Chapter 207: Declaration of Sovereignty
When Cheng Wei arrived, Zhou He had already arrived, and compared to his grandeur, she was the same as usual, and her dress was still simple. She must have been waiting downstairs for a while, looking at the time in boredom.
Cheng Wei threw the key to the waiter to park the car, and walked forward quickly.
He was meticulous in his tie, and he wasn't wearing the same outfit he wore in the morning. Zhou He's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "Did you go to meet the customer today?"
Cheng Wei stretched out his hand and took her hand, he was rarely a little uncomfortable, coughed lightly and cleared his throat, and said, "I want to come here to change it, how about it, it's okay?"
He held Zhou He's hand a little tightly, with a little nervousness.
He's always been confident and narcissistic, and he's never seen him like this. Zhou He secretly laughed a little and said, "It's not like you haven't seen them." β
Cheng Wei stretched out his hand and straightened his tie again, leaned over slightly and leaned closer to Zhou He, and muttered, "That's different." β
No, I used to be a guest. And this time, I went to see my mother-in-law as a prospective son-in-law. Naturally, it's different.
Li Ying had already been interrogated upstairs just now, and Zhou He's face was slightly red. said in a low voice: "Only my mother is here, Uncle He will see the customer, and it will be a while." β
She was originally going to accompany Li Ying upstairs, but when she thought he was about to arrive, Li Ying urged her to come down and wait for him.
In fact, Cheng Wei was nervous in vain, whether it was He Changhui or Li Ying, they were satisfied with him. The meal was a pleasant one.
Regarding Zhou He's marriage, Li Ying was more anxious than Zhou He himself. After eating, he asked when the two were going to get engaged and get married.
Cheng Wei has no elders here, he has always been very good at pleasing the elders, so he politely asked Li Ying to call the shots.
Li Ying couldn't wait to devote all her energy to this marriage, and she had already thought about what Zhouhe's wedding should be, so she discussed it with Cheng Wei at this time.
Cheng Wei was very serious, while Zhou He had a headache when he listened to the cumbersome process. I wanted to say that everything was good to be simple, but in the face of the high enthusiasm of the rest of the people, I couldn't say a word.
Marriage is a major event, and the wedding is just a casual discussion first, and it has to be carefully planned.
Li Ying couldn't wait for the two to get married immediately, and after talking about the wedding, she talked about the engagement ceremony.
I don't know how to toss the wedding, and now the engagement ceremony will make everything simple.
Her opinion on this matter was completely ignored, and in the end, seeing that she had been suffering from a bitter face, Li Ying said that she would just invite a few tables of relatives and friends. But you still have to be prepared.
In view of Cheng Wei's many things, and she doesn't pay much attention to it, Li Ying is in charge of everything.
Cheng Wei asked the people below to help, but Li Ying didn't let her, saying that it was good to let her go. smiled and hinted that the two could go to get the marriage certificate in advance.
Cheng Wei is a person like a human spirit, so he naturally heard it. accompanied He Changhui to drink cup after cup, and on the way back, he held Zhou He's hand tightly.
Although Li Ying has passed this level, Ren Yurong, as Zhou He's father, still has the etiquette he should have. After going back to wash up, he lay on the bed, and said that he would go abroad and go to Ren Yurong's side.
In this matter, he is more thoughtful than Zhou He thought. Although they are father and daughter, they have no feelings for Ren Yurong.
Zhou He remembered all the things in the past, was stunned for a while, lowered his head, and said, "No, I'll just call and talk about it when the time comes." β
Cheng Wei gently kissed her on the cheek, reached out to wrap her slender waist, and said, "I want it." Leave this alone, good. β
Just a phone call seemed too casual, and he hoped that they would get married and get everyone's blessing.
Zhou He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. There was silence.
Cheng Wei hugged her tighter, and then said, "Wait for this weekend, let's go tell Aunt Qi and Qi Jingran, okay?"
He thought thoughtfully, Zhou He's eyes were slightly hot, and he responded in a low voice.
Cheng Wei sensed her depressed mood, wanted to make the atmosphere more relaxed, kissed her on the cheek again, and said in a low voice: "Go and meet my parents too, if they know, they will definitely be very happy." β
No, the Xie family only has his bloodline. As early as when he was young, what his mother was looking forward to most was for him to get married and have children.
If they were still there, and he was only married at such an old age, he would definitely not know what the rush would become.
Zhou He nodded and said yes.
There was silence outside, and Zhou He was in a trance for some reason, and after a while, he hesitated and asked, "How did you come here at that time?"
She had never asked about the process. He has always hidden the past deeply, and he does not mention it easily. So much so that she didn't know how to open her mouth even if she wanted to ask.
The expression on Dark Mileage's face did not change in any way. However, Zhou He knew that he would be uncomfortable, and reached out to hug his waist.
She was rarely so active in the future, and Cheng Wei's heart was soft and soft. Looking up at the dark ceiling, he thought for a moment and said, "I've been depressed for a long time. At that time, I also felt that the sky had fallen. β
Although he was a high-flying man in his youth, his father was always strict with him. For a long time, the saddest thing for him was not that life fell from the top to the mud, but that he lost his parents. and the wrongs suffered by my father.
Fortunately, even when he reached the bottom, the heavens still favored him.
Although his father stood in a high position, he was like a brother to the people under him. After his father fell, except for a few people who avoided him for fear of being implicated, many people helped him behind his back at that moment.
Knowing that the other party would not let them go, they had not yet risen from the blow of the sudden loss of his parents and the withdrawal of his fiancΓ©e, and they had already discussed sending him abroad behind their backs.
At that time, he was already poor and white, and the money to go abroad was raised behind their backs.
He was in a car accident on the way to the airport, and he was in a coma for half a month and disfigured. It was also because they did not abandon him that they pulled him back from the ghost gate.
He had passively resisted life, wanting to end his life and go to see his parents under the Nine Springs. But seeing that they were running around for him and risking for him, they didn't have any blood, so they cheered up. After the car accident, he actively cooperated with the doctor's treatment and rehabilitation.
After he left the country, several of them resigned. began to lay a foundation for him little by little, waiting for him to return for revenge.
Hehuan Street is a stronghold of his revenge.
They knew too well that they could no longer spread out for him, so they could only hide in a dark place, quietly raising revenge capital for him.
And Li Jing is the son of one of those uncles.
However, they still couldn't wait for him to return. Because of the depression in his body and mind, he passed away one after another a few years after he went abroad.
At that time, those men covered the sky with their hands. Fearing that he would be noticed when he returned, they even forbade him to come back for funeral.
The last uncle didn't even tell him about his death, and it was only after several phone calls that he couldn't hear his voice that he guessed.
At that time, it was two months after his death.
Later, the people on Hehuan Street were handled by Li Jing and experienced a long and difficult time. He couldn't come back, he could only watch Li Jing struggle a little bit like a trapped beast. He had thought about letting Li give up and live his own life, but he refused.
When the uncles were around, he just had to go to school. But after they passed away one after another, all the burden fell on him, and he began to earn money in addition to his studies. I worked part-time at a securities firm.
He has a keen sense of insight and has made a lot of money in a short period of time, all of which is given to Li Jing. Li Jing's condition has only improved.
Later, it is to start a business with people. His brain is active, and he gradually gained prestige when he was still in school. Later, although it was still difficult, it was much better than at the beginning.
Before he planned to return to China, he registered a company in China. And arranged for manpower to start the business under his planning.
He is no longer the same as he was when he was young, although he has been tormented by nightmares for many dark nights in a foreign land, and he wants to stab his enemies all the time. But in the end, he restrained himself and waited for the right time to return to China.
It was a difficult journey, but fortunately, in the end, he did not lose the people he loved.
The circle of the powerful in Kyoto is not easy to enter. When he returned, he made a few preparations. He had investigated Zhouhe's identity, and at first, he wanted to get close to her in order to enter the circle of Kyoto's magnates.
However, everything was not as he expected.
He was already cold-hearted, but when he watched her being kicked to the ground and silent, he inexplicably saw himself at the beginning. Only then did he get out of the car and save her.
Later, many times he reached out to help, and he always thought that he was taking pity on her. As everyone knows, he doesn't know when he likes her. Before he knew it, by the time he found out, it was too late.
Emotional matters, where he can do whatever he wants.
When he deliberately injured her and let her go, he was also tortured. Burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, he once thought that he would not have a tomorrow. There should be no love.
He thought he could watch her happily too. Later, he learned that he couldn't let go of her, let alone watch her with others.
During the time she was with Xu Mingze, although she knew that Dr. Xu was an old pedant, he had already investigated him. Know that there won't be any overstepping. But he was still restless.
Although the performance is light and light, as if nothing happened.
His little Ah He has already unconsciously integrated into his blood and bones. Unless he died, he couldn't let go of her for the rest of his life.
He did his own sin, and he deserved all his suffering. The only thing that is fortunate is that she still loves him.
What Cheng Wei told Zhou He was the simplest and calmest one. Even so, Zhou He could still guess how difficult it was for him at that time.
Speaking of these things, the atmosphere is much more depressing, Cheng Wei didn't want the atmosphere to be depressed, and after saying it briefly, he gently patted Zhou He's back and said, "Good, it's not early, go to sleep." β
Zhou He couldn't sleep at this time, but he still hummed.
Both of them had some insomnia that night, and Cheng Wei got up after Zhou He fell asleep and went outside to smoke a cigarette, and then lay down on the bed again.
On the weekend, Cheng Wei drove the car and took Zhou He to the cemetery. Standing in front of Aunt Qi's grave, looking at the photo of Aunt Qi with a gentle smile, Cheng Wei remembered that he lived in the house and Aunt Qi cared about him.
It can also be seen that she truly loves Zhouhe. For her sake everywhere.
Cheng Wei put the flowers and fruits he brought, and after worshipping, he said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will take care of Ahe." β
Aunt Qi's smile in the photo was still gentle, and Zhou He on the side wet her eyes slightly.
The two went to the small county town the next day to worship Cheng Wei's parents, and he originally planned to go over with Zhou He. But the car accident a few days ago is still terrifying in retrospect, and finally called someone to go with him.
While going to worship Cheng Wei's parents, he also went to worship the old grandmother.
The two did not return to Yucheng that day, but stayed at the hotel they had stayed in in the small county town. In the past few years, tourism has been developed here, and it has developed well in recent years, although it is the off-season, but there are still many tourists. There are also many handmade products with local characteristics.
Later, when Zhou He went out for a walk, he also bought a lot, and planned to take it back and put it in the study.
Zhou Ji didn't expect that Cheng Wei would set the place for the marriage proposal here. In the afternoon, under the pretext of having business, he asked people to go out with her. When she came back, there was no hotel, and Cheng Wei's people took her to a western restaurant in the scenic area.
Cheng Wei was much more direct this time than last time, and when she entered the restaurant, an elegant violin sounded. Cheng Wei, dressed in formal clothes, walked over in the flickering candlelight, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said tenderly: "Little Ahe, please marry me." β
Many of the areas in the restaurant are decorated with pink roses in the shape of hearts. Of course, the most conspicuous thing is the ring in his hand and the red rose.
Obviously, he had already agreed, but at this moment, Zhou He's eyes were still slightly moist. Under the coaxing of the staff in the western restaurant, he let him put on a ring for her and gave her a large bouquet of red roses.
After accepting the marriage proposal, Cheng Wei flew abroad to meet Ren Yurong.
Zhou He returned to Kyoto, and although the date of the marriage was not set, the sooner the better. While preparing for the engagement ceremony, she has begun to find a designer to customize her wedding dress. This time, I asked her to measure it in the past.
Although Li Ying is happy to have her handle everything, Zhou cooperates with the bride-to-be and should have her own ideas.
She thinks that Zhou He should have her own ideas, but Zhou He doesn't have any ideas, and she just says that she is in charge of everything.
Li Ying knew that she was afraid of trouble, and she couldn't help but have a headache. Many places were watched by her personally, and then she asked Zhou He if he was satisfied.
After learning that Cheng Wei flew abroad to meet Ren Yurong Li Ying, he was very satisfied, and he was willing to travel thousands of miles to see Zhou He's father, which already showed the importance of marriage. Li Ying was originally worried that Zhou He would be wronged, but now she was completely relieved. Tell Zhou He that now the newlyweds get their certificates before the wedding. Let her wait for Cheng Wei to come back and get the certificate first. Of course, she has already looked forward to the days for them.
is ready to get engaged, but he hasn't told Li Peiyuan about it. Zhou He was going to tell him personally, but he was so busy in Yucheng that she couldn't see him at all. Before she came to Kyoto, she heard that he was back, and when she went to the old house, she learned from her aunt that he had come back in a hurry, brought his clothes and left. I haven't been back. I don't know if he's still in Kyoto or if he's already gone back to Yucheng.
couldn't see anyone, so Zhou He had to call him. But I don't know if Li Peiyuan is on a mission or what, his mobile phone can't be connected after calling several times in a row.
Unable to contact him, Zhou He had to put the matter on hold. I'm going to call him back when I get back.
Li Ying has already chosen a few dates for the engagement, but she needs to wait until Cheng Wei comes back to discuss with him before deciding on it. So there's no hurry.
Li Ying's movements were swift, and the list of guests had already been set before the date was set. Only relatives and friends were invited.
When preparing all this, Li Ying had already prepared a dowry for her. The villa next door that was prepared before made her come here from time to time in the future.
In addition to the villas, there are several properties and facades as well as cash.
Probably because he was afraid that Zhou He would think too much, it was Li Ying and He Changhui who came out together. Zhou Ji didn't want these things, but he couldn't resist Li Ying's tears and He Changhui's insistence.
Cheng Wei came back three days after going abroad, and he did not fly directly to Yucheng, but arrived in Kyoto first. The dowry given by He Changhui was generous, and Zhou Ji couldn't accept it calmly. After Cheng Wei came back, he talked to him.
Cheng Wei thought about it for a moment and asked her to keep it first. If she doesn't accept it, it will only make Li Ying feel more guilty. As for the matter of being too rich, just go back when He Xing and He Anan get married in the future.
As an older sister, her younger brothers and sisters get married, so they naturally have to prepare generous gifts.
Zhou He is only a little more relaxed now, and he plans to return it in this way.
Cheng Wei's trip was smooth, and Ren Yurong had already received a call from Li Ying. But I still have a lot of feelings about Cheng Wei seeing him in the past. Let Cheng Wei be sure to take care of Zhou He.
Zhou He is engaged and married, how should he, the father, appear. But after Tan Ziran came back, she found that she was pregnant, and there was no one to trust in a foreign country, and it was too hard for her to take a long-distance flight as a pregnant woman, and he might not be able to go back.
Because I didn't expect anything, I wasn't disappointed.
However, Li Ying was somewhat slight, but in the end she didn't say anything. Ren Yurong has his own family, and he has to take care of a new family, which is also normal.
Zhou He and Cheng Wei were not at the Kyoto hotel, and soon returned to Yucheng.
Cheng Wei's work has accumulated after he went abroad, and he has been a little busy these days. Zhou He was much more idle, and went to the police station where Li Peiyuan was.
Li Peiyuan was not there when she passed, and when she learned that she was coming to find him, someone inside politely arranged her to drink tea on the side.
This tea was an afternoon, and when Li Peiyuan came back, it was already too dark outside. He was surprised to see Zhou He waiting for him here, and asked, "Why did you come here? How long have you been waiting? Why don't you call?"
He asked like a cannon, and took out his phone as he spoke.
Zhou He said that he couldn't get through by calling him. As for how long it will be, she doesn't say, only that it won't be long.
Although she didn't say it, as long as Li Peiyuan asked others, how could she not know.
He still has some things to do, so he will let Zhou He wait for a while, and then go to work.
Zhou He originally thought that he would have to wait for a while, but Li Peiyuan came back in about ten minutes. He changed into casual clothes, asked Zhou He if he had eaten, and then took her to a restaurant outside.
He should have been a frequent patron, and as soon as he entered the door, the proprietress greeted him and looked at Zhou He curiously.
Li Peiyuan didn't explain anything, and after sitting down, he asked Zhou He to order. The proprietress came over and heard Zhou He call him his little uncle, probably because she saw that the age difference between the two was not very big, and she was even more curious, but she didn't ask anything.
At this time, there are many people eating, and it will take a while for the dishes to come up. While waiting for the food, Li Peiyuan poured tea for Zhou He, looked at her, and asked gently, "Is there something wrong with coming over?" When you went to the old house a few days ago, my aunt told me that I wanted to call you after this time. β
He wasn't usually busy during this time, and even slept for only a few hours. He does everything himself, and he doesn't sleep for more than 30 hours.
Zhou He snorted. This time I came here to tell Li Peiyuan the news that she was about to get engaged, so she said, "Little uncle, I'm getting engaged." β
Li Peiyuan was slightly stunned, and there was a little trance on his handsome face. But soon he returned to his smiling appearance and said, "Ah He has grown up, and time flies so fast. β
Although Zhou He is no longer a child, in his eyes, she is like a child all along.
On days like this, I always order wine. Li Peiyuan called the waiter in the store again and asked for a bottle of wine.
He didn't ask Zhou He who he was going to get engaged to, and he didn't wait for the food to come up after the wine came up, so he filled himself with a glass of wine and said to Zhou He: "Our little Ahe must be happy and happy." β
As he spoke, he picked up his cup and drank it down. He always had a calm smile on his face.
Although he ordered wine, Li Peiyuan only drank two glasses.
Zhou He came to Cheng Wei to know, and he called at eight o'clock to ask where she was, and he came to pick her up.
Li Peiyuan obviously knew that Zhou He's engagement partner was Cheng Wei, and he was not surprised to see Cheng Wei coming. A slight nod was a greeting.
Cheng Wei is a cunning person, and he changed his mind before the marriage was engaged, and called his uncle with Zhou He.
It sounds a little awkward, but he looks frank and uneasy.
