Chapter 71 You’ve met before
Liang Jingwan glanced back at Su Jinlin, who was dozing off with his head lowered and eyes closed. Lu Shuning didn't open her eyes after she said those words. She glanced at Liang Mingyuan calmly.
Lu Shuning's words made it seem like her cousin was not as considerate as an outsider.
She turned her head and was about to respond when there was a noise beside her.
After Su Jinlin opened her eyes, she stood up suddenly and said in a cold voice: "You guys talk here, I'll go upstairs."
He heard what Lu Shuning said.
There was a thumping sound, and it wasn't until Su Jinlin's back was out of sight that Lu Shuning withdrew his gaze and smiled shyly at Ms. Su on the other side of the sofa.
Liang Jingwan took in Lu Shuning's expression completely, lowered her head and sipped the tea in the cup, hiding her emotions.
In the living room, Ms. Su and Lu Shuning were talking. Liang Mingyuan was playing games, while Liang Jingwan was peeling cashew nuts on the coffee table and throwing them into her mouth one by one.
As twelve o'clock approached, Ms. Su politely asked to stay: "Just stay at our house for lunch today."
"Then I'm not welcome." Lu Shuning answered: "I heard Jing Cheng say that the food at Auntie's house is delicious, but I never had the chance. Today I'm in luck."
Xi Jingcheng and Liang Mingyuan were friends and would go to Liang's house for dinner from time to time.
Ms. Su echoed: "Then you should eat more for lunch today."
"I will definitely do it." Lu Shuning smiled.
Coincidentally, the servant said that the meal was ready, and Ms. Su and Lu Shuning walked into the restaurant.
Mr. Liang was already sitting above, and Ms. Su called Liang Mingyuan: "Go upstairs and ask Jin Lin to come for lunch."
Liang Mingyuan said "Ah". His brother's face looked bad when he went upstairs. If he went up to call someone now, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Liang Mingyuan resisted.
Liang Jingwan threw the last cashew nut into her mouth, clapped her palms cleanly, stood up, and walked towards the stairs with her slippers on: "I'll call you."
Liang Mingyuan burst into tears of gratitude, then sat down to play games.
Liang Jingwan walked up to the second floor and knocked on the door. After a "come in" came from inside, she turned the door handle, stood at the door and said inside: "Brother, lunch is cooked, come downstairs."
"I made an appointment with a friend to have lunch at home." Su Jinlin reached out and picked up the coat on the back of the chair, then put it on and answered Liang Jingwan.
"Who is it? Can you take me with you?" Liang Jingwan put her hands behind her back, stretched her neck to look at Su Jinlin, and asked.
She also didn't want to eat at the same table as Lu Shuning.
Su Jinlin did not hesitate and nodded: "Let's go."
Liang Jingwan followed Su Jinlin downstairs.
In the restaurant, Ms. Su saw Liang Jingwan and Su Jinlin walking toward the door together. She walked out a few steps, holding the glass door with her hands, and asked, "We've already had lunch, what are we going out for?"
"I made an appointment with a friend." Su Jinlin replied simply.
"Then what are you going to do?" Ms. Su then asked Liang Jingwan.
Liang Jingwan replied with a smile: "I'm going to meet my brother's friend."
Liang Mingyuan, who was sitting in the living room playing games, raised his head in panic. Was he the only one left?
Liang Mingyuan quit the game and stood up quickly: "Brother, sister, I will come with you..." Get up.
The word "qi" rolled around on the tip of his tongue, and finally he swallowed it down his throat without daring to make a sound. The reason was that Liang Mingyuan saw Ms. Su's slightly warning eyes. Liang Mingyuan could only walk into the restaurant obediently, staring at Lu Shuning with big eyes.
On the other side, Liang Jingwan and Su Jinlin had already driven out of Yulong Bay.
The breeze blew her long hair, fluttering, and a few strands of hair covered her face, blocking her sight. Liang Jingwan raised her hand to smooth it down and asked Su Jinlin: "Brother, what do you think of Lu Shuning?"
"A scheming person, good at maneuvering." Su Jinlin summed it up in eight words and put his hands on the steering wheel.
Hearing Su Jinlin's answer, Liang Jingwan knew what was going on and didn't ask Lu Shuning any more questions.
"So did you really date a friend or was it fake?"
There was a red light ahead. Su Jinlin stepped on the brake lightly and then put into gear: "Really, I have made an appointment with someone to have lunch, and you should know one of them."
Liang Jingwan bit the straw in her mouth, water was sucked up along the pipe, and she said vaguely: "Who is it?"
"Gu Zhengchen."
"Cough cough cough." With half the saliva in her mouth, Liang Jingwan choked when she heard Su Jinlin's words, and the water sprayed all over her clothes and the cushion beneath her.
The red turned to green, Su Jinlin stepped on the accelerator, turned her head and saw this scene, frowning slightly: "Why are you so excited when you hear Gu Zhengchen's name? Wipe it with paper."
"No, I just choked accidentally. It has nothing to do with Gu Zhengchen." Liang Jingwan retorted weakly and explained, reaching out and pulling out a few paper towels to wipe the water stains at the corners of her mouth, clothes and seats.
Fortunately, she didn't take too much in one gulp. Most of the water in her mouth was swallowed by her, and only a few drops of water sprayed out.
Hearing Liang Jingwan's words, Su Jinlin seemed to laugh and said, "Oh, you are so powerful even if you choke on the water."
In order to avoid being discovered by Su Jinlin, Liang Jingwan had to pretend to be deaf and mute and did not dare to speak anymore. But just because she did not speak, she attracted Su Jinlin's attention.
"Aren't you curious why I met him?"
Liang Jingwan bit the plastic straw and touched her nose guiltily. She already knew the answer from Gu Zhengchen, so of course she was no longer curious.
But now, Liang Jingwan cooperated and asked: "Why?"
Su Jinlin gave a simple explanation in a few words, which was very similar to what Gu Zhengchen said. It was just that Gu Zhengchen enlisted in the army, Su Jinlin attended the military academy, and the two of them participated in training together at the same base.
It wasn't until she got off the bus that Liang Jingwan breathed a sigh of relief. Her cousin was really scary.
The jeep pulled into the parking space.
Liang Jingwan raised her eyes and looked at the bungalow in the distance and the surrounding furnishings. There was a grape trellis in the yard, which looked like a farmhouse. As she got closer, she saw the sign above - Return to Laixi Farmhouse, which also confirmed that Liang Jingwan idea.
Following Su Jinlin into one of the rooms, there was already someone there, not only Gu Zhengchen, but also a man who looked about the same age as Gu Zhengchen and Su Jinlin.
Su Jinlin introduced her that the person other than Gu Zhengchen was Gu Zhengchen's squad leader when he was in the army.
Liang Jingwan greeted each other one by one, and when she turned her attention to Gu Zhengchen, she was cautious, fearing that Su Jinlin would notice any flaws.
From the conversation between the three of them, we learned that after he was discharged from the army, the squad leader opened this farmhouse in Lincheng. During this period, he went out to urge the chef, leaving Liang Jingwan, Su Jinlin and Gu Zhengchen in the same room.
Liang Jingwan lowered her head to drink the juice in the glass, and heard the conversation between Su Jinlin and Gu Zhengchen in her ears.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Liang Jingwan would be too boring, Su Jinlin brought the topic to her.
"Actually, you two have met at BJ before."
