A few days later, Locke Manor.
Leng Yunfang's 60th birthday party is in full swing. And the people invited to this banquet are undoubtedly political and business celebrities.
Luo Ji stood at the door and greeted the guests warmly, and then the butler came over and said, "Young master, the banquet will start in less than ten minutes, do you want to prepare first?"
"Okay, I know, you go get busy first!"
Seeing that there was still no figure in front of him, he returned to the lobby with a little frustration in his eyes.
A black Rolls-Royce was parked at the door of Locke's Manor, and the driver was the first to get out of the car, leaving the door open for the co-pilot and the rear compartment.
Immediately, Situ Chuhao, Yin Xiaotao and Grace got out of the car.
Grace looked up at this quaint European-style manor, and said lightly: "This is the famous Locke Manor in G City, I don't think so!" ”
Situ Chuhao also came for the first time, looked at the building, and said: "You have been in Europe for a long time, and you have seen too many such European-style buildings, so you don't feel good when you see this!" I think it's pretty good, let's go, let's go inside, the party is about to begin! It's not good to be late! ”
Situ Chuhao walked in first, while Grace and Yin Xiaotao walked behind him.
Near the gate of the manor, a pair of sharp eyes lingered on Yin Xiaotao.
Maybe it's hindsight, Yin Xiaotao always feels that someone is watching behind her, but every time she looks back, it's not the same. This makes me wonder if I've been too tired lately and hallucinating.
The dresses they wore were not as sexy and revealing as other women, but rather tightly wrapped long skirts, because the ease of their aura and natural beauty was enough to attract people's attention.
Leng Yunfang is over sixty years old and has long since ignored the company's affairs, but the powerful majestic aura is still there, and everyone is polite and respectful to her.
She sat on the sofa and waved at Luo Ji: "Luo Ji, come here!" ”
Luo Ji came. Sit down beside her. Said: "Mom, what's wrong?" ”
"It's said that thirty years later, you, it's time to think about your life's events. Mom is old. I don't know how long I can live. I just hope that I can report my grandson in my lifetime, so you have to work hard to marry Yingying as soon as possible! ”
Her words. Let Hua Yingying, who was standing on the side, cover her mouth happily and smile, happy.
But for Luo Ji, if he wants to marry an arrogant and domineering mayor daughter like Hua Yingying, he really can't do it.
"Mom, I will solve my own marriage, don't worry, I promise you, I will let you hold your grandson within three years!"
"Three years?" Leng Yunfang gestured: "Three years is too long, I can't even wait for a year, otherwise, just take advantage of the gathering of relatives and friends today to announce your marriage to Yingying!" ”
"No!" Luo Ji immediately stood up, glanced at Hua Yingying, who was full of anger, and said, "I can't marry this woman, I want to marry you yourself!" ”
After speaking, he got up and wanted to leave, but was scolded by Leng Yunfang: "What if I have to marry you?" ”
Luo Ji froze and said coldly: "That means that you will lose my son!" ”
"You, you, you!" Leng Yunfang pointed to Luo Ji's departing back and couldn't speak, at this time Hua Yingying ran over and said: "Auntie, you dissipate your anger, Luo Ji is not sensible, don't blame him!" ”
"He is not sensible, he is already thirty years old and still not sensible, he is just going to anger me to death!"
Halfway through the banquet, Situ Chuhao was invited by Leng Yunfang to chat in the living room on the second floor, and Situ Chuhao naturally took Yin Xiaotao and Grace to go.
The so-called chat is to consolidate the cooperation between the two sides and strengthen and deepen investment. This kind of business-like chat made Grace, who wanted to relax and relax, a little impatient.
She carefully observed the flamboyant woman beside Leng Yunfang, and recognized her at a glance as the daughter of the mayor of G City, so she began to mutter, what is the relationship between her and Leng Yunfang and Luo Ji?
Leng Yunfang smiled gently, and was polite to Situ Chuhao, just as she was about to continue, the housekeeper walked in, handed a small box to Leng Yunfang and said: "Madam, this is an uninvited guest who asked me to drag me to give it to you, he said that this thing is very important to you, so I did"
"Oh?" Leng Yunfang took the box suspiciously, opened it gently, and when she saw the jade pendant in the box, she burst into tears with excitement!
This jade pendant was worn by her own hands for her brother when she was a child, and now it has returned to her hands after a lifetime.
took out the jade pendant, and there was a small note underneath, she gently took it out, and it read: Auntie, happy birthday!
Hua Yingying, who was beside her, looked at the note and was confused, because as far as she knew, Leng Yunfang didn't have any brothers and sisters, so she said, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”
Leng Yunfang replied lightly: "No, not much!" ”
Yin Xiaotao sat diagonally opposite Leng Yunfang, looking at the handwriting on the note in her hand and suddenly shocked, she immediately got up, staring at the handwriting on the note one by one, and her excitement was indescribable.
Leng Yunfang was frightened by this sudden work, and Hua Yingying on the side scolded angrily: "You woman, why are you so rude?" ”
Grace and Situ Chu glanced at each other, but they didn't know why, and finally Grace grabbed Yin Xiaotao's hand and said, "Little Tao, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yin Xiaotao began to burst into tears, choked up: "This, this is Leng Yi's handwriting, it is the words he wrote!" ”
Grace trembled, snatched the note and gave it back to Leng Yunfang, and whispered to Yin Xiaotao: "It can't be him, he's no longer there, it's just that he's the same, don't make a fuss!" ”
After Grace finished speaking, she said to everyone: "I'm sorry, my friend is not feeling well, and we want to quit." ”
After she finished speaking, in order to prevent Yin Xiaotao from pursuing it, she pulled her away. But Yin Xiaotao stood in place, staring at the housekeeper, and approached step by step: "Where is the person who gave you the box?" ”
The housekeeper was frightened by her aggressive momentum, and immediately said, "I don't know where he is now, he gave me this box at the gate of the manor!" ”
At the gate of the manor, receiving this important word, she immediately pulled up her skirt and rushed out of the living room
Lingering at the gate of the manor, she searched all over the corner and still couldn't find him, but she still didn't give up. Keep looking. She didn't even let go of every corner of the flower garden.
"Where are you, come out quickly, don't hide from me!"
His tone was choked, and the excitement and pain mixed in his heart were layered on top of each other. It made her confused.
Without exception. Grace. Luo Ji and Situ Chuhao ran out one after another, looking at such a wasteful Yin Xiaotao. It's heartbreaking.
Luo Ji looked at Grace and said, "What's wrong with her, what is she looking for?" ”
Grace sighed, "She's looking, her dead boyfriend!" ”
Dead, boyfriend? Luo Ji formed an image in his mind, and immediately determined that that person must be Leng Yi.
But how could he die?
"Enough, don't look for it anymore, even if you look through all these flowers and plants, it is impossible to find him, he is no longer there, can you be sober?"
Grace hugged Yin Xiaotao and no longer let her torture herself like this, but how could Yin Xiaotao, who had already decided that it was Leng Yi's handwriting, give up?
So she turned her hand, grabbed Grace, and asked, "No, he's not dead, are you lying to me, in fact, he's never dead, right?" ”
Grace was angry, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she slapped it mercilessly, and for a while, the air was still, and even Situ Chuhao and Luo Ji were startled.
Grace breathed a sigh of relief and insisted, "I'm your best sister, how could I lie to you?!" Moreover, how can such a thing be deceived? You've already let go, why are you so impulsive? ”
This slap woke up Yin Xiaotao.
She sat on the ground with an indifferent face and cried bitterly without hesitation.
Situ Chuhao couldn't bear it, and went forward to comfort him, but was preempted by Luo Ji.
Luo Ji squatted down, hugged Yin Xiaotao and comforted: "Xiao Tao, don't be sad, I was very painful when I lost my father, and I couldn't accept the reality!" But the fact has happened, the dead rest in peace, alive and strong! If he had been aware of it, he wouldn't have wanted to see you decadent for him like this, don't you say? ”
"Senior Luo Ji!" Her eyes were hazy with tears, and she glanced at Luo Ji, and leaned sadly into his arms.
Seeing this, Grace suddenly remembered that Yin Xiaotao had said that she and Luo Ji were actually in the same university, and now she finally understood why Luo Ji looked at Yin Xiaotao differently.
Situ Chuhao was a little surprised by Luo Ji's action of hugging Yin Xiaotao, but he ignored it when he was just comforting him, but his heart was still so panicked.
returned to Ziyun Villa, Yin Xiaotao and Grace went back to their rooms, and no one cared about anyone.
Grace in the bathroom looked at herself in the mirror and began to feel whether it was right or wrong for her to hide the truth from Yin Xiaotao like this?
This problem has been buried deep in her heart for three years, and she dare not face it.
At this time, I thought that Yin Xiaotao was really relieved of Leng Yi's death, but I didn't expect that today she would be made jump up with a note similar to Leng Yi's handwriting, if she accidentally saw Leng Yi one day, it would not be a collapse?
She shook her head, not daring to think about it any more, so she was about to take off her clothes and take a shower when there was a knock on the door.
Standing behind the door, she didn't want to open the door, because she didn't know how to face Yin Xiaotao!
knocked several times in a row, but the door was not opened, and Yin Xiaotao thought that she must be angry with herself.
So he said, "Grace, today, I'm sorry!" It's me who is too impulsive! ”
After saying that, before the door could be opened, she turned around and walked away in frustration and went back to her room.
Finally, Grace opened the door, but the door was empty!
