Chapter 63 Stay in Cloud City
When Qiangui drove several people back to Luoyuan, the sky gradually darkened and dinner was ready.
In the large restaurant on the first floor, Luo Tianqi and Ruan Lingqiu sat opposite each other at both ends of the Western-style long dining table. Luo Hanfeng and Bai Shuan sat on one side, and opposite them sat Jingmin and Yu.
The restaurant was surprisingly quiet. Only a few maids kept going in and out, intermittently making slight footsteps; they were busy on the ground, leaning over the table to change dishes, the friction between their clothes, and the dull collision between the heavy silverware and the white porcelain bowls of the host during the meal...
The atmosphere was strangely quiet, and Bai Shu'an naturally felt strange.
This is her first family banquet since she married into the Luo family. Tonight, even Jing Min, who is usually chattering like a yellow sparrow, can't help but be silent. She can't help speculating secretly. Is it possible that the Luo family usually eats so seriously? If so, even if they eat high-end mountain delicacies, they will chew wax.
He raised his head slightly and secretly glanced at Luo Hanfeng, who was sitting beside him. He found that he was eating the food on the plate leisurely and naturally, and then quickly swept Yu and Jingmin's faces. The two looked heavy. It seemed that the problem must be with the two of them. Has their affairs been...
Slowly swallowed a piece of steak, and the knife and fork in his hand was still pulling the remaining piece. The restaurant suddenly made a "squeak" like a saw-like discordant tune...
The Luo family's meals are mainly Western food, supplemented by Chinese food. After these days of training on Lianxin Island, she is glad that her stomach has gradually begun to adapt.
At this time, Ruan Lingqiu first used up the food on the plate. He casually picked up the pure white towel on his side and wiped his mouth. He glanced at Jing Min, who was silently nibbling at the fish steak on one side. He looked directly at Luo Tianqi, who was sitting opposite him. His calm voice was like the sound of a collision between the porcelain in front of the table, and it sounded coldly in the empty and quiet restaurant. Li: "Jingmin will go back to the United States with me the day after tomorrow, and that's the decision."
"I don't want to go back!" Jing Min's voice was as low as a mosquito fly, but it clearly penetrated into the ears of the people present.
"I have been away for more than ten days. If I don't go back, the company will make trouble." The volume was lowered a little, and the tone became slightly softer, but it was still an unquestionable and uncompromising tone.
"I want to go back to you, but I won't go back!" Jingmin was still stubborn, but she did not dare to look up to face Ruan Lingqiu's eyes, so she had to look at Luo Tianqi with a help-seeking look.
"Let's listen to the reason why Jingmin stayed first." Luo Tianqi put the knife and fork in his hand, looked at his daughter with encouraging eyes, and proposed to Ruan Lingqiu.
"That..." Seeing that her mother had no objection, Jingmin coughed twice, cleared her throat, raised her voice and said, "Anyway, I have graduated from college. I'm not going to find something to do. In the United States, it's not that I haven't tried it. Those masters know how to rely on the old. Although my design level is not outstanding, there is always a medium level, but they don't pay attention to me at all. I don't want to go back and be angry.
Besides, Dad Group's economic strength is second to none in China. In the past few days, after in-depth investigation and research, I found that Dad's clothing brands, especially the high-end brand 'Dream Like', are of those designers at a regular level and lack of novelty. If I join, it will definitely make it refreshing. I want to make "Meng Ruqi" not only unique in the domestic market, but also gradually go to the world, which will kill those stinky old men!
How about it? Mom, are you very proud of my lofty ambition? It depends on the face that I finally want to do something seriously. Let me continue to stay in Yuncheng.
After Jing Min finished speaking, she looked at Ruan Lingqiu with a pleading tone and expectant eyes.
I don't know if it was because she was a little surprised to hear that Jing Min did not want to return to the United States, or because of other unknown reasons, Ruan Lingqiu's face turned pale in an instant, and a thin palm under the table unconsciously clenched the napkin hanging around her waist.
"No, I won't let you stay here alone." There is no doubt that the tone is resolute.
Jingmin's originally confident eyes lost her look in an instant. She didn't understand why her mother was so stubborn. She must have racked her brains these days to come up with this sufficient reason, but she didn't expect to be rejected so easily. I had to cast a miserable look at Luo Tianqi again.
"I think Jingmin's reason is quite sufficient. She can not only give full play to his expertise, but also realize his ideals, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Why on earth don't you agree? Ling Qiu, don't make Jingmin too sad in front of so many juniors.
This is the first time that Bai Shu'an heard Luo Tianqi call Ruan Lingqiu's name. This old call was a little bitter and tender, and it sounded particularly charming.
An unsident hesitation and confusion flashed in Ruan Lingqiu's eyes, and soon regained his previous calmness. "Jingmin's ideal is to be his own clothing brand, not to stay to help you clean up the mess and help you carry forward that broken brand..."
Bai Shu'an Mingming saw a look of anger on Luo Tianqi's face, but he did not vent it after all. His suddenly tightened eyebrows gradually stretched out. The cold and devious face, which was a little similar to Luo Hanfeng, only flashed a trace of pain, and once again showed a just the right smile. His tone was calm and calm, no There are some ups and downs.
"If you don't agree with Jingmin's stay in Yuncheng for this reason, then we can discuss it again. You are not the only mother who cares about Jingmin's future. As a father, I will certainly fully support her to realize her ideals. Our group is fully capable of helping Jingmin set up her own studio and launch her own clothing brand.
Hearing this, Bai Shu'an suddenly looked up at Luo Tianqi. After several years of baptism, the face that had gone through the vicissitudes of life silently bloomed with his own glory. His tall body faintly shimmered between the silver and white utensils. For his tolerance, she suddenly had a trace of admiration. It was strange that she should have hated him. But why do you feel different about him again and again?
Jingmin's eyes were red, and she looked at Ruan Lingqiu with tears in her eyes.
At this time, Luo Hanfeng, who had been sitting quietly next to him and was speechless, suddenly opened his mouth. His tone was unprecedentedly humble and soft. "Mom, Jingmin first arrived in Yuncheng, that is, to be fresh. After a while, she was tired of playing here. Even if you don't urge her, she probably won't stay for a day. From childhood to age, you know her temper best. At that time, I will naturally send a special plane to send her back.
Ruan Lingqiu seemed to turn a blind eye to Luo Hanfeng's advice, but her heart has begun to waver. Yes, her daughter has been playful since she was a child, and there is no character in doing things. She is often three-minute heat.
When she was a child, she aspired to be a painter. She tried her best to hire a famous teacher to teach her. As a result, the teacher changed several times, but her interest became weaker and weaker.
When she grew up, she said that she wanted to be a journalist, so she looked everywhere for teachers to learn pronunciation and practice eloquence. As a result, the popularity lasted for about two years before she went to middle school, and she wanted to be a teacher again...
In a word, all kinds of strange ideas will keep coming up in her mind. If she can't achieve her goal, she will never give up.
When she went to college, her dream changed several times, and finally she chose a fashion designer. Because she said that she wanted to design the most beautiful clothes in the world and make herself and her mother an eternal queen and princess, Ruan Lingqiu compromised with her words. From then on, she willingly paved the way and bridge for her.
After graduating from college, she originally placed her daughter in the best fashion design company in New York. I had hoped that she could settle down and learn some skills to lay a solid foundation for her to create her own brand in the future.
But she has only been there for a few months, and the senior designers in the company came to complain to her, saying that she was very arrogant and arrogant, and that she was always acting like a young lady and unable to cooperate with others.
In a society that calls for fair competition everywhere, a spoiled and arrogant personality like a daughter is indeed out of place.
Alas, it's also because I have spoiled her so much over the years that I can't control her today.
Ruan Lingqiu knows that her daughter is quite talented in design and knows that she can help her financially, but the most important thing is that she can face up to her ability and stick to this road...
Ruan Lingqiu thought about it and forgot that she was in the restaurant at this moment. Everyone around her, especially her daughter with an aggrieved face, was waiting for her reply.
She forced a smile at her daughter and stretched out a hand. The beautiful little princess quickly obediently got into her arms and hugged her neck and sobbed.
"Well, in front of so many people, a big girl's family is not ashamed." Ruan Lingqiu raised her hand to brush away the tears on her daughter's cheeks and pinched her little face with infinite pity. "It's not impossible for you to stay here, but mom will worry about you."
Jingmin was very happy to hear the meaning of her words. She quickly straightened up and shouted, "What's the matter? Dad and brother are here, and my sister-in-law. They will take care of me. Besides, I'm the only one in the world to bully others. Whichever comes to bully me, mom, don't worry."
"How long do you plan to stay in Yuncheng?"
"I'm determined to make some achievements this time. When I make a satisfactory work, I will naturally go back to see you."
Ruan Lingqiu glanced at her daughter suspiciously, raised her hand and gently scratched her pretty nose, and said dotingly, "Don't say it. Don't go back on this time."
"Repentance is a puppy!" Jingmin rubbed and rubbed happily in her mother's arms. After a while, she came out and secretly glanced at Bai Shu'an, and actually made a grimace at her, with a narrow smile when she was completely treacherous.
Bai Shu'an only felt angry and funny. This Jingmin was really like a ghost and elf. In order to stay in Yuncheng, she came up with the high-sounding reason and played this good play. Even Ruan Lingqiu couldn't do anything about her.
At this time, Jingmin had jumped out of her mother's arms and sat in her own position.
Ruan Lingqiu looked at Luo Tianqi carefully, but changed her arrogant look just now, and her tone became humble. "Then Jingmin, please take good care of her."
Luo Tianqi smiled as usual, "You are still polite to me."
Alas, which one did the couple stage?
