Meeting room.

Shen Hao and Ouyang Xiang had already sat down in the hall, the fragrance of tea curling, and the mist ethereated in the cold winter night. Lu Ning's eyes were still red, and he looked at the young man standing from time to time.

Thick eyebrows and big eyes, very tall, but outstanding in appearance.

"Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, we only learned about Qingyue and Ling Yan today, so we rushed over overnight in a hurry. I'm sorry for the interruption. ”

Ouyang Xiang pursed his lips, his attitude was polite and respectful, and the smile on his face made people can't refuse.

Especially her "Mrs. Huo", which is especially useful to Lu Ning, although she has been married for a while, many noble ladies in Haicheng still look at her with disdain, and few of them regard her as the real Mrs. Huo.

Huo Shaoting's relationship with her was so stiff, and she never recognized her, which affected her status to some extent.

"Mrs. Huo, Qingyue has done a really bad job. Ouyang Xiang got up and held Lu Ning's hand, "I also have a daughter, so I can understand the mood of being a parent." This matter is the fault of our Shen family, this young man, the blood is strong, the Miss Lu family is gentle and beautiful, this kid can't help but cross the line, after all, he is young, and when he has a big belly, the two of them will deal with it quietly. If we had known about this, we would have been responsible. Isn't it just that we have a child, and if we get married, won't it be over? It's rare that these two children are in love, will we still beat the mandarin ducks?"

At this point, I can be regarded as understanding. This Shen family came here to propose marriage, and wanted Shen Qingyue and Lu Nian to marry.

Huo Xiuyuan knew Shen Hao, although he had more contacts with Shen Jun before, but after that incident, he didn't have any contact with the Shen family, and he thought that he didn't get along with each other anymore, but he didn't expect the Shen family to come over to propose marriage at this time.

went around and around, but I didn't expect to still have some contact with the Shen family. If the two families form a family, then it is impossible not to look up and see each other in the future.

He took a sip of tea from his cup, and couldn't make up his mind for a moment. After all, the grievances and estrangements between the two families are here, but at least Shen Hao is not Shen Jun, otherwise there is nothing to talk about.

"Qingyue, you have something to say!" Ouyang Xiang bumped into his son, Shen Qingyue raised his head at this time, walked to Huo Xiuyuan and Lu Ning and knelt down, "Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry, I really like Lu Nian, I hope you can fulfill us." ”

Ouyang Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had talked to him about this matter at home, this kid was stubborn, and he was worried that something would go wrong with him along the way, it seemed that he still knew the severity at the critical moment.

Now they went to the Huo family first to show their attitude, and suddenly changed the passive situation to the active.

"I really like it? I really like it, I really like you, you take her to have an abortion, do you know how much of an impact this has on a girl, if you really cherish her, you won't do it. I think you're just having fun!"

"Auntie, I was just scared at the time, and that's what Nian meant. She insisted on not wanting this child, for fear that she would not be able to bear the responsibility, after all, we are still young......"

"Mrs. Huo. Ouyang Xiang smiled and helped Shen Qingyue up, "The child is young after all, who wouldn't make a mistake? In terms of compensation, your Huo family has the final say, and we won't have any opinions." When it comes to dowry, we ......"

"Is our Huo family short of that money?"

Sister-in-law Fu walked over with Meng Chengxu in her arms, although the old lady was old, she was still not angry and mighty, and her eyes were shrewd to see through the world.

Ouyang Xiang's eyes looked at the young man walking behind, it must be Huo Shaoting. She squinted her eyes and watched his tall and straight body approach, her handsome eyebrows and eyes were secondary, and the aura that had been in the top position for a long time was even worse than Shen Hao.

"This is Old Madam Huo, right?" Ouyang Xiang accompanied the smiling face, "Old Madam Huo, please take a seat, aren't we discussing the marriage of the two families?"

Meng Chengxu glanced at Lu Ning, she really didn't know that this matter was about marriage so soon.

The scene was silent for a moment, and Huo Xiuyuan said: "Mom, the Shen family means to let the two get married." You see?"

"Lu Nian is your daughter in the end, you should decide for yourself. However, you haven't listened to Lu Nian's opinion on this matter, this is one thing; the marriage affair is about the heart, not a random responsibility, this is the second; the relationship between the Shen family and the Huo family, this is the third. After all three points are considered, you can make a decision. ”

Meng Chengxu finished speaking in one breath and looked at Shen Hao: "This must be the current head of the Shen family." You came here today, but have you asked what Old Man Shen means? Our Huo family and the Shen family have not been in contact for decades, and this exchange is about to become a family of relatives, and it feels like a big leap forward. Of course, your Shen family can be indifferent, but we ......"

Ouyang Xiang laughed a few times: "Old Madam Huo, we also know that this matter between the Shen family and the Huo family is ours, not ......."

Her voice was lowered, and she raised again: "But let's talk about things, that matter has nothing to do with our family......! It doesn't make sense to delay two children because of this!"

"You inherit the honor of the Shen family, so you don't have to bear the responsibility of the Shen family?"

"This ...... Mrs. Huo, it is better to settle the grievance, it has been so long since the events of the year, and we are not the parties involved, there is really no need to take this too seriously. If the two of us become in-laws, then it will be a good thing for each other, and the business will be ......."

Meng Chengxu waved his hand: "I don't understand business matters, you can do it yourself anyway." Xiuyuan, when Xiao Nian comes back, ask her what she means first, marriage matters, don't make hasty decisions. Otherwise, it will be your daughter's lifelong happiness. ”

"And you," Meng Chengxu glanced at the thoughtful Lu Ning, "Didn't you cry more aggrieved than anyone else just now, saying that you were going to the Shen family to seek justice, and now that people are in front of you, why don't you have a word?"

Lu Ning's face turned slightly red, thinking of the possibility of marriage between the two families, she was not unmoved. Shen Qingyue is a talent, and the family is rich, and when she finds out that the Shen family is indeed a wealthy family, it is also a good choice to marry her. After all, it was such a big fuss at the beginning, and it was not easy to find the right person for Lu Nian.

"I think it's better to wait for Lu Nian to come back and make a decision. If the two of them really have Lang Youqing's concubine's intentions, we have nothing to disagree with. ”

Meng Chengxu frowned, looked at Huo Shaoting's still indifferent face, and wanted to say something, but heard Ouyang Xiang smile again: "I know that a big family like the Huo family is the most sensible. Isn't it a good thing that we forget all the unpleasantness of the past when this happy event comes?"

From time to time, her gaze swept over the long-standing Huo Shaoting, who was sitting leisurely, and there was a young man sitting opposite him, who looked like the two were of the same age, and they were also handsome, but in comparison, Huo Shaoting's aura was bigger and more sufficient.

"It's not early, I'll go back first if there's nothing to do. Huo Shaoting raised her wrist to look at the time, and when she got up, her eyes swept over Ouyang Xiang, obviously it was just a casual gaze, but the coldness in it made her almost tremble.

She was thinking about the deep meaning of this gaze, when she heard Huo Shaoting's voice sounding faintly: "A man sleeps with a woman, and under normal circumstances, the responsibility is to marry her, of course, there is also a situation, that is, the woman is held responsible, I remember that Lu Nian is not an adult." ”

"......" Ouyang Xiang didn't expect this man to stop talking, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was going to put Shen Qingyue to death. She opened her mouth slightly, and heard Huo Shaoting continue: "On the day of the abortion, the Huo family broke out in a scandal, this matter should be inseparable from Young Master Shen, right? After all, only the two of you know best about such a private matter. Lu Nian definitely doesn't want to be the heroine of the scandal, apart from Young Master Shen, who else has such information, and even the day of the abortion is so accurate?"

Lu Ning's footsteps staggered, originally she always thought that Fu Zhixia did this matter, could it be said?

"If it's okay, I'll go first. ”

After Huo Shaoting finished speaking, he strode out of the living room, and Meng Chengxu also left quickly, leaving only the wave of people just now looking at each other.

Suddenly, Lu Ning suddenly walked up to Shen Jingshu and raised his hand to slap him.

The crisp slap fell, Ouyang Xiang came back to her senses, she looked at the bright red finger marks on her son's face distressedly, lost her mind all of a sudden, and pushed Lu Ning away suddenly, her voice was sharp: "Why are you beating people!"

"Your son has harmed my daughter like this, what's wrong with me slapping him! This is still light! Let me tell you, Lu Nian will not be wronged in vain, and our Huo family will not forget it like this! You just wait to receive the lawyer's letter, just wait for your son to go to prison!"

"Obviously, it was your daughter who seduced my family Qingyue at a young age, but now she is putting a dirty basin on our Shen family's head! A woman takes the initiative, which man can stand it! You want to sue me, okay, you sue, I want to see who dares to want your daughter!"

“......”

“......”

The sound of the dispute gradually disappeared in his ears, Huo Shaoting stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out of the old mansion.

On a winter night in Haicheng, the sparkling colorful neon decorates the streets, and the cars shuttle through the streets and alleys like flowing water.

The car turned a corner and began to drive aimlessly towards the street, and I didn't know where the destination was, and when I stopped, I realized that it was the alley I had walked with Fu Zhixia.

He parked the car, leaned against the window and smoked a cigarette, lit it, squinting at the crowd shuttling through the alley, feeling the excitement.

There are young couples walking by holding arms, the girl buried her face in the man's arm, and said coquettishly: "I'm going to eat that, no matter what, you just want to accompany me today!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you. The man pinched the girl's nose dotingly, hugged her tightly, and smiled and walked towards the barbecue shop.

The crack in his heart was a little bigger, Huo Shaoting took a puff of cigarette, spit out the smoke ring, and listened to the noise in all directions, but felt that the excitement in this world had nothing to do with him after all.

Fireworks in the world, that's not his fireworks.

So, what about his fireworks?

Sucheng Shen family?

No, he found someone to squat there, there was never Fu Zhixia there.

Jincheng Fu family?

No, it's not her home, if so, what did Fu Shuyu come to her for?

Hidden Country?

Nor is it, he did not receive any news.

The world is so big, he can't find such a person? She is deliberately leaving, and she doesn't want him to find it. After so many days, she quickly faded out in her heart, so could there be a more ruthless woman than this?

She didn't even ask him what he thought and decided.

When a cigarette reaches the butt of the cigarette, it burns the fingers and is only a little hot, and I don't feel the pain of suffocation. He took a few steps forward, tossed the cigarette butt into the trash can, and walked on his long legs.

The alley is very long, there are lively shouts on both sides, all kinds of flavors are mixed together and jump into the tip of the nose, Huo Shaoting's footsteps paused in front of a sugar painting stall, on the porcelain white utensils, the old man is drawing a Peppa Pig with a spoon, his movements are skillful, in a moment, Peppa Pig is finished, the little girl on the side claps her hands happily, the old man took out a thin Hancheng person, dipped it in melted sugar, pressed it on Peppa, and handed it to the little girl.

"What is the gentleman going to do?" the old man looked up at him, and said with a smile, "I came with a girl last time, and I was waiting for her, right? ”

Huo Shaoting only felt suffocated in his heart, and then heard the old man laugh and said: "Otherwise, how about I draw a picture of her for you?" The girl likes novelty things, you give it to her, and keep her happy." ”

"Good. ”

The position of his throat was astringent, and he watched the old man's spoon keep moving, and soon the sugar painting of a round-faced long-haired girl was in his hands.

As if a smiling face had opened in front of him, he continued to walk forward, and when he came to the river, the cold wind blew, and there was a biting chill. With the faint light, he looked at the sugar painting in his hand, put it to his lips, and took a gentle bite, and heard a crisp clatter.

If he could, he would want to bite her now, too, and bite hard.

Thinking about it, he took another big bite, and he didn't feel any better.

The surface of the river is sparkling and rippling, this river is the Xiangjiang River that runs through the entire Haicheng, and the car also drove into this river at the beginning.

"Shao Ting. ”

An elongated shadow appeared in front of him, and when he turned his head slowly, he saw Chen Jinglan's somewhat serious face.

The Maybach was seen by Bo Jing first, she insisted on getting out of the car, and then saw Huo Shaoting and followed him all the way.

The two of them stood as long as he sat by the river.

"Aunt Lan, do you think Shao Ting doesn't like me?" Not far away, Bo Jing asked in a low voice, with sadness in her beautiful eyes.

Chen Jinglan clapped her hand: "How could it be?" Shao Ting, this kid has never understood how to express it, you know." Ajing, you don't have to worry about this with him. ”

"It's not for me. Bo Jing's eyes were still looking at the man's back, and he shook his head, "I think I can't get into his heart all the time." You don't know, except for business, he usually doesn't talk to me, and when I go to the bay villa, I have to look not only at his face, but also at the face of the next person. ”

"There is such a thing?" Chen Jinglan was shocked, "Ah Jing, if you are wronged, you have to tell Aunt Lan, Bai Ma ...... her"

"It has nothing to do with Bai Ma, if he attaches enough importance to me, how dare Bai Ma despise me?" Bo Jing sniffed and raised her eyes, "Aunt Lan, you know." For this marriage, the family does not particularly agree. You can help me ask what he means, and if you can, I will get married tomorrow in the spring. ”

With that, she walked over to the red Maserati in front of her, and after a few moments, the car turned right and drove forward.

Chen Jinglan felt a little headache, she originally thought that it was a foolproof opportunity, but now she also saw something wrong.

"How can you sit here alone with such a strong wind? Work or rest, you have rarely wasted your time like this before. ”

Chen Jinglan walked a few steps forward, and when she arrived in front of him, she couldn't help frowning when she saw the sugar painting he was holding in her hand: "What is this?"

"I've been telling you since I was a kid that these roadside stalls are unhygienic and that you never eat them. What's wrong with you now, the more you live, the more you go back? If you are seen by the media, you will have to chase the wind again!"

"What are you chasing after the wind?" Huo Shaoting took a bite of the candy painting, and looked at the sparkling river with his eyes, "This time, isn't it enough for them to catch the wind and catch the shadows?"

"......" Chen Jinglan's heart sank when she heard this, she took a step forward and looked at the man's angular face under the faint light, "What do you mean by this! You still think about Fu Zhixia? Leave everything aside, her surname is Shen! Her surname is Shen Jun's daughter, don't you think of your mother when you look at her? If it weren't for Shen Jun, your mother would still be alive and well!"

Her eyes burst into tears with excitement, as long as she thought of Bai Huanting, Chen Jinglan was out of control. She took a deep breath, and before she could speak, she heard Huo Shaoting's voice faintly ringing: "Even if her surname is Shen, this matter has nothing to do with her." She left the Shen family since she was a child, and she only took this surname......"

"Smack!" A slap fell loudly on Huo Shaoting's handsome face, his face was beaten to the side, Huo Shaoting's tongue was against his cheeks: "What I said is the truth, one yard is one yard, and my mother's death can't be attributed to Fu Zhixia." ”

"Even if that's the case, I won't allow her to enter the door of the Huo family!"

"But she's already in. My mother told me before she died that I wanted to be an upright man and that I had to be honest with my wife, and that I couldn't go against her wishes. ”

Chen Jinglan was so angry that her breathing was out of rhythm, she just stared at Huo Shaoting angrily, and the river breeze blew, but it didn't make her reason clearer. In the suffocating silence, Huo Shaoting's mobile phone screen lit up, he took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and the photos on the screen made his whole person stunned, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
