Huo Yanchen's words made me vaguely guess something, but I didn't want to admit it, and I didn't want to verify it, I pushed the invitation far away in a panic, I changed from squatting on the ground to sitting on the ground, my arms tightly hugged my knees, and I only looked at the golden-pink paper through the gap in my hair.

Huo Yanchen was amused by my caution and fear, he took the lighter and fiddled back and forth on his fingertips, every time he flipped and bumped on the edge of the table, there was a thrilling crisp sound, I was so annoyed that I shouted at him if I could stop moving, he really stopped, but only stopped for a second, and continued like that.

"What are you afraid of, you have already prepared for something, what is there to escape. Are you so cowardly in your bones? ”

I didn't want to pay attention to him, I got up from the ground, and planned to leave immediately, to leave this place of right and wrong, and not to give anyone a chance to hurt me, but I found that I didn't have any strength on my feet, so I supported the floor with my palms, and before I could stand firmly, my legs trembled and I sat down again, and my hips were so painful from the blow that I turned pale, I was unwilling to try a few more times, but it still didn't work, all my reason was attracted by that invitation, and it turned my world upside down, I hate myself for being so incompetent and wasteful, I don't struggle anymore when I break the can, Huo Yanchen continues to force me, "Open it and take a look." ”

I stared at him motionless, and he said categorically, "You're just afraid." ”

Afraid that this word would shatter my last line of defense, I shook my arms and head vigorously, my hair swaying rapidly in front of my eyes, "I don't have I don't!" ”

I yelled loudly with red eyes, but the choked voice betrayed my lie, there was no closed glass behind the window screen, and a gust of wind poured in, how howling the wind, how cold it was, I was so cold that my skin had goosebumps, my teeth trembled with cold, stumbled together, and made a clicking sound, Huo Yanchen took out a new cigarette, and continued on the cigarette butt that was about to finish smoking, and only the cigarette butt was left, after the new cigarette was ignited, he squinted and continued to smoke, although the smell of smoke was strong, but it was soon blown away by the more and more arrogant wind, I set my eyes on the invitation card that was spread out and fell to the ground, I trembled and stretched out my hand, touched the edge, and carefully dragged it over, I didn't dare to look at it, but I couldn't control the last curiosity to confirm, so that my heart, which was not calm tonight, was re-stirred by him tonight, could die a little faster, a little faster.

I held down one of the corners and slowly uncovered it, and I felt that setting it off was the biggest decision of my life, that it could kill me spiritually and break my soul.

It is very good-looking handwriting, very unfamiliar, beautiful and magnificent, there are two pieces of content written on it, the first is that Uncle Nine invited all the famous people on the road to come to Jinyuan, to wash the dust for him, and at the same time handed over half of the control of the Kowloon Society to Ji Rongke, and the second is to announce that Uncle Jiu's only daughter Lina will marry Ji Rongke as his wife in two months.

Two months later, it should be the season of heavy snowfall, but unfortunately it rarely snows in South China in winter, it always rains, the coldest winter rain, I pinched the corner of the paper, and my teeth bit together fiercely the moment I saw Ji Rongke's name, why didn't you tell me that he would be someone else's husband two months later, why did you just have such an opportunity to talk about it but just kept it hidden. Am I so stupid, so stupid that he doesn't want to say everything, thinking that he can trap me so that I can't touch the day, and can only look up to him and follow him at the mouth of that small well, and be a sad frog?

I threw the invitation away, and it circled and spun at low altitude and finally slipped back in front of me, I ignored it and covered my head, my chest thumping, it was the air that had been inhaled into my lungs that was pounding and crashing into my heart, and the pain of five horses and thousands of arrows piercing my heart.

A blur quickly appeared in front of my eyes, there was a white mist everywhere, I couldn't see anything clearly, I could only cry out loud in despair, crying until my throat hurt to death, I looked at Huo Yanchen with hatred in such a murderous suffocation, he met my hateful gaze with a calm face, "Women are always eager to explore the facts, but they refuse to hear the truth from other people's mouths, it's really stupid." You hate me for telling you such a cruel thing, but at least I don't have the shame to hide and deceive, don't you hate Ji Rongke because of this. ”

"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to know, have you asked me, I don't want you to do it more!"

I grabbed the invitation I had just thrown away from the ground and slashed at Huo Yanchen's face, he didn't hide, he sat there confidently, like watching a clown, struggling in front of people, playing tricks. He knew that I didn't have the strength to throw such a light and weightless thing at him with precision, and sure enough, I failed, and all my strength was not enough for the piece of paper to smash into the corner of the table, and it fell helplessly before my eyes, falling to the place I picked up, and everything went back to square one, back to the beginning.

What was the beginning, it was the time before I met Ji Rongke, but the beginning had already passed, from him who relieved me from Wu Sanye, from him pinching my chest with a smile in his eyes and asking me if my name was Feng Jin, right, from that rainy night, from Jiang Huan's indifferent and resolute eyes, from Ji Rongke's every kindness to me, I was whipped beyond recognition.

Can you still get back the love that you have lost after what happened, if it is like a weightless piece of paper, how good it would be.

Huo Yanchen got up from the chair, he walked around the table towards me, stood in front of me, looked down at me condescendingly, he looked at me for a long time, and probably felt that I didn't need to attack in such an embarrassment, he stretched out his hand and pulled me up from the ground, he was not as gentle as Ji Rongke, he was very arrogant and pulled me into his arms, my nose hit his chest as hard as iron, it hurt my eyes, he waited until I barely stood firm, took a step back and separated from my body, "Do you want to go and see, Uncle Nine is the most pompous, It is said that the Golden Garden was closed yesterday and today, just to welcome this banquet, and the scene was very grand. ”

No wonder Ji Rongke didn't even show his face to Jinyuan, he came to the Carmen banquet directly from the dock, it turned out that Jinyuan was not in business, and he was stepping up the arrangement of Uncle Jiu's big white banquet in the world, they were all in a hurry, in order to achieve the goal, Uncle Jiu wanted to win over Ji Rongke and let him rejoin the Kowloon Association in another way, so as to continue to carry forward the gang that had dominated half a century of prosperity in the eyes of the outside world, and Ji Rongke did not hesitate to gamble on this marriage in order to gain power and expand his wings in South China. And the gambling is very fierce, winning is the country, losing is the bones, but for that chance of winning, no one is willing to give up.

This is great news for all the underworld organizations in South China, but for me, it is just a nightmare, a story that has to end in my bones.

It took me a long few minutes to come back to my senses, and I said to Huo Yanchen in a hoarse voice, "Aren't you going to take Miss Bai with you?" ”

The expression on his face was very indifferent, "She doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, she likes to be the protagonist, and if she can't do it, she doesn't want to be an audience." ”

I raised my head and looked at him with a very blank gaze, "Then you can take me there." ”

He laughed, "Yes." ”

In fact, putting aside the cruel appearance of being left and right for power and greed, Huo Yanchen is not a wicked person who exudes bad intentions from his bones, he had prepared a dress and makeup artist for me when I rushed to the Carmen banquet to meet him the next evening, he didn't inform me at all, and I didn't expect him to be so attentive to me, although I had dressed up carefully in the hotel before I came, but compared with what he prepared for me, it was not eye-catching at all. The make-up artist took me to the car behind him as he instructed, he moved very quickly, he was very skillful, and it didn't take long to make up and hairstyle for me, I changed into the bright red short dress, and looked in the mirror he was holding, I felt very flamboyant, I told him that it was probably not good, it was a bit too eye-catching, and I was not the protagonist, so it was inevitable that I would be suspected of being the host.

Before the makeup artist could open his mouth to explain, the car door was pushed open from the outside, I subconsciously closed my legs to prevent it from walking naked, pressed my hand on the skirt and clasped it tightly, Huo Yanchen stood outside the car and looked at me, he smiled and said, "Isn't it good to be eye-catching, do you want to disappear in the crowd." ”

I didn't expect him to stand outside the car all the time and hear it, I recalled that when the makeup artist dressed me, I felt that my chest was very tight, and I shouted pain, he said that the size was slightly smaller, especially the chest, Boss Huo didn't know my body characteristics very well, I also framed him at the time, what woman's characteristics he grasped at a glance, the makeup artist and I laughed at this for a long time, and it is estimated that he heard it.

I got out of the car with my head bowed, Huo Yanchen took me to the black car in front, we sat in, the bodyguard closed the door from the outside, and after the car started and drove onto the street, he suddenly held my hand next to me, my whole back froze, and the cold sweat that originally broke out because of nervousness turned into hot sweat at this moment.

I was a little hard to believe that he would hold my hand, I kept moving, only my eyes kept turning, the car drove a little further, he still held it, he felt the more and more humid temperature of my hand, and rubbed his palm on it, "Don't be afraid, I will be there the whole time during the banquet." ”

He has pit me many times, and he has beaten me and scolded me, it is said that in my eyes he is a wicked person, but I don't know why, after he said this, my restless and panicked heart still inexplicably stabilized, and even the cold sweat magically regurgitated back and evaporated in the air.

When we arrived at Jinyuan, the entrance was already full of traffic, and the most lively night in South China was probably tonight.

Huo Yanchen took my hand and got out of the car, the reporter who was waiting at the door ran from a distance with a flashing camera, and was stopped by the bodyguards a few meters away from us, they shouted Boss Huo, everyone asked different questions, and couldn't hear a coherent and complete sentence at all, Huo Yanchen used his chest to cover my face, detained me in his arms, escorted me all the way to the VIP passage that the reporter couldn't approach, and walked the red carpet through the hall to enter the banquet hall under the guidance of sign-in etiquette.

Uncle Jiu's influence is not only in North China, but also in South China, and he has not worked together, and he must have heard of it, but although the reception banquet of the Carmen Banquet is lively, most of them are his own people, far from the point where he is moving the people today, it can be seen that Ji Rongke has already come out of the blue, and Uncle Jiu can realize this, of course, he wants to try to get involved with him, so that he can completely hold him and let him be forced to do things for the Kowloon Society out of morality and ethics.

Huo Yanchen led me directly to the front center stage to say hello to Uncle Jiu, and I felt that the upper echelons of the entire South China were all there, regardless of official and businessmen, and it seemed that they could be lost in the blink of an eye.

Uncle Nine was not in the main seat, only a cane was placed there, but no one else was there, and more than 100 bodyguards nearby surrounded the entire venue, each with a walkie-talkie in his hand, and a large piece of it bulged out in his pocket.

Huo Yanchen stopped a waiter passing by and asked where Uncle Nine was, the waiter pointed him in a direction, and he was about to pull me over after inquiring clearly, when I suddenly saw Ji Rongke and Lina coming out of another opposite door.

Lina wore a black dress and a red top hat, her long curly hair hung down on the right side of her chest, and her delicate little face was particularly charming with large aqua blue jewels.

Different from her meticulousness, Ji Rongke is not particularly dressed, he is still wearing the burgundy suit he wore before, but his aura is so good-looking, no matter how ordinary clothes are worn on him, people can't take their eyes off him, he is so personable when he laughs, and he is so mysterious and introverted when he is not smiling, he gently hugged Lina's waist with his right hand, and was smiling and greeting people who came over to say goodbye, and suddenly a particularly loud Mrs. Ji came out of the crowd at this time, and all the voices became more thunderous and high-pitched after half a second of dead silence, Lina's laughing pear vortex and Ji Rongke's gentle eyes both poked a sharp knife in my heart.

Although I knew that Lina would be Mrs. Ji in the morning, I still felt very astringent when I heard others shouting like this, sour, bitter, dry, and all the astringency came flooding.

Huo Yanchen stared at the surging crowd and fanned the flames next to me, "Haven't you registered your marriage yet, what are you so eager to shout, which one is not pleasing to your eyes, tell me, I will help you get angry." ”

I took two deep breaths to hold back all the uncomfortable feelings, I said no, and he sighed with a smile, "You are always so kind, I can't bear it." ”
