Self-investment

Luo Yimu didn't expect to meet Jian Ling in Luo's inner house. After she clearly rejected Jian Ling that day, Jian Ling wisely never bothered her again. He thought that there would be no intersection with Jian Ling again. It took only a few days to meet again, and the meeting place was still in Luo's house, which was completely beyond Luo Yimu's expectation.

Luo Yimu came with Guan Xu, and arrived half an hour earlier than Jian Ling. After coming, he and Guan Xu went to celebrate Luo Shisen's birthday, and after a while in Luo Shisen's study, they came out. Attracted by Jian Ling's head with a different color in the yard, her heart skipped a beat, thinking that it would not be such a coincidence to run into Jian Ling again, but when she looked closely, it was really her, and then listened carefully to the conversation in the yard , only heard the quarrel between Jian Ling and Luo Miao.Luo Miao's bastard words were unbearable, and Jian Ling retorted very restrainedly. Luo Yimu stood behind the door to observe, and he could see Jian Ling standing at the corner of the table, with his spine straight and his hands tightly behind his back. Clenched into a fist, the veins on the back of her hand protruding due to excessive force can be seen clearly by the sunlight, they are blue.

Luo Yimu looked at her back standing upright. She was wearing a pure white hoodie today, which was very thin. The two butterfly bones on the back protruded from the thin layer of clothing at an abrupt angle. There was a shadow left on the hoodie, which looked like a shabby man, and he was a bit of a gentleman, completely inconsistent with Luo Yimu's image of the slippery market thug.

So weak, stubborn and helpless, for some reason, Luo Yimu's mouth moved one step ahead of his brain, preventing the more vicious and insulting words behind Luo Miao.

In fact, there is a better way, such as pretending not to hear their previous tense conversation, come out of the room, and change the topic to other places without a trace, so as not to cause such an embarrassing situation now, Luo Yimu She was always calm, but when she heard that Jian Ling was being humiliated, she lost her mind and did such an abrupt thing.

Jian Ling watched Luo Yimu walk from the house to the courtyard, and sat down in the empty seat closest to Mrs. Luo, without looking at Jian Ling the whole time, just treating her as a complete stranger from a wealthy family. The order of seating can often represent many things. Someone like Hao Xinyi who has no name or distinction can only be squeezed into the corner of the table, while Luo Yimu can sit first in Mrs. Luo's hand, and even Luo Miao, a direct heir, must be ranked first. Afterwards, she explained that Luo Yimu's status in the Luo family was very high. Jian Ling thought, no wonder she felt that she couldn't hide her noble aura when meeting her for the first time. She was really a lady from a rich family, just like herself. This kind of common people is probably out of reach.

In such an occasion, it is better not to know each other. Luo Yimu pretended not to know Jian Ling, and Jian Ling cooperated with him knowingly. Luo Yimu was on the scene, so he couldn't say anything, so he had to retreat temporarily and calm down.

A war was strangled in the cradle before it even started. The three aunts and six wives of the Luo family who were waiting to watch the show were very disappointed when they saw that the fight could no longer be fought. Moved away, only Luo Miao was still holding his breath trying to trip Jian Ling, and the table was noisy again.

"Xiaomu, are your parents in good health recently?"

"Thank you grandma for your concern. They are very good, but there are too many things to do, and I missed my cousin's birthday banquet, and I can't come to visit grandma in person."

"I haven't seen them for more than ten years. Hey, if your grandpa and grandpa are still alive, Shisen and your father may be a little closer. They are both brothers of the Luo family. Not much."

"My parents also often miss my grandma. During the Chinese New Year last year, they said that they would take grandma to play with them for a few days, just because they were afraid that grandma would not be able to take the plane because of her age."

Luo Yimu was chatting with Mrs. Luo, Jian Ling listened to it, and could guess that Luo Yimu's grandfather and the husband of this "grandmother" were brothers, so what Luo Yimu and Hao Xinyi called "Uncle Luo" They are cousins, no wonder the status is so high, Luo Miao dare not even say a rebuttal with a single word. To be more serious, if Hao Xinyi really enters the Luo family one day in the future, according to the brief order of seniority, he has to be called Luo A murmur and a cousin.

There were more than a dozen people at a long table, all of whom were chatting with each other, only Hao Xinyi was deserted here, sitting in a narrow space with a big belly, he was so crowded that his bones were uncomfortable and he dared not move, for fear of offending the old lady, Jian Ling couldn't stand it anymore , said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Why don't you go back and rest when you're so uncomfortable?"

Pregnant women are prone to heat, and the outdoor weather is very stuffy today. Hao Xinyi's forehead was already covered with sweat. He took out a tissue and wiped it off. He forced a smile and said, "Your Uncle Luo hasn't come here yet for such an important occasion. It is inappropriate for one person to leave the table first." He wiped his sweat again as he spoke.

"I've come at your request, now I have nothing to do, can I go?"

"Wait a little longer, your Uncle Luo will come over later, he wants to see you, Ah Ling, you can meet him before leaving." Hao Xinyi begged softly.

Seeing her uncomfortable and terrified face, Jian Ling wanted to laugh. She was so upset that she couldn't get angry, and she couldn't leave, so she simply left the table with the excuse of eating too much to digest food. When Hao Xinyi asked her to come back, Out of sight out of mind.

Out of the small courtyard, there is a garden outside, and there is a fountain pool in the center, which just blocks the scorching sun and leaves a cool place in the shade. Jane sits by the fountain and plays games.It was close to two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no one in the garden. Jian Ling hid by the fountain pool, it was cool and clean, and he was happy and at ease. He wanted to spend the afternoon here, but someone made trouble for him. .

"You are Jian Ling?" Two strange men appeared out of nowhere, one tall and one short, wearing gardener's overalls and straw hats, with dark complexion, standing in front of Jian Ling and smiling, baring their yellow teeth. Years of smoking and giving off a disgusting stench.

Jian Ling put away her phone, stood up, and looked at the two strange men warily.

"I'm asking you something, are you dumb?" The short man spat into the lawn next to him.

"What do you want to do?" Jian Ling saw that the two men had malicious intentions, and took two steps back calmly, ready to run away at any time.

"It looks like it's you." The tall man cursed, "Damn bitch, dare to go against Luo Shao, I think you're fucking impatient."

The brief is clear, it turns out that Luo Miao found these two people just now.

The short man said: "Don't talk nonsense with her. Since she dared to offend Shao Luo by herself, let's not be merciful and let her learn the lesson. Young Master Luo said that we will give our brothers bonuses when things are done."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jian Ling scolded Hao Xinyi a hundred times in her heart, and ran away quickly. Unexpectedly, there were more than two people coming. As soon as she turned around, two more people rushed out from behind and chased her away. The way out was blocked, and the four people surrounded Jian Ling to a dead end. They held a wooden hoe in their hands and pointed it directly at Jian Ling's head. The man slapped the dead hand, the pain was so painful that Jian Ling twitched a few times, gritted his teeth and took it, and was kicked hard on the back a few times. Inhaling, looking for the opportunity, when one of them lifted his foot and was about to kick again, he hugged his thigh tightly, knocked him to the ground with all his strength, then turned over and pressed him to the ground and beat him fiercely, punching to the flesh, beating That person begged for help.

Jian Ling spent a few years in his youth, and he knew how to attack the worst and make people feel the most unbearable pain.It's a pity that she was outnumbered after all, and was quickly picked off by the other three, and she grabbed one of the three and beat her hard, putting on a desperate posture, her eyes were blood red, like a beast that wanted to eat people The four of them shuddered when they saw it, so they threw Jian Ling into the fountain together.

Approaching the one-meter-deep fountain pool, Jian Ling was pushed down unpreparedly, with a plop, splashing water, she choked on several mouthfuls of water before standing up in the fountain pool, her whole body was drenched, drenched Her short hair was attached to her forehead, and the water flowed down her forehead, continuously trickling down from her pointed chin, and the pure white T-shirt on her body was also translucent due to being soaked in water, tightly wrapping her body , so that her body curves can be seen at a glance, and even the color of her underwear is faintly visible.

When she was beaten just now, she was desperately protecting her head, her body was bruised and purple, and her feet were wounded by sticks, but there was no cut on her face. Crystal water droplets slid across her fair face, and the sparkling water in the fountain pool made her skin more beautiful. It was so white that it was almost transparent, and those stubborn and ferocious eyes were wet, and combined with the graceful body wrapped in the drenched coat, it diffused into an astonishing beauty in a wave of light. The four people by the fountain looked at each other in a daze, looking at each other, There were evil thoughts in his eyes.

Anyway, Young Master Luo only said that he was going to punish this bitch to death, but he didn't say how, why not...

They were thinking, gearing up, throwing away the wooden sticks in their hands, jumping into the water one after another to catch Jian Ling, their words were unbearable, Jian Ling thought that he probably couldn't escape, so he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists to fight them desperately. Well, if she dies, these people don't even think about living. They just heard a rush of chaotic footsteps on the shore from far to near, and one of them shouted: "Stop!" Then there was a crisp plop, and another person jumped into the water In the middle, stood in front of Jian Ling, blocking the four people.

Jian Ling's eyes were blurred by the water, and for a moment she couldn't see the face of the person who stood in front of her to save her. She only knew that she was half a head taller than her. When Jian Ling looked up, she could only see the back of her neck, which was very white and slender. , stained with water drops, it looks shiny, as beautiful as a swan.

Jian Ling was in pain, clutching her chest, resting all her weight on the man's back, her nose was filled with a familiar fragrance, this fragrance had always teased her, but today it made her feel at ease like never before .
