Outside the door, Yu Jian (Third Young Master) was familiar with Jiang Jiu. When he saw her, he said,"Brother Jiu is here tonight too. It just so happens that my second brother is back. Let's have a drink together."
Jiang Jiu was silent inside the door, and Yu Jingzhou was also silent outside the door.
The situation was awkward.
Yu Jian glanced at Yu Jingzhou and then at Jiang Jiu.
They had grown up together. Although Yu Jingzhou had gone abroad for five years, there was no need for them to be so unfamiliar with each other, right?
Yu Jian scratched his head."Ninth Brother, Second Brother, aren't you going to say hello?"
Yu Jingzhou's eyes were gentle, and he seemed to have the intention of greeting her. However, Jiang Jiu's eyes were cold and emotionless. If one had to look closely, one would only see indifference.
"Do you want to play pool?" Yu Jingzhou spoke first.
His voice was as clean and cold as he was. The ending was short and simple.
From the moment the door of the private room opened and the two of them bumped into each other, Jiang Jiu had noticed Yu Jingzhou's gaze on her. That fellow had almost never looked away.
He stared at her, making her feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Jiu raised his head and stared at the man in front of him with his slightly raised cat eyes. She furrowed her eyebrows as if she was thinking about who this person was.
She thought about it for a few times before she seemed to find a rare fragment of him in the deepest part of her memory.
"Yu Jingzhou!" Yu Jian shouted as if he had seen a ghost."Ninth Brother, you actually forgot about my second brother? No way, you guys used to be very…"
Jiang Jiu nodded, indicating that he remembered Second Brother Yu Jian's name. "I still have to go to work tomorrow. I'll leave first."
After saying that, Jiang Jiu didn't stay for a moment longer. He walked around the crowd and left.

After leaving Nineteen Ninety-Eight, Jiang Jiu's head was plunged into the cold wind. The girl instinctively wrapped her coat around herself.
It was cold at night in the capital during winter. Through the large area of fog that he frequently exhaled, Jiang Jiu realized that his breathing had become disordered.
The Yu family and the Jiang family lived in the same courtyard. It was no exaggeration to say that she had known Yu Jingzhou since the day she was born.
She went to school with him, after school, on outings…They were almost inseparable.
When she was 15 and he was 18, the elders of the two families decided on marriage. They said that they would get married when Jiang Jiu reached the age of marriage.
If she remembered correctly, Yu Jingzhou left the capital three days after her eighteenth birthday. He had been gone for five years.
He had never wanted a marriage between them.
To Yu Jingzhou, Jiang Jiuzhi was just a little girl next door. She had thought too highly of herself in the past and always felt that she was his favorite.
Actually, he had never said that he liked her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiu, who was driving, stopped the car. He took out his phone and released Yu Jingzhou, who had been blacklisted for five years.
She sent him a message."I'll be free in two days. Let's go to An Garden together to talk to the Jiang and Yu families about the annulment of our engagement."
Yu Jingzhou's phone rang."I'll pick you up after work tomorrow."
She had mentioned two days later, but he had replied tomorrow.
Yu Jingzhou was very enthusiastic about the annulment of the engagement.
