Chapter 172
She placed the noodles in front of him and looked down at the bracelet.
"Why is this bracelet here?"
Luo Hanshang curled his lips and said, "You have always been smart, how could you not know?"
"There are things intelligent people can't understand. I really don't know what you mean by leaving it here."
"This is yours."
Ning Jiang frowned. "This is grandma's thing. This thing is for her real grandson's wife, and I'm not."
Luo Hanshang said coldly, "Grandma says yes, you are."
"If the law says I'm not, then I'm not."
"And if the law says you are?"
Ning Jiang was depressed, "Luo Hanshang, we are not people who argue, how can you not talk back? As an outsider, I am wearing the bracelet that grandmother was going to give to Luo Family's grandson's wife, do you think it's appropriate? "
"If you feel that it's not appropriate, then go and return it to Grandma yourself." Luo Hanshang picked up the chopsticks, calmly picked up the noodles, and coldly said, "I'm not your postman."
Ning Jiang looked at him. If she could give it to her grandmother herself, would she need it?
Without touching the bracelet, she turned and walked into the living room. She sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV.
Luo Hanshang was eating the noodles that she cooked with her own hands and it still tasted the same as before.
He had never thought he liked noodles.
But after he was with her, he did change a lot.
According to others, once a person falls in love, they are easily assimilated by the person they love.
He had thought that such a thing would never happen.
But after his own experience, he knew that anything was possible.
Right now, he only felt that this matter was extremely sorrowful for the person he had fallen in love with first.
When one person leaves the other person and feels that life is better than death, and that life is boring, the other person would still be able to lead a carefree life.
That feeling...
He hoped that Ning Jiang would understand as well.
He finished eating, put down his bowl and chopsticks, got up, and went to sit beside her.
Ning Jiang turned to look at him.
Since he had already finished his meal, wouldn't he leave?
Luo Hanshang also looked at her...
At this moment, their gazes met, and for a moment, Ning Jiang's heartbeat quickened.
She quickly looked away and looked at the TV.
Luo Hanshang also calmly turned his head, looked at the news on the TV and said: "Come with me to return to Luo Garden tomorrow."
He had said the same thing five years ago, when she was desperate to marry him.
But at that time, he said, 'Don't tell me that when we get married, we don't need the consent of our seniors'?
What about now?
Why did she go with him to see his family?
"I don't have time tomorrow."
Luo Hanshang smiled disdainfully. This was actually what he had expected.
"What are you busy with?"
"I... There's a lot to buy. "
"I'll buy it for you."
Ning Jiang frowned. "No need, I can prepare my own things."
Luo Hanshang frowned and turned to look at her: "Ning Jiang, did your conscience get eaten by a dog?"
Ning Jiang also looked at him.
"It's been five years. You finally came back from the outside and you didn't forget to visit Fu Boyuan, but you didn't go visit my grandparents? What, did my grandparents treat you badly when you were living in Luo Garden? Or could it be that, back then, you treated them as your family, and that was all just an act? "
"Do you have to make it sound so bad?" Ning Jiang felt slightly uncomfortable.
"You don't feel good. Isn't it because my words struck your heart? "
Ning Jiang clenched her fist. "I wish my conscience could really be eaten by dogs. If that's the case, so what if I follow you to see my grandparents?"
Luo Hanshang was silent for a moment. He understood that it was because she couldn't face him. However ?? Could she hide for the rest of her life?
She had no idea how badly he wanted to take her back and tell his grandparents that he had found his heart.
He told his grandparents not to worry about him anymore.
But why she didn't understand at all.
Thinking of this, Luo Hanshang felt depressed. He stood up and left without turning back.
Ning Jiang sat on the sofa with a desolate feeling in her heart.
She turned her head to look at the bracelet on the dining table. "Dad, what should I do?"
The first night she went back to the North City, she didn't sleep very well.
It was mostly because of Luo Hanshang's departure that made her feel uncomfortable.
She didn't know why she cared so much about his anger.
She reminded herself not to think too much and to sleep well.
However ?? She still couldn't sleep.
It was already past 10 when she woke up the next day. After lunch, there was still no movement from Luo Hanshang's side.
She thought, this is good too. He won't bother her, but she will be happy and quiet instead.
She went back to bed and half lay down on the bed before dialing Ye Mingmei's number.
On the other end of the line, Ye Mingmei's voice rang, "Hello."
"Mingmei ??"
Ye Mingmei hesitated for three minutes before she shouted excitedly, "Jiang Er?"
"It's me." Ning Jiang's voice was a little hoarse.
On the other end of the phone, Ye Mingmei suddenly stopped talking.
"Mingmei, I'm sorry, I ??"
"You shut up," Ye Mingmei shouted angrily. "You damned girl, do you still know how to call me? Do you know how a
oyed I am? I wanted to contact you, but I don't know your number, so how could you not contact me for six months? Wait a moment, why did you use your cell phone number to call me this time? "
All these years, to be careful, Ning Jiang would only call Ye Mingmei from a local pay phone when she was away on a business trip.
In this half a year, she hadn't been on a business trip, so she hadn't contacted her for a long time.
"Mingmei, let's meet once."
"Meet?" Ye Mingmei frowned. "Where are you?"
"I'm back to North City."
Ye Mingmei tensed up a little. "Why are you back? Is there a new strategy? "
"Where did this strategy come from? Luo Hanshang found me."
"Did he force you to come back? He's already a beauty in his arms, why would he force you to come back? "
Ning Jiang pursed her lips, "It's hard to explain all of this. Let's meet up first. I really miss you so much. There are so many things I want to tell you."
"I'm currently participating in an event in Plum City. Wait for me there, I'll book a plane ticket back."
"There's no need to rush. In any case, I won't be leaving in the future. You should settle your own matters peacefully."
"No, I must fly back immediately. Even if I fly back now and see you again, it will be tomorrow."
"Alright, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up, Ning Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Returning to the North City had its benefits too, such as ?? She could see her favorite friend again.
She sank into bed and took another nap.
It was four in the afternoon when she woke up.
As she was tidying up the room, there was a knock at the door.
Ning Jiang looked in the direction of the door. Not many people knew of her return.
If Zishu were to come, he would definitely make a phone call. He would never ?? It's Luo Hanshang again, right?
She walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"Young Madam, it's Lao Fang. Following Young Master's orders, I'm here to bring you back to Luo Garden."
