Peng Xi suffered from insomnia that night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

He went to the terrace to have a look, Jian Ning was not here tonight, he was too embarrassed to knock on Jian Ning's door, what could he ask, it seemed wrong to ask anything.

When morning was approaching, Peng Xi got up in a daze, took a shower and went downstairs, and saw Xu Ke sitting in the living room.

"Good morning." Xu Ke's unshaven beard was unshaven, and he drank milk with a sluggish face. "Ah Ning is not here today. Let's try to shoot the last batch of samples as soon as possible."

Peng Xi glanced at the phone in surprise: "It's only eight o'clock, why did you go out?"

"He went home." Xu Ke said, "Yesterday Uncle Fang came and told him that there is a dinner at home today."

"Family dinner...?" Peng Xi blinked.

"Uncle Fang likes to gather his family together for weekend dinners every once in a while. It's a good name to enhance the relationship. Ah Ning will go there when he has time. After all, Uncle Fang treats him very well." Xu Ke propped his head, "But he My aunt, my second mother, and those brothers and sisters are not easy-going lamps."

"Then why do you go to this kind of party?" Peng Xi stirred the coffee, "Won't you feel uncomfortable when you come back?"

"Uncle Fang raised him at home. Even if he doesn't like other people in his heart, others look down on him. He thinks that since he was invited, he should go." Xu Ke said, "So I said Ah Ning He is a good person, except for being a little indifferent, in fact, he will remember who treats him well."

"Their family is really strange...Three marriages and four children, and those who have been divorced can still eat at the same table in harmony." Xu Ke said, "Uncle Fang is really scum... I don’t know if this kind of father is on the stall. Good and bad."

Peng Xi nodded thoughtfully, and stirred the coffee with a spoon.

……

In a large garden clubhouse by the river.

The gray Ferrari drove in through the gate and parked in the car park after passing through the garden.

Jian Ning tied her hair up, wore retro sunglasses, a beige dress with draped sleeves, and a pair of hemp woven flip-flops on her feet, looking quite casual.

After the waiter parked his car and led him into the club, Jian Ning asked casually, "Is everyone here?"

"It's almost there." The waiter said, "This way please."

When Jian Ning arrived in the hall, she found that there was already a table full of people.

Fang Yi sat in the main seat, saw Jian Ning coming in, and said happily: "Jian Ning is here, quickly say hello to the eldest mother and the second mother, sit down and have a sip of tea, and let the waiter serve cold dishes."

Jian Ning glanced around, his elder brother Fang Ming, second sister Fang Qiong, they both greeted him in a friendly manner, and Fang Dong who didn't even bother to look at him, who was concentrating on playing mobile games, the three of them sat in a row.

The aunt smiled and said, "Why do I feel like I haven't seen Jian Ning for a long time? I haven't rested recently, okay? My face is so bad."

The second mother also said: "Yesterday I saw your dad bring you big and small bags of supplements. Come on, sit next to me, and I'll get you food."

Jian Ning never liked to talk to them too much, so she opened a seat next to Fang Dong and sat down. Fang Dong was playing a game, and his buttocks moved a little in another direction.

Fang Yi raised his cup: "Come on, everyone is usually busy, and it's not easy to find time for a party. Let's have a toast. Fang Dong, stop playing!"

When the hot dishes started, the aunt and the second mother praised each other's clothes. Fang Yi drank the red wine and turned to look at Fang Qiong: "You asked me for money before, how about the project you invested in?" ?”

"Not very good." Fang Qiong looked at her nails and pouted, "Dad, you gave me all the money, so don't ask."

"I think you were deceived by that little boy." Fang Yi said, "You voted when he told you to vote?"

"Impossible!" Fang Qiong frowned, "He won't lie to me."

Fang Dong rolled his eyes: "Tell you that man is unreliable! How can anyone tell you to invest in real estate after a month of acquaintance? I reasonably suspect that he is a real estate agency waiting for you to make a profit."

"Dad! Look at him!" Fang Qiong acted like a baby to Fang Yi, "Why can't he say something nice."

"He's right." Big brother Fang Ming ate his food, "It's you, be careful."

Jian Ning ate two mouthfuls of food in silence, and the waiter next to him served him a large plate with a small cup in the middle.Open the goose-yellow delicate lid, and inside is a small cup of stewed soup.

The waiter brought them another side dish, a wheat-flavored bread, topped with foie gras, and a small dish of caviar on the side.

Jian Ning drank two mouthfuls of soup, put down the spoon, scooped out a spoonful of caviar on the foie gras with the shell spoon next to the plate, and then slowly put it back into her mouth. Just after taking two mouthfuls, Fang Dong sneered: "Eat!" Such a hypocritical meal."

Of course Jian Ning knew that she was talking about him, so she didn't intend to pay attention.

Fang Ming at the side said, "You're the only one who talks a lot during a meal."

"Tsk." Fang Dong took a spoonful and spread it on the bread, "We are all rough people, who is as fine as Young Master Jian?"

"It's endless, isn't it?" Fang Ming said, "Eating can't stop your mouth."

"Jian Ning." After the second mother and the aunt had praised the clothes, they turned to Jian Ning who was across the table, "It seems that Fang Dong is going to participate in an exhibition or something with you? Although he is an older brother, he has everything. I don’t understand, everyone as a family, please help him in other aspects.”

The aunt also said: "Yes, it seems that your mother is also going, isn't it? I haven't seen her for a long time."

"I want to help you." Fang Dong said, "My fashion brand, three designers of top fashion brands were recruited by me. Just wait and see, you guys, they will definitely surprise the audience."

"I'm not of the same type as him." Jian Ning wiped her mouth with a tissue, "I can't help much."

"That's what you say, but it's all clothes." Fang Yi also said, "Although he is your brother, it's the first time he comes into contact with this industry and he doesn't have much experience. You should take him with you."

"Who asked him to bring it?" Fang Dong said, "Do I still want to hear him introduce me to everyone as his brother?"

"So what!" Fang Yi said, "Isn't Jian Ning better than you? He is recognized in the industry, but you should be more modest."

"Fuck! What the hell!" Fang Dong said, "Leave me alone, okay?"

"Fang Dong, why are you talking!" Second Mom shouted again, "Why are you talking to your father?"

"Dad, Dad, look at this!" Fang Qiong wanted to intervene.

In the whole hall, the voices of everyone talking loudly reached Jian Ning's ears. He sighed lowly, put his phone on the table and started to deal with things, and didn't want to say another word.

An hour later, the meal finally came to an end, Jian Ning didn't want to stay here for another second, Fang Yi even offered to send him back, but Jian Ning directly refused.

The banquet was over, Jian Ning went out to pick up the car, but was stopped by Fang Ming who came from behind.

"Jane Ning."

"..." Jian Ning turned her head and glanced at him lightly.

Fang Ming and Fang Yi look very similar, they have a kind and gentle feeling on the surface, but you can only find out after getting in touch with them, they are quite rich in the city.

"Dad visited you yesterday." Fang Ming said.

"En." Jian Ning responded, and said again, "Why, you don't have enough lobbyists, do you want another one?"

"How about Fang Dong has nothing to do with me." Fang Ming said, "It's just that I always feel that since eating at home is so uncomfortable, there is no need to force myself."

"Also, Dad didn't tell you." Fang Ming said, "I went to the hospital for a physical examination a few days ago, and Dad found out that there may be a tumor in his lung. It will take a few days to confirm whether it is benign or malignant."

Jian Ning was slightly taken aback, staring at him.

"If it's vicious." Fang Ming said, "We have to be prepared at any time. If Dad didn't tell you, maybe he has his own reasons."

Jian Ning suddenly heard what he said at that moment, he felt his breath constricted in his chest, and his throat was sweet, just staring at Fang Ming like this, his stomach felt sick.

"...Tell me when the test results come out." Jian Ning glanced at him, turned around and left without saying anything.

Of the ten so-called family gatherings, eight were unhappy, and two could only be described as peaceful.

After dinner, Jian Ning drove back. Peng Xi and Xu Ke had already taken all the makeup photos, and they were selecting and sending them back to the company.

"Ah Ning, you are back." Seeing Jian Ning, Xu Ke said, "We have finished the sample part! Next, we are waiting for the brochure and some planning for the scene."

After Jian Ning walked around to the computer to confirm, Xu Ke leaned back on the chair and stretched: "It's finally over!"

"That's right, wait for the results to be sent back." After Jian Ning finished speaking, she looked up and found that Peng Xi was staring at him. After being caught, Peng Xi quickly lowered her eyes.

Xu Ke said: "How is today? Your father didn't say anything about you, did he?"

"No." Jian Ning shook her head.

Xu Ke looked closer at him: "Really? You don't look very well."

"Tired." Jian Ning said, "I'll take a rest for a while."

Peng Xi watched him go out, thought for a while, and couldn't help but follow him.

"Mr. Jane!" he cried.

Jian Ning was about to go upstairs, when she heard this, she turned her head to look at him, her long hair trembling slightly: "?"

"...That." Peng Xi blushed a little at the sight of him, and pointed to the downstairs, "Today... Hui Hui hasn't been walked yet, do you want to go for a dog walk with me?"

Jian Ning looked at him blankly for a while, then said, "I don't want to."

Peng Xi: "..."

Peng Xi: "...Then I'll go by myself."

Jian Ning didn't even raise her hand, she went straight upstairs.

Peng Xi greeted the uncle gardener, and led Huihui out of the garden with a rope.The villa area where Jian Ning's family lives is all single-family villas, and the distance is quite far. Sometimes Peng Xi walks the dog while running.

He just wrapped the rope around his hands twice, squatted down and said to the dog, "Is it better today? Does it still hurt?"

The dog gave him a silly "Aw!".

Peng Xi didn't know whether it understood or not, so he patted its dog's head and led it slowly out of the garden.

After walking a few steps, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of someone walking side by side with him, and Peng Xi was startled when he turned his head.

"Mr. Jane?" He called out, with a little surprise in his voice.

Jian Ning changed her clothes and put on a pair of sunglasses. He turned to look at Peng Xi: "I really can't figure out why you like walking your dog so much."
