"Qihua, your taste is getting more and more peculiar, this little girl... is she an adult?"
It was the first time for Zhou Sitian to attend this kind of formal occasion, and she felt a little guilty. Don't listen, don't see, don't speak, just grab Uncle Shao's hand. Zhou Sitian told herself this.
She had thought about it, Shao Qihua looked quite good, if he could help him find a younger brother, that would be the best. If he can't, let him introduce someone who can. Anyway, he owed himself a life-saving grace, so he didn't need it for nothing.
It's just that not long after the banquet started, she met a nasty person.
The domineering woman in front of her is about the same age as Shao Qihua. She is well maintained and has a graceful temperament. At first glance, she is not a good friend.
Shao Qihua was about to speak, but was preempted by Zhou Sitian, "Thank you for your concern, maybe because I seem to be a little older than you, I'm really sorry for this misunderstanding."
In Qinghe Town, she had never seen any woman who was slandering her.
Shao Qihua was stunned, he suppressed his laughter, coughed dryly, and was about to open his mouth to excuse Zhou Sitian in front of his old friend, but he felt his arm tighten, and his footsteps could not help but move to the left.
Zhou Sitian imagined the scene of seeing Zhao Qiuhua again a thousand times ten thousand times. Maybe the woman would cry and say sorry, say she regretted it, and say "Mom is sorry for you".
Maybe that woman is still so arrogant, so indifferent, so out of tune with the environment, giving her a cold look when she sees her.
Or maybe she would yell at her, "I just left because your presence made me sick!"
I remembered it countless times and woke up from a dream countless times. Zhou Sitian never imagined that it would be such a scene when he saw Zhao Qiuhua again. His mother was wearing gorgeous clothes, holding an unfamiliar man, and smiled and greeted everyone with a smile.
From time to time, she exchanged glances with the strange man, the tenderness and tacit understanding in those eyes that Zhou Sitian had never seen before. She never thought that a proud person like Zhao Qiuhua would have such a soft side.
Maybe her soft side has always existed, but never showed it to them. Zhou Sitian bit her lower lip tightly, and the hand holding the champagne glass trembled slightly.
Dad... Dad, Zhou Sitian's eyes suddenly felt a little sour when he thought of Li Qiang's honest and kind smile. At the same time, an inexplicable sense of guilt rose in her heart. Her mother... how could her mother do such a thing!
"Miss Zhou? Si Tian? What's wrong?" Shao Qihua was surprised to find that Zhou Sitian was not tall, but her strength was not small. If she didn't resist, she would probably be able to drag herself away for a long time.
So the famous media tycoon and transportation king in Xiangjiang was dragged by a little girl halfway through the venue. Meeting someone he knew halfway through, Shao Qihua could only smile awkwardly, and even he was amazed at how tolerant he was towards this little girl.
After sending off a person who came to say hello again, Zhao Qiuhua's smile faded, she was a little anxious, Li Zheng slowly walked to the other side of the venue and gradually disappeared from her sight.
Shen Wannian had a very standard smile on his face. While he nodded to his business friends, he took time to glance at his son and daughter-in-law, "Now you represent the Shen family, don't put on a sullen face. Keep up, I'll take you to see you. See Sir Edward."
However, as soon as he stepped up, he saw a familiar figure approaching here. A big smile appeared on Shen Wannian's face immediately.
"Brother Shao, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look good." Shen Wannian took Yang Wanru and walked towards Shao Qihua.
Shao Qihua was about to say sorry, but found that Zhou Sitian suddenly stopped. She stood there, waiting for the Shen family to come to them.
"Who are they?" Zhou Sitian asked.
"Xiangjiang Newspaper, Shen family. Heungkong Newspaper is the most authoritative newspaper in the hearts of the older generation of Heungkong, the mouthpiece of the government, and is very famous in Heungkong." Although Shao Qihua is known as a media tycoon, but after all, he is too old. Heungkong Newspaper The status in the hearts of the older generation of Hong Kong people is hard to shake.
"The older generation? That is to say, it is going downhill."
Shao Qihua coughed twice, the little girl's words were not only direct but also poignant.
"Brother Shao, I heard that you are going to another city. The cinemas in California are not easy to get." The Shen family walked up to Zhou Sitian.
Yang Wanru glanced at Zhou Sitian secretly. Shao Qihua seldom brought female companions to such formal occasions, and Jiang Anqi would usually bring her companions. This little girl was very eye-catching.
Zhou Sitian ignored Yang Wanru's scrutiny, she let go of Shao Qihua's hand and walked straight to Zhao Qiuhua with the wine glass.
"This lady looks so kind." Zhou Sitian tried to calm herself down, but her voice was still a little trembling.
Zhao Qiuhua was stunned the moment Zhou Sitian appeared. If she saw Li Zheng, she was shocked and a little joyful, then facing this daughter, her heart was much more complicated.
Zhao Qiuhua found countless reasons to convince himself that it was the right decision to leave, but when he really faced the children who were abandoned by him, those reasons seemed so pale and weak, Zhao Qiuhua's face was slightly pale.
"Are you all right?" Shen Hongji asked in a low voice.
Zhao Qiuhua shook her head, her cold eyes fell on Zhou Sitian, "Let's go out and talk?"
Shen Hongji looked at his wife in surprise, he looked at Zhao Qiuhua and then at Zhou Sitian, shrugged and didn't speak.
"No, there's nothing to talk about between us." Zhou Sitian clenched her back teeth tightly, she couldn't cry, you couldn't cry, and you couldn't let this bad woman see a joke! Zhou Sitian kept repeating these words in his heart.
"What is your relationship?" Zhou Sitian still couldn't hold back and asked.
"This is my wife."
Although Shen Hongji thought Zhou Sitian's behavior was strange, because she came with Shao Qihua and seemed to be in a relationship between a man and a woman, he never imagined that the girl in front of him would be his wife's daughter.
Hearing this, Zhou Sitian finally couldn't hold back the expression on her face. She bit her lower lip so hard that blood dripped from her lips and she didn't even realize it.
Shao Qihua, who was chatting with Shen Wannian, smiled apologetically to Shen Wannian and walked to Zhou Sitian, "What's wrong?"
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, it's so funny." Zhou Sitian suddenly covered her stomach and laughed. Her cheeks were flushed, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. She didn't know if she was laughing or... crying.
Shen Hongji's face was very ugly, "Mr. Shao, do you care about your girlfriend?"
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Shao Qihua's eyes, and a junior actually talked to him like this. Although Shao Qihua and Shen Hongji were about the same age, he and Shen Wannian were the same generation, and Shen Hongji was naturally his junior.
"Brother Shen." Shao Qihua turned to look at Shen Wannian.
The smile on Shen Wannian's face couldn't hold back, "Hongji, you and Qiuhua go back first."
Shen Hongji was silent for a while, nodded, and supported Zhao Qiuhua to go outside.
Zhao Qiuhua raised his head and wanted to say something, facing Zhou Sitian's red almond eyes, he froze in place and was pulled out of the venue by Shen Hongji.
Shen Wannian felt ashamed, said a few words in a hurry, and walked away with Yang Wanru.
"Do you know Shen Wannian's daughter-in-law?" He was beside him, but he could clearly see the little girl's expression.
Zhou Sitian raised her head. She didn't know when the eye makeup had been painted. She wiped her eyes with her hand, and instantly a black mark appeared on her face.
"I said she was my mother, do you believe it?"
The sound of Sir Edward knocking on the wine glass was transmitted through the microphone to the entire venue.
"Today is December 24, 1982. I am honored that you can attend the banquet of the Hong Kong Governor's Office. Hong Kong is the Hong Kong of Hong Kong people. The prosperity of Hong Kong needs you. Prosperous Xiangjiang, cheers!"
"Cheers!" Everyone toasted together.
The glycol of grapes mixed with the astringency of alcohol slipped into the intestines, and Li Zheng regretted coming to this banquet. Edward did make a great contribution to the prosperity of Hong Kong, but his position was different. Democracy and freedom, the two biggest banners of capitalism, in his toasts are all excluding Huajing from taking back the sovereignty of Hong Kong.
"I'm a little bored, go out and get some air." Li Zheng said to David softly.
David nodded, "There is an artificial lake in the back garden of the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, which is very beautiful."
Li Zheng responded, took the coat from the attendant, and walked towards the back garden.
During the whole banquet, Liang Zhe glanced at Li Zheng's figure every two minutes, and when he saw Li Zheng walking out, he didn't even want to follow him. He walked through the venue and into the back garden, just about to look for Li Zheng's figure, but he didn't expect to see such a scene.
A woman hugged Li Zheng tightly, crying hard, tears and snot on her face rubbing against Li Zheng.
"Om" Liang Zhe only felt his head heat up, and his body was already walking forward uncontrollably.
He took two quick steps, came to the front of the two, and suddenly pulled the two apart.
Zhou Sitian and Li Zheng, who were still immersed in excitement, were stunned for a moment, and both pairs of eyes looked at Liang Zhe at the same time.
The withered leaves swirled around the trio's heads and fell to the ground.
Time goes back ten minutes.
After Zhou Sitian told Shao Qihua that Zhao Qiuhua was her mother, she couldn't help but choked with grievances.
Shao Qihua panicked all of a sudden, watching the eyes of the people around him constantly drifting over, and many old friends and rivals in the mall were eager to move towards this side, and he had no choice but to pull Zhou Sitian to the back garden.
Zhou Sitian sobbed while talking about her experience intermittently.
"How can she be like this, how good my father is to him, he doesn't despise her or me. She doesn't worry about anything at home, and her mother has to go to the ground, so she only needs to be sad at home. The next time I came back from the sea, I was obviously very tired and had to prepare dinner for us."
"Why is there no reward for good people? She's already married. She should have no idea that her father has left. She... " Shao Qihua is a stranger, and some things are difficult to say to familiar people, but it's easy to talk to strangers. Speak out.
No one had ever cried like this in front of him. Shao Qihua didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to take the attitude of coaxing his son more than ten years ago and comforted him in a good voice.
At this time, another boy came in the back garden.
Shao Qihua glanced at it, he had never seen it before, probably the junior who brought it.
As soon as Li Zheng entered the back garden, he heard a faint choking sound, and his body froze, which is very scary at night.
But soon, he found that the cry was really familiar. When he first crossed into this era, people were still groggy in their ears from time to time, as if it was this voice.
He took two quick steps, and then his body froze. The eye sockets were red, the bags under the eyes were dark, and there were a few strange black marks on his face. He was staring at his woman without blinking...
"Sister..." Li Zheng showed a big smile at the corner of his mouth, and his always cold Danfeng eyes curved into a warm arc.
You are fine, just fine.
Zhou Sitian wiped her eyes hard, and her eyeliner instantly became more dizzy.
"Xiao Zheng! It's really you! Xiao Zheng!!" Zhou Sitian jumped up abruptly, taking three steps at a time, and threw herself on Li Zheng.
Li Zheng staggered two steps and almost fell. Even if his nutrition was good recently, his height didn't mean to grow any longer. Li Zheng thought, if he didn't get taller in two years, his laboratory would probably have to study the length of the body. High drug too.
Zhou Sitian was still half a head taller than Li Zheng, so she hugged Li Zheng effortlessly and turned around in a circle.
"It's really you! You know how scared I was when I heard that you fell into the sea! Thank you that you are okay! Thank you that you are okay!" Zhou Sitian kept repeating this sentence in her mouth, she had experienced too much this night Now, first Zhao Qiuhua and then Li Zheng. There was a mixture of sadness and joy, the tears and snot that had been finally stopped swelled up again, this time it was Li Zheng's clothes that were unlucky.
Li Zheng patted Zhou Sitian on the back soothingly. Their eyes met the approaching Shao Qihua, and a trace of doubt and dislike flashed in their eyes.
But before they could officially fight, Liang Zhe suddenly interjected.
The eyes of the remaining three people invariably looked at Liang Zhe, who was expressionless.
Liang Zhe glanced at Zhou Sitian coldly, and there was a disgusting expression on his paralyzed face, "Ugly!"
Zhou Sitian's eyes widened, and the big almond eyes looked a bit terrifying against the horrific eye makeup.
"Ugly to death!"
Zhou Sitian pointed to himself, opened his mouth, but didn't take a breath, almost choked to death!
"you you… "
Liang Zhe ignored Zhou Sitian at all, and just frowned at the snot and tears on Li Zheng's coat.
To take off or not to take off
While Liang Zhe was hesitating, David's strange Cantonese voice came from the entrance of the back garden, "Li, are you there? The banquet is over soon."
The face of Daniel holding a dry towel immediately appeared in Liang Zhe's mind. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, he immediately took off his coat, and quickly walked to Li Zheng's side.
He casually threw Li Zheng's dirty coat to the ground, and then draped his own coat over Li Zheng's body in one go.
Li Zheng…
Zhou Sitian…
"Oh! God, Banshee!" David stepped forward and exclaimed when he saw Zhou Sitian's appearance.
Zhou Sitian was stunned for a moment, touched her face, and looked at Li Zheng and Shao Qihua with questioning eyes.
Li Zheng: "It's not terrible, but the makeup is a bit flowery."
Shao Qihua: "Well, what foreigners say is exaggeration."
…
At the end of the banquet, Li Zheng declined David's offer to send him a ride, and followed Zhou Sitian into Shao Qihua's car.
He still doesn't understand how Zhou Sitian can deal with Shao Qihua.
Shao Qihua, Hong Kong media tycoon and transportation king, in the late 1990s, Shao Qihua's media map covered almost the whole of Asia. Later, with the decline of TV and the rise of the Internet, the Shao family slowly disappeared from the first-class family in Heung Kong. The transportation industry is also the same. The Shao family failed to seize the opportunity for the transformation of the transportation industry from simple road transportation to the three-body linkage of sea, land and air, and eventually declined.
However, Shao Qihua had long since given up. In the 21st century, a famous Internet billionaire in China once described the Shao family as follows: Shao Qihua is a wolf, but unfortunately he gave birth to a docile pup.
"I didn't expect Miss Zhou to have such an amazing younger brother as Mr. Li." Shao Qihua said with a smile, just after a few chats with David, he inquired about Li Zheng's details.
A biopharmaceutical genius, young and energetic. Within a few months of arriving in Hong Kong, I bought the land in Pok Fu Lam Road East with the patent money, which is a large sum of more than 20 acres.
"Thanks Mr. Shao for taking care of my sister." Li Zheng didn't answer, just thanked him blindly.
A gleam of light flashed in Shao Qihua's eyes. He thought he only needed to deal with a fierce kitten, but he didn't expect that there was a fox hidden behind the kitten.
"Miss Zhou has saved my life. It should be my thanks to Miss Zhou for taking care of me."
"No need to thank you." Before Li Zheng could speak, Zhou Sitian took it off guard.
Li Zheng…
Shao Qihua…
Extending Lincoln stopped at the bottom of the apartment building, Liu Zhidong was already in a hurry at the door, and saw a person who looked like Zhou Sitian getting out of the car, he quickly stepped forward, but soon, his footsteps stopped.
Um, is this his rising star
However, the appearance of Shao Qihua suddenly dispelled the shock brought by Zhou Sitian's terrible makeup, "Shao... Shao Sheng?"
Anyone in the entertainment industry who doesn't know Mr. Shao, oh, no, in the whole Xiangjiang, there are very few people who don't know Shao Qihua.
"Oh, hello." Shao Qihua responded perfunctorily, and when he reached his position, he no longer needed to wear a mask.
Only then did Liu Zhidong notice that the one who sent Zhou Sitian back was actually an extended Lincoln, HKOO21, this license plate! Shao Qihua's car!
When he looked at Shao Qihua, his eyes fell on Zhou Sitian's face again. Uh... he must have thought too much, this face, cough.
"Xiao Zheng, this is Liu Zhidong, I just mentioned to you." Zhou Sitian dragged Li Zheng and said.
Li Zheng frowned slightly, with a polite smile on his face, "Hello, Brother Liu."
"It's fine, just come back, Sitian, your Uncle Zhang is looking for you, I have to find someone to inform him. You go up first?" Although he said to Zhou Sitian, his eyes kept on Look at Shao Qihua.
Oh, as expected of a rising star, this method is much more powerful than Li Wenhui. Li Wenhui had been Li Gongzi's lover for three years, and she had been beaten several times before she finally got a not-so-serious status.
This week, Zhou Sitian, in just a few days, hung up the big shark, Shao Qihua. After Shao Qihua's ex-wife passed away, he never remarried. There has always been news that the Shao family is going to marry Ms. Jiang, but there has been no real hammer. Liu Zhidong thought about it in his mind, and the smile on his face became bigger and bigger.
"Uncle Shao, thank you for today. You helped me find my younger brother, and the life-saving grace was written off." She waved her hand vigorously.
Shao Qihua's face stiffened, unable to speak, so he nodded.
"Go to rest early. The reunion of sisters and brothers is indeed something to celebrate. Next time I'm the host, I'll treat you to a meal."
Zhou Sitian nodded perfunctorily, dragged Li Zheng like a happy bird, and quickly ran to her apartment.
"Xiao Zheng, look, we are also family members. It's just that I've already given Uncle Zhang another room, and at night, I'll give you a year in the living room. You can overcome it first, and when I become a big star, I must buy a big house for you to live in!"
Li Zheng said dumbly, "Sister, what kind of house do you want to buy, we can buy it now, tell me first, what's going on, what advertisement, what Shao Qihua? How can you be related to these."
Zhou Sitian heard the words and seemed to suddenly remember something, "Xiao Zheng, before I say, should you explain why you suddenly become a pharmaceutical genius?"
