Chapter Eighty-Eight: Humiliation

After the celebration banquet began, in the banquet hall of Nuoda, no matter where Tranquility was, she would hold Chen Yidong's arm tightly, and when her radiant eyes looked at him, with some gentle water, others could see at a glance that this was definitely a woman who was in love, because she exuded a kind of brilliance brought by love.

Chen Yidong was very patient to accompany her to talk to the people who kept coming forward, with a decent smile on his face, still the handsome appearance in Qing Huan's memory.

How long has it been since she has seen him? Qing Huan stood in a corner of the banquet hall, looking at the pair of beautiful people in the hall in a trance, slowly searching for memories in her mind, yes, she hadn't seen this man since that hot morning, even on the Internet, she hadn't checked any news about him, and her brain seemed to automatically block everything about him.

thought that time could slowly smooth everything out, and thought that it had been so long, she should have calmed down a long time ago, and thought that when she met again, she would already be able to treat him as a passerby, but after seeing him and the woman next to him at this moment, Qing Huan only felt that she wanted to die...... It turned out that there was no difference between the two hundred days and one day that left him.

Suddenly, she couldn't hear anything in her ears, only her own dry breathing. She stared at them in a daze, unable to move.

As if aware, Chen Yidong suddenly turned his head slowly, looked in the direction of her, and then his eyes were shocked. And Ningxia, who has been holding him intimately, is unaware, still smiling and laughing with the people around him.

The two of them looked at each other quietly for a moment.

When Qing Huan looked at him, a twisted pleasure even rose in her heart - what was it like to find out that her ex-girlfriend was present in such a situation? Therefore, she stared at Chen Yidong deadly, and her eyes did not dodge for a moment.

Chen Yidong looked at her, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes very quickly, and his body shook for a moment, but he remained motionless.

Yingying's water vapor gradually blurred her eyes, and Qing Huan suddenly felt that she was so stupid, didn't everything he did at the beginning represent everything? What was he expecting at this time? Did he expect him to come over and explain to him that everything before was a misunderstanding? He had never said goodbye without saying a word?

She smiled bitterly, wiped tears from her face, then lowered her head, turned and walked away quickly.

As soon as she walked to the door of the hotel, she heard the sound of rain, Qinghuan did not hesitate for a moment, and rushed directly into the rain curtain, at first, she walked very steadily, gradually, the faster she walked, and then kept walking, it was dark, and there were many cars on the road. In this bustling city, there are tall buildings everywhere and passers-by everywhere. She watched as the rain flowed down the road one by one. It flowed to her feet, into the gutter out of nowhere.

Qing Huan cried as she walked, and her face couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, and she couldn't see the rain or this strange and familiar city. She didn't know where she was going, she was like a lost person who suddenly lost her future, and she didn't know where to go.

Qing Huan walked along this dark road all the way forward. I don't know how long I walked, but the rain stopped and the street lights were dim. She stood in the middle of the city, but she didn't know where she was. Just then, the phone rang. At first, she didn't answer. But it kept ringing, and finally she took it out and saw that it was Su Jing calling, and she remembered that she forgot to tell her when she left.

"Hey, Sue. "Her voice, very dry, very bitter.

"Qinghuan, where have you been? I'm looking for you everywhere. Su Jing's voice sounded a little anxious.

"It's okay, I think the hotel is a little stuffy, so I went out for a walk. ”

"Walking around alone?" Su Jing suddenly raised her voice, "My aunt, you are deliberately making me feel bad, the security in the United States is not very good, you don't run around alone." ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine, just take a taxi back to the hotel where we stay, you can play slowly, leave me alone." Qing Huan said slowly.

Su Jing was silent for a while before sighing helplessly, "Okay, then you hurry back to the hotel and send me a message when you get to the room." ”

"Good. ”

This night, Chen Yidong slept for a long time and deeply. When I woke up, my head ached with a dull ache after a hangover. Outside the window, it was still raining, and it was gloomy and gloomy like night. He sat at the head of the bed, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and the events of last night came to his mind, and he never thought that he would meet Qinghuan here.

When she turned to leave, he actually wanted to push Ningxia away and catch up, because he could see from her sad and desperate eyes how sad and painful she was at that moment. But just as he was about to caress Tranquility's hand, the assistant stepped forward from behind and whispered a word next to him.

At that time, Chen Yidong suddenly calmed down, yes, he must remember his identity, and he can't do anything that disgraces the family on such an occasion, otherwise the last person to take the blame will still be Qinghuan. Mother will definitely count all this on Qinghuan's head. There is nowhere to vent the depression in her heart, so she yi.

……

But is he really going to lose her like this?

Chen Yidong rubbed his eyebrows, picked up his phone from the side, flipped to her name, and watched in the dim light. Suddenly, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she hit her, what should she say? Tell her about her troubles? Ask for her forgiveness, and then let her wait for herself, and when she is no longer tied up in family affairs, she will definitely return to her?

Anxiety was like the dampness in the room, fermenting in his heart. He sat expressionlessly, grabbed his phone and slammed it on the ground. And then there is silence, the deepest silence of a man.

Family, Mother, Rival, Tranquility...... Many people and things passed through his mind, but in the end, it was fixed on Qing Huan's stubborn face, when he first met her, in the cold night, she stubbornly pushed away the man in front of her, trying her best to retain her self-esteem. On the night of that birthday dinner, when he sent her home, in the taxi, he saw in the rearview mirror, she leaned back in the chair, although there was pain in her eyes, but there was still unwilling stubbornness, that sunny afternoon, she looked at herself stubbornly, and told him that she would not give up even if she had a little hope, because at least she had tried.

Chen Yidong suddenly felt a slight pain in his chest and abdomen, got up and got out of bed, and picked up the phone again. He stood in front of the window and watched the rain. What came to mind was the expression on her face as she stood there last night, looking at him, and those sad, quiet eyes.

No, he must not lose her like this, Chen Yidong suddenly turned around, picked up his coat, and strode outside without hesitation.

In the café, Qing Huan took a sip of coffee, and the slightly bitter taste slowly spread in his chest. Then he raised his wrist and glanced at the time, which was only ten minutes away from the agreed time.

Her heart was beating a little uneasily, and her palms holding the coffee cup were a little sweaty.

After a while, a woman in a suit walked in at the door, she looked around the door, and when she saw Qing Huan, she walked straight over and sat opposite her.

"Are you?" Qinghua looked at her in surprise, and said on the phone that Chen Yidong's mother wanted to see her, but the woman in front of her looked only in her early thirties, not like his mother.

"I am Mr. Chen's assistant, to be precise, the Chen family should have asked me to be Mr. Chen's assistant to help him deal with some things in life. The woman lifted her glasses, "It's true that Madame wants to see you, but she's not in California, so she'll video call you, she's probably ...... You'll be connected in three minutes. ”

Qing Huan sat there in a daze, looking a little unresponsive.

But before she could respond, the tablet in the woman's hand rang, and after she connected it, she used the screen to directly point at Qinghuan. There is already a picture above, a woman in her forties, well-maintained, sitting in the back seat of the car, slowly looking up at Qing Huan, although through the screen, Qing Huan can still feel a chill transmitted from the video.

"You're Gu Qinghuan, right?" Mother Chen looked at her sharply, and without waiting for her to respond, she spoke indifferently, "I came to you today, mainly because I want to make it clear to you, please don't disturb my son's life anymore, he is already engaged, and the wedding date is next year, in other words, he is also a person who is about to start a family, not the object that you women can still think about......"

These women, what are these women? Qing Huan's heart suddenly shrank in pain, she raised her head, and said with a pale face: "Mrs. Chen, I think you made a mistake, I didn't harass Chen Yidong. ”

"Oh, if not, how could you have just appeared at last night's banquet? If I'm not mistaken, you should have been in New York, right? With such a coincidence, a person who was supposed to be in New York would suddenly appear in California and happen to be at a dinner party that Yi Dong attended?" I understand that you are unwilling, and you are reluctant to end up with Yi Dong like this, and you want to redeem it, but Miss Gu, please understand one thing, our Chen family will never allow a woman like you to enter the door, men, like freshness, greedy for fun, this everyone understands, it's okay to play before getting married, but we will never allow him to get married, and some of the old accounts before are not clear. I'm here today to help him put this matter to an end, and even if you make your offer, as long as you promise not to appear in front of him again, I will try my best to satisfy your ......."

These words were like dense freezing points, smashing on Qing Huan's body one by one, cold and piercing. My heart seemed to go numb with pain. She never understood that one person's humiliation of another could reach such a degree. The other party didn't even bother to appear, just through the video, he could stab her to the skin.
