16. Chapter XV

The next day, Chen Qian and the driver at home came to pick me up and discharge from the hospital, I had a drip the night before, so I went to bed early, and I heard the nurse say that Qin Yan came to accompany me for a long time when I was very late, and I was so sorry that I left without waking up.

On the way home, Chen Qian said to me: "Yesterday, your father and your second uncle had a phone call, and he said that your sister is on summer vacation and wants to come to live with us for a few days, and you can also attend your wedding after a while, and Master Zhou will go to the airport to pick her up, and I will talk to you first." ”

I reacted for a second: "Li Xiao? ”

Chen Qian nodded.

I couldn't help but laugh a little, if you have a good memory, you should remember that I mentioned before, I have a cousin who was scared out of her mind by silkworms when she was a child playing in my studio. This cousin is Li Xiao, the only one in the Li family who is a girl with me, and she has the closest relationship with me among my siblings. She is two years younger than me, and her biggest hobby in life is acting, and she is currently studying in film school. She also came to live in our house for a period of time during the winter vacation two years ago, when Lu Zhaochao was entangled by a second-generation official, and it was not easy to use me as a shield, and in the end she stepped forward, and she didn't know where to get the props, and ran to the woman to say that she was pregnant with Lu Zhaochao's child. quarreled and pushed each other for a long time, and finally sat on the ground, bright red blood kept flowing out from under her, and the scene was extremely tragic. The woman was scared enough, and she didn't continue to beat Lu Zhaochao for fear of causing trouble, but the side effect was that the Lu family thought that Lu Zhaochao had really enlarged the belly of the girl outside, and locked Lu Zhaochao up for a month.

When I woke up from a nap in the afternoon, I saw Li Xiao while watering the flowers in the garden. As soon as she met, she asked me with a sloppy face: "Li Qiao, I heard that you were urged. Love medicine, and almost make people strong. Rape? How come your days are more exciting than TV dramas? ”

I said, "Li Xiaoxiao, you whisper to me, my dad and Chen Qian don't know what's going on here, don't let them hear it." He glanced at her carefully again and said, "I really don't understand the aesthetics of your celebrities, you can paint your nails green, why do you want to paint your lips green, there are green lipsticks on the market?" ”

She tapped her finger on her chin and said, "Well, it's because I'm going to go to a crew to try out a role in a while, the film is called "Red Carp and Green Carp and Donkey", and I auditioned for Green Carp, so I'm looking for a feeling in advance." ”

I was amazed by her rapping skills, and I thought about it and asked curiously, "What is that about?" ”

She said, "Have you ever watched "Red Roses and White Roses"? It's about the same as that. The title is also symbolic, telling a tangled and gloomy love story that takes place in the urban-rural junction, the donkey refers to a man who made a fortune grinding tofu, the red carp is a widow who is debauched on the outside but kind at heart, and the green carp is a green tea who is innocent on the outside but vicious on the inside. You know, I'm so beautiful, of course I'm more suitable to play a green tea. ”

I said, "...... Oh. ”

She raised her hand and said: "Forget it, let's not discuss this, let's talk about you, aren't you about to get married, I heard that you are a diamond king, do you have any photos for me to see?" ”

I said, "What Wang Lao Wu, he's not old at all." Remembering that she had taken a photo of Qin Yan under the pear blossoms before, she took out her mobile phone and showed it to her, she glanced at it and said, "It's really punctual for me to go, such a handsome and rich man didn't support a star but married you?" Can I rekindle hope in this society? ”

I said proudly: "Hehe...... " Before hey could make a third sound, she snatched my phone from the whole place and looked at it seriously: "Hey, but how do I think I'm a little familiar with this person, as if I've seen it somewhere." ”

I was amazed and said, "Have you seen him?" ”

She thought about it again: "I'm not sure either, but it looks like it, you know I've always had an eye for handsome guys." ”

I said curiously, "So where did you see him?" ”

She said: "I think it was more than half a year ago, I went to Seattle to play, and I met a friend of mine when he went to see "Giselle". I sat in the same row as him, and there weren't many Asian faces in the theater at that time, and he was handsome like that, so I was quite impressed. ”

I said, "Oh......" and thought for a moment, "It's also possible that he was abroad a few months ago and came back not long ago." ”

Li Xiao Middle School is in N City, and although she lives in my house during this time, she goes out to run parties most of the time. Qin Yan went out on business again, so I recuperated at home for a few days. When he came back that day, he called me and said that they had passed the private placement merger and acquisition project some time ago, and the company was going to have a celebration banquet and asked me to go with him. I thought about it for a while, and I guess he meant to make me look good, after all, he and I haven't been officially engaged yet, and we haven't appeared together, and the previous news is still in the rumor stage.

On that day, Qin Yan and I sat in the audience, sharing a table with several directors of their company, who were also some of his relatives. When his father finished his speech on the stage, the people at the table greeted themselves. Qin Yan's youngest uncle at the table, Qin Yu, heard that he was also the most cheerful and interesting one among the Qin family, so he took a glass of red wine and said to us: "When we meet for the first time, of course I have to pay tribute to my nephew and daughter-in-law." Qin Yan, you talk to your parents, and let them introduce Qin Shuo to such a beautiful and generous one, that kid is in shape every day, and he almost makes me angry to death. ”

Qin Yan smiled and didn't say anything, so I naturally stood up with the half glass of red wine on the table. He looked at it, but he reached out to stop my wine, and changed the cup of tea on the table and stuffed it in my hand: "Third uncle, it's inconvenient for her to drink, so she uses tea instead of bar." ”

Qin Yu squinted at us for two seconds, his eyes were half serious and half joking: "What does it mean to be inconvenient?" ”

I was about to say, no, no, it's that I'm too bad at drinking, and I'm prone to drunkenness. Qin Yan raised his eyebrows in front of me and smiled ambiguously: "What you understand is what it means." ”

From the eyes of everyone here, I intuitively felt that they had misunderstood, but now I was relieved to take a cup of tea and change the cup in the full house.

After saluting for a while, Qin Yan and I went to the open-air balcony on the second floor to be quiet for a while, it was a summer day, and the welcoming pine in front of us was lush and verdant under the sunset, and there was a hint of cool breeze. I leaned against the guardrail and looked up at Qin Yan along the shadow on the ground, he was lowering his head and gently turning the red wine glass in his hand, and his movement of turning the glass was very beautiful.

Sensing my gaze, he also turned his head, was silent for two seconds, and said, "How is your body these days?" ”

I said to him, "Oh, it's not a big deal, just take your medicine on time." My cousin has been staying with us for some time, and I went to the playground with her two days ago. ”

He frowned slightly and thought for a moment, and said, "Your cousin? The one who was scared out of illness by the silkworms you raised when you were a child? ”

I was stunned: "Do you remember?" That's her. Suddenly he remembered something and said, "I showed her a picture of you, and she actually said that she seemed to have seen you." ”

Qin Yan smiled: "Really? ”

I said, "Well, she said it was at the McCaw Theatre in Seattle late last year, did you go to the ballet at that time?" ”

He paused suddenly, lowered his eyes, and said after a few seconds, "Yes." ”

I suddenly said, "Oh, that's really ...... Do you like ballet? I also like it, and I practiced for a few years when I was a child, but then I didn't study because I wasn't in good health. ”

But he said no more, and there was a sudden and unseemly silence in the air. In the past more than ten seconds, I was dazed and just wanted to speak again, but Qin Yan's Secretary Lin came over and said, "Mr. Qin, your friend is here, shall I bring him up here or to the reception room?" ”

Qin Yan said: "Come on, the chairman of the reception room is using it." ”

Secretary Lin answered and went down, I said, "You talk to your friend, should I go down first?" ”

He was silent for a moment: "No. After a pause: "It's good to let him see it, sooner or later." ”

I didn't understand the meaning of his words too much, and not long after, Secretary Lin brought someone over, and the person's outfit also knew that he was a rich child, and his appearance and temperament were very noble. He said to Qin Yan as he walked: "I heard the good news of your family as soon as I returned to China, and you didn't disclose it in advance, let me spend all my net worth to buy your stocks a few months earlier, and now I am developed." ”

Qin Yan smiled: "The top students of Harvard Law School said this, it really makes me unbelievable. ”

The other party also smiled, and his eyes turned to me, "This young lady is your female companion today?" It's even more beautiful than the last one. ”

I smiled at him, but I didn't know how to say hello because I didn't know the name yet. Qin Yan was silent for a few seconds and said, "Buckwheat, this is my friend Zhao Yi." ”

I said from the goodness: "Hello Mr. Zhao, my name is Li Qiao." ”

He nodded and smiled: "Miss Li is glad to meet." He looked at me with a smile again: "Miss Li doesn't have the money-worshipping temperament of a businessman like Qin Yan at all, I guess you are ......."

The voice next to him interrupted him suddenly: "She is my fiancΓ©e." ”

The expression of the person in front of him froze for a moment, he turned his head to look at Qin Yan, and was silent for two seconds: "What did you say?" ”

Qin Yan looked at him calmly, and didn't mean to repeat the words again, and I was a little dazed. The look of horror and disbelief on Zhao Yi's face suddenly reminded me of the possibility I had discussed with Liao Xiaofei before.

Zhao Yi's next words made me even more suspicious, he stared at Qin Yan and said, "You want to marry this woman?" What are you kidding?! ”

I stood there a little helplessly, just now he praised me for being beautiful and didn't worship money, but now he is directly downgraded to "this woman", as if he has completely treated me as air. There was silence in the air for a few seconds, and I heard Qin Yan still say very calmly: "It's not a joke, the invitation card is already being made, and you will be invited to our wedding then." ”
