Chapter Twenty-Seven: Breaking the Siege
Shaowen joined hands with Zhilan, and Shaowu took Jingru straight to the Zhou Mansion. Zhilan was dressed in a light pink dress, as quiet as she liked to be red and purple, and each held her partner to watch the ceremony with the crowd.
Zhilan looked at the jubilant old man and eldest wife, looked at Yuehua Qishan and a pair of lovers, and inadvertently recalled that when she asked her sister at the birthday banquet, she answered firmly about love, and couldn't help sighing, she always admired Sister Shan's sister on emotional issues, and she had rare courage.
Zhilan's eyes searched for Mu Qing in the crowd, and Mu Qing stood in the front row in a new dark crimson robe.
Zhilan let go of Li Shaowen's hand and unconsciously leaned towards Mu Qing's side.
Mu Qing seemed to have a sense, looked back at Zhilan, lined up and held her outstretched hand, they met in the crowd, it seemed that there were only them in the space at the moment, all the background around them was false, they had a thousand words, they were full of emotions, if it wasn't for a public place, Mu Qing would definitely not be able to control herself, and it was inevitable to hold her in her arms on the spot.
The two came over holding hands, Li Shaowen kept looking at them, he always felt that their behavior was indescribably weird, and he felt more like a pair of lovers who had reunited after a long absence, and his heart couldn't help but be sour, sad and annoyed, but after thinking about it, aren't they brother and sister, secretly laughing at their absurdity and boredom, is it too indulgent and hallucination.
"Li Shaowen, can I borrow Lan'er to say a few words?" Mu Qingdao.
"Second brother, please."
"Brother, I still have a few drawings in the drawer for you, and there are still a few places to explain in those drawings, I want to tell you about them." Zhilan reminded Mu Qing in time and motioned for him to go to the room to talk.
"Okay." Mu Qing understood, and the two of them went upstairs.
Li Shaowen did not doubt him, and waited downstairs alone.
"The picture in my drawer......"
"I've already taken it. I'm sorry Lan'er, I finally understand your hardship, Mother Rong handed me this when she went back to the countryside and left, I read your diary. In the room, Mu Qing took out the key in his hand and shook it, "I was so stupid some time ago, I was swayed by emotions and lost my judgment, I was wrong, I shouldn't have snubbed you." ”
He came up from behind her, her fragrance, her body temperature, her heartbeat, everything was lost.
"I'm already married, and it's too late to say anything. Now that this is the case, what is there to think? I plan to live a good life with Li Shaowen. In the future, you don't worry about me, go and fulfill your wishes, take Wande into your hands, and marry a good woman like Sister Shan, and I will bless you and pray for you. Rong Mom, she's gone? …… It's okay to leave, she doesn't have to look at the eldest mother's face anymore, the past is long gone. Zhilan remained motionless, maintaining an intimate posture, but she said parting words, and she still couldn't suppress her emotions as she spoke, and her eyes were red from the inside out.
"You still love me, don't you?" When Mu Qing heard this, he suddenly grabbed her shoulders and turned her to himself, "Look at me...... Why don't you dare to look at me, I guessed that you still have me in your heart. ”
"It's too late, what does it mean to me to have you in my heart without you now? I'm already married to Li Shaowen, I don't know how to get out of the Li family? Take 10,000 steps back, if we are together now, what is the way but to leave Jiangcheng incognito? I don't want to drag you down like this, you originally belonged to Wande, and Wande also belongs to you. After I'm gone, don't drink anymore and take care of yourself. Zhilan turned her head, Mu Qing was infected by her pessimistic assumption about the future, and silently let go of her, Zhilan turned around and was about to open the door.
"Lan'er, I believe that our fate is not over yet, do you know what my wish is?" Mu Qing added behind her.
"What is it?" Zhilan's footsteps stopped, and the hand that opened the door froze, but he didn't look back.
"I will take you back from Li Shaowen, but when I try to do it, please wait for me." Mu Qing's words seemed to exhaust all his strength.
“…… I sincerely hope that you will succeed. After speaking, Zhilan silently opened the door and went downstairs lightly, she was still reflecting on Mu Qing's words, and suddenly saw Li Shaowen standing at the top of the stairs looking up at her upstairs.
Her mind was extremely contradictory, and she had already made up her mind to live a good life with Li Shaowen when she came, but Mu Qing sowed a seed of hope in her heart, and she was convinced that Mu Qing would do it, just like returning to the day in the private garden, Li Shaowen's face was so fierce, Zhilan still hoped that Mu Qing could cross thousands of mountains and rivers to save her.
Li Shaowen didn't have Zhilan by his side, and he only felt anxious and lost. Seeing her staggered at the top of the stairs, she couldn't help but become more and more urgent, and came up in three or two steps to lead her.
"What did your brother say to you? In such a trance? ”
"Nope. It's just a matter of discussing the design drawings, and it's already been negotiated. Zhilan cleaned up her chaotic thoughts, and saw that Yuehua and Qi Shan's ceremony was still going on, "Let's continue to go over and watch the ceremony." ”
After a while, Mu Qing went downstairs.
Suddenly, a woman blindfolded Mu Qing's eyes.
Zhilan Dai Muqing was taken aback.
Mu Qing turned his head and said in surprise: "It's you again?" ”
I don't know what the woman said to Mu Qing, he followed her to the side.
Zhilan saw it really beside Li Shaowen, and Li Shaowen asked intimately, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Zhilan shook her head, isn't this girl the eldest lady of the Qi family, Qi Mei, she looked at them from afar, very sour.
"I'm here to ask you about the agreement. When are you going to cash out? You weren't perfunctory to me at that time. Qi Mei put her hands behind her back, her eyes were shining, revealing a sly gaze. She didn't know that Mu Qing was just talking casually at that time, so it was better to simply say it and see his reaction.
"Miss Qi, you're pulling me over to mean this? I didn't perfunctory you, I've been so busy with Yinlou lately, I really don't have time to make an appointment with you, I'm sorry. Mu Qing refused.
"It doesn't matter. In the past, Liu Xuande looked at the thatched house three times, and now I have Qi Mei waiting for the rabbit, I don't believe you are busy. Qi Mei seemed to have known that he would reply, "Anyway, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple, and when the time comes, I will wait for you at Wande Silver Tower every day." ”
Mu Qing asked helplessly, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"At four o'clock in the afternoon next Tuesday, I will wait for you at the Yuegong Hotel, see you or leave." Qi Mei said coquettishly and arrogantly, "If you don't come, I have my own way to find you." ”
"So, if I don't agree, I have to agree." Mu Qing frowned, "I don't remember where I offended the girl." ”
"No, you took my wine that day, and you are my friend, wouldn't it be fun for friends to meet?" Qi Mei smiled.
Her smile was bright and refreshing, maybe this smile infected him, maybe it reminded him of the former Zhilan, but when he thought about it, he was in trouble, and Mu Qing responded.
Mu Qing came back after speaking, and was meeting Li Shaowen Zhilan.
Before she could be introduced, Qi Mei generously grabbed Mu Qing's arm, and said in a crisp voice: "I know you, you are Zhou Zhilan." Let me introduce to you, this is my boyfriend Zhou Muqing. ”
As soon as Qi Mei's words came out, several people were shocked.
"Second brother has a girlfriend, congratulations!" Li Shaowen said first.
Mu Qing remembered his promise to Lan'er, and hurriedly denied it: "Don't listen to her. We just met. ”
Qi Mei smiled sweetly: "I just met." I'll try to turn him into my boyfriend though. ”
Zhilan glanced at her, Qi Mei is her half-sister, the last time I saw her in the theater, Jingru also said that she was an ice beauty, it seems that Jingru doesn't know her. Looking at her face, she is really a proud and confident person, and in all fairness, she admires Qi Mei very much.
Qi Mei paid attention to Mu Qing all the time today, although Zhilan was his sister, and the woman's intuition keenly told her that it was definitely not easy between the two. Instead of this, it is better to strike preemptively and see how Zhou Muqing escapes.
Phoenix shuttled to add wine and desserts to the table, she also paid attention to the Miss Qi next to the second young master, her heart fell to the bottom again, and she walked a Zhou Zhilan, and another Qi Mei came.
"You maid looking for death, how did you do it? Can't put the wine well? Phoenix thought about his heart and accidentally spilled wine on Qi Guanshan.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll wipe it for you right away. Phoenix put down what she was holding and took out her handkerchief to wipe it for him.
Qi Guanshan stared at the panicked and delicate face of the phoenix, his heart was crisp for three points, and his words softened: "Okay, good." "Just go and touch her cheek.
"That's not going to work. You're red wine, and you can't wash it off on your clothes. My dear, you are inexperienced as a man, and I have to talk about this kind of occasion. A woman in a satin cheongsam saw the man's "recurrence of lust" and pushed him away delicately.
"Little girl, I can't tell you, do you know who we are, okay, ask your people in charge to come and talk to us about compensation." The woman looked at the young pink face of the phoenix and became angry, born like a little fox!
The phoenix bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Don't call the stewards, will you? Please, Mrs. ”
"Fuck off." The woman took the opportunity to raise her foot and almost kicked it, but was stopped by Mu Qing.
"It's not right that she soiled your husband's clothes, but she has apologized, little lady, and you should be forgiving and forgiving."
"Oh, it's Tuesday Shao, she's your maid of course to maintain it, if the apology is useful, why do you want the police? I only need you to compensate now, I know that your Young Master Zhou knows the goods, this is the latest style, it is worth a lot of money, and the red wine stains can't be washed off, and it will be scrapped if you wear it once. ”
"What's the good day?" Seeing his subordinates arguing here, Master Qi hurriedly turned around.
When Qi Guanshan saw him, his momentum suddenly became a little shorter, he pulled the woman next to him, and the woman glanced at him and didn't give up: "Qi Guanshan, you are a bad seed, what are you afraid of, even if the king of heaven comes today, he can't persuade him, unless their Zhou family loses money." ”
"Master Hong, this..."Qi Guanshan was deflated in front of the woman, and turned to Master Qi in embarrassment.
"She's right, you can't even manage a woman." Master Qi shook his eyes with contempt.
"Today is a big day for my Zhou family, and it is also a good day for your Qi family, you should also accept it when you see it. Well, little lady, you make a price. Mu Qing's calm tone.
"Not much, this number, a thousand." The woman held out a finger.
Everyone gasped, that is, the top-quality dresses imported from the department store, or the gowns embroidered by the best craftsmen sold in the famous garment shops, can reach 300 oceans is already an astronomical amount.
Qi Guanshan turned his face to look at Master Qi, who looked at Mu Qing with interest, he wanted to see how the rising star of the Zhou family would deal with it.
