Chapter 10. betrothal
At eight o'clock in the evening, outside the courtyard of the Li family, luxury cars gathered, and the guests arrived one after another, all dressed up brightly and luxuriously, because today was the big day of Miss Li's engagement.
The courtyard is wide and bright, a fountain stands in the center, and the green lawn around the house is regularly dotted with some white plastic steel round tables, on which the wine and food are rich and diverse, and the guests in and out are all celebrities in the political and business circles.
The golden and luxurious hall is dreamy and beautiful under the lights, and people from all walks of life gather here, coming and going, and the atmosphere is lively.
The lights are bright, the paper is drunk, and that's all there is to say.
After a while, a red Fengxing sports car stopped at the gate of the courtyard with a bang.
The doorman immediately stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door, a beautiful leg slowly poked out, the crystal slippers on the feet were shining, and a tall beautiful woman had a red face, swaying around, and walked out of the car full of alcohol.
The person who came was Li Jingwan, and after separating from Li Mu, she went to the "Manse" bar and ordered a lot of drinks in one go, pouring them down one after another, intending to use wine to drown her sorrows, but she still couldn't get drunk.
The so-called drunkenness relieves a thousand sorrows, all of which are deceitful.
"Do you still remember that today is the day you got engaged to Su Minghai, why did you come back so late, what kind of madness is this!" Father Li couldn't help frowning fiercely when he saw Li Jingwan drunk unconscious, "Wait a while, you're going to get engaged, what will Ming Hai think if Ming Hai sees it?!" ”
Li Langting saw his daughter's behavior like this, although he was distressed, he still gritted his teeth and relentlessly, he would never allow today's engagement to go wrong.
When he climbed to the Li family, when the Li family had an accident, he didn't help, but like everyone else, he took the opportunity to gnaw on a piece of meat.
is even more ruthless than them, taking advantage of the Li family's defenselessness against him, he stabbed him in the back, otherwise the Li family would not have decayed so quickly.
It can be said that most of the foundation of the Li family is based on this foundation, otherwise the Li family would not have been able to develop as strong as it is today.
Over the years, this matter has become a tacit secret for everyone, and it has been circulated in various private families and has never faded.
The Li family, who was laughed at by other families, but formed an alliance but put an ally, was really calculating.
It can't be expected that there will be much left of the love of the older generation.
Li Langting watched the Li family slowly recover after Li Mu took over, and I have to say that I really can't underestimate this young man.
It's a pity that I can't be my son-in-law......
No one is good, it can't be the Li family.
He saw very clearly that Li Mu was a good man, but he only had brother and sister affection for his daughter.
S City is such a big circle, and he knows Li Mu well, he won't joke about his feelings, otherwise even if Li Mu agrees, he will have to think carefully about whether it will be his calculation.
Besides, with such a deep hatred, the Li family and the Li family have maintained the situation that the well water does not interfere with the river water for so many years, and it is only because the Li family's strength is not enough, and they are still afraid of Li Mu.
Otherwise......
Thinking of this, Li Langting's eyes gradually changed from hesitation to firmness, and then burst out with an inevitable light.
He doesn't regret it, shopping malls are like this, since ancient times, there are more icing on the cake, and less charcoal in the snow.
The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.
This time it was the turn of the Li family, and they couldn't expect the Li family to help, and if they didn't fall into the ground, they could be regarded as lucky, and they had all the friendship they had at the beginning.
When we meet in the future, it will be a real knife and a real gun.
"Why don't you take the young lady up and change her clothes?" Father Li turned his head and urged the servant.
Li Jingwan unconsciously moved her steps like a puppet, being surrounded by maids and going upstairs, every step was heavy and difficult, everything that happened today was beyond the maximum limit she could bear, and the scenes were like montage films, bizarre.
She couldn't figure out when things turned out to be like this, Mingming, Mingming, Mingming was fine in the morning.
In the morning, Li Mu agreed to come out to meet, but in the afternoon he sent a text message and refused her date.
He didn't reply to the text messages, refused to answer the phone, and finally shut down the phone directly.
When she went to his company to look for him, she learned from Secretary Li that he had already left.
Squatting at the gate of the community, what he got was his indifferent eyes, and asked in a cold and mocking tone: "Aren't you going to get engaged today, and what are you doing here?" ”
She remembered his reddish eyes, his clenched fists, and her shaking her head, trying to escape, wanting to deny, wanting to say she didn't know at all.
However, in the face of his eyes that saw through everything, he couldn't say a word when it came to his mouth.
I had to leave in embarrassment.
When Li Jingwan cleaned up her emotions, sorted out her makeup, changed her clothes and went downstairs, as the last person to appear, she unexpectedly became the focus of everyone.
With the arrival of the heroine today, the atmosphere of the scene boiled to the highest.
Wearing a blue off-the-shoulder dress, the waist is cinched to outline the silhouette, and the skirt has wavy pleats. Her hair was coiled high, revealing a slender and white neck, and a sapphire necklace was worn around her neck, which set off her skin even more white. The natural and three-dimensional makeup perfectly shows her elegance and charm, and the elegance of that moment amazes many people.
The willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and the weakness on her face made the men present pity, and they couldn't help but want people to embrace them and love them well, and wanted to hold the best things in the world in front of her, just to make her smile.
Su Minghai stared at her with burning eyes, never knowing that she also had such a beautiful and moving side, and she in front of her was like a piece of carefully carved jade, showing the most charming demeanor.
Su Minghai was proud of the envious eyes of others, but he was also dissatisfied in his heart: she was really a cheap woman, she didn't love herself and loved her to death or alive at the beginning, but now she is putting on a reluctant look to show her?
At 9:30, Li's father walked to the front desk, first made a routine speech, and then announced the news of his little daughter's engagement to Su Ming in a high-profile manner, and the guests raised their glasses to celebrate.
The two completed the engagement ceremony under the witness of everyone, and the hall immediately resounded with warm applause, praising the two for their talent and beauty, a match made in heaven.
Next, it is the time for everyone to exchange glasses, greet politely, and win over relationships.
Su Minghai took Li Jingwan through the venue to receive blessings from the guests.
Because of the compatibility, Li Mu accepted the memory of the original owner, and also took over the feelings of the original owner, which was more or less affected.
Naturally, he didn't want Li Cheng to fall into it again, especially when his own plan created an opportunity for them to meet.
Originally, he didn't want to go to Li's house to attend the engagement ceremony of Li Jingwan and Su Minghai, since the invitation was delivered, it was enough to ask someone to send them a gift, and he didn't have to go in person.
However, he couldn't resist Li Cheng's longing eyes, and when he reacted, the car was already on the way.
wanted Xiao Jiang to drive the car back, but then he thought that it would be good for Li Cheng to know about this earlier, maybe seeing the engagement of the male and female protagonists with his own eyes could dispel his thoughts.
With the idea of taking him to see it and letting him die, he led Li Cheng to the banquet.
In the vast garden, the lights flickered, the long tables were filled with food, drinks and flowers, and many well-dressed young men and women gathered in groups to talk and laugh.
The arrival of Li Mu and Li Cheng did not attract too much attention, although the two were outstanding in appearance, Li Mu rarely appeared in public, and Li Cheng had just returned to China, so not many people knew them.
didn't want to attract too much attention, so Li Mu, who was dressed in a silver-gray suit, pulled Li Cheng, who was in a white suit, stood in a hidden corner and quietly looked at the two glamorous protagonists on the stage tonight.
Thanks to this, Li Mu and the others were able to avoid crowding.
"Hey, it's a pity that the head of the Li family didn't come, it would have been nice if he had come to this scene in person." A noble lady pushed the female companion next to her, her regret was overflowing, and she pointed to the pair of prospective newlyweds on the stage, "If that one also arrives, I don't know if this marriage is still engaged!" ”
When the female companion next to her heard this, she hurriedly looked around, and was relieved to find that no one had noticed here, and reminded her to pay attention to the occasion: "You be quiet, it's not good to be heard...... This is someone's engagement party! ”
"What are you afraid of, there is me!"
Li Langting did too much back then, and his appearance was too ugly, which offended the Li family, which is now in full swing, and made other families lose their favor towards him.
This woman's husband is also one of them, so she is not interested in the Li family.
Others will give him Li Langting face, but she won't!
The woman saw the hesitation on the face of the female companion next to her, so she comforted: "It's okay, now they can't hear it from a distance, and besides, who doesn't know about this S thing, and it is because of the power of the Li family that they dare not say it to their faces, but you look at the current Li family, what is there to worry about." ”
"This ......" the female companion still looked worried, "the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it will turn over one day?" ”
"The Li family won't let him have a chance to turn over, even if you can't trust me, can't you still trust the Li family master?"
When it came to Li Mu, while her tone was admiring, there was also a hint of fear......
"Where do you start?" Several young ladies next to them also heard their conversation, and couldn't help but come over and ask curiously in a low voice.
They are all juniors, although they have heard their families talk about it, but they don't know much about it, and it is rare for someone to be willing to say, so they naturally want to ask for understanding.
This woman is not shy about it, she is usually a lively person, and she is naturally happy to have someone listen to her, so she said incomprehensibly: "You still don't know, this S city has been spread all over in private?" Let me tell you, before this, the Li family and the Li family ......"
The woman said that she was tired, took a glass of red wine from the tray of the passing waiter, took a sip, moistened her throat and continued to explain to them: "This Li Jingwan is the daughter of the head of the Li family, Li Langting, who likes it badly, but she likes the head of the Li Li family. Now, this Li Langting is forcing his daughter to marry Su Minghai......"
Su Minghai? Is it the male protagonist of the engagement party? Looks pretty good.
The curly-haired girl in the yellow dress thought about the handsome man she had seen on stage before, so she retorted to the woman: "I think this Li Jingwan and Su Minghai are quite compatible." ”
"Yes, if it hadn't been booked, I would have chased it."
"Me too."
“......”
Several young ladies who came with her also responded.
"That's because you haven't seen the head of the Li family - Li Mu ......" The woman continued to talk to them about the deeds of the head of the Li family, and her tone was a little faintly excited.
As a direct result, in just ten minutes, all of these girls had great curiosity about the unmasked head of the Li family, and the head of the Li family gained a large number of fans at Li Jingwan's engagement banquet.
Li Mu, who was standing in the corner, couldn't cry or laugh at this, why didn't he find out that Mr. Wang's wife, He Hui, who cooperated with his company, was also a talent?
In less than ten minutes, you can get yourself out, and you haven't missed any deeds from childhood to adulthood, you know, some of them can't even remember themselves.
This eloquence is more than enough to go out and be the director of the marketing department, if the Wang family's products are planned by her, what kind of sales will she worry about?
Li Mu suddenly wanted to talk to Wang Yi to see if he could discuss borrowing his wife to teach the group of employees in the marketing department in his company.
