Chapter 142: A Man's Favor and a Man's Love
142
On the winter night of Haicheng, the stars are exceptionally bright in the quiet night sky, the air is filled with cold wind, but the streets are still full of traffic, and the car lights are embellished with a series of lights, reflecting the colorful neon around, which is still a lively scene at night.
The marble round table is so bright that it can reflect the shadow of a person, the layers of crystal chandeliers shine with luxurious colors, and the party once reached a small climax.
Han Cheng came to talk about business with a handsome long-legged Oba named Li Minghe, with a pair of peach blossom eyes full of electricity, and the few little girls brought by Gu Zhuoxi were already embarrassed by the electricity and blushed frequently.
"Miss Fu, you speak Korean so well, our cooperation will be very pleasant. ”
Li Minghe picked up the wine glass, and Fu Zhixia was picking up the boiled water in front of him, and he was removed by his slender fingers.
"Miss Fu, this is the first time I toast you, in our Hancheng, I toast, you use boiled water, this is a bit rude. I believe that in your China, the wine culture is also like this. ”
He snapped his fingers at the waiter, and the waiter willingly took an empty goblet, he poured the red wine into one-third of the glass, shook it and handed it to Fu Zhixia: "Miss Fu, please." ”
Gu Zhuoxi got up and took the cup in front of Fu Zhixia, and shook it at Li Minghe: "I'll drink it for her." ”
The translator next to Li Minghe immediately conveyed this sentence in place, Li Minghe narrowed his peach blossom eyes, and smiled at Fu Zhixia: "Miss Fu, this translator, has a lot of face. Gu Shaodu personally substituted wine for you, but I, as a person, generally don't like to take back the wine that I toast. This glass of wine is for you, that is for you, and Gu Shao's cup, I will give it another salute. ”
"There wasn't much wine in the glass. If you can't even toast such a small glass of wine, then the cooperation we just talked about happily may also come to naught. ”
"Because of my health, I can only drink this one. Thank you Mr. Lee. ”
Fu Zhixia picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips when he was covered by his other hand. The man's faint smell of cold wood was beside him, and his cold voice seemed to be wrapped in ice and snow: "She can't drink." ”
"Mr. Huo. Li Minghe looked at Fu Zhixia and then at Huo Shaoting, and was a little surprised by their relationship.
"I drank it for her. ”
Li Minghe reacted suddenly, hurriedly took the wine glass in Huo Shaoting's hand, and said with a smile: "No, no, how dare you bother Mr. Huo to drink on behalf of him?" I also hope that Huo's can give us more opportunities in the future, and we look forward to cooperating with Huo's. ”
"Miss Fu, please sit down, if you feel unwell, don't drink. ”
Li Minghe was in a cold sweat, originally went to Haicheng this time, and more importantly, he wanted to visit Huo Shaoting and establish a cooperative relationship with the Huo family. He never thought that behind this little translator was Huo Shaoting.
So how can she help Gu Zhuoxi do things?
"If it's all right, I'll take her first. ”
Huo Shaoting propped himself on the edge of the table with one hand, and at a glance it seemed that he was hugging Fu Zhixia, the man's eyes swept over Gu Zhuoxi lightly, and then looked at Li Minghe and said in a deep voice: "If you want to cooperate with the Huo family, do you have to do your homework in advance?" In my opinion, Ming Qi's sincerity is not enough. ”
“......”
Li Minghe was a little anxious to defend, and the man's eyes went towards Gu Zhuo's hope again, the light in those eyes was extremely oppressive and threatening, cold as frost and angry as open fire.
He was holding Fu Zhixia's hand, and the woman gently broke free and said softly, "The translation on my side has not been completed yet." ”
He glanced at her, turned and walked out.
The door was still ajar, and the waiter didn't know if it had hit it when he brought the osmanthus perch, but he heard a "pop", and the plate suddenly fell to the ground, and the waitress apologized in panic, and the man had walked away like the wind.
"Miss Fu, I don't know if you and Mr. Huo ...... What's the relationship?"
When Li Minghe spoke to her again, he was already full of respect, and all the banter in the starry peach blossom eyes had been removed, and there was a slight suspicion of flattery.
"Mr. Li, today we are talking about cooperation with Gu's. What we just talked about ......"
"I know, I know. Li Minghyuk waved his hand, "The cooperation with the Gu family can be signed immediately." Then with the Huo family, can you please ask Miss Fu to be a leader?"
"Huo's business, I can't be the master. However, I believe that if Ming Qi cooperates happily with Gu, he will definitely be able to attract Huo's attention. If a company like Huo's wants to cooperate, it must not be a relationship, but strength. ”
"That's, that's. Li Minghe nodded, took a small wine glass and poured a glass of white wine, and said with a smile, "Miss Fu, I will give you another glass, I will drink it, you can boil water at will." ”
Fu Zhixia took a sip of boiling water, and heard him say: "There is basically no problem with cooperation, Miss Fu, I think Mr. Huo should have something waiting for you, you can leave first." ”
"Of course I'm going back with everyone. ”
"......" Li Minghe remembered Huo Shaoting's cold face just now, guessing that their might be a complicated triangular relationship, and couldn't help but support his forehead.
Huo Shaoting returned to the private room again, and his whole breath was a degree colder. Wen Xianchu, who found out the relationship between the eighteenth generation of his ancestors and sat with Huo Shaoting, felt that cold sweat had begun to break out in his palms.
originally thought that Wen Lan could achieve something, but this idiot angered Huo Shaoting, he made an appointment with Huo Shaoting for this dinner through many layers of relationships, and he was careful everywhere, for fear that a word would be wrong and annoy this great god.
"Mr. Huo, the ...... we mentioned just now"
"Mr. Wen, I have already seen your plan, the current building materials supplier Huo's is considering two, in the end who to choose is not my final say, but also depends on the meaning of the board of directors. ”
Huo Shaoting lit a cigarette as he spoke, and the blue-white smoke rose in a curling curl, and Wen Xianchu had already heard the meaning of the rejection in his words, which was also the result he expected. He took a sip of the boiled water in front of him, and smiled cautiously: "Mr. Huo, the little girl Wen Lan ......"
Huo Shaoting's gaze looked over, and the coldness made him shudder, Wen Lan's reckless behavior made her pay a heavy price, and no one was willing to take on all the projects she handled, this situation has lasted for a long time. She is young after all, if this road is blocked by Huo Shaoting forever, I am afraid that she will not be able to get out in this life.
It's okay to delay yourself, and now it's obviously delaying Wen's.
"Wen Lan, this child, has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child, and I know that she has done a lot of wrong things. These days, she has also fallen a lot, and she regrets what she has done, can Mr. Huo let her go for the sake of her sincerity to you? After all, she is young and ignorant. ”
The blue-white smoke rose, blurring the man's handsome eyebrows, Wen Xianchu felt that his old face that was smiling with him had stiffened, and only then did he hear the man opposite say lightly: "I will consider it." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Huo. Wen Xianchu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Huo Shaoting could open this mouth, at least it was a hope.
Seeing Huo Shaoting this time, he took a lot of effort, and finally tossed to the relationship between Huo Shaoting's grandmother Chen Jinglan, and Mrs. Bai helped him speak, so he had such a chance to meet.
For the sake of Old Lady Bai's face, Huo Shaoting can let go of this mouth, it is rumored that Chen Jinglan is Huo Shaoting's closest person, and this is indeed the case.
He lowered his head again and took a sip of boiling water, and found that the door of the private room was ajar, and the man's hand flipped the lid of the lighter from time to time, but his eyes drifted out of the door from time to time.
There was a lively sound from the other side, like a group of people leaving, and he saw Huo Shaoting's eyes looking at him sharply, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he also stood up.
"Mr. Wen, something is missing. ”
He put down a sentence indifferently, the person had already gotten up, Wen Xianchu got up with a smile, and waited for his person to walk a few steps away, then wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
The wind in front of the hall was blowing very cold, and it was winter, and the wind blew all the faces. Watching Li Minghe and his party leave, Gu Zhuoxi turned his head to look at Fu Zhixia and said sincerely: "Thank you." ”
"It's just a gesture, and the seniors are too outward. ”
Gu Zhuoxi saw that her original goose egg face had changed into a standard melon seed face, and her eyes were bigger in comparison, and the girl in her memory still couldn't belong to him, and she didn't know if it was a creation or not.
"Your identity is different now, and I asked the young grandmother of the Huo family to come out as a translator, but I didn't think it through. ”
Sometimes it's not that I want to give up, but when I see the eyes of the girl in front of me looking at Huo Shaoting, I still have to admit that he lost to Huo Shaoting.
If Huo Shaoting can treat her like a jewel, then his girl can be regarded as a lucky girl, which makes the women of the entire Haicheng envious and jealous.
"It's not too early, I'll send you ......"
"Don't bother to take care of less. ”
A cold and hard voice came from behind him, and the man in the black slim suit didn't know when he was standing behind them, his gaze bypassed Gu Zhuoxi and fell on her face, and he strode over and held her hand.
"Why are your hands so cold? ”
Huo Shaoting twisted his eyebrows, reached out and took off his suit jacket and draped it on the woman, "My injuries haven't healed yet, how is my body, do you have any points in my heart?"
"I came here with Zhixia today, because the translator had something to do temporarily, and I couldn't think of others for a while......"
"The senior is too polite. In the past, you took care of me at school, so this little thing was not a problem at all, and my body was not so expensive. Fu Zhixia interrupted Gu Zhuoxi's words and smiled, "I also want to thank my senior for taking me out to breathe, I feel like my whole person is going to be rancid after being in the hospital for so long." ”
"Mr. Huo, take a step to speak. ”
Gu Zhuoxi walked to the side, Huo Shaoting looked at Fu Zhixia's pale face, tightened the suit on her body, and also walked over.
"Mr. Huo," Gu Zhuoxi looked at the bright neon in the distance, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in his eyes, "In order to know Xia, you put pressure on me in many ways, but what really made me quit was not because you Huo Shaoting was powerful and knew how to use it, but because when I saw you, the brilliance burst out from my eyes." For a long time, I didn't want to admit this fact, and I was only one step away from Zhixia. ”
He wanted to take out a cigarette to smoke, but found that he did not have the habit of carrying a cigarette, and inserted his free hand into his trouser pocket, he continued: "On the day of Zhixia's accident at the Fu family banquet, I was nervously preparing to confess. If it weren't for that time, Zhixia and you wouldn't have met at all, and my confession, she might or may not agree, if not, I still have a lot of time waiting for her to agree. But who knows, you will make your marriage contract public with her. ”
"When I met her in France, I felt that she had changed, and when she looked at you, her eyes were different from when she looked at me. You may not know that Eiffel's necklace, I also prepared for her. Huo Shaoting, today's matter is that I owe it to me, I hope you don't get angry with Zhixia because of this. If you're nice to her, I'll always be in the corner. ”
The cold wind blew, Fu Zhixia felt a little headache, she looked at the two of them standing not far away, and she didn't know what they were talking about, Gu Zhuoxi looked at her, beckoned and left.
Huo Shaoting turned his head and glanced at him, then strode over, his tall and straight body stretched out in the light, obviously it was a very close distance, but suddenly it felt very far away, even in a trance.
Thinking about the ups and downs of this memory, sometimes it feels so unreal that it feels like a dream.
Everything she has experienced, from the Fu family's wine banquet, to her amnesia, to being treated coldly, to the thousands of favors in everyone's eyes, is like a dream.
"I'm the one who should be angry, but now it looks like you're angry. The man tugged at her shirt and looked at her pale face, feeling distressed after all, "Is your body too cold to resist the cold wind, or can you afford to drink, huh?"
Fu Zhixia looked at his deep eyes, they were very beautiful eyes, they looked unfathomable, obviously when she looked at him, she also felt that he was sincere and doting, but why, he wanted to hide her?
"I grew up in the Fu family since I was a child, followed Yang Meiling, and did all the work, not a real daughter, so noble. After being hospitalized for so long, my health is almost better. If you don't want me to work...... Can I walk around in the future?"
She looked at him with clear eyes, and her heart became soft in an instant, just walked through the private room, and saw that she was actually sitting there, someone was advising her to drink, and the moment she was about to drink, it was impossible not to be angry.
The moment he saw Gu Zhuoxi, he was not only angry, but angry.
He took her hand out, and the moment she broke away from her, anger was no longer enough to describe his feelings.
Since her car accident, he has been insomnia for nearly half a month, and every time he wakes up, he is in a cold sweat, and his dream is fixed on her bloody face.
He wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand to protect her, but he forgot that she was originally a living girl and couldn't stand such a life.
The drooping eyes were the woman's slender and thick eyelashes, and he couldn't help but bow his head and kiss him: "What stupid things are you saying, you can go wherever you want, when will your freedom be imprisoned?"
"Can you go anywhere?"
"Of course. Huo Shaoting scratched her nose, and the gloomy mood just now was swept away, "When I arrange the work, I will accompany you around." ”
"Waiting for you, it's the Year of the Monkey, when Cen Duo is free, I'll just let her accompany me. ”
"Good. The man hugged the woman's waist tightly and was about to walk forward, but Fu Zhixia stopped and pulled his sleeve, "It's still early, I want to walk around." ”
Huo Shaoting sighed lowly, it seemed that she had been suffocated by staying at home during this time, he touched her cold hand and clenched it: "Let's go." ”
As Christmas approaches, the streets are lit up with colorful lights, and the city is more lively at night thanks to the reappearance of street stalls. There are steaming ones, dazzling ones, fragrant ones, and the smell of fireworks in the world shuttles through the streets and alleys.
"Once unfaithful, a hundred times not used. The last thing I can tolerate is cheating, so let's break up!"
Not far away, a short-haired girl was smashing a stuffed bear in her hand at a young boy: "I won't trust you anymore!"
The girl ran fast, the boy chased faster, and soon the two men disappeared from sight.
"Will you lie to me?" Fu Zhixia suddenly paused and looked up at him.
Huo Shaoting watched her childish movements, and couldn't help rubbing her hair: "No." ”
Fu Zhixia's fingers curled up and stared at his smiling black eyes: "Huo Shaoting, I'm serious." I've been very spinning since I was a child, not as emotional as other girls, and my heart is not very soft. I can't accept deception. ”
Huo Shaoting looked at her with heavy eyes, the smile in his eyes gradually faded, and he was also serious and serious. He reached out and pinned her blowled hair behind her ear, his voice magnetic and bewitching, "Okay, I see." ”
Fu Zhixia's eyes were inexplicably red, she suppressed the emotions in her heart, and said casually: "By the way, last time you said that you would help me check on Dusk Yan, how did you find out?
"It's not that there is no progress, maybe this thing is like that. He still patiently pinned the hair on his right side, which was constantly blown by the wind, and carefully pinned it behind his ear, "Don't worry, according to Su Duyan's performance in prison, there is a great chance of commutation." ”
Fu Zhixia pinched her fingers, pinching them a little tightly, and the man hugged her body and walked forward slowly.
There was a steamy wind blowing by the river, and it felt very cold, and the cold wind blew more or less sobering people's brains, otherwise, she wanted to ask a fierce question.
But this person is Huo Shaoting, if he deliberately deceives, what is the use of her questioning? She can't be sure what kind of existence Shen Zihan is in this matter, if Huo Shaoting really wants to protect her, then how will it help her to be so reckless?
People's hearts, after all, cannot be measured by superficiality.
She had never envied the precious canary in the cage, but now, it was as if she had become a canary herself. That cage may not even be love, a man's favor is very different from a man's love.
As her mind roamed, she heard the sound of a black suit vibrating. She wanted to pull out her phone, but the big hand was a little faster than hers, and the moment the phone lit up, she clearly saw the name displayed on it.
