The quiet Moskva River flows slowly, and the park on the bank is full of wild flowers. Diana, dressed in a yellow dress, is sitting on the swing, and she is already picturesque without having to speak.
Li Muye just looked at her and said nothing.
Although he had refused, Li Muye still admitted in his heart that Chu Qinchuan's bad idea was actually the most appropriate solution at the moment.
If you marry this girl, you will be half Russian. Coupled with the special relationship between Elena and Bergomi, even if she cannot be completely accepted as one of her own family members, she will at least be accepted by those people more easily. There will also be much less open and covert attacks.
The problem now is that Li Muye has prepared a wedding ring, but he will never give it to any woman other than Nana.
When people are in the arena, it is inevitable to act when the situation arises, but there is a limit that must be adhered to.
This option has exceeded Li Muye's limit. In order to develop his career, he once had a romantic love affair with Wang Hongye, but Li Muye had already made it clear to Wang Hongye before that relationship began. Comparatively speaking, the Russian girl in front of him was much better than Wang Hongye in terms of appearance and temperament. If marriage was not a prerequisite and she was just playing a Russian-style gangster, Li Muye would not have any obstacles in his heart.
"Li, what's your favorite season?" Diana looked at Li Muye with a naive expression and asked.
Li Muye rolled his eyes and said, "If it's in Russia, I like autumn best. If it's in my hometown, we all prefer spring."
Diana said: "I also like spring. How do you say spring in Chinese?"
Li Muye taught her once. Diana repeated it several times, sighed, and said, "Li, why do you like Russian autumn?"
"Because autumn is the harvest season, for me, a businessman engaged in agricultural economics, autumn means the time to harvest wealth." Li Muye said patiently: "In another half month, Bisike's The harvest is about to begin on the farms, the flour mills and bread mills will be running at the same time, and when I think about this, I certainly prefer autumn in Russia.”
"I don't like autumn." Diana sighed: "In autumn, winter is not far away. When that time comes, Moscow is like an old man who has lost his youth. It is so boring. I like Vallam's praise of spring. Poem: Through my small double-layered window, I saw you in spring. White roses breathed on the slender flower paths, and the girl drew letters on the winter glass windows. At this time, spring bloomed on the other side of the sea. How so. What a beautiful poem.”
Li Muye is vulgar and has no writing, and he has no idea who this Russian poet is. The arty smile was a response to the little girl's poetic mood.
"Mr. Liusinski came to the store yesterday to look for mom, and he even mentioned your name." Diana said suddenly.
"What did he say about me?" Li Muye asked as he pushed the swing.
Diana said in broken Chinese: "Nothing." Then she said in Russian: "They have been talking about you a lot recently. Isn't Elgin Mining going to purchase a batch of mining machinery suitable for extremely cold areas? Liusinsky hopes to Securing this order on behalf of St. Petersburg Commercial Machinery.”
"Then just give it to him." Li Muye said lightly. Then he added: "You have recently begun to care about business matters."
Diana said: "I can't always live in a fairy tale." Then she added: "I suddenly discovered that I like China very much recently, so I signed up for a Chinese learning class. What do you think of what I said?"
"There is progress." Li Muye said with a smile: "But if you want to truly understand the Chinese people, it is best to go and live in China for a period of time."
Diana shook her head and said, "I don't want to get to know other Chinese people, I just want to be able to communicate with you without any barriers."
It has been a month since the last incident, and this little girl has matured a lot. Although Li Muye did not accept Chu Qinchuan's suggestion, he did not completely reject his ideas. Even if you don't get married, you can still get closer to Diana at this stage. After all, this is what Irina and Timov want to see. Their purpose is to control Li Muye, and beauty trap is also one of the options.
After Nicholas' incident, Li Muye used his strength and shrewdness to warn the other party. A certain tacit understanding has been temporarily formed with Timov and others. But in order to stabilize the current relationship, I decided to go out with Diana in a cowardly manner.
First of all, Diana couldn't disobey her mother's destiny, and secondly, she was not disgusted with Li Muye and was even grateful, so she was quite involved in this matter. She is a stubborn girl, and it is difficult to look back on something she has determined. At first she thought Nicholas was good at everything, but then she found out that he didn't treat her as a dish at all, and after taking advantage of her, he abandoned her like a pair of shoes. After being sad, she finally let go of her feelings completely. Now, with the instigation of Timov and others, Li Muye has been targeted again, and he has been fully committed from the beginning.
The secret of the easter egg was finally solved. It turned out that there was a USB flash drive hidden inside. The content inside was very exciting. It was actually an agreement between the Agricultural and Industrial Bank and a well-known North American mining company in the United States. It was signed two years ago, at a time when oligarchic giants were falling. In order to leave a way out for himself, Gurnov contacted this North American mining company with a special background.
With Gurnov's death, this agreement, which had no legal effect after being drafted, lost the basis for execution. But if it was taken by someone with ulterior motives and used to brand Li Muye as a North American spy, it would still have some deterrent effect under the principle that the espionage industry would rather kill the wrong person than let go.
Fortunately, Li Muye was alert enough and discovered it in time so that this thing did not fall into Liusinski's hands.
The person behind Nicholas was Liusinski, and Li Muye only found out later that Nicholas was now working under Liusinski. If he had been killed that night, I would have become a puppet in the hands of Liusinsky, a new oligarch with an extremely complicated background.
Perhaps out of the purpose of restricting Li Muye's career development, Timov has been standing still and has no intention of promoting the establishment of a new company. Of course, Li Muye hopes to establish a more solid business cooperation relationship with them to strengthen his position here.
But as Lao Chu said, status is not given by others, but earned by oneself. Lao Maozi worships power, is brave, fearless, greedy and wise. For the sake of profit, he dares to draw his sword and fight decisively at any time, but at the same time, he will remain in awe of opponents who are strong enough and cruel enough. Therefore, in this land, if a foreigner wants to develop his career, it is not enough to have a bit of wolfishness, but also a bit of tigerishness.
Li Muye is as cunning as a fox, decisive and cruel as a jackal, but what he lacks is a bit of recklessness.
"Are you missing your hometown?" The little beauty stared at her infatuatedly and said, "A man like you must be very popular with women in your hometown, right?" "Not really." Li Muye said casually: " When I was young, my family background was very ordinary, and I was not considered a popular person there."
Diana said in a coquettish tone: "Then what are you thinking about? Can't you see that the person in front of you has changed into a beautiful new dress?"
Li Muye smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I do have something on my mind."
Diana said with self-pity: "Maybe it's because I'm not good enough."
Li Muye comforted him: "You are already fine, but I have been under a lot of pressure recently."
"How can I really enter your life?" Diana stopped the swing, walked to Li Muye, slowly leaned over, snuggled into the man's arms, and said quietly: "Is it because of my mother and Liu Xin?" Ski and the others, why are you so lukewarm to me?"
Li Muye held her waist and said gently, "Don't worry too much, I'll just stay with you."
Diana said: "I'm not a fool. Can't you tell if I have something in your heart? In fact, I knew from the beginning that my mother and Liusinski wanted to use me to control you. I couldn't refuse them, and I You were a little curious, so you agreed. Of course, such a beginning is not a beautiful beginning of a perfect love."
She was honest. Is this a hard-to-get trick? Li Mu ambitiously thought to himself. So far, this little girl has been acting harmless to humans and animals, and there is almost nothing else besides being innocent and cute. Maybe I am too worried
Just listen to Diana continue to say: "I know that you are actually with me to deal with them, and I also cooperated with you because I thought it was not bad for you and them."
"Isn't it now?"
"Of course not." Diana said: "Nicholas said that all Russian women need are furs and bread. It's really a fool's logic. That's because he has only come into contact with Russian women who despise him the most."
"You know the story of Anna Karenina."
Li Muye shook his head calmly.
"Russians know this story, just as everyone should know Leo Tolstoy and Pushkin."
Li Muye said: "I don't read much, please forgive my ignorance."
"It's a tragedy about love. I appreciate Anna's courage, but I don't sympathize with her ending of lying on the train." Diana said: "Although she has the courage to pursue love, she cares too much. She seems brave, but in fact she has always lived. It's very contradictory. In my opinion, a woman who pursues love should be noble and simple. She should work hard, leave no room for herself, and never look forward or backward. When she falls in love with someone, she should fully integrate herself into his life, be happy, Enjoy your love freely."
Li Muye said: "I have never heard of this story, but I can't agree with your idea. Life is short, shouldn't we be extra cautious and cherish it? If the person you fall in love with doesn't love you, even if you are together reluctantly, it will really Feeling happy?"
"All changes in life, all charms, are made up of light and darkness." She continued in a dreamy voice: "If I fall in love with someone, I will love him desperately, be with him, and miss him. Whatever you think, don't worry about what's going on. If one day you don't love anymore, just end it quickly and wait or look for the next relationship."
The point is not whether you love me or not or how much you love me, but whether I love you now.
Li Muye looked at her, with delicate cheeks and ethereal eyes, but his expression was a bit desolate and self-deprecating. He looked like the world was empty, indifferent and lonely, just like the indifferent and tired face in the city, the lonely and ambiguous whisperer. In the cold twilight, the entanglement of love and hate is told in the dust. It's painfully beautiful.
"Charmov is a big bastard, Lyushinsky is a heinous devil, and Bergomi is ruthless. Among my mother's lovers, only Mr. Timov regards her as a woman who can interact with her on an equal footing." Diana suddenly spoke up. Reprint: "Elena's love life is a complete mess. When I was a child, I even thought she was as despicable as a concubine. She didn't care about sleeping with any man for profit. It wasn't until I grew up that I gradually understood how much she cherished herself and her husband. I."
Li Muye looked at her in confusion, not understanding her true intention of saying this.
"Don't look at me so confused." Diana said: "I know that what I look like now is a bit ridiculous, even humble, but, bastard, I must tell you a fact, I am not a prostitute, and neither is Elena. ! We are all women who follow our own feelings to pursue a better life. She hates Chalmov, is obsessed with Liusinsky, despises Bergomi, worships and respects Timov, but she lives fearlessly and doesn’t care at all What others think of her.”
"I seem to understand a little bit what you mean." Li Muye increased his strength, making her body closer to his.
This contact made Diana a little nervous and excited. Her face was crimson and her eyes were like spring water reflecting peach blossoms. She looked at Li Muye and said, "You just understand a little bit." She leaned against Li Muye's ear and whispered softly. Said: "God will send a messenger to every girl at a special moment to help them end their girlhood. Elena said to me last night, Nicholas is not a real man at all, you are my messenger."
Li Muye said: "You might as well be more direct and tell me, what do you want from me?"
"There will be a special auction at the Metropolis tonight." Diana said, "I think you can take one of the lots for me..."
In Li Muye's view, the relationship between Diana and him cannot be summed up in one word: love. At least for me, it should also include ambition, desire, and even transaction. Maybe there will be a little bit of love and appreciation.
But from Diana's point of view, or from the situation shown in her external language, her love is unscrupulous and does not care about other people's feelings. As Nietzsche said, if you want to be a thinker, you cannot be a moralist. The same goes for those who have made up their mind that love comes first. The unity of thought and love is that they usually require only one thing: absolute simplicity - simplicity without limit.
Sometimes this kind of innocence is like a tiger hunting. It is silent when silent, but fierce and unstoppable when it moves. Just like the country of Russia, a place that has always been peaceful and immovable, but if it moves, it is bound to be destroyed.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Li Muye was sitting in the car and saw Diana coming out of the store dressed up, standing in the rustling autumn wind, looking pitiful and stunningly beautiful.
I can’t explain why, but I always feel that she is a bit unreal. Perhaps she felt that Elena’s daughter should not be so weak. Or maybe it's out of the instinctive precaution of a prodigal son.
Metropolitan Hotel, banquet hall on the 16th floor, the auction has just started.
Diana, who was as gorgeous as emerald and more eye-catching than diamonds, sat obediently next to Li Muye.
The host is announcing a new lot, one that interests Deanna. It was a knife that a Russian serial killer nicknamed Amur Shadow used in the early 19th century to help Nicholas II kill many of his political opponents.
Li Muye couldn't understand why this little girl was interested in this thing. Diana didn't give any explanation, but stubbornly asked Li Muye to take pictures for her. Li Muye has been in society for ten years. His greatest advantage is not how good he is at making money, but his courage to spend money. Especially spending money on people who need it.
Under the current situation, Li Muye needs Diana's cooperation.
I originally thought that it was just a short knife inlaid with gems and a gold handle, and that it would not be too difficult to take a photo of. However, I did not expect that the bidding price reached an astonishing figure of three hundred thousand US dollars from the very beginning. The other person was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes. Li Muye didn't recognize him, but he knew Chalmov who came with him.
Soon, the price exceeded the normal and reasonable range, and the bidding turned into a battle of tempers between men. When the price was called 600,000 US dollars, Li Muye was about to hold up the sign again, but Diana's hand stretched out and held down the arm holding the sign.
Li Muye looked at her in confusion.
"This price is outrageous enough." She said softly: "For me, the object is not that important. The most important thing is to see that you are willing to spend such a high price for me."
"As long as you like it, no matter how high the price is, it is worth it." Li Muye said seriously: "I can't give you the best, so I have to try my best to give you the most expensive."
Diana smiled: "I want more than just this knife."
"Dear Li, it seems that you can't be the winner tonight." Charmov walked over with his fat body shaking.
"Mr. Chalmov." Li Muye and Diana both nodded in greeting. They did not stand up and did not intend to communicate with him too much.
But Charmov was obviously very proud. He put his hand with many diamond rings in front of his chest, flicked his fingers and said, "Look, you and I are so destined that you can even appreciate things with such eyes." So consistent that we can always find common preferences, but this time you won’t have another chance to beat me.”
Li Muye looked at him calmly and said, "Congratulations, that's a really good knife. I feel very sorry that I didn't get it."
Charmov smiled proudly and said arrogantly: "Young man, this is Moscow, this stage belongs to the Russians, Timov needs you, but I just want to kick your ass."
"You drank too much, I won't argue with you." Under Li Muye's calm surface like a glacier, there was a volcano of oppression.
Charmov burst out laughing and said: "Votega is a man's best friend, and women are just slaves and dolls. If you don't understand this, you will never understand Russia. You only deserve to go back to your country with a long history." Living in a cave on the top of a mountain eating bananas.”
"This is not what a well-educated gentleman should say." Diana said: "Mr. Charmov, I want you to apologize to Mr. Li and me for what you said and did just now!"
"Fuck you." Charmov spat on Diana's shoulder, patted the blond young man next to him on the butt, and walked away proudly.
Li Muye watched him leave, thinking about what would happen if he caught up and beat him up. At the same time, I was still a little hesitant, because I was not sure whether meeting him here tonight was by chance or inevitable with ulterior motives. If I do that, will I fall into a new trap
"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom and take care of things." Diana pointed to her shoulder and said, "I'm afraid I need to go back to the car to pick up some clothes. Please wait for me a little longer." She got up and walked halfway out. He came back and said, "I opened a room in your name downstairs. If the auction doesn't interest you, you can go there and wait for me. I'll be back soon."
What is this little girl going to do? From her ambiguous and passionate eyes, the answer seemed to be ready to come out. Li Muye didn't want to refuse anymore, he needed to vent his pent-up anger. A Russian woman is a good choice.
The light in the room was soft and the TV was on. Li Muye had just taken a shower and was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette and watching a movie.
Diana changed into a purple hunting suit and walked directly into the room. Without saying anything, she simply took off all her clothes and walked straight into the bathroom.
Li Muye looked at her flawless body like a white jade carving, and even his mind fell into a trance.
Everything that happened next came naturally and naturally.
"Why do you smell like blood?" Li Muye sniffed gently on her shoulders as delicate as celadon.
"I've never slept with a man before." Diana's answer was a bit off. To Li Muye's surprise, she looked calm and fearless at this moment, like a little tigress hunting for the first time. She was different from the delicate and jerky woman before. The children are very different.
"Sorry, please forgive me for being rude just now." Li Muye noticed the red stain on the sheets and said apologetically, "I was so angry with that bastard Charmov."
Diana shook her head slightly and said: "It's not worth being angry with him, and I don't blame you for this. Elena taught me that this is how men are."
"Why do I suddenly feel that you are a little different tonight than before?"
"Diana was a girl before, but after tonight I am a woman."
"That shouldn't be the whole answer."
"How about marrying me?" Diana took the initiative to stick to her, as gently as before: "My body and mind belong to you."
"If I say no, what consequences will I bear?" Li Muye weighed the weight of her words in his mind.
"There will be no consequences, but I will be very sad." Diana said, "They will not continue to cooperate with you with confidence."
"I have a very important marriage partner in my heart. Without her, I would not be here at all, nor would I be where I am today." Li Muye said, "I will never give up on her at any time."
Diana thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you can get divorced even if you get married. The important thing is not the marriage relationship itself, but that I want to get what I want from you."
"what do you want?"
"I want you, as well as your wealth and channels." Diana aimed at the part of Li Muye that was not controlled by emotions and sat down. Said: "You need me, you can't feel it now, but tomorrow's newspaper will let you understand..."
"Tomorrow's newspaper?" Li Muye felt the satisfying pressure and couldn't help but hissed, asking: "Are you going to give me a surprise?" (End of Chapter)
