The days of living with vinegar

"Why, my parents/forced you?"

Before Chen Jiangjiang finished speaking, the other party interrupted her in time: "It's not like that, cousin, I'm still saying the same thing as before, not everyone in this world gets married for love, and not all Everyone can find love."

Chen Jiangjiang was speechless for a moment, but the other party said: "Cousin, you and your aunt and uncle have not seen each other for a long time, it won't work if this continues, they are all family members whose blood is thicker than water, why don't you take advantage of this time to reconcile."

"To be honest, I'm not very angry. They don't want to talk to me."

Chen Jiangjiang shrugged needlessly, wanting to skip this topic, but the person on the other end of the phone comforted him in a deep voice: "Cousin, there is one thing that Auntie said is right, you are really naive, it is not a big deal to bow your head and apologize to your family thing……"

"But I don't think I did something wrong..." Chen Jiangjiang interrupted her excitedly.

"Cousin! It's not a matter of who is right or wrong, it's a matter of attitude. Uncles and aunts are not young anymore. These days they often have colds and fevers. In the future, there will only be more or less physical accidents. Cousin, there is no regret medicine in the world. At that time, you will really have no place to cry, I hope you don't do things that make yourself regret for the rest of your life."

The person on the other end of the phone took a breath at this point, and continued: "This engagement is not going to be a big deal, it's just a meal for the two families, so time is a little tight, but no matter what, I really hope that cousin you You can attend, at your house, at 06:30 tomorrow night."

After the cousin finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone, leaving Chen Jiangjiang alone for a while.

"what happened?"

Nalan Rongxin looked at Chen Jiangjiang's lost face, and couldn't help asking.

Chen Jiangjiang sighed, then smiled helplessly: "My cousin and my childhood sweetheart are getting engaged."

Nalan Rongxin looked at the expression on Chen Jiangjiang's face, frowned slightly, and asked word by word: "Do you have a crush on that childhood sweetheart?"

"What?" Chen Jiangjiang suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and looked at Nalan Rongxin in disbelief, "Did I just say something that misunderstood you, how could you think that I have a crush on my childhood sweetheart? "

Nalan Rongxin nodded slightly, paused, raised her head again, and asked uncertainly, "So, do you like your cousin?"

"What the hell?! She's my sister, what are you thinking, we close relatives can't fall in love!" Chen Jiangjiang looked at Nalan Rongxin dumbfounded.

"Then why do you look sad and distressed?"

After hearing Nalan Rongxin's questioning, Chen Jiangjiang was silent for a moment before answering her carefully: "Did I tell you about my parents wanting me to marry my childhood sweetheart?"

Nalan Rongxin shook her head.

Chen Jiangjiang continued: "My parents ran a company, and my childhood sweetheart's parents also ran a company. At that time, my parents' company was not stable. My parents saw that we were very close since we were young, so they wanted to arrange for us to get married. The so-called marriage, in order to allow the company to develop steadily."

"and then?"

"Then I didn't want to, and I had a huge quarrel with my family. They even said things like denying me as a daughter. Although they might be angry words, I took it seriously anyway, and I didn't use any more money from them. Alone out there."

When Chen Jiangjiang said this, he tilted his head and smiled faintly at Nalan Rongxin: "Actually, I don't think it's out of anger. If my cousin hadn't played around with it, running between my parents and me, we might have really Severed family ties."

Nalan Rongxin looked at Chen Jiangjiang's smile, and her eyes couldn't help being stung by this pretending to be free and easy. She asked in surprise: "Aren't you modern people very open, pursuing freedom, and loving children? Why are your parents so angry? Obsessed with marriage?"

"Because the company is their life, and they value the company more than their own life, so what am I compared to the company?"

When Chen Jiangjiang said this, he nodded his head heavily: "Actually, I can understand that a company that I started from scratch and managed to start will really do whatever it takes to save the company when it faces a crisis, but the way of sacrificing my daughter, I can't agree more."

"Besides, they are targeting my cousin again now, which really makes me feel very angry. How can there be such a person?"

Nalan Rongxin thought for a while, raised her eyes seriously, and replied, "From the conversation you had with your cousin just now, I think this may be your cousin's own thoughts."

"How is it possible? She doesn't like my bamboo horse either. The two of them didn't get along when they were young, and they often quarreled. I and Zhuma are neighbors. We often played together when we were young. As a result, my cousin would run into him every time she came to our house. My cousin really hated him, and she hated him so much that she seldom came to my house to play with me."

Chen Jiangjiang was indignantly recalling what happened when he was a child, and Nalan Rongxin who was beside him helped to analyze: "But it was also a thing when I was a child. As people grow up, their thoughts will change."

Chen Jiangjiang shook her head with an expression of disbelief: "Anyway, I don't believe it. My cousin must have been brainwashed by my parents. She even invited me to their engagement banquet. I don't know what to say." .”

"Then are you going to go?"

The advice that the cousin said was still lingering in Chen Jiangjiang's mind, after hearing Nalan Rongxin's questioning, Chen Jiangjiang hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Let's go and have a look, I'm really worried. "

Nalan Rongxin nodded and turned to pour water, but Chen Jiangjiang suddenly called her: "By the way, if I go tomorrow, can you go with me?"

"Isn't it appropriate for me to attend your family's banquet?" Nalan Rongxin asked uncertainly.

Chen Jiangjiang blinked, and answered her with certainty: "Why is it inappropriate? It is very suitable. Besides, my parents are very face-saving people. If you go, they will try their best not to scold me. In front of others, they always have to pretend to be loving parents."

Nalan Rongxin laughed when she heard the words, and stared at Chen Jiangjiang with piercing eyes: "Then, in what capacity should I go to see your parents?"

"by……"

Chen Jiangjiang gritted her teeth and thought about it, and felt that no matter whether it was a partner, a friend or a girlfriend, there were shortcomings and inappropriateness in all aspects, and she thought for a long time before responding: "Well... just adapt to the situation, what will happen when you see it? , anyway, what the hell are you talking about!"

While talking, Nalan Rongxin had already poured herself a cup of hot water. She slowly blew on the hot air, drank it in small sips, rolled her eyes on Chen Jiangjiang's face, and said, "You owe me once."

"it is good!"

Chen Jiangjiang agreed without hesitation, and approached Nalan Rongxin with a playful smile: "In the future, if you need help, just tell me what you want, even if it's going up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire, I have no objection."

"Really?" Nalan Rongxin raised an eyebrow.

"Fake." Chen Jiangjiang saw that although Nalan Rongxin raised his eyebrows, but his eyes were extremely serious, as if he would really let him go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire in the future, he hurriedly ran away with a smile.

"Anyway, I took it seriously."

Nalan Rongxin said something seriously to Chen Jiangjiang's back, Chen Jiangjiang pretended not to hear, and went outside to sort out the samples.

***

In the afternoon of the second day, the two of them closed the door of the studio early, and were busy picking out new clothes and gifts in the mall, then went to have their hair permed, put on makeup, and tidied themselves up in a docile, quite human-like manner.

Nalan Rongxin looked at Chen Jiangjiang, who was as beautiful as a flower in the mirror, and couldn't help asking: "We're going to the engagement banquet dressed up like this, won't we steal the limelight from your cousin?"

"How come, my cousin looks good, she has a lot of aura." Chen Jiangjiang said, tucking her hair behind her ears, "Besides, it's not a wedding, it's just an engagement banquet, and all the family members are here, everyone It's not that I haven't seen what I look like, but it's just that I have a little more energy to clean up."

As Chen Jiangjiang spoke, he glanced at Nalan Rongxin in the mirror, and said with great envy: "It's you, it's really possible to steal my cousin's limelight, but even if you don't dress up and go in plain sight, you will be The most beautiful scenery on the dining table, there is no way, right, who made you look so good-looking? Anyway, you are going to steal the limelight, so it is better to dress up and let my parents see Look how wonderful my friend is!"

Nalan Rongxin laughed lightly, and patted the back of Chen Jiangjiang's head: "Looking at your murderous look, if you don't know, you might think that you are going to attend some kind of palace banquet."

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, Chen Jiangjiang made a very contrived expression in front of the mirror, and pointed at Nalan Rongxin sticking to the orchid: "Empress, do you think the concubine can replace her today?"

"Concubine Jiang, if you want the Queen's position, I am willing to give it to you."

Nalan Rongxin acted very cooperatively with her, Chen Jiangjiang laughed, and was about to continue talking, when a voice not far away reached his ears very clearly.

"Look, are those two beauties actors? They are actually acting in front of the mirror."

"The actor is worthy of being an actor. He looks so beautiful, but he doesn't seem to be popular. He has never seen it on TV. He should be an [-]th-tier actor."

"What kind of actor? How can today's actresses work so hard, and still act in front of the mirror while shopping? It's obvious that they are two lunatics who are too deep into the drama..."

Hearing this, Chen Jiangjiang stuck out her tongue at Nalan Rongxin, and reached out to pinch her neck to show that she was really a lunatic.

"Okay, stop making trouble, let's go, it's rare for you to go home, let's not be late."

As Nalan Rongxin said, he grabbed Chen Jiangjiang's wrist, turned her around, and pushed her back to force her to move forward.

Chen Jiangjiang reluctantly walked forward, while looking at his mobile phone, he said helplessly: "What, it's only 05:30, don't be so anxious?!"
