She Belongs To Me

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Ci took Lu Xingxue to Tong's house together.Lu Xingxue prepared Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for everyone, and except for Tong Zhenni who was not at home, everyone else readily accepted it.

Tong Tingkai was far less successful in his career than the Lu family, and he was always polite to Lu Xingxue; Lu Xingxue was modest and courteous in his dealings, Tong Tingkai was in a good mood, and the atmosphere at home became much more relaxed.

After dinner, before leaving, Tong Tingkai and Jiang Lin sent them out.Jiang Lin smiled and said to Lu Xingxue: "Xiaobai, our Aci has a bad temper and is not sensible, please forgive her."

Jiang Ci knew Jiang Lin's thoughts, but these exhortations were meaningless, and she and Lu Xingxue were not real partners at all.

She looked away casually, and heard Lu Xingxue say solemnly: "Jiang Ci is very good, but I am busy with the company, so I often can't take care of her."

Lu Xingxue said again: "I will spend more time with her in the future."

Jiang Lin thought about it, and the more she watched Lu Xingxue, the more satisfied she became. ——He has a good family background, a good personality, and good looks, and there is nothing to pick and choose in how he behaves. It's completely his daughter who is admiring her.So as soon as the two left, Jiang Lin sent Jiang Ci a text message on the back.

In a long text message, half of it was used to praise Lu Xingxue, and the other half was used to beat Jiang Ci, telling her to cherish Lu Xingxue and this marriage.

"If I were you, and I could meet someone like Lu Xingxue, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams and let me tell you."

Jiang Ci put away her phone and leaned on the car window to watch Lu Xingxue drive.

When the contract period ends, Jiang Lin will most likely be furious in the face of their peaceful breakup.In the final analysis, it was because of Lu Xingxue's outstanding conditions in all aspects. Thinking of this, Jiang Ci inevitably had a headache.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner.

Grandpa Lu has two cousins, and each cousin has several children. On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, the usually deserted Lu's house is rarely lively.

Jiang Ci followed Lu Xingxue closely, and probably remembered who was who when it was time to eat.

Grandpa Lu had been quarreled all day, and he was used to going to bed early. After dinner, Lu Xingxue sent him back to his room, and the rest of them either went to the living room to drink tea, or to have fun on their own.

Just as Jiang Ci sat down in the teahouse, she was dragged to chat.

"I heard the old man talk about it last time, but people, when you get old, your memory won't work... What do you do for work?"

Jiang Ci looked over, and the person speaking was a fat middle-aged woman, surnamed Wang, who followed Lu Xingxue and called her aunt.

"Auntie," Jiang Ci said politely, "I'm a piano tuner lawyer."

Ms. Wang: "Oh, yes, tuning a lawyer is like tuning a piano, right?"

Jiang Ci: "It's not only tuning, but also participating in piano design—"

"Our Yuanyuan learns the piano, and the piano store recommended several tuners to her back and forth, but they are not good, and the technology is not good. Yuanyuan said that the sound they tuned is not as good as she can tune it with that...that tuner. That's right." Ms. Wang interrupted Jiang Ci without waiting for her to finish speaking, "A Ci, what do you use to tune? You also use a tuner?"

Jiang Ci: "..."

The tuner is an auxiliary tool for beginners. Jiang Ci became the chief, relying on his own ears.What the tuner tunes out is only mechanical accuracy, and tuning requires not only the absolute accuracy of a single tone, but also the harmony between different intervals.

But with Ms. Wang's attitude, Jiang Ci knew that he didn't need to explain too much to her, so he just said, "I don't need that."

Ms. Wang: "How about the salary in this line of work? It only takes a few hours to be transferred, and you are busy up and down. It sounds boring and hard, huh?"

Jiang Ci: "I can support myself."

"It's really not easy. Not many young people can insist on coming!" Ms. Wang took Jiang Ci's hand: "Your family runs a company, and it's also a listed company. It's quite large. Why don't you Going to work in the family company? Look at Xiaobai, how filial and outstanding he is, and he manages the Lu family's business smoothly."

From work to family, this lady has something to say.Jiang Ci withdrew her hand calmly, brushed her hair behind her ears, and said in the same tone, "I can't do any of these."

At this time, another person sat down next to Ms. Wang, and started gossip in a low voice: "The one outside Wang's house came to fight for the inheritance, oh, the city has been full of trouble these two days, do you know that?"

Ms. Wang said disdainfully: "What kind of pattern can an illegitimate daughter outside have? They will ask for money and look ugly! But whoever has a bit of bone, who will be a third party, and what good things can a third party raise?"

Jiang Ci slowly moved back, leaning against the back of the sofa.She took a sip of her tea and turned her head to look out.

Just in time, I saw Lu Xingxue standing by the door listening to the phone.

Lu Xingxue: "Thank you for your hard work. I will send the terms of the contract to Assistant Yao later."

Wan Wen on the other end of the phone is a group lawyer. She has known Lu Xingxue for many years and has a good personal relationship.When the work was over, her attitude became more casual, and she asked Lu Xingxue: "I heard from Assistant Yao that you are celebrating the festival with Director Lu today?"

Lu Xingxue: "Yes."

Wan Wen said with a smile: "Bring your little wife?"

Lu Xingxue stopped listening to her teasing, put away her phone, and went to the teahouse.As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes naturally fell on her.

Ms. Wang, in particular, burst into laughter instantly: "Xiaobai, come here quickly, Auntie has something to tell you."

Lu Xingxue sat down beside Jiang Ci, and brought her a plate with a small piece of snack on it: "Aunt Yun gave it to you."

After Jiang Ci took it, Lu Xingxue looked at Ms. Wang: "Say, auntie."

Ms. Wang, who watched this scene, curled her lips disapprovingly, but she quickly adjusted her expression: "We, Yuanyuan, have been working in the design department of Forest headquarters for a week. She won't let me tell you about this child, for fear of trouble. You, but we are all one family, so there is nothing to hide, Xiaobai, right? Even if you don’t tell it now, you will know it sooner or later? ——Yuanyuan has always regarded you as a role model since she was a child, and she was so focused on it back then Going to study jewelry design is also for you,... for the company of the Lu family. Now everyone is happy, you should take care of her more."

Lu Xingxue really didn't know about it. After hearing Ms. Wang's words, she nodded and said, "I will take care of the design department."

Jiang Ci ate dim sum one after another, and when the banquet was over and on the way back, she asked Lu Xingxue: "Who is Yuanyuan?"

Lu Xingxue: "My aunt's niece."

Jiang Ci nodded thoughtfully.

She has never expressed curiosity about the affairs of the Lu family. This is the first time. Lu Xingxue felt that Jiang Ci still had something to say. Seeing that she didn't speak, she asked her: "When I'm not here, what do you want to say? What did Auntie talk about?"

This question hit Jiang Ci's heart: "There is nothing new."

After a pause, she added the second half of the sentence: "I'm an illegitimate daughter, she thinks I'm not good enough for you."

Lu Xingxue took a quick look at Jiang Ci in surprise, and frowned: "Why doesn't she think it's important, don't worry about it."

Jiang Ci said calmly: "Oh."

Lu Xingxue said solemnly: "Jiang Ci, you are the legitimate grandson-in-law of the Lu family. If there is no equality between us, then I will ask you first."

From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Ci has heard more ugly words than Ms. Wang's words a thousand times, and Ms. Wang is not as straightforward as she said by name.Jiang Ci just thought carefully that it was because of Lu Xingxue that she was angered by her relatives for no reason. If Lu Xingxue could stay out of it, she would be at a disadvantage.

Now that Lu Xingxue took it seriously, Jiang Ci's small thoughts would naturally disappear, not to mention that Lu Xingxue spoke so beautifully, which gave her enough face.

Jiang Ci turned to the window: "Understood, I didn't care at all."

Lu Xingxue moved her lips, but stopped talking.It was a long time since the car drove out before she said three words silently.

"Liar liar."

In the second half of the journey, Jiang Ci fell asleep, dreamed of thunder and lightning, and woke up with a fright.I was almost home, the wind was blowing outside, the moon was gone, the street lights were dim, and it passed in a flash.

Jiang Ci's voice was rustling, she asked Lu Xingxue: "Is it going to rain?"

Lu Xingxue: "The weather forecast says there will be rain."

Not long after the two arrived home, thunder came one after another, and the downpour came immediately.Jiang Ci walked into the room quickly, and opened the bedside table, but the box for noise-canceling earplugs was empty.

I was busy with touring before, and I went to several countries. I lost several pairs of earplugs.

Scarlet lightning tore through the night, and thunder rumbled again.

Jiang Ci grabbed the cat doll beside him.It was also such a thunderstorm day, that group of vicious people broke into Yushui Nanyuan, smashed her home, beat her mother, and beat her too.

Lu Xingxue passed by her door and saw her with her back to the door, maintaining a rigid posture and motionless.

"...Jiang Ci?" Lu Xingxue approached her suspiciously.

Jiang Ci asked back: "Is there something wrong?"

Her voice was tense, Lu Xingxue pulled her back and turned around: "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Ci's lips were pale and her eyes were wet.She took a deep breath, pretending to be relaxed and replied: "...it's nothing."

Lu Xingxue was silent for a while before saying: "...do you want to have supper together?"

Jiang Ci was not hungry, but she would rather eat something with Lu Xingxue than to be alone in a thunderstorm, so she immediately answered: "Yes."

Lu Xingxue: "What to eat? There seems to be some vegetables in the refrigerator, let's go down and have a look?"

Jiang Ci: "I can do it."

Following Lu Xingxue step by step into the kitchen, Lu Xingxue opened the refrigerator: "There are vegetables here, and Auntie Zhuang's crab sauce... Can we have noodles?"

Jiang Ci nodded: "Yes."

There was lightning and thunder outside, but the kitchen was quiet and bright.Lu Xingxue had already changed into her home clothes, with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows, and was washing vegetables under the running water.

Jiang Ci was behind her, still holding the cat doll firmly in her hand, the fluffy cat tail was hanging down, shaking slightly.

The phone rang suddenly.

As if Jiang Ci had never heard of it, Lu Xingxue reminded her: "Call."

"Ah?...Oh." Jiang Ci pulled out her phone, it was Wen Nian.

The thunder continued, and Wen Nian's voice followed the current into Jiang Ci's ears: "A Ci, don't be afraid."

Wen Nian's opening remarks like this, it seems that she saved her from the nightmare that day.

Jiang Ci walked away a few steps: "I'm not afraid."

When the people behind him left, Lu Xingxue turned off the water, arranged the leafy vegetables neatly on the cutting board, and shredded them finely.

Wen Nian told Jiang Ci something that happened recently. At this time, Jiang Ci just needs to listen quietly.When the two of them had the best relationship, because they were tired of being together all day and there were no new topics to talk about, Wen Nian would sing to her. As long as she could hear Wen Nian's voice, Jiang Ci felt that the sound of thunder was not so scary.

—but it shouldn't be like that anymore.

Jiang Ci knew that she should no longer rely on Wen Nian psychologically.She can do it, and she did it. In the early years, when Wen Nian fell in love with the boy and completely left her behind during those thunderstorm days, didn't she survive the most difficult times?

Not to mention now.

After listening to Wen Nian talk for another 2 minutes, Jiang Ci made up her mind to interrupt her. She asked her, "How are you? Did you pay attention to rest?"

Wen Nian: "...I'm fine."

Jiang Ci: "That's good.... Lu Xingxue is preparing a supper, I'll help her, we'll talk next time."

Without giving Wen Nian a chance to say a word more, Jiang Ci hung up the phone and went back behind Lu Xingxue.

Sensing her going back and forth, Lu Xingxue straightened her back and turned her slender neck to the back: "Jiang Ci, can you help me prepare the dinner plate?"

Jiang Ci listlessly said: "I don't want to."

Lu Xingxue: "..."

Lu Xingxue turned around, the two of them were facing each other, they were too close, the neckline of Lu Xingxue's home clothes was slightly open, and Jiang Ci was about to retreat, when there was another earth-shattering thunder outside.

She doesn't move.

The water in the pot was gurgling, and when the thunder was over, Lu Xingxue lowered his eyes, looked at Jiang Ci who was close at hand, and asked, "Are you afraid of thunder?"

Jiang Ci turned her face away: "Not afraid."

Lu Xingxue: "Little liar."

These three words had a bit of an airy sound, and the ending tune was slightly elongated, but they were finally uttered.

Jiang Ci scratched her ear, feeling itchy inexplicably.
