056: Come and be my bridesmaid
Gu Dongsheng was unhappy, "Dad, are you still my own father? In front of so many people, I am a bastard, I am your son, I am a bastard, aren't you a big bastard?"
Gu Jin's eyes widened, and he glanced at him fiercely, because there were many people, he was not easy to have a seizure, but fortunately, he ignored him directly and introduced his third son to Su Qi to know.
If Gu Dongsheng is ruffian, then Gu Dongshuo, the third son of the Gu family, is a humble gentleman.
The two of them don't look like each other at all, it is said that Gu Dongsheng's mother is not a serious master and can't move to the stage, so she is so unfavored at home.
The Gu family's Hesheng Gang fell a little quickly, and the bosses of several halls below began to set up their own doors, or rebelled, when Gu Jin was having a headache, Xing Qihong came to this invitation, which was like sending charcoal in the snow, which made him see the hope of a comeback.
Gu Jin has always had a good relationship with Shen Peibing, but Shen Peibing has been dedicated to serious business in the past few years, and has the intention of whitewashing, and most of the time he ignores things on the road, unless things come to his eyes, he will take care of it. Gu Jin had discussed with him many times, but he had responded on the surface, but he had never done anything.
As a result, Gu Jin was also very depressed, worried about internal troubles outside, sleeping unwell outside, and making trouble at home, it was really a restless house, and everything was not going well.
Although Gu Jin is in his prime, he has ambitions, and he doesn't want the glorious Hesheng Gang to be destroyed in his hands like this. Before, for the sake of face, he was always reluctant to take the initiative to show favor to Xing Qihong, but now there is an opportunity.
Gu Dongshuo, under the instruction of Gu Jin, talked with Su Qi.
Gu Dongsheng went to look for wine to drink, and his eyes looked over here from time to time.
"Please bear with your parents' orders. Gu Dongshuo whispered in her ear.
Su Qi took a bite of the cake, licked the corners of his mouth, glanced at him sideways, smiled lightly, and said, "Actually, even if you don't say it, I don't mind." And there are too many people to socialize, so it will be easier to chat with you. ”
"Thank you. He was still humble and courteous.
When the time was about the same, Xing Qihong took her and walked to the middle of the banquet hall, on the table was a cup tower made of cups, and there was a table in front of the table, Xing Qihong took her hand and stood up.
Suddenly, all the spotlights in the venue were on them, and Su Qi was glad that she was an artist before, otherwise she might not be able to hold up the scene in such a scene.
With a standard smile on her face, her gaze fell on a certain point, Xing Qihong squeezed her hand, and she turned her head to look at him. From his eyes, she saw a trace of excitement, and even a slight redness in her eyes, which was a real lost feeling.
Su Qi had to cooperate with him, and she shook his hand back.
"Everyone already knows that Su Qi is my daughter who is in exile. He raised his hand and stroked her loose hair and said, "I have two points to explain to you that I am holding this banquet today. One is about my daughter, who has been wandering outside for more than 20 years, and how much she has suffered and how many sins she has suffered during that time, I can think of it without her telling me. ”
"I hadn't found her before, so I couldn't protect her properly. Now that I have finally found her, and I am sure that she is my Xing Qihong's biological daughter, then from now on, whoever bullies her will be bullying me Xing Qihong, I will definitely pay it back a thousand times, no matter who this person is, bullying my daughter, absolutely not!"
"The second is that because I am not in good health, I plan to hand over some of my business to my daughter, so please take more care of my daughter in the future. She is still a newcomer and has a lot to learn, but even if she is a newcomer, she will not be bullied by others. ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd soon began to whisper, it was normal to have such a reaction, Xing Qihong didn't care about it, only motioned to Wei Che to bring the champagne over, and said with a smile: "Thank you for giving Xing someone face today and coming to this dinner." I also bother everyone to take care of my daughter Su Qi in the future. ”
Xing Qihong's status is here, and he naturally wants to give him face on this occasion, and when the words fell, applause broke out.
Su Qi smiled brightly, opened his hands and gently hugged Xing Qihong, choked up and said, "Thank you, Dad." ”
The two then poured champagne together, filling all their glasses with champagne.
The banquet continued, and the staggered bargaining.
Several young men came over to talk to Su Qi and invited her to dance.
No, she had just gotten off the field, and someone came over again. She excused herself to go to the bathroom and went out of the banquet hall to breathe.
She went to the bathroom to make up her makeup, and when she came out, there were more people in the corridor, and the entire hotel was covered by Xing Qihong, so there were naturally no idle people in the corridor.
She paused slightly, her eyes flickered, she pursed her lower lip slightly, straightened her back, and prepared to return to the banquet hall.
Before she could walk past him, someone stepped in front of her, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said, "It's beautiful today." ”
"Thank you Gu Sishao for your compliment. She lowered her eyes slightly.
He still looked like a fool, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, I'm just telling the truth, why should Miss Su be so polite." Ah, no, I should call you Miss Xing now. ”
Su Qi raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Actually, it's the same as anything, I'm still me, there will be no change, my father is still waiting for me, I'm out of company." ”
After saying that, she left straight away, without the slightest pause. Gu Dongsheng didn't stop her anymore, and looked back at her figure disappearing into the corridor.
Su Qi returned to the banquet hall, and in order to avoid dancing again, she found Xing Hao, stood behind him, and pushed him to the hanging garden, where there were a little fewer people and it was relatively quiet.
"Thank you. ”
"No, in fact, I didn't want to stay there, so I deliberately came to you and pretended to take care of you. Su Qi was blunt.
Xing Hao laughed softly, "This is a dinner party specially organized by your father for you, it doesn't seem good for you to hide outside like this." ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I go back and dance with all kinds of people, I wear high heels, and it takes a lot of effort to stand all night, let alone make me dance. It's painful. Her head shook like a rattle.
Xing Hao smiled: "Some people can't pick if they want to dance." Dancing is easy to connect with feelings, with your current status, you can choose your dance partner at will, you don't need to accept everyone, just choose the best. ”
Su Qi sighed, "I also know the merit, but where do I know which is good and which is not, I don't know most of the people present today, how can I be embarrassed to refuse." Why don't you show it for me?"
She was a little tentative when she said this.
Xing Hao smiled, looked up at her with a pair of clear eyes, his eyes were calm and waveless, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqi, if you choose a boyfriend, I can help you take a look, but I have to remind you that my vision is not good, and I am not very accurate in seeing people." ”
"Dad should have told you that I stay in the yard all year round, and I don't like to go out, let alone face some irrelevant people and things. So, in fact, I almost don't know anyone who came today, so naturally I don't know which is more important. ”
"Don't joke with me like that. He still had a gentle smile on his face, faintly, without the slightest wave. After saying that, he turned his gaze away, looked away, and stopped talking to her.
Su Qi chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, I thought you would know some, but I thought it was wrong, I'm really sorry." ”
"It doesn't matter, you go find Wei Che, I'll stay here for a while. ”
"Forget it, I'm still here with you, I promise I won't speak. ”
Xing Hao glanced at her lightly, "Whatever you want." ”
Su Qi didn't speak again, just stood silently behind him, looking at the night view of the city. Su Qi is not unwilling to socialize, at this time, she should wander around like a courtesan, using her posture to climb the relationship with those dignitaries and nobles, and belong to her own relationship.
It's just that she's a little tired and she needs to do less rest. Before the banquet, Wei Che had picked out the key points for her, although she had never attended any formal colleges. But in private, they will have a personal tutor to teach them some things that need to be used, such as languages.
Su Qi has not been very good in this area, she has worked hard, but some things are not enough just hard work, but also need a little talent and interest. She is not a genius, and she has spent ten times more time practicing many things than others to get to where she is today.
She was not lucky enough, God didn't give her a pair of parents, and she refused to give her even a genius head.
The list of guests, important guests, she kept it all in her head.
She stood with Xing Hao for a while, then said a word to him, and turned to find the old man.
This night, the old man and Xing Hao gave her enough face, and stayed until the end of the banquet, and then Wei Che arranged to go home.
Su Qi gained a lot, and when he got home, he was tired and paralyzed, lying on the bed and reluctant to move, lying down for a while, and then fell asleep.
When Xing Qihong settled Xing Hao over, she lay on the bed without any image, motionless. Wei Che wanted to call her out loud, but Xing Qihong stopped her, and then went over lightly, covered her with a thin quilt, turned off the headlights, and left only a dim table lamp, and went out silently.
When the door closed, Su Qi squirmed, and in the end, he just lay motionless on the bed.
The result of sleeping without removing makeup was that there were three huge acne on his face, and he was ridiculed by Xing Yao's little girl for three days.
......
After the banquet, Su Qi's identity was completely proven, everyone knew that she was Xing Qihong's illegitimate daughter, and she was an illegitimate daughter who was extremely loved and valued. Lu Chuang is a bloody lesson, naturally no one will dare to bully Su Qi again.
I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that death will be too miserable and too painful.
Su Qi is quite busy these days, living a 9-to-5 life, she goes to the company after breakfast with Xing Qihong every morning, and Xing Qihong first let her take over the legitimate business.
Every few days, I would take her to some clubhouse in the evening.
Then I gathered a few people from the hall to eat together and report to work. These private businesses naturally can't be talked about on the table.
Xing Qihong has been involved in a wide range of areas, and his recent focus has gradually shifted to the arms business.
Among them, the most dissatisfied with Su Qi's arrival is Qin Leopard, the head of the black shadow, he thinks that the little girl is not deeply involved in the world, and is not qualified to participate in their affairs, let alone sit in Xing Qihong's position, so he privately instigated many people and was ready to rebel.
For his incitement, Xing Qihong only used one method, and the opponent died, and he was immediately speechless. Qin Bao is not convinced, yes, without the big tree of Xing Qihong, there are many rivals in one day, and there is no peace every day.
Su Qi saw it on the spot, Xing Qihong killed people, talking and laughing, a life disappeared in his hands, people can't be good-looking, people who are peaceful on the surface may not be really peaceful, of course, people who are treacherous on the surface may not be really cunning. Therefore, the human heart is the most difficult thing to understand, and in the present, you can still believe in people, it can only be said that Xing Qihong's Taoism is much deeper than she imagined.
Su Qi was busy and did not delay the appointment.
Her underground affair with Lu Yan, and her date with Gu Dongshuo, Lu Yan saw it in his eyes, but he never mentioned it, pretending that he didn't know.
Time flies quickly, autumn goes to winter, the end of the year is approaching, and the wedding date of Lu Jingbei and Lu Xiao is approaching.
And Su Qi and Lu Yan's underground love affair was also exposed, as for who did it, Su Qi said that he didn't know, and Lu Yan also said that he didn't know.
It is not known which of the two is lying.
said that the two of them were in an underground relationship, but in fact, in recent days, the truth and the false, except for the two of them, it is difficult for others to distinguish the truth from the false.
On this day, when the two came out to eat, Lu Yan had a little tail behind her, and she sat beside Lu Yan with a smile on her face.
I haven't seen him for many days, but this Lu Xiao is becoming more and more standard, and people are in good spirits when they are happy, probably like this. She sat there upright, and said very seriously: "Sister Su Qi, first of all, I promise you that I am definitely not here to help Jiaojiao find out or anything, I don't care about this matter now." ”
Su Qi smiled and said, "I can see that you are afraid of death now and you don't have so much time to worry about." ”
"Actually, I'm here to ask you something. ”
"What?" asked Su Qi, taking a sip of tea.
"It's just that one of my bridesmaids got pregnant unexpectedly. Then I want to ask you to be my bridesmaid, because my mom asked for twelve, and twelve is really my limit. Now one is suddenly pregnant, and there is no way to be my bridesmaid, let me find another one, I really can't take care of it. When my brother went out, I heard him call you, so I thought of you at once. ”
Lu Xiao stuck out his tongue and said, "Sister Su Qi, are you free that day?"
Su Qi glanced at Lu Yan, and he shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know.
Let her be Lu Xiao's bridesmaid, this is not an ordinary thing, and there are inextricable relationships. On the one hand, the groom is Lu Jingbei, and when she is this bridesmaid, she feels like she is looking for abuse by herself.
On the other hand, the Lu family and the Xing family are still deadlocked, if she agrees, no matter what identity she appears at Lu Xiao's wedding, this is indirectly telling outsiders that the Lu Xing family has rebuilt the old friendship.
As for Su Qi himself, he wanted to go but didn't want to go.
"Wait until I go back and ask about the itinerary, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. ”
Lu Xiao nodded heavily, rolled his eyes, and said, "Then wait for the dinner, let's go to the wedding dress shop, you take a look at the bridesmaids' dresses, and by the way, measure the size for you, let them do it first, the wedding will be held at the end of the month, I'm really afraid it's too late." ”
It's just a bridesmaid, with He Xiuxiang's ability, it's easy to find such a person. This is her precious daughter's wedding, how can the second half of it be wrong.
There must be something wrong here, but Su Qi didn't refuse.
After dinner, the three of them went to the wedding dress custom shop, Lu Xiao was a big customer, she had called before she came, so almost all the employees were at the door to answer.
Lu Xiao came over and stopped by to try on her main wedding dress, which had been modified three or four times under the supervision of He Xiuxiang.
This is the fifth time, and almost every time I have to send it back to Paris to change, and this main wedding dress cost three million.
The clerks all hugged Lu Xiao and wanted to lead her to try on the wedding dress.
She squeezed out of the crowd with a smile, walked back to Su Qi's side, and said, "That, you guys take out the bridesmaid dress first and try it on for my friend." ”
"Okay, Miss Lu. ”
After saying that, several people split up, two went to make tea, two went to get clothes, and one stayed to greet them.
"Didn't you choose the style a long time ago?"
"Everyone's design is different, so it's up to you to come and pick your favorite. The clerk said.
Su Qi said with a smile: "Your wedding design is quite delicate, even the bridesmaids are so delicate." ”
Lu Xiao sighed and whispered: "It's not all because of my mother, everything has to be the best, every step has to be designed, I'm almost annoyed." Let's just say that this wedding dress has been changed I don't know how many times, and I am still not satisfied. ”
"This time I came by myself, and I made up my mind, if I continue to toss like this, I may not be able to make a wedding dress that satisfies her on the day of marriage. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Su Qi smiled and said: "Your mother also loves you and wants to give you the best, after all, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, don't leave any regrets." ”
"I don't have any regrets, I think it's good to be with someone you like, no matter what. The ceremony is solemn, and it is all for others to see. But I also understand my mother, she wants to save face, and her daughter naturally has to do her best when she gets married. So, I'll let her toss, and when she's done, I'll go out and have a good time. She had a very good idea.
Su Qi smiled, thinking that he was really a filial child.
Along the way, there are wedding dresses worn by models on both sides, each of which is very distinctive and beautiful. Women have no resistance to these, including Su Qi.
She is also a woman, even if she is like steel, but she also likes these beautiful things, and deep down she longs to wear a beautiful wedding dress. She doesn't ask for uniqueness, it's simple.
Her gaze swept over the wedding dresses, her eyes lingering. Lu Xiao probably saw the deep longing in her eyes, tugged her hand, and said, "Do you want to take one and try it?"
Su Qi was slightly stunned, smiled faintly, and said, "No." I'm not married, so it's troublesome to try. ”
"What's so troublesome about this, just accompany me. Moreover, how do you know that you won't get married? My brother is not young, I can't say when I will get married, is it possible that you want to play hooligan on my brother?" she squinted her eyebrows, glanced at Lu Yan who was following behind, and said half-jokingly: "Brother, you are so pitiful." ”
Lu Yan snorted, reached out and tapped her forehead, and said, "Go on, I'll take Xiaoqi away after speaking." ”
"That's not going to work. Lu Xiao immediately grabbed Su Qi's, pointed to one of the wedding dresses to the clerk, and said, "Take this, we have to try it." ”
"Okay. ”
Su Qi wanted to refuse, but Lu Xiao didn't give her this chance.
The two were in the fitting room, the costumer dressed them, and Lu Xiao asked tentatively: "Sister Su Qi, are you really not planning to marry my brother?" In fact, you are not too young, you should think about it. ”
Su Qi looked at himself in the mirror wearing a wedding dress, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't delay your brother's time." ”
"Well, that's not what I meant. ”
"I know that I won't waste my youth either. ”
Lu Xiao glanced back at her, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Sister Su Qi, your back is so beautiful." ”
Her outfit is backless and shape-shaped.
Su Qi smiled and said, "You forgot, I was a wild model before." If I didn't have a little advantage, I wouldn't have been able to mess around for that long. ”
Su Qi's figure and face are the biggest advantages, for that figure, she has suffered a lot, and she has eaten a lot of food.
Lu Xiao looked envious and said, "I envy your figure." ”
"Don't be envious, follow me to the gym in the future, you will also have such a figure. ”
"Okay, then I'll start following you to the gym tomorrow. Before I got married, I practiced. ”
Su Qi glanced at her through the mirror and said with a smile, "Okay." ”
The two got dressed and went out, Lu Yan was sitting on the sofa, drinking water, and when the two came out, he only glanced at it lightly, and the expression on his face did not change much.
"Miss Su is really suitable for wearing this set, there are so many customers in our store, and none of them can wear this dress as beautiful as you. ”
Su Qi smiled slightly, not modest, and said, "I'm a clothes rack." ”
"Yes, clothes racks. ”
There are just a few of them here, and they are not noisy, Su Qi's words reached Lu Yan's ears impartially, and he pursed his lips and smiled. Su Qi's sharp eyes saw the smile on his face, glanced back at him, walked up to him, crossed his hands on his hips, and asked, "Isn't it good-looking?"
"You're a clothes rack, how can it not look good. And you have a little more than a clothes rack. ”
Su Qi squinted and instantly understood what he was talking about. She smiled, and was about to say something, when the clerk next to her suddenly stood up straight and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu." ”
When Su Qi heard this, he turned his head sideways, and saw Lu Jingbei walking this way, from far and near. He was wearing an overcoat and carrying the cold air outside, and Su Qi shook unconsciously.
He smiled at her kindly, then patted Lu Yan on the shoulder and said, "Fourth, you are also there." ”
"No, your woman is following me, and it's not easy to date. ”
"Brother, can I listen!" Lu Xiao came over with a big skirt, her body was shiny, and then she changed her smiling face again, and said to Lu Jingbei, "What do you think?"
"Good looking. He nodded.
"Then it's decided, no matter my mother. As she spoke, she finalized it with the dress master, and then said to Lu Jingbei: "I'm going to find Sister Su Qi to be my bridesmaid, she can be my chief bridesmaid, the clothes are really beautiful on her, what do you think?" Lu Xiao pulled her to her side.
Lu Jingbei glanced at it, smiled, and said, "It's good if you're happy." ”
Su Qi didn't like this feeling, and it could even be said that she hated it, she slightly broke free of Lu Xiao's hand, smiled faintly at her, and then looked at Lu Yan and said with a smile: "I'll go and change my clothes." ”
Lu Yan nodded, Su Qi turned around and went into the dressing room to change his clothes, and then under the guidance of the clerk, he selected the bridesmaids' clothes and measured them the size. and prepared to take his leave.
The four of them stood at the door of the store, and Su Qi said to Lu Xiao, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow." ”
"Okay, you have to say yes. Lu Xiao smiled and nodded, took her hand, and prayed.
Su Qi secretly glanced at Lu Jingbei with his afterglow and smiled. He said, "Say yes when you have time." ”
"Good. ”
At this time, the clerk came over with a large box and handed it to Lu Yan.
Su Qi glanced at him with curiosity, he signed the order, didn't say anything, just said goodbye to Lu Xiao and Lu Jingbei, and left with Su Qi.
Once in the car, he shoved the box into her hand.
"What is this?"
"Gifts. ”
Su Qi couldn't help squinting his eyes and said, "Don't tell me, this is the dress I tried just now." ”
"A clothes rack is a clothes rack, and the size of this dress is like it is tailor-made for you, just right, and it's new. ”
"What are you doing?" Su Qi showed a surprised expression.
"If it looks good, buy it, and wear it to me later. ”
Su Qi giggled, shook his head, and said, "Beautiful things are for everyone to see." ”
"So, you mean to show Gu Dongshuo as well?" he smiled at the corner of his lips and looked ahead.
Su Qi raised his eyebrows and glanced at him sideways, "I thought you didn't care." ”
"I really don't care, after all, there is no way to compare, but I don't say it, and it seems that I don't care, so I always have to mention it. ”
Su Qi sighed twice, "It seems like I care." ”
After a moment, he changed the subject, "Are you here for the wedding?"
"Do you want me to go?"
"I depend on you, you can come if you want, and you can come if you don't want to. ”
Su Qi pouted and said, "You're so casual, then you won't go." ”
Lu Yan chuckled, "Of course I want you to come." ”
"Then I'll think about it. ”
He chuckled and said no more.
Su Qi went home, Xing Qihong happened to be at home, talking to Wei Che in the study. She put away the dress, went to the study, and told him about Lu Xiao's invitation to be a bridesmaid.
"Did you say yes?"
Xing Qihong took a sip of tea and said, "Agree." ”
