Chapter 156: Carnival (I)
Due to Wang Aiyi's instructions, the stock market on this day had large-scale ups and downs from the opening of the market at one o'clock in the afternoon, and in less than half an hour, countless small and medium-sized listed companies were suspended or directly closed. The undercurrent did not stop until the market closed at 3 p.m. Of course, this storm in the financial world is completely foreign and irrelevant to Luo Qiong.
At her current level, she is nowhere near enough to participate in certain decisive actions.
On this day, the afternoon of Christmas, the girl stayed in her own room as usual. Luo Qiong practiced her voice, improved her knowledge of music and artwork, and learned various etiquettes of Chinese and Western dining. Of course, the indispensable food appreciation must also be carried out. She was as well-behaved as a child, and her obedience was unbelievable.
Although it was Christmas Eve, which young people were keen to pursue, Luo Qiong's life was quiet to the point of being almost puritan.
Of course, the bottle of Baileys is an exception.
Ms. Tan's brow furrowed deeply at the sight of the bottle, although Baileys was not too high in alcohol and had a soft taste, making it the most suitable wine for women. But no matter what, it can't stand Luo Qiong's practice of drinking it day and night, and even drinking wine directly as water. It can even be said that since being injured and admitted to the hospital, Luo Qiong has directly replaced all liquids other than essential drinks in daily life with sweet wine.
Coming to Luo Qiong's side and casually lifting the wine bottle, Ms. Tan sighed softly and said, "I know that everything is too sudden for you. Just a few days ago, you lived quietly in a world that no one knew, and now you're standing in front of a screen of all the noise. This makes you feel stressed and uncomfortable. Or maybe you're still working with an injury, and you're physically and mentally exhausted, I understand your feelings, but you're drinking too much. β
Her attempt to take away the bottle of Luo Qiong's wine was immediately met with unprecedented resistance.
Before that, Ms. Tan almost thought that Luo Qiong was a girl who didn't know what to refuse.
I saw the drunken girl who almost guarded the wine bottle in a posture of protecting her life. Then, she clearly saw that Luo Qiong was grinning in pain because she touched the wound on her back. But just like that, she still held on to her own bottle.
Because she was not good at words, the girl barely said a word, she just grabbed the wine bottle.
Just hold on like that.
Sighing again, Ms. Tan continued to persuade, but she remembered. Luo Qiong has an injury, and she can't do any sports for at least half a year. She can't even do the ladies' favorite shopping exercise.
This is really a poor baby who is unlucky.
Despite this, Ms. Tan still habitually persuasive. "Drinking alcohol hurts the body, and drinking too much is not beneficial."
Hearing only a commotion, Luo Qiong cried out. Her tears were dripping down her face. "A quiet corner that no one knows, haha, there is nothing more peaceful and safer in the world for me than in the limelight. Do you know what it means to be uninhabited, where crime and viciousness are the source of crime, where all criminals hide, quietly waiting for some unlucky person who accidentally passes by? They will catch her and drag her into a catastrophe from which she will never recover. β
She just held the bottle and cried and drank it for a while.
"I'm not afraid of the limelight, even though I'm not comfortable with this kind of life and I can't do it perfectly. Even if I tried my best, I could only make myself look like a clown. Luo Qiong muttered, "I know better than anyone else that I don't belong to this world at all, and that I have violated her realm. But I have to live like this. Because it's the only guarantee for my survival. Only by being with it can I maintain the minimum qualifications to be a human being. She said with tears in her eyes.
It can be seen that the girl is drunk, and very drunk.
There was a knock at the door.
She is not suitable for reception. Ms. Tan was about to turn her down. But at this time, Luo Qiong quickly cleaned up his emotions all day long, and wiped away the tears that were still hanging on his face. "Come in."
It was a staff member with a tablet in hand. "Turn on the TV." The man said in a hurry.
On the big screen, Mother Luo, who can be dressed up and looks quite celebrity-like, is sensationalizing the camera with a handful of snot and tears. The woman recalled the deep love between mother and daughter, accused the power and domineering, and then raised her arms and shouted.
is so sensible, so reasonable, not like the mother in Luo Qiong's memory.
was shocked, and the staff on the side explained according to the situation. As early as the morning of the experience, posts appeared on the Internet condemning Sun Xiaoyou's bullying with power. The specific case is naturally Luo Qiong's incident as a typical example, but under the deliberate misinterpretation of well-intentioned people, the whole thing has become another version of the rich second generation oppressing the poor people, which is currently popular on the Internet. Of course, the facts revealed in those exposure posts have all been distorted by the masters to the point that they are not what they look like, and they are also the nature of nature.
In fact, although the case of Luo Qiong's injury and what Luo's mother did in the hospital has long been not an open secret, because there is no deliberate hype, the truth is only known to a small area. And this, that is, the sadness of the Internet age, the truth is often annihilated by deliberate hype. Although at the beginning of the incident, there was almost no social attention. But later, as Sun Xiaoyou gradually became popular on the Internet, it was dug up and painted in various colors for malicious hype.
Luo Qiong looked at it dumbfounded, the woman who kept saying that she wanted to kill herself, and the man who lost his fiancΓ©e because of an accident, Xiao Liu, cried tightly and hugged each other. Just so suddenly, Luo Qiong felt that death was actually a kind of beauty.
Because death can save mankind from the abyss that is far more terrible than death.
Then, another explosive news came out, the Intermediate Court announced that it would accept the case, and intended to hear the case in the near future. With such efficiency, people really have to praise the efficiency of the Celestial Empire's special affairs.
Such news caused a riot among the members of the group.
They have real evidence in their hands, and it is true. But in the Celestial Empire, sometimes you don't have to state facts or hard evidence in court, you just need to remind the judge to remain neutral until you are thrown into jail for contempt of court. In this society of power and money, there is nothing that does not open the way for power and money, even the god of law has to bend over for power and money.
Otherwise, the world would never mind changing to a sensible god of law and worshipping him.
Luo Qiong sat there with her head down, as silent and silent as ever, as if the whole event had nothing to do with her. She sat there until everyone was gone, until a candle lit up the room.
"Surprise, big surprise! Tell me if you were moved when you saw me at this moment. β
Needless to say, the girl who came jumping up and down was Yao Jing, but she didn't come alone. Behind Yao Jing, there was a vast group of girls, about a dozen or twenty, all of whom were her friends in the provincial capital.
"All of these are your friends?" Luo Qiong was slightly surprised. She knew that Yao Jing had not stayed in the provincial capital for long.
With a bang, the cork of the champagne was blown open by the bubbles. Yao Jing replied as she poured champagne onto the tower of cocktail glasses on the trolley. "Some of them were classmates from college, some were former colleagues, and some were colleagues from their studies. As for the others, I've only met recently, and they're all your fans. Because I knew that you were injured and couldn't participate in the Christmas Eve revelry, my sister and I issued a rallying call and dug them all away from the men. β
Stuffing a full glass of champagne into Luo Qiong's hand, Yao Jing raised her glass and shouted. "Merry Christmas, my sisters, to hell with the men who have nothing to offer but expired milk."
Then, the next process is the predictable ghost crying wolf howl part.
About half an hour later, Jia Lin, who came over to celebrate Christmas for Sun Xiaoyou with a French chef and a cart full of wine ingredients, was stunned by the room full of screaming and jumping ladies in front of her. When she opened the room and entered, the ladies were dancing the hottest little apple of the day. Of course, hanging socks on your head is a must.
In fairy tales, Santa Claus would sneak into every home from the chimney on this day and put their long-awaited gifts into their socks one by one. This is a fairy tale that has been circulating in the Western world for a long time. Although Jia Lin thinks that the group of demons dancing in front of her will definitely scare Santa Claus into a heart attack. May Master Guanyin bless that old man.
And his heart.
But how to say it, after all, she is a young man who likes to be lively and exciting, and she joins the crazy team with a smile.
After clinking glasses with Luo Qiong and drinking, the girl said with a smile. "It's a bit like a carnival abroad, it's crazy but it's decompressing. I like it. That girl named Yao Jing, she is really a little goblin. It's so powerful to hold an event. She's awesome. β
A piece of cream cake slammed into Garlene's priceless evening dress, snow-white cream smeared her hair, and the jam was still dripping. Therefore, she did not hesitate to give a counterattack.
Looking at the lady who was bejeweled but crazy to look good, Luo Qiong analyzed from Jia Lin's dress, this girl should have just sneaked out of a certain entertainment that she was reluctant to do. Maybe it's a blind date or something.
By the time Huang Jianliang, who was holding wine and flowers, arrived, the entire venue was so chaotic that there was no way to see it.
The man stood cautiously outside the door, listening to the proclamation of the house to drive the man away. Then he accidentally discovered that he had done all the things that were defined by women as the most evil. So, he was frightened and fled. Huang Jianliang had the illusion that if he broke in at this time, he would definitely be burned at the stake by the group of drunk women.
In the room, Jia Lin and Yao Jing screamed while toasting. "Let the hellish men and the damn blind dates all fuck off." Seeing Jia Lin, who was so pasted with fresh cream that she couldn't see the original color, Luo Qiong suddenly thought that this woman was in her thirties, and she had a chain company that was running quite well as a dowry. But Shidao doesn't even have information about patting now.
Presumably, Jia Lin's parents are at least a hundred times more urgent about her marriage than Yao's mother and Luo's mother.
It was a nightmare.
Now Luo Qiong can be sure that tonight's entertainment that was dropped by Jia Lin was a blind date. Although the parents attach importance to it, it is completely resisted and rejected by the parties.
