Chapter 5: Lost Memories
The dance party continued, and in the magnificent hall, a group of brightly dressed men and women sang and laughed, and danced with each other.
Luo Lan was suspicious and frightened, it was normal, everything seemed to be very normal, as always! If it weren't for what creepy horror things Luo Lan had personally experienced......
And this weird dark-eyed man.......
"Tonight is our wedding." The man's dark eyes looked at Luo Lan intently.
"Wedding?" Luo Lan couldn't help but shudder, she was sure that she had never seen this strange man. How could she marry him! How did all this happen?
"We can't lose the manor, only you marry him." A sad sigh came suddenly. Immediately, Luo Lan was shocked to see Mrs. Luo, her face was pale, and her dark eyes were shining coldly in the light.
"What do you think of Li Moxiu?"
"Huh?"
Luo Lan looked at the bright girl in a long dress in the mirror with satisfaction.
This dress is so beautiful! The long skirt goes down smoothly.
Pale yellow, light green, reddish-pink, deep purple, light purple and orange, as well as gradients of white, blue and yellow-green blended together, the irregular pattern renders a striking, brightly colored abstract oil painting on the base of the staggered thick black gauze skirt.
Lin Shuang carefully and skillfully tied a translucent pale red gemstone necklace around her neck, which matched the two bright rose-red ribbons that were crossed and wrapped around Luo Lan's chest.
The tightly restrained Luo Lan dress made her figure even taller.
At this moment, the arrogant and elegant young lady in the mirror is extremely beautiful, and her skin is delicate and smooth like mutton fat.
The two eyebrows, which were originally sparse and delicate, were now carefully retouched and depicted so that they were clear and black, flying obliquely into the temples, as well as her beautiful nose that no one could ignore, and a pair of seductive and slightly flirtatious watery eyes.
Her thick and thin lips were slightly sexy, and the beautiful and watery red made her lips watery, as if she was quietly conveying some kind of wonderful message that made people's spirits turbulent.
"We may not be able to hold such a grand ball in the future." Mrs. Rowe looked at her daughter, whom she was most proud of, "Even our lives are no longer good." ”
"What happened?" Luo Lan looked at her mother suspiciously. Only then did she realize that her mother had a sad face.
"Our estate is now in debt, and it won't be long before it will be sold." Mrs. Luo sighed.
"How so?" Luo Lan asked in surprise.
"The economy is in a recession, your father's investment failed, and the bank kept coming to demand the loan, but we had no money to repay." Mrs. Luo smiled wryly.
"So we have to sell the estate?"
"It seems that there is only one way now."
"Oh my God!"
"Your father wants Mochi to help us out of this situation."
"The result? Did he say yes? ”
Mrs. Luo shook her head, "He can't do anything about it, but he gave your father a piece of advice." Mrs. Luo paused, "Although Mo Qi's ability is limited, his wife and nephew Li Moxiu are very successful businessmen, and he will try to convince Li Moxiu to see if Li Moxiu is willing to help us." ”
"There is little hope." Luo Lan said.
"Indeed." Mrs. Luo hesitated, "Mo Qi has another suggestion......
"What?"
"Li Moxiu is still single......"
"What do you want to say?" Luo Lan looked at her mother vigilantly.
"There are also examples of declining families in our neighborhood who have survived through marriage. If you could marry him......"
"It's ridiculous, we were strangers just a few days ago." Luo Lan couldn't believe it.
"What's wrong with Li Moxiu, he is young and promising, and the most important thing is that he can give you a good life."
"Even if I agree, Li Moxiu may not agree to marry a stranger."
"He'll say yes."
Luo Lan didn't understand why Mrs. Luo was so sure.
"He lacks a beautiful and elegant wife."
Luo Lan laughed, her mother was probably a little blindly confident, "This is what you and your father have planned, right?" ”
"Your father doesn't agree, and I don't think he's in a hurry about your marriage." Mrs. Luo commented on her husband with some anger.
"I don't agree either, I don't love him at all. Why marry him. Luo Lan did not hesitate to reject her mother's proposal.
"Feelings can be cultivated slowly." Mrs. Luo persuaded Luo Lan. She made up her mind that she had to get Luo Lan to agree to marry Li Moxiu.
Mrs. Luo knew that Luo Lan must not be satisfied with her mother's lifelong arrangement for her now, and perhaps she was thinking about how to rebel against it.
But Mrs. Luo believes that one day she will understand her good intentions, and when Luo Lan reaches an age like her, when all the capital of youth and beauty is exhausted, Luo Lan will know that life is originally realistic and cruel.
"How to cultivate? I didn't know him a few days ago. Although her mother had been anxious about the marriage of her three daughters, her proposal was unbelievable.
"Marrying Li Moxiu, you can live comfortably." Mrs. Luo said realistically.
But Luo Lan couldn't accept a marriage of exchange of interests, and married someone casually for the sake of profit.
Luo Lan was in a trance....... fragment that suddenly appeared in his mind......
What is it? To leap out of Luo Lan's mind.......
The night was as bright as day, and the occasional hoarse call of an owl could be heard in the dark shade of the moonlight.
Floating in the darkness, the Amber Manor is brightly lit, sumptuous food, and happy guests,
Luo Lan's twentieth birthday ball was grand and grand.
The radiant Luo Lan undoubtedly set off a hurricane, and the eyes of the young men immediately fell on Luo Lan, and the attentive admirers used all the compliments and praises to find every opportunity to win the favor of the proud princess.
Wen Yingfeng rushed to her side first, and he bowed to her comically, "I beg Luo Lan Bao'er to enjoy the light and dance with me." Luo Lanwan smiled and put his hand into Wen Yingfeng's hand.
"Luo Lan baby, why don't you marry me! I promise not to look at another woman. Wen Yingfeng smiled.
"It looks like your gaze has just been withdrawn from Miss Qu." Luo Lan smiled.
"This is the nature of a man who is making a mistake, who called Qu Mingzhu to wear such a reverie today. Didn't my honest brother can't help but look at her a few more times? and Bai Fei, Ge's twin brother...... The handsome man of your house, he's been staring at her. Wen Yingfeng had an aggrieved expression.
Luo Lan's gaze immediately fell on the cold-looking man who had come to visit the Amber Manor, and from time to time there were women around him who wanted to strike up a conversation with him, and those women looked at him as if they were on fire.......
He turned out to be .......
"You're a perfect match for Mo Xiu!" A cheerful voice rang out suddenly.
Luo Lan was taken aback, and a smiling couple appeared next to her at some point.
The man was full of red light, with a small round face that looked like a smile even if he was not smiling, with curved eyebrows and crooked eyes, almost like a cheerful and kind tumbler. The women around him are beautiful and stylish.
Luo Lan looked at them in a daze, her mind confused. Was she dreaming? Luo Lan was in a trance, and the Moqi couple were old friends of her father, Luo Shen, and they had come to Amber Manor as guests......
Was she in the past or in the present? Reality or illusion!
