Chapter 73: Reputation Dies
On the evening of August 27, the top three of the "Sunshine Goddess" competed in the expectant eyes of hundreds of millions of viewers. The champion, runner-up, and third runner-up were Gu Qin, Cheng Nianqiu, and Sunara. At that time, the three goddesses on the dazzling stage not only received countless flowers, applause, and honors, but also signed a long-term development agreement with Zhiyu International Media. Cheng Xiaorui also won a small win and won the most popular award.
Because Cheng Nianqiu is the runner-up, the future is bright, and then Guo's father and Guo's mother's satisfaction with her prospective daughter-in-law has also increased a lot of points.
At the beginning of the new semester, Guo Huaidong and Cheng Nianqiu held an engagement ceremony at Shenzhou International Hotel.
That evening, Cheng Xiaorui changed clothes at home, she struggled to choose for a while, and finally changed into the purple Chanel dress. This is her favorite skirt, and it was also bought by Fang Mowei for her, and Fang Mowei once said that she doesn't look so ugly when she wears this skirt.
When Cheng Xiaorui closed the door and was about to go to the hotel with Cheng Jinsong and Lu Huiping, she was disappointed to find that they had left early.
"Why don't my parents call me?" Standing in the empty living room, Cheng Xiaorui scratched her head depressedly, feeling very uncomfortable.
Why did her parents abandon her and isolate her?
Cheng Xiaoyan was still in the countryside because she hated to attend the wedding of Cheng Nianqiu and Guo Huaidong, and poor Cheng Xiaorui had to go downstairs alone and take a taxi.
Sitting in the taxi, Cheng Xiaorui stared indifferently at the vast night outside the window and the neon lights blooming everywhere, they weaved the beauty of the night, but they couldn't erase the dim color in her heart.
Everyone misunderstood her and didn't want her, she obviously didn't do anything wrong, and for the first time in her life, she felt lonely. She felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar that she couldn't climb up to, the polar cold was freezing her body and soul.
Even though she used to be so optimistic. At this time, I was still frustrated by reality.
At six o'clock, on the 35th floor of Shenzhou International Hotel, there is a magnificent and spacious hall. The delicate yellow Omiya lamp hangs in the middle of the roof, and the tassels on the lamp flutter slightly. With a glittering floor and a low-hanging velvet-red drapery.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
There were a lot of people who attended Guo Huaidong and Cheng Nianqiu's engagement party, including not only their relatives and friends, but also many "goddesses of sunshine", as well as some dignitaries.
Among them, Guan Haotian also came, and he sat at the table in the corner with a group of rich second-generation officials and second-generation officials. Guan's Group has had a lot of cooperation with DD Mall, and this trip to Guan Haotian came on behalf of Guan Yafu.
At this moment, Guan Haotian's eyes roamed around the banquet site, seriously looking for Cheng Xiaorui's figure.
There was also a person from the Fang family. Fang Ruojin, who is Cheng Nianqiu's senior sister, shares the table with people from City C Normal University.
Before the engagement ceremony began, Cheng Xiaorui was already very hungry, so she told her aunt and aunt at the same table, and then hid outside on the balcony to nibble on snacks. The white moonlight shone on her waterfall-like black hair, and cast a hazy silhouette on her lonely body.
This will make her bite the apple while refreshing the phone on the table and reading the news of the last few days.
"Xiaorui ......" Guo Huaidong, who was dressed in a groom dress, suddenly walked over.
Cheng Xiaorui was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, she hurriedly glanced at him, and quickly lowered her head to withdraw her gaze, and said, "Long time no see." Brother-in-law ......"
"Brother-in-law?" Guo Huaidong frowned, Cheng Xiaorui's name for him made his heart sour. Slowly sat down on the stool next to Cheng Xiaorui and said, "Xiaorui, you still call me Brother Huaidong." ”
As soon as he sat down, Cheng Xiaorui immediately became uneasy and scared, her eyes were mixed here, if she was seen, it would inevitably cause misunderstanding, which would make her reputation even worse, and she bit her lip and said, "Okay." Whatever you call it, I'll go over there and hang out. Excuse me! ”
After Cheng Xiaorui finished speaking, she stood up and hurriedly swept him away. She wants to avoid suspicion.
"No......" Guo Huaidong grabbed her arm in a panic, and always wanted to say and stopped: "Xiaorui......"
Cheng Xiaorui shook his hand, and instantly added a bit of anger to his little face, and said, "Please respect yourself!" ”
She really can't understand what Guo Huaidong means? He's about to get engaged to his sister, so why is he still tugging at her heartstrings?
In the past, Cheng Xiaorui's mind often flashed such a scene, she and Guo Huaidong wore newcomer dresses, stood on the stage in the limelight, and exchanged diamond rings and sweet kisses in their blessings and cheers.
However, fantasy is only fantasy in the end, and reality is far from it. Now Guo Huaidong's bride is Cheng Nianqiu, her sister.
When she first came in, Guo's father and Guo's mother walked past her. Dad Guo was wearing a shirt and tie, and he looked very energetic, but when he looked at her, his eyes dodged, and he seemed to be embarrassed. Guo's mother, who was dressed in a foreign style, simply didn't look at her, as if she would stain her eyes.
In short, Cheng Xiaorui's heart is like ashes, and she has no life. She bowed her head and pouted, walked out of the balcony with an unhappy expression, and went around a huge gauze screen to return to the ceremony.
Although it was only an engagement ceremony, it was very formal.
Before you know it, there are only ten minutes left before the prospective newcomers debut, the lights on the scene have become much weaker, and the guests have already quieted down, sitting peacefully, eating snacks on the table while looking at the stage in front of them with their spare eyes.
Only Cheng Xiaorui and a few waiters were still standing, and she was conspicuous, and she was finally caught by Guan Haotian's thief.
"Cheng Xiaorui, you are really here." Guan Haotian whispered to himself, his lips, which were as thin as cicada wings, hooked coldly, and he didn't bother to say hello to the people next to him and got up.
Guan Haotian has always been arrogant, and today he was wearing a pure black T-shirt, looking even more cold and gloomy, he walked towards Cheng Xiaorui and stopped her in a darker corner.
The last time he was taken away by the police and locked up overnight, and he played 3P with his bodyguards and several big men on the Blue Seagull, Guan Haotian lost face, and naturally hated Fang Mowei in his heart, but he didn't hate Cheng Xiaorui. To him, Cheng Xiaorui is a delicious fruit, a funny thing, she is not guilty, but the person who snatched her is guilty.
When Cheng Xiaorui saw Guan Haotian, she was stunned, and even her soul flew away.
"You ......" she stared at him with round, stupid and frightened eyes, unable to speak.
She remembered that she had offended Guan Haotian, and because of her, he was locked up in the police station overnight.
Cheng Xiaorui lowered her head and tried her best to shrink her sense of existence. She wanted this, so that she could escape.
Guan Haotian's expression was a little flattering, looking at Cheng Xiaorui with a smile, and suddenly took her hand and dropped a kiss on the back of her hand, "Miss Xiaorui, we meet again." ”
Cheng Xiaorui quickly withdrew her hand and asked nervously, "What are you doing!" ”
Guan Haotian frowned, and it happened that at this time, newcomers Guo Huaidong and Cheng Nianqiu stepped on the red carpet accompanied by videographers and photographers.
Cheng Nianqiu saw that Cheng Xiaorui was too rude, so he took a few steps to their side, looked at Cheng Xiaorui and asked unhappily: "Xiaorui, Young Master Guan is a heavyweight guest invited by his sister and brother-in-law, he kisses the back of your hand, which means that he respects you and worships you, why are you so resistant?" ”
Cheng Xiaorui's little face fell, and she also looked at Cheng Nianqiu, her expression was very aggrieved, "No, sister, I ......"
However, when her words came to her lips, she stopped. Could it be that she said in public that Guan Haotian was a wolf and a bad person, and that she had taken off her clothes and blasphemed her?
No, of course not, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Guan Haotian knew what he was thinking, smiled again, glanced at Cheng Nianqiu with cold starry eyes, and said, "Nianqiu, Miss Xiaorui may be shy, it's okay." ”
Guo Huaidong also walked over and said deliberately, "Young Master Guan, thank you for coming to our engagement banquet, please take a seat and have a drink inside." ”
Guan Haotian squinted slightly, looked at Cheng Xiaorui again, and was silent. Cheng Nianqiu said, "Xiaorui, you take Young Master Guan to sit on the table." ”
Cheng Xiaorui bit her lip slightly, Cheng Nianqiu is her sister, and her engagement banquet, she should be busy with this, and it is difficult to refuse.
"Oh." She nodded and took Guan Haotian to the table.
When Cheng Xiaorui and Guan Haotian turned around, Guo Huaidong asked Cheng Nianqiu very coldly, "What do you mean?" ”
"What do you mean?" Cheng Nianqiu's eyebrows turned crooked, with a puzzled look.
Guo Huaidong had a hint of anger between his eyebrows, squeezed his fists and said, "Just pretend to be garlic!" ”
He didn't know that Cheng Xiaorui had offended Guan Haotian, but he knew Guan Haotian's character, and Guan Haotian's behavior just now was clearly thinking about Cheng Xiaorui.
Cheng Xiaorui led Guan Haotian to the upper seat, and the two walked one after the other, only one step apart.
When he was about to arrive, Guan Haotian suddenly increased his stride, caught up with Cheng Xiaorui's hand, hooked her waist, and said with a smile, "Miss Xiaorui, you are very beautiful today." ”
He is very tall, about the same height as Fang Mowei, condescending, just when he saw Cheng Xiaorui's career line, Cheng Xiaorui couldn't stop it, his face was crimson, and he said as he walked: "Guan Haotian, today is my sister's engagement banquet, what's the matter, let's talk about it later?" ”
"Xiaorui, you misunderstood me, I came to congratulate your sister on her engagement, and I have no other ideas." Guan Haotian has always been cold and hard, but he is smiling very gentlemanly at the moment.
"Then you let me go!" Cheng Xiaorui shook his hand vigorously and said very politely.
Guan Haotian grabbed it tighter, hooked his lips and asked her in a whisper, "Miss Xiaorui, you and Fang Mowei are together, what is your family's attitude?" ”
Cheng Xiaorui's face turned slightly pale, stopped, and looked at Guan Haotian in a panic. The matter between her and Fang Mowei was not clear in a few words, and it was in the past, and now she didn't like anyone to mention it.
Guan Haotian threw her hand, his long finger swiped slightly across her cheek, and said, "Don't be afraid of the little girl, I don't mean anything else." ”
How could Cheng Xiaorui believe his nonsense, he was not a good person, and he mentioned Fang Mowei to her at this moment, he definitely had ulterior motives and uneasy intentions!
"Guan Haotian, I'm sorry for the last incident, please don't worry about me." Cheng Xiaorui lowered her voice, didn't dare to say anything, and didn't dare to offend him. (To be continued)
