So she came to pick out a wedding dress for her sister and not because of herself?
Joey Xu’s frown loosens slightly.
Zhao Yuanyuan changed into a new set of clothes and came out, just to see Joey Xu sitting there with a dark face. She was a bit afraid of such Joey Xu, and carefully called out, but he didn’t look up.
Zhao Yuanyuan was a little unsure of what to do and passed her eyes to the waiter on the side, signaling the other party to open the door for her.
The waiter coughed lightly before bending his head and calling softly, ” Mr. Xu.”
Joey Xu then snapped back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at the other man.
The other party respectfully gestured, “Your fiancée asked you to take a look at the wedding dress, what do you think of this one.”
“Both.” Joey Xu just swept a faint glance at Zhao Yuanyuan, who suddenly and uncontrollably imagined another woman in a wedding dress.
“Joey Xu, you’ve been perfunctory, I’m going to be sad.” Zhao Yuanyuan pouted her lips and carried her wedding dress and sat down next to Joey Xu. Joey Xu ignored her and was still trapped in her own thoughts when her cell phone suddenly rang.
He took it over and glanced at it, his eyes sunk slightly, and only said to Zhao Yuanyuan, “You try it first, and wrap it up if you like it.”
And then, taking the phone, he stepped aside.
The caller was no other than Zhao Lanlan.
“Joey Xu, where are you now? I want to talk to you.”
“Trying on wedding dresses with Yuan Yuan.” Joey Xu said bluntly, hearing Zhao Lanlan’s breathing slightly heavier over there, “Do you have a minute? I need to talk to you.”
“That depends on what you talk about, if it’s about my marriage to Hope …”
“Sammy Jones!” interrupted Jo Langland, “I’ll talk to you about Sammy Jones, are you interested?”
Joey Xu mused for a split second, and then, simply said, “Where do we meet?”
Zhao Lanlan said the address.
Andrea Jones thought Sammy Jones was extremely out of sorts; she’d been looking preoccupied ever since she’d come out of the bridal store.
“Sis, are you okay?” Andrea Jones worriedly even looked at her face a couple times.
“Of course it’s fine, what could I possibly want?” Sammy Jones replied with mock relief. Glancing down at his wristwatch, “I’m going to meet the landlord who’s selling the house later. Might not be able to accompany you back, can you manage on your own?”
“I’m just pregnant, it’s not like I can’t take care of myself. You guys are too uptight.” Andrea Jones smiles a happy smile.
“That’s right, you don’t see how golden you are.” Sammy Jones snickered, reaching out to stop the cab and let her get in first, “Hurry up, it’s dreary and I hear there’s a storm tonight.”
“Uh-huh. Then you also need to go back early, also, you have lost a lot of weight lately, you need to eat more to make up for it, don’t lose any more weight.” Andrea Jones is still chattering, Sammy Jones listens to the warmth in his heart, nodding and nodding one by one, “Got it, get in the car.”
Only then did Andrea Jones get into her car and leave.
Watching the car disappear, Sammy Jones stood on the curb and proceeded to hail a cab. Soon enough, an empty cab stopped in front of her, and she got in, and before she could give her address, she saw an all-too-familiar car, passing by the cab.
The man in the driver’s seat, expressionless and unseeing …
Beside him, there was no his fiancée.
Sammy Jones smiled to himself, what did that have to do with her?
“Where to, miss? Close the car door in a hurry.”
“Oh, sorry.” As an afterthought, Sammy Jones slammed the car door shut, which brought him back to his senses and gave the address.
Car, slowly traveling in the city. She just leaned back and sat in the car, her eyes lingering outside the window, looking at it, tears unconsciously slipped down. Outside the window, the sky is getting worse and worse, stuffy, like it will step down at any time, so that even her heart is pressed hard.
Sniffled and swallowed back the tears. A little while later, I arrived at the cafe where I had an appointment with my landlord.
Push the door in, while calling the landlord, while looking around. The line of sight, touching a pair of silhouettes, abruptly stopped …
Surprisingly Joey Xu …
Across from him sat, Zhao Lanlan.
She laughed a little.
His private life, it seems, is really messy. He had just finished accompanying Zhao Yuanyuan to try on her wedding dress, and now he was here to accompany Zhao Lanlan. Previously, there was also a her mixed in …
Thankfully, she was no longer one of his many women.
Sammy Jones celebrated, but the shibboleth swirled out in a circle in his heart.
The phone, for the moment, was picked up. Over there, the landlord’s voice came through, “Hey, Miss Jones, are you there yet?”
Sammy Jones snapped back to attention and took his eyes off the two figures, “Here we are, may I ask where you are?”
And then …
She saw a middle-aged woman waving her hand and walking toward her.
“Miss Jones, we’ve been delayed too, so why don’t we go check out the house first and we’ll talk on the way. It’s looking like rain.”
Sammy Jones doesn’t want to stay here any longer.
She nodded and followed the other out of the cafe. When she pulled the door open, she still couldn’t hold back and looked back towards the inside …
On the other side, Joey Xu and Zhao Lanlan sit opposite each other.
“Just say what you have to say.” Joey Xu was still upset in his mind at this moment.
Zhao Lanlan stirred her coffee with her head down and asked, “Are you really going to marry Yuan Yuan?”
This topic made Joey Xu frown.
“I thought you didn’t call me over to talk about her.”
Zhao Lanlan laughed a little, “Look at you now, how are you going to marry Yuan Yuan with this look. Joey Xu, marriage is not a child’s play, you won’t be happy marrying Yuan Yuan, you don’t love her!”
Joey Xu looked at her with a slight sneer, “In that case, Mrs. Xia should be happily married, and now she’s able to lecture me with conviction.”
Zhao Lanlan’s grip on the coffee stirrer tightened slightly as she looked up at him, “Actually, you don’t have to go toe-to-toe with me like this, maybe you think I’m talking to you about Yuan Yuan because I still like you, so I’m holding on to your affair …”
Joey Xu didn’t make a sound, just looked at her and waited for her to continue.
Zhao Lanlan ruffled her hair and took a deep breath before continuing, “I admit, I do still have feelings for you. However, the reason I don’t want you and Yuan Yuan to get married is because it’s not fair to Yuan Yuan for you to get married!”
“She loves you with all her heart, but what do you take her for?” Zhao Lanlan looked fixedly into Joey Xu’s eyes, “Joey Xu, since you’ve fallen in love with someone else, please let Yuan Yuan live. You would ask to be engaged to Yuan Yuan before because of me, now that you don’t even love me anymore, is this revenge still meaningful?”
Joey Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, “What do you mean?”
Zhao Lanlan stood up, “I’ve said everything I need to say. In short, I don’t agree to you guys getting married, although I can’t persuade Dad or Yuan Yuan, I hope you think it through yourself, don’t really get married but start regretting it. That will only hurt Yuan Yuan more!”
She said, getting up and leaving.
Joey Xu sat there for a long time in a daze. And then, he suddenly reached out and clasped Zhao Lanlan. Zhao Lanlan was stunned and bent her head to look at him, he looked up to meet her eyes, “What did you just mean when you said that I’m in love with someone else?”
Zhao Lanlan laughed pale. Joey Xu is really the same Joey Xu, high IQ, but the emotional quotient is zero!
“Do you think you still love me?” She asked softly, her tone had a few poignant moments, “Joey Xu, from the time you tried me over the Sammy Jones thing, it was clear to me that you don’t love me anymore … If it was the Joey Xu of old, he wouldn’t have suspected me.”
Joey Xu slowly stood up and looked at her with a complicated expression.
“So, those pictures sent to the Seo family, did you take them?”
Zhao Lanlan sighed and frankly met his gaze, “If I would have done that, I wouldn’t have come to say these things to you today. I didn’t do it!”
Joey Xu didn’t say anything anymore, and Zhao Lanlan wrenched her hand away from his palm and gave him another look, “Think about it.”
Leaving those words behind before finally turning to leave.
The moment she turned around, Zhao Lanlan realized that Joey Xu, the man in her life, had finally become a passer-by.
And Xia Feiqing …
That uncertain, deep and domineering man may truly haunt her for the rest of her life. That man is ten times more dangerous than Joey Xu. Even if they share the same bed, she will never be able to figure out his mind, nor will she be able to understand his purpose for insisting on marrying her in the first place.
New house.
It was a cozy little house. It’s 60 square feet, not huge, but it’s just right for her to live alone. The décor was new, the landlord had never even lived here, and Sammy Jones fell in love with it right away.
After signing the contract and taking the money, the rest is just a matter of some closing procedures. Coming out of the relevant unit, it was just about time to get off work.
The sky, it was already all dark.
It’s going to rain soon.
Sammy Jones said goodbye to his landlord and stood by the side of the road to stop a car. But it was rush hour, so where could I stop a car?
Even the buses don’t see one coming for a long time.
She simply took her bag and walked up and down the street.
The wind, blowing harder and harder, the ends of her hair flew into the corners of her eyes, hurting her eyes hot and painful. She bought a new house today, and when she moves there, she will start a new life …
The tip of his nose, suddenly cold.
She tilted her head as some rain began to fall.
Around them, people trotted up, bags and clothes on top of their hands.
She didn’t run, instead she walked slowly. The rain, getting heavier and heavier, flew into a torrential downpour. The traffic was already jammed beyond recognition, and the whole city felt like it was in a chaotic space.
Instead, she just took one step at a time, letting the rain beat down on her body …
How to hope, such a rainstorm, can put her heart of the haze and heavy and wash away … can put the mind, heart, carved that man, also wash away …
And …
The deep fatigue in her body and the desire to use it to leave her …
As he walked, his footsteps became heavier and heavier. The cold wind was blowing and it was surprisingly cold.
Now …
It’s clearly not cool season yet.
She embraced herself, looking out across the chaotic blackness of the sky, and she was surprised that she didn’t know where to go from here. She thought, now she is probably really wretched like a crazy person …
Joey Xu drove his car around the city. Outside, the rain was pouring down, and he was getting more and more confused in his mind, going back and forth thinking about what Zhao Lanlan said, and just as he was getting fed up with it, a figure, just like that, barged into his line of sight.
Outside the rain is flying, his heart is more and more chaotic, back and forth in thinking about the words Zhao Lanlan said, just when he is tired of it, a touch of figure, just broke into his line of sight.
Sammy Jones?
His eyes tightened, and in the next instant, his face suddenly darkened. This damn stupid woman! It was raining heavily outside, she didn’t take a taxi, even if she didn’t hold an umbrella, and she dared to walk so leisurely in the torrential rain. Moreover, how long had she been walking? Does she think she’s made of iron?
It’s getting darker and darker.
The pedestrians on the road, too, gradually thinned out, and no one could be seen for a long time.
