Chapter 182: The Man Who Comforts the Clouds
On Christmas night, the streets of Pengcheng were still lively even though it was midnight. In anticipation of the festive season, many shops are open until the early hours of the morning. Even though the weather is cold, groups of people can still be seen everywhere. There are more cars on the streets than usual.
Out of the game city, the neon flashes in front of me, and the overgrown stop at the roadside traffic light.
Wang Yanhui said goodbye without saying goodbye when he proposed, and he couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect you to be so bold that you ran away without saying a word." β
Mansheng turned his head and smiled, "I have asked someone to tell them when they come back, so I don't want to say nothing." β
"You say, what will they think of us? Did I kidnap you, or did you kidnap me? Wang Yanhui asked again, obviously stunned by her amazing behavior, but he also found it funny, "Or, do you think we ran away privately?" β
"None of these three possibilities sounds like a good outcome." Mansheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "I don't want to be labeled like this. β
"It's a pity that it's too late, and from the moment we leave secretly, it's going to be reverie." Wang Yanhui smiled back and asked, "So now, where are you going to take me?" β
In fact, Mansheng didn't want to go anywhere, but simply wanted to leave those rights and wrongs, the place that would suffocate her, "Actually, I don't have any place I want to go, I just don't want to stay anymore, after all, Chief Wang is so bright, it's too conspicuous." β
"Are you creating an opportunity for your master to be alone with Huo Zhijing?" Wang Yanhui understood what she meant, although it was half-true.
Mansheng neither admitted nor denied it, but asked rhetorically, "I think anyone who sees Chief Wang will think that you are brilliant." β
"The talented girls in the Chinese department are so flexible and good at use?" Wang Yanhui felt very fresh about her use of the word "splendid" to describe herself.
"Isn't it?"
"If I am resplendent in gold, then how should your master describe it?" Wang Yanhui asked again, "There are many talented people in the Wei family, but he can be called the only one in the entire family. Even if all the children of Haicheng's families attended the same banquet, he would definitely not be overwhelmed, but would be the focus wherever he went. β
Although Wang Yanhui didn't mention half a word about his appearance, he understood and responded directly, "Yanguan Qunfang, is it enough?" β
Wang Yan smiled back, "Enough!" It's not very appropriate, but the mood is there! Since you don't have a particular place you want to go, then it's up to me to take you somewhere! Could it be that you took me out and just wanted me to send you back as yourself? β
Mansheng knew that this was really a bit unreasonable, "I have to go to work on time tomorrow, I'm afraid I can't get up too late, I don't know where you're going to take me?" β
"Don't worry, it's not too far if you don't go out of town. I drank alcohol today and had a driver to drive. Wang Yanhui seemed to have penetrated her hesitation a long time ago, "Before twelve o'clock, I will send you back on time, and I won't let you be criticized by the master." β
The next moment, the two of them had already got into the car, and the driver set up the car and carried them around Pengcheng again.
It's not that they're alone, and they don't feel so vigilant anymore, but the phone starts to "buzz" and vibrate.
At a glance, it was Zeng Ruoshui calling.
Wang Yan replied to the gentleman, "Don't worry, let's answer the phone." β
Mansheng picked up the phone, Zeng Ruoshui was here to send Christmas blessings, she was spending the holiday with Shao Xuan, the noisy music shouted, the voices of the two eased the cramped car at the moment, and also let Mansheng no longer have to think about how to go back and forth with Wang Yan.
It's just that it's not convenient to talk for too long, and after about ten minutes, the line is hung up.
Wang Yanhui looked out the window politely and didn't bother her until the conversation stopped, and then he said, "It's your friend?" β
"Yes, they're here to wish me a Merry Christmas...... Mansheng replied, just after one phone call, another bell rang here!
The constantly vibrating mobile phone and the piercing ringtone sounded like an alarm bell in the car, and Mansheng found that the long-lost two words flashed on the screen - Wei Rong!
It's his call, and after being dusty for too long, it can't help but light up, and it occupies the line of sight!
β¦β¦
Mansheng didn't know what he was trying to say when he called her at this time, but she could almost conclude that it was either a strong order or a strong question, so she chose to hang up the phone directly!
But who knows, after hanging up, he continued to call, just like a deadly serial CALL!
She frowned, she directly muted her phone, and then put it back in her bag, out of sight!
Wang Yanhui still looked out the window, and he smiled, "You seem to have a lot of friends, it seems to be a blessing again, why don't you take it?" β
"I made a mistake just now." She looked ahead and asked, "By the way, where are you going?" β
"A quiet place and a caring place." Wang Yanhui turned around and gave her such an answer.
β¦β¦
"Sorry, the user you dialed is currently unanswered, please dial again later......" I don't know how many calls it is, but there is still no answer on the other end!
Wei Rong held the phone, his sword eyebrows were raised, and his thin lips were also pursed.
After Huo Zhijing came out of the game city, she wanted to go to the next amusement place to continue the carnival, but Wei Rong stopped her, "It's not early, I'll send you back." β
So, Huo Zhijing could only be sent home by him.
But on the way home to send her, Huo Zhijing saw that Wei Rong kept dialing her mobile phone, although she was sitting beside her, she didn't look at who he was dialing. It's just that none of these countless phone calls were successful. And he continued to press the dial button, repeating the same action over and over again.
Huo Zhijing really couldn't stand it, but she didn't dare to make a sound, because of Wei Rong's appearance at this moment, the whole person was so quiet that people didn't dare to approach!
Until she returned to the Huo family's villa, Wei Rong sent her in, Huo Zhijing took his hand and said, "Let's watch a movie together, right?" β
"You can find one for yourself to see, I still have to leave beforehand." Wei Rong finally spoke, but who knew that Huo Zhijing was rejected!
Finally, Huo Zhijing couldn't help shouting, "Are you going to find her?" You were just calling her just now, and she didn't answer, what are you still looking for her? β
In the face of her shout, Wei Rong looked at her.
"It's her and Wang Yanhui who ran away, you are still worried about her, what do you care about her!" Huo Zhijing was puzzled and depressed, and felt unworthy that he cared so much about Lin Mansheng at the moment, "She didn't think of you as his master at all!" You're still so good to her! In fact, she has already gotten back to Wang Yan! But you don't know yet, she will betray you! β
Huo Zhijing took his hand, unwilling to let him go, and shouted angrily, "Her heart has returned to Wang Yan, don't recognize her anymore, okay!" β
Huo Zhijing shouted out completely, but as soon as the female voice stopped, she found that he was just looking at herself quietly, still quiet and trembling, but he could not be shaken at all, it was he who said, "No matter what she does, in this life, I will take care of her!" β
Huo Zhijing was dumbfounded, her hand was also trembling, and he had let go of her hand, she wanted to catch him, but she found that she couldn't, which made her discouraged and lost, making her more and more angry and shouting, "Maybe, she has long been Wang Yanhui's woman!" Slept next to Wang Yanhui! β
As soon as the words came out, in exchange for his cold eyes, Huo Zhijing rarely saw him like this, it seemed that in his memory, there was only one time, that was the only time!
"In the future, don't let me hear you say such things again!" Suddenly, he said in the same cold male voice.
Huo Zhijing couldn't speak anymore, he had already turned around and left directly.
She couldn't hold him any longer, she just watched him go farther and farther away, and she was still frozen in place.
It's as if, everything has changed, and before you know it, it has changed!
β¦β¦
"School?" Standing in front of a school, she spoke curiously.
Just now, the car drove her all the way, and Mansheng was suspicious in his heart, and he didn't know where Wang Yanhui was going to take her, the quiet and loving place in his mouth was actually a school!
Mansheng looked at this school, but found that it was not an ordinary school, but an art school for special education.
It's just a signboard at the door, and there is a line of small words below - don't be surprised, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court. Go and stay unintentionally, looking at the sky and clouds.
Mansheng knows the significance of this type of school, and the students admitted are students with special needs, and some of them have lost their normal abilities, so it is difficult to enroll.
Wang Yan stepped back, but the school guards recognized him and immediately opened the school gate.
"Go in and have a look?" Wang Yan turned back and invited.
Curious even more, she stepped forward and followed him in.
Of course, there were no students and no teachers in the school at night, only the guards on duty were still there. There were no lights in the teaching building, but the playground was still bright, and it was Wang Yanhui who ordered the guards to light the lights. Mansheng quietly followed Wang Yanhui and came to the playground for a stroll.
"Why did you bring you here without asking me?" Wang Yanhui was the first to speak.
Mansheng looked at the quiet campus, and there was music in the distance, probably who was playing Christmas songs, faintly, she could hear, she replied, "Could it be that this school is invested and built by Chief Wang?" β
Wang Yan smiled back, "When you talk to others, you can talk to others like this?" β
"So, I guessed right?" Mansheng was no longer shocked, and now successful people also have a love for charity. Of course, some of them are also for fame, and some of them really want to give love, and at this moment she asked, "Is Chief Wang to increase his popularity, or is it just to give love?" β
"If it's me, of course, it's a combination of the two." Wang Yan smiled back.
Sprawl snaps to the keyword, "What if?" β
"To be precise, this school is not my construction investment, but now it has something to do with Poly." Wang Yanhui said again, his gaze looking at the night sky in front of him.
Mansheng was confused by his words, and at this moment she thought again, "Is it Huineng Investment?" β
"It is indeed an educational school invested by Huineng." Wang Yanhui replied in the affirmative, "In addition to this one, there are many more, not only in Pengcheng, but also in other cities." β
"It's just that, as far as I know, not only Huineng Investment, but also another person was involved in it back then, and until now, all the expenses have been paid by him." Wang Yanhui spoke slowly, making Mansheng begin to ponder, and there was only one person she could think of - Wei Rong!
Wang Yanhui stopped his steps, and he looked back and said, "I think you should have guessed, this person is your master." β
Mansheng was not surprised, maybe because Wei Rong was an indefinite person, or maybe because she had long known that he had a good relationship with Huo Zhijing, putting aside right and wrong, she said sincerely, "This is very good, it is right to know how to reciprocate and care for children." β
"You don't mind?" Wang Yanhui looked at her and asked, "He is so attentive and dedicated to another woman." β
Any woman, as long as she is tempted and emotional, where will she not care, Wang Yanhui is really questioning!
β¦β¦
Under the moonlight, Mansheng's mood at the moment is complicated, the closer she gets to Huo Zhijing, the more she finds that he loves and cares for her, the more she will be unable to bear it, but even so, she still has to say, "Goodwill is a priceless treasure, which each of us should cherish and keep, if I still have to mind, then I, as a person, won't I live in vain?" β
"However, I still want to thank you for cooperating with me like this tonight, and behaving well with me to compete for favor!" When Mansheng mentioned everything tonight, she also said, "It's just that in the future, I still don't want it." β
"Why?" Wang Yan asked back.
Mansheng smiled and said, "I don't want to spread rumors, such as the CEO of Poly Group pursuing a female subordinate, which is not a good thing for you." β
Although it is not in Haicheng, but far away in Pengcheng, Mansheng has long known that there is no impermeable wall, and if you are not careful, it will spread. Before the hypothesis becomes possible, she must be completely killed.
"Isn't that a good thing for you?" Wang Yanhui asked her rhetorically.
"If I want to use you to gain something, then it should be a good thing, after all, you are a pivotal figure in Poly." But the troubles that come with it should not be small, you are the eldest or younger of the Wang chaebol, I don't dare to climb high. β
"Are you worried that people from the Wang family will come to talk to you?" Wang Yanhui asked again.
Mansheng denied it, "No, with my identity, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to let your family send someone to talk to me." If it's a rumor, why believe it? It's just that there must be a lot of celebrities who have gossiped about you, maybe there will be such a person or two, who happened to pass by or happened to meet me, and came to talk to me, then I really have to be flattered. β
"In order to avoid the above situation, I also hope that Chief Wang will also let me live!" Mansheng said in a relaxed tone, but there was a serious look in his eyes.
Wang Yan looked back at her, and suddenly found that every time she came into contact with her, she seemed to have a new understanding, which was a wonderful feeling.
"Also, I'm curious about you, too." Creeping said suddenly.
Wang Yan looked back with suspicion, "Where are you curious?" β
"It can be seen that you are usually an informal person, but is it true that the girls who go out with you will give you the ice cream that they can't finish eating? Or, usually, those girls will directly feed the peeled grapes to your mouth? Mansheng said with a smile, but he still remembered the scene in his mind, it was Wang Yanhui who took his ice cream directly.
Of course, Wang Yanhui never forgot Fang Cai, "So, you mind?" β
"Of course." Mansheng replied directly, "This kind of opportunity, I want to leave my other half." I think you should keep it with your other half, otherwise, the other person may not feel your liking for her. β
She was stubborn and serious, even more serious about an ice cream, this stubbornness ushered in the cold wind, and stabbed Wang Yan back to the heart.
"But I knew you were doing it just to behave well with me." Mansheng smiled and said, wanting to resolve the impasse at the moment, "Thank you." β
"It's just that I won't need to do it next time." Wang Yan replied to her words, and the second half of the sentence she had never spoken, but the meaning was obviously refusal.
Sprawling nodded and said, "Yes!" β
The light faded into a dim orange yellow, shining on his body and on that face, Wang Yanhui suddenly said, "Actually, he is not only your master, but also the person you want to leave the ice cream for him!" β
"You like him." Wang Yan said quietly.
The surroundings were quiet, only his voice sounded, and slowly spread out in his ears, standing in place, the world was clear, like her heart, it was also so clear.
I didn't dare to admit it before, and I didn't want to believe it, but it was actually her feelings!
Actually, she wanted to escape.
Even if it is cowardice, she would rather never see each other again than the torment of seeing each other every day.
What she is really afraid of is that although she can do it without entanglement, she can't control her heart, and she won't be painful and sad anymore because of him, or even throbbing and attracting!
This is the most uncomfortable and sad place for Mansheng, but until today, the scene in front of the crane machine seems to make Mansheng sober.
She still likes him like this!
This is really helpless, but it is the reality!
But Wang Yanhui smiled slowly and said, "How can it be, you and he have a master-apprentice relationship, if you like him, wouldn't it be incest." What's more, you also know that you are where you are today, and it is all because of him. However, do you know why he has such a good relationship with Huo Zhijing? β
Suddenly mentioned Huo Zhijing again, which made Mansheng really unknown, but in the next second, Wang Yan opened his mouth and said a name, which was a woman's name that Mansheng had never heard of.
"Huo Zhijing, she has an older sister - Huo Yunshu!"
Huo Yunshu, Huo Yunshu.
Mansheng read this unfamiliar name, clear and cloudy, just against the backdrop of this school, just as a line of small words on the signboard of Fang Cai wrote-Look at the sky and clouds!
Suddenly, Mansheng froze: Behind this school, behind Huo Zhijing, it is actually this Huo Yunshu!
β¦β¦
"Actually, I've always been curious, how could Wei Rong be so interested in Huo Zhijing. Although it is said that the Wei family and the Huo family have some contacts, they cannot be called close. There are so many families who are good friends with the Wei family, and Huineng is nothing. But after thinking about it, I seem to understand. Wang Yanhui was always smiling, and he whispered, as if he was speaking with an outsider's attitude.
The chaos of her thoughts, and the countless pasts entangled in an instant, made her almost breathless.
This school is invested by Huineng Investment, but Wei Rong is also involved! If it is really as Wang Yanhui said, then the current expenses are all paid by him, and the reason why he is doing this is actually related to Huo Yunshu?
Could it be, could it be that β
All of this is for Huo Yunshu?
"He's just for Huo Yunshu!" The male voice in her ear passed through violently again, as if it had given a blow to Mansheng, making her hesitation come true.
Mansheng came back to his senses and found that Wang Yanhui was staring at him, "Over the years, he has assisted so many daughters in China, all for Huo Yunshu." Now he cares so much about Huo Zhijing, and it is also for Huo Yunshu. Everything he did was for Huo Yunshu. β
"If it's for her, then why not just go and help her? Do you want to help others? She couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't understand that a huge whirlpool was coming, almost engulfing her, and in an instant she lost her cool and lost her mind, "He never mentioned Huo Yunshu!" β
"How could he mention it?" Wang Yanhui smiled, and the male voice drifted away with the wind, making Mansheng even more incredulous, "The eldest lady of the Huo family has long been someone else's fiancΓ©e. Unfortunately, the family that is engaged to her is our Wang family! β
The repeated shocks made Mansheng almost unable to reply, Huo Yunshu was already engaged to the Wang family? That's why he didn't say a word, that's why he couldn't bear it, so he ordered and warned her, and didn't allow her to ask Huo Zhijing, his relationship with her?
Mansheng looked at Wang Yanhui again, and came up with a guess, "Which one of Huo Yunshu and the Wang family is engaged?" β
Wang Yan replied, "You think it's me?" β
Isn't it? Mansheng questioned his intentions, if it had nothing to do with him, why did he tell her all this so suddenly?
Wang Yan replied, "The person who is engaged to Huo Yunshu is a cousin of mine and a member of our family. β
Mansheng couldn't believe it, she looked at him silently and didn't say anything.
Wang Yan looked back at the doubt in her eyes, and he smiled, "I have no interest in my brother's fiancΓ©e, and I will never be interested. β
"Then what's your point in telling me this today?" Mansheng couldn't help but ask, her whole person was already in a mess!
"Nothing else." Wang Yanhui said, "It's just casually talking, you must not take it seriously, and don't ask him if it is true or false." Because these are just my personal guesses, you know that if it spreads, it will not be good for my family and the reputation of the Huo family. β
He admonished in a high-sounding voice, but from the time he arranged her to come here, to this moment, every step was deliberate, and every step was to lead her into the game!
In the silence, Wang Yan replied, "It's almost time, I'll send you back." β
β¦β¦
Walking out of the educational school, the car drove all the way to the residence, and on the way out, Mansheng never said a word again. It wasn't until the car arrived at the downstairs of the apartment where she lived that Mansheng immediately got out of the car.
Wang Yanhui also got out of the car and sent her to the door of the building, "I'll send you up?" β
"No, it's safe here." Sprawling back.
Wang Yanhui no longer insisted, "Good night." β
"Thank you, Chief Wang, your surprise is really surprising!" Mansheng finally understood his intentions this time.
"You're welcome, just a Christmas present from me." Wang Yanhui didn't forget to put the star doll in her hand, and said with a smile, "Are you happy now?" No more being kept in the dark. β
Without saying a word, she turned around and swiped her door card to enter the building. Just turned the corner of the corridor, but she stood alone at the elevator entrance for a long time.
She can't tell the truth from the false, what is the truth, and who is he for?
In the past, she could ignore it as if everything had nothing to do with her, but now when she heard about this Huo Yunshu, she found that she had no way to ignore it anymore, she wanted to know everything!
β¦β¦
Twelve o'clock in the night came, and she went upstairs, and she took out the key to open the door.
There are only two houses on this floor, one is usually Ren Xiang lives alone, and the other is where she and Yu Anan live together. Today, the corridor is exceptionally quiet, and Yu An'an's shouting can usually be heard.
The door slowly opened, and sure enough, it was pitch black in the house, with no lights on and no one in the room.
Today is Christmas, obviously Yu An'an will not return early, and she and Ren Xiang should also go to the world of two.
Sprawling closes the door with a backhand, only to find himself so restless.
It's just that all of a sudden, I heard a "click-" sound!
That's the sound of a lighter!
Surprised, how could there be people in the apartment?
She immediately turned to look, because she was so panicked that she even forgot to turn on the light, but she looked over in a hurry, only to find that the figure on the sofa in the living room was sitting in silence, almost blending into the darkness. If it weren't for the white light coming from the window behind her, she would have been almost indistinguishable!
Creep is really frightened!
She then thought of turning on the light, and when the light was turned on, she found that he was sitting on the sofa, and he was looking at her with heavy eyes, smoking alone.
It's just that those eyes, the vultures, are staring at themselves, cold and cold, without a little temperature!
He didn't say a word, Toshihiko was as cold as ice under the light, which inexplicably made people feel more and more flustered, as if he had done something very wrong, something unseemly!
But why does he have such an illusion, and why does he look at himself like this?
She asked, "Why are you here?" Why don't you turn on the lights? β
He was just smoking, but on the coffee table in front of him, there was not a single cigarette butt in the ashtray, apparently it was his first cigarette since he arrived!
Mansheng didn't know when he arrived, but he also knew the sound of the lighter, as if he was alerting himself that he was waiting for her!
"Today is Christmas, and as Master, I haven't said a word to you, Merry Christmas." He finally spoke, speaking in a calm voice.
But under this calm, it makes people feel even more panicked and palpitated!
"Have fun? I went out for one night, got off work at five o'clock until now, and it has been past twelve o'clock in the morning. It seems that I should set a rule for you, otherwise others will know, and I will be such a person with no family rules. He said again, his eyes were still as cold as ice!
Mansheng thought of everything tonight, and also thought of Yu An'an and Ren Xiang, "Please don't order Ren Xiang to use Yu An'an in the future!" β
Yu Anan is not a girl who can lie, she has a lively and cheerful personality, and she is serious and responsible, but she is usually nervous, so she didn't think that she would be deliberately left alone today. But it wasn't until she found out on the phone that Ren Xiang was also in the game city, she wouldn't believe that it was Yu Anan who obeyed Wei Rong, but she could definitely believe that this was his order to Ren Xiang!
"How do you say it's exploiting?" Wei Rong curled the corners of his lips, and his smile was ethereal, "I just care about you, you go out with a girl, and you are with a man, and you are not familiar with the place, of course I have to send someone to accompany you." I don't want to ruin your interest, so let Secretary Yu come with you, aren't you very good with her? Why, she's by your side, and you're going to be dissatisfied? Is she bothering you and not having a chance to be alone? β
His eerie male voice, indifferent gaze, in the cold weather, everything is so cold!
β¦β¦
Mansheng frowned and said, "An An, she is very simple, don't take advantage of other people's innocence!" I'm an adult, I can go wherever I want, and I can date whoever I want! Even if I want to be alone with others, can't I? β
"Yes, of course." The corners of Wei Rong's mouth raised, and he seemed to smile, "Why not?" β
"You can hug him in front of me, or you can disobey me again and again in front of him. You can also hand him your own ice cream to eat. You can even run away with people without saying a word. The tone was getting more and more gloomy and weird, and under his gaze, the creeping Sheng actually found that he had no way to move!
His feet seemed to take root, and the vines were nailed here, and his strong aura filled the surroundings, it was too terrifying!
"He opened his mouth to admit it, saying that he was pursuing you. Are you planning to be with Wang Yanhui now? You shouldn't have asked me if I agreed, no matter what, I'm your master. Wei Rong smiled, he said to himself, but people couldn't refute it!
He was still saying that Creep felt like he was about to suffocate, "Are you really so satisfied with him?" Have you to let him catch the doll for you? β
Wei Rong's eyes fell on her, and of course he saw the star doll she put in her bag, the dazzling color pierced into her eyes!
"Even if it's an entire game city, I won't buy it for you? You're just out there for me, so I can't wait? Wei Rong's deep eyes locked her tightly!
His words are all accusations against her, and they are all false accusations! Creeping could barely breathe, and under this oppression, she could no longer be silent after a long period of endurance!
"What about you?" In an instant, his reason was out of the chain, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Even if I can't wait, what are your feelings?" Caring and loving for other people's sisters, taking care of them wholeheartedly, and even using a year to set up a game, just to win what she wants! Do you can't wait for the eldest lady of the Huo family? β
Wei Rong's gloomy eyes froze, then narrowed slightly, staring at her through the narrow gap, "He told you?" What did they say to you! β
He was nervous, because she had finally heard about the real Miss Huo?
"Only today did I know that everything you did was for her! are all Miss Huo, and they are all daughters of the Huo family, but is it Huo Zhijing, but Huo Yunshuββ! "The creep tore the layer of paper that was blocking in front of him, and everything seemed to be understood!
Why does he care about Huo Zhijing, but never admit that she is his girlfriend or fiancΓ©e, just because-
The person who lives in his heart is actually Huo Yunshu!
