Chapter 283: Not Brave

Hou Xin's tears flowed down her eyes, she knew that Chu Pengfei was an out-and-out bastard, but she didn't expect the bastard to be so much, one night, Hou Xin's hands were tied, and she spent the night on the dirty bed, sleepless all night, and was completely disappointed in Chu Pengfei.

At the Chu family banquet that day, Hou Xin got up early to clean up the room, smeared a thick layer of fat powder on her face to cover the handprints left by Chu Pengfei on her face, and wore a shirt with longer sleeves to cover up the scars on her wrists. She knew that the people of the Hou family would definitely come back, and her mother Xu Meihui would also come to the banquet, she didn't want Xu Meihui to see her like this, she didn't want her to be sad, and she had to bear the path she chose.

Hou Xin smiled, took his mother to the side of the sofa and sat down, the whole person has not yet come, mainly Chu Zhuofan and his mother Lan Lily have not yet come, the protagonist has not come, and the banquet cannot start. Seeing the excited expressions on the faces of the Chu family, Hou Xin felt even more uncomfortable, but he endured it and chatted with his mother with a smile.

Hou Xin brought his mother the fruits for the winter season, which were nothing more than some apples, grapefruits, etc., and some fruits from the south, but the fruits shipped from the south were out of season, not very fresh, Hou Xin didn't like to eat, looking at the red watermelon, Hou Xin knew that it was just the surface of the glamour, but it was not sweet. Just like herself, on the surface she is the young lady of the Chu family, but who would have thought how heartbroken she would be when she faced Chu Pengfei's bastard behind her back.

At this time, Chu Pengfei came to meet his mother-in-law, since Hou Xin married into the Chu family, Chu Pengfei has not paid any attention to etiquette, this is the first time he has visited his mother-in-law.

Chu Pengfei's face is very bad, he is disgraced, and he is not dressed very decently, today is not his banquet, the protagonist is Chu Zhuofan, the competitor. Chu Zhuofan and Long Xinbei of the Long family are engaged, and the marriage is just around the corner, according to the promise made by the Chu family's grandfather, it is to inherit all the property of the Chu family to Chu Zhuofan, and at the same time recognize the identity of his mother Lan Lily, which means that Chu Pengfei can no longer be an idle young master like before, and the Chu family will not have a place for him.

"Mom"

Chu Pengfei shouted coldly, Xu Meihui raised her eyes and glanced at her son-in-law, and she was very unhappy.

"Well, why are you dressed so sloppily for such an important scene today?" Xu Meihui frowned and complained, then stopped looking at him, and took Hou Xin's hand to look at the banquet hall that was still being arranged.

Chu Pengfei snorted coldly, shook his hair, and left, he thought about how to drive Chu Zhuofan away, the Chu family belonged to him Chu Pengfei, how could he hand it over to a wild seed? Long Xinbei will definitely come over today, and he can't be too beautiful.

Chu Pengfei walked to a place where no one was, quietly explained to his subordinates, and saw the man with a scar on his face disappearing outside the back door of the Chu family.

Scar is an important person for Chu Pengfei's survival, almost everything is done by this person to help Chu Pengfei do, and today's thing is no exception, he wants to watch Chu Zhuofan make a farce.

The banquet was set up, it was almost noon, but the weather outside was incompatible with today's atmosphere, and there were snowflakes floating in the sky, which had accumulated on the ground. At first, it was just a few small snow particles, but gradually it became a big leaf of snowflakes, falling flutteringly, trying to cover up the good, evil, beauty and ugliness of this M city.

In the middle of the banquet hall, there was a long table, with dozens of cutlery, as well as all kinds of fruits and dried fruits, people were seated one after another, laughing and laughing, until a certain moment everyone turned all their eyes to the door, where Long Xinbei took Chu Zhuofan's hand and walked in in style, and behind them was Lan Lily, who was full of happy smiles on Lan Lily's face.

Hou Xin was disgusted for a while, this woman belonged to the Long family, and she was also the person who used to be with Qin Youyou, such a person was actually better than her, hundreds of times better, she disagreed, she clenched her fists tightly, because of the force, the bruises on her wrists made a stinging pain.

Xu Meihui looked at the dazzling aura of the visitor, thinking about her daughter, and her heart ached more and more, she was also the young master of the Chu family, why was there such a world of difference? Her daughter should have been like this, but it was all because of Qin Youyou, a cheap woman, who was ruined, and now the Hou family is not much worse off from home.

Chu Zhuofan and Long Xinbei sat down in the midst of everyone's admiration and congratulations, Long Xinbei smiled and greeted everyone present one by one, when she saw Hou Xin and Xu Meihui, her heart was also shocked, but she strongly suppressed the anger in her heart and still faced them with a smile. These people in front of her will be her relatives in the future, but she doesn't want to know these people, she regrets extremely why Chu Zhuofan had so much magic power in the first place, made her lose herself, made her mistake him for Si Shaoqi, and did irreparable things, it was too late to regret it.

"Alright, everyone, be quiet!"

Old Lady Chu stood up and waved his hand, the scene immediately quieted down, and everyone's eyes moved from Chu Zhuofan's body to Old Lady Chu's body.

"Zhuo Fan and Xinbei have been engaged for a while, but they haven't had time to congratulate them, this is the Chu family's fault, today the Chu family is here to congratulate the two winged birds who are about to enter the marriage hall!"

Everyone stood up and said hello and took out carefully prepared gifts. A peaceful picture shrouded Long Xinbei's fragile heart.

She remembered "You at the Same Table", which was released not long ago, and she felt like the heroine in it, who loved someone in her heart, but wanted to marry another man. At the end of the movie, she even shouted with tears, so that the hopeless man stood up bravely, took the heroine's hand, escaped the marriage scene together, and then bravely got together.

If, at this moment, Si Shaoqi bravely stood up, took her hand, and asked her to give up the qiē here and go with him, would she leave without hesitation?

She questioned herself, she didn't have enough courage and strength to face the surprised eyes and cold words of others, since this is the case, Si Shaoqi, it's better not to show up, it's better not to see each other.

"Xinbei, it's time to toast everyone."

Chu Zhuofan brought Long Xinbei a glass of red wine and smiled to pull her back to reality from her fugue.

Long Xinbei looked at the glass of red wine blankly, the liquid in it was crystal clear, exuding a charming brilliance, and there was a faint fragrance, amber red, which made her want to touch it. But holding that glass of wine, her heart was extremely uncomfortable, it was because of the wine that she lost it to Chu Zhuofan after getting drunk, the person she didn't love, and since then she has embarked on the road of no return, and her fate has been locked.

She lamented why Cang Tian made such a big joke with her, making her love someone for ten years, but that person was indifferent, and when he finally woke up, she could no longer hold his hand.

Since then, Long Xinbei has never drunk a drop of wine, and when she sees the wine, she remembers the past, and remembers the unbearable years.

She smiled slightly and said to Chu Zhuofan, "I don't know how to drink." ”

Chu Zhuofan looked at it in surprise, he personally witnessed Long Xinbei's drinking, but she was already drunk, maybe she really didn't know how to drink, and she shouldn't drink.

"Haha, I'm sorry everyone, Xinbei doesn't know how to drink, I'll block her wine for her."

Just when everyone was admiring Chu Zhuofan's protection of his wife and his beloved wife, in a corner outside the hall, a pair of eyes looked at this qiē coldly. The sound of car brakes sounded outside the door, and a man stepped out of the car. A hint of cunning flashed in those eyes, and a sneer rose to the corner of his mouth, and then quietly disappeared.

The person who got out of the car was Si Shaoqi, he received an anonymous phone call, saying that Long Xinbei was in trouble in the Chu family, he already knew that the Chu family was not a good person, Chu Pengfei was like that, Chu Zhuofan must be the same, he was nervous, so he immediately drove over.

Si Shaoqi rushed directly into the hall, and when he looked closely, Long Xinbei was sitting there frowning, and the other people were smiling, Si Shaoqi was very uncomfortable when he saw it, and he was about to pull Long Xinbei away when he walked over.

"Xinbei, come with me."

The moment she saw Si Shaoqi, Long Xinbei was in a trance for a moment, what she thought in her heart turned out to be a reality, but, but she didn't have the courage to bear this qiē, she couldn't leave regardless of it.

Si Shaoqi took her hand, his expression was moved, he ignored everyone's strange eyes, made such a move, came to the door to snatch his wife, this is what he loves, and he loves without hesitation.

At that moment, Long Xinbei really wanted to stand up and follow Si Shaoqi, leaving behind all the qiqi and only following the person she loved the most, but she couldn't take a step. If she is gone, what will people think of the Long family? What will you think of Si Shaoqi? How could she make innocent people pay for her own happiness?

Long Xinbei broke free of Si Shaoqi's hand, she couldn't do it. If she is the heroine in "You at the Same Table", when she gets married, if Si Shaoqi bravely stands up and snatches her away from the wedding scene, she doesn't have the courage to do it, she is a cowardly person.

"You go, leave me alone, I must stay here."

Long Xinbei's words were miserable, which made Si Shaoqi miserable, and he shook his head and refused to leave.

"Xinbei, are you really willing to accept this qiē? Are you really willing to spend your life with someone you don't love? ”

"How do you know I don't love him? I just love him, and I just want to stay here! ”

Saying this, Long Xinbei's eyes filled with tears, not wanting tears to fall, Long Xinbei closed her eyes tightly, and her moist eyelashes were glued together, pitiful. There was a churning in her heart, and her heart hurt so much that she didn't dare to open her eyes, she wanted to close her eyes for the rest of her life, escape from this world, and escape from the qiē in front of her.
