In the hall on the first floor, music sounded, everyone danced with their own dance partners, Dong Lina sat alone in the corner, waiting for Yan Yi to come down and dance with her for the first time.

Xia Yeqing walked over with a wine glass and asked very gentlemanly, "Miss Dong, can I sit here?" ”

Dong Lina stood up, she knew Xia Yeqing, and said generously: "Chief Xia, please take a seat!" ”

Xia Yeqing sat down very elegantly, touched the cup with Dong Lina, took a sip of wine, put down the glass and said: "Yan Yi is changing clothes on it, and will soon come down to invite you to dance, don't be anxious!" ”

Dong Lina has never been a shy person, and responded with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry, it's just that Chief Xia came alone?" Why didn't you bring a dance partner? ”

Xia Yeqing smiled mysteriously, "My dance partner is not suitable to bring now, and when the right opportunity arises, I will definitely introduce Miss Dong." ”

Dong Lina tilted her head sideways, revealing a mischievous smile, "Okay! Then I'll see. ”

The summer night was almost over, and he resumed his serious appearance, and said: "Miss Dong, Yan Yi is my classmate, he is very shy and shy, he seems to have admired Miss Dong for a long time, but it is not easy to speak, and sometimes he deliberately wants to refuse and welcome, if there is something inappropriate, my old classmate will give her a word here first, Miss Dong don't be surprised!" ”

Dong Lina listened to what he said bluntly, and secretly thought that his relationship with Yan Yi seemed to be really unusual, and she felt a little closer in her heart, and said frankly: "Actually, I also know a little bit about Yan Gongzi, although he has stayed abroad, he is actually very traditional in his bones, of course he will not be surprised." ”

Xia Yeqing waved his hand, "Miss Dong, you are wrong, Yan Yi is the most unbound by tradition, he can't wait to break the tradition, like this kind of parents' order, engagement banquet and the like, the most disdainful, maybe, at this moment, he already wants to escape this wedding banquet and have a romantic love with Miss Dong, which is the most enviable." ”

Although Dong Lina has never stayed abroad, she admires the Western way of falling in love very much, and she admires Yan Yi very much, if Yan Yi is really willing to talk to her about a romantic love, she is naturally very happy, but she is a woman in the end, no matter how simple it is, it is difficult to say, her face is red, and she lowered her head.

Xia Yeqing's words are almost over, Dong Lina likes Yan Yi, he inquired clearly, otherwise he would not act rashly, now with his words, coupled with Yan Yi's weak temperament, he is not afraid that Dong Lina will not be able to entangle him, as long as he is given ten days and half a month of hard work, Yan Yi can die.

As he spoke, Yan Yi had already cleaned up, and Xia Yeqing smiled and got up to leave.

Yan Yi changed into a decent suit, with a delicate cut, which fits his slender and well-proportioned figure just right, with a graceful demeanor, and a bit of elegance and elegance, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a smile with shallow dimples, Dong Lina is fascinated, and she likes this person more and more.

"Miss Dong, hello! Long time no see! Yan Yi has always had a delicate and beautiful voice.

Dong Lina came back to her senses, a touch of red flew on her face, and she stretched out her hand to Yan Yi, her original intention was to shake hands with Yan Yi, but Yan Yi misunderstood, hesitated, and kissed the back of her hand according to Western etiquette, which flattered Dong Lina and didn't withdraw her hand for a long time.

Yan Yi coughed lightly, Dong Lina withdrew her hand in a sneer, and the two sat on the sofa in turn, Yan Yi said: "Miss Dong, I have something to tell you directly, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

Dong Lina was bumping into the deer in her heart, and she still smiled generously and decently on the surface, "Young Master Yan has something to say. ”

Yan Yi didn't like others to call him young master, like a gentleman in the old society, so he said: "Miss Dong, we are all young people in the new era, it's better to call him by his name, you can call me Yan Yi." ”

Yan Yi was originally an ordinary politeness in terms of salutation, but in Dong Lina's eyes, this was a symbol of their closer relationship, and she liked him even more in her heart, and her speech was no longer restrained, and she used a straightforward tone, "Okay, Yan Yi, don't call me Miss Dong, call me Lina." ”

Yan Yi didn't expect to change his title, and put himself in, and it was not good to destroy the image of a gentleman in front of a young lady, so he had to say: "Okay, Lina!" I'll just put it bluntly, actually, I don't want to have this engagement party, I don't like such a tied marriage. ”

Dong Lina listened to Xia Yeqing's words before, and was not surprised by Yan Yi's words, but felt that it was reasonable, and she longed for a romantic relationship with him, so she followed his words and said: "Actually, I don't approve of it either." ”

"So, you understand me, don't you?" Yan Yi asked, almost shaking Dong Lina's hand excitedly.

Dong Lina nodded very sincerely, "I understand, I understand, feudal customs led to the birth of the tragedy of my parents' generation, but I don't want to be like theirs, so I agree with your approach." ”

Yan Yi's eyes lit up suddenly, he obviously misunderstood, Dong Lina also misunderstood, but the misunderstanding between the two people was in each other's hearts, which led to the continuation of this misunderstanding.

Yan Yi didn't expect Dong Lina to be so reasonable, she knew that it was so simple, so she didn't have to deal with her parents, which led to him being locked up for two days, and he couldn't even talk to Song Lingyue on the phone.

The first dance song is over, the second song starts again, Dong Lina saw that he didn't move after speaking, so she acted first, she has the demeanor of a father since she was a child, she has always been decisive in her words and deeds, got up and stretched out her hand to Yan Yi, "Yan Yi, we have reached an agreement, don't you invite me to dance?" ”

Yan Yi raised his head and looked at her, with a beautiful face, a very noble and elegant temperament, reasonable, or took the initiative to invite him to dance, such an avant-garde girl, it was indeed difficult to refuse, Dafang stood up and took her hand and walked to the dance floor.

Xia Yeqing watched the two of them dancing on the dance floor, and raised the corners of her mouth proudly, this Dong Lina really didn't disappoint her, she was proud, she was happy to see everything, and drank a few more glasses of wine.

was drinking freely, a strange middle-aged man, wearing a Zhongshan suit, walked over with a wine glass, "Chief Xia, I haven't seen you for many years, but the chief is still the same!" ”

Xia Yeqing squinted at him, and saw a hint of familiarity, just thinking about who this person was, Xia Yeman walked over, patted Xia Yeqing's shoulder, intentionally or unintentionally patted the location of the scar on his body, and said with a half-smile: "Yeqing, this is President Fang of the Rongxing Chamber of Commerce, don't you remember?" ”

Xia Yeqing's brain "boomed", and remembered that this was the second leader of the bandit who stabbed him back then, but he didn't expect that four years later, he became the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and it was really not a family that didn't get together!

Xia Yeman knew that his brother's anger had risen, so he pressed his shoulder with one hand, used a little strength, hinted that he should be honest, and said with a smile: "Yeqing, today is a good day for the Yan family, President Fang personally came to toast, you can't help but give face." ”

Xia Yeqing put the wine glass on the table and snorted coldly, "Lao Tzu has drunk enough today, and no one will drink any wine!" He turned around and walked away.

President Fang laughed twice, and played a round at the end of the summer night, "President Fang, my brother is young and vigorous, child, don't worry about him." ”

President Fang waved his hand, looking very generous, "How could it be!" Now that we have become the Rongxing Chamber of Commerce, it is too late to confront the chief of customs, and I hope that he has a lot of them, and don't care about the things of the year anymore. ”

Xia Yeqing was in charge of causing trouble, Xia Yeman was in charge of cleaning up the mess, seeing that his younger brother was making trouble again, he led President Fang to go in the other direction, "President Fang, how many drinks will I have with you?" ”

President Fang stretched out his hand, "The chief admires his face, how can Fang not accompany him, please!" ”

At the end of the Xia Mansion, Song Lingyue took the post sent by the Yan family, her heart was like ashes, and the gilded happy words on it were like a hot iron, which burned her heart to death and flattened it at once.

The young owner of Yan's Bank and the daughter of the Dong family are indeed a very good match, what is she Song Lingyue, a young lady from a down-and-out family, and she still expects to enter the door of the Yan family, it is indeed her delusion. Yan Yi, Brother Yi, you still gave up on me after all, I don't blame you, I only blame my bad life.

Song Lingyue felt that she had no life for a while, so she ran upstairs to Xia Yeqing's room, found a pistol in the drawer, and went out with it, the people from the Xia Mansion and Chun Tao wanted to stop her, so she put the pistol on her head, so that no one dared to follow her.

Song Lingyue ran out of the Xia Mansion in one breath, it was already dark, she had never been here before, walking out of this area where dignitaries lived, she got lost for a while, found the wrong direction, walked and walked, and came to the mouth of a dark alley.

There were a few people squatting in the alley smoking, Song Lingyue didn't dare to go in, turned around and walked in the other direction, her high heels stepped on the road "da-da", the people in the alley had already heard it, and saw a fashionably dressed beautiful woman passing by, still alone, and suddenly became ill-intentioned and followed.

Crossing a street and coming to another alley, the lights were even darker, Song Lingyue was worried for a while, not knowing where to go, and when she was hesitating, three angry men behind her came over.

"Little sister, where are you going? Do you want me to send you? A man wearing a broken hexagram, with his trouser belt hanging in half, looking obscene, and with long bangs, walked in front and asked with a smile.

Song Lingyue turned her head and saw three ill-intentioned people, she immediately panicked, raised the gun in her hand and aimed it at them, "Don't come here, I'll shoot if I come over again." ”

The three men were a little scared, after all, the gun doesn't have eyes, but the person in front of him is really a stunner, not to mention the beauty, he looks like a lady from a rich family, such a person, if it doesn't fall in front of them, he doesn't even have a chance to see it in this life, let alone touch it, they hate these rich people the most in their lives, and don't treat them as people.

The lewd man hesitated for a moment, and rushed forward first, Song Lingyue directly pulled the trigger, but did not hear the gunfire as he wished, the sound of "click" seemed to be the most desperate sound in the world, there was no bullet in the gun, Xia Yeqing was afraid of going off, and the pistols at home were not loaded with bullets, Song Lingyue came out in a hurry, and did not check at all.

"Hahaha, little girl, what about scaring us? Brothers, give it to me! ”

As soon as the lewd man greeted, the three of them rushed towards Song Lingyue, Song Lingyue smashed the gun in his hand on the face of the person who rushed over, and when they were dodging, he took off his shoes and ran away with his hand in his hand.

In the summer night, Qing was drinking alone in a corner, thinking that the banquet would be dispersed and he would go back to accompany Song Lingyue early, Adjutant Zhang ran in in a panic, panting and said, "Chief, it's not good, Miss Song has an accident!" I leaned into his ear and said a few words.

The cup in Xia Yeqing's hand "banged" and was crushed by him!
