Qin Wanshu naturally wouldn't care.
After hearing Lorraine's explanation, she certainly understood.
Not only her, but Jiang Yan also understands it very well. Even Lan Lan, who has never been very talkative, knows that this complicated relationship between wealthy families may occasionally rely on this strange way of communication to maintain it, so , Lorraine is going to meet that Pantene tonight, which doesn't make anyone feel uncomfortable.
Because they all know that Lorraine is a man who puts business first.
Naturally, he won't ruin his career because of some women's affairs.
Of course, they also know very well that this Pantene has a not very good reputation in the capital. She seems to be known as a "willful person"? —Anyway, she has a bad reputation, and I don’t know who was the first person to hear about her lifestyle. Anyway, Pan Ting’s disorderly lifestyle is no longer a secret.
But the interesting thing is...
Since the news came out, it seems that no man has ever appeared beside Pan Ting. Except for her brother Pan Jiajun, she has never seen any man who can stand beside him for more than one minute.
Among wealthy families, there are of course those playboys who seek excitement. These playboys are thinking, since this Pantene is just as rumored to be, a woman who is flirtatious, why don't I just communicate with her? ? Maybe we can catch a ride with the Pan family. After we get married, we can still have her play with hers and me with mine
There are not a few heirs of wealthy families who have this idea, but without exception, they have all been rejected by Pan Ting. The way Pan Ting looks at them makes people very uncomfortable. Strictly speaking, when Pan Ting saw their intentions, her charming eyes immediately changed. It couldn't be said to be contempt... She would have shown pity and looked at them like a clown, so, Every man who communicated with Pantene with those thoughts had his self-esteem severely trampled by Pantene.
This is a cold rejection, but it is more ironic than a straightforward rejection.
Of course, most of these men who have been rejected by Pantene will angrily say to themselves in private: "Why are you pretending to be dignified after you scolded me?! A ** person is an ** person, and you still want to be a female cousin." It’s really boring to set up an archway!”
However, even if these superficial playboys spend their entire lives, they probably won’t be able to understand the thoughts of a woman like Pantene. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Pan Ting looking at them with such pity. Men who think this way will always be sad.
On the surface, Pan Ting was ruined by the groundless and false reputation she created, but looking at the rich daughter of the Pan family from an objective standpoint... To be honest, she is very good, very good. Her excellence is different from Han Xuan's excellence.
Han Xuan is a standard princess, her appearance, temperament, words and deeds, every detail is impeccable. And under these perfect internal and external conditions, she still has a courage and potential that is not weaker than that of any man, which is beyond the reach of many women.
As for Pan Ting, it's different. In terms of appearance, temperament, words, deeds, and behavior, she also has it. Compared with Han Xuan's feeling of a noble princess, she belongs to the style of a enchanting queen. As for courage and talent, She also has her own opinions on many things. At least, in terms of her mind and courage, she is already unmatched by many men.
Therefore, regardless of the rumors that Pan Ting deliberately ruined her reputation, Pan Ting and Han Xuan, the two wealthy daughters, really formed a sharp contrast. In the circle of wealthy daughters, there are two of them, and the other daughters, They all seemed overshadowed.
However, Lorraine didn't care about such a woman at all and was not interested in her at all. It would be fine if Lorraine was the kind of person who cared about outside rumors and criticism, but he was not.
… …
In this strange atmosphere, night falls quietly.
The starry sky tonight is particularly brilliant. The bright night sky shines with tiny points of light from time to time, making this beautiful and sunken metropolis even more charming.
The place where Lorraine and Panting met was a very stylish couple's hotel restaurant.
This restaurant is specially provided for those noble people who want to protect their health, and their business method is unique.
On cloudy days, this restaurant is closed.
It will only be open when the weather is nice.
Because the business address of this restaurant is on the rooftop of one of the tallest buildings in Beijing!
The night sky is clear, the music is melodious, the stars flash from time to time, and the elegant and polite waiters slowly shuttle through this stylish rooftop restaurant.
Every pair of men and women on a date talked to each other elegantly and sweetly, and drank together. Delicious food and the rich aroma of wine floated under the fresh night.
And in this harmonious atmosphere, the atmosphere between a man and a woman is very interesting.
The two of them have not spoken to each other since they sat down here, except for ordering.
They each ate their own food, each drank their own food, without even the most basic action of clinking glasses. In the eyes of others, maybe they were two lovers who were having trouble with each other, but they... were on their first "date" ".
The atmosphere is very subtle, but people notice it and don't pay too much attention to it. Mainly because of the light, no one can clearly see the faces of this man and this woman.
But if someone saw clearly and recognized these two people, they would probably take out their mobile phones and take pictures of this rare scene.
This man and woman were Lorraine and Pantene who sat together and "dated" for "certain reasons."
The bright candlelight was flickering and shining, illuminating the delicate faces of both of them from time to time.
The handsome man and the enchanting beauty were a perfect match, but... the two of them kept a distance from each other.
The two remained silent until... The band at this rooftop restaurant changed a song.
It’s ray; can”.
As soon as he heard this song, Lorraine's eyes suddenly lit up. Ray Charles was one of his favorite singers in his previous life and this life. To be precise, he was a musician. While Lorraine liked his songs, she also appreciated his legendary life even more. He was a soul singer who became blind at the age of seven, started performing on stage at the age of fifteen, and continued to perform until his death in his seventies. , his life is worthy of people's admiration.
Therefore, whenever she hears Ray Charles's songs, Lorraine's heart can't help but sway. In fact, Lorraine is an extremely emotional person deep in her heart. However, those who can touch the string of his sensibility There are very few people, but... certain works of art can easily open his heart.
Therefore, at this moment, Lorraine actually followed the rhythm of the music, gently raised her fingers on the table, and tapped them rhythmically.
And this scene happened to be seen by Pan Ting, who was sitting opposite.
She suddenly raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said the first thing they said while they were sitting here today besides ordering.
"Mr. Luo, do you also like to listen to Ray's songs?"
This question did not involve any issues related to the family's position, so Lorraine did not need to pay too much attention. He nodded immediately and opened his mouth to start a conversation with Pantene: "Yes, I like every song of his. - Now There are so many singers in the world, but how many can really reach the level of Ray?"
"Haha, maybe it's because he can't see that the music he creates is so deeply rooted in people's hearts. The world he sees is something that many healthy people can't see. Decades of darkness , maybe he has found some kind of hidden color a long time ago. When I was in the United States, I went to see one of his concerts. Although he was already very old at the time,... he played the piano happily, happily. The way he sang while laughing will always be engraved in my mind."
"Miss Pan was lucky enough to attend Ray's concert? I'm so envious... Unfortunately, when I started to really like Ray's music, I was helpless to find that he had passed away..." Lorraine shook her head with regret. Indeed, now It was already 2009, and Ray Charles passed away in 2004. In that year, the world lost two artists that Lorraine regretted the most, namely Leslie Cheung and Ray Charles.
Lorraine is not a groupie, he just simply appreciates certain artists or literary figures.
What Lorraine didn't expect was that he and Pantene could find a common language on these topics. In fact, it's best for two people to talk about these seemingly unnutritious topics. Anyway, they have already met each other. If they just chat a few words, they can be considered to have become closer. As for what they talk about, it doesn't matter. It's fine as long as it's harmless.
"Haha, I also contacted Ray himself through some channels and took a photo with him. Mr. Luo, you have not personally contacted Mr. Charles, so you don't know... how funny and wise he is. artist." Panting was very happy to be able to find common ground with Lorraine in this regard.
It was obvious that the two of them were not talking nonsense. The two of them had really found a common topic and had great resonance.
"Does Miss Pan want me to be jealous?" Lorraine smiled sarcastically, then raised her glass and pursed her lips and said, "Haha, I just remembered that we haven't touched wine yet, well, let's think of an excuse... Here’s to the Godfather of Soul.”
"Haha, cheers."
