Chapter 87 Sister Extra Story : Coincidence
Chapter 87 Sister Extra Story : Coincidence
The engagement banquet was cancelled, and Ning Zhijing returned home early.
"So early?" The mother-in-law, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, turned her head, curled her lips, and said in a strange voice, "Such a big thing happened, don't you want to help your natal family give advice?"
As soon as Ning Zhijing heard it, she knew that her mother-in-law was very clear about the real reason for the cancellation of the engagement banquet - the bride-to-be was either not feeling well, but had run away.
"I want to come back and rest." She didn't speak, but her husband Ling Feiyang next to her said, "She accommodates me."
The mother-in-law snorted softly, "She will accommodate you? Forget it, who doesn't know that our Ling family married an ancestor."
"Mom! What are you talking about?" Ling Feiyang was upset.
"Why, are you going to take her out again?" The mother-in-law stood up abruptly, striding towards them, pointing her raised hand at Ning Zhijing, "She has already given money to her natal family, why don't you pay her back?" protect?"
Ling Feiyang looked confused, "What kind of money are you posting?"
"If you don't post money, how can her sister escape from marriage?"
"Mom, you misunderstood." Ning Zhijing could tell who she was talking to.In front of her natal family, she directly admitted that she helped escape marriage, and in front of her in-laws, she would cover it up to avoid unnecessary trouble, and explained softly, "I just gave Qianqian a small red envelope, and I used my own money."
The mother-in-law stared, "Didn't you also ask Feiyang for the money?"
"I didn't." Ning Zhijing explained calmly, "I used the remuneration I wrote for the magazine."
"you……"
"It's time to eat," Ling Feiyang couldn't listen anymore, and stood in front of him and took the forced mother-in-law to the restaurant, "Mom, you can eat with me. Is the food hot?"
The mother-in-law was not reconciled to being dragged away, she turned her head and stared at Ning Zhijing mockingly, "It's not hot, who would have thought that some people would not even be able to eat a hot meal at their natal family's wedding banquet."
Ning Zhijing listened in silence, ready to follow.
"It's fine if it's not hot!" Ling Feiyang was unwilling to whitewash the peace, "Let's go out to eat."
Ning Zhijing only took one step before she was led out of the door by her returning husband, leaving her mother-in-law's cursing words behind her.
"I'm sorry." After getting in the car, Ning Zhijing apologized for the first time for running away from marriage.
Ling Feiyang didn't speak, and started the car.
The silence lasted for a long time.They were like two strangers, carpooling to the shopping mall, sharing a table for a meal, and the relationship between husband and wife was not restored until they returned home.
"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow." Ling Feiyang said, "I'll tell my mother to take you with me. You don't really have to go with me, just stay at the house on Baihe Road for two days, and go home together when I come back."
"Okay, thank you."
"We are husband and wife, so there is no need to say thank you." Ling Feiyang turned his head suddenly, "Also, when did I object to what you insist on? You really want to help Qianqian, you can discuss it with me."
Ning Zhijing didn't think about "what if", but just apologized, "I'm sorry."
"You..." Ling Feiyang was discouraged, "Forget it, I'll be on a business trip tonight."
This is their usual way of avoiding quarrels. Ling Feiyang will be busy with things suddenly, and she is responsible for playing stupid.Ning Zhijing knew it well but didn't expose it, and said meekly, "Okay, I'll help you pack your luggage."
The son went on a business trip suddenly, and the arrangement of taking his wife with him surprised the mother-in-law.Before, her mother-in-law forced Ning Zhijing to have a baby, and Ling Feiyang took her out for a while. The mother-in-law finally persuaded them to come back, and she didn't dare to act rashly anymore. The attitude of sending them out was much better. The thick envelope was stuffed into her hand, and she said, "I was wrong just now... You took such good care of Feiyang, I should thank you."
A wife who is favored by her husband can always gain the upper hand in the war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she should feel that she is lucky, and she should cherish this happy life even more.
But Ning Zhijing didn't feel any joy at all, she just felt uncomfortable, and felt that the unwanted "good" was like sea water rushing up and drowning her involuntarily.She felt breathless, but she had to accept it meekly, listening to the voice in her heart reminding herself repeatedly - you have received so many benefits, you should repay them.
Let's talk about the repayment when the husband comes back.
Ning Zhijing didn't push herself too hard, and returned to the place where she lived before.The house is quiet, she doesn't feel lonely, but very comfortable, even if she doesn't do anything, she can enjoy the pleasure of being alone.
The next day, she got up early, tidied up the house, and prepared to buy some food to cook for herself.
Just as Ning Zhijing was about to go out, she ran into Aunt Li, the housekeeper who came to report.Aunt Li saw that she was holding a shopping trolley, her face turned pale with fright, "Madam, let me come. What would you like to eat?"
"No, you can get off work." Ning Zhijing was not surprised that her husband would find someone to take care of her. Feeling the suffocation of being out of breath, she forced herself to tell a lie, "I'll go out to eat."
Aunt Li has some understanding of her temperament, and she has her own way of coping, "Then...shall I buy some fruit, make some dumplings and buns and put them in the refrigerator?"
"Okay." Ning Zhijing compromised.
She just did something that made Ling Feiyang so embarrassed, she shouldn't push forward and refuse such care.
Aunt Li didn't ask her what she wanted to eat, but smiled and said good things to her boss, "You like to eat three delicacies dumplings and quick sand buns, right? Mr. Ling told me."
Ning Zhijing was not very happy, she just smiled, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Okay, I'll go shopping after cleaning." Aunt Li rolled up her sleeves and walked inside.
Ning Zhijing didn't say what she had cleaned up, and quietly watched Aunt Li busy.
Aunt Li glanced around and found that the room was neat and tidy and there was nothing to do, so she turned to the kitchen.The light sound of fiddling with kitchen utensils and the sound of water flowing could be heard, but it was not too noisy, but it easily drove away the tranquility of the room.After working for a long time, Aunt Li has figured out her temperament, and will maintain the furnishings that make her comfortable to the greatest extent. She will not even move the magazines spread out on the coffee table, and will make adjustments at any time when she observes changes in her preferences.
Then report to her husband Ling Feiyang.
Ning Zhijing once said she didn't need it, but what she got was a sad question, "I want to take care of you, can't I?"
Yes, as it should be.
Ning Zhijing had always been soft-hearted, and she couldn't be tough on her last husband who couldn't make a mistake.As usual, she silently accepted the arrangement of Aunt Li's door-to-door help, sighed softly, turned and went out.
The streets were quiet and many shops were closed.She plans to go to a familiar cafe, drink tea and read a book, adjust her mood before facing the home that is no longer quiet and full of traces of her husband's arrangements.
It was windy in the morning, and as she walked slowly, she could see everything around her.
Ning Zhijing saw a woman.
The woman was wearing a dark gray formal attire, with short hair that was at the length of her chin. Her appearance was gentle and fair, but she wore a calm and solemn expression that made people dare not get close. His figure didn't show any embarrassment.The woman looked around unhurriedly, fixed her eyes when she met her, raised a standard smile that was neither warm nor indifferent, and walked forward.
Ning Zhijing recognized the identity of the person who came, and also took the initiative to greet her, "Hello, Secretary Fang."
Secretary Fang blinked, letting the sharp eyes fade away at this moment.
"Hello." Secretary Fang quickly adjusted back to a serious state, and handed over the business card, "I am here this time to explain to you according to President Chu's orders. Ning Zhiqian is safe now, please don't worry. The back of the business card Write down the mobile phone number she will use, I will give her the mobile phone later, and you can contact her in the afternoon."
My sister actually got involved with Mr. Chu?
Ning Zhijing was surprised, but she didn't ask the cause and effect, "Okay, thank you."
"Is there anything you want to ask?"
Ning Zhijing thought about the environment around her.The parents knew that she was the one who helped Ning Zhiqian escape, and once they searched for Yucuo, they would come back and question her.The mother-in-law is yin and yang, sarcasm at every turn, and the current softness is temporary.Ling Feiyang was obviously angry, and when he came back from a business trip, he didn't know if the anger would subside, or he would choose to make a big deal a small one, and stand by the Ning family to help explain her words.
Not knowing is the greatest protection for my sister.
Ning Zhijing wanted to say "no", she opened her lips, but was interrupted by Secretary Fang's sneeze.
"Ah Choo!" Secretary Fang covered her face and turned her head in time.
Ning Zhijing could see Secretary Fang's profile.The same gentle and clean fingers covered the slightly less blood-colored face, and the eyes that were too fierce to be approached just now were evened out by an embarrassed blink.
"It's cold in the morning." She handed over a tissue, "Please use it."
"Thank you." Secretary Fang tidied himself up quickly, and asked again, "What did you want to ask just now?"
He seems to be a person who likes to be brave...
Ning Zhijing curled her lips.
"Would you be interested in a cup of hot coffee, please?"
-
Fang Zihan is used to working overtime anytime, anywhere, indefinitely, and doesn't feel wronged or painful.She came to City A from a relaxed and comfortable town because she wanted to work hard. Encouraged by the favorable treatment and good prospects of her current job, she was extremely willing to sacrifice her personal time to share worries and troubles for her boss, and to seek opportunities for promotion and salary increase.
But Fang Zihan never enjoyed working overtime.
Until she got a cup of hot coffee from Ning Zhijing.
"Thank you." Fang Zihan was blown cold from head to toe by the wind, and after taking a sip of warm coffee, he finally felt alive.
"You're welcome." Ning Zhijing replied softly.
Fang Zihan will try his best to do things when he gets benefits, and ask, "Whatever you want to ask, just ask. As long as it is something I know and can say, I will definitely tell you."
She was referring to the matter of her sister.
Ning Zhijing always digressed, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten." Fang Zihan said.
Ning Zhijing nodded, "Well, I'm done asking."
"..."
Fang Zihan observed Ning Zhijing carefully, wondering if this was a joke.
"I'm not joking." Ning Zhijing saw through her mind and explained softly, "I won't ask more questions, and I won't try to contact Qianqian, as long as I know she's safe. If you tell me too much, I'll have to Worrying about how to keep it a secret so that no one will notice.”
"Well, I understand." Secretary Fang respected other people's choices, and didn't plan to mention it any more. She was going to take a few sips of coffee before withdrawing.
At this time, the meal Ning Zhijing ordered was brought to the table, and it was delivered by the boss himself.
"Zhijing, long time no see." The boss smiled and put an extra-large meal in front of Ning Zhijing, "Is this your friend?"
"Yes." Ning Zhijing nodded.
Fang Zihan, who suddenly changed from running errands to friends, put down his coffee cup, smiled and said hello to the boss.
"Why are you so nice?" The boss obviously liked Ning Zhijing very much, and he was always boasting, "You even brought friends to join us."
Ning Zhijing chuckled, "I haven't come here for so long, of course I have to show my sincerity."
"You moved back?" the boss asked, "will you come here more often?"
"It will happen in a few days."
"Okay, give me a call before you come, I will cook myself."
A few pleasantries, tone and attitude stuck between intimacy and strangeness, ordinary acquaintance relationship.Fang Zihan listened to the whole process and didn't think much of it. He just curled up his lips when the boss looked over to show some face.
The boss wanted to entertain other people, so he gave them an extra salad and left.
"Try it." Ning Zhijing said with a smile, "The salad here is not bad."
"No." Fang Zihan managed to warm up his body, not wanting the cold salad to spoil the warmth.Of course, she wouldn't tell the truth, she used non-negotiable reasons, "I have something to do, I have to go."
"Okay." Ning Zhijing stood up to see her off.
"No need to send it away." Fang Zihan gave another good reason, "It's easy to be seen. Others know that you are connected with people from the Chu Group, so they will naturally guess where Ning Zhiqian is."
"Yes." Ning Zhijing was persuaded by her, "Then be careful on the road."
Fang Zihan smiled and nodded, "Goodbye."
Walking out of the cafe, Fang Zihan called the driver, put down his phone and covered his hands after reporting the location.Perhaps the warmth from the hot coffee remained on her fingertips, she thought of Ning Zhijing, and turned her head to look in the direction of the cafe.
Ning Zhijing sat by the window and waved.
Fang Zihan raised his hand to respond, thinking:
Watching is also sent.
-
Two days later, Fang Zihan passed by that cafe, and met Ning Zhijing who was reading in a corner.It happened that the boss was slow, so she greeted her, sat opposite Ning Zhijing and chatted for a while, and found that they liked the same writer.
After a week, Fang Zihan drank all the coffee from other shops, and felt that the coffee from the one Ning Zhijing introduced was not as mellow.She went shopping and met Ning Zhijing again.Ning Zhijing raised the book in her hand and said with a smile, "This book is very interesting, thank you for the introduction"
She and Ning Zhijing knew each other, and they had something to talk about, but they couldn't reach the level of friends.They have contact information but they don't make appointments. When they meet, they just chat for a few words, and sometimes they go their own way after saying hello.
Another time has passed.
One night, Fang Zihan wanted to find a place to rest, so he picked the one where Ning Zhijing might meet by chance.She was already a regular customer, and the boss recognized her without Ning Zhijing's company, and sat in a familiar seat.
"Have you been in contact with Zhijing recently?" the boss asked, "I haven't seen her for a long time."
"Me too." Fang Zihan didn't care, "She might be busy."
The boss nodded without asking.
Fang Zihan picked up the cup and took a sip of hot milk tea, feeling the comfort of warmth sweeping through his body.The feeling of warmth and leisure is too comfortable, so when she heard the sound of the call and saw the word "Mr. Chu", it took her two seconds to recover, "Hello?"
"Go check Qianqian's sister, the sooner the better."
Fang Zihan frowned, reversing the style of "just do it and never ask too many questions", and replied, "Why?"
Fortunately, Mr. Chu was very patient about his sweetheart, and patiently answered her, "Qianqian can't contact her, I'm worried."
"Oh." Fang Zihan thought of what the boss said just now, his heart skipped a beat, and he squeezed the phone tightly to maintain his calm tone.
After hanging up the phone, she contacted someone who was good at investigation without delay.These people are veterans, and while they were on the phone with her, they began to look up the traces Ning Zhijing left on the Internet, and within 5 minutes they said, "I found it."
Fang Zihan asked anxiously, "Is nothing wrong?"
"What could happen." The investigator said with a smile, "She and her husband went on a trip, and they are happy in love. The information has been sent to you, so you can read it yourself."
Fang Zihan thanked him, hung up the phone and started watching.
The so-called information is a group photo of Ning Zhijing and her husband. The background ranges from the sunset on the beach to the sea of bright flowers, and the poses range from holding hands to hugging.
Fang Zihan took a quick look, turned it off, and then asked the boss for a cold salad that he once disliked.
When the salad was on the table, she looked down, and when she saw the little tomato, she remembered that Ning Zhijing liked to eat this.
"Tsk." Fang Zihan rubbed the center of his brows, and told himself in his heart, "If you want to report to President Chu, you must read it."
After some psychological construction, she opened the "information" just now again.
Fang Zihan took a look with a deep heart, and found something wrong - Ning Zhijing smiled softly, and was hugged by her husband, her slightly sideways arc and clenched fingers revealed a trace of reluctance.
She even felt that Ning Zhijing's smile was not as relaxed as when she first met her.
Fang Zihan fell into deep thought.
"Isn't it delicious?" The boss asked when he passed by and found that she was not moving the salad at all.
"Very good, I'm busy with things, I'll eat later."
"That's right." The boss chuckled, "Zhi Jing likes this very much."
like.
The boss said casually, but Fang Zihan was awakened: Why does she think this cafe is not so good?Why does she care so much about Ning Zhijing's whereabouts?Why can't she bear the intimate photo of Ning Zhijing and her husband?
After she figured it out, she stopped hesitating, found the Weibo account where the photo came from, and sent a private message, "I'm Fang Zihan."
Ning Zhijing replied after half an hour, without asking why she knew the Weibo account that only her younger sister knew, she just said:
"Can you chat with me?"
