Jiang Yansheng looked at him with a smile and said the man's name.
"Xiao Chuyun."
"I'm not suitable for you."
Xiao Chuyun lit a cigarette and threw the Marlboro Black Ice box on the table. The smoke he exhaled had a faint mint smell.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Chuyun always looked like he knew everything like the back of his hand, so when he obediently lowered his head to ask questions, Jiang Yansheng found him especially pleasing to the eye.
"Mr. Xiao, there are times when you don't understand?" She took a cigarette from the almost full pack. "Do you still have a light?"
Xiao Chuyun seemed to be in a good mood, but he wasn't easy to talk to. He pressed Jiang Yansheng's hand that was holding the cigarette. "You just drank. Don't smoke."
Jiang Yansheng threw the cigarette away and leaned against the sofa. "I'm not a teenage girl, Xiao Chuyun. I'm not young anymore."
"But the funny thing is that I want the other party to only love me from the moment they were born to the moment they met me. It's not intermittent love, but love from the beginning to the end. Have you ever seen such a person?"
Xiao Chuyun pursed his lips and blew a puff of smoke on her face. "Are you dreaming?"
Jiang Yansheng smiled. "Maybe."
It was just a beautiful fantasy. Why was this man so eager to break it?
Xiao Chuyun pinched her chin with one hand. "Let's not talk about others, even if it's you, you can't meet such conditions, right? Didn't you love Mu Lianchen in college? "
"Who isn't in trouble? Will there be people waiting for you to go over? "
Jiang Yansheng was helpless. "That's right. Mr. Xiao, can't you tell that I'm rejecting you? You don't have to be so calculative, do you? "
Now that Mu Lianchen was mentioned, she didn't feel anything. She even felt a little disgusted and cold.
She suddenly realized that when she was with Mu Lianchen, was that passionate feeling really love?
Or was it because he had been lonely for too long and just wanted to find a companion?
Otherwise, why would she only want to avoid Mu Lianchen when he tried to be intimate with her?
"It's okay. It's not the first time anyway. But I have to say this first. Miss Jiang's idea is doomed to fail." With a harmless smile on his face, Xiao Chuyun snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and carefully caressed Jiang Yansheng's cheek.
"When you run into obstacles everywhere, remember to come back and find me."
"Will that day come for me?" Jiang Yansheng laughed in a low voice, "If that day comes, I won't die in Jingcheng even if I have to die."
"But I don't have many friends. If you are willing to be my friend, Mr. Xiao, I may tell you my new address." She showed her weakness in her eyes, and Xiao Chuyun took it just in time.
"It's okay to be friends."
Xiao Chuyun loosened his grip on her and said lightly, "How does Gu Yan usually call you?"
Jiang Yansheng was puzzled by his question. She didn't want to tell too many people about her and Gu Yan. She just pretended to be serious and said, "Mr. Xiao, you must be joking. Gu Yan and I rarely see each other. How does he call me?"
She looked up at Xiao Chuyun and felt strange in her heart. She didn't know what was wrong with Xiao Chuyun today. His words were still cold, but his aura was much gentler than before.
"Is there anyone else who calls you like this?" Xiao Chuyun looked at her and drawled, "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yansheng got goosebumps when she was called by him. She rubbed her arms hard and stared back, "There are many people who call me like this!"
But Xiao Chuyun was the first one who said it in such a strange tone.
The man chuckled in a low voice. He gently pointed his finger, and the men in black who were like a wall in front of him automatically made way for Jiang Yansheng.
Jiang Yansheng stood up in surprise, "How many drinks have you had today?"
Did Xiao Chuyun let her go so easily?
It seemed that the stomach medicine bought at the door could be kept at home for a while.
"Two or three." Xiao Chuyun said lightly and put the cigarette pack on the table into Jiang Yansheng's small bag, "Do you like to smoke outside? Take it back and smoke it. Tell me if you don't have it. I'll get someone to send it to you. "
Jiang Yansheng pressed down on the bag with the box of cigarettes in it and responded, then went out in fear.
She kept her hand on it, not daring to move, as if there was an explosive in it.
When she reached the elevator cubicle, she subconsciously looked back at the door of room 519, which was tightly closed, and left with her lips pursed.
..
The business street in the city center was bustling. Someone was celebrating a birthday. Jiang Yansheng could hear someone shouting in the car, and then thousands of blue and pink balloons flew up from the ground. There was jubilation and happiness everywhere.
She didn't know which department store Jiang Chu and Shen Lu were in right now.
Jiang Yansheng frowned.
She kept scrolling down the contact list, found a number that she hadn't dialed since she saved it, and pressed it gently.
After a few clear beeps, the phone was picked up.
"Hello, this is Jiang Mansion …"
Jiang Yansheng's eyes darkened, "I'm Jiang Yansheng."
The butler's voice suddenly changed from polite to respectful, "Miss Jiang, what can I do for you?"
"Who is in Jiang Mansion now?"
The butler said slowly, "Master drove out with Mrs. Shen an hour ago. Miss Jiang is filming in another city and hasn't come back yet. Are you looking for someone, Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Yansheng couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Yaru was filming in another city? This kind of clumsy trick could probably only deceive the old people in the family. She clearly saw Jiang Yaru rushing to Shen Lu's ward that day.
"No." Jiang Yansheng's mouth curved coldly. "I'll come back later. I don't want to see them."
The butler seemed to be used to the family's conflicts. He sighed softly, "Miss Jiang, have you had dinner? If you haven't, I'll arrange for someone to prepare it for you. "
Jiang Yansheng's heart warmed. She said "Okay" and stepped on the gas pedal to drive in the direction of Jiang Mansion.
When she drove into the villa area, although she had slowed down the car, the pigeons on the artificial lake were scared away by her.
The butler came up to take Jiang Yansheng's coat. "Miss Jiang hasn't been back for a long time."
"There is no one I miss in this family. Why should I come back?" Jiang Yansheng smiled, "Isn't it asking for trouble?"
The butler also smiled. "Although there is no one you miss, I miss you very much at my age."
"Every time the Old Master nagged, I would also join in and say that I'm looking forward to Eldest Miss' return."
The housekeeper looked at Jiang Yansheng with a benevolent gaze, with a hint of nostalgia.
"Now the people in Jiang Mansion are different from before, but Miss Jiang still looks as young as before." Maybe because Jiang Chu was not here today, the butler, who was usually quiet, sighed a few times. "If Madam were still here, she would be very happy to see Miss Jiang so slim and graceful."
Jiang Yansheng looked up with a smile. "I can't wait to see her."
"But there is no chance."
The butler was silent for a moment and opened the door for Jiang Yansheng. "What are you going to take this time, Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Yansheng entered Jiang Mansion. The decoration inside was magnificent. Without the chattering people, it looked much more comfortable. She stood on the spiral staircase and smiled at the butler. "You don't have to follow me."
"I'll go up and find some of Mom's things to take away."
The butler understood and bowed. "I'll prepare something for you now."
Jiang Yansheng looked at the butler's stooped body and felt a little sad.
"Thank you."
She had been in the Jiang Family for so long, but in the end, the most considerate person was the butler who was not related to her by blood. The word "family" seemed so weak at this time.
She dragged her slippers up to the second floor and stumbled her way to the room she was originally in. She pushed open the door and saw that everything in the room was the same as before. However, whether it was the table or the bed, everything seemed to be empty.
Everything had been taken away by her a few years ago. Some were thrown in the Gu Family's villa, and most of them were in her small and cozy apartment.
The floor was very clean as if someone often came in to clean it.
Jiang Yansheng closed the door after glancing at it indifferently. She walked along the corridor and pushed open the door to her mother's room. To her surprise, there was not even a bed in the room.
The floor was cleaned, and there were violins and other musical instruments placed against the wall. There was also a sofa and a coffee table in the middle of the room.
Jiang Yansheng's hand on the doorknob paused, and the smile on her face faded.
She stood by the stairs and asked the butler downstairs, "How did my mother's room become like this?"
"What happened to the things inside?"
This place had not been like this when she had first married Gu Ran and had come back to collect her belongings.
The housekeeper walked up to her apologetically. "Eldest Miss, we couldn't do anything about this. About half a year after Madam died, Madam Shen would fly into a rage every time she passed by that room. She even told us that it was unlucky. After quarreling with Old Master, she ordered people to move all the things inside to the attic the next day."
"Did Shen Lu do it?" Jiang Yansheng smiled contemptuously. "It seems that her position in the Jiang Family is really stable now. No one dares to say anything against her."
Hearing her careless tone, the butler coughed softly. "It was Mrs. Shen who asked people to clean it up."
"Now that room has become a place for Miss Jiang and Mrs. Shen to put their musical instruments. They usually have afternoon tea in it."
Jiang Yansheng closed her eyes and suddenly felt a little sad.
The last trace of her mother's existence in this house was all cleaned up by people with a disgusting attitude.
They could still talk and laugh here and continue their happy life.
