Chapter 146: Engagement

Zhou He also stood silently, and after a long pause, he asked in a low voice, "Little uncle, what is the situation of Senior Brother Xu...... It's bad now, isn't it?"

It was so quiet that the air seemed to stop flowing.

Li Peiyuan's empty eyes looked into the distance, and he didn't answer Zhou He's question, but said lightly: "It's okay for him to go over there." After a slight pause, he continued: "Don't worry too much, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and his life will not be too difficult if no one specially instructed him." ”

No matter how difficult it is to be in the situation over there, it will not be embarrassing in Kyoto.

Although he said so, Li Peiyuan's tone was heavy. Obviously, the situation is not as rosy as he suggests. The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, the other party has the upper hand, how can their situation be good.

Zhou He's heart was heavy, and he remembered Li Ruifeng, who fell ill after the accident, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Uncle, ...... they?"

Li Peiyuan smiled faintly at this time, and said lightly: "Don't worry about your uncle, he has his own way of coping." ”

Yes, Li Ruifeng is already an old fox, and he has long been used to seeing ups and downs, so I am afraid that he has already left a way back for himself. If the Li family really had no way out, Li Peiyuan would not accept the arrangement and come to Yucheng to recuperate.

Zhou He nodded at this time, and suddenly remembered Cheng Weilai, who had not heard from him. I couldn't help but lose my mind for a while, and after a long while, I came back to my senses and said, "It's cold outside, let's go in, little uncle." ”

Li Peiyuan snorted and entered the house on crutches.

Zhou Ji didn't want to have too much contact with Qin Yang, but the next day, he actually came to the door. It was a little slippery in the light rain outside, and he was brought in a wheelchair by the driver.

When Zhou He went out, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the two of them outside the courtyard, Qin Yang didn't speak, but the driver said with a smile: "Miss Zhou is good." You sent Mr. Qin back yesterday, and Mr. Qin is very grateful. I've got two boxes of oranges and brought them to you to taste. ”

His excuse was a little lame.

Zhou He said politely. But people have already come, and it is obviously not good not to invite people in to sit. She had to invite Qin Yang into the house now.

The driver, as usual, took the orange in and took his leave. said that he had something to do, and he would come over to pick up Qin Yang later.

Qin Yang was just like his own home, sliding a wheelchair and walking into the house. When he saw Li Peiyuan, who heard the sound of talking, he came out of the study on crutches, his brows furrowed, but he didn't speak.

Instead, Li Peiyuan asked in a calm voice: "Ahe, are there any guests at home?"

Zhou He had to introduce Qin Yang to him at this time, and also introduced him to Qin Yang.

Qin Yang was completely different in front of Li Peiyuan and in front of Zhou He, polite. The tone is not yin and yang, and he looks humble and polite.

Although Li Peiyuan couldn't see it, he also knew that Qin Yang was physically inconvenient when he heard the sound of the wheelchair. But he didn't ask much, just said something simple.

Qin Yang usually talks little and has a strange temper, but although Li Peiyuan doesn't talk much, he can also find some suitable topics. Occasionally, humorous jokes are told.

He was probably bored, and later he didn't know how the two talked about playing chess, and he actually offered to play chess with Li Peiyuan.

Even if Li Peiyuan is good at chess, he can't see with his eyes after all. Accompanying him is to pass time, he is a guest, obviously not very suitable. But without waiting for Li Peiyuan to refuse, Qin Yang asked Zhou He to play chess.

These days, after playing chess with the old Chinese medicine doctor, as long as the opponent makes a slight noise when playing chess, he doesn't need to use someone next to him to remind Li Peiyuan that he can play completely. Just move more slowly.

He didn't let Zhou He stay by the side today, let her go and busy her, and he and Qin Yang got up.

Qin Yang should rarely play chess, and he was killed by Li Peiyuan at the beginning. The more frustrated he became, the more ugly he lost, and the more interested he became.

This time, it was Li Peiyuan who accompanied him.

It was almost noon when Qin Yang came over, and he knew that he would not leave until lunch. Zhou He had to go to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

It was already afternoon when Qin Yang left, and he didn't bother Zhou He today. has been playing chess with Li Peiyuan. It's obviously a very boring thing, but the two of them only did this one thing this day.

After Qin Yang left, Zhou He originally thought that Li Peiyuan would ask something, but he didn't ask anything. Instead, she briefly talked about how she met Qin Yang.

Li Peiyuan didn't say anything, just nodded. I said I wanted to take a break, and went back to my room.

Back in the room, he didn't rest. Groping his way to the window, he pulled out a cigarette and smoked it. After one was drawn, his phone rang. He took his phone out and fumbled to pick it up.

I don't know what the people over there said, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said lightly after a while.

The sky gradually darkened, and in the courtyard next door, Cheng Wei sat in the cold living room smoking a cigarette. There were no lights in the room, only the fireworks in his hands flickering and flickering.

He smoked a cigarette for a while and walked out. Hidden in a dark courtyard, looking at the house next door.

I don't know how long I stood there, but the door of the courtyard was quietly opened. Li actually opened the door and walked in.

Cheng Wei stood still and did not look back at him.

He walked over and stood for a moment before saying, "Mr. Cheng, it's time to go." ”

Cheng Wei hummed lightly, and his eyes stayed on the courtyard next door.

Li actually stood with him, and after a while, he said, "Mr. Li, I have already told you." ”

Cheng Wei nodded, retracted his gaze, and said, "Let's go." ”

The car was quietly parked outside, and when he got into the car, Cheng Wei asked, "I asked you to check it, did you find it?"

Li Jing nodded and said, "He's been here for a while. After a slight pause, he continued in a low voice: "I'm sorry Mr. Cheng, we were negligent......

A little tiredness appeared between Cheng Wei's eyebrows, and he stretched out his hand to stop Li Jing from continuing, saying, "I don't blame you, I'm too conceited." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a cigarette and smoked it. After a while, he asked again, "Has his identity been found?"

Li Jing's face showed a solemn look, and he said, "I haven't found it yet." According to the informant's information, there was no such person. ”

But this is no coincidence.

Cheng Wei's face also became solemn, and he didn't speak again. I took out my cigarette and smoked it.

In the courtyard next door, Zhou Heben was looking at the mail in the mailbox, and he didn't know how to start staying at this time. It took her a while to come to her senses.

Her eyes were swollen so badly that she stood up to the window and looked out. The alley outside was quiet, and there was not even the sound of dogs barking.

Zhou He's days were idle during this time, and that evening, she received a call from Shu Hua. said that her brother was getting married, and asked her to accompany her to pick out a dress.

In a blink of an eye, even Shu Hua's younger brother was about to get married, Zhou He couldn't help but be stunned, and then agreed.

She got up early the next day, and she was going to go to Shu Hua's side. Call Shu Hua, and Shu Hua asks her to go to the store by herself. Don't have to run around with that much trouble.

Zhou Heying came down and told her that he would leave home immediately.

Shu Hua had to send the little guy to the kindergarten and told Zhou He that if she hadn't arrived in the past, she would find a place to sit first.

She should be ready to go out, coaxing the little guy while coaxing Zhou He. Zhou Ji didn't say much and hung up the phone.

She was far away, and there was some traffic jam on the road. It didn't take long for Shu to arrive. Probably afraid that she would not eat breakfast, she brought her breakfast.

Shu Hua has a whole day today, but he is not in a hurry. She is usually busy, and this time she came out, in addition to buying dresses, she also had to prepare gifts for the bride.

The shop where she looked at the dresses was contacted by her in advance, and in addition to selling dresses, the store also sold wedding dresses. Entering the store, Shu Hua looked at the dress under the recommendation of the shopping guide.

After reading a few sets, she thought it was okay and couldn't make up her mind. Zhou He asked her to try them all, and then set the most suitable set.

Shu Hua thought about it for a while, and asked the shopping guide to take two of them to try. She went to try on the dress Zhou He, and there was nothing to do, so she looked at the wedding dress on the side.

The shopping guide lady would not give up any business, and when she saw her looking, she stepped forward and said with a smile: "If you like it, you can also try it." The wedding dresses in our store are all designed by well-known designers. Miss Shu's brother and daughter-in-law also got their wedding dress engaged to us. ”

Zhou He nodded, smiled back, and said, "I'll take a look." ”

The shopping guide is a good person and accompanies her. Seeing that her eyes stayed on the innermost wedding dress, she said softly: "This is designed by the chief designer of our store, you must look good in it." Even if you don't buy it, it's okay to try it. ”

Instead, she treats all unmarried women as customers in the store.

Zhou He withdrew his gaze, still smiling slightly, and said, "No." ”

She was just bored and casually looked, and when she saw that people kept following, she didn't look at it anymore. When I got to the fitting room, I waited for Shu to draw it.

Shu Hua came out not long after, and the first dress was a little revealing. She was a little unaccustomed to it, and soon went to change into a second dress.

The second dress couldn't help but light up when she wore it, and Zhou He said with a smile: "This one is very good." ”

Shu painting is also refreshing, and this one is set. It's just that she's too thin, and the waist of the dress is a little big. The clerk asked her to wait a little longer and change it for her immediately.

Shu Hua quickly changed out of her dress and handed it to the clerk.

Although the clerk brought coffee and dessert thoughtfully, neither of them moved. So sitting dry is boring, Shu Hua got up and looked at the wedding dress, and told Zhou He which one her brother and daughter-in-law ordered. And said that the designers in this store are quite famous, and the business in the store is very good.

She looked at the whim who didn't know how, and asked Zhou He if he wanted to try it.

The clerk was following the two of them, and then pointed to the wedding dress that Zhou He had seen before, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhou must be very beautiful in that one." I'll take it off and try it. ”

Zhou He was embarrassed at this time, and quickly stopped her.

Shu Hua asked the clerk to take it down and try it, and said with a smile: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, anyway, I'll wear it when I get married in the future." Try it now, and when it comes to getting married later, if you like it, you can come here. ”

When she said this, the clerk agreed. I quickly went to take off the wedding dress.

People have already taken it off, and it is obviously impossible not to wear it. Zhou He no longer shirked and went to the fitting room to try on the wedding dress.

She usually wears a T-shirt and jeans, although she is plain, and she is particularly stunning when she wears that wedding dress. Even the clerk lamented that she looked better than the model, as if it was tailor-made for her.

Zhou He was a little uncomfortable being praised by them, but in the end he still looked at himself in the mirror. The white wedding dress on her body is particularly moving, and she is inexplicably a little distracted.

Shu Hua stepped forward, gently tidied up the hem of the wedding dress for her, and said with a slight smile: "Our Ahe should also get married." ”

Zhou He came back to his senses, just smiled, and quickly went to change the wedding dress.

Because the clerk in the store was so enthusiastic, she didn't end up empty-handed, but also bought a dress.

Shu Hua's dress was changed after a while, and the two left the store and went to the mall to pick up gifts.

Gifts for the bride are not easy to choose, and the two of them walked around and did not see a suitable one, so they went to the jewelry area.

The two were strolling, and Zhou He looked up casually. A pair of familiar figures walked in through the doorway.

It was too late for her to avoid it, Wan Qiwen looked over, a sweet and bright smile appeared on her face, and said, "Coincidentally, is Miss Zhou also here to choose jewelry?"

Her hand tightened around Cheng Wei's arm, as if declaring sovereignty.

Cheng Wei's face was pale, and he just nodded when he saw Zhou He.

Zhou He didn't expect to meet the two of them at all, and he nodded and said a coincidence.

Wan Qiwen deliberately showed off, and said: "We are going to choose an engagement ring, and I don't have any female friends, since we have met them, I will ask Miss Zhou and this beauty to help refer to them." She glanced at Cheng Wei with disgust, and said, "Our Mr. Cheng is not good at aesthetics, so he only knows how to pick the big one." ”

This is completely a naked show of affection.

Cheng Wei smiled helplessly, looked at Zhou He and Shu Hua, and said, "Please help Miss Zhou and Sister Shu Hua." ”

Shu Hua's face changed, and he was about to find an excuse to leave. Zhou He grabbed her hand, his face remained unchanged and he smiled slightly.

Wan Qiwen let go of Cheng Wei's hand at this time, and grabbed Zhou He's arm like a good sister, asking Zhou He's opinion while watching.

Although Zhou He didn't like her touch, he let her hold it, as if the two were really good friends, every time Wan Qiwen tried, he gave a serious opinion.

Shu Hua beside him was a little worried, but seeing that Zhou He was casual, he still kept smiling.

Wan Qiwen is proud, every time she tries the ring, and after asking Zhou He, she will ask Cheng Wei with a coquettishness. Zhou He's face remained smiling the whole time, as if he was an outsider.

Xu is really picky, Xu is deliberately picky. Wan Qiwen picked and chosen, and tried for half an hour but still had no results. Cheng Wei was very patient and accompanied him throughout the process. It wasn't until the phone rang that I went out to answer the phone.

He didn't come back after he went, Wan Qiwen waited for a while and complained coquettishly: "Fortunately, with you by your side, men are just impatient." Later, you must admire my face and let me have a treat. ”

She smiled like a flower on her face, if she didn't know, she really thought that the three of them were good friends.

Zhou He smiled faintly and said, "Miss Wan is polite. ”

Wan Qiwen picked for two hours before it was decided. When Cheng Wei went to swipe the card, she grabbed Zhou He's arm again and said, "I know that there is a steak upstairs that is good, Miss Zhou and Miss Shu must appreciate their faces." He's busy and doesn't have time to spend with me, and I haven't eaten with my friends in a long time. ”

She hasn't eaten with her friends for a long time, and she wants to show her affection to the end.

She has to inch in, and Shu Hua is a little annoyed. But he didn't show it, saying that he would pick up the child later.

Wan Qiwen's face showed regret and did not insist anymore. He took out an invitation card and handed it to Zhou He, and said with a slight smile: "We got engaged in a hotel in the center of the city this weekend, I don't have any friends, and I ask Miss Zhou to come over." ”

There was a provocation in her tone.

Zhou He took it, still smiling and saying hello.

Wan Qiwen was like a punch on cotton, and she was unwilling to see Zhou He's embarrassed appearance. Seeing Cheng Wei coming, he grabbed his arm and told Zhou He again to go to the engagement ceremony.

Cheng Wei did not stop her, and politely asked the driver to send Zhou He and Shu Hua.

Shu Hua refused this time, saying that he would continue to shop for a while. Because of Wan Qiwen's interruption, her gift has not been bought until now.

Cheng Wei didn't insist, and thanked the two for accompanying Wan Qiwen to choose a ring. Then let Wan Qiwen hold his arm and leave.

As soon as the two left, the smile on Shu Hua's face could no longer be maintained. looked at Zhou He with annoyance, and said, "You are too easy to bully, she did it on purpose, why do you take care of her?"

I should have rejected the woman just now.

A faint tiredness emerged in Zhou He's eyebrows, she smiled faintly, and said, "It's okay, doesn't she just want to show off? It's just that they finally came out together, and now it's a waste of time." ”

She still looked calm.

Shu Hua was a little worried, and asked in a low voice, "Ah He, are you okay?"

Zhou He was very tired, but he still had a smile on his face, and said, "It's okay." Sister Shuhua, you don't have to worry. It's not early, you can look at the gifts. I'll have to pick up Xiaobao later. ”

Shu Hua wanted to say something, but seeing the tiredness that appeared in her eyebrows, she didn't say anything. I tried my best to divert my attention and pick out something.

She finally picked out a bracelet, and the two of them checked out and left, but she still asked, "Ah He, are you really going to the engagement ceremony?"

Wan Qiwen was completely deliberate, she was simply too deceitful.

Zhou He said jokingly: "There's nothing wrong with going." You can eat and drink for free. ”

Worry appeared on Shu Hua's face.

Zhou He smiled and said seriously: "Sister Shuhua, you really don't have to worry, I'm fine, really." ”

From the tiredness in her eyebrows, you can see that she is really fine.

Shu Hua couldn't guess whether Wan Qiwen really wanted Zhou He to go, for fear that she would be bullied, and said, "If you really want to go, I will accompany you." ”

Since people are deliberately provoking, if they don't go, they will be down. Moreover, if Wan Qiwen really wants her to go, it can be seen from her strength today that she will definitely try her best to let Zhou He go when the time comes.

The most hateful thing is Cheng Wei, he didn't even say anything, and let the woman go.

Shu painting is hateful.

Zhou Ji didn't want her to worry, so he smiled and agreed.

After coming out for such a big day, he only ate breakfast, and Shu Hua was originally going to take Zhou He to eat. But it's time to pick up the little one. Zhou Ji didn't go, urging her to pick up the little guy.

Shu Hua told her to call her when she got home, and then stopped the car and left.

As soon as she walked, tiredness appeared on her face, and she couldn't find a place to go for a while, so she stood there for a while, and then walked along the road.

She didn't go far, and stopped in front of the bus stop to wait for the bus to arrive.

The bus came in a short time, it wasn't rush hour, it was empty, she found a place in the back and sat down, and then looked out the window.

After a long time, she closed her eyes gently. Actually, that's fine. It's just that she didn't expect that person to be Wan Qiwen. She always thought that it would be Han Xin's.

Whoever it is, it has nothing to do with her.

She is not a child, and when she decides, she already knows what the future holds.

When he was still two stops away from home, Zhou He opened his eyes. I was afraid that Li Peiyuan would notice something when I went back, so I cheered up. After getting out of the car, he paused for a moment before getting out of the car.

Cheng Wei probably wanted to please the beauty, and the next day, he even asked his driver to send an invitation here, but this time it was not for Zhou He, but for Li Peiyuan. And sincerely invite them to come. said that the couple had no friends, and this engagement ceremony was held in a very low-key manner, inviting only friends from both sides.

Li Peiyuan's face couldn't see anything, and he simply responded.

The driver had to rush to the next house, and after a brief greeting, he left.

After he left, the courtyard fell silent. Zhou He was looking for something to say, but he couldn't find it for a while. After a minute or two, he said seriously: "Little uncle, you need to prepare clothes." Time is tight, so we'll go out tomorrow. ”

Li Peiyuan didn't say much, and simply responded.

Zhou He thought he was still saying something, but he didn't say anything. Even the topic of dresses quickly brought up.

Although both of them acted as if nothing happened, the atmosphere in the house was still different from usual. Later, even the aunt noticed that something was wrong, and cautiously asked Zhou He if there was something wrong.

Zhou He smiled and said no, and said that she and Li Peiyuan were going out on Saturday, so that Auntie could have a day off if she had something to do that day.
