Chapter Twenty-Eight: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger (2)
It seemed that Diao Ranran's emotions were a little excited, Zhan Xingchuan couldn't help but speak, reached under the dining table, and gently shook her hand.
His hands were cold, and he couldn't help but tighten them again, wrapping his warm palms all over her little hands.
As long as she is a businessman's child, sooner or later, she will have to face this choice, she has lived too simple and beautiful, and she will still have confidence in the so-called family affection. And he has long known his own value, and in the eyes of his parents, it is not as important as a business.
"The topic just now is too heavy, Uncle Diao, let's drink, drink. ”
Zhan Xingchuan bowed slightly, filled the wine glass in front of Diao Chengxi with his other hand, and also filled his own glass, and took the initiative to toast.
Bai Nuowei stared at the two of them clinking glasses in silence, until they drank it, and then she said quietly: "What a family of three is happy, so what am I? Chengxi, you say, what am I?"
At the last sentence, her voice was choked.
Bai Nuowei's eyes were slightly red, her face was innocent, one hand was covering her heart, the other was covering her abdomen, she looked at Diao Chengxi with an embarrassed face, her expression was extremely weak and pitiful, but it was very different from the usual capable and quick.
Diao Chengxi was slightly embarrassed, and said continuously: "In front of the child, what are you talking about......?
On this side, he was trying to appease her, but he didn't want to, on the other side, Diao Ranran had already pulled his hand out of Zhan Xingchuan's hand.
She cleared her throat and said with a straight face: "Miss Bai, for so many years, you and your family have been acting as the protective umbrella of the Diao family, helping us solve many public relations problems, especially about the prestige and image of the Diao family. I believe that you will not destroy the reputation of the Diao family with your own hands, right? Come, I will replace the wine with tea and toast you. ”
After speaking, she didn't wait for Bai Novi to speak, and did it first as respect.
Bai Novi glared at her, her lips pursed tightly, almost completely bloodless.
As smart as she is, she finally realized that tonight's banquet was a thorough, out-and-out Hongmen banquet.
Diao Ranran brought Zhan Xingchuan here, in addition to promoting business cooperation between the two families, her biggest purpose was to get rid of the child in her belly. Without a child, he is like a bird with his wings cut off, even if he gets more love, what can he do?!
Besides, she is not rare, she is not rare at all the favor of this half-old man! Every time she sleeps with him, she feels sick, and after each time, she has to soak in the bathtub for a long time, and he does not understand what it is for, thinking that she just loves bathing. In fact, she felt that she was dirty after being touched by him, and she couldn't wash it off!
"Diao Ranran, you are so ruthless. ”
Her lips twitched a few times, and she finally squeezed a word out of her teeth, then slammed to her feet, rushed to the closet, grabbed her coat, and walked straight to the door of the private room.
"Vivi!"
In a hurry, Diao Chengxi shouted out his affectionate name for Bai Nuowei in front of Zhan Xingchuan and Diao Ranran, and when he saw her just throw her hands and leave, it was too embarrassing to lose face, so he had to shake his head again and again, and it was not good to chase after her immediately.
Diao Ranran also got up, took his coat, and helped him put it on.
She pulled up her sleeves and said softly: "Dad, don't worry, there are so many waiters on the first floor, they will take the initiative to step forward when they see Miss Bai, she will be fine." It's you, be careful of your body, I only have such a father, and no one wants you to have an accident. ”
Hearing his daughter say this, Diao Chengxi was moved and guilty, but he couldn't say anything more at the moment, so he had to nod and go out of the road to chase Bai Nuowei, so as not to really have an accident with her.
The door to the private room opened and closed, and the room fell silent.
A fat koi fish just poked its head out of the water, leisurely spit out a bubble, the bubble floated, and not long after, it "snapped" and broke.
The two men stood silently, neither moving, neither looking back, neither speaking.
I don't know how long it took for Lu Dao, Zhan Xingchuan stepped forward, gently grabbed Diao Ranran's shoulder, let her head rest on him, and asked softly, "You say, will he let her keep this child?"
She was stunned for a moment, but did not answer immediately.
Soon, however, two small clusters of light flickered little by little in Diao Ranran's eyes.
She smiled and nodded.
"Since you have just said it so obviously, your conditions and bottom line are there, if he really can't give up this big cake and wants to follow a piece of it, then he knows what he should do next. ”
After thinking about it, Diao Ranran couldn't help but sigh.
"I know that you can't bear it, and you think that the child is innocent. ”
Zhan Xingchuan said smartly, stretched out a hand, picked up a strand of long curly hair scattered on his shoulders, wrapped it around his fingers, tightened inch by inch, then let go, and then tightened, the action looked very restrained.
Unexpectedly, Diao Ranran sneered and squinted his eyes.
There is one thing that she has never told Zhan Xingchuan. Since today he has become a comrade-in-arms in the trenches with him, it seems that it is okay to tell him.
She turned, pulled her hair back from his hand, and walked back to her seat and sat down.
A table of dishes, in fact, has not been touched much.
She was so hungry that she picked up chopsticks, picked up a few at random, and began to eat.
Zhan Xingchuan reluctantly called the waiters and asked them to bring the soup to the kitchen and heat it again.
"I told you to eat just now, but you didn't eat, sit up straight, like a Buddha who honors Maitreya, and doesn't eat fireworks in the world. It's cold now, and it's delicious. Do you think you're born rebellious, and you have to work against normal people to be comfortable?"
He pretended to be vicious and pulled Diao Ranran's ears, sat down, picked up a new pair of chopsticks, and helped her pick up vegetables.
"The moment you just laughed was very unusual, and it made me feel a little furious. ”
Zhan Xingchuan put down his chopsticks, he recalled it, and always felt that Diao Ranran's smile just now had an indescribable taste, a little crazy.
Diao Ranran took a breath of wind and clouds, wiped his mouth, and drank a sip of hot tea to get tired, and then he held the teacup and was slightly distracted.
When she learned that Bai Novi was pregnant, she was very depressed.
After returning home, even Aunt Bao could see that her mood was wrong, and hurriedly came over to ask what was wrong.
But Diao Ranran was so disheartened that she didn't even eat much dinner, so she went upstairs.
After a while, Aunt Bao caught up, saw her like this, sighed again and again, if you are unhappy, go to your mother's bedroom, find out if there is any jewelry you like, and use it as a distraction.
Diao Ranran was very surprised, because before this, Aunt Bao had been like an old hen protecting her chicks, protecting Diao Ranran's mother's bedroom, and she was rarely allowed to go in and touch it. Almost every two years, the Diao family's mansion had to be renovated, and each time she kept an eye on the workers, for fear that they would be clumsy and break anything in the room.
"It's all left to you anyway, I'm afraid that if you break it when you are a child, you will be distressed in the future. Now you're the oldest, so let's see if there's anything you like. ”
After Aunt Bao finished speaking, she handed the key to Diao Ranran.
Unexpectedly, she really discovered a big secret.
