Wherever there is Lin Huayin, that is her home court.
This seems to have become a recognized law in the Four-Nine Cities. Even if this is Shang Yao's birthday dinner, this iron law still cannot be changed.
Lin Huayin came very suddenly and left very easily. Before leaving, she walked slowly to Xiao Zheng, straightened Xiao Zheng's bow tie that was slightly distorted due to his excessive sitting posture, and said softly: "Don't drink too much."
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng nodded, a little frightened. "I'll take you back."
He came up with his own ideas.
After Lao Lin made such a fuss, it was a bit embarrassing to drink this glass of wine. I simply went home with Lao Lin to watch TV.
"You do what you want." Lin Huayin shook his head gently, then turned and left the Yan family hall, leaving no room for maneuver for Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng stood there dumbly laughing.
I don’t know if Lao Lin is really angry, or if he is just here to declare his sovereignty. But no matter what the reason was, Xiao Zheng's wine was a little tasteless.
But on the other hand, Lin Huayin's declaration tonight announced the news of her pregnancy to Sijiucheng.
This is not something worth announcing to the world. Especially for a low-key woman like Lao Lin. It's a private matter.
But when she said this, she was somewhat petty. It seems cruel, but Xiao Zheng feels very cute. respectable.
After Lin Huayin left, the atmosphere at the scene could not recover for a long time. Shang Yao felt bitter in her heart, but she did not come to Xiao Zheng immediately. Instead, he held a glass of wine and slowly walked towards the quiet area in the southeast corner.
There is a man there.
A man in a neat suit with a slightly gray look in his eyes.
The man is about thirty years old. Holding a glass of whiskey from beginning to end. He drank very little and never got up.
An attentive person will notice. From time to time, he would use his left hand to knead his left leg. It seems that if I don't knead it a few times, this leg will become useless.
His name is Xue Kaiyang, a little-known playboy. The left leg is naturally shorter. You need to wear special shoes to walk like a normal person. Otherwise, his shoulders will be higher and lower when he walks. Very funny.
As the eldest son of the Xue family. The chief heir to a quasi-first-tier wealthy family. His appearance just isn't great enough. Business acumen can only be considered average among the younger generation. In Sijiucheng, many people in the circle call him the lame young master. His words were full of sarcasm.
The Xue family did not expect Xue Kaiyang to get Shang Yao's attention. I sent him here just to make friends with people in the circle and expand my network.
After all, occasions like this don't come often.
But no one expected that Shang Yao would go straight to Xue Kaiyang after Lin Huayin left.
The closer Shang Yao gets, the more nervous Xue Kaiyang becomes. Even the palm of the hand holding the wine glass was gradually dripping with sweat.
Xue Kaiyang is self-aware, and in his heart, Lin Huayin is an unattainable Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl, and he doesn't even dare to think about it. And Shang Yao is also a goddess that is beyond his reach. In particular, most of the young talents on the scene are more capable, have background, talent and looks than him.
How could he have such a sweet dream
But reality is far more absurd and interesting than the movie.
The more he dared not think about it, the more Shang Yao's behavior shattered his worldview.
"Master Xue. Can you have a drink with me?" Shang Yao sat opposite Xue Kaiyang in full view of everyone. Said very gently.
Perhaps in terms of beauty, she is indeed inferior to Lin Huayin. But how many women in this world can compare with Lin Huayin's beauty
Eventually we have to return to the real world.
Fairies are fairies, mortals should stay away from them. So as not to bring trouble to yourself.
Xue Kaiyang's expression was a little awkward and a little uneasy. He had not experienced much of the spotlight. Oh, no, since it was determined that he was born with a disability, he has indeed received higher attention to a certain extent. But they were all malicious and negative attention, which made him feel that life was not easy.
This is the first time that I have received such attention as tonight.
Xue Kaiyang swallowed his saliva, raised his wine glass very solemnly, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Of course, this is my honor."
He said this with all his strength. His back was already wet with sweat.
The two clinked glasses and drank, and then Shang Yao took the initiative to shake hands with them.
In the end, Shang Yao unilaterally announced the end of the birthday dinner. Go straight upstairs to your room. Never show up again.
Next, many young talents who had looked down on Xue Kaiyang or even ridiculed him in person took the initiative to stick to him and start a conversation with Xue Kaiyang.
Xue Kaiyang was still a little confused, but those young talents understood Shang Yao's intention. Although I was regretful, I felt a little more playful in my heart.
Tonight, Shang Yao does not need to directly choose a date. There are successes and failures in blind dates, not to mention a birthday dinner in an upper class society
I believe that even the Yan family did not give Shang Yao a death order and had to choose his fiancé among these young masters.
But after Lin Huayin left, Shang Yao chose a target unreasonably. A goal that no one could have imagined.
Xue Kaiyang, a lame young man.
Many young men think this is a choice worth pondering.
Angry? stubborn? Or give up on yourself
Maybe both.
But no matter what the reason was, a piece of pie fell from the sky and hit Xue Kaiyang on the head. He is lucky. Also unfortunate.
Everyone knew that he had become Xiao Zheng's replacement. It is impossible to win Shang Yao's sincerity in this lifetime. But he had no choice. After Shang Yao chose him, he had no way out.
He couldn't refuse Shang Yao.
The Xue family will never give up the God-given opportunity of marriage with the Yan family.
This is probably the most powerful sacrifice Xue Kaiyang can make for his family, right
Even though he was a passive sacrifice.
There is no autonomy even in sacrifice.
In the far corner, Xiao was sipping red wine. Yan Hong didn't know when she appeared beside him.
"Boss Xiao. What do you think of this matter?" Yan Hong sighed softly. He seemed to feel sorry for Shang Yao.
She knows better than many people that such a choice is full of suspicions of gambling. But it was also a helpless move.
Only by finding a fiancé who is weak enough can Shang Yao be fully in control. He would not become a pawn between the Bai family and Shang Jingtian.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Shang Yao to withstand the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.
Xiao Zheng shook his head: "I can't express my opinion."
He felt a little regretful about this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The favor owed to her was finally paid off this time.
It would be fine if we can cooperate in the future, but if not, we won't default on each other.
"Knowing that you can't do something, you do it." Yan Hong's eyes showed a touch of sadness. "Yao Yao is very smart. But she is also stupid like all women in the world. I hope that after tonight, she can distinguish between dreams and reality. Don't torture yourself anymore."
These words are extremely metaphorical. It was also the last words Yan Hong sent to Xiao Zheng.
