New Love

Chapter 53: New Love 53

Early mornings in Anhe Lane are always busy. Before dawn, there is the sound of cars driving outside. Neighbors all get up early, and the surrounding shops welcome customers as soon as they open their doors.

Only the door of the old house was closed until noon, and there was no sound at all.

Jiang Yun fell asleep, and woke up after twelve o’clock.

There was nothing to do today, she didn’t plan to go out, she had a casual lunch, and then she stayed at home watching dramas all afternoon.

Later, the last time the flower shop came to deliver flowers, it was still a large bunch of small daisies, but this time the card had words on it.

“L” written in black pen.

When she signed the receipt, although she already knew who it was, she still asked casually, “Is it the same person who sent it last time?”

The flower shop has so many orders every month, how can the staff remember this one, recalled it, smiled and told the truth: “It’s a tall and thin beautiful lady with such long hair.”

As he said that, he gestured on his shoulders and described Lu Nianzhi’s outfit. This person is very fashionable and sassy today, with a casual white shirt, a thin golden belt, a black suit, shorts showing long legs, and high heels. He is very eye-catching and impressed the staff of the flower shop.

Jiang Yun was even more convinced that it was Lu Nianzhi, so he just smiled, signed, thanked, and sent the employee out.

She unpacked the daisy bouquet and kept it in a vase so that it would last longer and not wilt as quickly.

A little later, an unfamiliar friend request popped up.

Lu Shixing wants to add her.

Jiang Yun agreed.

The little girl has a lively temperament, and as soon as she came up, she specifically explained that she was looking for Zhang Yi’s WeChat account, adding her because she wanted to invite her to dinner, and apologized for accidentally pouring water on Jiang Yun by her previous friend.

Jiang Yun couldn’t handle such a teenage girl very well and didn’t know how to talk, but luckily Lu Shixing didn’t mind at all, and sent a lot of messages by himself.

Lu Shixing is very cool in dress, but actually very soft in private. The little girl loves to post on the Moments, and she takes a few photos of everything she does. Even when Lu Nianzhi picks her up at the airport, she has to take a photo and send it with two sentences.

Jiang Yun clicked in and took a look.

The car window in the photo is open, and the afterglow is a brilliant golden yellow against the sky. Lu Nianzhi only had an indifferent but soft profile face, the halo was blurred, and the focus was out of focus, as if he had been photographed secretly.

After staring at the photo for a long time, Jiang Yun swiped to the next one, turned it back, and saved it.

She didn’t care about the message this person sent her this morning, and she didn’t plan to return, so she kept it there as if she didn’t see it. After leaving the circle of friends and returning to the message interface, she clicked into the chat interface of the two and glanced at it, but there was no new news.

Those words were like stones falling into calm water, first rippled, causing fluctuations, and finally returning to silence.

Jiang Yun couldn’t grasp it, and he couldn’t figure out his thoughts for the time being, so he simply focused on his work first.

Lu Nianzhi didn’t press too hard, he came in a hurry.

However, this does not mean that there is a cold scene between the two. On the contrary, from this day on, the flower shop will send flowers every day.

It’s all daisies, and the “L” on the card was written by someone himself.

—Lu Nianzhi passed the flower shop on the way to the studio, so he went in by the way.

The employee who delivered the flowers told Jiang Yun this, and cheerfully called Lu Nianzhi Ms. Lu, apparently knowing Lu Nianzhi.

Jiang Yun didn’t have much reaction to this. He collected flowers as usual every day, unpacked them, and put them in a vase. He saved three bottles before and after.

On the company’s side, Dai Zhichong arranged for her to meet Shao Qing, and assigned two new tasks to her, which were required to be completed within a week, but they were all chores and not too difficult.

In short, the work went smoothly, and there were no problems. Shao Qing’s performance was also normal. As for ordinary colleagues in the workplace, it was okay to get along.

Wednesday was Lu Nianzhi’s birthday. In order to avoid embarrassment, Jiang Yun didn’t plan to go, but asked Lu Nianzhi to come here at night, but Lu Shixing was not happy and had to let him go.

The little girl’s thinking is different from other people’s. She doesn’t like the way adults go around, making it seem like they are ostracized and isolated. She took the lead in organizing Lu Nianzhi’s birthday, and asked her friend to go to Peisheng to help pick up people.

Jiang Yun didn’t really want to go. After all, the news of her breaking up with Qin Zhao had already been made public. There must be Zhang Yi and the others at the birthday party. Many of the people who went were from Qin Zhao’s circle of friends, including Lu Nianzhi and Qin Zhao. Mutual friends, everyone knows each other, it will inevitably be embarrassing. Adults have adult considerations and ways to get along, and some contacts are really unnecessary. Besides, Lu Nianzhi plans to go to the old house to find her later, so this arrangement is very suitable.

But Lu Shixing insisted, saying that the birthday party would not be too late, so she went anyway.

Jiang Yun was wearing her work outfit, which was quite normal, but she went to the toilet to put on some light makeup before she got off work, and it looked okay.

Lu Shixing’s friends are enthusiastic. They are chatty and polite on the way to the villa when they drive her to the villa. After arriving at the villa, they quietly inform Lu Shixing.

There are many people here, not only Zhang Yi and the others, but also many new faces. The cafe owner Zhou Yunhuai and his wife are there, as well as Teacher Deng, and two people Jiang Yun has never met, the band that Lu Nianzhi formed before. The other two members, Jiang Zhouxu and Xu Min.

The scene was much better than Jiang Yun imagined. Soon after entering, Teacher Deng came over, picked her up from Lu Shixing and chatted with her. Zhou Yunhuai and the others also gathered around to chat with her. Jiang Zhouxu and Xu Min introduced themselves first, as if they had known her for a long time.

Zhou Yunhuai hugged his wife and said with a smile: “I am the bass player, Xu Min is the drummer, Jiang Zhouxu plays the guitar, and Nianzhi is the lead singer. This is my wife, Aini, a loyal fan of the band.”

Jiang Yun greeted everyone one by one.

Jiang Zhouxu handed her a drink and said, “I originally wanted to be a guitarist, but my voice is not good enough to drag everyone down, so I changed it with her.”

Several people are very easy-going, try to talk about light topics.

Jiang Yun wasn’t very able to pick up on everyone’s words, but he listened to them, interjected a few words from time to time, and then chatted with Teacher Deng.

During the period when Teacher Deng left, Jiang Yun felt a little uncomfortable, and Aini pushed Zhou Yunhuai away and held her.

Jiang Zhouxu talked a little too much, and he suddenly said something out of his head: “I have mentioned Miss Jiang to us many times before I read it. As expected, seeing a hundred things is better than seeing them. Miss Jiang is indeed…”

Xu Min kicked him in the back, and he reacted immediately, shut up quickly, and then forced himself to explain: “It was Zhang Yi who talked about you first, and we were curious to talk about it.”

Jiang Yun was stunned for a while, although he was puzzled, but when he saw Xu Min pulling Jiang Zhouxu secretly, he still winked as if he didn’t hear it, and continued to talk about other topics.

Lu Nianzhi was busy taking care of the guests, so he didn’t come here very much. He also took into account Jiang Yun’s feelings so as not to make her feel embarrassed.

Jiang Yun caught Lu Nianzhi walking through the crowd of guests several times, and stared at him from the corner of his eye. Lu Nianzhi also secretly looked here, and met her eyes many times.

As for Zhang Yi and the tavern owner, they have never been in contact with Jiang Yun. Everyone knows that she and Qin Zhao have broken up, and it’s awkward to come here, so it’s better not to come.

Except for a very few people, most people in Qin Zhao’s circle of friends are not aware of Qin Zhao’s derailment, let alone Xu Zhiyi’s existence. They were quite open about the breakup, thinking it was a peaceful breakup, no one was gossiping, and when they saw Jiang Yun, they would silently distance themselves.

When a couple breaks up, it is the most difficult to make friends in the middle. These people either don’t mix, or they stand silently on Qin Zhao’s side, and no one supports Jiang Yun.

This is normal. After all, they are people in Qin Zhao’s circle of friends. Even if they are aware of those bad things, Jiang Yun can’t force them to stand on his side. The best way is to keep a distance from each other.

During the meal, Jiang Yun and Teacher Deng sat together, Zhou Yunhuai and the others came to join a table, and Lu Shixing also brought his friends over, and the number of people was just right.

As today’s protagonist, Lu Nianzhi was dragged and drank a lot of alcohol during the meal.

Jiang Yun watched silently from his seat, not taking the initiative. Even when Lu Nianzhi came to this table, she didn’t have much reaction.

Lu Nianzhi didn’t do anything special, just poured her a drink and didn’t let her drink.

When they were almost finished eating, Jiang Yun went to the bathroom.

The living room was too stuffy, so she was in no hurry to go back and stayed in the bathroom for a few more minutes. It was these few minutes that she happened to bump into Lu Nianzhi and Zhang Yi chatting in the corner on the way back.

The two were talking about Qin Zhao.

Jiang Yun stopped, did not go past, stood still behind the wall at the corner.

Zhang Yi said a lot of things, including Qin Zhao helping outsiders cut off the business of Hu Lu Nianzhi’s studio a while ago, and the Lu family robbed the Qin family and the Xu family’s business, and cooperated with the Qin family’s competitors.

Knowing that there must be a problem between Lu Nianzhi and Qin Zhao, Zhang Yi asked what happened.

Lu Nianzhi didn’t answer directly, but said indifferently, “It’s none of your business.”

Zhang Yi was a little anxious, “Why is it none of my business? We grew up together, you used to have the best relationship with A Zhao, but this sudden trouble, what is there that can’t be resolved in private? It’s so stiff.”

Jiang Yun listened from behind, and was immediately startled.

Last time, Lu Nianzhi said that he went back to S City to deal with family matters, and Qin Zhao also went back. Is it because of these…

What Zhang Yi was still saying, Jiang Yun didn’t pay attention. When he came back to his senses, he heard Lu Nianzhi say very calmly: “Don’t worry too much about me and her, don’t interfere.”

The man left, leaving Zhang Yi alone.

When Jiang Yun heard this, the whole person froze. After a while, he ducked to the side until Zhang Yi walked away.

Back to the front, Teacher Deng was saying something with a smile. Seeing her back, he quickly waved, “Come here, sit here.”

Zhou Yunhuai and the others did not leave and stayed with them.

Jiang Yun sat there, chatting with Teacher Deng and looking around for a week. There is no trace of Zhang Yi, and I don’t know where to go.

The party ended around ten o’clock, and everyone left one after another.

Mr. Deng left early and went back with Lu Shixing. Jiang Yun received news from Lu Nianzhi, and went to the upstairs room to wait while others were not paying attention.

Zhou Yunhuai and the others stayed to help with the aftermath until most of their friends left.

Jiang Yun stood behind the window of the room and looked down. Without turning on the light, he could not see below.

There was a mint in the drawer of Lu Nianzhi’s bedside table, she took it out and ate one. Just as I closed the drawer, there was a sudden cry from downstairs—

“Azhao what are you doing?!”
