Chapter 169 Mr. Ji, I love you very much
When Ji Lan came down from upstairs, everyone was chatting happily.
When Lin He first saw her, surprise flashed across his eyebrows,
There are countless rumors about Ji Lan from the outside world, some good and some bad. When people mention her stunning appearance, most people sigh, and a few people feel pity.
Once upon a time, he heard his father say: "It's not always a good thing if you look too good."
"It is important to have beauty and family background. If not, it will only be a stumbling block on her way forward."
"An adopted daughter who has great achievements will definitely be annoying to others."
At that time, he was thinking, how beautiful is it to make a group of people feel sorry for it?
Until today, I saw the true face of Lushan Mountain for the first time. The delicate face was covered with cold frost, giving people a hazy feeling like smoke caged in cold water and moon caged in sand.
Just like the frost in early autumn, it is not freezing, but it gives people the illusion and trance that it is already winter.
Ji Lan approached, Jiang Shaoding put his arm around his neck and said, "Mr. Lin, are you so beautiful?"
"Our Mr. Song's looks are astonishing to everyone. Wake up and stop your saliva," Jiang Shaoding's teasing was heard by him.
He calmed down when he looked away.
Ji Lan was wearing a white gauze dress that day. Because she was going to soak in the hot spring, she wore a silk outer cover of the same color. It was not see-through, but it could outline her graceful figure.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ji Lan sat down.
While a group of people were playing, Ji Lan's cell phone rang, and he looked at the caller ID and cut it off.
"What projects is Mr. Jiang investing in recently?" Ji Lan casually chatted with someone.
Jiang Shaoding sipped the wine and said: "I'm like a rag collector, finding good stuff wherever I can find it. If Mr. Song has a good project recently, don't forget about me."
Today's Ji Lan is no longer the person who came to him and begged.
They turned around with just one drama, acquired a large amount of copyrights, and directly expanded the film and television company into a brokerage company.
There are many artists and countless copyrights in hand.
One money tree after another was planted.
Not to mention the scenery.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will definitely think of you first when something good happens."
While chatting without getting into the main topic, Ji Lan's phone rang again.
Ji Mingzong knew that she was in Anshan Hot Spring tonight, but he called her twice in a row, which made Ji Lan have to think too much.
She picked up the phone and took a few steps away.
Behind him, Jiang Shaoding got into a fight with a girl and pushed her into the hot spring pool, making a lot of noise and laughing heartily.
"Not a hot spring?" The man heard the voice and said in a strong tone from the other side.
Ji Lan responded truthfully: "I am."
"Is there a man?"
"I came here temporarily, I didn't go into the water," Ji Lan explained.
"Jilan," the man called her in a deep voice, suppressing his emotions: "I will let you go free only if you are good enough."
"I can accept you staying out all night with Xu Ying, but I may not be able to accept you staying out all night with other men."
"Are you coming back by yourself or should I pick you up in person?"
Ji Lan Wenwen sighed, walked away, and coaxed him softly: "Dr. Ji, I don't have to let your golden thigh go. Don't mess with a second-generation ancestor like Jiang Shaoding. I still divide who is the father and who is the grandson." Clearly, you should believe in your own charm and my vision.”
Ji Mingzong's aura became smoother, but still filled with fire.
Ji Lan kept up his efforts: "Mr. Ji, I love you very much."
The words "I love you very much" made Ji Mingzong's heart twitch, and veins popped out on the back of his hand holding the phone.
On the top terrace of the Beijing-Hong Kong Club, Ji Mingzong looked shabby. It was an early winter day. He was wearing a thin shirt, so it must have been cold.
But because Ji Lan's words "I love you very much" made him feel that the winter wind was always warm when it blew against his face.
With the warmth, it cut away all the cold wind that rushed towards him.
"Mr. Ji?"
There was no sound from that side for a long time, and Ji Lan shouted softly. "I'm here!" The man said in a deep voice.
"Should I hang up first?" It's not wise to cut off the warmth at this time. She should strike while the iron is hot, but she is afraid that she can't help but ask the question "Do you love me?"
It is taboo to talk about love with someone in power.
It was okay to get a satisfactory answer, but it was too embarrassing for her not to get a satisfactory answer.
"Lan Lan," Ji Mingzong called her softly with a forbearing tone.
Ji Lan expressed his gratitude slightly.
Ji Mingzong faced the cold wind and opened his lips slightly. The words that reached his lips as his Adam's apple rolled seemed to be difficult to say. After thinking for a long time, all the struggles turned into one word.
He said: "Okay."
When he was about to declare his love, he was restrained by his reason.
He who is in his thirties cannot sink in as desperately as a girl in her early twenties.
He is too sensible.
Until he hung up the phone, Ji Mingzong was still regretting it.
He lived nearly ten years longer than Ji Lan, and he was not as brave as her,
Until many years later, Ji Lan stood in front of him and talked about that winter, and told him frankly: "I have loved openly, and I have nothing to regret."
"Since ancient times, there are only heroes who do not ask where they come from, but cautious people who regret every step they take."
Director Ji, who is aggressive and decisive in the mall, is a coward in love.
This night.
Until twelve o'clock, everyone started to leave after having fun.
Ji Mingzong, on the other hand, was sitting on the rooftop terrace of the Beijing-Hong Kong Club, smoking one cigarette after another.
Pushing and pushing, regret ran through his mind over and over again.
After the company was established, Xu Ying bought a flat across the river, not far from Jinmao Mansion and only a few dozen minutes' drive away.
It was nearly one o'clock in the morning when the two arrived home.
Xu Ying went into the master bedroom to wash up, while she was in the guest bathroom.
Standing in front of the mirror, thinking about Ji Mingzong's hesitation, she took out her mobile phone and placed her fingertips on the screen, trying to dial Ji Mingzong's number.
After struggling for a long time, the call has not yet been dialed.
That night, Ji Lan and Xu Ying had a long conversation about their emotional decline.
Xu Ying took a sip of wine and replied: "In your position, who can not fall?"
"Since you were young, you lacked love and had no one to rely on. Ji Mingzong helped you reach the top, paved the way for you and supported you. He gave you things that you couldn't get even with all your efforts in the first half of your life. Such a person who shielded you from wind and rain and gave you... Any woman will fall in love with the man you hand her an umbrella to.”
"He is both a teacher and a friend, and he is your noble person."
Ji Lan asked again: "What if I sink too deep and can't extricate myself?"
Xu Ying smiled faintly: "Sentiment is something that cannot be escaped at the age of twenty and cannot be escaped at the age of thirty. If you escape at the age of thirty, you will inevitably encounter death at the age of forty. It is better to do it sooner rather than later."
< br>
Her twenty.
Ji Mingzong was thirty years old.
They are all living examples.
Winter has entered in Beijing and Hong Kong, the cold wind is raging, and there is not much good weather. Ji Lan does not like winter.
Not having enough to eat or wearing warm clothing can be fatal in winter.
On November 9th, Beijing and Hong Kong were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and various promotional activities were carried out under the banner of Singles' Day.
Since that day in the hot spring, Ji Lan has never seen Ji Mingzong again.
He either stayed out for entertainment or stayed at the top of the company.
Zhang Ying and Yan Hui were suspicious of his behavior, as if he had not met Ji Lan before.
