Chapter 40 She was on this side, and Jiang Jianchuan was on the other side

. Cheng Xiaoyue was stunned for two seconds before she came to her senses, and immediately slipped behind Cheng Shu and hid.

She looked sneaky and guilty, just like when she came home from kindergarten and was asked by her parents why her pants were wet when she was a child, she stuttered and whispered that the teacher had poured urine on her pants.

For a moment, Jiang Mikawa felt that all the past time had come back.

He felt funny for no reason, raised his eyes and nodded behind Cheng Shu, deliberately asking,

"What happened to your sister?"

Cheng Shu also wanted to know the answer to this question.

But he had exhausted his patience after being teased by Cheng Xiaoyue all the way, so he just casually said,

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel rebellious and itchy again."

Cheng Xiaoyue was still huddled behind him, from an angle that Jiang Michuan couldn't see. , and closed his eyes in despair.

what to do?

She finally made up her mind to stay away, but her decision was shattered instantly with just one look from him.

....

Lin Hui and Jiang Runhong just got off the plane and asked the driver to take them to the hotel to meet their old friends.

The Jiang Family is one of the top architectural design companies in Hong Kong City. It was founded by her grandfather. After Lin Hui got married in Hong Kong City, she spent most of her time with her husband helping to manage the company.

The couple had a son soon after they got married. Jiang Mikawa grew up in Hong Kong City when he was a child. It was not until he was 5 or 5 years old that the family's business expanded to the Jianghai area, and his son was sent back to his hometown in Jiangcheng.

When Cheng Xiaoyue entered the box, she found that many people were already sitting around the huge dining table. Including Cheng Xingye and Lu Qingyue, as well as several friends from their parents' generation.

She obediently greeted Cheng Shu, then followed him step by step, walked to the round table, and sat down next to her parents.

Lin Hui was sitting in front of her.

Not long after Cheng Xiaoyue sat down, she noticed that her future mother-in-law was looking towards her.

She expected that Lin Hui had not seen her for a long time and wanted to see how she had changed, so she folded her hands on her knees and raised her head obediently to look at Lin Hui,

"Aunt Lin."

Lin Hui liked this smart and spiritual person best. little girl. When she stayed in Jiangcheng, she often teased her to call her Mother Lin.

Her eyes fell kindly on Cheng Xiaoyue, taking in her young and immature appearance, she couldn't help but praise her from the bottom of her heart,

"Qorong is so beautiful. The older she gets, the more lovable she becomes."

A 15-year-old girl, indeed It is the most bright and flamboyant age. The small face is full of collagen, and the dark eyes seem to speak for themselves.

Cheng Xingye was naturally proud of having such a little cotton-padded jacket in his family, but he still had to be humble outside, so he smiled and said,

"She is just a well-behaved person on the surface, but she is a little troublemaker secretly."

Lin Hui: " I also like little troublemakers. Girls have to be lively to be cute. I wish I had a daughter like this. "

No, it's not good."

The sweet smile on Cheng Xiaoyue's face froze slightly, and she couldn't tell what her mood was at the moment.

Lin Hui likes her, she has known it all along.

But hearing her say this at this moment, Cheng Xiaoyue felt a little lonely and a little lucky at the same time.

The sad thing is that even Lin Hui only treats her as her own daughter, and has never thought that she can actually be her daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, she is not Lin Hui's biological daughter. Otherwise, if she likes Jiang Jianchuan, it will really lead to brother-sister incest!

After a few seconds of silence, Cheng Xiaoyue stood up, picked up the juice on the table, and obediently leaned over to pour a glass of orange juice for Lin Hui. She lowered her head and said calmly and thoughtfully,

"Even if I am not my daughter, I can still be filial to you!"

The girl's voice had a slight tremor at the end, but it was hidden in the chatter and laughter that filled the box.

No one noticed the subtlety hidden in her words. They only saw her obediently serving tea and water to the elders, just like a caring little cotton-padded jacket.

Lin Hui was naturally overjoyed. She raised her hand and touched her little head, smiling cordially and happily,

"So good!"

Although she tried her best to look natural, Cheng Xiaoyue still keenly captured the fact that Jiang Jianchuan seemed to be indifferently separated by a building. He glanced in their direction.

But before she raised her head, he had already withdrew his gaze and continued to chat with the elders around him with ease.

Cheng Xingye was the only one who sat in the opposite seat without saying a word, feeling something was wrong in his heart -

why did this little cotton-padded jacket feel like it was leaking a little bit today?

The private room was a large round table with 12 seats, and it was almost full at this moment. Only Emikawa sat near the door out of etiquette, and there was an empty chair next to him.

Lin Hui was greeting the waiter to serve the dishes according to the menu arranged in advance. Lu Qingyue and Cheng Xingye crossed the round table and asked Jiang Michuan some questions about the future of the industry. Cheng Shu turned sideways and exchanged pleasantries with the elders at the table.

Cheng Xiaoyue sat beside him silently.

Among the people sitting at the entire table, she was the youngest.

The others are either elders with successful careers or heirs like Jiang Michuan and Cheng Shu who are ready to take over the family business. They can basically find suitable common topics.

She was the only one sitting at the dining table out of place, all she cared about was whether she could finish tomorrow's homework, how to avoid making eye contact with the teacher when answering questions in class, and whether she could avoid procrastinating the last class.

Cheng Xiaoyue realized belatedly that even if the age difference was only 4 years, there was actually a gap between them.

Just like the distance between her and Emikawa at the dinner table now.

She is at this end, and Jiang Michuan is at the other end.

Just as he was thinking blankly, the box door was suddenly pushed open again.

The conversation in the box was interrupted, and everyone looked up at the dark solid wood door in unison.

A tall and slender figure soon appeared outside the door. The person was a young and beautiful girl. She looked surprised as soon as she came in.

"Ah, am I late?"

Her tone was skillful and natural. At first glance, she was following the elders present. We all know each other.

Cheng Xiaoyue had never seen her before, but when she heard an uncle next to her calling her name He Hui, she suddenly remembered that she had seen this name on Jiang Jianchuan's WeChat before.

He Hui was wearing a snow-white embroidered dress, with the hem just above her knees, making her tall and tall, giving her the temperament of a wealthy daughter.

Lin Hui, as tonight's host, saw her coming and greeted her with a smile,

"It's not too late, you've come just in time."

Ying Ding was also very gentle and familiar, vaguely revealing the close relationship between the two.

He Hui greeted the other elders politely, then pulled out the empty chair next to Jiang Michuan and sat down naturally.

Across a large round table, Cheng Xiaoyue's expression was slightly stunned.

The box is spacious and magnificent. But she felt that the air around her seemed to be frozen, and she was forced to be imprisoned in it, so depressed that she could not breathe.
