Chapter 2 The Past of Cannes (2-in-1 Revised Version)
This chapter is a super chapter, a two-in-one modified version, which is particularly important
Chen Ying's wedding dress is as white as snow, with a graceful figure, a melon seed face, slender eyebrows, and eyes like a pool of clear water, elegant and beautiful people are as light as chrysanthemums. Under the change of romantic lighting on the scene, it is even more glamorous.
But at this moment, she seems to have forgotten her identity as a bride and all the indifference on her body, just struggling forward with tears like rain, letting the bridesmaids behind her drag on, and she was unmoved.
The song was like a source of some kind of magic that made her irresistible want to rush to the stage, even if it didn't make sense.
How can the bride rush up by herself before the groom comes to the stage?
But Chen Ying couldn't care so much anymore, she just wanted to rush up and ask the singing man immediately.
Is it true that what he sings?
He had all the disdain for her, all the flirtatiousness, all the alienation, all the deviations, including the first time in his life a few months ago that Li Youyang punched and kicked her out of their rooftop hut
Is it all because he wants to leave with peace of mind, so as to find a happy harbor, not to be in a dilemma, but also to create the best medical conditions for his biological father, and to let himself feel at ease and fulfill his filial piety?
Why didn't he say it then, why did he sing such a song at his wedding today?
What does he mean?
Did he regret it?
Is he trying to tell me that he still loves me and wants to take me away?
But if you want to take me away, then come and tell me!
18 years! 18 years from childhood to adulthood! What else can't you tell me?
To put it mildly, the parents who have just known each other for half a year are not very familiar with the family environment, and they can't compare with the mutual affection between you and me in the past 18 years.
Treating my father is just a reason that no one can refute, but it doesn't mean that you have to marry Ji Shaokang to solve this problem, it's just an excuse between you and me!
If you hadn't forced me to leave in a crazy way without an explanation, how would I have married Ji Shaokang today?
You always owe me an explanation, but you never give me an explanation.
So, today, seeing that everything is irreparable, are you willing to explain it to me?
It's just that
Why did you just step off the stage?
Almost, almost I can walk in front of you!
Why, why are you going down?
Why are you pulling him down!
No, you must be hiding something from me! I always felt like you were hiding something from me!
We can't be so vague anymore! We must ask these things clearly today!
Chen Ying ran in the direction that Li Youyang left while thinking, but she didn't expect a pair of big hands to hold down her shoulders, so powerful, and so persistent!
Chen Ying trembled, and finally turned her cheeks with tears to look at the simple face and this excellent man beside her!
Ji Shaokang, the man she is about to marry!
Ji Shaokang finally grabbed his bride, and at the same time persuaded his relatives and friends who were preparing to go all the way, although he was also a little angry.
But thinking about it, he could only smile helplessly, even if it was a scene, he was cocooning himself, although he knew that Chen Ying didn't love him, but he still took it upon himself to marry Chen Ying.
All of this is actually a drama for him up to now
Soon after Chen Ying went to work in the secretary office of Shaokang Group, Ji Shaokang started this scene directed by himself.
Chen Ying is a girl who is as pure as water and has a lot of personality but has no scheming, she dares to be angry and speaks out! She doesn't care about Ji Shaokang's identity, his status, or his wealth, the only thing she cares about is a man named Li Youyang.
Of course, this is also what Ji Shaokang values the most, from the first time Ji Shaokang saw Chen Ying, he knew that this girl was the person he had been looking for in the past few years, a person who could help him realize that plan.
The first step in realizing this plan is that this girl named Chen Ying must become his wife, and then Chen Ying must sign the word "permission" and her name on a very special statement.
Why did you choose Chen Ying, first, this woman doesn't love him, this girl can accept him to give her a lot of money, but she doesn't need him to give her a lifetime; second, this woman has no ambition for him; third, this woman's special life experience makes him more sure that this girl has no ambition for her.
Ji Shaokang is a Cannes tycoon, although he is only 32 years old now, he has total assets of nearly 300 million yuan, and he can take out at least 50 million liquidity at any time all year round. His Ji Shaokang's name has even emerged in the domestic capital market, even if Shaokang Group is not listed, it is also an absolute tyrant in this era, and it has been reported by various media, and the most important thing is that he is still unmarried!
What kind of concept is this? This concept is that Ji Shaokang casually hooked his fingers, and countless women threw themselves into his arms, rushing to become Mrs. Ji. In fact, over the years, Ji Shaokang has been unbridled in flowers and read countless women, but he found that there is no woman who can really go to his heart, and the reasons are almost the same, whether it is a lady who is in the right household, or an occasional heart-warming girl, the ultimate goal is either to covet the Shaokang Group by family arrangement, or to marry into a wealthy family and live the life of Mrs. Kuo.
Why did you find that after you reached the pinnacle of your life, you found that there was no woman you could love with confidence?
Although Ji Shaokang was puzzled, he did not hand over his marriage to his family, but lingered in the flowers on the one hand, and looked for it seriously on the other.
He believes that he will be able to find a woman who loves him and loves him, and there is only pure love between them, without too much money relationship.
Maybe there is a will, there is a way, in the vast sea of people, he really met such a woman, they love each other, and they plan to be together for a lifetime.
Of course, this woman is not Chen Ying.
But when Ji Shaokang wanted to marry this woman, he was opposed by everyone, and even the collective protest of the family meeting.
Because this woman has a history of marriage, her ex-husband has died for many years, leaving only a boy who is now five years old. Although Shaokang Group is located in Cannes, in general, it is still a branch of the Ji Foundation, one of the three major business giants in China.
Although Shaokang Group is Ji Shaokang's independent industry, his identity is the fifth brother of the Ji Foundation, the third Ji Taoran, known as Tao Rangong's youngest grandson, and Ji Ruolin is Tao Rangong's youngest granddaughter.
It can be regarded as a family experience, when the brother and sister returned from studying abroad, they got the 1 million start-up capital given by the family, and through unremitting efforts in just five years, the brothers and sisters did not use any other forces of the family, and created a dominant Shaokang Group led by the breeding industry in Cannes, Ji Shaokang also temporarily emerged in the domestic capital market, and won the title of the newcomer king in the general election within the family for ten years!
Ji Shaokang can not be said to be unsuccessful, but his success still can't let him marry the woman he loves. Just because this woman was married, her husband died, and she left a child. This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed in a family meeting, which not only involves the face of a family, but also involves the problem of a family industry.
The woman's name is Meng Shuzhen and she has a five-year-old son named Fan Xiaobao.
Once this woman and Ji Shaokang get married, it's okay not to divorce, but once divorced, according to the law, she will take away at least half of Ji Shaokang's assets, which is just one of them. Second, does this boy named Fan Xiaobao have the right to inherit? He does not have the right to inherit Ji Shaokang's property, but he at least has the right to inherit the property of her mother Meng Shuzhen! And once Meng Shuzhen becomes Ji Shaokang's wife, then as a wife, she has the right to inherit her husband's property!
To put it mildly, once Ji Shaokang has three longs and two shorts, then Ji Shaokang's industry may completely fall on this boy named Fan Xiaobao, and this kind of consequence is the last thing the family meeting wants to see!
Of course, with the strength of the Ji family, these risks can be avoided by various means, and even Ji Shaokang has discussed with the family meeting that Meng Shuzhen can give up all inheritance rights, not meddle in all the affairs of the Shaokang Group, and only be a full-time wife at home. But the family meeting still did not pass, in fact, everything was an excuse, and the main reason was that it was impossible to accept a foreign woman who brought someone else's child into the Shaokang Group.
There is a very old tradition of the Ji Consortium, that is, the purity of the bloodline must be ensured, and no one outside the Ji bloodline can appear in the management of any branch, this child named Fan Xiaobao, although it is too early to say anything, but what about ten or twenty years later? No one dares to guarantee whether he will occupy a seat in the management of the Ji family.
Even if it's a small possibility, it's a possibility. Rather than explicit efforts to solve this problem at that time, it is better to kill this bud now.
Besides, even if Meng Shuzhen gives up all her property to combine with Ji Shaokang, then what can she bring to the Shaokang Group? It is better to let Ji Shaokang marry a well-known lady, which will be a big help for both families, why not?
One is to maintain the purity of the bloodline, and the other is because of the view of the portal, the larger the consortium, the more it will consider, and the more it hopes that the marriage of the children of the family will be subject to the arrangement.
Therefore, the family meeting collectively voted not to agree to Ji Shaokang's marriage, and even said to Ji Shaokang that once he insisted on marrying this woman, even if the Shaokang Group was Ji Shaokang's own, he would not hesitate to annex the Shaokang Group, and then let the other children of the family take care of it again.
Ji Shaokang believes that this family meeting can be done,
Arrogant, domineering, unreasonable,
All big families are in this style, or it is necessary.
And he can't give everything he has worked hard for, and he really gives it to others.
This is not his style, he will not leave the house as described in the novel, and then wander the world with the woman he loves, and be with him for the rest of his life.
This is beautiful, but it is not Ji Shaokang's pursuit.
Is it true that you can't have both fish and bear's paws? Although Ji Shaokang was in a predicament, he never forgot to look for it and find a way out
And he was really lucky, and this path was found so quickly, that is, to find another girl who could ignore all his aura and give up all his possessions, and let this girl sign a special decree that was very magical in this country.
Therefore, Chen Ying also fell into Ji Shaokang's sight
And this decree is enough to silence anyone in the family meeting, because once Chen Ying signs this decree, Meng Shuzhen, as a latecomer, has no inheritance rights in law. And at that time, Meng Shuzhen's joining will not be criticized by anyone, after all, the eldest woman agrees, and everyone else will stand aside! As for whether Chen Ying will really live with him for the rest of his life in the future, or divorce him later, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that if everything can come true, then he can give Meng Shuzhen a name and stay together for a lifetime!
Ji Shaokang thought very well, and he did it, and at the same time, in order to make it all seem more real, he didn't even tell anyone, and started all kinds of fanatical pursuits for Chen Ying, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the classic episode of President Huaxin falling in love with the little secretary, and in Ji Shaokang's heart, it is a layout, paving his beautiful life.
However, when he did this, Ji Shaokang was also very worried, what if Chen Ying did not agree to his proposal, or what if this girl also fell in love with him, so in this process, he still hoped to find an opportunity to explain this matter to Chen Ying, hoping that this girl could help him.
But such an opportunity was not obtained at all, and even Chen Ying submitted his resignation to him in the end!
Of course, he didn't approve it, and he even felt very gratified, the girl he found was really good! This girl really didn't covet everything of herself, but had her own persistence. So he wanted to make a final attempt, and if it really didn't work, then give up.
Go find the next girl to do it for you, and you'll definitely find it
may be that God was moved by his sincerity, just when he was about to give up on this girl, he didn't expect that one day this girl's real boyfriend Li Youyang found him, saying that he hoped that he could give Chen Ying happiness, because Chen Ying's biological father was seriously ill and hospitalized, if he loved Chen Ying, he hoped to marry her and treat her father.
How can a man send a girlfriend away?
Li Youyang, he knows this man, after all, since he has included Chen Ying in the most important part of his plan, then Chen Ying's social relationship must also be figured out.
Therefore, everything about Li Youyang and Li Yiyi was quickly known by him, Li Youran, Chen Ying, and Li Yiyi all came out of the same orphanage in Cannes, lived together, went to school together, grew up together, and went through ups and downs together for 18 years, and the friendship between the three is definitely the most difficult emotion in the world. Even if there is no blood relationship between them, the emotion between these three people, Ji Shaokang has enough reason to believe that it is the life and death that blood is thicker than blood!
In particular, the emotion between Li Youyang and Chen Ying, once it turns from family affection to love, then it will be a lifetime of watching each other, and no one can break up! He is in love with Meng Shuzhen, and he has even begun to rack his brains for Meng Shuzhen, so he can understand this emotion better.
Ji Shaokang didn't plan to break up this relationship, and even the fact that Chen Ying and Li Youyang were in love made him worry about this matter. Therefore, in his original thoughts, he hoped to sit down with Chen Ying and even Li Youyang to talk about this matter, he could give the two of them a lot of money, but he hoped that after Chen Ying and Li Youyang took the money, they could help him perform this scene, let Chen Ying and him get the certificate - hold a wedding - sign, and then Chen Ying gave up all his property, divorced him, and finally spent a good moon with Li Youyang, and he Ji Shaokang could live with his beloved woman Meng Shuzhen for the rest of his life, and in the end it can be said that everyone is happy, why not?
It's a pity that Chen Ying was as scared as a tiger at that time, and Ji Shaokang couldn't find any good opportunities. Unexpectedly, now Li Youyang actually found it in person, which made Ji Shaokang really overjoyed.
Although he didn't know why Li Youyang did this, and he was not interested in knowing why Li Youyang did this, Ji Shaokang knew that his plan had half of the hope of success from the moment Li Youyang said this
Moreover, Li Youyang then said that after he went back, he would use all kinds of means to let Chen Ying leave, and what Ji Shaokang needed to do was to seize the opportunity to gain Chen Ying's favor as soon as possible, marry her as soon as possible, and at the same time save Chen Ying's father, so that Chen Ying could live happily.
When he said this, Ji Shaokang could feel that Li Youyang was discouraged, in fact, he really wanted to ask Li Youyang why he did this, in fact, he also asked at the beginning, but Li Youyang just waved his hand and asked him not to ask, of course, not to check, because it would not only be useless, but would even affect Chen Ying's plan to marry him.
In short, at that time, Li Youyang just told himself that as long as he could give Chen Ying a happy life in the future, he didn't have to worry about the rest, and he didn't care.
Li Youyang said it firmly, but Ji Shaokang knew that he must have something unspeakable, and if there was nothing unspeakable, how could he come over and hand over his beloved girlfriend's life to another man?
However, out of respect for this man at that time, Ji Shaokang really didn't ask again, and he didn't check it again in the future. didn't even tell Li Youyang about the original plan, because if Li Youyang has something unspeakable, then his Ji Shaokang's plan is a bigger secret, as long as it is a secret, then naturally one less person knows it, and it is best to know it yourself.
From this point of view, he and Li Youyang are both unscrupulous people who want their beloved woman to be happy, the difference is that Li Youyang is completely let go, and he Ji Shaokang must work hard to grab it! This is also related to personal strength, Li Youyang is just fighting small people, and he Ji Shaokang is a tycoon in Kangcheng
To be honest, Ji Shaokang admired Li Youyang very much at that time, not every man is so rational and knows how to make trade-offs in front of his love.
I can't give it, so I will give it to you, as long as this woman can be happy in the second half of her life, as long as this woman's family can be safe!
So, will Chen Ying really be happy?
Ji Shaokang didn't know, because he knew that he couldn't give Chen Ying happiness, his happiness could only be given to Meng Shuzhen, and Chen Ying was just a necessary means for him to achieve this goal, he could only give Chen Ying a large sum of money as compensation, but he would not give her a lifetime of happiness.
So in the end, just as Li Youyang said, Chen Ying was very depressed in the following days, and at the same time gradually accepted some of Ji Shaokang's actions, such as having lunch together, or accepting flowers or gifts from Ji Shaokang, and finally accepted her proposal.
At the same time, she also moved out of the rooftop cottage where she used to live with Li Youyang and Li Yiyi, and was taken by her sister Ji Ruolin to the apartment where she lived alone, and the two women have lived together since then.
Sometimes the friendship between women comes quickly, just like her sister Ji Ruolin, as the financial director of Shaokang Group, and the actual second chairman, actually had a hot fight with the newcomer Chen Ying during this time, protecting Chen Ying everywhere, and even the two quickly became best friends. She has another property in Cannes, so although the brother and sister are not married, Ji Ruolin and Ji Shaokang still live separately, so before Ji Shaokang and Chen Ying got married, Ji Ruolin took Chen Ying into the apartment where she lived on her own initiative.
For this kind of arrangement, Ji Shaokang naturally couldn't ask for it, but at the beginning, although Ji Ruolin and Chen Ying could become best friends, it didn't mean that she could accept Chen Ying as her sister-in-law. And from the beginning, he made it clear that he was against Chen Ying being with him, and the reason was very simple, Chen Ying told her that she had no feelings for herself at all, and she didn't want her brother to marry a woman who didn't love her. At the same time, Ji Ruolin also said that even the family meeting may not support him to marry Chen Ying, because the difference between the two identities is too big, although it is not as strong as the opposition of him who wanted to marry Meng Shuzhen, but what the family meeting hopes is that he can marry a daughter who is a good family and will help the Ji family's career.
As a result, as Ji Ruolin said, when the news that he was about to marry Chen Ying reached the family, the family meeting was again, and some people said that Chen Ying's life experience was too miserable from the orphanage, even if it was found that Chen Ying's biological parents found her not long ago, and the family was reunited. But soon after, I learned that Chen Ying's biological father was sick in bed and needed a huge amount of money for treatment. The bleak fate of this kind of woman may also bring misfortune to the Shaokang Group. In addition, some people say that Chen Ying now has a boyfriend, her boyfriend's name is Li Youyang, and they grew up together since childhood, who knows if he has been a big green hat for him all these years!
It's just that these people obviously ignored Ji Shaokang's determination this time, he and a woman like Meng Shuzhen who has children can love to die and live, plus what kind of innocent school girl hasn't touched over the years? Now he is longing for a true love and the happiness of the two of them for a lifetime, so how can he care about these things?
With a wave of his hand, he decisively got the certificate with Chen Ying and got married! Then he planned to communicate with Chen Ying slowly and realize his final plan. It's just that the bad consequences will follow, but it is a hundred times better than when he wanted to marry Meng Shuzhen with great fanfare. It stands to reason that the wedding scene of a character like him must be very grand, and representatives of various industries in the family will come to congratulate him, and some celebrities will also be invited. But because of the family's lack of support, Ji Shaokang's wedding this time was only limited to the area of Cannes, and all the people who came were some industry insiders in Cannes, and none of their relatives and friends came except for Ji Ruolin.
The meaning of the family is that I don't object to it this time, but don't think I support it, you can just play it yourself.
Therefore, although the wedding was arranged in the Shaokang Group's own Cannes Bichao Luxury Hotel, it can be said that the grade is also very high, but for his identity it is extremely low-key, although there are many people who come to congratulate him, but there is no crowd of people, and most of the gifts are thousands of dollars, in addition to the local media in Cannes, there are a lot of big people who really have heads and faces, and Qin Taosheng, the music director of Capital Yihai Records, who is discussing cooperation intentions with Shaokang Group, is still uninvited.
But the more low-key, but in line with Ji Shaokang's appetite, the less people pay attention to my marriage, the better, so that I can best lay out and carefully realize the plan. But to make such a big game, Ji Shaokang knew that it was not enough to rely on himself, so in the end, he didn't tell Chen Ying about this plan, because he also figured it out, once he told Chen Ying, can Chen Ying help him talk about it, in case Chen Ying runs to Li Youyang to talk about this matter again, then what will Li Youyang react to? No matter what reaction, there will be changes, so he decided to hide Chen Ying too, only in this way can this scene be more realistic!
But he had to find someone to help him do this together, because before marrying Chen Ying, in order to dispel Chen Ying's worries, and also to compensate the girl in the future, he took the initiative to give Chen Ying a gift of one million, and arranged the best treatment for Chen Ying's biological father, and then agreed to Chen Ying's request that he thought for a long time before he spoke, Chen Ying said that Li Youyang is now poor and Li Yiyi can't take the next meal, so he hopes that Ji Shaokang can let the brother and sister come to the scene to celebrate the performance, and at the same time give them a performance fee。
Ji Shaokang said in his heart that this was originally acting, and in the end, Li Youyang took the initiative to promote it, so he naturally wouldn't make any moths at the wedding, and it would be a small compensation to give him some money, so he happily agreed to Chen Ying's request, saying that he would give Li Youyang 50,000 yuan for the performance fee, and he would transfer it the next day.
All of this is about to come naturally under Ji Shaokang's design, and what is needed in the end is only an important link, that is, the person he wants to find who can help him do this. And this person is his sister Ji Ruolin, so he then told Ji Ruolin all the plans. On the one hand, Ji Ruolin was one of the few people who supported her to go to Meng Shuzhen at that time, and in his sister's heart, she always thought that it was true happiness to be able to spend her life with someone who loved each other, so she was on her side at that time;
Therefore, whether it is Chen Ying's 1 million gift money, or Chen Ying's father's medical expenses, or even the 50,000 yuan to Li Youyang, Ji Ruolin has to let Ji Ruolin know, plus such a big plan, if there is really no one to share it, Ji Shaokang is really worried that he will not be able to do it well. So, he told Ji Ruolin. And Ji Ruolin's performance was also in his expectations, first shocked, and then violently opposed, and finally couldn't withstand his own soft grinding and hard bubbles, or felt that the relationship between himself and Meng Shuzhen was too difficult, and he wanted to make the second half of his brother's life perfect, so he agreed, and at the same time promised himself that he would definitely help hide it from Chen Ying, everything was clear, and when it was complete, he would give Chen Ying a surprise.
And in the end, Ji Shaokang told his most beloved woman Meng Shuzhen about this matter, on the one hand, everything he did was for her, he didn't want to hide it from Meng Shuzhen, and on the other hand, it was also to reassure the woman he loved, the wedding was fake, and only his love for her was real.
In ancient times, there were also the princes of the Beacon Opera, Song Huizong dug a secret road for Master Li, Wu Sangui was angry for the crown and was angry, what about these big scenes, and now I Ji Shaokang can do it for the sake of my beloved woman?
Therefore, Meng Shuzhen really cried for a long time that day and was moved, and Ji Shaokang also laughed for a long time and was happy!
Therefore, this is the cause and effect of such a period of the past, in Ji Shaokang's view, today is just a scene carefully planned by himself, as long as it is performed according to the script, everyone will be happy!
The only thing I didn't expect was that there was a big situation at the beginning, and it was the link that should not have happened!
Li melodious, and his sudden song!
It sounds very good, and it may also be in line with Li Youyang's mood at this time, but for Ji Shaokang, he feels bad, and he has a bad feeling in his heart.
That's why he held Chen Ying for the first time, wanting her to hurry up and finish the wedding ceremony with him. After all, Li Youyang has been pulled away by Li Yiyi, and there is no need to delve into this matter, the most important thing is to finish the wedding.
Chen Ying was pressed like this, and she also reacted, just looking at this man, she was stunned for a long time, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's go up together!"
The master of ceremonies invited to the wedding is also a well-known host who has been on a large occasion for a long time, and his ability to adapt is also very strong, seeing that the scene is calm now, he decisively cut off a few links, but shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please invite our groom Mr. Ji Shaokang to bring his bride Ms. Chen Ying to the stage! At the same time, I announce that the wedding celebration of these two newlyweds will start now!"
