It was drizzling, and in the cafe next to the supermarket, soft music flowed out.
"I just got here not long ago, and I haven't adjusted to the jet lag yet. I wanted to rest first and dress up before going to find you tomorrow. I didn't expect to meet you here."
The blonde Marilyn looked at Jiaming and smiled. Her voice was as soft as ever, like a woman from Jiangnan.
Of course, it was the ancient Jiangnan, not the modern Jiangnan.
"According to the time here, you should have taken off at around seven o 'clock last night. You arrived in Beijing in the morning and then came here. You booked a VIP room at the Huajing Hotel.
You're here with Mr. Joseph, aren't you? "
Jiaming took a sip of fresh orange juice and casually told her their itinerary. Marilyn's eyes widened in surprise, and there was a smile in her eyes that came from the bottom of her heart. "Mhmm, you … have been watching us?"
"It's almost the 21st century. Computers can do a lot of things, especially in the UA … Did you know?
The FBA has a record of you guys. Because the result of your last trip was a bit scary, and this time you guys are coming to China, which is a big deal, they immediately reported it to the higher-ups.
Oh yeah, I even saw photos of Heidi winning several singing competitions. "
He said as he reached out and stroked Heidi, who was eating ice cream. As a mixed-race child, the little girl did not inherit her mother's blonde hair. Instead, her hair was black and smooth.
Feeling the hand on her face, the little girl shook her head impatiently. She stuffed her cheeks with ice cream and glared at him fiercely.
"Rude!
A gentleman doesn't touch a lady's hair! "
Heidi was angry, and the consequences were serious.
Unfortunately, no one in front of him seemed to understand the seriousness of this situation. Jiaming just smiled, and his hand still stayed on the little head that was trying to beg him. Marilyn looked around vigilantly and said worriedly, "It won't … bring you trouble, right?"
"Don't worry, if we were in the UA, there might be a possibility of being monitored, but this is China. The FBA is not that powerful. Most importantly, I'm just a high school student."
After touching the little girl's hair, Jiaming patted her pink cheeks and pinched her cheeks before letting go, making Heidi angry.
Damn it, he has become so annoying in three years!
He's not gentle at all. I thought of him in the UA, humph!
After hearing Jiaming's words, Marilyn was relieved. She looked at the little friction between him and Heidi, and said with a smile, "Heidi often in New York, she misses you a lot, of course … I miss you too.."
"Heidi't, I miss.
I just miss … Chinese cotton candy! "
After a pause, Marilyn switched from English to Chinese. Obviously, she didn't want Heidi to know about this. "After returning to China, I participated in some of the family's affairs. Of course, it had nothing to do with the mafia. I was in contact with some of the family's relatively clean businesses. Because these things were basically handled by Joseph before, I served as one of his assistants. Well, I think you know about this."
.. "" Of course. You've done a good job in the past two years. "
Marilyn smiled. She reached out and fiddled with a strand of blonde hair on her forehead. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Then … I think you also know that Joseph is pursuing me. My family … Well, I mean my father, also wants me to marry him. Of course, it's just a suggestion …"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiaming with a smile. Jiaming took a sip of fresh orange juice and nodded with a smile. "The FBA's file gives Mr. Joseph a high evaluation. Three years ago, your father came to pick you up. The man beside him should be him. This shows that he has a high position in your family. I probably know that as early as seven or eight years ago, he began to pursue you. He seems to be a good man, if you like …"
"I don't like him." Her eyes softened. "I want to tell you this myself."
Jiaming leaned back in his chair and said, "Are you determined to think of that man until you die?
Although I understand, I think it's boring. "
"I forgot about Tang," Marilyn said with a smile.
Marilyn said with a smile, "Right now, I just want to watch Heidi grow up peacefully, and … I made a promise to you."
"Oh."
Jiaming whistled. He naturally remembered the promise. "Whether you're mine or not, I'll always be yours." "As long as you need me, I'll come to you immediately." Although he didn't care much about it, as a man, he still felt an indescribable temptation in the face of a mature and beautiful woman in front of him.
At this moment, Heidi protested, "Rude!
I've just started learning Chinese. You're not allowed to speak in Chinese. "
Marilyn shrugged and smiled apologetically. She switched back to English and said, "In order not to arouse suspicion, we didn't know what you were doing or where you were living in the past two years.
Gu, how can we find you? "
Hearing this, Heidi stopped venting her anger on the ice cream. She put down the spoon and said, "Aren't you going to the hotel with us?
Then Mommy and I will go to your house, okay? "
Three years ago, when the two of them were hunted, they lived in the house left by Jiaming's parents for nearly a month. However, the mother and daughter were now the focus of attention, so naturally, they couldn't live there anymore. After Marilyn's explanation, Jiaming looked at the time and smiled. "That won't do. Besides, it's late now. I should go back. How about this, have a good night's sleep tonight. I'll come to you tomorrow, okay?"
"You … But we've only seen each other for a short while …" Heidi looked at him, her eyes almost red. After sitting for so long, she was just angry. "Don't lie to me!"
Although Marilyn only nodded and didn't say anything, her eyes were still fixed on Jiaming with a complicated expression.
Both mother and daughter probably didn't feel good about having to part after a simple meeting.
After saying goodbye at the entrance of the coffee shop, the mother and daughter held an umbrella and walked to the hotel not far away. Jiaming got on the bus and returned to the Sacred Heart College.
It was already six o 'clock in the evening, and the sky was getting dark. Shasha should have cooked dinner at home. However, Lingjing had been rehearsing at school these days, so she had to cook by herself.
When he walked downstairs, the door of the video game room was crowded with people. On one side, there were young residents led by Qiang and Shui, and on the other side, there were more than ten members of the Yongsheng Gang. They were cursing and confronting each other, completely blocking the stairs. Jiaming sighed and began to walk in through the crowd. "Sorry, excuse me, excuse me, thank you, let me in, thank you …"
Carrying two bags of things from the supermarket, Jiaming poked at the crowd in front of him. Two members of the Yongsheng Gang impatiently stepped aside, but the third person was shouting and dancing. He waved his right hand, and the back of his hand suddenly slapped a glass can bought by Jiaming. He immediately turned his head and said, "Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me … Excuse me, boy, what do you want?"
"Uh, sorry …"
Jiaming raised the bag in his hand and was about to explain when Qiang roared, "What the f * ck are you so arrogant for? Don't you know that a good dog doesn't block the way?
He lives here … Jiaming, you go in.
I'll see who dares to touch him! "
"Yeah, I'll see who the f * ck dares to touch him …"
In the eyes of these people, Jiaming had always been an honest person. For a moment, the people behind him all roared. After all, the Yongsheng Gang didn't have enough people, and they were scared to death. Jiaming carried the bag and took the opportunity to pass through the crowd. "Thank you, thank you …"
When he went upstairs and opened the door, he heard the two sides shouting and bluffing again. This kind of fight probably wouldn't happen. The Yongsheng Gang didn't have many people, so they didn't dare to fight casually. After all, this side had more people, so they didn't want to make things worse.
When he walked into the door, he smelled the fragrance of cooking. Shasha was watching TV in the living room. She asked, "What's wrong?
Why are you back so late?
Haha, it's very noisy downstairs. Do you think they'll fight? "
"Sorry, I met two acquaintances and was delayed.
Haha, those fools downstairs won't fight. Don't worry.
By the way, why is Lingjing home so early?
Didn't you rehearse today? "Jiaming said with a smile as he put down the bag.
"Shh."
Shasha turned her eyes to the kitchen and raised her index finger to her mouth, making a shushing gesture. "Don't talk about rehearsing. Lingjing is in a bad mood. Hmph, those guys at school … and Tan Suyan, I'm going to argue with them tomorrow!"
"What's wrong?"
Just as he was wondering, Lingjing, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with a bowl of food. She looked up and smiled. "Jiaming, you're back. Get ready to eat."
But the smile was a bit forced. After that, she turned back to the kitchen. Jiaming quickly followed.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing …"
"Don't lie. Tell me, I'll help you deal with it, okay?"
He reached out and grabbed Lingjing's shoulder, but Lingjing still shook her head. "No need …" When she walked to the gas stove, her body was hugged from behind by Jiaming. "I don't necessarily want to interfere with your privacy, but we're a family. Although we're still young, I'm your husband and you're my wife. I don't want to see you unhappy. Can you tell me?
Is it because of the performance? "
"I … Wah …" After hearing Jiaming's words, Lingjing leaned on his shoulder and finally couldn't help but cry. After a while, Just now quietly said, "Jiaming, they said I'm not good at dancing and won't let me dance … Now the third-grade Tan Suyan is leading the dance. Jiaming, I've been rehearsing for so long. Miss Fang even said that I'm good at dancing. How can they do this …"
"What, what?
There's only more than a week until the performance, and they actually changed the lead? "Jiaming frowned and said in disbelief.
Indeed, when it came to dancing, Tan Suyan was indeed much more professional than Lingjing. However, from Jiaming's point of view, whether it was playing the piano or dancing, Lingjing had a spirituality that others couldn't reach. Of course, maybe he was selfish and didn't see it objectively enough. However, Lingjing's efforts during this period of time were well known. It wasn't a super professional dance performance, so it was really difficult for this kind of thing to happen at this time.
Could it be … Dongfang Lu deliberately did this because he failed to pursue Lingjing … It doesn't seem like it …
"It must be Tan Suyan who secretly used her connections."
At the kitchen door, Shasha said bitterly, "She can't beat me in the volleyball team. She knows that Lingjing is my best friend, so she deliberately did this. It is said that the person in charge of this dance is very close to her, and the teacher in charge of the dance is also related to her. The student union president named Dongfang Lu even argued for Lingjing, but in the end, I don't know why, but he still made this decision.
It's disgusting. I have to ask them tomorrow and see what they can say! "
