Qiao Mucheng spoke suddenly, and the two women fell silent instantly, waiting for him to express his opinion.
Kang Yatong looked at him expectantly, she changed from her usual calm and composed appearance to that of a nervous girl.
Qiao Mucheng turned to look at Kang Yatong, with a trace of apology in his eyes: "I won't disturb your family's birthday party. But I will prepare a big gift for you to make up for my absence."
Kang Yatong's gaze instantly dimmed, and she even looked a little aggrieved.
"Brother Mucheng, I don't want any big gifts. As long as you can come to participate, it is the best gift. If you don't like too much excitement, it can be just a few of us, or...just the two of us."
The eyes in Jiang Luyao's heart were almost rolled to the sky, what is this?Openly asking her husband to a private meeting in front of her main wife?
"Miss Kang, do you think I'm dead?" Jiang Lu asked distantly.
Kang Yatong glanced at her, as if she suddenly remembered her existence, and said with a harmless smile, "If you want to come together, of course I welcome it."
Jiang Luyao was speechless, but she pretended to be quite similar. People who don't know the truth may really think that she is so innocent.
Before she could speak, Qiao Mucheng refused again: "No need, I do have an appointment with someone else next Thursday, so it's inconvenient to refuse. Let's talk about the birthday celebration later."
Jiang Luyao was secretly happy, he actually followed his own words, but maybe he didn't want to go at first, and I just gave him a step, so he went along with the flow.
Whatever the reason, at least the result was what she wanted.
Zhuang Huici deliberately wanted to squeeze her out and embarrass her, so she wouldn't let her get what she wanted!
Kang Yatong wanted to say something more, but Kang Sicheng took the first step and said: "Yatong, since Mucheng said something is wrong, don't make things difficult for him, who made you a step behind others?"
On the surface, he was trying to persuade his daughter, but in fact the meaning of the mockery could not be more obvious: he was implying that Jiang Luyao had robbed his daughter's husband.
Jiang Luyao could hear it, but he didn't intend to fight back. Instead, his mood improved a lot. Even the tasteless food just now became delicious.
After all, she is the winner now, and she felt extremely happy when she saw that the members of the Kang family could only criticize Sang Huai angrily.
Zhuang Huici gave Jiang Luyao a resentful look, then turned to comfort Kang Yatong and said, "Don't worry, it's yours, and no one can take it away. But if it wasn't yours, and you managed to get it, it's just a mirror image, sooner or later." One day it will be returned to others.”
Hearing the second half of her sentence, Jiang Luyao's hand holding the fork froze inexplicably.
Looking through the mirror?...
She suddenly remembered her original plan. After getting what she wanted from Qiao Mucheng, she would immediately leave him and terminate the marriage that should not have started.
It's true that from the beginning, I didn't intend to follow him to the end.
But after getting along for this period of time, even though she didn't want to admit it, it was still hard not to notice the change in her state of mind.
If she thinks about the day when she will leave in the future, she will feel empty in her heart, as if something is missing.
Not wanting Zhuang Huici to see through her thoughts, she still had an impeccable smile on her face, and took a sip of wine calmly, as if the person in front of her didn't exist.
Afterwards, no matter what insinuations Zhuang Huici's mother and daughter said, she just pretended not to hear them, and didn't say another word to them.
After this long dinner finally ended, the reception was not far away.
Cui Shi'an finally delivered a high-sounding speech as the end, and the guests were ready to leave.
Jiang Luyao found Lei Guanting, asked for his contact information, made an appointment to visit him next Thursday, and sent him out of the banquet hall.
Qiao Mucheng stayed by her side without saying a word. She ignored him, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to her. The atmosphere was more subtle than when they came.
On the way back to Qiao's Bieyuan, the car was quiet at first.
Because he didn't drive the window, Jiang Luyao drank a lot of wine before, and when he was bored in a relatively sealed environment, he became a little drunk, but he still couldn't hold back, and asked, "Why did you reject your sister's birthday invitation? "
Qiao Mucheng raised his eyebrows, "Good sister?"
Jiang Luyao sneered: "Brother Mu Cheng, what is a good sister?"
Qiao Mucheng gave her a meaningful look, smiled, and didn't answer her question.
"Or...it's not a younger sister at all, but your old friend?"
Qiao Mucheng obviously didn't intend to continue this topic, he leaned on his seat and raised his head slightly, and simply closed his eyes.
"We'll talk about it when we get home." He only said these four words.
Jiang Luyao snorted, and glanced at the driver in front, because he was afraid that outsiders would know.
She would like to see what this guy can say after returning home!
When we returned to Qiao's Bieyuan, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the servants had already rested, only Ah Qi was still waiting in the living room.
"Sir and Madam, you are back." Ah Qi greeted her.
Jiang Luyao tore off the shawl from his shoulders, put it in Ah Qi's hand, and said deliberately: "Ah Qi, please avoid it for a while, your husband is going to tell me some of his past unknown stories, with you here , I’m afraid he won’t be able to speak out.”
Ah Qiyi hadn't reacted for a while, her mouth was half-opened in astonishment, "Huh?"
Qiao Mucheng also took off his coat and handed it to him, and then ordered: "Don't avoid it. Madam is drunk, help her back to her room to rest."
After he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and go upstairs, but Jiang Luyao grabbed him: "That's not what you said on the road just now."
Qiao Mucheng raised his eyebrows, "What did I say?"
"You can talk about it when you go home!" Jiang Luyao said, staring at him.
Qiao Mucheng smiled slightly: "Then I'm done talking now."
"You!" Jiang Luyao was furious, this guy... dare to play tricks on her!
Qiao Mucheng gave Ah Qi another compliment, then went upstairs and returned to his room on his own.
Jiang Luyao sat down on the sofa angrily, not intending to go back to his room to sleep at all.
Ah Qi walked over cautiously and asked, "Madam, it's getting late, you should rest."
Jiang Luyao glared at him and asked, "Do you think I can fall asleep now?"
Ah Qi groaned secretly in her heart, the two of them seemed to be fine before going out, why did they get into an awkward fight after a reception?
It was simply a fire at the city gate, which brought disaster to the fish in the pond, and every time it was his fish that got unlucky!
Since the wife refuses to go to bed, he can only accompany her, otherwise she can't be left here alone to sulk, right?
Jiang Luyao sat alone for a while, then suddenly said, "Ah Qi, go get me some wine."
She can only be regarded as a slightly drunk state at this time. She is not drunk when she is drunk, and she is not very sober if she is sober. It is better to get drunk to the end and wake up tomorrow. Maybe what happened today can be forgotten. up.
Ah Qi glanced at the grandfather clock in the corner, and asked hesitantly: "But it's very late now, sir said you're already drunk, you better stop drinking."
Jiang Luyao was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he just stared at him and asked, "Do you want to take it?"
Seeing the dangerous look in her eyes, Ah Qi immediately changed his words: "What kind of wine does Madam want to drink?"
"whisky!"
Ah Qi was embarrassed again, the wife opened her mouth to ask for such a strong drink, and if the husband found out, he would definitely be scolded again.
Seeing that Ah Qi was still hesitating, Jiang Luyao urged: "Why don't you go quickly?"
Ah Qi gritted her teeth, anyway, being scolded in the morning and scolded in the evening is the same.What's more, in his eyes, the madam is much scarier than the husband when she gets angry, it's better not to offend her.
Bringing wine to Jiang Luyao as quickly as possible, Ah Qi found an excuse and slipped away.
Jiang Luyao was happy and quiet, drinking wine in silence.
After a few glasses of wine, her thoughts began to uncontrollable.
Everything that happened at the reception kept popping up in front of her eyes, and the scene that appeared the most was Qiao Mucheng's focused eyes when he helped her tidy her hair.
She closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously, trying to put all these thoughts aside, but found that it was all futile.
Things seemed to be developing in the direction she least wanted to see, she thought to herself, she was actually attracted to a man who ruined her family?
But whenever she thought of her father's kind face, she hated herself extremely.
She felt that she was going to be driven crazy by this conflicted state of mind.
A bottle of whiskey soon bottomed out, and her consciousness gradually became a little unclear.
"Ah Qi! Bring me another drink!" she shouted loudly.
Ah Qi secretly watched her from a distance, so naturally she didn't dare to take any more wine, otherwise, if she drank any more, the wife would probably suffer from alcohol poisoning.
He waited until Jiang Luyao was completely drunk, then went to inform the husband and carried her back to the room to sleep.
However, at the corner of the stairs that he couldn't see, Qiao Mucheng stood quietly under the dim light, and he had been looking at it for a long time.
Jiang Luyao yelled a few times unconsciously, but when no one responded, he gradually quieted down.
Not long after, her body limply tilted to one side, the wine glass in her hand slipped to the ground, and she soon fell asleep.
Ah Qi, who was waiting by the side, ran over quickly, but happened to meet Qiao Mucheng who was walking down the stairs slowly.
"Ah Qi, it's none of your business here, go and rest." Qiao Mucheng said lightly.
Ah Qi was worried at first that he would blame him, but when he heard this, he immediately ran away as if he had been pardoned.
Qiao Mucheng walked to the sofa, squatted down next to Jiang Luyao, and saw that although she was drunk to the point of unconsciousness, her brows were still slightly frowned, obviously not very happy in her dream.
He couldn't help reaching out and smoothing the center of her brow, then leaned over and kissed her forehead lightly.
Kang Yatong looked at him expectantly, she changed from her usual calm and composed appearance to that of a nervous girl.
Qiao Mucheng turned to look at Kang Yatong, with a trace of apology in his eyes: "I won't disturb your family's birthday party. But I will prepare a big gift for you to make up for my absence."
Kang Yatong's gaze instantly dimmed, and she even looked a little aggrieved.
