smoke like fire

Ms. Zhao's plaster cast on her right foot was finally removed after half a month, and her schedule was crowded again.

She was in a dance class when I called her.

That dance studio was opened by Ms. Zhao two years ago. She has always liked to dance and danced well, but she disliked the poor environment and equipment outside and the qualifications of the students, so she took money to open one with her friends.

Although Ms. Zhao is the boss, she doesn't care about things.

For her, the dance classroom is just one of the places to spend time.

On the phone, she asked me if I was okay, if not, take her to the nail salon.

If I have anything to say, I say it's okay, and I will go by car.

I haven't seen you for many days, Miss Zhao's face is radiant.During the half month of her rest, I didn't visit many times, anyway, she will not be short of visits.

"Are you ready to dance this soon?" I asked.

Ms. Zhao got into the car, "Not yet, the doctor told me to do it when I recover better."

I glanced at her and pretended to sigh: "So, your Hanley doesn't have a partner again."

Ms. Zhao looked over, "I just realized that your mouth is really annoying."

I tactfully shut up.

Ms. Zhao didn't seem to want to be merciless, she said: "I heard that you had dinner with Kuan Yi a while ago?"

I laughed, "Don't listen, I'll tell you, it's true."

Ms. Zhao snorted twice

"It's good for you, I was injured and let you earn a friendship meal."

I couldn't help but laugh.

It would be nice if it was true, but I dare not think about it.I just said: "Don't be sour, as if I am happy for you to be hurt. He asked me to eat, and the reason is still you."

Miss Zhao lightly said, "Really? It turns out that he values ​​me as a mother."

I said, "Of course he is."

Miss Zhao didn't answer.

No need to look, I know she must be in a bad mood at the moment.

It is said that the issue of family relationship is the most unsolvable. No one has the right to comment on the matter between Zhao's mother and son, especially me, and I have no position.

The light meal that Zhao Kuanyi invited me to eat was just a social occasion.

We separated from the parking lot that night, and we never met again as before.

I knew a long time ago that Zhao Kuanyi never likes to trouble people, but what he has done will happen, but no matter what, he will never entrust the matter to a person with a bad relationship, it's just because he has to.

I have seen Ms. Zhao's unbearable past. To a certain extent, Ms. Zhao will trust me and be able to face me with ease.Zhao Kuanyi still understood his mother.

And I understand Zhao Kuanyi.

But I can't forget the way he smiled and smoked that day.

I took the gift back to my mother, she was overjoyed, she didn't seem surprised when she knew it was from Zhao Kuanyi.

After asking her, she found out that the two met at a jewelry auction the month before last.

My mother never knew that our relationship was bad, and she always had a good impression of Zhao Kuanyi.She went with her father and was bored, when she saw Zhao Kuanyi, she was as friendly as a neighbor.

A set of jade jewelry was displayed at the auction, and my mother liked it very much, but my father didn't want to take it, so she couldn't help feeling sorry for Zhao Kuanyi.

He really thought about it, and actually wrote it down--the mother said, looking at her eyes, she was a little bit complaining that I was her son but didn't pay attention to her words.

I pretended I hadn't seen him, turned around and thought about it, and called Qiu Yisen.

It was late at night, and Qiu Yisen seemed to be making out with someone, with a lot of hesitation in his tone.He hurriedly said that it was just a gift, which was meaningless, and it was given to your mother but not to you.

I said, you are right, why didn't he send me off?

By the way, Zhao Kuanyi said that there is no suitable gift for me.He said that he would make it up in the future. I regretted saving face, and it's not that I didn't have a thick skin.

This time Qiu Yisen didn't answer me and hung up the phone directly.

After two roads, Ms. Zhao began to chat with me again.

After finally sending her to the location, I drove home.

At the company in the afternoon, Chen Liren temporarily assigned me a task to participate in a fine jewelry and watch exhibition together in the evening.He forced me to take the second half of the hours off and go back to get ready.

I always wear a suit at work, and my hairstyle is also proper, so I can go straight to battle, not to mention that no matter how men dress up, they are only a suit, I can only change clothes from one brand to another, and at most I can wear a Jaeger-LeCoultre wrist surface.

It was still early when I went back. Fortunately, my mother was not there, otherwise I would definitely ask questions when I saw it.Usually, when I go out to socialize, I don’t usually change my clothes so deliberately, and when I have an appointment with friends, I just pack lightly.

I packed it up and went out right away.

The venue is at the plaza on the fourth floor of Taipei 101.

The ribbon-cutting has passed, and the opening reception is just beginning. The men are all in formal attire, and the women are all more solemn. At this moment, they are all carrying champagne in their hands, and they are walking among the display cabinets alone or in groups.

On such occasions, there are also many celebrities.

I saw several familiar people, and finally found Chen Liren, who was being interviewed by a reporter.

Chen Liren signaled me to wait with his eyes.

I will first appreciate the watches displayed by various brands this time.As for jewelry watches, I don't particularly like any brand. When choosing, I mainly look at its design and functionality.

All my Jaeger-LeCoultre ReversoDuoFaces have been around for a long time, and they were a rare birthday gift from my father when I went to the United States to study for an MBA.

"RogerDubuis is worth investing in."

Chen Liren's voice came from behind.

I turned my head, but I saw not only him, but also two female companions.

One I can't see very well, is Chen Liren's supermodel girlfriend Lily.S, and the other is a strange beauty.But it is unfamiliar, but I feel familiar.

Chen Liren raised his hand and said, "Lily doesn't need my introduction, this is Miss Wang Ziying."

I smiled, "Hi, I'm—"

"Cheng Jingcheng." The prince Ying stepped forward, "I know."

I was startled and looked at Chen Liren.

Before Chen Liren could speak, Wang Ziying said again: "My brother is Wang Ziyang. He introduced us when he got married."

I suddenly realized, no wonder it looks familiar.

"Sorry, I didn't remember that." I said.

Prince Ying smiled at me.

I also smiled and looked at Chen Liren again.

Chen Liren coughed in embarrassment, and Lily.S came to his aid: "Ziying and I are good friends. She has several Piaget diamond watches in her collection. This time Piaget is also exhibiting, so I brought her along."

I understood, "It's like this."

"Yes." Chen Liren finally said: "There are a lot of reporters here, and Lily has to be interviewed from time to time. I'm afraid that Ms. Wang won't be able to speak, so why don't you be by my side."

I smiled, and met Wang Ziying's earnest eyes, "Of course."

There was an extra female companion for no reason, and there were many familiar faces in the venue, and they couldn't help but ask a few more questions after greeting.I tell you honestly that she is Wang Ziyang's younger sister.

Wang Ziyang is famous for being unrestrained, but his younger sister is so quiet and beautiful, everyone is amazed, and with the background of the Wang family, he attracts a lot of strike-ups.

I will introduce them to Wang Ziying one by one.She was polite and courteous to those people, without showing any hesitation.

After circling around for a while to dismiss some people, I accompanied Wang Ziying to look at the watch displayed again.

I thought about it and asked her, "Didn't Wang Ziyang receive the invitation?"

Even if Wang Ziyang didn't receive it, his wife is a famous lady, so the PR company shouldn't miss the list.

The prince greeted him: "My brother is on a business trip to the United States, and my sister-in-law is also going with me." Then he said: "My brother often talks about you."

I laughed, "What are you talking about? It must not be a good thing."

The prince smiled, as if he wanted to elaborate.

I don't know if it's because of the projection lights, but her blush cheeks look red from drunkenness.I was sober in my heart, pretending to turn my eyes away casually, but met another pair of eyes.

Those eyes, which seemed to be deep black with a little indifferent gray, were Zhao Kuanyi.

Zhao Kuanyi didn't look away, and I didn't dodge either.

Wang Ziying's voice paused in his ears, as if he felt strange, "——what's wrong?"

"I saw a friend."

I said, abandon her and walk towards Zhao Kuanyi.

"What a coincidence."

I greet you generously.

Zhao Kuanyi held champagne in his hand, and seemed to look past me.

"your friend?"

I was startled, turned around, and saw that Wang Ziying was still in place.She was looking, but I couldn't tell what was in her eyes.I turned around and answered Zhao Kuanyi: "She is Wang Ziyang's younger sister."

Zhao Kuanyi slightly raised his eyebrows, "Oh, but I don't remember seeing Wang Ziyang."

I explained: "She didn't come with Wang Ziyang, but with Chen Liren's girlfriend. They are good friends, so they came to see the exhibition together."

Zhao Kuanyi remained silent and took a sip of champagne.

I laughed, "I'm here today, mainly as a companion."

Zhao Kuanyi said calmly: "It can be seen."

I was startled.

Zhao Kuanyi didn't say much, just looked at the watch displayed in front of him, which was a bracelet watch from Earl's LimelightJazzParty series.

This watch is designed in one piece, studded with small round diamonds.I went to read the introduction card and figured out that I shared a diamond with more than 51 carats, but the price was not marked.

"Kuan Yi, you can go."

Suddenly someone shouted.I followed the sound and saw that it was an elegantly dressed woman.

I have seen her.

It was the beauty who once went to the movies with Zhao Kuanyi.

At this moment, Zhao Kuanyi's gaze was also on her, and he asked, "Are you ready?"

"Well, almost." The woman smiled slightly, as if she had just noticed me, "Who is this?"

"He is Cheng Jingcheng." Zhao Kuanyi introduced plainly.

My face was normal, but my heart was actually surprised.

Before the estrangement, I met Zhao Kuanyi's previous female companions, but he never introduced me to them seriously.I didn't know how to feel for a while.

The other party shook my hand generously, "Mr. Cheng, I'm Lin Luowei."

"Hello." I said.

A woman named Lin Luowei asked me: "Are you friends with Kuan Yi?"

"Yes." I smiled and went to see Zhao Kuanyi.

Lin Luowei went to see Zhao Kuanyi, and she looked at Zhao Kuanyi with tenderness. She said, "Kuanyi, Fred has reserved a seat on the 36th floor. Why don't you ask Mr. Cheng to go with you?"

Zhao Kuanyi looked at me.

I have never been interested.

But he didn't reveal the words of going down the steps, but he said first: "That's fine, if you want."
