Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Embrace
The man stared at the focus surrounded by crowds of people from all walks of life in a daze, his eyes seemed to wander like a lament, all kinds of complexities, and it was really impossible for outsiders to understand. Dressed in a straight British dress, the waiter became more and more unclear about his origin, and heard that he wanted to see Miss Leng, so he had to be careful to let him wait.
The people around him, coming and going, were quite surprised to see him sitting in a corner like Honka, in a corner of his own. When I looked at my face again, it was a strange guest. At least I haven't seen this face in Hong Kong.
The sound outside became more and more lively, as if someone had invited a lion dance team, beating gongs and drums, and the lion's head was churning, which was wonderful.
Looking at the pocket watch in his hand, the man looked around, finally left the chair, stood in the crowd, and walked quietly towards the exhibition area.
Looking at the jewelry that was once displayed in the London tour exhibition "Gu Yuxuan" here, my heart is desolate, living to this day, I have long been accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, but now I only feel that it is extremely bitter in the end. But in the end, he still covered his head, walked to the side, and said a word to the manager in charge of on-site reception.
The manager is a professional manager, and he is also well-connected and well-informed in the jewelry industry, seeing this man dressed in British clothes walking over, avoiding the most lively crowd, his face is also heavy, and his heart moves, but he still maintains a spring breeze on his face. After listening to the other party's whispering, his face changed, and he hesitated a little, not knowing whether to go to Leng Yunxi to report.
"You just have to hand over a word, and say that the old man is looking for it. If Miss Leng is too busy to receive me, I will leave immediately. The old butler said calmly. However, after a few months, he was once just an ordinary college student, but now it is difficult to even meet him. Fate, that's an irony.
The man lowered his head and laughed at himself, when Yunxi came to the UK with Young Master Zhan, he had always been taking care of the manor, and when he counted it, there was really a time when they saw each other day and night. Scold. I didn't expect to meet again, but it was such a situation.
The manager hesitated for a moment or two, but finally nodded, "Sir, wait a minute." ”
Twenty minutes later, Yunxi was invited from the front hall to the reception room, and when he saw Zhan Wenlan's butler standing by the window, his face was calm, but he was worried, and the high heels under his feet gently knocked down the bottom panel, making a crisp sound, and immediately startled the butler to look back.
"Miss Leng." He bowed his head politely, as if he were still in that old and luxurious English manor, maintaining the etiquette that could never go wrong.
"Hello." Yunxi smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome, forget it, you are also my elder, just sit down." "No matter what Zhan Wenlan is, this housekeeper has always treated her politely. Yunxi has never been sensitive and tricky, and when he saw that his face was unhappy, he guessed that he must have something to ask for.
The old housekeeper bowed slightly, found a sofa to sit down at random, hesitated for a while, and finally said with difficulty: "Miss Leng, I can't hide it, I came to you this time, in fact, I want to ask you to go back to City B with me." ”
A look of surprise crossed Yunxi's eyes: "What's so urgent?" ”
"Old lady," the butler's lips trembled a little, for a master who had been with him for many years, his emotions were not so much classified as master and servant, but rather that they were similar to relatives and friends. Although she is not a widow, her daughter and grandson have been living well for many years, but they can't enjoy the joy of humanity like ordinary people.
Thinking about it, because I didn't look down on Mr. Zhan and said those words that seemed to dislike the poor and love the rich, the guide is still estranged now, and if the old man is still alive now, I am afraid that he will regret it a lot.
"The old lady's health has been poor recently, and she didn't listen to me when I persuaded her to go to the hospital, you know, in this world, what she listened to the most was the young master's words. But, no matter how much I persuade you, the young master said that he would wait for you to go back. ”
"Oh?" The concern in Yunxi's eyes gradually faded a little, and he turned his head sideways, looking at the embarrassed but firm housekeeper in the fragrance of tea: "He insists on refusing to leave City B?" ”
"Yes." Mr. Zhan's order has come down, but it has nothing to do with the young master, the lady has already packed her luggage and is ready to leave with Mr. Zhan, but the young master doesn't seem to have the idea of leaving. Two days ago, because of this incident, the father and son had already broken out once, but looking at the young master's indifferent look, he really didn't know what to do.
Recently, Lengyunxi has been in the limelight, and even in B City, there have been countless news, so I have to come and give it a try. No matter what, the backbone of the old lady's heart is the young master, if he refuses to go to London, she refuses to go to the hospital for examination and treatment, she is so old, if she is really delayed, she will only regret it in the future.
Yunxi suddenly stood up. Outside the reception room is a pavilion designed here, and on the golden lot, she insisted on having a tall tree in the courtyard, which is full of ancient meaning. Perhaps influenced by the ancient tree in that old street that accompanied her "ten years" of love, she has become accustomed to the place where there is Gu Yuxuan, and there are old trees to rely on.
"Let's go."
She said calmly and without any waves.
The housekeeper sitting on the sofa was stunned, "Miss Leng, please ......." ”
Yunxi waved his hand, signaling him to stop here.
"If you don't come to my flight tonight, I'm going back to City B." Yunxi's eyes were as deep as the ocean, and he looked at the ecstasy that suddenly bloomed on the old man's face with a casual face.
"Thank you, thank you." He almost completely threw away the cold and alienated gentlemanly atmosphere of England that he had been stained with for so many years, and seemed a little incoherent. In the matter of the Leng family, he knew that the young master's motives for this young lady were not pure from the beginning. But the servant did not say anything about the master's fault, and now there is nothing to say.
Yunxi hooked his lips: "I won't go to see him, if you really want to persuade him to leave, let him come to the cold house at noon tomorrow." ”
Since the incident to the present, she has not seen him, but it does not mean that she is merciful.
She didn't have a lot of generosity, running back and forth for other people's affairs. Whose iniquity should be removed, who will be removed.
A coldness flashed across Yunxi's lips.
The old butler didn't see it, and kept saying thank you excitedly, turned around and left.
After he left, Yunxi didn't seem to be in a hurry to go back to the front to entertain the guests, just leaned under the tree and quietly looked at the sky. In the smoke waves, it seemed to be rippling blue waves, and no one could see clearly what she was thinking at the moment.
"Isn't it too much of a hurry to go back in such a hurry?" A cool and sexy voice suddenly came from behind her, containing ancient meaning, as if it was invincible all the way to the waves.
Yunxi didn't look back, and seemed to be getting used to his ubiquity. Closing her eyes, she suddenly reached out and stroked a leaf above her head, the sunlight passed through the leaf, sparsely sprinkled on her hand, and it seemed that the whole person was carrying light, making the eyes of the person standing behind her slightly deeper.
"It's time to go back." She originally planned to go back as soon as the matter in Hong Kong was over, and outsiders said that the Leng family was a blessing in disguise this time, because she was "wronged", and now she is "wronged", but she has no resentment. However, at the beginning, how was it calculated, and how did the Zhan family collude with Qiao Lao, but she didn't have such a good heart, so she could turn around and look at it. After all, repaying grievances with virtue has never been her style! What she wants is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and if she dares to do something on her head, don't blame her for using the knife in the future!
Qiao Zimo smiled and watched the sun as if she was treating her extraordinarily, jumping from her fingertips, falling to the ends of her hair, and then to her cheeks as white as jade. There were countless jewels and jade on display outside, which were comparable to priceless, but in front of her, they were all colorless and suddenly covered with dust.
He remembered the moment when he met her at night in a foreign country, and his heart fluttered slightly, and he only felt that for the first time in his life, he believed in the word "destiny".
When he first saw her, she came from the night, the moonlit night was hazy, and her expression was lazy. At that time, although there was a Zhan Wenlan by her side, it was not a matter of course at all, but now, there are jackals, tigers and leopards everywhere.
Thinking of Chen Hao and Xiao Ran, who were hidden in the shadows last night, I only felt that perhaps, her trip to City B was not as simple as she imagined.
Zhuo Feng called him today. Obviously, he is out of town and is still paying attention to the dynamics on his side. repeatedly listed in detail the many maintenance of Xiao Ran and Chen Hao on the observation deck last night, teasing him was rare and emotional, but the opponents were more tricky than the other, and finally there was even a vague rarity: "Those two people have always been deep in thought and cold in their means, how did they meet Leng Yunxi, but it seems that they are suppressed on the ground?" ”
In this world, there is no eternal winner to speak of. No matter how powerful the means are, when you meet the love of your heart, a qiē is just an irrelevant thing.
Xiao Ran understands, and Chen Hao also knows. Otherwise, when they saw him leave last night, the two of them had dark faces, and neither of them acted rashly.
This game has just begun.
Only one person has the upper and lower levels.
He looked at Yunxi, who was leaning against the tree with almost half of his body, and his eyes fluttered.
"Today, I haven't seen Mr. Qiao's affairs in the major newspapers, what do you think?" It's like suddenly asking a topic that doesn't matter.
Yunxi glanced back at him because of this question.
The Junhua man is noble and gorgeous, and there seems to be a thousand worldly things in his eyes, but at this moment, only she is alone and a shadow falls in his eyes: "Mr. Zhang probably doesn't want to make a big deal about it." "It's not easy for the media to catch such a scandal in Hong Kong. can let them stop like this, except for Mr. Zhang, who has a deep influence, don't do what he thinks.
"He and Qiao Lao are like friends and enemies." Qiao Zimo took two steps closer, gently brushing away an extra fallen leaf above her head at some point, and the slightly hooked corners of her lips vaguely contained a pampering and casualness.
Almost half hugged by him, Yunxi only felt that there was an inexplicable silence between breaths, the dark fragrance floated, and he chuckled unconsciously: "Are you jealous?" ”
According to the age and appearance of Qiao Lao's first two "forbidden babies", coupled with his many "maintenances" some time ago, there are really many people who guess ...... so much.
As soon as she finished speaking, she only felt a tightness in her arms......
