C4155 Long Time No See
The spacious hall, the bright lights, the gorgeous tuxedo, the whisper of conversation, the seemingly intimate greetings.
He tugged at his skirt with his hand and a stiff smile appeared on his lips. The high heels on his feet also seemed to want to go against him.
Although the food was delicious and the wine was tempting, she still felt like she wanted to escape as soon as possible.
"Shuangshuang, this way. " Xia Xiyue noticed Jiang Mengshuang's uneasiness and waved at her.
"Excuse me. " She nodded. Jiang Mengshuang smiled at her daughter and turned around to run quickly towards Xia Xiyue. She pursed her lips and looked like she was wronged. "Mama Xia. . . "
"It's done. " Xia Xiyue pinched Jiang Mengshuang's hand and said, "I told you before that it will not be very fun. If you don't want to come, you can refuse. "
"Isn't it because. . . " Jiang Mengshuang's voice became softer and softer. "You said. . . Uncle will come. . . "
"What?" Xia Xiyue did not hear Jiang Mengshuang's words and asked.
"Don't want to disappoint father. " Jiang Mengshuang looked up and immediately changed her words.
"If your dad hears this, he might be so happy. " Xia Xiyue smiled and looked at the person in the middle of the banquet hall and said, "Hold on a little longer. It will probably end in another half an hour. "
The Wu family's patriarch had officially completed the handover and passed the position of patriarch to Wu Ershao. The date of Wu Ershao and Kong Shiyan's wedding had also been set. There was nothing else to do next. Looking at the time, it seemed that the banquet would end in half an hour.
"It seems like I haven't seen Uncle Wu. " Jiang Mengshuang looked around and couldn't help but say.
"Is he the young master of the Wu family?" Xia Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "I think so. But the situation of the Wu family is special and can be understood. "
For generations, the Wu family had the responsibility of protecting the people's livelihood and work. It seemed that the young master of the martial arts universities had a mission. Even if they were not around at this time, no one would say anything.
"Hmm. . . " Jiang Mengshuang pursed her lips and looked down at the beautiful evening dress on her body. The pair of heels that she specially wore did not fit her feet and heavily sighed.
She thought that she would definitely see it today.
It had been four or five years.
From the second half of the year when we parted, I'm already a freshman. In another two months, it would be her 18th birthday.
It had been so long since they last met, and he didn't know if Uncle Wu would be able to recognize him.
She had changed quite a lot in the past few years. Everyone said that she was getting prettier and prettier, and that she was becoming more and more feminine. That pair of apricot-like eyes always made people unable to look away.
Jiang Mengshuang knew that she was beautiful, but she also knew that other people's compliments had a certain degree of flattery. Some of it was even because she was Jiang Family.
Jiang Mengshuang knew this better than anyone else.
The reason why she could live happily until now was largely because her surname was Jiang.
Therefore, no matter how impatient she was, she would play her role well.
"Mama Xia, I'm going out for a walk. " Jiang Mengshuang looked at Xia Xiyue and said, "The hall is a little stuffy. "
"Okay, be careful. " Xia Xiyue nodded and said, "Don't wander around for too long. We will go home together later. "
"Yes. " Jiang Mengshuang replied and turned around to walk out of the hall.
Xia Xiyue looked at Jiang Mengshuang's back and lightly sighed. This kind of occasion, she originally did not like it.
"Mother Patriarch Jiang, long time no see. " A lady came over to greet and Xia Xiyue smiled and looked over. "Long time no see. "
The banquet was still going on and the small talk mixed with laughter and the sound of cups being toasted and accompanied by the melodious music spread to all corners of the hall. Jiang Mengshuang walked out of the banquet hall just like that.
"Phew. . . " She let out a long breath. Jiang Mengshuang stepped down the stairs and looked around.1
The banquet was held at the Wu family and she was not unfamiliar with this place.
After all, after what happened in the Jiang Family, she had stayed here with the old patriarch of the Jiang Family and the others for a period of time.
In October, the night was cold. Jiang Mengshuang did not want to recall what happened before.
It would be great if she could completely forget such a distant thing.
"I remember. . . " Jiang Mengshuang seemed to have thought of something as she walked along a path. "There should be a small garden here. . . "
When she was young, she had been to a very small courtyard that had a lot of flowers.
"It is already this month. Even if the flowers bloom, there should not be much. . . " Jiang Mengshuang walked forward as she muttered, It is already this month. Even if the flowers bloom, there should not be much. . . " Probably. . . Osmanthus, chrysanthemum, wooden hibiscus and so on. . . "
Compared to the liveliness in the front hall, it was indeed quiet. The moonlight was like water and the night wind brought with it the chill of autumn.
A row of night lights emitted a gentle light, illuminating this part of the world. The flowers quietly swayed with the wind under the night sky, and the golden leaves on the ginkgo tree were also covered with a faint halo.
She looked like an outsider who had suddenly entered this place. Alice, who had returned to the Land of Dreams, looked at everything with a sense of novelty and indescribable nostalgia.
At that time, she had also come here often.
This was because this was not the main garden of the Wu family. It was a remote and quiet corner. Even the servants of the Wu family did not come here often. It just so happened that she could stay here quietly by herself.
At that time, Jiang Mengshuang did not like the way others looked at her.
There seemed to be sympathy, and there seemed to be something strange about it.
Although she did not really understand, subconsciously avoiding other people's gazes became a habit of Jiang Mengshuang.
If she did not have Xia Xiyue's care at the back and did not care about other people's gossip at that time, she would resolutely send her overseas, that completely foreign capital.
She was afraid that she would not have such a personality now.
Speaking of which, Xia Xiyue should have suffered quite a bit of pressure for her sake.
Once she married into the Jiang Family and became Patriarch Jiang's mother, she immediately sent Patriarch Jiang's adopted daughter abroad.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Mengshuang reached out and patted her cheek.
Perhaps it was a revisit of her old home, but it reminded her of a lot of past events.
"Here. . . " Jiang Mengshuang walked to a ginkgo tree and stopped in front of it. She remembered that she had read a book under this tree for a long time. She could not remember the story clearly, but it should be very interesting.
[Ka] The sound of someone stepping on a broken tree branch came from not far away. Jiang Mengshuang subconsciously took two steps back and placed her hand in front of her. She coldly asked, "Who is there?"
"Huh. . " A male voice was heard," The alertness is not bad. "
Immediately after, a man walked out of the darkness. He was dressed in a suit and had short hair. There was a faint smile on his lips. He had a slender figure and handsome features. He looked at Jiang Mengshuang with a gentle smile. "Long time no see, little guy. "
