Insincere

Jiang Ming looked around, and immediately locked his eyes on Liang Rui who was standing in the innermost place, and strode over without hesitation.

In just a few steps, the originally expressionless and stern face quickly revealed a surprised smile. He put one hand on Liang Rui's shoulder. The distance between the two of them was so close that Liang Rui could feel the pain brought by his approach. Then he heard Jiang Ming say in an aggrieved and complaining tone: "It's rare to meet me here, I just wanted to invite you to dinner, why didn't you answer my call?"

This intimate tone and behavior, as if Liang Rui was really a friend he hadn't seen for many years...

Liang Rui felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat, and he felt the oppressive force from the palm holding his shoulder...

Didn't Jiang Ming come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?Which game is this playing again?

For a moment, Liang Rui couldn't answer Jiang Ming's question. Looking at Jiang Ming like this, he seemed to vaguely see the shadow of the boy who relied on him and loved him many years ago from this powerful and indifferent man. It's a pity that his mind is too clear , know it's all fake.

I don't know where this came from, obviously Liang Rui wasn't the only one, and Han Ping also had a bewildered expression on his face.

Liang Rui smiled wryly, realizing that Jiang Ming couldn't continue to make trouble here, and was about to persuade him to go out... Du Rong, who had been as still as a mountain before, suddenly stood up!

Du Rong's face, which seemed to be forever stiff in facial muscles, suddenly burst into a vivid and bright smile. He looked at Jiang Ming with extremely enthusiastic eyes, and said happily: "Mr. Go out and welcome!"

As soon as this remark came out, Han Ping was not the only one who was confused, and everyone looked at the scene before them in shock.

Du Rong is so respectful to this young man?Yes, this feeling is respectful!

Where the hell is he? !

Jiang Ming seemed to have seen Du Rong just now, he glanced at Du Rong lightly, put away the smile on his face, and showed a calm and dignified demeanor, "So it's Mr. Du, I didn't know you were here, Of course I can't tell you."

Du Rong didn't care about Jiang Ming's indifference at all, and quickly said: "Hey, I said something wrong! Don't blame, don't blame. Since Mr. Jiang is here, he has to sit down and have a drink. Please sit down!" Then give up the seat under him!And carefully opened the chair a little...

The entire box was silent, no one made any sound, and a strange atmosphere enveloped everyone.

Jiang Ming shook his head, without showing any sense of face, "No, I have something to do today." After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Du Rong and turned to Liang Rui with a smile: "Aren't we good friends? Let's have a meal together." Come on, I've ordered everything, I'm here to pick you up."

There was a light of expectation in his long and narrow eyes, but Liang Rui was so close that he could see the real coldness hidden under the appearance.

Oh, it turned out to be waiting for me here.Liang Rui thought.

Different from the shock of others, Liang Rui had already guessed what happened when he saw this, so he calmed down in his heart.Judging from Du Rong's attitude, Jiang Ming is undoubtedly the benefactor behind this foreign investment, and Jiang Ming is not only rich, but also has the strength and power to make Du Rong, a local snake, afraid, so that he can disregard his face Come to please Jiang Ming.

And Jiang Ming could find this place, so how could he not know what's going on here?Under Yan Yan's words and smiles, it was a well-planned plan, waiting for Liang Rui to make a choice.

But Liang Rui hesitated for less than three seconds before making a decision.

He smiled happily and said to Jiang Ming: "Of course we are good friends! It's just that I have something to do tonight, and I didn't hear your call. Why don't I invite you tomorrow?"

Before Jiang Ming could answer this time, Du Rong stood up in a hurry, "Hey, this is a flood that rushed into the Dragon King Temple. I knew this... This gentleman is your friend, Mr. Jiang, how dare I delay him?" Time!" Then he smiled at Liang Rui: "Our business is not in a hurry, we are all on our own, we can talk at any time, Mr. Jiang is a guest from afar, so you can accompany him first."

Liang Rui seemed to be hesitant. He hesitated for a moment and said, "But..."

Du Rong turned his eyes, looked at Han Ping whose presence was so low that he was about to disappear, and laughed heartily: "Your business is on my shoulders, so you can go at ease, and it's not like Mr. Han is still there Here! Isn’t it the same as talking with Mr. Han? What about the waiter! Why don’t you come and add a seat for Mr. Han!”

Han Ping: "..."

Liang Rui looked at Han Ping, then at Du Rong, finally showing a reassuring expression, and said politely: "Then trouble President Du."

Du Rong smiled, "What's the trouble? We're all friends. You can contact me more if you have anything to do in the future."

Liang Rui nodded with a smile, and said to Han Ping, "Then I'll go first, I'm sorry."

"It's all right...you can go..." Han Ping stared at Liang Rui in a daze, he hadn't recovered yet.

As for the others, Liang Rui acted as if he hadn't seen them from the beginning to the end. Finally, he turned his head to look at Jiang Ming, smiled and said, "Then shall we go to eat?"

Jiang Ming looked at him firmly, and raised the corner of his lips: "Okay."

..............................

Liang Rui looked at the food in front of him, it had been cold for a long time.

It seems that Jiang Ming has ordered food and is waiting for him. This is not a lie, Liang Rui thought to himself.

Jiang Ming asked the waiter to serve another vegetable porridge, added another bowl to Liang Rui, and said softly, "Drinking on an empty stomach is not good, let's eat something first."

Liang Rui drank a glass of white wine in one gulp, and his stomach was really not feeling well. Faced with such thoughtfulness, he should have been very happy... But he really couldn't act happy. Liang Rui blinked and covered his eyes. Seeing the sadness in his eyes, he silently began to drink the porridge.

After a while, Liang Rui put down the bowl and said to Jiang Ming, "Do you have anything to say?"

The slightly dim light in the room shone on Jiang Ming's sharp-edged face, forming an indifferent arc.

Jiang Ming clasped his hands in front of him, leaned back on the chair, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a playful light: "Is this your attitude of asking for help?"

Liang Rui paused for a moment before revealing a slight smile: "Then what do you think should be my attitude? I can change it."

Jiang Ming looked at him fixedly, and suddenly applauded, "In terms of the degree of hypocrisy, you are the only one I have ever seen in my life! You obviously hate me to death, but when you use me, you are not ambiguous at all. You are really flexible..." At the end of his speech, the sarcasm in his tone was already very obvious.

Liang Rui didn't refute. He did use Jiang Ming to achieve his purpose today, but he wasn't ashamed.

Jiang Ming's sudden appearance today has actually pushed him over a cliff. If he turned against Jiang Ming willfully, he would only push Han Ping's company into a desperate situation. Maybe he will face Du Rong's suppression afterwards, and Han Ping will be implicated because of him, which he absolutely does not want to see.To reverse all this situation, it is enough to follow Jiang Ming's words, so what's wrong?He is no longer a naive child, what's the use of having a backbone, the reality will teach people to learn to compromise a little bit, which is hardly a problem.

Besides, isn't this exactly what Jiang Ming wants?Let yourself recognize the reality and let yourself compromise with him.

Liang Rui had already passed the age of youth and vigor, and he knew that it would be extremely taxing and thankless to change the opinion of a person who had a deep prejudice against him, so he did not intend to argue with Jiang Ming.He sighed, and said in a sincere tone: "It's really not my wish to get to where I am today. What can I do to calm you down?"

Liang Rui thought that his tone was gentle enough to not give the impression of being insincere, but Jiang Ming suddenly reached out and swept the cup to the ground, and the sound of "crash" made Liang Rui stiffen.

"Calm down?" Jiang Ming stared at Liang Rui coldly with a gloomy expression, obviously very angry.

Facing Jiang Ming like this, Liang Rui suddenly felt breathless. He pursed his lips tightly, not knowing where his words angered Jiang Ming.What's wrong with him being willing to take the initiative to resolve this grievance?The reason why Jiang Ming was entangled was nothing more than the fact that he had lied to him once again by feigning death and leaving. With Jiang Ming's high-spirited heart, of course he felt that it was unacceptable.Liang Rui understood him completely, and thought in another way. The person he hated the most died before he had enough revenge... If he really died, it would be fine. After many years, he found that the person was not dead, but just escaped. Now, I'm still living a good life... How can I be reconciled to this, if I'm a narrow-minded person, it's very possible to piss myself off.

Liang Rui frowned. I'm afraid this matter is not good, but... I have to give it a try, right?He hesitated for a moment, and said, "I really want to ask for forgiveness."

"Forgive? You think what I want is your confession?" Jiang Ming closed his eyes, opened them again, his expression had returned to calm, he twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a sarcasm: "You're right... ...It's a pity that your sincerity is too cheap, besides...do you think I'm a fool who can be easily dismissed with a few words?"

Liang Rui pondered for a moment, his brows relaxed, Jiang Ming's meaning was already very clear.As long as he is willing to ask, it is a good thing... What he fears most is not the difficulty, but the possibility of not even being able to solve it.

He stood up and walked to Jiang Ming step by step, staring at the stern face in front of him, and slowly knelt down in front of him.

"Is this... okay?" Liang Rui raised his head and said calmly.

Jiang Ming stared at the man kneeling in front of him. Even if this man was doing hypocritical and despicable things, even if he was kneeling in front of him without shame, the expression on his face was always so calm and natural. And always straight.

He clearly knows that everything is false... However, this handsome face, these clear eyebrows, and these gentle smiles are like poisonous poppies, making him unable to extricate himself.

The anger in Jiang Ming's chest grew like crazy vines, and it was almost unstoppable. He leaned forward and looked deeply into Liang Rui's eyes, "Why don't you argue, why don't you resist?"

Are you just... want to get rid of me?

Jiang Ming smiled coldly, stroked Liang Rui's face with his palm, and pressed his soft lips with his fingertips, the desire in his heart was like a river bursting a bank.

"Not enough, not at all."
