Chapter 56: Then You're Wishful Thinking!
Xiao Zhengyun took Cong Rong's hand and went to the sixth floor of the Ivy Club, where he was communicating in German with Victoria, the Floor Manager on the sixth floor.
“Wie geht's? (How's it going?) Xiao Zhengyun greeted the white female manager Victoria, who came forward.
“Danke! Alles ist gut. Wer ist dieses hübsche Mädchen? (Thanks for the greetings, I'm all right.) Who's this pretty lady next to you? Victoria replied to Xiao Zhengyun enthusiastically, and at the same time, driven by curiosity, looked Cong Rong next to him up and down, and asked.
“Sie ist meine freundin. Wir werden nicht lange hier sein. Ich möchte von hier au sein paar Zigaretten holen. (She's a friend of mine.) We won't stay here for long. I'm here to get cigarettes. Xiao Zhengyun went straight to the point after a brief greeting with Victoria.
He actually began to regret the decision to go to the Ivy Club. After all, there are a lot of people here, and if an acquaintance sees him going in and out of here with Cong Rong late at night, and then passing it on to the tabloid reporters, it may interfere with Cong Rong's normal life. If it was a few days ago, he might not have made such a cautious consideration, but in the past few days, he Xiao Zhengyun has been indispensable in the news of major Australian Chinese media.
It is even more impossible for him to introduce Cong Rong to Victoria, a perennial socializer as Xiao Zhengyun's girlfriend, after all, he and Wendy have just been confirmed by the media as a couple.
Reading countless people, how could the sleek and sophisticated female manager not know Xiao Zhengyun's thoughts, she really didn't continue to ask, but quickly went to get some good Su Yan that Xiao Zhengyun had left here before, and after handing it over to him, she left quickly.
However, when Xiao Zhengyun and Cong Rong were about to leave the sixth layer of Ivy, coincidentally, they actually bumped into Tang Song who was coming towards him and a pair of middle-aged men and women who came with him.
When Tang Song approached, he happened to greet Xiao Zhengyun, but they didn't say hello to each other. Xiao Zhengyun's attention quickly shifted from Tang Song to the pair of middle-aged men and women next to him. And Tang Song and the two people next to him stopped together, paused there, and looked at Xiao Zhengyun and Cong Rong opposite.
Tang Song soon noticed that Xiao Zhengyun was holding Cong Rong's hand, and he stared at them, the smile on his face instantly solidified on his face. It was only very soon that he returned to his original state. Tang Song glanced at Cong Rong, who was standing next to Xiao Zhengyun, and began to look at her with a playful and even mocking attitude.
But Cong Rong's face showed a disdainful expression, she turned her face directly, deliberately ignoring Tang Song's provocation, and not paying attention to the pair of middle-aged men and women standing next to him. Xiao Zhengyun, who was also stuck there and looked a little hesitant when she pulled it up, was about to continue walking.
"Cong Rong, you stop me!" A woman's voice popped out of nowhere, her tone full of anger and disappointment. Xiao Zhengyun and Cong Rong both stopped in an instant due to this sudden reprimand, but only Xiao Zhengyun turned their heads to follow the prestige, and Cong Rong froze there, just not looking back.
The person who spoke was the middle-aged woman next to Tang Song. She looked at Cong Rong's back with an angry and sad face, and wanted to step forward. And the middle-aged man next to him was grabbing her hand hard, trying his best to stop her from moving forward.
Finally, the woman stopped trying to break free from the man, she took a deep breath, and then said to Cong Rong's back, "Cong Rong, are you really so ruthless, do you plan not to recognize your mother from now on?" I traveled all the way from Los Angeles back to Weihai to find you, but you were unmoved, and now, I moved to Sydney for you, but you are still so cold to me. Is your heart made of iron? The woman's words were full of disappointment and helplessness, and the more she spoke, the more she felt the urge to cry.
"Humph! Is my heart beaten with iron? What about yours? Less than 2 months after my father died, you couldn't wait to leave me behind and marry in the United States alone. You still have the face to talk to me about whose heart is more ruthless! What should be said, I have already made it very clear when you go back to Shandong to find me, if you still expect me to forgive you now, then you are delusional! After Cong Rong listened to the middle-aged woman's words, Qi's whole body began to tremble, she turned around with a brush, and said to the middle-aged woman opposite through gritted teeth.
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged woman's body suddenly became weak, and if she didn't pay attention, she was about to spread on the ground, but fortunately, the man next to her was quick and helped her before she fell. Tang Song on the side also hurriedly came over to help, and said, "Shang Yi, I think it's better to send your fiancée back first today, and you can persuade her first, I will talk to her later." ”
"That's fine." Shang Yi said, then hugged the middle-aged woman tightly in his arms and tried his best to comfort her. Although he has had 3 failed marriages, he still decided to marry his fourth wife in the beautiful foreign city of Sydney in the 50th year of his life, Zhao Hongguo, who is also Cong Rong's biological mother, a ruthless woman who left her young daughter and went away.
Cong Rong on the side looked indifferently at her mother who almost collapsed, she pulled Xiao Zhengyun up, and the two of them silently continued to walk towards the exit on the sixth floor of the Ivy Club.
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Zhengyun took Cong Rong back to his temporary residence in the heart of Sydney, a serviced apartment owned by Meriton, one of Australia's top builders, and Xiao Zhengyun lived in the Penthouse with 360-degree views.
