"Isn't this Mimi?"
As soon as I put the wine glass to my lips, I heard a familiar high-pitched female voice behind me.
The person who came was wearing a fiery red wrap dress, her good figure was undoubtedly revealed, her red lips, snow skin and big curly hair, her temperament was cold and bright, and Zheng Mimi, the little mermaid, was overshadowed as soon as she came.
"Isn't this my cousin?" Zheng Mimi tried her best to straighten her waist, and she did not lose her posture.
Holding a glass of red wine, Xiao Moyu critically sized up her cousin, glanced at her flat chest, dismissively said: "I heard you are practicing boxing? Do you practice more when you have time..." Suddenly she glanced at her Seeing me, the whole person froze there for a moment, staring at me in disbelief, "Why are you?!"
She has a pretty good memory, and she can still remember me after so long.
"Long time no see, how is Miss Xiao?" I raised my glass to her, trying to recall the nickname of the young master of the club, "That... how is Sasha?"
Xiao Moyu's complexion changed, and he was instantly confused by my question.
"Who is Sasha?" Zheng Mimi asked curiously, "You guys knew each other before?"
Xiao Moyu was strong and calm, he gave me a dark look, and said: "I have met once before, but I didn't expect to meet here. You... lovers?"
Zheng Mimi immediately hooked my hand, and the contest between women began.
"Yeah, we met in the boxing gym. He is my younger brother and I am his older sister. Cousin, look, are we right?" Zheng Mimi clung to me tightly, and said exaggeratedly at Xiao Moyu Fake laugh.
Xiao Moyu was a little jealous of me, nodded reluctantly, and said without sincerity: "Mm... quite right."
"Cousin, you should hurry up and find a boyfriend. Although you can no longer find someone as good as your ex-cousin-in-law, but find someone worse than him. Isn't that all about the streets?"
This means that Xiao Moyu is as bad as anyone after Sheng Minou
This girl Zheng Mimi can't tell, she is really well-infiltrated by the big family, and the art of speaking can get a score of ninety-nine without a hundred points.
"What's wrong with Sheng Minou..." Xiao Moyu was obviously very angry, but because I was there, I couldn't give full play to my strength, so I could only hold my long hair and pretend to be reserved, "You don't know that I'm playing with the skeleton band recently?" Is the lead singer SKY dating?"
"What? SKY?!" Zheng Mimi seemed to be a fan of this band, and had recommended their songs to me before. She was hit hard, clutching her chest and uncontrollably took a step backwards, almost caught by the hem of her skirt, but luckily I held her firmly.
She took a deep breath, and her nails were about to tear my clothes, but she was still armed and smiling, and faced the battle again.
"Oh, that's the man with no makeup and no eyebrows?"
This time it was Xiao Moyu who threw her head up in anger: "You!"
Literal and verbal, you come and I go, it's brilliant. It was really inconvenient for me to participate in the war between the two women, so I made an excuse to go to the bathroom halfway, and ran away with oil on the soles of my feet.
Anyway, I'm just a vase for show, and they don't care if I'm there or not.
The venue was very air-conditioned, and I felt a little cold even in a suit. I really don't know how those beauties in evening dresses endured.
Holding champagne and going outside, the terrace was lit with dim lights, and there was a piece of dark greenery underneath. Although the conference center is well-known, due to its long history, the infrastructure in many places cannot keep up, such as the faucet with separate hot and cold water in the bathroom, and the dim light outside. And because it is a historically protected building, even if you have money, you can't decorate and change the appearance at will.
It's perfect for a whisper-whisper tryst...
He put an untouched champagne glass on the brick railing, groped around, and took out the cigarettes and lighter from the inner pouch.
Just as it was about to be ignited, the door leading to the room was pushed open, and the bustle and noise inside poured out in an instant, and disappeared without a trace after a while.
I stood in the dark, Sheng Minou didn't notice me immediately.
He went straight to the edge of the terrace, put his hands on the guardrail, and looked down at the darkness in front of him. He froze for a long time, and he didn't know if he was drinking too much to catch a breath, or he simply wanted to avoid the crowd and get some air.
I watched his back, admired enough, and lit the lighter with a "snap".
This small sound is enough to break the silence and let Sheng Minou discover my existence. The muscles in his shoulders tensed suddenly, and he slowly raised his head, as if trying to distinguish the direction of the voice.
Then he looked over with a sullen expression and found my location exactly. When he found out that it was me, he stretched the frown between his brows uncontrollably, showing a rare surprise.
With a cigarette in my hand, I gestured at him: "Would you like one?"
Before, he must have turned around and left. But today, not only did he walk towards me without much hesitation, he took the cigarette from my hand and bowed his head to let me light it for him when it was over.
"Come out to have a shower?" I blocked the wind and obediently lit a cigarette for him.
Sheng Minou straightened up, leaned against the guardrail, exhaled smoke and said, "I hate socializing."
I nodded and didn't talk anymore. The two smoked their own cigarettes and fell into an eerie silence.
After the cigarette was finished, I lowered my head and took out my mobile phone, and played again: "Ah, Mimi is looking for me, I'll go in first..."
Just as I was about to leave, someone grabbed my wrist from behind, with such force that it seemed to crush my wrist bone.
I was throbbing with pain, and reflexively struggled to shake off the opponent's hand, but at this moment, the door that separated the glitz and silence was pushed open again, and a tall and thin man came out talking on the phone.
"I said that this matter cannot be known to others, I don't care what method you use, just suppress it..."
Hearing someone's voice, Sheng Minou suddenly let go of his grip on me.
I cursed secretly, rubbed my hands and turned around, and said with a trace of panic: "Brother, what's wrong?"
The man on the phone fell silent, Sheng Minou glanced over there, extinguished the cigarette in his mouth into the champagne glass beside him, and said without raising his eyes, "It's nothing, you can go."
I stood anxiously for a while, and seeing that he ignored me, I finally turned around and left. When the man on the phone passed by, the other party had already put away his mobile phone and looked at me with a probing look. The man has a pair of slender eyes and thin lips. He looks a little shrewd and ruthless, and he can barely praise him as a talent.
I nodded at him, showing a gentle and kind smile, but my heart had already ripped him apart and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Back at the banquet hall, Zheng Mimi had finished a round with Xiao Moyu and was looking for me.
"Did you see my cousin-in-law?" She held up a plate of food and asked me while eating.
"No." I picked a piece of sushi from her tray and stuffed it into my mouth without blinking.
At this time, there was a little commotion in the banquet hall. As a middle-aged man walked into the banquet hall, people would go up to greet him and make friends with him from time to time. For a while, the whole audience surrounded him with wine glasses.
"That's my uncle, Xiao Suiguang, chairman of Meiteng Pharmaceutical." Zheng Mimi whispered in my ear.
Xiao Suiguang should be in his fifties anyway, but he may be in good shape, so he looks like he is in his early forties, and he doesn't look old at all. The body is straight, walking with the wind. Just watching from a distance, one can feel the coercion and courage accumulated over the years on him.
Only after meeting him did I know why everyone said Xiao Moyu was really ugly. Hu's father gave birth to a son, no wonder the other party wants to find Sheng Minou to marry him.
From the temperament point of view, the two of them really have so much similarities.
Xiao Suiguang clinked glasses with the guests politely and chatted a few words from time to time. Suddenly, I saw the slender-eyed man who I had just met on the terrace appear beside him, and he was quite familiar with him and introduced him to all the guests.
"Who is that?" I asked.
"Oh, him." Zheng Mimi's tone suddenly became extremely disgusting, even more disdainful than when she was facing Xiao Moyu, "He is my uncle's nephew, also surnamed Xiao, named Xiao Meng, and he newly appointed him. Successor. People are hypocritical, I don't like it."
It seems that Xiao Moyu is really useless, Xiao Suiguang has completely given up on her, and turned to find an heir among his nephews.
"I'll just tell you this. My uncle valued his cousin-in-law very much at the beginning, and he cultivated him for ten years. He really wanted him to be his successor. It can be said that my cousin was just a person to facilitate all this. It's just a tool, but unfortunately... it didn't work out in the end. My cousin-in-law is not moved by fame and fortune, and he doesn't care about Meiteng's tens of billions of assets." Zheng Mimi sighed, "It may be like what my uncle said, Sheng Mingou is beautiful Everything Teng paid was bought with money. Without the ten-year deed, Mei Teng would never be able to keep the other party. When the ten-year period expires, he will no longer have any scruples, and he can let go and do what he wants It's over."
I was taken aback when I heard it, and I didn't understand why I said, "Ten years' contract?"
I was wondering why a person like Sheng Minou would have served a pharmaceutical company for ten years, even if he took the position of their chief legal counsel, but it was really not his temperament to hide behind the glory and give silently.
I have thought about whether it is because I am grateful to Xiao Suiguang for helping him, and he wants to repay his kindness. But now listening to Zheng Mimi's meaning, there is something else hidden
"I also overheard my parents say that something happened to my cousin-in-law's family when he was in college. He asked for a lot of money. He found my uncle's company alone and waited for a whole day to get married. The chance to meet my uncle. My uncle was very surprised what a college student asked him for, and thought he wanted to thank him for his support, but he was told..." Zheng Mimi cleared his throat, and said in a low voice, "Give me two hundred Wan, I will sell your company for ten years."
I repeated in amazement: "Two million?!"
"I don't know how the two talked about it, but my uncle finally agreed to exchange two million for him to be free for ten years. Fortunately, he did not disappoint my uncle. He discovered a loophole in a contract during his internship. It directly saved five million for Mei Teng. Since then, my uncle has attached great importance to him... "
Two million... ten years ago
Ten years ago, what could have happened at home, who else could have it besides me? Hearing Zheng Mimi's words a month ago, maybe I wouldn't take everything on me. But after seeing the locked room, and knowing that Sheng Minou is not really indifferent to me, how can I still tell myself that the money might not be for me
But how could it be two million, how could there be two million
Back then, my mother told me that the compensation to the Qi family was only 500,000 yuan, which was made up of her own savings plus the sale price of the house. Is this really the case? Even... Is it really only half a million
Her ambiguity at the beginning, her secretiveness, now it seems that they are all flaws, all loopholes.
Because you think Sheng Minou owes me, so you don't want to tell me the truth
I felt dizzy for a while. I was not allowed to be free for ten years inside the high wall. He was outside the high wall.
