8. Lonely City (4)
He Chuchen saw her and pulled the corners of her mouth, she had been in the same class for nearly four years, and it was the first time she knew that Zhong Yi was a big lady.
Zhong Yi quietly followed Zhong Yaoyang to sit down, in addition to her family of four, the other three people in the room were He Chuchen and her parents.
Under everyone's noses, Zhong Yi was embarrassed to bite Zhong Yaoyang's ears, but it didn't take long for her to understand that the two companies were going to cooperate recently. It was a big project, and it was of great benefit to the company, which led to this dinner.
I like to put my mind at ease, as long as it's not He Chuchen and her brother's blind date banquet.
She felt that his brother would definitely not like Miss He's this, not that He Chuchen was not good, even with Zhong Yaoyang's picky aesthetics, she had to be sure that she was a good-looking girl.
He Zhuchen and her relationship are not close, or rather, He Zhuchen has a sense of distance from everyone in their class, but she is not just such a person.
When He Chuchen entered the school as a freshman, he had a vigorous love affair with the grass of the Southern Art School at that time, and it was amazing to like them as bystanders.
When she is unfamiliar, she is cold, and after she is familiar, she is willful.
What kind of willfulness is it, this love lasted for three months, and the school grass struggled to survive that semester and went directly to study abroad.
The fairy who came out of the dust is just the surface, and He Chuchen is just a person in the mortal dust.
As she expected, Zhong Yaoyang didn't say a few words to He Chuchen during the whole dinner.
likes to eat quietly, and plays a big girl very well.
Mr. and Mrs. He praised her for being well-behaved, and she secretly winked at her brother while no one was paying attention. As soon as he looked up, he saw He Chuchen's mocking eyes.
He Chuchen listened to his parents talk about those businesses that she didn't understand, and thought that Zhong Yi was not only an eldest lady, but also a lady dressed in a lady's skin.
"Hehe......" she laughed mockingly in her heart, then took out her phone and sent a quick text message.
Come pick me up.
At the end of this dinner, I heard a bombshell - He Chuchen was going to get engaged on the weekend!
Zhong Yaoyang knocked on her head, he had already informed her, okay!
At the end of the scene, He Chuchen did not sit in the same car as the He couple, but got into a black car one step ahead of them.
Zhong Yi glanced at it from a distance, and felt that the license plate number was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Zhong Yaoyang sent Zhong Yi back to Nanyi, and repeatedly emphasized that she must go home this week and attend He Chuchen's engagement banquet before letting her go back to school.

He Chuchen sat in the co-pilot, there was no light in the car, and she couldn't see the expressions of the people next to her.
The He family's century-old family business used to be a prominent family in the city, but her father had no talent for business, and it has declined in the past ten years, and there has been a crisis recently. The cooperation with the Zhong family can only be temporarily alleviated, not the root cause, and the important thing is the next marriage.
Father He was repeatedly entangled, helpless, and finally decided to ask Xia Shibang for help.
What Xia Shibang threw back to him was a difficult problem.
The two sons of the Xia family, the eldest son Xia Linchen has no real power in the company, and more importantly, he lost his sight after a car accident a few years ago. And the second son Xia Yunshen is Xia Shibang's illegitimate son, although he works in the company, his identity cannot be on the stage after all.
Father He finally chose Xia Linchen.
He Chuchen can have today's character, all of which are made by his parents as pets. When her father, who had always doted on her, asked her to marry for the sake of the company, she blew up as a matter of course.
When shouting and crying and all kinds of threats were useless, He Chuchen compromised for the time being, but it was just an engagement, first as his parents wished, and the rest would be talked about later.
Anyway, she definitely shouldn't marry a blind man who hasn't met yet.
He Chuchen moved his body, turned on the top light, and looked at the person who was driving. The man had clear eyebrows and handsome eyes, and he couldn't say that he was good-looking.
They met at an event in a bar, masking their faces and kissing each other at random. He didn't tell her his name or identity, just left a phone number to contact and see her occasionally.
"Huh?" The handsome man looked at the corner of his mouth with a smile, and the upturned tail note seduced people for no reason,
"I'm engaged this week." He Chuchen told stubbornly with his eyes.
"Oh." He even nodded his head and asked with a smile, "So, do you want to inform me that we won't meet again?" β
He Chuchen asked, "What about you?" Want to continue or don't want to? β
He raised an eyebrow and gave an answer that was not an answer: "It's up to you." β
He Chuchen stopped talking, and she didn't know if she was satisfied with his answer. He's always been like this, and she actually knows very well in her heart that he doesn't like her.
Because he didn't reach out to her once.

The man sent the young girl back to school, took the steering wheel back to the main road, and suddenly did not want to go home, so he changed direction and drove towards a villa area in the center of the city.
He parked his car in the parking space in front of a villa, and for a while he didn't want to go down.
The location here is too good, quiet in the middle of noisy, and every set is sold at sky-high prices, and even his salary is beyond the reach of dust.
He had the key, opened the door himself, changed his shoes in the hallway, and walked in.
"Why are you here?" A voice came from not far away.
Xia Linchen was wearing pajamas, probably heard the sound, and walked out of the kitchen.
"Brother." The man took off his long black trench coat, put it on the armrest of the sofa, and called out to the owner of the villa.
Xia Linchen felt that he didn't want to answer from this coquettish voice, sighed helplessly, handed over the can of beer he had just opened in his hand, and groped his way to the refrigerator to get a can.
Xia Yunshen clinked glasses with him, laughed, and said, "Your beers here are better than those at home." β
"The old man still lets you drink?" Xia Linchen sat next to him, one long leg on top of the other, "Stay with me tonight." β
"Okay." Xia Yunshen nodded, and asked again, "What are you going to do with the engagement banquet with the He family?" β
Xia Linchen snorted lightly and replied, "Don't go." β
Xia Yunshen smiled: "Aren't you afraid that Dad will be angry?" β
"The old man's own affairs have nothing to do with me."
Xia Yunshen stopped talking, he really envied his half-brother, he was like an eagle, a father who cured him, and unexpected eye diseases could not restrain his freedom.
He Chuchen didn't know his identity, but he recognized who she was at first sight. The unlucky girl appointed by her father, who is about to become her brother's fiancΓ©e.
It was an accidental kiss, and he kept in touch with her.
He could even imagine how He Chuchen would react when he saw him at the engagement banquet.
He smiled bitterly and drank the wine in his hand.
