Chapter 32 Acquaintance
Being bitten by a poisonous snake will leave sequelae, which is the case with Li Jialan now. Since she found that an uninvited guest entered Liyuan last night, her nerves began to tighten. In addition to the crisis she saw with her own eyes, Li Jialan remembered that in the past, Ji Hao had also secretly sent people to monitor her. This conspirator always loved to do something that could not be seen on the back of the sun and outline a big conspiracy. She had already suffered his losses. She could not keep it over and over again. She didn't know whether to learn a lesson.
While planning to deal with Yue Haoyuan, Li Jialan pays more attention to protecting herself. It's always right to have one more line of defense.
According to the previous number of servants of the Li family, Li Jialan recruited almost the number of servants, which was not her intention to waste. The loneliness that the soul could not expel made her prefer to spend more money and fill the family, hoping that this would temporarily comfort her.
On the way back, Li Jialan was near a hospital and saw Wu Dejun, who had become a taxi driver and was waiting for work on the roadside. Her impression of Wu Dejun has changed. When she saw him, she had a sense of intimacy from the bottom of her heart.
Li Jialan slowly parked the car next to Wu Dejun's car. Wu Dejun was holding a water sprayer and spraying water on the car while wiping the car. He noticed Li Jialan's car, just glanced at it, and then continued to wipe his car with a towel. When Li Jialan opened the window and whistled at him, he lowered his head and went to Li Jialan's car with surprise in his eyes, casually glanced at it, and then focused on wiping his car.
About 30 seconds later, Wu Dejun suddenly reacted and looked down at Li Jialan's car. Then he saw his extremely familiar face and was looking at him with a smile. Suddenly, there was a moist feeling in his eyes. Wu Dejun quickly straightened up and pretended to wipe off the water accidentally spilled from his eyes. After putting down the spray kettle, he smiled and looked at Li Jialan's car again. At this time, Li Jialan also got out of the car. Around to Wu Dejun's side, before she could speak, Wu Dejun had shouted at her excitedly, still the previous name, "Miss!"
"Get off work early." Without hypocritical politeness, Li Jialan spoke directly, let alone let Wu Dejun understand what to do next. This is Li Jialan's previous consistent style, domineering and subjective self.
"Good." Wu Dejun nodded and didn't ask much. He turned around and put the kettle and towel in his hand into the trunk. Drive behind Li Jialan's car.
It was already evening. Li Jialan led the way and drove the car to the parking lot outside an Italian restaurant.
After Wu Dejun stopped the car, he saw that Li Jialan actually brought him here. He looked at Li Jialan with a little uncertain eyes, but he had long been used to Li Jialan's personality and didn't say much. He followed Li Jialan into the restaurant.
This night, Wu Dejun ate very orthodox Western food for the first time. He is not used to using knives and forks, and he doesn't know how to use them, or Li Jialan teaches him little by little. And told him to eat the most authentic Western food and come to an Italian restaurant, because the mother of real Western food is not French cuisine, but Italian food. Later, after the French learned the essence of Italian cuisine and added its own style, they had the famous French cuisine.
Wu Dejun listened carefully and listened to Li Jialan's words.
In Wu Dejun's feeling, although he hasn't met Li Jialan for five years, that kind of familiarity still cannot be banned.
"It must be hard to drive a taxi." Halfway through the meal, Li Jialan brought the topic to Wu Dejun's current situation.
"Ha ha, it's okay." Wu Dejun had a simple smile on his face.
"I happened to meet you. I have a harder job and I can't find anyone?" Li Jialan seemed to say casually.
"?" Wu Dejun's face was blank.
"Come back and drive me." Li Jialan drank the seafood cup elegantly and did not look up at Wu Dejun's reaction.
Wu Dejun's hand with a knife and fork trembled because of Li Jialan's words. He had been opened by Li Jialan before, and he didn't expect to have a chance to drive her.
"What? I'm tired." Li Jialan raised her head and raised her eyebrows.
"Will I go to work tomorrow? So will the monthly salary be paid on the 5th? I have to report to my wife. Wu Dejun clenched the knife and fork and asked in a calm tone.
"You are a pig brain. Do you go to work on the 5th and get paid on the 5th? Don't you still earn a few more days on the 1st? Li Jialan glanced coldly at Wu Dejun and told him that he was a fool.
It's the first time to hear Li Jialan talk to him in such a style. It's a little stubborn. Wu Dejun still can't get used to it. After a long time, he touched the back of his head and smiled.
In fact, there is no need for Li Jialan to hire a driver at all. If she hadn't seen Wu Dejun driving a taxi, she would have known the hard work of the taxi driver, and she wouldn't have thought of it. When she understood the kindness of that person, she would have reciprocated. Similarly, those who are evil to her, she would have doubled everything. Still.
After the meal, Li Jialan paid the bill, and the waiter also brought the takeaway she had asked for before. Li Jialan asked Wu Dejun to take the takeaway home and let his wife and children eat it. Wu Dejun silently took the takeaway and said thank you, these simple words, but in his heart, it was warm and touching.
Wu Dejun left first.
Li Jialan's footsteps stopped because she saw a familiar figure.
Huo Yan.
At this time, Huo Yan was sitting not far from Li Jialan, as if waiting for someone.
Sometimes, the furthest distance in the world is not the ends of the earth, but she is next to the person she cares about most, but he doesn't know who she is.
More than five months ago, when he saw Huo Yan, he was already tanned. Now his skin is darker, but it does not diminish his charm at all, but adds to the sexiness of healthy men. The handsome and resolute face also adds a man's mature charm.
I really want to know who Huo Yan is waiting for. Even if she knows that he is no longer a person in her life, she is not qualified to care about who is around him. She still can't control her extravagant expectations.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of sitting and waiting, Li Jialan ordered another pizza.
A few minutes later, Huo Yan and other people appeared, not Bai Rui, but Xie Xuanye. Seeing Xie Xuanye, Li Jialan was a little surprised. She didn't know that Xie Xuanye and Huo Yan had become good friends. Seeing that these two were very important to her, Li Jialan smiled slightly at the corners of her lips. Naturally, she was very happy to see them. Or it should be said that she saw that the person Huo Yan was waiting for was not any woman, but Xie Xuanye, so she was very happy.
In fact, Li Jialan can't eat any more. In order to pass the time, he cut the pizza into small pieces and slowly stuffed it into his mouth, purely to pass the time.
Until a woman's laughing voice and noisy voice broke the quiet of the restaurant, Li Jialan frowned at the woman's poor quality. Looking back, she immediately sighed that today seemed to be the day when acquaintances met. In this famous Italian restaurant, she not only saw Huo Yan and Xie Xuanye, but also Nan Xinyue is on the side of the corner.
At this time, Nan Xinyue was talking to a middle-aged man who was 40 years old, and did not avoid her loud and laughing, which affected the dining of the people around her.
"She, I blushed and knew her. What kind of strong woman in the mall fell in love with a man who was begging for nothing. She didn't want her, and she still stuck upside down..." Who is this talking about?
Li Jialan felt harsh when she heard Nan Xinyue's words. Absolutely have something to do with her.
Sure enough, Li Jialan guessed correctly, and she heard the clue in the next sentence.
"It's still that coquettish look. 500,000 yuan patted a small white-faced bracelet. There is no clap string here. I just want to buy/chun. You haven't seen her dirty face." Nan Xinyue said vividly. It was also these words that completely provoked Li Jialan. In the past, she was reborn as Nan Xinyi. Because of the image of the original owner, she didn't want to be recognized and suspected. Everything was dumb and tolerant to Nan Xinyue. Now she has restored her identity and doesn't need to endure anything at all? Nan Xinyue can immediately go back and never tolerate any amount of dirty water she throws on her body.
Moreover, Xie Xuanye and Huo Yan are over there. Huo Yan doesn't know her current identity and personality, but Xie Xuanye is different. He clearly knows what kind of person Li Jialan is. Nan Xinyue speaks so loudly, and the content will be heard clearly by Xie Xuanye. He was at the auction. How could he I don't understand who Nan Xinyue is talking about. If she bows her head and endures here, it will make Xie Xuan suspicious at night.
Li Jialan stood up, went straight to Nan Xinyue's table, picked up the red wine on the table and splashed it on Nan Xinyue's face.
"You are sick." Nan Xinyue was splashed with red wine on her face, and she didn't react at all, screaming in a shrill voice.
"How many cups have you had? So unconscious, I don't even forget anyone?" Li Jialan said with a sneer. She is Li Jialan. Her label is arrogant and domineering. She will never care about other people's impressions and comments on her.
Her voice attracted the attention of another table without surprise, that is, Huo Yan and Xie Xuanye. When Huo Yan heard Li Jialan's voice, his hand shook, and the fork in his hand almost fell out of his hand. He suddenly turned his head, looked at the place where the extremely familiar voice came, and saw the figure that made him remember even more. He almost stood up and thought about going next to the figure.
"She is not happy!" Xie Xuanye shouted at him in time.
Huo Yan looked at Xie Xuanye in constersation and didn't believe what he said.
At this time, Nan Xinyue helped Xie Xuanye call out the name he wanted to say--
"Jia... Sister Jialan..." When Nan Xinyue saw the person in front of her clearly, she was so scared that she fought a cold war, and her face turned pale and more like a ghost in an instant. She has been afraid of Li Jialan since she was a child. This habit continued until Li Jialan disappeared. After her whereabouts disappeared, the shadow in her heart disappeared. I didn't expect to be so unlucky today that I bumped into her in the restaurant, and it was when she buried her.
"You have been picking up garbage in the past few years. You have been mixed with those flies and mosquitoes all day long, and the quality has become the same as those disgusting creatures." Li Jialan's eyes were angry. Even the middle-aged man who ate with Nan Xinyue was scared by Li Jialan's sharp eyes and tilted straight into the seat.
"Sister Jialan..., I..." Nan Xinyue trembled with fear and couldn't care about wiping the wine stains on her face. She looked at Li Jialan with fear that she would punch and kick her again. In the past, when I provoked Li Jialan when I was a child, I would be severely beaten by her.
"As long as I don't forget who I am." Human nature is a very strange thing. Obviously, they are afraid of certain people or things, but they still provoke and don't know how to restrain and avoid taboos. Li Jialan scraped Nan Xinyue's face fiercely with ice knife-like eyes. Then walk back to the original position. She is not a shrew. She will lose her temper in public and will not be wild in full view of the public. Splashing a glass of wine on Nan Xinyue is enough to humiliate Nan Xinyue and can stop.
In this way, Li Jialan and Nan Xinyue became the focus of the restaurant.
Li Jialan didn't mind other people's eyes, but she had been noticed by Huo Yan and Xie Xuanye, and she would feel a little uncomfortable, so she paid the bill and was ready to leave.
"Can we sit together?" Xie Xuanye came with a bottle of red wine when Li Jialan was about to leave.
"I'm sorry, I've finished eating." Li Jialan is polite and estranged.
"A glass of red wine should be okay. It's rare to meet here." Xie Xuanye had an indifferable smile on his face and was not embarrassed by Li Jialan's indifference at all.
"I'm sorry, I don't think such a chance encounter is a reason to drink. In addition, it is very impolite to force other people's will. Li Jialan stood up and did not save face for Xie Xuanye. She didn't want to negotiate too much with Xie Xuanye, so as not to pay attention to something to avoid and be afraid of being discovered by Xie Xuanye.
Xie Xuanye laughed, "Why do I feel that you are afraid of me?"
Li Jialan shook her head and smiled disdainfully, "It's a pity that I don't like this." After saying that, Li Jialan picked up his handbag and left with a cold face.
Out of the restaurant, Li Jialan took a long breath and thought that it would be better to find a famous restaurant for dinner in the future, so as not to bump into so many acquaintances. While sighing, her hand was suddenly pulled from behind. It was so abrupt that she was so shocked that she instinctively waved to the man who grabbed her hand with her handbag. Now, this hand was also caught by the man.
Li Jialan just stood in the sun and looked up at the person who was rude to her, but her eyes were filled with golden light stimulated by the afterglow of the sunset. And the tall figure, rendering a golden light in the sun, like a god falling from the sky.
Huo Yan! Li Jialan's chin almost fell off. What did he chase her out for?
"Do you think it's rude for you to leave like this?" Huo Yan's voice is as cold as the autumn wind.
"What?" Li Jialan shook off Huo Yan and clamped her hand and stood on the side of Huo Yan to relieve the harsh pressure of the sun.
"Don't you think you should apologize to the lady inside who was bullied by you?" Huo Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Jialan with contemptuous eyes.
Li Jialan almost laughed, but it was not a happy smile, but a sarcastic smile, "Who are you? Messenger of Justice?"
"Where's your car?" Huo Yan suddenly changed the topic, which made Li Jialan feel a little confused. Is he nervous? Anyway, Li Jialan felt that he was quite abnormal at this time.
"What are you doing? You want to rob." Li Jialan was indignant.
Who is so stupid? Do I have to report the robbery to you first? Huo Yan looked at Li Jialan with an idiotic look.
Li Jialan's nose was immediately crooked. What the hell is this dead Huo Yan playing?
"Let's go. Don't stand there. You want to be a free sculpture in the restaurant." Huo Yan stretched out his finger and flicked Li Jialan's nose, and then grabbed Li Jialan's hand and walked to the parking lot.
When Huo Yan touched Li Jialan's hand, the familiar big palm gave her the throbbing that made her panic and subconsciously withdrew her hand, but was stubbornly rejected by Huo Yan.
"I don't know you." Li Jialan's heart panicked. Did Huo Yan recognize her? Otherwise, what is he doing?
"It doesn't matter. I know you. Don't worry, I didn't treat you as a bad person." Huo Yan slanted at Li Jialan and said words that made Li Jialan laugh and cry. What on earth is he doing? What is the logic of taking the initiative to approach her and stand in the position of an innocent person? Has she been out of touch with this society? Why doesn't she understand Huo Yan's thinking at this time?
"Oh." Li Jialan was dragged by Huo Yan and walked to the parking lot. Until her car was found.
Li Jialan planned to sit in the driver's seat, but was dragged away by Huo Yan. He sat in the driver's seat.
Dizzy, is he really going to rob her car? Li Jialan stood stupidly outside the car, and she was a fool in front of Huo Yan.
"To get in the car, you are going to be a beauty sculpture here." Huo Yan opened the window and shouted to Li Jialan.
Did he really recognize her? Li Jialan was entangled. Otherwise, her current identity and Huo Yan are strangers. Why did he do this with a stranger? It doesn't make sense. Li Jialan is guilty and unnatural.
"To get in the car!" Huo Yan shouted to Li Jialan again, with some frivolence in his eyes, "A sculpture like you is unsightly here. Don't you know it yourself?"
Dead Huo Yan! Li Jialan cursed helplessly in her heart. Of course, she knew Huo Yan's character and knew what kind of domineering and subjective he was. At this time, there was no need to stand with him and see what he wanted to do.
Li Jialan opened the back door and sat in the back seat. Huo Yan glanced at Li Jialan from the rearview mirror of the carriage and started the car.
The car left the parking lot and drove on the highway. Li Jialan sat in the back seat and was silent. No matter how well she wore her mask in front of Huo Yan, she still felt that it would crack, and she was afraid that she would be recognized by Huo Yan.
All the way, Huo Yan was also silent, as if he only focused on driving, but from time to time he would glance at Li Jialan from the rearview mirror. On the handsome Juechen's face, the expression was always tense. I don't know what he was thinking at this time?
Li Jialan glanced out of the car and looked at the car as if it seemed to be driving towards the outer ring. Li Jialan increasingly couldn't understand what Huo Yan was doing?
