Chapter 90: Untitled
The reunion of college classmates is long overdue.
At that time, Chen Xian received a call from Liang Shu, and she said that she was lost.
The deputy squad leader is a tall boy, he saw Chen Xian answer the phone, took his coat and was about to go out, he hurriedly walked through the sea of people and pressed Chen Xian's shoulder, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xian raised the mobile phone in his hand, "Ah Shu has arrived, I'll pick her up." β
The squad leader smiled, "Where is she?"
"At the door. β
A woman next to her heard it, looked back at them, and sighed twice, "Just ask the driver to drive in, the door is not close to our building," After speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled again, "Oh forgot, her family background is not good, let alone the driver in the past few years, I guess I don't even have a car." β
Hearing this, Chen Xian's brows furrowed, and her cold gaze shot towards the woman.
Chen Xian has a good memory, this is a roommate in the dormitory next door, named Xu Shuang, his family is in the building materials business, and he is barely a nouveau riche.
Xu Shuang's voice was not small, at least a dozen people around them could hear it.
Chen Xian narrowed her eyes and squeezed her phone quietly, in this case she was thinking about whether to let Liang Shu not come.
At this time, the squad leader came, she played a round field, and was busy holding Chen Xian's hand, "I heard that Liang Shu is here, at the door, I'll find someone to pick her up......"
Chen Xian grabbed the female squad leader's arm, "I'll go." β
The deputy squad leader followed out without thinking about it at this time, and in the corridor, the night outside was eye-catching, and this was the autumn scenic area of Dongcheng Yanfu, and the fiery red maple leaves dotted most of the area.
"Chen Xian, I'll go with you. β
Chen Xian looked at the artificial lake not far away, there is a small island in the middle of the lake, there is a small courtyard on the island, the scenery on the island is excellent, surrounded by water on three sides, warm in winter and cool in summer.
It is said to be the best place in Dongcheng Yanfu.
But it is only open to the boss Gu Hansheng, without exception.
Xinyao and Zhizhen have few business dealings, although they have been with Lu Jinsheng for two years, she has never met Gu Hansheng.
Chen Xian had only met Gu Hansheng a few times on certain specific occasions.
He is a man who is starry everywhere he goes.
Chen Xian thought about it, and suddenly pulled her lips and smiled, she looked down at her hands, remembering the scene just now, she turned to the deputy class leader and said, "Has the class reunion that I said good has changed?"
The deputy class leader scratched his head and said apologetically, "Some students are more excited, but everyone is an adult, so they won't ......."
Chen Xian didn't say anything, and when she walked to the staircase, she said lightly, "Stay, I'll pick her up." β
β¦β¦
Liang Shu's impression of Dongcheng Banquet Mansion is zero.
When I went out this evening, when I went out in the cool air, the housekeeper Qu Qian advised: "Madam, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is said in the news that there are many people everywhere in Yucheng tonight, you must not stay outside for a long time, you must come back early." β
She didn't go out until after seven o'clock, and the driver was still Xiao Chen.
The road was congested and delayed a lot of time.
It was close to half past eight in the evening when he arrived at Dongcheng Banquet Mansion, and Liang Shu asked Xiao Chen to stop at the door, of course Xiao Chen knew that this was the property of Zhizhen Group, so he proposed to send Liang Shu in, but Liang Shu refused.
Xiao Chen couldn't do it, got out of the car and opened the car door for Liang Shu, and said respectfully, "Madam, call me when you're done, I'll come to pick you up." β
Liang Shu nodded.
As for why you get lost?
Purely because of the landscape structure of the area facing the entrance of Dongcheng Yanfu, under the heavy snow, the reflection of snow white at night, the onset of night blindness, even if she walked out of the snow area by feeling, her eyesight could not be restored immediately.
When Chen Xian found her, Liang Shu was resting on a bench.
Chen Xian drove the car and stopped in front of Liang Shu, Liang Shu opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the engine, just as Chen Xian lowered the window to greet her.
In fact, Liang Shu's eyesight hadn't recovered too much, so she shouted over there: "Chen Xian?"
"Ah Shu, get in the car!"
She came over to open the car door, but she didn't want to stumble under her feet, and almost fell on the car door, Chen Xian's eyes flashed slightly, and just wanted to get out of the car, she heard Liang Shu say, "It's okay, I stepped on the air." β
Liang Shu sat in the car and asked her, "When will it be over?"
Chen Xian glanced at her sideways, pursed his lips, and then said, "Actually, you can choose not to come." β
"It's different now, and besides, the class president is right, it's okay to be absent from the degree awarding and graduation ceremonies, class reunions, and take a look. β
And after Chen Xian left, someone shifted the topic to her:
"Chen Xian's family conditions are not good, but you see, except for the classmates in our class who went home to inherit the family property, she Chen Xian is the best, why is this?"
"I heard that she is now Lu Jinsheng's assistant of Xinyao Group, isn't this a step to the sky. β
"Yes, it's only been three years since she graduated, why can she sit in such a high position?"
The deputy squad leader came in at this time, glanced at these people, and said, "Don't guess about the shadowless things, Chen Xian worked so hard when he was in college, and his academic performance was good, but there are only two of us in our major, and it is okay to have great achievements." β
Xu Shuang walked over with a smile with champagne, and his tone was a little sour, "Deputy class, what's the matter? Don't you want everyone to be curious? Look at Chen Xian, what kind of car she came to drive today...... She's a white-collar worker, tell me, how can she buy a car for two or three million on her own in just three years?"
The deputy squad leader was a little unaccustomed to their sour tone, but he was blocked by Xu Shuang and had no way to reply.
There was a woman next to him who chimed in, "Deputy class, Xu Shuang's words are not an exaggeration at all, saying that Chen Xian has been promoted in three years, I heard that she was insured and went to graduate school for a year, strictly speaking, her work experience is only two years......"
"You told me two years, how did she, a person with no background and no backing, get to this point?"
Someone answered, "What's not for sale?"
These people only dared to make such nonsense because Chen Xian was not here now.
When Chen Xian and Liang Shu came, the topic here had already changed wave after wave.
The private room is large, occupying half of the floor, and has become a small banquet hall.
There are many areas, chess and card areas, game areas, and pure drinking and singing.
At that time, the atmosphere was barely harmonious, classmates did not see each other for a few years, some inherited the family background and started business, some changed careers, and some got married and had children prematurely.
For example, the roommate in the same dormitory as Liang Shu and Chen Xian, Yue Ning.
When Liang Shu came, although she was low-key, everyone's eyes still couldn't help but look at her.
How to say, that amazing face alone is enough to make everyone's eyes on her.
Tonight's class reunion, at worst, is also a comparison meeting.
Everyone is dressed in the same way, with girls wearing elaborate dresses and skirts, and boys wearing suits that are half businessmen, and half of which are completely different from suits.
There is no doubt that the first half is mostly just over from work, and the second half is mostly rich second ancestors, rich second generations.
And Liang Shu's outfit tonight is too out of place for everyone.
She was wearing the most ordinary black coat, with canvas shoes under her feet, and her hair was tied up haphazardly, slightly messy.
On the contrary, even this outfit is more eye-catching than any of the ladies present.
Yes, any one.
She just stood quietly at the door, behind her was the warm halo emitted by the palace lamp in the corridor, blurring the lines of her entire figure.
Time has left traces on everyone's faces, but only it seems to have missed the coolness.
She walked in calmly, and the deputy squad leader stepped forward in time to lead her to the card seat, Liang Shu nodded at everyone, and found a place where there were not many people to sit down.
At this time, everyone is almost here.
Suddenly, someone was talking with a microphone on the stage under the big screen, which attracted the attention of many people, and temporarily slowed down everyone's attention from freezing Liang.
Liang Shu raised her eyes and looked, there was a man on the stage who was still handsome and holding a floor-standing microphone to speak, she reacted for a moment, and couldn't remember what this person's name was.
He coughed lightly twice, and his eyes glanced down a few times, "Students, classmates, I gathered everyone together today for everyone to connect with each other, and second, ......" As he spoke, his gaze fixed on somewhere below.
The crowd followed his gazeβ
At this time, everyone saw that there was a relatively unfamiliar face in the private room, a girl from the second class of finance.
In the following time, the girl slowly walked up to the stage, and then the two of them hugged each other under the witness of everyone.
Chen Xian was originally sitting next to Liang Shu, but she answered a phone call and went out halfway.
It's a festive time, but Liang Shu can't sit still.
When someone came to talk to her, she didn't react, but she was stunned for a long time.
So this picture was interpreted to mean something else.
"It's really ...... to be high at this time"
"Why do you think she disappeared all of a sudden? β
"How?"
"After graduating, when I followed my father to a business dinner, I watched her attend the banquet with the old man, and on the same night, she had more than one guest. β
The most important place where women gather is gossip.
The woman who spoke was called Du Qingqing.
What she said is true, and Liang Shu still has an impression.
At that time, they had already graduated for half a year.
Many people in the class are on track.
Only cool.
Her life was in a dark time.
She is short of money, and the money is not fast for serious work, and with Lu Jinsheng here, she doesn't look for a serious job at all.
So she went to be a courtesan.
She shuttles through various entertainment venues, and although life is hopeless, she is trying to survive.
It's just because at that time Jiang Pingsheng hoped that she would live well.
After Jiang Pingsheng's car accident, he dragged on and off for half a month, during which he did not wake up once, and finally passed away one afternoon.
No one knows how she came over for half a month.
The perpetrator of the car accident also died in that car accident, and Jiang Pingsheng's huge surgery fees forced Liang Shu to be at the mercy of Jiang Jiucheng to borrow usury.
Late one night, Liang Shu fell asleep on the bed, and before that, she had not closed her eyes for three days and three nights.
She had a dream, in which she said to Jiang Pingsheng: "Ah Sheng, I haven't eaten for almost five days, this is the eleventh day of your heart beating after the car accident, you have to survive." β
Liang Shu saw Jiang Pingsheng shaking his head at her.
At this time, Liang Shu walked towards him, looking at Jiang Pingsheng in the void, her tears fell, and her tone was choked, "I don't want to live anymore, how about I die in front of you, I heard that Huangquan Road is lonely, it is difficult to go down alone, almost all of this life is you waiting for me, this time I will go down and wait for you first, you must remember to take your time, no matter how long I will wait for you." β
At this moment, Jiang Pingsheng was like a cloud of smoke, Liang Shu walked towards him, and he disappeared.
In the end, Liang was tired, she didn't want to touch Jiang Pingsheng anymore, just look at him.
She heard her voice clearly, "Ah Sheng, I'm one step ahead of you, I won't drink Meng Po soup when I cross the bridge, I'll wait for you." β
As she spoke, she was about to close her eyes.
But suddenly, the void that she couldn't touch at all suddenly grabbed her hand, Jiang Pingsheng clenched her hand hard, almost pinching her, and the pain made Liang Shu open his eyes again.
Jiang Pingsheng said: "Ah Shu, you have to live well, you borrowed so much money to treat me, you have to pay it back." β
This day was November 10, 2013, the eleventh day of Jiang Pingsheng's coma after a car accident.
Liang Shu finally fainted late that night because of the excessive wear and tear in her heart, and she was taken away in a hazy way, and in her sight, Jiang Pingsheng seemed to hold her hand.
But Liang Shu didn't have the strength to speak, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.
Ah Sheng, they all lied to me, you haven't been unconscious all the time, otherwise, in the dead of night, how could you hold my hand?
On this day, Liang Shu relied on the infusion of nutrient solution to save his life.
Later, Liang Shu carried a knife with him all the time.
She wanders among all kinds of men, she is a famous courtesan in the middle society, she doesn't care who this person is, as long as he has money, she will accompany him to the drinking party.
People who have clicked on her are full of praise for Liangshu, as a courtesan, Liangshu's business ability is too good.
She always had a smile on her face, a smile when she was sad, and a smile when she was sad.
But there are men who don't eat her, and they wear a fake mask all the time, and some men can see through it, so some people want to tear off this mask.
At the banquet, he allowed Liang Shu to be bullied, and a woman slapped Liang Shu and splashed yellow champagne on her white dress.
But the number of their segments is not high, and Liang Shu still has a smile on his face, but there is a touch of coldness in his eyes at most.
A man twisted her chin, stared straight at her, and gritted his teeth at her, "What kind of monster are you?"
Liang Shu's fingers are attached to this person's fingers, and the eye waves are flowing, which is an endless style.
She said: "My face is like this, I failed when I had surgery, and crying is laughing and laughing in this life. β
During this period, didn't any man covet her and wanted to fake it?
The answer is, yes.
And there are no less.
At this time, the knife that Liang Shu carried with him came in handy.
On the night she was seen by Du Qingqing, Liang Shu had just finished the last game, and she followed the old man to attend a certain business meeting, and tried her best to satisfy the man's vanity.
She took a look at Du Qingqing, and passed her by holding the old man's arm without squinting.
Du Qingqing took her hand and looked at her with surprise and disdain, "Are you mixed up like this now?"
On his side, the old man held Liang Shu's hand, smiled with a wrinkled face, and asked Liang Shu: "Who is this ......?"
Liang Shu didn't even look at Du Qingqing, "I don't know." β
Later, it was in the women's bathroom.
Du Qingqing sat in the cubicle in a daze, her father wanted to introduce her to the CEOs of various industries, Du Qingqing knew that her father was for her own good and broadened her contacts.
But Du Qingqing was unwilling.
So she came to the bathroom to hide, trying to escape.
Not long after, I heard a cool voice.
Through the door, Du Qingqing couldn't see the situation outside, but she knew that men had mixed in in the women's bathroom, and together with Liang Shu, they even locked the door.
The man's voice was different from the one he had just had, younger, deeper, magnetic, and exceptionally nice.
What are they pestering outside, Du Qingqing doesn't know.
All she could hear was the sound of rushing water, and something was scattered all over the ground.
Later, the outside became quiet.
Du Qingqing came out of the cubicle, and what she saw was Liang Xing, whose hair was messy, and she was applying lipstick in front of the mirror, which was only half of it, and it had just been broken on the ground.
She looked at Liang Shu mockingly, there was no one else in the bathroom, she finally couldn't help it, she couldn't hold back a sneer, "It turns out that you are really a vixen who lives by clinging to men, parasites." β
At that time, Du Qingqing took a glass of wine next to him, and he didn't know who put it here, and poured it on Liang Shu's face.
Just like the current situation.
When the atmosphere was still warm, when everyone was talking and laughing, Liang Shu took the wine glass next to him with an indifferent expression, stood up, and splashed it accurately on Du Qingqing's face.
How similar the picture is.
It's just that the time has changed, and the place has changed.
Du Qingqing is even more proud than then, now she has already overcome some psychological obstacles, she works hard in the business world, and deals with many people every day.
Because of the blessing of her father behind her, she is also living more freely.
The development of their Du family has long exceeded that of that year, and with the financial resources of the Du family, there is no need to participate in the chamber of commerce of the same grade as back then.
The Du family is now even able to cooperate with Zhizhen Group, which is not what it used to be.
Who would dare to say a heavy word to her Du Qingqing now? Who would dare to splash her wine?
But the cold soothed.
And so the scene got out of hand.
Liang Shu became the target of everyone.
In her ear, someone pointed at her and said, "Liangshu, what qualifications do you have to clear the wine?"
Then, the same thing bloomed on her face, and Liang Shu's eyes, which were not particularly clear, instantly became clear.
She ignored the dripping liquor and looked at the man.
The woman was furious by her eyes, and her eyes glared at her fiercely, and then raised her tone, "Why are you looking at me? Don't think we don't know, some people rumored that you were a broom star back then, saying that you killed Yu Da's scholar." β
Liang Shu didn't have much presence in his school back then, and basically only Jiang Pingsheng's roommates knew about the relationship between Liang Shu and Jiang Pingsheng.
And with the death of Jiang Pingsheng, these people who know their relationship are even more tight-lipped about this relationship.
After all, no one wants bad luck to befall them one day.
At this moment, Liang Shu clenched the cup in her hand, and she looked at the woman steadily, "What about the evidence?"
The woman clenched her fingers and took a step back, "You know in your own heart, what evidence do you need? They say you killed you!"
Regardless of who this "they" are for the time being.
Liang Shu hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, and smashed the cup in his hand, and the sound of glass breaking sounded instantly, and the private room was instantly quiet.
Sharp shards of glass bounced up and scratched Liang Shu's arm, leaving a clear trail of blood.
Some girls were so frightened by her movements that they screamed, and everyone looked at her.
Liang Shu found it extremely boring.
She suddenly laughed coldly and walked towards the woman, her roommate Yue Ning stared at Liang Shu, her fingers clenched tightly.
Liang Shu said to the woman, "Yes, I can even kill Yu Da's scholars, what are you?"
After saying that, it doesn't matter what her reaction is.
Liang Shu walked towards the stage extremely calmly, she took off the microphone, stood on the stage, looked at the people below, and cleared her throat, "I shouldn't have come to this class reunion, but why did I come?"
She continued, "You can say I'm masochistic, you can say I'm crazy, I just want to see if the faces of you people have changed in the past few years." β
After speaking, the corners of Liang Shu's mouth hooked up and sneered, and the blood marks on the back of his left finger hanging by his side were clearly visible.
She glanced around, ignoring some of the faces that had already changed color, "I didn't see it as my joke back then, and I want to see it today, do I? I don't attend the graduation ceremony, I disappear because I'm being taken care of by men, right?"
Du Qingqing pointed at her sharply, "What, do you still want to say that I wronged you? I have seen it, not only me, but also some other people!"
The wine-soaked hair was sticky to her face, and there were strands of hair blocking her view, Liang Shu raised her hand to brush it away, she should be glad that she didn't wear makeup today, otherwise the situation would only get worse.
"Say, I'm here, let the protagonist come out," Liang Shu narrowed his eyes, this action was inexplicably a bit like Gu Hansheng, "I haven't been allowed to participate in any activities at school, I don't have a good get-together with you or a good breakup, there is no reason to invite me to this class reunion in a few years." β
With that, she placed the microphone on the shelf.
Untilβ
Liang Shu watched as the resentful figure got up from the couch.
It was her college roommate, Yue Ning.
The rest of the scene was particularly chaotic.
Liang Shu only knew that many people pointed to her nose and said, "Yue Ning is nearly eight months pregnant, if something happens to the child in her belly that you just pushed, you will be a murderer! Yue Ning is married to a powerful person, the child in her belly is the crown prince, you are dead!"
The woman who said this didn't know that just an hour later, a man with a gloomy face pointed at her, and his voice was indifferent and penetrating: "You poured wine at her, and you still pushed her? What kind of crown prince, my wife can't push it?"
