutes, finally couldn't sit still, and wanted to say goodbye, but just as she got up, the scenery in front of her suddenly turned around, and she barely supported her body by pressing the table.
"What's wrong with you, Xinran? Are you uncomfortable?" Cao Qixian walked over pretending to be concerned, and put his hand on Jiang Xinran's shoulder.
"It's okay, Mr. Cao doesn't need to care about it." Jiang Xinran avoided Cao Qixian vigilantly, "I have been bothering you for so long, I should go too. When my mother comes back, please tell her Mr. Cao."
Jiang Xinran walked out, but his eyes were shaking more and more, as if the world was spinning, and the dizziness in his head gradually increased.
not good.
Jiang Xinran has already realized that the situation is not good, she panicked in her heart, and the remaining consciousness warned herself to keep her superficial calm, and get out of the box as soon as possible, as long as she got out of the box, she could call for help.
But her legs were no longer under the control of her brain, and she tried desperately to speed up her pace, but her feet were limp as if she was drunk, and she staggered, and finally reached the door, but was blocked by Cao Qixian.
"Where is Xinran going?" Cao Qixian raised his eyebrows and smiled at her casually.
"You let me out." Jiang Xinran tried to stay awake, but her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and her heart sank as well, feeling helpless overwhelmed by the abyss, "If you dare to do anything to me, I will definitely do it." Sue you, sue until you go to jail."
Cao Qixian snorted as if he heard some joke, and walked over, "You tell me, isn't it ten years in prison? If I can get such a beautiful girl like you, I will be worth it even if there is no term." He licked his lower lip lewdly, "I've seen a lot of intellectuals, and it's the first time I've seen a graduate student as beautiful as you. What does a beautiful woman like Kochi taste like? Let me try something new today."
"No..." Jiang Xinran's face was full of fear, she had no strength at all, and her consciousness was almost blurred, so she could only let Cao Qixian rush towards her.
She is now a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
Jiang Xinran closed her eyes in despair, Gu Ruo's image flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern at the moment.
It would be nice if Gu Ruo was here.
Jiang Xinran's heart was filled with panic and remorse, she shouldn't have believed Jiang Peilan, Gu Ruo was right, Jiang Peilan had already hidden her intentions.
If only I had listened to Gu Ruo's persuasion, it would have been fine if I hadn't come today. If I had known that I was going to end up like this, it would be better...
It's not as good as being in the mountains that day, don't refuse Gu Ruo...
Gu Ruo, where are you?Come here soon...
As long as you appear in front of my eyes now, I don't care about everything before, I will hold you tightly and tell you, I...
If I say I don't like you, it's a lie. How can I not like you?I like you, love you, I have loved you for six years, and I will only continue to love you in the future.
Don't want... don't want to find someone else.
I only want you.
Gu Ruo...
Jiang Xinran kept his eyes open, not letting his consciousness disappear, and watched Cao Qixian's hand touch his shoulder.
Jiang Xinran's heart was already in despair, she finally closed her eyes and let go.
Darkness enveloped her.
However, at this moment, there was a loud bang not far away, like a thunderstorm on a sunny day, which scared Cao Qixian to jump back a step, turning his head back in horror.
The last bit of Jiang Xinran's vague consciousness was awakened. She pulled her eyelids tiredly, and finally struggled to make a crack. From that crack, Jiang Xinran saw that the door of the box was kicked open from the outside.
Gu Ruo, her Gu Ruo, stood there with a pale face like a god descending from the earth.
Even though she didn't shed tears when she was already in despair, when Gu Ruo came into view, Jiang Xinran's tears filled her eyes, and finally she couldn't help but shed them.
Gu Ruo glanced at Jiang Xinran who was limp on the chair, her heart tightened, and she was almost out of breath from the pain.
Her pupils ignited raging anger, and she walked straight to Cao Qixian.
Cao Qixian's legs were already weak, and Gu Ruo was like a demon walking out of hell, making people creepy.
"Who are you……"
Cao Qixian just asked this sentence.
Gu Ruo raised her leg and violently kicked into his heart!
The action is so fast that there is no way to react!
Cao Qixian screamed, curled up on the ground, rolled and howled, and begged for mercy.
But Gu Ruo didn't intend to let him go.
With a cold face, Gu Ruo lowered his head and stared at Cao Qixian coldly. The hard high-heeled shoes kept stomping down on Cao Qixian's heart——
One after another, Cao Qixian felt that his internal organs were about to be crushed, and he couldn't resist at all, so he could only roll on the ground and beg for mercy.
He wanted to get up to resist, but he only supported the ground with his elbows, and Gu Ruo had already grabbed his collar and kicked him up!
Cao Qixian despised women, never knew that a woman's strength could be so amazing, he lifted him up and threw him directly on the table!
Gu Ruo grabbed his throat, bit his silver teeth, his eyes turned a terrifying blood red, one hand tightly strangled Cao Qixian's neck, and the other hand formed into a fist as hard as steel, Hit Cao Qixian hard on the face!
He actually knocked out his teeth!
Gu Ruo is like a wild beast that has gone mad. At the moment, there is only one thought in his mind, which is to kill Cao Qixian.
"Mr. Gu! Mr. Gu, stop!" The assistant walked in and saw Gu Ruo, who was in a frenzy, and Cao Qixian, who was almost unconscious with a bruised nose and face full of blood, his heart almost stopped suddenly, and he took three steps at the same time. He took two steps forward and grabbed Gu Ruo, "Mr. Gu, the policeman is already standing outside the door. He committed a crime and the law will naturally punish him. Calm down, there's no need to involve yourself in it for a scumbag, right? "
But Gu Ruo turned a deaf ear to it, and punched Cao Qixian to the flesh!
"Mr. Gu, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Ms. Jiang! If something happens to you, what will Ms. Jiang do?!" the assistant shouted in desperation.
Gu Ruo stopped all his movements as if he had been immobilized.
Like a rusty machine, she slowly lowered her bloody fist with pauses.
She moved her neck mechanically, looked at Jiang Xinran, and finally regained some sanity.
Jiang Xinran leaned back on the chair, only a sliver of consciousness remained, her eyes were filled with tears, and they fell down from the corners of her eyes, and Gu Ruo's heart was broken into pieces, and then fell down.
Jiang Xinran stretched out his hand to Gu Ruo with all his strength.
Gu Ruo's heart trembled, he strode forward, wrapped her hands around her, gritted his teeth, and rubbed her tightly into his arms.
"Gu Ruo, Gu Ruo..." Jiang Xinran tightened the clothes on Gu Ruo's chest with her fingers, and her tears flowed hot into Gu Ruo's neck, "Is...is it you?"
"It's me." Gu Ruo's voice trembled, her eyes were blurred, and she pressed against the base of her neck, choking: "Ranran, it's me, don't be afraid, you don't have to be afraid, no one can hurt you, I will protect you you……"
"Gu Ruo...I...I have something to tell you..." Jiang Xinran's consciousness was lax and her speech was unclear, but she bit her tongue and wanted to say this:
"I like you……"
the man.
The man didn't look very old, but he wasn't too young either. He was about 27 or [-], with a normal appearance and well-dressed clothes. When he saw Jiang Xinran, his eyes were shining.
"Xinran is here? Come and sit down." Jiang Peilan got up with a smile on her face, and went to Jiang Xinran, "I was talking about you with Xiao Cao... By the way, look at my memory, I forgot that you two have never met Come on, come quickly, Mom will introduce you."
Jiang Xinran stood at the door and refused to go in. Jiang Peilan half pushed and dragged her into the box, and stayed in front of the strange man.
She stood at the table with a gloomy face, only to hear Jiang Peilan's shrill voice excitedly introduce, "Xinran, this is your Uncle Cao's son, named Cao Qixian, a talented student studying in a famous foreign university, he just returned to China, look This young man is so nice, talented and handsome."
The man named Cao Qixian took Jiang Peilan's wink, understood immediately, smiled at Jiang Xinran pretending to be shy, and spoke politely: "Hello Xinran, I heard Uncle Wu and my father talk about you a long time ago. You are reunited with your mother, I take the liberty to disturb you, I am really sorry, but I have admired you for a long time, without this method, it is really difficult to see your real face."
When he spoke, he stretched out a hand to shake Jiang Xinran's hand.
Jiang Xinran ignored him, stood far away, stared at him, glanced up and down, no matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a good person.
A high-end suit can only cover his skin, but it cannot cover his eyes or breath.
The scholarly air in those eyes floated on the surface, too loose to fool Jiang Xinran.Underneath the impetuous gentleness, the treacherous and cunning light could hardly be hidden, and there was an uncomfortable hostility on his body.
Being "admired" by such a person, Jiang Xinran only felt shuddering.
You don't need to think about it to know what his admiration means.
So Jiang Xinran tried not to touch him, and hid him far away. He didn't show his unhappiness, but raised his chin at Jiang Peilan, and said with a smile: "Mom, I went out in a hurry and didn't pay attention to my appearance. I'm sure now." It's a mess, it's the first time I see a guest like this, it's rude, why don't you accompany me to the bathroom to touch up your makeup? I don't know where. "
"This..." Jiang Peilan looked at Cao Qixian hesitantly, and then at Jiang Xinran. She didn't see any unpleasant expression on her face. After thinking for a while, she agreed, "Okay, mom will take you there, Xiao Cao, no Excuse me, please sit down alone first..."
"Auntie, you're welcome. Of course, it's Xinran's business that matters. You guys go first. I'll order some delicious food. I'm meeting Xinran for the first time today. I'm happy. I have to have two drinks anyway." Cao Qixian smiled politely , and even personally opened the door of the box for them.
Jiang Xinran gave him a perfunctory smile, dragged Jiang Peilan, instead of going to the bathroom, she found a quiet corner, and asked her with a calm face, "What's going on?"
"What's going on, isn't Xiao Cao a nice person..." Jiang Peilan talked about him from left to right.
Jiang Xinran's joy of being reunited with her mother was gone. Looking at Jiang Peilan's guilty face, there was only deep disappointment left, but she still couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say you want to celebrate the New Year with me alone? Call such a person What's the meaning?"
"Xinran, don't worry, mom really has no other intentions, mom is just for your own good..." Jiang Peilan saw that Jiang Xinran was really angry, and hurriedly explained: "You are almost 25, and you are still single now, There is no one around who knows how to hurt others, and Mom can’t always be by your side to take care of you, can you not worry for you? This Xiao Cao’s father is an old friend of your Uncle Wu, a fateful friendship! Xiao Cao’s family is rich and nice, after you follow him, you will wear gold, silver, glory and wealth, what’s not to like?”
Jiang Xinran didn't speak, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, squinting at her.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Jiang Peilan persuaded: "Don't we women want to be safe and secure all our lives without worrying about food and clothing? When you marry into the Cao family, you will be a young mistress. You don't even need to study such a poor graduate student. Just be safe and have fun. , not [-] times better than you are studying hard now? Look at your former high school classmate, who was called Xiao Ai, she was much smarter than you.

Jiang Xinran paused, and looked at Jiang Peilan with contempt, "I'm not you."
Jiang Peilan's face turned pale, her lips trembled, "Xinran! No matter what I say, I'm still your mother. How can you say that about me?"
"Whatever you say, blame me for being stupid. I really thought that your conscience found out that you started to miss me, so you were fooled for the last time." Jiang Xinran straightened up, patted the dust on his back, "That's it, I'll go gone."
Jiang Peilan hugged her arm, her eyes terrified, "What will you do with Young Master Cao in the box after you leave?"
Jiang Xinran looked down, and suddenly felt a little more sympathy for her.

At least she would not have to serve her second marriage like a servant. We have been together for more than ten years.But Jiang Peilan wanted to marry another man and become a housewife.
So she can only live under the fence and watch other people's faces.
Jiang Xinran sneered, "If you are willing to be the young mistress of the Cao family, you can go by yourself. I have no obligation to ruin my life's happiness for you."
Let's go.
Jiang Peilan begged with eyes full of tears, and her voice began to tremble, "Xinran, you can't go, I beg you, you have high eyesight and look down on Mr. Cao, mom won't force you, you can find a good one by yourself in the future." Go, but for today's meal, Mom begs you to stay and finish eating? Just treat it as being with Mom, and leave after eating, can't you even understand Mom's request? "
Jiang Peilan's eye circles turned red as soon as she spoke, and tears fell down like broken beads, crying so hard that everyone choked up, which made Jiang Xinran unbearable.
After all, this is also her mother, who gave birth to her in October. When she was a child, she held her in her arms and sang a lullaby to lull her to sleep. It was impossible to just let her go.
Jiang Peilan noticed Jiang Xinran's hesitation, and cried even more miserably, as if digging her heart out with Jiang Xinran, "Xinran, you can help mother, or..." She covered her face and sobbed, "Otherwise you My little brother's life is almost lost..." As he spoke, he began to sob.
Jiang Xinran frowned, "What's going on?"
"I don't know who your brother learned from outside. He was tricked into gambling, and he lost 10,000+ all at once."
"Where did he get so much money?" Jiang Xinran was surprised.
Jiang Peilan choked with sobs: "His friends encouraged him to borrow high-interest loans, and now the interest rates are rolling, and he already owes 30 to [-]."
"Then hurry up and pay it back, isn't Wu Jiewen very rich?"
"He has repeatedly failed to invest in business, and now he still owes money to others. How can there be money? I dare not let him know about this, otherwise he will kill your brother..."
Jiang Xinran got a headache when she heard her say "your brother", as if she really had a lot of affection with that ignorant boy, so she simply interrupted her, "Then what do you want me to do? Lend you money? I A poor student lives frugally every month, how can I lend you money?"
"Mom knows your difficulties, don't...you don't need to borrow..." Jiang Peilan sobbed, wiped away her tears, raised her head and begged Jiang Xinran, "That Cao Qixian's family is very rich, your uncle Wu and your brother are counting on his father now Mom, please, just have a meal with him and send him away happily, so that he can persuade his father to lend money to our family, and don't have to worry about being threatened by debt collection, just treat him like a mother. You can do something for mother, okay?"
Jiang Xinran hesitated.
Jiang Peilan collapsed and slid down, "Isn't it okay for the mother to kneel down for you..."
Jiang Xinran quickly helped her up, "Don't do this, can I promise you?"
Jiang Peilan raised her head and said in surprise, "Really?"
Jiang Xinran saw that her face changed faster than the sky, the last bit of reluctance in her heart disappeared, her heart was cold, and she really didn't have any nostalgia for the last bit of family affection she had in this world.
Jiang Peilan didn't have Jiang Xinran as a daughter in her heart for a long time. She was all focused on her husband and son. Jiang Xinran was just a useful outsider. Whenever she remembered, she would look for her.As long as she can save her son and husband, Jiang Peilan doesn't care if Jiang Xinran will be harassed by Cao Qixian in the future.
Jiang Xinran wiped his face, feeling an indescribable exhaustion in his heart, "But this is really the last time, don't call me again in the future, even if you call, I won't answer it."
"Don't worry." Jiang Peilan smiled wryly, "After this time, Mom won't have the face to come to you again."
Jiang Xinran looked down at her, sighed, and handed her a tissue, waiting for her to dry her tears and sort out her emotions, and followed her back to the box.
Cao Qixian in the private room was impatient for a long time. Seeing Jiang Xinran coming in, his eyeballs seemed to be straightened, sticking to her body, and smiled politely: "I don't know what kind of food Xinran likes to eat, so I just eat the food from the store. I ordered some casually from the signboard, sit down with my aunt and taste it, and order new ones if it doesn’t taste good.”
"Xiao Cao is too polite, I can't finish eating so many dishes." Jiang Peilan smiled like a flower on her face, she pushed her against Jiang Xinran's back, and let Jiang Xinran sit next to Cao Qixian.
Jiang Xinran took a seat apart calmly, and Jiang Peilan was anxious behind, but she couldn't say much.
"Does Xinran drink? I asked them to serve a bottle of vintage wine." Cao Qixian picked up the wine bottle on the round table. Although he was asking, he was already making a gesture to pour it down for Jiang Xinran.
"Sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol." Jiang Xinran took away the goblet in front of him.
Cao Qixian's expression flashed for a moment of discomfort, and then he laughed loudly, "It's understandable, it's better for girls not to drink, and they must protect their own safety when they go out, so let's not drink alcohol today and only eat vegetables. "
But Jiang Xinran didn't move his chopsticks and just sat there.
Cao Qixian has a villainous look between his brows, and treachery is hidden under the false enthusiasm. Who knows if he will tamper with the food and drink.
Jiang Peilan was on the sidelines as anxious as burning eyebrows. After a while, she broke the silence with a smirk and said, "Don't mind, Xiao Cao. Xinran has been like this since she was a child. She is introverted and can't talk. She really can't drink, or I Go and pour her a glass of cold water, and ask her to toast you with water instead of wine?"
Jiang Xinran flirted with her mother, a little surprised.
Although it was a polite gesture, it was still speaking for her.
Jiang Xinran didn't want to make his mother look too bad, since he agreed, at least he had to do the superficial work, so he nodded to his mother.
Jiang Peilan immediately walked out of the box, brought in a glass of water herself, and it was still warm when it was given to Jiang Xinran.
Jiang Xinran was a little moved. Her mother still remembered that she had a stomach problem and couldn't drink cold water, which was already rare.
So Jiang Xinran offered Cao Qixian a cup of water with that glass of water.
Cao Qixian was in high spirits, drank several glasses of wine during the dinner, and would clink glasses with Jiang Xinran every time. Gradually, the glass of white water in front of Jiang Xinran ran out.
Jiang Peilan stayed with the table for more than half an hour, watching Jiang Xinran drink a glass of water, with a satisfied smile in her eyes, she stood up and said, "Xiao Cao, Xinran, please sit down for a while, I'll go to the bathroom."
Jiang Xinran said, "Understood."
Cao Qixian exhorted loudly: "Aunt Jiang, be careful when slipping."
After Jiang Peilan went out, Cao Qixian set his interested eyes on Jiang Xinran's face again.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, Linyuan is cold anyway, the temperature is on the edge of ten degrees, the heating temperature in the private room is turned on very high, Jiang Xinran is still wearing a woolen coat, sweating on his back, his cheeks are worse than Cao Qixian's People with wine are even redder, it's too hot, and it's a little hard to breathe.
But she didn't want to take off her coat in front of Cao Qixian, so she endured it like that, and soon there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Xinran, why are you sweating, why don't I lower the temperature of the air conditioner?" Cao Qixian said to her with a smile on his lips.
Jiang Xinran was quite surprised, nodded, "I'm sorry."
So Cao Qixian lowered the temperature, and Jiang Xinran felt better immediately.
It's hard to be in the same room with a poisonous snake, Jiang Xinran felt like a light on his back, thinking to himself, when Jiang Peilan came back, he would excuse himself to leave.
But Jiang Peilan took a very long time to go out, and she didn't come when she waited, and she didn't come when she waited.
Jiang Xinran sat for more than ten minutes, finally couldn't sit still, and wanted to say goodbye, but just as she got up, the scenery in front of her suddenly turned around, and she barely supported her body by pressing the table.
"What's wrong with you, Xinran? Are you uncomfortable?" Cao Qixian walked over pretending to be concerned, and put his hand on Jiang Xinran's shoulder.
"It's okay, Mr. Cao doesn't need to care about it." Jiang Xinran avoided Cao Qixian vigilantly, "I have been bothering you for so long, I should go too. When my mother comes back, please tell her Mr. Cao."
Jiang Xinran walked out, but his eyes were shaking more and more, as if the world was spinning, and the dizziness in his head gradually increased.
not good.
Jiang Xinran has already realized that the situation is not good, she panicked in her heart, and the remaining consciousness warned herself to keep her superficial calm, and get out of the box as soon as possible, as long as she got out of the box, she could call for help.
But her legs were no longer under the control of her brain, and she tried desperately to speed up her pace, but her feet were limp as if she was drunk, and she staggered, and finally reached the door, but was blocked by Cao Qixian.
"Where is Xinran going?" Cao Qixian raised his eyebrows and smiled at her casually.
"You let me out." Jiang Xinran tried to stay awake, but her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and her heart sank as well, feeling helpless overwhelmed by the abyss, "If you dare to do anything to me, I will definitely do it." Sue you, sue until you go to jail."
Cao Qixian snorted as if he heard some joke, and walked over, "You tell me, isn't it ten years in prison? If I can get such a beautiful girl like you, I will be worth it even if there is no term." He licked his lower lip lewdly, "I've seen a lot of intellectuals, and it's the first time I've seen a graduate student as beautiful as you. What does a beautiful woman like Kochi taste like? Let me try something new today."
"No..." Jiang Xinran's face was full of fear, she had no strength at all, and her consciousness was almost blurred, so she could only let Cao Qixian rush towards her.
She is now a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
Jiang Xinran closed her eyes in despair, Gu Ruo's image flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern at the moment.
It would be nice if Gu Ruo was here.
Jiang Xinran's heart was filled with panic and remorse, she shouldn't have believed Jiang Peilan, Gu Ruo was right, Jiang Peilan had already hidden her intentions.
If only I had listened to Gu Ruo's persuasion, it would have been fine if I hadn't come today. If I had known that I was going to end up like this, it would be better...
It's not as good as being in the mountains that day, don't refuse Gu Ruo...
Gu Ruo, where are you?Come here soon...
As long as you appear in front of my eyes now, I don't care about everything before, I will hold you tightly and tell you, I...
If I say I don't like you, it's a lie. How can I not like you?I like you, love you, I have loved you for six years, and I will only continue to love you in the future.
Don't want... don't want to find someone else.
I only want you.
Gu Ruo...
Jiang Xinran kept his eyes open, not letting his consciousness disappear, and watched Cao Qixian's hand touch his shoulder.
Jiang Xinran's heart was already in despair, she finally closed her eyes and let go.
Darkness enveloped her.
However, at this moment, there was a loud bang not far away, like a thunderstorm on a sunny day, which scared Cao Qixian to jump back a step, turning his head back in horror.
The last bit of Jiang Xinran's vague consciousness was awakened. She pulled her eyelids tiredly, and finally struggled to make a crack. From that crack, Jiang Xinran saw that the door of the box was kicked open from the outside.
Gu Ruo, her Gu Ruo, stood there with a pale face like a god descending from the earth.
Even though she didn't shed tears when she was already in despair, when Gu Ruo came into view, Jiang Xinran's tears filled her eyes, and finally she couldn't help but shed them.
Gu Ruo glanced at Jiang Xinran who was limp on the chair, her heart tightened, and she was almost out of breath from the pain.
Her pupils ignited raging anger, and she walked straight to Cao Qixian.
Cao Qixian's legs were already weak, and Gu Ruo was like a demon walking out of hell, making people creepy.
"Who are you……"
Cao Qixian just asked this sentence.
Gu Ruo raised her leg and violently kicked into his heart!
The action is so fast that there is no way to react!
Cao Qixian screamed, curled up on the ground, rolled and howled, and begged for mercy.
But Gu Ruo didn't intend to let him go.
With a cold face, Gu Ruo lowered his head and stared at Cao Qixian coldly. The hard high-heeled shoes kept stomping down on Cao Qixian's heart——
One after another, Cao Qixian felt that his internal organs were about to be crushed, and he couldn't resist at all, so he could only roll on the ground and beg for mercy.
He wanted to get up to resist, but he only supported the ground with his elbows, and Gu Ruo had already grabbed his collar and kicked him up!
Cao Qixian despised women, never knew that a woman's strength could be so amazing, he lifted him up and threw him directly on the table!
Gu Ruo grabbed his throat, bit his silver teeth, his eyes turned a terrifying blood red, one hand tightly strangled Cao Qixian's neck, and the other hand formed into a fist as hard as steel, Hit Cao Qixian hard on the face!
He actually knocked out his teeth!
Gu Ruo is like a wild beast that has gone mad. At the moment, there is only one thought in his mind, which is to kill Cao Qixian.
"Mr. Gu! Mr. Gu, stop!" The assistant walked in and saw Gu Ruo, who was in a frenzy, and Cao Qixian, who was almost unconscious with a bruised nose and face full of blood, his heart almost stopped suddenly, and he took three steps at the same time. He took two steps forward and grabbed Gu Ruo, "Mr. Gu, the policeman is already standing outside the door. He committed a crime and the law will naturally punish him. Calm down, there's no need to involve yourself in it for a scumbag, right? "
But Gu Ruo turned a deaf ear to it, and punched Cao Qixian to the flesh!
"Mr. Gu, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Ms. Jiang! If something happens to you, what will Ms. Jiang do?!" the assistant shouted in desperation.
Gu Ruo stopped all his movements as if he had been immobilized.
Like a rusty machine, she slowly lowered her bloody fist with pauses.
She moved her neck mechanically, looked at Jiang Xinran, and finally regained some sanity.
Jiang Xinran leaned back on the chair, only a sliver of consciousness remained, her eyes were filled with tears, and they fell down from the corners of her eyes, and Gu Ruo's heart was broken into pieces, and then fell down.
Jiang Xinran stretched out his hand to Gu Ruo with all his strength.
Gu Ruo's heart trembled, he strode forward, wrapped her hands around her, gritted his teeth, and rubbed her tightly into his arms.
"Gu Ruo, Gu Ruo..." Jiang Xinran tightened the clothes on Gu Ruo's chest with her fingers, and her tears flowed hot into Gu Ruo's neck, "Is...is it you?"
"It's me." Gu Ruo's voice trembled, her eyes were blurred, and she pressed against the base of her neck, choking: "Ranran, it's me, don't be afraid, you don't have to be afraid, no one can hurt you, I will protect you you……"
"Gu Ruo...I...I have something to tell you..." Jiang Xinran's consciousness was lax and her speech was unclear, but she bit her tongue and wanted to say this:
"I like you……"
