Chapter 2 chance encounter
Xiang Jianyun watched Yi Huan go away in a rickshaw, turned to look at Wu Liming, "Are you Wu Liming?"
Wu Liming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know me? Who are you?"
"My surname is Xiang, and I am Yi Huan's cousin. I live in Jianzi Lane, Tieshi Hutong." Xiang Jianyun smiled charmingly, his eyes fluttered, and he turned away.
The girl who was with Wu Liming suddenly realized something and grabbed his arm, "Is that Yi Huan the rich daughter who got engaged to you and broke the engagement with you?"
"No." Wu Liming subconsciously denied and pulled her away from Deli Cinema.
Two days later, Xiang Jianyun came to find Yi Huan again and met Zeng Shaowei and the other two. On the seventh day of the eighth month, Xinshang Department Store opened, and they came to ask Yi Huan to buy things together. Xiang Jianyun interrupted, "Huanhuan broke off the engagement, and she is in a depressed mood. You can take her out to join in the fun and relax."
"Huanhuan, have you really broken off the engagement?" Huang Lan, a female classmate in short-haired, heard about it, but she didn't believe it. Although she had been booking for so many years.
"Yes, I really broke off the engagement." Yi Huan admitted frankly.
"Huanhuan, you really have the courage." Zheng Yuhong, a female classmate in the long-haired hair, praised.
"This kind of arranged marriage is a bad habit and should be abandoned. Huanhuan, it is right for you to do this." Huang Lan said.
Yi Huan looked at Xiang Jianyun dumbfoundedly, and a sneered sneer flashed across his lips.
"Huanhuan, it's great that you broke off the engagement. My third brother has a chance." Another classmate Zeng Shaowei said happily.
"Shaowei, don't talk nonsense." Yi Huan glared at her. The two families had wanted to marry each other, and the ones who were the same age were Yi Huan and Zeng Shaowei's third brother Zeng Wanjie. Who would have thought that before the two families decided on this matter, Mrs. Yi inexplicably gave Yi Huan to Wu Liming. The marriage was left unresolved. Zeng Wanjie, who was hurt by love, went abroad in anger.
"How can I talk nonsense? Isn't my third brother good?" Zeng Shaowei smiled, "A few days ago, my third brother came back from abroad and asked about you."
"Shaowei, if you want to talk nonsense, I will issue an order to expel guests." Yi Huan had no affection for Zeng Wanjie, and he didn't want to get rid of one marriage and have another marriage.
Zeng Shaowei waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."
After chatting for a few more words, the three classmates said goodbye and left; Yi Huan did not leave to Jianyun, and directly issued an order to expel guests, "You can leave now."
"Huanhuan, why are you angry? I thought you didn't mind letting people know that you broke off the engagement." Xiang Jianyun frowned and pouted.
"I don't mind that others knew that I had broken off the engagement, but what was your intention to tell me in front of my classmates? I know, and you know, so there is no need to defend yourself. I used to be a relative and I didn't want to bother you, but you were too ignorant. Don't come to my house again in the future, I don't want to see you again." Yi Huan sneered.
Xiang Jianyun's pupils shrank slightly, but his mouth was still holding on, "Huanhuan, I'm worried about you. I want more people to care about you and comfort you. I have no bad intentions."
"You have made it clear, you don't need to defend yourself anymore." Yi Huan sneered, "Shaoxia, Shaoxia, see off the guests."
The maid Shaoxia walked in quickly when she heard the sound, "Miss Xiang, please."
Xiang Jianyun was unwilling to leave, so he shouted, "Huanhuan."
Yi Huan turned her head away and ignored it. Xiang Jianyun had to leave indignantly. When she returned to the entrance of the alley, she met Wu Liming who was waiting for her there, "How is it? Did she agree to meet me?"
"Huanhuan is arrogant and arrogant. Before you break off the engagement, it would be strange if she is willing to see you. In order to help you pass the message, I offended her. Now she is angry with me and drove me out." Xiang Jianyun lied.
Wu Liming quickly apologized and gave her a pack of wick cakes he had just bought; Xiang Jianyun still frowned, "I really don't want to participate in your affairs."
"I'll give you some work." Wu Liming bowed, "I'll give you a good reward after the matter is done."
Xiang Jianyun thought for a while and said, "Depending on your sincerity, I will tell you that it is impossible for you to ask her out, but in a few days, she will join in the fun of the newly opened department store. Where can you try your luck?"
"Thank you, thank you, please help me in the future." Wu Liming smiled happily.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to help you." Xiang Jianyun agreed.
The two separated at the entrance of the alley, Xiang Jianyun carried the bag of wick cake home, and Wu Liming also returned to the Wu family.
On the seventh day of the eighth month, early in the morning, there were crowds of people in front of the Xinshang Department Store. Many people who didn’t buy anything or couldn’t afford it came to watch the fun. The department store took the opportunity to conduct promotions. The imported products were already popular, but now they were 10% off and 20% off, which made those who had spare money very happy and rushed into the mall and rush to buy them wildly.
Yi Huan and others were shocked when they saw this. Huang Lan sighed: "I only now know that the people in Jizhou City are so rich."
The department store is a five-story arcade-style reinforced concrete building. The store is a tea room and a cafe. The shopping mall is inside. There are large stores on the first and third floors, with large glass cabinets for customers to choose goods freely. Some sell fashion, furniture, candy, rouge and powder, photo studios, bookstores, dim sum shops, etc.
When a few girls came in, they went to see the fashion first. In the eyes of others, these new styles were all old styles for Yi Huan, but in order not to disappoint her, she chose them with her classmates. Yi Huan picked a light green dress with a white doll collar. Under the instigation of her classmates, she entered the fitting room and changed into this dress.
Yi Huan changed and came out of the fitting room, which made everyone's eyes lit up, and they all said, "Huanhuan, this skirt is very suitable for you." Wu Liming, who was standing in the corner and hiding and peeking, nodded in agreement.
Yi Huan spent money to buy a skirt, and the classmates also picked up the right dress. After a while, they discussed it and decided to go to the cafe to sit. Yi Huan wanted to go to the bookstore next to see if there were any foreign documents, so she asked them to go to the cafe first. She entered the bookstore.
Seeing this, Wu Liming followed in and walked around a row of bookshelfs to approach Yi Huan. Seeing that Yi Huan reached out to get the books on the bookshelf, he quickly reached out to get them. The two of them almost touched him. Yi Huan retracted his hand and looked up at him, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Wu Liming showed a charming smile that he thought was, "What a coincidence, Miss Yi."
"Are you?" Yi Huan couldn't remember him.
"My surname is Wu, and my courtesy name is Zhide. We met once in Deli Theatre." Wu Liming reminded her. Wu Liming stayed calm and did not say the name. He said the name, and did not want Yi Huan to know that he was her ex-fiance, for fear of arousing Yi Huan's anger. After all, he wanted to break the engagement first.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Wu." Yi Huan said politely.
"Miss Yi also likes to read foreign documents?" Wu Liming asked with a smile.
"Reading books to pass the time." Yi Huan laughed.
"If you pass the time, this book is more suitable." Wu Liming took out a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Yi Huan.
Yi Huan looked down and saw it was "John Guy's Fables". He had never read it, so it was good to buy it back. He took the book and said, "Thank you for your recommendation."
"You're welcome, it's my honor to accept it." Wu Liming smiled.
"Mr. Wu, please choose slowly, I won't disturb you." Although Yi Huan is not the kind of person who refuses people thousands of miles away, she is not willing to have more contact with this man who came to chat with her inexplicably. She turned around and left with Shu in her arms.
