Chapter 41 Congratulations, Sang Nian

After Zheng Jieyuan sent me the location, the phone couldn't get through any more. I looked at the location. He was in a suburb very far from the city, close to Wuyan Mountain.

It took more than two hours to drive to the location, or the location nearby.

After wandering around the foot of the mountain for a long time, could not find a way to go up, so had no choice but to ask the nearby villagers for directions. As a result, the name of the village said that this mountain has no lane, and if you want to go to the top of the mountain, you can only climb slowly along the one-person climbing path.

Looking up at the narrow climbing path under the shade of the trees, I couldn't see the head at a glance, I picked up the clothes bag that was not heavy in my hand, and had an urge to put it down and turned away. how...

With a long sigh, the leather shoes stepped onto the slippery steps, and I resignedly began to climb up the mountain little by little.

Nai He and Zheng Jieyuan have been friends for more than ten years. Now he has nothing and is lonely and weak. Since he called me, it means that the first person he thinks of helping him is me.

The wild cats in the wheels have been rescued, how can he be left alone with such a big man?

The weather has been bad these days, the mountains are wet and cold, and there is no sun yet. But just like that, I was still crawling out of breath and sweating profusely. And because of wearing inappropriate trousers and shoes, I didn't get to the top of the mountain for half an hour.

Fuck, which neuropathy brought Zheng Jieyuan here?

After resting on my knees for a while, I gritted my teeth and continued to climb for another twenty minutes. Finally, I saw a bright blue roof next to the silent mountain path.

I took out my mobile phone to check the location, and found that the signal in the mountains was poor. My mobile phone has been swinging back and forth between a weak signal and no service. Mo had no choice but to step on the fallen leaves and approach the villa that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

The blue and white façade has been mottled over the years, and the yard is overgrown with withered grass, and the eroded courtyard door is slanted, opening a path for the two of them to walk in.

Every window has a white curtain, the surroundings are eerily quiet, the sky is darker, and there are a few more crows in the yard. This is a typical haunted house scene in horror movies.

He raised his hand and rang the doorbell, because it was in disrepair and seemed to be dumb. So I kicked hard against the locked door with my foot instead, shouting Zheng Jieyuan's name at the same time.

"I'm coming!"

After a burst of hurried footsteps in the door, the door was pushed open at once, and behind the door appeared Zheng Jieyuan wrapped in a white sheet, looking like he had suffered a serious crime.

"I forgot... I just went to the bar as usual and drank a lot of alcohol. I thought someone would take me home, and even if it was bad, they would open a room for me. Who would have thought that I would be here when I woke up."

The inside of the house is more normal than the outside. Although the furniture is covered with white cloth, and the floor and lamps are covered with thick dust, at least the shadow of a civilized society can be seen.

The ashes in the fireplace were still warm, indicating the fact that someone was using it last night, which is probably why I didn't feel too cold when I stepped inside.

"When I woke up, all my clothes were gone, and I was lying naked on the carpet, covered with a white cloth..."

According to the dust marks on the ground, it can be judged that the sofa in the living room has been moved. After the prisoner moved the sofa that was in the way, he moved a huge white rug from nowhere. Judging from the wine bottles and cups on the side, the other party even sat on the rug leisurely and had two drinks.

There were some red marks on the carpet, which looked like blood at first glance, but on closer inspection, it seemed to be some kind of paint residue.

"Do you feel anything?" I looked up and asked Zheng Jieyuan, who was wearing clothes around the corner, with a bad premonition in my heart.

"Feeling? No, it's normal." He put on his shoes and pants, walked out of the corner, pulled the zipper in his hand, and said angrily, "I'm telling you, don't let me know who is plotting against me like that, Otherwise, I will definitely kill him."

Zheng Jieyuan loves clubbing, but he also pays great attention to body management.

While cursing, he turned his back and bent over to pick up the clothes in the bag on the ground.

I stared at his back and slowly stood up from the ground.

"Wait..." I stopped Zheng Jieyuan and told him to look at his back in a mirror.

The red on the carpet is really pigment, tattoo pigment. On Zheng Jieyuan's originally smooth back, five letters - BITCH were tattooed on the wheat-colored skin like graffiti. The B word is close to the buttocks, and then gradually goes up. The H has almost reached the ribs, as if the stamp is not properly covered, and the bright red is dazzling across the lower back.

This is simply a great shame. Where did Zheng Jieyuan suffer from this kind of anger, and soon the sound of the mirror being smashed and his angry foul language were heard in the bathroom.

After a while, he came out of the bathroom, put on his clothes with a dark face, then pursed his lips tightly, and walked out without saying a word.

When went out, realized that it was snowing outside.

It seems that this year's Chinese New Year will be particularly cold. I looked up at the gloomy sky, thinking this way, I was inadvertently attacked by a snowflake and kissed my eyelashes.

He blinked, blinked away the coldness, and then went to see Zheng Jieyuan, the other party had already walked all the way.

It took us an hour to go up the mountain, but maybe Zheng Jieyuan was very emotional when we went down the mountain, and his footsteps speeded up unconsciously. It only took us three quarters of an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.

As soon as I got in the car, my phone began to vibrate frantically, flooding in a lot of previously blocked information. I flipped through it, and there was a text message from Tang Bian asking where I was, and a text message from Xu Xi asking how my engagement banquet was prepared. Ji Chenfeng made three calls, the first and the second were half an hour apart, and the second and the third were one hour apart. Very unfortunately, I was on the mountain during the period and could not receive the signal.

It's not a big deal anyway, it's probably because you can't find me again, so you keep calling me.

Although the original intention was to cultivate him into a parasite that depends on me for everything, but occasionally when I need to do my own thing, it is what a pet should do without disturbing. Having known Zhou Jiyu for so long, haven't you even learned the essence of this?

Besides, even if I can free up my hands now, Zheng Jieyuan is on the side with such a terrifying expression, how can I talk to him without anyone else?

Not bad for a few hours. Thinking that the other party would call again in an emergency, start the engine, and I took Zheng Jieyuan back to the city.

It was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon to send Zheng Jieyuan home. After they were free, they called back the missed calls on the phone one by one.

Tang Bi'an just routinely asked my location, nothing major. Xu Xi invited me to dinner, and said that she would be responsible for my dress on the engagement day, and asked me not to save her money. In fact, she was already very tired, but she was my elder after all. I tried to say no, but when I found that I couldn't, I agreed.

Finally, call Ji Chenfeng back. He didn't pick up the first one, I called the second one after five minutes, and this time he picked up.

"Sang Nian..." His voice was very low, there was no sound around him, it seemed to be in a fairly quiet environment.

"Sorry, I was in a meeting earlier and didn't have my phone." I started the car and went to the restaurant I made an appointment with Xu Xi according to the navigation. While driving, I used the car's Bluetooth to talk to Ji Chenfeng, "Is there anything you want to do with me?"

"I..." Ji Chenfeng hesitated. After a while, he said, "It's alright, it's alright."

I didn't ask any further questions and hung up just as I was about to say a few more words when he suddenly asked me for leave, saying that he might not be able to come to my place for the next week.

"The doctor said that my mother needs to do some more physical examinations, sorry for taking so long..."

I really dozed off and handed me a pillow. God finally didn't pull me back this time. For a week, it happened to overlap with the engagement banquet. When he came back, everything was settled, and I didn't have to worry about being discovered by him all day long.

"Auntie's health is the most important thing. You can take good care of her. I don't have to worry about it. After all, it was agreed when I hired you. You can ask for leave at any time." In ten days, let him not rush back to work, "I will take good care of Xiaoxue and Juzi, don't worry."

The white cat is called Xiaoxue, and the orange cat is called Juzi, but just like "Xiaocao", they are only called when they are in a good mood. Usually, they only call them "cats" in their hearts.

When Ji Chenfeng heard the words, he seemed to smile: "Thank you, Sang Nian."

Hearing Ji Chenfeng's solemn thanks from the other side, my heart moved, and Zhou Jiyu's words suddenly flashed through my mind. If I never helped Ji Chenfeng, if I wasn't a "hero" at all, if... I wasn't me, would he still like me?

His lips twitched, and the words came to his lips, but in the end he didn't ask.

Because the answer is already known.

"You're welcome."

If I am no longer me, everything will change, not to mention Ji Chenfeng, friendship, family, career, I'm afraid I can't keep any of them.

So I can only be me, I can only be Sang Nian, Ji Chenfeng, and always must be just Ji Chenfeng.

As time goes on, New Year's Eve is getting closer, and the engagement banquet is just around the corner.

I told parents that didn't want to be extravagant and only invited close relatives and friends, so there were only forty or so guests.

The venue is in an old house in the city center. The bungalow has a long history and has lived in many celebrities. It was bought by the Gu family a few years ago and opened a private club to entertain the friends of the Gu family in the shopping mall.

Although it was all fake, it was used for acting, and it was used to cope with the ceremony of both parents, but I still came to the old mansion early that day to prepare and put on the three-piece suit that Xu Xi carefully prepared for me.

"Light grey fabrics look more vibrant,

vest

Can add a warmth in the cold winter, the dark red tie is low-key and rich in taste, and the white shirt is a must in every man's wardrobe. "Xu Xi tidied up my collar for me, nodded with satisfaction, and said with relief, "If my sister can see your engagement, she will be very happy. "

I don't know if she realizes it herself, but she always talks about the phrase "Sister will be very relieved/happy to see how you are". It seems that my existence is just a continuation of Xu Wanyi, and my words and deeds are just to please this woman who has been absent for more than 20 years.

Gu Ying and I have only known each other for a few months, but she doesn't seem to care if I really like each other.

However, her company, Sang Zhengbai, also contributed money, and a lot of money. Even if I told her that she had no intention of taking care of Ying, would she still be able to fight against Sang Zhengbai for me?

That must be impossible.

People are linked by different interests, each with its own selfishness and more or less problems. It is impossible for a 100% selfless person to exist, genes do not allow it, and human nature makes no sense. The love of parents, the love of friends, and the love of lovers are not unconditional. As long as you figure this out, there will be no expectations.

Xu Xi arranged my clothes for me, said that she was going to see Gu Ying, and walked away in high heels. The lounge was quiet and I was alone.

Standing in front of the retro lattice window, looking downstairs, all you can see is white snow, and the waiters come and go in a hurry, all making final preparations.

On the ring finger, the silver ring is like a hooping spell, wrapping my hand and my heart, so that I just look at it, and even my breath is slightly suffocated.

In a few more hours, it's all over.

The ringing of the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang at this moment, I turned around and walked to the table, looked around, and found that it was Zhou Heyu's call.

Frowning, he picked up in a bad tone: "What's the matter?"

"I am indeed a coward and a mean person, but you are no better than me. I have already hurt him once, and there is no way to convince myself to let another bastard hurt him again and I just watch." Zhou Jiyu The words are powerful and full of confidence.

"Listen, I haven't violated my doctor's guidelines. The news of the marriage between Sanggu and Gu is not a big news, but there are also one or two financial media reports. You can find it with a little search. I have already engaged you. Send the news link to Ji Chenfeng, he will never be deceived by you again, Sang Nian."

"When he knows that what he has been trying so hard to hold is just a magic moon in the water, he will never have any nostalgia for it. Whatever you do with me in the future, the big deal is that I and my boyfriend go abroad." After that, he scolded fiercely in English. Dirty words and hung up the phone.

Staring blankly at the phone screen until it completely darkened, my brain was still processing the explosive information that Zhou Heyu suddenly shoved in.

The news of the marriage between Sang Gu and the two? Is there such a thing? Zhou Jiyu, that bastard, even sent it to Ji Chenfeng?

If you want to be a coward, you should be a coward for the rest of your life. What kind of hero do you suddenly become? He also said that he was tired of wearing a mask. I think he did not want to take it off after wearing it.

Okay, then let him know the consequences of being a hero and see how I deal with him...

Shocked and angry, he unlocked the phone screen again, thinking of calling Ji Chenfeng to confirm the truth, but he couldn't remember how to dial. Knowing what to do, the brain also issued instructions, but the body seemed to have made a mistake in parsing the instructions, and it got stuck in the most common step of making a phone call.

How to do? Call up? But how to make a call? Like an idiot, it took me ten times longer than usual to call Ji Chenfeng.

After a few beeps, Ji Chenfeng picked it up.

No one spoke. My ears were full of his light breathing, I held my breath, my brain went off again, and I didn't know what to do with my head.

At this time, a loud car whistle could be heard faintly outside the window. The villa is located in the city center, surrounded by main roads, and the daily traffic is dense, and traffic jams are also common. But the next second, I heard almost the same background tone on the other end of the phone.

"Where are you?" I asked awkwardly.

"Outside... the gate." He snorted very lightly and quickly, with a strong self-deprecation, "I want to see if you really lied to me." With a sigh, he said, "Congratulations, Sangread."

"You listen to me explain..."

After not being able to make phone calls, I don't seem to know how to speak anymore.After holding back for a long time, I just spit out five words pale.In a hurry, I grabbed my phone and ran out the door. I accidentally bumped into Tang Bian on the road. He called me, but I didn't want to stop at all, and ran all the way to the door without looking back.
