World 4 Chapter 49

Chapter 49.

After the episode in the room, both Tangli and Lan Rujue were a little awkward. They didn't even look at each other, and they didn't even sit directly opposite each other when eating, for fear that something would happen if they saw each other, so the two of them stayed away from each other in tacit agreement.

One is on the far right and one is on the far left.

We are all friends, so of course we don't pay attention to where we eat or sleep.

Tang Mu and Lan Mu chatted, and Jiang Chen would chat with them from time to time. Tang Li ate the shrimp fried rice in the bowl and couldn't help but mutter: "Friends of women."

She glanced at Jiang Chen a few more times and saw the two old mothers smiling brightly. She suddenly understood the advantage of being sweet. Jiang Chen took action and coaxed them so much that they had no time to talk to their daughters. No wonder Lan Rujue's mother kept praising Jiang Chen as a good boy.

Tsk, a man's mouth is a liar.

Tang Li did not forget to complain about Jiang Chen while commenting on Jiang Chen's craftsmanship with 001.

"This hero must not be handsome. His cooking skills can barely give him a passing grade. I thought Jiang Chen was just talking about it, but I didn't expect that his cooking skills were really good."

[So for a hero who loves to cook, can you tell that he is harboring bad intentions in his heart to bring down his brother? ]

"It's none of my business. It's a business struggle between the hero and his brother. I'm only responsible for promoting the relationship between the hero and heroine. Being a qualified facilitator is the main purpose of my mission."

Tangli was delicate and frail, and it was not too much to say that she was weak. Her left wrist gradually began to feel sore, which showed how much strength Lan Rujue had exerted before.

Tangli poked her head forward, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers. She looked from the far right to Lan Rujue on the far left, her eyes accusing and full of anger.

When she saw Lan Rujue drinking soup like a human being, she held her chin and coughed.

Tang Li deliberately showed her left wrist, and Tang's mother asked in shock: "My dear, what's going on?"

"Maybe I bumped into something accidentally."

Tang Mu shook her head reproachfully, "You are not serious either. Be careful and don't be careless."

"I know, I know."

Lan Rujue's eyes stayed on Tangli's body for some time, and finally turned into a sigh. Isn't she really a baby who has been raised? It turned red like this after she pinched it. It was hard not to feel guilty.

She regretted the little conflict she had with Tang Li. Now it seemed that it was extremely normal for her to hold different opinions. During work meetings, several departments could quarrel over a different point of view. They were all old foxes. Even when it comes to one's own interests, one can argue and lose elegance, let alone her and Tangli?

Because of her father's influence, she is particularly sensitive to matters of cheating, so she subconsciously believe that her thoughts and guesses are correct, and there is no room for other people's opinions in her mind.

After Lan Rujue calmed down, she began to analyze the previous problem.

She pressed her eyebrows. It seemed that she needed to find a chance to apologize to Tangli.

However, Lan Rujue was curious whether she would be push away by Tangli as usual when she approached her.

She looked at Tangli's profile with deep eyes, and her mind began to be consumed by her.

"Xiaoli, let's go see wedding dresses with your aunt later."

Tangli blinked and looked at Lan Rujue subconsciously.

The two people looked at each other, and Lan Rujue quickly smiled. Instead of expressing happiness, her smile this time was more like showing weakness, or trying to please.

To please?

It's incredible that such emotions can actually appear in Lan Rujue.

Tangli's lips curled up. Although the two of them didn't interact much, Tangli also knew Lan Rujue's temperament. To put it bluntly, it was completely stinky and tough, which could make her bow her head. Tangli suddenly felt like suddenly climbing to the top to trampled her under her feet, instantly igniting Tang Li's desire to conquer.

Tangli ate shrimp and said with a sweet face, "Okay, of course I am willing to accompany my aunt."

Jiang Chen, who had always kept a distance from Tang Li, also smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Miss Tang."

Tangli smiled and shook her head.

Jiang Chen took her smile into his eyes. This sickly eldest lady of the Tang family was beyond his expectation. It would be better if she was not so weak. Unfortunately, she is a sickly child. It was unknown if she can live to be thirty years old. Compared with her, the cold and charming Lan Rujue is even harder to get close to. Even though she is already his fiancé, this woman always has a cold face. If she hadn't met him, it would be really difficult for such a woman to marry. Strong at work, but not very easy to get along with in private. Which man can stand such a wife?

Hey, it seems that Chao Yan is the one who suits him best. She is as gentle as water. She is like a flower that always cares for him. When he thinks of her soft hands beating his back, it seems that he is not tired at all.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at Lan Rujue again, and saw that she didn't even have a smile on her face, so he couldn't help but shake his head.

If I hadn't married her to help, I really wouldn't want to live with such an iceberg beauty.

"Xiaochen."

Lan's mother called him, Jiang Chen didn't dare to think about other things and dealt with Lan's mother wholeheartedly.

Tang Li was about to go out, and Tang's mother was really worried.

She also lost her appetite for the food at hand, but she couldn't hurt her daughter, so she had to hold on and said: "Xiaoli, after all your hard work, go out and change into the cheongsam that your mother just bought for you."

"OK."

Lan Rujue looked at her back going upstairs and couldn't help asking Tang's mother, "What kind of cheongsam is it?"

"It's a cheongsam with peony embroidered on the blue background. It was made by my friend. Her ancestors had an embroidery master, so her skills are very good."

When Tang's mother talked about that cheongsam, she wanted to show off, and said, "I bought several of them. After all, Xiaoli was born so well. It would be a pity not to wear a cheongsam. Rujue, let me take you to see it. Yes, if you like, I can ask my friends to make a few for you."

She treats Lan Rujue as if she is her goddaughter. She knows that this child is kind-hearted but can't express herself. She used to think that her daughter Tangli might have more friends, but she didn't know that these two people can't play together. At the same time, Tang Mu gave up the idea.

She didn't wait for Lan Rujue's reply, and directly pulled Lan Rujue upstairs, wanting to share the exquisite cheongsam with Lan Rujue.

Why don't you call Lan's mother? It was because she was eating and listening to Jiang Chen talk about his daily interesting things.

Lan Rujue couldn't help but smile. She couldn't resist either of these two old mothers.

Tang's mother went upstairs, knocked on the door, and said, "Xiaoli, let's go in."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Mu opened the door and walked in.

Lan Rujue, who was originally calm, reacted very quickly and turned her back to Tangli. Even though she lowered her eyes and looked at the floor, the scene she just saw was still floating in her mind.

Her black hair was held on her shoulders, and her body was curvy and graceful. She was adjusting the buttons on the side of her cheongsam. The large peonies bloomed in a rich and charming way, but they were not as good as the look Tangli showed when she saw someone coming. The shy look is so beautiful that it is soul-stirring.

"Mom!"

Tang Mu smiled and said, "I knocked on the door."

Tangli glanced at Lan Rujue hurriedly and complained: "I heard it, but I didn't expect you to come in so fast."

"Mom is wrong, please don't be angry."

Tangli didn't hold back. After listening to Tang's mother, she stopped pursuing the matter.

Tang's mother looked her daughter up and down and said happily: "Xiao Li has become a big girl."

"Mom, I'm already twenty-three."

Lan Rujue was poked in the back by Tang Li. She turned around and heard Tang Li say, "Didn't you see anything?"

She shook her head.

Tangli raised her eyebrows with satisfaction and continued to discuss with her mother what hairpin she would use to tie her hair.

The curvature of Lan Rujue's lips was not obvious, it rose and fell quickly.

She really wanted to see nothing, but... her eyesight and memory are so strong that it is really difficult to forget what she just saw.

So, she told a lie.

Fortunately, she didn't question her.

...

...

...

When they went to try on wedding dresses, Jiang Chen drove the car.

Lan Rujue was sitting in the passenger seat. Lan's mother insisted on placing her daughter there, and she and Tangli were sitting behind her. Maybe Lan's mother was in a good mood today and did not say anything to Tangli urging her to get married.

Tangli was playing with her mobile phone.

The old god was chatting with a woman.

[Ms. Tang, you finally replied to me! ]

After Shi Chaoyan told Tang Li that she had done that, she did not get a reply from Tang Li. She was very uneasy because she was fighting alone and needed someone to help her solve her problems. Tang Li was her military adviser. With her appearing, Shi Chaoyan felt like he had met an angel, so Shi Chaoyan didn't want to be abandoned by Tang Li.

Shi Chaoyan was Jiang Chen's ex-girlfriend. After the two broke up, they were inseparable. Until Jiang Chen and Lan Rujue made an appointment to get married, a strange text message suddenly appeared on Shi Chaoyan's phone, and the sender was Tang Li.

Tangli told Shi Chaoyan that Jiang Chen was playing tricks on two women at the same time, and told Shi Chaoyan that she had two choices. One was to completely break up with Jiang Chen and never have any contact with him; the other was to continue to pretend not to know about this matter and stay together with Jiang Chen.

Although Jiang Chen is not very popular in the circle, this is the best man Shi Chaoyan can find, not to mention that the person holding the wedding with him is Lan Rujue. Shi Chaoyan would only choose the first option unless she was crazy.

Therefore, Shi Chaoyan became more and more successful in the character design created for her by Tang Li, and Jiang Chen was fascinated by her.

Shi Chaoyan asked Tang Li why she wanted to help her, and Tang Li just replied -

[Because I hate dog men who are not affectionate. Since you like him, then you should guard him and train/teach him. And like you, I don't want his wedding to Lan Rujue to succeed. ]

At this point, Shi Chaoyan regarded Tang Li as the same person as her, thinking that they were all people who hated Lan Rujue.

Tangli's cell phone rang. She saw the reply to Shi Chaoyan's message and pursed her lips helplessly.

[You did a good job today. Jiang Chen didn't notice it, but Lan Rujue did. Keep up the good work. ]

[Did Lan Rujue discover it? What was her reaction? ]

[Ready to investigate you. ]

[Ha? I'm not afraid! Feel free to investigate. Miss Tang, don't worry, I will never betray you to Lan Rujue. ]

Tangli stared, looked up to the sky and collapsed.

No, I just want you to confess me! If you don't tell about me, how can I fall out with the heroine and become a black person?

[You can say it. ]

[No, Miss Tang, please don't test me. I will not betray you. ]

Tangli was silent. Shi Chaoyan didn't seem to be a person with three views. If she had three views, she wouldn't choose to continue hanging out with Jiang Chen. Why did she act so upright and awe-inspiring when her own affairs came to the fore? What a positive character!

001, who was watching the crowd, finally couldn't stand it any longer and laughed crazily.

[Hahahahahahaha, Tangtang! You have today too! ]

"Does she think I'm threatening her?"

[That's right. ]

Tang Li tugged at the corners of her lips and collapsed: "I just want to be a vicious female supporting role. Why is it so difficult!"

[But Tangtang, I have a question for you. ]

"Ask."

[Why don't you just admit to Lan Rujue that you are a bad person and tell her that you already knew about Jiang Chen and Shi Chaoyan? ]

Tang Li said sternly: "Bad people never expose themselves in advance. Anyway, Lan Rujue will find out Shi Chaoyan sooner or later. By then, I will naturally be found out by her. It's like reading a suspense novel, do you like to reveal the murderer on one page, or do you like to catch the murderer slowly as the plot develops?"

[It must be the second type. ]

"Yes, so for someone like Lan Rujue, if I tell her directly, she will think I'm joking. After all, my external persona is that of a sickly beauty. There is no reason for me to plot against Lan Rujue. I can only wait. She discovered my hidden badness little by little, so that she could speechlessly admit that I am an out-and-out bad person!"

Tangli stopped chatting with Shi Chaoyan because they had already arrived at the bridal shop.

She got out of the car and waited for Lan Rujue.

"Mom, Xiaoli, you go in first."

With the car window down, Lan Rujue told them as if nothing had happened.

Tangli seemed to smell something wrong and looked thoughtfully at Jiang Chen in the driver's seat. She nodded with a smile and walked to the bridal shop while holding Lan Mu's arm.

What Tang Li didn't know was that what she said to Shi Chaoyan just now successfully stimulated Shi Chaoyan, so she kept calling Jiang Chen.

When the phone rings and the other party doesn't answer, it means that there is something wrong with him.

Lan Rujue's orange eyes were filled with warmth, and for the first time she cared about Jiang Chen, saying, "Was it your cell phone that rang just now?"

Of course it was his cell phone that was ringing, but Jiang Chen set it to silent mode after seeing the name of the caller. Although Lan Rujue could no longer hear the sound, she clearly remembered Jiang Chen's guilty look when he deliberately refused to answer.

There were only two of them in the car now. Jiang Chen smiled heartily and said, "The call from my brother is nothing. You also know that my brother is in charge of the company. He and I have nothing in common to talk about. I guess it's also... he is showing off to me what's going on in the company."

Lan Rujue sneered meaningfully, and said quietly: "You seem to be dissatisfied with your brother's management of the company?"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then he pretended to have no scheming and laughed dryly: "Rujue, you are so powerful, you can see through my heart easily. I am really not convinced by my brother, but whoever makes him the eldest son, I can only be an idle dandy."

She threw out another sentence and said: "You can come to my company to help me."

"Real?"

Jiang Chen's eyes were too bright for anyone to ignore, full of trust and excitement.

Being complimented by such a look, no one can escape.

But Lan Rujue said expressionlessly: "I'm just kidding, I can manage my company by myself without anyone else's help."

She opened the car door and walked out, breathing in the air, and could no longer smell the unpleasant smell of ambition on Jiang Chen's body.

Jiang Chen is still a bit too young, and Lan Rujue has never trusted him from the beginning, not to mention the hair and the fact that the phone rang but didn't answer the phone, which is enough to make Lan Rujue suspicious of him, so no matter how innocent Jiang Chen acted, he could not hide the shrewd calculation behind his gaze.

Lan Rujue would rather he tell her straightforwardly than pretend to be so innocent.

Hey, does he really think he is a fool?

She caught up with Tang Li and Lan Mu, leaving Jiang Chen alone in the car.

Jiang Chen beat his legs. He looked at several missed calls, frowned and looked around, then called Shi Chaoyan back.

He was about to vent his complaints when he heard Shi Chaoyan's choked voice. She said, "Jiang Chen, I had a dream. I dreamed that you married someone else and didn't want me anymore. I was so scared that I woke up immediately. Why didn't you answer my call just now? Did I interrupt your work? "

Shi Chaoyan's words blocked Jiang Chen's mouth. He persuaded Shi Chaoyan sarcastically, telling her that this was just a dream she had and it couldn't be true.

She smiled bitterly as she listened to Jiang Chen's consolation. She knew that he was a hypocritical man, but still persisted in her own way, like a moth rushing to the flame, asking for her own destruction.

Two duplicitous people, each pretending to be themselves and deceiving each other, this is their daily life.

Lan Rujue and Tangli were sitting on the sofa. Lan's mother was listening to the bridal shop staff talking with great interest. Tangli suggested, "Auntie, why not give it a try?"

Lan's mother waved her hands and said angrily: "I am so old, why am I trying on wedding dresses? You two should try it. Maybe you will want to get married tomorrow after trying it on."

Tangli glanced at Lan Rujue lazily and teased: "Sister Rujue, why don't you go try it?"

She was neither cold nor indifferent, sitting upright and said: "You can pretend that I don't exist."

Tang Li smiled reluctantly and said, "You are the protagonist, and you are getting married next month."

Lan Rujue stared at Tangli and suddenly raised her lips. She put her hands to Tangli and said, "Follow me."

"What?"

She grabbed Tangli's hand and, following her previous experience, she was more gentle this time. Lan Rujue took Tangli to another rest room and closed the door again.

Tangli looked at her in confusion, "What's going on?"

"Did you hear Jiang Chen's cell phone ring before?"

Tangli frowned and said with a smile, "Then what?"

"But he didn't answer. I just asked him and he said it was Jiang Hui. Guess whether I believe it or not. If the phone is busy now, that would be interesting."

Tangli waited for the second half of Lan Rujue's sentence, then Lan Rujue took out her cell phone and decisively dialed Jiang Chen's contact information.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently on a call. Please call again later."

Lan Rujue raised her eyebrows, looked at Tang Li, and said, "I shouldn't argue with you about whether Jiang Chen cheated on me or not. I should let you see the truth directly. In this way, we have no reason to argue."

"You are boring. He is your fiancé. Whether he cheats or not has nothing to do with me." Tangli raised her chin with dignity and crossed her arms to show her disdain for Lan Rujue.

Seeing her impatient expression, Lan Rujue changed the subject and said, "Is your hand okay?"

Tangli turned sideways to face her, "I can't die."

Lan Rujue shook her head helplessly, "You can always provoke my anger easily."

Tangli wanted to retort, but she heard her cell phone ringing. Tangli pushed away Lan Rujue who was blocking the way and muttered: "Make way."

Lan Rujue saw her graceful figure and walked to the sofa and picked up the phone. She thought Tangli would answer the call, but she frowned and hung up the call. Lan Rujue felt a little amused. What happened today? One or two people. Jiang Chen actually chose not to answer the phone when it rang. Jiang Chen didn't answer because he had something in his heart. What about Tang Li?

She took the initiative and asked, "Why didn't you answer?"

Tang Li explained calmly: "harassing phone calls."

Lan Rujue stood behind Tangli and appeared quietly.

Tangli thought that there was at least some distance between the two of them, but she didn't know that when she turned around, Lan Rujue was right here!

She scolded: "Are you a cat? You walk without making a sound."

"It's because you were so absorbed in looking at your phone that you didn't notice me."

Tangli wasn't used to Lan Rujue hanging around her all the time, and wanted to get her away, so she said, "Why hasn't your fiancé come yet? Why don't you go see him?"

"He is probably on the phone with someone else," she said.

Tang Li secretly pouted, Jiang Chen must not have answer the call just now, because Shi Chaoyan just called him.

The staff all went to accompany Lan Mu, and she and Tangli were the only ones sitting on the sofa, which was very quite.

Lan Rujue looked sideways at Tangli's wrist that was blocked by the jade bracelet. Her mind moved slightly and she said, "Tangli, I'm sorry for what happened before."

Tangli replied to Shi Chaoyan's message without raising her head.

[What's wrong with the phone call? Lan Rujue and I are together. ]

"What's up?"

Lan Rujue grabbed Tangli's wrist, slid the jade bracelet off, and said, "There are red marks here."

Tang Li, who suddenly lost one of her hands, and it became inconvenient to type, could only look at Lan Rujue and said, "Speak carefully and don't move your hands and feet."

Lan Rujue rubbed her fingertips, missing Tangli's tender touch.

She looked at Tangli quietly, which made it difficult for Tangli to do two things at once.

[Tangtang, I have to say that your heart is really strong. You are doing bad things in front of the heroine. ]

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, in the heroine's mind right now, I'm just a delicate, weak and sickly beauty. Even if I show Lan Rujue my phone, she won't believe that I'm a bad person."

[Then you try to stuff it? ]

"....No need!"

Lan Rujue said: "I will give you medicine tonight."

"Um??"

When did the heroine become so proactive? She scares me by taking the initiative!

"No need..."

"Needs."

This is not a question of whether it is necessary or not, but that you should remain aloof!
