The door of the banquet hall was still open, and the orange light was dancing inside. It brought a little warmth in the biting cold, but it was all dispelled by the voice of the woman on the phone.
She didn't know if it was because of the electric current, but she even thought for a moment that the person who called was An Yajing who had just been sent away.
Fortunately, it was not.
However, it was obvious that the woman knew her, and her tone was sarcastic. It was really impossible for her to say anything that would make her happy.
Jiang Yansheng took a deep breath and tried to make her voice calm, "I'm sorry. I didn't save your number. Who are you?"
"Oh, we used to live together. Why didn't Sister Yansheng save my number?" The woman on the phone bent her eyes, and her voice was as sweet as her expression, "I thought Sister Yansheng and my brother were so close to each other. You wouldn't forget me, right?"
Jiang Yansheng's pitch-black eyes carried a hint of coldness.
"I can't forget you."
Behind the blood-red building, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the gloomy sky, and then a roar like an explosion sounded, reflecting Jiang Yansheng's pale and cold face.
"Gu Yiyi, what can I do for you?"
She couldn't find Gu Yan, but Gu Yan's sister was so attentive. It was really interesting.
An Di stood aside and watched Jiang Yansheng make a phone call with a serious face. He approached her with a cheeky smile and stretched out his hand to ask her for the car key.
Jiang Yansheng glared at him and slapped An Di's hand away.
"It's not a big deal." Gu Yiyi's delicate voice on the phone was like a small needle poking people's eardrum. She stretched out a slender finger and twirled her hair, "I just returned to Jingcheng, and my brother held a Cleansing Banquet for me. Will you come?"
Jiang Yansheng sneered, "I can't afford to be friends with you at your Cleansing Banquet. I won't go."
"I'm fine." Gu Yiyi giggled. She sounded like an old friend who had been friends with Jiang Yansheng for more than a decade. "He booked the entire floor of the Jingjiang Sea Banquet. Doesn't it matter how many people come? Anyway, we're all friends, and I haven't seen Sister Yansheng for a long time. I really miss you. "
Her longing for Gu Yiyi made her nauseous.
Jiang Yansheng couldn't help curling her fingers against the wall. She smiled.
"Why did you call me?"
Show off?
Or was this a demonstration?
Jiang Yansheng had to admit that Gu Yiyi's little trick really angered her, but Jiang Yansheng adjusted his mood very well and was as pleasant as Gu Yiyi on the phone.
"If there's any relationship, it's because your brother and I used to have a little relationship. Why would Miss Gu miss me? I'm really flattered. "
"You didn't use to have a relationship, did you?" Gu Yiyi's voice didn't sound happy or angry. There was a hint of schadenfreude in it. "If I hadn't looked at my brother's phone this morning, I wouldn't have known that Sister Yansheng and my brother are so close now!"
Jiang Yansheng's pale face instantly turned pale.
Why could Gu Yiyi look at Gu Yan's phone?
What did she see?
No, it was impossible. How could Gu Yan give his phone to Gu Yiyi?
"Really?" Jiang Yansheng gave a perfunctory reply. "Maybe it's related to work."
"Who knows …" Gu Yiyi sneered. "Since Sister Yansheng also said that it didn't have much to do with my brother, I was jealous this morning and deleted your contact information from my brother's phone. Please don't blame me, Sister Yansheng!"
She pretended to be sad. "It was Ah Ran who told me that it didn't matter how I deleted his phone. I know that nothing happened when Sister Yansheng and Brother Ah Ran were together, but my heart is so small. It's so hard for me to bear it …"
Gu Yiyi's voice was getting farther and farther away in Jiang Yansheng's ears.
Her head hurt badly.
She didn't know whether what Gu Yiyi said was true or false, or if it was just a lie to trick her. She comforted herself a thousand times in her heart that she shouldn't believe Gu Yiyi's words.
This woman was as cunning and disgusting as ever. How could she not believe Gu Yan just because of what she said?
But after hanging up the phone, she couldn't wait to open WeChat and look at the chat box that was pinned.
She tentatively sent an emoji.
The scarlet exclamation mark that popped up in the next second shattered all her hopes.
Gu Yan really deleted her.
Why?
The suit that An Di generously put on her was wrinkled, and Jiang Yansheng squatted down with her hand over her heart.
An Di was shocked. He didn't know why Jiang Yansheng would suddenly become like this after answering the phone. He anxiously hooked the woman's arm and tried to pull her up, but Jiang Yansheng didn't move at all. It was like her legs were rooted to the ground. She didn't move at all.
An Di opened his mouth. "Jiang, why don't we not go back? Let's go to the hospital first."
Jiang Yansheng let out an "ah". When she opened her mouth, she felt that her heart, which had just brightened up, was dark.
Her throat was hoarse, and she stood up again with An Di's help.
Her stomach hurt, but her heart suddenly felt like it was being wrung violently.
With one hand pressed tightly on her lower abdomen, Jiang Yansheng's voice was cold. "We're not going back. Do you know the way to Jingjiang Haiyan?"
An Di nodded.
Jiang Yansheng's long eyelashes, which were like butterfly wings, cast a shadow on her cheeks. She casually took out the car keys from her bag and threw them to An Di.
"Let's drive there."
…
An Di drove at high speed. As long as he didn't step on the accelerator, he could feel Jiang Yansheng's cold gaze behind him. He was so scared that he was always on the verge of losing points.
He opened the rearview mirror and saw that Jiang Yansheng, who was sitting in the back seat, was completely different from before. She was aggressively drawing her eyebrows in front of the palm-sized makeup mirror as if she was on steroids. There was a row of makeup, mascara, and eyeshadow plates next to her. She didn't look like she was going to force an abdication. Instead, she looked like she was going to get married.
"Jiang, are you in a good mood now?" An Di looked at Jiang Yansheng's increasingly rosy face and stammered.
Jiang Yansheng raised her eyes and looked at An Di in the rearview mirror. Her smile was very gentle, so gentle that it was scary.
"My mood?"
"Very bad."
After answering An Di's question, she quickly put on makeup on her face. She looked left and right to make sure that no matter from which angle she looked, it was enough to completely beat up Gu Yiyi, that white lotus.
When she was putting away her makeup, she looked down and saw the dazzling diamond ring on her index finger. She suddenly felt a fire in her heart.
She endured the pain and pulled out the flawless diamond ring that fit her body perfectly.
She threw it in her makeup bag with a bunch of bottles and cans as if she was venting her anger.
Before she got out of the car, she quickly pulled out An Di's suit and threw it in the car.
An Di was puzzled. "Aren't you cold?"
Jiang Yansheng raised her chin. "No."
She took the confused An Di and directly rushed into the hall of Jing Jianghai Banquet. No one dared to stop Jiang Yansheng at the door. Instead, they all bowed their heads respectfully.
Jiang Yansheng casually grabbed a waitress whose uniform looked different from the others and pointed at the elevator.
"Did Gu Yiyi book the whole floor today?"
The waitress didn't even dare to look up at Jiang Yansheng's energetic face. Although the black narrow waist dress was a conservative design, it perfectly outlined her beautiful figure.
Jiang Yansheng was less than half a meter away from her. The waitress was experienced, but she still blushed and replied embarrassedly. "Young … Young Master Gu did book the whole place today."
Jiang Yansheng smiled like it was fake. Her long and curly eyelashes fluttered. "Which floor?"
"The seventh floor."
She stroked her hair that was blown by the cold wind at the door and smiled like a spring breeze. "When will it end? I'm not late, am I? "
The waitress dodged her eyes. "Just … just started."
After Jiang Yansheng left gracefully like a cloud, the waitress was still breathless. She looked at her back in amazement and couldn't come back to herself for a long time.
An Di, who was immaculately dressed except for his suit jacket, seemed to have been infected by Jiang Yansheng's aura. He subconsciously put on a mocking fake smile.
When he came back to himself, An Di pressed his forehead with a headache. "What happened …"
When his gaze landed on Jiang Yansheng's missing ring, leaving behind only a deep ring mark on his hand, An Di swallowed the second half of his complaint back into his stomach.
It seemed that the phone call Jiang Yansheng received before was not simple.
"Just wait at the door." The elevator reached the seventh floor. Jiang Yansheng turned to look at her makeup in the mirror. She didn't want An Di to go in with her.
"It's okay."
An Di shrugged and followed Jiang Yansheng out of the elevator. "You look like you're going to pick a fight with someone. Won't you feel safer bringing me along?"
Jiang Yansheng turned her head and curled her red lips. Her smile was much more genuine than before.
"Thank you."
An Di's smile was a little evil. "There's no need to thank me." He gave Jiang Yansheng a look. "I thought you already treated me as your sister."
Jiang Yansheng staggered in her high heels and almost lost her footing.
She almost forgot that An Di had the same preference as her in choosing a partner.
Originally, he had imagined countless scenes of him pushing open the door and entering with a thunderous momentum, but when he really reached the half-open door on the seventh floor, Jiang Yansheng's fingertips on the doorknob instantly turned cold.
Blinding flashing lights came from the crack of the door, and the screams and whistles of the crowd.
She took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open. She was shocked by the scene inside.
She had been to almost every floor of the Jingjiang Sea Banquet, but she had never seen such a clean and flawless place. Huge white feathers hung from the roof, and even the carpet was clean and pure white velvet.
On the second floor of the revolving staircase facing her, Gu Yiyi was holding onto the staircase as she slowly walked down the stairs.
Gu Yan appeared behind her. His cold and handsome face was perfect.
He seemed to walk down from the altar. He stretched out his slender fingers and gently moved.
