Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

"where?"

Jian Yan took down all the jewelry boxes in the cabinet, opened them and placed them on the dressing table, searching inside and out but couldn't find it.

Somewhat irritable.

The more anxious you are, the more likely things are to go wrong.

She suddenly saw a large jewelry box, and when she opened it, everything went dark before her eyes.

How come the original owner had so many new jewelry that she had never worn before!

Even more luxurious than when she was at her most glorious!

Most importantly, does it really fit in one jewelry box with so many rings and jewelry necklaces?

She grabbed a handful of jewellery and threw it aside, picking out the rings one by one.

After finally finishing the selection, she gritted her teeth and tried to recall which ring Tong Huaimu's looked most similar to, but found that she couldn't remember.

There were so many rings that I was dazzled and for a moment I forgot what the ring on Tong Ruixiao's hand looked like.

With his hands on the dressing table and his head lowered, he took a deep breath and felt dizzy and about to faint.

"it is this."

A familiar voice rang in her ears, her heart skipped a beat, and she turned around abruptly in shock. Her pupils dilated when she saw the man's gentle face and the ring in his hand.

Her sleeves brushed across the dressing table in a panic, and her necklace and ring fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

For a moment, I didn't know which one was more embarrassed.

When did he appear behind her?

She didn't even notice it!

Jane Yan was horrified.

Tong Ruixiao seemed not to notice her pale face and panicked expression. He lowered his eyes, gently lifted her hand, and put the diamond ring on her ring finger.

It fits perfectly.

"Let's go, Mrs. Tong."

The tone was very gentle, but it made Jian Yan suddenly feel creepy.

He swallowed and glanced around in panic, "...Okay."

Until I got in the car.

The two of them sat on each side, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was terribly awkward.

Although it was an arranged marriage, they had a proper wedding, especially the wedding ring was the highlight of the wedding day. Even forgetting the wedding ring was really unacceptable, even if it was a marriage of convenience.

Not only does it mean that you don't take the other person seriously, it also means naked disgust.

Jian Yan turned his gaze towards the car window and looked at the road conditions outside through the glass. He would be lying if he said it wasn't thrilling.

What's more, Tong Ruixiao acted extremely calm.

His calmness gave her a feeling of impending storm, which made her uneasy.

The car drove out of the border of Jiangcheng and soon arrived in Jincheng.

No one spoke along the way, and the driver didn't dare to speak either. He only asked if we needed to take a side road when we were stuck in a traffic jam, and immediately fell silent when he got a negative answer.

"I'll have someone make a pair of diamond rings tomorrow."

Jian Yan was stunned and turned to look at him, "What?"

The man looked out the window. "I'll have a jewelry designer contact you to design the style you like."

"Maybe you don't like the layout of this one, so just throw it away. Wait until you find a pair that you like, and don't throw it away again."

The tone was flat and no emotion could be heard.

Jian Yan wanted to refuse, but felt that nothing she said would be right now, so she shut her mouth.

I could only bite the bullet and nodded, "Okay."

But I thought to myself, he is really patient.

Her behavior of throwing the wedding ring around carelessly only shows that she is extremely disgusted with this marriage, which can also be extended to her disgust for the other party of the marriage, that is, himself.

In this situation, he could actually give her a way out.

Translating her obvious dislike into her dislike of the ring style provided some leeway.

I guess it was to ease the atmosphere before meeting the two elders?

What a decent person.

The woman twitched the corner of her mouth imperceptibly.

But there is really no need to make another pair. Just let her not wear them in the future. It saves time and effort.

The act of wearing a wedding ring is meaningless, and the style is meaningless. As long as she doesn't like the person who gave her the ring, she won't wear it no matter what the style is.

She didn't like carrying such symbolic objects on her body, especially if they represented a relationship with another person.

Very uncomfortable.

At six o'clock, the car drove into a narrow path and stopped in front of a retro Chinese-style house with tilted roof tiles.

As soon as she got off the car, Jian Yan was hit by the cold wind and realized that winter had arrived. Fortunately, she had wrapped a grey scarf around her neck before leaving, so she didn't feel too cold.

"Jincheng is different from the coastal cities in that its winter and summer are particularly long. It is cold from November to April of the following year, and hot from June to September. The weather is only suitable for two or three months."

Tong Ruixiao held her hand and watched her tighten her scarf. Knowing that she had not yet adapted to the weather in Jincheng, he walked in and explained to her.

Jian Yan nodded, "Compared to here, Jiangcheng feels more livable."

The bungalow in front of me looks a bit old, but it has an ancient charm. The red walls and green tiles have the feeling of the capital, and the four corners are tilted.

She originally thought that the Tong family became rich because of Tong Ruixiao and his uncle, but now she feels that she was wrong.

In this place where every inch of land is valuable, there is such an old house with a large area and such a style. The ancestors of the Tong family must have been a relatively wealthy family.

She opened the door, stepped over the eaves, and saw a gravel path. She thought, is the gravel path in Tong Ruixiao's villa designed in this way?

As you go further in, the view suddenly opens up.

What came into view was a large courtyard, a stone table, two rattan chairs, and an evergreen pine tree that reached up to the sky.

Jian Yan was surprised.

There are actually people who plant pine trees in their yard?

She had only seen crabapple trees, apricot trees, pomegranate trees, peach trees, locust trees, elm trees and the like planted in courtyards. This was the first time she saw pine trees planted.

Push open the door and go inside.

It suddenly became warm, as if it was spring with a temperature of 20 degrees.

She took off her scarf and draped it over her arm.

The old housekeeper opened the sunken wood shoe cabinet and took out two pairs of newly bought slippers.

After Jian Yan changed her shoes and walked into the living room, she took a look at the Persian carpet in front of the living room door and was surprised again.

stunned.

What's the use of this kind of carpet for changing shoes?

He explained gently: "The two elders are very particular about cleanliness. It's normal that you find it incredible."

She just wanted to ask if there was no maid to clean the house.

It was not until she entered the living room that Jian Yan realized the extent of what he meant by "particularity".

At first glance, it is extremely neat and clean.

The wall hangings are brand new, the windows are bright and clean, and there is no dust on the place. The setting sun shines in through the carved wooden windows, and the room is bright because the lights are on.

Even the blue and white porcelain vase and two pots of green ivy in the corner were free of dust.

This was so clean, she thought, that it was a bit like mysophobia.

A vintage dark red carved velvet carpet is spread out, occupying most of the living room, giving people a feeling of being low-key and conservative, yet luxurious.

The brown wood sofa was against the wall, with the cushions embroidered with dark blue and red patterns. In front of the sofa was a wooden coffee table made of the same material, on which was placed a tea tray, a purple clay teapot and several teacups.

It can be seen that family members love drinking tea.

Tong Ruixiao also likes to drink tea, so it doesn't seem special.
