I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see Luo Xiangdong's phone call, so I always held my phone in my hand when we were at the KTV. Or put it on the table.
At about 9:40 in the evening, the mobile phone screen suddenly lit up. Luo Xiangdong called, and I answered the call almost instantly, then got up and walked out.
"east."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Are you still playing outside?"
I responded, and then said, "Why did you just call me now?" I've been waiting since seven o'clock in the evening.
Luo Xiangdong said: "There is a banquet tonight. I haven't got around to it yet. I'll just run to the bathroom and give you a drink."
I asked: "It's not over yet at this late hour?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I have to tell you that I can't go back these two days because I have something going on here. The earliest I can go back is the day after tomorrow."
"Isn't the company's business finished yet?"
"There are both public and private. My dad has a friend here who wants to see it. I also have to stay for a day."
Luo Xiangdong's voice was full of fatigue, and I didn't want to pester him to ask when he would come, so I said back to him: "It's okay, you are busy with your business, don't worry. If you are too busy, you don't have to come over. It's nothing big anyway." Son."
Luo Xiangdong smiled lightly and said, "Test me?"
I said, "No. Really."
Luo Xiangdong said: "When I'm not with you, you just play around and don't go home so late. Do I have to call my future parents-in-law and ask them to take you home?"
His casual words touched my heart, and I immediately raised the corners of my lips and said with a smile: "Who are your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Don't just go down the steps, it's not yet."
Luo Xiangdong smiled and said: "You have followed me, how can your parents marry you to someone else?"
I said, "That's not necessarily the case. Judging from your performance, it's not like I have to rely on you."
Luo Xiangdong threatened me across thousands of mountains and rivers: "You have become more capable, right? Believe it or not, I will go back and deal with you?"
I said provocatively: "Let's wait until you come back."
Luo Xiangdong took some time out of his busy schedule to make a phone call to me. He had to go back soon after the call. I hung up the phone and felt at ease. I no longer had to keep staring at my phone waiting for his call.
A group of people sang and drank until midnight. My mother called me twice. Everyone saw that the time was almost up, and then they started to disperse.
When I got home, my mother had already slept, squinted her eyes and got up in pajamas, and asked me: "Have you contacted Xiangdong tonight?"
I nodded: "I called him. He has to stay in Canada for an extra day or two before he can come over."
My mother has always been worried about the relationship between Luo Xiangdong and me, so she asks every day.
Hearing this, she also breathed a sigh of relief and went back to sleep.
I set the alarm clock for ten o'clock the next morning, thinking that I would pack up and visit Zhang Danqing's parents when I woke up. I had to get up tomorrow to deal with this matter first, otherwise my mother would not be able to sleep well tonight.
I have been going out to socialize for the past two days, which is not as relaxed as when I was working in Night City. After taking a shower at night, I fell asleep. The next day I was woken up by the ringing of my cell phone. I thought it was the alarm clock, but it turned out to be Li Runzhu's call.
I said in a daze: "Hey, Runzhu..."
Li Runzhu's voice was very low and he said, "You haven't woken up yet?"
I said 'hmm', "What's wrong?"
Li Runzhu didn't answer but asked: "Are your parents around?"
I am a sensitive person, so as soon as I heard this, half of my sleepiness disappeared, and I replied to her: "No, I am in my own room, what happened?"
Li Runzhu said: "Zijin, I'm telling you, you have to hold on. Don't cry or shout. Let's find out what's going on."
I urged her: "Hurry up, what's wrong?"
Li Runzhu said: "I just read the news online, and the headline said that Luo Xiangdong has an unofficial fiancée..."
There was a bang in my head, and I even had slight tinnitus in my ears.
With a frown on my face, I grabbed my phone, turned over and sat up, and said in a low voice: "Impossible!"
Li Runzhu said in a deep voice: "I was shocked when I saw it just now. Go online and look at the headlines on the homepage."
I was so anxious that I quickly hung up the phone, lifted the quilt, stepped out of bed, and opened the notebook on the table.
It only took half a minute to boot up, but I couldn't wait any longer and watched Tencent videos on my phone. Sure enough, the headline of today's video is: Luo Rong's 'Business Marriage', is it a strong alliance or a perfect match
I sat on a wooden chair, and my fingers trembled when I clicked on the video.
To me, a fifteen-second commercial feels like half an hour has passed. Finally, the video started to play officially. It only lasted for more than a minute. It said that Luo's and Senming Group were cooperating to develop Canadian crude oil. The investment of the two companies amounted to hundreds of billions. It would become the largest private enterprise commercial investment in 2016 besides state investment.
The video showed some screenshots of the press conference held by Luo Rong and his family. I saw Luo Zhenye and Rong Shizhang. Then the screen flashed, and the picture changed to a scene of Luo Xiangdong talking and laughing with a young woman holding wine glasses. The reporter introduced that this was Sun Rongxin, the eldest son of the Rong family and Rong Shizhang's only daughter.
Especially that sentence. According to reliable sources, the Luo family has recognized Rong Xin as their default daughter-in-law and Luo Xiangdong's future fiancée.
Looking at the pictures on his phone, Luo Xiangdong and Rong Xin were drinking or joking. The camera took a picture of him from the side, and the curve of the corners of his lips was very natural. He was not being polite or polite, but he was really smiling from the bottom of his heart.
After the video ended, I immediately clicked on the home page of my computer. The latest news on the headlines was the business marriage between Luo Rong and his family. It's just that the word marriage is in quotation marks.
Clicking in, the first picture is of Luo Zhenye and Rong Shizhang at the press conference, who have not been seen for a long time. The following paragraph talks about the status of the Rong family in Canada. Senming Group has focused on overseas development in recent years, especially Canadian crude oil, which ranks second in the world after Saudi Arabia. Senming Group's crude oil development in Canada has a history of nearly ten years. It can be said that it is deeply rooted. Now it suddenly jointly develops with the Luo family. Although the Luo family also contributed a large amount of money, in the eyes of professionals, they feel that the Luo family has taken advantage of it. .
And when we get to the bottom of it, why the Rong family is willing to choose the Luo family to get a share of the pie, the next step is the gossip section. According to reporters, Luo Zhenye personally admitted that Rong Xin was the default daughter-in-law of the Luo family. The Luo family had two sons in total. The eldest son, Luo Xiangyu, had already been married. Now the only unmarried one was Luo Xiangdong. Rong Xin was naturally the daughter-in-law chosen by Luo Zhenye for Luo Xiangdong.
I stared at the computer without blinking. Because my fingers were a little shaky, the progress bar kept going up and down when dragging it, which made me even more anxious.
The news on the Internet is more comprehensive than that on the mobile phone. I also saw a frontal photo of Luo Xiangdong and Rong Xin. Rong Xin held Luo Xiangdong's arm, looking naturally affectionate, and Luo Xiangdong smiled calmly in the camera, without any intention of shying away from it.
I instantly became angry. Even though I still believed deep down in my heart that Luo Xiangdong would not do this, I had to call him and find out.
I picked up the phone and called Luo Xiangdong, but what came on the phone was that the phone was turned off.
Now I was completely panicked. I couldn't contact Luo Xiangdong, and I didn't even have anyone to get angry at. The grievance in my heart suddenly welled up, and tears had already reached my eyes, but I gritted my teeth and held it back. Firstly, I didn’t want to wake up my parents, and secondly, I didn’t want to doubt Luo Xiangdong until the matter was clarified.
Just as I was sitting in front of the computer and continuing to check the news, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang. I was startled. I thought it was Luo Xiangdong calling, but when I lowered my head, I saw it was Pan Siyu.
After hesitating for a few seconds, I suppressed my emotions and finally answered: "Hello."
Pan Siyu and Li Runzhu have different personalities. When she came up, she said angrily: "Zijin, have you seen the news?"
I tried to stay calm: "Look, Runzhu called me."
Pan Siyu asked: "What's going on?"
I didn't say that Luo Xiangdong turned off his phone, I just said bravely: "It's nothing. Reporters also like to make excuses."
Pan Siyu asked: "Did you call Luo Xiangdong? What did he tell you?"
I was also petty, and my throat suddenly became choked. One hand was holding the mobile phone, the other hand was clenched into a fist, and his eyes were staring at the computer screen. The picture of Luo Xiangdong and Rong Xin was fixed on the screen.
I was so sour that I couldn't speak. After a few seconds, I said, "Don't make any noise for now. We'll talk about it later when Xiangdong comes back."
Pan Siyu said: "What am I saying? This matter can't be concealed. I called you because I was afraid that you would get upset after seeing it. You should contact Luo Xiangdong quickly and ask what's going on."
Don’t I want to contact Luo Xiangdong? What can I do if he shuts down his phone
Pan Siyu also sensed something strange about me and hurried away without saying a word. I called Luo Xiangdong again, but he still turned off his phone. For someone like me who has shallow tears and poor mental endurance, I still couldn't help but shed tears of grievance.
I'm not afraid of quarrels or difficulties. I'm just afraid that when I'm extremely frightened, I won't be able to find him at all, not even to hear his voice.
Within half an hour, my phone kept ringing with calls from friends. Later, I simply stopped answering, until Liang Zixun sent me a text message asking me: Sister, I saw on the Internet that Luo Xiangdong has a fiancée. What's going on? What does he mean
Tears were falling down. I was getting more and more afraid of something. I turned off the screen and didn't dare to look at it anymore. But after a few minutes, I still gave him a reply: Don't tell your family yet.
Liang Zixun quickly said: I know. Sister, are you okay
good? I can't get better.
For half an hour, I called Luo Xiangdong more than a dozen times, but he kept turning off his phone. I sent him a text message asking him what was going on and asking him to get back to me as soon as possible.
At about 10:40, my mother woke up and pushed open the door of my room. Fortunately, my back was to her.
She thought I wasn't awake yet and asked me to get up.
I responded, and she turned around and went to the bathroom, leaving me hiding under the quilt, gritting my teeth, not even daring to cry.
