Chapter 561: Broken Dreams
The café in the lobby on the first floor of the Pearl Hotel echoes the soothing and beautiful piano melody, while Beethoven's "To Alice" is a simple piece that you never get tired of listening.
The floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall on one side of the café is transparent and bright, and the garden outside the wall is the inner courtyard of the hotel, which is carefully planted and pruned with flowers and trees to set off the quiet and elegant atmosphere of the café, which is obviously carefully laid out and designed.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, there were a lot of people in the café, and Yang Chen was alone flipping through the financial magazines from the book and newspaper column at the entrance of the café, and his casual and loose clothes covered his fierce muscle lines, slightly suppressing the powerful aura of countless blood-stained accumulations.
"Your tea, sir." The waitress with exquisite makeup smiled and bent down to deliver a pot of Longjing tea, and when she served Yang Chen, her smile was particularly bright and charming.
With a good skin, you can indeed gain the extra favor of the opposite sex.
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, said thank you, behaved like an old aristocrat, impeccable, and then continued to flip through the magazine, the faint bean fragrance permeated by the good Longjing tea evoked his memory of Hangzhou, but that's all, his understanding of tea is far less profound than that of red wine.
The U.S. economy recovered, and international gold prices fell.
The title of an article in a financial magazine attracted Yang Chen, read it carefully, and the article analyzed the various reasons for the sharp drop in international gold prices in recent months.
Another brick home.
Yang Chen, who finished browsing the article, couldn't help but smile.
As a half-hung graduate of the former king of truancy in the management of Ningbo University, Yang Chen questioned that this article, which can make countless professionals unable to find loopholes and has some academic value, is by no means a reflection of self-determination, because he is the mastermind behind the decline in international gold prices.
The 10,000 tons of gold from Devil's Island have been shipped out one after another, and through YCV's operation, they have flowed into the market through multiple channels and silently, becoming the biggest driving force for the decline in international gold prices.
6,000 tons of gold to be realized.
At the current rate, it will be completed next year.
The decline in the price of gold has just begun, and the best is yet to come.
"What are you smirking at yourself?" Wu Rui's voice came from a few meters away, Yang Chen raised his eyes to see that Wu Rui was walking with a smile, wearing a simple black dress with high heels, looking noble, elegant, beautiful and charming, and the men frequently looked back or simply stared intently.
No one saw the fierceness under Wu Rui's beautiful appearance.
"It's fun to look at this" Yang Chen smiled and raised the magazine in his hand, from Wu Rui, he clearly felt the warmth and love of reuniting after a long absence, and there was nothing unusual.
In the end, why is it a joke to refuse marriage despite the old man's ardent expectations? Yang Chen stared at Wu Rui, trying to catch clues that could solve puzzles.
"Why are you looking at me like this, what's wrong?" Wu Rui bent down and sat down while touching her face, dazed and a little overwhelmed.
"Have you been in trouble lately?" Yang Chen asked seriously.
Wu Rui shook his head, also very serious.
"Everything went well?" Yang Chen continued to ask, and Wu Rui nodded.
"That's weird, I really can't think of a reason for you to refuse to marry." Yang Chen simply expressed the doubts in his heart, drank tea slowly, and waited for the answer.
Wu Rui was stunned for a moment, his expression changed slightly, this slight change made Yang Chen on the other side conclude that Wu Rui had an idea, and he continued to stare at her quietly.
"Since you ask, I'll talk about my thoughts, not long ago, I heard about one thing, a girl who loves you for many years and has paid a lot for you, because of disfigurement, is afraid that she will not be worthy of you, and chooses to stay away from you, I also heard that that girl has threatened you with death for you, let you marry me." Wu Rui took a glass of sparkling lemon slices and took a sip, like drinking the strongest wine, her heart twitched, and she was very uncomfortable.
Yang Chen was surprised, some things were indeed hidden from Wu Rui, such as Nalan Tongtong persuading him to marry Wu Rui, but the decision to marry Wu Rui was definitely not caused by Nalan Tongtong's persecution.
"Yang Chen, I know that you love me, and my love for you has never changed, it will not change now, and it will not change in the future, but" Wu Rui took a deep breath, tears glistened in her eyes, hesitated and painfully intertwined her face, and finally said with a heart: "But I can't accept Nalan Tongtong's gift, compared to her generosity, I am too selfish and narrow-minded, she is the woman you should marry." ”
Yang Chen was speechless, only smiling bitterly.
"Really, I'm not kidding, I thought about it for a long time before making this decision." Wu Rui was afraid that Yang Chen would misunderstand her temperament, so she emphasized repeatedly.
"Your Grandpa"
"Grandpa will understand me."
Wu Rui interrupted Yang Chen, as the most favored junior of the huge Wu family, this girl had the confidence to persuade her grandfather to let her grandfather not worry about her.
Yang Chen, who was not a taste in his heart, wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't know what to say, begging, reprimanding, he couldn't do it, not to mention that Wu Rui was really from the bottom of his heart.
There are some things that cannot be forced.
Everyone has the right to choose, he respected Wu Rui's choice, sighed, and asked, "I want to know, who told you?" ”
"Ye Fengyi's words for her daughter were passed out by the Ye family and passed to me, by the way, I will tell you good news, it is said that Tongtong is recovering very well, you should go and see her, I have to go home to accompany grandpa" Wu Rui stood up as she spoke, accompanying her grandfather was just an excuse, afraid to continue to sit down, she couldn't help crying, and took Yang Chen's hand and walked into the marriage hall, her dream, and she broke her dream, how could she not be sad.
Yang Chen then got up, wanting to hold Wu Rui, who was pretending to be calm, feeling that leaving people at this time would only increase sadness, so it was better to talk about it another day, and after a little hesitation, Wu Rui had already left the booth and walked away.
"Don't worry, I will always be your woman." Wu Rui, who walked seven or eight meters and turned around, smiled, sincerely, and then left the café generously, got out of the hotel, got into the car, and cried bitterly.
……………………
Night falls.
The thousand-year-old capital shows the enchanting side of it.
Yang Chen walked out of the Pearl Hotel aimlessly, crossed Zhushikou Street, and the gongs and drums of Liu Laogen's big stage at the entrance of Qianmen East Road were noisy, and the onlookers applauded from time to time.
Under the moonlight, the lonely and vigorous figure was unmoved, with a touch of melancholy, all the way into the lively Qianmen Street, passing a shop, suddenly hearing an old song, the old one is rarely heard on the street.
I have long had enough of the bitterness of love.
People who are lost in love are everywhere.
And I'm not the last.
There are so many sad people, I should be brave.
Don't love too much, miss out, and leave me single.
Yang Chen stopped at the door of the store and listened to the song "Single Love Song", which was very popular when he first entered junior high school, with helplessness, emotion, self-deprecation, and finally relief,
Li Nan, Wu Rui, Anna, Mei Ji, Nalan Tongtong, Shen Yue, Xiao Ruoshui, so many excellent women can't help themselves and love him, what else is there to be sad?
