She Belongs To Me

As the weather forecast shows, the temperature is getting lower day by day.

On the day of the ancestor worship, after midnight, Tong's car parked downstairs to pick up Jiang Ci.

There was a light knock on the door, Jiang Ci opened the door, and Lu Xingxue stood outside the door.

"You haven't slept yet?" Jiang Ci was slightly surprised.

Lu Xingxue's voice was laziness: "I just finished reading the acquisition plan. There are car lights downstairs, so I thought they were here to pick you up. Are you packed?"

He wanted to stay in his hometown for one night, so Jiang Ci had to pack some simple clothes to accompany him.

"It's almost there." Jiang Ci let Lu Xingxue in, and continued to do what he did before, putting some miscellaneous small things into the storage bag and stuffing them into the suitcase.

Lu Xingxue quietly watched her busy, and finally reminded: "It may snow today, dress warmly."

"I know." Jiang Ci closed the suitcase and thought for a while: "...After the purchase meeting, you will see the situation. If the weather is bad, you don't need to rush there. Anyway, the sacrifice will be over during the day."

Lu Xingxue: "Okay."

There is nothing else to tell, just go out for a day, Jiang Ci put on his coat: "Then I'm going down, you should rest early."

The collar of her coat was half drooping, Lu Xingxue noticed it, stepped forward to smooth it out for her, and smiled lightly: "I'll take you downstairs."

Jiang Ci: "...Oh."

The driver picked up Jiang Ci and returned to Songling Road to pick up Jiang Lin.The Tong family's old house is located in an ancient town four or five hours away from G City. Tong Tingkai invested a lot of money in rebuilding the family ancestral hall. This is a new ancestral hall that was completed and worshiped the ancestors. It was very grand, and he had gone back two days earlier.Since Tong Zhenni's mother passed away in the old house, Jiang Lin was always unwilling to stay longer, so they delayed their departure until today.

As for Tong Zhenni, ever since she had a big fight with Tong Tingkai, she often stays out at night and cannot communicate. No one is sure whether she will show up during this ancestor worship.

Jiang Lin led Tong Junhao into the car, and Tong Junhao happily rushed towards Jiang Ci: "Sister!"

Jiang Lin shook off the blanket behind him: "Haohao, come and sleep."

"I'm not sleepy, I want to play with my sister." Tong Junhao took out a stack of pictures from his pocket and shook his head: "This has become popular in our school recently. Look, I have so many! Do you want me to teach you?" How do you play?"

Jiang Ci: "Go to sleep with your mother, I'm going to sleep too."

When Tong Junhao heard it, Kenyi said, "No, you are not allowed to sleep, you have to play with me!"

The drive was still long, and Jiang Lin was not in a hurry to urge Tong Junhao. She asked Jiang Ci, "Lu Xingxue said he came over after the meeting?"

Jiang Ci patted Tong Junhao away: "That's what I said, but I let her see the situation for herself. If it snows, don't come. It's not safe to drive on a snowy night."

Tong Junhao complained: "Mom!! Look at my sister! She pushed me!"

Jiang Lin ignored her son and muttered, "It's just a matter of time. You said that her acquisition meeting is not just an excuse?"

Jiang Ci: "May I ask her assistant for you?"

Tong Junhao was ignored and let go of his voice: "Play with me, play with me, play with me!!!"

"Don't make noise!" Jiang Lin said to Jiang Ci angrily after finishing Tong Junhao's training, "Don't give me too much yin and yang. Could it be that you are the one who has the face when she goes back to worship her ancestors? ——I hope it will snow today. If she doesn't show up, at least there will be an excuse!"

Jiang Ci stuffed the earplugs into her ears, and told Jiang Lin with practical actions that the chat between mother and daughter had come to an end.

Tong Junhao was about to yell again, but Jiang Lin grabbed him without saying a word, and covered his head and face with a blanket.Tong Junhao was first coldly rejected by his sister, and now forced to sleep by his mother. Suddenly, the young master became angry, kicked his legs, struggled and howled in one go, and threw the picture in the car.

The earplugs work well, but they can't help the excitement at such a close distance.Jiang Ci flicked the pictures that fell in the clothes room, and moved to sit by the car door.

The streets in the early morning are very quiet, and the buildings near and far are completely dark.

Jiang Ci didn't like Lu Xingxue's way of talking with a smile just now, such a gentle and decent person took her as a capital to show off.

Tong's family is a big family in the town, and the red carpet was spread from the ancestral hall to the entrance of the town, and the firecrackers and drums were noisy all day long.In the evening, the gloomy sky finally drifted with fine snow.

The ancestral hall was full of voices, and cups were being exchanged on the flowing water tables.

According to seniority, Jiang Ci sat at the same table with Tong Zhenni.Tong Zhenni came by herself, a day earlier than Jiang Ci and the others.

In the first ten years of Jiang Ci's life, she was labeled as an illegitimate daughter and was not recognized by the Tong family, so even though Jiang Lin is now a legitimate Mrs. Tong, she still has no sense of belonging to the Tong family.Especially when she was sitting with Tong Zhenni, when others told her to eat more, there was an indelible embarrassment in her voice.

"...Yes, it's the president of Forest. Oh, she's very busy. I had to come over after the meeting, but it was dark and snowing, so we didn't allow her to come." Jiang Lin was at the next table, talking about these things Intentionally or unintentionally, the volume was released, and everyone sitting nearby could hear it.

Tong Zhenni was about to stare at Jiang Ci with a smile, but she almost wrote sarcasm on her face: Lu Xingxue made it clear that she was too lazy to socialize, so she just found an excuse to fool you, and you will use it here to fool everyone.

"Sister, is she really not coming?" Opposite Jiang Ci, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl couldn't hide her disappointment, "I saw your photos on Weibo last time, and told my classmates that they didn't believe it! I still want to take this photo Bring back more photos so that they can be convinced."

It's not very annoying for a girl to speak out so bluntly, Jiang Ci nodded and said, "She's busy today, go—"

"Impolite! You still have to keep asking if people say you can't come, are you deliberately embarrassing others?" The girl's mother patted the girl on the back of the head, and Jiang Ci's explanation was interrupted immediately.

Tong Zhenni shrugged at Jiang Ci: Look, I am not the only one who thinks this way.

It's a pity that Jiang Ci is not interested in watching her twitch.

The girl's mother: "Also, don't go online in the future, don't show me those messy things all day long, do you hear me?"

The girl was not convinced: "How could I be rude? I called her sister! And didn't you read the Weibo last time, and you said that sparrows fly—"

Her mother stared: "Tong Xinyu! You still talk!?"

The girl froze for a moment, knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, her face flushed red, and she didn't dare to look up at Jiang Ci.

Tong Zhenni smirked, and everyone else in the room had subtle expressions.Jiang Ci stared in all directions, and ate the food in his bowl calmly.

She understands, but she doesn't care about it.

The ancestral hall is brightly lit, and the tiles on the roof have already been covered with snow, and the snow has grown unknowingly.

Tong Tingkai sent red envelopes to the juniors several times in a row, and then withdrew the banquet, Mahjong was on the table, and Jiang Ci took the opportunity to sneak back to the old house.

There was heating in the room, and after Jiang Ci took a shower, she was sitting by the window blowing her hair, when Tong Zhenni's fierce voice suddenly sounded in the snowy night.

"I said don't pick it up, don't pick it up, you insist on it, it's dirty, and it's not worth a few dollars even if you sell it. I have been a little tight in the past two months, but I have also sent you money. Don't be reluctant to use it, you know. have no idea!?"

Downstairs, Tong Zhenni struggled to hold a large stack of cardboards, pressed them with her chin, and left one free hand to support the rickety old lady: "Go slowly! The ground is full of snow!"

The old lady was carrying a plastic bag, shaking it in her hand, like a packed lunch box.

"Nini, Second Grandma knows you are filial, but how can she use your money? When we Nini are going to do something big, Second Grandma will give you a big red envelope."

Tong Zhenni: "Who wants your money! Worry about it, yourself..."

Jiang Ci didn't bother to listen, but at this moment the phone rang, and she mistakenly saw that Lu Xingxue was calling.

Jiang Ci went to the ancestral hall to pick up Lu Xingxue.

Lu Xingxue came to the town and followed the red carpet to find the ancestral hall. He didn't know the way behind, so he called Jiang Ci.

A few children who refused to go home were still playing snowball fights, chasing each other around the old tree in front of the ancestral hall, the voices of children were clear and clear.

The generous snowflakes were gilded by the street lamps. Lu Xingxue was standing under the eaves. Through the snow curtain, she was wearing a dark round felt hat, her long hair like a waterfall was naturally hanging down, and her coat was buttoned neatly. Like the beauty of the Republic of China in the pictorial.

"I thought you wouldn't come here." Jiang Ci put away her umbrella and stepped up the steps of the ancestral hall in two steps.

Lu Xingxue turned around with a smile on his face.

——In fact, she doesn't have to come, no one will force her, let alone accuse her, but she still comes.

Once he had this realization, Jiang Ci's voice became softer: "Is the road going smoothly?"

Lu Xingxue answered irrelevantly: "Jiang Ci, aren't you cold?"

"Ah?" Lu Xingxue's approaching figure was reflected in Jiang Ci's clear pupils.

"Run out with wet hair." Lu Xingxue said softly, took off her scarf, and wrapped it around Jiang Ci.The scarf was soft, and it was gently wrapped round and round, almost covering half of Jiang Ci's face.

After answering the phone, she hurried out, and she really didn't have time to dry her hair.

The scarf was stained with the aroma of Lu Xingxue, which was very strong. Jiang Ci pulled it to reveal his mouth and nose, the tip of his nose was red, and his face was also a little red for no reason.

"... let's go," she said.

Lu Xingxue pointed at the entrance of the ancestral hall: "Why don't you take me in first to say hello to the elders? Listen to the sound, it's still very lively inside."

Jiang Ci didn't move, Lu Xingxue saw her hesitate: "What's wrong? Something wrong?"

Jiang Ci took a deep breath: "No."

She led Lu Xingxue into the ancestral hall, and as soon as the two of them showed up, the mahjong stopped. After the shock, Jiang Lin immediately took Lu Xingxue to introduce her to relatives.

Lu Xingxue greeted each of them with a humble and polite attitude.

Jiang Lin's satisfaction is beyond words. Earlier she said that Lu Xingxue was busy, and that Lu Xingxue was not allowed to come over when it was snowing. The family puts it in their eyes, but they don't take their wife to heart, so that's why they don't come, right?

Now that Lu Xingxue came all night despite the heavy snow, all guesses are self-defeating.

Jiang Lin deliberately scolded her: "It's snowing so hard outside, you agreed not to come, and you came here again!"

"..." After the play, Jiang Ci didn't know how to move her hands and feet.

Lu Xingxue was fine, and replied politely: "Should have come, but it was late, elders, don't take offense."

"No wonder, no wonder."

"You're a busy person..."

I don't know where the voice came from: "I'm afraid you came here because you couldn't bear to part with Ah Ci all night, huh?"

"..."

Everyone had smiles on their faces, Jiang Lin was especially happy.Tong Tingkai asked Lu Xingxue if he would play mahjong. It was still early anyway, so why not sit down and play a few laps to pass the time.

Several people rushed to give up their seats to Lu Xingxue:

"Here, here, my brand is prosperous!"

"Your brand is prosperous? I am prosperous too!"

An aunt simply took Lu Xingxue with her hand, and smiled brightly: "Let's open another table, so we won't go with their stinky men."

"..."

Jiang Ci couldn't stay any longer: "Mom, Lu Xingxue is still hungry."

Leaving the ancestral hall, the cold air of the snowy night poured into his lungs, and Jiang Ci's breathing became smoother.

Things backfired, and things I didn't like happened.

Lu Xingxue was laughing, Jiang Ci didn't ask her why she was laughing, and there was no need to ask.The palm-sized face was sunk in the scarf, only revealing a pair of eyes looking at the person in front of him, those eyes were full of helplessness.

Lu Xingxue: "It's okay, I can handle everything.... But how did you guess? I really didn't have dinner."

"You..." Jiang Ci didn't know what to say for a while, and rushed over hungry and snowy. Is this necessary?

Lu Xingxue smiled at her with warm eyes.

Thousands of words came to his lips, Jiang Ci turned his head: "...Let's go, I'll take you to eat."

Stepping on the snow-covered blue bricks, Jiang Ci brought Lu Xingxue back to the old house.Tong Zhenni happened to be back after seeing off her second mistress, and the three of them met at the door. Tong Zhenni snorted, squeezed past them with eyes that were not eyes and nose, and entered the room before them.

In the snowy weather, she only wore a pair of black stockings, showing half of her fair legs, but she was not afraid of the cold.

There was glutinous rice ginseng chicken soup in the casserole, which Jiang Lin prepared for everyone as a supper, and Jiang Ci filled a bowl full for Lu Xingxue.

The two stayed in the kitchen. Not long after, Tong Junhao rushed in like a firecracker, without panting, and jumped up to Jiang Ci: "Sister smelly, mom said take me to ski, I won't take you! Huh! "

Jiang Ci: "Whatever, I don't like it anyway."

"You you you!" Tong Junhao was so angry that he jumped.

Lu Xingxue blew warm chicken soup and drank it with a smile.

Jiang Lin followed closely with a smile on her face: "Xiaobai, is this soup still to your liking?"

Lu Xingxue: "Mom's cooking is delicious. It's very comfortable to drink a bowl of hot soup in this weather."

Jiang Lin really has nothing to say about her culinary skills, and this is not considered flattery.

Jiang Lin said with emotion: "Listen, it's really more caring than my own."

Jiang Ci and Tong Junhao: "..."

Lu Xingxue smiled and asked, "Haohao said he was going to go skiing? Has the place been decided yet?"

"That's why I had such an idea." Jiang Lin sighed: "Aunt Ning, you told me earlier that Mrs. Lin made an appointment with Mrs. Wen, and the two families will go abroad for vacation together next month. I heard her voice, very lonely, It just so happened that Haohao wanted to go skiing, so he simply invited her to go with her. Ah Ci, help me find out where I can go when you are free."

Before Jiang Ci had time to answer, Lu Xingxue said, "If it's skiing, does mother consider Country S? I have a place to stay there, and I have many acquaintances. You take Haohao on a trip. If you go there, Jiang Ci and I I can rest assured."

Country S is of course good. It has top-level skiing resources, and its overall security ranks among the top in the world. Since Lu Xingxue is able to say this, it is natural that he wants to take care of the whole process.Expenses come second, the important thing is that she has the heart, Jiang Lin beamed with joy: "Is it convenient?"

Lu Xingxue nodded: "You have determined the time and let me know."

"Ah, that's great!" Jiang Lin clapped her hands.

Jiang Ci: "..." Okay, you are the real mother and daughter.

Jiang Lin became more and more satisfied with Lu Xingxue. Seeing that her bowl of soup was almost bottomed out, she immediately tried to fill her with a second bowl: "You must eat enough."

Lu Xingxue: "Thank you, Mom."

Jiang Lin lifted the lid of the casserole: "Oh, by the way, Xiaobai, have you slept better recently after taking those medicines?"

When Lu Xingxue stopped drinking the soup, Jiang Ci suddenly looked at Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin: "Sleep with A Ci tonight, or arrange another room for you?"
