Engage

The sound of dragging tables and chairs, the sound of stacking books, scattered footsteps... not long after, the people in the classroom have almost left, leaving only Jiang Ran and Jiang Ying still in place "Confrontation".

It's a confrontation, but Jiang Ying is the only one who is really nervous, and Jiang Ran is sitting on a chair, her beautiful eyes are bent into crescent moons, it looks like she is smiling, but there is a lot of indifference in her eyes. The look in his eyes is completely incapable of being connected with the timid and cowardly image in the past.

Can a person really change so much?Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment, but she didn't have any doubts in her heart. She was just thinking that Jiang Ran must have a very happy life after marriage. With the crown prince of the empire as his support, Jiang Ran is completely different from before.

She looks so dazzling, it's like... like a dusty rose finally met a careful gardener, and wiped her so that she finally started to show the skin she should have been Delicate and charming.

Jiang Ying's eyes became complicated, and she couldn't tell if it was jealousy or envy. She knew Jiang Ran was good-looking, but no matter how good-looking she was, her character was so cowardly, she was always isolated by others, and she was often criticized by others. Lie, such a person will only embarrass them who are also members of the Jiang family.

Jiang Ying used to look down on this cousin from a remote planet, and even isolated her because she was so beautiful.But she never expected that it was Jiang Ran, the trash that none of them looked up to, who ended up marrying Your Excellency Qi Lian. It can be said that their status has been reversed since the day Jiang Ran got married. Now, Jiang Ying is the one who needs to look up to others, and Jiang Ran is the one she wants to look up to.

This is the hegemony of power.But before, before she came to find Jiang Ran, Jiang Ying only felt that what she had to overcome was Jiang Ran's new status as a princess, but she never thought that it was Jiang Ran herself who put more pressure on her.

It's just that the state of mind has changed, how could one person have such a big change... The current Jiang Ran is simply too difficult to deal with!Jiang Ying thought with a headache that if Jiang Ran had been like this when she came from Edge Star, maybe she would have handled her relationship with Jiang Ran well.

It won't be as embarrassing as it is now.

Yes, embarrassing.The embarrassment made Jiang Ying seem to be choked by someone, and all the typed belly drafts were soaked in water, and it seemed difficult to say anything all of a sudden.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? If you're okay, I'm leaving?"

Jiang Ying wanted to be a wooden figure, but Jiang Ran didn't want to play with her. Seeing that she stopped her and didn't speak, Jiang Ran packed her bag and pretended to leave.

Her movements were so neat that Jiang Ying became anxious all of a sudden, and blurted out the words that had already lingered in her throat: "Then what, I'm here to invite you to Sister Huan's birthday party." The suddenly sharpened eyes made my scalp tingle, but I still held on to the pressure and continued: "In short, although you are married, you are still in our family, right? You should also go for Sister Huan's birthday .”

Jiang Huan's birthday?

Jiang Ran put one hand on the table, tapped lightly, and looked at Jiang Ying with a smile that was not a smile: "Jiang Ying, how many birthdays do people have in a year?"

"Of course it's one." Jiang Ying was extremely nervous, and she answered whatever Jiang Ran asked.

Jiang Ran sneered: "Then, how many years have I been in Capital Star?"

Jiang Ying swallowed: "Two years."

The sarcasm in Jiang Ran's eyes deepened: "It's been two years, why did you suddenly think of inviting me to Jiang Huan's birthday party today? Oh, don't block me with saying that we are all a family, if you really care about everyone in the Jiang family So why didn’t anyone invite me to Jiang Huan’s birthday last time? If I remember correctly, it seems that I haven’t even heard the letter, huh?” She was accusing, but she wasn’t hysterical. The "hmm" sound was long and soft, like the whisper of a siren, extremely alluring, but also filled with the coldness of deep sea water, making people want to get close but afraid to get close.

She was making an accusation, but her expression was calm as if she was telling someone else's experience—this was indeed the truth.

This is actually a legacy of the original owner.The original owner has a tortoise temper, and has been isolated since she came to Capital Star, while she shrank in her shell and muddled along, only looking forward to returning to Edge Star with her father after graduating from university.Originally, not to mention the sisters' birthday party, even the New Year's Day, she was away from Jiang's family. At most, she would go back to the old house on the first day of each new year to pay New Year's greetings to the elders and collect red envelopes. As for The gatherings among the younger generations of the Jiang family have nothing to do with her.

It's not that she doesn't want to go, it's that no one has invited her, never has.

After hearing Jiang Ran's words, Jiang Ying turned pale, and was about to say something, but Jiang Ran suddenly straightened up, put her hands on the table, and looked down at Jiang Ying slightly: "Oh, it's not just her, you, Jiang Shuo , Jiang Yan... In the Jiang family, I have so many brothers and sisters, each of you celebrates a birthday every year, and there are so many birthday parties every year, but in the past, no one seemed to have invited me. "Her narrow eyes were extremely sharp, and every word pierced Jiang Ying's heart like a knife, and Jiang Ying couldn't escape.

Because it's all true.

They, each of these people in the Jiang family, either intentionally or unintentionally, gave the original owner unimaginable cold violence by completely ignoring the original owner.

"Why, speechless?"

Amidst Jiang Ran's ridicule, Jiang Ying defended with a white face: "But we never bullied you, nor did we treat you badly. We, we were just not close to you before, and you should always remember that." is it on?"

After hearing Jiang Ying's justification, the sarcasm in Jiang Ran's eyes became stronger, and she suddenly stepped forward, seeing the sudden panic on Jiang Ying's face, and said word by word: "No, you bullied me."

"Ignore, let go, look on. You have bullied me in ways that are not obvious."

Thinking of the cold treatment that the original owner received before, as well as the contempt and teasing that followed, possibly because of the emotional influence left by the original owner, Jiang Ran's eyes suddenly became sad, touching her eyes , Jiang Ying, who was already guilty, swallowed unconsciously.

"It doesn't mean that only direct harm is called harm, Jiang Ying. Many times, we met on campus, and I greeted you with a smile. How did you do it at that time, do you remember?"

Jiang Ying's face turned completely pale, what did she do?Of course she remembered, she always sarcastically turned her head and walked over without reason.

The little sister couldn't help hitting.Jiang Ran carefully observed her expression, and added the last fire: "I treated you with tenderness, but you didn't reciprocate my kindness. What are you crying now? Regret? Guilt? No, it's not necessary, actually. , I don't think you are sorry for me, after all, there is no real friendship between us." She patted Jiang Ying on the shoulder, and when the little girl was crying sadly, she said coldly: "You are also good, It’s okay for Jiang Huan, what we were like in the past will be what we will do in the future. So, don’t come here to look for me like today!”

After saying this, she ignored the dumbfounded Jiang Ying, picked up her bag and left.Her steps were not big, and she didn't walk fast. When she stepped on the sun and walked out, her back looked very indifferent.

This kind of indifference is precisely what the former owner got from these people.

When Jiang Ran's footsteps disappeared completely, Jiang Ying sat on the desk with a pale face.After a while, until the people from the next class came one after another, she grabbed her schoolbag as if awakened from a dream in the weird eyes of those people, and ran out.

While running, the girl with flamboyant hair hit her head in frustration.

Jiang Ying, you're out of your mind, you are so stupid to agree to sister Huan to come over and invite Jiang Ran, you clearly know that Jiang Ran doesn't like you at all.

She scolded herself like this, and suddenly stopped in the corridor, looking down through the blue iron railing.

Below that, a tall, slender, black-haired girl was walking slowly under the shade of the tree, carrying a heavy bag.Seen from above, there was no expression on her face. When she was not smiling, that rare and beautiful face looked very cold, like a rose with thorns, beautiful and untouchable.

Jiang Ran...

Jiang Ying stood on the railing, sniffing, feeling an emotion fermenting in her heart.

That emotion is probably regret.

After dealing with the cheeky little sister, Jiang Ran's mood improved a lot, but soon, this good mood was like the sunshine before the storm, which was suddenly covered by dark clouds.

The name of this dark cloud is called the exam.

Ah, the exam is coming.While walking on the road, Jiang Ran's optical brain received the notification.Half of this semester is over, all subjects are about to start phased tests, and the most sad thing is that in Jiang Ran's department, there are almost no courses that use papers as tests.

As for language...professors always like written exams, or, direct oral exams are also possible.

Jiang Ran looked at the exam form that was immediately filled up, feeling a wave of despair welling up in his heart.She didn't recover until she got on the bus leaving school.

She's just a cook...

So that night, Qi Lian found out that Jiang Ran's mood was not right.

This is specifically manifested in the fact that Jiang Ran's words are much less.

It's not that Jiang Ran is a chatterbox, but like this, from the moment he entered the door, he didn't say a word, washed his hands in silence, cooked in silence, and even didn't respond to Qi Lian's compliments on her cooking skills. ....Combined with all the signs, even if Qi Lian couldn't see it, he could clearly feel the low pressure emanating from Jiang Ran's body.

This situation did not improve until Jiang Ran cleaned up the kitchen.Qi Lian wanted to ask, but she was also worried that she would touch Jiang Ran's sad matter - Jiang Ran looked very sad with his appearance.

Generally speaking, when a person is sad, he probably doesn't like others to get to the bottom of it, right?Thinking of his past, Qi Lian compared his heart to his heart, "tactfully" didn't ask anything, and went to the study wisely when the air pressure around him was getting lower and lower.

But in the study, she couldn't calm down, she wanted to ask Jiang Ran what happened several times, but before she could act, Jiang Ran suddenly appeared at the door of the room and knocked on the door frame .

"Jiang Ran?" Qi Lian raised his head, his face was calm, as if he didn't notice anything, but his ears were already pricked up.
