This Damned Sweetness

Chapter 2

In the evening of the next day, when the lights came on, the Xifu Club located on Jingluo Street welcomed a group of distinguished guests one after another.

This Chinese court-style private club has always been a gold-selling cave for celebrities from all walks of life in Beicheng. Tonight, the young master of Cheng's second room is going to have a birthday party here.

When the Xifu Club here was just getting lively, Xu Qiao had already been lying in the skin management center next to the club for a long time, the gold leaf applied to her face was still extremely radiant, but her eyes dimmed.

She got off the night shift at eight o'clock this morning and returned to the hotel in the city. She had just slept for a few hours when she was coaxed here by the little sister.

Come on, come on, but Zhu Li's non-stop nagging made it difficult for her to have a beauty sleep.

The same is in the vertical and horizontal shopping malls, Zhu Li's vertical and horizontal shopping malls are "shopping malls like battlefields", while Xu Qiao's vertical and horizontal shopping malls are "department stores". Therefore, Xu Qiao can only understand three of Zhu Li's bitter workplaces out of ten sentences. .

This undoubtedly exacerbated her sleepiness.

"Little Mr. Zhu..." Xu Qiao murmured dying, "Please let me be quiet for a while, I will not sleep well again, let alone a gold weapon, even a nuclear weapon can't save this face..."

Zhu Li expressed respect and understanding to the professional ladies, and gave her a sympathetic look: "Uncle Xu is really good, and wants to train you, why don't you let you practice in his own company? After all, you are also a jewelry designer, and you are not overqualified when it comes to highway tolls. ?”

If you talk about this, then Xu Qiao will not be sleepy.

She got up from the beauty bed in a hurry: "Is it? It's an excuse to say that I haven't had a serious job after graduating for more than a year! He is just upset that I can't get married, so he deliberately punished me!"

Zhu Li nodded, feeling reasonable.

Although Xu's father, a "half-way monk" rich businessman from Beipiao, can't compare with the Cheng family's "time-honored" giants, but the Xu family has been in the jewelry business for so many years, and now it is considered a well-known brand in Beicheng.

Is the daughter of the Xu family afraid of becoming a vagrant? This incident made it clear that Father Xu was trying to discourage his daughter.

Zhu Li glanced at the clock on the wall: "It's time for you to go to work."

"I won't go." Xu Qiao groaned and lay back.

"Are you afraid that your father will throw away your belongings in the cloakroom?"

Xu Qiao pressed her face carefully with the edge of her palm, and the vigour, when she was angry just now, was gone, and she said in a soft voice: "My dad just wants me to fall in love, I have found someone. "

Zhu Li looked in shock at her girlish Huaichun face, which cannot be covered by 24K gold: "Didn't you break up with Cheng Ye not long ago?"

Oh, that was her ex-boyfriend's original name.

Xu Qiao shrugged: "He is much better than that disciple who dumped me if he couldn't sleep!"

"Who is it?"

"That's where you get to the point."

"?"

"I don't know who he is yet."

"..."

Xu Qiao told the story of the affair last night: "Don't worry, I forgot his license plate and asked someone to check it. When there is news, my dad will definitely let me cling to this gentle and rich Mr. Pagani, Will you still force me to pay?"

"Your courage is comparable to when I was doing venture capital."

Xu Qiao happily accepted the compliment, and when she heard the phone vibrate, she answered the phone "sitting up in shock": "Did you find it?"

"Miss Xu, I'm sorry, the owner of this car may be a big shot, and the information is well protected..."

The smile on Xu Qiao's face gradually disappeared: "No, no matter how leaky it is, how many people are driving the Pagani Fengshen in Beicheng? Can't you find out the elimination method?"

"All the known ones are excluded. Either the age difference is too far, or you knew each other before. Maybe the other party is not a native of Beicheng. He just arrived here, so the news hasn't spread yet."

Xu Qiao fell back on the beauty bed: "I've been talking for a long time, meaning that my venture capital investment failed?"

Father Xu was really cruel this time. Not only did he cut off her source of income, he even forbade her from entering the house, and even stopped her from using the driver.

The hotel she lives in now, three meals a day and travel expenses are mostly supported by Zhu Li. If she can't find a son-in-law that the old man is satisfied with, and loses her job at the toll booth, then the Hermès rare leathers, Chanel haute couture, Cartier chrysoprase, Boucheron red diamonds in her cloakroom...

Xu Qiao cut off the phone and said to herself: "No, how can the moon shine without the sun? My gems can't leave me..."

Zhu Li nodded in agreement.

That's right, without the backdrop of Bling Bling, no matter how beautiful a woman is, it will inevitably be a bit inferior.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qiao answered: "Without the radiant me, in which corner of the world will they be eclipsed?"

Zhu Li's apple muscles twitched: "What does Miss Xu, who is so brilliant but penniless, plan to do now?"

What else can I do

Xu Qiao asked someone to remove her face, put on light makeup, and went to the outside street to wait for Zhu Li's driver to pick her up at the Xinglinwan toll booth.

In the night, the streets are full of traffic, and red men and green women are traveling east and west with their companions. It is still the bright and prosperous world of fireworks, and it has not lost its color because of the lack of anyone.

Xu Qiao's heart was a little cold, and she gathered the windbreaker on her body.

At this moment, a somewhat familiar male voice sounded near her: "Xu Qiao?"

She turned her head following the sound, only to realize that the other party was not calling her, but calling.

The man in black tuxedo turned his back to her, stood in front of Xifuhui's door, and said in a coaxing tone: "You talk about her, I really have nothing to do with her, the kind of daughter raised by a nouveau riche, The embroidered pillow is rotten straw, and it takes up too much space when it is used as a decoration. Baby, didn't I listen to you last night, did I ask her 'Who are you'?"

Xu Qiao turned the toe of her shoe and tilted her head to look at the man.

Beicheng is really small, so small that she didn't expect that she would hear the behind-the-scenes footage of the wechat message in the early morning here, and her ex-boyfriend didn't expect that she would be caught by her ex-boyfriend even if she coaxed her incumbent on the street.

Cheng Ye kept talking without realizing it: "Be good, baby, you agreed to celebrate my birthday, my cousin finally gave me the face tonight and is willing to come, if I don't have a female companion by my side, I will lose my face... "

"Yeah, Brother Cheng—"

In the middle of Cheng Ye's speech, he was interrupted by a delicate female voice. In a blink of an eye, Xu Qiao walked towards him stepping on 8 cm high stiletto heels.

In the few short seconds he was in a daze for, she had already choked her throat and finished her lines affectionately: "Oh brother Cheng, why did you come out on purpose to wait for others, didn't they say they would be late! "

The female voice on the other end of the phone exploded immediately.

"No..." Cheng Ye retreated back and forth in a strange defensive posture, "Baby, listen to me, I don't know this woman... Hey baby!"

The phone hangs up.

Xu Qiao sighed and brushed off her clothes.

Cheng Ye gritted his teeth and chased after him to stop him: "Xu Qiao!"

"Young master Cheng doesn't recognize me?" She asked with a smile.

Dazed by the red-lipped and white-toothed smile, Cheng Ye's livid face instantly turned pale.

I have to admit that even if he tries to coax the incumbent, he can only criticize Xu Qiao's inner self, but cannot attack her appearance against his conscience.

She has a pure and harmless first love face with bright eyes, but she is matched with a curvaceous figure with a choking pepper. Do you think this kind of woman is fatal or not

To be honest, even if a vase of this level takes up space, he is willing to spend 800 square meters for it.

As long as the vase can be obedient.

Cheng Ye smiled: "How can I not recognize such a beautiful ex-girlfriend?" Then he looked behind her, "Alone, do you want to come with me?"

"The ex-girlfriend with rotten straw on the embroidered pillow, isn't it suitable?"

Cheng Ye choked up, and the embarrassment of being caught only lasted half a second. He immediately showed an expression of "I understand", and in front of Xu Qiao, he clearly sent the word "break up" to the number he called recently, rushing She shook her phone: "Isn't it suitable to become a current girlfriend?"

Xu Qiao looked at this furious operation in surprise, and probably understood why she received the breakup text inexplicably in the first place.

"Master Cheng, you are the third child at home, and you want to be the third child when you come out?"

Cheng Ye's face changed slightly: "What do you mean? Then you last night..."

"It was sent to the wrong person." Xu Qiao shrugged and left.

Cheng Ye grabbed her wrist: "Who are you bluffing?"

Xu Qiao tried to twitch her hand, but she couldn't take it away, she looked down and said, "Don't let go and shout again."

"Shout if you can. I'd like to see if someone will... ah!"

Xu Qiao lifted her high-heeled shoe, and the pointed heel hit Cheng Ye's toes.

Cheng Ye hugged his feet and spun around on the spot, screaming, watching Xu Qiao walk away.

The cool October wind blew her heartless and innocent voice: "I didn't say I was the one who shouted, it really is."

Just as Xu Qiao got into Zhu Li's car and left, a Maybach Zeppelin slowly stopped in front of the porch of the Xifuhui.

The rumor that "not every Maybach is called Zeppelin" made the waiters under the porch immediately cheered up.

A car boy who got the wind in advance immediately stepped forward, respectfully opened the door for the rear seat, bent over and said, "Good evening, Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Lang lifted his foot down, put his knuckle fingers on the placket of the suit, and gently buttoned the top button.

The male assistant who hurried around from the co-pilot put a Chester coat on his shoulders in time.

The waiters at the door began to glance over here secretly.

In Xifu, I met many nobles from all walks of life, some were gentle and elegant, some were rough and arrogant, but few had the demeanor like the one in front of me, who said he was unrestrained, but there was a bit of refinement inside, which he called reserved A gentleman, but he can't hide his sharpness.

"Natural coquettishness is all in the brows; all kinds of emotions in life are gathered in the corners of the eyes"-this man's eyebrows can make people understand "Dream of Red Mansions".

After Cheng Lang walked into the elevator without squinting all the way, a female waitress began to whisper: "Who is this? It looks a bit unfamiliar."

"I heard that he is the only son of Cheng's parents. He has been abroad all year round. He just returned to Beicheng a few days ago."

"The Cheng family? Which Cheng family?"

"Of course it's Lanchen's Cheng family!"

Lanchen Real Estate was founded by the old man of the Cheng family in the last century. It has gradually developed into a comprehensive group integrating real estate, commerce, finance and other industries. It can be regarded as one of the golden signs in the Chinese business community.

Twelve years ago, the old man of the Cheng family delegated power due to illness, and the two households of the Cheng family "shared food" in the family business. In the end, the second room temporarily managed Lanchen, and the eldest room moved to Europe with the old man who went to London to recuperate.

Twelve years have passed now, although the nominal chairman of Lanchen is still the old man, the actual execution and operation has already been handed over to Erfang. Therefore, regarding the fact that the only son of the Changfang suddenly parachuted into the group as a vice president, everyone was a little optimistic.

After all, after Cheng Lang moved to London with his parents, he was brought up by Mrs. Cheng himself. At a young age, he was famous in the shopping malls for his business skills that did not lose to his parents. Sun.

In the elevator, Gao Rui was also talking about this with Cheng Lang: "Mr. Cheng, there have been rumors within the group for the past two days that you returned to China to fight for the family business, saying that you, the 'little' of 'Mr. Cheng' Words are just a brief transition…”

"It is a blessing for the group to have these talents with a keen sense of smell and long-term vision." Cheng Lang commented with a smile.

"Huh—?" Gao Rui's onomatopoeia changed from a declarative tone to a questioning tone. He couldn't figure out whether this "friend" in the mall was laughing, and "conquering the enemy" was also the one who laughed. At this moment, he was praising or ironic. "I mean, do you think it's necessary to catch a typical case?"

"Where did they say something wrong?"

"That's not to say..."

"Then I dare to do it without letting others tell me, isn't it too overbearing?"

Gao Rui nodded, then paused in the middle of nodding—but a person who openly declares that the whole world is going to seize power, and doesn't care if the audience keeps their mouths shut, isn't it more domineering

Facing Cheng Lang's gaze of "you seem to have some opinion to express", he laughed dryly, and hurriedly said something insignificant to ease the atmosphere: "By the way, the waiter in the club just now saw that the young master was trampled on the street. foot."

Cheng Lang smiled faintly: "A woman?"

"yes."

The elevator door moved away with a "ding", and Cheng Ye happened to be limping out of the elevator next door. When he saw Cheng Lang, he was half happy and half surprised: "Second brother, why didn't you tell me when we arrived?"

Cheng Lang stepped out of the elevator and glanced at his feet: "Is the family short of money, or lack of power?"

"Huh? Is our family going bankrupt?"

Gao Rui stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Young master, Xiao Cheng always said that the Cheng family is neither short of money nor lack of status. When you choose a partner, you don't necessarily consider the right family. There are beautiful girls everywhere. You don't have to wrong yourself. Waiting on those girls The eldest lady of a wealthy family."

Cheng Ye pursed his lips: "Second brother, did you see it just now?"

Cheng Lang walked towards the elegant room with a smile, winked back, and asked Gao Rui to give Cheng Ye his birthday present.

Cheng Ye took the gift, and followed closely: "Second brother, that girl is not just a young lady. She was scratched by a movie ticket while watching a movie, and said that she was about to pass out and was going back home. After one night, I said that I have been sleeping with a handkerchief since I was a child. If I don’t have it, I can’t fall asleep. I have to go home to find a handkerchief. Please get back together. If you are not careful, just forget it. The attitude is like 2,580,000... This kind of princess disease, I don't think I will be able to marry in this life... "

"I told you to find a woman who makes you feel comfortable," Cheng Lang glanced at him lightly, "I didn't tell you to slander the woman who made you uncomfortable."

"Oh, oh." Cheng Ye stopped in fright, pulled Gao Rui, and asked Cheng Lang after he was far away, "Gao Tezhu, my brother just returned to China, he is not acclimatized, is he in a bad mood?"

Gao Rui smiled: "Why? It's just that Xiao Cheng always treats women politely, so I don't suggest you to say something wrong about them."

"Then he didn't bring a woman with him today?"

"No."

If everyone didn't bring it, then there would be no shame. Cheng Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Hey, my brother talks about love and love very well. Do you know where he usually 'forages'? Give me a reference."

Gao Rui pondered for a moment: "'There is no shortage of beauty in the world, only the eyes to discover beauty', you also know that Xiao Cheng always seldom associates with celebrities in the circle who are more tempered than popular, but is good at discovering the beauty hidden in the folk, Three hundred and sixty lines, line after line..."

"Get to the point! I just asked, where does he find women after he returns to China?"

Gao Rui smiled apologetically: "Mr. Xiao Cheng has just settled down for a few days, but he hasn't thought about it yet. If he has to talk about a place..." He picked up the tablet he carried with him, looked at Cheng Lang's itinerary after midnight tonight, "Oh , High-speed toll booth?"
