Chapter 252: Engagement Ceremony
The next day's villa had already been solemnly and gorgeously decorated by Lin Qinghe and Zhao Xi's engagement ceremony, and the focus of the entire manor was focused on this engagement ceremony. Lin Qingrou got busy after waking up early, she had to help with some things and take care of the guests present.
Zhao Xi wore a very dignified and elegant exquisite dress today, looking radiant and bright. Lin Qingrou also went to see her in the room, and the stylist accompanying her was dressing up her makeup and hairstyling at that time.
Lin Qingrou asked Zhao Xi if she needed special help, Zhao Xi replied that there was nothing special, and expressed her feelings to Lin Qingrou, and then asked for her opinion on the modeling.
In fact, Lin Qingrou doesn't think that particularly gorgeous clothes are suitable for Zhao Xi, because she has always thought that Zhao Xi is a person with a lot of temperament and personality, and her charm does not need those eye-catching clothes to decorate, she still prefers Zhao Xi, who dresses casually but is very stylish on weekdays.
Of course, she understands that today is a special day, even if Zhao Xi herself doesn't like such a grand dress, but this is also to cater to the ceremony, everything must be prepared according to the rules.
When the engagement ceremony started on time, Lin Qingrou met Lin Qinghe. Today he is much more kind than usual, always smiling and polite. Lin Qingrou doesn't often see Lin Qinghe like this.
Lin Qinghe's angular handsome face was embellished with the arc of his smile, adding more restraint and tenderness, if it weren't for the admiration of the female guests beside him, Lin Qingrou would have almost forgotten that his brother was also a handsome and chic beautiful man.
In fact, Lin Qingrou and Lin Qinghe have similar facial contours, and this delicate and just right sense of line is precisely a clear indication from the Lin family's bloodline, and it is also the unbreakable blood connection between their brothers and sisters.
Lin Qingrou naturally saw Su Yan, who had not appeared for a long time, this woman was still so beautiful and moving, as if time had forgotten her, and it did not leave too many years of creases on her.
It was this woman who also touched the heart of her father Lin Bojie at the beginning, Lin Qingrou now feels that there is nothing strange about it, who would not be tempted by such a woman with both beauty and temperament?
's father is very good, and Su Yan is worthy of his excellence. It's just that in Lin Qingrou's mind, only her mother is always the most perfect woman, which is irrefutable.
When the master of ceremonies announced the entry of the newcomers, Lin Qingrou looked at the backs of Lin Qinghe and Zhao Xi in front of her, and slowly walked into the venue. At that moment, she felt that this moment was too beautiful, two lovers who were sincere to each other, and finally got married after several twists and turns.
The Lin family has never had such a happy event, after those changes in the family, only Du Lin's birth can be regarded as a gratifying thing, Lin Qingrou sighed secretly in her heart.
And her own marriage to Du Zeming is not happy at all, but more likely to be a tragedy and farce that has already been doomed. If there is to be the most unwilling wedding in the world, then Lin Qingrou and Du Zeming have every reason to be among them.
Putting aside these unpleasant pasts, Lin Qingrou enjoyed today's grand ceremony, and she was also very excited as Lin Qinghe's sister, everything looked very exciting at this moment.
The only fly in the ointment is that almost none of the relatives of the Lin family came to attend the engagement ceremony. The reasons for this are somewhat complex, but the main ones are nothing more than two things.
Among these relatives, some of them have never recognized Lin Qinghe as the Lin family, so they have never had anything to do with him. And more people chose to ignore Lin Qingrou and Lin Qinghe since Lin Bojie went bankrupt and committed suicide, and they disappeared into Lin Qingrou's life silently.
There is a good saying, "There are distant relatives in the rich and deep mountains, and there are no close neighbors in the poor and noisy cities", Lin Qingrou deeply realized the meaning of this sentence. Therefore, only if you are strong enough, it is the eternal truth, which is the life philosophy that Lin Qingrou has learned over the years.
Zhao Xi's father, Director Zhao, looked extremely happy today, obviously he was very unhappy with Lin Qinghe as his son-in-law before, but now he looked happier than anyone present.
Maybe it's because he has achieved the purpose behind the interests, so he is satisfied now? Lin Qingrou doesn't look down on such people, she feels that anyone who only puts the interests of power first in her eyes is too ruthless.
Du Hongming has a deeper understanding of this, and as a leader in this circle, he can clearly understand the reason why Director Zhao shows this contrast. He told Lin Qingrou that whether they are businessmen or politicians, they all have a ruler in their hearts.
Weighing the pros and cons of everything is a common trait in these people, and they are equally concerned about face and reputation. Under the circumstance that everything has become an established fact, Director Zhao will definitely not show the slightest dissatisfaction with Lin Qinghe on such an occasion.
In front of these guests, Director Zhao would only praise Lin Qinghe to express his affirmation and appreciation for this son-in-law. Now they are a family, with the common interests of both prosperity and loss.
"Doesn't this just mean that Director Zhao has accepted your brother? After all, family affairs should be closed doors, and there are only endless good things to the outside world. Du Hongming finally concluded.
At this time, all aspects of the ceremony have ended, and the guests are enjoying a sumptuous buffet. Du Hongming deliberately accompanied Lin Qingrou, intending to prevent Li Shujun from coming to her for trouble.
Lin Qingrou had already noticed Li Shujun's unkind gaze on stage just now, but Li Shujun also weighed the severity of this occasion, so she shouldn't pick such a time to be difficult to get along with.
In addition to Li Shujun, there is another person who makes Lin Qingrou a little concerned, that is, Du Zeming, who went to her room last night. However, I didn't see Du Zeming at the scene today, and I don't know if he has gone back.
If Lin Qingrou knew that Du Zeming went to the bar downstairs with Du Hongming to drink after going out of her room last night, and ended up drinking unconscious, then she would probably be shocked.
In Lin Qingrou's impression, Du Zeming and Du Hongming are simply intolerable, and they have never been able to get along calmly when they stand together. So she had a hard time believing that the two of them would ever sit down and drink together.
Du Hongming didn't say a word about drinking with Du Zeming last night, and he didn't ask Lin Qingrou about Du Zeming going to her room. The relationship between these three men is destined to become more complex and delicate.
"How's the preparation for the tea room, have you already chosen the opening date?" Du Hongming handed over a glass of coconut water and asked Lin Qingrou about the opening of the tea room by the way.
Lin Qingrou said thank you and replied, "I discussed it with Song Miao and decided to officially open at the end of next month. However, we didn't want to prepare for a grand opening ceremony, because we didn't have so much money to use for publicity, and we were afraid that if it was too high-profile, it would not match the quality of service. ”
Lin Qingrou and Song Miao had repeatedly discussed this matter for a long time, and they had indeed encountered difficulties in these two issues, so they decided to compromise first. The two of them are actually not deeply involved in the tea ceremony, although Song Miao has studied tea ceremony when he was a student, but it is only scratching the surface after all.
And Lin Qingrou doesn't know much about this, so although during the preparation of the tea room, the two of them are also spending time crazy to make up classes, but after all, compared with the majors, they still seem a little immature.
As the owner of the tea room, in addition to understanding the steps of tea preparation, it is natural to have sufficient tasting ability for the quality of tea. And these are still a bit esoteric to them now.
However, fortunately, their current positioning of the tea room is not so high, and there is still some time before the tea room is finished and renovated, so they can continue to learn relevant experience and knowledge. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and Lin Qingrou is ready to face the difficulties.
Du Hongming encouraged in a relaxed tone: "Qingrou, in fact, you don't have to worry so much, you have always been very serious and careful in your work, and you are thoughtful everywhere, and such a thing as opening a tea room is overkill for you." ”
Du Hongming has never been stingy with his praise for Lin Qingrou, and he also looks at Lin Qingrou in this way in his heart. He felt that Lin Qingrou had the quality of being serious and persevering, and such a girl was really rare now.
Lin Qingrou knew that Du Hongming was encouraging herself, and she could always hear so many undisguised praises from him. Although Lin Qingrou is still apprehensive about her small career, getting some encouragement is always a happy thing.
"Miss Lin, it's been a long time." The person who came over to say hello was Su Yan.
Lin Qingrou hurriedly responded: "Hello." ”
When facing Su Yan, Lin Qingrou always felt a little awkward. Not to mention that this woman once had a deep relationship with her father Lin Bojie, and now Lin Qingrou doesn't know how to look at her sometimes.
In fact, Lin Qingrou and Su Yan had only met in Xiushan before, so they were really not familiar with each other. And she is the biological mother of her brother Lin Qinghe, these relationships make Lin Qingrou always feel that it is difficult to treat them peacefully.
And Du Hongming, who was on the side, was naturally much more generous when he greeted Su Yan, and it seemed that the relationship between them was more familiar.
