Chapter 148: Something Happened
After listening to Xiaoxi's words, Qing Huan was silent for a moment before asking, "Are these news accurate?"
"Of course, he's not a big star, and no one has the time to fabricate these things to frame him," Konishi said disapprerovingly, "Later, after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts, he changed a lot of financiers, but none of them had the arrogance he has now, and they actually held this art exhibition for him, or no one took him seriously like his current financier." β
The ridicule in Xiaoxi's words became more and more obvious, Qing Huan's face gradually sank, she never thought that Zhou Ran would have such a reputation, is all this Su Jing still in the dark?
Seeing that Qing Huan's face had become very bad, Xiao Xi couldn't help but speak with some doubts, "Sister Qing Huan, what's wrong with you?"
Qing Huan took a deep breath, and then slowly pulled out a smile, "It's nothing, I suddenly felt a little dizzy just now, but now it's much better." β
Xiaoxi said "oh", stopped talking about Zhou Ran, and chatted with Qing Huan about a lot of previous things, and after exchanging contact information with each other, he left to find his friends first.
Soon after Xiaoxi left, Chen Yidong arrived, he just stood in the foyer for a while, a reporter recognized him, remembered his previous and Ning Ning's things, his eyes became more and more strange, some had already picked up the camera to follow the shot, in desperation, he had to send a message to Qing Huan, and then turned around and avoided into the VIP lounge.
After receiving the message, Qing Huan hurried over, and was still a little out of breath when he pushed open the door of the lounge: "Have you waited for a long time?"
Chen Yidong looked up at her, she came directly from the company today, but she didn't dress up much, just a shirt and a knee-high skirt, but she spent a little bit of thought on hairstyle and jewelry, like pearls on earrings, low-key, but the brilliance is hidden. He often remembers the first time he met her, she was not very particular about dressing, always the simplest clothes and trousers, changed to jeans on the weekend, and then ran around, full of vitality and energy. Gradually, she will dress up, and she will control different styles for different occasions, and she will be radiant and low-key elegant. She has been working hard, and she never retreats when her head is broken, and sometimes looking at her, he occasionally has such thoughts, such as wanting to place her properly by his side, no longer experiencing the wind and rain outside, and only blooming for him alone......
Chen Yidong stretched out his hand and pushed her fallen hair back behind her ears, and said with a smile: "No, I just arrived." β
Qing Huan nodded, took his hand and sighed and said, "Since a reporter has recognized you, why don't we go back first, and I'll go talk to Su Jing." β
"Wouldn't it be nice to just come and leave?"
"It's okay, she should be able to understand. Qing Huan said absent-mindedly.
Chen Yidong seemed to see that she had something on her mind, and asked softly, "What's wrong?
Qing Huan sighed and waved his hand, "It's nothing, you wait for me here now, I'll go to Su Jing and say we'll leave." β
Chen Yidong nodded, and then watched her push the door and walk out.
When Qing Huan found Su Jing, she was chatting with some so-called collectors, she was dressed up to attend today, the dress was a haute couture model at Fashion Week, the makeup was also gorgeous, her eyes were bright, and she naturally became the focus of the audience, which was Su Jing's charm, and it was also the reason why she could easily attract the attention of the opposite sex when she was in New York.
Qing Huan stood a few steps away from her, looking at Su Jing who was so radiant, remembering what Xiaoxi had told him just now, her eyes gradually became a little complicated.
Su Jing saw her when she turned her head, and after saying hello to the people around her, she walked straight to her, and said with some disgust: "Why did you come?"
"I just came over, and when I saw that you were busy, I went to see the exhibition first. Qing Huan said with a smile.
"Have you been in there before?" Su Jing covered her mouth and smiled, "Then you should have seen all those paintings, how about it? Our family Zhou Ran is still a little talented, right?"
"The painting is pretty good," Qing Huan hooked the corners of his lips, but there was no warmth in the depths of his eyes, "It's just that I just met a friend in it and heard her say something." β
"What's the matter?" asked Su Jing looking at her with interest.
Qing Huan pursed her lips, and just when she wanted to say something, she suddenly heard Zhou Ran's voice behind her: "My dear, why are you still here, let us go over there to take pictures." β
Su Jing turned around and saw Zhou Ran walking towards them, so she had to pinch Qing Huan's arm apologetically, "I'm really busy today, why don't we get together again after the exhibition is over?"
Qing Huan looked at Su Jing sideways, then glanced at Zhou Ran, who had already walked in front of the two of them, and then chuckled, "I came here to say hello to you, there are still some things on the company's side, I may not wait for the exhibition to end, I have to leave first later." β
"That's right," Su Jing showed a look of disappointment, "Then we'll have to make an appointment another day." β
Qing Huan nodded lightly, "Well, let's make an appointment another day." β
After finishing speaking, Su Jing and Zhou Ran walked towards the entrance of the foyer of the exhibition, Qing Huan stood in place and looked at them, sighed slightly in his heart, and then turned around to find Chen Yidong.
When the two drove away from the hotel together, Qing Huan looked at the deep night outside the car window, and the city at this time revealed a different kind of silence and heaviness, just like her mood at the moment, pressing on her heart, making people feel a little breathless.
"Qinghuan, you have something on your mind. Chen Yidong took her hand while driving, rubbed it slowly with his fingers, and spoke in a low voice.
Qing Huan subconsciously turned his head and smiled stiffly: "No." β
"When you have something on your mind, you bite your lower lip......" He pinched her lightly, with a slight warm body temperature, and glanced at her lips with a smile, "The tooth marks on your lips are all red, don't you feel it?"
His tone was so determined and pampered, at this moment, Qing Huan only felt that his heart was suddenly soft, and he really wanted to tell him what he had just done at the art exhibition, and then listen to his advice, but seeing a trace of tiredness between his eyebrows, she still couldn't say it, during this time the affairs of his family had made him too busy to get rid of it, and he didn't seem to be bothering him with these things anymore, so she quickly looked away: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the company's affairs." β
Chen Yidong sighed lightly when he heard this, "Give me another month, and when everything is settled, you won't work as hard as you do now." β
Qing Huan was stunned for a moment, and leaned his head on his shoulder, "It's okay, you can take care of the affairs at home, the company has me......"
Chen Yidong didn't speak, but held her hand a little tighter, and the car drove in the streamer of the city, the hustle and bustle was on the side, and it was as quiet as a dream.
For the next period of time, Qing Huan and Chen Yidong were very busy, and the company's affairs were also going on in an orderly manner, the progress of research and development had come to an end, and overtime had become the norm.
And Chen Yidong's family basically didn't tell Qing Huan much, she also asked a few times, but he always pulled her in his arms, smiled slightly and asked her not to worry, saying that there was about to have a result, although he always looked like a light and breezy expression, but Qing Huan got up a few times in the morning, she could always see the ashtray on the balcony full of cigarette butts, she knew in her heart that in fact, this matter may not be as easy as he said, but she didn't want to worry too much, so she always comforted her like thatγ
And this is also the first time Qing Huan feels that his world, in fact, he really doesn't fully understand, especially about his family, it is like a very thick gauze curtain separated from himself, separating the people of the two worlds so clearly......
On a weekend morning, Qinghuan opened the floor-to-ceiling window and walked to the balcony, the air was so cold that she took a breath and poured it into her lungs, as if with the fragrance of snowflakes.
As if remembering something, she stretched and returned to the living room, took out her mobile phone and dialed Su Jing, the phone beeped, but no one answered.
Qing Huan raised her wrist and glanced at her watch a little strangely, it was already 10 o'clock, it stands to reason that Su Jing had already gone to the restaurant at this time, there was no reason not to answer the phone? After she hung up the phone, she went to the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee, and then came out to dial again, but no one answered all the time.
She stood with the coffee for a while, feeling a little relieved for some reason, so she decided to go to Su Jing's house.
Qing Huan had the password to the gate of Su Jing's house, and went in directly. This apartment was newly bought by her, and not long after she moved in, she knew that Su Jing was actually at home as soon as she looked at the shoes at the door, and shouted when she stood at the door: "Su Jing, I know you are at home, I came in?"
There was no sound in the apartment, Qing Huan took off her shoes and strode into the room barefoot.
Su Jing was really there, just a person nesting in the chaise longue by the floor-to-ceiling window, but the curtains were drawn tightly, and there was no light in the room at all, as if it was late at night.
Qing Huan opened the door, the light fell in, and she shrank in the chair like a frightened little animal. Qing Huan and her have been best friends for so many years, and their personalities and habits have long been figured out, and the uneasiness in her heart has become more and more intense, she slowed down, and then slowly walked towards Su Jing.
